Wildland Trekking Co?
Has anyone ever gone on a group hiking trip with this company (or any other guided hiking trip)? I'm thinking of going to Yellowstone this fall and would rather not hike alone. Just wondering if it's worth the price.http://www.wildlandtrekking.com/adventurehikes/yellowstonehiking.htmlThanks!

Thanks, everyone, for forgiving me Monday.
I get disappointed when the webcartoonists I admire have to miss a day here and there, and I really don't like to think about myself disappointing any of you.
But damn, did I have a lot to do. And still do, but tomorrow looks manageable, so here's a comic strip for you!

Friend of mine used to do this. Draw a turtle in the dirt if we needed rain by morning for a kayak trip. Uncanny how we seemed to see it work so often. Of course, we all REALLY, REALLY wanted it to, so we were happy to remember the hits and forget the misses.

CHICAGO, IL - JANUARY 16: Offensive coordinator Mike Martz of the Chicago Bears reacts in the second half against the Seattle Seahawks in the 2011 NFC divisional playoff game at Soldier Field on January 16, 2011 in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Mike Martz
The genius behind the St. Louis Rams' "Greatest Show on Turf", Mike Martz's high powered offenses are high-risk, high-reward --- when they work.
Bears fans warmly received Martz after frustrations with former Offensive Coordinator Ron Turner's conservative play calling boiled over following the 2009 season, but astute watchers now harbor concerns that his 'genius' will get quarterback Jay Culter- who was sacked 52 times in 2010 -- killed.
Despite his prowess, and wllingness to run the occasional wide receiver reverse on 3rd and 3, Martz's Bears' offense still ranked 30th in the league.
Will Martz meet expectations following the Bears' offensive upgrades made this off-season, or will his pass happy philosophy flop one more time? Will two years in the system prove a boon to the team, or will Martz hit the road after his contract is up this year?

The Boston Herald has a recap of last night's UMass men's basketball victory over Duquesne.
Recently in Trey Davis Category
Michael Whitmer of The Boston Globe has a recap of last night's UMass men's basketball win over Duquesne.
Michael Whitmer of the Boston Globe has a feature story on Trey Davis and how he has developed in his short time at UMass.
Patrick Strohecker of the Daily Collegian has a story today on how UMass' more consistent guard play has been leading to better results for the basketball team this season and will be key as the regular-season winds down.
UMass outscored Saint Joseph's 18-5 to close the game as the Minutemen improved to 13-1 on the season and 1-0 in Atlantic 10 play. Maxie Esho's steal and throw down dunk put the team ahead and then they had a pair of textbook defensive stops to come away with the victory.
In case you missed Monday's UMass Basketball Radio Show, the podcast is now available as Josh Maurer, Coach Kellogg and Trey Davis break down the BYU win in Springfield and look ahead to Saturday's game against Northern Illinois.
Join us tonight at The Rumbleseat Bar & Grille in Chicopee tonight at 7 PM for the Bud Light UMass Basketball Radio Show with Derek Kellogg. Voice of the Minutemen Josh Maurer will be joined by Coach Kellogg, sophomore guard Trey Davis and Danny Ainge of the Boston Celtics.
Fans can submit questions for coach Kellogg to answer on air via the Ask The Coach Page or through Twitter by going to @UMassSportsNet.
You can listen to the show live on 105.5 FM WEEI in Springfield, online at http://www.weei.com/umass, or on your mobile device using the TuneIn App.
Matt Vautour of the Daily Hampshire Gazette spent some time with Trey Davis on Thursday and talked about his importance to the win over Eastern Michigan on Tuesday night.
Here's an excerpt from the article:
The shot and the subsequent free throw both went in, giving Davis a rare four-point play that stretched UMass' lead from seven to 11 points with just under two minutes left, essentially icing their 69-57 win Tuesday.
"That was a good shot," Davis said after Thursday's practice. "I felt good when I hit that. When I fell, I felt Coach hit me on the head so I knew it went in."
UMass coach Derek Kellogg has had plenty of reasons to praise his sophomore point guard this season. Davis' play Tuesday was especially critical.
"In the second half he was really good for us. In the first half, he forced some plays, but I thought he gave us a nice boost off the bench and made some nice plays on the offensive end," Kellogg said. "He played better defense than he's been playing. He made defensive plays that led to transition on offense."
The four-point play took the air out of an Eastern Michigan crowd still hoping to see the Eagles upset the 21st-ranked team.

Matt Vautour (@GazetteUMass) of the Daily Hampshire Gazette has a feature piece on sophomore guard Trey Davis. Here's an excerpt from the story and you can read the entire piece by clicking on the link below.
AMHERST -- After starting last year playing behind a guy who wasn't coming off the floor much, Trey Davis finished the year proving he could be more than just Chaz Williams' backup.
As he gets set to begin his sophomore year at the University of Massachusetts, Davis is more comfortable, confident and ready to contribute more. He'll get the chance. In addition to being the Minutemen's No. 2 point guard, Davis figures to spell Derrick Gordon at shooting guard and play alongside him in three-guard sets.
"Our best lineup might have Chaz, D.G. and Trey on the floor together," UMass coach Derek Kellogg said. "The more Trey keeps improving and elevating his play in terms of taking care of the ball and making the right decisions, I think he'll be playing more and more. He'll back up Chaz at point. Whether he comes off the bench or starts at that two spot remains to be seen. I'm comfortable either way."
Led by Freddie Riley's hot shooting and Terrell Vinson's equally strong inside and outside game, UMass remained in contention for one of the top four spots in the Atlantic 10 with a solid 77-72 win at Xavier in the Cintas Center on Saturday.
UMass had four players score in double figures led by Brooklyn native Chaz Williams who finished with 22 points, seven assists, six rebounds and zero turnovers. The Minutemen are now 11-4 overall and 1-1 in Atlantic 10 play as they return to Amherst for a three-game homestand, beginning Thursday against Duquesne.

Matt Vautour of the Daily Hampshire Gazette has a story on what Trey Davis is doing to grasp the backup point guard spot as a true freshman.

Pure Comfort... and style too
By CookieBytes
from Saskatchewan
I loved these shoes from the get go. When they arrived and I first wore them I found my arch got a bit sore. It took a very short time and now all that I feel is comfort. I was so happy to see they were offered in half sizes and they fit true to size for me. Cute design and so comfortable. My feet thank you Orthaheel. I will be buying more.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comfy Shoes
By Marjorie
from Edmonton
I have a bit of a narrow heel so often I find a tie shoe more comfortable around the house going up and down the stairs. But the grips on many runners had me tripping on the stairs due to catching the rug so tight. At the same time, run of the mill house slippers gave no support and often the bottoms are smooth foam. I have one orthaheel mule style pair which I only wear more round bedtime for I found them just too plush for the stairs. I ordered these to see whether this would make a better house shoe, and they definitely do. They fit perfect, love the orthotic part and with the elastics they are easy to slip off and on. I am finding that after wearing orthaheels I just don't want to sacrifice my feet anymore.

Pretty stylish, pretty comfortable

It's true: you can have it both ways. Comfort & style. I love my purple Orthaheels. No regrets. Highly recommended.

Very Cute Shoes
By Snowflake
from Toronto
When my mom started slouching and complaining of toe and leg pains, I got these shoes for her. I have many pairs of Orthaheel shoes and they have eliminated my clcking knees. At first mom complained that the pretty straps were digging into the tops of her feet, (they stretch but are not adjustable), but we stuffed the shoes with tissue paper balls to stretch the straps and now they fit her. Everywhere we go, people compliment my mother on her shoes..."OH, where did you get those? They are so nice!" I am glad my mother did not cut the straps off, because they really add to the style of the shoe, and eventually they do stretch out. Maybe I will get some for me, in my size.

The Swiss economy continued to perform relatively well until the Spring of 2014. However, the robust dynamic of the domestic economy is in contrast with the development of exports which remains sluggish. In view of the rather irregular recovery of the global economy the positive turnaround in exports has still not clearly materialised. The Federal Government's Expert Group continues however to expect the economic upturn in Switzerland to strengthen further until 2015. Because of the delayed recovery in exports the economic improvement is likely to take slightly longer than anticipated in March. Growth in GDP for 2014 is now expected to be 2% (previous March forecast +2.2%) and should accelerate to 2.6% in 2015 (previous forecast 2.7%). Given the overall positive economic outlook, the recovery in the labour market is likely to gather further pace and the level of unemployment should continue to fall.

"Let's talk for a minute about why we're here tonight. So the truth is, and my brother Neil always makes fun of me because Neil went to college for Political Science, and he's always like 'you're such an idiot about politics' and I'm like 'ughhhhh I just wanna dress up!' But seriously, the thing I like about Question 6, is that it's not really about politics at all! Yes, you have to vote in order to choose 'Yes' on 6, but you don't have to be a Republican or a Democrat or either one. It has nothing to with a partisan pfffft. It's a human-rights issue. So for my brothers and sisters who are also not that politically-minded, this is something that's really important to everybody! And it's very easy. And that's what this fundraiser's all about. It's about raising awareness to get people to go out and vote on something that's very simple. Do you want to give equal rights to all members of your community or not? The thing I always like to differentiate with when it comes to these types of conversations, it has nothing to do with what religion or your moral compass; where it lies. It has nothing to do with that. I have full respect for everybody's religion. Everybody has the right to choose whatever religious, spiritual path that they wanna choose, and that's fine. But if I'm gonna respect that path, you gotta respect my equal rights.
And so that's what I love about Question 6. It's direct. Hopefully people find out about this, they come and vote for it. Even if it's the only fucking box they check. So when I got the call that they wanted me to come down and do this fundraiser, I was very excited because I feel like it's a little bit overdue for me to be involved in a political-anything. And this is something I can whole-heartedly back up without sounding like an idiot.
So thank you guys for coming tonight. I hope you tell your friends about Question 6! It's very important. Everybody has the right to just love who we love! You can go to your church, you can go to your synagogue, you can go to your temple, whatever. But give us equal rights under the law."
-Adam Lambert on the Maryland Question 6 Vote (September 25th, 2012)

Art, Design, and the Urban Environment.
Co-organized by the National Academy and CIVITAS, Art, Design and the Urban Environment is a discussion series that explores how artists and architects—as well as activists, grassroots organizers, scientists, urban planners, and city agencies—can work together to improve urban environments in meaningful ways.
Themed topics, related to local issues facing the Upper East Side and East Harlem communities, serve as a catalyst for an interdisciplinary conversation that addresses concerns facing the New York community at large.
Water and the East River Esplanade
Wednesday, October 2, 2013 / 6:30 PM
Bringing together policy makers, conservation experts, curators, and designers, this panel examines issues of water and the revitalization of waterfront spaces within the context of the East River Esplanade. Stretching from 63th to 125th Streets, the East River Esplanade is a large public space plagued by maintenance problems that could serve a major recreational and environmental need for the densely developed East Harlem and the Upper East Side neighborhoods.

Mullen, Jr. Curator & Director, High Line Art; Al Appleton, former Commissioner, New York City's Department of Environmental Protection and former Director, New York City Water and Sewer System; Michael Marrella, Director, Waterfront and Open Space, New York City Department of City Planning; Charles Birnbaum, The Cultural Landscape Foundation; Moderated by National Academician Gregg Pasquarelli, Principal and Founding Partner of SHoP Architects
Urban Revitalization and East Harlem Rezoning
Wednesday, December 4, 2013 / 6:30 PM
Focusing on urban revitalization through the lens of East Harlem rezoning and updated land use policies, this panel will look specifically at projects currently under way in East Harlem, including the renovation of the former P.S.109 into affordable live and work space for artists, and the transformation of La Marqueta, a marketplace under the Metro North railway tracks between 111th and 116th Streets that was once the economic and social center of the neighborhood.

Transportation and the Second Avenue Subway
Wednesday, January 8, 2014 / 6:30 PM
In the final part of the series on "Art, Design and the Urban Environment," panelists will discuss the construction of the Second Avenue Subway as a starting point for a conversation on transportation infrastructure. How can urban design and public art transform street-level spaces to be more functional, and beautify below-ground levels on a grand scale?

I have to agree. Sorry to say, but indeed this is a game. If this were a job I would say you need to stick with it, and deal with it later. However, this IS a game. If at any point it is not fun, you should (and do have by all means) the right to say, "Guys I am out. Maybe next time."
I think all too often people forget that this is an escape from real-life (for most of us). Now I will say that I do try to make a situation fly...but I refuse to argue at some point.
And for all of those players that don't agree with me, and take the game a bit too seriously..... while you are trying to point out that WoW is important and how it is serious buis... **Bravofox quickly types /camp ** (hard to argue with that)

Capital market equilibrium with moral hazard and flexible technology
AbstractMagill and Quinzii show that for any economy for which the state space is technological (the vector of firms' outputs distinguishes states), there is a security structure consisting of the riskless bond, the equity of each firm, an index of equity contracts and an appropriately-chosen family of options under which the market structure satisfies the First and Second Welfare Theorems. The object of the present paper is to extend the analysis of Magill and Quinzii to the case of a stochastic production function with multiple inputs. We show that the conflict between the market structure satisfies the First and Second Welfare Theorems if and only if, for each firm, the number of linearly independent combinations of securities having payoffs correlated with, but not dependent on, the firms output is equal to the number of degrees of freedom in the firm's production technology.

Lass O'Gowrie Doctor Who & Arts Pub Venue To Close
It's completely accurate to say that we report this with a heavy heart and a tearful eye. Manchester's superb and award-winning pub the Lass O'Gowrie is closing this weekend.
Home to countless Doctor Who events over the years – as well as a monthly meetup for fan – The Lass is jointly a victim of the closure of the old Oxford Road studios of BBC Manchester and a brewery that seems completely unaware of the wider implications of its decision (the reaction to the new on Twitter today has caused an avalanche of tweets and retweets).
Now, let's be honest a moment: we're big fans of Lass chieftan Gareth Kavanagh, his Vworp events and the Vworp Vworp! magazines he produces with Colin Brockhurst. Gareth has appeared on the podKast several times, helped with the formative development of Kasterborous Magazine and contributed several articles and interviews to this very site.
On a personal note, I'd call him a top bloke and a friend.
So we report this with both disappointment and bias. In fact, it might be better if you get your facts from The Publican's Morning Advertiser, with whom Gareth recently spoke, and find out just why Greene King brewery is hardly covering itself in glory by ending relations with the Great British Pub Award 2012 Pub of the Year winner.
It's a sad time for Doctor Who and arts fans in Manchester, as The Lass has been home to many productions over the years, and even by chance appeared in The Scream of the Shalka!
We're assured, however, that Gareth will continue to produce events and plays. So if you want more like Midnight, Robots of Death or An Unearthly Child live on stage, all is not lost…
5 Responses to Lass O'Gowrie Doctor Who & Arts Pub Venue To Close
A real shame, another Manchester gem bites the dust. It's round the corner from my flat, and while I didn't blow my weekly wage there proping up the bar, I did see quite a few plays and used it as a place to meet friends and watch a bit of footy. There are one or two geek friendly bars still in Manchester, but the Lass was definitely the best. Good luck to Gareth and the staff who worked there.
An absolute outrage. Its high time the government did something to protect communities and our heritage from the big breweries ridiculous modern day business methods
When I read this on Twitter this morning it was a shock. Been to the Las many times, last time was in the Summer a free event to meet Louise Jameson. This is very sad news
this is sad news, indeed, and part of the continued sterilisation of Manchester City Centre and its domination by chain bars, chain restaurants etc..The BBC's move from Oxford Road to Media City is symptomatic of how media orgainsations have removed themselves from public spaces that you could access easily to hermetically sealed and privatised enclaves.
Not entirely sure I agree with you here. Certain areas of Manchester are becoming homogenised, but there are lots and lots of independent bars, small local chains and also local chains (Living Ventures) that are becoming bigger and bigger. The Northern Quarter is a prime example – on the whole, independent bars and small local chains with the very odd exception. Even Spinningfields with a greater concentration of chain restaurants still has a lot of local bars / restaurants there – admittedly lots of them are Living Ventures venues, but even they are far from sterile chains.
I do not believe Manchester is becoming sterile or that the BBC have removed themselves from public spaces you can access; they've merely moved across the river to Salford. Lots going on around Media City including independent venues- it's just not Manchester city centre(and Oxford Road is only on the cusp of the city centre anyhow).
It's not just Lass that's closed; the pub just along from it, on Charles St and Princess St has also closed, as has Kro outside the BBC. The critical mass is moving from that area, though Odder and Black Dog are still open round the corner and Deaf Institute, Sand Bar a little further away.
Still, it's sad that a comfortable pub, managed by a great Dr Who fan is ceasing in it's current form. Greene King are apparently looking for a new landlord.

Guess what? If KUTV had had the option of switching to the Chargers-Chiefs game on Sunday, it would have.
And guess what else? Cursing out Channel 2's sports director wasn't going to change that situation.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Some local NFL fans — a select few — clearly demonstrated on Sunday afternoon that they have no understanding of how television works. They are under the impression that a local station can tell its network what to do. In reality, it's generally the other way around.
CBS affiliates can request regional NFL games, but those requests have to come two weeks before games are played. So in mid-December, KUTV requested the Broncos-Raiders game.
(If you tell me you knew on Dec. 15 just how big the San Diego-Kansas City game would be, you're lying. We didn't know that until about 2 p.m. Sunday.)
When Channel 2 doesn't request Denver, "We certainly hear from Broncos fans," said Jennifer Dahl, KUTV's director of news and operations. "They're very vocal."
As it turned out, a lot of local fans — including yours truly — would have preferred to see Chargers vs. Chiefs. Not just because it was a better game — San Diego won 27-24 in overtime — but because it had implications for the Steelers as well as the Chiefs and the Chargers.
It did not, however, occur to me to call KUTV sports director Nate Dowdle and toss f-bombs at him. Which is exactly what a select few local fans did.
Here's one of the more mild exchanges Dowdle had with a fan Sunday on Twitter:
• @BlockU — "Thank God KUTV is staying with the Denver-Oakland game instead of switching over to the thrilling Chargers game."
• Dowdle — "If you think we have ANY control over this, you're up in the night. Call CBS in NYC."
• @BlockU — "Call for me! You probably carry more weight."
Well, actually, no. CBS does not switch away from a game in progress for anything other than highlights. Which you'd think fans might have noticed over the years.
Denver's game wasn't meaningless — the win nailed down the AFC's No. 1 seed and home-field advantage for as long as the Broncos stay alive in the playoffs. But it was over early — it was 31-0 at halftime en route to a 34-14 victory; Oakland didn't score until the fourth quarter.
But that doesn't matter. And this was CBS' call.
Which made it more frustrating for Dowdle, who was getting calls from fans who were screaming and swearing at him. That's never acceptable, and it's even more exasperating when you're getting cursed out for something you can't control.
The dangers of Twitter were on display Sunday afternoon. A clearly frustrated Dowdle, using his personal account, referred to the people who were emailing obscenities at him or cussing him out on the phone as "idiots" and "tools." Some other viewers interpreted that as shots at all KUTV viewers.
"It doesn't represent the station at all," Dahl said.
Dowdle apologized. As much as I sympathize with him — and I completely sympathize with him — the apology was absolutely in order.
He can't say it, but I will. The fans who abused Dowdle on the phone or via email are idiots.
They should apologize to him.

Caching Friendly Authentication
Today's post is about authentication, giving a user access to control elements and doing so in caching efficient way. I'll use #rails and #lovelyio as examples, but the principle should be applicable to any platform/framework.
The Problem

<%= @comment.text %>
 <% if admin? or @comment.user == current_user %>
 <%= link_to :edit, edit_comment_path(@comment) %> <%= link_to :delete, @comment, method: :delete %>
 <% end %>

We all did that if admin? thing. Still do, right until the moment when

 <%= @comment.text %>

Becomes, something like

 <%= something_really_slow @comment.text %>

Then you start using the cache helper and make things more complicated

 <%= cache "firstname.lastname@example.com}" %>
 <%= something_really_slow @comment.text %>
 <% end %> <% if admin? or @comment.user == current_user %>
 <%= link_to :edit, edit_comment_path(@comment) %> <%= link_to :delete, @comment, method: :delete %>
 <% end %>

And then your boss come and starts saying: "hey my dearest developer, lets make some really slow stuff in the comments_controller too". And here you start pulling your hair off. You'd love to use caches_page, compile everything once in HTML and then serve it to the user bypassing #rails, but that bloody thing
<% if admin? or @comment.user == current_user %>
 admin links in here
 <% end %>
Still requires you to run it through the rails just to make those stupid links appear and disappear for the right folks.
And here people tend to start getting a bit crazy, use memoisation of the slow processes in controllers, build crazy schemes of nested caching mechanisms, build rack apps to include those links in precompiled blocks of HTML and so on.
Have you ever wondered why people go in such troubles over such a simple thing?
All this memoization, PJAX, TurboLinks, all those things come up because of one simple thing, they're created by server-side developers. You see, serversiders, they got used to compile HTML. Since the invention of PHP, that's what they do, they write programms that compile #HTML, and when a piece of HTML needs to be changed in some way, they change the programms that compile it.
And that's so 1999... Coz
There Is A Totally Better Way Of Doing It
Sometimes you need to let the things go. As Morihei Ueshiba, the great master of Aikido said once: "don't try to stop a train with your body, love the train instead, let it go, let it run, and use it's energy"
In our case that would be the simplest thing, just remove the whole <% if admin? thing from your templates for good. Just give it some love, get rid of all the ugly if and elses, make it shiny

<%= @comment.text %>

 <%= link_to :edit, edit_comment_path(@comment) %> <%= link_to :delete, @comment, method: :delete %>

Then go straight into your comments_controller, get rid of all the momoization crap and cache_page the whole page as it is, with all the links
class CommentsController caches_page :index def index some_slow_stuff end end
That's what zen is all about, deconceptualization. You need to make things simple to see their true nature, and the true nature of your situation in this case is that you just wanna show some controls to the comment owners that's it. It doesn't mean that you have to add and remove them from your html, it only means that you need to show and hide them.
How about that?

 ....
 ...

See, we just hide all the control links upfront with some #css, and then show them to the right user with a specifically crafted for him piece of CSS that shows the links to the user.
Possible Implementation
There is a whole bunch of ways to add that last piece of CSS on the page. You could say append that piece of css to your html with a simple rack app, maybe even use a quick #nodejs proxy for that, or something like that. But normally you also need all sorts of other stuff about the current user, like his name, avatar, role and so on. So it's better if you just make a quick #ajax request to your server for that data
For example add the show method to your SessionsController
class SessionsController < ApplicationController def show if logged_in? render json: { id: current_user.id, name: current_user.name, admin: current_user.admin? } else render text: '' # nothing end end ... end
Yes, you do an extra request to your server, but in reality you make the same exact amount requests to #rails, coz the main page will be served with your server directly to the user (possibly through a bunch of extra locations), and this authentication request is really lightweight and can be optimised further with cookie flags, caching and so on.
The big win here is that you don't render you huge page all over again all the time.
And on the #javascript side it all really super simple (pardon me for using my beloved lovely.io in here)
Lovely ['dom', 'ajax'], ($, Ajax)-> Ajax.get '/session', complete: -> if user = @responseJSON # if the user session data came $(document.body).addClass('logged-in') $(document.body).addClass('admin') if user.admin style = new $.Style(html: """ *[data-owner-id="#{user.id}"] { display: block; } """) style.appendTo(document.body)
You also can continue and adjust the userbar for the logged in user, sort of like that
$('#login-form').hide() $('#userbar').show() $('#userbar .username').html(user.name)
And so on. There is practically no visible lag in the UI with such approach. You can see it in action right on this very site.
This also opens up a whole bunch of options to you, like for example you can login/logout users almost instantaneously without actually reloading the page, switch users on fly, you can even use a separated server for users authentication and so on.
That's basically the whole idea. Let me know if you have any questions.

These are a few of my favorite things.
YouTube is your friend...
I miss it being at WDW. My husband and I looked forward to the Christmas Bears each year. Now they've Next Gen'd it so we'll probably never see the Christmas version in English again (except for YouTube).
But this encourages us to make another trip to Tokyo to see this, although it's worth the airplane ride just to experience Pooh's Hunny Hunt.

|Wish List
Perfect! I love this dress. Arrived a little wrinkly, which is a peeve of mine, but the fabric doesn't seem like it will easily wrinkle once ironed. Fit is perfect for me as I am 5'3. Very professional and polished for the office! September 6, 2014
Really nice quality Really nice dress, pretty color in navy with white dots. The buttons on the front and the belt buckle are gold, which I did not notice in the picture before purchasing. As many mention, it does hike up when sitting. It is also a heavier fabric than I expected. Not exactly ideal for a hot summer day. But really cute, and great quality. September 3, 2014
Love This Shirtdress As the other reviewers have mentioned, this dress does hike up a bit when you sit. Especially for those of us with curves. That said, I usually size up with TL dresses that come in S/M/L (I'm usually a size 6 and I bought a medium), and it works great. Sizing up means that the dress is a little roomier, but it works for this shirtdress since it comes with a belt that accents the waist. The only thing I don't like is how easily the fabric wrinkles. August 29, 2014
Cute but too short for work Dress is cute and made well but way too short for work. It looks fine when your standing but really hikes up when you are sitting down. Would be much better in the fall with tights and boots to avoid the flash of undergarments. I.m average build, 5'6". August 25, 2014
Quality, but not made for pears This is a beautiful dress. The fabric is substantial and feels wonderful. That said, this dress is not made for ladies who are pear shaped. Based on a previous review, I ordered this dress thinking it would have enough room in the hips/thighs-- boy, was I wrong. My normal size, XS, fit perfectly from the waist up and looked great, but it was way too snug over my hips and thighs. For people who are more proportional, I figure this dress in their normal Limited size would fit great. August 21, 2014
Great idea, WAY TOO SHORT FOR WORK!!! Purchased the polka dot and white/black pattern dress for work. I'm currently sitting in my office dreading walking around the rest of the day because the dress, especially when sitting is WAY TOO SHORT for an office setting (I work in the legal field). I didn't realize it hiked up so much when sitting. I will be returning these for something a little more work appropriate length. Great idea, just need to realize that even if you have a great figure, and nice legs having a dress that hits mid-thigh is not professional. August 21, 2014
Waaaay too short for average height I love this dress but it is way to short to wear in a professional office environment (government or law firm) if you are taller then 5'6''. And it comes in barely any colors in Talls and all the sizes over a small in Tall are sold out. Please make more work appropriate dresses in your newer styles. If you sit down in this dress in a meeting you are showing half your leg. Not cool. If you are shorter you are in luck. August 19, 2014
Great Casual Dress I love the entire Ashton Collection, so when I saw the new long sleeve shirt dresses, I had to go try them on. This navy polka dot version was by far my favorite of the new colors. It's a beautiful dark blue with different size dots. The pattern of the dots make the overall pattern look geometrical, which I really like. I got a ton of compliments on this dress when I wore it to work. I do have two small issues with the dress. First is the length. It's a little bit on the short side, I'd prefer it to be a bit longer for work. Second, it's hard to take on and off with the long sleeves. It's not a stretch fabric, so it can be a challenge. These are not things that would keep me from buying this, but improvements could be made. August 16, 2014

A:Some other colors of this dress are offered in XS, so maybe it's just sold out of that size at the current time. It IS true to size thought. I ordered a small and it was sized exactly as a small dress normally is.

NATO Expected To Sign Long-Delayed AGS Contract Soon
NATO officials expect to sign the long-awaited contract to provide an Allied Ground Surveillance (AGS) capability within the next three months. Northrop Grumman will provide five Global Hawk Block 40 UAVs, while a consortium of European companies that includes EADS Cassidian and Selex Galileo will provide transportable and mobile ground stations. Initial operating capability (IOC) is slated for 2017-18.
Bogdan Horvat, executive officer of the NATO AGS Management Agency (Nagsma), told the Airborne ISR Conference organized by Defence IQ in London that the capability that AGS provides would have been a valuable contribution to last year's NATO Operation Unified Protector over Libya. He noted that 13 NATO nations are collectively acquiring AGS, but all 28 NATO members will help to fund the operations and sustainment costs. Since the signing of a program MoU in September 2009, and the submission by industry of a proposal in March 2010, Canada and Denmark have withdrawn from AGS. Earlier, 19 NATO nations had committed to AGS.
Scott Hulet, Nagsma technical manager, said that the AGS contract will be let on the basis of a firm, fixed price. Industry will also commit to responsibility for total system performance. The UAVs will carry the same advanced MP-RTIP radar as U.S. Air Force Block 40 Global Hawks, with the potential addition of some maritime radar modes. The UAVs will also include some enhancements from the U.S. Navy Bams version of the Global Hawk, such as an airborne data management system and wideband datalink communication interfaces.

NEW YORK (WKZO) -- Portage native Greg Moore, who lives in New York City and works in Manhattan, tells WKZO the first day of work after Hurricane Sandy was complicated for workers trying to get to their offices.
Without mass transit available, workers were driving into town - or taking cabs - which caused gridlock. That was complicated by the crane dangling over West 57th Street, which was closed.
That whole street, which is the main crosstown throughfare by the way, was completely closed to traffic," Moore said. "It was just a mass of cars going nowhere."
It is believed winds around 80 to 100mph during Hurricane Sandy damaged the crane, the end of which has been dangling in between buildings along West 57th.
Crews were busy Wednesday morning trying to sort out how to deal with it, knowing what is holding it could snap and bring it crashing to the pavement at any time.
CBS News reported Tuesday crews have been concerned about what damage the crane could do once it hits the pavement, where it could damage power and gas lines below the pavement.

We had Jake in to help with website development. He's been great. We look forward to working with him in the future. We laid out the elements that our website needs to include, the way to manage the content, and how to optimize the website for clients and search engines. I think some of the best information was the keyword research – we didn't really think about how people were looking for us. We were probably misinterpreting ourselves by not putting the correct keywords on the site.
I would recommend working with Firegang. Anyone who is trying to do this on their own would be well advised to hire them.
Brian and Lois Somner | Owners Signery2
We had 2 other companies work our building our site, 1 of which took 6 months to get just the first page design to a point that we were still unhappy with the design.
I was in search of a web designer and marketer that could build our site optimized to be found on search engines along with getting very attractive product. The team at Firegang was able to do just that! They exceeded my expectations on the design and his ability to understand my companies needs and implement that into the design was just superb! Also, they were able to turn the website design / build around in a timeframe that allowed my company start capitalizing on our internet marking within 2 months!
The team at Firegang was able address our concerns and under-promise and over-deliver, which is a company philosophy tangent to mine. I would highly recommend Firegang to anyone looking for an internet marking company!
Justin W. Doyle | President www.justindoylehomes.com
I hired Firegang for a new web design and social media strategy. Their logo design and website design for my Physical Therapy facility was phenomenal – our customers gave great feedback. I was on the fence about utilizing social media for my Physical Therapy business. After wavering, we decided to dive in and we are now increasing our client leads and revenues. I am already seeing about a 10% increase in my patients form utilization from our new social media marketing strategy.
The team we worked with was outstanding. There was constant communication which made the process easier for me since my time was limited. We will continue to work with Firegang as long as we are seeking new clients online.
Dr. Lyneil Mitchell, DPT | Owner Revolution Physical Therapy
Firegang has helped us move forward and expand, allowing us reach a larger demographic and target our niche. They believe in what they do and they back it. Bigger isn't always better when it comes to the size of the company, it's about results, and Firegang is definitely results driven. In a down economy, we're growing and there is no better indicator of successful marketing dollars spent than that. I would recommend Firegang to any company looking for a more personal touch to the SEO world and looking to grow their business and clientele.
Gary, Diane and Meg Straw | Owners Loadmaster Trailer Co.
I googled Volkswagen repair Cincinnati and www.dubwerx.com came up first in organic!! "Volkswagen service" and we come up second. Tried zip codes and other words, it's working great! Thanks again, you really delivered an awesome site and it's starting to show up more where it needs to. I will definitely recommend Firegang to anyone I know that needs website work and be in touch on marketing soon.

SEATTLE, WA - JANUARY 08: Leon Washington #33 of the Seattle Seahawks celebrates the Seahawks 41-36 victory against the New Orleans Saints during the 2011 NFC wild-card playoff game at Qwest Field on January 8, 2011 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Jonathan Ferrey/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Leon Washington
Seattle's defense doesn't strike fear into the heart of opponents. In fact, they allow the most points and yardage of any playoff teams. Still, they do have a few players on both defense and special teams who will give the Bears fits on Sunday.
Lawyer Milloy -- The veteran safety already has a Super Bowl ring, but wants to get a new one with Seattle. He was a key part of the Seattle blitz against the Bears in October, making two sacks for 14 yards lost, but has been quiet since then. He had just three tackles against the Saints in the first week of the playoffs. Look for Milloy to get help from backfield teammate Earl Thomas, who leads the team with five interceptions.
Chris Clemons -- He only had a half sack against the Bears in October, which is pretty weak when you consider that Jay Cutler was sacked six time. Clemons has made up for it by getting 11 sacks on the season. He should keep J'Marcus Webb and Roberto Garza busy all afternoon.
Leon Washington -- Everyone know that Devin Hester is one of the best return men in the league, but Washington has made a strong claim at that title. He has three touchdowns and just under 1,500 yards from kick returns, and 249 yards on punt returners. Like Hester, he is a threat to score every time he is in the backfield.

5 Technical Setups to Trade for Breakouts
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- As rough as last week's market action may have been, it looks like Mr. Market is trying to one-up himself this week. Just one day into the new trading week, the S&P 500 has already shed an ominous 6.66% -- not too far off from the 7.19% that the index shed in the entire previous week.
As shares look to bounce this morning, investors are caught wondering whether this will be the end of the selling. I wouldn't be eager to go long just yet.
Although this market may seem possessed (particularly given yesterday's loss in the S&P), don't think for a minute that the price action in stocks is hocus-pocus. With the right tools in tow (namely technical analysis), herd mentality of stocks in August becomes a bit more comprehensible. And money is still being made on stocks.
Related: 5 Rocket Stocks to Buy on SelloffTake a look at the trades I pointed out in last week's column, for example. All three of our short-side setups triggered last week, generating potential profits of 9.2% on Crown Holdings (CCK), 13% on Dell (DELL), and 18% on Time Warner (TWX). In each of those cases, the key to success was to find the price when supply overwhelmed demand for shares, and short shares when that price got breached. This week, we'll aim to do it again with five new technical setups. Remember, technical analysis is a way for investors to quantify qualitative factors, such as investor psychology, based on a stock's price action and trends. Once the domain of cloistered trading teams on Wall Street, technicals can help top traders make consistently profitable trades and can aid fundamental investors in better planning their stock execution.
