Aww... I can see how the fishing pond would appeal, especially the nostalgia of it. :o)
Thanks for your concern about my muscles, btw... I'm not injured - just suffering from a mild build up of lactic acid (will wear off in a day or two). Always the same after an absence of proper exercising! :o)
Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

This instantly reminded me about the fishing pond in the movie "Pollyanna". She was at the town fair and did this exact same thing and she got a beautiful doll. I love that movie. So sweet and innocent.
Many smiles and blessings!!!

I seem to remember this from the country fairs ages ago. I hope that the kids still love the kind of prizes they catch here. I wonder how many quarters it takes to fish now?

Oh my! I had forgotten all about the fish pond at our local school carnival!
Just the other night, I was telling hubby about how grand my school carnival was each year. .a two story school, and every room had some activity going on in it, with chicken dinners or barbeque dinners going on in the gym .cake walk, movies, ring toss, bingo, etc. and I forgot the fish pond! The parents had one quilt after another strung up continuously, the whole length of the room. .there were LOTS of little fisherpeople. .and as I seem to remember now, lots of tangled lines too! lol
It is nice to see that little ones today are still enjoying something so simple (whomever painted the Nemo characters did a pretty good job!).
Thanks for jogging my memory to such a fun time!

We have lots of small-town fundraisers around here but I've never seen a fish pond. We used to do a family fun night fundraiser at a school I taught at in Calgary and I used to dress up in a head scarf and giant hoop earrings and tell fortunes all night--lots of fun!

STOCKTON - The City Council on Tuesday is expected to take its first step toward filing for bankruptcy in a dramatic move to remedy Stockton's crippling finances.
STOCKTON - The City Council on Tuesday is expected to take its first step toward filing for bankruptcy in a dramatic move to remedy Stockton's crippling finances.
If bankruptcy ultimately happens, Stockton would be the nation's largest city to fall into Chapter 9 protection.
While city administrators remained silent on any plans, it became an open secret Wednesday. The Downtown Stockton Alliance board of directors in a public meeting discussed the city's bankruptcy timetable.
Also Wednesday, the San Joaquin and Calaveras counties Central Labor Council distributed an email, alerting its members that Stockton plans to begin the process at next week's council meeting. The email also invites its members to a meeting Monday to map their strategy for opposing bankruptcy. They won't be alone.
Councilman Dale Fritchen said he's ready to mount an outright opposition because, he said, bankruptcy would cost the city millions in legal fees, drive down property values and discourage new businesses.
"I truly believe this is not the right path at this time for Stockton," Fritchen said. "We're starting to come out of the economic rut we've been in. We're starting to see some light."
Before successfully filing, city leaders must make a series of key moves.
They have to decide if they will engage the city's major creditors in a 60-day mediation period required by a new, labor-backed California law that is designed to help cities dodge bankruptcy.
The City Council is expected to vote Tuesday on if it will launch that process. Eventually, a federal bankruptcy judge has to sign off on any restructuring plan, which the courts do not always grant.
Vallejo recently emerged from bankruptcy. But it cost that city $7 million in legal fees. Stockton is much larger and stands to pay its lawyers almost three times that amount, Fritchen said.
"Do we really want to spend $20 million to fill a $10 million hole?" he said. "That (money) will have to come out of city services."
Vallejo is the 50th largest city in California; Stockton is 13th.
Stockton has been in a financial free fall triggered by the nation's economic crisis that began in 2008. The city has had the dubious distinction of being one of nation's leaders in home foreclosures.
City leaders have long considered bankruptcy as a potential remedy. Layoffs and budget cuts have already been implemented, leaving few other places to reduce funding. In June, the council adopted a $603 million city budget after cutting $37 million.
The City Council has twice - in mid-2010 and mid-2011 - declared a fiscal emergency, enabling it to take drastic measures with its union employee groups.
Fritchen said City Manager Bob Deis is driving the push toward bankruptcy to give Stockton cover from debtors and to allow the city to go after health-care benefits for city retirees - two major drains on finances.
"We are the policy makers," he said. "We give direction to staff. That's not what's happening."
Deis and Stockton Mayor Ann Johnston did not return phone call requests Wednesday seeking comment on the expected agenda item for Tuesday's meeting.
Late Wednesday, the city published its agenda for the upcoming meeting, but with no mention of a vote to launch the mediation process. That item is expected to be added to the agenda Friday.
Councilman Elbert Holman said he hasn't made up his mind if he is for or against bankruptcy. He will do what is best for the city, even if that includes declaring bankruptcy.
"If that's what it takes, I'm open to exploring that too," he said. "I'm going to look at everything."
Vallejo - population 115,000 - is the largest city to declare bankruptcy when it did so in 2008. Vallejo city leaders said the inability to pay pension obligations prompted the decision. A federal judge released Vallejo from bankruptcy Nov. 1.
Two counties in the United States - Orange County in 1994 and Jefferson County, Ala., last year - declared bankruptcy. Those two Chapter 9 filings were by far the largest in U.S. history.
Officer Steve Leonesio, president of the Stockton Police Officers' Association, said he welcomes a mediation process, but he dislikes the bankruptcy option, which would most benefit outside lawyers.
"We're basically spending money to save money, which to me is ridiculous," he said. "To me, it's funny math. It doesn't add up."
Columnist Michael Fitzgerald and assistant managing editor Kevin Parrish contributed to this report.

Reviews (6)
"We have 3"
These work good for our dogs. They fit in a crate or can be used on furniture such as a chair or sofa. My pups stay on a screen porch and like to sleep in my patio chairs. :) They can be put in the washer and air dried. Also work good on a carpeted floor. Price was good.
"Great for Travel"
I love these beds, they are inexpensive and I used them to put in my dogs crates while traveling to agility trials, if they get messy I hose them of really well and throw them in the washing machine with no issues. The are thin and don't have alot of filling but that is part of what I like about them for crate liners.
"Greyt Travel Bed"
I received this bed as a gift years ago, and have used it for Labradors, and now more recently, for my greyhound. It's, as other people have said, not for every day use unless placed on top of another bed, but it does have enough cushion to keep his elbows from rubbing on the hard ground. All my dogs have liked it and seek it out to lay on...it's also quite handy at how well it collapses and is machine washable.
"Not Worth Buying!"
The bed I received feels like it has no filling at all! I could not afford to ship it back or replace it, it ended up in the garbage because I could not get my dog to use it at all!!
"Dog loves it!"
I just bought the bed, and my dog went right over to lay on it! I am very happy with the amount of filling and so is she! I'm planning to use it this summer so my dog has a comfortable place to lay on the deck, and I expect this to do the trick! I love that I can roll it up and put it away when not in use, unlike traditional dog beds.
"flat not fluffy"
size is good but picture gives illusion of some padding. that is not really the case. great for a place to plop on a padded surface, not so much for everyday use. true to it's description, a travel bed

West Virginia Code
The purpose of this chapter is to provide reasonable and effective means for the promotion of social and economic security by reducing as far as practicable the hazards of unemployment. In the furtherance of this objective, the Legislature establishes a compulsory system of unemployment reserves in order to:
(1) Provide a measure of security to the families of unemployed persons.
(2) Guard against the menace to health, morals and welfare arising from unemployment.
(3) Maintain as great purchasing power as possible, with a view to sustaining the economic system during periods of economic depression.
(4) Stimulate stability of employment as a requisite of social and economic security.
(5) Allay and prevent the debilitating consequences of poor relief assistance.
To give effect to these purposes the Legislature establishes the following system in the belief that the purposes are reasonably within the sphere of governmental control and that the agencies created for their accomplishment are the fairest and most effective devices now available.
It is the specific intent of the Legislature that the provisions of this article shall be construed as to comply with the Unemployment Compensation Amendments of 1976 (Public Law 94-566) and for that reason the provisions of this chapter are to be effective January 1, 1978.
This chapter may be cited as the "Unemployment Compensation Law."
Acts, 1996 Reg. Sess., Ch. 252.
(a) There is continued an agency designated Workforce West Virginia, composed of:
(1) Division of Unemployment Compensation;
(2) Division of Employment Service;
(3) Division of Workforce Development;
(4) Division of Research, Information and Analysis; and
(5) Any other divisions or units that the executive director determines are necessary.
(b) Wherever within this chapter the term "department", "bureau" or "fund" is used, it shall be taken to mean Workforce West Virginia unless otherwise indicated. Any reference in this code to the Bureau of Employment Programs means Workforce West Virginia. Any reference in this code to the Commissioner of the Bureau of Employment Programs or Employment Security means the Executive Director of Workforce West Virginia.
(c) Workforce West Virginia shall be administered pursuant to subsection (b), section one, article two, chapter five-f of this code.
(d) The Executive Director of Workforce West Virginia shall establish an employer violator system to identify individuals and employers who are in default on any assessment, surcharge, tax or penalty owed to the fund. The employer violator system shall prohibit violators who own, control or have a ten percent or more ownership interest, or other ownership interest as may be defined by the executive director, in any company from obtaining or maintaining any license, certificate or permit issued by the state until the violator has paid all moneys owed to the fund or has entered into and remains in compliance with a repayment agreement. The employer violator system shall work cooperatively with all state agencies to maintain an accurate, up-to-date list of violators which shall be available in electronic format and online for agencies and the public. Before an employer is added to the violator list, he or she shall be given notice and an opportunity for an expedited administrative hearing. The executive director shall propose for promulgation emergency and legislative rules to effectuate this subsection.
The bureau shall cooperate with the United States department of labor, similar agencies of the several states, and such other agencies as are concerned with the problem of employment security and public assistance and relief.
The bureau, through the commissioner and the advisory council, shall take all steps to:
(1) Reduce and prevent unemployment.
(2) Encourage and assist in the adoption of practical methods of vocational training and guidance.
(3) Encourage the establishment by the state and local subdivisions of public works reserves to finance construction programs in times of unemployment.
(4) Promote reemployment and employment readjustment between industries.
(5) Conduct researches and investigations toward these ends and publish the results.
The "state public employment agency" now maintained in the department of labor shall be transferred on January 1, 1937, and shall be made the state employment service division of the Bureau of Employment Programs.
Officers of the state and of its political subdivisions shall furnish to the commissioner upon his request such information relative to the purposes of this chapter as they may have in their possession.
Acts, 2010 Reg. Sess., Ch. 32.

One idea I've mentioned regularly on The Simple Dollar is that of "cash flow." It's an accounting term that refers to the movement of money into or out of a business or project over a specified period of time.
I really like to use the idea of "cash flow" to look at the state of a family's finances. Over the course of a month or a year, the "cash flow" of a household can tell you a lot about how the family is doing financially.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about.
Let's say that in December 2013, a family brings home $6,000. During that same month, the family spends $5,500 on their bills and other family expenses, both necessary and otherwise. This leaves the family with a cash flow of +$500.
First of all, a positive cash flow is a good thing. That means the family is spending less than they're bringing in. At least some of their income is sticking around, going into savings or investments or toward debt repayment.
Now, let's say that, out of that $5,500 they spend each month, the family spends $2,000 solely on debt repayment. They have a mortgage and a couple of student loans.
As soon as they pay off one of those debts, that amount they're spending on debt repayment will go down. The family will have fewer monthly bills and thus their cash flow should theoretically improve. After all, if they already have a cash flow of +$500, paying off a debt with a monthly bill of $200 should improve their cash flow to +$700, right?
That's one of the biggest principles of cash flow: elimination of monthly bills – particularly in the form of eliminating debts – is one of the easiest ways to improve your family's cash flow. Every monthly bill you can reduce or eliminate will improve your family's cash flow.
This is the big reason why I often suggest people pay off their debts before beginning to invest. Paying off debts is the most direct route to a better monthly cash flow for your family.
Why is a bigger monthly cash flow so good, though? I look at it as being something of an "emergency fund" for life.
Let's say you've worked hard and reached a point where you're actually spending $2,000 less than you bring in each month. You have no mortgage and no other debts. In that situation, imagine a job loss. You likely have some savings but, more importantly, even after the job loss, your monthly bills are low enough that you're not going to intensely struggle with them for a while.
Let's say you have a really interesting job opportunity sitting out there in front of you, but it pays $1,500 less per month than you're making. If you're spending everything you bring in – a cash flow of $0 – taking that job is impossible. If you've paid off your debts and you have a cash flow of $1,500 a month, then you can take that job without changing much of anything else about your life.
Cash flow gives you flexibility. It gives you protection against bad things in life. To me, it's a wonderful argument in favor of getting rid of every debt you can as fast as you can, because those debt payments strangle your cash flow.
In the end, cash flow really comes back to that one key principle of personal finance: spend less than you earn. It's just a different way of looking at that idea, one that really shows the value of getting rid of your debts.

The IntelifilTM Polyphosphate Cartridges utilize an NSF 42, NSF 60 certified clear bead media for scale and corrosion reduction. Also, iron is sequestered, preventing precipitation thus greatly improving the performance of the effluent water. The slow dissolving crystals apply a self-healing coating to water pipes and appliances. This polyphosphate coat prevents any further scaling and corrosion to water pipes and appliances.
Phosphates are a preferred food for bacteria and should not be used in non-chlorinated feed water without any bacterial protection (example: UV light, KDF, ceramic filters).

White House advisers promise sharper focus on jobs
In this Sunday, Jan. 24, 2010, photo provided by Fox News Sunday, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs speaks on Fox News Sunday at their studio in Washington. Gibbs said Obama presidential campaign manager David Plouffe is returning to a greater role in the administration primarily to deal with this year's midterm elections for Congress and state governors. (AP Photo/Fox News Sunday, Freddie Lee)
WASHINGTON—A politically shaken White House promised Sunday a sharper focus on jobs and the economy, but key advisers were less sure-footed on health care reform. They took a wait-and-see approach as the dust settles from the punishing loss of the late Edward M. Kennedy's Senate seat.
President Barack Obama's poll numbers are off -- primarily because of the slow economic recovery and double-digit unemployment. And a majority of Americans also have turned against health care reform, the president's signature legislative effort that was likely killed with Scott Brown's stunning upset in the special election in Massachusetts.
"The president has always gotten the message," top Obama adviser David Axelrod said. "The message is, we need to grow this economy in a way that allows hardworking people who are meeting their responsibilities to get ahead instead of falling behind."
Axelrod said Americans would learn more about White House plans for the economy on Wednesday when the president delivers his first State of the Union address. The adviser offered no specifics; there has been talk of a second economic stimulus package, one totaling around $175 billion.
On health care, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said discussions were under way to see whether Democrats can take some kind of action in Congress. Valerie Jarrett, another top adviser, said Obama had spoken to congressional leaders over the weekend "to try to see what the climate is, what's the art of the possible."
Indications are that independent voters, key to Obama's 2008 victory over Sen. John McCain, may move heavily to Republicans in November midterm elections for Congress and governors.
Looking to prevent future surprises like Brown's Senate victory and to block the feared Republican surge in November, Obama has brought back to the White House his adviser David Plouffe, the political mastermind of Obama's against-the-odds presidential victory.
"He will help supplement an already good political staff ... in helping us watch the 2010 elections, the gubernatorial, the Senate and the House elections," Gibbs said. Both Gibbs and Axelrod said there was no White House shake-up in the works.
Having watched Obama suffer through one of the cruelest political weeks of his first year in the White House, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., had no plans to give the president any help or breathing room. He said the only hope for health care was to "stop and start over and go step by step to fix the cost problem."
More largely, McConnell said Obama needs to move to the political center. "I think he'll find a lot more Republican support than he's had in the first year," the senator said.
With health care languishing, Obama was likely as well to run into heavy Republican opposition as he turns up the verbal heat on America's big banks and financial institutions, calling for legislation that would clamp off moves to grow even larger. He has spoken of federal fees on transactions by those banks that have taken government assistance and are once again showing massive profits and paying outsized bonuses.
Obama is moving in that direction even as opposition grows in the Senate to his nomination of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to a second term. Officials in the White House and Senate, however, predicted that Bernanke would be confirmed for a new four-year term.
Gibbs said Bernanke was needed to ensure stability in the financial system and warned lawmakers against "playing politics in any way" that would send a negative message to financial markets.
Jarrett said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had assured Obama that Bernanke had strong support among Democrats, and McConnell said he anticipated bipartisan confirmation, although he would not say how he planned to vote.
Bernanke, appointed by Republican President George W. Bush, is widely credited with helping to prevent the recession from turning into a depression. But his support of Wall Street bailouts has angered the public.
Obama called Senate allies on Saturday to make his case for Bernanke, whose term ends Jan. 31. The Senate is scheduled to vote on Bernanke by week's end.
Gibbs spoke on "Fox News Sunday" while Axelrod appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" and ABC's "This Week." Jarrett and McConnell spoke on NBC's "Meet the Press."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate's No. 2 Republican would vote against President Barack Obama's former economic adviser Lawrence Summers if he is nominated to serve as Federal Reserve chairman, the lawmaker's office said on Thursday.
Senator John Cornyn of Texas, the party's whip in the Senate, is the most senior Republican to publicly declare that he does not want Summers to succeed Ben Bernanke as Fed chairman.
"If you look at Larry Summers' record, he has a history of promoting stimulus funding and higher taxes, and that's not in line with Texas values," said Cornyn's spokeswoman Megan Mitchell.
Summers, who served as Treasury secretary during the Clinton administration, and Fed Vice Chair Janet Yellen are considered the top two candidates to replace Bernanke, whose term expires at the end of January. The White House has said Obama will announce his decision in the fall.
A number of Democratic senators have taken the unusual step of criticizing Summers and urging Obama to nominate Yellen instead, suggesting the president would have to round up a fair amount of Republican support to get Summers confirmed.
Cornyn's opposition underscores the difficulty Obama would face. Democrats control the chamber 54-46, but any nominee would likely need to secure 60 votes to clear procedural hurdles.
"It's ugly and it's not really a fight that we want to have," said a Democratic leadership aide.
Another Democratic Senate aide said the White House had done little to ease concerns about Summers and was running out of time to convince members of the Senate Banking Committee, who will vet any nomination, that he was worth supporting. "This is going to be an uphill battle for them," the aide said.
Although Democrats have a 12-10 advantage on the banking panel, two of them - Senators Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Jeff Merkley of Oregon - have said they are planning on voting against Summers. A third - Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who is a hero among progressives because of her attacks against Wall Street - might also oppose him.
If all three were to defect, Obama would have to secure at least three Republican votes just to move the nomination to the full Senate for final consideration.
Cornyn's spokeswoman said the senator had not made a decision on Yellen and was looking at her record.
As National Economic Council director during Obama's first term, Summers was part of the administration's team that helped craft a more than $800 billion fiscal package of spending and tax cuts to boost the economy.
At the time, most Republicans, including Cornyn, voted against the stimulus, saying it was a waste of taxpayer funds. Liberal Democrats said the package was not big enough.
Summers' actions as Obama's top economic adviser, as well as his role in easing banking rules and opposing derivative regulations when he was Treasury secretary in the 1990s, have come back to haunt him, as have comments he made when president of Harvard University that suggested a lack of aptitude might explain why so few women held top engineering and science jobs.
Now, progressive and women's groups are actively campaigning to prevent him from becoming Fed chairman.
Heidi Hartmann, president of the Institute for Women's Policy Research, has spearheaded a letter to Obama urging him to choose Yellen.
The letter, which she began circulating Sunday night and expects to send to Obama next week, has been signed by more than 400 economists, including former Fed vice chairs Alan Blinder and Alice Rivlin, former Obama adviser Christina Romer, and leading academics Jeffrey Sachs and Joseph Stiglitz.

About Vans Era 95 DX Shoes
The Anaheim Factory Era 95 DX in (Anaheim Factory) OG Red Stripes/OG Blue Check pays tribute to the first Vans factory in Anaheim, California, by borrowing details from the original Authentic and offering modernised comfort with upgraded UltraCush sock liners. This is the perfect summer style addition to your collection!
Vans Brings it Back to 1966 by Releasing Footwear Pack Inspired by Original Anaheim Factory
Vans pays tribute to over 50 years of "Off The Wall" design history by releasing the Anaheim Factory pack, a collection of Classic silhouettes that draws inspiration from the original footwear produced in Anaheim, California. When Vans opened for business in 1966, a 400 sq. ft. retail store was connected to the front of the production factory, which sold a handful of simple canvas footwear. Today, Vans calls upon those early styling cues to release a modern update to Vans Icons.
Every design element within the Anaheim Factory pack could be dated back to the late '60s and early '70s. Style numbers are used to signify the original design mold of three footwear models – the Authentic 44, Old Skool 46 and Sk8-Hi 38. Each style utilises a marshmallow sidewall with a higher profile and is treated with a slight sheen that was present after going through Vans' early vulcanisation process. The entire offering features heavy a 10-oz. canvas and the Side stripe models showcase a suede toe cap, heel counter and eye stay. Vans has equipped each silhouette with a premium UltraCush® footliner so you can enjoy a modernised take on one of Vans Classic Icon silhouettes.

Ad Libs: Worth another lookUploaded: May 27, 2010
After visiting the Palo Alto Art Center the other week for a story about kids' art education, I went back today. I had been too busy scribbling quotes and keeping pace with docent tours before. Looking at the actual art, not so much.
Some sculptures, especially, called for a second look. They were these giant behemoths that I could swear were bronze or one of those really common sculpting metals, like ruthenium. I also thought they were made by professional artists. The current exhibitions are all of student art, but I figured someone had snuck in a pro for inspiration.
No, and no. The Buddha, the lanky giraffe and the vaguely threatening spider-woman were all created by Palo Alto high school students, and all fashioned from papier-mache. ...

We were meant to tender in Giardini Naxos today, with tours running to the quaint cliffside town of Taormina. However, Mother Nature had other plans. Due to high winds, rain and lightning, Captain Jose instead decided to dock in the Sicilian town of Messina. Most Azamara Shore Excursions tours were cancelled, and most guests preferred to spend the day relaxing onboard and enjoying the additional onboard activities scheduled.
Azamara Quest in Messina, Sicily, Italy.
For those of us who were willing the brave the elements, the "Taormina On Your Own" tour went ahead as planned. The hour-long drive into town was a great opportunity to take in the beautiful countryside of Sicily.
Thankfully, the rain mostly held off during the several hours we spend exploring Taormina, and we were able to appreciate the rich history and idyllic charm the town provides. Though we weren't able to enjoy the island's many beaches during this particular trip, we thoroughly appreciated the views from the cliffs above.
A little rain won't get in the way of Hide & Tweet!
Sicily offers much more than beaches. There's fantastic cuisine to enjoy, shopping to indulge in, and a fascinating ancient Greco-Roman amphitheater to explore. The Teatro Greco is built high on a hill, and offers stunning views of the beaches, jagged cliffs and houses below. It's easy to imagine what a spectacular venue it would have been centuries ago.
As I explored Taormina, I indulged in a cannolo (or two), and a sandwich made with salami, sundried tomatoes, and pistachio cheese. I picked up a few souvenirs for home: blood orange marmalade, pistachio pesto, Nero d'Avola red wine, and spicy red pepper Sicilian chocolate.
Look for classic Sicilian flavors when purchasing food: almonds, pistachios, olives, capers, peppers, tomatoes, oranges and apricots are all common in Sicilian cuisine.
Next, I found my way to the Hide & Tweet secret location: Piazza IX Aprile. The piazza is at the center of Taormina, and offers a spectacular view of the Ionian Sea below. Nearby are two churches, and Taormina's clock tower.
The Piazza gets its name from a famous event. On April 9, 1860, a mass at the Taormina cathedral was interrupted to announce that Garibaldi had landed at Marsala to begin his conquest of Sicily. This was premature - Garibaldi did not land in Marsala until May 9, 1860.
Congratulations to @MedCruiseGuide, who correctly found me! This lucky winner receives National Geographic's upcoming coffee table book, Destinations of a Lifetime. Time to do a little travel planning, perhaps?
As the day wore on, the weather worsened. Azamara Quest staff always has guests' safety and comfort at top of mind, so they decided to move the AzAmazing Evening onboard the ship. We enjoyed a stellar performance by three local opera singers and an orchestra in the Cabaret Lounge onboard.
Tomorrow is a sea day, giving guests time to relax and recharge before arriving in Greece! Stay tuned for three more rounds of Hide & Tweet on Saturday in Chania, Sunday in Santorini, and Monday in Athens. The best prizes have yet to come!
Feel inspired to see Taormina for yourself? It's a stop on the 7 Night Adriatic & Amalfi Coast Voyage in September 2016.

We collaborate as an entire team, combining design and production priorities.
Our design and sourcing processes are inter-linked. Sometimes we design and then source fabrics we wish to produce in, and other times we discover fabric we love and can create accordingly, quickly.
Meticulously designed for everyday wear, focusing on quality above all else.
You inspire us - our #DorsuCrew! We love talking to you and learning about what you do, what you need, and how clothing fits into your life. Every day, we meet fellow travellers from around the globe, visiting us during their holidays in Kampot. They buy Dorsu for our quality; withstanding weeks or months of adventures. When they return home, they have their go-to essentials for work, weekends, and holidays.
We make our own rules and don't abide by trends, mass consumption or over-production. By investing our time and talent into thoughtful design, we create pieces that will be mainstays in your closet.
Our patterns are made in-house by our Co-Founder and Head of Production & Design, Kunthear. With years of experience and training, she opts for the traditional method of measuring and cutting paper to transform concepts into complete, graded patterns.
Every 8 weeks, we release new collections consisting of 3-4 thoughtfully designed, intentional pieces to be worn with one another and across collections. We use limited edition fabrics, meaning each collection is small-batch, sitting perfectly alongside our year-round Core Collection.
The first step in the cutting process is washing the fabric, to test shrinkage and colour fastness. Our cutting team cut paper patterns from the originals, laying them on the material in a way that minimises wastage. Cutting up to 25 layers at a time, we bundle each piece according to size.
The cut and bundled pieces are then moved into the production room and delegated along the production line. It's fast and straightforward, ensuring we create consistent end-products.
The sewn products are washed and individually measured against their specifications, checking they're true-to-size.
The final step in production is ironing and the second check for shrinkage, warping, construction or fabric faults. The final garments are folded, packed and stored for sale. Some are moved directly into our studio store (located at the front of our production space), while others go to our flagship store in Kampot, or sent to Australia for international retail.
All production staff undergo extensive training and skills development to ensure safe, efficient and quality work by all team members. We train all new staff on our internal Human Resources policy, including occupational health & safety procedures, fire safety and evacuation, and child protection. We update and renew training annually, with ongoing instruction on equipment safety and maintenance, as well as the protocols to assess risk and responsibly address incidents in the workplace.
Fair and safe employment is the responsibility of all companies, and we prioritise the physical and emotional well-being of our employees above everything else.
We have two storefronts in Kampot, Cambodia - our Old Market Flagship Store and our Road 33 Production Studio Store. All team members take part in regular training on our new ranges, inclusive of design concept, fabric, fit and styling.
Our Kampot based retail team manage the in-country delivery program, speaking directly with customers to facilitate the order and delivery process.
We ship all online orders from our distribution space in Tasmania, Australia. Our online customer service team work against Australian EST, providing consistent and quality support to our international customers.
We welcome your feedback and are open to answering any questions you may have about sizing, construction, fabric, or our production practices.
We ship all bulk orders from our Road 33 Production Studio in Kampot, Cambodia. Most of the time, these are made-to-order. As a result of having a close-knit team, we can offer a seamless buying experience. Our sales staff speak to our Production Manager, face-to-face so that you can have the most accurate updates on the status of your order.
Our fabric is remnant cotton jersey sourced from independent suppliers in Phnom Penh.
Remnant fabric (also known as "deadstock" or "surplus") is unused and unwanted leftover rolls of cloth in its original condition.
As a result of Cambodia's pervasive garment manufacturing industry and issues that occur along the fashion industry's incredibly complex supply chain, vast amounts of fabric are deemed unusable by brands on a daily basis. This waste arises due to reasons such as incorrect or oversupply of cloth, last minute changes in production schedules and the ever-increasing need for brands to be immediately responsive and adaptive to fashion trends.
These fabric leftovers are sold on from brands and factories to a local fabric supply industry, who then sell on through the Cambodian supply chain. We scour the warehouses of our preferred suppliers and purchase rolls of fabric per kilogram. When sourcing for our collections, we buy up to 100 kilograms of a collection colour (like burgundy) and up to 300 kilograms of a core colour (like black and navy).
Due to the nature of sourcing factory remnants, we can't guarantee consistency in the fabric blends. Consequently, we burn-test every fabric we buy to ensure it has very little or no synthetic fibres.
We pre-wash a sample of every new fabric, testing for colour fastness and shrinkage.
We know that using factory remnants has limitations. We know we can't trace the true origins of our material. But, we are doing what we can, within the context in which we work. Cambodia doesn't have cotton mills or weaving facilities so, we are limited by access. As a small brand, we experience financial barriers of meeting minimum order quantities of suppliers outside of Cambodia and then importing fabric into the country. We are acutely aware of our impact on the local economy, and we choose to place our money where it has the most significant impact.
All Dorsu team members are required to read, understand, sign and abide by our internal human resource policy that is inclusive of:

Hair Trend To Try: Low Ponytail — Runway To Real Life With Aveda
Low ponytails are a hot trend for 2013 and Stella McCartney showed off the sleek and modern look in her Fall 2013 runway show. Aveda's Global Creative Director Antoinette Beenders created the look and thanks to her top tips, anyone can achieve the sexy hair seen on the runway!
The models for Stella McCartney's Fall/Winter 2013 presentation were sporting shiny, sleek, and elegant ponytails with the help of Aveda products and the styling prowess of Creative Director Antoinette Beenders. We'll show you the exact hairstyling products and techniques used to help you get look in your every day life!
Stella McCartney's Fall 2013 Hair — Ponytails By Aveda
To create the look, Antoinette prepped the model's hair with Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair and Aveda Smooth Infusion Style Prep to tackle humidity and protect the hair from heat styling.
Next, she sectioned hair off and began to blow-dry each section with a large round brush. Then, she flat-ironed the model's hair and immediately applied Aveda Air Control for a light-hairspray hold.
She then secured hair into a low ponytail with one narrow section of hair wrapped around the elastic band and held in place with a hair pins. To finish, she sprayed Aveda Air Control again to provide a glossy finish on the hair.
Finally, she ran a flat iron through the hair one last time to flatten out any kinks or bumps, and finished by spraying Aveda Air Control one last time.
A Perfect Look From The Runway To Real Life
Stella McCartney's elegant low-ponytails look completely effortless and are incredibly versatile. A perfect example of how to rock this look in real life is modeled by Beyonce at the 2013 Grammy Awards. Queen Bey's ponytail was sleek, elegant, and fierce — just like the Stella McCartney models. Tell us what you think, HollywoodLifers! Do you like the ponytails at Stella McCartney?

A recent study conducted by CPP has revealed that Germany's luxury market will grow by up to 20% in 2013, particularly the fashion, watches, jewellery sectors. As the the primary purpose of travelling to Germany is medical (treatments, surgeries etc), luxury retail and hospitality and indirect beneficiaries. Over 30% of the wealthy visitor to Germany come from the Middle East (UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain).
Governments in most of these countries subsidize costs for treatment abroad of its nationals, from flights to accommodation and the hospital bills. The most "generous" is the government of U.A.E., its embassies making all necessary arrangements. According to our survey, the length of such a "medical" trip for a Gulf patient is on average 10 days – in many cases, flight arrangements being business class and hotels five star. Each patient is allowed to be accompanied by a relative or friend and in the case of women, by two such close people.
In Europe, Germany ranks as first choice, given the quality of medical services, especially for cardiology, ophtamology and cancer. Munich ranks first, followed by Hamburg and Dusseldorf (Essen).
In luxury hotels in Munich, these medical travellers now make up to a third of all guests, hence, personalized services such as literature in Arabic and Arabic cuisine menus in restaurants and in-room dining. This explains the high occupancy at luxury hotels in Munich, Hamburg and Dusseldorf in off-season as well as the high rates, despite a steep decline in corporate travel. Travel to Germany by Gulf nationals has also been helped by direct flight connections – Emirates fly non-stop from Dubai to Munich, Berlin and Hamburg while Qatar Airways flies from Munich and Hamburg, non stop to Doha. Lufthansa is also flying direct to several Gulf destinations. Etihad flies non-stop from Abu Dhabi to Frankfurt and Munich, and through its partnership with Air Berlin, to over 20 cities in Germany.
Russians and nationals from Eastern European countries are also incresingly travelling to Germany for medical reasons, however, unlike Gulf nationals, their expenses are covered by either private insurance or personal income. There are direct flights between many cities in Germany to Moscow and Sankt Petersburg. There has also been an increase from CIS states such as Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, most of them for medical reasons too.
As for Asian travellers, most of them from China and South Korea, arrive in Germany mostly for leisure and they favour mainly Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt. The lower prices of most luxury branded goods, in many cases 20% cheaper than in China, have been the major incentive for Chinese to travel to Germany. By comparison to Paris or London, flights between China and Germany are cheaper due to an oversupply. On average an return economy class flight ticket from Beijing to Frankfurt is 30 to 40% cheaper than an economy return from Paris to Beijing.
Asian travellers also prefer German luxury shopping destinations such as Munich, Berlin and Frankfurt given that luxury hotel rates are up to 30% cheaper than those in Paris or Milan.
Major luxury brands such as Prada and Vuitton have grasped on the potential of foreign travellers and have placed Germany at the top of their expansion plans in Europe. They are also tackling an important shortcoming of Munich or Berlin, which have smaller stores than in Paris, London or Milan (hence a reduced variety of their collections), by enlarging existing stores or opening new, larger store.
In Munich, Prada is enlarging its existing flagship store by 30% (adding a adjacent building), while Louis Vuitton is opening an impressive Louis Vuitton Maison store at the prestigious Palais an der Oper on Residenzstrasse, covering 600 sqm – both stores due to open this Summer.
Leading jewellery and watches retailer Bucherer is opening in Munich its second flagship store in Munich near the new Vuitton Maison this Summer. Max Mara is also scheduled to open its new flagship store in Munich on Theatinerstrass this summer. The new developments in Munich come after the recent openings, at the end of 2012, of several new stores: Tom Ford, Belstaff, Michael Kors and Saint Laurent.
In Germany, Prada operates 6 mono-brand stores and 2 shop in shops; Louis Vuitton operates 8 stores; Gucci 7 mono-brand stores and 4 corners; Cartier operates 5 mono-brand boutiques, Ermenegildo Zegna 4 mono-brand stores and 4 corners; Burberry 4 mono-brand stores; Tiffany 4 mono-brand boutiques. Many of the luxury fashion and accessories brands blame the lack of infrastructure (few luxury department stores) and high leases for the slow retail development in Germany.
As for watches, most of the major luxury brands are represented through wholesale, the most important retailers being Wempe (15 stores in Germany) and Bucherer. Rolex (through local partners), Blancpain and Omega are among the brands with a large representation of mono-brand boutiques in Germany.

2011 In-House Info...
Below are links to the following in-house schedules:
Cockeysville Lacrosse welcomes you to the spring In-House Lacrosse season. The In-House program covers the following age groups with their respective age cut off date:
Pockets (ages 4-5, birthdates 9/1/05 - 12/31/06)
Clinic (ages 5-6, birthdates 9/1/03 - 8/31/05)
Tyker (ages 7-8, birthdates 9/1/01 - 8/31/03)
Lightning (ages 9-10, birthdates 9/1/99 - 8/31/01)
You can find specific age group information under these web pages. Simply click on your child's program (pockets, clinic, tyker & lightning) and information specific to that program will be posted here.
Information posted here will include:
· Program overview
· Program rules of play
· General news updates
Each team will have their own individual web page once we break off into teams. You can access that page from the horizontal menu bar titled in-house/travel/indoor. Select the season you are playing (outdoor), then select your league (in-house, travel, or indoor), then select your team under the far right hand drop down menu.
As always, if you have any questions, thoughts or concerns don't hesitate to send us an email to
Roster Requests…
We just wanted to spend a minute explaining our program policy regarding roster requests and playing in the wrong age group.
Roster Requests…
At our younger age groups (Pockets & Clinic) we do our best to accommodate as many roster requests as we possibly can. We completely understand that when you are 4, 5 or 6 playing rec sports is all about playing with your friends. Make sure to mark your member file for any requests in the note field, and our coaches will do their best to accommodate those requests.
At Tyker & Lightning, we are more concerned about fielding evenly balanced teams and the development of the players. Our coaches again will do what they can to accommodate requests, but only if the balance of the teams remain intact (teams are selected through a draft).
Playing within your appropriate age group…
The Maryland Youth Lacrosse Association (MYLA) is the governing body of youth lacrosse for our program. MYLA sets the age groups, and their respective cut off dates. This controls all of our travel teams at the Tyker & Lightning levels as well as all of our Midget & Junior play.
We understand that boys with late birth dates often move to the older age group before the rest of their friends. We have over 100 boys in our program who play with their friends every other year due to their age. If we honored a request for one, we would have to honor them all. You can imagine how this will negatively affect all of our programs, from Pockets to Lightning.
We appreciate your understanding of this topic.

MLS Match Recap: Chivas USA 3, FC Dallas 1
CARSON, Calif. — An opportunistic Oswaldo Minda capitalized on an immense defensive lapse to help give Chivas USA a come-from-behind, 3-1 victory Sunday afternoon against FC Dallas at the Home Depot Center.
Minda found himself alone inside the box following a turnover in the 76th minute and buried the go-ahead goal with a right-footed shot that zipped past FC Dallas goalkeeper Raúl Fernández. The opportunity surfaced when defender George John couldn't control a pass deep in his own zone, and Minda cleaned it up as new manager José Luis Sánchez Solá pumped his right fist in excitement.
Sánchez Solá earned his first victory in Major League Soccer, a week following an underwhelming debut that left him questioning his club's preparation.
Captain David Ferreira had given FC Dallas a 1-0 lead with a stunning right-footed shot from a difficult angle in the 57th minute, but Juan Agudelo tied it only 11 minutes later. Agudelo, who didn't start in the season opener last week due to a foot injury, worked his way past Matt Hedges to unleash a left-footed strike that found the back of the net and sent the 6,801 in attendance into jubilation.
The crowd roared again when Giovani Casillas cashed in on a breakaway three-on-one opportunity in stoppage time, beating Fernández with a calm shot to the near post.
Minda's game-winning goal was his second in a Chivas USA jersey, his previous coming last year in his first season in a 1-0 victory at Toronto FC.
FC Dallas were unlucky after taking the 1-0 advantage, with Hedges hitting the post on a header from the right side of the box in the 60th minute.
Miller Bolaños, like Agudelo making the start Sunday after coming off the bench in the opener, missed a golden opportunity to put the Rojiblancos on the board early in the second half, but the added offensive pressure was only a sign of positive things to come for Chivas USA (1-1).
Dallas (1-1) didn't necessarily have a pretty performance in last week's 1-0 win over Western Conference rivals Colorado but held on nonetheless, something they couldn't accomplish Sunday.
The clubs next meet on July 4 in Dallas for the second of three head-to-head regular season matchups.
Chivas USA stay in Los Angeles next week, but are the designated road team for the Mar. 17 SuperClasico against the Galaxy. FC Dallas host the Houston Dynamo on the same date.
|What We Saw
|Juan Agudelo (CHV)
|Solid presence up top in the second half and one moment of brilliance. Chivas need this Juan Agudelo to show up.
|Oswaldo Minda (CHV)
|Can't fault him for being in the right place, right time. The second goal was a backbreaker, and it came because Minda was being a pest.
|David Ferreira (DAL)
|The goal was great, and he looks more and more himself again every week. If he can surive the hacks, he's back.

When I began using the ZTE Imperial, I was struck by how well it worked. Given the usually poor performance of lower-tier ZTE devices, I was expecting yet another handset that had an inaccurate screen, an unimpressive camera, and glacial internal speeds.
However, to my pleasant surprise, the phone works well: the display is responsive, its camera is decent, and it performs smoothly.
Keep in mind that the Imperial still isn't a powerhouse by any means, and its bulky build is an eyesore. In fact, U.S. Cellular is offering it for only a penny under contract. But if you want a cheap, reliable, 4G LTE device, this handset won't disappoint.
Though I'm usually partial to white devices, and the use of the color doesn't look bad on this handset, the ZTE Imperial is hefty -- really hefty. At 0.45 inch thick and weighing 5.43 ounces, I thought for a quick second that the phone was actually sporting a QWERTY keyboard underneath. Alas, it wasn't. It's just bulky.
The device measures 4.92 inches tall and 2.58 inches wide. On its left is a prominent volume rocker that's easy to press, and up top are a 3.5mm headphone jack and a sleep/power button. The right edge houses a microSD card slot that's covered by a small plastic door, and a shortcut key that launches the camera. At the very bottom is a Micro-USB port for charging.
On the back is a 5-megapixel camera with flash and to the right of it is a small speaker grille. Using the indentation on the bottom right corner, you can pry off the battery door with your finger. Once that's removed, you can access the 2,500mAh battery and SIM card.
The handset's 4-inch IPS display has a 480x800-pixel resolution. The touch screen is responsive to my swipes and taps, and menu icons and texts appear clear. However, the display has a narrow viewing angle, and as such, it's even more difficult to view outdoors. Furthermore, because the resolution is low, high-definition images will understandably not look very crisp. In fact, some default wallpaper images looked "crunchy" and grainy.
Above the display is a 1-megapixel front-facing camera, and below are three hot keys (back, home, and menu) that light up white when in use.
Hear ye, hear ye: The ZTE Imperial (pictures)See all photos
Software and features
The phone runs on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and features your standard complement of Google apps, such as Gmail, Google+, Chrome, Local, Maps with Navigation, Messenger, several Google Play store portals like Books, Magazines, Movies & TV, and Music, Search, Talk, and YouTube.
Other apps include several from Amazon (for its retail site, Appstore, Amazon MP3, Audible, and Zappos), the game Block Breaker 3, Slacker Radio, and Twitter. There are also several apps just specifically from U.S. Cellular, like City ID, Daily Perks (which notifies you of deals from the carrier), MiEasyAccess, Wi-Fi Now, apps for getting ringtones and games, MobileTV, and a navigator app.
Basic task-managing apps include a clock with alarm and world time functions, a native browser, an e-mail client, a music app, a video player, a calculator, a calendar, a news and weather app, a notepad, a sound recorder, a timer, and a voice dialer.
Other features include Bluetooth 4.0, mobile hot-spotting, 4GB of onboard storage, and 1GB of RAM.
Now, a quick note about the user interface: although this UI isn't particularly new (it's on the ZTE Director, for example) I did spot a few things I haven't seen before that I like. For example, when you long press on any of the home screen pages, it'll take you to customization settings menu, instead of just presenting different options to change the wallpaper. There, you edit how many home pages you want, select from a long list of interesting page transitions, and choose a different lock screen wallpaper.
Camera and video
The 5-megapixel camera has several photo options. It has a flash, touch focus, a 4x digital zoom, 10 Instagram-esque filters, five shooting modes that include panorama and rapid capture, two scene modes, compositional lines, five photos sizes (ranging from 640x480 to 2,592x1,944 pixels), blink detection and red-eye reduction, meters to adjust the exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, and sharpness of a photo, five white balances, six ISO options (ranging from 100 to 1,600), and geotagging.
The 1-megapixel camera retains the same digital zoom, grid lines, white balances, geotagging, and ISO options. However, it only takes photos in two sizes (640x480 or 1,280x720-pixels).
Video recording options include five qualities (ranging from QCIF to 720p), digital zoom, time lapse, continuous flash, geotagging, the same white balances, the options to take a photo while recording, two different audio encoding options, and three different video encoding options. Save for time lapse and continuous flash (but the latter is for obvious reasons), the front-facing camera has the same video options.

Criminal Justice and Criminal Investigation Students Win at ConferenceWednesday, December 2nd, 2009
SUNY Canton's future law enforcement professionals received high marks at the American Criminal Justice Association northeast regional conference.
Members of Beta Psi Delta, the SUNY Canton chapter of the American Criminal Justice Association, took home a handful of awards in competitions against students from 17 other colleges.
"This was the first time we competed at an American Criminal Justice Association conference," noted Criminal Justice Assistant Professor Brian K. Harte, who advises the Beta Psi Delta chapter. "We hope to compete annually as a way to promote our excellent students and our career-driven programs."
Harte and Criminal Justice Instructor Professor Elizabeth A. Erickson traveled with the students to the conference in Philadelphia, Pa.
Among the Criminal Investigation students who placed at the conference were:
- Elizabeth S. Ayers of Brooktondale took first place in the upper division criminal law examination.
- Andrew C. Wood of Ogdensburg took second place in the upper divisions of the criminal law examination and the police administration examination.
- Anthony M. Puretti of Canton took second place in the upper division of the firearms competition.
The American Criminal Justice Association and its SUNY Canton Chapter emphasizes continuing excellence within the Criminal Justice fields and promotes academic excellence and leadership among students.
SUNY Canton offers a wide variety of career-driven bachelor's, associate, and certificate programs. Most of SUNY Canton's new four-year programs are designed so students can take them on-campus, online, or both. SUNY Canton OnLine features more than 100 courses online each semester. The College's athletic teams belong to the NAIA's Sunrise Conference, enabling students to compete in their respective sports for four years. Construction is now underway for the College's new Convocation, Athletic, and Recreation Center.
Media inquiries should be directed to Gregory Kie, Media Relations Coordinator, or call 315/386-7528.

The ACLU is looking into privacy policies at the Sarasota Police Department after a news release included the names of five women whose identities should have been protected under health privacy laws.
The police department issued a news release at 10:25 a.m. Friday promoting Turn Your Life Around, a crime-fighting program. Five women detained Oct. 1 during an undercover prostitution operation were offered the chance to receive services from First Step, according to police. They agreed, voluntarily committing to the Marchman Act — a Florida law regarding substance abuse treatment.
The email included the names and birth dates of the five women.
A second email followed an hour later, asking that the names not be published.
"Regarding the release, Sarasota Police Department begins TYLA - Turn Your Life Around sent earlier this morning, the Lieutenant with the program is asking the names of the women not be released on media outlets or websites at this time," the email states.
Michael Barfield, vice president of the Florida ACLU chapter, said those names should have been protected by HIPAA laws because the women are seeking medical attention for substance abuse.
"I sent an email to the police chief and city attorney asking: a) how can this happen? And b) who is responsible?" Barfield said. "The program sounds like an excellent program, but it's not off to a very good start given that its first act was to violate the privacy of these individuals."
Barfield said Monday afternoon that he had not heard back from either official.
Eric Werbeck, a city attorney who advises the police department, was unaware of the email until a Herald-Tribune reporter called him seeking comment.
He is looking into the issue.
Chief Bernadette DiPino could not be reached for comment.
Genevieve Judge, partnership policing communications coordinator, is the person who sent the original and updated emails to the department's media list.
"The first email went up the chain-of-command to be approved," Judge said.
Barfield said he is not looking into litigation, but wants to review department policies.
"At this point, we're just in the information-gathering state," Barfield said. "My hope is the department tightens its procedures relating to privacy rights of all individuals."

|Fri 30 Aug 2019, 7:00pm–11:00pm
Lee Kernaghan is kicking off the year in a big way announcing his most extensive tour to date and an epic new album, 'Backroad Nation'.
Lee says his Backroad Nation tour is set to cover a lot of country over the coming year with concert events planned Australia wide. The extensive run includes 45 shows that go on sale today and coincide with the release of the first radio single, 'Wheels'. The new song from the forthcoming Backroad Nation album features the accompanying music video that was filmed on location in outback Northern Territory.
"It was absolutely spectacular out in that desert country and we were shooting in 46-degree heat— it was even too hot for the flies," Lee recalls. Lee's wife Robby also made a special appearance in the music video donning bikinis and Akubra hat. "When I first asked Robby if she'd be in the clip she said no," he says. "So, I had to sweeten the deal and I bribed her with a couple of of cold beers at Lasseter's Casino."
Lee says the Backroad Nation album and tour is a celebration of "us, our way of life and the people who make our country great." "Much of the inspiration for the songs has come from the people I've met and the places I've travelled to, from Alice Springs to the Deni Ute Muster, from the mighty Pilbara region in WA to the backroads of Queensland, and everywhere in between," he says.
Kernaghan who has 38 number one songs to his credit says the new tour will feature all the hits and a whole lot more. "We've been working on creating a concert event that I hope people are going to really love being a part of," he says. "A lot of new design elements have been added with the staging, lighting and screens plus the hottest band in the land, The Wolfe Brothers will be joining me and opening up the shows with a bunch of their own hits."
The Wolfe Brothers made country music history in January becoming the first group to win four Golden Guitars in one night including the big one, Album Of The Year, for their outstanding release, Country Heart. One of Australia's brightest new stars, Christie Lamb will also join Lee for his Backroad Nation Tour. Christie has notched up multiple number one hits on the charts; she was the Golden Guitar winner for New Talent Of The Year and in 2018 and was voted CMC Female Artist Of The Year.
Lee Kernaghan is considered a legend in the Australian music industry and for good reason. He has achieved a staggering 38 #1 chart hit songs including Boys From The Bush, Hat Town, Flying With The King, Australian Boy, Texas QLD 4385, Goondiwindi Moon, High Country and a veritable ute load of Golden Guitars, 37 in total. Lee has also won four ARIA Awards including The ARIA Special Achievement Award for the Spirit Of The Anzacs album—the Number One all genres album of 2015 and highest selling australian album of the year.
Tickets to the Backroad Nation Tour are on sale today. Lee Kernaghan's new album Backroad Nation is set for release on May 10 through ABC Music. The first single from the album, Wheels, is at radio today.
For more information, please visit Lee Kernaghan website.
