I really like the free version of this plugin. So much indeed that I have entrusted its developer team and purchased the premium version. It was to have great feature like widget and shortcode. The latter failed to work as described right away. Then wen on a succession of failures which have been ignored by the developer team despite numerous emails and tickets logged on their website.
So my confusion is enjoy the free version but stay away from the premium.
How ironic their advertise their Support expertise in the plugin pages and fail so radically to answer emails and tickets.

The Floating Social Media Icon Wordpress Plugin was installed on our QuiltAddict.com recently. The plugin installed flawlessly and the set-up options were easily selected for our preferences. We currently have the Icon Floating capability disabled due to website theme preference, although the Icons themselves function well, look great! Thanks for your Support.
Icons are wonderful - Display much better against a dark background.so everything is good now! I think you folks definitely have the most attractive and professional looking plugin for this. Works well in all browsers I have tested including my iPhone4s and iPad3.

Dusty Answer
First US edition
|Rosamond Lehmann
|United Kingdom
|Chatto & Windus (UK)
Henry Holt (US)
Publication date
|Media type
|Print & Audio
Dusty Answer is English author Rosamond Lehmann's first novel, published in 1927. She sent it unsolicited to publishers Chatto & Windus who agreed to publish it, saying it showed 'decided quality'.[2] It went unnoticed on initial publication but then received an effusive review by respected critic Alfred Noyes of The Sunday Times who called it 'the sort of novel Keats would have written', which brought it to public attention and it became a bestseller,[3][4] and according to The Guardian a 'landmark book of the interwar period'.[5] Its success allowed her to leave her then husband and run off with maverick artist Wogan Philipps whom she later married.[6]
Plot introduction[edit]
The story contains many elements of the author's own childhood and upbringing, albeit idealised. Like the author, the protagonist, Judith Earle, grew up privately educated[4] in a large riverbank house in Buckinghamshire,[1] but unlike the author, Judith is an only child, with her only playmates being the five cousins next door: Julian, Charlie, Roddy, Martin and Mariella. Childhood friendships develop into romantic entanglements that continue as Judith leaves home for Girton College, Cambridge.[7] Judith's brief romantic involvement with Jennifer, a fellow student, scandalized contemporary readers.[4]
With the exception of Alfred Noyes, most contemporary reviews concentrated on what was perceived as the author's unhealthy preoccupation with sex.[4] In her memoir The Swan in the Evening, Lehmann states 'It was discussed, and even reviewed, in certain quarters as the outpourings of a sex-maniac'.[2] The Evening Standard cited Dusty Answer and Alec Waugh's The Loom of Youth as being a 'corrupting influence' on the young.[4] The novel triggered a literary scandal and came to be regarded as an epitome of the Zeitgeist.[8]

Bach Restored in Japan
TOKYO (AFP) – Une cantate profane longtemps perdue de Jean-Sébastien Bach a été ressuscitée ce week-end à Tokyo, en première mondiale, sous l'inspiration et la direction du chef américain Joshua Rifkin.
On February 21, 2017, San Diego Opera presented Giuseppe Verdi's last composition, Falstaff, at the Civic Theater. Although this was the second performance in the run and the 21st was a Tuesday, there were no empty seats to be seen. General Director David Bennett assembled a stellar international cast that included baritone Roberto de Candia in the title role and mezzo-soprano Marianne Cornetti singing her first Mistress Quickly.
In Neil Armfield's new production of Die Zauberflöte at Lyric Opera of Chicago the work is performed as entertainment on a summer's night staged by neighborhood children in a suburban setting. The action takes place in the backyard of a traditional house, talented performers collaborate with neighborhood denizens, and the concept of an onstage audience watching this play yields a fresh perspective on staging Mozart's opera.
Patricia Racette's Salome is an impetuous teenage princess who interrupts the royal routine on a cloudy night by demanding to see her stepfather's famous prisoner. Racette's interpretation makes her Salome younger than the characters portrayed by many of her famous colleagues of the past. This princess plays mental games with Jochanaan and with Herod. Later, she plays a physical game with the gruesome, natural-looking head of the prophet.
On February 17, 2017 Pacific Opera Project performed Gaetano Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore at the Ebell Club in Los Angeles. After that night, it can be said that neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night can stay this company from putting on a fine show. Earlier in the day the Los Angeles area was deluged with heavy rain that dropped up to an inch of water per hour. That evening, because of a blown transformer, there was no electricity in the Ebell Club area.
There has been much reconstruction of Marseille's magnificent Opera Municipal since it opened in 1787. Most recently a huge fire in 1919 provoked a major, five-year renovation of the hall and stage that reopened in 1924.
With her irresistible cocktail of spontaneity and virtuosity, Cecilia Bartoli is a beloved favourite of Amsterdam audiences. In triple celebratory mode, the Italian mezzo-soprano chose Rossini's La Cenerentola, whose bicentenary is this year, to mark twenty years of performing at the Concertgebouw, and her twenty-fifth performance at its Main Hall.
Matthew Rose and Gary Matthewman Winterreise: a Parallel Journey at the Wigmore Hall, a recital with extras. Schubert's winter journey reflects the poetry of Wilhelm Müller, where images act as signposts mapping the protagonist's psychological journey.
Donizetti's Anna Bolena, composed in 1830, didn't make it to Lisbon until 1843 when there were 14 performances at its magnificent Teatro São Carlos (opened 1793), and there were 17 more performances spread over the next two decades. The entire twentieth century saw but three (3) performances in this European capital.
It is difficult to know where to begin to praise the stunning achievement of Opera San Jose's West Coast premiere of Silent Night.
Like Carmen, Billy Budd is an operatic personage of such breadth and depth that he becomes unique to everyone. This signals that there is no Billy Budd (or Carmen) who will satisfy everyone. And like Carmen, Billy Budd may be indestructible because the opera will always mean something to someone.
American composer John Adams turns 70 this year. By way of celebration no less than seven concerts in this season's NTR ZaterdagMatinee series feature works by Adams, including this concert version of his first opera, Nixon in China.
Despite the freshness, passion and directness, and occasional wry quirkiness, of many of the works which formed this lunchtime recital at the Wigmore Hall - given by mezzo-soprano Kathryn Rudge, pianist James Baillieu and viola player Guy Pomeroy - a shadow lingered over the quiet nostalgia and pastoral eloquence of the quintessentially 'English' works performed.
'Nobody does Gilbert and Sullivan anymore.' This was the comment from many of my friends when I mentioned the revival of Mike Leigh's 2015 production of The Pirates of Penzance at English National Opera (ENO). Whilst not completely true (English Touring Opera is doing Patience next month), this reflects the way performances of G&S have rather dropped out of the mainstream. That Leigh's production takes the opera on its own terms and does not try to send it up, made it doubly welcome.
On Feb 3, 2017, Arizona Opera presented Giacomo Puccini's dramatic opera Madama Butterfly. Sandra Lopez was the naive fifteen-year-old who falls hopelessly in love with the American Naval Officer.
In the last of my three day adventure, I headed to Vienna for the Wiener Philharmoniker at the Musikverein (my first time!) for Mahler and Brahms.
In Amsterdam legend Janine Jansen and the seventh Principal Conductor of the Royal Concertgebouw, Daniele Gatti, came together for their first engagement in a ravishing performance of Berg's Violin Concerto.
I extravagantly scheduled hearing the Berliner, Concertgebouw Orchestra, and Wiener Philharmoniker, to hear these three top orchestra perform their series programmes opening the New Year.
There is no bigger or more prestigious name in avant-garde French theater than Romeo Castellucci (b. 1960), the Italian metteur en scène of this revival of Arthur Honegger's mystère lyrique, Joan of Arc at the Stake (1938) at the Opéra Nouvel in Lyon.
On January 28, 2017, Los Angeles Opera premiered James Robinson's nineteen twenties production of Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio, which places the story on the Orient Express. Since Abduction is a work with spoken dialogue like The Magic Flute, the cast sang their music in German and spoke their lines in English.
Fecund Jason, father of his wife Isifile's twins and as well father of his seductress Medea's twins, does indeed have a problem — he prefers to sleep with and wed Medea. In this resurrection of the most famous opera of the seventeenth century he evidently also sleeps with Hercules.

TOKYO (AFP) - Une cantate profane longtemps perdue de Jean-Sébastien Bach a été ressuscitée ce week-end à Tokyo, en première mondiale, sous l'inspiration et la direction du chef américain Joshua Rifkin.
La "Cantate du Mariage BWV216" a été retrouvée il y a un an, complètement par hasard, dans les papiers d'une pianiste japonaise, Chieko Hara. Décédée en décembre 2001 à l'âge de 86 ans, Mme Hara avait fait une grande partie de sa carrière en Europe.

|Better detection of illegal weapons training underway for police and customs officers
|Written by Administrator
|Friday, 14 August 2015 00:00
In Belize, as well as in other Central American countries such as Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, gun violence has been a problem that continues to plague the different governments and police departments. The problem is, nobody can clearly say where the guns are coming from, and how to stop them from entering a jurisdiction. Well, to better equip Belize's Police Department and the Customs Department, specialists from the Central American Program on Small Arms and Light Weapons Control (CASAC) is holding a special training at the Custom's Department's Office in Port Loyola, Belize City. It will last for 3 days from August 11th to the 14th, and CASAC, which is an entity under Central American Integration System (SICA), will teach these officers, who work at border entry points about how to detect the smuggling of weapons into the Country.

The metro and train station 200 meters, serving the entire region, the EPFL University is just 5 minutes.
Easy location, close to shops and the lake.
The reason why i gave 4 stars instead of is because the sofa bed in the living room was broken so one of our kids had to sleep on a blow up mattress which was not such great quality. Evertything else was perfect.
This flat is therapeutic to stay in - it is extremely comfortable and spacious and makes for a very relaxing stay. It is very convenient for public transport to the city centre (bus and train) and for local supermarkets and shops. There is also a very nice Brasserie nearby. Superb!
Beautiful spacious apartment! Only reason I gave 4 stars not 5 is that as an American, if I hadn't lived in Europe I'd never had figured out how to work everything....blinds, oven, washing machine, coffee pot, trash, etc. I hope owner starts a guest manual like other VRBO's have. But keys were exactly where they said, it was very clean, easy to access public transport (again, directions for foreigners would be helpful), excellent Internet, safe area, grocery nearby. If you're in Lausanne this is the place to stay!
Although keys was not on spot and we had to stay that night in hotel but that was some unavoidable problems with owners.Later he gave us that apartment free for 2 nights to compensate that problem .He care for all problems and didn't charge from us .Apartment is modern and washroom was very clean.I thankful to owner ,who realized and compensate.
Très bon séjour. Appartement très confortable et bien décoré.
Großzügige Räume,sehr moderne und schicke Einrichtung, gute Informationen vom Vermieter, prima Tiefgaragenstellplatz (in Lausanne unverzichtbar).
Umgebung nicht sehr attraktiv und verkehrsreich, aber Bus, Bahn und Supermarkt in unmittelbarer Nähe. Stadtzentrum recht gut erreichbar.
Insgesamt ein gutes Quartier für Stadt und Umland.

Skip to comments.College Expels George Zimmerman Following Trayvon Martin Shooting
Posted on 03/22/2012 10:53:38 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
In light of Trayvon Martins death, Seminole State College has expelled George Zimmerman, the man who shot Martin. The college released a statement Thursday addressing the high-profile controversy citing student safety as the sole reason.
The statement said:
Due to the highly charged and high-profile controversy involving this student, Seminole State has taken the unusual but necessary step this week to withdraw Mr. Zimmerman from enrollment. [...] This decision is based solely on our responsibility to provide for the safety of our students on campus as well as for Mr. Zimmerman.
The Orlando Sentinel reports Zimmerman was working toward an Associate in Arts degree:
Zimmerman, 28, first enrolled at the college in 2003 and was working toward a vocational certificate to become an insurance agent. He re-enrolled in 2009 and was working toward an Associate in Arts degree in a general studies program, according to the college.
NOt jus the local media. My news station (ABC) is reporting that Zimmerman just shot the unarmed kid as he was walking down the street.
What a country!! Last year a couple of black punks drop a shopping cart from two stories onto a white woman walking below. She suffers extensive brain injuries. The two perps go to court.......and you guessed it.......walk out the door.
From the Charleston Conservative Examiner:
1. The witness reports that George Zimmerman was on the ground and Trayvon is on top of him punching him.
2. The witness says that George Zimmerman was screaming and yelling for help.
3. Police arrive and find Zimmerman bleeding on his face and the back of his head. He also has had grass stains on his back. All this confirms the story told by Zimmerman and the witness.
4. Police play the 911 tape for Trayvon Martin's father, who tells police that the voice screaming is not the voice of his son.
Trayvon Martin was a towering 6'2 football player.
"Self defense? Yeah the poor guy really had to shoot a kid in the chest Im sure. He brought this on himself and this really shouldnt be a liberal/conservative or gun rights issue".
Maybe you have some info the rest of us don't have. All the facts have not come out, only the hysterical writings & broadcasts of a" lynch mob" hysterical media.
Sure would like to know why Martin was suspended from the Miami high school just a day or two before.
This entire incident is getting uglier every day.
To my fellow CCW FRiends: Stay alert and safe.
And is he white?
Man he looks like the guy from the Dos Equis commercial.
Absolutely. Or if he were an Angela Davis type of radical.
It's almost like Richard Jewell, all over again:
Are you on the jury? Do you have the facts?
I KNOW people who have had to pull a gun because they were being beaten up by someone bigger and stronger than them. Fists are deadly force, too. Think it through before condemning Zimmerman.
Big - time BARF alert story.
Holding a gun may make you think others are too
Mar 20, 6:09 PM (ET)
By MALCOLM RITTER
NEW YORK (AP) - No one knows what led a Florida neighborhood watch captain to shoot Trayvon Martin, a teenager carrying no weapon.
But a new study raises an intriguing question: Could the watch captain have been fooled into thinking the youth was armed in part because he himself was holding a gun?
In the study, volunteers who held a toy gun and glimpsed fleeting images of people holding an object were biased toward thinking the object was a gun.
It's another indication that the brain shapes what we perceive in the world beyond the information that comes in through our eyes, said James Brockmole of the University of Notre Dame, who did the work with psychologist Jessica Witt at Purdue University.,,,
I hope he sues the college for discrimination. PC is a killer to all who come in contact with that dreaded disease.
"You mean instead of the 95% he got last time?"
So. Wooo hoo! Five percent less would be an improvement then!
What percentage of blacks voted for Obama?
According to Politico.com, 95%
DD,everytime a perp gets taken out, the person who used self-defense is the culprit in the eyes of the mindless wonders. This whole incident is the cause the deceased for not obeying the law aginst trespassing in a gated community.
Zimmerman used the required force to save his life or he would have been beat to death. What we have is a punk with an attitude and probably a racist getting his just in due form.
My neighborhood is not gated, but when I see someone in the area I do not know, they are checked out in a professional manner. I do carry concealed legally, but hope I never have to shoot someone. Your posts make good and sound logic to people who have not drank the koolaid.
Must have has the O.J. jury.
Must have has the O.J. jury.
He's just a good kid trying to put his violent past (assaulting a cop - smacking his girl around) behind him and get an edumacation.
Maybe he fell while trying to chase the kid down, slipped and landed on his back. Remember its nighttime.
what does the guy's height have to do with anything? is it a crime to be a tall athletic teen???
even if he is 6'2 instead of 6'0, a 28 yr old man by way of testosterone and age, will be much more developed than a 17 yr old.
please, the kid's height is irrelevant in this situation. to bring it tells me you put criminal culpability on someone just because they're tall.
dude, seriously read the stories. are you the only person missing that the kid had the right to be there, since he was staying visiting his father's girlfriend??
and where do you find grounds to call the kid a "punk with attitude"? if you listen to the 911 tapes, Zimmerman is more of the punk with attitude, a guy who wouldn't even listen to the 911 operator who told him not to confront someone. there was no crime being committed by the kid. so how is the kid a perp?
Some folks can only afford to take one or two classes a semester. It'll take you a while just to work through all of the Federally mandated "classes".
If it's insignificant, why is the media using 3 year old babyface teen pictures, of a much smaller kid?
Did you happen to read the first 4 bullet points?
Size is a factor in the dead kids beating on the shooter.
The left sees this event as an opportunity to attack the self defense laws, concealed carry, and whites in general.
They care nothing for the dead 17 yr old.
Zimmerman didn't afford the presumption of innocence to Trayvon. Zimmerman had him tried and convicted for walking on a public sidewalk. What's good for the goose.
So self-defense accepted by the police is justification for his college expelling him, and it's his fault?
What a collectivist asshat you are.
Well, this 6'3", 160lb, 17 year old footbal player you call a "kid" was assaulting and battering Zimmerman, who had a broken nose, a bloody face, and had been knocked to the ground while calling for help, at the time he was shot - according to eye witnesses.
But of course, he was BLACK.
So of course you're right, there was no crime being committed by the tender child, who was brutally cut down just as he was turning his life around, simply because he had black skin and was wearing a hoodie.
How about "Two wrongs don't make a right".
No such person named dude, except maybe you on this site. :)
Clearly you didn't bother to read my post. Try again.
Of course I do. However, I've argued this to death and I don't have any real interest in debating the matter further in this thread. If you want to PM me, I'd be happy to explain my reasoning as to why I don't consider Mr. Zimmerman to be the victim in this instance.
What does the police report say as far as eyewitness accounts go? Where does it say Zimmerman was knocked to the ground? Maybe Zimmerman, being the aggressor, got out, gave chase, grabbed the guy's shirt and they both tumbled and it turned into a struggle.
In any case, a stranger was pursuing a kid minding his own business so any self-defense would have been on the part of Trayvon, not Zimmerman.
Oh, and last I checked, 17 is still a kid in America.
Someone remind me. What country is this?
Russia, without the charm.
A college can't expect to be able to protect Zimmerman or others if some of folks decide to make a hit on the man while he is on campus.
This makes sense to me.
See post #28.
Current photos of Martin. Or at least more recent. From his FB, they were scrubbed.

Last time I tested Bing for some weeks, the result quality was still lacking and I had to go back to Google. Any news on that?
@deiruch:Top result says 4 US Dollar = 3.139988 Euro. I think this even worked prior to the update.
@dtower: Yeah, perhaps in the US. Try any other location, not even "International" works... Sad state of affairs.
@deiruch: Works in Canada... we don't have the update yet though.
Shame!.. why are you guys using chrome instead of IE.

Blue and Gold Macaws can reach 76 to 86 cm (30 to 34 in) long and weigh 900 to 1500 grams (1.9 to 3.3 lbs), making it one of the larger members of its family. They are vivid in appearance with blue wings and tail, dark blue chin, golden under parts, and a green forehead. Beaks are black. The naked face is white, turning pink in excited birds, and lined with small black feathers.
There is little variation in plumage across the range. Some birds have a more orangey or "butterscotch" underside color, particularly on the breast. This was often seen in Trinidad birds and others of the Caribbean area. The Blue-and-yellow Macaw uses its powerful beak for breaking nutshells, and also for climbing up and hanging from trees.

How to Tile an Arch Design Around a Fireplace
A fireplace commands focal-point attention in whatever room it occupies, but if its current style clashes with the room's décor and design, it only functions as a big eyesore in the space. Changing that is just a matter of changing its facade, and the design and material options are numerous. One such way to give an existing fireplace a new look is to make it looked arched -- softening its appearance with interesting curves where it used to only have straight lines. Prep the fireplace with the backing and tile mortar it needs, and tile it over with an arched design.
Materials Needed
Tile mortar
Transfer paper
Tile saw or rotary cutter with tile blade
Stucco or textured wall finish
Transferring the Arch From One Side to the Next
Step 1
Make the outline for the arch using a starting midpoint and two endpoints that mark where the curve of the arch ends. This is a freestyle approach that custom fits the arch to the size and profile of the fireplace's facade.
Mark the midpoint of the arch a few inches above the center of the fireplace's opening with a marker. Come down on the two side edges of the fireplace's facade 8 to 12 inches from the level of the midpoint mark, and mark the endpoint of the curve on one side with a marker. The endpoint of the curve is where the curve ends and the vertical line continues downward to the base of the fireplace.
Step 2
Sketch the outline of the arch from the midpoint to the endpoint with a marker. Follow the design of an arch -- come down with a marker at a 45-degree angle from the midpoint, curve the mark down and to the right towards the endpoint on the side, level it off horizontally, and then curve it down to the endpoint.
Step 3
Lay a large sheet of transfer paper over the arch, and trace the outline of the arch through the paper.
Step 4
Cut the arch shape from the midpoint to the endpoint with a pair of scissors.
Step 5
Flip the transfer paper over, and align the midpoint of the paper to the midpoint of the arch, but with the curve of the arch on the other side. Trace the outline of the arch on the other side of the fireplace. Follow this guide for installing the tiles.
Diamond-Oriented Square Tiles
Step 1
Select 5-inch or smaller tiles to work with.
Step 2
Start at the fireplace's midpoint. Orient the first tile like a diamond with its corners pointed in a north-south-east-west orientation. Apply the mortar and affix the tile to the fireplace's facade.
Step 3
Install the next tiles -- one on each side of the middle tile -- just below the east and west corners of the first tile.
Step 4
Install the rest of the tiles following the arched outline on the fireplace, on both sides. Install the last tiles vertically downward until they reach the base of the fireplace.
Step 5
Finish the tile with grout, and complete the rest of the fireplace's facade with a wall-textured finish, such as stucco.

Can someone tell me what a Nessler based test kit is? Thanks.
Hi Trishfish,
So far as I can tell, it is a test for ammonia that utilizes a substance called Nessler's Solution (or Reagent).
Here is what I found about it on Wikipedia:
I'm not sure how it differs from other ammonia tests. Perhaps somebody else can shed some light on the subject?

I think we wear different sizes, waiting to hear back if they are US or UK as UK will be too big for me anyway (not sure who else actually has the same size shoe as me here).... I think they are UK and I also have no problem proxy shipping them to youpost #51335 of 13872810/26/12 at 6:27amQuote:
I think we do as well. In all honesty, if it's something on the fly and without insole measurements, I'll take anything from a US 7.5-8.5. If I'm at a shop and buying them, I'll of course get the exact size. If not, I'll take the gamble and pass them along if they don't work.
Probably not the best system but I don't have any shoes that don't fit. I was most surprised by a pair of Allen Edmonds I picked up in the US. I've never worn a 9, so I thought they were destined to be sold or shipped. I tried them on and they fit really well. I suppose it just pays to try on a number of sizes/widths/lasts to get a good fit!post #51336 of 13872810/26/12 at 6:30am

Ran across these Cole Haans made in England, can anyone give any insight? Worth a cop for a flip? They're size 7-1/2, looks like they might have been made by Church's?
Good News for everyone who PM'd me about these shoes, I was able to go back and pick them up so depending on US/UK sizing they have been claimed but the fun part is when I went back I saw a Beck #277 Deluxe Twin Shoe Polisher in Chrome for $12 so I picked it up. Works like a champ and will be a fun thing to have in the closet!
The shoe trip kinda paid for itself with the new toy!post #51339 of 13872810/26/12 at 6:35am

Ok since we're sort of on that topic. I have this horse head mask
And was planning on wearing it with a standard Vietnam era jungle camo bdu top or jacket, and maybe grabbing a toy gun along with it to be... Warhorse. That translates better than if I wore a military top similar to the ones seen in the film right?post #51340 of 13872810/26/12 at 6:37amQuote:Originally Posted by Pawz
Went to the Goodwill yesterday for the first time in AGES. Got there a few minutes after the doors had opened.
There was a man there donned in a suit moving hurriedly through the ties. I my mind, I said "This guy is either an EBAYer or a SFer"; I was swayed more to the latter based on his clothing (which fit rather well, albeit not seamlessly - I guessed he'd found a good RtW suit and didn't think it worth it to alter).
Anyhow, I moved to the other side of the tie rack, looking at labels as quickly as I could, hoping he'd not yet gotten to my side or that he'd missed something. He left, taking nothing (and I found nothing, save a nameless Made-in-France tie and a mainline Calvin Klein tie with some damage). He moved to the shirts.
I darted for the jackets, hoping he'd not gotten there first (my hopes seemed to have a good foundation, since the Goodwill opened at 9a.m. and I arrived there at 9:08a.m). Found a blue, windowpaned Canali Proposta SC, but it was damaged and two sizes too big for me. Also found a dark-blue PRL SC, but it looked dated and not worth my $11.
I moved to the shirt rack opposite the one the man was meticulously searching through. I was watching to see if he'd selected anything, but he had not. I moved VERY fast, and made it to the same rack as he, but on the opposite end (which he'd not yet gotten to). I found nothing.
I knew this guy was aware of me, so I gathered the courage to speak (so he wouldn't think I was checking him out or anything). I asked (feeling a bit foolish), "Probably wishful thinking on my part, but are you from StyleForum?" He asked me to repeat, which I did. He replied, "I don't know what StyleForum is". I said, "Ah. I was hoping I knew you". He chuckled condescendingly.
At the end of the day, I snagged a red Boss Black shirt - its pits caked in deodorant. I took it home and was able to save it.
That's my Goodwill adventure.
Still seeking cheap, Band of Outsiders ties (preferably narrow ones).
You may have outwitted yourself here. In my experience, you can never tell what other folks are looking for. This guy might have been one of those who goes every day (which is what I do, and since I'm usually stealing a few minutes during work hours, I'm usually in suit and tie). If that's the case, he could move swiftly because he's already been through 90 percent of the stuff and is merely checking out new arrivals. You, on the other hand, have an entire inventory to examine.
But you just never know. He might easily have been looking for a Halloween costume, it being that time of year. I once encountered my wife's boss at a GW. He dresses well but would NEVER wear anything from a thrift store--turns out he was looking for a tripod for a telescope, which shows how much he knows about thrift stores ("Excuse me, can you please direct me to the tripod aisle?") I can't count the number of times I've found gems in the wake of folks who look like they're buying everything in sight based on labels, i.e,, likely flippers. I also can't count the number of times I've found great stuff by slowing down and doing a thorough twenty, even thirty, minute comb of a store that I usually dash through in five minutes.
One exception here is shoes. Since they're displayed in front of God and everybody, the Aldens, AE's, etc., really stick out, so I can see heading someone off at the proverbial pass/rack when it comes to shoes. But when it comes to shirts and trousers and jackets and suits and ties, I think you're better off playing your own game and moving at your own pace. I'm sure that I've left tons of great polo shirts and trousers because I rarely take the time to comb those racks, given the time it takes to do it right. I also never check the denim stuff because I know nothing about jeans and don't care to learn. So, if I had been that guy you saw, there still would have been plenty of opportunity.post #51341 of 13872810/26/12 at 6:41am

Inevitable: ASU caves, will probably award honorary degree to Obama
posted at 6:30 pm on April 10, 2009 by Allahpundit
Turns out it was nothing personal, just a set policy about not awarding degrees to politicians who are still in office. No matter: An injustice hath been done to The One, and for that ASU must answer. Grovel, ASU President Michael Crow. Grovel like the wind:
"There was no intended slight," Crow said by telephone from his office in Tempe. "We had not yet talked about what honors we might give him as our commencement speaker, and we still have a month to work all that out. We don't want anyone to think we do not recognize what he has achieved and what he means in America."…
Past recipients of ASU honorary degrees included an aloe-vera magnate, the director of "Victor Victoria," a Chinese official, a Canadian politician, and lots of donors and fundraisers…
"Typically, the university's policy relative to honorary degrees has been that people who are sitting politicians, we don't given an honorary degree," he explained. "It's kind of a local thing. We've gotten a huge reaction from a lot of folks as if some decision was made not to give him one. Far from it."…
Crow had said in a statement when the school was selected by the White House: "The progressive leadership he has already displayed and the values he espouses are a great example for our students and for the extended community that surrounds us."
ASU's president said officials now are considering conferring an honorary degree, regardless of local custom. "We intend to recognize him in multiple ways," Crow said. "As to this issue relative to the honorary degree, we don't know where it came from."
Actually, there was a case in the not-too-distant past of a sitting president being denied a degree for apparently political reasons. See if you can guess which one, and which school, then click the image to watch.

Black Conditioning Rope- 1.5" x 40' with protective sheath. Constructed of a rigid, black nylon with ends capped in durable composite coating to prevent fraying. 40' in length by 1.5" diameter. 2-Year Manufacturers Warranty against defect. There comes a point in every guy's life that calls for change. Your fitness regimen is no exception. How many times can you bench those same plates? Aside from the boredom factor, there's also the drawback of the plateau effect. Adding an unconventional training technique to your fitness routine will not only put some life back into your workouts, but also shock some different muscles into getting in on the action. Originally developed for specific combat sports such as football and Mixed Martial Arts, heavy rope training is now finding its way into the mainstream. If you're looking for a highly effective, back-to-basics type of conditioning that brings a new twist to your fitness routine, this is it. Along with increasing your strength, power, and endurance, the constant motion of rope battling will floor you with a muscle toning, metabolic workout unlike any other. You'll be shocked at how fast a few quick whips can get you to your maximum heart rate. There are tons of pulse pounding, heavy rope exercises to ramp up your cardio and build your core strength. Common movements include waves, slams, throws, spirals, and whips. All involve swinging your arms up and down (or side to side) in some manner for timed intervals. To maximize your efforts, focus on maintaining the intensity of the motion from start to finish, no matter how much it burns-and trust us, it's going to burn.

I ordered a bookcase for my daughter for xmas from there sister website one stop nursery. I also have rang and emailed several times and never had a response even though they took my money and emailed confirmation with a delivery of 3-5 days. Over a month later I also have not received my item and have now reported the company to fraud action and to the police as they are clearly scamming people. You can also see on the site that the reviews that are good are similar In writing and language which makes it clear it is the company and same person writing the reviews. My daughter went with one less present and we are also out of pocket. I would advise not to use this company if you want to receive your item.
