All prices shown on the Website are inclusive of VAT (where applicable) at the current rates and are correct at the time of entering the information onto the system.

Any such additional charges must be borne by you. You should note that customs policies and practices vary widely from country to country. We recommend that you contact your local customs office for more information.
Payment can be made by any major credit or debit card. Payment will be debited and cleared from your account before the dispatch of your good or provision of the service to you.

We always try and ensure that the prices of goods shown on our Website are accurate, but occasionally genuine errors may occur.
If we discover an error in the price of the goods that you have ordered we will let you know as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it.

You confirm that the credit, debit card or PayPal account that is being used is yours. All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorization by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to or does not, for any reason, authorize payment to us we will not be liable to you for any delay or non-delivery.
We allow you to use discount codes strictly on the terms and conditions upon which they were issued which, amongst other things, may include terms relating to your eligibility to use them and a maximum order value.

Here's how the D10 candidates responded. The first column shows the candidate name. The next five show whether the candidate supports each of the listed propositions, all considered key propositions in the election. Then I show the number of positions which match those I listed in this blog. Finally, I show the percent in agreement.
A lot goes into making a good candidate. For example, the San Francisco Bike Coalition supports Eric Smith for his strong support of the City bike plan. However, I think it's pretty clear from this Kristine Enea is going to appear on my ballot on Tuesday.

Winter road salting reshapes next summer's butterflies
Anti-ice treatments can have sex-specific effects
Seney Natural History Association/Flickr (CC BY-SA 2.0)
Salting roads in winter can tweak the physiques of butterflies the next summer.
Milkweeds and oaks, plants that caterpillars graze on, collected from alongside a country road carried higher sodium concentrations than the same species growing at least 100 meters from the splash and drift of deicing salt, says Emilie Snell-Rood of the University of Minnesota in St. Paul.
Monarch (Danaus plexippus) caterpillars raised on the sodium-boosted plants turned into males with extra thoracic muscles and females with bigger eyes and probably bigger brains than butterflies reared on the more distant foliage, Snell-Rood and her colleagues found. A different butterfly, the cabbage white, echoed these his-and-hers effects when reared on a sodium-boosted lab diet, researchers report June 9 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
So is road salt good for butterflies? "I do

"American Psycho" author Bret Easton Ellis has written an open letter to director Kathryn Bigelow to apologize for making scathing remarks about her on Twitter.com.
The novelist-screenwriter incurred the wrath of followers on the social networking website earlier this month when he appeared to mock "The Hurt Locker" moviemaker's abilities, writing, "Kathryn Bigelow would be considered a mildly interesting filmmaker if she was a man but since she's a very hot woman she's really overrated."
He later added, "I still believe that if 'The Hurt Locker' had been directed by a man it would not have won the Oscar for Best Director."
Ellis has now written an open letter to the Oscar-winner titled 'An apology to Kathryn Bigelow' to make amends for the tweets.
In the note, published on Thedailybeast.com, Ellis writes, "(I was) just wanting to have fun and be a bit of a provocateur in 140 characters. And then realizing… err, that's not really fun or that provocative. It goes beyond d**chiness into another more insensitive realm…
"I don't want to hurt anybody. And I'm not even saying that Kathryn Bigelow was hurt or even noticed the tweets or even cared… The outcry over the Bigelow tweets was eye opening to me in a way that nothing else has ever been. I got it. I heard it. I looked back at what I was doing with those tweets… and I have to admit they simply backfired. Which is why I'm writing this. No one asked me to write this. I simply write something like this when I'm in pain. And I've been slowly feeling a painfulness when reading all of the articles reacting to those tweets."
He goes on to insist he will be taking a break from Twitter over the holidays and hopes to return to the website in the new year, adding, "I'm taking a bit of a break from Twitter – not fully, not all the time, just over the holidays – until I see Kathryn Bigelow's new movie. And then, perhaps, we can start all over again."

Staff writer
Not many people chose to wake up before 6 a.m. on the weekends after working 40 hours, but Brandon Wyss of Florence does. Wyss lives for this time of year because he is an avid hunter, and bow-hunting season for deer kicked off Sept. 16.
"I wouldn't say waking up that early is pleasing, but it's nice to get away from everything and enjoy the quiet," he said.
Wyss said he has been preparing for this season since the end of the last.
"I've been setting out trail cams and feeders since January rolled around," he said.
Since Wyss began scouting his hunting grounds around Marion Reservoir, he has seen some large bucks he hopes to tag this season.
"My best buck was a nine-point, but I'm looking at changing that this season," he said.
Wyss said there are more deer to hunt this year than last.
"There's 10 times more deer out there than last year, but they won't start really moving around until late October early November," he said.
Because of the population increase, Wyss participates in population control on several of his hunting properties by using tags to shoot a doe.
"Deer usually drop twins," he said. "So I usually try to take two does to every buck to balance things out."
Travis Hett of Marion also has had a passion for hunting since a young age.
"Hunting is such a passion for me because it's how I was raised," he said. "Being outdoors and staying active is a big part of my life. There's so much true beauty in the outdoors that people simply don't see because they aren't hunters."
He said it is a great way for him to share time with family and friends and to create memories that will last forever.
"You can always look back at a hunt and remember it like it was yesterday," he said. "It's a great time to sit and listen to what God has to offer from Mother Nature and self reflection."
He said bow season is his favorite hunting season.
"Nothing can beat the adrenaline rush of drawing back on a trophy whitetail," he said. "You can't even explain the feeling you get it's like your heart is about ready to beat out of your chest."

Make Your Cover Letter Count in a Competitive Job Market
by Rachel Kaschner | May 29, 2009
Today's blog is written by Kelli Robinson from JobWeb.
Today's primary modes of communication are e-mail, text messages, and web pages. The job search process is no different. Most job searches are done on the Internet, and job seekers e-mail their resumes or complete online applications.
Given these facts: Are cover letters still necessary?
While the answer varies, the majority of human resource representatives and recruiters say yes. Done the right way, a cover letter can capture the second glance needed in a competitive job market.
There are two tips for crafting a catchy cover letter: follow the formula and personalize it.
Tip #1: Follow the formula
Cover letters contain four components with one essential question answered in each.
Paragraph One – Introduction
Who are you and why are you writing?
Paragraph Two – Highlight of Qualifications
How has your education, previous employment, or other experiences repared you for the position?
Paragraph Three – Connection to the Company
Why is this company or job a good fit for you?
Paragraph Four – Closing Statement
How interested are you and where can you be reached for an interview?
Tip #2: Personalize it
Paragraphs one and four follow standard formats. The opportunity for your application to connect with a recruiter is in paragraphs two and three.
Paragraph Two: Draw attention to yourself
When you read the job description and you declared, "I'm perfect for this job!" Tell the recruiter why. Is it because of a particular course you studied? Did you complete an internship that allowed you to perform similar duties and responsibilities? Were you able to develop a skill set through a part-time job or campus activity that is applicable to this position?
Make the connection between your past and this job. Don't repeat your resume, but rather make reference to items on it that you especially want the recruiter to be aware of.
Paragraph Three: "Professional Flattery"
Your job search will reveal many positions for which you are qualified, but not all of them are of interest. What makes this position or company different? Pinpoint specifics about the job description that catch your eye. Research the organization. If the company product or workplace philosophy is appealing, tell the recruiter why.
Avoid empty compliments. Recruiters can spot meaningless sweet talk a mile away.
Pitfalls to Avoid
Applicants sometimes forget professionalism, and even common sense, when it comes to e-mailing and the job search. If your e-mail contains any of the following, hit the delete button.
- A risqué e-mail address. Use a basic e-mail address comprised of your name, initials, or something similar. Save email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com for corresponding with friends.
- Greeting the recruiter by their first name. If you know the recruiter's name, don't forget that Mr. or Ms. is still necessary. Just because Ms. Jane Doe lists her first name doesn't mean you can call her Jane.
- A salutation that doesn't begin with "Dear." This is a business letter. Beginning the correspondence with "Greetings," "Hello," or "Hi There!" is not acceptable.
- :) 8) :( Emoticons. Emoticons are used to convey attitudes or emotions, both of which are irrelevant in a cover letter.
- Acronyms. LOL, COB, FAQs. As with emoticons, acronyms have no place in job-search correspondence, unless they are standard acronyms, such as that used for a company or association. For example: NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers) is appropriate. "The 411 about NACE is very positive" is not.
"The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense."

Christmas Gift Ideas For Teens And Women Under 21: Replica Bags Every Girl Would Love!Categories:Other Brands
I have to admit, I haven't paid that much attention to replica bags choices for teenage girls or boys. But then I realized that teens have become very fashion-conscious and they're not all about colorful stuff and butterflies.
So I decided to dedicate this post to finding some inspired Christmas gift ideas for teens. Hope you'll enjoy it!
Maybe you were wondering when it occurred to me that teens have become an important group for replica bags. Well, it was enough to see my cousins being super passionate about fashion (maybe they got that for auntie Eva, who knows :P) but it was also all the teen girls I've seen on the street who are so well-dressed you could think they just got out of Paris Fashion Week! And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that like it's a bad thing!
I read somewhere that "a purse is useful, a designer handbag is for show" but then again, doesn't this apply to the rest of us as well? The brand is important and so are the values and the status it brings. Teens who love luxury brands should not be called "brats" like some people call them. And since we're talking replica bags, let's not forget that you don't have to pay thousands for them. So what's left then: well, a brand you value and a style you love, just like for the rest of us!
Christmas Gift Ideas For Teens – Use The Holiday Promotions!
And since saving up is really important during this time of the year, you might as well take advantage of the Christmas promotions and also the ones on Fallin2fashion4.com or E8baggss.net. With the PurseValley Christmas promotion you will get a free gift on every order while the other two replica sites are offering different discounts depending on how big your order is.
Maybe some of you will consider that teens shouldn't even wear designer bags. But then again, why not? If wearing the bag to school could be a problem, I don't see why a teen girl couldn't wear it on her free time. I think that a teen or a really young woman would know how to appreciate this kind of gift and wouldn't throw it at the back of her closet! A designer replica bag for the most special occasions in her life, I don't see why anyone should have a problem with that!
My Christmas gift ideas for teens revolve around replica bags and I definitely think that a replica bag is a great gift for every woman, no matter her age. The important thing about it is that it should express the owner's personality and sense of style. I think that teenagers in particular feel the need to develop and outline a unique style, so if you're thinking about buying a replica bag for a teenage girl take that into account! As for a teenage boy, I think that a replica designer backpack, a wallet or a belt would make for great Christmas gifts.
My Christmas gift ideas for teens do not include big structured totes or bags that are too flashy but rather discreetly branded replica luxury bags without obvious logos.
Christmas Gift Ideas For Teens And Women Under 21 – Best Replica Bags Choices
So anyway, here is my list of Christmas gift ideas for teens and women under 21. If you have a teen daughter, sister, friend or so on, I'd looove to hear what she has to say about my picks! But don't get me wrong, I don't see these replica bags as bags only teenagers would or should wear! I would wear all of them! But I thought about size, colors, functionality and the occasions where a teen would wear them and these bags made all the sense in the world:
Gucci Soho Mini Shoulder Bag or the Gucci Soho Disco Bag replica – these Gucci replica bags are small, chic, perfect for a lovely night out but also great during day. Just look how well this bag complements the casual outfit of Emma Roberts. And they are quite affordable as well, I might add!
Louis Vuitton Replica Louise Epi Bags – These bags are also small and easy to carry around as the strap is long enough to be worn across the body and the colors are just lovely! I would choose it in one of the pastel colors, the yellow, the light pink or the corail.
LV Replica Petite-Malle Trunk – I know, this Louis Vuitton replica bag features Monogram Canvas but I think it's still subtle enough. And it's an amazing bag choice for special night events or even for the New Year's Eve party!
Valentino Rockstud Backpack – comfortable, fun, cool, the ultimate teen bag choice.
Celine Nano knockoff – if Kylie Jenner can wear it, why wouldn't your teenage girl/sister/etc. wear it as well? Joking! But really now, this Celine replica bag is just amazing, you can wear it almost anywhere and it has a unique appeal it's really difficult to ignore.
Valentino Glam Lock Flap Bag – also quite an eye-catching replica bag that can make even the simplest outfit look special. The bag is not too out there but the signature pyramid studs sure make this bag unique.
Gucci Bamboo replica backpack – an all-leather backpack that doesn't have any sort of branding except the Bamboo details only connoisseurs will be able to recognize. The fringes give it a fun twist and the functionality a backpack brings is priceless! A backpack that just couldn't miss from this Christmas gift ideas for teens guide!
If you feel like a replica bag is too expensive, there are other options the replica market has for us, such as replica jewelry, replica watches, some nice colorful Louis Vuitton bag charms or the crazy fun Fendi Monster charms! The only thing I am completely against is buying replica cosmetics or perfumes! Please stay away from those!
I would really like to know your opinion: do you think these are good Christmas gift ideas for teens? Leave your comment below!

Anthropologist James G. Matlock , known for his writings about reincarnation and other topics, is offering an online course entitled Signs of Reincarnation. Dr. Matlock describes the course as follows:
Dr. James G. Matlock
"Signs of Reincarnation is a 15-week online seminar course offered through The Alvarado Zingrone Institute for Research and Education. The course is an interdisciplinary offering that draws on anthropology, consciousness studies, and psychical research, among other fields. It is designed as a graduate-level course to introduce enrollees to academic research on reincarnation (chiefly by Ian Stevenson and his colleagues) and presupposes some acquaintance with academic argument and the scientific method."
Dr. Ian Stevenson
"The course covers all aspects of research on reincarnation, including reincarnation beliefs, methods of case investigation, findings from investigations, and the interpretation of those findings. It includes original lectures as well as readings from the reincarnation and larger scientific literature and involves participation through discussion among enrollees. It is self-paced with an estimated time commitment of 6-8 hours per week, including discussion periods."
The course, running from May 26 to September 7 of 2014, includes such varied topics as belief in reincarnation, studies with children, hypnotic regression, theory, and much more (for a detailed syllabus click here). You will find information about the price of the course, and about its schedule, and registration here. For additional questions write to Dr. Matlock (email@example.com).

Giving women in Asia more opportunities to secure decent, productive work will have major social and economic spinoffs for the region and is essential for inclusive growth, say a series of new studies from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
"Attitudes towards providing decent work for men and women, irrespective of their background, continue to be ambiguous, complex, and controversial," said Imrana Jalal, Senior Social Development Specialist in ADB's Regional and Sustainable Development Department. "However, there is ample evidence to show that providing equitable employment opportunities, remuneration, and treatment of the sexes is important for social justice and smart economics."
The five interlinked publications analyze and make suggestions for improving gender equality in the labor markets in Cambodia, Kazakhstan and the Philippines. They also examine global best practices in law and social and economic policies, which have helped encourage greater equality in the workforce.
The economies of Cambodia, Kazakhstan and the Philippines have grown strongly in recent years but this has not translated into real improvement in gender equality, with the proportion of women's annual earnings to men's estimated at less than 71%. Substantial gaps still exist between men and women across a number of metrics including labor force participation rates, unpaid domestic and care work, and access to decent work and social protection resources such as pension plans.
In Kazakhstan the gender wage gap is substantial, while in the Philippines the low labor force participation rate of women, combined with the high national population, represents a substantial underutilization of women's labor in the paid workforce. In Cambodia there are pronounced quantitative differences between men and women in terms of literacy and years of schooling.
The three-country study highlights some positive steps being taken, including the development of employment targets, but notes that none of the economies recognize gender equality as a specific macroeconomic goal in their national development plans.
To narrow the gender gap, countries need to increase the involvement of women in technical and vocational education and training programs, including in non-traditional areas. Governments also need to find ways of providing more social protection for workers in the informal sector, which includes large numbers of women. Stronger laws that lock in the concept of equal pay for work of equal value are needed, particularly for Kazakhstan and Cambodia, and simple, effective mechanisms should be put in place to allow women to seek redress for discrimination and sexual harassment in the workplace.
More gender mainstreaming and gender-specific programs and targets, including the development of sex-disaggregated data, are required to tackle the barriers women face in finding productive, decent jobs and getting higher paid management positions.

The theme for this year's summer cabin weekend was "Lets burn everything!!". Stefanie burned the pizza bread, Heather burned the bacon, and I burned the crap out of $150.00 worth of spare ribs. I have made these before, on the same grill, under the same conditions, but this year just wasn't my year. I think this grill hasn't really been cleaned thoroughly since about 1972, and there were uncontrollable grease fires, which then led to very unstable temperatures. I thought after the first two rounds of: fire-take the ribs off the grill-tame the fire-put the ribs back on the grill-try to get the grill hot again, that we were golden. Oh boy was I wrong. I put the ribs into stage two: wrapped with tin foil with liquids for steaming and went and played a very competitive game of bocce ball. When I came back about 45 minutes later, they were burnt to a crisp, stuck to the tin foil.
It was awful. This is something I am usually good at, and not only did I screw it up, they looked inedible. After a few tears, a LOT of swearing, and a large glass of wine to calm me down, I told someone to grab me two sheet pans and 8 forks. My team got to work, pulling the burnt bits off, and shredding the rest of the meat that was salvageable. I tossed all the meat with the vat of glaze that was supposed to go on during phase three, and put them back on the grill to bake for about an hour. The rest of the cooking went off without a hitch, smashed potatoes and cheesy corn rounded out the meal.
The verdict? It tasted exactly the same as last year, but now you could eat it with a fork, which I personally think is much less fun than tearing it off the bone with your teeth. It did however, make for a less messy and more civilized meal, but all I cared about was saving dinner. I mean, there isn't exactly a large selection of take-out places in Cumberland, WI. Most of all, I was happy to be with my best friends in the world, enjoying and laughing about yet another meal that almost didn't happen.
The best part of the shredded rib meat? Making sandwiches the next day. The ribs have a lot of Asian flavors in the glaze and the rub, so I made a big 'ol batch of this spicy cilantro coleslaw. Put the two together and you have some of the best sandwiches ever. Make this coleslaw regardless though, it is seriously amazing.
Spicy Asian Coleslaw
adapted from Kalyn's Kitchen
**This makes an absolute ridiculous amount of slaw, so I mix all the veggies, onions, and cilantro and freeze half of it for a later date.
Also, I use my food processor to shred all the vegetables. You can core and cut the cabbage into 2-inch slices then put though the slicer blade. I then use the slicer blade for the peas, and the grater blade for the carrots. If you don't have a food processor, you can just chop and grate everything by hand, it will just take longer.**
1 head green cabbage, shredded
4-5 medium carrots, shredded
1 bag sugar snap peas, sliced thinly
1 bunch green onions, white and green parts sliced thinly
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 cup peanuts, chopped
4 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
4 teaspoons sesame oil
4 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sriracha (a spicy red chili paste that you should have in your fridge at all times, trust me)
1/2 cup canola or peanut oil
Combine all shredded vegetables with the green onions and cilantro in a large bowl. In a small mixing bowl combine the vinegar, honey, mustard, sesame oil, soy sauce, sriracha, and peanut oil, and whisk to emulsify.
If you are making this for a large group, you can dress the cabbage mixture and toss with the peanuts right before serving. If you are making this for yourself and plan on eating it for lunch all week like I do, you can store the cabbage mixture in one container, the dressing separately, and the peanuts in a ziploc bag. I only combine what I am going to be eating immediately before consumption. This allows you to store your slaw for much, much longer than if you mix it all together, as cabbage can get soggy quickly.
You can eat a big bowl of this on its own, add some grilled chicken, or top your shredded rib meat on a french roll with it like I did. This winter, if you ever have leftover braised beef, this would be a great way to liven up your leftovers.
When something goes very wrong in the kitchen, keep calm (I myself don't usually take that advice, I admit) and get creative. Know that it will still probably be delicious, and if not, well you have a funny story to tell later. If anyone has any kitchen disasters that turned into a triumph, please let me know in the comments!

Corruption and economic turmoil often go hand-in-hand. In western nations like the
and many European
countries, we often see corruption come to light as the result of whistleblowers or journalistic
efforts. But in many other areas of the world, however, corruption
plays a major role in fostering staggering poverty and broken economic systems in
a much more blatant way. United States
Oftentimes, specific power structures and government architectures provide an easier means for corrupt politicians, businessmen, or military officials to exploit the system. Many governments have their roots in constitutions from generations ago, and have outgrown their current systems. Many other countries are ruled by a variety of independent tribal leaders and often lack a centralized power structure with any meaningful sway.
Transparency International developed a comprehensive list of the world's most corrupt nations last year, and the countries that top the list probably won't come as much of a surprise to many. The study ranks countries on a scale from 0 to 100, with zero being the most corrupt, and 100 being the least.
Of course, corruption comes in a variety of forms, so getting a precise gauge is difficult. But perception itself is a very strong tool, and can have a big effect on its own. If the study reveals anything, it's that the world overall has a huge issue in terms of corrupt officials. By looking at the Corruptions Perception Index, along with the existing power structures and economic systems within each country, the picture does become a bit clearer. That's why we dug a little deeper, examining the rankings for ourselves.
Although not among the top ten, we've included the
United States on the list to give perspective as
to where
ranks internationally in terms of corruption and economic strife. By
Transparency International's calculations and scale, the America U.S. is sitting fairly pretty, although it's
common knowledge that there are definitely issues with how things are run in . Other
countries you might expect to see like Washington Russia,
Mexico, or all
have their places as well, and the full list of 177 nations can be viewed
straight at the source from Transparency International. Venezuela

The Cleveland Browns reportedly tried to trade quarterback Colt McCoy during the draft. It didn't work, so the team kept him on the roster throughout the offseason.
Tony Grossi of ESPNCleveland.com writes Friday: "When Weeden was drafted, I was told by an NFL source that the Browns didnât want to 'pile on' McCoy and just release him. They were sensitive to the fact he had gotten such a raw deal already."
Mike Holmgren talked about that "raw deal" on Thursday.
"I think (Colt's) a wonderful young man, and a good football player," Holmgren said. "And if you are asking me to say was it fair last year? He had a tough go and he didnât get as much help as I thought he was going to get. But heck, thatâs football.â
Translation: Thanks for trying. It wasn't enough.
Seneca Wallace can't imagine there being enough room for him and McCoy on the roster. Wallace knows things. Holmgren is likely to look for a way out for McCoy.
"They would like to find McCoy a new team, a new opportunity, to spare him the ignominy of being released. They will not demand much in a trade," Grossi writes.
A conditional late-round pick would probably get it done. We'd be on that happening. The Browns are trying to do McCoy a favor, but it doesn't do the 2012 Browns much of a favor to have this story drag out through August.
UPDATE: NFL.com analyst Daniel Jeremiah reported Saturday the Browns are asking for little in return for McCoy.
According to sources, the Browns are shopping Colt McCoy and looking for minimal compensation.â Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) June 16, 2012

Watch a Brazilian woman in a Fiat wagon crash her car trying to run over a pissed-off motorcyclist not once, but twice.
Sadly, we miss the initial offense when the Fiat driver cut off the bike at a red light, but we do get to see the biker kick the woman's car and the woman strike the biker both times. Our favorite moment is when the motorcyclist wrestles the keys out of the crashed car, presumably to keep the driver from trying to run him down a third time.
Somehow, no one was hurt in the incident.

MEQUON, Wis. - The Concordia University Wisconsin men's and women's track & field teams will kick off the 2012 season this Saturday, when they'll travel to Kenosha, Wis. to take part in the State Private College Invite at Carthage College.
The Falcons started the indoor season at this same meet last season, in which the women's team finished fourth and men's team placed fifth.
Head coach Russ DeLap is excited for this season to get started, and says a number of his student-athletes have a chance to have major success in 2012.
"This season looks very promising," DeLap said. "We have a record number of student-athletes with 75, and there are many who I believe will be towards the top of our conference in their specific events."
Both the men's and women's squads are coming off successful 2011 campaigns that featured record-setting performances on both sides.
On the men's side, the 4x200m Relay consisting of seniors Alex Pawlak (Colgate, Wis.) and Justin Rogers (Milwaukee, Wis.) and sophomores Jonny Balsman (Rockford, Ill.) and Sean Pawlak (Germantown, Wis.) set the CUW school record with a time of 1:31.56 at the Eastbay/Pointer Invitational last February.
Senior Vincent Greefkes (Jackson, Wis.) also had a big year, setting indoor school records in the 55m Hurdles (7.74 seconds) and the 60m Hurdles (8.38 seconds).
Greefkes also broke the outdoor school record in the 110m Hurdles with a time of 15.03 seconds at the Carroll University Invitational last April.
For the women, sophomore Kristin Sitte (Greenfield, Wis.) set an indoor program record in the 55m Hurdles, finishing in 9.54 seconds at last year's Northern Athletics Conference Championships.
Sitte also set an outdoor school record in the 100m Hurdles (17.02 seconds), and was part of the record-setting 4x400m Relay team (4:10.02) that included sophomores Maxine Blohowiak (Green Bay, Wis.) and Jessica Henning (Springfield, Ill.), as well as former Falcon Sara Wollner.
In order for his teams to achieve more success this season, DeLap knows that staying healthy will be critical.
"We have the opportunity to do some great things this year," DeLap said. "The key will be to progress our training in such a fashion that will keep the injuries at a minimum, and then have the team peak for indoor and outdoor conference."
Last season, the women's team finished second at the Indoor NAC Championships, falling behind only Aurora University.
The Falcon men finished third at indoor conference, and were just one point away from earning a second-place tie with Aurora.
DeLap, in his second year with the program, says the NAC is only getting better, and that the Falcons will need to stay consistent if they hope to be near the top again this season.
"The NAC continues to grow and the other teams will be bigger and better as well," DeLap said. "Nothing is given and we will have to earn everything. But I can feel good things coming our way as long as we continue to grow and work hard; I am really excited about our team and where we are heading."
Friday's meet will begin at 3 p.m. inside the Tarble Athletic and Recreation Center.
