Handy and smells good!

The clothes are clean and soft. The best part though - It smells great even after washing and drying. It makes my laundry smell so good! Use 1 pod for small to medium loads and 2 pods for large to extra large loads. Before starting washing your clothes, you should know there's no need to open the pod. The outer film begins to dissolve the moment it touches water so be sure not to have wet hands. I am going to try some other fragrances too.
The best

Este producto me gusta muchísimo. A pesar de ser un producto 3en1 es muy eficaz en los 3 aspectos. Depende la cantidad de ropa a lavar y de lo sucia que esté, utilizo una o dos cápsulas. El resultado es fantástico, la ropa limpia, los tejidos suaves, y con un olor increíble. Muy recomendable, aunque yo prefiero el de Lavanda y Vainilla.

Vraiment le linge sent très bon, il n'y a aucun problème de dissolution dans le tambour. J'en rachèterai c'est sûr. peut-être vais-je essayer un autre parfum, même si celui-ci me plaît beaucoup.
Cleans great, rated B by EWG

These little pods work great when I use two in a big load of laundry. The smell is a little too floral and feminine for me. My staple is the lavender vanilla but they were out of stock so I order the gardenia. Would order again if I needed to but think I will stick with the lavender vanilla instead.

OVERLAND PARK, KS -- (Marketwire) -- 02/20/13 -- FireMon, the leading provider of security management and risk analysis solutions, today announced important new capabilities in Security Manager Version 7.0 that greatly improve organizational ability to identify, understand and manage changes in security posture -- in real-time. The new capabilities apply best practice models from FireMon's deep knowledgebase in security infrastructure management, with increased automation, customization and analytical capabilities. As a result, customers can more rapidly and effectively identify, assess and prioritize configuration and compliance issues -- and understand and address higher-level business risk.
Organizations live in a constant state of change -- from infrastructure evolution and device sprawl, to business and personnel upheaval. While point-in-time security and vulnerability assessments can provide a current snapshot of exposure, one employee addition/departure, a new VM or a change to a firewall rule can immediately render an assessment moot. To address this need for greater agility in security posture and risk assessment, the three main enhancements to Security Manager 7.0 include:
- Continuous Assessment - Offers active and continuous assessment of compliance and security posture to analyze and trend the effects of -- and, if necessary, alert on -- administrative and environmental changes in the enterprise.
- Best Practice Modeling - Moves from primarily device-centric to control-centric monitoring via prepackaged assessments from the FireMon knowledgebase, or custom assessment definition. Provides a higher-level view of data for quicker, more comprehensive assessments and a better understanding of the implications of change over time.
- Business Process Standardization - The first security and policy management platform to support the latest version of the Object Management Group's (OMG) Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) standard. Building on the BPMN 2.0 standard enables easy integration to existing business processes and solutions of FireMon's powerful firewall tools such as rule recommendation and analysis.
"Security and operational teams are stuck between a rock and a hard place," said Jon Oltsik, senior principal analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group. "On one side they face attackers that are highly skilled and automated, while the other side features a dynamic business environment where requirements for change are immediate and intolerant of extensive delays to accommodate security processes. Add in increasing external oversight and regulation, and the need for constant and granular monitoring of security state is imperative for security protection and risk management."
Security Manager 7.0 represents the latest innovative step from FireMon over the past year to fuse risk and posture management and to increase the intelligence and awareness provided to customers. The company was the first in the market last year to fully integrate real-time risk analysis with configuration, policy and change management, and then expanded that with a greater ability to analyze and visualize the behavior of network traffic. The introduction of continuous assessment into Security Manager greatly enhances organizational ability to quickly and efficiently manage changes, assess configurations and measure associated risks in real-time.
"While the old adage of 'learn from your mistakes' holds true in every job, the implications of even minor mistakes in security can have far reaching consequences -- and moreso the longer they go undetected," said Jody Brazil, president and CTO of FireMon. "And dangerous mistakes aren't limited to misconfiguration. Small, even valid, changes can have unexpected and unpredictable cascading effects farther along a network path. Additionally, overt focus on previous device and configuration errors can create tunnel vision that prevents oversight of other devices. Our goal with 7.0 was to provide a continuous and real-time posture 'reality check' that prevents errors in oversight by continuously assessing the infrastructure based on best practices."
Improving Organizational Posture
Security Manager 7.0 is about taking the power, intelligence and insight of the platform, and making it more immediate and actionable for both security and operations staff. By adding best practice-driven, continuous assessment, customers have a prioritized, single pane view of up-to-the-minute security posture that calls out issues to be addressed and their relative criticality. Additionally, with historical trending, operational ability to more effectively visualize, benchmark and manage change is greatly improved.
Leveraging FireMon's experience and expertise, the best practice knowledgebase comprises a library of hundreds of assessment controls to evaluate device configurations and network access policies. Security Manager 7.0 comes with a set of predefined assessments evaluating devices and networks against best practice and standard compliance regulations, as well as the ability for customer-defined assessments.
FireMon has further enhanced security and operations coordination with Policy Planner Version 3.0. It is the first product in the policy and risk management market to support the BPMN 2.0 standard, which has been adopted by industry leaders including Accenture, Capgemini, France Telecom, IBM, Oracle, Red Hat Software, SAP AG and Unisys. Enabling security management to be more easily integrated into business critical processes is vital for large organizations doing battle daily with deliberate and unintentional cyber attacks on their assets and information.
Visit FireMon during the RSA Conference at Booth 645 to preview Security Manager V7.0 and Policy Planner V3.0. Both will be available in early Q2 2013. Pricing starts at $20,000.

We as Christians realize that Jesus is our Source of hope. He provided for our salvation. But on what basis was that provision effective? Do you know? Let us consider several reasons.
Jesus is God – God the Son. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" John 1:1. Only God could perfectly reveal God. He is also the Creator. "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible . . . all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist" Colossians 1:16, 17. Creative power is needed to create in us a new heart and life. No one but the Creator God could do that.
Jesus became a man. He, "being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men" Philippians 2:6, 7. This was the only way He could live our life for us as a perfect example depending on our Father God every step of the way just as we must.
We do not have to fear the death referred to by Jesus as "sleep" because He experienced the second death for us. "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8. But in spite of His death for us, we would have been without hope, were it not for His resurrection. Jesus Himself proclaimed "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live" John 11:25. His resurrection assures us of life eternal through faith in Him.
While "all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags" Isaiah 64:6, the good news is that Christ provides His righteousness to cover us. "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption" 1 Corinthians 1:30.
Having completed the offering of Himself for us on earth, Jesus continues His work on our behalf as our heavenly Priest. "We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens" Hebrews 8:1
Truly, God has made known "the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: . . . which is Christ in you, the hope of glory" Colossians 1:26, 27.

PLEASANT PRAIRIE, WI (WTAQ) - Once again, Governor Scott Walker has chosen to sign Wisconsin's most important bill at a private industry instead of at the State Capitol.
Walker's office said Wednesday that the Republican governor will sign the two-year, 70-billion-dollar state budget on Sunday at Catalyst Exhibits in the Kenosha County community of Pleasant Prairie.
Two years ago, Walker broke from tradition by signing the budget at a Green Bay industry.
So far, the governor has refused to say which items he plans to veto – but his largest budget proposals are expected to remain, including a 650-million-dollar income tax cut and the expansion of private school vouchers.
Walker spokesman Tom Evenson said some of the governor's vetoes might be made public before Sunday.
As always, special interest groups and the minority party have lined up to urge Walker to veto the budget items they don't like.
This time, one of Walker's top fellow Republicans – Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen – joined the chorus of critics.
Van Hollen wants Walker to veto the return of bail bondsmen, and limits on the collecting of DNA from felony suspects who are arrested but not convicted.

Northern Colorado welcomes future Bears in early period
GREELEY -- Northern Colorado Athletics announced some new additions to its family this week during the NCAA's 2011 early signing period, which began Wednesday, Nov. 9, and runs through Wednesday, Nov. 16.
All of Northern Colorado's sports programs except for football, soccer, track and field and cross country are eligible to sign prospective student athletes during this period.
This release will grow before Wednesday, Nov. 16, as more and more future Bears put pen to paper and commit to Northern Colorado for the 2012-13 competition season.
Carl Iwasaki begins his second season as the head baseball coach at Northern Colorado by adding four players during the early NLI signing period. Iwasaki and his staff add two junior college transfers and two high school players to the roster for 2013.
"We are extremely excited to have these young men committed to be future Bears," said Iwasaki. "I know these student-athletes will represent our program well on the field, in the classroom and in the community."
Lucas Corrick, RHP, Lakewood, Colo. (North Central Texas College/Green Mountain HS)
Named to the 2011 Texas Junior College All-Star team… Went 4-1 with a 3.25 ERA in 2011, allowing just 10 walks in 41 innings pitched… Used as a starter, set-up and closer during his freshman season, recording two saves.
"Lucas is a pitcher who has plus command of four pitches," said Iwasaki. "He is a Colorado kid who can come in and help us immediately."
Matthew Loutzenhiser, LHP, Parker, Colo. (Ponderosa HS)
Caught the eye of the Bears' coaching staff at their prospect camp after throwing a mid-80's fastball and commanding three pitches for strikes… Helped lead the Mustangs to seventh-place at last year's state tournament… Walked just five batters and struck out 12 in 11.0 innings of work en route to a 2-0 record.
"Matt is a young man who is raw and we look forward to developing him more at the college level," Iwasaki stated. "We are excited to have him join us at UNC."
Tyler Kimbrough, INF, Tucson, Ariz. (Salpointe Catholic HS)
Hit .342 as a junior switch-hitter with seven doubles and two triples which amounted to a .493 slugging percentage… Was caught stealing just once (6-for-7) and recorded more walks than strikeouts… Helped lead the Lancers to a 23-8 overall and 10-2 conference record in 2011.
"Tyler is very disciplined at the plate," Iwasaki stated. "He can also play virtually any position on the field and will benefit the Bears program."
Nick Miller, INF/LHP, Loveland, Colo. (Northeastern JC/Nebraska/Mountain View)
Was the 2010 Class 4A Player of the Year by the Denver Post… Played in nine games as a freshman at Nebraska, starting in one… As a senior at Mountain View, hit .568 while going 9-0 on the mound with an astounding 0.76 ERA… Transferred to Northeastern and will play the 2012 season in Sterling.
"Nick is a physical kid," said Iwasaki. "We will count on him to make an immediate impact both on the mound and at the plate."
Fresh off a Big Sky Conference regular-season championship, the Northern Colorado women's basketball coaches turned their attention toward finding a group of new plaers who could continue the winning ways and help build a tradition of championships.
In the 2011 early signing period, the Bears inked three who head coach Jaime White thinks will fit into the philosophy of "winning championships in the classroom, on the court and in life."
White signed Kyleigh Hiser, Becca Howell and Bay'lee Purdy to National Letters of Intent and all three will enroll at Northern Colorado for fall semester 2012.
Kyleigh Hiser, 5-9, Guard, Laramie, Wyo. (Laramie HS)
Hiser is already a two-time all-conference selection and a 2011 all-State pick entering her senior season. She was also named the MVP of her team and a state all-tournament selection last year. A member of the National Honor Society, Hiser helped lead the Plainsmen to a pair of second-plac finishes in the 4A East Conference. In soccer, she plays both striker and defender and the team lost in the state championship game this year after winning the previous two.
Rebecca Howell, 6-1, Forward, Denver, Colo. (Bishop Machebeuf HS)
Howell is a two-time all-state honorable mention selection and two-time First-Team all-conference pick as she begins her senior years. She was also a team captain and named team MVP in 2011. In playing for her club team, Howell was named to the all-tournament teams at the Music City Madness and End of Oregon Trail tournaments. She is also a member of the National Honor Society and helped lead the Buffaloes to a sixth-place finish at state in 2011.
Bay'lee Purdy, 5-7, Guard, Agate, Colo. (Deer Trail)
A three-sport standout for the Eagles, Purdy has lettered four times in volleyball and three times each in basketball and track & field. On the basketball court, she is a two-time First-Team all-state selection as well as a three-tiem all-conference First-Team pick. Purdy is also a three-time honorable mention all-conference volleyball player and holds the school records in both the javelin and 800 meters. A member of the National Honor Society, she also holds 11 CHSAA basketball records and she and her club team won the 6 MAYB Tournament Championship in 2011.
Northern Colorado head coach B.J. Hill, after adding six scholarship players in his first recruiting class last season, added just one this year in dynamic guard Greg Tucker from Charleston High School in Charleston, Mo.
Tucker is a 6-foot-2, 190 pound wing player, whom Hill compares to current Bears redshirt-freshman Tevin Svihovec
Hill, working off a tip from a friend who used to coach in the Big Sky, first started recruiting Tucker during a trip to St. Louis in July but didn't get to watch him play much because of a hurt ankle. A subsequent trip to Missouri, though, resulted in the beginning of a great relationship.
Hill said he liked what he saw from Tucker on the court but really got interested after sitting down with him for a one-on-conversation.
"I sat down with him for about an hour-and-a-half and liked him even more," Hill said. "Then I went to his house and met his mom and loved the family and what they were about and thought he would fit in perfectly with what we're trying to do. I think he's a great addition to our program.
"He's a strong, athletic kid, who I think can bring a lot to us. We lose Mike [Proctor] next year, but we're pretty deep in our frontcourt, so we decided to go with another guard in this class. We'll just have to get a big in next year's class."
Tucker averaged 21 points and six rebounds per game last season and helped his Blue Jays, winners of 11 all-time Missouri state championships, to a third-place finish in Missouri Class 3. He also earned a spot on the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association Class 3 All-State First Team. He was one of just two juniors on the Class 3 First Team and joined current Northern Colorado freshman Tim Huskisson, who was a 2011 MBCA Class 4 First Team selection for Willard High School.
Toss in redshirt-freshman Tate Unruh (Branson, Mo.), and the Bears will suit up three players next season who prepped in the Show-Me State.
"I don't know what is," Hill said, "it's kind of become a weird deal. Southern Missouri all of a sudden has become a hotbed for us. All three are great kids—they have great character—and are really good players. They are all great additions to what we're trying to get done here."
Northern Colorado softball coach Mark Montgomery announced Friday, the signing of three players to National Letters of Intent while also securing the commitment of another future Bear for the 2012-13 season.
Hope Asbury, Jessica Ball, Katelynn Cook and Solana Archuleta have committed to be in a Northern Colorado uniform next season.
There is plenty of local flavor in Montgomery's newest class, as three of the four future Bears hale from Colorado. There is also a history of winning in this new class, with six state championships between the four players.
"They definitely know what winning is about and that's important," Montgomery said. "We want to get that winning mindset here and these four will definitely help continue to build our depth."
Hope Asbury, 5-5, Catcher, La Salle, Colo. (Valley High School)
Asbury has lettered in each of her four years while playing for the Vikings and coach Kevin Miles … While at Valley, she has helped lead her squad to back-to-back Colorado 3A state championships … This season, behind Asbury's leadership, the Vikings finished 24-1 and ended the season with a 12-game winning streak after beating Berthoud 6-4 in the season's final game … In that championship game, Asbury came through with the go-ahead RBI in the seventh inning … She definitely knows what it takes to build a winning program, as all four years, the Vikings found themselves in the Final Four of the 3A tournament … As a junior, she was named to the 3A All-State First Team … She finished her senior campaign as one of the top hitters in the state – batting .538 with one home run, 37 RBI and 42 hits … She also finishes her career with the most hits (134), runs (119), RBI (110) and doubles (38) in school history … She played club ball for the Northern Colorado Xplosion, Comets Gold and Triple Crown Stars Red.
"Hope Asbury is just an amazing leader," Montgomery said. "She's a wonderful kid from just around the corner at Valley High School. She is a tremendous player and I think she was one of the top hitters in the state."
Jessica Ball, 5-2, Infield, Thornton, Colo. (Legacy High School)
Ball lettered all four years during her time playing for Legacy High and coach Dawn Gaffin … As a junior, she was named to the All-Colorado squad … Ball also knows a thing or two about winning, as Legacy took home the 5A state title each of the four years Ball played … During her last season, she helped guide a young Legacy squad to a 24-2 record … As a senior, Ball scored the game-winning run in a 4-1 victory over Brighton … Another of Colorado's top offensive threats, Ball hit .562 while showing serious power with 11 home runs and 53 RBI … She will also see a familiar face once on the campus of Northern Colorado, as she played alongside current Bear Melissa Marcovecchio at Legacy … During her career, she was also named to two All-Region First Teams and was named the team captain as a senior … She played her club softball for the Stars Gold 18U and The Next Level 18U Gold.
"Jessica Ball is a fantastic hitter," Montgomery said. "She is probably one of the best hitters in Colorado, if not the best hitter in Colorado. She is a tremendous athlete and a very solid defensive player who is deceptively fast."
Katelynn Cook, 5-6, Centerfield/ Second Base, Chowchilla, Calif. (Chowchilla Union High School)
Cook is the only non-Colorado player in this year's class … She has lettered in each of her first three years at Chowchilla Union High School … She is yet to play out her senior season, as California high school softball plays in the spring … Cook is another player coming into the Northern Colorado program that knows what it takes to win … Last season, as a junior, Cook helped deliver Chowchilla's first Central Section Division 4 title since 1994 … In the Redskin's 11-1 win in the championship, Cook scored their first two runs with a two-run single in the bottom of the first … As a junior, Cook batted .419 with 20 RBI while slugging .644 … In both 2010 and 2011, she was named to the All-League First Team … As a sophomore, Cook was named Chowchilla Union's Underclasswoman of the Year.
"Katelynn Cook is a fantastic outfielder and power hitter from California," Montgomery said. "She has an incredible arm and great defensive awareness and ability. She also brings a good stick too. We're excited about the possibilities she brings to the table."
Solana Archuleta, 5-4, Pitcher/ Outfield, Arvada, Colo. (Ralston Valley High School)
Archuleta lettered two years while playing for the Mustangs and coach Wendy Davies … She was also a two-year letter winner in tennis at Ralston Valley … She has committed to play for the Bears in 2012 … As a junior, Archuleta helped Ralston Valley to a third place finish in the Colorado 5A state tournament … Also in her junior season, she earned All-Conference Honorable Mention and qualified for the Academic All-State team … As a freshman and sophomore, Archuleta was named All-Conference in tennis … She is also a four-time honor roll member.
"Solana Archuleta is a versatile athlete from Ralston Valley," Montgomery said. "She can pitch or play outfield and she has good speed. She probably won't pitch for us, but she will be able to contribute right away in different ways. We'll work with her as an outfielder and as a hitter and polish those skills. She's been pitching for so long, we're just getting around to her playing other positions."
Northern Colorado coach Lyndsey Benson headed out to Pocatello, Idaho, on Thursday afternoon for Friday night's crucial road match at Idaho State.
But before she and the Bears rolled out of Greeley she put the finishing touches on a four-player class, including a "Diamond" and a "Champion."
Benson will say goodbye after this season to five players, so she restocked her shelf Thursday with an outside hitter in Katie Champion (Logansport, Ind.), defensive specialist in Kendra Cunningham (Eaton, Colo.), a 6-1, left-handed setter in Allie Hutcheson (Cedar Rapids, Iowa), and a middle blocker in Diamond Ridley-Pierce (Pasadena, Calif.).
"This class will add a lot of depth to our roster," Benson said. "They have size, athleticism and will be pivotal in our continued success."
Champion is a 6-footer and will come to Greeley following a standout career for coach Jamee Jones and the Logansport Berries. She has three older brothers who have all played or still play college basketball.
She was honored as the Loganland Volleyball Player of the Year in 2010 and was named to the Indiana Junior North All-Star team. She finished among Indiana high school leaders in kills (448) and aces (91) as a junior.
She played club volleyball for the Lafayette Volleyball Academy (LAVA), which finished 38th out of 142 teams during June's national tournament in Orlando, Fla.
"Katie is a very talented outside hitter who can play six rotations," Benson said. "She has good enough size to be a great blocker, has a very fast arm and great ball-control skills. We will look for big things from Katie during her career."
Cunningham likely holds a special spot in Benson's heart, as she hails from Benson's hometown of Eaton, just a 10-minute drive from the Northern Colorado campus. She's showcased a great ability as a hitter for the Eaton Reds and the NORCO volleyball club, but Benson eyes her contributing for the Bears as a defensive player.
So far in her career she's earned a pair of Colorado Class 3 All-State nods, including a First Team selection as a junior and a Honorable Mention pick as a sophomore.
She'll bring a great blend of athleticism to the Bears having earned letters at Eaton in volleyball, track and tennis.
"Kendra is a great utility player because she is a very successful hitter at the high school and club level, but could make an immediate impact for us as a defensive player," Benson said. "She is a very smooth player who will adjust to the college game very quickly."
Hutcheson figures to be the heir-apparent to current Northern Colorado setter Marissa Hughes, who has earned two All-Big Sky Conference Second Team selections.
Hutcheson will be the tallest setter Benson has had on her roster since the Bears joined the NCAA Division I ranks, and she will bring with her an impressive résumé to go along with her height and handedness, which Benson says, "Speaks for itself."
She has been a standout player for Cedar Rapids Kennedy High and coach Michelle Goodall and earned a spot on the 2011 Iowa State All-Tournament Team as well as selections to the USA Volleyball National All-Tournament Team in 2009 and 2011 after her club team, the Iowa Rockets, finished third in the nation.
She's also considered one of Iowa's top five recruits this season, as ranked by PrepVolleyball.com, and is likely to be considered for the 2011-12 Gatorade Volleyball Player of the Year in Iowa.
"What we love about her is her competitiveness and her leadership skills," Benson said. "She still has a lot of room for growth, too. Allie is going to have an outstanding career here at UNC."
The final piece to Benson's early-period haul is Ridley-Pierce, who Benson characterizes as a "raw talent with a ton of potential." In earlier conversations, Benson also talked about the personality and character Ridley-Pierce will bring to Northern Colorado Volleyball.
Ridley-Pierce, a 6-foot-1 standout at La Salle, a private school in California's San Gabriel Valley, was voted the Lancers' Most Improved player recently, and she was honored as a First Team All-Del Rey League selection.
La Salle boasted in the first week of November a 26-4-1 record in the Del Rey League, which plays in California's Class 2AA Division.
In an online story in the Pasadena Star-News in early September, Ridley-Pierce was described as, "… perhaps the most dominant middle blocker in the West Valley." Benson said she is excited to see that translate to Northern Colorado.
"[Diamond] is a left-handed middle, which is very unique and will be tough for teams to adjust to," she said. "She is also a huge blocker. She is going to be a fun player to watch."

In a country that has little place for a woman's voice, Yemen – and the rest of the world - was stunned when Yemeni women took to the streets to draw attention to their suffering. Women played an important role in the Yemeni uprisings against dictatorship. From the Yemeni film-maker Khadija Al-Salami, whose films focus on women's issues and corruption, THE SCREAM examines the aftermath of their participation: they hoped for democracy, but what did they ultimately achieve?

Three things that youth of the mountain should never have to think about. Why? Because that wonderful white stuff is beckoning and there are more important things to do. Like getting messy, turning your back on the rules, and going fast without fear of failure. And there's nothing better to do it on than the freshly fallen canvas Mother Nature provided. White for now, but soon to be painted with the blur of vibrant energy and colorful flurry that comes with having a killer time on the slopes.

Long Strapless Chiffon Dress with Pleated Bodice Style F15555 29 30
Most Beautiful Dress Ever I purchased this dress for my Maid of Honor, my daughter, in Canary, and she absolutely loves it and looks absolutely beautiful in it. The color was perfect and although the fit was a little long we don't mind because otherwise it goes on perfect for the occasion and it looks beautiful on her tanned skin. I love it. The other bridesmaids have the same style in Horizon (blue) and they will all look ravishing! The dream wedding is all coming together slowly...it's 60 days away. September 8, 2014
poorly done Davids Bridal This is a very cheaply made dress. I ordered a size larger and it looks like an ill fitting potato sack. The zipper stuck first just trying to unzip it to put it on and then stuck in the same place trying to put it on. I ended up having to force it zipped off my body and pull it on over my head. The fabric reminds me of childhood princess dresses. . . cheap, cheap, cheap. My seamstress is having to remake the whole thing. Never again September 7, 2014
Not the same as in store For some reason, the sizes between online and in-store are different. I sent my bridesmaid to her local DB store to be fitted so I could order her the dress online. She tried on a size 12 and it fit her perfectly in the store, so I ordered her a size 12 online and it was way to small. Now we have to reorder the dress in a bigger size and have to pay for return shipping. The dress is beautiful and really very lovely, it is just annoying that the online size would be different. My other 2 bridesmaids ordered the same dress in different sizes from the store and had no issues. September 4, 2014
Average I was measured at the David's Bridal store and I was a size 2-4. I decided to go with the 2, but when I got this dress, it was still very loose on me which I can't find a reason why. I am going to have to get it altered. August 5, 2014

Reports that a single punch from a teenage soccer player killed a referee in a recreational league in Utah sent shock waves across the sporting world. The shock, of course, was from the fact that the man died. It could be no shock that the punch occurred — simply because reports of violent outbreaks at youth sporting events have become commonplace. Too often, they're written off as isolated incidents or the product of excess competitiveness. Now, with the death earlier this month of Utah referee Ricardo Portillo, the sports world has to start treating violent outbursts as a problem in and of itself.
Portillo, 46, a furniture company worker and volunteer referee, was hit by an irate 17-year-old player, who was angry after a call went against him. The assailant, whose name has not been released, now faces a third-degree felony homicide by assault charge.

Levels and Course Numbering of & Enrollment in Courses
OFFICE OF RECORD: Office of Vice President for Academic Affairs
ISSUED BY: Registrar/Dean of Graduate Studies & Research
EFFECTIVE DATE: 09/12/88 (Last Revised: 11/28/06)
Every course offered by Dakota State University has a designated course prefix and a three-digit course number. The course prefix indicates the academic discipline; the three-digit number indicates the difficulty of the course content and, as a consequence, the academic year in which the course should be taken.
Lower-level courses (numbered 100- and 200-level) generally require no or limited prerequisite background in the discipline. Upper-level courses (numbered 300- and 400-level) build on the background of the lower-level courses and typically have course prerequisites that must be completed prior to enrollment in upper-level courses. Graduate courses (numbered 500-, 600-, 700-, and 800-level) are restricted to students who have successfully completed a bachelor's degree.
Dakota State University adheres to the common course numbering system developed at the BOR system level, as one means of facilitating student transfer of credit between institutions.
001-099 level courses Pre-college, remedial skills, special improvement (non-degree credit)
100 level courses Freshman
200 level courses Sophomore
300 level courses Junior
400 level courses Senior
500 level courses Entry level graduate; may be dual listed with a 400 level undergraduate course and may include limited enrollment by undergraduates
600 level courses Graduate level; open to undergraduates only by exception approved by VPAA
700 level courses Graduate level; open to graduate students only.
800 level courses Doctoral and Post-doctoral level; open to doctoral and post-doctoral students only
Undergraduate Students taking Graduate Courses
Undergraduate students who have completed a minimum of 96 credit hours may enroll in a limited number of 500-level courses. The Vice President for Academic Affairs may grant an exception for enrollment in a 600-level course. The student shall pay graduate tuition and the course shall be recorded on a graduate transcript. These graduate courses may apply to an undergraduate degree.
(Refer to BOR Policy 2:8 Level and Numbering of and Enrollment in Courses for a more detailed explanation of course levels and enrollment policies for different course levels.)

Situated in Nagano, Japan, House in Yatsugatake lies on a sloping mountain ridge on the edge of the Yatsugatake mountains. Designed by Kidosaki Architects Studio, the main purpose of the house was to make the best use of the stunning views the land offered. Arranged to maximize the horizontal scenery, the house sits on a large structural column and is supported with two diagonal bracing cylinders to create the feeling that the house is floating while offering unobstructed views. The overhanging portion is clad in glass on three sides with a full balcony around, allowing the impressive landscape to be taken in. The peaceful tranquility of the mountain location is carried through to wood and marble furnished interiors, completing the zen vibe of the home.

This story is featured in today's TimesFreePress newscast.
Two lawmen say a pamphlet that informed people of their Fourth Amendment rights cost them their jobs.
Chattooga County sheriff's resource officer Jeremy Reece and Summerville police officer Josh Brock launched a referral service website called Uncle Wiggy's. The site also offered a pamphlet called "Uncle Wiggy's Secret Guide to Dealing with the Police," and the officers said they were forced to resign before their supervisors read what was inside it.
"Well hello niece or nephew, welcome to the family, I'm your Uncle Wiggy!" the pamphlet began. "I've spent the better part of thirty years in law enforcement. I've gained a lot of knowledge and experience over my career and I want to share it with you."
The pamphlet gave members a list of their Fourth Amendment rights along with tips such as when you can refuse police access to your home or vehicle.
Neither Brock nor Reece thought to mention their side business to their supervisors before they were confronted in late June.
"When you arrest somebody you have to advise them of their rights. I didn't think a pamphlet would be anything," Brock said.
Both officers spoke out Thursday after public criticism erupted in the county, they were called unfit to be in law enforcement and the controversy shut down state court for a day earlier this week.
Chattooga County Solicitor Sanford "Buddy" Hill was accused of being unethical for advertising on the website and in the pamphlet, since he prosecutes misdemeanor crimes in the county.
Yet, after Chattooga County Sheriff Mark Schrader got his hands on a copy of the pamphlet, he said he couldn't find anything unethical or anything untrue inside.
Schrader said Reece was confronted because the website and pamphlet violated the sheriff's office employee code of conduct and ethics policy by referring people to businesses such as bonding and tow truck companies. The sheriff said Reece asked to resign before the department launched an investigation.
But Reece said he wasn't told a reason why he had to resign except that: "I had lost the public's trust and that it was anti-law enforcement."
Now Brock and Reece, who shut down the website after they lost their jobs, said they are looking into whether their First Amendment rights were violated.
"It's a principled matter about freedom of speech," said John Dennis, who also advertised in the pamphlet and is looking into the matter for the officers.
While officers launching such a website doesn't violate state law, it doesn't look good for a law enforcement department, experts said.
"I don't know if I'd call it unethical, but it sends up red flags," Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council spokesman Ryan Powell said.
But there is a state law that prohibits secondary employment by police officers without permission from supervisors, he said.
Brock said he got the idea to start a referral service more than 10 years ago when he worked at the county jail. He said he watched as inmates couldn't call long-distance from the jail and sometimes would have to sit in their cells before they could get help.
In January, Brock said, he approached Reece about starting up a company that would have a 1-800-number to help criminals get the information they needed on bonding companies and such. They said they didn't plan to refer people to one company but would go down a list of services and give out information.
The officers sold multiple ads costing between $500 and $650 each to local companies, defense attorneys and even to state Rep. Tom Weldon, R-Ringgold, who also is a defense attorney.
But the business never got off the ground, and Brock said he sent the money back to the advertisers. Now they will look into what can be done, but both ex-lawmen said they are shocked by the response.
"They judged its book by its cover," Reece said.

AS TEMPTING AS IT IS ON A CHILLY MORNING, DON'T DO IT. "Well, don't leave your car by itself running. You just can't do it right now. If you bundle up and sit in the car until the windows defrost until you drive away, but just don't leave it alone." THERE IS AN ORDINANCE IN THE CITY OF GREER..

Avalanche Briton was climbing ace
Jul 13 2012
A respected climber was one of three Britons killed in a major avalanche in the French Alps.
Roger Payne was a mountain guide and former general secretary of the British Mountaineering Council (BMC).
Dave Turnbull, the current chief executive of the BMC, said: "The mountaineering world is shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic death of Roger Payne, former BMC general secretary and former president of the British Mountain Guides. Roger was one of the UK's most enthusiastic and respected climbers, with a track record of Alpine and Himalayan mountaineering stretching back to the 1980s. Our thoughts are with Roger's friends and family - in particular his wife, Julie-Ann."
The avalanche happened at around 13,123ft (4,000m) on Mont Maudit in the Mont Blanc range near Chamonix, according to the BMC's website.
There were at least 28 people on the route, who left just after a 1am breakfast. The avalanche came down from the Mont Maudit slope at about 5.30am.
Two British climbers and two Spaniards who were reported missing after the avalanche were confirmed by local police as being alive and well when they presented themselves at the police station in Chamonix on Thursday evening.
The four survivors had changed their climbing route on Mont Maudit, police said. It is not clear whether the two British men and two Spaniards turned around, or simply changed their routes, but they are healthy, police said.

Hot or Not: Watermelon Drink Dispenser
For those of you who love the idea of having a drink dispenser for entertaining but don't want to store it between parties, this DIY's for you! Great for summer parties, this drink dispenser and beverage in one is easy and compostable. See the how-to after you vote!
From Mod Mischief on Instructables, here are the directions on creating your own watermelon drink dispenser:
From the hardware store:
- Hose Bibb, Quarter Turn (that's the tap)
- Faucet Lock Nuts (those black circles)
- Brass Pipe Nipple 1/2" (the piece with threads on both ends)
- Coupling 1/2" (what looks like a hex nut)
- Drill bit (optional)
- Cut a small hole in the top of the melon large enough to accommodate an ice cream scoop and your hand.
- Remove all the yummy insides and place in a blender.
- Drill a hole in the bottom/side of the watermelon large enough to accommodate the brass pipe nipples.
- Attach your hardware (hose bibb on the outside, coupling on the inside).
- Blend the watermelon "meat" with whatever else and fill your new dispenser.
Visit Instructables to see complete details.

Hey that's my melon!
I blogged about it here: http://modmischief.blogspot.com/2009/08/id-tap-that.html
Didn't want to vote for not--hot, but it's not very feasible. Most of us have pitchers that size. Now if the watermelon were really large (like a 5 gal capacity or more) then you'd be talkin'! But - at that size and capacity, the pressures of the juice on the valve may be more than the watermelon skin can endure over a 3-4 hour party period.
Seems a little silly...but fun!
Love it!

There is an adage that if something is too good to be so, then probably it is so. The foreclosure crisis has erupted like a tsunami in America and the irony is that there are many fishing in troubled waters – preying on the people. Taking advantage of the situation the fraudsters are tempting their victims with false hop. Thousands of troubled homeowners desperately trying to find land are falling for these hoaxers. It is better to be forearmed for prevention is always better than cure.
The first thing is to check out on those offering help prior to handing over either information or dollars to any entity – whether an individual or a firm. It is imperative to do the homework before committing yourself to any rescue scheme. The checking can be done with protection agency of the state, the Better Business Bureau, with the local credit union or the bank itself. Find out if the firm has a license. Have any complaints been lodged with the relevant state agencies against it? Does the lender know about the credentials of this firm?
Do not rush into signing anything. Go slow. Comb through all that you are being asked to sign. These hoaxers gamble on the fact that you are desperate and surmise that in such a state of mind you will not scrutinize the papers. You should read them but that will not be enough – seek the help of a friend or legal personnel. It should be somebody conversant with the happenings in the mortgage world. Thus the golden rule is never to sign any paper that you fail to understand and least of all any paper that is blank or has blank spaces, errors or wrong statements. Do not listen to talk about correcting them later on.
You must protect your own rights. Whatever the other person promises – get it in writing. The house is the most important asset in your life and as such verbal assurances just will not suffice. Insist that the representative of the firm gives a written contract stating all the promises being made and keep copies of all the papers you sign.
Always continue with your mortgage payments. Give it directly to the servicer or the lender. Do not rely on anyone making the payments on your behalf. Many fraudsters have taken this angle and asked the homeowners to hand over the payment to them promising that they will deal with the bank. They usually swallow the dollars and make your delinquent position worse.
Be doubly cautious about any scammer wanting you to sign off the deed of your house. These so-called rescuers often explain that you hand over the deed temporarily. The situation is deadly. You will find yourself sans the property but loaded with all the dues pertaining to it.
Be cautious about any advance fees. No organization can legally ask for upfront fees. Unfortunately many have fallen for this trap in their hurry to overcome problems.
Any sort of dubitable activity should be reported. Contact the office of the attorney general of your state and report any suspicious overtures of help. The Federal Trade Commission can also be contacted. There are other local agencies dealing with consumer protection. If you do so you will prevent others from falling into the mire.
It is however a harsh fact that one man's poison is meat for another. These vultures prey upon the dying and are wolves in sheep clothing. Even in desperate times one should remain calm to make the best of a bad situation and not make it worse.

Camilla Belle wore Brian Atwood Hamper pumps to the premiere of 'Cavemen' held at ArcLight Cinemas in Los Angeles. They feature black silk satin, double platform and towering 150mm heel. Hamper is available (on sale!) in black & teal suede at Pink Mascara or gold leather with black lattice overlay at Farfetch.
She posed wearing a Christian Dior wide leg trousers and trapeze top with a half moon neckline, graphic floating lily landscape front panel and long draped open back from the Pre-Fall 2014 collection. The top is beautiful but I wish she paired it with these slim leg cigarette trousers (from the same collection).
Even though I'm not crazy about the overall outfit her hair & makeup = perfection and I especially love the orchid lip. She also accessorized with a Smythson signature Soho box clutch and David Yurman jewelry including Grisaille hematine earrings.

Signed, sealed and delivered: The 2012 election
Published on Wed, Nov 7, 2012 by
Pat Grubb

Local voters in Blaine, Birch Bay and Point Roberts pretty much mirrored the nation Tuesday with 50.8 percent casting their ballot to re-elect Barack Obama as President of the United States.
Closer to home, they were not as consistent when it came to the rest of the slate, mostly slewing more conservative than the rest of the county and state. While both U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell and Congresswoman-elect Suzan DelBene received a majority of local votes, other Democratic candidates did not fare as well.
In the gubernatorial race, area voters gave Democrat Jay Inslee only 47 percent of the vote, compared to Whatcom County's 52 percent vote in favor and 51 percent for the rest of the state. Similarly, Attorney General-elect Bob Ferguson, a Democrat, received 50 percent locally compared to 54 percent from the rest of the county and 53 percent for the state as a whole.
State representative and former Blaine city council member Jason Overstreet received 53 percent locally; the rest of the county voted 54 percent to send him back to Olympia. Fellow district 42 representative Vincent Buys ran two points behind the rest of county residents who reelected him with close to 54 percent of the ballots cast. Local voters were more enthusiastic when it came to several initiatives on the ballot, outreaching county and state voters when marking yes on the charter school and marijuana measures.
Voters expecting a long night waiting for the presidential race to be decided were pleasantly surprised when the race was called early in the evening
Closer to home in Lynden, at an event hosted by Buys, Overstreet and Republicans to thank supporters and campaign workers, the crowd milled anxiously, as Fox News droned in the background and the projectionist repeatedly refreshed the browser on his laptop to get the latest, up-to-the-minute results. Buys remained calm and collected though, joking with his sister and niece. And, even before the Whatcom County Auditor announced the results, he felt confident in his victory. "I'm feeling good," he said with a laugh. "I've been eating food, shaking hands and kissing babies."

Item has a Minimum Qty
For more information on water aerobic gloves, read Intro to Water Aerobic Gloves
Great! Easy to put on, custom fit with the Velcro closure...wonderful to use to move through the water. I do not love Velcro because it will stitch--catch onto--fabrics like my wetsuit when it is open, but it does allow for a quick and easy fit.
Bought for use in water aerobics. Perfect fit and very effective resistance.
Eventually, the velcro latch/catch will wear, necessitating you to buy another pair of gloves. However a very good product.
I had size medium before, and the large fits better. perfect for swimming
These gloves are comfortable, cuts through the water wonderfully while protecting my hands from the sun. I am very happy with your product.
Always a great fit. I have average hand and take medium
I think these fit snug but they are great!
Provides just the resistance I need for water aerobics class. They are strong and fit very well. Beautiful blue color is now gray after just 2 weeks of classes (5x week = 10 classes) But they work so I would order again.
I like the new swim gloves I received. They fit just right and it helps put more resistance on my arms while swimming laps at our new indoor pool at Nellis AFB, Nevada. Love em!!!!
My hands thank you.

Tax-break checklist: Home, charity, work
Make sure you're getting all the deductions you should for your mortgage, charity efforts and work life. But don't raise any red flags.
This post is by Matt Twomey at CNBC.com.
You probably realize there are tax breaks related to your home, your charitable giving and your work — but you may be eligible for more than you know.
And then there are some deductions that could raise red flags for the IRS and get your return kicked back to you — or worse, trigger an audit.
Two simple rules that can save a lot of hassle are 1) Don't be sloppy; take your time to avoid careless mistakes; and 2) Think like the IRS, which likes matching numbers. If your mortgage deduction claim is different than what the bank reported, for example, red flags will rise.
Most of the guidance below about maximizing deductions while avoiding the pitfalls is for those who itemize, so here's one tip from Jim Smith, a Dallas CPA, for those who take the standard deduction: The state tax refund you got last year, if you did not itemize, is not taxable income, so don't report it as such — never mind the Form 1099-G. The federal tax refund is what you overpaid last year and not taxable either.
Home mortgages and refinancing
If you're like most Americans, mortgage interest is the most significant deduction on your tax return. For many, it's the break that makes it worthwhile to itemize rather than take the standard deduction, and it's very popular.
Congressmen and pundits who have lately singled it out as a target in national debt talks know that it's a politically perilous road.
For now, the deduction's there, so make the most of it. In addition to payments for mortgage interest and taxes, premiums on mortgage insurance and interest charges on late payments are deductible, advises Smith.
A little-known break for home buyers, Smith says, is that even if your seller paid the "points" for your home mortgage as part of the closing, that prepaid interest is still deductible for the buyer.
Also, at a time when many homeowners are refinancing thanks to low interest rates, keep in mind that you must amortize the points over the life of the loan, explains Mary Canning, dean of the Schools of Taxation and Accounting at Golden Gate University.
That is, if in your second year of owning a home you refinance and pay one point on a $500,000, 30-year loan, you're limited to amortizing the $5,000 of points over 30 years.
The amortization begins in the month the refinancing is done and points are paid. So if the refi occurs in September the calculation is this: Four months in the year from September, divided by 360 months of the loan, multiplied by 5,000 in points (4/360 x 5000)—which equals $56 in eligible deductible points.
If in year 3 you refinance again in January, you've retired that earlier loan and can deduct the unamortized points of $4,944 ($5,000 minus $56).
Charity and giving back
Most people don't forget to deduct their charitable contributions, says Canning. "But many miss the mileage," she says. Driving you've done as volunteer — whether for Meals on Wheels or picking up an elderly neighbor for church — can be deducted at 14 cents a mile. (You cannot deduct the cost of driving yourself and your family to church — that's not an act of charity.)
It's best if you've kept a mileage log. But in a pinch, if you have a record showing you made the trips and online maps to calculate the distance, it's still a legitimate deduction.
In the same vein, a scout leader can deduct the cost of her uniform and a volunteer can deduct the miles for visiting a shut-in.
You can deduct expenses — mileage and more — for a volunteer excursion for Habitat for Humanity or the like, if you didn't do any vacationing along the way. Housing a foreign exchange student is worth up to $50 a month.
A churchgoer can deduct the amount of his tithe — but only if he's got a record of it. And for any amount over $250, that means a receipt stipulating that the giver received no benefit for his contribution. Even under the threshold, use checks so you have a record. Unsubstantiated claims of cash in the collection plate don't fly.
Red flags: Claims of large gifts of appreciated property get the attention of the IRS.
Also, if you donate a box of clothing to the Salvation Army, the IRS assumes everything included is valued for a thrift shop. So you may have paid $1,000 for a dress, but that doesn't mean you can claim a $500 value when you donate it. The only way around this is a professional appraisal.
On-the-job deductions
Many Americans have been on the job hunt, and the government allows deductions for that pursuit, but only if those expenses — which include resume preparation services, printing and mailing costs, travel expenses, etc. — exceed 2% of gross income. And if it's your first job hunt, you don't qualify.
If you landed the job but had to relocate, you can deduct unreimbursed moving expenses. Keep in mind that the new job must be 50 miles farther from your previous residence than your old office.
For the self-employed, there's a lot to track. A home office can make for a handsome deduction, but auditors have been known to demand proof of the space and its exclusive business use. Keep records and don't get cute.
However, Canning says deductions for a legitimate home office can go beyond the obvious; don't forget bills for water, garbage, housekeeping and even gardening, with all amounts determined by the percentage of the residence taken by the workspace.
Also, consider business-related expenses of your automobile, depreciating office equipment, continuing education, and entertainment and restaurant tabs.
For cellphones and computers, your best bet to avoid the auditor's red pen is by having ones you use exclusively for work. Mixed-use devices muddy the waters.

Are Your Messages Remembered Long-Term?
Electrical memory is short-term. It's the thought you are thinking right nowģ no, right now ģ get it? It's imagination, the ability to see possibilities in your mind. It is temporary by nature; the RAM of the human computer that is your brain.
When you go to sleep, your brain powers down, and most of what is in electrical memory gets lost during the nighttime (kinda like when a PC is switched off and short-term memory, RAM, disappears). Sleep causes the information in electrical memory to fade according to its relevance. More important information doesn't fade as fast as the trivial stuff.
Here we stand ģ the possibilities of email messaging in one hand, the nature of memory in the other. So the critical question is this: How relevant are your short-term messages? Better still, how relevant are the messages you want your customers to remember over the long haul? How can you make sure your prospect is going to remember you the morning after?
Electrical memory is of limited capacity. If you try to add an item to it, the new item pushes out a previous, less-relevant one. Imagine aiming a fire hose at a teacup. ALL the information coming at you - TV, Radio, Web pages, Newspapers, Emails, Billboards, Direct mail, Fliers, Music, plus what your kid swapper her peanut butter and jelly sandwich for at school - is the water consistently and vigorously trained on the teacup (a.k.a. your brain, or more specifically, your electrical memory). Some of the water stays in the teacup; the rest spills out. Relevance determines which "water drops" stay in - you store in electrical memory only that information thatÆs important to you at a certain moment in time.
Once you get a message to stay inside the teacup, the human computer works on transferring it from electrical to chemical memory.
Chemical memory is long-term, stored memory ģ it's all the things that you can remember. It's like your computerÆs hard disk. If you really need to store your data so you can get it back, you save it to the hard disk before you power down your computer. Unlike the ephemeral RAM of electrical memory, chemical memory is the repository of ōknown informationö from the hard drive of the human computer.
Chemical memory, business-wise, is ōtop of mind awarenessö; it is being the company your customers think of first and feel best about whenever they need your products or whenever your product category is named. In other words, branding.
Advertisers try to ōwhip people into actionö with the urgency of a limited-time offer. They can be sure at best, that if their message is relevant, it will stay in electrical memory only until the expiration date, after which it will be erased forever from the brain.
When an advertiser focuses effort on limited-time offers, the only thing that makes it into chemical memory is: ōthis advertiser makes limited-time offers.ö In essence, the advertiser is training the customer to ask, ōWhen does this go on sale?ö Surely you're in business for something grander than that!
Three things can be done to increase the transfer of a message from electrical memory to chemical memory:
Ę Increase the relevancy of the message
Ę Increase the frequency of its repetition
Ę Increase the relevancy of the message and the frequency of its repetition
Branding is accomplished only when you have a relevant message that is repeated with enough frequency to become securely stored in chemical memory.
Buy-now messages are immediate, direct response-type messages by nature, while build-identity messages are aimed at meeting deeper, more long-term goals. And it is possible for your communications to do both. You can convey, in the same communication, a powerful, long-term branding message accompanied by one or more short-term, direct response messages. Putting all your eggs in the Short-Term Message Basket will lead you nowhere. Without strong, long-term, brand-building messages integrated into your communications, you are harming your chances for long-term success.
Remember, some of the people receiving your messages donÆt need what you sell right now. What are you saying to them? How are you making them feel? Who will they buy from when their need arises?

October 31 is Halloween. On Halloween, children wear costumes and go trick-or-treating. They knock on doors and say "Trick or treat." The person who opens the door gives the children candy. The children say "Thank you." Adults like Halloween, too. They like to wear costumes to work and attend parties. Orange and black are popular Halloween colors. Orange is the color of pumpkins and black is the color of darkness. Halloween is a fun holiday, but it is not a federal holiday. (3 pages)
