Sometimes tattoo ink can cause an allergic reaction. INTENZE ink uses a formula that eliminates known hazardous ingredients that are commonly found in other inks, but because we can't test on everyone's skin (only our own), there will always be a risk. We recommend before tattooing a client to conduct a standard skin patch test on the client at least one month before they will be tattooed. If a client's skin reacts negatively, it will usually be instant, but in some cases it can take weeks — at least one month will tell you everything you need to know. You can find more general information on skin patch tests and how to do them on the web.
All INTENZE inks are designed to be used for artistic purposes only. We do not recommend using our inks as permanent makeup.
Quality inks, excellent selection, and fast delivery to Canada. Will definitely purchase again!
I recently used Intenze Hunter a green on a couple of Pot Leaves, and it came out great. It's a nice deep, dark forrest-green, with a hint of blue... like a dark aqua.

It's a battle between the old and new "American Idol" judges.
Singer Nicki Minaj, who has never been one to think twice about offering her two cents on an issue, went on a Twitter rant Monday against former A.I. judge Steven Tyler after he made what the singer felt was a "racist" remark against her.
Here's how it all went down...
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The Aerosmith frontman gave an interview to MTV, slamming the new judges on the show, and mentioned, "You just have to give your opinion. It wasn't hard for me, but I would imagine it's hard for some people, and they need a manager to say 'Shut the f--- up, and just give them your opinion,' " Tyler said.
"These kids, they just got out of a car from the Midwest somewhere and they're in New York City, they're scared to death; you're not going to get the best [out of them]. ... If it was Bob Dylan, Nicki Minaj would have had him sent to the cornfield! Whereas, if it was Bob Dylan with us, we would have brought the best of him out, as we did with Phillip Phillips. Just saying."
That didn't sit to well with Minaj, who decided to give the rock star a piece of her mind.
Real Housewives of Atlanta Stars' NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak get into it on Twitter
"Steven Tyler said I would have sent Bob Dylan to a cornfield??? Steven, you haven't seen me judge one single solitary contestant yet," she wrote. "I understand you really wanted to keep your job but take that up with the producers. I haven't done anything to you. That's a racist comment. You assume that I wouldn't have liked Bob Dylan??? why? black? rapper? what? go f--k yourself and worry about yourself babe."
The Barbz leader continued with, "LOL lets make him a shirt that says "No Coloreds Allowed" then escort him down 2 Barbara Walters so he can tell how he was threatened w/guns. When Steven 1st went on Idol he was ridiculed by his peers &fans alike. Called a sell out. So what does he do? Ridicule the next judge."
Tyler hasn't responded to any of Nicki's tweets and Fox had no comment on the matter.
Do you think Steven Tyler's remark was pushing it? Sound off in the comments!

Quote from: Spam on April 20, 2018, 04:48:00 pmYou guys are talking past each other.Luis, what CAPSOC is suggesting (if I read him correctly) is that the Cadet Program should add an ES test to the existing AE, Lead Lab, and PT tests currently used as advancement criteria for each cadet promotion.Per the program of record, ES is an optional element - not a core element - of the Cadet Program. Completion of an Ops Quals specialty is not, repeat NOT, a requirement for cadet promotion. This is a suggestion to change that.- break break - to address that suggestion:I've known a few CAP Squadrons which link the award of the GES rating and/or a subset of task completions to unit level awards. Ten years ago as a unit/CC I discontinued the (improper) procedure at one unit of withholding the Curry ribbon to new cadets until they'd passed a group of ES quals and a 120 question test (you can't add to or take away from National promotion criteria). Instead, I had the unit CP and DO staff work up a plan to reward cadets with the right to earn the Squadron Patch based on completing GES + the tasks for cold and hot weather injury awareness, actions on being lost, and doing a call down roster. My logic was that these tasks are all useful, safety related SQTR tasks even for cadets who do NOT choose to go far in the ES mission. For example, hot and cold weather injury prevention and response are directly useful at airshows, encampments, etc. as are the others... and all 4 are creditable, standards-based training on the top half of the GTM3 SQTR, which gets the new cadet a taste of creditable ES training to whet their appetite.That much at least can be done at the unit level right now, using existing training standards, without warranting National level changes to the program. Just a suggestion to throw out there.V/rSpam
Quote from: Holding Pattern on April 20, 2018, 04:51:07 pmIf you want further cadet engagement in ES, make a really big deal out of GT medal pinning ceremonies. Have a parent do the pinning.

Quote from: CAPSOC_0pur8ur on April 20, 2018, 05:11:49 pmHolding, I'm going to address each of your points for the sake of discussion. Please don't see this as me shooting down your suggestions.1. If our training is so outdated that we aren't effective, maybe it's time we update it as well.2. I'm not saying every cadet should go on real-world missions on a ground team. After all, we don't make cadets who are scared of heights do O flights. Likewise, we don't prevent cadets from flying because it's hard or dangerous. There are positions such as MSA, MRO, and other support staff positions that are neither high stress nor high tempo.3. Again, there are support staff positions that, while being mission critical, are not dangerous our high stress.

This wallpaper is priced and sold by the bolt. Each bolt contains 2 single rolls.
See PRODUCT DETAILS below for specifications.
Order a sample for color match, if needed, for $4.99 each with Free Shipping.
Single Roll vs Double Roll Bolt
Packaging and Sizes
Wallpaper comes in different lengths and widths and, although usually priced by the single roll, it is packaged in double roll bolts. People may find this packaging versus pricing situation hard to understand. However, wallpaper is packaged this way because double rolls (2 roll bolts) provide more usable wallpaper than single rolls. Having a longer continuous roll allows for more full drops and less end of the roll pieces. A single roll is a unit of measure that usually contains 28 - 30 square feet. Just remember, wallpaper is priced by the single roll, but is available to ship only in 2 roll bolts. Example: If you order 8 rolls....you will receive four 2 roll bolts.
Roll Sizes
Width is measured in inches. Most widths will be either 20.5 or 27 inches wide. Length is measured in feet. Most single rolls will be either 13.5 or 16.5 feet long (or 27 or 33 feet long for double rolls).
Roll Coverage
The three most common single roll sizes and the corresponding square footage (width, length – respectively) are:
|20.5 in. x 16.5 ft. = 28 sq ft
|( 2 roll bolt 33 feet long with 56 sq ft )
|27 in. x 13.5 ft. = 30 sq ft
|( 2 roll bolt 27 feet long with 60 sq ft )
|36 in. x 12 ft. = 36 sq ft
|( 2 roll bolt 24 feet long with 72 sq ft )

"El programa de Descubriendo La Lectura es excelente. Gracias a este mi hija no llora cuando tiene que hacer sus tareas y ahorita le encanta leer libros. Muchas Gracias!"
"Descubriendo La Lectura is an excellent intervention. Thanks to her participation in Descubriendo la Lectura, my daughter no longer cries when she has to do her homework and she now loves reading books. Thank you!"
- Parent of a Descubriendo La Lectura student
For more information see the Descubriendo la Lectura Overview.
Descubriendo la Lectura: Basic Facts
The goal of Descubriendo la Lectura (DLL) is to dramatically reduce the number of bilingual first-grade students who have extreme difficulty learning to read and write in bilingual classrooms and to reduce the cost of these learners to educational systems.
Descubriendo la Lectura is a reconstruction of Reading Recovery for Spanish-speaking children. It is a highly effective short-term intervention of one-to-one tutoring for low-achieving first graders in first-grade classrooms.
DLL serves the lowest-achieving first graders who are receiving classroom instruction in Spanish.
Individual students receive a half-hour lesson each school day for 12 to 20 weeks with a specially trained DLL teacher. As soon as students can read within the average reading performance of their class and demonstrate that they can continue to achieve, their lessons are discontinued, and new students begin individual instruction.
There are two positive outcomes for DLL students:
- Outcomes are comparable to outcomes for Reading Recovery students. Approximately 75% of students with a complete DLL intervention reach grade-level expectations.
- The few students who are still having difficulty after a complete DLL intervention are referred for further evaluation. They may be candidates for longer-term interventions.
Professional Development
Teachers and teacher leaders must be certified bilingual educators with experience in a primary bilingual education classroom. Although the theoretical principles that underlie Reading Recovery are the same for DLL, procedural and training issues differ because English and Spanish function differently as languages. Therefore, if candidates initially are trained in Reading Recovery in English, they must receive an additional year of training to serve Spanish-speaking students. If the teachers or teacher leaders are initially trained in Spanish, they must receive an additional year of training to serve English-speaking students.
A Follow-Up Study
In 1997, a national study of former DLL students in Grades 2 and 3 conducted by Escamilla, Loera, Ruiz, and Rodríguez revealed that Descubriendo la Lectura had positive impact on Spanish-speaking students.
- 92% of second graders and 93% of third graders who completed their series of lessons met or exceeded the average band on Spanish text reading.
- 75% of second graders who completed their series of lessons, and 79% of third graders who completed their lessons, met or exceeded the average band on the standardized Spanish reading measure (SABE-2 and SABE-3).

AP poll on Obama: 'Nice guy, so-so president'
President Obama's personal ratings are up, but his job performance numbers remain below 50%, says a new Associated Press-GfK Poll.
Or, as the Associated Press puts it: "Nice guy, so-so president."
The poll says that 58% believe Obama to be very or somewhat likable, up 9 percentage points since the end of the government shutdown in October.
Obama's approval rating, meanwhile, remains at 45%, with 53% disapproving.
More from the Associated Press:
"On the cusp of his sixth year in office, Obama is far removed from those heady days before his first inauguration, when two-thirds of Americans predicted he'd be an outstanding or above-average president.
"Now, 31 percent think he's been outstanding or above average, a quarter size him up as average, and 42 percent describe his presidency as below average or poor.
"The ranks of those who believe he's been outstanding or above average have edged down 6 points since just after Obama's re-election in November 2012, reflecting slippage in how he's viewed by Democrats, particularly liberals."

March 29, 2012
Santiago, Chile
It wasn't too long ago that nearly every human being lived their entire lives without traveling more than 10-miles from home. For the small handful of people who actually did venture out, you could make it across the globe with no official documents whatsoever.
This began to change rapidly in the 1920s. The newly formed League of Nations began meddling in the business of international travel and worked to standardize an international identification document that would be required by travelers to cross most borders.
The ominous phrase, "Papers, please", was born from this standardization.
These days, international travel is big business for governments. Think about all the massive bureaucracies that have been created as a result of national borders: Immigration checkpoints. Customs. Border patrol. Passport offices. Even the IRS is involved in passport application procedures.
As much as it would be nice to go back to the days when people were free to criss-cross the world without such inconveniences and indignities, this just isn't going to happen. So since we can't go back to a zero passport world, the next best solution is a multiple passport world.
Let me explain.
Nearly everyone on the planet becomes a citizen of some country at birth… either due to the citizenship of their parents or the country that they were born in. Most people live their entire lives with this sole citizenship, and usually reside in the same country.
In a way, this is akin to having all of your eggs in one basket– living, working, banking, etc. in the same country of your citizenship. And history is full of colorful examples of those baskets breaking… from economic hardship to social turmoil to natural disaster to all-out genocide.
Ultimately, the concept of having multiple citizenships is about having more baskets… and spreading your eggs around. It means having more flexibility, no longer being constrained by the limitations of a single country. For example:
1) Safety. As I'm fond of saying, nobody ever hijacks an airplane and threatens to kill all the Lithuanians. There are no evil men in caves plotting terrorist attacks against Uruguayans. Nobody is burning Panamanian flags in the streets of Pakistan to protest innocent deaths at the hands of Panama's fleet of unmanned Predator drones.
Simply put, some nationalities are a bit more high profile due to the actions of their governments. Others aren't.
2) Travel freedom. Did you know that a US or Canadian passport isn't particularly useful to travel to South America? US and Canadian citizens have to obtain a visa, in advance, just to travel to Paraguay! Or Brazil. Plus Argentina and Chile both charge 'reciprocity fees' on arrival (since the US and Canadian governments do the same thing.)
Other nationalities are welcomed with open arms. Singaporean citizens, for example, enjoy visa free (or visa on arrival) travel to nearly every country on the planet. Singapore is the only passport in the world that commands visa free (or visa on arrival) travel to the US, UK, European 'Schengen Area', China, and India.
Further, did you know that you can be barred from traveling to some Middle Eastern countries if you have an Israeli immigration stamp in your passport?
Once again, multiple passports means more options, and more freedom… in this case, the freedom to travel.
3) Business and investment freedom. If you're a US citizen, foreign banks don't want to deal with you, foreign brokers don't want to deal with you, and most foreign investors don't even want to risk getting in bed with you.
FATCA, Dodd Frank, etc. all make it too difficult for foreigners to deal with US citizens; nobody wants to risk the IRS or SEC knocking on their door. As a result, many US citizens have been kicked off the boards of foreign companies, had their foreign bank accounts closed, and been disallowed from buying into lucrative foreign IPOs.
Having another citizenship normally circumvents these hurdles.
4) 'Citizen benefits'. If national healthcare is your thing, there can be a lot of benefit in having a second citizenship– in many cases, you'll enter the public healthcare and pension system, giving you a potential backup in case you need it.
5) Relocation and work possibilities. With a second citizenship, you'll always have the right to live and work in another country. Imagine, for example, having a European passport, entitling you to work anywhere in the EU. If you're living in the US or Canada now, that could potentially open up an entire new line of lucrative opportunities to pursue.
6) The insurance policy. Ultimately, having a second passport is like having an insurance policy. You might not ever need it… but you're going to be really glad that you have it in case you ever do.
Again, history is full of catastrophic events that have caused tremendous turmoil in nations… and people who have been trapped inside with no way out have had their lives turned upside down.
A second passport can be that ticket out… safe passage for you and your family to a new place where the opportunities are better, safer, and brighter. It's a scenario that no one can really imagine… but history shows that few people ever do.

Pfizer Inc. is recalling 1 million packets of birth control pills after uncovering a packaging error that could leave women with an inadequate dose of the hormone-based drugs and raise the risk that they will get pregnant accidentally.
The company writes in a release:
"As a result of this packaging error, the daily regimen for these oral contraceptives may be incorrect and could leave women without adequate contraception, and at risk for unintended pregnancy. These packaging defects do not pose any immediate health risks. "
The problem affects 14 lots of Lo/Ovral-28 tablets and 14 lots of generic Norgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol tablets. Both products are manufactured by Pfizer and marketed in the U.S. by Akrimax Rx Products.
Pfizer found that some packets of the drugs had too many active tablets, while others had too few. Oral birth control products use a series of 21 drug tablets and seven inactive sugar tablets to regulate the menstrual period while providing contraception.
A company spokeswoman said the problem was caused by both mechanical and visual inspection failures on the packaging line. She said the problem has been corrected.
The affected packets have expiration dates ranging between July 31, 2013, and March 31, 2014.
The drugs were distributed to warehouses, clinics and retail pharmacies throughout the U.S.

Daily Slice: Liguria Bakery, San Francisco
A different slice profiled each day.
At Liguria Bakery, with no display case and almost nothing on the shelves, you could be forgiven for thinking that they don't sell anything at all. You'd almost be right. Liguria sells one thing, the same thing they've sold for exactly 100 years: focaccia. And people gobble it up. Though the sign behind the counter lists nine different types of focaccia, when I arrived at eleven on a Thursday morning, all they had left was Pizza or Onion. (The store closes when they sell out, often by noon.)
What's New On Serious Eats
The women behind the counter at Liguria certainly don't crack any excess smiles as they wrap your focaccia in plain white paper and tie it off with a string. But that's okay, the focaccia is good enough that it requires no sales pitch, and these women—relatives of the original baker who opened Liguria in 1911—have likely been up since the wee hours preparing the contents of this package, so cut them some slack.
My Pizza Focaccia ($5) came covered in deep red sauce and studded with green onions. No cheese. The inside of the bread, redolent of olive oil and seasoned with salt, boasted such a light consistency that I could have used it for a pillow. The edges that had been pressed up against the oiled pan had developed an almost (and I can't believe I'm about to use this word) ethereally crisp skin. If the top of this focaccia looks bare compared to other "pizza," the rich and balanced sauce—both bright and sweet—carried the day, needing only the occasional sweet-tangy crunch of the green onion to spice up its landscape. I easily could have eaten the giant slab—approximately six inches by twelve—on my own.
Rumor has it that if you arrive early enough, you can get focaccia that's still warm from the oven*. Arrive late, as I did, and it may cross your mind to take your focaccia home for a reheat, but Liguria is located just across the street from Washington Square Park, a great place to stare up at Peter and Paul Church while you eat. That works, because you may have just found religion.
*And quite the oven it is—the same one that was originally there when they opened in 1911, though they switched over from wood to gas about fifty years ago. They wouldn't let me back there to take photos, but the woman behind the counter explained that it employs a contraption that literally spits flames into the mouth of the oven until it's heated to 1500 degrees. They then close the oven door and let it slowly cool over the course of the day so that it's at baking temperature—about 800 degrees—early the next morning when they are ready to begin cooking up the new batch of focaccia. Check out this pic from Me, Myself, and Pie.

Crewneck Sweatshirts
Sort By:
The Evolution of Promotional Crewneck Sweatshirts
There was once a time when activewear, such as promotional crewneck sweatshirts , never existed. For a long period of time professional athletes participating in the ancient Olympics competed in the nude. The interpretations surrounding their lack of clothing vary, but some can assume it is due to clothing's restrictive nature. As fabrics and styles evolved, activewear began to change specifically to help people more effectively participate in various activities. Promotional crewneck sweatshirts continue to evolve today. What once was considered casual attire and worn only in the home, is now one of the most highly purchased and publicly accepted attires. Thus, designers have shifted the function and style of sweatshirts and sweatpants. Now that athletic wear comes in such a variety of styles, colors, and functions, one can be reassured that their promotional crewneck sweatshirts will never go out of style.
Use Promotional Crewneck Sweatshirts as a Marketing Tool
Promotional crewneck sweatshirts can be a great marketing tool for any team or company. As casual and athletic wear have become an accepted attire in public arenas, create a walking ad by placing the company logo on sweatshirts and other promotional active apparel. Promotional crewneck sweatshirts are constructed with high quality, durable fibers so they are sure to allow brand exposure for years to come.
Give Promotional Crewneck Sweatshirts as a Team Gift.
During those cold days on the playing field, athletes will turn to their promotional crewneck sweatshirts to keep warm while representing their respective teams. One of the best gifts for any league, high school, or even professional team is a custom sweatshirt. Whether the team's season is during the fall, winter, or spring, they will surely wear their promotional crewneck sweatshirts with pride. When awards night roles around make sure to include a custom team sweatshirt in every player's bag.
Promotional Crewneck Sweatshirts as a fad
Promotional Crewneck Sweatshirts will never go out of style. As the saying goes, fashion repeats itself. In the 1990's one of the top designers of the time created custom sweatshirts. A few celebrities made media appearances in their trendy sports gear, and the next day stores in New York City couldn't keep these promotional crewneck sweatshirts on the shelf. So, when that custom hooded sweatshirt seems a little outdated, remember the saying, fashion repeats itself.
Promotional Crewneck Sweatshirts as a costume
Looking for a creative but inexpensive costume idea? Use promotional crewneck sweatshirts to dress up as a girl living in the 80's. Everyone remembers the 1980's style of scrunchies, spandex, and cut up sweatshirts. Turning a custom sweatshirt into the perfect 80's top takes seconds. Take the sweatshirt and lay it on a flat, clean surface. Then take a pair of scissors and cut along the neckline of the sweatshirt. Before making an even wider neck, try the sweatshirt on to make sure it fits properly. The more the neckline is cut away, the more the sweatshirt will lay off the shoulder.

Guinness World Records declared it the most expensive hot dog in the world.
"It's savory. It has fabulous flavors. It's an amazing hot dog," Tokyo Dog co-owner Eugene Woo told ABC News. "Our buyers loved it. They think it's the best hot dog they've ever had."

The Line that Lies Within: Form and Poetics in the Pricke of Conscience (Kalamazoo, May 2015)
The Line that Lies Within: Form and Poetics in the Pricke of Conscience
The Pricke of Conscience is a work that has garnered increased attention over the past several years with scholars taking note of the text's visceral images, complex theological implications, and extensive manuscript circulation. Howell Chickering and Moira Fitzgibbons, in particular, have explored the Pricke of Conscience's poetic and rhetorical properties as a way to analyze the text's engagement with matters of sin, salvation, and the Final Judgment. Chickering, for example, argues that the text differs from other late medieval didactic works in its rhetorical emphasis. He states that "many passages are explicitly designed to stimulate physical fear (ME. 'drede') in the reader or hearer as a first step toward contrition" ("Rhetorical Stimulus" 193). This panel continues the focus on the poetic and rhetorical properties of the Pricke of Conscience, asking how questions of form can deepen our understanding of the text's theological, didactic, and cultural resonances. Papers might examine the Pricke author's creative reworking of his source texts, representations of hearing and seeing in the text and their relationships to form, intersections between form and self-knowing, explorations of the text's visceral poetics, questions of whether the text is worthy of literary study, etc. We invite any work that explores issues of form in the Pricke of Conscience in connection with broader concerns of style, content, and context (both religious and cultural).
Please send abstracts of no more than 250 words together with a completed Participant Information Form (available here: http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/) to Shaun Hughes (email@example.com) by September 15. Please include your name, title, and affiliation on the abstract itself. All abstracts not accepted for the session will be forwarded to Congress administrators for consideration in general sessions, as per Congress regulations.

DV SSL certificates improves your Google search ranking.
You're in luck. Google search recognizes sites with SSL certificates installed, and rewards them with higher search results ranking than sites that don't have an SSL certificate. Now, that's a win-win.
Increase traffic and sales.
According to a Certificate Authority (CA) Security Council study, only 2% of customers proceed past an "untrusted connection." A DV SSL cert prevents these types of security errors that drive customers away.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Domain Validation SSL certificate?
A Domain Validation (DV) SSL certificate is the most basic of the three types of SSL certificates. While Organization Validated (OV) and Extended Validated (EV) require multiple validation steps, DV SSL certificates require a single step. Plus, before we grant a DV certificate, we verify that the domain name of the applicant has been validated by proving some control over a DNS domain. Here's an example: https://www.godaddy.com/help/verify-my-certificate-request-standard-assurance-23838
Is a DV SSL certificate right for me?
DV SSL certificates are very beneficial for those who want to quickly get a certificate on their site to build trust and ensure their visitors are protected.
What is the advantage of having a DV SSL certificate?
Validation is quick and easy with DV SSL certificates. If you're able to prove DNS control for your domain you can have a fully-functioning certificate issued within minutes and there's no need to provide validation documents.
What does a DV SSL certificate look like?
Any website protected by a DV SSL certificate displays a small padlock and https prefix in the visitor's browser bar. Although it's not quite as eye-catching as the EV certificate's green bar, it's reassuring to those who know to look for it before sharing private details online. These signs confirm they're on an encrypted site – and their data is safe.
What are the differences between Organization Validation (OV), Extended Validation (EV) and Domain Validation (DV) certificates?
Domain Validation (DV) certificates are easiest of all the certificates to obtain. There's no manual identity check, only an automated verification that confirms the applicant owns the domain behind the website. If you have a personal website or blog, a DV SSL certificate is suitable for you. Organization Validation (OV) certificates take security up a level and require human verification of the organization's identity. The same is true for Extended Validation (EV) certificates, which verify not only domain ownership, but business identity, legal status and address. The vetting process for the EV cert is more in-depth than any of the other certificates, thus EV SSL certificates instill a greater degree of confidence to customers who visit your site.

Why choose GoDaddy SSL Certificates?
We offer a complete range of certificates that comply with CA/Browser Forum guidelines. All our certificates feature:
- SHA-2 hash algorithm and 2048-bit encryption
- Outstanding security support
- 30-day money-back guarantee

Like virtually every community in the U.S., Terrebonne Parish is infected with the destructive influence of illegal drugs. Terrebonne's proximity to larger cities, as well as its location on the Gulf of Mexico, contribute to the drug problem.
Led by , the TPSO Narcotics unit wages a consistent and effective war against those who traffic in and infect others with illegal drugs, and has amassed an enviable record of arrests and seizures.

Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to my colleague's comments. Since they were directed at Alberta, I would like to make a couple of comments and ask her a couple of questions.
First, she talks about a transfer of wealth. She is right, it is about a transfer of wealth. It is about the fact that 16% of every manufacturing job in the province of Ontario depends on the oil patch in Alberta. I know she does not care about that in the province of Quebec, but it is also about transfer of wealth in terms of the equalization payments that go to Quebec that are funded by, in very large part, the oil patch in Alberta and taxpayers in Alberta.We do not mind that. I certainly do not mind that as an Albertan.
However, I would like to ask her a question. People talk about unfair increases in the price of gas. Under the Liberal plan for Kyoto, it would go to $1.60 or $2.00 a litre. I am sure she would find that unfair. But what is fair? People say this is an unfair rise or that it is an unreasonable profit. I would like to know from the member what is, then, a fair rise in gas prices, depending on market fluctuations, and what is a reasonable profit for the oil companies? I suspect the answer to that would be zero, but I would like to ask the hon. member that question.


text: NEWS Caroline Shaw Wins 2013 Pulitzer Music Prize 4/15/2013 by Chris Talbott FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Pulitzer Prize Board The 30-year-old musician won for "Partita for 8 Voices," an a cappella composition. Caroline Shaw isn't your typical Pulitzer Prize for music winner. The violinist and vocalist is just 30, a freelance musician in New York, a grad student at Princeton University and an all-around music lover who is combining new ideas with old to make something the Pulitzer foundation found enchanting. "I think up to now people have known me as a violinist and then more so as a singer," Shaw said in a phone interview from New York where she lives. "I guess now people are going to know me as a composer - I guess more than I'm used to." She won a Pulitzer often given to older composers and musicians for her composition "Partita for 8 Voices," an a cappella piece written for her vocal octet Roomful of Teeth that's both modern and steeped in the Baroque tradition. It was released in four parts on Roomful of Teeth's self-titled debut album last October on New Amsterdam Records. Allemande (composed by Caroline Shaw) by Roomful of Teeth The Pulitzer committee wrote of Shaw's work: "a highly polished and inventive a cappella work uniquely embracing speech, whispers, sighs, murmurs, wordless melodies and novel vocal effects." Shaw writes of the four-part suite on her website: "Partita is a simple piece. Born of a love of surface and structure, of the human voice, of dancing and tired ligaments, of music, and of our basic desire to draw a line from one point to another." She says the piece was inspired by Sol LeWitt's "Wall Drawing 305," an installation piece she saw at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, where Roomful of Teeth sets up shop for a few weeks every summer. Shaw will receive $10,000 for the prize, and plenty of attention. The category's other finalists included previous winner Aaron Jay Kernis for classical composition "Pieces of Winter Sky" and jazz musician Wadada Leo Smith for "Ten Freedom Summers," a 10-part examination of the civil rights movement. The North Carolina-born Shaw was on the way Monday evening for rehearsal with the American Contemporary Music Ensemble, another group that inspires the composer in her. "There's a bit of a new guard of contemporary classical musicians in New York and we play a lot of different kinds of music together," Shaw said. "We do pop studio sessions and we'll also play John Cage and more avant-garde work. We're developing a language of music that comes with a lot of different styles, different kinds of work."

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Kraft wasn't an excellent bball player I believe I was just arguing that he wasnt the top 5 in ND if I remember right. I thought Lindahl was because he is one of only two in ND history to get 2000 pts and 1000 rebs.
We played MPCG in the state tourney when Kraft was a senior. We won by 25 and held Kraft to 15 and Klabo to 2 pts and 1 reb in that game. We played against Cando in the first game of that season and Lindahl scored 10 but had a lot of blocks and a decent number of rebounds against us. He really started to come on later that season and probably would have scored 15-20 if we played them again.

No love above: Barclay Place works it out
"Come home to Barclay Place," its website urges, a "peaceful retreat" where one can "appreciate the residential-like seclusion in prestigious Albemarle County."
While the English majors among us might wonder what "residential-like seclusion" means, Joshua Bartz stays busy wondering what happened to his "peaceful retreat."
Bartz, a UVA law student, lived contentedly last year at the upscale apartment complex. When his lease ended in August, he changed roommates and apartments and moved in under neighbors who, he claimed, shattered his calm. Starting on September 4, he made "numerous complaints" about them and their allegedly boisterous habits. In a written account, for instance, he stated that they "routinely run across their apartment wearing heavy boots while playing fetch with their dog. "
When they aren't entertaining "numerous visitors who also make ridiculous amounts of noise," he stated, they entertain themselves by "jumping up and down so violently that walls shake, furniture moves, and decorative plates have been jarred onto the floor."
Bartz claims that his complaints made no dent in the couple's lively lifestyle. After a meeting arranged by Tammy Ray, the complex's manager, he says, the racket just got worse. Given the husband's "extremely belligerent attitude at the meeting," Bartz wrote, "it is obvious they are doing this intentionally as revenge."
Bartz finally filed a complaint with the state Office of Consumer Affairs, after which, he says, Ray and her boss at Great Eastern Management Company – which manages the complex – offered to let Bartz and his roommate move to a new apartment.
It seems like things would have calmed down after that, but just the opposite. "It was at this point," Bartz declares, "that they began their fraudulent and deceptive practices." By his account, Great Eastern first said that Bartz and his roommate could transfer without paying any additional deposits, but then demanded a $400 security deposit from Bartz and a $250 pet deposit from his roommate.
After that, Bartz says, all kinds of mayhem ensued regarding when they would vacate their current apartment and move into the one they'd chosen. Things went downhill fast, and by the time he contacted The Hook on October 13, they appeared to be at an impasse.
I spoke briefly with Tammy Ray, who referred me to her boss, Dotty Hopkins, managing director of Great Eastern. The noise concerns, Hopkins claimed, "went both ways." She said that the situation had been frustrating for everyone. "We believe we've been very responsive," she said. "We try to be extraordinarily customer-service oriented."
The apartment Bartz will be moving into, she said, is more expensive, has more features, and is on the top floor– which means that no heavy-booted neighbors can be cavorting overhead. Even so, Bartz and his roommate will pay the same rent they're paying for their current apartment.
As for the allegedly unfair deposits, Hopkins explained that Great Eastern's policy is to handle such transfers as two separate transactions: They inspect the first apartment when it's empty and refund the appropriate amount from that deposit. Meanwhile, before the tenant moves into the new apartment, the complex collects a second deposit. In other words, Bartz and his roommate weren't being asked to pay more overall; they would presumably be reimbursed the original deposits. In this situation, however, Hopkins said that Great Eastern had already decided to make an exception and not require a second set of deposits.
All Bartz had to do, she said, was pick up his keys and provide a moving date. He's now done that, and by the time you read this, he expects to be mid-move. Let's hope he finds that peaceful retreat soon– and has really quiet downstairs neighbors.

Best-selling author Brandon Mull, creator of the "Fablehaven" book series, was in Pekin, Peoria and Dunlap today to talk about his imagination and what inspires him to write. About 400 fourth and sixth grade students at Pekin's Wilson Intermediate School listened in during an imagination-building session.
Of course enchanted creatures like giants, dragons, fairies and trolls can't be found in everyday life.
That's because they're tucked away on a wildlife refuge called Fablehaven.
At least that's the premise of author Brandon Mull's "Fablehaven" book series, and many of the students at Pekin's Wilson Intermediate School love every bit of it.
"I make a living from my imagination," Mull said to about 400 fourth and sixth graders at the school Friday during an imagination-building session.
Mull, a New York Times best selling author, stopped at area schools in Pekin, Dunlap and Peoria Friday to promote the power of imagination and his new line of books.
So far two books in the five-part "Fablehaven" series have been released, with the third set for release in April. The second installment landed on the New York Times best seller list and brought talks of a movie deal for Mull.
The same producers of the Marvel comic-based movies Spider-Man and X-Men are working on a deal to bring Mull's "Fablehaven" to the big screen.
"For a new writer, it's a vast relief that people are interested," Mull said.
The fantasy and adventure-style books have been compared by critics to the Harry Potter series, but Mull says his books aren't just a Potter spin-off.
"We're not trying to re-write Harry Potter, but it's definitely for a similar audience," he said. "I think that's a great book in the genre and it's gratifying to be compared to it."
Students eagerly waved their arms in the air as they sat on the gym floor, filled with questions for Mull about his work.
The students have been reading the books in class and some got to participate in an imagination game with Mull, who asked them questions and created a bizarre planet with marshmallow monsters and freezing weather during an impromptu story session.
"I was always a big day dreamer," said Mull, explaining his source of writing creativity.
Principal Matt Green said Mull's visit was intended to get students interested in reading, and it seemed to work.
"Reading, by far, is our biggest area of concentration," Green said. "This really promotes literacy for our students in a big way."
Green said all the schools in District 108 are striving for more reading among students.
"Our big push is wanting kids to enjoy reading and also become better readers," he said.
For the students in the audience, Mull's visit helped bring the fantasy of "Fablehaven" to life. Free posters didn't hurt either.
"I've read a lot of books about magic powers and this is one of the good ones," said fourth grader Ardit Rrushaj, who was also impressed by the presentation. "It taught me a lot about imagination."

Is the Web small banks leg up?
Book Review: Social media and financial literacy efforts could boost your bank
- |
- Written by Jane Haskin
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
Are you still considering if your bank should become involved in social media through the internet? In his book Smarter, Faster, Cheaper, David Garland answers that question with a resounding "YES," and he adds that NOW is the time. Although his book isn't written directly to banks, his ideas can be used by any business to make it more competitive and smarter, with smaller marketing budgets.
The internet has leveled the marketing playing field between small and large businesses and in many cases, the smaller businesses have the advantage. This book is loaded with examples of how young, energetic, passionate entrepreneurs have employed the internet to reach targeted customers and provide them with valuable information that makes the customer want to do business with the entrepreneur's company. The entire time I was reading, my mind was racing with ideas that could easily be applied to banking.
Marketing will evolve, with or without you
Even if you don't feel social media is right for your bank, you need to read this book to understand how young entrepreneurs think and how marketing is being revolutionized by the internet.
David Garland is a young entrepreneur who founded The Rise To The Top, which he professes to be the #1 non-boring resource for building your business smarter, faster, cheaper. He writes and hosts RISE, a Web show for entrepreneurs and forward thinkers. His costs to produce his Web show are nominal, yet he has a tremendous following of people who consider him to be an expert in developing a new business. Garland emphasizes over and over the need to first provide value to people and then they will want to do business with you.
Over the last 15 years, banking products have continued to become much more complicated. What better way to provide value to your customers and potential customers than by providing educational information to empower them with knowledge about how financial products work and show them how they will benefit?
How can your bank utilize the internet to provide this information? Almost every bank has a website. Use your website as a portal to provide webcast, articles, or audio recordings that allow consumers and businesses to realize you are an expert at banking and you want to provide information that will be helpful to them in reaching their financial goals.
Who in the bank should offer the advice as the expert banker?
Garland suggests it should come from the top. The goal is to become recognized as the most knowledgeable expert when it comes to financial services. In his book, he shows you how to use the internet to drill down and reach individual customers or targeted groups.
How many 20-somethings do you have coming into your bank to transact their banking business? If your bank is like mine, probably not many—even though we are directly across the street from a university and many of the students do bank with us.
Garland provides ideas on how to reach those customers and have a personal relationship with them through the internet. The great news is if you can reach these young customers, make a connection, and provide good value to them, they won't feel the need to move their accounts when they relocate; as long as they have an internet connection and a debit card, they can conduct their banking.
And social media risks will grow, like it or not
Another useful resource provided by the book is guidance on monitoring the social media channels to see what is being said about your bank. Garland provides several websites to use that will inform you if your bank's name is mentioned on the Internet. These comments could be both positive and negative, but you will then have an opportunity to respond to both.
The importance of such alert services can't be over-stressed.
Before the Internet, what happened when a customers were upset with your bank? They might write a letter to the editor of the local newspaper, plus tell all of their friends and family. This would occur over a period of time. Although you never want your reputation damaged by negative comments from customers, such damage was usually limited to the customer's circle of friends and family, or in worst cases, the community.
Now, if you have a disgruntled customer, they can walk out of your bank, create a tweet about their complaint, and within minutes inform the entire internet community.
Time to reach out to customers
As bankers, we need to look at new ways to market our products and be smarter, faster, and cheaper than the competition. This book will definitely give you new ideas. The internet isn't going away and we all need to work with the regulators to establish guidelines as to how we as banking experts can utilize this tool to educate and inform the public about financial services.
After reading the book, I would challenge bankers to step outside of the traditional banking model and explore to see if there are ways you can reach your customers that are smarter, faster, and cheaper.

Republican News
Republican News
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, today discussed the Payment-in-Lieu of Taxes (PILT) and Secure Rural Schools (SRS) programs during a Senate Energy and Natural Recourse Committee hearing on steps Congress can take to ensure that the federal government keeps its commitments to rural communities.
(Click photo for video of opening statement)
"The federal government is broke, and we can't continue to pay counties not to utilize the lands within their boundaries," Murkowski said. "We need to address head on the fact that federally-owned land has a profound impact on the fiscal and economic base of a community, as well as on its social fabric."
PILT is a permanent program that provides compensation to local governments from the loss in tax revenue from nontaxable federal lands within their communities. Secure Rural Schools is a temporary program that was designed to help communities transition from timber sales decline.
Murkowski is the ranking Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

All About Baby
This is another big week for your wee one. Early in week 7, the embryo still looks like a tadpole, but by the end of the week it will have transformed into a tiny being that's distinctly human-like. Its body is continuing to lengthen, the arms begin to bend at the elbows and curve around the heart, which is beating even more rhythmically now. By the end of this week the embryo's whole skeleton — made of bendable cartilage, like a shark — will be fully formed. (To be replaced by bone soon enough.) The baby has a digestive system now, as well as kidneys, liver, heart, spleen, and even an appendix. Your placenta has sprouted hundreds of minute hair-like projections (called villi), making it look like a fuzzy ball. The villi have the important job of carrying nutrients and oxygen from your bloodstream to your growing baby.
All About You
While your fetus no longer looks like frogspawn, you're may be feeling pretty green around the gills this week. That's because the placenta — that glorious, ruby red organ that is a lifeline to your baby — is growing rapidly and its cells are releasing large amounts of the pregnancy hormone (hCG) into your bloodstream. Even if you don't know it, you have a love-hate relationship with hCG. The rise in hCG levels is a sign of a healthy pregnancy, but it's also what's making you cringe at the smell of your mother-in-law's perfume or clutch your stomach every time you pass a food court. Along with the nausea, mood swings, frequent trips to the bathroom, and extreme fatigue are still a fact of life. (Growing an entire human being in your body is exhausting!) If you're not feeling these symptoms acutely, no worries! Every woman's body responds to pregnancy differently and you may be one of the lucky ones who breezes through the first three months.
This Week: Cravings and Other Pregnancy Symptoms
If a greasy cheeseburger or a jar of pickles never appealed to you before pregnancy, you might be surprised to be craving them now. Plenty of theories exist about why pregnancy cravings happen, but there's still no conclusive reason.
Filling a Nutritional Need
One prevailing theory explains that pregnancy cravings may be the body's way of getting the nutrients it needs. Say you're craving a steak; maybe your body lacks protein. And ice cream? Your body might need more calcium to support bones, which have added strain as your pregnancy progresses. "When you have a craving it's usually based on some sort of nutritional need or nutritional balance," says Dr. William Camann, MD, author of Easy Labor: Every Woman's Guide to Choosing Less Pain and More Joy During Childbirth.
Shunning Certain Foods
The flip side of cravings is food aversions. In other words, foods you loved before pregnancy may be repulsive to you now. Dr. Camann believes the nutritional need theory may also explain food aversions. You need a healthy balance of foods and a varied diet to provide your body and your growing baby the nutrients they need; food aversions may be a way for your body to ensure that happens. If you craved junk foods before your pregnancy, you may turn your nose up to them now. For example, some chocolate lovers find themselves repulsed by the idea of eating chocolate once pregnant.
The Smell Factor
Part of your food aversion may stem from your increased nose power. Pregnancy hormones kick your sense of smell into high gear. If a food has an overwhelming odor — say, garlic-laced chicken — your stomach may lead you to shun that food. On the other hand, pleasing smells — or even the lack of an odor (think saltines) — can make these foods your new comfort.
Satisfying Flavors
While researchers don't know why pregnant women crave certain foods, they do know that women share some common favorite flavors.
- Salt: Pickles, saltines, potato chips — they're all packed with salt and can be oh-so-gratifying during pregnancy. Dr. Camann points out that with your body's increased blood volume during pregnancy, your body may need additional sodium to pump up blood production.
- Sour: Pickles, lemons, and fruits have tart flavors that may ward off morning sickness and ensure that you eat enough fruits to provide nutrients for your growing baby-to-be.
- Bitter: Early in your pregnancy you may find that you have an aversion to bitter tastes. Researchers theorize that this may have evolutionary origins. Poisonous foods often have bitter flavors, so if you can't stand the taste, you may avoid harm.
When to Be Concerned
Cravings are usually not a problem during pregnancy — in fact, they can be amusing and maybe a fine excuse to send your partner scrambling for ice cream at midnight.
Though uncommon, some women experience unusual, even bizarre yearnings called pica cravings. Women with this condition long to eat non-food substances like sand, dirt, bleach, even cigarettes. Doctors still don't know why women would have these kind of cravings. Dr. Camann says there's speculation that women's bodies may be trying to supplement certain nutritional needs, but no one knows for sure. These cravings can be dangerous to you and your unborn baby if you act on them. If you find yourself yearning to munch on the sandbox, let your healthcare provider know; he or she may refer you to a specialist who can help you sort out these dangerous desires.

Q: How can I manage morning sickness?
If you feel nauseous, it is important to make sure that you are well-hydrated and nourished. There are a few tried-and-true tricks and tips that can help you through this unpleasant, but short-lived, part of your pregnancy. Read more about morning sickness remedies.
Q: Is pain a sign of miscarriage?
No. You can have pains that are growing pains. Also, adhesions (internal scarring) can get stretched in pregnancy, giving these types of pain. Read more about these and other aches and pains during pregnancy.
Your Partner
Managing Her Morning Sickness
For you, "morning sickness"probably conjures vague associations with overzealous nights out. But this hangover doesn't go away by lunchtime. The nausea and other fun symptoms of pregnancy may last all day, and sometimes don't quit by the end of the first trimester — or even the second.
A flood of hormones is diverting all her body's resources to supporting the baby, so no matter how hard she tries to live her normal life, there's no way around the exhaustion, emotions, and nausea.
Your role is pretty simple. If she craves a food, get it. When there's food around that disgusts her, throw it out — even if it's your dinner. Those in-between-meal snacks you're supposed to avoid? Make sure she eats lots of them — it averts nausea. Press snacks on her frequently, and toss them in her bag when she's leaving. Keep any kind of ginger chews or candies, or ginger tea, accessible at all times. And remember that famous pregnancy mantra: This too shall pass.

Matrix Basketball
Formation of the Matrix
The Idea That Became the Matrix
The idea for what ultimately became the Matrix program was the 2002 sixth grade Arlington Travel tryouts for FCYBL teams. More than 35 girls showed up for tryouts, but only one team was formed. Even though his daughter did make the team, Matrix founder Jim Butler looked around the gym and thought, "I'll take the next 12 girls and form a second team" and then he set about a plan to do just that.
The initial idea was to give a larger group of Arlington girls the opportunity to play select-level basketball and the first step was to build a team to compete during the spring and summer to make a case the next fall to form an additional travel team.
The chance to create more opportunities for Arlington's girls to play select-level basketball was the major motivation to the idea that became the Matrix.

Formation of the Matrix
After spending the 2002-2003 Arlington Rec season coaching the Fiery Dragons and following up with many of those same players cut from travel tryouts in October 2002, 18 players were selected in the Spring of 2003 and the first Matrix team was formed. The team's first practices were held on outdoor courts at local parks and schools.
In a team vote, the players voted to select the name, Arlington Matrix for the team and the black and green colors from the Matrix movie were adopted as team colors.
The Matrix played .500 ball during summer league, laying the groundwork for forming a second 7th grade travel team in the fall.

We all knew it would come.
Someday. Always later.
It comes for us all. Sure.
Of course.
We know that. Someday.
But when someday draws near
for someone you love
whose silenced breath sears
your lungs with flames of grief
and sobs so immense
you wonder:
How dare the sun ascend?
The stars to shine?
Even the yeast to rise!
Who authorized the Earth to turn another inch?
Gravity itself should be suspended,
and the new moon halt in midair
with its ghostly light exposing
every predator's stare.
All words—every syllable—fail and flail about
as if comfort answers to incantation,
as if death leaves no bruise,
as if sorrow can be shhushhed away like
crows from the cornfield.
Only flesh on flesh can convey
the pledge, to shivering hands and quivering hearts,
the implausible news that dust is not the end.
Only cheek to cheek,
and mingled tears,
chase back fears
to their perditious haunt.
For the soul come undone,
let skin speak to skin, with hands'
gentle brace of countenance consumed
in doleful, woeful recoil.
The dirge will
have its day,
the sigh will have its say.
But not more, not a minute
more, than its allotted time.
For the day lies in wait
when fear will be trumped,
every tear satiated, every
mournful lament yielding the floor
to the sound of angels clogging,
feet pounding parquet
in rhythmic cadence,
whirling and twirling,
with shouts of delight
and volleys of glee
by fiddle and banjo and bass.
The Caller of that dance
has been known
to raise
the dead.
Ken Sehested, author of In the Land of the Living, is co-pastor of Circle of Mercy Congregation in Asheville, North Carolina.

Google is calling its Nexus Q the "first social streaming media player." What does that mean to the company? Well, a streaming device that looks like a futuristic cannonball, and allows you to play video and music from Google Play and YouTube. It's also controlled by your Android smartphone or tablet, so that you and your friends can all get in on it.
Read on for what to expect.
Your Phone Is The Remote
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Nexus Q isn't looking to turn your TV into a smart set. It won't ask you to browse a bunch of apps from a menu. Instead, you fire up your Android phone or tablet and interact with the Nexus Q through Google Play and YouTube.
The downside? We've only heard about Google Play and YouTube, and nowhere does it mention anything else, such as Netflix or Hulu. Also, only Android devices appear to be supported.
Slick idea, but the limited access to content is a little worrying.
That Social Thing
Nexus Q will allow you and your friends — your Android-carrying friends, that is — to get in on what's playing. You and whoever else is in your living room and connected to your Wi-Fi network can queue up music and video all day long. It looks like a seamless, super easy way to pick and choose what you're watching, though bear in mind that it funnels your through two Google services: Play and YouTube. Think of it like a Google+ hangout, just for real in your living room.
Don't want your friends to hijack your Q? This mode can also be turned off. Access to the playlist on the Nexus Q appears to be limited to the same Wi-Fi network the Q is connected to. Neat, but your mileage will very depending on how many people you know with Android phones (and how often they find themselves on your couch).
One Big Hurdle: The Price
The Nexus Q is $300. For what it's offering, that's quite a bit of money. That no doubt comes from the internals needed to crank out quality sound (Google's included a two-channel 25W amp) and manage multiple devices at once. $300, though? You'd have to stand up to change your playlist, but you may as well just buy yourself a really nice dock.
That, and Google is pushing the idea of buying a few Nexus Qs so that you can play music in different rooms. They're all networked together and you can manage all of your Nexus Q units on the fly in one place. It looks well done, but that's $300 per room.
Google is also offering a pair of Triad speakers, which you can see in the gallery below, for only $400, and $50 speaker cables tailored to "fit the unique shape of Nexus Q."

The size is exactly right, the dress is beautifully tailored. Thank you!
2015-06-05 05:09:16
Superb quality! Absolutely as described! Ordered one to see what they're like, will definitely be ordering more for my bridesmaids! Highly recommended to anyone!
2014-06-05 15:34:02
I received one of my daughters bridesmaid dresses, and I can say I was completely satisfied with the out come. so far shopping on this website have been great. I am pleased to say that I really been satisfied with everything. I had one minor set back from a prior dress that I purchase for one of my bridesmaid but it was an easy fix. Thank you for the fast respond about my concern. That made me feel that I could still rely on your web site. One more dress to go that I ordered for my oldest daughter that will be my maid of honor. and I am hoping her dress come back perfect just like my wedding dress and my two bridesmaid dresses came to me. Thank you jjshouse for everything. I have a few more things to purchase from your website and I would recommend you to everyone I no.

Beautiful dress. It came so much faster than I expected. Thank you so much for that. One question though. My straps tend to be a little longer for...does the measurement from hollow to floor affect this? Any suggestions? Thanks.
2013-06-24 07:54:00
I ordered this dress in the colour shown - fuchsia and couldn't have been more pleased, It arrived promptly and is beautiful - the material, the colour and the workmanship are all perfect. I ordered a size 10 (I weigh 9 st 13 lbs) and it fitted perfectly around the body but it was too long - I'm 5ft 5 inches and I had to have it shortened by quite a bit.
I had bought it for a Cambridge University College summer ball. I am in my late forties and expected to be outshone by all the much younger graduate women that would be there. However, it was very clear early on that this was by far the prettiest dress there and I felt like the belle of the ball.
All night people complimented me on this dress - strangers kept coming up and saying how gorgeous it was and what a beautiful colour. As I staggered across the grass at 2.30 am on my way home at the end of the night - another guest at the party - a man - walking past me, turned and said 'I hope your partner won't mind me saying this but that dress is stunning'. What a great compliment.
My partner posted pictures of us together at the ball on Facebook and we have been inundated with people saying things like 'Wow, what a gorgeous dress'. I can highly recommend it.
Thank you so much, I couldn't be more thrilled with it.

I ordered this dress for my sister who is being my maid of honour. We ordered it in Gold and the dress is stunning. It fits her perfectly (she is very tall and quite large so we couldnt find anything in local shops). The colour is absolutely gorgeous and she looks beautiful in it.
I have ordered two dresses from JJ's House now and would have absolutely no hesitation in coming back again. The delivery time was brilliant seeing these are made to order and we couldnt have been more pleased, so thank you x

Excellent experience. Ordered this dress for my daughter's bridesmaids and as this was the first time I had ordered clothing online from another country was somewhat apprehensive, however I had nothing to fear, the dress was just as specified, the sizing was spot on and the workmanship was great. Delivery was really fast and everything arrived in plenty of time. Thank you jjshouse.
2012-12-07 00:40:16
The dress was stunning I had it made all in red it was Very well made. It was hot and the price was awesome!!! This dress is great solution for any events! All my families say i am so beautiful in this dress.Thank you.
