Peyton Manning did what he was expected to do. Thing is,
A sold out crowd of 92,758 saw a game for the ages as the two quarterbacks traded blows like a pair of heavyweight prizefighters. And even though the Cowboys came up short against the Broncos, losing 51-48 on a last-second field goal, Romo seemingly outplayed the future Hall of Famer throughout the day.
Neither defense had an answer, though, as Manning racked up 414 yards on 33-of-42 passing, tossing four touchdowns and running for another with one interception. On the other hand, Romo was good on 25-of-36 for a team record 506 passing yards, throwing five touchdowns and one interception.
Unfortunately, Romo's one pick came at the most inopportune time, deep in his own territory with just over two minutes remaining in the game and the score tied at 48 all. The mistake sullied what was overall a brilliant performance for the Cowboys quarterback.
Romo was adept at spreading the ball around as eight different targets recorded a reception with the rookie
For the day, Dallas earned 522 yards of total offense. But, defensively, they just couldn't do anything to stop the ever-dangerous Manning, the Broncos themselves posting 517 total yards of offense. Perfect coming into this day, Manning got help from a rushing attack that eclipsed the 100-yard mark, Knowshon Moreno slicing the Cowboys defense for 93 yards on the ground and another 57 through the air.
The Cowboys came out fast and furious in the first quarter with the home team taking the game's opening possession 79 yards in 11 plays for a touchdown. The offense kept Denver off balance with five pass plays, all of which were completed to five different receivers, and six rushes, running back
Romo hit the rookie Williams for a 25-yard gain and connected with Witten for 14 more. He then bought time before lofting a beauty of pass to Bryant in the back of the end zone, the receiver just getting his feet in bounds for the score, Dallas taking a quick 7-0 lead.
Coming into this game, the Cowboys knew their defense would have to create some turnovers against the Manning-led Broncos, and they were able to do just that on Denver's first possession. Facing a third-and-4 at his own 26, Manning connected with Eric Decker for 19 yards, but the wideout was leveled by linebacker
They then ate up more clock, needing seven plays before crossing the goal line, this time doing so on the ground as Murray barreled in from four yards out to give Dallas a 14-0 advantage.
Of course, any dreams of shutting out the Broncos high-powered offense were dashed soon enough. Manning threw a pass of 19 yards to tight end Julius Thomas before then connecting with Decker on a 57-yard bomb down to the Dallas 4-yard line. From there, a shuttle pass to Thomas capped a drive that took all of 50 seconds, Denver narrowing the score to 14-7. That marked the fifth scoring drive for the Broncos this season of less than one minute.
In the opinion of many, the best defense against Manning was to simply keep him off the field. And for the first quarter, the Cowboys did just that, dominating the time of possession with Denver's star having the ball in his hands for just 2:03 while the Dallas offense was on the field for 12:57. Unfortunately for Dallas, there were three more quarters to play.
Even as the clock rolled over into the second quarter, though, the Cowboys were on the move again, and worked their way from their own 20 all the way down to the Denver 3-yard line. But a false start penalty on left tackle
But as many teams have discovered when facing Manning and Co., field goals just won't cut it against the NFL's best offense. And sure enough, over the final 12 minutes of the second quarter, the Broncos scored 21 unanswered points to go on top 28-17.
After a six-play, 80-yard drive that saw Manning eventually connect with Decker from 1-yard out, the Broncos were handed a gift when safety Duke Ihenacho recovered a Bryant fumble at the Dallas 41-yard line. Six more plays later and Julius Thomas took a short pass from his quarterback and lumbered in from nine yards out, the Broncos grabbing their first lead.
A three-and-out by the Cowboys certainly didn't help, as Denver then took possession at their own 36 and quickly marched the length of the field for their third straight score. This time Manning faked a handoff inside, which caused the entire Dallas defense to collapse. Instead, the quarterback bootlegged around the left end, and jogged into the end zone all alone. The score was Manning's first rushing touchdown since Oct. 27, 2008 at Tennessee.
Thanks to a 38-yard completion to Williams, the Cowboys were able to get Bailey on the field for one more field goal attempt, the kicker good from 48 yards to go into the half at 28-20.
But again, in this game, field goals weren't going to cut it, and when the Broncos took the opening possession of the second half and marched right down the field in 12 plays, the Cowboys' hole got a little deeper. Manning completed his fourth touchdown pass, this one to Wes Welker, and the fifth score on the team's last five possessions to put Denver in front 35-20.
Give credit to Romo, though, for going blow-for-blow with Manning. On second-and-9 at his own 18-yard line, the Cowboys quarterback hit Williams in stride on a post pattern down the middle of the field, the rookie then racing 82 yards to the end zone for his first career score, the lead still a one-possession game, 35-27.
Keeping it there remained a problem, though. The Dallas defense could take some solace in the fact that they kept the Broncos out of the end zone. Of course, Denver put three points on the board on their next drive, courtesy of a 48-yard field goal by Matt Prater, the visitors still having yet to punt in the game.
Back-and-forth they went, as neither team could stop the other. Romo led his troops on an 80-yard drive, completing it just before the end of the third quarter with a 2-yard strike to Bryant on the left side of the end zone. Dallas went for the two-point conversion, but forced to scramble, Romo was corralled short of the goal line, 38-33.
And then the defense came up big again, Claiborne credited with another huge turnover, pulling down a Manning pass intended for Decker, the pick his first interception of the year.
Set up with field position at the Dallas 49, Romo threw back-to-back passes to Witten for 15 and 26 yards to move down to the Denver 10. Two plays later the pair connected for a third time on the drive, this time the tight end catching the pass in the end zone for the touchdown. Again, the Cowboys went for two, this time Romo drilling one into Williams for the conversion, Dallas taking the lead, 41-38.
Back it went to the Broncos, who so far in the game either put points on the board or turned the ball over. This time it was the former, although the Cowboys kept Denver out of the end zone, Prater hitting 50-yard field goal to tie the game at 41-41 with 9:37 left in the game.
But what was that about field goals not going to cut it? This time the tables were turned. Backed up with a third-and-6 from the Cowboys 17-yard line, Romo cut loose on a 79-yard bomb to Bryant down the left sideline, the receiver cutting back across midfield before being caught at the 4-yard line. The very next snap then saw Romo throw a little flare out to Beasley, who scampered in for the score. With the extra point, Dallas was back on top, 48-41.
Romo's 79-yard completion put him past 500 yards passing for the day, not only a career-high, but also a new Cowboys record. He broke the mark of 460 originally set by Don Meredith on Nov. 10, 1963 at San Francisco.
The Broncos certainly weren't done, as the Dallas defense, like it's counterparts on the Denver side could do little to stop the opposing offense. Manning worked his team the distance yet again, the only third down the team facing during the drive coming from the 2-yard line, which Moreno punched in to tie the score, 48-48 with 2:39 left in the game.
Dallas needed a score, and perhaps just as importantly, they needed to eat up the clock. Neither happened.
As has seemingly been his curse throughout his career, Romo threw an interception. After taking a sack, on second-and-16 from his own 14-yard line, he tried to thread a pass into tight end
Set up perfectly, Denver picked up a crucial first down, giving them first-and-goal at the 1-yard line, which then allowed them to run down the clock, the Cowboys having no time outs. Manning basically sat on the ball, taking a knee on second and third downs before Prater came out for a chip-shot, game-winning field goal – yes, ironically, in the end a field goal indeed the difference – the kick splitting the uprights from 28 yards out as time expired, the Broncos winning, 51-48.With the loss, Dallas fell to 2-3 on the year, and combined with an Eagles win today, are now tied for first in the NFC East. They'll play host to the rival Washington Redskins next in a primetime Sunday night game.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio recently told members of the Arizona Minuteman border-watch movement that they could end up ōseeing 30 rounds fired into themö if theyÆre not more careful where they point their guns.
Arpaio issued his warning after a Minuteman was arrested for aiming a rifle at a sheriffÆs deputy heÆd mistaken for a drug smuggler.
This is a sign of a quiet end to a rabidly anti-immigrant movement that started fading years ago and whose fate seemed sealed when some Republicans agreed to attempt immigration reform after the 2012 presidential election.
According to Harel ShapiraÆs deeply insightful book ōWaiting for Jose: The MinutemenÆs Pursuit of America,ö the Minutemen were destined to flame out because they were driven less by hatred for immigrants than by the desire to reclaim an active role in America.
Based on hundreds of hours living and patrolling alongside the Minutemen on ArizonaÆs border with Mexico, Shapira describes a lonely band of aging sentinels who feel purposeless and increasingly left behind by their beloved country.
Looking to get past the easy stereotypes of the Minutemen being, as liberal media portray them, ōgun freaks, ōsociopathsö and ōlunatics,ö or as conservative media tend to label them ōextraordinary men and women,ö ōheroesö and ōpatriots.ö Shapira finds a group of people who have both sympathy and anger for the immigrants they seek to intercept.
The sympathy is generally reserved for those who are exploited: the children whose discarded brightly colored backpacks litter well-worn trails, the women whose undergarments are hung as trophies from ōrape trees,ö the elderly who are smuggled across and then left to die when their bodies can no longer propel them across the harsh landscape of the desert.
But the anger is divided. ThereÆs plenty for their ōenemy,ö as the Minutemen often describe those they are on the lookout for: human traffickers, drug smugglers, would-be terrorists and germ-carrying interlopers looking to take jobs from U.S. citizens. But there is also a distinct contempt for some of modern America itself.
Shapira says that the Minutemen are united not by political ideology or racial hatred but by a longing for an America where people worked hard, went to church, participated in their communities, sacrificed themselves by serving their country through the military, and just generally had a strong American identity that they were proud of. And, yes, they miss a time when there was no option to ōpress 2 for Spanishö because it wasnÆt necessary.
Shattering well-worn stereotypes, Shapira, a detached academic observer who doesnÆt share his personal opinions on immigration issues with readers, says the Minutemen are complex. ōThey arenÆt æright-wing.Æ In conversation, the Minutemen talk about immigration in a multiplicity of different ways -- ways that alternately channel a variety of ideologies from across AmericaÆs political spectrum.ö They vote Republican, Shapira says, but only grudgingly, vilifying Barack Obama but also former President George W. Bush and Arizona Sen. John McCain.
Page 2 of 2 - ōThe Minutemen,ö Shapira says, ōhave no place in the system -- neither in AmericaÆs political institutions nor in its social institutions. If sociologists are going to comprehend how the Minutemen think, we need to recognize how the MinutemenÆs diagnosis of what is happening to America -- the loss of community, the forfeiture of deep relationships to todayÆs temporary economic transactions -- is not so different from the diagnoses of Robert Putnam or Richard Sennett, writers celebrated by liberal Democrats,ö he says, referring to the authors of ōBowling Aloneö and ōTogether: The Rituals, Pleasures and Politics of Cooperation.ö
The only difference is that the MinutemenÆs idea of ōcivic engagementö is ōto get a gun and patrol the borderö -- and even that is cruelly disappointing. Shapira describes pitiable squads mostly comprised of elderly male veterans who run to the border to ōcatch illegal immigrantsö but end up sitting out in harsh weather bored and able only to ōobserve and report.ö
The U.S. Border Patrol -- who, Shapira observes, mostly tries to keep the Minutemen out of its way and out of trouble -- often waves off any reported crossers. But the MinutemenÆs scant tip-offs are enough to make them feel that theyÆre doing something to be useful, to belong and to serve a higher purpose.
Reading ōWaiting for Joseö to learn about the mythic Minuteman movement doesnÆt simply satisfy the sociological curiosity of comprehending anti-immigrant warriors whose heyday may soon be coming to a close.
ItÆs also instructive in helping us realize that immigrants are not the only ones finding it difficult to ōassimilateö themselves to a very different America than the one many of us grew up in.

Hayli Goode/Ball State University
Lawrenceburg, Ind.-native Nick Goepper described freestyle skiing as an art form.
"The course is your canvas, and your skis are the paintbrushes," Goepper said.
Currently ranked No. 1 in slopestyle skiing by the Association of Freeskiing Prefessionals, the 19-year-old brunette said competing in the X Games was his dream as a child, and The Olympic Games did not become a reality the sport was introduced into the Winter Olympic Games on Feb 11, 2013.
Slopestyle skiing originated from snowboarding in that the goal is to perform the most different and difficult tricks off of half pipes. The difference is that the competitors are on skis instead of boards.
It's also Goepper's first Olympic ride.
"We're kind of all going about this for the first time. It's going to be fun and I'm really excited for it. At the same time, we haven't been training for this moment since we could walk," Goepper said.
Now he holds the gold medal from the X Games and is on track to make the Olympic team. He made his first stop in the "skiing mecca of the world," as Goepper described it, for the Olympic Media Summit in Park City, Utah.
Instead of playing basketball like his father wanted, the Sochi hopeful grew up 10 minues away from Perfect North Slopes and started skiing at the age of 5, when his mom signed him up for ski lessons.
"I actually hated skiing at first. I didn't want to do it because I was uncomfortable; I couldn't turn, but once I figured out I could go fast and jump off stuff, I loved it," Goepper said.
Goepper trained at Perfect North every day after school. During the off-season, he used a trampoline and skateboard ramps in his backyard to train aerial and half pipe tricks.
"I actually didn't like skateboarding at all, either," he said. "But I really looked up to high schoolers I saw on the course or practicing."
The official freestyle Olympic skiing team will not be announced until Jan. 17-19 in Park City, Utah, during the U.S. Grand Prix.
Until then, Nick is still in school at the Windell Academy, a year-round snow sports camp in Oregon, where he received a full scholarship. He is living in Oregon and training with his coach at Wendell.
"Kind of not being a normal college kid, kind of going on that normal route, I think I've missed a lot of experiences in that perspective, but at the same time I've substituted for a lot of things being a professional skier and traveling the world. I'm really thankful for the experiences I get with this crazy schedule," Goepper said. "Really, to me, it's going to mean the world, and it's going to be a dream come true to represent the USA at the Olympics and be a part of history, being the first ever Olympics slopestyle competition."
If he makes it to Sochi, Goepper's family will be traveling with him. He says he's excited because it will be his sibling's first trip out of the country.

Emergency Planning
Eastern Virginia Medical School has developed a campus wide Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) that includes an emergency operations framework for our campus as well as a hazard vulnerability assessment. Also, a continuity plan was created to ensure that mission-essential functions and key operations are restored as quickly as possible during and following emergencies and disasters.
While there are campus wide emergency plans and protocols, each EVMS department is responsible for developing plans specific to their respective needs and issues. A departmental emergency response plan identifies the specific approaches to an emergency needed for that group and compliments the overall EVMS Emergency Operations Plan.

My mourning sickness started on Sunday and I have been drinking Ginger Ale since then. I used it during DS pregnancy and it worked well. But today I went to get some and found that it was finished, so I saw some Tonic Water and remembered that in one occasion DH gave me some with a lemon wedge and it helped ease my stomach. I have Papaya Enzymes, but didnt dare to take any because I read its not recommended to take during pregnancy. So I drank a bit of Tonic Water with a lemon wedge. But then I started looking for other natural remedies online and I came across an article that Tonic Water contains Quinine, its unsafe and not recommended to take during pregnancy.
I am going crazy here, I have been avoiding so many things (soda, sugars and so on). I really want to have a healthy pregnancy . I only had a glass, less the 5 oz. maybe less with all the ice and while I was searching the web and when I read the articles. But still I feel so bad and worried now for drinking it.
Am I over reacting, is the amount not harmful?? Does anyone know any different?? How about Sparkling Water??

VOLUME 52. ISSUE 8 TUESDAY. AUGUST 6. 1991 SlG! T ITT r- H iL JLJi Weber State University Ogden, Utah "A level field" JPOST Affirmative action acts to create opportunities for all ByJim Sawdey Editof-ln-chlefof The Signpost Affirmative action is used as a scapegoat or whipping boy by conservatives who think that minorities and women hired through affirmative action aren't qualified for the jobs they receive. But that's not how affirmative action works, said Barry Gomberg, Weber State Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity representative. WSU currently doesn't have the appropriate percentage of minorities and women faculty and staff members as compared to Northern Utah's demographics. The campus has set goals but hasn't met them yet. Affirmative action is a means to bring parity to the campus work force, Gomberg said. But affirmative action has an undeserved bad name, he said. "I think the notion that affirmative action means less qualified' is widespread and inaccurate. People equate it with reverse discrimination and passing over for less qualified (applicants).

Affirmative action tends to level the playing field that gives white males the competitive edge. As soon as you achieve your goals, af firmative action has done its job," he said. Weber State avoids passing over the most qualified person by "aggressive recruiting methods to entice these people to apply," he said. "If enough women and minorities apply for a position, they are more likely to beat out white male competition. If they are still less qualified, the white male will get the job," Gomberg said. Gomberg wouldn't say how close Weber is to complying with affirmative action guidelines. He said that releasing documents showing where WSU wants to be and where it is would invite trouble. "We have not published the list yet. We consider it confidential. Employers have tended to be concerned about publicizing what they have determined to be their under-utilization. People may improperly infer one of two things: willful discrimination that led to that ur..er utilization, or as evidence (for a lawsuit) by disgruntled applicants who did not secure a position," he said. "We can do better," he said. Ruben Jimenez, Utah Director for Hispanic Affairs, agrees that businesses and institutions can do better. "My personal opinion is (minorities) are very much under represented in all areas in the state especially Hispanics," Jimenez said. Some groups are having more success than Hispanics. "Culturally, we're not as aggressive as other groups might be. see Action page 2 WSU minority leadership program helps diversify faculty By Jim Sawdey Editor-ln-chlef of The Signpost You wouldn't normally think sitology have anything remotely in common with each other, but a connection exists. The connection is with the people who teach them rather than in the subjects. This year two people with widely diverse backgrounds will be sharing their knowledge, acting as role models and introducing the uninitiated to different cultures. The WSU Minority Lectureship Program has hired two black women to come on campus and teach in their respective fields of expertise. Sherry Courtney, a parasite ecolo-gist, and Patti O'Neal, a modern dance artist, competed nationally with other minorities for their positions on campus. They will teach for a year, as will a third professor for the psychology department. The Minority Lectureship Program is a voluntary part of WSU's affirmative action program. It is intended to bring minorities to campus to gain experience teaching, and to share their knowledge and unique culture with the university, said Barry Gomberg, affirmative action representative on campus. "The position is offered from one to three quarters to bring in on a temporary basis members of minorities from around the country to expose them to Weber State University," Gomberg said. Courtney received her Ph.D in zoology from the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1988. She said the intent of the program is to diversify the faculty. She has been working at Utah State University and for the Utah Fish and Wildlife Service. Now she plans to teach. She's sold on the lectureship program, she said. "It's good because you come for nine months and it's like an extended interview. You spend an additional year showing what you can do," she said. Many barriers exist for minorities and women who know they are qualified for job openings, but for various reasons, their resumes don't measure up. "People are selected by faculty just on the basis of their resumed You'll hear they can't find qualified people. But the advertised position and the actual job description aren't the same," she said. The lectureship program helps break some of those barriers. Culturally, it breaks other barriers. When students and faculty see for the first time a black woman teaching natural sciences, they know that others with similar backgrounds can follow, said Gomberg. Culture is the major concern of Patti (See Program page 4) , ,,,....,,,.. ...... M,. ,. , , .... . Mtnii.., .nil i m .i.wt..w'WwK.J News 4 WSU engineering departments to consolodate.

Farrell Shepherd retired in 1982 By B. A. Bridenbecker News Editor of The Signpost A new Union Building director has been hired, the first to fill the position since 1982. Mike Ellis, formerly the assistant director of the University ofMaryland-College Park unionbuilding, hasbeen hired to fill the position vacated by J. Farrell Shepherd.Ellis said that the U of M is an 80 percent commuter college, so it does have some of the same characteristics as WSU. He said that he is sensitive to the needs of students who live off campus and would like to develop projects that would get the students involved in campus life. "One of the hopes that we ha ve is for every person to know that they are important to us," Ellis said. Shepherd said, "The union is a place for leisure time activities for all students and guests of the campus. It's the informal education a student gets when they deal with other people." "The union is a place for leisure time activiteis for all students and guests of the campus. It's the informal education a student gets when they deal with other people. " J. Farrell Shepherd Ellis said that he would like to have some activities that even the busiest person could stop and look at for a few minutes. "It could be a graffitti board that has a question. Everyone would be invited to write on it." Ellis said that his top priority is to review the UB advisory board. Theboard represents all students and he would like the board to demographically represent all groups. Other priorities include making clear the policies and procedures of the UB and to complete UB renovations. Dean of Student Life Lee Peters, said that the job has actually been done by various other positions since Shepherd left. According to Peters, Carl Wood was the assistant director of the UBand fulfilled those duties until he took an early retirement in 1988. He was not replaced and the responsibilities were taken over by the former dean, Rick Sline. When Peters was hired as dean of the UB, he spent a lot of time evaluating what was needed. "I felt we had to get back to a union director," Peters said. He evaluated what was needed for five months. In January he submitted his proposal and it was approved by the President's Council in February. Former UB director Shepherd was originally hired in 1946 as manager of the bookstore.

|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

March 09, 2013, 6:46 PM — Could anonymous chat be the next big thing? At this year's South by Southwest Interactive, the place that helped put Twitter and FourSquare on the map, a fledgling app for anonymous chatting is gaining some traction.
GhostPost is giving attendees a no holds barred forum to say just about anything about what's happening at the Austin, Texas, conference.
Literally, anything.
"So, why can't they find venues big enough for almost any session?" one person posted Saturday afternoon just as the keynote address by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk was wrapping up. Because the main hall designated for the event was filled to capacity, several smaller spillover rooms were made available for the address, but even those rooms were hard to get into.
A lot of the chat during the day was for more mundane purposes.
Im hungry, one person said Saturday morning in the apps SXSW chat room.
Go eat some pulled pork bbq nom nom nom, came the response.
With posts coming in once every 20 minutes or so, the daytime chat wasn't exactly riveting.
But GhostPost was on fire Friday night -- the opening day of SXSW Interactive -- as thousands of conference attendees descended on downtown Austins bar and club scene.
During that time the app functioned more as a community, as people used it to tell others where the hottest parties were, or weren't, in no uncertain terms. Posts were appearing literally by the second.
And the same thing appeared to be happening as Saturday night began.
"TechCocktail event is open bar, at the Stage on 6th," wrote one tipster. "say you're pitching as part of TreeSwing or any company pitching here to get in."
The app, which was built in just three days by a team of nine as part of SXSW's StartupBus competition, is the latest social networking service to riff on a concept that has been made popular by other anonymous messaging apps such as SnapChat for photos.
The idea behind the service is to inspire people to be more creative by saying what they think with no strings attached. "Our online digital personas hold us back from saying what we really want to say," said Justin Johnson, a member of the app's development team who handles strategy and marketing.
GhostPost is simple to use. A person goes to ghostpost.io on a desktop or mobile browser, and then is automatically dropped into the service's SXSW chat room. The person is given a randomly generated avatar handle, which feature whimsical names such CrappySamurai, WorstWeasel or SweetestHipster, and then can immediately begin posting to the site. There is no registration or log-in page.
While at the moment SXSW is the default chat room at ghostpost.io/sxsw, users can also create their own rooms by entering whatever words they want instead of SXSW.

SIMCOE COUNTY - High school teachers in Simcoe County have called an "administrative strike" against the Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) effective Monday, Nov. 19.
This action follows a week after teachers from 20 public school boards across Ontario began strike action on Nov. 12.
Ian Tudor, president of the 1,200-member District 17 of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, was visiting his membership in Barrie secondary schools Monday morning and afternoon to explain the protocols of the strike.
The group has "been following the Ontario Labour Relations Act all along," Tudor says. "We first took a strike vote and met with a provincial conciliation officer on October 25. We got a letter from the officer giving us 17 working days to put us in a legal strike position."
An administrative strike allows teaching and occasional teachers to withdraw from:
• attending staff meetings
• organizing or attending department meetings
• attending department head meetings
• attending central committee meetings/councils
• conducting co-op visits outside of regular school hours
• setting up meetings with students and parents after school hours
The board sent home a letter to parents of high school students on Nov. 15 stating, "We have great concerns about the impact of these sanctions on our secondary schools. The safety of our students is of utmost concern to us."
Tudor notes that all extra-curricular activities, such as sporting events and clubs, are continuing.
"And of course, our members are in class, doing class prep and marking," Tudor said. Five school boards have reached tentative agreements with their secondary school unions as of Nov. 19, leading to a sense of optimism locally.
"We plan to talk to the SCDSB later this week after we co-ordinate schedules with provincial people and board people," he says. "I think there is a willingness among both sides to reach an agreement."

We stayed at this wonderful vacation home in August 2013 and are so excited to go back soon! We stayed with 8 adults and 4 toddlers/infants and it was the perfect setup. The house is very updated and beautiful, and the scenery is absolutely pristine. The deck is an exceptional place to cookout, eat, or just sit back and get in some reading. We all enjoyed the tranquility and privacy of the location, but we didn't have to feel like we were "roughing it" more than we wanted to with the hot tub, wi-fi, and modern updates. The boat was also great and easy to use (as someone who has minimal boating experience and had to use it in all types of weather). The firepit was our absolute favorite element of the trip. There was plenty of seating around it and it is situated right against the water with a beautiful view of the lake as well as the stars. Overall, it was a great experience. Our only disappointment was that swimming was pretty much a no-go due to the water temperature, but that was our failing, not theirs. We can't wait to return!
Wonderful Northwoods rental on ATV trail!
We enjoyed staying in this vacation home the first weekend in October. The colors were perfect on the ATV trails. Super easy to access all trails on the Tuscobia trail and the Dead Horse run, putting on over 100 miles each day. House was very comfortable and with everything we needed for our stay. Spacious driveway for our trucks and trailer. Didn't get a chance to fish much but maybe next time. Excellent dinner and bar options close by! Thanks for a great place to stay! We hope to be back!
Lovely Owners
Fantastic setting and very charming owners who bend over backwards to acommodate you ! The weather was gorgeous and lake and grounds pristine. Going back next year!!

sketch Moving Wallpaper
Martin Creed Gallery has changed the way projection is now used at sketch, previously we had a 360 panoramic display. The focus for the restaurant is now on the dining experience inside Martin Creed's art installation, and as a diner you may notice the projectors are covered over. These covers havce now had lens holes cut and will allow you to host an event with a unique projection experience unlike any venue in London.
The four walls have very distinct paintings by Martin Creed and of course it is always possible to build a set with projection screens for large events but we have mapped out the structure in our video servers so we can project animations throughout the space that complement the existing paintings. It is true that traditional screenings playing a standard 16:9 or 4:3 are not such an obvious use of the space, though this has been used before in events in rather powerful ways. there are demonstrations of this further down this document.
Video and motion graphics are best created bespoke for the space, templates have been made for the server software and editing software to speed up your production workflow.
Design Considerations
The new Gallery has been designed around the existing architecture so the space is not square, also each wall has been painted in a very specific design by Martin Creed and covers the entire projection surface, this all leads to some careful design challenges when making video footage.
Below are full-res (i.e. 1:1 pixel size) design masks for each wall. Click on the wall name to reveal images.
North Wall ...
East Wall ...
South Wall ...
West Wall ...
Note, due to the fact we use WMV for video files we often perform one of two things to the rendering of video. We either scale the video down to 2000px wide and scale up in Watchout, or we split the video into two files, one 2000px wide and one 1262px wide (if we were rendering for the north wall). This is purely down to the rendering engine in After Effects that will not allow for a WMV file larger than 2K wide. We have successfully used WMV files brought in from other studios that are larger.
When designing footage it is worth considering the event in terms of lighting environment. If you were to create white background footage the whole room will light up and feel quite clinical so we strongly encourage you to have your footage on dark, preferably black, backgrounds and have all detail in the lighter colours.
Of course, it is worthwhile testing some ideas in the room to ensure they work. One feature that often catches people out is movement; fast movement across the frame is exaggerated when projecting across a 12m wall. Another is contrast. It is one thing to create footage that is to be focused on in a completely dark room but if the footage is to be shown as background 'wallpaper' the lights in the room may well be on so it is worth pushing the contrast of your footage and exaggerate detail as the house lights do change the way the projected image appears.
Re-editing existing video
As a demonstration of editing a 16:9 video to fit the north wall we used the promotional video of sketch found on our website, re-edited it for each wall to fit the painted surfaces.
Video Server Software
The 12 channel video server is run on Dataton's Watchout software (version 4.5). Watchout is a freely available application for PC only. (click here to downloaded).
Watchout can read many filetypes:
- WMV (Best option for performance – especially on high-res video such as 2000px wide)
Still Image (Raster):
- PSD (Files must be saved with "Maximize PSD File Compatibility" in Photoshop)
If you have not used the software before, it has a similar interface to a simple linear video editor. A time line window where your media assets can be dragged and manipulated on various layers, and a stage window to preview your composition of the timeline.
Media placed on the timeline can then be manipulated in a variety of ways; the most common approach is with the tween menu. This will allow you to animate position, opacity, volume, colour change and even colour keying to name only a few.
Further manipulation of the image can be achieved by double clicking on the media file in the timeline and applying layer blends or mask properties (such as in the illustration below)
Finally, video and audio files can be looped automatically from the double click dialogue box. An added feature is the free running box that will keep the media playing even when the timeline has been paused. This is ideal to ready up the next live cue and keep video or audio playing.
When you have created your show you will need to Consolidate your show. This can be found in the File menu and select Consolidate To... At this point you will be prompted to Copy or Move your files to a new empty folder on your drive. Select copy. You will then be able to bring this new folder on a drive or Zip it and FTP or send to us online via a service such as YouSendIt or LiveDrive. It is important that a Consolidation is made or when we open your show file at sketch the reference to your media may not be correct.
For further in-depth and very straight forward guidance there are training videos on Dataton's website.
You can download a blank Watchout show file here which has all the projectors in position on the stage window.
Further Templates
We have created an After Effects (version CS6) aep file to speed up your motion graphic workflow. Within it are comps for each wall with the paint pre-comped to be used as a mask or guide
We have also created a PowerPoint template file for those who have to use PowerPoint. This is only for the North wall and will be used to create seperate static slides to be inserted directly into Watchout. This does mean you will lose any animations created in PowerPoint. Remember though, that these animations can be created directly in Watchout.
Please call Joel Bondoux on 0207 659 4560 if you require any advice.

text: So I 'played it out' and it all got 'a bit dramatic' but that is me and you knew that. Now it is finally over. I am sick of your games. You are a head fuck. It started so well, not an hour went past where we didn't talk. I'd stay up all night just to feel close to you. But then you realized your power and took me for a right mug. Never met anyone to blow hot and cold as much as you. I might have been a bit dramatic but can you blame me?! We were great friends then feelings came into it and you messed me about. You made me laugh everyday and treated me like I have never been treated before. You made me so happy. But then you got what you wanted and fucked me off and messed with me some more (not to mention HER), then when I was finally moving on, you came back to me and I fell for it again so you got what you wanted again and did the same AGAIN. Done with you. Did you ever actually give a fuck or what? The worst part is, I have to remember you forever.

Next Marin LAFCO Meeting will be October 9, 2014.
On May 29, 2012, the Marin Civil Grand Jury issued a report entitled "Pre-Schoolers Learn to Share – Can Local Governments?". Over the past year, staff has been contacted by the Grand Jury on various local government questions, most recently on the number of special districts in Marin County. Prior to that, staff provided information on successful political consolidations, to which the Grand Jury added other examples of functional consolidation.
The Grand Jury's research concentrated on the number and variety of governmental entities in Marin County and argued that in such a complex system, that opportunities for increased efficiency and cost savings were present and must be pursued as a fundamental component of public policy.

Regular Meeting - October 9, 2014
Regular Meeting - December 11, 2014
After World War II, California experienced dramatic growth in population and economic development. With this boom came a demand for housing, jobs, and public services. To accommodate this demand, the state approved the formation of many new local government agencies, often with little forethought as to the ultimate governance structures in a given region. The lack of coordination and adequate planning led to a multitude of overlapping, inefficient jurisdictional and service boundaries, and the premature conversion/loss of California's agricultural and open-space lands.

Apache Storm is a free and open source distributed realtime computation system. Storm makes it easy to reliably process unbounded streams of data, doing for realtime processing what Hadoop did for batch processing. Storm is simple, can be used with any programming language, and is a lot of fun to use!
Storm has many use cases: realtime analytics, online machine learning, continuous computation, distributed RPC, ETL, and more. Storm is fast: a benchmark clocked it at over a million tuples processed per second per node. It is scalable, fault-tolerant, guarantees your data will be processed, and is easy to set up and operate.
Storm integrates with the queueing and database technologies you already use. A Storm topology consumes streams of data and processes those streams in arbitrarily complex ways, repartitioning the streams between each stage of the computation however needed. Read more in the tutorial.
Companies & Projects Using Stormand many others
Apache Incubator Notice
Apache Storm is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

This past weekend I watched a show on Power Metal and how it's influenced the metal community as a whole. From what I can understand it's influenced people to wear crushed velvet jackets and really tight pants. I can't pull that kind of thing off but I support anyone who can. Since the viewing I've been listening to a lot of Helloween, a band I hadn't enjoyed since I was just a wee lad. For those of you not familiar with the band their German and they sing songs like this. Keep in mind that video is a shortened version of a 13+ minute song. It's exhausting to listening to.
"The Flying Conchords" is a really cool show on HBO but you've probably never heard of it. It's pretty underground. Even if you have seen it you probably don't GET the humor. It's pretty funny though. You probably don't know that Jemaine Clement is one half of the singing duo on the show either but there's word around the coffee bar that he's working on an as yet untitled vampire comedy script these days. Blah blah blah hipster.
If you liked "Gran Torino", and I did in case you're wondering, then you'll find the news that the films writer Nick Schenk has been hired to pen the script for the upcoming "Robocop" remake. I for one look forward to an older and more racist Robocop. Don't worry, he'll also have a heart of gold.
Admit it, you watch "Gossip Girl". Yeah you do you dirty sicko. You love it so much. I honestly have no idea what the show is even about so I'm stretching here to make some sort of stupid comment that makes sense. But it looks like the show's creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are working with the CW on a new series called "Cult" about a girl who joins a blogger on a quest to find out if a group of rabid fans are recreating murders based on a popular TV show. It's kind of like when I had my Rachel bangs in the 90's but people die.
If you've been wondering what "Saw 3D: The Final Chapter" director Kevin Greutert is up to then there's something seriously wrong with you. But I'm here to help people and I'm not going to be a prick. He's working with Lionsgate on a new film titled "Jessabellem" about a girl who returns to her childhood home after she loses the use of her legs only to find a mystery surrounding her birth and an angry ghost haunting her house. Ya know, standard run of the mill girl problems.
Two sisters in Wisconsin are under arrest after they forced a man to drink urine and did something called "penis torture". I mean I probably know what penis torture is but I stopped reading the article once I saw the words "twist" and "pull". I don't need to know the details.
Universal Studios is toying with a new attraction, namely a new 3D King Kong ride named "Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World". Here's hoping for more 3D Naomi Watts and less 3D Jack Black.
Straight from the 'a sequel to what?' news desk; directory Harry Bromly Davenport let slip that he will be releasing a sequel to 1983's "Xtro". On the bright side, it's an actual sequel and not a remake!
Columbia Pictures is starting up the "Men in Black 3" hype machine as they begin to throw around names for the planned sequel. Thrown around so far are Josh Brolin, Sascha Baron Cohen and Jemaine Clement of "Flight of the Conchords" fame. None of these names are a lock however, just a listing of who the studio hopes to snag.

Wetlands for Life - How does your Donation Help?
Lamentablemente, no hay versión en español de este documento
►►Your donation helps: How to donate?
Donations to the programmes, initiatives and projects posted on this page will help to conserve or restore rivers and other wetlands in order to secure clean, fresh water for people and nature, conserve wetland forests, better manage water resources, conserve mangrove forests and protect coral reefs, fund special missions to evaluate wetlands in danger, educate and inform the public on their values, support vital scientific and technical studies, help governments to designate new Wetlands of International Importance, improve legislation, develop wetland policy, and ensure wetlands are healthy and available for use by all.
1. Small Grants Fund
Wetlands are integral to sustainable development and the Ramsar Convention has established a Small Grants Fund to promote the conservation and wise use of wetlands around the world. The Fund provides up to 40,000 Swiss Francs (Chf) per project to developing countries and countries with economies in transition for wetland conservation. The Fund relies exclusively upon voluntary contributions.
This Small Grants Fund fulfils a special niche where funding is not readily available. Through the Fund, eligible wetland projects receive special grants. Grants are provided to governments, communities, environment groups or wetland managers to implement a value-added project. This catalyst Fund gives a chance to those smaller projects that may be looked over through other funding mechanisms, yet are essential to conserve and effectively manage wetlands in many developing countries and countries with economies in transition.
The Small Grants Fund is also designed to provide emergency management assistance for Ramsar Sites under threat and to provide help countries wishing to Parties join the Convention, provide training to wetland managers and to raise awareness and inform the public about what is a Ramsar Sites, why wetlands need to be conserved and how they can participate in the conservation and wise use of wetlands.
From 1991 to 2010, the Fund has provided a total of 7.8 million Swiss Francs to 237 projects from 109 countries, providing up to 40,000 Swiss Francs per project. With the current economic situation, governments have reduced their contributions seriously impacting this extremely beneficial programme to developing and least developed countries. ►Click here to review the complete portfolio of Small Grants Projects

Without financial support, critical analysis of wetlands of international importance cannot be done as there is no budget for these missions. The impact in the loss of wetlands is significant has a significant cost to local communities and towards global issues like climate change and biodiversity. One paramount issue is the loss of water, including, loss of services in purifying water, the regeneration of aquifers and by adding nutrients to soil.
2. Ramsar Advisory Missions
When a wetland is under threat or danger, a country can call for a Ramsar Advisory Mission to be carried out to evaluate the problem and provide an action plan to reverse the impacts. These missions are designed to send out a team of scientific and technical experts to examine and evaluate the wetland and any and all threats. With rapid urbanization, increased land based pollution and a host of other impacts, more and more wetlands are becoming unhealthy. As a result, there is an increasing demand for assistance from Contracting Parties to have a Ramsar Advisory Mission to help them characterize the situation with the wetland and to design an effective action plan.
Ramsar Advisory Missions are undertaken to provide assistance to all Contracting Parties to resolve, mitigate or solve problems or minimize threats when a wetland is under high risk. A mission consists of a team of experts from around the world travelling to the wetland to evaluate the situation and analyze the problems facing the wetland. A report on the findings and an action plan is devised and delivered to the national government enabling immediate action to be taken to reduce threats, resolve issues or mitigate the problem.

3. Mangrove Forests
Purpose: The purpose of this project is to build capacities and take actions needed to conserve, maintain, and restore mangrove forests in danger and to develop a programme of education, training and public awareness on the value and care for mangroves.
The project will encompass mangrove protected areas in three global regions, Africa, Asia and the Neotropics.
Mangroves forest ecosystems are among the most productive and biologically complex ecosystems providing important ecosystem services. Mangroves provide critical support to commercial fisheries acting as nursery, breeding, spawning and hatching habitats for offshore fisheries and in exporting organic matter to the marine environment, producing nutrients for fauna in both the mangroves themselves and near marine and estuarine Ecosystems. Mangroves have proven to play a vital role in shoreline protection, where they serve as natural barriers to the impact of hurricanes, cyclones, tsunamis and storm surges. Mangroves also play a significant role in stabilizing fine sediments, contributing to shore stabilization and erosion control. Additionally, mangrove forests are often a source of timber, fuel wood, honey, medicinal plants and other raw materials. They have an important role in recreation and tourism, ecotourists, fishermen, hunters, hikers and birdwatchers providing and provide an important role in the local economy.
300,000 Chf seed money is needed to develop a global proposal
Overall cost for this project is estimated at $5.5 million over a 4 year-time period
4. The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity: Special Report on Water and Wetlands
The special report on The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) of water and wetlands aims to use the TEEB approach, as developed under UNEP, to generate better understanding of the ecosystem service values of water and wetlands to encourage additional policy momentum and business commitment for their conservation and wise use and raise the priority of water and wetland management.
The loss and degradation of wetlands have substantial financial, environmental and social ramifications on sustainable development and in particular, the livelihood of large populations if not adequately addressed. Loss of food, water and livelihoods sue to the degradation or loss of a wetland can have great social impacts increasing poverty and augmenting migration from urban areas to cities. By using the ex post ecological and economic evidence based studies, the report will demonstrate how understanding and capturing the value of ecosystem services related to water and wetlands can lead to better informed and efficient decision making.
There is a cost to people and the economy when wetlands are not healthy and viable. This project will provide vital information to all decision makers to take into consideration all the values of a wetland and hopefully help to position wetlands as a high priority.

Project Cost:
230,000 Chf (140,000 Chf secured for first phase preparation of report). Additional funding of 90,000 Chf is needed for publication of a report in three languages, English, French and Spanish and to hold peer review workshop on the information and data collected and key findings and messages.
Programme on the Economics of Wetlands
A programme on the economics of wetlands has started with a first step being a report on The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) for Water and Wetlands. This groundbreaking work will help policy and decision makers in government at all levels, businesses and other private and public sector operations to integrate water and wetland management policy and recognize the significance of water and wetland management. It can also help the private sector to align business performance with the sustainable management of wetlands.
Cost of inaction, or costs from not having the existing Convention implemented is a fundamental economic topic. At the same time, there is a need for quality environmental information for developing responsive and cost-effective policies relating to the maintenance, mitigation and restoration of wetlands so as to ensure there is no loss of their services such as the provision in quantity and quality of freshwater.
5. Defining the State of the World's Wetlands
This project aims to chart the status of the wetlands of the world: something that has not been done before. This pioneering work entails setting a benchmark for Ramsar sites and other wetlands and will define their current status and ecological values. In addition, the Global Wetland Observation System would be updated with the new information and data integrated into the system from the project.
"State of the World's Wetlands" book is designed to be a flagship publication that assesses the state of Ramsar Sites as a first stage and assess wetlands of the world as a second phase. The publication will look at what is the value of wetlands around the world, what is happening to them, and why – and what can be done to maintain and improve their health for the benefit of people and nature.
No previous comprehensive compilation exists on the global state of wetlands, and to support achieving this through creating better access to all the currently scattered data and information from around the world, a Global Wetland Observing System (GWOS) initiative. This work is being carried out under the auspices of the independent Scientific and Technical Panel of the Ramsar Convention. It is being developed in partnership with Conservation International, Wetlands International, the Group on Earth Observation – Biodiversity Observation Network and many others.
Project Cost:
Seed funding: 100,000 Chf is needed to begin the development of the research, collect and collate current data and information.
Overall cost for the full project : $2.3 million over 5 years.
6. New IT system for data and information sheets on Ramsar Sites
The purpose of this project is to provide a new electronic data system that provides a more effective and integrated system for searching, collating, comparing, collecting and analysis of Ramsar Site data. Funding is needed to help the Convention Secretariat to update its antiquated data and information management systems for the Ramsar Convention's flagship network of Wetlands of International Importance ("Ramsar Sites").
There are over 2,000 Ramsar Sites covering nearly 200 million hectares. It is by far the largest network of globally-recognised protected areas in the world. Underlying the present publicly-accessible Ramsar Sites Information Service, through which this information is managed, is a seriously out-of-date database structure - and one which cannot hold and provide all the data and information provided by governments when they designate a Ramsar Site.
The project is vital for ensuring the modern functioning of the Convention. It involves the redesign of the standard Information Sheet on Ramsar Wetlands in order to make all its data and information more consistent and homogeneous across all Ramsar Sites and fully database-compatible. The project entails the development of an on-line Information Sheet submission system and the complete redesign and redevelopment of the system's underlying databases, with full spatial mapping and interoperability functions being fully integrated into the system.
The result of this project will streamline and make more efficient the processes of data preparation, submission and management and make all the data and information on Ramsar Sites fully searchable and accessible to all who need to find out about more about these wetlands. The long-term value will be improved management, monitoring and decision-making that will help to ensure that the health of wetlands of international importance are maintained for the future.
Costs: 60,000 Chf (50,000 Chf in seed money will help to launch the project)
Timeframe: 2 years
7. Regional initiatives
Regional Initiatives country-led efforts with multi-stakeholder involvement designed to build capacities for implementing the Ramsar Convention, address a common issue of concern or to build a new alliance as a way to work together and address issues or problems with wetlands that are of priority to all countries involved. These Initiatives enable the involvement of all stakeholders at all levels, including the government ministries responsible for the environment and water issues, intergovernmental bodies, NGOs, academia, local communities, and economic actors.
A key objective of regional initiatives is to develop collaboration with other intergovernmental and international partners active in the region.
There are two types of initiatives that are designed to enhance cooperation between regional Parties, build capacities to implementation the convention and create a mechanism for sub-regional exchange of information, technical and scientific information and its application and policy and decision-making.
- Regional (and subregional) networks for capacity-building and cooperation
- Regional and subregional centres for training and capacity building.
While seed funding has been allocated through the core budget of the Convention, many of these initiatives need additional voluntary support in order for them to further develop, thrive and accomplish their objectives.

Campaign themes
Fuller's campaign website listed the following issues:[2]
- Abortion
- Excerpt: "There is never a justifiable reason to murder a full term baby during the birthing process by piercing the occipital brain with a scalpel or pair of scissors when only the head is left to be delivered. That is genocide of our future generations; of our future leaders or caretakers."
- Civil Rights
- Excerpt: "Individual liberties, including Freedom of Religion, should be respected and protected against government interference."
- Defense
- Excerpt: "As former president Reagan so succinctly stated and proved, "Peace through strength". He brought the Cold War with the former Soviet Union to an end peacefully. He brought down the Berlin Wall, liberated millions of people in the eastern block of communist former USSR, and there was no need to start a new war."
- Economy
- Excerpt: "Though the price of gasoline at the pump has nearly doubled during this administration, the president just killed the Key Stone Pipeline deal with Canada in January 2012 which would have created more than 200,000 jobs for Americans and drastically decreased the price of gas for the U.S. consumer in the future."
- Education
- Excerpt: "I favor putting the States in charge of educating our children. Not the Federal government. I support Charter schools and school vouchers. I support rewarding teachers who do a good job of educating our kids well enough, whereby high school graduates don't first require remedial classes before they can take college admittance tests"
Fuller ran in the 2012 election for the U.S. House to represent California's 11th District.

NEW YORK, N.Y. (AP) -- The Minnesota Twins picked a good time to win their first series at Yankee Stadium in over a decade.
With a 10-4 victory Sunday in New York, the Twins took two out of three games from the Yankees to head into the All-Star break on a positive note. It was the first time since May of 2001 that the Twins won a series against the Yankees in the Bronx.
For perspective, Tom Kelly was still managing the Twins when they last won a series at Yankee Stadium.
"It's nice to just win ballgames," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire. "Winning a series here is never easy. We haven't done it a lot. Guys were excited. The ball fell our way today."
The Twins' 10 runs in Sunday's win marked the first time Minnesota scored in double-figures since a 10-0 win over Seattle on June 2. Minnesota's offense has sputtered as of late; the Twins have been shut out twice in July and were held to one run on Tuesday against Tampa Bay. But the bats came alive Sunday to the tune of 14 hits.
The two straight wins also helps end a skid in which Minnesota was just 1-12 after a loss in Friday's series opener. Now the Twins enter the All-Star break on a high note.
"Things went our way, and that hasn't happened here in a long time," Gardenhire said. "Today we got a lot of breaks."
The Twins' victories Saturday and Sunday were the first back-to-back wins for Minnesota since June 19-20. It was also the first time the Twins have beaten Yankees starter CC Sabathia since July 29, 2007 when Sabathia was with the Cleveland Indians.

Heavier then expected and an excellent shirt. Lined collars and all. US normal sizing but don't expect any extra in the belly area. These will be my 80 degree's and under work shirt. Seem a little too warm when the humidity is up above that. Don't breath very well with any breeze.
"safari" shirts sell for 45.00 each. these shirts are just as good for a fraction of the cost. true to size and comfortable. durable lightweight material. looks good around town. could be the best deal yet.
absolutely unacceptable - shirts were incorrectly sized - a pity since shirts were nicely constructed/fabricated
Very nice shirts to work in or use anywhere. Well made and priced right. Size is a little smaller than indicated, so buy one up. I would buy more.
Shirts appeared to excellent manufacture. Unfortunately, although I ordered the size I normally wear, the shirts were AT LEAST 3 sizes too small. Very disappointed.
