OSU, USC losses don't help Ducks
The Beavers crashed on the gridiron in Seattle last night, blemishing an unbeaten season up to that point. We doubted that they were truly top 10 caliber, and they won't reach that lofty height again this year. Meanwhile, USC also lost, which is doubly delightful. It's always good when the Trojans go down, and now when they lose to the Ducks it won't be such a big feather in the Ducks' cap.
With no top 10 opponent left on its schedule, UC Nike seems a less likely candidate for the national title game. In other news, Stanford beat Washington State, but not convincingly, further muddying the reputation of the Pac 12 conference. Both Oregon teams have Stanford, and each other, still to play.

Unique Christmas Gift
Santa Mail
It can be difficult trying to think of brand new ideas for Christmas presents. I know I am tired of getting the same old gifts for my kids Christmas after Christmas. So, I decided to shop around for a budget friendly, unique and sentimental gift for my kids. After hours of searching the web, I came across a very distinct gift idea that I had, surprisingly, never thought of before: Santa Mail. www.TheDearSantaSite.com sells letters from Santa Claus. Each letter is personally addressed to your child and are mailed to you from North Pole, Alaska (which I thought was a brilliant idea). There are five letters you can choose from or you can create your own letter! The best part is it's only $8.95! Five minutes after browsing through the website, I became a subscriber. As soon as Dear Santa begins accepting orders, I will be one of the first in line!
- Dear Santa
Dear Santa is a site which sends santa mail to kids all over the world during the holiday season.We have served over 250,000 kids and counting! You can choose from our five unique santa letters or create your own personal letter for your child.

Federal, State & Local Holidays
Holidays are a welcome break, and a chance to celebrate important events. The Federal Government recognizes 10 holidays. However, several things can affect when you observe your holidays such as your alternative work schedule (if you work one) and if you work full time or part-time. There are also special rules for state and local holidays for employees who work outside the Washington DC metropolitan area.
Federal Holidays
• New Year's Day January 1
• Martin Luther King's Birthday 3rd Monday in January
• Washington's Birthday 3rd Monday in February
• Memorial Day last Monday in May
• Independence Day July 4
• Labor Day 1st Monday in September
• Columbus Day 2nd Monday in October
• Veterans' Day November 11
• Thanksgiving Day 4th Thursday in November
• Christmas Day December 25
Inauguration Day Holiday
If you work in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area, you will have 1 additional holiday, Inauguration Day. This holiday falls on January 20th of every 4th year. If you are working in Washington on this day (even if you normally are assigned elsewhere), it will be a holiday. If you are on travel elsewhere, it will not.
If Inauguration Day falls on a Sunday, the next day chosen for observance of Inauguration Day is the holiday.
If Inauguration Day falls on a Saturday, Federal employees in the DC area who do not work on Saturday will not receive an Inauguration Day holiday.
Determining Your Holiday Day Off
Normally, if you're scheduled to work on a Federal holiday, you'll have that day off and you'll be paid normally, whether you're a full-time or part-time employee.
If you work on an intermittent schedule (daily, hourly, piece-work, etc.), you don't receive paid holidays or replacement holidays for days off, and if you work on a holiday, you don't receive premium pay.
Replacement or In-Lieu-Of Holidays
Some employees can't observe the holiday on the day designated as the holiday because of their work schedule. These employees get a "replacement or in-lieu-of holiday."
Part-time employees do not get replacement holidays if the holiday falls on one of their scheduled non-work days. If you're a part-time employee, you may be given administrative leave if you are unable to work because an office is closed to provide a replacement holiday for other employees.
Working on a Holiday
A shift that overlaps two days, one of which is a holiday, is considered a holiday throughout.
If you have to work on the Federal holiday, you'll be paid at the holiday premium rate for your scheduled non-overtime hours, whether you're a full or part-time employee.
Special rules apply if you work outside the U.S., if your normal work week is not Monday-Friday.
State and Local Holidays
If you work at an office or other site outside of the Washington DC area, you will normally be given an excused absence and your workplace will be closed on state, local, territorial or foreign holidays celebrated locally. Whether or not you get the day off is based on a determination by the head of your operating unit that work can't be performed effectively because of the holiday.
Unscheduled state and local holidays will not automatically result in the closing of your workplace.
Your office will be closed for unscheduled holidays only if the building where you work is closed, building services are unavailable, local transportation services are unavailable, or your primary duties involve interaction with people and organizations that will be observing the holiday.
If your office is closed, the day is a non-workday and:
You can't be given an excused absence for personal reasons related to a local holiday (such as at the request of an employee to attend a local ceremony); absence will be charged to leave.

New Delhi: Here is a rarest of the rare and beautiful picture of a fish that has gone viral on the Internet with more than 2 million views.
Tim Samuel, an underwater photographer, shot this stunning image of a fish swimming inside a jellyfish's belly off Australia's east coast.
The picture was captured in December last year when Tim Samuel was in the water with a friend near popular tourist resort Byron Bay and came across the little creature trapped inside the only slightly larger jellyfish.
The expression on the golden fish's face was visible through the transparent jellyfish which appears to be one of fear.
Mr Samuel had posted the image in his Instagram page with the caption - 'He was trapped in there but controlled where the jellyfish was moving'.
After the image was reposted by @discoverocean on Monday, Samuel said his phone started "going crazy". "When @franny.plumridge and I stumbled upon it we knew we had found something special, but no idea just how unique and rare this sighting was," he wrote.
I'm completely blown away by all the attention it is getting from all over the world." Some speculated that the fish was being stung, while others pointed out that part of its tail appeared to be still outside the jellyfish, providing a clue to its apparent ability to steer. Marine life expert William Gladstone confirmed the rareness of the shot which has been viewed more than 2.3 million times on imgur.
The academic from the University of Technology in Sydney told The Sydney Morning Herald he had seen a young trevally — a species of fish — hide among jellyfish, but had "never seen one like this where the fish is just a little smaller than the jellyfish".
Mr Samuel said he had considered whether to "set the little guy free", but ultimately decided it was best to "just let nature run its course".

Transcript of Interview: 2UE
13 November 2015
Topics: Western Sydney Airport and the potential for a rail link
Stuart Bocking: There's been a lot of talk about the need for a sort of high speed rail link, certainly, between the CBD and Badgerys Creek once that airport is built and today a very important launch of what is a now a scoping study that will have a look at the various options around all of this. It is critical if we're going to do the thing properly, let's get it right the first time and rail has to be a part of all of that. Paul Fletcher is the Minister for Major Projects in the Turnbull Government and I am pleased to say is on the line. Minister, good morning.
Paul Fletcher: Good morning Stuart.
Stuart Bocking: Thank you for your time. What are we looking at here? What are some of the options when you launch this today with the Federal and State Government?
Paul Fletcher: That's right, so the New South Wales and Federal governments are coming together to establish a scoping study into the options for rail to the Western Sydney Airport. So, Western Sydney Airport scheduled to commence operations in the mid 2020 and to start with, about five to 10 million passengers a year, that'll build up over time. Now, there is a very significant package of ground transport connections already announced and work under way, a $3.6 billion project that upgrades to the Northern Road, Bringelly Road, we're going to build the new M12 Expressway which will run from the M7 to connect to the airport. But definitely(*) there's the question of rail…
Stuart Bocking: Yes.
Paul Fletcher: …and so this coping study that we've announced today is going to look very carefully at the options for rail. We're going to look at what the route should be to where the line should actually run, when it should be built and, very importantly, how it should be funded because it's going to be a multibillion dollar exercise to build a rail connection. Now, one of the important questions is, the connectivity to the airport from the major urban centres of Western Sydney, Campbell Town, Liverpool, Penrith and so on, because Western Sydney Airport will serve people in Western Sydney, an area that's—it's projected to grow from two million now to three million people over the next 20 years.
It's also going to be a major jobs generator, by 2031 it's expected to have around 9000 jobs so it's going to be very, very important to have the best possible connectivity to the airport from Western Sydney and so that's why it's important to do this study to have a careful look at what the right route should be, what's the right timing for it and of course how it will be funded and it's important that we have the New South Wales and Federal Government working together on this, the Baird and Turnbull Government working in lockstep on this to identify the best possible options for rail connectivity to Western Sydney Airport.
Stuart Bocking: There's no question about that. We know initially it is going to be one runway. I remember Warren Truss, the overall minister responsible in this area just a couple of weeks back when he was talking about the longer term plans for the Badgerys Creek Airport that it wouldn't involve rail initially. That might come at some point down the track as numbers build. Is this now recognition that rail is absolutely crucial to this project from the moment it starts operating?
Paul Fletcher: Well look we've always said that there will be a rail connection at the appropriate point and the airport is being planned to be rail ready. That's to say as part of the airport, we're planning tunnels for the rail line to go into and what's called a station box which is the excavation which is where the station will then be built…
Stuart Bocking: [Interrupts] So rail—just to clarify, rail ready doesn't necessarily mean that the train actually runs from day one, but that routes are mapped out and some of the other infrastructure work surrounding that has already been undertaken?
Paul Fletcher: Well, it first of all means that within the airport precinct itself, you've mapped out where the line will run, where the station will be. Then the questions is what's the connection from the airport into the Sydney Metropolitan Rail Network and that's the question that this study is going to focus on and that's why it's so important that we have the New South Wales and Commonwealth Government working together. Of course, a key point here is that it's the rail needs, not just for the airport, but of the broader Western Sydney area because the airport will catalyse economic growth and development but there's plenty of other things happening in Western Sydney and we need to make sure that the rail planning meets the needs of Western Sydney as well as the Western Sydney Airport…
Stuart Bocking: [Talking over] Yeah well, that's right. Well, you have a look, as it is now, the South West Rail Link which runs through Edmondson Park and Leppington. It stops at Leppington but it's only a hop, skip and a jump onto Badgerys Creek and already of course at a state level, there's been talk of extending that through Bringelly onto Narellan, ultimately, as an extension of the South Western Rail Link which then ties you into centres like Narellan, obviously Camden, that link runs back to Glenfield which gets you onto Liverpool and Campbelltown so that would be a key part of the planning here I'd imagine.
Paul Fletcher: Well, Stuart, you're exactly right. That's what we've got to look at. When you say a hop, skip and a jump, you're right, that is the closest—or that's a relatively close connection, it's still about 14 kilometres and when you look at the typical cost of building rail, most recently, as the connection to Leppington or North—the North West Rail Link, you project the cost of those because it's going to be multibillion dollar exercise to get from Leppington to the airport but I guess, a key focus of the study is to say let's do the detailed work on which is the right rail route, which is the right connection, exactly what path should it take?
I mean, even if between Leppington and the side of Western Sydney Airport there's multiple different paths you could take and then of course, how is it to be funded and indeed, the Prime Minister, for example, has been talking a fair bit about the Turnbull Government's interest in a value-capture approach for funding infrastructure and that's the basic idea that when you build a major piece of transport infrastructure like a rail link or indeed as we saw with the M7 a few years ago, you get a major uplift in property value and one of the questions is whether you can tap into that and capture a proportion of that to help fund the very large capital cost…
Stuart Bocking: [Interrupts] That's right, through developers, that's right. And obviously the existing operators of Sydney Airport who have first right of refusal they would have a part to play in all of this as well I would imagine given that they're effectively or, pardon the pun, getting the rails run if they decide that they are going to be the operators of this second airport. In terms then of the link back to the CBD, I suppose, there's range of options, whether you go underground, whether it's a slower trip back via Parramatta and beyond or whether you look to have a faster link that perhaps only stops at one or two stations before it gets back to Redfern and Central.
Paul Fletcher: And you're right. Those are all questions that we need to work through a scoping study and it's all linked together because it partially depends upon where you think the bulk of the passengers would be coming from, will the catchment area be Western Sydney or will it be the entire Sydney Metro area? What's the mix of the domestic and international flights for example? So, that's one reason why it's very important that we have the New South Wales and Federal Governments working closely together on this so that we've got a very good handle on what we believe the passenger mix will be and what sort of traffic that will then put onto the rail link.
But then, of course, this other question about what are broader rail needs for Western Sydney and how would any connection to the airport integrate with and be part of meeting those broader rail needs so that we can get the maximum economic benefit from this major piece of infrastructure this new airport, being delivered by the Commonwealth, but working very closely with the New South Wales Government in terms of all their planning work in relation to Western Sydney and South Western Sydney as growth areas.
Stuart Bocking: Well, it's certainly going to be a huge economic driver and this is one of those opportunities to start almost from scratch to try and get things right, albeit we are trying to integrate into existing systems, whether that be roads, rail and other things but some exciting times ahead. So, launching that today and I appreciate your time this morning.
Paul Fletcher: No, worries Stuart, great to chat.
Stuart Bocking: Appreciate it. Thank you. The Federal Minister for Major Projects, Paul Fletcher.

Is the Ipad air 2 case the same as the Ipad air case? I ask because I just received mine (part #MGTV2ZM/A) and it says Ipad Air not Ipad Air 2
9 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
it is a different case specifically for the ipad air 2. The cutouts for the mics are different than that of the original ipad air case. for what its worth, the box for the iPad Air 2 simply says "iPad Air" on it as well.
- Answered by Allan W from Fontana
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 1
Cases are different, because cutouts and button access externally have changed. Superficially the packaging has also changed, but Apple, in their zeal for minimalism, austerity, and subtlety, have made the change so subtle, it's almost unnoticeable. Aside from the words "2nd Generation" in tiny type on the SKU label on the back, on the front, the word "ipad" is in a lighter typeface for Air 2. For the original Air it's in boldface... Too clever by half, and twice as confusing.

It is different. I'm using my old iPad air case and the volume control buttons don't line up right. I need to get the new one.

No they are not the same. Look at the speaker grill, iPad Air 2 case has single row while the one for the Air has a double row. I have the Midnight Blue iPad Air 2 case and find the fit to be perfect.

I had the same experience. My order was right, but my packing slip and the front of the case just said iPad Air Smart Case with no reference to "2"... I looked harder today and found the answer...
Look on the back of the box on the bottom right corner. Mine has a tiny UPC tag there and on that tag it says "iPad Air (2nd Generation)". I think that is the answer we were looking for.
- Answered by James K P from Richmond
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 5
If you noticed the box when you received your device, it simply said, "iPad Air," as well. No designation of 2. It's Apple's way. I put mine down right next to my wife's iPad Air, purchased March 2014, and instantly could see how much thinner it is. Removed the initial confusion that had me thinking that I'd probably need to check Model number to see if I got the correct item. Felt stupid afterward--Apple has NEVER shipped me the wrong product, why would they start now. The only way that I would have known without a doubt would be if I ordered the Gold iPad--and THAT would not happen. Ever.
- Answered by Russell G from North Palm Beach
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 6
I had the original iPad Air with an iPad case. I bought the air2 yesterday in an Apple Store and was extremely disappointed in the muted colour selection for new cases so the sales person helping me suggested I go with the cover in my colour preference and a 3rd party clear back case. She out it all together and it seemed great. Until I got home and realized that the rear camera and a number of the buttons didn't line up.
Back to another Apple Store today. Explained problem and was told that was probably because it was a third party back, but that the apple case is designed to fit both models. I plan to sell my original iPad Air and since the case is a bit grubby, figured I could just swap it over and sell with no case. Thankfully, I insisted on trying it before I left the store. Sure enough, the case I bought last year doesn't fit this year's model ipad air2.
Clearly they need to educate their sales force that the iPad's have minor but significant changes. And they need to speak to research and development about creating the cases in the cool colors that the covers are noo available in as well... I ended up having to go with red case again instead of the pretty green i got in a cover format yesterday.
- Answered by Jessica R from Lighthouse Point
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 7
On the back of the case box bottom where the barcode is it should say iPad Air (2ND GENERATION).
- Answered by Hunter N from Calabasas
- Flag as inappropriate Answer 8
My iPad Air 2 Smart Case which I bought last week online from the Apple Store, does specifically say iPad Air 2 Smart Case on the front of it (as well as in tiny print on the barcode sticker, as mentioned). Mine is the red one, if it makes any difference.

United States District Court, N.D. California
April 11, 2014
SARA WELLENS, Plaintiff(s),v.DAIICHI SANKYO INC, Defendant(s)
DONNA M. RYU, Magistrate Judge.
Before the court is a joint discovery letter filed by Plaintiffs and Defendant Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. [Docket No. 69.] Defendant seeks to take the deposition of ten women who have opted in to the putative Equal Pay Act class alleged in this case. Defendant also seeks responses to written discovery from a total of seventeen opt-ins. Plaintiffs have filed a motion for conditional certification of the Equal Pay Act class ( see Docket No. 78) and oppose the discovery at this time. Defendant now moves to compel this discovery.
A. Factual Allegations
Defendant manufactures and sells cardiovascular, diabetes, and metastatic melanoma therapies and pharmaceuticals. Compl. [Docket No. 1] ¶ 1. Plaintiffs are current and former female sales employees of Defendant. Id. ¶¶ 14-19. Plaintiffs bring class and collective claims alleging violations of Title VII, California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Equal Pay Act, the California Equal Pay Act, and the California Unfair Business Practices Act, in their individual capacities, and on behalf of certain current, former, and future female sales employees of Defendant. See generally Compl.
Plaintiffs aver that the putative class consists of approximately 1, 500 female sales employees. Docket No. 64 at 3. Plaintiffs list approximately ninety of these putative class members in their Initial Disclosures. Id. Seventeen putative class members have already opted into this case. Letter at 1.
B. Motion for Conditional Class Certification
On March 6, 2014, after the instant discovery letter was filed, Plaintiffs filed a motion for conditional class certification. [Docket No. 78.] The motion includes thirty-one declarations, six from the named Plaintiffs and 25 from former or current employees.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26 provides that a party may obtain discovery "regarding any nonprivileged matter that is relevant to any party's claim or defense." Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b)(1). "Relevant information need not be admissible at the trial if the discovery appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence." Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b)(1). "Relevancy, for the purposes of discovery, is defined broadly, although it is not without ultimate and necessary boundaries." Gonzales v. Google, Inc., 234 F.R.D. 674, 679-80 (N.D. Cal. 2006). "District courts have broad discretion to control the class certification process, and whether or not discovery will be permitted lies within the sound discretion of the trial court." Vinole v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 571 F.3d 935, 942 (9th Cir. 2009) (citations omitted).
Defendant argues that the requested discovery will assist the court in determining the motion for conditional class certification because it will shed light on whether the opt-in Plaintiffs are similarly situated. Plaintiffs respond that discovery regarding opt-in Plaintiffs is premature, and urge the court to delay the discovery until after the motion for conditional class certification has been determined.
"To maintain a collective action under the [Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA")][1] a plaintiff must demonstrate that the putative collective action members are similarly situated." Harris v. Vector Mktg. Corp., 716 F.Supp.2d 835, 837 (N.D. Cal. 2010) (quotation omitted). In this district, courts use a two-step process in making this determination:
Neither the FLSA nor the Ninth Circuit have defined "similarly situated." But a majority of courts have adopted a two-step approach for determining whether a class is "similarly situated." Under this approach, a district court first determines, based on the submitted pleadings and affidavits, whether the proposed class should be notified of the action. At the first stage, the determination of whether the putative class members will be similarly situated is made using a fairly lenient standard, and typically results in "conditional certification" of a representative class. District courts have held that conditional ...

Recommendations and Reviews of Lauren
Lauren is the best11/30/2018 Pavlus Verified Traveler
Lauren kept us informed of anything we should know about our trip. The rebates are great to receive. Thanks.11/23/2018 Pavlus Verified Traveler
Pavlus travel was very helpful with all the steps from planning to final payment. When a issue arose with the incorrect spellling of my husband's name and Gate 1 wanted to charge us $600 to correct the spelling on the airline tickets, both Lauren and especially Paul were able to deal with the matter at no expense to us.11/19/2018 Pavlus Verified Traveler
Have loved the responsiveness of all at Pavlus. People are knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks for all your help.11/12/2018 Pavlus Verified Traveler
We are extremely pleased with Lauren Riesenberger and a Paul Neuenschwander. They in my opinion go far above what is expected from a travel agency. I have called and e-mailed both of them many times in the past few years and without a doubt I hear from them within hours of making contact. To give you an example I contacted Lauren on our most recent cruise due to the fact that we had not received Pavlus's gift in our Stateroom upon arrival. She got back to me immediately and said by the end of the weekend this would be taken care of but come Monday still nothing so I contacted her again and low and behold come Monday afternoon we had a monetary gift from a Pavlus plus our two other friends traveling with us also received the same gift. This in our opinion was way above what we expected. We continue to recommend Pavlus to our friends who are interested in traveling and look forward to working with Lauren and Paul in the future.11/12/2018 Pavlus Verified Traveler
Lauren did a great job in handling all aspects of our recent Oceania cruise to Cuba and Cozumel. No problems encountered and we are ready to book our next adventure. Thank you for your expert assistance.11/12/2018 Pavlus Verified Traveler
My first trip out of the U.S. and had a great time. Looking forward to many more vacations in the coming years and will definitely use Pavlus.11/11/2018 Pavlus Verified Traveler

Lauren is terrific. She genuinely cares about her clients.10/14/2018 Pavlus Verified Traveler
Had some problems with Viking and THEIR customer service, Pavlus intervened and we all thought it was resolved. Alas it was not. This was no fault with Pavlus and you worked hard to try to take care of it but even you were not given the truth. We appreciate all Lauren and YOUR customer service department attempted to do. Thanks.10/13/2018 Pavlus Verified Traveler

The rebate is great and the wine, flowers, and fruit were appreciated and a nice touch.

However, my request was handled expeditiously, even though Lauren was not available.08/04/2018 Pavlus Verified Traveler

Lauren did her usual outstanding job. She is always very helpful, responsive and creative as well. The customer service staff at Pavlus does an outstanding job also. I think I have successfully referred another client to Lauren who was on our last cruise. Keep up the good work! Walt Rosemund07/13/2018 Pavlus Verified Traveler
Our motivation with going with Pavlus was your offer of a rebate check, which our local travel agent, who is a personal friend, does not offer through his company (Vacation Connection). However, we have also been happy with Lauren's follow-through and Paul's help in any airline issues we've had. We will continue with Pavlus and continue to refer you as long as your level of service holds up as it has so far.07/11/2018 Pavlus Verified Traveler

Pavlus stands 100 percent behind what they sell from planning trip through travel insurance.

We've not used travel agents prior to finding Pavlus and are more than pleased. We've referred quite a few friends, too bad we're running out of travel buddies, and they too have been very pleased. We always tell friends to give Pavlus a call and see what they can do, no obligation, no commitment. Every referral has been pleased with no complaints. We enjoy working with Lauren so much, not only is she helpful, attentive and informed, she's made travel easier and always responds promptly. Thanks Lauren!01/23/2017 Pavlus Verified Traveler
When using Pavlus, we get outstanding service and the best discounts in the industry.12/24/2016 Pavlus Verified Traveler
Planning and paying for the trip was very easy. Lauren answered all of our concerns and questions expediently. There were no unpleasant surprises, several very nice surprises. The trip was awesome and we are already contemplating our next trip. Thanks for a wonderful experience.11/11/2016 Pavlus Verified Traveler
Love the extra discount.10/07/2016 Pavlus Verified Traveler
Lauren was great, very attentive and personable. We feel that we got the best package for the price.10/07/2016 Pavlus Verified Traveler
This was our second trip that Pavlus arranged for us with Globus Tours and we will use Pavlus again next time we travel. The only thing we wish could have been arranged was the seating on our flight back from Heathrow to Atlanta. We weren't assigned seats until we got to the airport at Heathrow and as far ahead as we booked, it seems like the airline would have accommodated. We did have our Delta seats already assigned for the flight from Atlanta to Houston. All in all, though, it was a great trip we will always remember. Thanks, Sharon Sole09/23/2016 Pavlus Verified Traveler
We have been using Pavlus for over 10 years. The service is great and they have the best prices. We have been very happy with Lauren. She always responds to our emails with 24 hours. Thanks for the great service.09/08/2016 Pavlus Verified Traveler

We have been extremely pleased with Pavlus travel agency. All staff members that I have been in contact with for advice and recommendations have been helpful, courteous, knowledgeable, and friendly. Lauren Mangione, our primary agent, has been stellar in making arrangements for our 2 trips. We have saved money, felt confident that her arrangements are in our best interest, and been thoroughly happy with both trips. On our recent trip to Alaska, we went through Pavlus to reserve our dogsled adventure in Juneau. Unfortunately, the trip was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. We contacted Shore Excursions while on the trip about the cancellation. They had already put the full refund check in the mail, and it was waiting for us when we returned, Now, that's good business. I have already referred a friend to Pavlus, and she and her family are currently in France. I have also given other friends Pavlus Travel information and recommend your agency highly. Thanks for making our trips memorable. Sincerely, Judy & Steve Spector08/02/2016 Pavlus Verified Traveler
Pavlus Travel takes pride and pleasure in helping to plan travel experiences for their clients. They do a great job booking both the tour and the air flights. Any questions can be easily answered by any one of their professional agents.

Great attention to detail and needs. Lauren [our travel agent] was there ready to tackle any questions and gave us great advice and assistance to fit our budget requirements. Although we had to miss out on the Istanbul destination, this was a honeymoon of a lifetime. The ship Lauren recommended to us Royal Princess was so concerned with the guests and staff safety that they made the executive decision to relocate us from Istanbul to Rhodes. That's true family!07/14/2016 Pavlus Verified Traveler
Lauren kept us updated on everything and promptly responded to our inquiries. When I had a problem with the company we were traveling with, Lauren went to bat for me and resolved the issue.06/23/2016 Pavlus Verified Traveler
Friendly service. Gives discounts and friend referral payments. Lauren was prompt in answering our inquiries, either by phone or emails.06/22/2016 Pavlus Verified Traveler

Lauren was good about helping us when we didn't get main seating for dinner, and gave us shipboard credit to have some dinners in specialty restaurants.06/16/2016 Pavlus Verified Traveler
Your service has been excellent! Lauren does a fantastic job. I recommended one client to her and they were completely satisfied. All the folks who work with her such as Leann are great too!

Lauren is phenomenal and comes through for us every time we call her. We have handed out her cards both to friends and fellow travelers.

It was a fabulous trip. Mounier was an execellent guide and he was very informative of the culture and the history of the Seven Emirates.02/23/2015 Pavlus Verified Traveler
Pavlus Travel [Lauren and Debra, in my case] promptly provided information and/or contacted Caravan Tours to ask specific last minute questions that came up. In addition to excellent service, one saves money via discounts by working through Pavlus. Caravan\'s tour of Costa Rica was excellent and is an excellent value, as you know. My wife and I had done this trip in \'09, the Panama tour in \'11, but as the CR trip is so exceptional, we took our adult children and 5 grandchildren, ages 5-11, on this as an educational, memory-making trip. We all loved it, and while it\'s likely unusual to have young children on such a tour, the other adults on the tour enjoyed the children [who were well-behaved]. Several couples said it prompted them to consider taking children/grandchildren on a future tour.02/18/2015 Pavlus Verified Traveler
Lauren is very good. The OBC or rebate is good.01/20/2015 Pavlus Verified Traveler

So this week The Cuttlebug Spot are having another awesome challenge. This week challenge is embossing on a mini album. I decided to do a little Gingerbread House with some of my Mom's favorite Christmas Cookies Recipes. This was a lot of work but also many good memories came flooding back of when my mother was alive and we would make these cookies togeher. I am, going to pass this book on to my daughter in law because she loves to bake, and I know my son loves Nan's Sandie Cookies.

Tutorial: How To Make A Lined Bodice
The first step is to print and cut out your pattern in the size you intend to sew. Lay your pattern down on the fabric you will be using for the outside of the bodice. With a marking pen or pencil, add seam allowance. In my example I am using 1/4 an inch. You do not need to add seam allowance to the sides of the bodice.
|Mark your seam allowance around the pattern pieces.
|Draw the added seam allowance around the pattern pieces.
Once you have drawn your seam allowance, cut your pattern pieces along the new line. Take your cut pieces from the outer fabric and lay them on the inside fabric and trace and cut around them.
* In the picture below, the fabric already had a seam sewn in it on the right side. I was repurposing it from another project that did not go so well. I moved the bodice over to avoid the seam. At this point however, you are tracing the bodice that you added the seam allowance to, so you do not need to add any more when cutting your second set of bodice pieces.
|Use the newly cut outside pieces to trace and cut the inside fabric.
TIP: to line up the shoulder seams, pin right on the seams of the outer and inner pieces to line them up and keep together while sewing.
This is also the time to add your sewing label or size tag. If you are using a flat, sew on label, the inside fabric along the back of the neckline is a common place to add a tag. Most people choose to use a tight zig-zag stitch to keep the edges from being scratchy. In this example, I added a foldover satin label placed between the two layers along the neckline. If using a foldover label, make sure the printed side is facing the outside fabric piece.
|Sew the inner and outer pieces, right sides together along the neckline and arm openings. Make sure you use the same amount of seam allowance that you added to the pattern.
After sewing the inside and outside pieces at the neckline and arm openings, clip the curves carefully to avoid nicking the seam. Pinking shears are great for this purpose. Press the seams flat with an iron.
|Clip along the curves of the seams careful not to cut the thread.
Turn the bodice right side out and again press with an iron. Then topstitch along the neckline and arm openings.
|Once the bodice is turned right side out, press with an iron and topstitch.
|Topstitch then sew the side pieces, right sides together.
Completed dress with a lined bodice.
Thank you for reading. I hope this tutorial was helpful. There will be more tutorials on embellishing a dress pattern in the near future so stay tuned! In the meantime, check out Elysium on Etsy for more great patterns.

Thanks for the tutorial! I was just thinking of doing this. One thing - the pictures show adding 1/4" to the side seams as well, but isn't there already a seam allowance there? I would think that would make the bodice wider?

Laura, you are correct. You do not need to add seam allowance to the sides of the bodice.

Thanks for that info. I've made a few of these dresses for DAG. charity, and now keen to try lining the bodice as i feel it will make the dress sturdier.

The assignment is to create a World Wide Web portal to provide information resources relating to a particular user situation.
Numerous studies have shown that information needs are situational. A user finds herself in a situation where one or more information resources are necessary in order to ameliorate that situation. These resources may not be related topically. For example, a student who is required to produce a geography paper will require resources such as the CIA world factbook for information about population, languages, and education levels. She will need the URLs of the governmental Web sites for that geographical entity. She will also need access to one or more encyclopedias, a good online dictionary, and information on how to write a term paper and how to handle citations.
For this assignment you will need to choose a user situation. For a student intending to become a school library media specialist you might choose the situation of an elementary, intermediate, or high school student required to do a class project. For a student intending to work in a public library you might choose the situation of a person serving as caregiver to an elderly parent or an immigrant seeking to become a U.S. citizen. For a student intending to be an academic librarian you might choose the situation of a lower- or upper-division student required to do a paper on a particular topic. Whatever situation you choose, your Web portal should have links to a variety of resources that would help a person in that situation.
This is your chance to be creative. You can create a simple but elegant page or you can go all out and create an elaborate page with lots of images, text, and links to other sites. The more you do the more you will learn.
Since the assignment is meant to familiarize you with HTML do not use Web-authoring software such as Dreamweaver. You can use any word processor capable of producing ascii (text) files if you'd like to work offline and then upload your files. You can use Pico (a text file editor available on UHUNIX) if you'd like to create your page online. The PCs in the LIS area provide Internet connections, as do the computers in CLIC (Sinclair Library) and the POST Building computer labs. Please place your Web page in your UHUNIX personal account. Every student is entitled to such an account, available free of charge. See the technology requirements in the course syllabus for information on obtaining your account.
The minimum requirements for the portal are simple. You must include at
least the following:
The assignment will be done in two phases. In the first phase you create a frame for your web portal. You create at least three pages with the following:
As soon as you have got your portal frame coded, uploaded, and opened to the public for viewing, send me an e-mail (at firstname.lastname@example.com) with the full URL.
If you get really stuck during the process of creating your portal frame, send me your URL (or your code in an e-mail message) and I will help you troubleshoot your documents.
In the final phase your web portal should be complete and ready for public viewing.
Please keep in mind that in graduate school meeting only the minimum requirements of an assignment is not considered A-level work. Concentrate on ameliorating the situational information needs of your potential viewer.
As soon as you have your web portal up and running, send me the URL and I will put a link to it on the LIS 670 Web page so other students can visit it and perhaps provide links to your site.
Your Web page must conform to the University of Hawai'i policy regarding student conduct, privacy, ethics, and sexual harassment in using and managing information technology. This policy, entitled "Use and Management of Information Technology Resources" is available on the Web at http://www.hawaii.edu/infotech/policies/itpolicy.html.
Web pages must also conform to Hawai'i and U.S. laws. If you intend to use graphics, be sure to use only those graphics you create yourself or have explicit permission to use. I've created a few images (shown below) that you can use in your web page if you like.
You can find links to additional resources for coding your website on the online$
You can also find a variety of beginning html tutorials by going to the Yahoo! Web directory (http://dir.yahoo.com). Select Computers & Internet. Then select World Wide Web. Then select HTML. Then select Guides and Tutorials.
One of the best ways to learn about Web construction is to see how others have done it. When you see a Web site you feel is well-constructed, note how they organize and present the information at their site. You can see the HTML tags they used by selecting View Source from your browser menu. (Hint: If you view the source code for this document
Personal Home Pages on uhunix
(at UIUC) Beginner's Guide to HTML
This document gives definitions of basic terms, describes the main elements of a web page, and gives information about basic HTML tags and how to use them. It is a very useful document for beginners.
Flaming Text
http://www.flamingtext.com This is a site where you can create headers, buttons, and so forth with different special effects such as:
Web Reference Guide
This gives listings of HTML codes, including those used to produce basic characters: A-Z, spaces, accented Latin letters, ligatures, etc. For example, if I want to display an À on my web site I can go to this website to find the particular code I need to get that character to appear. Also included is information about whether or not a particular browser will be able to read and correctly display a particular code.
Here are some images you may use in your page if you like.
This should be a fun assignment. Remember, your Web portal will be visible to the world (including your future employers). You can send the URL (the Web address) to your friends and brag to your coworkers about your creation.
Be creative!
1a) Apply LIS theory and principles to diverse information contexts
1c) Develop and apply critical thinking skills in preparation for professional practice
3a) Demonstrate understanding of the processes by which information is created, evaluated, and disseminated.
3b) Organize, create, archive, and manage collections of information resources following professional standards
3c) Search, retrieve and synthesize information from a variety of systems and sources
4b) Integrate emerging technologies into professional practice
