In this week's Crime Stoppers case we have some pretty good video and pictures of our suspect and, as always, a chance for you to rake in up to a thousand dollars reward cash.
We will call him the Roller Rink Bandit. Why? Because after hours one evening in June, trouble visited the Hamilton Skate Place.
It was after closing at the rink off Gunbarrel and Goodwin Road. Surveillance video shows him hit the ticket office. When he cannot get a drawer to open, he seems to know just where to shine his flashlight beam to find a key.
"This guy knows his way around this place," explained Chattanooga Police Sgt. Daniel Jones. "He's been in the Skate Place before."
The key he found was apparently not the right one, so he headed into the concession area in search of something else.
He returns and finally pries the drawer open. He does not appear to find anything of value in that particular drawer, but he did manage to take a few items from the pro shop; one of which may easily get anyone's attention.
"It's gonna be quite obvious for even a pawn shop owner." said Sgt. Jones, "You know, a young kid, and we're talking between probably the ages of 19 to about 22 to 23 years old coming in with a brand new bowling ball, wanting to pawn one."
Police believe he is a black male, around 19 to 23 years old, 6-feet tall, weighing maybe 160 pounds. Even though he chose to wear a lady's stocking over his head and face, you can still make out the part in his hair and a bit of a tattoo on the back and left side of his neck.
"He's also walking around in a very distinct way," Jones added. "He's very purposed whenever he's walking. Now, that could be one of two things. He could actually be knowing what he's going to get, to steal and/or, you know, he does that all the time."
Now it is time to get you paid. Your good tip is worth up to $1,000 in reward cash, and you will remain complete anonymous. Call Crime Stoppers: 698-3333
Remember: an officer may answer the phone or return your call, but he will never ask your identity.
Bigom's sentence for the murder is life in prison; the additional four years is the abuse of a corpse.

Both Companies offer premium grade window systems but Gorrell Window Products are made from vinyl whereas Marvin-Infinity Products are made from Fiberglass-technologies most advanced material.

Every window that we sell is made with quality, so whether you choose vinyl or fiberglass, rest assured you are getting the best products available in our industry.
How much does it cost to install a window?
The cost of window installation is dependent on the size of the window, the window options & brand you choose, and the details of the installation. There is no simple answer to that question, one of our professionals will need to measure the opening and find out the project details from you to be able to estimate on the cost of installation. Please give us a call and we would be happy to come to your home or the job site and give you an estimate on your project.

What is the lead time on installation?
Generally installation will occur 4-6 weeks after you sign up with us. We expect 2-3 weeks for a normal shipment to arrive from the manufacturer and then weather permitting; we will schedule installation following product arrival.

- Outstanding ServicefrequentdinerDined on 9/26/2014Fleming's always has outstanding food and service. One thing to be aware of if you are planning on dining there anytime soon is that they are currently remodeling the entire restaurant. This work has just begun, and it did not affect our dining experience at all.Special Features:
- 40th party dinnernashfoodieDined on 9/14/2014For our friends birthday we chose to take him to Fleming's. He had never been and loves a good steak. We had a great time and most of our dinner was fantastic. Unfortunately, two of the members in our group had to send their fillets back because they were not cooked as requested. The staff was outstanding and the environment was great. We will go back but may give it a break for a while.Special Features:
- Flemingsodom5Dined on 9/14/2014You can't go wrong eating here. The wait staff is great, timing is excellent and the food memorable.Special Features:
- Nice resturantdiva1Dined on 9/13/2014The waiter was very helpful and attentive. The food was great. I would go back.Special Features:
- The bestLarryCrabtreeVIPDined on 9/12/2014First time at Fleming was somewhat familiar because it is always recommended in Wine Spectator magazine. I loved playing spin the bottle to select my wine on their tablet wine list recommendations. The waiters were so attentive to our every need . Appetizer was large prawns they were beautiful. Soups french onion and clam chowder wonderful. Salad includes beets and tomatoes they were so fresh. main course were barbecued salmon and a small plate of fillet serve with mushroom salad and couscous. The meal was perfect. We will be back to try more of the wonderful wines and food from Fleming. it does not disappoint.Special Features:
- Steak and moreMelB123Dined on 9/11/2014Great decor with rich dark wood and beautiful bar. The food is unbelievable and not just the steak. Pork chop and sides are delicious also. Be prepared to spend but it is worth it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- pickyDined on 9/9/2014My husband LOVED his strip sirloin steak. Bread and spreads was also deliciouslSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Flemings is a great choiceodom5Dined on 9/7/2014The restaurant staff is open and friendly. Wait staff are very responsive and anticipate your needs. Manager checks in on your experience. I've always been extremely satisfied with my meal and always look forward to any excuse to go to Flemings for a meal.Special Features:
- Vanderbilt FlemingsECG3Dined on 9/6/2014Perfect Steakhouse!! From the blue cheese butter with the bread to the sweet cream on the lava cake, the meal was excellent. I expected the steaks to be good but when all the additional items exceptional it makes an impression. The solid piece of blue cheese on the wedge, crispy Flemings potatoes and excellent suggestion for a shared dessert. Not just another steakhouse..... They are paying attention to the details. Well Done!!!( the steaks were perfect medium rare!)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Back to expectationsRangerjohnDined on 8/31/2014I was truly happy to find the food preparation was back to expectations. Prior two experiences my wife's steaks were either seriously under cooked or were served cold. Although everything was done to accommodate us, it was disappointing to have to wait for your food while other members of the party were being served. We had about written Flemings off our list choosing other local steakhouses. I'm glad we gave them one more try we truly do like their restaurant and staff. We'll be back again in a couple of weeks, hoping we again find the restaurant we have enjoyed over the yearsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellentjohnt3765Dined on 8/28/2014Service was impeccable with a New York flair. Our server to I believe was either Logan or Justin, I really can't remember this morning was energetic and on his game that evening. The food was excellent and the manager visited twice during our visit. We will return to this location.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food great, waitress not the bestcmuleDined on 8/24/2014Flemmings rarely disappoints! Food was amazing! Our waitress was not "bad" but she did not stand out. She appeared preoccupied with other things. Don't know if she was too busy or just having and off day. Not bad enough to complain to management but there was plenty of room for improvement.Special Features:
- Not like it used to besteakloverDined on 8/23/2014We were very disappointed in this restaurant. Quality has gone downhill over recent years. Steak at a steakhouse should be near perfect, especially for the price they ask. Ours had to be sent back twice. By the time the steak was finally brought , other meals were finished. Service was not great. Overall not a great experience.
- DisappointedNashvilleFoodieDined on 8/21/2014I was really looking forward to dining at Flemings. I could imagine of Long John Silver started selling crab legs this is what they would taste like. The only think good was the chocolate cake.
- Small portions for the priceConnieDined on 8/20/2014We were celebrating a birthday and two of us got king crab, it came all cut up , on a dinner plate. It totaled 3 full crab legs for $44. This was disappointing to all. The steaks were good and cooked just right . The side items we were told were to share but they were small portions, enough for two people.Special Features:
- Couldn't have been betterFoodie2Dined on 8/15/2014Tender, well-favored calamari, spicy BBQ shrimp and a perfectly cooked Pittsburg style strip.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We ask for Bradley - great server.Dirty1Dined on 8/15/2014I like they way Flemings keeps a history of what we eat and drink.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food but rushed serviceTonyG931Dined on 8/11/2014The food is good but not has good as it has been in the past. We were there at 5pm on a Monday. We were the only ones in the dining room at the time but felt like our server was rushing us out of the place. We think it was because we ordered the lower priced prime rib special and no alcohol. The server was attentive but being rushed made it unenjoyable.Special Features:
- Remember the Shellfish!Scotty0615Dined on 8/9/2014Great steaks, nice presentation, and the sides are good, too. Here's the deal--one bottle of nice wine, two entrees, two sides, and one dessert shared, and the bill (with tip) was about $360.00. Some dinners are worth that, and I love to pay for THOSE dinners. Flemings, on this night, overcooked shrimp and scallops, and that's really unacceptable for the price we paid. No, we didn't complain--the seafood was still edible, after all. When you rack up that kind of a bill for two people at dinner, someone in the kitchen should know how to prepare seafood, and THAT person should be ...right?Special Features:
- Wonderful!MacleekDined on 8/7/2014From the moment we walked in, the service was wonderful. We were seated immediately and within a minute our waiter brought menus and bread! Our waiter was attentive but not hovering. The food was so good! My daughter ordered the Chilean Sea Bass and it was incredible! My filet topped with lobster in a truffle sauce was perfect! We live about two hours from Nashville and are already planning a return trip to Flemings!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- special occasionsearchndineDined on 4/25/2014This was a pricey restaurant but worth it for a special occasions. Great food and ambiance. The service was amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another Nashville HitEats2muchDined on 4/19/2014A great fine dining experience in a beautiful setting with excellent food and service. Wine list had many good options but not as extensive as I expected for hearty reds to accompany steaks. The extremely thick bone-in strip was cooked exactly to order - which meant the mid-rare was actually too red in the middle and more like a rare output. No criticism of the kitchen - just wish we had thought about that when ordering. I love hot, red centers but this was a tiny bit too rare. The bone in ribeye was superb at a mid-rare+. A bit pricey but a good value and I would definitely recommend and return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- kbroVIPDined on 4/18/2014Always delicious. Also, when I make reservations here, they have a note that I prefer booth seating. They always take very good care of me.Special Features:
- Fantastic for RomanceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 4/17/2014Excellent service! Amazing food! We really loved how they took care of us on our special daySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor table areaTFCJRVIPDined on 4/15/2014Our second visit, the first being excellent. Our server was outstanding. We told up front that he was new but was very attentive. Unfortunately we were seated adjacent to the serving and kitchen area with all the accompanying noise and clatter of pots and pans. If I were to visit again I would simply refuse this seating area. Food overall a disappointment especially compared to our initial visit. Our salads were bland and lacked any originality. My steak was significantly overcooked, and the sautéed spinach with unevenly finished. The rosemary and garlic sautéed onions were excellent. With the other steak houses available in Nashville is doubtful I would return to Flemings. A meal this expensive should be something extraordinary.
- Excellente'FlemingsDined on 4/12/2014I always enjoy when the food matches the service and the price. One of my faves for romantic dining.Special Features:

- Seafood TowerWyldcatDined on 4/3/2014My friends and I went to Flemings for the great steaks. Much to our surprise they have an amazing Seafood Tower Appetizer. The wine list was extensive and we found a perfect bottle to go with our steaks. Overall a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top ShelfJudgeBVIPDined on 4/1/2014We love Fleming's for special occasions. You always get top line food and service it is truly a five star experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall good... one acceptionDogger2270VIPDined on 3/31/2014Overall good experience. Nice place, very solid service. Pricey. Most of the meal was very good and met expectations. The one issue was the BBQ shrimp appetizer was inconsistent... some shrimp over-cooked, some under. Not sure how they pulled that off. And it was lukewarm when it arrived. I should have sent back but I was tired and didn't want to deal. I will give them another shot though based on the service, décor and other food we had.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OkayirbanditDined on 3/30/2014Food was good but service struggled. I will say that mgmt. was quick to make things right. It was great to see a place that knows when they make a mistake and fix it. Thanks againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent serviceSinecioDined on 3/29/2014Our server, Brian, was excellent. He was very patient, attentive, and happy to make wine or meal suggestions when requested. He didn't steer us wrong. Everything we ordered was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyed much!gmanDined on 3/29/2014Justin provided exceptional service. Very nice anniversary surprise at the end of the meal. High marks for quality and service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pricy but GoodCIngDined on 3/28/2014The steaks are good, not the best in town, and sadly I felt some of our side dishes stole the show.Special Features:
- Much better than I remember!MasonDined on 3/23/2014I am so happy the plates are really hot now that the steak comes out on, it keeps the steak hot throughout the meal. That was the biggest reason I go to Ruth's is because the steak is hot the whole time. I take my time and enjoy the filet and don't want to have to race against the clock of a cold steak. Thank you! Also really enjoyed sampling 2 oz of three different wines - great idea.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our server, Brian, was excellent,DrMikeDined on 3/22/2014Our server, Brian, was excellent, and made the meal for us. The food was excellent and prepared well, and service was exceptional. We felt valued and had a wonderful dinner. Thank you to everyone who contributed from front desk hostesses to chef's to management to bus help and food runners and especially Brian.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We booked this restaurantDrMikeDined on 3/21/2014We booked this restaurant for quiet, upscale dinner after a long day in a conference. The front desk staff helped us move our reservation back 45 minutes due to travel constraints, which was appreciated. We initially were being seated by a very loud bar area and requested to be moved further away, which was handled easily. Our server Brian was accomodating and understanding, delivering excellent service and wonderful food. His mid-meal suggestion on a dessert that would take awhile to prepare was accepted and appreciated. Overall, a very nice dinner with excellent service. We would certainly return and recommend anyone looking for an excellent meal to try this restaurant out! Ask for Brian...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The first half of this novel is incredibly long and boring and should never have made it past the editor. The story is saved by the second half which contains the relevant action and interest. 5 of 10 stars for this story that could have and should have been much better.

We thought the cabins where a good size and very clean and the fridge well stocked, just missing the very British kettle, our cabins where checked 3 times a day and fresh towels everytime we used one.
The food in the Marco Polo was fantastic and if there was something you didn't want our waiters made sure they got us an alternative there service and attendance to our table was top class.
The entertainment was also very good and you where never short of something new to see most evening.
All in all our holiday a party of 5 was wonderful and we would recommend this holiday to anybody it was a dream come true for the 3 in our party how had not cruised before.

Robert Louis Stevenson State Park
Stevenson Memorial Trail
To Stevenson Memorial is 2 miles round trip; to summit of Mt. Saint Helena
is 10 miles round trip with 1,300-foot elevation gain
You can see the imposing mountain towering above the wineries. Mt. Saint Helena is a landmark, a wild backdrop behind the neat cultivated vineyards of Napa Valley.
The best view of the wine country is from the top of 4,343-foot Mt. Saint Helena, reached by a five mile trail that winds through stands of knobcone pine to deliver summit panoramas of not only Napa Valley but the High Sierra and San Francisco Bay as well.
While winter is not the most popular of seasons for touring the wine country, it is the best time for looking down at it from the top of Mt. Saint Helena. Crisp, clear winter days mean breathtaking views from the summit. Local Sierra Club members schedule an annual New Year's Day hike up the mountain—surely an invigorating way to celebrate the year past and welcome the year ahead.
Most of the summit and broad shoulders of Mt. Saint Helena are protected by Robert Louis Stevenson State Park. Stevenson, best remembered for his imaginative novels, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Treasure Island, honeymooned in a cabin tucked in one of Mt. Saint Helena's ravines in the summer of 1880.
Quite the world traveler, Stevenson, constantly seeking relief from chronic tuberculosis, globe-trotted from Switzerland to the south of France to Samoa. The native Scot followed his heart to California to marry an American woman, Fanny Osbourne.
Short of money, the newlyweds honeymooned in the abandoned mining camp of Silverado, moving into an old cabin and using hay for a bed. While so encamped, Stevenson filled a diary with local color and later penned an account of his experience, The Silverado Squatters, which introduced him to American readers.
Stevenson flled his notebooks with descriptions of the many colorful Napa Valley denizens—from stage drivers to winemakers—he met. Perhaps the biggest infuence upon Stevenson during his stay on Mt. Saint Helena was the mountain itself; it became the model for Spyglass Hill in his novel Treasure Island.
Today you can take a short (one mile) hike into California literary history by joining the trail leading to the secluded site of the Stevensons' honeymoon. Wrote Stevenson: "At sunrise, and again later at night, the scent of sweet bays filled the canyon." A memorial in the form of an open book commemorates the author's stay on the mountain and marks the site of his cabin.
Travelers interested in learning more about Robert Louis Stevenson and his work should head for the Silverado Museum in St. Helena, located seven miles south of Calistoga. The museum features books, letters, and other memorabilia of Stevenson's life.
Stevenson Memorial Trail is particularly enjoyable for the first interesting mile as it winds through the forest to the memorial. The next four miles of trail—a well-graded fire road leading to the summit—are frankly a bit monotonous; however, the grand vistas, becoming better and better as you climb, more than compensate.
Directions to trailhead: From downtown Calistoga, at the junction of Highways 128 and 29, head north on the latter road. Highway 29 ascends 8.2 miles to a summit, where you'll fnd parking at turnouts on both sides of the highway for Robert Louis Stevenson State Park. The trail departs from the west side of the highway. Hint: The not-very-well-signed state park is easy to miss. If you find yourself rapidly descending on Highway 29, you overshot the summit and the state park. Carefully turn around and return to the summit.
The hike: Just above the parking lot is a picnic area. During Stevenson's day, a stage stop and the Toll House Hotel were located here. The Stevensons came down the hill from their honeymoon cabin to buy provisions.
Signed Stevenson Memorial Trail switchbacks up a shady slope forested with oak, madrone, bay and Douglas fir. A pleasant mile's walk brings you face-to-face with the granite Stevenson memorial, itself something of a historical curiosity, having been erected by "The Club Women of Napa County" in 1911.
To continue to the peak, scramble up a badly eroded hundred-yard-long stretch of trail to the fire road and turn left. The road soon brings you to a hairpin turn and the first grand view en route. You can admire part of the Napa Valley and surrounding ridges, San Francisco high-rises, as well as two distinct and aptly named nearby peaks: Turk's Head to the west and Red Hill to the south.
The road continues climbing moderately, but doggedly, up the mountain. Wind-battered, but unbowed, knobcone pine dot the middle slopes of Mt. Saint Helena. Three miles from the trailhead, you'll pass under some power lines, and another half mile's travel brings you to a junction with a spur trail leading 0.4 mile to Mt. Saint Helena's South Peak.
Half-a mile from the summit, the road passes through a forest of sugar pine and Douglas fir, then begins the final climb to the peak. Various transmitters, communication facilities and a fire lookout clutter the summit, but don't block the view. Vistas include the Sonoma County coast to the west, Santa Rosa due south, San Francisco and the Bay to the southwest, the High Sierra north of Yosemite to the east. On the clearest of days, you might be able to glimpse Mt. Shasta, nearly 200 miles to the northeast.

I was in California this week. It's always quite a trip (figuratively, that is, as well as literally) going there. O the humanity and O the topography! And speaking of trips, it's not that long a one from one of the most populated places in the country (Los Angeles) to one of the most desolate (here east of Olancha just inside the west edge of Death Valley National Park, on top of the Acrophobia Road From Hell I noted in my entry on western U.S. weather).
The reason I was in the Golden State was to give a talk on global warming (MUCH more on that topic as soon as I get a chance) at the Operation Sierra Storm conference at spectacular Mammoth Mountain. While near that aforementioned remote spot on the way back to L.A. Thursday, I was able to witness a spectacular mountain wave cloud over the Owens Valley near the eastern escarpment of the southern Sierra, which is visible in the background near the bottom of the photograph above.
Pretty cool, eh? (Not only the cloud -- which looks kinda like a gigantic white funnel cloud -- but the fact that such photographs are possible with simply a small camera on a cell phone!)
Those atmospheric goings-on were associated with wind energy (not only at cloud level, but a gust almost blew me onto the shoulder of the road just north of the town of Mojave) provided by the first piece of the system that is creating, and going to continue to bring, a bunch of messy weather across a long stretch of the country ... now that finally some arctic air has built up in Canada and made its way south of the border, pushing against stubborn warm air in the southeastern third of the country, with an active jet stream and a bunch of moisture thrown in the mix.
On the satellite image below taken at the same time as the photograph, you can see the overall cloud (circled) -- the part above the low-hanging lenticular appendage in the photograph -- as well as streaks (pointed to by the arrows) cutting across the SoCal cloud field. That was indicative of the strong winds, which you'll be able to see even more clearly on this satellite loop as long as the link is still active for at least the next few days (slide the "Set Animation Speed" slider all the way to the right).
We noticed a dropoff in comments posted by readers during the past couple of months but suspected it was a technical problem and wasn't because less were being submitted ... it was vexing but our weather.com I/T folks were eventually able to find the cause ... so hopefully things'll be on track now ... our apologies if you had submitted comments but they weren't getting published, and thanks for your patience!
Be prepared, make sure your family is ready to weather the storm.

All we hoped for and MORE !!!!!
I cannot say enough good things about our family week-end at The Grand Tara Lodge. Not knowing what to expect ..... we took WAY more than we needed. When visiting again, all we'll need to take is our clothes. Everything from linens to cookware ..... all that we needed was supplied. We were concerned about the forecast for our week-end but it turned out to be absolutely perfect. The only drawback was the fact that we spent all our time by the pool and really didn't have time to enjoy all that there was to do indoors. There is not one activity any of us could think of that wasn't available for us to enjoy. Thanks also to Kelly for his quick response to any questions/concerns we had prior to our arrival. I'd definitely recommend this spot to anyone ..... !!!! Loads of family memories were made !

Aromatherapy as an Aid Against Exhaustion
Rub your evening R&R blend over your body, especially your chest, neck and lower back, before climbing into a warm bath or shower. Soak for at least 10 minutes, but don't use soap to take the oil off your body. When you climb out of the tub (or shower), towel off, and you'll be ready for your pajamas and pillow.
This same essential oil blend can also be added to a water-soluble, unscented bath oil and poured directly into the tub. Avoid bath oils made with mineral oil as they can be drying and irritating. Always add essential oils after the water has finished running, and just before you climb in.
Diffusing a relaxing essential oil or oil blend in your room before bedtime is another way to chase anxiety and court sweet dreams. Add just a few drops to a diffuser about twenty minutes before you plan to climb under your covers. Turn it off, or blow out the candle, five minutes prior to bedtime. Citrus scents or French lavender are especially nice, but there are also many fine sleep-promoting blends available. Maharishi Ayurved, widely available at health food and grocery stores, has a blend that many former insomniacs swear by, and Sabia offers core umber, a unique, balsamic, mossy mix that is my personal favorite.
Motivational Morning Scents
Morning: Vital Energy
Several years ago, I went through a period in my life when I was so chronically exhausted that I thought I had the Epstein Barr virus. Of course, I had two kids, a full-time job that required frequent travel, and an active social life. I never considered that fatigue and stress could be the culprits, I assumed they were simply the symptoms. Then one day, shortly after I began to study aromatherapy, I opened a tiny bottle titled "Vital Energy" by Aroma Vera. Every molecule in my body jumped to attention. I took the blend home and used it twice a day. Amazingly, by only the second morning, a brisk walk sounded like a great idea. Within a week, I had started running again and I was winning the afternoon struggle to keep my eyes open at my desk.
The core of this electrifying aromatherapy effect are rosemary and ginger, two oils renowned for their energizing and strengthening properties. Ginger is naturally warming, encouraging circulation and combating sluggishness. Rosemary is mentally and physically stimulating, green and minty. A great blend to start your morning would include rosemary, ginger, lemon, and just a drop of true rose otto. If you feel you need extra mental stimulation, substitute exotic basil for rose.

Brian Bailey Shirley shift dress
Par Pat
de winnipeg
I have the Brian Bailey Shirley shift dress in indigo. I took a medium in it and I usually take a large or extra large in Brian Bailey dresses. I am 5ft1 and the dress comes just below my knee. The color is rich and vibrant. The neckline is nice and I like the pockets. Brian designs the best dresses! You could put a pendant or scarf with this dress I think it would look good!

Nice ... but!
Par Shopping Chanelle
de UXBRIDGE
I like the classic design of this dress, nice tucking, length, easy flowing comfy fabric, 3/4 sleeves. Perfect for my tall frame. But why the side pockets when you want the option to belt? Two lowish pockets on the front of the dress perhaps even in a funky shape or a contrasting fabric would have made the dress more interesting without compromosing its class. I am a size S but with slightly larger hips so I like to belt to emphasize my waist, the side pockets although not too bulky, detract from a smooth line. Hands in your pockets look nice when you model but realistically, who goes around doing that? We often are carrying something.
Great little Black Dress
Par grandma b

Received this dress yesterday and was very pleased when I tried it on. It felt so comfortable and fit like it was made for me. This is my first purchase of Brian Bailey and I won't hesitate ordering again

I am very impressed with the quality of this chandelier and the price.
Fixture looks nice............a bit larger than I expected..One of the 4 'globes' is slightly askew...........but no one else noticed!
This light added a warm glow to my dining room which my family really liked. It adds a regal touch to my dining room but also makes the room look more up to date. The clean lines to donot distract, they add a freshness that brings the room to life. A new chandlier is the perft way to update without spending a fortune.

Viral 'parade punch' video star ex-Lt. Jonathan Josey found not guilty
Judge Patrick Dugan found former Philadelphia police Lt. Jonathan Josey not guilty of simple assault today during a non-jury trial. Josey was dismissed from the police force in October after he was recorded on a cell phone camera striking 39-year-old Chester woman Aida Guzman in the face. District Attorney Seth Williams charged Josey the next month.
"I respect Judge Dugan's decision, but I disagree with it," Williams said in a statement responding to today's ruling. "Let's be clear there were no winners on that day in September."
The video, which was shot on Sept. 30 during a Puerto Rican Day Parade celebration at 5th Street and Lehigh Avenue, was uploaded to YouTube and quickly went viral. Prosecutors said Josey was investigating a car that was creating hazardous roadway conditions when he punched the woman.
Josey claimed before the court that he accidentally struck Guzman while trying to swat from her hand a beer bottle she allegedly refused to put down. Guzman was originally charged with disorderly conduct for the incident. Those charges were soon dropped and Mayor Michael Nutter issued the woman an apology.
Nutter said during a news conference in October that he was "ashamed" and "sickened" by the behavior Josey showed on tape. "The conduct seen on this video is particularly appalling and not the kind of conduct the Philadelphia Police Department expects from anyone, especially anyone in a supervisory position," he said. Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said the video "deeply troubled" him. "From what I saw, it's difficult to justify the actions that took place," he said.
Josey will reportedly attempt to get his job back following today's ruling. "While I believe Jonathan Josey was guilty of simple assault, this is not the time to dwell on that and I hope as a community we can move past this," Williams said.
"As I said three months ago when Jonathan Josey was arrested, my job as District Attorney is to ensure that we only charge the right people with only the correct charges – nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't matter if you are a doctor, lawyer, Monsignor of a church, police officer or bus driver – justice demands that we apply our laws fairly. Ultimately, the final decision was in Judge Dugan's hands and I respect his ruling."

Let's be honest. Who's not sick of paying too much for clothes they don't really like or don't really look or feel good wearing. But what can you do? It's not like you can make your own custom clothing to look and fit how you want it to....
Oh, wait. Yes, you can.

During the People, Places, and Profiles editions of the newspaper a few months back, I wrote an article about the ACAC and NHC. The idea of the piece was to highlight the flaws of the conferences purely based on the size changes of certain schools within the last decade and even longer.
I'm sure when the conferences were formed the teams were a lot closer in talent level, enrollment, and balance. That's simply not the case anymore.

I've been meaning to write about the NCAA tournament but with sports in full swing it was mostly just an afterthought to pictures, stories, and more pictures.
Now that I have a moment to think about it, the basketball season's end at the collegiate level was very anti-climactic for me. Not the men's tournament, mind you. The women's.
How many people even watched one game of the women's NCAA tournament?

If arming the teachers and principals in Indiana schools is the answer, as some in the legislature believe, then why not arms the kids, too?
If the nut with the gun shoots his way in on the south side of the building and the teacher/administrator/officer who's been trained and armed is on the north side of the building, well ... But if all the kids have guns, it won't matter where the nut enters.

This initially ran in The Huffington Post.
In the Washington Post this week, Editorial Page Editor Fred Hiatt writes about the need to "reform entitlements." Last week, AARP volunteers from every state in America came to Capitol Hill to ask their Democratic, Republican and Independent members of Congress to strengthen Social Security and Medicare by coming up with responsible solutions.
Those who create the messages around recent attempts to cut Social Security benefits have also called for "entitlement reform." With the meaning behind the two words "reform" and "entitlements" they've attempted to make Social Security and Medicare, two of the most successful programs in American history, into things that deserve punishment.
First, let's examine the word "reform:" Social Security and Medicare need fixing. No one disputes that. But they don't need get sent to a school for bad dogs or misbehaving children. They need strengthening through bipartisan discussions.
In May the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office put out a report saying the deficit that the Simpson-Bowles Commission proposed to reduce through harmful cuts has in fact almost completely disappeared on its own in the face of an improving economy and higher revenue. In the CBO report, projected Medicare spending has gone down by 15% since 2010, and Social Security remains separate from the deficit by law. The Post's Hiatt rightly mentions this in his piece.
Now for the word "entitlements:" Americans pay for Social Security and Medicare through our payroll taxes. We earn them. So when anyone says the sky is falling as Mr. Hiatt implies, saying that the "rational…policy would be to support entitlement reform…" he misses his mark.
Economist Dean Baker takes this a step further arguing that "The problem is that people like Fred Hiatt want to rule out any other options in order to try to force cuts to Social Security and Medicare."
The proposal to cut benefits called "Chained CPI" is irresponsible and it's not a solution. It's bad "reform." Chained CPI would cut benefits that are already modest and add little to the Social Security Trust Fund, which currently has a $2.73 trillion surplus, up $54 billion from 2012.
The AARP volunteers who met with hundreds of Congressional offices last week brought concrete, responsible solutions and put them on the table, and often the desks of the members of Congress they visited. The solutions included ideas to reduce prescription drug costs, improve care coordination, and crack down on waste and inefficiency.
We want to see Congress have a conversation about strengthening Social Security and Medicare. We don't want to see more false rhetoric about "entitlement reforms.

Surviving Sacramento: Bucks 115 – Kings 113
Category: Recaps
|Ekpe Udoh, PF 25 MIN | 4-7 FG | 2-4 FT | 7 REB | 1 AST | 1 STL | 4 BLK | 1 TO | 10 PTS | -9
HOLY EKPE STATS. With Sanders out and Mbah a Moute largely absent in the second half, Udoh responded with one of the finest games of his season.
|Samuel Dalembert, C 26 MIN | 4-6 FG | 2-4 FT | 11 REB | 0 AST | 2 STL | 2 BLK | 0 TO | 10 PTS | -7
He did all of the things he usually does: Grab rebounds, block shots and hit some of those fairly reliable jump shots of his. Also, moved slowly. But as a backup center filling in when one of the league's best defenders goes down, he did a great job. Dalembert's got to be one of the better backup centers in the league, even when he's moving at a glacial pace.
|Brandon Jennings, PG 37 MIN | 4-11 FG | 7-8 FT | 1 REB | 8 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 16 PTS | -8
He didn't have the dominant performance he did against the Warriors or the assist extravaganza he had in the three games prior to that, but for the most part, Jennings played a solid offensive game. He took a couple of bad shots out of pick and rolls that he had been avoiding over the past four games, but he didn't do it enough to be damning.
|Monta Ellis, PG 42 MIN | 9-24 FG | 11-12 FT | 4 REB | 9 AST | 0 STL | 1 BLK | 3 TO | 29 PTS | +5
He can be afforded an off-night from the field, especially when he knocks down 11-of-12 free throws and attacks as aggressively as he did against the Kings. Without Redick, the Bucks were going to win or lose this one with Jennings and Ellis. They won it. Defensively though, this game was a bit of a step back for him, as he allowed some hilariously easy penetrations throughout the game.
|Gustavo Ayon, PF 14 MIN | 6-9 FG | 0-0 FT | 7 REB | 0 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 12 PTS | +19
Goose got loose in the second quarter. Ayon got his first extended opportunity with the Bucks and took advantage of it. He attacked the hoop repeatedly and grabbed a couple of rebounds on both ends. He scored eight points and grabbed four rebounds in nine crucial minutes with the Bucks thin in the front court. He's already had a more productive Bucks career from a return on investment standpoint than Drew Gooden.
|Mike Dunleavy, SF 27 MIN | 5-10 FG | 2-4 FT | 4 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 1 BLK | 2 TO | 16 PTS | +7
Milwaukee needed productive minutes out of Dunleavy without Redick and he delivered. Over his past seven games, he's 14-for-30 on threes.
|Marquis Daniels, SF 26 MIN | 3-8 FG | 2-2 FT | 1 REB | 2 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 9 PTS | -4
He's been buried pretty far down the bench pretty much since Jim Boylan took over, but he clearly kept himself ready and delivered a very good game for an eleventh man. That's what most people saw Daniels as when the season started and that's a role he can provide plenty of value in. Coming in for one game here and there and providing defense and a bit of ball-handling. Well done, 'Quis.
Two Things We Saw
- The Bucks lost an hour to daylight savings, had a bus trip to Sacramento from Oakland, played without two starters and their top reserve and survived a spirited late run. That's all that could really be asked of them.
- Kings guard Isaiah Thomas carved up any defender placed in front of him all night, en route to attempts within 10-feet, but he couldn't finish on many. And when he'd drive and kick out to open shooters, the Kings spent most of the night missing out on those opportunities too. Defensively, this was not one of Milwaukee's finer games, which probably owed to the lack of Sanders and this game being the second night of a back-to-back on the road. But at some point, the Bucks will need to take care of some of their perimeter defense leaks.
About the Author (Author Profile)Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball. He founded it in January of 2009 because he hated his job. It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task. He isn't sure if this should be in third person or not. Contact him at email@example.com if you must use e-mail.

First and foremost, looking at the glass as half-full,
the Bucks won back-to-back road games, and both on the
West Coast, which is great! Kudos to the whole
team, with special shout-outs to "Mike, Marquis
and the Goose" (soon to be a rollicking television
Lots and lots of shots and minutes for Monta, which
might have been okay for last night — although it might
be that Monta's low shooting percentage and lousy defense
almost cost us the game.
Whatever the case, I hope coach Boylan gives him and
Brandon more rest for the next two games, which will
make four games in five days. Let's see some Ish, as
well as more Goose and John, and let's keep the starters
fresher for the end of the game.
When guys start slacking-and-jacking
(lazy defense and loads of shots),
that's the sign to take them out. When the minutes are
selective, the players are effective. Plus, it's a good
way to keep the bench players involved during the season
and ready when needed.
I told all y'all dat nigga Ayon could ball. All y'all been cryin' 'bout losing Tobias. We got the better deal. Anyone can fill up the box score on a bad team. Tobias is just the forward version of Gerald Henderson. The Heat streak ends in Milwaukee.
Did you really just post that? And is the host really allowing it to remain up? Shame on you
stop being hard on Patti.. it's not racist, doesn't even make sense as racist
He's not being hard on Patti lol he's just purely surprised
that's obviously not the real Patti
Patti, whoever you are, you deserve a smack upside the head.
y'all racist
Do you realize that we essentially traded Jimmer for Redick? Pretty sweet! That being said, I think I would've puked if the Kings had executed that last play.
And Patti, you're a terrible human being
with no Redick on the floor, BJellis reverted back to the old them.. not that my point needed more reinforcement, but with no challenges to their playing time Monta and Brando went SAM(Soft as a Motherfucka).. lucky for the Bucks the Kings are the Kings, and the only reason they came back in the 4th is we were on cruise control.
extra point.. the Boylan rotations strike again, deciding not to play Ayon almost at all in the second half.. he was in supposed foul trouble but that is no excuse for him not getting minutes in the 4th
ya, whats the difference of Ayon fouling out and Boylan not playing him at all in the fourth? They both have the same result, Ayon sitting on the bench. At least have him grab some boards and maybe show off some of his offensive skills. I will say that Ayon almost scored as many points as Tobias last night in a 1/3 of the time and grabbed about as many rebounds too. Even tho Tobias is doing well, i still say that Ayon+Reddick>Tobias and Lamb. Fear the Deer!
unless Redick doesn't re-sign
Good point! I wonder if J.J. has any
intention of signing with the Bucks.
It might just be that he's being diplomatic
and polite.
It would be interesting to compare Jimmer
with J.J. when J.J. was in his second year.
As I remember it, it has taken J.J. a few years
to adjust to the NBA and become the good-to-very-good
player he is now (with perhaps even more potential).
It might be that the example of J.J.
could be a good source of encouragement for Jimmer,
and a lesson for teams to look for guys like J.J. while
they are under-the-radar and available for a reasonable
Great comments Jeremy. Glad to get out of the left coast with 2 wins while being short-handed. Now the fans need to support the team back home!!! Go Bucks!!! BTW, Stag Swag is growing on me…
To everyone… I dont believe thats the REAL Patti. Someone must have accessed her pc-or she is having a bad reaction to prescription meds-OR forgot to take her meds. Patti has always been very respectful, lets hope we dont see anymore of this.
Bucks hang on- thank heavens. Clearly could see effects of tired legs-too much travel-not enough downtime betweeen games. The Bucks showed just enough to win. Sacramento steeped on the gas late-damn near stole it from us.
Ayon makes a case for more minutes (even tho it was the Kings)-he showed hustle,effort, and a SOFT touch with the ball around the rim. Finishing at the rim is a challenge for lots of big men.He is looking like a huge BONUS in trade w/Magic. Will prove to be important as season drags on towards playoffs.
I agree with ya Sfisch-lets see some Ish. Our guards need a bit more rest. Ish showed some Dfense in G.S. sat. nite- better flow with offense is needed from him, hopeful it starts to improve.
Stay positive fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go BUCKS Go
Wow! I am amazed at the lack of love for Tobias
on this site! When he was a Buck, there was very
little support for him, and even Jon Hartzell seemed
tepid about Tobias when I posed a question about
him a week or two before he was traded.
Now it seems that posters have been going out of their way
to diminish Tobias' excellent start for the Magic. How sad!
We could at least support the guy a little as he goes off
into the future.
As I understand it, Tobias is shooting about 50% from the
field and showing range from the land of three. He's taking
in about 6 boards per game in maybe about 25 minutes,
after Jeremy complained that he wasn't rebounding well earlier
in the season. And did you see his nifty behind-the-back pass
last night, in a win against the team that the Bucks barely
beat a few weeks ago and that has about the same record as the
team the Bucks beat last night. (Tobias was also very good
in a close loss to the Heat.)
Before we get too giddy, the Bucks really aren't that good, either, and it's hard to tell if the guys who are leading us are just mercenaries auditioning for another gig and ready to break our hearts.
Yet if fans are determined to keep putting down Tobias, after
apparently not supporting him when he was with the team, we deserve
to get our hearts broken by other players.
Unless he finds one thing he's really good at I dont think he's going to be anything better than above average in the league, his ceiling is probably Thaddeus Young but I bet he'll end up more like a less trigger happy Michael Beasley.
He'll never have elite athleticism like Lebron/Gay/Josh Smith
Never will be defensive Specialist LRMAM/Battier/World Peace/Marion
Probably will never be great shooter Durant/Melo/Gallinari
Doesn't really leave him much else, to be above average at a few things doesn't really translate to long term NBA success. I'd personally rather have a proven specialist in JJ Redick
It's hard to know, especially when Tobias
is only about 20-years-old.
I see things differently, Ted, but sincerely
appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
P.S. I'm rooting for the Goose to take
some of the sting out of the loss of Tobias,
but not at the expense of putting Tobias down.
I hope Gustavo gets 15-25 minutes in each of
the next two games if he plays even close to
as well as he did last night.
i think most people like harris and wish him well but also see the positive from the bucks point of view.
this game proves what i have been saying all year, when jennings and ellis have decent to good players around them they put up better than all star numbers but when they are forced to do everything on their own since they are essentially both undersized guards they arent going to end with a high fg% and nobody should really complain about it either
Well, please be assured that this is my first post and the earlier posts were by the "OTHER". Actually, I was traveling yesterday heading to Milwaukee and I am going to the Dallas game tonight.
That was a crazy game against the Kings and happy for the 2-1 trip to CA. Hope everyone is healthy again because as entertaining as that Kings game was I don't think my heart could take that line-up against the Mavs (unless they pull it out).
Peace, love and could you raise the temperature about 50 degrees?
Go Bucks!
Posted by the real Patti and not the one that posts wild things!
Jennings can't hang with Isaiah Thomas, unfortunate but not all that shocking. But when the slow white guy that no one wanted to draft because he can't create his own shot (Jimmer) comes in the game and is defended by Jennings (arguably one of the fastest guards in the NBA). The slow white guy proceeds to destroy Jennings and go off for like 10 straight points beating Jennings off the dribble each time and knocking down shots.
I'm convinced the guys I play pick up games with could shake Jennings and score on him consistently. There is no justification for paying someone who cannot guard his spot at all any sort of real money.
He will never be an efficient scorer, but defense is pretty much all mental and just requires the effort. He should have the physical ability to defend in the NBA, he just can't and isn't willing to. Its shocking how terrible he is, no amount of scoring can off set his defensive liability.
Everybody back tonight against Dallas. Sanders, Redick and Ersan all expected to play. Moute my not play however with a turf toe injury.
How does one get turf toe in basketball?
Forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute is questionable with a turf toe injury. He started against the Kings but had to exit during the game before returning.
This internet website is honestly a walk-through for all of the information you wanted about this and didn't know who to ask. Glimpse here, and you'll undoubtedly discover it.

CalendarDateField in Popup - CSS Bug?
25 September 2008 at 3:10pm
Hi all. Searched and searched and was surprised no one had come across this, but just checking if anyone has yet:
I have a CMS_Popup for adding dates to a page. This popup consists of one ComboBox and two CalendarDateField.
It seems that CalendarDateFields (or more specifically, the popup calendar) don't play well with the middleColumn span that SS uses as a container wrapping the fields in IE. If you look at the Screenshot, you can see a comparison between IE7 and FF 3.0. The top row of the date selecter is under the MiddleColumn in IE7, making those dates completely un-selectable.
Has anyone else seen this yet? There is nothing in the bug tracker.

Def a CSS bug. You might like to submit it as such on open.silverstripe.com. It looks like something todo with overflow: hidden with firefox. and something to do with z-index or absolute positioning IE.
