Grains had some follow through trading from Friday's report as we saw heavy "bull-spreading" in corn and "bear-spreading" in soybeans. Wheat was trading sharply lower for most of the day but rallied in the last few minutes to finish only 3 ¾ cents lower. May corn closed 11 cents higher at $6.55 and May soybeans 18 cents higher at $14.21.
Friday's USDA report showed a decline in old crop corn supply which is helping May corn stay supported at $1.10 above December. They didn't find a large drawdown in soybean supply although the market was surprised with a much lower soybean acreage number than expected. So far November soybeans have received the largest rally from this report finishing 80.5 cents higher today than where they were on Thursday. We saw soybean open interest jump 31,000+ contracts on Friday alone which means new money is flowing into beans. With the new crop corn-bean ratio now trading at 2.54 to 1, more areas may plant soybeans where possible. We have to remember that the planting intentions were as of March 1st. The fact that we won't see the next acreage number until June may help keep soybeans supported to other markets like new crop corn until then. The next major resistance level should be at $14 (November) as we touched that level multiple times last September and fell from there. For December corn the 50 and 100 day moving averages are at $5.63 and $5.64 which may be the next areas of resistance.
Friday the markets will be closed in observance of Good Friday and reopen for the Sunday night trading session. We like staying with the current EHedger recommendations.

RALEIGH, N.C., Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Scioderm announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reviewed and allowed the investigational new drug (IND) application for SD-101 to proceed. SD-101 is a topical treatment being developed for the treatment of Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). The Company plans to initiate a Phase 1 study in the coming months, with initiation of the Phase 2B/3 study in EB patients to occur in the second half of 2013.
EB is a rare genetic condition that in all of its forms, share the prominent manifestation of extremely fragile skin that blisters or tears with the slightest friction or trauma. The disease affects not only the skin but also many internal organs and bodily systems. This particular manifestation has led to EB patients being known as Butterfly children due to the analogous nature of the fragility of the skin to the wings of a butterfly. As of today there is no cure or effective treatment. Wound care, pain management and preventative bandaging are the only options available for caregivers, usually the parents or other family members. The more severe forms of the disease lead to scarring, disfigurement, disability and early death, usually before the age of 30.
"We are excited to reach this important corporate milestone and to advance this novel therapy in the clinic," stated Robert Ryan , Ph.D., Chairman of the Board and Co-Founder of Scioderm. "We look forward to continuing our rapid development of this program to treat a disease where there are no current effective therapies. In addition, we look forward to working closely with the FDA to expedite the continuing clinical testing and regulatory review of SD-101."
"I am enthused by the results SD-101 has demonstrated and with the rapid progress Scioderm has achieved in bringing this potential treatment to the clinic," said Brett Kopelan , Executive Director of the Dystrophic EB Research Association of America (DebRA ) and father to a 5-year-old girl with recessive dystrophic EB. "I look forward to working with Scioderm as they work towards improving the quality of life of those with EB by targeting the chronic wounds that are the hallmark of this disease."
About SD-101
SD-101 is a topical cream that has previously demonstrated potential to provide improvement in treating the severe skin effects seen in patients across all EB subtypes. An open- label study was conducted previously in children with either Simplex, Recessive Dystrophic (RDEB), or Junctional EB. The primary outcome measurements were assessment of target wound reduction and closure, and reduction in body surface area (BSA) coverage of lesions and erosions. In the clinical trial, SD-101 application resulted in complete closure of 88% of target chronic lesions within one month, in addition to a 57% reduction in BSA coverage of lesions and erosions after 3 months of daily treatment. SD-101 was well tolerated by the children, with daily administration up to 3 months.

NEWPORT, R.I. (courtesy Salve Regina sports information) – The Brandeis University baseball team cut a six-run deficit to two in the eighth inning, but the Judges couldn't overcome the early hole as they fell to host Salve Regina University, 9-7, on Brother Reynolds Field today. The loss, Brandeis's fifth in a row, drops the Judges to 5-13 on the season, while SRU improves to 5-7, snapping a three-game skid.
Sophomore catcher Dan Gad (Mansfield, Mass./Mansfield) paced the Brandeis attack, going 3-for-4 with a double, two RBIs, and two runs scored, while freshman Kyle Brenner (Brookfield, Mass./St. Peter-Marian) and junior Pat Seaward (York, Maine/York) also compiled three hits apiece. Graduate student Pat Nicholson (Walpole, Mass./Walpole) also had a fine day at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a double and two walks, while also scoring a pair of runs.
Sophomore Anthony Conte (Georgetown, Mass.) was a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate while junior Daniel Kehew (Portsmouth, R.I.) earned a four-out save to lead the Seahawks. Conte added an RBI, two runs scored, and two stolen bases to his four-hit day. Senior Matt Capone (East Providence, R.I.) finished 3-for-5 with a pair of runs, while sophomore Daniel Donohue (Westbury, N.Y.), senior Nicholas Politelli (Warwick, R.I.), and senior Byron Reding (Darien, Conn.) each went 2-for-5 with a double in the win. On the mound, freshman Matthew Croteau (Cheshire, Conn.) pitched five strong innings to improve to 2-0 in his rookie campaign. Junior Robin Lowe (Andover, Mass.) pitched two scoreless frames in relief, while Kehew was dominant in his 1.1 innings, retiring each of the final four outs via the K to earn his first save of the year.
The Judges grabbed an early 1-0 lead by scratching across a run in the top of the first. Nicholson got things started with a leadoff double, and after moving to third on a sac bunt, the Brandeis leadoff man scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Gad.
The Seahawks put together a two-out rally in the third, scoring three runs on two hits, including an RBI double by Reding to claim a 3-1 advantage.
After Salve Regina added a run in the third on an RBI single by sophomore Nicholas Dell'Anno (Reading, Mass.), the Seahawks plated three more in the fourth, including a two-run single by freshman Joe Haley (North Kingstown, R.I.) to go ahead by the score of 7-1.
The Judges answered by posting a three spot of their own in the top of the fifth. Brandeis compiled five hits in the inning, including three consecutive RBI singles to cut the SRU lead down to 7-4.
In the bottom of the fifth, Reding flashed some terrific base running. He led off the inning with an infield hit to third, and when the throw bounced away from the first baseman, he scampered into scoring position. Reding then scored all the way from second on an infield single to deep short, stretching the Seahawks' lead to 8-4.
After Donohue put Salve Regina on top 9-4 with an run scoring double in the seventh, the Judges rallied for three runs on four hits in the top of the eighth.
With the score at 9-7 and the tying run standing at the plate with two outs in the eighth, Salve Regina head coach Steve Cirella went to the bullpen and brought in closer Daniel Kehew, who promptly got out of the inning with a strikeout.
Kehew went on to procure the save by striking out the side in the ninth, sealing the 9-7 win for the Seahawks in dominant fashion.
The Judges will return to action at home versus Framingham State on Sunday, while the Seahawks will hit the road for their conference opener on Saturday, facing Eastern Nazarene in a Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) doubleheader beginning at 12:30 p.m.

Nestled among the peaceful walnut and citrus groves of the San Fernando Valley, California State University Northridge is large school, and a young school compared to a lot of colleges–a it was only founded about 50 years ago! That doesn't mean it lacks for resources, however: the school offers bachelors degrees, masters programs, and even a doctorate program in education. The campus is home to the National Center On Deafness, and Cal State also opens its doors each year to host a number of large public events. This public school, which enrolls roughly 36,000 every year, doesn't lack for famous alumni, either—Paula Abdul, Eva Mendes, and Richard Dreyfus all went here, once upon a time.
We'll be honest, apartments in the Northridge area tend to be expensive. However, they are generally worth the price, when you consider that many of them come with 24-hour gym facilities, outdoor pools, and garages, not to mention slender palm trees lining the sidewalk. And over 90% of your classmates choose to live off-campus, so there's gotta be a good reason why. A veritable California dream...and if you're on a budget, you might luck out with units in modest two or three story complexes in the Reseda area. Figure out how to get the best bang for your buck with our apartment guide link. You can find out a little more about student life using our college life link.
There is the CSUN shuttle that can take you to different locations in and around campus. For refreshing, off-campus exploration, head northeast from town to the enormous Angeles National Forest. Northridge is surrounded by other parks like Pico Canyon, Rocky Peak, Topanga State Park, and Malibu Creek, too. The town itself is pretty devoid of nightclubs, so many students trek out to Hollywood when they want to have a serious night out. There are usually a lot of parties around campus on any given weekend, if you're sticking close to home. Browse the website Jointz Mag to get a sense of what's happening in the area.
Has the time come for you to get out of the dorm and move into an off campus CNU apartment? Perhaps the options available from the California National University housing office no longer meet your needs and you would like to find a cheap apartment close to the CNU campus. If so, you can search for off campus California National University apartments with MyNewPlace's college housing search.
Although California National University student housing may be very conveniently close to campus, moving to an off campus apartment can be a great way to save money, put some distance in between yourself and an RA, get accustomed to living in your own apartment and building up rental history.
CNU apartments for rent are available close to campus and in other neighborhoods around Northridge, California. Using our map based university apartment finder, you can find off campus housing near campus to ensure you can still make it to class on time.
We can help you find off campus CNU apartments that will best suit your collegiate lifestyle; search California National University apartments by the number of bedrooms, price, neighborhood or a range of other amenities.

Brief Synopsis
A songwriter enrolls in an all-girl school to court a pretty gym teacher.
In Los Angeles, popular songwriter Steve Elliott prepares to marry Caroline Brooks, who has pledged to give up her job as a college swimming instructor once she has wed. Likewise, Steve plans to quit his songwriting career, even though New York producer George Adams has already hired him to write new songs for a water ballet show. When George overhears Steve discussing his "retirement" with Caroline, he vows to prevent the marriage and enlists Maria Dorango, an aspiring actress posing as a Latin American singer, to help him. Moments after a justice of the peace pronounces the redheaded Steve and Caroline man and wife, Maria rushes in, claiming that Steve is her husband and the father of her three redheaded children. Although Steve pleads his innocence, Caroline storms off in a rage and returns to her teaching post at Victoria College in New Jersey. A determined Steve and his friend, Carlos Ramirez, follow her there, but are denied entrance to the all-female school. Later, in a New York nightclub, Steve meets drunken lawyer Chester Klazenfrantz and learns that Klazenfrantz has been hired to change the charter of Victoria College, which has never officially designated itself as all-female. Armed with this information, Steve returns to Victoria and insists on applying for admission. Unaware of Caroline's relationship to Steve, Dean Clinton suggests to the faculty that he be admitted for a two-week probationary period, during which time they would give him 100 demerits, which would qualify him for expulsion before Parents Day. Once enrolled, Steve tries to speak with Caroline, but she refuses to listen to his explanations and tells him she is seeking an annulment. Later, in music class, stodgy Professor Hendricks attempts to discredit Steve, whose presence on campus has created a furor among the co-eds, by ordering him to write his own version of the Scottish ballad "Loch Lomond" and teach the next day's class. With help from several talented students, Carlos and their friend Harry James and his orchestra, Steve meets Hendricks' challenge and is awarded an "A." That night, Steve visits Caroline at her house, but is turned out after Willis Evans, a conservative botany professor who is in love with Caroline, arrives. When Caroline realizes that Steve is hiding in her closet, spying on her, she commands Willis' Great Dane to guard the closet door, while reminding Steve that unless he is in his room in five minutes, he will be expelled for breaking curfew. With only seconds to spare, Steve manages to trick the dog long enough to escape back to his dingy basement room. Steve is then visited by George, who threatens to vilify him in the press unless he finishes his songs. When Steve swears deadly revenge on the person who hired Maria, however, George backs down and offers to help Steve do his homework. Concerned about the approaching Parents Day, Dean Clinton, meanwhile, commands Steve's professors, who have penalized him with only fifty-five demerits, to bear down on him. To that end, Mme. Zarka, Steve's ruthlessly strict ballet teacher, forces him to wear a tutu and dance with the co-eds, but Steve once again rises to the occasion. A now desperate Dean Clinton asks Caroline to go out with Steve and ensure that he arrives back at Victoria after the curfew. Caroline agrees, but during the evening, Steve convinces her of his innocence, and as they drive back to school, the newlyweds make plans to return to California together. Unknown to Caroline and Steve, Maria is on campus, looking to expose George, who has been trying to get rid of her, to Steve. At the same time, a campus sororiety descends on Steve's room, hoping to initiate him, and Jean Allenwood, another co-ed, shows up with news that her parents and Dean Clinton are on their way over to inspect his room. As Steve desperately hides all the women in two closets and keeps Caroline from discovering Maria, George unexpectedly arrives. Although Steve succeeds in hiding George and himself and fooling Dean Clinton and the Allenwoods, Maria soon makes her presence known to Caroline, who once again leaves in a fury. Later, Steve promises to write songs for George's water ballet show on condition he make Caroline the star. George agrees, and after Maria is finally able to tell Caroline the truth, Caroline happily reunites with Steve, who then gives George a thrashing.

10th Mountain Division Headquarters to Deploy to Iraq
By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5, 2007 - About 1,000 members of 10th Mountain Division will deploy to Iraq this spring as replacements for troops due to rotate home, Defense Department officials announced today.
The division, based at Fort Drum, N.Y., has been alerted of the upcoming deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman confirmed today.
"It was not a surprise. It was more of a confirmation," Benjamin Abel, the division's media relations officer, told American Forces Press Service.
Since returning from its last deployment in February and March, the unit has received new troops and conducted collective training, Abel said. Training in the months ahead will focus on getting the headquarters prepared to manage the brigades that fall under it in the theater, he said.
Training will include indoor computer simulations, as well as field training, and Abel said he has no concerns about northern New York's brutal winter conditions hampering the training. "These guys are as hard as nails," he said.
The headquarters' mission in Iraq will be to provide command and control, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities in support of security operations.
Whitman emphasized that the division will replace forces already in Iraq, not boost the U.S. troop presence there. Three headquarters elements are slated to remain in Iraq, although those plans could change based on conditions on the ground, he said.
The 10th Mountain Division headquarters will join 4th Infantry Division Headquarters, which deploys next month, and 1st Armored Division Headquarters, which recently arrived in country.
In addition to 1st Armored Division, headquarters units currently serving in Iraq are 3rd Infantry Division headquarters, which deployed in April, and 1st Cavalry Division Headquarters, which deployed in November 2006.

The advent of 3D printing continues to revolutionize the way we approach the creative process. If being able to draw up and print out your very own paper or plastic molds isn't enough, how about printing your own building? That's what Janjaap Ruijssenaars plans to do for the next two years.
The Dutch architect is setting out on a quest to build a structure resembling a Mobius strip using the relatively new D-Shape printer. He has already enlisted the help of two friends: the mathematician-sculptor Rinus Roelofs and Enrico Dini, the man who invented the D-Shape 3D printer. The Landscape House will appear as "one surface folded in an endless mobius band." Just imagine a building whose floors seamlessly transform into ceiling, along with stairs that spiral you from the lower floor to the upstairs level and back down on the opposite end.
How does one actually go about printing an entire building? Using the D-Shape printer, 20-by-30-foot slabs of a concrete-like material will be printed out at 5mm-thick intervals. The D-Shape is essentially a large aluminum structure that uses CAD/CAM software to drive the manufacturing process taking place inside it. The printer uses stereolithography to solidify and join thin layers of sand with the help of an inorganic bonding agent. The result is an exceptional marble-like material with superior traction, compression, and bending strengths that does not require steel reinforcement. It's also 100 percent environmentally friendly.
It is estimated that each building will cost $6 million to print. The first is expected to be completed by 2014, and the backers hope to print at least one Mobius building per country.
Our creative capabilities continue to expand, even more so now that manufacturing techniques using 3D printing are beginning to catch up with the design potential of advanced CAD software. The work of Ruijssenaars and his partners shows how humans are slowly bridging the gap between imagination and ingenuity.

CURRENTLY BACKORDERED UNTIL APRIL 15th. ORDER NOW TO ASSURE APRIL 16th SHIPMENT.
10 oz 100% cotton canvas fabric with a waxed finish that gives it a finished weight of 13+ oz. Natural color retains tiny specks of the cotton seeds, making each square inch of it totally unique and one of a kind. Super durable and weather resistant, this fabric is just the thing to hold up under the toughest conditions. Made from food and pharmaceutical grade waxes that are completely non-hazardous and non-toxic, the waxes coat each yarn individually, allowing the cotton fabric a degree of breathability. As the fabric ages, it develops a well-worn patina, giving your garment or accessory an ageless comfort, in the same manner that leather develops and burnishes with time. Handling will create a degree of crazing, which is part of the natural beauty of this fabric. Such crazing marks can be removed, if desired, by using a medium hot iron over brown paper. This is an extemely durable fabric that requires minimal care. However, just as you should not wash fabric upholstery or a leather product such as shoes, gloves, or jackets, you should not dry clean or use detergent on waxed cotton. Wax fabrics have been successfully used for many years without washing. A periodic cleaning with a hose, damp cloth or soft scrub brush for heavy dirt is all that is needed. Your shower works equally as well. Sometimes a mild bar or flake soap (not detergent) or even Saddle soap will remove stubborn stains. As with most fabrics, darker colors do a better job of masking stains.
If you need more of this fabric, or a little less, please email with your requests. Discounts available on orders of 25 yards and greater. International customers are welcomed, but please contact us prior to placing your order as this fabric has special shipping considerations.

You are encouraged to request a fabric sample should you have any concerns regarding fabric color, weight, texture, etc.: Remember ... computer monitors can vary in their depiction of fabric color. 20% re-stocking fee applies on all returned items.
Fabric orders are custom cut by our shipping department. Therefore a small portion of shipping charges go toward paying their wages. Also, fabric orders that ship on a roll are usually too long to travel on FedEx or USPS conveyor belts. Therefore they must move through the shipping facilities BY HAND which incurs an additional (and fairly substantial) handling fee from the courier.

A judge struck down New York's limits on large sugary drinks on Monday, one day before they were to take effect, in a significant blow to one of the most ambitious and divisive initiatives of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's tenure.
In an unusually critical opinion, Justice Milton A. Tingling of State Supreme Court in Manhattan called the limits "arbitrary and capricious," echoing the complaints of city business owners and consumers who had deemed the rules unworkable and unenforceable, with confusing loopholes and voluminous exemptions.
The decision comes at a sensitive time for Mr. Bloomberg, who is determined to burnish his legacy as he enters the final months of his career in City Hall, and his administration seemed caught off guard by the decision. Before the judge ruled, the mayor had called for the soda limits to be adopted by cities around the globe; he now faces the possibility that one of his most cherished endeavors will not come to fruition before he leaves office, if ever.
The mayor's plan, which he pitched as a novel effort to combat obesity, aroused worldwide curiosity and debate — and the ire of the American soft-drink industry, which undertook a multimillion-dollar campaign to block it, flying banners from airplanes over Coney Island, plastering subway stations with advertisements and filing the lawsuit that led to the ruling.
Mr. Bloomberg said he would immediately appeal, and at a quickly arranged news conference, he fiercely defended the rationale for the rules, which would have limited the size of sugary drinks to 16 ounces at restaurants, theaters and food carts.
"I've got to defend my children, and yours, and do what's right to save lives," the mayor said. "Obesity kills. There's no question it kills."
He added, "We believe that the judge's decision was clearly in error, and we believe we will win on appeal."
The plan, unveiled last May, was hailed by many public health officials as a breakthrough in the effort to combat the effects of high-calorie, sugary drinks on the public's health. Similar proposals have been put forward in Los Angeles and Cambridge, Mass., even as the idea of a "war on soda" has become regular fare for late-night comedians.
Coffee shops and restaurants around the city had already begun editing menus, retraining employees and warning customers of the coming changes in the sorts of drinks they could and could not buy. Dunkin' Donuts, for instance, told its employees they could no longer add sugar to large coffees.
The measure was already broadly unpopular: In a New York Times poll conducted last August, 60 percent of city residents said it was a bad idea for the Bloomberg administration to pass the limits, although Bronx and Queens residents were more likely than Manhattan residents to oppose it.
In his ruling, Justice Tingling concurred with much of the beverage industry's legal arguments. He said the Board of Health, which is appointed by the mayor, had overreached in approving the plan, and wrote that the City Council was the only legislative body with the power to approve such a far-reaching initiative.
The administration, Justice Tingling wrote, had interpreted the board's powers broadly enough to "create an administrative Leviathan," capable of enacting any rules and "limited only by its own imagination."
The judge also criticized the rules themselves, noting they would apply only to certain sugared drinks — dairy-based beverages like milkshakes, for instance, would be exempt — and be enforced only in certain establishments, like restaurants and delis, but not others, like convenience stores and bodegas. The rules, the judge wrote, would create "uneven enforcement, even within a particular city block, much less the city as a whole."
Lawyers for the Bloomberg administration said on Monday that it remained confident the Board of Health — which has been the conduit through which the mayor has pushed through his boldest public health initiatives, including limits on trans fats in restaurants — had "the legal authority and responsibility" to address obesity in the city.
Mr. Bloomberg has some experience in prevailing over legal challenges to his public health initiatives, including his requirement that fast food menus include calorie counts.
But there was no immediate consensus on Monday on the likelihood of a reversal of Justice Tingling's ruling.
Ross Sandler, a professor at New York Law School, said city laws deemed "arbitrary and capricious" had frequently been reinstated upon appeal. But Ronald John Warfield, a civil and criminal lawyer who sued the Bloomberg administration over its cigarette-taxing policy, said he expected the appeal to fail.
"Their intention may be good," Mr. Warfield said of the city. "They went about this with an imperial hand."
The soft drink industry had viewed the fate of the city's rules as a global bellwether on government regulation of sugary drinks.
In court, the industry's lawyers, from the high-powered corporate firm Latham & Watkins, presented their argument in high dudgeon, calling the rules "ludicrous" and dreamed up by "scientists in the room, working with the mayor, creating a regulation here that is going to cost people a ton of money." The industry also suggested that small businesses would be unfairly hurt by the rules.
Lawyers for the administration offered a more subdued, highly technical rebuttal that only occasionally addressed the broader public health reasons for the plan. At one point, a city lawyer who had mumbled his words was asked by the court reporter to repeat his points, because she could not hear him.
On Monday, a spokesman for the American Beverage Association said that the court decision "provides a sigh of relief."
"With this ruling behind us, we look forward to collaborating with city leaders on solutions that will have a meaningful and lasting impact on the people of New York City," the spokesman, Christopher Gindlesperger, said.
It is unclear if the appeal of the case will be resolved before Mr. Bloomberg leaves office at the end of this year. His would-be successors are mixed in their views of the measure and may not share his zeal on the issue.
The mayor appears increasingly preoccupied with his legacy, and recently hired two public relations advisers — a former Times editor, Arthur Pincus, and a former television reporter, Andrew Kirtzman — to shape the public perception of the Bloomberg era.
Asked on Monday if he was concerned that a drawn-out legal battle over the soda limits could spill into the administration of a successor who does not favor them, Mr. Bloomberg, sounding a bit irked, muttered, "All of our time is running out," before saying, "I don't know who is going to be my successor."
The mayor added: "People are dying every day. This is not a joke. This is about real lives."

New Texas football coach Charlie Strong says he's excited to lead one of the premier programs in the country, calling the Longhorns job a dream.
In a statement released by the school formally announcing the hire Sunday, Strong called Texas a special program because of its history, tradition and pride.
Strong spent the previous four years at Louisville. His Cardinals teams went 23-3 the last two seasons. He replaces Mack Brown, who coached Texas for 16 years and won the 2005 national championship. The Longhorns have lost at least four games each of the last four seasons.
Strong says the decision to leave Louisville was difficult, but Texas was a job offer he couldn't pass up.
Strong was traveling to Austin on Sunday and will be introduced at a Monday news conference.

Topic Page: Rotifera
phylum of predominantly free-living, microscopic, aquatic or semiterrestrial pseudocoelomates. Each rotifer has a head bearing a crown of cilia, the corona, at the anterior end; most rotifers feed with the aid of currents generated by the coronal cilia. A posterior foot, often equipped with two or three toes, contains adhesive glands permitting temporary attachment to objects. Unique grinding jaws are found in the pharynx, and an esophagus, stomach, and intestine can be distinguished. The excretory system consists of ciliated cells, called flame cells, that move collected liquids into two coiled tubes called protonephridia; these tubes open into a contractile bladder. The reproductive system is simple, consisting in the female of ovary, yolk gland, and oviduct, and in the male of testis and sperm duct. The intestine, bladder, and reproductive ducts unite to form a cloaca.
Rotifers, of which there are about 1,500 known species, are widely distributed in freshwater and marine habitats; they also live in the soil, in mosses, and associated with lichens on rocks and trees. A few are parasitic. Most feed on bacteria, algal cells, small protozoans, or organic detritus. As a rule, only female rotifers are seen; in some species the males have never been observed. Diploid eggs develop parthenogenetically, i.e., without fertilization, to produce females. Under some conditions, haploid eggs are produced; these develop parthenogenetically into males or can be fertilized, developing into dormant female embryos with heavy shells (resting eggs). Many species can survive in a dry form for long periods of time, emerging from a dormant state and becoming active when moisture is available.

The Five Points of Calvinism
There are two mains camps of theology within Christianity in America today: Arminianism and Calvinism. Calvinism is a system of biblical interpretation taught by John Calvin. Calvin lived in France in the 1500's at the time of Martin Luther who sparked the Reformation.
The system of Calvinism adheres to a very high view of scripture and seeks to derive its theological formulations based solely on God's word. It focuses on God's sovereignty, stating that God is able and willing by virtue of his omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence, to do whatever He desires with His creation. It also maintains that within the Bible are the following teachings: That God, by His sovereign grace predestines people into salvation; that Jesus died only for those predestined; that God regenerates the individual where he is then able and wants to choose God; and that it is impossible for those who are redeemed to lose their salvation.
Arminianism, on the other hand, maintains that God predestined, but not in an absolute sense. Rather, He looked into the future to see who would pick him and then He chose them. Jesus died for all peoples' sins who have ever lived and ever will live, not just the Christians. Each person is the one who decides if he wants to be saved or not. And finally, it is possible to lose your salvation (some arminians believe you cannot lose your salvation).
Basically, Calvinism is known by an acronym: T.U.L.I.P.
These five categories do not comprise Calvinism in totality. They simply represent some of its main points.
Total Depravity:
Sin has affected all parts of man. The heart, emotions, will, mind, and body are all affected by sin. We are completely sinful. We are not as sinful as we could be, but we are completely affected by sin.
The doctrine of Total Depravity is derived from scriptures that reveal human character: Man's heart is evil (Mark 7:21-23) and sick Jer. 17:9). Man is a slave of sin (Rom. 6:20). He does not seek for God (Rom. 3:10-12). He cannot understand spiritual things (1 Cor. 2:14). He is at enmity with God (Eph. 2:15). And, is by nature a child of wrath (Eph. 2:3). The Calvinist asks the question, "In light of the scriptures that declare man's true nature as being utterly lost and incapable, how is it possible for anyone to choose or desire God?" The answer is, "He cannot. Therefore God must predestine."
Calvinism also maintains that because of our fallen nature we are born again not by our own will but God's will (John 1:12-13); God grants that we believe (Phil. 1:29); faith is the work of God (John 6:28-29); God appoints people to believe (Acts 13:48); and God predestines (Eph. 1:1-11; Rom. 8:29; 9:9-23).
Unconditional Election:
Limited Atonement:
Irresistible Grace:
Perseverance of the Saints:

The goals of your program should describe and discuss the potential benefits to the population/community being served. Your program will serve as a means to an end. As you develop your program it is essential that you keep your goals clearly in mind and stay focused on those goals as you continue your planning process.
A general statement of what you want to accomplish.
Goals are general non-measurable statements that describe desired results of your program. When developing your goals be certain that you list them in order of priority or importance. Be certain that your goals address the intent of the fund source to which you are submitting an application.
Do not over-commit. Program goals should be ambitious enough to produce some worthwhile benefits, but should be attainable enough to be manageable within the context of resources - available and projected.
The importance of setting realistic goals is not to be overestimated. The success of your program is ultimately judged on the attainment of the goals that you have established.

Are they off? Are they on? When it comes to Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, who can tell anymore?!
A week after the couple parted ways and a few days after the pair reportedly reunited in Los Angeles, Bieber and Gomez's reunion has already hit a rough patch.
Who should Justin Bieber date next? Vote now!On Friday, the young pair was spotted out to dinner at a Japanese restaurant Yamato in California, but only 10 minutes after they arrived, Gomez reportedly stormed out on the reconciliation date. "Selena drove off and Justin just say there for a few minutes," a source tells E! News . "I think he was waiting for her to calm down. He then drove to her house. When he got there, he started buzzing her gate. But she was obviously not letting him in."According to the source, the frustrated Biebs eventually got out of his car and began yelling "Selena" at her gate. Photos on TMZ show an angry Bieber outside a gated driveway.
Who should Selena Gomez date next? Vote now!The singer then drove off and posted a cryptic message on Twitter: "things arent always easy. there is alot of pressure. im figuring it all out. im trying. but i care, i notice, i still hear u. #Beliebers"Maybe his tweet for help worked, because E!

(1/2" Spacing) Poplar Slats + Poplar Filler Slats - 2" wide slats with 1/2" spacing 4. Siderails & Footboard (Explained)Nomad Furniture offers their beds with either a standard siderail and footboard configuration or a premium upgrade option. Both are explained below.3 1/4" Siderails & Footboard (Standard) All of our Nomad Furniture beds feature 3 1/4" thick siderails and footboard crosspiece. In this standard configuration you can see that the rails will sit at a higher height with the footboard crosspiece configured lower allowing for the center support rail to be supported at the correct height. 5 3/4" Siderails & Footboard (Premium Option)This new premium option for Nomad Furniture beds allows you to select thicker 5 3/4" siderails and footboard crosspiece. This premium configuration provides a clean uniform look around the bed and increases the weight bearing capability for the frame for individuals looking for additional strength and rigidity.5. Footboard Options (Explained)Nomad furniture beds are constructed with a simple footboard design that incorporates a single crosspiece at the footboard between the two footboard legs. This is designed to rest below the mattress so that no matter how tall the individual is you won't bump feet on anything at the foot of the bed. The manufacturer does offer the footboard in a couple of different configurations. Standard Footboard:Nomad furniture beds feature a standard low-profile footboard. Higher Footboard Option:Creates a matching higher footboard which incorporates the design aestetics of the headboard and makes a shorter version of it at the footboard. This will raise the height of the footboard above the mattress in most cases. 6. Optional "Y" Support Legs (Explained)Nomad Furniture beds are manufactured with a long center support beam that runs down the middle of the bed and is parallel with the two side rails. Slats rest flat across this center support beam and against the side rails of the bed on ledges that are built into the side rails of the bed. These beds are made from solid hardwood and require no additional center support. However, certain mattress manufacturers may require you to have center support legs installed on our bed in order to meet the warranty requirements of the mattress. In these case please select the optional "Y" support leg option to ensure that your bed will meet their warranty guidelines.7. Choose Delivery Time (Explained)Nomad Furniture platform beds are made to order in Farr West, UT USA. In addition to the regular lead time rush options are also available if you're needing your bed sooner. Production options explained below. Add 3-5 days FedEx/UPS transit time to the production times below for delivery. Excludes holidays. Standard Lead Time: Leaves plant in 4 weeks Rush - Leaves plant within 2 weeks ($49 fee) Double Rush - Leaves plant within 5 business days ($99 fee)

Art-Filled and Eco-Conscious Home
After receiving rave reviews as a showhouse, an elegant Atlanta residence is ready for its new role.
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 13
Ever wonder what happens to a showhouse when the tours are done? Typically, everything not bolted down—rugs, draperies, artwork, dishes—is carted away, and the house awaits an owner. The 2008 Atlanta Christmas House lingered on the market a few years (a victim of the recent real estate downturn), but when it did sell, things happened fast. The new owners asked Atlanta interior designer Bill Musso to totally furnish the home—from mattresses to upholstered pieces to pots and pans—for the family of four in less than 10 weeks. Plus, they asked that everything in the house be made of healthful materials, so there would be no off-gassing of toxic chemicals and no VOCs from fabrics, finishes, and household products.
"We pride ourselves on using green products, but we'd never done anything to this extent. And this was a very tight time frame," Musso says.
The couple and their children were moving from London to Atlanta for business. (He heads a large global corporation.) Unsure about how long they would live in Atlanta and not wanting to ship furniture and housewares back and forth overseas, they asked Musso to start from scratch, with the caveat that all the products be free of toxic chemicals. "The mother was very particular about making sure everything was eco-friendly. She didn't want her children sleeping on mattresses that were sprayed with fire-retardant materials," Musso says. "So all of the beds came from Duxiana, a Sweden-based company."
The health-conscious mother, who is a Cordon Bleu-trained chef, also enlisted Musso's help in outfitting the kitchen with nontoxic cookware and utensils, such as pans with ceramic nonstick coatings.
What the couple did ship from Europe were many objects from their museum-quality collections of Chinese tapestries, sculptures, new and old bronze pieces, and a set of red leather Louis Vuitton trunks traced to the early 1900s and Russian Czar Nicholas II and his wife, Alexandra.
"The couple travels extensively," Musso says, "and they have many different interests, especially in Asian textiles and pottery." As the wife says: "We fell in love with the aesthetic of Chinese art and also to a greater extent the desire to feel 'Zen' at home. We like mixing modern contemporary looks with antiques."
Using antiques is the ultimate in green—recycling in a beautiful way—and designing with the treasures was a thrill, Musso says. In keeping with the homeowners' desire to mix old and new, he incorporated furnishings from contemporary designers such as Ralph Lauren and Christian Liaigre.
"The homeowner loves bronze," says Musso, so the designer chose furnishings and sculptures by artist Robert Kuo, including armoires with hammered-bronze toad-skin-textured doors for the living room.
Rugs are wool and silk—natural fibers that were not treated with toxic chemicals. Draperies are linen and some upholstery fabrics were hand-loomed.
Low- or zero-VOC paints were applied throughout, and the couple waited two weeks after painting before allowing their children to sleep in their rooms to ensure any trace of toxins had dissipated.
While the undertaking was considerable, Musso and his staff, including lead project designer Lauren Dott, furnished the bedrooms, kitchen, and other "necessary rooms" in 10 weeks. In nine months, the project was largely complete. "It was a great experience for us," he says.
"We ask a lot more questions now—about how and where things are made. That was the lesson in it."

Showhouse Exterior
The symmetrical brick house with modest ornamentation is a blend of Georgian and Regency styles, says architect William Harrison, who designed the 2008 Christmas House in Atlanta. Harrison's firm, which is based in Atlanta and has offices in California, New York, Washington, D.C., and China, has participated in more than 30 showhouses across the United States. "It's always important that we make the house contextual with the community," Harrison says. "It's very much like having a custom client, maybe less emotional, but we still need to design a house that is sellable. In Atlanta, that usually means traditional."
The beds and linens are from Duxiana, a Sweden-based company that uses steel springs, natural latex from rubber trees, and cotton fibers. The handmade lamp is from Porta Romana, and the chair is covered in a berry-hued Schumacher fabric.

September's Virtual Tasting will take place tonight! The wine is Novelty Hill's Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006. As usual, I will be opening the bottle about 7pm and posting my comments and tweets (@wawinereport) along the way. Please join us in trying this wine and posting your notes.
For those of you in the Seattle area the winery, which is located in Woodinville, is sold out of the 2006 (see a list of Seattle-area retailers as well as on-line sellers of the 2006 here). However, today only, Novelty Hill will be extending a 20% discount on one bottle of the 2007 Cabernet to people who purchase at the winery. Just mention you are planning to participate in tonight's Virtual Tasting. As I mentioned in my original post, I will plan on tasting both the 2006 and 2007 as part of tonight's tasting so feel free to stop by the winery, pick up the 2007 and join in the fun.
7:15 Update: Okay folks. The bottles are open. Let the Virtual Tasting begin! We had a brief delay after I lost control of the robot requiring rebooting. As I mentioned earlier, I will be tasting both the 2006 and the 2007 wines. I picked up the 2007, which was just released a few weeks ago and should be making it on retailer shelves shortly, at the winery this afternoon. The drive to Woodinville reminded me what I love about the Northwest with a bald eagle soaring high overhead.
Both wines are using cork as a closure, both with vintage stamps. The 2006 has considerably more color on the cork (will get a picture up of this). I'm assuming this is largely due to the extra bottle aging but we'll see what the wines look like once I get them in the glass.
7:30 Update: Okay, I also popped and poured both of these wines. May end up throwing the 2007 into the decanter depending on how it's doing. I will focus on the 2006 for the moment. The wine is at 62 degrees. Some dusky spice along with pepper and cedar on the nose. The fruit is lying underneath this at the moment. My initial impression is to wonder what other varietals are blended in as they seem to be playing a fair bit on the nose. I'll give this a look later on.
7:45 Update: This is a round, rich wine with a lot of cherry flavors. Some light herbal undertones along with some resinous aromas. I agree with Paul's comment that there is a lot coming from the acid on this wine as opposed to the tannins. My first impression is that this is quite an enjoyable wine. I think it needs to open up a bit. I'm going to put it in a decanter and give the 2007 a try.
8:00 Update: Giving the 2007 a try. On the nose, a bit muted at the moment (no surprise given that it's a 2007). Chocolate along with spice (can't quite pick up what it is, a bit of anise perhaps?) and some pleasing herbal elements. Fairly acid driven on a taste that is very evenly balanced across the palate.
Comparing the 2007 to the 2006, I get a lot of what seems like seem like Cab Franc aromas on the 2006. Earthy, potting soil aromas. Not sure on the blend. The taste is evenly balanced with a slightly sharp uptick about 2/3 of the way through.
Overall, I find a lot of stylistic similarities in terms of nose and style on both wine.
8:15 Update: The 2007 has a nice, powdered chocolate element on the nose along with a bit more tannin structure. Smooth and even. The nose has lots of cherry, black pepper, and an under layer of anise.
The 2006 has some palate coating oak, in a pleasant way. The wine largely pulls it off. Starts with a very plush entry before pulling back a bit and getting a slightly sharp element that lingers on the palate.
8:30 Update: Some background details on the wines.
The 2006: 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc. I KNEW there was some Cab Franc in this wine :). 3,832 cases produced. 14.4% alcohol.
The 2007: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc; 1% Petit Verdot. 3,964 cases produced. 14.4% alcohol.
8:45 Update: Here is what the publications have to say. Nothing on the 2007 as it is just released. Only thing I see is in Wine Spectator on the 2006, nothing on Wine Enthusiast or Wine Advocate:
92 points. Dense and chewy, but with a nice lift of acidity and freshness as the finish rolls in, framing the cherry, blackberry, coffee and smoke flavors as they linger expressively. Best from 2011 through 2018. 3,888 cases made. –HS
I agree on the lift of acidity but otherwise don't get too much from the description.
From CellarTracker, 13 notes. Average of 88.5 points and median of 90. Check out what people have to say here.
9:00 Update: Notes from winemaker Michael Januik on each wine.
2006 Cabernet: Rich and expressive with ripe blackberry, currant and spicy black cherry aromas and flavors. Well-balanced, with plenty of dark fruit flavors lingering across a lengthy, expressive finish.
2007 Cabernet: A deep, concentrated wine with fresh blackberry, dark cherry and red currant. Expressive and balanced, with dark fruit flavors persisting across a long, generous finish.
See the full 2006 writeup from the winery here. See the full 2007 writeup here.
Both vintages list at $25. I bought the 2006 from Pete's for $21.50 and bought the 2007 from the winery for $20 (lists for $25 but includes the 20% discount for tonight's tasting).
My final thoughts. Both wines are very well made. I went back and forth as to which I liked more as they opened up.
I really enjoy the nose on the 2006. Gets more expressive as the wine moves up toward 67 as opposed to the 62 I originally had it at. A lot to swirl around and ponder over. Fun earthy elements. A good palate with the exception of the slight dip in the mid-palate. A good wine for $25; put it at $18-$20 and it's a steal. In my rating system I would put it as a "slash" wine between a + and *. So I would either list it as "+/*" or do as I usually do in such circumstances and score down. Given the amount of good things going on in this wine I would probably list it as +/* with a * a little too high and a + a little too low.
On the 2007, definitely more of a chocolate and anise component on the nose and taste than I get on the 2006. Otherwise a lot of the same things going on stylistically. I like the nose more on the 2006 but like the palate a bit more on the 2007. I think, given a bit more time in the bottle, the 2007 will be a bit better of a wine. I would score it as just painting the low edges of a * on my rating scale.
Thanks to everyone who participated. We'll do it again next month.
Final Update: Retrying these wines now a full three hours after they have been open and decanted.
On the 2006, chilled back to 62 degrees. A lot of toasted oak and spice aromas. Black pepper and earth are still there. Does seem to show a lot of Cab Franc influence strangely. The taste seems considerably more thin when the wine is cooler. It becomes more rich on the palate as it warms up. Tannins definitely pull back here on a more acid-driven, oak-textured wine.
More on the 2007 in the final final.
Final Final Update: Retrying the 2007 now. A lot of great stuff on the nose. I think the 2007 has a bit more upside, although the 2006 is tasting better right now with another year in the bottle. The 2007 carries more completely across the palate. I also get, as this wine opens up, a light egg component on the nose. Perhaps from egg fining? Overall, both are very enjoyable wines.
Thanks again to everyone who took part. If you have suggestions for next month's Virtual Tasting, send them along.

Paul Zitarelli Says:
Popped and poured (will revisit later):
Big fan of the nose; lots of sun-baked soil on top of black cherries, with barrel notes of toffee. Rich, dense, palate of caramel-dipped dark fruit. Generous, well-made, well-balanced wine. Surprised to see the structure come mostly from acid; not too much tannin here. Also, the palate isn't quite living up to the complexity of the nose right now. All told, I like this. More later...
Paul, I agree on the nose. I like it quite a bit as well. Definitely a fair amount of barrel aromas. Letting the wine warm up slightly before I give it a sip to coax a little more fruit out of the nose.
2006 - nose - Pepper! Almost pine-like if that makes any sense Light at times but good. Definitely some cherry stuff as well. Getting chocolate too as it warms up.
palate - a tad sharp on the mid-palate. Big initial palate.
2007 - the nose is a bit stemmy. I like it! Fruit is blackberry. Pleasant and good aromas. The taste is full on the mid-palate and finishes nice and even. I could use a bit bigger of a finish but overall I'm pretty excited about it!
LLI, I agree that there is a lot of pepper on the 2006. I think the pine like aromas are what I am describing as "resinous". Lots of cherry. I agree on the slightly sharp mid-palate. Thanks for the thoughts!
Lou, not getting the stemmy notes on the nose. Perhaps what I am picking up as more herbal?
2006- nose: plum and pepper and pine-dust. cherries on the nose became sour charry on the taste with lots of cooked raisin. the overall mouthfeel= thin and a little bit of a letdown.
2007: round ripe fruits on the nose, a pear(?)-like quality too. lots of anise and more pepper here too. in the taste, a stewed prune quality, more cherries, a full finish. more exciting and inviting than the 06.
Anon 2006. Agree on the pepper and pine nose. Mouthfeel I think actually gets a bit bigger as the wine opens up a bit.
Anon 2007. A pear like quality? Interesting. I'll check it out. Right now the two wines are duking it out for me. Who will be the winner?
Anon (just to be copy cat) 2006 - Still pepper-like on nose. It is actually coming on quite a bit with regards to the nose.
Palate - evenly balanced but more mellow. I think I might have been to hard on it the first time.
2007 - nose is stemmy, herbal, potato, patato. ;p Actually I might get a hint of olive right now. Black olives. Chocolate too. Still likeing it. Palate is big, smooth, pleasant. Liking it! This surely is no wedding wine!
Paul Zitarelli Says:
Back after three hours and enjoying another glass of this. Seems to have improved a bit with time. A bit more complexity on the palate, including some leafy notes. Nice wine. I paid $20.99 at QFC and would buy again at that price. Thanks, Sean; fun one this month!
WHOOO, Cab franc funk on first pour! Getting the cherry on the nose, with a little cola. slightly sharp from oak, guessing partial to full new oak for 12 months?
Also getting a little dried apricot on the nose with a layer of red licorice. So far not bad, not so sharp on the palette that it is offensive.
Paul, I agree that the 2006 has improved over the course of a few hours. Thanks for participating!
As with my last post, tasting the '06. This wine is a little light on my palette, though I tend to prefer wines with a little more to chew on. Espresso notes starting to appear as wine opens up. Not quite as sharp as when first opened, though that was only 20 minutes ago.
Alpine Yeti, I agree on the funk on first pour along with the cherry. In terms of oaking programs, the winery says:
Aged in both new and one-year-old barrels, predominately French oak for 18 months.
A bit opaque. Dried apricots? Interesting. I will retry it and see if I can tease it out. Just want to make sure on the reading of your comment, that is (my caps) "NOT so sharp on the palate that it is offensive" as opposed to "so sharp on the palate that it is offensive." Right?
Mr. Yeti - I have to advise you to take your time. This wine has been decanted for quite a time now, and given time it comes on STRONG. G5 BABY!
I know it's late, but try to be patient. In all honesty, don't tell anyone, but the 2007 will be even better in the long run. I'm impressed with Novelty Hill. Januik is going to need to knock my socks off. ;p
Alpine Yeti, I also thought this wine came off as a little light on the palate initially, especially at cooler temperatures. I recommend decanting it and letting it warm up to about 67 or so. At that point that palate becomes more full although it is more of an oak-driven, palate coating richness than a tannin driven richness.
G5 baby! I will try my best to make this last long enough to open up! May we all at least say a little toast with the VT in honor of J'imberly and little Owen.
Can't wait to let it open up to enjoy with my Yeti.
Dr. Yeti, I'm not so sure what G5 Baby means, as I'm am just a southern girl new to the northwest. ;p But I do want to let you know that if you're looking for CHEWY then you will need to travel to Januik and get the Novelty Hill Cab 07. Chewy it is! With a PPS pour in my glass no one would know, (please see SPS system ratings for more details) but with a decent pour you would love this bottle. Niiiicccceeee! Niiiiiccccceeee!
Not sure what is going on here. I think I'll just step back on this one.
NO PPS here!! thank goodness. I may have to try and find the 07 tomorrow and give it a swirl. BTW Lou, not to worry about not getting G5 baby, its not a northwest thing, just a LLI thing ;)
Wine not quite open yet, still slightly sharp. high alcohol noticeable.
Delayed post (figured better to take notes and wait until I was more agile for typing). Generally, I liked the nose very much, found the center palate a bit harsh, and thought it might open more with time. It didn't really open and smooth out as much as I wanted - perhaps more time or maybe even more time in the bottle? The nose did have that nice cab/vanilla/oak thing going that I like. I also had the opportunity to try it with the 07 which was surprisingly a bit smoother. I'm thinking long term (like in a couple of years), the 07 will be a better wine than the 06.

Wendy Wiestling Juodikis ~ Mother of the Bride
So pleased to have the Endless Summer Band to entertain at our celebration. I and so many of our friends just LOVE-LOVE-LOVE them!! Oh, I knew I would have a dance or two with my husband, but I had been so busy preparing in those months leading up to the wedding, that I thought I would enjoy the reception more if I just relaxed and took in the sights and the sounds of all of our guests having a good time. Work the room so to speak...well...once ESB took the stage...my feet took to the floor and that's where I stayed all night! I have never been so "in the moment" and had so much fun in all of my life! It was like nothing else in the world existed outside of that room. Not at all surprised that they've gotten this recognition. They are nothing less than FABULOUS!! Go see them if they're in your area or hire them for your event. You will be TRANSFORMED!! Sign me as...a very happy Mother of the Bride/ESB FANatic!! P.S. Bride and Groom responded at the end of the night..."It was the best night of our lives!" and our wedding guests were talking about how much fun they had for weeks afterward. All the credit goes to ESB!
Dr. Richard R. Fischer ~ Distinguished Professor of Music-Concordia University Chicago
What a fantastic wedding ceremony and reception! We had such a good time. The band (ESB) at the reception was the best live group I have ever experienced - and I have counseled the group Chicago! They could not have chosen better repertoire. They were great vocalists and instrumentalists and they would even change roles often. EVERYTHING was fantastic.
Lisa Gilligan ~ Mother of the Bride
I can't even begin to express how thrilled we were with ESB Saturday night!!! You were truly unbelievable and the best part about the wedding. People were (and still are) raving about the band. I greatly appreciate that you didn't take breaks, and I know how hot you must have been. I apologize for the heat and the lack of space that you all had. You all were so good that I couldn't get myself off the dance floor. Thank you for making the journey and for everything. You kept the place rocking, and kept the floor packed. Not many Mother's of the bride get to feel like they are at a concert for The Who on their daughters wedding day!
Sarah & Dan ~ Bride & Groom
Wow!!! You guys were amazing!!! The entire day was incredible and surpassed all our dreams, but ESB was absolutely one of the best highlights of it all! We have had so many guests tell us how great you were. And Dan, the groom, nearly stopped in his tracks at the beginning of our first dance as he was BLOWN AWAY by the music. Thank you for contributing to our perfect day! We will continue to recommend you and sing your praises for years to come.
Lauren Hammond ~ Bride
I've been to a ton of weddings-in NYC, Chicago, etc. You all are the best band I've ever heard! It was amazing. Thank you!
Steve Paloncy ~ Executive Director-Vermillion County Community Foundation
After 25 years of booking talent for events, I appreciate not only the talent they have but the professionalism they show. When it's time to start they are totally prepared and offer a seamless show. At the same time they are flexible enough to shift "on the fly" to adjust to the audience and the conditions. I don't know how they do it, but I'm glad they do. They make my life easier.

text: With her beautiful green eyes, long blonde locks, and toned curves, Gigi Allens is the living embodiment of the beach babe fantasy. Be careful though, because there's definitely more than meets the eye with this busty Aussie slut! Taking her name from infamous punk rocker GG Allin, Gigi got her start working as a dominatrix in a dungeon, so this is one buxom beauty that knows just how to make men squeal! Eventually deciding she wanted to branch out from just doing femdom and magazine shoots, Gigi finally made the hardcore plunge, starring in her first BG scene in 2013. A sexual person from an early age, Gigi says she can't relax at night unless she rubs one out first, and it's that natural sexuality that made her such a wonderful fit for porn. Gigi took to fucking on film like a fish to water, and now this bisexual babe is well on her way to becoming a true international erotic sensation!
