The dealership may title the vehicle in the county where the purchase took place or send the title work to the Jefferson County Clerk to process. If we receive the title application we will either notify you by phone, mail or simply process the application if the appropriate fees are provided and mail the completed work to you.

New Residents
New residents wishing to title and register in Tennessee must surrender their out-of-state title, if it is in their possession. If you have a lien on your vehicle and do not possess the title you should bring in your current vehicle registration and the full address of the lienholder. Make sure that the address you provide is the location where the title is being held and not just where you send payments.
All ATV's should be titled in Tennessee. All new ATV's have a MSO/MCO which is title provided by the manufacturer to the dealer.
Mobile Homes
All new mobile homes have a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin which is the title the manufacturer provides to the dealer for reassignment. When purchasing a new mobile home you must provide the clerk's office with the MCO/MSO and a bill of sale or dealer's invoice showing that sales tax has been collected. All mobile homes should be titled unless the lienholder requires that you submit an Affidavit of Affixation and relinquish your title.
The State of Tennessee does not require that all trailers be titled and registered. Check with the clerk's office for specific information on your trailer.
Duplicate Titles – In order to receive a duplicate title the owner must submit an Application for Replacement Certificate Title to the clerk's office and a fee of $11.00. Most duplicate titles are handed over-the-counter that day.
Noting of Liens
To note a lien you must submit the Tennessee Certificate of Title, an Application for Noting of Lien on Certificate of Title form, and a security agreement which identifies the vehicle and is signed.

08 Aug 2011
(HONG KONG) Dragonair announced today the appointment of Patrick Yeung as the airline's next Chief Executive Officer. Mr Yeung will take up the post on 16 August, succeeding James Tong in the role.
Mr Yeung is currently Director, General Manager & Chief Representative of John Swire & Sons (China) Limited, overseeing the group's development and investment strategies in Mainland China, but has considerable experience in aviation having worked with the Cathay Pacific Group for a number of years.
Mr Yeung said he was excited about taking up the CEO post and being part of the aviation world again.
"Dragonair is a successful local carrier that has won a lot of recognition in Hong Kong and around the region. The Dragonair team has never forsaken its people-oriented culture and customer-minded approach to service and has soared to new heights in recent years," Mr Yeung said.
"Without such dedicated and exemplary team members it would not have been possible for Dragonair to be recognised as 'World's Best Regional Airline' by Skytrax for the past two years. I am confident that, with the strong foundation already laid, Dragonair will continue to be a strong performer within the Cathay Pacific Group, and I look forward to leading the airline in achieving its long-term goals."
Mr Yeung joined the Swire group in 1980 and has held numerous managerial positions within Swire Shipping and the Cathay Pacific Group. During his time with Cathay Pacific, Mr Yeung had a number of key overseas roles including in the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. He also served as Managing Director of Cathay Holidays Limited from 1998 to 2004, during which time it moved from being a departmental operation to a separate wholly owned subsidiary. From 2007 to 2009, he worked as General Manager China, managing the operations of both Dragonair and Cathay Pacific in the Mainland.
Mr Yeung holds a Bachelor's Degree in Social Science from the University of Hong Kong.

The Mississippi College Athletic Department was proud to announce earlier today the National Collegiate Athletic Association has granted the school permission to rejoin Division II. The JFP received this press release just before noon:
Mississippi College can now move forward to become an NCAA Division II member and rejoin the Gulf South Conference, NCAA officials said Friday.
After being initially turned down earlier this summer, Mississippi College leaders appealed. The NCAA Membership Committee overturned the earlier decision to pave the way for acceptance into the Division II membership process.
"We're on our way to Division II," MC Vice President for Advancement Bill Townsend said today. "It's a great day for Mississippi College athletics and athletes."
Returning to the Gulf South Conference – MC was a member from 1972 through 1996 – the Choctaws will renew rivalries with teams like Delta State, West Alabama, Valdosta State, North Alabama, and face new Baptist-affiliated opponents like Union University of Jackson, Tennessee and Shorter University of Rome, Georgia.
"This is a great day for the Gulf South Conference," said GSC Commissioner Michael Salant, who was reached in New York at the time of the announcement on the Clinton campus.
With the additions of all-sports members Shorter, Union, Lee University and Mississippi College plus Florida Tech in football and West Florida to start football, the GSC, "is more cohesive and stronger than it probably ever has been," he said.
"It's great to renew old rivalries and establish some new ones," said Townsend, who worked on the appeal in recent weeks with MC trustee Andy Taggart and others at the Christian university. "As we transition into Division II, we will miss our American Southwest Conference friends."
MC President Lee Royce and Athletic Director Mike Jones scheduled a press conference at noon at the A.E. Wood Coliseum to discuss details of the move from NCAA Division III to Division II.
There is a lengthy process involved as Mississippi College becomes part of the Division II candidacy starting with the 2013-14 academic year.
MC leaders will need to continue to meet with NCAA leaders every year for three years to remain in good standing.
Why go Division II?
In terms of academics and stronger retention efforts, MC leaders say they are pleased to be one of the 300 NCAA Division II colleges and universities nationwide that count 100,000 student-athletes on their rosters. NCAA reports show 73 percent of the freshmen Division II athletes who entered school in 2004 received college degrees six years later.
The move to play athletic opponents in the region in the Birmingham-based Gulf South Conference will greatly reduce travel time for MC student-athletes and enable the Choctaws to receive greater media exposure around the South and nation. Every fall, CSS broadcasts GSC games of the week.
Mississippi College student-athletes were pleased to hear that the Baptist-affiliated school will be returning to the GSC and Division II. It means athletic scholarships will become available once again for MC students who participate in the 15 NCAA sports on the Clinton campus.
"I feel there will be better opportunities for athletes in Division II," said men's cross country team member Keegan Kurpakus, 18, a freshman from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. "Athletic scholarships will be helpful."
MC freshman Lucas Bishop, 18, a cross country runner from Mobile, Alabama applauded the move. "It gives a lot of athletes something to shoot for." He's looking forward to competing against teams like Delta State. He believes the scholarships will help improve the university's retention rates. Bishop is receiving academic scholarships to study biology/pre-med at the university.

Evesham plots rocky road back from HCI havoc
Gordon Brown's legacy for the British PC industry
Evesham Technology, one of the UK's last remaining PC manufacturers, is clawing its way back to profit after Gordon Brown's overnight closure of the Home Computer Initiative (HCI) left it with a £30m hole in its accounts.
When the firm publishes its 2007 results in three months time, for which it is just closing its year end, it is expected to show a loss of nearly £2m. Things were so bad for the firm last December that there were serious rumours about its demise. Evesham laid off a quarter of its workforce in order to cut costs.
Evesham chairman Richard Austin told The Register the firm is completing forecasts for another year of belt-tightening, which it hopes will see the firm return to profit in the 2008 financial year. Evesham's cost-cutting measures included cutting its workforce by a quarter, gradually winding up its retail stores, and pushing new product lines.
"The retail outlets are not the future of Evesham," said Austin. "As leases expire, we won't be opening any new outlets."
The PC maker had about 400 employees last year, but can now only carry 300 - most employed in the small town of Evesham. It has pushed new products to replace the sudden drop in PC sales, selling LCD TVs and satellite navigation gadgets, the latter of which have been received well in the US.
Austin said he could not confirm the £1.8m loss The Register understands the firm will post for 2007, but did confirm that it had forecast a £1.5m return to profit for 2008, though the numbers were still being worked over.
"When you bear in mind that the Chancellor pulled the plug on HCI, we had £30m turnover forecast in that. We've had to fight to pull back," he said.
HCI was a scheme of tax breaks for employees, which enabled them to hire purchase PCs through their pay packets.
"When the government announced HCI in 2004, they said it would run for five years and it was taken away [after three years] with 10 days notice," Austin added.
"We had focused so heavily on it and had invested so heavily in HCI - not just in sales people, but back-end investment in systems.
"Whatever the outcome for Evesham Technology, that was the killer blow for us this financial year."
Evesham made sales of £20m from HCI schemes in 2006, serving customers like Scottish Power, BMW, and Lloyd's TSB. Sales for the year ended 31 May 2006, just after the HCI scheme was canned, were £72.7m. Profit was just £124,000.
Promotion to the elite club of suppliers awarded places on the government's Catalist catalogue would have been some consolation, but Evesham is still expecting to report turnover of between £50 and £60m in 2007.
Most of the larger indigenous British PC firms have gone bust in recent years, including Elonex, Granville, and Watford Electronics. ®

Google Wallet now works with all credit and debit cards, adds remote wipe feature
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Smartphones, Google, Software
In our opinion, the one big factor that limited the appeal of Google Wallet was the fact that it has only been compatible with CitiBank MasterCard. Not exactly something that the masses have in their wallets. Today, that changes, as Google has announced that Wallet is now compatible with all Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover debit and credit cards. That's progress!
Also added is a remote wipe feature that allows users to disable Google Wallet remotely, blocking usage of the app with that device and clearing off card and transaction data as well.
You can now use Google Wallet to pay at over 200,000 locations across the US. You can download the new update today from Google Play.

OTTAWA - The federal government has been setting annual targets — with dollar totals — for investigators looking into improper Employment Insurance payments since 1993, say officials with the Human Resources Department.
And door-knocking by Service Canada officials, currently taking place at the homes of 1,200 EI recipients across the country, has been done regularly in the past.
Opposition claims that the Conservative government is on a "witch hunt" against the unemployed have dominated the House of Commons this week.
Human Resources Minister Diane Finley has responded by claiming that, "sadly, the New Democrats are only worried about people who are trying to cheat the system, people they call victims."
The truth is that all sides are playing politics, to some extent.
Finley's office arranged a background briefing Wednesday with officials from her Human Resources and Skills Development Department in an effort to defuse the roiling controversy.
And while the record proves that annual dollar targets — the opposition NDP calls them "quotas" — for rooting out improper EI claims are old hat, the record also calls into question claims of hundreds of millions of dollars in Employment Insurance fraud each year.
Last year, Service Canada's "integrity" program saved or recovered $381 million in ineligible EI payments.
"The savings are not just fraud," explained a senior departmental official, speaking on background. "We're talking about error, abuse, but also future incorrect payment."
"The most common type of error that we see and address through the integrity intervention, for example, are when clients make honest mistakes," said the official.
The department subsequently claimed that out of the $381 million total saved in 2011-12, some $128.7 million involved "fraudulent claims."
But the department did not make clear where mistakes end and the legal definition of fraud begins.
"We don't track the number of individuals who have been charged with fraud," said the official. "We track the number of dollars that were not eligible to be paid to clients because of their misrepresentation for benefits."
All parties contend they want to see EI fraudsters caught.
The government, which has made significant changes to the employment insurance eligibility rules, is casting complaints about enforcement as tantamount to the protection of cheaters.
"They're vastly overstating the extent to which there is a systemic issue in the system," countered Bob Rae, the interim Liberal leader.
"I do not see fraudsters and cheats," NDP critic Chris Charlton told the Commons, after calling EI enforcement a "witch hunt."
"I see honest, hard-working seasonal workers who want the minister to explain why she is coming after them."
The government response could best be summarized as follows: "Checks are run to ensure the integrity of the system, since the best guarantee for the future of a system is its integrity."
That's not Finley speaking. It's a quote in the House of Commons by former Liberal minister Pierre Pettigrew in February 1999.
The Liberal government of the day was under attack after Human Resources documents surfaced that showed a $612 million "national savings objective" that year for the EI program.
Opposition MPs of the day, including Progressive Conservative Jean Dube, called the target a "quota" — a characterization the Liberals hotly denied.
However, documents at the time showed a thinly veiled threat to the EI office on Prince Edward Island, which was well behind on its target.
The Human Resources Department was "well positioned to avoid the 150 (full-time jobs) reduction to be imposed by Treasury Board if the target is not met," said the July 1998 memo.
Today, there are new opposition allegations of "quotas" that Finley flatly denies.
"Service Canada does not have quotas that would carry negative consequences for staff who fail to meet them," the minister said in an email message Wednesday.
"They do however have performance targets to help protect the benefits of the unemployed from fraud."
Officials in the department did concede that top managers in the department do receive bonuses — known as "at risk" pay in the public service because it is withheld if targets aren't met — based on the EI savings targets established each year.
Regional managers and field workers do not receive any bonuses, said the officials.
And as for those 1,200 house calls, officials are delivering letters requesting interviews.
An official said the home visit "Provides Service Canada officials with the opportunity to have a better understanding of the client's personal circumstances."
The department said in an email that it does not track every house call, but said "every year, including 2012, integrity officers across the country conduct home visits for specific cases on a regular basis."

Crackdown on child prostitution during Final Four | News
ATLANTA -- The NCAA Final Four Tournament gave some of Atlanta's most heinous criminals a chance to ply their trade, according to law enforcement officials. But those law enforcement officials were ready.
The FBI said child prostitution and human trafficking increase during events like the Final Four and other events it brought to Atlanta. That's why the FBI's Metro Atlanta Child Exploitation Task Force (MATCH) and Atlanta Police conducted "Operation Intentional Foul" over the weekend.
"Atlanta's known for its conventions, for its various events and this was a large event that we chose to hold a proactive law enforcement effort," said FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett.
As a result, seven juvenile females were rescued. Three people were arrested and charged with pimping those girls. Brianne Marcelin, 23, of Atlanta, Kourtes Laster Johnson, 18, of Atlanta, and Lovell Barnett, 18, of Atlanta were arrested on state charges of Sexual Exploitation for Pimping.
A fourth suspect, Bryant Bailey, 29, of Atlanta was charged with Human Trafficking.
The FBI's efforts coincided with an independent shock campaign by a faith-based non-profit to end human trafficking called the "End It Movement." They drove a human mobile billboard around Atlanta during the final four to promote "Shine a Light on Slavery Day" which is trending highly on social networking sites.
"This is one of the top cities in the United States where underage girls and boys are bought and sold against their will," said Bryson Vogeltanz, a spokesperson for the End It Movement. "It's crazy and this is happening right here in Atlanta and it's happening all over the world."
There is no connection between the group's efforts and the efforts of law enforcement other than the fact that both chose Final Four Weekend, an event where this type of activity spikes.

OAKLAND — The East Bay's largest water district decided Tuesday to use voluntary conservation and tap a new water supply from the Sacramento River to get through the year without rationing.
The East Bay Municipal Utility District will continue to ask its 1.3 million customers in Contra Costa and Alameda counties to cut water use 10 percent — a target they met in April.
In a 7-0 vote, the board also decided to make the district's first-ever use of an emergency water supply that has been in the planning for more than a half-century.
In April and May, the water district will pump in 16,000 acre feet of water — a 32-day supply — of Sacramento River water from near Freeport, south of Sacramento.
John Coleman, a water board member from Walnut Creek, said the delivery from the Sacramento River is a historic milestone in protecting customers against shortages.
"We spent decades and hundreds of millions of dollars to come up with a collaborative project," Coleman said. "Now I feel it's proper to say it's time to take it."
The water will be delivered through a $900 million water delivery project that was jointly built by Sacramento County and EBMUD, and finished in 2011.
The water district in late September will reassess its water supplies and decide if it needs to take more of the Sacramento River water.
EBMUD typically relies on Mokelumne River water that is captured in the Central Sierra and piped to customers in Crockett, Richmond, Berkeley, Oakland, Alameda, San Leandro, Danville, San Ramon, Lafayette, part of Walnut Creek and other communities. But this is turning out to be the second driest water year on record in the Mokelumne basin. Only 23.4 inches of precipitation have fallen there, 53 percent of normal, and the snowpack is melting fast because of warm weather in recent weeks.
Relying on customer conservation and the new Sacramento River water supply will leave the district with enough water to be prepared in case the next winter and spring are also dry, said Eileen White, the district's water operations manager.
The district will start out taking 16,000 acre feet over two months, although it has contractual rights to take up to 66,500 acre feet of water. The district uses about 182,500 acre feet in a normal year.
EBMUD tested the pumping plant near Freeport to make sure it did not harm fish like the threatened Delta smelt, and it has passed those tests, White said.
Without the new emergency water supply, district customers likely would face the hardship of mandatory rationing, Coleman said.
Lesa McIntosh, a water board member from Richmond, cautioned that customers will have to continue to cut their water use 10 percent or more to keep the district out of trouble.
"I don't want to give our customers the impression that they get a free pass on conservation," McIntosh said. "We expect our customers to at least stick with the conservation goals."
The district expects to spend about $8 million on the steep pumping and electricity costs to transport the water 130 miles through pipelines and an aqueduct to get to the East Bay. However, the board decided Tuesday it would use reserves to cover those costs rather than impose a surcharge on water bills.
EBMUD General Manager Alexander Coate said the district has a good idea how much water will be in reservoirs in the fall, but it doesn't know how much rain and snow will fall next season.
While some scientists predict next winter may be wet because of expected El Niño trends, the district can't count on getting bailed out of its shortages, White said.

Type of Establishment: 10 bbl brewery and brew pub, gorgeous cabin at the foot of the Cascade Mountains.
Visit: After spending Christmas with my mother in Bend, OR I chose to head home via Rt. 20 to I-5 in order to bypass some, potentially, more hazardous mountain pass conditions. This route took me through the small tourist town of Sisters, OR. Sisters is home to one of Oregon's newest and brightest production breweries. They also happen to have a killer pub. I had to stop to fuel up (in more ways than one) before my intrepid trek across the Santiam Pass.
Beers on Tap (at time of visit):
- Standards:
Knotty Blonde
Stonefly Rye
Old Prospector Pale Ale
Anvil Amber
Firestorm Red
Hoodoo Voodoo IPA
- Seasonals:
Five Pine Chocolate Porter
Cripple Creek Cream Ale
Rudolph's Imperial Red
Left Behind Barley Wine
Bottle List (all 22oz):
Hoodoo Voodoo IPA
Five Pine Chocolate Porter
Rudolph's Imperial Red
Food Options:
I didn't eat here, but after glancing at the menu I immediately wished that I had a much smaller breakfast. The menu was, for the most part, as far as content goes, pretty typical for a up-scale brewpub… apps, soups, salads, burgers, sandwiches, etc, but everything seemed to have a little extra panache. The most notable item that I saw was found on the specials menu — a reuben pizza. I actually had to ask the bartender if it was really a reuben pizza or two separate items. Holy shit! Pastrami and kraut and thousand island on a pizza. How on Earth did I not order it?!
Bar Opinions:
I really like this place. The end.
Just kidding. Immediately upon pulling my car into the parking spot out front of TCB I felt a sense on comfort. I knew that I liked the place before I even entered. It wasn't so much the brewery that I was standing outside of (though you can tell from the picture above that it does look pretty cool from the outside), it was just such a pretty, pleasant, calming situation I was in. My stomach and heart were full from the recent Christmas festivities, there was fluffy snow on the ground, I was in a cute little town right on the cusp of a beautiful mountain, I had just driven through pristine fields full of horses and cattle… everything was right as rain.
As I entered, things seemed to only improve. Just within the doors, the foyer housed the hostess and the "gift shop". I was overwhelmed. The hostess wanted information from me — was I alone? Was I eating? Where would I like to sit? But alas, I was most inattentive, after all, there was beer and brewery merchandise to ogle. Eventually I regained my composure and asked if there was a bar that I could sit at. There was, just through the door to my right.
I guess the bar area is where the unsavory folks tread. That's why they had to build a wall to separate that area from the more family friendly dining room to my left as I entered. Sucks to be a family because that area was seriously weak in comparison to the bar, with the great exception of a very luxurious leather couch adorned alcove around a blazing fireplace in the rear of the room that is.
Once I got situated at the bar it became evident that there was nothing unsavory about any area within TCB. The bar portion was uber clean, cozy and comfortable. There was wood everywhere, which is an attribute that I adore in a Northwest bar. There was a huge bay window on one side of the room that revealed the shiny new brewing equipment. There was a pool table, a Christmas tree, several free-standing tables and a gorgeous leather chair surrounded copper topped bar. The tap handles seemed to be all hand carved and burnt wood. The lighting was inviting, and so was the staff. Wow! Really impressed!
Sadly, considering that it was snowing and chains were required on the pass, I was both slightly in a hurry and very conscious of my alcohol consumption. Because of this I inquired on the sampling situation. TCB does offer a flight of all of their standard offering and a flight of every beer that they have on tap. I was only really interested in getting three samples so I negotiated a pay as you go deal and the bartender was happy to appease me. I had the IPA, the barley wine and the chocolate porter. All three were tasty, but the barley wine really stood out. I asked if they were pouring growlers of it to go, but it was a little pricey so I stayed content with things as they were.
I took in my surroundings one last time and hit the road. If there is one thing that I know for certain it is that I will make it back to TCB, hopefully sooner rather than later. If TCB's brewpub bar was in Seattle it would, without a doubt, be a regular visit for me. If you are ever in or passing through or near Sisters — maybe you're heading to the rodeo — do not miss this precious little beer filled cabin in the woods.

Best Online Black Friday Deals On Copy Designer Handbags Sites: Don't Miss Out!Categories:Other Brands
Many of you girls have shown a lot of interest regarding the best online Black Friday deals on copy designer handbags. As promised, I did a thorough research for a special Black Friday post and here's what I found out so far.
Unfortunately there aren't many replica sites that have a Black Friday sale which is kind of disappointing because I expected Black Friday 2015 to be better than last year but I still have some great news for you! Check them out!
First things first. Black Friday is scheduled for this week, 27th November. But as I already said in the previous post, some retailers extend their Black Friday sales on more days. So far no replica bags site has announced any special Black Friday discounts except PurseValley.cn. They have already sent me a newsletter announcing the best online Black Friday deals I've seen so far. This is the best replica bags website, especially when it comes to special promotions and discounts!
PurseValley.cn – Best Online Black Friday Deals On Copy Designer Handbags
Wondering why I'm saying PurseValley.cn has the best online Black Friday deals on replica bags? Well, how does 50% off everything sound like? Yeah, it's that good, they always have some great deals! The 50% Black Friday discount applies to all their copy designer handbags, replica shoes and replica watches (except Swiss watches) and in order to get the discount you have to choose one of their alternative payment methods (eCheck, Bank Transfer, Bitcoins, Western Union or MoneyGram) and place a minimum order of $500. But the 50% discount applies to the total amount, so if you place an order of $500 you'll be actually paying just half of it. This is heaven sent for a serial shopper like me.
The PurseValley Black Friday handbag sale is valid for three days in a row: November 26th, 27th and 28th. So ladies, this weekend we'll be pretty busy shopping for all those replica bags we've been wanting to buy for some time now! It's true, they don't have all the luxury brands but even if you can't find everything you want on their site, you can still buy early Christmas gifts for both men and women. You'll be saving up some big bucks and also get rid of all the tiring holiday shopping frenzy! If you are not interested in Black Friday shopping, you can also check out their holiday promotion: a free gift on every order:
After checking tens of replica handbags websites, PurseValley.cn is definitely the winner…again! It's not like I wasn't expecting them to have some of the best online Black Friday deals but this year's Black Friday handbag deals are even better than last year! I know that many of you would like to know if this replica bags site is safe to use other payment methods than credit card and the answer is definitely yes! Their money-back guarantee applies to all payment methods, so there's nothing to worry about.
Since I mentioned holiday shopping, I'll also mention the 2015 Christmas sale I've found on fallin2fashion4.com. Their sale ends on 25th December and the discounts apply to Western Union and Money Gram payments only. For orders between $300 and $500 there's a 7% discount, 10% off for orders between $600 and $999 and 12% off for orders of $1000 or more. Now if you ask me, these discounts don't even compare to the ones of Purse Valley but it's still better than nothing!
Poshmoda.co also has a clearance sale for a number of selected items. Some of these discounts are pretty good but there's only a limited number of discounted products, so if you want to buy anything from here, you need to hurry up! Poshmoda.co is one of the most expensive replica bags sites on the market and I can't justify their regular prices. Some of the selected replica bags are still expensive even after these discounts but at least they're more accessible! For example, the normal price of their replica Louis Vuitton Monogram Turenne MM is no less than $529 and after the discount it's $279.
I also emailed replica sites reps asking them if they have planned any Black Friday specials and now I'm waiting for their responses. Hugh from Uncle Bench has already answered and unfortunately they don't have a Black Friday sale or any other promotion right now. If I find out about any other promotions in the next days, I'll edit this post and add them here.
So I think you'll understand me when I say that PurseValley has the best online Black Friday deals on copy designer handbags. It's not that I don't trust any other replica sites but they just haven't planned anything special for Black Friday, they are offering just their usual discounts.
If you know about any other Black Friday purse sales, please leave a comment below!

As I always say, besides the replica purses a site has to offer, other important aspects are the services and the return policy.

It's very reassuring for me to know that I can get in touch with the customer support department whenever I want. If I have questions about their replica purses, about my order or if I decide to return something that I bought, it's important to actually speak with someone.
Anyways, back to the announcement I just made! layow.com is celebrating their 10-year anniversary and they are offering 50% discount store wide, whether we are talking about handbag designer knockoffs, shoes, watches or accessories! But you should hurry up, this offer is valid just one day! The part in their email that made my day is this: "May you continue to inspire us for many years to come!

Style Guide: What To Wear If You're A Petit WomanCATEGORIES:Other Brands
I know you think that being petite might be a problem for you something but you don't have to see it like this. Did you know that most man find petite woman very attractive? I've asked a few guys around and even though they couldn't explain it, this is how they feel. But dressing properly is a totally different thing and today I'm going to try to shed some light.
There are a few rules you need to follow but it also depends on your style and your body figure. The golden rule is choosing the right elements that don't split your waist line, so match high waisted skirts or pants and a cropped blouse. It's advised that petite women choose one color straight pants, preferably something not too dark but they should be longer than your ankles. As for the blouses, try to avoid baggy shirts.
Now let's talk about shoes. High helps are the best option, no matter the event. You can upgrade you collection with some Christian Louboutin replica shoes or Saint Laurent, they are beautiful. If you're not comfortable wearing heels, you can go for a pair of wedge sandals or shoes; as for the color, nude is the safest choice if you don't like taking risks. Try to avoid booties or strappy sandals – they will make you legs shorter than they actually are.
Here comes my favorite part, designer purses. Coach handbags are very popular these days and at least one celebrity owns one. You can also take a look at some Gucci purses, or any other brand you might like, there are endless possibilities. Just keep in mind that oversized bags are not really your friend, but don't be afraid of wear medium or large designer purses.
If you like the Gucci purses I've shown you today, you can find them here. If you have other suggestion, leave me a comment below.

Embellish Your Prom Dress With Gucci PursesCATEGORIES:Other Brands
"Dear Isa,
Can you please give me a hand?
I'm looking for some small clutches or cross-body designer purses. My prom is in a few weeks and I have no idea what to choose. My custom made gown is ready and I have two pair of shoes, high heels and flats, cause I wanna dance all night. Can you please make a short list for me?
Kisses and hugs,
My dear Ana,
Since you never told me the color of your dress or the shoes I'm going to do my best and make a list of the most classic but modern designer purses I would wear myself. The two Gucci purses I picked out are fabulous and they are available in different colors.
The Gucci Broadway evening clutch can be matched with a red, black or any other color you want, except nude or pink, because you can look faded. The second purse, the Gucci 1973 purse it's more formal and the golden chain and logo adds a sophisticated touch. Like I previously said, these Gucci purses have two or three color variations and you can find them here.

Fabulous Style Of The Week: Cute Capes And Matching Gucci PursesCATEGORIES:Other Brands
When it comes to fashion and new trends, the best motto one can live by is "never say never". I've learn it a while ago, while I was in high school, and I first took interest in designer brands. Nothing is too old or too crazy to be worn and you should always play with clothes, no matter the age. And I'm not talking only about clothes; you should keep up with the trends when it comes to handbags, shoes and accessories too.
This fall's most wearable trend are capes. I know the first thing that comes in your mind is Superman or another hero but I can assure you, this is not the case. There are plenty of capes out there that deserve better and today I'm going to teach you how you can wear one in style.
Wearing a cape might have some disadvantages, because they make your waist wider but if you choose a belt within the same style and texture as the cape, you'll define the waist line and create a good proportion. A cape is also baggy so it's better to wear skinny jeans or pencil skirts and paired with high heels boots, your look will be very dynamic.
As for the handbags, well there are many to be said here but I'll stick with some Gucci purses and Marc Jacobs handbags. The first purse I want to present you is the Gucci Duilio Brogue Boston bag. This bag comes in three more colors but this burgundy one is perfect for this fall. My second choice is the Marc Jacobs Petal to the Metal purse. This black cross body bag is even more versatile and it brings a youthful touch to any outfit.
These Gucci purses and Marc Jacobs handbags presented above can be fund here, over at Club Couture. So what do you think girls? Would you wear a cape? How would you style it?

Celine Phantom Replica Purses: The Best Or What?CATEGORIES:Other Brands
It seems that Celine are the most wanted handbags, no matter if we're talking about authentic or replica purses. No wonder the Celine Luggage Tote was chosen the 2012 "IT" bag. Continuing the designer replica handbags reviews, here is another beautiful Celine replica purse.
"Hello Eva,
I wrote awhile ago about getting a 40cm beige Birkin – I haven't bought that yet – I'm still looking for the right place to buy – I think 8bags now 2013luxury may be where I get it from. Too bad PV doesn't have the one I want. In the meantime I did buy a Celine Phantom from PV. I also ordered LV Cabas Ailieurs bag, but before shipping they told me it was damaged and they refunded me the money. I was a little disappointed but overall very happy with their honesty, super fast communication and reliability. I've attached pictures of the Phantom in case you want to post to your blog. Let me know what you think.
I love it. The leather is super soft and the color is perfect. There is one area that got crinkled in shipping but I'm sure it will go away with time and use. There's also a black dot in the pressed logo, I barely notice it, but it's there.
What do you think overall – do you think it's a good replica?
I love love love your Celine bag, it's really beautiful, congrats! I zoomed in the first picture you sent me and I see the black dot but like you said, it's barely noticeable. If it's really bothering you, you can "fix" it with a bit of brown shoe polish. But be careful in choosing the right shade.
I'm so happy when I hear you are pleased with your replica purses. For all of you girls who don't know where to buy the best Celine Phantom replica purses or what PV is, here is the link to this amazing site.

Local pride for Dynamite National Day Cup
It was National Day Cup evening at Abu Dhabi on Sunday and the 1600m Group 1 Purebred Arabian National Day Cup was won by Dynamite who made all under Royston Ffrench.
The pair had also won the race back in 2006 and Dynamite was returning to the UAE after a spell racing in Qatar.
Foaled in the UAE, he is now a multiple Group 1 winner in his homeland, having also won HH The President`s Cup (2400m) in 2008.
Adam Akhbash is his current trainer and Ffrench said: "The yard were confident of a big run and assured me he had been working well. They were right and he enjoyed himself alone in front. It is a nice surprise and great to be back on the horse."
The Listed Thoroughbred version, over the same 1600m, was won by 2009 winner Jaasoos for trainer Dhruba Selvaratnam in the colours of his main patron His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
Kieren Fallon was in the saddle on this occasion (replacing William Buick who is in Mauritius) and he said: "That is a relief as we have had a few seconds lately and little went right during the race.
"We could not get any cover and were then forced very wide. I had to go for home and hit the front a bit too soon so it is a great effort by the horse and full credit to him and Dhruba for having him ready first time."
The opening race, a 1600m maiden, was won by Ma`Eror W`Rsan who finished fast and wide under Pat Cosgrave to deny long time leader Dallonni close home.
The winner is trained by Jaci Wickham. Cosgrave said: "It was only his second start and he has clearly learned a lot from his first."
Athena then won her second race of the campaign when making nearly all in a 1400m conditions race.
Trained by Ahmad Al Shamshi, she was ridden by Antioco Murgia who said: "She broke well so I was happy to race prominently. She responded well when challenged in the straight and is a tough little filly."
Eric Lemartinel has enjoyed a great start to the season and saddled yet another 1-2 in the 2200m handicap with Tadhg O`Shea winning for the second week running on Chase Me, followed home by stable companion Sestamania.
O`Shea said: "He only won a week ago so it is commendable he has followed up so quickly. He is still a big baby and was having a good look around in the straight. Hopefully there is more to come."
Stable companion Albar Lotois then doubled his account for the campaign in the concluding 1400m handicap.

Fourth line carries Predators past Rangersby Tal Pinchevsky
NEW YORK -- The Nashville Predators came to Madison Square Garden mired in a five-game losing streak in which they scored just seven goals. They snapped their skid and solved their offensive problems by getting goals from an unlikely source.
Nashville's checking line of Paul Gaustad, Matt Hendricks and Rich Clune accounted for three goals -- one by each player -- and combined for seven points to lead the Predators past the struggling New York Rangers 4-1 on Tuesday night.
Nick Spaling opened the scoring for the Predators (14-14-3) and Nashville's fourth line, affectionately known as the Wagon Line, did the rest, providing plenty of support to rookie goaltender Carter Hutton, who made 28 saves in his first start in a month.
"I've been happy with the way our line has played. We have tons of O-zone time," Clune said. "We get so much time on the forecheck and cycling pucks, you want something to drop sooner or later. Especially when you're not winning."
Rick Nash scored and Henrik Lundqvist stopped 22 shots for the Rangers (15-16-1), who fell to 0-2-1 on their franchise-record nine-game homestand that continues Thursday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Spaling's goal at 13:45 of the opening period put Nashville ahead, and the checking line doubled the lead at 17:52. With the Rangers a step late on the backcheck, Hendricks made a perfect saucer pass to a streaking Clune, who went to his backhand and beat Lundqvist.
"Hendricks made a great play. He doesn't get enough credit for his hands," Clune said. "He made a great sauce pass and laid it in for me. I just tried to power around Henrik's pad. Fortunately there was some space between Henrik's pad and the post."
Clune's goal was the game-winner and his first goal since March 28, a span of 32 games.
"I was a third-round pick once upon a time," he joked. "I was going to go upstairs under the bar but I thought I'd just keep it simple."
The goal came less than four minutes after Spaling opened the scoring. After tangling with Spaling at the side of the net, Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh lost his balance and appeared to be hurt behind the net. With McDonagh out of the play, Patric Hornqvist fed a soft pass in the slot to Spaling, who beat Lundqvist for his fifth of the season.
McDonagh didn't miss a shift, but the Rangers did lose captain Ryan Callahan, who left midway through the first period following a collision in the corner with Nashville defenseman Victor Bartley and did not return. The team said after the game that Callahan suffered a second-degree sprain of his MCL in his left knee and will be sidelined four to six weeks, marking the third time this season he will miss time due to injury.
"It's been a tough stretch for him and we all feel for him," defenseman Dan Girardi said. "Everyone has to step up a little more. He brings a lot to the team. Someone's going to have to find a way to step up for him."
Lundqvist made his biggest stop of the night with New York down 2-0 in the second and Carl Hagelin off for tripping. Matt Cullen's power-play slap shot from the left circle appeared headed for the top corner, but Lundqvist made a glove stop 4:47 into the period.
That gave the Rangers a chance to get back into the game, which they did when Nash beat Hutton at 6:38. Derick Brassard carried the puck into the Nashville zone before leaving a drop pass for Brad Richards at the blue line. With the Predators defense frozen, Richards found Nash streaking for the net. Nash went backhand-to-forehand before sliding the puck into the open left side of the net for his sixth of the season.
"Nash is a pretty good player," Hutton said. "He makes you look pretty stupid when he gets spread out there. He's got that long reach."
That line appeared energized following the goal and proceeded to carry the attack, accounting for all five of New York's even-strength shots in the second period. But the Rangers failed to muster much offense as the game wore on.
"We got beat by a team that plays a real structured game," Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. "We need to find ways to win."
New York opened the third pressing for the equalizer. But Nashville's fourth line came up big again early in the period. Gaustad drove down the right wing toward the net, Clune shoveled the loose puck towards the center of the crease during a scramble and Hendricks knocked it into a wide-open net at 2:38 for his second of the season.
"We did a pretty good job until they scored the first goal," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "They had a little push there but we were able to stabilize that as the period went on. When we got the third goal, that was huge for us."
Gaustad hit the empty net with 1:06 remaining to finish the night with three points, doubling his total for the season.
Exactly one month to the day since his last start, Hutton was sharp early, as he stopped and smothered a hard wrist shot by Michael Del Zotto from the left circle 62 seconds into the game. He also got some help from his defense, which kept the Rangers from registering their next shot for 9:03.
Brian Boyle appeared to have a wide open net with 8:10 remaining in regulation when Hagelin's shot was blocked following a Hendricks giveaway. But Hutton recovered and snared Boyle's shot with his glove.
"Especially not playing in a while, you want to get some shots and feel good. I think I did a good job tonight of handling the puck. For me, that's a way of establishing my game," Hutton said. "Going into the third, you knew they were going to come. Getting that extra goal was huge. From there, we kept them outside and we didn't give up a lot of second chances."

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The truSolar™ Working Group was established today as a collaborative consortium of 16 market leaders in the solar industry dedicated to addressing a broad array of project risks through the development of uniform standards that will facilitate lower transaction and capital costs, and improve project finance liquidity within the commercial and industrial solar segment. The founding members of truSolar™, led by Distributed Sun and DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions, are among the leaders in solar project asset management, development, financing, manufacturing, insurance and ratings agencies. Founding member companies include ABB, Assurant, Inc., Mosaic, PanelClaw, SMA America, Standard & Poor's, Booz Allen Hamilton, Rocky Mountain Institute and U.S. National Labs NREL and Sandia.
Less than 5 percent of the country's 6,500 banks and lending institutions are actively involved in financing solar projects due to ongoing concerns about, and misunderstanding, industry risks. Despite a robust market for solar installations, lenders struggle to efficiently underwrite loans in this field. In response to this problem, members of the truSolar™ Working Group are convening to develop uniform standards for solar project screening, rating and underwriting. These standards will reduce and reliably price financing risk, lower the cost of capital and broadly increase the availability of commercial lending for solar projects, helping market participants more accurately forecast asset performance throughout the lifespan of a solar project. "truSolar™ promises a market-driven solution to accelerate growth within the commercial solar segment, where common practices throughout the value-chain and adopted by development and finance can bridge the market more quickly toward securitization and solar becoming a significant asset class," said Chase Weir, chief executive officer - Distributed Sun. "We're excited to collaborate with such an extraordinary group of individuals and organizations on something so important to the solar industry."
The consortium will engage industry leaders representing key component and counterparty risk factors that best inform an industry standard screen through which a wide range of business methods, analysis tools, and related products and services from varying companies, can be applied. The initiative has been designed to foster best practices and help educate the marketplace on performance, credit and deal term risks, and encourage more reliable decision systems that tie into an industry-adopted credit screen. Industry members will provide expert, technical advice and development support. The truSolar™ working group will be administered by an independent organization, serving as the primary facilitator and credit screen developer, with financial institutions being announced by the end of this month. Distributed Sun will beta test these new practices to establish a proven, de facto commercial standard. The framework will be transferred to a standards body in 2014 and made available as open-source to the entire industry.
Members of the truSolar™ Working Group anticipate benefits to the industry:
"The truSolar™ working group is focused on developing credit evaluation tools and standards to address the challenge of increasing the supply of funding at appropriate risk premiums to the commercial solar segment," said Steve Dreyer, managing director - Standard & Poor's. "The truSolar™ group has identified what we believe to be the key issues of concern for lenders."
"Accurately forecasting the levelized cost of solar energy requires reliable components and precise performance data integrated into decision-making frameworks like truSolar™," added Henry Dziuba, president - SMA America.
"Predictable cash flows rely upon overall system and asset performance," agrees Costa Nicolaou, CEO, PanelClaw North America. "truSolar™ is the sum that can be greater than its parts, and a timely business innovation for a rapidly maturing solar marketplace."
"Like our peers, Assurant is committed to ensuring the continued growth of the solar industry. The adoption of uniform industry standards will help us achieve that goal by making it easier for banks to finance more projects," said Jeanne Schwartz, vice president of new venture commercialization - Assurant.
"This work is a natural complement to our efforts with the Department of Energy and the national laboratories in finance innovation," says Greg Rosen, chief investment officer - Mosaic. "truSolar™ is vital to lending reliably against solar asset cash flows and to the industry."
"With truSolar™ we hope to drive higher adoption rates of solar PV by delivering the benefits of a smart Grid to both the consumer and the utility," adds Bob Stojanovic, director of Solar Power NA at ABB.
truSolar™ members are uniquely positioned to impact marketplace adoption. With market leaders and leading innovators in smart-grids, smart cities, development platforms, business intelligence tools, big data, document standardization, crowdfunding and more, the initiative has the potential to accelerate distributed generation broadly and globally.
About truSolar™
truSolar™ is an industry-driven standard for project selection, underwriting and approval. It involves an underwriting process that rigorously tests and identifies higher yield, lower risk solar investment opportunities. The system works to reduce project failure before, during and after construction, and increases the bankability of the industry's solar pipeline. truSolar™ is designed to mitigate events of default and business interruption from power off-takers with unrated – less than investment grade – credit. By scoring project performance, site profile and counterparty risk criteria with sophisticated rating tools, truSolar™ provides a framework to lower capital costs and support trade credit insurance for power-purchase-agreement revenues.

Extra! Extra! Berlingske Media balances production, demand
Berlingske Media, Denmark's largest news publishing group, publishes nearly 15 national, regional, daily and weekly newspapers. While providing balanced news coverage to Danish readers, Berlingske uses SAS® Forecast Server to strike the right balance between the amount of papers it produces and consumer demand – helping the media giant decrease production costs, reduce stock-outs and surplus, minimize lost sales and increase its margins.
Automation reduces manual processes and corrections regarding delivery .... Five years ago we made many manual changes, but 80-90% of the changes lost us money.
Bjorn Nedergaard Jensen
The need for better forecasting
Limitations of the old forecasting system allowed for tracking sales only – not demand. Berlingske couldn't factor in seasonality and other variables, and discovering trends was a manual process.
The media company needed a flexible forecasting solution that could consolidate aggregated data at the top level – and at the retailer level – to determine its production and delivery numbers.
In-depth analysis, accurate reports
Today, Berlingske runs 15,000 time-series analyses related to its combined products and retailers to forecast demand for the week ahead. Applying three years of sales data, SAS identifies the best model to apply to the data to make discoveries such as seasonality effects.
SAS harnesses SAP data on retailers, publications and sales to better forecast production and delivery. Berlingske can recalculate models each week based on sales numbers to forecast future delivery requirements.
As its usage evolves, Berlingske expects to factor in data from campaigns, such as bundling newspaper sales with other retailer products and TV advertising, to better understand the effect of the campaigns and the variations in sales.
Headline-grabbing results
In a short time, Berlingske Media reduced its paper returns with little impact on sales and has realized improved margins. Delivery was reduced by 12 percent in a four-month period, with only a slight decrease in sales. Compared to the same period in the previous year, returns fell by 3 percent, with lost sales unchanged.
The company says the savings in delivery are considerably higher than the value of lost sales. Each percentage point saved in returns reduces costs by DKK 1 million (about US$174,000) per year, assuming lost sales decrease or stay the same. Payback on the solution is estimated at under one year.
Consolidate data to determine demand and sales trends, in an effort to increase its margins.
Reduced delivery volume, maintained sales and achieved higher margins, and saw a payback on the solution within the first year.

Royals rally in the eighth to beat Rangers 6-2
Ryan Braun needed 25 appearances before he collected his first major league victory, but it was worth the wait.
Braun pitched 2 2-3 innings of two-hit shutout relief and Mark Teahen drove in the tiebreaking run on an eighth-inning fielder's choice as the Kansas City Royals beat Texas 6-2 Thursday night to snap the Rangers' three-game winning streak.
John Buck added a three-run double in the four-run eighth.
"It took a little longer than I was hoping, but luckily, things happened," Braun said. "I was able mainly to just get ahead of the hitters a lot quicker than some other outings this year. I was able to get them to swing at the first pitch and get some early outs."
Braun worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the fifth, retiring Marlon Byrd on a fly ball to end the threat. He allowed only two singles during a critical part of the game and was the pitcher of record when the Royals broke through in the eighth.
"Braun was outstanding," Royals manager Buddy Bell said. "Our pitching's has really been pretty doggone good. (Braun) is a kid with a good arm. We need to bring him in situations like this, rather than mop-up situations, so we can see what he's got. Really, he was about as good as he could get tonight. We needed it too."
With the game tied at 2, the Royals got themselves in position for Braun's victory when they put runners on first and third in the eighth against reliever Willie Eyre on consecutive singles by Mark Grudzielanek and Billy Butler.
Teahen hit a chopper to first baseman Brad Wilkerson, who threw to the plate. But Grudzielanek slid around the tag of catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia for the go-ahead run.
Rangers manager Ron Washington said Saltalamacchia was in the proper position despite being an inexperienced major league catcher.
"He was trying to make sure he got the ball and Grudzielanek got by him," Washington said. "Grudzielanek made the play by being aggressive. We were inches away from getting out of the inning."
Kansas City went on to load the bases in the eighth and Buck cleared them with his double to right-center, giving the Royals a 6-2 advantage.
Buck had been in a 2-for-16 slump before the double.
"We made some adjustments because teams are just junk-balling me to death," Buck said.
Alex Gordon homered for the Royals and Grudzielanek had three hits for Kansas City.
Eyre (4-6) gave up four runs and three hits in two-thirds of an inning.
Washington had limited bullpen options. His top three relievers _ Frank Francisco, Joaquin Benoit and C.J. Wilson _ were unavailable because of a recent heavy workload.
"We had to get someone else to step up," Washington said. "Willie got some ground balls that found holes and then left one up to Buck."
Rangers spot starter John Rheinecker pitched into the eighth inning. He was the fill-in for scheduled starter Brandon McCarthy, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday due to a stress fracture in his right shoulder.
Rheinecker gave up two runs and six hits, struck out two and walked three in 7 1-3 innings.
The Royals got a run in the first on Butler's RBI groundout. Frank Catalanotto tied it at 1 when he hit starter Leo Nunez's second pitch into the right field seats for his ninth homer of the season.
Texas went ahead 2-1 in the fifth when Saltalamacchia and David Murphy led off with singles to put runners on first and third. Ian Kinsler drove in Saltalamacchia with a sharp single off reliever John Bale.
Kansas City drew even in the seventh on Gordon's solo homer, his 11th of the season.
Nunez left the game in the fourth inning with a torn callous on his right thumb.
With the game tied at 1, Nunez gave up a leadoff infield single to Marlon Byrd that struck the back of Nunez's right knee.
He then threw two balls to Wilkerson before Bell and team trainer Nick Swartz went to the mound to check on the converted reliever, who was making his fourth major league start.
The problem was with Nunez's thumb, not his leg, and he was replaced by Bale.
Notes:@ Heavy rain started falling in the top of the fourth with the game tied at 1. Play was suspended before the Rangers could come to bat in the bottom of the fourth, but the shower was brief and the game resumed after a 22-minute delay. … Catalanotto led off the game with a homer for the seventh time in his career and second time this season. …Wilkerson struck out four times against four different pitchers.

I found channels that SD supports in one lineup, but that are missing in another. For example French channel "LCP" id 53760 is not in the lineup "ZZZ-19.2E-DEFAULT" even though the channel is freely available on this satellite. Same with Korean "Arirang" channel, but I don't know on which European lineup I had found it.
And I think it would be good to have some more lineups of already existing channels, especially for satellite. For example European Hotbird 13°E has channels from Italy, Germany, Switzerland, France and others. I find it difficult to get as much of these channels as possible with adding only few lineups. I added a Swiss cable lineup to get schedules for this European satellite.

I'm sitting in the Jet Blue terminal at JFK airport after an excellent first trip to New York City on the wine schlep. Meaning, I have a distributor selling my wine in Manhattan and I enjoyed the opportunity to work the local market for the first time. More on that soon enough.
While I wait, and undoubtedly for the hours of my long flight back to Portland, I'm reading Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs, highly recommended to me by my brother-in-law. So far I've only managed to read the introduction, but I was struck by Isaacson's recounting of how and apparently why Jobs chose him to write the book.
Jobs apparently thought Isaacson was good at getting people to talk, to open up. And despite occasional misgivings, Jobs professed he had nothing to hide. He wasn't always proud of what he'd done but said there weren't any skeletons in the closet. Jobs wanted Isaacson to tell the whole story.
That's what I want to do with grapes. I want to get them to talk, to open up, to listen to them. I want to tell their story, not mine. It's not a new thought for a winemaker to resist making his or her own stamp on thing, and of course any winemaker or biographer still has a fundamental impact on the final product. Our names go on it after all. I've just never thought of winemaking as biography until now. I want to think more about that, but I like it for now.
Time to board. More on the NYC trip in a few installments. Trips to wine shops around town, a pouring at Chambers Street Wines, and the most ridiculous dinner at Picholine last night that I won't soon forget. I love New York.

My name is Michele and I'm the owner and Soapstress at the Funky Chunks Soap Company. My love of soap started at a very young age. I was introduced to soapmaking as a small child by my Great Grandmother. Her experiments with soapmaking were never dull and sometimes quite dangerous. She used leftover soap bits, oils and colognes to create some very interesting, if not downright ugly soaps. Those ugly soaps were truly amazing! Even as a small child I knew that handmade soap was something special…and so my love of handmade soap was born.
I started making soap after a conversation with a friend. We were both disappointed with the quality and prices of a certain unnamed soap retailer that we frequented. The conversation ended with me announcing that I could make a much better soap at home. I went back to my childhood memories of handmade soap for inspiration, tweaked and old family recipe and that's when Funky Chunks was born.
We pride ourselves on paying attention to all of the little details. Funky Chunks uses only high quality vegetable oils in our soap production. We make all of our soaps in small batches to bring you the freshest soaps possible. All of our soaps are Vegan friendly and have fragrant big bubble lather that is kind and gentle to your skin. We strive to create products that will give you an amazing shower and bath experience. We gather the inspiration for our soap scents from many places. We love to capture the local colors and scents of the Jersey Shore. We also draw from our childhood memories to create some of our more unique fragrance combinations. Our soaps are bright, bold and fragrant. Every day at Funky Chunks is creative and fun and we hope that our soaps bring a little of that excitement to our customers.
We joined the HSMG originally for insurance coverage. It didn't take us long to discover that the HSMG was so much more! The resources, networking and community have become invaluable to us. I'm positive that they have been instrumental in the growth of Funky Chunks. We wouldn't be where we are today without them.

On a more personal note: Michele is an aging punk rock princess from Cleveland that now lives at the Jersey Shore with her punk rock prince and her Siamese cat, Indiana Jones. She is a voracious reader, foodie, music lover and soap addict. She left a 15 year career in retail management to start the Funky Chunks Soap Company.
Michele is also deeply involved in her local community. She is a proud supporter of PassionWorks and donates 20% of the proceeds of online sales to help the less fortunate and homeless in her local area. You ROCK Michele!
