University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis student-athlete Jenna Nurik (Roswell, Ga.) was named Freshman of the Year by the Southern Conference today. Nurik played the No. 1 singles spot for the Lady Mocs throughout the season, posting a 21-9 overall record.
Nurik start her collegiate career with a strong 7-1 mark in tournament action during the fall. She continued that in the spring with a 14-8 record in dual matches. She went 5-5 in the SoCon and had a six-match winning streak at one point during the spring.
With a 19-11 overall record, Nurik was nearly as impressive in doubles action. She was 8-1 in the fall with sophomore teammate Emily Hangstefer, but played the last two months of the spring with sophomore Shaina Singh. The duo posted a 9-5 overall tally and 5-4 in SoCon matches. They were 6-3 in the No. 2 position.
In addition to being named Freshman of the Year, Nurik also earned first team All-SoCon honors and was a member of the SoCon All-Freshman squad. Nurik is the first Lady Moc to earn SoCon Freshman of the Year since Cynthia Oulevay took home the honors in 2001. Nurik is also the first UTC women's tennis player to earn first-team All-SoCon recognition since Anastasia Zhukova in 2007.
"I am proud of Jenna for her Southern Conference honors" stated head coach Jeff Clark. "Through hard work and a commitment to her teammates, she improved as a singles and doubles player throughout the season. Most importantly, Jenna exhibited great sportsmanship and represented her university, her team, and her family in a first-class manner."
Chattanooga finished the season with a 9-13 overall record. The Lady Mocs were eighth in the SoCon with a 3-7 league mark. It was the most conference wins in a season for UTC since going 6-4 in 2004. The Lady Mocs lose just one senior, Beata Knizat, who saw significant action in 2009-10 and return the rest of their lineup for next season.
Nurik is a native of Roswell, Ga., and was on the Dean's List during the 2009 fall semester. She was also one of 24 Mocs to post a 4.0 grade-point-average last semester. Although currently undecided, she plans to major in Business.

The owner of 2,500 apartment units faced substantial losses in the face of Superstorm Sandy when their previous broker failed to advise them of a rent abatement waiting period on their existing business income policy.
Unaware of the three-day waiting period, the owner forgave the rent of all tenants who experienced a power outage during that time due to the storm, expecting to be reimbursed for the lost income. Unfortunately, the policy's stipulated waiting period eliminated the reimbursement at significant cost to the property owner.
Now their broker of record, SterlingRisk, not only obtained the additional business income coverage but was able to negotiate with the incumbent underwriter at renewal to obtain this coverage with no change in premium.
We hired SterlingRisk very late in the renewal process at the end of last year. The team at Sterling was able to quickly understand our Company's needs and meet the nearly impossible timeline for renewal.
We hired SterlingRisk very late in the renewal process at the end of last year. The team at Sterling was able to quickly understand our Company's needs and meet the nearly impossible timeline for renewal. During the process, they took the time to educate us on potential shortfalls in our former policy's coverage levels and ultimately provided us with a very competitive premium with unbeatable financing. In the few months that followed, Sterling has helped us resolve some open indemnification agreements with a few of our customers and provided training to our documents team responsible for ensuring our vendors are within our newly defined insurance compliance requirements.

Our in-depth review of the insurance coverage of a broker-dealer owned by another company revealed significant gaps that could have cost the client thousands in losses.
While the broker-dealer was insured by the parent company (which is in a different line of business), the coverage did not properly insure them for trading activity. In the event of a loss, the existing insurance may not have answered many of the broker's professional exposures. The program SterlingRisk recommended and was subsequently contracted to place does. We now are the insurance broker for all of the investment firm's professional liability coverage, including their directors and officers, cyber threats and errors & omissions policies.
I have had the pleasure of working with the SterlingRisk Benefits team for many years, and I have had only good experiences.
With my huge workload, I can't tell you how many hours your team has saved me so that I can concentrate on doing other things that need to be done. Every benefits meeting, enrollment process, unexpected problems and, of course, the annual Census are all handled quickly and efficiently. I attribute that to the fine work of your Benefits Department.
I commend the hardworking professionals at SterlingRisk who have made my job at Scotto Brothers much easier.

Due to an unfortunate accident our company helicopter was badly damaged by a hard landing and roll over on uneven terrain.
Due to an unfortunate accident our company helicopter was badly damaged by a hard landing and roll over on uneven terrain. Though the aircraft was repairable, the known cost to overhaul and the time required to complete the repair would cause an economic hardship to the company. Paradise Helicopters determined that it would be more beneficial to the company to have the aircraft declared a constructive total loss. SterlingRisk understood our concerns and negotiated a settlement using the extra expenses coverage for a rental helicopter as a means to calculate the total expected claim. The insurer agreed with SterlingRisk and paid the total loss claim less the fair market salvage value. This allowed our company to continue to improve the fleet and reduce the long term loss that would have been generated by a lengthy repair effort. SterlingRisk took the time to understand the economic position of the company, as well as the increased costs that would be pushed to the insurer, which helped negotiate a more positive settlement for both the insurer and our company.

SterlingRisk is my "go-to" environmental insurance broker.
"I am an environmental attorney who has worked with Howard Tollin since 2001 on transactions involving over 200 properties. Howard's prior background as an environmental attorney, along with his innovative thinking and knowledge of the markets, makes him an irreplaceable partner for my clients and me. Indeed, we have worked closely together manuscripting and negotiating numerous endorsements to enhance coverage that subsequently became part of many carriers' standard forms. We have also worked together to protect clients' interests in obtaining reasonable claim recoveries. SterlingRisks' approach significantly reduces the time I need to spend, which makes obtaining environmental insurance much more cost effective for our clients."

SterlingRisk has been with us since our firm's early days, servicing our professional liability needs as our firm has grown.
The company has helped us to navigate the complex liability risks we've faced as we've taken on high-profile cases such as the injury claims of the rescue and recovery workers of the September 11, 2001 attacks. SterlingRisk has been both a source of knowledge and a safety net, answering any questions or concerns we've had, while making sure we're protected with the right coverage in place.
Paul J. Napoli, Senior Partner
Napoli Bern & Associates LLP
The SterlingRisk team has been innovative as well as proactive and has become our trusted advisor with respect to all of our risk management needs.
Our initial contact with SterlingRisk began with an analysis of our directors' and officers' exposures and coverages. The analysis outlined numerous deficiencies in coverages that they advised could be rectified. Upon providing them a broker of record letter for these coverages, SterlingRisk provided us with enhanced coverages and higher limits, which our prior broker said was unavailable.
The relationship has since grown with SterlingRisk providing improved risk management solutions with respect to our property and casualty exposures as well as our benefits and student accident coverages.

Ken Davies, a classical composer and trombone player, was about seven miles from the Gulf Coast when the storm came in. He boarded up his home and personal studio and gathered up his valuable equipment, such as computers, keyboards and his trombone. He didn't expect any major damage to happen.
"In our case, there was no reason to expect any kind of water damage unless the wind blew the roof off or something," he said. "Since it was a hurricane not a tornado, we weren't expecting anything of that magnitude. We were expecting maybe a tree blowing against the house, but the last thing we were expecting was water. We had boarded up our house and made it as secure as we could."
But water did flood in, a mixture of salt water from the ocean, rain water and swamp water from the bayou that was only a block away from his home. "From the standpoint of instruments, some of the things on my rack were low enough to get touched by the water," said Davies. "To make the story fairly short, 20-to 30-foot waves hit the Gulf Coast from Alabama to Louisiana. It took out blocks of buildings pretty much across the board. We're talking about people's houses, where they were left with nothing but slab, and all of their possessions floated away somewhere."
When it came time to collect insurance on his damaged equipment and software, Davies found MusicPro easy to deal with and very helpful. "They were wonderful people to work with," he said. "It was quick and easy. It seemed as though a lot of the people involved had a good grasp of instruments and a good grasp of electronic equipment."
Davies says that if he didn't have MusicPro, he would have been "miserable" because he wouldn't have been able to rebuild his personal studio as quickly as he did. With the insurance money, he was able to get back on track making and recording music within a few months!

When SterlingRisk was first referred to us, we allowed them to perform a complimentary review of our insurance program. Upon their review, they exposed a serious void in our insurance program.
Our current broker was unaware of the issue, and after exposing the void, the broker was unable to fix the problem without a substantial financial penalty to my company. Robert Trinagel, Senior Vice President of SterlingRisk, was able to structure a program that not only eliminated the exposure, but it resulted in a premium reduction as well. Robert has gained our complete support as our insurance advocate. Now they not only represent us on our property, casualty and workers' comp lines, we've engaged their affiliated TPA services and are thrilled with the service they provide as well. Sterling has become one of our most trusted business advisors.

I have had the pleasure of working with SterlingRisk's employee benefits department since 2007 when I took over the role of controller at ADE Systems.
Right from the beginning, the team has been a source of expert information, guidance through changing policies and a trusted advocate when negotiating new or continued benefits. The level of customer service is superb. We look forward to continuing our relationship with SterlingRisk in the future.

If your romance is going really well, you might consider taking in the off-Broadway musical revue, "The Wonderful Wizard of Song: The Music of Harold Arlen." On Valentine's Day (February 14th at 8 p.m.), you can get married onstage during the performance. The theater will provide a group wedding photo, a champagne toast after the show for your entire wedding party, and a commemorative certificate documenting your wedding. The show will also provide two official witnesses. The cast, made up of three male crooners (George Gubatti, Marcus Goldhaber and Joe Shepherd) and a terrific female singer (Antoinette Henry), perform the songs of one of America's great composers, Harold Arlen, who wrote "Over the Rainbow" and other songs from "The Wizard of Oz," "Stormy Weather," "Come Rain or Come Shine," "Paper Moon," "Accentuate-The-Positive," "Lets Fall in Love," "The Man Who Got Away" and many other standards. The show is playing at St. Luke's Theatre (308 West 46th St.; 212- 246-8140). The cost for the wedding couple is $350 (for two). Wedding guests pay the regular ticket price of $69.50. "The Wonderful Wizard of Song" is worth seeing even if you don't want to make a lifelong commitment.
Last year, a new club opened, 54 Below (254 W 54th St.; 646-476-3551), featuring top-flight Broadway and cabaret performers. I haven't been there but the two new CDs recorded at the venue, Patti LuPone's "Far Away Places" and Norbert Leo Butz's "Memories and Mayhem" (on Broadway Records) confirm that the music is on a high level.
LuPone's CD not only evokes exotic places but pays tribute, either expressly or implicitly, to singers she admires: Edith Piaf ("Hymn to Love" and "I Regret Nothing," which she somehow transforms to "I Regret Everything") and Billie Holiday ("Travelin' Light" and "I Cover the Waterfront"). She reminisces about New York during the 1970's (when the city was bankrupt and Times Square was seedy) and then segues into a piercing rendition of "The Ballad of Pirate Jenny." LuPone tells a funny story about making a movie in Sicily, the land of her ancestors, where she feels at home when seeing the noses on the men and the mustaches on the women. Somehow the anecdote leads to "I Wanna Be Around (to Pick Up the Pieces When Somebody Breaks Your Heart)." After a British inflected "By the Sea" (from "Sweeney Todd"), LuPone exclaims, "I can do accents … like Meryl." Her comic flair comes through again on Cole Porter's "Come to the Supermarket in Old Peking." She shows off her soulful side with "Night Life."
LuPone was the first act at 54 Below and she is returning for Valentine's Week (2/12-16); the chef is Andre J. Marrero and dinners are served every night before the show. There is a special prix-fixe dinner on Valentine's Day (2/14). The title of LuPone's new show is "Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda… (played that part)" and will include songs from "Hair," "Bye Bye Birdie," "Funny Girl," "West Side Story," "Kiss Me Kate" and "Peter Pan," among others.
Norbert Leo Butz's "Memories and Mayhem" is both reflective and self-mocking. He speaks about his career but also his personal life: his two marriages and three daughters. The songs start with a rocking rendition of Marc Broussard's "Home." "The Way Young Lovers Do" even outdoes Van Morrison's original recording. Butz delivers a mesmerizing version of Kurt Elling's setting of Theodore Roethke's "The Waking," performed with a bass accompaniment. "If These Walls Could Talk" and "Killing the Blues" are equally potent. He performs two songs from his past shows, albeit with a twist: Robert Jason Brown's "I Could Be in Love With Someone Like You" is from "The Last Five Years" (in which Butz originally starred) but was cut from the show when it reached off-Broadway and David Yazbek's "Great Big Stuff" from "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" (for which Butz received the first of his two Tony Awards), which is mixed with the coal-mining song "Sixteen Tons." "Georgia on my Mind" is dedicated to his 18 month-old daughter and Alicia Keys' "No One" to his older daughters. The talented Lauren Kennedy joins him for a duet of "Poison and Wine." I eagerly look forward to further releases in Broadway Records' 54 Below series.
For stay at home listening, there is no new release more romantic than Robert Cuccioli's "The Look of Love." The Broadway musical star has a firm baritone and takes care to convey the meaning of each lyric. He selects songs from the 1930's and 1940's that chart the many moods of a relationship, from "A Fine Romance" and "Our Love is Here to Stay" to a "Cold, Cold Heart" and the "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and finally "Nice 'n' Easy," "How Do You Keep the Music Playing" and "All the Way Home." The title track is not the Bacharach/David song with the same title but the one by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy van Heusen, who wrote a number of songs for Frank Sinatra. In fact, a number of the pieces on the album were recorded by the Chairman of the Board, including "Witchcraft," "Once Upon a Time" "Prisoner of Love" and "Too Close for Comfort." Recorded with an expert quartet, arranged by Barry Levitt (keyboard player and co-producer of the album), Cuccioli places his own mark on the familiar material. He is currently playing the villain (Dr. Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin) in "Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark." Cuccioli became famous in a dual role in another Broadway musical: "Jekyll & Hyde."
If you're in the mood for a romantic tenor, the obvious choice is Art Garfunkel. Columbia/Legacy recently issued "The Singer: Art Garfunkel," a double-CD compilation selected by the singer himself with liner notes containing his own comments on each piece. The collection includes some of his unforgettable work with Paul Simon as well as his ethereal performances of new songs and earlier classics, such as "What A Wonderful World" (with Simon and James Taylor) and "Two Sleepy People" (without the humor of Fats Waller's version). For a sad love story, the set includes a stirring version of "Barbara Allen."
For female singers, pick up "Destiny's Child –Love Songs" (on Columbia/Legacy). The compilation contains the track, "Nuclear" (the first new recording by the group in eight years). Certainly, the opening song, "Cater 2U" will feed anyone's fantasies. The photos of the glamorous stars are another plus.

Contemporary Painting Practices Residencies with Jean Cheoruny<< New text box >>
Jean Cherouny is a painter and an art educator. Jean has shown her paintings in galleries in Vermont and Connecticut, Texas and the Czech Republic most recently. Her paintings are in collections in the US and Europe. Jean's abstract expressions in paint are powerful, dynamic gestures using line, shape and colors in a direct painting process on her canvas. Her love for the arts began with her art classes as a child amidst other fellow explorers. Her art and her teaching of abstract painting will bring children to understand and express themselves personally and poetically.
She teaches painting, drawing, roller printmaking to all ages and abilities in diverse populations. Jean works with interdisciplinary themes using the schools' curriculum to paint the folklore and inspired contemporary representations seen in cultures around the world such as: China, Africa, Argentina, Iraq, India, Alaska, Australia,France and Untited States. Each painting or series of abstract paintings will reference one theme studied in the classroom curriculum ie math, science and literary themes.
Residencies with Jean have students discover rich textures and colors in paint using invented tools, integrate painting with natural and recycled material into a piece. Work will be discussed and documented for display with the piece or pieces. All participants will enjoy the personal and group explorations connecting them to the Contemporary Process that Jean has created using objects and paint. All people improve their quality of living by participating in a powerful visual arts experience. It is going to be a great honor working with your school community!
Murals made can be moveable displayed at a location in the school's town or district or painted on site.
"invent in your own language if you can or want to hear mine; invent if you can or want to give my language to be understood" Jacques Derrida (1930—2004)
At the Art House in Middlebury's Marble Works,Jean discusses her rollerblade painting process with Middlebury College Students. More
One way to paint is to loose yourself with the paint. New tools like skates and her are the instuments to see the paint from a different perspective. It is just one way to think of applying paint to the canvas using the floor to push into the surface with your moving legs. As she works Jean is reminded of her days ski racing and using her legs to take her where she wants to go. Now her art provides her with a new journey into the contemporary art world.
Skated Textures
Her energy with paint creates subtle textures. Each painting may bring for the viewer an invigorateing sensation to the soul. This is a result of her constant relation to nature around her in her Vermont Home. Moving paint directly under her feet is a process which is propelled by Jean's physicality and subconscious relationship to the colors used all over the surface resulting in textures of woven color and light.

The Walls of Sparta
Pewter Spartan Shield Pendant
The Spartans were the greatest warrior society in history. They knew duty and discipline like no others. They left leisure and luxury to lesser men. The Spartan city state had no walls and needed none; the battle-hardened men with spears and shields were 'The Walls of Sparta'.
From the cradle to the grave, they lived by their own iron code, and desired nothing less than a glorious death against a worthy foe. The merciless forging of a Spartan began at birth. A newborn deemed unfit for the rigors of Spartan life would be left to the wolves or thrown from a cliff to be dashed on the rocks below. This early death was deemed a mercy, as the weak could not survive the challenges that lay ahead.
At seven years of age, the Spartan boy left home to begin the long journey to become a Spartan soldier...a physical and moral paragon. The Agoge (military school) was designed to deliver the brutal hardships and training needed to create a supreme warrior; not all boys emerged as living men. A warrior who survived 13 brutal years in the Agoge was able to withstand the most demanding rigors of combat, would fight in a single, fearless unit, and was lethally skilled with sword, shield, and spear. After ten years of honorable service, the soldier became a full citizen, able to marry, vote, and hold office. Any still living that failed the trials of the Agoge were denied Spartan citizenship and destined to the life of a lesser man. In Sparta, earned merit was the great equalizer and only thing of true value.
The Spartan army inspired fear and obedience throughout the ancient world. Even a whisper that the Spartan army would enter a conflict was enough to soften the resolve of the hardest enemy. Victory never stalked far behind the unbreakable Spartan phalanx, a wall of spears and shields that took incredible discipline to maintain. The Spartans held fast and fought as a single unit, no matter what the odds. Time and time again an overwhelming number of enemies shattered against the shining wall of death. The odds were of little concern to those who knew no fear and only wanted a chance for a glorious death.
Of all the valors that crowned the Spartans, it is the glorious last stand of King Leonidas that has echoed throughout history. As a Spartan King he was "the first in the march and the last to retreat." The tale continues to be told, century after century, proving that a brave and righteous warrior is granted immortality through his deeds.
The 300 Spartans stood at Thermopylae against the Persian King Xerxes and, legend has it, a million of his warriors. Showing true Laconic wit, when the Persian army demanded that the Spartans surrender their weapons, Leonidas responded,
"MOLON LABE!" - "Come and take them!"
The Spartans knew it was better to die grasping a bloody sword than to live a long life in shameful defeat.
At the Thermopylae battle site a monument is inscribed with these words of a duty done:
Stranger! To Sparta say, her faithful band
Here lie in death, remembering her command.
Proudly made in the USA and Canada. Guaranteed for life.
Our highly-detailed pendant captures the battle-worn, arrow-pierced Spartan shield with the fearless words "MOLON LABE!" upon it, as if cut in with swords. The pendant is cast in lead-free pewter and is 1" x 1" and about two quarters thick (0.14"). It is strung with an 18-inch black leather cord (2-mm thick) or whatever length you request. The lobster-style stainless steel clasp is the easiest one to use that we could find; we wear what we make. Each pendant comes in a black velvet pouch and includes a poem card insert.

Value-Added Taxes:
Lessons Learned from Other Countries on Compliance Risks, Administrative Costs, Compliance Burden, and Transition
GAO-08-566: Published: Apr 4, 2008. Publicly Released: May 5, 2008.

Dissatisfaction with the federal tax system has led to a debate about U.S. tax reform, including proposals for a national consumption tax. One type of proposed consumption tax is a value-added tax (VAT), widely used around the world. A VAT is levied on the difference between a business's sales and its purchases of goods and services. Typically, a business calculates the tax due on its sales, subtracts a credit for taxes paid on its purchases, and remits the difference to the government. While the economic and distributional effects of a U.S. VAT type tax have been studied, GAO was asked to identify the lessons learned from other countries' experiences in administering a VAT. This report describes (1) how VAT design choices, such as exemptions and enforcement mechanisms, have affected compliance, administrative costs, and compliance burden; (2) how countries with federal systems administer a VAT; and (3) how countries that recently transitioned to a VAT implemented the new tax. GAO selected five countries to study--Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom--that provided a range of VAT designs from relatively simple to more complex with multiple exemptions and tax rates. The study countries also included some with federal systems and some that recently implemented a VAT. GAO does not make any recommendations in this report.
Like other tax systems, even a simple VAT--one that exempts few goods or services--has compliance risks and, largely as a consequence, generates administrative costs and compliance burden. For example, all of the study countries reported that they devoted significant enforcement resources to addressing compliance. Businesses whose taxable purchases exceed their taxable sales are entitled to a refund under a VAT, which makes VATs vulnerable to fraudsters creating phony invoices in order to falsely claim refunds. Also, similar to other taxes, adding complexity through exemptions of some goods or services and reduced tax rates generally decreases revenue and increases compliance risks because of the incentive to misclassify purchases and sales. Such complexity also increases the record-keeping burden on businesses and increases the government resources devoted to enforcement. Canada's experience administering a national VAT along with a variety of provincial VATs and sales taxes demonstrates that multiple arrangements in a federal system are feasible, but increase administrative costs and compliance challenges for both the governments and businesses. Businesses, particularly retailers, in provinces with a sales tax face greater compliance burdens than those in other provinces because they are subject to dual reporting, filing, and remittance requirements. Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, all with relatively new VATs, built on preexisting consumption tax administrative structures to implement the new tax. Nevertheless, they devoted considerable resources to educate, assist, and register businesses and implementation took from 15 to 24 months. Both Australia and Canada provided monetary assistance to qualifying small businesses to help meet new bookkeeping and reporting requirements. Despite their efforts, Australia and Canada had some difficulty getting businesses to register for the VAT by the implementation date.

Symptoms of Coeliac Disease Generates a Gluten-Free Lifestyle
Even though a gluten allergy might be hard to identify and diagnose, if you exercise perseverance you as well as your doc will finally discover purpose for your diet as well as your wellness.
Within this article I desire to provide you a little more hope and enthusiasm with your new wheat free existence. Nowadays it's both easier as well as more interesting to adjust to a wheat-free lifestyle.
So where do coeliac disease symptoms begin? These kind of coeliac disease symptoms are triggered with a peptids aggregate known as gluten. Gluten enables the certain texture in baked goods because it pins pockets of air. Gluten provides bread its snap and assists to maintain baked goods from collapsing and falling apart. It is also utilized to rapidly thicken varied sauces.
As a matter of fact, it seems that each passing year reveals more clear and accommodating tagging in super markets. Sometimes manufacturers furnish this improved labeling and sometimes the food market companies are contributing to better labeling in their stores. Either way, it's getting easier all the time.
When you determine that you need to adapt to a gluten intolerance diet you must adjust your life-style, not just your food habits. Fortunately, more and more info is obtainable regarding how to enjoy life gluten-free. You'll likewise find quite a few new gluten intolerance friendly groceries and more helpful labels from producers.
To start, everyone with gluten intolerance should become familiar with certain gluten-free staples to keep on hand. These are ingredients which might be substituted for the common gluten-containing flours to make more adequate wheat-free formulas for you and your loved ones.
Substituting gluten-free flours alone will not replace these lost attributes. When using a wheat-free flour mix a wheat gluten alternative ought to be included in the mix to imitate the attributes of real gluten. Two popular gluten substitutes are guar gum and xanthum gum. These can often be discovered online or in a gourmet or organic grocery store.
It is also wise to keep a quality flour blend and gluten substitute easily available to you. A wheat-free flour mixture consists of a mix of gluten-free flours. You may want to attempt a few to find the gluten-free flour mix you enjoy best. Then when you are prepared to bake just add a wheat alternative to the blend and you're ready to bake. Symptoms of coeliac disease don't have to worry your family anymore.

Peter Pan: >>I prefer the shorts. And I'm sure the actors do as well. I'm not all that interested in seeing a guy run around in JUST those form-fitting tights. Other places sure, maybe. But Disneyland? Let's keep it kid-friendly.<<
That ridiculous. It's a matter of smart costuming, which this is not. They could wear a speedo or dance belt or tight box trunk under the tights (or over) and if the jerkin is designed properly, modesty is not an issue at all - - and certainly any shorts should match the tights, not the overshirt - - but the shorts are the same color as the shirt/jerkin - and baggy yet - which destroys the design/leaf pattern and makes Peter look like he has "poopy pants" to boot.
Really bad costuming.
>>As for the colors, yah they're borderline neon green. But I find that makes it easier to spot the characters in a big crowd.<<
Completely wrong colors.
I would have to say I am not a tinkerbelle fan period, but that is on all of the woman's clothing and accessory merchandise. I do not get the whole allure of Winnie the Pooh, the only I remotely like is Tigger or Eyeore.
Anything from Pocahontas (well, I don't mind the girl so much, she's pretty), Hunchback, Home on the Range, Emperor's New Groove, Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, Atlantis, Chicken Little or Meet the Robinsons, or anything from the Disney Channel or ABC that doesn't have to do with Walt Disney and anything from toy product lines that isn't in a Walt Disney movie.

Lufkin man pleads guilty to killing 13-foot, 800 pound alligator
By Carol Christian | October 23, 2013 | Updated: October 23, 2013 4:53pm

Photo By Kathy Adams ClarkAmerican alligators are fast, agile, and usually afraid of humans.
Brazos Bend State Park is renowned for its wildlife viewing opportunities; it remains a particularly a good place to see American Alligators.

Photo By Kathy Adams ClarkAlligators are among the animals that find a safe haven in the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge.
A Lufkin man has pleaded guilty to killing an alligator out of season by shooting it from a boat, U.S. Attorney John M. Bales announced Wednesday in Beaumont.
According to information presented in court, Michael Wayne Scoggin, 38, shot and killed a 13-foot American alligator on April 8, 2011.
Using a .22-caliber rifle, Scoggin shot the approximately 800-pound creature from a canoe on the Neches River in Trinity County, Bales' office stated in a news release.
It is a violation of Texas law to kill an alligator in Trinity County any time except Sept. 10 to Sept. 30, the release stated. It's also illegal in Texas to shoot an alligator from a boat in public water.
The federal Endangered Species Act lists alligators as threatened and prohibits the taking of any threatened species of fish or wildlife in violation of any federal or state regulation.
After killing the alligator, Scoggin tied it to the outside of the canoe and towed it to his truck for transport to a Grapeland taxidermy shop, where he paid about $1,500 to have the skull and hide tanned and preserved, the release said.
The skull, hide and rifle were recovered by federal and state law enforcement officers in March 2012, the release said.
Photos of Scoggin and others with the dead alligator were posted at a local sporting goods store and online.
A sentencing date hasn't been set for Scoggin, who faces up to one year in federal prison and a $100,000 fine.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Office of Law Enforcement in Houston and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Criminal Investigations Division.
It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph R. Batte.

You don't want the disc mounted if you're going to play audio though.
(I somehow doubt that's happening, though -- unless the audio CD also
contains data, which some do. Check the output of "mount" to make
sure, of course!)

IIRC, CD drives are often connected to the sound card via a little cable
within the PC itself, so that all the CPU has to do is tell the CD player
"Play", and the audio comes in as a Line to the sound card.
First off, make sure your systems' mixers are set up so that the CD audio
isn't muted, and is up loud enough. (You'd see it in the mixer along with
a Mic input, as well as sound output and probably L/R balance and other

Can you tell which application you're using to play CDs? (There's probably a
"Help->About" that would tell you and app's official name and version.)
(I personally use Kscd under KDE at home.)
Can you provide the exact error message?
> Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?
> Do I need to create a /dev node?
Not if you can rip (as you mentioned above), and if you can mount data
CDs (e.g., "mount /media/crom"). Check the contents of /etc/fstab to see
what device your system thinks the CD drive is (e.g., "/dev/hdc",
"/dev/cdrom0", etc.)
Then it might be good to make sure the CD player is looking at the same
device node...

That's probably for playing audio data that's been literally ripped off
the disc. I don't have player handy in front of me (and have been using
Kmplayer and Kaffeine under KDE lately, since they actually have GUI controls
and stuff), but I remember for playing a DVD video with Mplayer, you
do something like:
mplayer dvd://
Perhaps to get it to play audio from a CD you can do:
mplayer cd://
Of course, getting a good new-fashioned GUI working with it first is probably
a good idea. Mplayer's got more command-line switches than all other
Linux command-line tools combined![*]
Good luck!

NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa Zach McCabe and Josh Oglesby often are paired in shooting drills because of their perimeter prowess.
Both put on a display Thursday night in their Prime Time League semifinal. McCabe knocked down five 3-pointers, but Oglesby hit six to pace his team to a 109-85 win.
Afterward, the Iowa teammates were asked who'd win in a 3-point shooting contest. Both claimed a fictional victory over the other.
"I'm making more of mine than I was before ... obviously Josh is killing it today," McCabe said. "I'd say if it was today, it would be him. Probably any other day it would be me. I think he should know that for sure."
Before Oglesby was asked the question, McCabe chimed in.
"Tell them who'd win?" McCabe said.
"What?" Oglesby replied.
"Tell them who'd win a 3-point contest?
"Me and Zach?" Oglesby asked rhetorically. "Me. ... I'm just kidding."
There's a healthy, competitive respect between the players who now are upperclassmen. McCabe, a senior, is the prototypical inside-outside swing forward. At 6-foot-7, he can bang inside, yet step out and hit a 3-pointer. Oglesby, a 6-foot-5 junior, is known for his outside touch. But that precision left him a year ago when he fell into a shooting slump that lasted most of the season.
Josh Oglesby. (Cliff Jette/The Gazette-KCRG TV9)
Oglesby since has worked on tweaking his game despite breaking his right pinkie finger in a May workout.
"I think the biggest thing is just getting my shot off quicker," he said. "Coming off screens ready to shoot. Last year I wasn't ready to come off a screen and shoot. I wasn't ready to shoot. I think the big thing this year is trying to get to the hole a little bit more and get a mid-range jumper and get to the free-throw line and kind of get into the flow the of the game besides shooting up a 3 right away. If I miss that, my confidence goes down."
Confidence is critical for a streak shooter, and Oglesby admits his waned last year. He often had good looks, but the shots didn't fall. At Wisconsin with the score tied and only 1 second remain, Oglesby had a perfect look. The ball was halfway through the rim before it rattled out.
That play was reminiscent of Oglesby's season. He shot only 27.4 percent from the floor and 26.9 percent from 3-point range. It shocked both Oglesby and his teammates because they had witnessed him nail eight, nine, sometimes 10 in a row in practice.
"Funny thing is when he's on, you kind of just know Coach (Fran) McCaffery thinks, 'Get Josh the ball,'" McCabe said. "He can just make whatever. That's how he is in practice."
But falling out of rhythm caused Oglesby to press. At times he was even paranoid.
"A lot of times I felt (the defender) was right behind me, but I still had time to get my shot off," Oglesby said.
For the rest of summer, Oglesby plans to keep getting stronger, shoot pullup jumpers off the dribble and build his confidence. Getting in a long-range shoot-off with a teammate like McCabe can only help to build upon that.

Viking junior catcher/outfielder Savannah McMillin's walk-off single late Wednesday helped Valley City State sweep Mayville State, 3-1 and 2-1, in a North Star doubleheader at Shelly Ellig Field.
"We had to learn to be patiently aggressive — that was the word of the day," Viking senior third base Liz Hall Sewell said. "We needed to play solid defense, and once we got on base we came through. For two freshman pitchers to come in, it really showed their mound presence."
Freshman right-handers Ashley Metcalf and Morgan Nalley picked up complete-game wins.
Viking baseball and Jamestown's Tuesday doubleheader at neutral Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn. featured a 14-6 slugfest and a 3-0 pitcher's duel, from both of which the Jimmies came away the victors.

Jamestown 14, VCSU 6
Having weathered several early-season delays since returning from their Tucson, Ariz. Spring Trip, Viking softball kicked off their conference-season-opening doubleheader against the Jimmies Tuesday in the confines of Shelly Ellig Field.
Viking pitching persisted but Jamestown came away with the sweep, taking the first contest 4-1 and the second 3-2 in eight-inning fashion.

Valley City State Track & Field opened the outdoor season at University of Wisconsin-La Crosse on Saturday, from which sophomore Jessica Meland emerged with a school-record, 12th-place Hammer Throw toss of 44.85m (147 feet, 2 inches) that beat her former teammate, Amber Volanti, who set the old record in 2012.
Meland wasn't the only hammer thrower to have a great day: freshmen Mary Roscoe (29.79m; 97 feet, 9 inches) and Kate Roscoe (29.64m; 93 feet, 11 inches) find themselves on the Viking All-Time Performance List after respective sixth- and seventh-place finishes.
Friday's Eastern Dakota Conference Indoor Championships at North Dakota State were a promising display of Hi-Liner athleticism.
"Setting 12 new personal records at the EDC Indoor was a reputable way to end the indoor season," Hi-Liner head coach Trevor Bakalar said.
"Bekah Peterson had another good meet and continues to look strong as we move to our outdoor season. Bekah placed fifth in her first 400m run of the season and set a new personal record with a time of 1:08.22. In the Triple Jump her distance of 31 feet, 3.5 inches placed her seventh."

Lusaka — The Namibian women's basketball team lost all its matches and ended last out of four countries in the 2012 Zone VI Games, in Lusaka, Zambia on Sunday.
The countries that participated in the women's basketball competition were Namibia, South Africa, hosts Zambia and Angola. In their last game on Friday against Angola, Namibia lost 12-133.
Angola won all its matches during the women's basketball competition, and easily finished as winners of the competition. Angola beat Zambia 79-17 in the final match on Saturday, while the silver medal went to South Africa and Zambia finished in 3rd place to collect the bronze medal.
Team Angola collected a total of six gold, five silver and three bronze medals to finish 7th overall out of the 12 participating countries at the Under-20 Youth Games.

MOST of the women countrywide borrowing loans from the Women Enterprise Funds are investing in agricultural projects.
The Women Enterprise Funds CEO, Samuel Wainaina, said most of the women have started agricultural projects as the main income generating activity.
Speaking in Nyeri town after issuing Sh 10.8 million cheques to over 200 women groups from Mukurwe-ini, Mathira and Nyeri town constituencies, Wainaina said the women are realising quick returns on their investment enabling them to repay the loans in time.
"About 80 per cent are in agricultural projects while others are in trade. The women are very much attracted in agriculture activities like crop farming and dairy farming," he said.

Hard drives are such an essential part of our PCs, and with the rapid reduction in prices of hard drive disks over the years, it's easy to take them for granted. But just like any machine, even hard drives need their timely dose of fine tuning to ensure that they perform at their optimum capabilities.
1. How To Recover Accidentally Deleted Data From Your Hard Drive
Anyone who's ever accidentally deleted a portfolio of family vacation photos from your camera thinking that you've already backed them up to your computer, will know the pain of losing a treasure trove of precious, irreplaceable memories forever, never to be recovered. Thankfully, we're not the only ones who've lost precious data before, and Restoration is here to change all that.
You see, when you've deleted a bunch of items from your Recycle Bin, that data isn't actually deleted immediately. It still sits dormant in a corner of the hard drive, waiting to be overwritten over by another newer file when the time comes; but without the appropriate software to access it, it might as well be lost forever. Restoration changes that by providing a "bridge" to the dormant "deleted" data, allowing you to access it as long as not too much time has passed.
2. How To Significantly Improve Your System Speeds
Ever felt like your computer was running at speeds comparable to the glacial movements of ice sheets? Always feel like Microsoft Word takes way too long to load? That's because Windows is an extremely large piece of software, and just like a house left unkempt, there's bound to be digital dust and cobwebs stranded all over your PC. You could use Windows' very own Disk Cleanup tool to try and keep things tidy, or you could use Advanced SystemCare Free 5.
Unlike Disk Cleanup or other "sweep" programs, which only targets rouge files and deletes them, Advanced SystemCare Free 5 acts like a Swiss knife with solutions like diving into your network configuration, fixing vulnerability exploits, and fine tuning areas with red flags, in addition to doing the aforementioned "sweep" task.
The differences in speed after performing a check is astounding, and its user interface is simple and welcoming enough, unlike many programs of its type. You'll probably see the biggest gains on dated PCs which haven't been reformatted in a long time, but even if you're running a fairly new computer, you're bound to see improvements.
3. How To Speed Up Your Windows Boot Time
Perhaps one of the oldest gripes about running a Windows PC which has continued to persist into the current day is the amount of time it takes to boot up Windows. WinPatrol presents a nice and tidy solution to reducing your boot times. It's separated into multiple functions, but the 2 you really need to focus on are Startup Programs and Delayed Start.
Startup Programs identifies the programs which Windows automatically loads on boot, and if there are a significant number of programs listed in this pane, you might want to turn off those which you never really use anyway. Delayed Start is an alternative solution to turning off your non-essential startup programs (e.g. Windows Messenger); by delaying loading them until after a few minutes into startup, it allows you to begin your work more quickly than if you had to wait for them to finish loading first.
4. How To Remove Duplicate Files From Your Hard Drive
Duplicate files are the bane of existence of any photo or music enthusiast, or just about anybody who finds themselves constantly transferring Word files back and forth from a thumbdrive. Aside from the nagging experience of having multiple files with indecipherable names like "IMG_00129", having a large double backlog of photos, videos and music files can eat up a sizeable amount of disk space.
With CloneSpy, you can quickly let your computer do the work of scanning for duplicate files for you. CloneSpy works not just by identifying files with the same names – it also compares the data within the files themselves for a thorough sweep through of duplicate files. If you've always been wondering if you may have duplicate photos tucked away in the recesses your photo album, you could give CloneSpy a try.
5. How To Nurture A Blissful Copy/Paste Experience
Copy and pasting are probably one of the most-used features of the average computer, and while Windows' default copy and pasting system is pleasing, it still leaves a lot to be desired. As a remedy, UltraCopier brings with it faster copying times by running extra functions which optimize the copying process, and implements error and collision management methods to reduce copy times and instances which require user intervention.
Ultracopier also introduces a host of extra options, such as the ability to pause and resume copying at will, speed regulation – for times when you want to save system resources for other more important tasks, and a search feature for your copy list – in case you want to review what you may have or have not copied during a bulk file transfer.
