As a consumer reporting agency governed by the U.S. federal Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"), among other applicable laws,
AccuSource endeavors to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and security of personal information that AccuSource acquires. AccuSource complies with the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Framework and the U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from European Union member countries and Switzerland. AccuSource has certified that it adheres to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access, and enforcement. To learn more about the Safe Harbor program, and to view AccuSource's certification, please visit http://export.gov/safeharbor.
1. Notice
AccuSource receives personal information about consumers from its clients. AccuSource's clients certify to AccuSource that (i) to the extent required by applicable law; they have obtained the consumer's consent to share this information with AccuSource for purposes of conducting a background screen on the consumer, (ii) they are requesting a background screen for employment or other purposes permitted under the FCRA or other applicable law, and (iii) they will use the results of AccuSource's background screening only for legally permissible purposes, such as hiring, promoting and discharging decisions.
AccuSource conducts background screens only in compliance with the FCRA or other applicable law. Through its background screenings, AccuSource obtains information about consumers, and provides it to its clients, as requested by AccuSource's clients and consistent with the consumer's authorization, The information that is collected about the consumer may include, but may not be limited to, history of arrests and/or convictions, credit history, employment history, educational history, places of residence, and driving records. Pursuant to the terms of its contracts with its client, AccuSource uses this information to prepare a report that meets its clients' requirements.

2. Choice
AccuSource collects information about consumers only if AccuSource's client has, to the extent required by applicable law, certified to AccuSource that the consumer has affirmatively authorized such collection. Consumers who do not want AccuSource to collect information about them can choose to prevent collection by refusing to sign the notice and authorization form presented by their prospective or current employer in accordance with the FCRA or, if required, by other applicable law. Consumers who wish to revoke their consent to AccuSource's collection of information about them can do so at any time by sending notification to AccuSource (888) 649-6272 (inside the US and Canada) or (951) 734-8882 or to the contact information for AccuSource listed on the notice and authorization form signed by the consumer.
The revocation does not mean that information already collected will be erased or deleted. Various laws and compliance obligations require that AccuSource maintain the data on file for a period of time. However, the consumer's data will not be further disclosed after AccuSource receives a revocation. After revocation of consent, AccuSource will not use the information for any purpose other than maintaining an internal record of having performed the background check as of such date for compliance reasons.

AccuSource takes reasonable steps to protect personal information disclosed to its representatives and subcontractors.

Resisting the Guam Military Build-Up
LisaLinda Natividad is a Chamorro rights advocate and one of the main organizers of the local opposition to the Guam build-up, the imminent transfer of 8,000 Marines and their families from bases in Okinawa to Guam, an under-resourced and environmentally exploited de facto colony of the U.S. military that already controls one-third of Guam's land mass.
Natividad teaches at the University of Guam, where many of her colleagues in the social work department are also active in the struggle for Chamorro self-determination. "This whole build-up is an issue of justice," Natividad says, "social justice, which is one of our core values in the social work profession." Pushed into peace work by the signing of this accord, Natividad has since become known as a consistent questioner of the environmental and human cost of the proposed build-up. This past summer, Natividad spoke on the matter in Australia, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and at the U.S. Social Forum in Detroit.
KERSHNER: Explain Chamorro-U.S. relations?
NATIVIDAD: Our political status is what's called an "unincorporated territory" of the United States, which essentially means we have no status, we are a U.S. colony. That means that we don't have many of the basic rights as a people for self-government. One of the most tangible things that people can relate to is that we don't have the right to vote for a president. We have a Congressional representative but her vote is very limited. At the accords being signed between the U.S. and Japan, our government wasn't even consulted about this transfer of Marines from Okinawa to Guam.
Recently, U.S. Congressperson Hank Johnson made remarks about Guam capsizing. To what extent does this demonstrate U.S. lack of concern for the Chamorro people?
I think it's a very flagrant example of the ignorance of the rest of the country about the issues. I often refer to Guahan, which is our traditional name, as America's best-kept secret. Most people don't realize that old-school colonization still exists. So we hear references to Guam on different TV sitcoms, those sorts of things. Typically, Guam is known for its snake population, not its human population. Often, national, particularly federal, entities refer to Guam as a sort of outpost of U.S. militarism. It's almost like that's what we're known for, so the native population is overlooked—although overlooked is a very mild description of how we're treated.
Why does Guam matter to the U.S.?
We're prime real estate. Congressperson Ike Skelton [D-MO] was here at the university to deliver a lecture and he basically described how the Asia-Pacific region—because of the population boom that's anticipated and claims that China's rising to power—will be the focus of U.S. military activity in the next decade at least. So, when you consider that the U.S. landholdings in the Pacific being primarily Hawaii and Guam, clearly our political status as an unincorporated territory gives them what's often referred to as "maximum flexibility," which means we're a colony and they can do whatever they want.
When you talk about issues of Chamorro self-determination and exercising the right to get off the list of being a non-self governing territory of the world, that just doesn't come into the conversation. It's like, "let's just pretend that's not there," because they have other things in mind for us.
A few years ago, Guam ranked as the number one most successful area for Army National Guard recruiters. What are the effects of this militarism?

It's very disheartening. In our high schools—Guam doesn't have very many of them—three of them have JROTC programs. We top the charts in terms of joining the military and that's largely indicative of two things. One, the sort of blind patriotism that a number of people have because of the whole touting of the U.S. "liberating" us from the Japanese occupation in World War II. So there's this sentiment of allegiance to the U.S. But the other part of it is that you've got a very high poverty rate on Guam. Nearly 50 percent of the population is eligible for food stamps. In most communities the people that join the military are not going to be your affluent people. Here you join the military and then at least you're gainfully employed—it's almost as though you're the elite here.
Also, we're desensitized to militarism in our community. If you were to drive around Guam, you would be amazed at how much of our physical environment is impacted by the military footprint. In addition you see military memorials and "support our troops" ribbons everywhere.
Are there elements of the peace and anti-base movement that are opposing militarized education in Guam?
The Guahan Coalition for Peace and Justice chaired the International Network of Women Against Militarism conference here in September. What we were able to do at that time was convene a Micronesian regional grouping of women to discuss counter-recruitment. We're currently securing funding to be able to continue to convene this group of women.
This summer a practicum student was placed with the Coalition. Her job was to take national counter-recruitment materials from the American Friends Service Committee, as well as information we've received from military recruiters, and use that to develop materials for our people.
Given that so many people on Guam are dependent on military base jobs for their livelihoods, it must be difficult to organize a strong opposition movement.
Economics and colonization go hand in hand. If you were to ask me what direction we, as a people, need to take, clearly it's to develop alternative economies. But how do we go about doing that when we have the limitations of U.S. federal territorial policies, for example? Also, when you're in an impoverished place, it's hard to develop a new economy when you don't have the resources to do it. It's not an answer that's going to be realized within the next five to ten years. What we require at this point is a generational shift in identity, in nationhood, in terms of understanding the complexities of militarism and how we're contributing to war across the world. There just isn't that consciousness now.
I've started to introduce these concepts in my public lectures and when I start to talk about the contrast between Chamorro values and military values, I'm like the devil. It's very hard for people to hear that. But I keep pushing that envelope because it's so important. That's how we learn to re-frame the way we so blindly embrace U.S. militarism. What I've begun to do is to look at the issue in terms of long-term gains, long-term goals. How do we shift our whole understanding? How do we help our people become aware of the fact that we are colonial subjects? It's going to require lots of work. I think our biggest task in organizing at this point is in educating our community to develop a deeper consciousness.

UP Real Estate Market Looking back at the fifteen years I've been involved in U.P. real estate, it has been quite a run. This has been a seller's market, a market in which good property has sold at constantly increasing prices. The local MAI's (the best appraisers) tell me waterfront real estate prices across the market have been averaging about 15% a year, compound. Depending on when you start counting I'd say it has been a buyer's market for seven to ten years. The last few including 2006 have been extremely strong years for us, and we are holding our breath to see if this run will slow down...or speed up. It is unclear right now what the future holds. When no one knows what markets will do there are always opportunities. My opinion is that the increase in prices here is sustainable and will continue. The Fed decided that there are real estate markets around the country that need to be cooled off. Stories from Florida, California, and a dozen other places around the country tell of markets where quality real estate prices have been doubling and redoubling. In some markets 50% of the market has been speculation with investors buying houses, not even occupying them, holding them for a few years, and selling them at a multiple of the purchase price. Cooling off those markets has got to be a good idea. The U.P. has not seen that kind of speculation. Prices have risen steadily, but from an extremely low base. It could be argued that the market will now pause for a while as the Fed talks down the speculation, but it can also be argued that we are still under-priced compared to everywhere else. With the stock market up one day and down the next, investors have been looking for other places to put their money. Since 9/11 vast amounts of money have been pumped into the economy. I was an economics minor, and unless they have changed the rules of economics massive increases in the money supply will inevitably lead to inflation sooner or later. Real estate is the traditional hedge against inflation. My conclusion, after a very busy year, is that this will continue to be an excellent time and place to own larger properties of the best quality. The nice thing about owning that kind of real estate is that there is always someone who wants the best, and they can usually afford it in good times or bad. There will be opportunities - perhaps historic ones -- for both buyers and sellers. Interest rates remain at historically low levels, and it remains attractive to buy real estate and hold it with a fixed mortgage. There has been a sea change in the U.P. timberland market. The big timber companies have been divesting themselves of their timberland and this may shake loose some properties that have been held by big companies for a long time, perhaps just in time to meet a surge in demand for quality waterfront which has been increasingly hard to find. I expect timberland prices to fall as the supply increases. Unfortunately too many of these parcels are cut hard before they are put up for sale. It will be a long time before they recover. I periodically find myself thinking, "All the best waterfront is gone." Then I remember that it is actually all still there! What may have changed is the price, and although the $100/acre prices of the 1990's are history, we are nowhere near the ethereal $15,000/front foot prices common for waterfront on the Lower Peninsula's west coast. There is strong interest in rural land on prime waterfront not because urban dwellers fear terrorism, but because in the wake of 9/11 people appear to be rethinking their priorities and refocusing on the family. A retreat in the Upper Peninsula where the family can be together for quality time and recreation without urban distractions has become even more attractive. There have been and for the foreseeable future will be more buyers than sellers for high quality water frontage. Here is the good news: Even after those years of rising prices, money still buys much more water frontage in the U.P. You can find land equal in quality to anything in Michigan below the bridge or in Wisconsin. Historically the reward for taking the time to travel to this less developed, more rural, relatively undiscovered area is that you get about four to five times as much waterfront land for the same price. (Not to mention some great brook trout dry fly-fishing!) Today, looking at prices to the south, you can get ten times as much. So, what should you expect to pay this year in the U.P.? Many features of land need to be considered: Good usable access, legal access, (two very different things), plowed roads, well water, septic disposal, the size of the parcel and availability of power are just some features that affect price. As they say, "All generalizations are wrong including this one," but here goes: Quick and dirty expect quality inland lake frontage to run $600 to $800 per front foot. Sand frontage on Lake Superior is $1,000 - $2,000/ff (the higher prices close to Marquette), and hard to find at that; rock frontage, which can be very beautiful and has some interesting benefits, is generally $600 - $1,500/ff, although I have seen parcels that I think are absolutely as valuable as sand frontage and perhaps are more appropriate for frontage on Lake Superior. Lake Superior water levels are within two inches of the long time low, 19 inches "below chart." In years when water levels are nearer the high water mark the advantage of owning rock shoreline that does not erode like sand beaches does becomes more obvious. Land prices depend on what it looks like and what's there, but $1,000/acre seems to still be a good generalization. Waterfront drives the price, so if it has waterfront forget about comparisons on a per acre basis and look at front foot prices. There is every indication that the scarcity of good water frontage will continue to intensify. A Barron's article in July of '95, "Eden for Sale," truly prophesied the future when it forecast a surge in demand based on the demographics of the baby boom (and made me a Barron's reader.) The short run is difficult to predict, but I do believe that over the next ten years quality waterfront land prices will soar. You are not too late for waterfront to be a great investment, and you can use and enjoy it. In a major study a third of the respondents in the Midwest said they hoped to buy a second home in the U.P. If baby boomers follow their parents' example many will continue to buy waterfront real estate. They will sell their primary residence when they retire and will begin spending six to ten months out of each year on Lake Superior or an inland lake. In my experience people spend more time at their UP "camp" or cottage than they expected to when they bought the property, and global warming and the changing seasons have only accentuated that trend. Demographics say the peak time for purchases of waterfront land by the baby boomers will occur in the next few years. The best investment for most Americans in the 1970s and 1980s was something they never bought as an investment. It was their single family home. Homeowners from that time retired on their equities. If this continues to happen with second homes (and therefore second home vacant land), as the demographics say it will, any lull in the market for vacation waterfront land will be a buying opportunity. Again, mortgage rates are at attractive levels, and banks in the U.P. will finance vacant land. I believe the scarcest commodity is privacy. Larger parcels of quality waterfront property offering real privacy are scarce and growing scarcer as land is divided into ever-smaller parcels. The U.P. is one of the few areas left in the United States with good choices. Where else can you buy a whole private lake for less than a king's ransom, or for a tenth of the cost (!) of a Naples condo in a concrete high rise flanked by more of the same? I have spent the last ten years doing database searches to identify the best of the remaining undeveloped quality waterfront property in the U.P. There are still choice properties available, but don't wait much longer. Now is the time to act. Marquette County, for example, has 1,800 lakes (counting some very small ones) with 30,000 acres of surface water. That sounds like finding a good one should be easy. But if you eliminate from consideration lakes that are already subdivided into small lots, or are swampy, or too shallow to hold fish, or smaller than a few acres, or have no legal access, and if you ignore State, Federal or County ownership, and lakes owned by the big mining companies over known mineral reserves, ... you will find that there are less than 200 lakes in Marquette County in which you have any interest at all. I have now searched all but the extreme western and extreme eastern portions of the U.P. in this fashion. The result is a list of the owners of 350 lake parcels with good size on quality lakes. When I can find you one of those it represents more than a "good buy." It can offer privacy for you now, and a legacy for your children! previous page // www.upwaterfront.com // contact us Disclaimer |

75American Animal is a wildly experimental debut for D'Elia, who uses hand-held digital cameras and lots of jump cuts. It is well-acted and features witty repartee.
May 14, 201275It may be baked with the same ingredients that come in your standard mumblecore starter kit, but because of Matt D'Elia's indebtedness to other movies, the film follows a different recipe altogether.
60At first American Animal has a mysterious unreality to it, a strange diorama about easy leisure's emptiness. But when James admits he's taken a job - upending the roomies' slacker utopia - American Animal becomes a philosophically strident evening of speechifying local theater (topic: human evolution).
33Seen as some kind of absurdist, meta-textual horror story, American Animal almost works. In every other way? It's fuckin' poopy-loopy.

HAVA NASHIRA® The annual songleading and music workshop of OSRUI & the URJ May 29-June 2, 2013 Wednesday, May 29, 4:00 pm - Sunday, June 2, 2013, 11:00 am URJ and Ramah Camp Songleaders begin Tuesday, May 28, 2013, at 3:00 pm If you are considering Hava Nashira, please also check out our fall music program, Shabbat Shira®!
Wednesday, May 29, 4:00 pm - Sunday, June 2, 2013, 11:00 am URJ and Ramah Camp Songleaders begin Tuesday, May 28, 2013, at 3:00 pm If you are considering Hava Nashira, please also check out our fall music program, Shabbat Shira®!
If you teach or lead music in camps, congregations, or community centers, Hava Nashira® is for you. Created by Debbie Friedmanz"l and Cantor Jeff Klepper among others, Hava Nashira provides you with the opportunity to improve your skills as you learn from the finest Jewish music innovators and composers, who will include Cantor Jeff Klepper, Ellen Allard, Merri Lovinger Arian, Cantor Rosalie Boxt, Rabbi Ken Chasen, Cantor Ellen Dreskin, Alan Goodis, Billy Jonas, Shira Kline, Josh Nelson, Dan Nichols and Joey Weisenberg. Instrumental proficiency is preferred but not necessary. The program is open to adults, college age and older. Read about this year's Hava Nashira faculty.
What's Hava Nashira® like? Download a schedule from Hava Nashira 2012 . You will receive the 2013 schedule upon arrival. The 2012 schedule should give you a good idea of how the program is structured.
Intensives and Electives -- New this year! The way our courses are offered is different this year than in years past. You will have the choice of taking two intensives (2 1/4 hour in-depth learning sessions) and two electives (1 hour shorter learning sessions) OR only one intensive and four electives. During the second intensive block some participants can choose their second intensive, and others could choose to take two electives instead. We hope that this will allow more diversity in offerings from which to choose, as some participants need to focus on a few things in depth and others would benefit from a more diverse course selection that gives them repertoire or skills in a wider reach of areas, but with less in-depth study. Note you will be required to indicate your choice of intensives and electives when you register. If you change your mind, you can request a change in your intensive and elective registration in April and we will accommodate you if possible.
2013 Intensives
The fee for Hava Nashira® includes lodging, meals and all programming and materials. Semi-private housing is available in the Bayit, Lodge and Daniel M. Soref Education and Alumni Center (rooms with 2 twin beds and private or shared bath); and in the Nerenberg Family Center (rooms with 2 twin beds with communal washrooms at the end of the hall). Lodging is also available in dormitory cabins (separate for men and women), featuring bunk beds for 24 participants in each cabin, with adjacent washrooms and showers. Read more about the various categories of housing .
The fees for 2013 will be the same as in 2012, $700 for semi-private housing in the Bayit, Lodge, and Daniel M. Soref Education and Alumni Center; $600 in the Nerenberg Family Center; and $500 for dormitory housing or for those staying off-site. No private rooms are available.

Food Safety, Traceability and Origin Labeling
Mango Food Safety Conference
The NMB hosted a Mango Food Safety Conference on March 6, 2013, at the McAllen Convention Center in McAllen, TX. This conference focused on providing attendees with information about food safety guidelines and standards, areas of opportunity for the mango industry, a broader view of the field, and how food safety issues affect the food supply chain.
Click here for more information.
More About Food Safety
The landscape is changing for producers and suppliers of fruits and vegetables. Food safety has become a major issue and many different commodities have been impacted by food safety crises. When products are recalled, and especially when consumers get sick from eating fresh produce, the entire industry feels the pain.
It's not yet known exactly how the new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) will be implemented and how it will impact growers and suppliers who provide mangos to U.S. consumers. However, the U.S. Department of Food and Drugs (FDA) have made key information concerning the FSMA available in several languages for easy access by manufacturers, retailers, consumers, and regulators in the international community. The documents located on their website are available in English, Spanish Portuguese, French and several other foreign languages. FDA offers these translations as a service to a broad international audience. The NMB hopes you find these translations useful.
The Produce Marketing Association (PMA) has also pulled together a solid set of resources regarding FSMA. PMA also held two free webinars with Dr. Bob Whitaker, Chief Science & Technology Officer of PMA, to help you understand the provisions of FDA's recently released proposed produce safety and preventive controls rules. If you missed it or you participated in the sessions and want a copy of Dr. Whitaker's presentation, it is available on their website. PMA hosted two additional free webinars with FDA about FSMA and Preventive Controls. PMA has also published summaries of each of these proposals, available in their FSMA resource center. Please click here for more information.
United Fresh is another great resource to get informed about FSMA as they provided details during two webinars. The first webinar featured speakers, Dr. James Gorny, Senior Advisor, Office of Food Safety, FDA CFSAN and David Durkin, Legal Counsel, OFW Law. The second webinar featured speakers Dr. Samir Assar, Director, Produce Safety Staff, FDA CFSAN, Dr. James Gorny, Senior Advisor, Office of Food Safety, FDA CFSAN and Dr. David Gombas, Senior Vice President, Food Safety and Technology, United Fresh. Join expert presenters to learn more on the content of the proposed rule, what implications may exist, and how this proposed rule impacts you and your company. Please click here for more information.
Meanwhile, the USDA's final rule for mandatory country of origin labeling (COOL) went into effect in March 2009. This rule requires retailers to notify their customers of the country of origin of covered commodities (including fresh produce), meaning retailers will require their suppliers to support this communication effort through accurate labeling.
In the face of this uncertain landscape, the National Mango Board has collected a wealth of links to online resources related to food safety, traceability and country of origin labeling. These links can lead you down the path to compliance with the rules and laws of the land. Also available is a previously recorded webinar hosted by the NMB with keynote speaker Dr. Whitaker.

Additionally, the National Mango Board has created a comprehensive Issues and Crisis Response Guide that outlines the process we will follow in response to a developing crisis or issue. The plan is intended to help the mango industry respond to a crisis in the most efficient and effective manner in order to protect consumer health. The plan includes industry resources as well as credible third-party information to aid the mango industry in its response. You can download a copy of the 2013 Issues and Crisis Response Guide. Please be patient as the document is large and may take several minutes to open, depending on your connection speed.

The SU Football team picked up a couple huge verbal commitments over the weekend from a pair of New York State prospects. The one getting the most attention is Rochester Quarterback Ashton Broyld who led Rush-Henrietta to the Class AA State Championship.
Broyld stands 6'4" and checks in at 225 lbs but has running back speed and a good arm to boot (click the video player to see that. He had offers from Rutgers, Louisville, and Akron among others, but in the end chose the Orange for a number of reasons.
"You know it's a great opportunity for me and my family, you know, we just thank God that I have I'm able to have a scholarship offer from Syracuse and hopefully I'l end up the right place, position. Hopefully everything works out for me." Broyld told me on Saturday.
Broyld has been offered the opportunity to play quarterback, but insists that doesn't matter he just wants to help out the team. "It kinda helps my pride a little bit (the opportunity to play quarterback" but if it doesn't work I'll find a position because I just want to play football" he said.
In the end though, a chance to play for the de-facto home college team in Rochester was just too good of an opportunity to pass up. It's a rebuilding program, and I want to be a part of a program that is building towards somethng, not a team that is already there and has everything and Syracuse offers a great education".
Broyld will take on "official visit" to SU on January 14th, and joins Terrel Hunt as quarterbacks in the fold for the 2011 SU Football recruiting class.
SU also received help at linebacker when Junior-College All-American Siriki Diabate pledged his services to the Orange. Here's Ryan Murray's story.
What do you think of the commitment, does Broyld see the field next year?

"Great Hotel for the Price"
We decided on this hotel for price and locality and we were not disappointed on either. The hotel was a 5 to 10 minute walk from the metro which takes you into DC within 10 minutes. The hotel is situated in a mostly office surrounding which meant we felt safe coming back on the metro at night. However there are quite a few convenience stores and shopping malls very close to the hotel. Although the hotel does not have a restaurant there is an Indian right next door to it. The meal was excellent and very reasonably priced. The room was a great size, 2 large double beds, plenty of storage space, internet access if you wish. The hotel is fairly quiet during the week mostly used by business men and women, much busier at the weekends with younger groups. The hotel offers a complementary contential breakfast which consists of cereal, toast, waffles, fresh fruit and juice etc. The dining room is clean and bright. The front desk staff are very friendly and welcoming. There is also complementary coffee and newspapers available. There is a small shop at the main entrance with sells postcards and such like.
"Good hotel to use as base for sightseeing."
The staff were professional, helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean and tidy giving no cause for complaint. Breakfast was quite sufficient. The hotel is situated in a fairly quiet area and within walking distance of the underground.

Duluth Trading Opens Second Location in Wisconsin
The long-awaited retailer is now open to the public, and plans to add the historic Smith Brother's fish sandwich back to the menu, as well as once again offer lemon meringue pie in October. Click through these pictures to see what the store looks like.
A specialty men and women's workwear retailer, based in Wisconsin, has opened the doors of its second location in the Milwaukee area.
"Milwaukee is a great market for us," company President Stephanie Pugliese said during a grand opening event of the Port Washington store on Thursday.
Steve Schlecht, CEO of Duluth Trading Co., said that the company considers its retail concept a "destination store," and Port's destination attributes really fit with the company.
"We are proud today to showcase what Duluth Trading is all about, and equally proud to (be a part of Port Washington)," Schlecht said. "We hope you'll see that we tried to bring the history of Port Washington alive in these two buildings (the retail story and the coffee shop)."
The company focuses on three main concepts for its customers, Pugliese said, including: ingenious solutions, durability and functionality.
The retailer specializes in selling "workwear" for men and women, meaning durability is important, Pugliese said. Functionality comes in with special features such as oversized zippers and buttons so that workers do not need to remove gloves to take off a jacket; or "tuckable" pockets to make it easier for workers who are reaching in and out for items often.
"(We try) to build comfort into everything we do," she said. The store also prides itself on its unique product names as well as its unique retail experience.
The company sells underwear and pants with "more room" for men, calling it the "crouch without the ouch," line. Other signs in the store read: "Squat without singing soprano," or, for women: "Heat it up with nearly naked" long underwear.
"There's a lot of choices out there — they should have an experience in the store that's different from anywhere else," Pugliese said, adding that the elements of Port Washington incorporated into the store help to fuel the company's "partnership" with the city.
As part of evolving this concept to fit Port Washington, Pugliese said the funny names have also made their way into the coffee shop. A plain old coffee is now called "Buck Naked Brew." Other latte names include "Tool Belt," "Lug Nut" or "Gardener's Delight."
"As we evolved the store, the coffee shop became an integral part of what we're doing here," Pugliese said. In October, the store will add the historic Smith Brother's fish sandwich back to the menu, as well as once again offer lemon meringue pie.
The store is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m., and again on Sundays from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. It is located at 108 N. Franklin St., Port Washington.
Are you excited about the new store? Tell us why in the comments.

We have shopped with this company on-line, at their warehouse in Belleville, WI., and their store in Mt. Horeb. Their outdoor clothing is fantastic and lasts forever. They also have a great warranty. Look them up and try some of their "firehosd" clothing! We will be visiting their Port Washington store when we ride the interurban bike trial.

Do you have a child going off to college this year? Moving out? Getting married?
Feelings of sadness and loss related to the shifting roles women experience when children leave home is often referred to as "Empty Nest Syndrome".
Would it help you to meet other women who are in the process of adjusting to similar changes in their family?
Not everyone experiences these changes the same.
Research suggests that those who experience the most long-term pain may have some of these things in common:
- They consider change stressful and to be avoided.
- Their marriage is rocky.
- They worry that their children aren't ready for adult responsibilities.
- They have a weaker sense of self-worth: identity is tied to being a parent.
- Their own experience of moving away from their parents was difficult.
- Other "letting go" times, such as sending children to school, were painful.
- They are full-time parents, with no other paid employment or self-employment.
Come learn methods to move forward in creating a healthy relationship with your adult children, while taking care of your own needs.
Call 408-912-1622 for a free evaluation to determine if this group is right for your needs.
