We provide free shipping globally.
Stylior promises perfect fit guarantee. If it doesn't fit we provide free alteration, or remake for the outfits we produce.
The classic, regular collar is still up to date and worn by many men. Similar to the cutaway collars, they work out with every outfit. They can be worn with a pair of jeans or trousers for the classic and enthralling style.
Big Round
The big round collar is quite narrow and shortly cut. It reflects a chilled out personality. The edges of the collar are blunt and softened, instead of being sharp and pointed like most collars. These collars can be donned both casually and formally. They are best worn under dinner jackets, giving the kicked-back but equivalently formal look.
Button Down
The cuffs of these collars are softly rolled downwards and pressed onto the shirt. They were originally worn by polo players. Due to its origin in sports, it may seem to be the least fashionable collar. However, pairing it with the right kind of outfit can relinquish the fashion of the collar. It can be worn well with or without a tie.
The cutaway collar is a famous and preliminary collar design originating from England. You can never go wrong with cutaways. They can be worn with everything. You name it. A pair of casual jeans, a dinner suit, a breakfast suit or even a tuxedo. They are incredibly dressy and stylish when paired with formal wear.
Wide Spread
The wide spread collar is a professionally worn shirt collar. A plain, skinny tie accentuates the look of the shirt. The wide spread collar goes well with fancy or subtle dress shirts alike. Half-windsor knots go best with this type of collar.
The circular stand collar is the latest style these days. Quaint and elegant, it can be sported casually or formally, like all collars. It still looks stylish without the additional tie and has no edges on the cuff. It provides a dapper, chiselled look to each and every shirt.
We offer three fits.
SLIM FIT: This gives you an athletic and shaped fit featuring narrow sleeves, higher armholes and a slimmer cut to the body.
TAILORED FIT: A more tailored and refined fit with fitted sleeves, comfortable armholes and a shaped body.
REGULAR FIT: This is a more relaxed and comfortable fit offering fuller sleeves, deeper armholes and an eased fit to the body.
Stylior lets you choose the length of your shirt to get the perfect fit. We offer 3 lengths to match the body height.
SHORT: This will give you a length of 29.5 inches from the top of the centre back of the shirt and will cover the body length of 5ft 6in to 5 ft 8in.
REGULAR: With a length of 31.0 inches this will provide required shirt length for a body height of 5 ft 8in to 6 ft.
TALL: With an extra length of 32.5 inches this will cover the tallest body shapes who are above 6ft.
Your Information will never be shared with any third party.

Anyway, I wonder why they couldn't just use any random apostle here instead? A made-up one, or the Snake Baron or whatever
The anime project's initial goal was to animate the entire series, but obviously this hasn't panned out. These folks attempted to do Golden Age in a single movie for a reason - they wanted to get to new material.
This first episode seems to have been pieced together with the same intention. It really was a jumbled mess, thanks to the editing, and everything was moving at break neck speed. The episode shows us that Guts' brand attracks evil spirits, Guts is in constant danger, and he does not bat an eye at taking a life (but not really since he hesitates to kill Colette). We are reminded of the eclipse, shown some main characters, and get a full demonstration of Guts' arsenal and combat prowess. The story was butchered to catapault it into the next phase.
My theory - they haven't adapated the story faithfully thus far because they have no confidence in the post eclipse episodes bringing in viewers. Someone determined incarnation was the way to get the most viewers, so do whatever it takes to get us to that material.
I think it is entirely possible that we reach a point where the writers believe they have adequately set the table and are ready to present the story accurately. I could be completely wrong but I'm gonna give this project the benefit of the doubt for a few episodes before I banish it to hell.
This was honestly the most disappointing part for me.
It looks like someone has done the 1st round of fan edits for the new Berserk series all ready by editing out the op song and replacing it with "Tell me Why by Pen Pals" I can't wait for the ED song to be swapped out for "Waiting so Long by Silver Fins".
I refuse to watch this since it looks so bad but is the Hirasawa song any good? Can't find it on YouTube anywhere yet (and yet that rubbish rock song is, wtf?)
Since they already went with made up fights, it could have been at least Guts vs Baron to offer some information on apostles to casual watchers. " Oh ok, so these guys are demons and they're the main opponents for Guts. ) Instead of random possessed tree.
Miura teamed up with the wrong people.
You need to set your priorities straight... I mean it sucks that they don't portray her faithfully in the intro, but it's the lesser problem here. Her depiction (yet to come) in the actual series is what should be the real concern.
People who say wether or not this animation is good is a matter of opinion is what annoys me the most when talking about this adaptation, and no amount of actual animation and artistic flaws presented as dare I say it FACT can change the fact that to them we are whiners that should be grateful we are given anything at all. Well I'll be the first to say that sometimes less is more
If somebody profundly loves and respects the work of an artist, well, he knows that the source material is complete in itself. All the rest is either a well or badly designed tie-in product.
If they wanted to get to new material, they should have started with the Black Swordsman arc. It could have been done in one movie. Then they could have moved on to other things as they saw fit. So I think you're wrong here, and that's supported by what the director said at the time. Anyway, the team in charge of the animation isn't the same anymore so it's moot.Yeah but this misses the point of the Black Swordsman arc (which is entirely new material) playing a vital role in establishing core aspects of the story, the world, and the characters. So they'll shoehorn all that (or skip it) as they go... and for what reason?Unfortunately, it's the journey that matters, not the destination. Berserk is the story of Guts. If they have no faith in that, then they shouldn't take on the project to begin with. There's no excuse here.
I'm suggesting the episode is a cobbled mess, in large part, because they are rushing to the part of the story they want to tell - something akin to what they did with the movies. When we get to that point, maybe they will adapt it in a more faithful manner.
PS: The mindbogglingly opening is the least comprehensible piece of animation i saw in years and i have graded 2563 pieces of animated content on ANN and even more on Imdb. Was it put together by aliens? Did Japan accidentally discover Dadaism .
it's better than nothing.

Green Production Printing
A true test of our commitment to sustainability is how we help you make green printing possible. If you can reduce your own carbon footprint, participate in more bids, and win more business based on the sustainability of your facility, everybody wins.
Moving toward sustainable in-plant printing (PDF)
Ten steps to a green print shop
- Understand your environmental impacts and set goals to reduce them. Implement an environmental management system, use products with lower emissions, and use non-toxic toners and vegetable-based inks.
- Embrace print on demand. Create documents only when you need them to save warehouse space and resources, and reduce waste of obsolete materials by as much as 30%.
- Adopt latest workflow technologies. Use Xerox® FreeFlow® software to automate manual processes, manage all printing in the shop, and receive jobs and orders over the web.
- Make the most of every sheet. Print as many images as possible on a sheet of paper, make two-sided prints and copies in your office, and use scan to email instead of faxing.
- Utilise soft proofing. Deliver soft-proofs to clients via email or the web to reduce paper use, save phone, courier and postage charges, reduce environmental impact of sending paper by air or ground transportation, and enable faster turn-around.
- Know where your paper comes from and recycle the paper you use. Seek environmentally preferable papers such as FSC-certified papers, and recycled content papers. Install bins around your shop to collect paper and unused prints for recycling or reuse.
Reduce energy use. Upgrade to more-efficient equipment, power equipment down when not in use, and replace stand-alone office products with MFPs that use up to half of the energy.
Xerox production equipment ›
Xerox office multifunction printers ›
Use good waste prevention and management practices. Recycle toner cartridges and bottles, reduce usage of hazardous wastes, and select reusable or recyclable packaging as needed.
Recycle Xerox Supplies ›
- Seek equipment designed for remanufacturing or recycling. Xerox devices are designed with recycling and reuse in mind.
- Ensure you are working with environmentally responsible suppliers. Ask your suppliers what they are doing to reduce their environmental impact.

Early last fall, my husband and I were driving into Washington after visiting family in Virginia. Our two small boys were in the back seat, already lulled to sleep after hours of playing with cousins. "You take Sam, I'll get Jonah," I sort of absent-mindedly whispered to Steven, making our car-to-bed getaway plans. I looked back, and the boys' cheeks were glowing with the soft green light from the dashboard, both kids cozy in their coats, safe with their mom sitting right there in front of them.
It dawned on me then: I remember being them so very clearly. I remember hearing my mother's voice in the front seat: "I'll get the key and open the house." Even though I couldn't open my eyes, so tired from an evening of fun with cousins, I could picture her turtleneck, clip-on earrings and glasses reflecting the light from the dashboard.
My mom's life and mine have finally dovetailed. Now, a mother of a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old, I truly understand her.
But this was also the first year I had to live without her.
I'm a late-30s woman who has lost her mother. A mom who made it just past the age of 70, who actually got to meet and be a big part of all four of her grandchildren's lives. That's not tragic. That's a life well lived. So who am I to feel alone, utterly sad, as if no one has ever gone through this?
There's just something about moms, particularly when one becomes a mom herself.
This cancer thing had gone on so long, I felt as if the past eight years held a thundercloud of fear for me. What was I afraid of, exactly? I discovered this year — the year I had been dreading since her cancer was diagnosed — that without her I could be a mother, an employee, a daughter to my father and a wife to my husband just fine without her advice. But I couldn't phone and tell her that Sam created a backyard fort today with his friend Claire out of garden stakes and the baseball blanket she had made him.
Shortly after Steven and I got married, I got a call from my dad. I was looking out the upstairs window of our newly purchased Adams Morgan house, sitting on the new blue quilt on our bed. "Your mother has breast cancer," my dad said.
I started to ask questions: Has it spread? How big is the tumor? Radiation? Chemo? "Helen, she's asking questions," my dad said. She took the phone from him. Clearly, he had called instead of her because he thought it would be easier on her. But Mom was the one with the answers.
After a year or so of surgery, radiation, chemo and all the things that go with breast cancer, her doctor said she could take a break from treatment. And then Sam was born.
She was there in the first hours after he arrived. And she was back a week later, soothing him to sleep with every song in her endless songbook, telling me to get up and out of the house, walk around a little to push those baby blues out of the way.
Two months after that, I was sitting on that same bed, same quilt, looking out that same window onto the same pretty trees. The cancer had spread to her liver. "I just wanted to see my grandchildren grow up," she cried to me.
That was the last time she really got that upset to me about her lot in life. And that was the first time I couldn't breathe.
How could my life be my life without her? How could it be possible my children would grow up without this creative former art teacher, whose entire mission was to pamper and teach and guide those grandchildren?
My parents are optimists, and they love(d) life as everyone wishes he could. They never asked how long Mom had, because they were living every day as fully as they could anyway. So they traveled, biked, continued volunteer work, visited friends and family.
For metastatic breast cancer, particularly the kind that spreads to the soft organs, the survival rate is not long-term. My parents may not have asked, but Steven and I did. "Six months to three years," the second-opinion doctor said. I never told my parents.
In 2009, Jonah was born during a snowstorm. Just a week and a half later, Mom and Dad made it here from Pittsburgh. I have pictures of my mom, the lady with metastatic breast cancer, years of chemo and a little fuzz of hair, up to her thighs in the snow, helping Sam make snow angels and paint Christmas cookies as we were getting acquainted with our newborn. I was frazzled and sometimes unbearably sad about her life ending. She was calm and, well, living.
Mostly, she was mother/grandma. She always feared giving advice, afraid my brother or I would get annoyed. I sometimes teased her for her guidance. She would say one thing, and I'd exaggerate it to make it sound as ridiculous as possible. It was clear she thought we were too strict with the "no sweets" rule with Sam. "If he had more sweets, he wouldn't act so crazy every time he had a cookie," she said once. That turned into "Mom thinks we need to feed Sam more sugar to make him normal."
As things got worse toward the end of 2011, I visited almost every weekend, usually leaving my boys at home with Steven because Mom was too sick to be around them, and so I could focus on her.
The things that were so everyday for "the rest" of the world began to make my knees buckle. One of the last weeks before Christmas, I took her to her multitude of appointments. In one waiting room, we pored over an issue of This Old House and dog-eared the many things we thought I should do if Steven and I ever remodeled. She would never see my house again.
We laughed as we snuck that magazine out of the office. I still have it next to my bed.
Just a couple of weeks after that day, one we spent often in tears from laughing so much, we moved my mother into a hospice house.
Her last real role as my mom was during the final moments of our lives together. It was about five days into the hospice stay — and just like the length of her cancer, this had lasted much longer than any doctors expected. She wasn't mentally with us anymore, agonizing noises coming from her mouth. My dad had told me that night that I had to go home to my own small boys the next day. "Who knows how long this will go on," he said. "You need to go tomorrow."
And so that Saturday night, around 10, I sat with my incoherent mom, my face just wet.
"I don't know what to do, Mom," I whispered. "Dad told me I have to go. And I don't want to leave you, but the boys need me. I don't know what to do."
My dad and I left. As I was about to crawl into bed, the phone rang. I grabbed it before he could, knowing it would be the wonderful nurse at the hospice house. She had done her rounds a few minutes ago. Mom was gone.
It was her final, selfless parenting act. I think she didn't want me to have to make the decision about whether to stay or go, so she made it for me, and helped me go be a mom to my own boys.
So here's the thing. The funeral happened. The year happened. And I survived. I'm still a mom, a wife, a daughter, sister, friend, employee. I can't get on the phone with my mom every day. She wasn't here to help me make the boys' Halloween costumes this year. We didn't have our summer beach walks or our annual Christmas shopping trip, and I can't ask her for advice that I will later taunt her with.
In the end, as she always did, I lived. And although this year without her has been hard and sad and missing something big, it has still happened.
When I started thinking about writing about losing my mom, I thought I would be able to fill pages with what exactly has been lost. But it sort of comes down to one thing that my wise 3-year-old said recently, when he didn't want me to leave his room after a prolonged bath-books-bed routine.

Tesla Motors Inc. provided a bit more detail Wednesday about its future plans, including selling $1.6 billion worth of debt to fund its mass-market "Gen III"electric car and its much-anticipated "Gigafactory".
Tesla /quotes/zigman/118681/delayed /quotes/nls/tsla TSLA said in a regulatory filing it was evaluating sites between 500 and 1,000 acres in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas where it can build its massive battery manufacturing facility.
The factory could cost as much as $5 billion, and aims to open in 2017. It would reach full capacity by 2020, providing battery packs to about 500,000 cars a year.
"The Gigafactory is designed to reduce cell costs much faster than the status quo and, by 2020, produce more lithium ion batteries annually than were produced worldwide in 2013," Tesla said in a blog post that followed the filing.
Shares of Tesla ended 2% higher Wednesday at a record $253, advancing another 1% in after-hours trade. Tesla has gained 21% so far this week, fueled for the most part by speculation surrounding the Gigafactory and how it could open the way for the company to be in the power storage business.
The new batteries produced there would drive down battery production costs by an estimated 30% and power Tesla's third-generation electric cars, expected to be on the road in 2017.
In a separate filing, the company said it will sell $1.6 billion worth of convertible senior notes due in 2019 and 2021 to fund its latest projects.
The electric car maker would use the net proceeds "to accelerate the growth of our business in the U.S. and internationally, for the development and production of the Gen III mass market vehicle, the development of the Tesla Gigafactory and other general corporate purposes," according to the filing.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina can recover about $54,000 of its $3.5 million costs for a lawsuit defending the state's voter identification law.
A court on Wednesday ordered the federal government to pay the state for that amount of its legal expenses.
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson sued last year after the U.S. Department of Justice rejected the state's law requiring voters to show specific photo identification at the polls. The Justice Department said the law violated part of the federal Voting Rights Act, which protects minority voters.
A panel of federal judges upheld the law in October. Most of the suit's $3.5 million price tag comes from attorneys' fees, but the law doesn't allow South Carolina to ask the government to pay those bills.

CNBC Article: 10 Mega-Trends for 2013 from Mindshare North America
Predictions are always precarious business. A left-field hit to the economy can throw forecasts into disarray while a scandal, new technology, or a new idea can push trends into unforeseen directions.
Despite this, there are a lot of likelihoods for 2013. The economy is expected to grow more robustly than it has recently, Washington politics notwithstanding. New technology releases, such as better Smart TVs, will most likely change consumer behavior. Some long-term demographic shifts, such as nationwide differences when people get married and have children, will hit tipping points.
Mindshare North America conducted a major study on the top 10 cultural trends for 2013. Check out the exclusive CNBC slideshow featuring Mindshare's 10 Mega Trends here

by Lou Mancinelli
After she fell in the basement of the old Sears Roebuck Company on Roosevelt Boulevard that had flooded with two inches of rainwater, she could not sit down in the car without screaming from the pain. She had to sit on her knees, facing the rear windshield in order to be able to travel home in the car with her husband.
It was 1973, and Judy Dobbs, 61, now a resident of East Mt. Airy for the past 15 years, was then 23 and teaching English as a second language in the Philadelphia School District, when she began experiencing an excruciating shooting pain in her coccyx, or tailbone.
Her husband at the time had to carry her down the stairs in order to get Dobbs to the chiropractor the next day. She was screaming in pain. The chiropractor could not help her. She next went to a doctor of osteopathic medicine, who prescribed her painkillers like Codeine. That only worsened her condition.
A week later, she saw an ad in the paper for May Post, a reflexologist. That's when, Dobbs, raised in Medford Lakes, N.J., remembered something from her junior year in college at Lock Haven University. While she was home on break, she had wrist pain. Her mother had just taken a reflexology session. She tried what she remembered about the technique on her daughter. When her mother got to her heel, and pressed deep, Dobbs "felt an implosion come up her legs, down her arm and into her wrist." The pain was gone.
So she decided to go see May Post. What did she have to lose? She could not sit or stand. This is paralysis, she thought. Her husband carried her into the car. She sat on her knees, facing the back windshield.
At the appointment, when Post got to working on her ankle, Dobbs' heard a pop. The pain melted, and she was able to walk out of the office of her own accord.
Two years later, Dobbs enrolled in a class taught by May Post through the International Institute of Reflexology. Since then, she has practiced the art of healing through reflexology. Over the years she has worked with people struggling with troubles as common as anxiety, or back and shoulder pain, to paraplegics. She has worked with people who had loud ringing in the ears that they were able to heal. She has helped individuals who suffered from a loss of balance reestablish their sense of level ground. At present, she practices in Center City, Bucks County and her home.
This November, Dobbs will teach Introduction to Reflexology at the Mt. Airy Learning Tree. Dobbs has taught the course for 11 years. It meets twice Nov. 7 and 14 for a two-hour session each time at the Blair Christian Academy, 220 W. Upsal St. At the course, Dobbs instructs her students how to perform the technique on themselves.
Reflexology. You may recognize the term, or perhaps you are more familiar with the multi-colored foot maps. If you were to take a stroll down Race or Arch Street in Philadelphia's Chinatown, you might see a poster of the bottom of feet hanging in a shop window. On that poster, different parts of the feet have lines pointing to them, much like a drawing that names the bones of a skeleton. A Google search will reveal numerous images.
The different colors on those maps refer to what reflexologists call reflex points. In the practice of reflexology, a holistic therapeutic medical treatment, with unclear origins that supposedly date back to ancient China, and pre-date acupuncture, those reference points are said to correspond with body parts.
"Each part of the hand and foot corresponds to a different part of the body," Dobbs said. Parts of our head and neck correspond with the bottom of the toes. Below the toes, before the incurve of the foot, if you are working from toe to heel, is the area that corresponds to our lungs.
"I use their feet and their hands as a remote control into their body," Dobbs said about working with her clients.
By applying and releasing compression to specific points, and learning a sequence of movements along those points, lymphatic matter can be released, and circulation improved, according to Dobbs. Common issues like anxiety, headache, back and muscle pain are said to be relieved, and a physiological equilibrium restored.
She explained it like this: if you are watering a flower garden and someone jumps up and down on the hose behind you, the water-flow starts and stops. The same is true of reflexology. When you press, release and press the hands and feet again, its send vibrations through your veins and nerves. The vibrations help to heal your body.
Sometimes, patients feel better after one session, Dobbs said. Others need more. In her class, Dobbs wants to help students learn how to rid themselves of headaches and anxiety, shoulder and neck pain. She wants to teach them to breathe better and/or improve personal health issues.

It all happened very organically. When Olibjorn Stephensen, the Icelandic co-owner of New York's esteemed natural wine hub The Ten Bells, wanted to open a new restaurant, it was second nature to ask his friend and wine buyer Philippe "Fifi" Essome to curate the list. In August, his spot Skál opened up in Chinatown, with Scandinavian-influenced dishes created by Ben Spiegel, a young chef he charmed out of Willows Inn at Lummi Island in Washington, who has also worked at Noma in Denmark.
The restaurant's light and briny food has delighted both Lower East Siders and Icelandic natives, but after three months the team reworked its menu and unique wine offerings this week. We caught up with general manager Stephen McClure and co-owner Christophe O. about changes to wine list.
What are the challenges serving natural wines in a restaurant?
Christophe: People go to restaurants to have their dish that they love. For some, wine is the same way. We have some regulars already, and they drink exactly the same wine. But with natural wine, the wine maker has a small quantity. If we run out, we won't get it until the next season. Working with The Ten Bells, we have to fight with them about having more cases. People get attached, so we have to have some regular wines.
Stephen: Especially for the white wine list, we won't see what is here beyond the next two months. These will go away pretty quickly. The production level of many of them is so low that they just won't be available. It's exciting because we get to sit here and find new things all the time.
If you're out of a wine, how do you get your customers to try new things?
Christophe: Some people already know what they want and it's very difficult to convince them to try something else, but generally people want to try. We're a new place with new dishes, and it's very easy for us to get them to try something different. When you smile at them, you can change anything.
Stephen: It's not the habitual smile or Christophe's charisma. I think every person here is passionate about what's either on the dinner menu or the wine list. That carries through in a really understated way. Approaching a table, then, is the easy part in the whole scenario. People want to experience what is in front of them or what's being proposed. But also new product renews the staff's palate and passion. There's always something new to be tried and feel good about. We have a very loyal neighborhood customer base and they also want to see new things as well as get attached to some things, but it renews a dialogue between us and the customers.
What are the changes the wine list is going through?
Stephen: The first wines Fifi set us up with – some were tough and required some hand holding. We're wine savvy, but at the same I didn't want our servers to have to spend so much time walking a customer through them. I'm enthusiastic about continuing with minimal intervention wines. With a list like this, that is not dumbed down like many restaurants, it's not just Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay. You really have the opportunity to put something in front of someone that is extraordinary and blow their mind.
Christophe: We want to keep a variety of appellations and grapes, so there is a reason for customers to come back. Fifi goes twice a year to France to choose wines, and imports wines from small producers. They're specially imported for him and for The Ten Bells. We tried to have a little bit of wine from everywhere, but sixty percent of the wines were from France.
"Skal" is Icelandic for "to toast." How does the Icelandic theme fit into all of this?
Stephen: Ben does a great job giving a nod to the traditional Icelandic fare but it's his translation and the menu is his. There are a lot preserved things. Lots of seafood, which speaks to the cuisine, but at the same time it's fresh and out of the ordinary. It requires a finesse of language to not burst our customers' attachment to the Icelandic theme. But at the same time, when we walk them through the menu, whether they've grown up there or recently visited, they're drawn to it. He's amazingly creative.
Christophe: When we get people from Iceland, they recognize the surroundings. They feel at home.
Stephen: The living room atmosphere, modeled after Olibjorn's intention of an Icelandic fishing village, is so indicative of what we actually experience behind the scenes here.
Christophe: With the drinks, we really wanted to do something different. There's not a lot of organic wine from Scandinavia. We're trying to do some infusions with Reyka vodka to get some flavor from Iceland. We don't have aquavit, because all of the places have aquavit.
What's on the horizon for Skal?
Christophe: In the future we're doing a special cocktail every week, with one of the infusions from our bartenders. We're thinking beets, bacon, roasted pear and roasted apricot in Icelandic vodka.
Stephen: We're also implementing happy hour wines. It's a Muscadet ($7), which is traditional, and a Monastrell ($7), which is organic. These are more food friendly – they're definitely more suitable for month three of where we're at with the menu as it has evolved. There's more fish on the menu and more lighter bodied red wines. Natural wines mean a lot to us, but there were some gaps in the list that forced us to look at more traditional wines. The chardonnay that we started with wasn't what people were really looking for. For us, it was a great wine but if you have to get through half a glass before you decide you don't like it, that's no good from a customer perspective.
We're trying to keep it affordable price point wise for this neighborhood, but at the same time be appealing to people who see this as a destination. If I have a need for $100 bottle of wine, I don't want it to be seen as everyday drinking wine. It's hard. We're moving away from what were really esoteric, or more difficult wines. When someone orders it, it requires so much, "It is, but it lacks this." When a server has to start speaking in the negative, all is lost.
Stephen McClure has worked as the cellar manager and dining room manager at Inn at Langley on Whidbey Island in Washington. Prior to that he owned a small wine shop on Vashon Island, southwest of Seattle. Christophe O. has worked at Les Enfants Terribles and Ten Bells. For more information, go to Skal's website.

October 17, 2007
All that's left now is the party! Wabash is set to honor its faculty's work.
As part of the 175th Anniversary Celebration of Wabash College, the Lilly Library will host "A Celebration of Faculty: 175 Years of Creativity, Research, and Scholarship". The opening reception will be Thursday, October 18 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Drinks and light hors d'oevres will be served and musical entertainment will fill the air as Wabash kicks off an event that honors our past and present faculty's commitment to excellence in works beyond the classroom.
The idea for the celebration was born out of a comment by Dean of the College Gary Phillips regarding how impressed he was by the passion of the faculty for research, scholarship, and creativity outside of their "normal" classroom work. The faculty continuously engaged throughout campus and even the community.
College Librarian John Lamborn said the event is a great way for the library to get involved in the 175th Anniversary of the College without putting an extra burden on the already busy faculty. He sees it as "an opportunity to elevate awareness of the depth and breadth of the expertise of all of the past and present faculty of Wabash College."
The display will consist of four main areas: written work, artistic work, a multi-media presentation and a continuous PowerPoint movie. Much of the display will be open until the middle of February.
Each of the current faculty members had the opportunity to submit one article that best describes his or her work. Those articles will all be on display along with many of the books current and former faculty have published. Along with the written work there will also be faculty historical and contemporary.
Lamborn said the process of gathering all the pieces for the display from articles to books, to art and musical compositions was exciting. "It served to further confirm my impression that the faculty at Wabash are so talented. We are excited to have the opportunity to showcase that to our students, the faculty and staff, the trustees and the community."
The opening reception is free and the entire Wabash community is encouraged to attend.

You may not have wanted a fight on your hands but now you've got one! Climbs on soapbox and starts tirade! Your comment " Training a MT to be a Histo Tech is like trying to train a policeman to be a fireman" rather sticks in the craw, and I would like to follow with a counter comment, "Can a Histo Tech be trained to be a fireman?" as anyone can be shown how to connect a hose to a hydrant and point it at the flames. Granted, Histopatholgy is very much a "hands on" profession, requiring fine manual dexterity and concentration, but it's no better than operating a high output Biochemistry/ Haematology analyser or cross-matching a pint of blood, where a wrong result can kill a patient. Plus you operate under a fraction of the stress we are subjected to - try working for a full day, and then doing another 13 hours of call out duty, and then you are expected to report for normal duty next day! It's a gross insult to insinuate that ours is a "job" while yours is a "career". As students, we spent 5 - 6 months working in every division that was available in the lab - Chempath, Haem, Parasitology, Micro, Cyto, Immunology, Human genetics, blood transfusion, and yes, even Histopath. When we passed our finals, we were allowed to choose which discipline we wanted to further our careers, and each year, without fail, the majority would choose anything but Histopath, as it was considered a boring "dead end division" (Yes, pun intended). As for management positions, if you can run a Chempath or Micro Dept, then you can run a Histopath Dept, as the same managerial systems apply, regardless of the discipline, it's just the practical applications of the work in hand that differ. Histopathology is just one of the services in the medical world, you don't walk on water, and neither do we. As far as I am concerned, once trained as a general Med Tech, you can be trained in virtually any other discipline, unless you are like "two left thumbs" me, who after 35 years on the bench, still cannot cut a half decent section or make a passable blood smear. (But I am good as a manager!) End of tirade - climbs off soapbox, puts on helmet, and climbs into bunker, to await the verbal barrage that's about to be unleashed................ Mr.M.Kirby Johannesburg South Africa -----Original Message----- From: histonet-bounces <@t> lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-bounces <@t> lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Orr, Rebecca Sent: 17 March 2006 17:04 To: histonet <@t> lists.utsouthwestern.edu Cc: Delk, Linda Subject: [Histonet] Training Med Techs Hello everyone. I would appreciate any feedback from those of you who may have had to train MT's (ASCP) to work in Histology. They would be trained as histo techs with the intent to promote them into Anatomic Pathology (Histology) management positions. Candid comments welcome, especially from MT's who now work in histology! To me it would be like trying to train a policeman to be a fireman, it's a career, not a job, right? We see a HT shortage in the Chicago area, but I am unsure how to address this. Degreed individuals have proven critical thinking skills via a traditional education pathway, so I see the advantages, but to ignore very capable HT managers with proven management and organizational skills via non traditional pathways is becoming an issue with me. I mean it's not like Non degreed HT's are stooopid or something.

UPDATE: Utu resigns as utility chief in Northern Marianas
American Samoa native and former territorial senator, Utu Abe Malae has confirmed that he resigned as executive director of the Commonwealth Utility Corporation (CUC), the government owned utility provider in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
The Saipan Tribune newspaper reported yesterday that Utu had resigned and CNMI Gov. Benigno Fitial has accepted the resignation. In a statement, Fitial cited four reasons for believing that "a change in leadership is necessary," including not seeing "evidence of aggressive action to seek out viable alternative energy sources [that] would provide cheap power."
Responding to Samoa News inquiries, Utu confirmed the resignation and June 25th (Thursday, American Samoa time), is his last day as the CUC boss, the post he has held since the latter part of 2009, after he stepped down as Saole senator that same year. He was asked by the CNMI government to come help turn around its then failing CUC.
Asked about his future plans, Utu said via e-mail from Saipan, "[I'll] take a long break and then work again."
Last year, Utu announced via teleconferencing to supporters of his intention to be a candidate in this year's governor's race and he planned to step down as CUC boss at the end of March 2012. However, he issued a statement in early March this year saying that he would remain with CUC.
Early this week, Fitial issued an emergency order for CUC, and the emergency declaration effectively suspends regulations and allows the reprogramming of funds to address cash, procurement, and hiring crises, according to news media. CUC was first placed under emergency status on August 2008 and finally lifted it in March last year. The emergency order means the CUC is under the Fitial administration's jurisdiction.
Saipan Tribune reports Fitial saying this week that CUC is owed over $8 million by the cash-strapped central government, the Public School System and Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation. Additionally, CUC is also owed over $4 million by residential users and is facing $2.6 million in accounts payable to vendors.
Asked for the reasons he resigned, Utu told Samoa News, "We are being scapegoated for the high cost of fuel and the insolvency of the central government. It is easier to go after the outsider rather than try to fix the structural failings of government and leadership."
"Fortunately, the Emergency Order was issued just in time to allow us to act quickly," he said, but didn't elaborate further. (He also provided a side note: Of all the US states and territories, CNMI has the second highest per capita number of attorneys after Washington, D.C.)
Asked about his overall review of the years at the helm of CUC, the former boss of the American Samoa Power Authority said:
• Improvements in Customer Service ("I used to dread calling my own office from the outside"), power reliability and quality, meeting Stipulated Orders without getting fined by the US EPA, more reliable and increased coverage (90%) of 24/7 water on Saipan;
• reduction in energy intensity of water & waste water;
• major strengthening of the main power plant that was once given up for dead;
• huge improvements in wastewater treatment; and
• improved engineering and re-engineering.
He also spoke about the difference between American Samoa and the CNMI — both U.S. territories, although located on different sides of the vast Pacific Ocean — as well as the CUS workers, who he will miss.
"It is unfortunate that American Samoa and the CNMI are so far apart geographically," he said. "It would be great for the people of both territories to learn from one another and the two are so similar, yet far apart."
"CNMI has a tumultuous history and American Samoa is relatively quiet. American Samoa is in a protected enclave, CNMI the westernmost outpost of the empire, next to Hadrian's wall so to speak," he points out.
"The indigenous people of the CNMI are kind and gentle — take care of their elders just like we do. My workers are even tempered and reliable and they are what I will miss the most," he added.

The sale of million dollar homes in Silver Lake is not uncommon. In fact, more than 20 homes fetched a million dollars or more in 2011 even as the real estate market struggled to emerge from a years long slump. But the Silver Lake million-dollar home market seems to have gotten off to a strong start this year, with five homes selling in excess of a million in the month of March alone (it would have been six but one sale came in at $995,000), according to Redfin (click on link below for a chart). The completed sales ranged from a $1.23 million contemporary flip on Lindsay Lane to a traditional, 2-bedroom home on Micheltorena Street that sold for $1.475 million. Some properties sold for under asking and took months to sell while others sat on the market for only a few weeks before being snapped up. What's going on?
Real estate agents speak of a relatively low number of homes available for sale in the choice areas that surround the Silver Lake reservoirs and fall within the Ivanhoe Elementary attendance area. "Good housing inventory is hard to come by in Silver Lake, and buyers will pay a premium for a home that meets their criteria," said agent Matt Morgus.
Agent Tracy Do* notes that only one of the million dollar homes sold in March was outside of the attendance area of Ivanhoe, which servers the northern end of Silver Lake. She also notes that the inventory of homes for sale is the lowest it has been since about 2007. "Buyers are thirsty for homes that are ready to move into, like the home on Dillon Street, which was not within the Ivanhoe School district but has larger square footage and was recently renovated," she said.
Where is a buyer to go when they are priced out of north Silver Lake? Do is recommending her buyers look into Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Glassell Park, Mt. Washington, and Montecito Heights.

On Thursday of last week the retail-tracking firm, the NPD Group, released its estimates of new U.S. physical retail video game sales for the month of September 2011. With EA Sports' Madden NFL 12 pushed into the September retail calendar, and the release of Microsoft and Epic's Gears of War 3, it was no surprise that software sales were up 3% compared to last year.
However, that modest growth was outweighed by 9% and 14% declines in the hardware and accessory segment revenue, leaving the retail video game industry down by a full 4% relative to September 2010.
Below we will break down the figures into a bit more detail, including a detailed examination of console hardware sales in terms of both units and average prices. We also look into some specifics of the software segment, including a three-year view of the changing share of software dollars among the leading consoles.
Finally, we look beyond retail and into the NPD Group's Games Industry: Total Consumer Spend report, which attempts to produce a more comprehensive view of consumer spending on video game content from a variety of outlets. We express some skepticism and ask some questions about the report's figures, and get a response directly from the president of the NPD's Games Group, David McQuillan.
After an extremely disappointing July and August, it was refreshing to see some positive figures in the September report. In particular, software revenue was up $18 million over September 2010, an increase of approximately 2.9%. Software units were up an even healthier 4.4% to 14.5 million units, although the average price of the software sold did drop by 1.6%.
To put those software figures in context of the weak summer months: software revenue increased 90% from August to September, on a weekly average basis, while software units increased 30% and software prices jumped 37%.
We estimate that hardware unit sales were around 1.55 million units for the month, a modest drop from the 1.62 million in September of last year.
A year ago Sony launched its PlayStation Move system for the PS3, and it is possible that some of the decline in the accessory segment this year stems from a comparison to that launch.
Below are the key revenue figures for September 2011, according to the NPD Group's report.
The NPD Group highlights to the media that the data above represent physical retail revenue figures, and that there are separate estimates for video game content sold through other means. They are providing quarterly estimates of those extra-retail sales, including mobile games, downloadable content, and casual games, along with other segments.
We examine the latest of those quarterly estimates, with some historical context and comments from the NPD Group itself, in the final segment of this article.

ReleasesBack to
Wayne Shorter
As Lee Morgan's career moved from hard and post-bop to soul-jazz, Delightfulee serves as a further bridge in a half-and-half fashion. Four of the seven cuts feature his potent quintet with a young and emerging tenor saxophonist, Joe Henderson, as his front line mate, McCoy Tyner ever brilliant on piano, and Billy Higgins firing up the rhythm as only the drummer could. The remainder of the date consists of tracks orchestrated by Oliver Nelson featuring an 11-piece ensemble. There are two selections that feature versions of compositions with both configurations. "Zambia" is a post-bop classic in Morgan's repertoire, sporting a memorable, concise, no-nonsense melody line punctuated by Tyner's piano chords, but in big-band style, it is full and rich, maybe too much so. The easy, deep waltz "Delightful Deggie," may benefit from the orchestration. Wayne Shorter is the featured tenor on the larger group tracks, while saxophonists Danny Bank and Phil Woods (both doubling on flute, a rarity for Woods),trombonist Tom McIntosh, tuba player Don Butterfield,and French Horn icon James Buffington supply the depth. The drummer for the big-and cuts is Philly Joe Jones, and again, is quite a contrast to the smoother Higgins. Of the small ensemble cuts, the fun calypso boogaloo "Ca-Lee-So" is a postscript for Morgan's big hit "The Sidewinder," recorded three years prior. Tyner strokes out kinetic forms during "Nite Flite," and dips into deep blues for "Deggie." Morgan and Henderson's solos are always spot on. The best big-band track, "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof, is extremely hip and features a relaxed Shorter, while the worst, a somber samba take on the Beatles' "Yesterday," seems a throwaway. For some this will always be an oddball release of Morgan's, but it does suggest moving on into what would be a fruitful and successful final five years. ~ Michael G. Nastos

Chevrolet can trace its origins back to 1911, when it was founded as the Chevrolet Motor Car Company by Louis Chevrolet and his partner, William C. Durant. Chevrolet was a Swedish racecar driver and Durant had founded General Motors two years earlier before eventually being ousted by the company.
Chevrolet History
Durant had worked with Chevrolet previously when he had been hired to race cars at promotional events for GM. Louis Chevrolet was largely responsible for the concept of many of early cars produced by Chevrolet. He later sold his shares of Chevrolet Motor Car Company as early as 1915. Soon after, Durant made the company enormously successful that by 1918 Durant had regained control of GM and turned Chevrolet into its most successful division.
Chevrolet Through The Years
The Standard Six was an affordable six-cylinder model that was introduced to the American market in 1933 and was one of the best-selling vehicles Chevrolet produced. Chevrolet really gained massive popularity in the U.S. following the second World War. In the 1950s, Chevy released the versatile and extremely popular Bel Air, one of the best-selling postwar vehicles to offer features like power windows, power brakes, and air conditioning. The Bel Air was available in four different body styles: coupe, sedan, convertible, and wagon.
Then, in 1953, Chevrolet released the Corvette, a car that went on to become a true icon. The Corvette was the first car to be made of a fiberglass body giving the muscle car a muscular and stylish American take on the classic European roadster.
At the start of the 1960s, Chevrolet unveiled the Corvair compact. The Corvair had a air-cooled rear-mounted engine and was also the first domestic car produced to feature an all-around independent suspension. In 1967, Chevy introduced another iconic sports car in the Camaro, which was designed to be the company's answer to the Ford Mustang.
During the gasoline crises of the 1970s, Chevrolet began producing more compact vehicles such as the Vega and Chevette. Larger models such as the Caprice and Malibu were downsized to achieve better fuel economy as well.
Chevrolet Models
Currently, Chevrolet features a number of models like the Sonic, Aveo, Cruze, Malibu, Camaro, Corvette, and Volt.
Both the contemporary Corvette and the Camaro are revitalized versions of the classic American sports cars from the 1950s and 1960s. The Malibu is also a modern version of a classic Chevy that debuted back in 1964. The Volt is an all-new hybrid vehicle.
Chevrolet currently commands a large segment of the truck market through vehicles like the Colorado, Silverado, and Avalanche. SUVs include the Tahoe and the even bigger Suburban. Chevrolet also produces crossover vehicles such as the Equinox and Traverse.
Chevrolet Products and Technologies
Chevrolet built its success on a number of key factors. It always offered technology that might otherwise be reserved for higher-priced cars in its regular lineup. The company was also one of the first to standardize many one-time luxury features we now take for granted. Some examples include anti-lock brakes, safety glass, fuel injection, and stability control systems. Chevrolet also made a practice of producing affordable cars that offer good performance. The company's durable four-cylinder, V-6, and V-8 engines are known for being strong, reliable, and long lasting.
Chevrolet continues to innovate by producing vehicles like the Volt, a plug in hybrid that was rated by the Environmental Protection Agency as the most fuel-efficient compact on the U.S. market.
Chevrolet's Silverado pickup truck also remains enormously popular today. Originally released back in 1998, the full-size pickup truck is available in both standard and hybrid models.
The Chevrolet Tahoe is a full-size SUV and is available in hybrid and luxury configurations.
Chevrolet boasts a product line that's well rounded and offers a variety of vehicles for all manner of drivers. While the company may not command the same market share it once did, drivers recognize the Chevrolet brand as one of the first names in the American auto industry. The continuing popularity of revamped classics like the Camaro, Corvette, and Malibu is a testament to the legacy of style, performance, and reliability people have come to associate with Chevrolet over the more than 100 years since it was first founded.

Difference between revisions of "Georgina Ellis"
|Line 16:
|Line 16:
Revision as of 13:13, 22 March 2011
Georgina Ellis, also known as Gina Ellis and Gina Clarke, is a fanzine editor and artist from Canada.
Georgina Ellis began publishing fanzines and producing fan art in the late 1950s in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
One of her early fanzines was called Mimi, published in the early 1950s as a member of Canadian Amateur Fan Publishers. It included an article by Harry Calneck, and her won on-stencil artwork. In 1955 she began publishing Wendigo.
Harry Warner, Jr., writing about the 1950s, said; "In Calgary, the most notable fan was Georgina Clarke, famous far and wide for her fanzines".
She was known as the "Dutch Ellis" at this time. In 1965 she married Norm Clarke, and together they moved to Aylmer, Quebec, where they began to release fanzines together, such as Honque, and Queebshots with co-editor Boyd Raeburn, a series of unrelated one shots unified by the title alone. They both remained active in the Fantasy Amateur Press Association into the 1970s, releasing their zine Descant up until that time. She, her husband and Boyd Raeburn were also members of the APA, Lilapa.
Gina Ellis began writing for Terry Carr's Lighthouse, in whose pages she was referred to as the "Duchess of Canadian Fandom". In the mid 1970s, Susan Wood concocted a mock feud in the pages of Energumen when she decided to usurp Gina's title and elevated Gina to "Grand Duchess". She had met Boyd Raeburn who told her he didn't know where Gina had got the nickname, but assured Susan that Gina wouldn't mind. Susan later paid homage to Raeburn, Ellis and Clark's Queebshots, by releasing a Queebshot of her own.
During the time she was married, Georgina used the name 'Gina Clarke' but after Norm Clark died she resumed using her original name.
In February of 1979, Gina Ellis was scheduled to be a guest at the convention Wiscon 3.

Reusing the former LIRR Queens Rockaway Beach Line (RBL) for transportation is the best plan. It will reunite north and south Queens and decrease travel times and increase investments for everyone, especially the poor and middle-class areas that are underserved, excluded and separated from the American dream.
The QueensWay plan and the No Way QueensWay plans are exclusive and divide our borough. It also prevents development and investments in Queens. We need jobs and businesses for all the people so we can grow and help each other.
The QueensWay plan sounds good on the surface, but it will only benefit a few people and a small area of Queens. It's the small plan while the transportation plan is the big plan, the most inclusive plan.
The reactivation of the RBL will expand the transit system, increase social and economic opportunities, and increase property values and tax revenues. As a rail line, the RBL will increase transit options, including faster travel times to work, home, school, shopping, recreation, dining, family visits, and doctor visits.
The RBL will decrease pollution, accidents, unemployment, crime and government dependence, reduce present and future overcrowding and unreliable buses, trains and roadways at a much, much greater level than the QueensWay plan.

That's because we believe so strongly that a combination of regular breast screenings and self exams are one of the best ways that women can safeguard their health and their future.
April 9, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
April 10, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

555 Knowles Ave., Suite 100, Los Gatos, CA
Mammograms will be scheduled every 20 minutes.
Registration is required. Call 800-216-5556.
This free screening is focused on women 40 and above that are uninsured or underserved as well as those who have not yet had their fi rst mammogram. The event is sponsored by the El Camino Hospital Foundation through a donation from the Santa Clara Sporting Club soccer team whose fund raising efforts in memory of a soccer player's mom have made this event possible. Additional funding is provided by The Women's Hospital at El Camino Hospital, Imaging Services at El Camino Hospital and Silicon Valley Diagnostic Imaging group.

Blake Shelton, Scotty McCreery + More to Perform at 2012 CMA Music Fest
The Country Music Association just announced a few additions to the lineup for the 2012 CMA Music Festival. The most recently added talents slated to take the big stage at the Tennessee Titans' LP Field include Blake Shelton, Scotty McCreery, Dierks Bentley, Alan Jackson and Brantley Gilbert. This year's biggest night in country music will be taking over Nashville from June 7 through June 10.
These big name crooners are just the icing on the cake, however. As we previously reported, several other hot country acts will be making appearances during the festival, including the Band Perry, Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Lady Antebellum, Faith Hill, Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood and Zac Brown Band.
Even with the addition of the five country males today, the lineup isn't complete. The CMA will continue to unroll names of stars who will be offering up performances at the star-studded event. And while that may seem like a huge number of artists, it only makes sense when you consider the fact that Nashville is expecting 60,000 people to descend upon Music City for the summer festival, hoping to catch their favorite celebs in concert, get autographs and simply enjoy the party-packed event.
Tickets for CMA Fest are available online, with prices ranging from $125 to $325 plus handling fees. Perhaps one of the best aspects of buying a ticket, however, is the fact that 50 percent of the net proceeds from the event go toward supporting the Keep the Music Playing program. If you don't have tickets yet, Taste of Country and EMI are giving you the chance to win a trip to see Alan Jackson perform live at CMA Fest. The contest ends on April 3 at 5PM ET, so be sure to enter soon.

Rod & Custom Americruise Sunday Coverage
Since the last time we talked to you, we paid a visit to Speedway Motors on the other side of Lincoln, where Speedy Bill and Joyce Smith hosted a Saturday night ice cream party and threw open the doors of the Smith Collection Museum. That place is amazing, and Americruise participants toured room after room loaded with automotive and racing memorabilia collected by Speedy Bill for more than 50 years. He's got everything from one-of-a-kind factory developmental engines to race cars, and a huge collection of antique automotive toys going back to the early 20th century.
Back at State Fair Park the participants are taking advantage of the chance to hook their engine to the dynomometer at the Dyno Challenge-where the dynamometer doesn't lie.
One thing we like about Americruise is the fact that the competition isn't limited to the hot rods and custom cars. We're talking about the Miss Americruise Contest held at the Main Stage right after lunch, which always draws a crowd. After all, a guy can't look at hot rods and custom cars all the time, can he?
Today's the day we start passing out the crate-load of trophies we brought to award participants in more than 50 categories. We've awards in all the favorite classes, such as Best Roadster, Best Coupe, Best Sedan, Paint & Graphics, Engine, and Interior, in addition to some fun show 'n' shine classes like Best Work In Progressive, Youngest Participant, and Best Personalized License Plate.
Of course, the two prizes we've been waiting to give away are Rod of the Year and Custom of the Year. We had a lot of fun putting the ten finalists through some challenging competition this weekend, but when the numbers were finally crunched, one rod and one custom stood ahead of the rest.
Rod & Custom's 2006 Rod of the Year is Jim Karls' 1932 Ford Highboy Roadster. Rod & Custom's 2006 Custom of the Year is Gary Kuck's 1960 Corvette. Look for an up close feature on each of these incredible cars in a future issue of R&C.
Thanks to everybody who made the trip to Lincoln for making the Rod & Custom Americruise return trip a huge success. We'll have a report on the East Coast and West Coast Americruise tours, and more coverage from Lincoln, in the January 2007 issue of R&C.
