Our organic filter means that the main fabric or the raw material content of the main fabric of a Honest by garment is certified organic. The filter does not apply to the final product. Neither honest by, nor the production facilities Honest by works with, are certified organic at the moment.
Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products.
Our Vegan filter means that these Honest by products do not contain leather, wool, silk, horn, shell or any other substance produced from animals.
Our skin friendly filter means that the main fabric used to make the garment does not endanger the health of your skin. Skin friendly certificates are Oeko-tex, Ivn, Gots, Joca and Sacl.

Recycled fabrics and yarns are made of post consumer waste which is purchased in bulk. The waste is sorted by color and respun into yarn. Depending on the end product, it will be used for knitting or weaving fabrics. The biggest advantage of sorting by color is that the yarn does not have to be dyed, hence the production of recycled wool yarn saves on energy and water use.
The European filter means the garment was 100% manufactured in Europe.
Honest by strictly works with suppliers that have a GOTS certificate (view GOTS) or a 100% British Wool Certificate. The National Sheep Association in the UK which safeguards the interest of sheep and farmers within the UK has confirmed that sheep in the UK are not genetically modified; their genetic material has not been altered using genetic engineering techniques. For centuries, though, farmers have selected the best rams and ewes to bread in order to have a higher production quality. All farmers must comply to British and European legislation which has formulated laws regarding good husbandry, transport and animal welfare amongst other things. Dehorning and mulesing are not practiced in the UK. Tail docking happens everywhere in the UK. It is a recognized practice monitored by the government. Some farmers we have interviewed considered this a controversial practice, whilst others believe this practice benefits the welfare of the animals. In their opinion tail docking facilitates the treatment sheep undergo when infected with flystrike. Some sheep breeds, such as Shetland, have such short tails that tail docking is unnecessary. Hebrideans on the other hand are Northern Short Tail sheep, their tail is still quite long but native breeds are more resistant to fly strike if they stay in their natural environment; thus they often also do not get tail docked. Ear notching was an old tradition to recognize one sheep from one farm to another and is no longer practiced in the UK. Nowadays legal requirements force ear tags in both ears of a sheep.

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, including ecological and social criteria. The aim of the standard is to define world-wide recognized requirements that ensure organic status of textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labeling in order to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer. The EU organic regulation is the legal basis for the control of organic farming and food processing in Europe. The Global Organic Textile Standard has the EU organic regulation as its baseline: it starts where the European Legislation ends. This legislation contains (amongst other standards): standards for crop production, standards for livestock husbandry: e.g.. duration of transport of livestock shall be minimized; any suffering, including mutilation, shall be kept to a minimum during the entire life of the animal.
Organic is a 'whole system' approach to farming and food production. It recognizes the close interrelationships between all parts of the production system from the soil to the consumer. Agricultural principles are: To produce food of high quality in sufficient quantity. To work within natural systems and cycles throughout all levels from the soil to plants and animals. To maintain the long term fertility and biological activity of soils. To treat livestock ethically, meeting their physiological and behavioral needs. To respect regional, environmental, climatic and geographic differences and (appropriate) practices that have evolved in response to them.
Organic farming: Organic farming means livestock has to be managed with special care for their welfare and health, the animals' behavioral needs should be satisfied. It goes beyond merely avoiding cruelty. One should: aim to prevent disease and injury, increase the ability of stock to resist infection, parasitic attack and metabolic disorders, and increase their ability to overcome injury by rapid healing. Animals should enjoy the 'five freedoms' - freedom from: malnutrition, physical discomfort and extremes of temperature, injury and disease, fear and distress, unnecessary restrictions of behavior.
Environmental criteria: At all stages through the processing organic fibre products must be separated from conventional fiber products and must to be clearly identified. All chemical inputs (e.g. dyes, auxiliaries and process chemicals) must be evaluated and meeting basic requirements on toxicity and biodegradability/eliminability. Prohibition of critical inputs such as toxic heavy metals, formaldehyde, aromatic solvents, functional nano particles, genetically modified organisms (GMO) and their enzymes. The use of synthetic sizing agents is restricted; knitting and weaving oils must not contain heavy metals. Bleaches must be based on oxygen (no chlorine bleaching). Azo dyes that release carcinogenic amine compounds are prohibited. Discharge printing methods using aromatic solvents and plastisol printing methods using phthalates and PVC are prohibited. Restrictions for accessories (e.g. no PVC, nickel or chrome permitted, any polyester must be post-consumer recycled from 2014 onwards). All operators must have an environmental policy including target goals and procedures to minimize waste and discharges. Wet processing units must keep full records of the use of chemicals, energy, water consumption and waste water treatment, including the disposal of sludge. The waste water from all wet processing units must be treated in a functional waste water treatment plant. Packaging material must not contain PVC.

It uses since June 2011 the GOTS standard as the basis for certification for new applicants.
The Soil Association organic standards have the EU organic regulation as their baseline. In many cases the standards are more robust than those set by EU regulations - in fact, no system of farming has higher levels of animal welfare standards than organic farms working to the Soil Association standards.

The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 was introduced at the beginning of the 1990s as a response to the needs of the general public for textiles which posed no risk to health. Oeko-Tex is an independent, third party certifier that offers four certifications: Oeko-Tex 100 (for products), SteP (for production sites/factories), Made in Green (a combination of Oeko-Tex 100 and STeP) and Eco Passport (for chemicals, auxiliaries and dyestuffs used in textile production).
Oeko-Tex 100 labels aims to ensure that products pose no risk to health. They do not contain allergenic dye-stuffs and dye stuffs that form carcinogenic aryl-amines. They have been tested for pesticides and chlorinated phenols. They have been tested for the release of heavy metals under artificial perspiration conditions. Formaldehyde had been banned; other aldehyde limits are significantly lower than the required legal limits. They have a skin friendly pH, are free from chloro-organic carriers. They are free from biologically active finishes. The certification process includes thorough testing for a lengthy list of chemicals. Specifically banned are: AZO dyes, carcinogenic and allergy-inducing dyes, pesticides, chlorinated phenols, chloro-organic benzenes and toluenes, extractable heavy metals, phthalates in baby products, organotin compounds (TBT and DBT), emissions of volatile components.

Carbon footprint
Product code:BPS041F2010C099W
Product description: ORGANIC WOOL PENCIL WRAP SKIRT
Company: The analysis and calculation of the carbon footprint was made by Ecolife, a Belgian environmental organization that strives for a sustainable world through the promotion of responsible and ecological behavioral change.
Location Ecolife: Leuven, Belgium
Address Ecolife: Valkerijgang 26 – 3000 Leuven - Belgium
Since: Ecolife was created in 2002
The calculation is based on detailed transportation information collected from our suppliers, where available, for all fabrics and trimmings used in this garment.
For every step in the production process from raw material, fabric spinners and weavers to the finished product, we gather information about transportation. This takes into account the amount, weight and dimensions of all materials used, as well as total distance travelled and type of transportation used.
Ecolife base their calculations on the facts provided by different suppliers, agents and manufacturers. Due to confidentiality reasons, some of the textile manufacturers were sometimes unable to disclose full information, in this case estimates were used. The final CO2 result per item is therefore an estimate of the overall output the material transportation process created. To put things into perspective, you can see different comparisons below.
The impact of all materials combined for this item is 3,58 kg of CO2.
This is equivalent to:
- driving a car for 22,38 km
- using a classic light bulb for 137,69 hours
On average, one tree can absorb 3,268kg of CO2 a year. It will take one tree approximately 1 year and 37 days to absorb and neutralize the amount of CO2 created to transport all the components, such as fabric and trimmings, this item contains.
The calculation of the transportation from raw material to the spinner, the weaver, the supplier and finally to Honest by is considered a first step towards our goal. We plan to invest in Life Cycle Analysis in the future.

Opus Pocus
Opus Pocus on Piz Seràuta on the Marmolada is a hybrid route with a series of pitches which differ completely from one another. The first pitch for example is a classic mountain pitch on good rock which needs trad pro, worlds apart from the third pitch which is bolted otherwise unprotectable, with different difficulties altogether.
We felt this to be the correct choice and we attempted to respect the characteristics of the face as much as possible, using routes on Mont Blanc by Motto & Piola which are protected in this style as an example.
I believe the route is interesting thanks to the beauty of the rock and the individual pitches. It isn't particularly long like the rest of the routes on the Marmolada, but 200m is enough to have fun, perhaps a bit minimalist.
To climb the route successfully you need to be not only a strong climber, you also need to be skillful at placing natural pro. The route was first ascended from the ground up.
Take the motorway A22 Modena-Brennero and exit, after Bolzano, at Ora. Drive up the Val di Fiemme to Predazzo, then up the Val di Fassa to Canazei. Continue on up to Passo Fedaia and then descend to Malga Ciapela.
From Malga Ciapela 2 hours. Deatiled access to the Serauta can be found in the guidebook. The route takes a line on the obvious pillar to the left of the 1942 route Pisoni - Castiglioni.
Abseil down the route
Kevlar for the threads, 12 quickdraws including some long ones to reduce rope drag on the second pitch, mid-large camming devices plus one small one for the start on pitch 1.
In-situ gear: stainless steel bolts and abseil rings on the belays, some pegs.
Given the difficult access to this section of the Marmolada we recommend you go only in stable weather as a descent in the rain may prove dangerous. It may be worth waiting out storms in the cave at the base of the wall (take warm clothes).
The first ascentionists would iike to call the pillar they first climbed Pilastro Bruno.

The new livestock price insurance products available through the revamped Federal Crop Insurance program "open a new world" for producers.
They will offer livestock producers great flexibility and benefits than other products, says Peter W. Griffin, president of Applied Analytics Group, Inc., who spoke at the annual USDA Agricultural Outlook Forum at Arlington, Va.
He says the new insurance products "have been thoroughly reviewed and well-regulated through the traditional Federal Crop Insurance regulations and institutions, insuring producers fairness and value."
With a strong regulatory structure in place, the market is ready for "even more livestock-related products," he says.
New Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) and Livestock Gross Margin (LGM) insurance programs, launched in July, 2002, will likely become "base products" for the next year or two, Griffin says, with the main developments coming in terms of expansion into new commodities and geographical areas.
There has already been an expansion of LRP into feeder cattle and fed cattle.
"The potential for livestock insurance products is larger than the current legislative funding allows," he notes, "but the timeframe for reaching the program's limits is uncertain. What is certain is that new livestock insurance products are currently being developed and will be submitted to the Risk Management Agency for approval.
"The success of this developing industry will depend as much on developments in the regulation of these products as on the number of products that are developed."
The market for livestock insurance products could ultimately be limited by current government regulation," Griffin says, but while the market is developing, the products have yet to approach funding milestones set by Congress.
"New livestock price and revenue products, such as LRP-Fed Cattle and LRP-Feeder Cattle, have been approved and are being made final. Others will be submitted to the RMA this year for approval."
By the end of 2003, he says, there will likely be at least 16 state/livestock program combinations for livestock price and revenue products.
"The long-term outlook for the livestock insurance market may depend on research projects currently under way. One that has generated tremendous interest in the U.S. and abroad addresses foreign animal diseases for livestock."
The Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is assessing potential for livestock insurance as a risk management tool to work in conjunction with its quarantine and depopulation policies.
"The goal is a more comprehensive program that would combine regulatory indemnification programs with private insurance to protect animal and aquaculture industries from business losses," Griffin says.
Historically, he notes, livestock has accounted for at least 50 percent of the receipts in U.S. agriculture. "But to look at the USDA crop insurance program, you wouldn't know that livestock was any part of the agricultural community."
Livestock insurance was specifically prohibited from being offered in the government program.
The Agricultural Risk Protection Act (ARPA) of 2000 "changed the landscape" for agricultural insurance, Griffin says, by allowing livestock to come under the auspices of the Risk Management Agency.
"RMA gained some responsibility and control over the market's growth, but the development of livestock products now follows an accepted regulatory structure that protects producers' interests.
"The outlook for this new, emerging market is brighter as a result."
In the past, he says, livestock producers indirectly benefited from the RMA program through yield-based programs that covered production risks of their inputs. Other programs were of value to livestock producers who grew their own grains.
"The livestock industry has also benefited from programs that support the production of feed grains, since it uses approximately 80 percent of the corn and over 90 percent of the soybean meal produced, as well as 20 percent of the wheat, 55 percent of the sorghum, 65 percent of the barley, and 75 percent of the oats."
There are also yield-based products specific to livestock producers, such as forage production, forage seeding, and rangeland.
ARPA directed RMA to offer livestock products dealing specifically with risk. "The legislative changes occurred after 1998, when it was obvious that livestock producers weren't managing their price risk."
Estimates are that significantly less than 20 percent of swine and cattle producers use futures or options and "it's clear that small to medium producers are less likely to do so than large producers. And though many producers have packer contracts, few of those with contracts have true price risk protection."
The new livestock insurance products have received "tremendous support" from producers, producer groups, and politicians, he says, with requests for expansion to new states and development of new products.
"Regulations are developing with this market," Griffin says, "but we can already say that the current guidelines at RMA have yielded tremendous benefits by safeguarding producers' interests, sanctioning developed products, and instilling confidence into this new market."

The Hollywood remakes keep coming, and with the '80s being a popular decade to draw from, rebooting its movies is becoming a sure bet for studios.
Some of these movie remakes of 1980s classics will be arriving in theaters as early as later this year and some are still a ways off.
"Annie" (1982)
The last big-screen incarnation of the Little Orphan starred Aileen Quinn in the title role, with Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks, Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan, Ann Reinking as Grace, Tim Curry as Rooster, and Bernadette Peters as Lily. The latest version will see "Beasts of the Southern Wild" star Quvenzhané Wallis as Annie, with Cameron Diaz as Miss Hannigan and Jamie Foxx as Daddy Warbucks, renamed as Benjamin Stacks. You will now forget about the Disney TV movie remake in 1999.
"The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!" (1988)
It's hard to fill the shoes of the amazing Leslie Nielsen in his role as bumbling detective Lt. Frank Drebin but "The Hangover" star Ed Helms is going to give it a try in the reboot, which was announced in December. The script is being written by Thomas Lennon and R. Ben Garant, who are best known for their work on the movie "Night at the Museum" and the "Reno 911" series.
"Poltergeist" (1982)
"Poltergeist" is one of the best horror films of the '80s and one of the greatest haunted house movies of all time. The Sam Raimi produced remake is currently in production with a cast that includes Sam Rockwell, Jared Harris, Rosemary DeWitt, and Jane Adams.
"Scarface" (1983)
This film is a classic for all the wrong reasons, but "Scarface" is one of the most groundbreaking crime dramas of all time from director Brian De Palma and starred Al Pacino. As of the summer of 2013, David Yates (director of the entire second half of the "Harry Potter" series) was in talks to direct the reimagining that's rumored to deal with Mexican drug cartels. Yates has since signed on for another remake, "Tarzan," so don't expect this one for a while.
"Short Circuit" (1986)
No. 5 is Alive again! "Hop" and "Alvin and the Chipmunks" director Tim Hill is developing a remake of John Badham's sci-fi comedy that starred Ally Sheedy and Steve Guttenberg. Original scene-stealer Fisher Stevens has apparently been approached to star and the film will reportedly be "darker" as it updates the story for the contemporary world of drone warfare. Really? Boo! Bad humans.

There are a number of liars in the news these days–Lance Armstrong, Manti Teo (or somebody), and more. Michael Ramirez lines up three notorious liars:
My only suggestion is that he could have included Jack Lew.
UPDATE: I can't resist a personal note. My youngest daughter got home from school a few minutes ago–8:15 on a Friday night, a sign of the times–and reported that she got a perfect score on a speech introducing a paper she wrote titled "How Labor Unions Kill Jobs." Her speech included some slides, one of which was this Ramirez cartoon:
Ramirez should be proud; he is infiltrating American high schools!

Gripping, mature account of Marie Antoinette.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Farewell, My Queen is a French-language historical drama (subtitled in English) about the events in the days leading up to the storming of the Bastille in 1789 -- notably Marie Antoinette's personal relationships with her ladies-in-waiting and special friend. Expect to feel a bit like a voyeur allowed behind the curtains to see a queen undone by the rapid shift in politics and dwelling on the imminent loss of an illicit relationship. There's some nudity (two women are shown naked, one while sleeping), relationships between both opposite- and same-sex couples, a bit of swearing, and deep chasms between social classes.
Messages: The class system is clearly in effect, and the power dynamic has very damaging consequences. The ladies-in-waiting in the queen's court are treated somewhat well, but not that well.
Role models: Sidonie is extremely loyal to her queen -- a feeling that, no surprise, isn't returned with as much fervor. Marie Antoinette is intense, capricious, and capable of both great acts of generosity and selfishness. She was also known for her material excesses, some of which is on display here.
Violence: The storming of the Bastille plays a role in the story, but it's more discussed than shown.
Sex: A woman is shown disrobing and stands naked for a short time, her entire body exposed. Another woman is seen asleep naked. Innuendoes and talk of sex. Furtive sexual relationships between both opposite- and same-sex couples.
Language: Infrequent swearing (in subtitles) includes the word "s--t." A man's anatomy is mentioned.
Consumerism: Not an issue
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Some period-accurate drinking of wine and liqueur.

Our method of buying a car avoids hassles and yields the best possible price. The key is competition—getting new-car dealers to bid competitively for your business. We tell you how to do it.
Here are a few of the many information resources that can help you shop for a car.
Getting a good deal on a car lease is considerably more complex than on a straight purchase, and dealers love this complexity. If you want to lease, you can still initiate a competitive bidding process by nailing down several additional points.
EB Writes: "Because I'm a bit of a skeptic...I have been doing my own online research. I have also contacted other buying services from organizations that I belong to (USAA, MVCP, and UBS). None of my research or the other (free to me) services produced the results that CarBargains did..."
Kiplinger's Buyer's Guide wrote: ...CarBargains has gotten lower price quotes than other car-buying services in several consumer tests, including a test conducted by Kiplinger Personal Finance Magazine.
Thank you for your interest in our CarBargains service. We believe our one-of-a-kind service is, as hundreds of customers have told us, "the only way to buy a new car.''

Dog walks 30 miles to owner's new home
Thursday, January 10, 2002
HONEOYE, N.Y. A German shepherd mix known as Pooh Bear did something doggone amazing. After getting lost nearly a year ago, the dogged pooch somehow trekked 30 miles in the direction of her owner's new home.
"When my daughter asked me what I wanted for Christmas, all I said was that I wanted Pooh Bear back," owner Betty Gartley said in Thursday's Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. "Getting her back is a miracle."
The gentle, 10-year-old dog ran out of the house last February in the Rochester suburb of Greece and disappeared. Gartley and her husband, Lee, searched for her for months in vain.
"She wasn't a dog that would just wander off," Gartley said. "She had been let out of the house alone many times before and she always came back when she was called."
By the time the couple moved to their new home last year in this Finger Lakes hamlet, some 40 miles southeast of Rochester, they had pretty much given up hope of seeing Pooh Bear again.
But the dog evidently was on their trail.
In October, Pooh Bear was spotted darting in and out of traffic in Canandaigua 30 miles from her old home but still 12 miles from here and was taken to an animal shelter. Lee Gartley called the shelter Jan. 3 when he heard Pooh Bear being described on a dog-adoption television show.
"When Mrs. Gartley came in to look at the dog, you could see from the dog's reaction that there was no doubt that it was her dog," Ed McGuigan, director of the Ontario County Humane Society, told the newspaper.

I know lots of you are Coach fans and many of you probably already know about this. Coach Factory Outlets do have online sales but you need an invitation to shop.
You can register here for a
Nike Air Max 1 Sneakers Gr US 12 3rFH2D1
You might try entering your last name first and just see if they let you in. If not, just try to enter your email address and maybe you will have an invite coming your way.
I checked out the sale that is running right now. I am not big on bags personally but I do have a Coach bag and the online price listed was about $2 more than I paid last year with a coupon at the outlet. So it seems like you might be able to get a good deal on a bag.
******If you would like to receive an invite to the next sale, simply email me at myfrugaladventures at yahoo.com (remove spaces) and put COACH in the subject line. Update 5/2015– Coach has stopped sending these invites out so I am no longer able to forward them out.

I Saw You
Fairy tales usually have happy endings, especially the ones involving love at first sight. Cinderella and Snow White both snared their princes with just one look. It would seem only fitting if the following story ends as happily.
To protect this subject's privacy, we'll call our prince "Lance." Readers might know him better as the "Department of Agriculture" man in the "I Saw You" section of the IT Singles Connection. His ad says, "Beautiful, blonde female at vending machine. You had lots of jewelry on. I passed you in the hallway in a camouflage green coat. Would love to hear from you."
Lance, 37, works for the school district and is in the National Guard. During a trip to the Department of Agriculture, he encountered the woman in a classic instance of love at first sight.
"She was very attractive," he says. "I said 'Hi' and that was it. I didn't know what else to say--it just all happened so quick."
Replaying the moment in his mind, he wondered whether he could have done something differently. The woman began to haunt his thoughts, and Lance decided he had to try to speak with her again. He was skimming through a copy of Illinois Times when he came upon the "I Saw You" section of the personal ads.
"It was a long shot," Lance says. "I've never tried anything like this before, but it was at least a possibility."
Each year thousands of people place personal ads in this paper, but only about 50 folks try their luck in the "I Saw You" section. TelePublishing, a company in Boston that oversees the personals in both Illinois Times and TheState Journal-Register, keeps the identity of advertisers confidential. Those wishing to respond have to call a number to leave a message.
Towering more than six feet tall with brown hair and blue eyes, and weighing in at 200 pounds, Lance says he should be considered "a wonderful catch." But with a busy work schedule and weekends consumed by National Guard duty, he's found it difficult to meet that special someone.
"I own my own home, pay taxes, live in a quiet neighborhood, don't use drugs, and rarely drink," Lance says. "I can't believe I'm not married."
No one has answered his ad, but Lance hasn't given up hope. He knows "some things are not meant to be," but with every new issue he hopes the beautiful woman will respond. For now this remains a story of unrequited love. One day before Valentine's, he's still calling on Cupid.

I was looking at the Yankee Beemer event calendar to make sure I schedule my weekends so that I can get to the Frosty Nuts Rally this year, and I see a familiar graphic advertising their NYC bus trip for the show. At first I thought maybe it was generic, and that our team (LCBC Freedom Riders) added our name to the bottom, but if you blow up the picture on the YB website, you clearly see "LCBC Freedom Riders". Planned to point it out to just them, but their website and email are being worked on and no matter how many times I hit "send", it would not go. I don't really care, as I didn't make the graphic, (if I did, it wouldn't have a Sportster on it). I found it funny that they would not have a BMW on their announcement.
So when is this year's Frosty Nuts rally?

Stanford, Calif. -
Cameron Rast
On game:
"I thought it was a good game for us and a great result. We played very solid soccer. When I look at the scoresheet and see that they had only three shots and we have a 1-0 win, I am happy. I am feeling pretty good about our defense and our team shape. To go on the road against Stanford with a young team and get a win is great. I think that it was a fair result and I am happy with the performance."
On defense:
"At halftime, we talked about not making mistakes and I think that guys played smart and did not allow them to do too much. We really limited their opportunities. All four of the guys in the back did a great job and with Peter Lowry sitting in front of them, we are a difficult team to break down. I am proud of the job they did back there."
On freshmen's contributions:
"I think the young players did quite well. We expected them to play well because they are very talented players. Stephen McCarthy jumped right in and made an impact and I believe that he can be even better. Amaechi is obviously a great player and he drew a lot of attention tonight because of the things that he can do with the ball. Overall, I was happy with the way the new guys contributed."
On shutting down Stanford:
"The four of us have been playing together in the back for 2-3 years and we feel very comfortable as a unit. We were very solid tonight and Joe (Buttita) played well behind us so we did not allow them many chances. It was a good game for us back there."
On setting up penalty kick:
"Ryan (Brown) did a really good job of pressuring them and forcing the turnover, and then he found me in the box. I took a little touch and was able to turn the defender. Right when I was going to shoot, he got a piece of the back of my heel and the referee called the foul. I got a little lucky because a lot of times referees might not call that. I think it was deserved goal though because we had created some good chances."
On beating Stanford in first game:
"All I have been hearing about this week is the rivalry between Stanford and Santa Clara. We saw some alumni and they were telling us, "You guys have to beat Stanford", so it was definitely a big game. I was just glad that I could make an impact in a win against them."
On forward line:
"I love playing with three forwards. We are able to apply a lot of pressure to the other team's defense and make them play some quick balls out of the back that we can win and then get back on offense. We are able to create a lot of turnovers so our defense basically creates our offense."
On penalty kick:
"I went low down the middle because he looked a little antsy and I thought he would jump in one direction or the other and he did. I guess it was smart and maybe a bit cheeky to put it right down the middle."
On team's play:
"I think we had some nerves coming into this first game with so many new faces, but we have such a solid defense and we have six of us out there that have played together for three years. We know the system and that really showed tonight. The leadership of the veterans tonight really helped to sort out any jitters that we might have had."
Looking ahead to Cal game:
"Cal is just an opponent that has had our number the past couple of seasons. It is an intense rivalry and probably the game that I look forward to the most because every game is so tight. We have had chances to beat them and somehow they always seem to come out on top. It is just a game between two good teams that know each other very well. We definitely have a little bit of a chip on our shoulder and we hope that we can get a win on Sunday."

Never fear, however: the historical site is merely undergoing a much-needed facelift, said La Jolla Historical Society executive director Heath Fox.
"The building really needed repairs and updates," he said. "We wanted, of course, to historically rehabilitate it, so we can show an example of how that can be done."
The building, designated as a historical site by the city, was constructed in 1904. Its original owners occupied it briefly before selling it to Virginia Scripps, who commissioned famed architect Irving Gill to design an addition in 1909.
Over the years, the cottage was used for a number of purposes, including as a guesthouse, school and bookstore, before it became the home of the La Jolla Historical Society in 2005.
The building has undergone various small renovations over the duration of its history, and, wishing to bring the patchwork repairs up to date all at once — while also upgrading the building to museum standards — the Historical Society opted to once and for all give the cottage some love.
One of the most important upgrades involves installing museum-grade track lighting, as well as humidity control and HVAC systems — all of which will create a world-class gallery space that can support valuable historical exhibitions.
"It's definitely a challenge," said project manager Joseph Diasparra, of Hill Construction Co., who along with Ione Stiegler of IS Architecture, is handling the renovations. "Bringing all the mechanical and electrical systems to museum-quality standards requires a full team effort. This is one of the oldest structures in La Jolla, and it will be great in terms of what it can bring in for the gallery. It will open a lot of opportunity."
The renovations haven't been without their surprises — both good and bad. When the team from Hill Construction began interior work in early July, they uncovered what turned out to be the original beadboard ceiling, which they plan to keep in the restoration. Another discovery was less welcome: the walls are what's known as single-wall construction, meaning there is merely one thin board between walls — and no room to run electrical wires inside walls from room to room.
The upgrades, including adding an elevator to comply with ADA standards, restoring the original roof and updating security and fire-prevention systems, are almost entirely taking place in the interior. The exterior, per historical designation guidelines, must stay the same.
Wisteria Cottage is set to reopen next spring, but in the meantime, said Fox, don't expect the society to go dormant. A new exhibition will open Sept. 21 at the Museum of Contemporary Art featuring a joint history of La Jolla's MCASD (built as the home of Ellen Browning Scripps) and Wisteria Cottage.
When the cottage and its renovations are unveiled, its first exhibition will feature mid-century modernism art and architecture — fitting for its Craftsman style, reminiscent of early Gill work. The exhibition will be significant in another way: it will coincide with the Historical Society's 50th anniversary celebration.
For more information on the history of Wisteria Cottage and the current construction, visit lajollahistory.org.


text: "The Awakening" is a fairly standard, yet enjoyable, ghost movie that stars some pretty familiar faces, including Rebecca Hall ("The Town," "Frost/Nixon," and "The Prestige"), Imelda Staunton ( The "Harry Potter" series) and Dominic West ("300," "The Wire"). Rebecca Hall plays "Florence" an author and skeptic who debunks ghost sightings and exposes charlatans who claim to be able to contact the dead. She is invited to a boys school to investigate a ghost haunting that has left one boy dead and the rest of the children terrified.

The amount of negativity coming from some camps in our lovely forums has been astounding. I've actually read posts from people thinking we are no better than last season and that we will have the same record?! Lol...
Well anyway here's my own personal statistical analysis of our Knicks, 2009 vs 2010 and what it means going into next year.
2009 Knicks: 102 for 106 against
2010 Knicks: We now have Amare over Lee (scoring upgrade) and Felton over Duhon (scoring upgrade). In the scoring department we only lost Al Brickington so a reasonable assessment would be us having a similar PPG for. An optimistic assessment would be that with our significantly upgraded backcourt and frontcourt in terms of speed and athleticism we will see an increase in scoring due to the uptempo system of D'antoni being better suited to speed and athleticism.
As far as defense goes, we upgraded at almost every spot. Chandler/Gallo/Douglas are all proving to be solid defenders. Amar'e is certainly no worse than Lee and could be argued to be better (height advantage, better vertical). We added Turiaf and Azubuike who are good defenders. We will certainly see a reduced PPG against us this season.
2010 Prediction: 103-104 PPG for 103-104 PPG against (yes I'm predicting we will be a .500-.550 team next year)
2009 Knicks: 40.4 for 44.9 against
2010 Knicks: We lost some rebounding with David Lee's exit but we gained with Turiaf/Randolph. On the offensive glass we will be better than before and defensively we should be equal. Depending which players break the rotation we will certainly see a better rebounding TEAM as we will have size at the appropriate positions unlike last season where our PF spot was covered by undersized forwards.
2010 Prediction: 43.5 for 42 against
2009 Knicks: 21.6 for 21.0 against
2010 Knicks: This is a no brainer, we got a huge upgrade at our starting 1 spot who is a pass first PG. Even if his stats don't blossom which anyone with knowledge of PG's in D'antoni's system are sure will happen, we will still see an increase here. As far as the east goes though, all the other PG's are improving so we will probably see in increase against us too.
2010 Prediction: 24 for 22 against
2009 Knicks: 3.7 for 4.5 against
2010 Knicks: Again, we are going to see improvement here without a doubt. Amare blocks a shot per game more than Lee and Randolph/Turiaf can both block. Considering our athleticism and the fact we have guards who can finish strong around the rim now as oppose to Duhorrible and Larry Hughes who could put up a layup so soft it could be blocked by Nate Robinson, you would expect a decrease against us too.
2010 Prediction: 4.5 for 4.0 against
As far as other team stats go, they are harder to break down at face value. You would imagine an overall increase in FG% once things settle down in the offense. With this team we are going to be playing much more consistent ball than just hoisting shots to keep ourselves in the game. If our 3P% stays the same or improves it will be nice.
Next thing to look at is how people are crying like girls that the East got "soooooo much better" while we barely did anything... Erm, hello? How exactly did the east get SO MUCH better?
Orlando: Probably losing Barnes and Redick. No real improvement through trades or FA. Best case equal to last year, worst case they will decline.
Celtics: Resigned their aging stars, lost Nate and possibly Sheed who were big for them down the stretch. Made a couple of decent signings. Probably equal to last year.
Cavaliers: What can you say. They lost Lebron. They are most likely gonna be in turmoil. I'd be surprised if they made the playoffs.
Bucks: Possibly a team on the up. Bogut and Jennings should improve and they are looking strong.
Bobcats: Lost Felton to us, would be surprised if they got better.
Bulls: Definately stronger, only team other than NY and Miami in the east that will see a significant improvement.
Nets: With the addition of the 3rd pick and Anthony Morrow they should improve a bit, but improving on last season is not exactly hard. Still not likely to see playoff action.
Wizards: Even with John Wall they are incomplete and are unlikely to do big things this year.
Hawks: Pretty much the same, if Joe Johnson brings it like he should after securing a 100 million dollar payday they should get a little better.
Pacers, Pistons, Sixers, Raptors: Only real improvement is their draft picks, nothing major, plus Toronto lost Bosh so lol.
So exactly where is this huge improvement in the Eastern conference? And how is our team with Felton over Duhon, Amare over Lee, and Randolph/Turiaf added NOT significantly better than last year?
2010 Regular Season Standings as predicted by me:
1 Miami
2 Boston
3 Orlando
4 Chicago
5 Atlanta
6 Milwaukee
7 New York
8 Who cares?
If you bothered to read all this you must be just as bored as I am

Peterson drama quickens Khan's route to MayweatherSteve Bunce May 15, 2012
Amir Khan should have the WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles given back to him - and his December fight with Lamont Peterson should be declared a no contest. It's that simple.
That's what has happened in the past when fighters have failed a drug test, as Peterson did earlier this year. Peterson has admitted using illegal testosterone pellets before facing Khan, so he was a drug cheat at that point.
That being so, I can't see how Khan getting his belts back is even up for debate.
I expect Peterson is going to say to the Nevada State Athletic Commission that he didn't know the testosterone pellets were banned; ie. the same excuse people have been trotting out since the 1970s. It can never be proved whether he's lying or not - but the bottom line is that, as an athlete, he is responsible for watching what enters his body.
One of the men around him - and we saw lots of them in the ring celebrating when he beat Khan - needed to step back and say, 'Are these pellets legal or illegal?' Ultimately, they were illegal - and Peterson should have known that.
According to Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions (which works with Khan), Team Peterson and the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) knew on April 13 that Peterson had failed a drug test - and no-one made Golden Boy aware until May 7.
Somebody from Team Peterson should have called Golden Boy sooner - however, it appears that Golden Boy is marginally at fault because it failed to return a piece of paper to VADA which would have allowed it to know the drug results.
VADA works exclusively in the world of boxing and mixed martial arts, and I feel it should have 'leaked' the information to Golden Boy, because the livelihoods of hundreds of people were at stake, not to mention the fans - and not just British fans; it's as tricky to get from Florida to Las Vegas as it is from Bolton to Las Vegas.
People should have been talking off the record to resolve the situation. A lot of conversations could have taken place in that April 13-May 7 period.
We know Peterson has used an illegal substance, so I can't see how he doesn't get suspended for a period: six months, maybe a year. After that, he can come back and have a grudge rematch with Khan.
This whole saga is bad timing for Khan, who we're told wants to fight in July - and that's going to be a bit of a squeeze for trainer Freddie Roach, who has Manny Pacquiao's June 9 fight with Timothy Bradley on his agenda.
But bizarrely, the Peterson revelations could lead to a bout between Khan and Floyd Mayweather Jr later this year, which I believe would be premature.
I feel that should be a May 2013 fight, and I say that because the longer Khan leaves it before getting in the ring with Mayweather, the better chance he has of winning. Mayweather, as brilliant as he is (and his status as a great boxer is assured), has slowed down - so another year is only going to make him even slower.
But first Khan is expected to meet Danny Garcia, the undefeated WBC light-welterweight champion, in his next contest. While I don't think Garcia is a more dangerous opponent than Peterson, it's a good fight and one I'd like to see.
However, I get the feeling Garcia and his team would demand an awful lot of money, and I can just imagine that sum exceeding the public demand for the contest. If so, there's plenty of other fights floating around: don't rule out a catchweight scrap against someone like Paulie Malignaggi, who is now a world champion again.
That said, there isn't much time to build a July fight, especially if it's a unification one with Garcia. Having three titles would be a great way for Khan to leave the light-welterweight division - and I know he would want that.
But what you want and get in boxing are two very different things.
Sexton shock?
Thankfully after the testosterone pellets, metal barriers, involvement of Luxembourg royalty, and the chaos of boxing's bad, bad days over the last week, you get a real fight this weekend when David Price goes for the British heavyweight title against Sam Sexton.
I've never seen such biased media coverage of any British vacant-title fight. It's like Sexton doesn't even exist, and that's going to be brilliant motivation for the Norwich boxer, who is a big old lump and has been in with some decent guys: Dereck Chisora and Martin Rogan, to name two.
Price is being set up to rule the world - but he's got to get rid of Sexton first.
Chisora and Fury, according to Price and his people, are easy fights. No-one's mentioned Sexton. I'm telling you, Sexton has the ability to make it very awkward and difficult for David Price on the night.

I'm wondering how to make my predominately black wardrobe look on-trend for fall
Like a loyal friend that you can always count on, an all-black ensemble is an indispensable weapon in one's wardrobe arsenal. They match with everything, don't require much thought, and always accomplish a look that is equal parts chic and alluring. That being said, a closet that is primarily on the dark side of the spectrum will definitely benefit from some fresh updates. Heading into fall, I propose you think of your go-to black outfits as the perfect canvas to build upon with colour, prints, and fabulous accessories! Now, my first instinct-make that, animal instinct-with any unlit look is to incorporate a wild print. A fashion-forward pair of leopard loafers, snakeskin belt or python satchel will instantaneously boost one's appearance for a feminine and glamorous feel. Of course, another fabulous way to balance out black attire is to reach for eye-catching accessories; remember, bright add-ons are not to be reserved for just the warmer months! Try a vibrant modal scarf, bold platform booties or hotly hued knit beanie to achieve major results. Obviously, while we're talking accessories, we can't forget about jewellery either, so consider complementing your getup with sleek bangles or a tribal-inspired necklace. Wrapping things up, the last touch to illuminating shadowy style comes via a statement beauty look. Dare to wear a deep red lip, dramatic brows or rose-tinted blush, and you will effortlessly enhance your black uniform. While this gives you plenty to work with, my final thoughts are to pick and choose one or two ideas to work into your outfit...trying all of them at once would not be so chic ;) xoRZ

Crafting a Closing Argument
The purpose of closing argument is to give the jurors the tools they need to reach a verdict. When the jurors begin their deliberations, it is likely that they will be divided, with some favoring the plaintiff and some favoring the defendant. As they deliberate, the stronger jurors will become advocates who attempt to persuade the others to their view of the case. You must give the jurors the ammunition they need to argue your case effectively to the other jurors. Closing argument is the only time in the trial when you can do this effectively.
You must give the jurors the ammunition they need to argue your case effectively to the other jurors.
Organize your argument by topic. The topical method of organization allows you to organize and present the facts in the manner that is most persuasive—which is not necessarily chronologically. Focus on theory, themes, and story. Ask yourself why the jury should return a verdict in favor of your client. You should be able to answer this question in a sentence or two. If there is more than one reason, which are the two or three most persuasive ones? The answers to these questions will be your topics for closing argument.
In arranging your topics, use the principles of primacy and recency. Research teaches us that jurors are most likely to remember what they hear first in your argument and what they hear last, so they are likely to be most attentive at the beginning of your closing argument and at the end. If you have three topics, discuss the two strongest topics first and last.
Build up your theory before rebutting your opponent's theory. Whether you represent the plaintiff or the defendant, you must help the jury understand why a verdict in favor of your client is a fair result. Start by building your affirmative case and only then rebutting your opponent's view of the case. Your task is relatively straightforward if you represent the plaintiff: Spend your initial argument discussing your affirmative topics and wait to challenge the defendant's theory in rebuttal. Your task is somewhat more complicated if you represent the defendant. Here, you must challenge the plaintiff's theory.
It is more difficult to plan your rebuttal. You will not know what points you need to rebut until you have heard the defendant's argument. What you should not do, however, is make a list of the defendant's arguments in the order in which the defendant makes them and go through the list rebutting each one in that order. By doing this, you would be ignoring your agenda—the topics that you believe are important—and, instead, using the defendant's agenda—the topics he or she believes are important.
Tell the jury how you have organized your argument. It will be much easier for the jurors to follow your argument and remember your key points if you use signposts to guide them. There are several ways that you can use signposts in your closing argument. The simplest way is to explain at the beginning how you have organized the argument: "I am going to be talking about three different topics. First I will talk about . . . then I will talk about . . . and finally I will talk about. . . ." An even better approach is to list your topics on a demonstrative exhibit labeled Plaintiff's Closing Argument or Defendant's Closing Argument. At the beginning of your argument, you can refer to the exhibit and its list of topics. Display this exhibit throughout the argument. You can then use it to transition from one topic to the next.
Once you have selected your topics and arranged them in the most persuasive order, you are ready to select the content for your closing argument. Following are some suggestions for how to make those choices.
Frame the issues for the jury. Explain to the jurors what is important to their decision and, also, what is not. Rarely, if ever, are all of the facts in dispute. Often, the plaintiff and defendant disagree not about what the facts are, but about which facts or issues are most important. If, in your view, the jury need only decide one issue in your favor, tell them so. If your opposing counsel is confusing the jury by arguing a point that is irrelevant, explain why it is irrelevant.
Be selective. You do not need to describe every piece of evidence during your closing argument. If you have chosen your topics correctly, you can then use those topics as a guide. Discuss the evidence that relates to each topic. Any evidence that does not relate to one of your topics is unimportant to your argument and can probably be ignored.
Use your best, most persuasive evidence. The best evidence is, of course, an admission by the opposing party, whether in a document or in testimony. Undisputed evidence is also very persuasive; in almost every trial, at least some of the evidence will be undisputed. Equally important but often overlooked is evidence that is persuasive based upon common sense and everyday experience.
Show the jury the evidence. Do not just tell the jurors about the evidence. Do not assume that just because they saw a document earlier in the trial, they remember it now. If a document is important to your theory, show it to the jurors again in closing argument. Similarly, if a witness gave important testimony, you should read from the trial transcript or, better yet, display the transcript on a screen, highlight the key testimony, and read it to them.
Use jury instructions and verdict forms. Think of the jury instructions as another piece of supporting information. If a jury instruction provides support on an important topic in your argument, you may want to read from or refer to it. But a word of caution is in order. If you have not had your jury instruction conference before closing argument, it can be hazardous to refer to anticipated jury instructions in closing argument. If you tell the jurors that the judge will instruct them in a particular way and he does not, the jurors may conclude that the judge does not agree with your case.
Do not ignore bad facts. The jury will undoubtedly remember them. Rather, explain why a bad fact does not matter.
Sometimes the evidence is in conflict. In these situations, you should argue to the jury why your evidence should be believed. Whenever possible, try to reconcile the conflicting testimony of witnesses without accusing one of the witnesses of lying. Jurors are reluctant to conclude that a witness lied.
Use demonstrative exhibits. During closing argument, you can use any demonstrative exhibit that you have used earlier during the trial. However, by the time you reach closing argument, you may have used a particular exhibit so many times that it no longer has any impact on the jury, so be selective. Use a demonstrative exhibit only if you think it will make a difference. In addition to the demonstrative exhibits that you have used throughout the trial, you can create demonstrative exhibits specifically for closing argument. One of the best demonstratives for closing argument is a summary or list of the key pieces of evidence on a particular topic. Another effective demonstrative exhibit for closing is a list of the opposing party's arguments on a particular point, along with your responses to each argument.

People who print
DAZ 3D software has been an affordable and easy way for people to begin exploring 3D models and creating beautiful scenes quickly. Now, DAZ is offering a way to get 3D characters from your screen to your hand. 3D prints of models built within the Genesis 2 system are supported. Printed people (and a dragon) for people who print.
Genesis models are meshes created specifically for the DAZ platform, so you?ll get much more editing potential when using them in DAZ Studio.
Genesis 2 models continue to build on that technology, allowing for morphing, facial expression, smoother curves and subdivisions, and more.
Currently there are only 4 models available, but DAZ indicates that there will be a way for you to upload and print any of your DAZ Studio models.
DAZ 3D character models are built on the Genesis 2 figure platform. This means you can morph realistic characters into a limitless array of shapes. It means you can prep, pose, and animate any of them. With this state-of-the-art technology, it also means that all Genesis 2 characters are 3D print- ready. Envision it. Create it. Own it.
A very limited library is a start, but you may want to check out the software and a few models yourself so you can gear up for an opportunity to create your own custom prints once DAZ supports it.

NC regulator approves Duke Energy probe settlement
NC regulator approves Duke Energy probe settlement
North Carolina's utilities regulator and attorney general are settling separate investigations into whether Duke Energy misled officials before taking over its in-state rival Progress Energy.
The North Carolina Utilities Commission on Monday approved the settlement announced last week. The deal defines CEO Jim Rogers' retirement and the coming and going of several other executives and board members at what is now the country's largest electric company.
The commission had the power to reverse or alter its earlier approval allowing the merger.
Attorney General Roy Cooper's office said Monday it is ending its probe with a separate settlement in which the company agrees to heightened consumer protection oversight.
