At first, it sounded like a gag. The California Republican Party was planning to scale back its presence in Sacramento.
The party of Warren, Reagan, Wilson and, yes, Schwarzenegger in financial trouble?
The fact is that the state Republican Party organization is on shaky legs. It has laid off staff and no longer has much money to assist candidates for offices. Meanwhile, the state Democrats have a war chest in excess of $13 million, and are ready to dole out dough to their candidates.
The thought of California becoming a one party state surely must bring glee to Democrats and a lot of head scratching to Independents, the fastest growing segment of the state.
But what does this really mean?
The state Republican Party may be in trouble, but Republican candidates aren't.
The new landscape really means that now, more than ever, Republican candidates will be dependent upon their individual fund raising skills and the benevolent assistance of independent expenditure groups like Super PACs.
On the surface, this may not sound like much of a change. But it's actually a significant shift.
When candidates raise funds, they and their financial supporters must report the contributions to the Secretary of State.
Those reports are available to the public, should anyone care to see them. Sometimes, the media poke around to see who has contributed to who, and interesting stories are produced for viewers and readers.Independent expenditures don't have the same reporting requirements.
But independent expenditure organizations are not obligated to report who contributes what. Rather, they can simply spend the money without directly acknowledging sources.
The 2010 Citizens United case makes it even easier. Technically, these contributions are supposed to be separate from the candidates and focus on issues or the problems with opponents. But the money still impacts campaigns.
Republican candidates this year also will get support from party leaders, such as Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who have held fund-raisers to support the state's Republican candidates.
But make no mistake about it. The new conduit for operates in a veil of secrecy and unaccountability.
And the less we know about who gives what to whom, the less we'll know about the candidate and his or her supporters.
It's a lack of knowledge that could easily lead to corruption and deceit.

Hans Vermandele (d. 1569)
Hans (Jan) Vermandele (in Martyrs' Mirror called Hans van Mandel), an Anabaptist martyr, burned at the stake at Antwerp, Belgium, 19 March 1569. He had been arrested with a number of other members of the Antwerp congregation, when a meeting was held in the house of Jan Poote. He was 25 years of age and a weaver, originally from Kortrijk in Flanders. He lived at Dambrugge near Antwerp and was married to Betken, whom he had married in a meeting of the congregation outside of the city. He had been baptized upon his faith in Antwerp in 1566. Even while cruelly tortured he refused to name the person who had baptized him and the place where the baptism took place.

One of the best parts about revisiting recipes from previous years is seeing how little changes can make a big difference. Take, for example, this Spicy Hunan Beef with Cumin dish. The version from June 2010 involved fresh red chilis with crushed red pepper flakes. Over the weekend, I tweaked the recipe with dried red chilis with chili oil and a bit of chili sauce. The result was an even better dish, with a hint of smokiness from the dried red chilis and chili oil that the first version didn't have. It'll be my go-to version from now on.
When I moved into my new apartment a few months ago, the first thing I did was take inventory of the cupboards. (The previous tenants had left a decent supply of spices, oils, and condiments.) The second thing I did, even though it was almost 10pm by the time I was done unpacking, was march over the Trader Joe's and buy ground cumin. I had not planned on cooking that night. It just made me sleep better, knowing my kitchen was no longer egregiously understocked.
Other than sea salt, cumin is the spice that I cannot with without. If I were only allowed two spices on a deserted island (with an otherwise fully-stocked kitchen), and had to choose between cumin and a pepper grinder, the former might win out. Just a whiff of toasted cumin seeds brings back a flood of memories of the best foods I have ever eaten: melty lamb shoulder from a Yemeni restaurant in Brooklyn, late night beef kebabs from a street vendor in Beijing, or pilau from an Afghani restaurant near Boston.
On this blog already I have already made a good number of salads and other vegetarian dishes with cumin, but here's one for red meat eaters. Cumin is normally used in western Chinese cooking, such as that from Xi'an or the Xinjiang province, but periodically shows up in Hunan and Sichuan cooking as well.
Hunan's version of stir-fried beef with cumin combines cumin with the fresh and dried chilis the province is known for. My version is pretty spicy, but manageable (maybe 2 out of 3 chili pepper rating.) Buy the tenderest beef you can find and slice it very thin, for quick stir-frying. (Throwing it in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes before preparation firms it up to make slicing easier.) And feel free to add more fresh and dried chilis if you can withstand it.
Spicy Hunan Beef with Cumin
Serves 4
- 1 pound flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain (about 1/4-inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoons finely chopped ginger
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
- 6 to 8 dried red chilis
- 2 scallions, green parts thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
- 1 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
- 2 teaspoons chili oil
- 1 teaspoon chili sauce
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Marinate the beef: In a large bowl, combine the marinade ingredients. Add the beef and toss well to coat. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the sauce.
- Heat the peanut or vegetable oil in a wok or pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef and spread it out over the bottom of the wok. Let it sear untouched for 1 minute. Stir-fry for another 1 minute. When the beef is still a little pink in the middle, add the ginger, garlic, and dried red chilis. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant).
- Add the sauce and stir to coat. Continue cooking just until the beef is no longer pink, about another 1 minute. Remove from the heat, garnish with scallions, and serve.

Post subject: Score of 54 with 47 in Sec. III - worth applying?
G'day. I sat this last year and I got 54 overall, with section scores of 55, 66 and 47. Is it even worth applying with that score of <50 in Sec. III? Most, if not all, schools have a requirement of a minimum of 50 in all sections, or in sections I and III. Is it even worth applying with this requirement not being met?
I have a decent GPA of about 5.9 but this won't be enough for me to be considered for special entry at Flinders (6 or greater is needed for that). What about if I apply for a BMP or MRBS places? I am looking at applying to Flinders and Deakin.... Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hello there - yes it is/was definitely worth applying - if you're not in it you won't know. From last year's applicants there seem to be quite a few across the different schools who got in with sccores under 60 - ranging from 51 upwards. So, I'd be giving it a shot.

NO PLACES ARE EASY TO GET. I know PhD's with BMPs.... hardly slackers. I know people with 65 GAMSATs with BMPs....
and if your GAMSAT is low, then start studying and get your marks up.
The days of sliding into a Med place on the back of your stunning life experiences are over.
Applications are up across the board, and there are heaps of kids who are essentially studying "pre-med" degrees to get huge GPAs and great skills for Medicine.
There are also loads of us older people with great life experiences etc that are taking the move across into med.
Don't give up hope. Apply by all means. BUT for goodness sake, keep studying, and try and make yourself MORE attractive.
If anyone suggests that getting into Med is ever EASY, then I suggest you take a good hard look at the person offering the advice, and make a good judgement about what their advice is worth.

Tradition Elegant
Pure elegance
The laminate floors in this collection bring glamour and refinement to any interior. This charismatic collection is carried out with a fine micro v-groove on all sides of the laminate planks. A modern and elegant floor – without being overwhelming.
Balterio® laminate flooring offers the best value for money in a wide range of colours and styles. Balterio® takes pride in the styling and durability of its floors and in its commitment to honour strong and reliable warranties. Our flooring meets strict production standards (EN 13329) and is covered by residential and commercial warranties. When it comes to your home, business or family, only the best is good enough.
The legal warranties in the countries of purchase apply without restrictions to the Balterio® products specified below. In addition, in all countries where Balterio® laminate flooring is sold through (approved) distributors, Balterio® provides a commercial warranty as stipulated in the current conditions. If the packaging with the warranty conditions has been lost, you can either consult the warranty conditions on the Balterio® website (www.balterio.com), or obtain them directly from the Balterio® department of Spanolux nv (Ooigemstraat 3, 8710 Wielsbeke, Belgium) (hereinafter referred to as "Balterio®"), or from the distributor and/or the installer of your Balterio® laminate floor.
Before installing the Balterio® floor panels and accessories, these must be thoroughly checked for visible defects under the best lighting conditions. In any case the customer must refrain from installing visibly defective products. Any such defects must be reported to the Balterio® distributor and/or installer or in the ultimate case, to Spanolux at the latest 8 calendar days after purchase. The defective products will be replaced. Any complaints made after this period shall not qualify for the warranty.
In the event of material or production defects in the Balterio® products, Balterio® will replace the deficient products in accordance with the present warranty conditions. This is limited to the replacement of the defective Balterio® product and excludes compensation for any other damage or costs incurred or to be incurred such as, but not restricted to, placement costs and removal expenses.
Please download our complete documentation to know more about duration of warranty.
For the warranty to apply, the Balterio® laminated floors must be placed indoors in rooms suitable for laminate flooring. Spaces suitable for Balterio® laminated floors are specified on the packaging and on the Balterio® website (www.balterio.com). The laying of Balterio® laminated floors covered by the warranty in spaces other than mentioned on the packaging is possible only after prior explicit permission in writing from Balterio®. The laminate floors are not suitable for: damp and/or humid spaces, including but not restricted to bathrooms and sauna rooms. Rooms with an immediate access to the street need a transition between the street and the room where the laminate is installed.
1. Wear resistance: Balterio® guarantees that with normal use the laminate surface will stay wear-resistant, including delamination or reduced resistance of the wearing surface. However, in the event of products with V-groove, the reduced resistance of the V-groove is not included in the warranty. In addition, a change to the gloss level does not apply as wear of the laminate surface. Laminate is fade resistant, not 100% fade proof. It is generally accepted that all gloss finishes (i.e. paint, glass, furniture or car surfaces,…) are susceptible to superficial fading/gloss variation. This is not considered as a product fault. 2. Stain resistance: Balterio® laminated floor surfaces are resistant to stains such as from red wine, ketchup, etc.
Any damage to the product resulting from a defect that was not inherently present at the time of purchase falls outside the scope of this warranty. This includes damage caused by: 1. inadequate placement, i.e. placement not according to the Balterio laying instructions (as specified on www.balterio.com) and/or without making use of the approved Balterio® accessories such as the Balterio subfloors (ComfortSound Base, ComfortSound Plus and ComfortSound Pro), skirting and profiles in the Balterio® designs/colours (True Matching® colours). A receipt must be presented as proof that the Balterio® accessories were used with the installation of the laminate floor. The Balterio® accessories can easily be recognised by the Balterio® logo on the package. They are also shown in the latest version of the Balterio® catalogue or on the Balterio® website (www.balterio.com). The Balterio® skirting and profiles have "Balterio True Matching Made in E.C." printed on the rear. The Balterio® subfloors have the Balterio® logo imprint and have the 1 cm² squares printed on them. 2. Non-compliance with the instructions for cleaning and maintenance as described on the Balterio® website. 3. Accidents or inappropriate and inadequate usage. 4. Abnormal wear such as may be caused by spiked shoes, inadequate protection from furniture, grit, sand and other hard materials. Damage caused by sand, dirt or any other abrasive material must be prevented by placing a suitable floor mat at all entrance doors. To determine whether the wear is abnormal, relevant ambient factors, the duration and the intensity of use of the product are taken into account. 5. Water damage caused by ice makers, refrigerators, washbasins, dishwashers, piping or ducts, natural disasters, excessive moisture in concrete slabs, hydrostatic pressure, etc. If water and/or moisture is present on the floor and/or near the skirting, this must be removed immediately. 6. Incorrect removal or replacement of panels. 7. Damage caused by vacuum cleaner frames or by the hard or metal wheels of office chairs or other furniture. With laminate floors, furniture legs should always be fitted with suitable protective material. Chairs, easy chairs/settees or furniture on wheels must be fitted with soft wheels or must be placed on specially adapted protective carpet or plates. 8. Damage caused by corrosive or abrasive substances such as pet urine.
Please keep your receipt. If the Balterio® laminate floor is not installed by the user, but by a floor layer/installer, the latter should provide the user with a copy of the installation and maintenance instructions and the warranty conditions. For warranty-related questions we advise you to contact the Balterio® laminate distributor where you purchased your laminate floor. If your Balterio® laminate distributor cannot provide satisfactory answers to your questions or if you require additional information, please contact: Spanolux NV division Balterio – Consumer Care Service – Ooigemstraat 3 - 8710 Wielsbeke – Belgium. The Balterio® warranty conditions are without prejudice to the legally applicable warranties on Balterio® products. (email@example.com) Balterio® reserves the right to inspect the complaint and claim concerning its product on site, installed or otherwise, and must be given the opportunity to do so. Without prior approval of Spanolux NV division Balterio – Consumer Care Service no repairs or replacements may be made to a Balterio® brand laminate floor for which a warranty claim has been made.

Winsted's Whiting Mills' shop, The Quilted Ewe, joins artisans for opening
WINSTED >> While Whiting Mills filled its studios with resident and guest artists, at least one new business hopes to attract Winsted's crafters.
The Quilted Ewe held its grand opening during the Open Studios at Whiting Mills this weekend, and owner Mary Watt noted that business has been brisk so far. Part of that business comes from the Quilted Ewe's unique position in the northwest corner.
"There's no fabric in Winsted," Watt said, "so I hope I'll be able to fill a need."
The Quilted Ewe offers quilting, sewing, knitting and pinning supplies and classes, as well as needle and wet felting. Watt invited several of her friends to offer spinning demonstrations during the Open Studios weekend, lining their suite's walls with fabric, yarn and other supplies which would otherwise be hard to find locally.
"You have to drive 40 minutes to get fabric," said Watt.
Lynn Tanguay, who was holding spinning demonstrations for the Quilted Ewe, agreed with Watt's assessment.
"The people that live in this area have said 'Thank God. Finally.'," Tanguay said.
Theresa Cannavo, who owns an upholstery business in Whiting Mills, concurred with the Quilted Ewe's assessment, remarking that "you have to go to Waterbury or Springfield" for fabric. Cannavo said that her business should complement the Quilted Ewe, adding that "it's going to be a lovely relationship."
And the Quilted Ewe's supporters agreed.
"The whole mill has a warm and friendly atmosphere," remarked Tanguay.
Aside from the Quilted Ewe, the Open Studios saw a dramatic uptick in business on Sunday.
Pam Banks, who, like Cannavo, serves on the Redevelopment Agency, credited a recently televised segment on WFSB's Better Connecticut for the increased business.
Anyone who missed out on Open Studios will get the chance to visit Whiting Mills every weekend throughout the holiday season.
"There's a lot more foot traffic than in June," said Banks, who was in the showroom. "I think all the artists are very happy."

Life insurance can play an important role in helping you meet your estate and financial planning goals. For an overview of the basic types of life insurance available to you, please choose from the links below:
Both universal and whole life insurance can meet long-term needs by taking advantage of allowances by the government for cash accumulation on a tax-exempt basis.
Basically, you pay more than the actual cost for the coverage, and the excess money is invested within the structure of the plan. What's more, that money is not taxed annually as it grows.
The design and function of the two products is quite different as they appeal to individuals with different risk profiles, personalities and investment styles. Their purpose, however, is the same: to maximize the value of your estate.
Not only can tax-exempt life insurance cover your estate needs, it can be a significant asset within your overall portfolio.
For additional information on insurance solutions, please contact a life-licensed advisor. Or, ask an advisor to contact you.

First, remove MDM completely:
Next, remove the pieces of Plymouth that can be removed:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get purge mdm mint-mdm-themes
sudo rm -fr /usr/share/mdm
Finally, configure GRUB:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get purge plymouth-label plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text
You'll want to remove both "quiet" and "splash" from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. Optionally you can uncomment GRUB_GFXMODE (remove the # in front of it) and change the video resolution to the one your main display uses, like 1280x1024 for example. This will make your GRUB and console be displayed in the higher resolution. Once you have made the changes you want, save & exit (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X) and then run:
Code: Select all
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
That's all there is to it. Upon reboot you will log in on the console with your username and password. If you want to start your graphical desktop, you run the command "startx".
Code: Select all

One final trick, if you want to preserve the text output during booting you need to make one change in /etc/init/tty1.conf:
On the line that says "exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1" insert the parameter "--noclear" so it becomes "exec /sbin/getty --noclear -8 38400 tty1". Now the text output during booting won't be cleared from the screen when you are asked to log in.
Code: Select all

|Head Coach: Mid-Distance
|Previous College:
|University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, '86
Russ De Lap is in his 10th season as head track & field coach at Concordia University Wisconsin in the 2019-20 campaign. DeLap coaches both the men's and women's teams, in addition to his duties as head men's and women's cross country coach.
In 2012 De Lap coached the men's team to a Northern Athletics Conference Indoor Championship, as the Falcons compiled 126 points to earn the championship. They continued strong in the outdoor season as they earned a share of the league title with Benedictine University, each team scoring 135 points.
The women also had a strong season under De Lap in 2012 as they placed second at the NAC Indoor Championships, finishing just 2.5 points behind meet champion, Concordia University Chicago.
The Falcons have had several national qualifiers under De Lap, including most recently Samual Spranger in 2018 (400). Gavin Falotico (Javelin) was an All-American in 2017, while Nicole Larson (Pole Vault) posted All-American honors during both the indoor and outdoor seasons in 2016. Other national qualifiers under De Lap include Alex Pawlak (110 and 400-meter hurdles) in 2012, Tyler White (triple jump) in 2016, and Ariel Kinlow (60-meter dash) in 2016.
In addition to his long list of accolades as a coach, De Lap is an accomplished runner who continues to set records on a national level. In December 2016, De Lap set five American records at the Desert Solstice event. He holds records for the Male 60-64 age division in 20K, 25K, 30K, Two Hour, and 20-mile. His running history also includes a 2013 100-mile National Champion (55-59), multiple Marathon championships. De Lap then set five American records in the 60-64 Division in December of 2018, setting new records in the 20K, 25K, 30K, Two Hour, and 20-Mile.
As a runner, De Lap has logged over 150,000 miles and competes in races from distances ranging from one mile to 100 miles. He has captured multiple medals, including a silver in the 100K National Championships in 2007 and a bronze at the 2012 USA Masters Indoor Track & Field National Championships.
The Falcons have regularly performed in the top three of the NACC under De Lap's guidance. The women's team has posted runner-up finishes at five-straight NACC Indoor Championships, as well as three of the past five Outdoor Championships. The men's team has regularly finished in the top three as well, finishing third at both Championships in 2018.
De Lap was named the NACC Coach of the Meet on the Women's side at the NACC Outdoor Championships in 2016. He helped guide the Falcons women's team to runner-up finishes at both the Indoor and Outdoor Championships, while also coaching three women to the national meet during the indoor season. Of those, Nicole Larson was an All-American, reaching the feat during both the indoor and outdoor seasons.
In addition to the national qualifiers, De Lap helped coach a pair of Athletes of the Meet during NACC competition in 2016. During the indoor season, it was senior Karli Tatum who was named Field Athlete of the Meet after a pair of first-place finishes. Then, during the outdoor season, Nora Imperl was named Track Athlete of the Meet for the Falcons.
In 2016 De Lap helped coach the Men to third-place finishes at both the NACC Indoor and Outdoor Championships. The Falcons have never finished outside of the top four in the conference under De Lap's direction, and the success continued in 2016. In addition, the Falcons had an athlete qualify for the NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships under De Laps guidance. Tyler White reached the meet in the triple jump, becoming the first male athlete since 2012 to reach a national meet for the Falcons.
The Falcons continued their ability to compete near the top of the conference in 2015, finishing in the top four of the NACC in both men's and women's during both the indoor and outdoor seasons. The Falcons women's team finished in second place in both the NACC Indoor and Outdoor Championships.
DeLap also was the coach of Tyler White, who was the Indoor Co-Field Athlete of the Meet of the Indoor Championships this season. White won a pair of events, as CUW had four champions at the Indoor Meet. The Falcons also broke several school records once again in 2015.
The 2014 campaign saw the Men's Track & Field squad place third at the NACC Indoor Championships. De Lap helped coach distance runner Martin Hinze to Runner of the Meet honors. The Falcons finished fourth at the Outdoor Championships.
The 2013 season saw the CUW Men finish fourth at both the NAC Indoor and Outdoor Championships. DeLap helped guide freshman Tyler White to Field Athlete and Freshman of the Meet at the NAC Indoor Championships. The Women finished fifth at both championships in 2013.
In his first season as the head coach of the track & field programs, De Lap guided the CUW women to an outdoor conference title. The Falcons amassed 186 points at the conference meet, which followed up a second-place finish during the indoor event.
De Lap is a 1986 graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a Bachelor's of Science Degree in physical education and Internship in athletic training. He is also a 1998 graduate of Concordia University Wisconsin with a Master's Degree in business administration in health care.
De Lap is NATA Board Certified and a State Licensed Athletic Trainer, along with having a NSCA Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist. He also is a USATF Level 2 Certified Coach with an Endurance Specialization.

For many people, mutual funds are the most convenient way to invest in the market. To help you decide whether mutual funds are right for you, the following are answers to some frequently asked questions:
Mutual funds are a collection of stocks, bonds and other securities that are owned by a group of investors and overseen by experienced fund managers. You can own a part of these funds by buying units and becoming a unitholder. The fund managers invest the money in a variety of opportunities with the expectation of increasing the fund's value.
Mutual funds offers you several advantages, namely:
Mutual funds come in a variety of types, each with its own objectives, risks and rewards. The money raised from issuing new units is invested according to the fund's policies and objectives. For example, a fund whose objective is to earn current income might hold bonds or mortgages.
The term open-end and closed-end refers to whether or not a mutual fund issues an unlimited or limited number of units.
Buying units or shares of a mutual fund is similar to buying shares of
a company. Essentially, each unit you own is a portion of the combined
investments owned by the fund. Each unit has a specific value that varies
from day to day depending on the value of the investments in the fund. The
term used to define this value is Net Asset Value Per Share (NAVPS) and the
formula used to calculate the NAVPS of the mutual fund is:
NAVPS = total market value of assets less liabilities
total number of shares (units)
Yes. There are varying degrees of risks depending on the funds you select. Unlike savings accounts and Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs), mutual funds are not insured or guaranteed. Although there are several safeguards in place to protect the mutual fund investor, investors must keep in mind that mutual funds differ from other types of investments and should be considered long-term investments.
Our Investment Advisors are here to help recommend the solutions that are best for you. To learn more, please contact an advisor or ask an advisor to contact you.

I could be wrong but I don't think there was a single transfer between premier clubs which involved a regular first team player. Assuming I'm right this might be the result of all the money clubs are now getting from TV deals - at least £80M per year. The smaller clubs are no longer tempted by higher than value offers.This may be a sign of things to come in the summer too. We may be better off financially than before but it's not going to be easy to get other teams' players unless they cause trouble or are out of contract soon.We should be OK with competing for the top teams' players who aren't getting enough games. That is if we're prepared to pay their wages.

Specialty necktie business launched by Westport retail exec
The trend of wearing neckties, once as ubiquitous as fedoras and cufflinks, has fallen by the wayside as casual looks have become more prevalent in menswear.
However, the necktie can still turn heads, according to the experience of Jonas Shapiro, chief operating officer of Duets, a Westport-based tie company.
Recently, Shapiro wore one of Duets' ties with its signature design -- two ties in complementary colors and patterns worn on top of each other -- to a formal event in Darien and was "surrounded by a bunch of lawyers asking where they could get the tie."
"No one's ever done it before," Shapiro said of company's double-tie designs. "I think that's one of the things that's helped us get in the door. We're very excited, the business has taken off a little faster than we'd hoped for."
Duets launched as an online retailer in October, based on an idea created nearly 30 years ago by Irving Botwinick, a tie aficionado. Shapiro met Botwinick over a year ago and decided to work with him to bring the idea to market. Though the products are available exclusively online at the moment, Shapiro said the company is talking to a number of retailers who might be interested in carrying Duets styles in their stores.
Starting online, as Duets has done, is becoming a more appealing way to start a business, said David Cadden, professor of entrepreneurship and strategy at Quinnipiac University.
"Obviously, it's a lot less expensive to start with an online operation," Cadden said. "It requires some sophistication to make your site accessible and some people get very clever with social media. I think more businesses are going to start online."
At the moment, the company is run by Botwinick, Shapiro, and Botwinick's son, Andy. Shapiro is also a manager member at Westport's Jonas Shapiro Associates, a firm focusing on helping retailers sell their products through e-commerce. With a background in retail fashion, working in men's and women's apparel at Saks Fifth Avenue and Polo Ralph Lauren, Shapiro found that Duets catered to both his areas of expertise.
Duets' ties are made of silk, using both domestic and imported fabrics and manufactured in Queens, N.Y. by the same company that produces ties for Brooks Brothers, Shapiro said.
Though men's business attire may have become more relaxed, Shapiro noted that a younger demographic of men, between ages 16 and 30, are becoming interested in ties once again, perhaps inspired by the sartorially suave appearances of celebrities like singers Justin Timberlake and Jay Z -- who, incidentally, recorded a song called "Suit & Tie."
"I think everything is cyclical, especially in fashion," Shapiro said. "You're seeing celebrities dressed up like the 1940s and 1950s with the skinny tie. You're seeing lots of kids wearing a white shirt, jacket, tie, colored jeans and a fedora. From what I can see, we're probably going to want to get dressed up again."

Just checked out Ubuntu 11.04 (64bit) using an USB stick-booted live image on Amilo Sa 3650. I was happy to encounter that most functionality works out-of-the-box as stated in the article.
One thing, however, that does not seem to work is bluetooth! I can turn on bluetooth and
"sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth status"
tells me
"bluetooth is running".
But when I open "Bluetooth Preferences" there's still this huge "Turn On Bluetooth" button which I can click but nothing seems to change…
Anybody got any experience with bluetooth on Amilo Sa 3650 with Ubuntu 11.04?
Any pointers would be highly appreciated :)

For Parents and Families of Pediatric Patients
The diagnosis of diabetes stirs up a bundle of emotions: shock, fear, sadness, anger, confusion and uncertainty. It is an extremely stressful time for a family. You have a great deal to learn right away and many questions. Yet you have to also try to stay calm and focused for the sake of your child.
You Are Not Alone
You don't have to do this alone. It is very important that you work with a healthcare team that is knowledgeable about pediatric diabetes and can provide the support that you, your child or teen, and the rest of your family need.
It may take time, but you and your family will adjust. The more you all learn about diabetes, the more confidence you'll gain. You'll settle into a routine. And diabetes will just be one aspect of life and not the center of family interactions.
Joslin Pediatric Health Services can provide information and resources—in addition to health services and support groups—that can help with this adjustment.
To make an appointment, call 617-732-2603.
How to Receive Information from Joslin via E-Mail
Every season the Josln team publishes a newsletter full of items and tips of interest to kids with diabetes and their families. We also send out research news and event announcements.

It's 2012, and motorists who nursed their old cars through the recession are back in the market for a new vehicle.
I drive a big black 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis, and even if I wanted a new 4,100 pound, full-size, rear-wheel drive behemoth I'd be hard pressed to find one. Ford phased out the Mercury brand in 2010 and 2011 was the last year for the sibling Ford Crown Victoria, a favorite of police forces and taxi companies despite its 1960s-like mileage around 18 mpg in combined city-highway driving.
The 4.6-liter V-8 was smooth and powerful, but I won't miss the mushy steering and floating in turns. On the highway though, driving the Merc was like taking a pleasure cruise -- as long as it was pointed in a straight line the 17 1/2-foot-long Merc smoothed every bump, expansion joint and most potholes.
This was a real American flying carpet, not a throw rug, but the day of the body-on-frame near gas-guzzler is over, and that also includes once popular Cadillacs, Lincolns and Buicks.
My "greatest generation" father-in-law owned three or four Grand Marquis before he died at 87. The last one I inherited with golf clubs in the trunk.
TrueCar.com compiled a list of the Top 10 cars bought by people more than 65 years of age in the past two years and the only surprise was Hyundai.
The Lincoln Town car, still popular with limousine and livery companies, was No. 1, with 90 percent of the Town Cars sold to seniors. The Buick Lucerne was second, with 87 percent bought by seniors; three Cadillacs -- the DTS, CTS an STS -- with 85 percent, 74 percent and 71 percent, respectively, sold to seniors, were third, four and fifth; the upmarket Hyundai Azera was No. 6, with 25 percent of sales to seniors; the Chevrolet Impala seventh, at 51 percent; the Buick LaCrosse eighth, 59 percent; the Lincoln MKZ No. 9 with 54 percent purchased by seniors and the Toyota Avalon was 10th, with 54 percent of sales of the large Toyota to seniors.
Of those 10 models, the Lucerne and Cadillac DTS and STS already are history, with the last ones produced last year.
But a vehicle doesn't have to be a geezer magnet to meet the same fate, Honda ditched its youth-oriented Element crossover and Mazda dropped the fun RX-8 rotary engine sports car. Without sales to older buyers five other cars on the automotive "bucket list" also would have been retired.
Seniors in good health, with good eyesight and good driving records are expected to help boost U.S. auto sales to nearly 14 million units this year after the industry sold nearly 12.8 million vehicles in 2011, the best sales year since 2008.
General Motors, Ford and Chrysler each posted higher sales last year, with Chrysler reporting a 26.2 percent increase with sales of 1,085,211 vehicles. GM sales were up 13.2 percent over 2010 with sales of 2,211,091 and Ford had an 11 percent gain, selling nearly 2 million vehicles.
Automakers sold more than 1.2 million cars and trucks in December alone, up 24.4 percent from November, with improved domestic cars making inroads and grabbing sales from Japanese manufacturers, whose production was slowed by last year's earthquake and tsunami in Japan and months of flooding in Thailand where factories make key parts and electronics components.
Automotive consulting firm R.L. Polk projects vehicle sales will jump 6.7 percent worldwide this year to 77.7 million.
"More affluent buyers are returning to the market for new vehicles, after three years of spending reductions," said Anthony Pratt, R. L. Polk director of forecasting for the Americas, in a report.
Auto Show time
Lincoln is expected to unveil a concept for its flagship MKZ sedan at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit next week, presenting a roomy future luxury model that may have major appeal to older drivers.
Lincolns have been consistently rated among the most reliable new vehicles but Ford's styling has been a sore point for some buyers as competing luxury and near-luxury vehicles are looking sleeker and cooler.
"This is the biggest statement Lincoln has ever made at an auto show," Max Wolff, director of design for Lincoln, said in a statement as Lincoln is more than doubling its floor display area as it seeks to relaunch the brand. "Our NAIAS (Detroit Auto Show) display represents more than a vehicle debut," said Wolff. "It represents the reinvention of Lincoln."
Ford will show an all-new 2013 midsize Fusion, refreshing of one of its best selling cars. Dodge revives and updates the commuter-friendly Dart, with the new version of the compact expected to get 40 mpg on the highway, and Chevy shows the Malibu Eco hybrid, which is expected to get 37 mpg highway, The Detroit News said.
Ford says its 2012 Focus Electric recharges faster than the U.S.-built, all-electric Nissan Leaf, which debuted last year.
The 2012 North American International Auto Show runs from Jan. 14-22 at Cobo Center in Detroit.
Oil changes
One of the things I've done religiously to prolong the life of the big Merc is change the oil every 3,000 miles, but California officials indicate I may have been wasting money.
Officials at the state Department of Resources, Recycling and Recovery point out that almost no automaker requires oil changes every 3,000 miles, and they say such unwarranted service probably wastes 10 million of gallons of oil a year in California alone.
While an oil change is a cheap way to buy some peace of mind about possible damage from a possibly dirty engine, California officials say modern oils developed for high-tech engines typically can go 7,500 to 10,000 miles between oil changes.
The days of hot pistons slapping the cylinders in a cast-iron engine block are long gone like chrome bumpers, balloon white-wall tires, and metal dashboards.
A department Web site, www.CheckYourNumber.org, urges motorists to follow manufacturers' recommendations for vehicle service.
"The 3,000-mile oil change just says that the marketing campaign by quick-lube companies has been effective," Steve Mazor, manager of the Auto Club of Southern California's Automotive Research Center told the Los Angeles Times.
Ford recommends most of its newer vehicles get oil changes every 10,000 miles, with only a few at 7,500 miles. Japan's Honda has no recommendation for the interval between oil changes. Other manufacturers also are letting a computer determine maintenance requirements for a vehicle based on mileage, climate and other variables, the Times said.
A survey by NPD Group in August found more than half of vehicle owners (51 percent) said oil should be changed every 3,000 miles, or three months, and just one-third went 4,000 miles or more between oil changes.
A worker at a quick-lube franchise stripped the oil drain plug in my wife's Toyota on her last visit and it cost us a couple of hundred dollars for a new oil pan and gasket when our mechanic discovered he couldn't get the stuck plug out 3,000 miles later.
My wife called the lube outlet manager to complain and was told the employee who had changed her oil no longer worked there.

Who's Got Next? Top 75 Guard Monte Morris Chooses Iowa State, Zach LaVine To UCLAPosted by Josh Paunil on June 29th, 2012
Who's Got Next? is a weekly column by Josh Paunil, the RTC recruiting guru. We encourage you to check out his website dedicated solely to college basketball recruiting, National Recruiting Spotlight, for more detailed recruiting information. Once a week he will bring you an overview of what's going on in the complex world of recruiting, from who is signing where among the seniors to who the hot prospects are at the lower levels of the sport. If you have any suggestions as to areas we are missing or different things you would like to see, please let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lead Story: Class of 2013 Point Guard Monte Morris Commits To Iowa State
Point Guard Gives Cyclones Second Top 100 Guard in Class of 2013. The only person who may have enjoyed Class of 2013 point guard Monte Morris' 17th birthday Wednesday more than the Michigan native is Fred Hoiberg as the four-star floor general committed to Iowa State. Morris is Iowa State's second top 100 guard commitment in the Class of 2013, joining shooting guard Matt Thomas. Morris spurned offers from the likes of Indiana, Georgia Tech and USC to play at a less prestigious school although the Cyclones' national profile has been improving because of Royce White (who in RTC's NBA Draft Profile projects as a late first round pick) and Hoiberg's success in the Class of 2012 with power forward Georges Niang (#52) signing. Morris is a big-time pick-up because of his ability to create scoring opportunities for both himself and his teammates. He is a smooth floor general with a good basketball-IQ and pretty good range beyond the three-point line. He has been improving his mid-range game as well but Hoiberg is turning Iowa State into a legitimate player for top 100 prospects year in and year out.

It is lucky I work pretty fast as I don't have a lot of time anymore. I would say a small role maybe 20 lines takes me about an hour to do from start to finish to get the file to you. I always record my lines in one sitting and redo the whole part if I don't like something. I will cut the lines into individual lines but that takes me a lot of time to do and if you can do that yourself it really helps. Actually when I use actors, I prefer when I receive lines from other actors for my own movies that they record them as one file. If I have to make sound corrections to the file, it makes it a lot easier.

The reason people don't want anything other than sign-ins, is because moviemakers have to sift through the posts, assuming that each post is a new actor on the list. Having posts that aren't sign-ins makes the sifting annoying. Too bad I'm doing this myself right now by saying this in this post.
I think the point of this thread is to pm the actors from their post and tell them about a casting call and whatnot.

Brisbane Roar stormed into the Hyundai A-League finals series with a 3-1 win over Sydney FC in their high-stakes encounter at Suncorp Stadium.
Brisbane Roar stormed into the Hyundai A-League finals series with a 3-1 win over Sydney FC in their high-stakes encounter at Suncorp Stadium on Thursday night.
The defending champions are now guaranteed to finish in fifth place on the table, while the Sky Blues will spend a nervous Easter weekend waiting on other results to decide their fate.
A glaring error from former Italy international Alessandro Del Piero resulted in Besart Berisha opening the scoring in the 29th minute.
The Roar profited a second time from a Sydney mistake after the break, with Steven Lustica the player to double their advantage.
The in-form Ivan Franjic curled in a third for Brisbane late on, before Del Piero scored a consolation goal for Sydney from the penalty spot.
The Roar started the better side and after eight minutes Thomas Broich sent a swerving free-kick just wide of the post from almost the same spot he scored from in open play the previous week against Melbourne Heart.
Sydney had the first shot on target a short while later when Brisbane failed to effectively clear a corner and Ali Abbas fired in a tricky ball from wide on the left, which Roar goalkeeper Michael Theo saved.
Roar midfielder Luke Brattan just missed the target from 25 metres, sending a first-time shot low and just wide of Ivan Necevski's right post.
A wayward Del Piero backwards pass in the 29th minute gifted Brisbane the first goal of the night, as Broich swooped on the loose ball and played a cross to Berisha, who hit the middle of the net for his 14th goal of the season.
Three minutes later, midfielder Terry Antonis galloped into space and fired a shot at goal which narrowly missed the target.
Joel Griffiths had the best chance of the first half for Sydney when he leapt for an Abbas cross at the back post, but Theo scrambled to slap the ball clear.
Del Piero nearly atoned for his earlier error with an audacious chip from a tough angle to the left of goal. Theo couldn't reach the dipping shot, but it fell just to the right of goal.
Griffiths once again came close to an equaliser just after the break, but his close-range header was well saved by Theo.
Brisbane doubled their advantage in the 51st minute, and once again the goal came from a sloppy Sydney pass. Sebastian Ryall sent a ball out of defence straight to Berisha, and the Albanian teed up Lustica who made no mistake with the finish.
In the 65th minute, Sky Blues defender Ryall could have dragged his side back into the contest, but his header from a Del Piero cross bounced agonisingly wide of the Roar goal.
Franjic sealed the win for his side with a superb effort from just inside the area which curled over Necevski and into the top right corner.
Sydney pulled a goal back with six minutes remaining of regular time, as Roar defender James Donachie tangled with Griffiths just inside the area and the referee pointed to the spot.
Del Piero made it 3-1, but Sydney were unable to beat Theo for a second time in the few minutes that remained.
Bet365.com Man of the Match: Thomas Broich Roar boss Mike Mulvey has found a way to coax the best out of the German at just the right time.

Actress Anne Hathaway battled a "crisis of conscience" while filming dock scenes for movie musical "Les Miserables" because the vegan star had to step on dead fish for the shoot.
The Hollywood beauty adopted a vegan diet after finishing work on this year's Batman blockbuster "The Dark Knight Rises," and she had fake leather shoes specially made for her character Fantine to fit her new lifestyle. However, she had no idea director Tom Hooper would be using real, rotten fish to recreate the authentic feel of the desperate streets of 19th-century France as they made "Les Miserables."
She explains, "For some reason, for the dock scenes, (Hooper) wanted us to have dead fish, for days, and days and days on end and of course this was the first role that I've done since going vegan, so there I am in period-looking pleather shoes, stepping on dead fish, and I was having a real crisis of conscience."
Hathaway wasn't the only cast member struggling to stomach the smell: "Russell (Crowe) came in… and he just reacted like, 'What is this fetid air?' It's hilarious."

Head Coach Patty Post | PGA, LPGA
Patty Post, who previously served six seasons as the head coach the University of Delaware women's golf team, is currently in her first season as Director of Men's and Women's Golf Programs.
During the women's program's inaugural season in 2011-12, Post helped lead the Blue Hens to top-10 finishes during eight of 10 tournaments on the year. Delaware finished among the top five in three tournaments, including a season-best fourth at The Spider at St. James Invitational.
During the 2012-13 campaign, the Blue Hens posted six top 10-finishes on the year, including a fifth place showing at the Colonial Athletic Association Championships.
In 2013-14 Delaware enjoyed an outstanding season, as the Blue Hens finished among the top five in all but one tournament. UD claimed team titles at the Tignanelli Towson Invitational, Rutgers Invitational and Delaware Invitational, and capped its year by tying for second place at the CAA Championships.
Amanda Terzian was the first all-conference selection in program history as she was named second team All-CAA after leading UD with a 76.46 average round and placing fourth at the league championships.
In recognition of her efforts, Post was named the LPGA Teaching & Club Professional Northeast Coach of the Year in August and the National Coach of the Year in September, 2014.
In 2014-15 Delaware successfully defended its Tignanelli Towson Invitational crown, while Nathalie Filler became the first medalist in school history. The Blue Hens placed among the top five in all but two tournaments on the season, and set a school record with a 78.51 team average round.
Andi Slane capped the year by winning the individual title at the CAA Championship, capturing the crown by eight strokes. Slane cruised to the victory with a UD and conference tournament single round record of five under par 67 during the final round, while her three-round total of 209 was the lowest in school history by seven shots.
Post was named the CAA Coach of the Year in 2015-16 after leading the Blue Hens to the conference title, as Delaware posted an eight-shot victory. UD earned its first berth in the NCAA Regionals, finishing in 17th place at the Bryan (Tex.) Regional.
The Blue Hens captured the Rutgers Invitational crown, placed among the top five in six of 11 tournaments, and finished among the top 10 in every invitational except the NCAA Regional.
Slane successfully defended her CAA individual crown, becoming the first women's golfer in conference history to win back to back titles, and broke her own school record by averaging 75.17 shots per round. Slane and Filler each earned second team All-CAA honors following the season.
Despite losing her top three players, Post again led the Blue Hens to the CAA crown and an NCAA Regional appearance in 2016-17 while earning CAA Coach of the Year honors for the second year in a row.
Delaware recorded six top five finishes during the year, captured the season-opening Rutgers Invitational team crown, and defended its league title with an 11-shot victory before placing 15th at the NCAA Columbus Regional. Freshman Ariane Klotz was named the CAA Rookie of the Year and also was selected to the all-conference first team.
Post (nee Frohna) joined Georgetown University as the women's golf head coach in 2006 and guided a young program that has become one of the best in the BIG EAST Conference and in the region.
In her third year at the helm, during the 2008-09 season, the Hoyas posted eight top-10 finishes in 10 tournaments, including three top-five finishes in the Spring. Those finishes were highlighted by a team third place finish at the Big East Championships and a win at the NIU Snowbird Intercollegiate, the third team win in program history. She was named LPGA Northeast Section Coach of the Year 2009.
Two of her golfers - Chelsea Curtis and Carly Hunt - earned All-BIG EAST honors for the second-straight season. Six of the seven members of the women's golf team were selected to the All-BIG EAST Academic Team and Hunt, Robyn English and Joan Dulieu were named to the National Golf Coaches Association Scholar All-American list. Georgetown also served as the team host for the 2009 NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship at Caves Valley Golf Course in Owings Mills, Md.
In her second season, the Blue and Gray posted eight top-10 finishes and finished in fifth place at the BIG EAST Championship. Four members of the team - Christine Curley, English, Hunt and Madeline Nguyen - were named to the National Golf Coaches Association Scholar All-American list.
Post guided the Hoyas to a fourth place finish at the 2007 BIG EAST Championship and to four top-five finishes and four top-10 finishes during her first season at the helm of the program.
In addition to her leadership of the team on the links, Post herself enjoyed a solid season of play. She played in the LPGA's Sybase Classic in May 2008, qualified for the LPGA Championship in June, 2010 and capped off her year by playing in the 40th PGA Professional National Championship.
Post came to Georgetown after spending the previous six years as a teaching professional and a player. She joined the Hoyas after serving as the Assistant Golf Professional at Lakewood Country Club in Rockville, Md. for two years (2004-05). At Lakewood, Post ran weekly tournaments, provided lessons, conducted clinics and assisted in the merchandising for the golf shop.
Prior to that, she spent two years (2003-04) at Admiral's Cove Golf Club in Jupiter, Fla. and was the Teaching Professional at Fair Oaks Golf Park in Fairfax, Va. from 2001-05.
During that time, Post was also pursuing a professional playing career. From 2003-05, Post played regularly on the Futures Golf Tour, earning exempt status on the tour that is known as the "Gateway to the LPGA." She had two top-20 finishes in events during the 2003 and 2004 seasons. Her playing resume also includes Runner-up finishes in the Maryland Women's Open from 2003-05, named Middle Atlantic PGA Women's Player of the Year in 2002, 2005, 2006,and 2007, named LPGA Northeast Section Teaching and Club Professional Player of the Year in 2007, and was only the second female to qualify for the PGA National Club Professional Championship.
A 1999 kinesiology and zoology graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Post enjoyed a stellar amateur career. She was the Wisconsin Amateur Champion in 1998 and was named the most valuable player on the Wisconsin team in 1997 and 1999. Post won the 1999 Notre Dame Invitational and also earned CoSIDA Academic All-American honors during her career.
Post and her husband, Brendon, himself an accomplished golfer who served as Patty's assistant coach at Georgetown and now at Delaware, have two daughters, Miranda and Kiera, and a son, Landon.

Font Family: Fakt Condensed, Number of fonts: 20*OTF, Type Foundry: Ourtype, Designer: Thomas Thiemich, Design date: 2010
Fakt, designed by Thomas Thiemich, is a highly functional sanserif. It is Theimich's second typeface for OurType, following his Alto design, a humanist sanserif.
Different from Alto, whose design speaks of the 1990s, Fakt revisits archetypal sanserifs of earlier decades: Miedinger and Hoffmann's Neue Haas Grotesk / Helvetica (the 1950s) and Renner's Futura (the 1920s). Fakt combines the best of each – of grotesk and geometrical sanserif traditions – but not by mere interpolation. Instead, it offers a stylistic 'toggle' – to put it crudely: on one hand - a neutral grotesk, on the other - a geometrical sans. Switch to the stylistic alternates and letter shapes are subtly changed, altering Fakt's mood. The result is a double design that in each style is well balanced and refined.
Fakt is a child of its time, offering choices efficiently and in an accessible way. It is a well behaved child but also a clever one, respectful of its sanserif parents while bringing them new joy. Fakt's designer Theimich views tradition from the present, and so has updated the past using today's tools and techniques with intelligence and cunning.
A fine pick for posters, magazines or art catalogues, digital applications or new corporate environments, Fakt brings a subtle modern perfume to this genre of sanserif design.
Fakt consists of ten weights of roman and italic designs, built around three widths. The family features an extended range of thin weights, including the ethereal and never-before-seen 'Air'. The standard character set comprises small caps and basic sets of figures, as well as the stylistic alternates' set; small caps; lining, old style and small cap figures (each in tabular and proportional widths); fractions; comprehensive superiors, inferiors, nominators and denominators; case sensitive punctuation sets; mathematical and monetary symbols; arrows; standard and discretionary ligatures; stylistic alternates' set; and a complete range of accents covering all (Latin script based) Western, Central and East European languages.

Setting Keychain Access in Mac OS X Lion
A keychain is a way to consolidate your passwords in Mac OS X Lion — the one you use to log into your Mac, your e-mail password, and passwords required by any websites. Here's how it works: You use a single password to unlock your keychain (which holds your various passwords) and then you don't have to remember all your other passwords. Rest assured that your passwords are secure because only a user who has your keychain password can reach the other password-protected applications.
The Keychain Access utility is particularly cool if you have multiple e-mail accounts, and each one has a different password. Just add them all to your keychain, and you can get all your mail at the same time with one password.
A special "master" keychain called the Login Keychain is created automatically for every Mac OS X Lion user.
Here's how to add passwords to your login keychain:
To add passwords for applications, just open Mail or another application that supports the keychain. When the program asks for your password, supply it and choose Yes to add the password to the keychain.
How do you know which programs support the Keychain Access utility? You don't until you're prompted to save your password in a keychain in that Open dialog, connect window, or so forth. If a program supports Keychain Access, it offers a check box for it in the user ID/password dialog or window.
To add a website password to a keychain, open the Keychain Access application, and click the Password button. In the New Password Item window that opens, type the URL of the page (or copy and paste it) in the Keychain Item Name text field; type your username in the Account Name field; and then type your password in the Password text field.
To use the new URL password, use Safari to open the URL. If the account name and password aren't filled in for you automatically, choose Edit→AutoFill Form (Command+Shift+A), and they will be. Now just click the appropriate button on the web page to log in.
If you select the User Names and Passwords check box on the AutoFill tab of Safari's Preferences window (Safari→Preferences or Command+,), you don't have to add sites, accounts, or passwords manually. Instead, the first time you visit a site that requires an account name and password, when you log in, Safari asks whether you would like to save your password.

Sometimes it's just fun to get dressed up for no particular reason. Sure, you risk the possibility of being over-dressed for a casual occasion, but wouldn't you rather be over-dressed than under?
I got this silky cardigan by Winter Kate for my birthday two years ago and am head-over-heels in love with its bohemian vibe and feathery print. I admittedly didn't think it was going to be a very versatile piece in my wardrobe but turns out it's one of the most versatile pieces I own. I put this outfit together when I was back at home in San Francisco for the holidays and loved that when worn with a statement belt the cardigan easily turns into a dress! While I didn't end up doing anything particularly festive or dress-up worthy in this outfit, it was a nice change from my usual leggings and sweatshirt look that quickly becomes my uniform whenever I go home.

A community group in Connecticut said it is holding a violent video game return event in response to the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
SouthingtonSOS, a group started after the shooting as a way to help others in need, has scheduled the video game return for Jan. 12 in Southington, Conn., WFSB-TV, Hartford, Conn., reported Wednesday.
The group will accept violent video games in exchange for gift certificates donated by the Southington Chamber of Commerce, the station said.
Members of the group said they do not believe violent video games were the reason Adam Lanza, 20, killed his mother in her sleep at their home Dec. 14 before he went to the nearby elementary school in Newtown, killing 20 children and six adults before killing himself.
But, "there is ample evidence that violent video games, along with violent media of all kinds, including TV and movies portraying story after story showing a continuous stream of violence and killing, has contributed to increasing aggressiveness, fear, anxiety and is desensitizing our children to acts of violence including bullying," the group said in a release.

Visvliet (Groningen, Netherlands)
Visvliet, a village in the Dutch province of Groningen, where there was formerly a Mennonite congregation, usually called Kollum and Visvliet. It was probably Leenaert Bouwens who laid the foundation of this congregation by baptizing seven persons at Visvliet in 1551-1554, five in 1554-1556, and six in 1563-1565. Concerning the Mennonites of Visvliet there is only scarce information. In 1643 it is reported that some Visvliet Mennonites had the "insolence to buy a house, which they provided with benches for use as their church." In the next year on the orders of the States of Groningen this meetinghouse was demolished, but the Mennonites continued to hold their meetings. At this time the Mennonites of Visvliet were very likely Ukowallists. Later their congregation belonged to the Groningen Old Flemish conference and was represented at its meetings in 1681 and 1683. By 1700 the congregation had died out.

Take a twirl, stroll, don a pair of skates, ride your bike and more during the Richmond District's Sunday Streets on nearby Arguello Boulevard.

Enjoy free, family-friendly activities, learn about health and nonprofit organizations, and explore the neighborhood.
1. Satin Moon Fabrics
