The RSL Reserves would get on the board first in the 17th minute when Clint Mathis stepped up to take a 35-yard free kick and his rocket of a shot soared past Colorado 'keeper Chris Sharpe into the upper corner to give the home side the opening tally.
Nine minutes later it was Movsisyan doing the damage for RSL as he accepted a square ball from Alex Nimo cut past a defender and slotted home just inside the left post from the top of the box.
Ciaran O'Brien would almost match Mathis' effort from distance in the 39th minute but his shot sailed just over the crossbar.
A minute later it was Movsisyan striking again. Robbie Findley who appeared to be offside brought the ball into the Rapids' penalty area but his effort was saved by Sharpe before Movsisyan put in the rebound.
In the 42nd minute it was Findley scoring one of his own as he tracked down a through balland finished a 40-yard run by rounding Sharpe and finishing from a tight angle to put the game out of reach at 4-0 before the halftime whistle.
The pace of the match would slow in the second 45 minutes with the Rapids Reserves gaining a few quality chances. Brian Grazier lashed one just past the upper left corner in the 53rd minute and Tom McManus saw his 22-yard free kick towards the left post stopped by RSL goalie Kyle Reynish.
A long-range effort from guest player Adriano Sella in the 89th minute would mark the Rapids' closest chance of the match but the shot banged off the crossbar keeping the visitors off the board.
The Rapids Reserves will get a chance to erase this loss from their memories in less than a week as the take on the FC Dallas Reserves at on Friday morning at

RUD-matic Classic automatic chains (pair) no. 48482
Code: RD484-82
In stock
RUD's 'Classic automatic' snow chains, otherwise known as RUD-matic CLASSIC, are a good option for rear wheel drives with limited clearance between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch. They're very quick, clean and easy to fit and to remove, compared to all other traditional snow chain types - RUD have the patent on this technology.
RUD's 'Classic automatic' snow chains, otherwise known as RUD-matic CLASSIC, are a good option for rear wheel drives with limited clearance between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch. They're very quick, clean and easy to fit and to remove, compared to all other traditional snow chain types - RUD have the patent on this technology.
RUD's Classic automatic chains are particularly suitable - sometimes almost essential - for rear wheel drive cars where there is limited clearance for your hands and forearms between the top of the wheel and the wheel-arch; they also appeal to people who just appreciate the technology.
They are also often used on twin wheeled minibuses where it's really difficult to pull traditional snow chains through the narrow gap between the wheels.
Note that the first picture shows both the outside of the wheel (left) and the inside of the wheel (right).
We rate these chains very highly for ease of use, but they've also scored very high marks in test results for their traction, durability, tracking, braking distance and smoothness of running.
Why choose RUD? Simple - they're reckoned to be the best. But don't just take our word for it; RUD are official suppliers to Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes, Saab, Volvo, and VW, amongst others, and also supply the British Army - ample evidence that their snow chains are as good as they come.
In summary:
We're also showing you a range of other winter motoring products which we're selling here at market leading prices, including a snow and ice windscreen protector, a telescopic snow shovel, and a snow brush - all of these items are almost essential kit for winter weather, especially we suggest the snow brush. Please click on the links to see pictures and more information.
Delivery charges and arrangements:
Free delivery offer for snow chains! As part of our Snow chains offer this season we have added a free delivery option for all orders including snow chains, except for orders which also include a roof box. It covers all UK addresses except for any delivery address that includes a sea crossing.
See below for our normal delivery arrangements:
We charge a contribution towards delivery costs, depending on what you order, where you live, and how quickly you want the goods.
For most UK addresses, the charge for our two to three day service is £5.50 (£9.50 for orders including a roof box) and our charge for Next Working Day deliveries is £8.50 (£12.50 for orders involving a roof box). AutoSock, shoe chains, RUD i-Sock, and small spare parts, are charged £3.95 (Royal Mail Tracked), £4.95 (Royal Mail Express Tracked) or £5.95 (express courier, usually Next Working Day).
There are different charges for any delivery including a sea crossing, and deliveries to Skye - we will contact you with a quote on receipt of order.
Orders for Next Working Day delivery need to be received by 4.00pm.
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Next Working Day orders placed on a Friday will be delivered on the Monday, Next Working Day orders placed on a Saturday will be delivered on the Tuesday.
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver on a day and at an address which suits you. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. All courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.
Payment options:
We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".
Secure payments
Our website is secured by Sectigo (formerly Comodo CA), the largest commercial Certificate Authority in the world.
There are three parts to our snow chains offer this year:
(1) Clearance prices on many top branded snow chains, including RUD and Thule - an amazing opportunity for those who are quick off the mark! Thule (who are the biggest brand in the car racks market) have sold their snow chains division; the same chains are now being sold under the König brand. Thule branded chains have the same specifications as the König branded versions - all that has changed is the name on the chain and the name on the box.
(2) A free UK mainland delivery option for any snow chain order except any orders including a roof box or a sea crossing.
(3) Multibuy discounts - significant discounts if you buy two pairs of snow chains at the same time, or one pair of chains and one pair of AutoSock: If you do either of these things, we will discount the snow chains as follows:
As usual, you change the quantities in the Shopping Basket.
Snow chain recommendations
We are snow chain specialists, so we stock a large number of brands, and many different types of chain. Regular chain users usually know what they're looking for, and we hope they find it on this site, but many customers ask for further guidance about what they should buy. So here goes:
(1) Please use the filters on the previous page to narrow your choice, and also check out the Basic snow chain information links at the top of the previous page. Note that this year we are aiming to clear our overstocks, offering premium brand chains, including Thule and RUD, at massive discounts, with some at less than cost price. Theres a Clearance filter its worth a look!
(2) The big differences between the European branded chains and most of the Chinese chains are (a) steel quality and (b) attention to manufacturing details. There is a market for cheaper chains than the ones we offer, but its not a market we want to be in, especially as the price differences between questionable and good are often only about £20.
(3) These are our recommendations for different types of snow chain, based on many years experience of testing and using chains:
Chains for cars / small vans
Chains for SUVs / heavy 4x4s / medium and large vans

Lawyers are ready to help during these stressful times. Schedule your consultation >
You may have heard the term fiduciary duty before. It is a legal obligation to act in the best interest of another party. For example, the company's board of directors owe various fiduciary duties to its shareholders to run the company fairly and wisely. Trustees of the trust owe fiduciary duties to the beneficiaries to manage the assets in a trust responsibly and efficiently. Now these are very important legal duties. The law imposes these duties on people in positions of trust, because it would be impossible for the people relying on them into oversee every detail his or her work. If it is your duties are breached in compensatory damages maybe owed to the victims who were harmed as a result. If it is your duty can be breached in a verity ways such as it's a fiduciary act in his or her own interest instead interest other beneficiaries. If you suspect you have been harmed by fiduciary's breach of duties, contact entry in your area to discuss your legal options.

D. Lynn Jackson
Until the 19th century, abortion law was nonexistent and abortion was not seen as a moral issue. However, by the turn of the 20th century, abortion was legally defined and controlled in most states. The landmark Supreme Court case, Roe v. Wade (1973), marked the legalization of abortion but did not end the controversy that existed. Legislation at both the federal and state levels has added restrictions on abortion, making it difficult for women to exercise their reproductive rights. Social work's commitment to promote the human rights of women compels social workers to be aware of and involved in this issue.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Claudia J. Dewane
Clinical social work is a derivative profession, drawing its knowledge and practice base from several theoretical schools. The four primary theoretical schools contributing to social-work philosophy are psychodynamic, humanist, cognitive–behavioral, and postmodern. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), although considered one of the third-wave behavioral approaches, draws from all four theoretical schools of clinical intervention. This entry gives an overview of ACT development, its essential features, empirical base, tenets and techniques, and relevance to the social-work profession.
Accommodating Students with Physical Disabilities in Higher Education
Anna Escamilla
Students with disabilities are becoming more and more common in higher education classrooms, including social work classrooms. The challenges that come with accommodating students so as to allow equal access to the educational experience are surmountable with the assistance of student disability offices. New technology is being developed to assist students with learning both in and out of the classroom. Supportive attitudes from faculty in including students with disabilities allow all students to benefit from the experience. As compliance with laws such as the ADA becomes commonplace for new construction, the concept of universal design makes inclusion a norm.
Action Research
David P. Moxley
Through cycles of systematic and purposeful iterative engagement with problems they face in specific practice settings, social workers engaging in action research build knowledge that is useful in advancing practice for the purposes of social betterment. This entry situates action research in the development of social-work knowledge and then examines variants of action research formed when degrees of participation and control vary among members of vulnerable populations, particularly within community situations involving coping with a degraded quality of life. The author identifies the importance of methodological pluralism and addresses how sound action research results in knowledge dissemination and utilization for the purposes of social betterment, often through alternative methods of inquiry. The entry concludes with caveats social workers engaged in action research should heed, and the author emphasizes the pivotal role social work can serve in local efforts to engage in knowledge development for social betterment.

Addictions: Gambling
Lia Nower and Kyle Caler
Gambling disorder is a significant public health concern. The recent and continued proliferation of land-based and interactive gambling opportunities has increased both accessibility and acceptability of gambling in the United States and abroad, resulting in greater and more varied participation. However, there is currently no designated federal funding for prevention, intervention, treatment, or research, and states are left to adopt varying standards on an ad hoc basis. Social workers receive little or no training in screening or treating problem gamblers, though research suggests that a significant proportion of those with mental health and other addictive disorders also gamble excessively. Raising awareness about the nature and scope of gambling disorder and its devastating implications for families and children is a first-step toward integrating gambling into prevention, assessment and treatment education in social work. This, in turn, will increase the chances of early identification and intervention across settings and insure that social workers can lend a knowledgeable and credible voice to addressing this hidden addiction.

September 2011 by Ronald Schultz, MS, PhD, DACVM
Audience: Veterinary Team
Video Length: 70 minutes
Leading vaccine researcher Dr. Ronald Schultz doesn't want to see any more shelter pets die just because they've been exposed to a deadly infectious disease. That's why he offered a shelter a chance to make a different choice during their next outbreak, allowing them to save the lives of 17 dogs. How did they do it? With the use of a simple in-house antibody titer test that revealed which pets had an immunity to the disease. In the recorded version of Dr. Schultz's Saving Lives with Antibody Titer Tests webcast, which is now available for viewing below, you will learn:
- What an antibody titer test measures
- The types and meaning of "immunity"
- How to read/interpret an antibody titer
- How we know titer tests work, and for what diseases
- The research behind the TiterCHEK and VacciCheck on-site tests
- Recommended core canine and feline vaccines
- How to prevent or reduce shelter outbreaks with antibody titer testing
- Antibody titer testing for companion animals

( Written at the request of Editor, Rediff.com : http://www.rediff.com/news/column/why-it-is-tough-to-trust-the-isi/20120814.htm )
According to the "Express Tribune" of Pakistan, as cited by Rediff on August 13,2012, a proposal, possibly originating from the US, for an interaction between the chiefs of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and India's Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) is presently under examination by the Pakistani authorities.
2.Rediff has reported as follows: "The proposal is among "numerous mechanisms" being explored to reduce the trust deficit between the two neighbours, The Express Tribune quoted official sources as saying. It quoted a source as claiming that the US was instrumental in persuading the two countries to discuss the possibility of a meeting between the heads of the Research and Analysis Wing and Inter-Services Intelligence. A Pakistani official was quoted as saying that several proposals, including regular interactions between the security agencies of the two countries, were on the table."
3. There is no way of knowing whether the report of the "Express Tribune" is correct; if so, whether a similar proposal has been received by the Government of India and what has been the reaction of New Delhi to it.
4. Regular liaison relationships and sporadic liaison interactions, without involving a regular relationship, between the external intelligence agencies of even adversary states are not uncommon. At the height of the cold war, the USA's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was reported to have had liaison interactions with its counterparts in the erstwhile USSR and China
5.From the limited information available in the public domain regarding these interactions, it appeared that these interactions were used by the US as a mechanism for discussing sensitive issues away from the glare of publicity and for providing the political leadership with deniable means of remaining in touch with its counterparts in the USSR and China without the media coming to know about it. Though intelligence of mutual interest might have been exchanged during these interactions, that was probably not the primary purpose of it.
6. Information is available in the public domain regarding at least three past liaison interactions of a sporadic nature between the chiefs of the R&AW and the ISI. Two of these were when Rajiv Gandhi was the Prime Minister and the third when Chandrasekhar was the Prime Minister. The initiative for these sporadic interactions, which were held at the height of the Khalistan terrorist movement, came from the then Crown Prince of Jordan, who was a good friend of Rajiv Gandhi and Gen.Zia ul-Haq, then in power in Pakistan.
7. India was making serious allegations, in private and public, regarding ISI assistance to the Khalistani terrorists. The Crown Prince reportedly felt that it would be better to discuss such allegations in deniable meetings between the chiefs of the two agencies instead of voicing them in public. These three interactions did not have any impact on the ISI's support for the Khalistan terrorist movement, which continued to be as strong as ever.
8.The only seemingly beneficial outcomes of these three meetings were the Pakistani expulsion of four Sikh deserters from the Indian Army who had sought political asylum in Pakistan and informal discussions on certain ideas emanating from the two sides on possible ways of solving the Siachen dispute.
9. These three interactions were not followed up in subsequent years due to strong misgivings in the minds of the political leadership in India regarding the utility of such interactions from the point of view of our national security. In the case of the US, the intelligence agencies of the USSR and China were not engaged in attempts to destabilise the US through the use of terrorism in the US territory as a strategic weapon.
10. In the case of India and Pakistan, the issue is complicated due to the role of the ISI in fomenting terrorism against Indian nationals and interests. Moreover, there was a fear that the ISI might exploit liaison interactions and relationships to penetrate the Indian intelligence and security set-up.
11. Proposals for the revival of the sporadic liaison interactions between the heads of the R&AW and the ISI did come from the US after the Mumbai blasts of March 1993, but Narasimha Rao, the then Prime Minister, did not react to them positively. One understands that from time to time the US continues to float suggestions for a revival of the liaison interactions to reduce the hostility and suspicions between the intelligence communities of India and Pakistan. There were reports of such ideas being floated around after the ISI-backed Jihadi attack on the Indian Parliament in December 2001 and after the ISI-backed terrorist strikes by the Lashkar-e-Toiba I(LET) in Mumbai in the last week of November,2008.These ideas probably remained a non-starter due to lack of enthusiasm from Islamabad as well as New Delhi.
12.One finds it difficult to understand why the US should revive these ideas now when there is a serious trust deficit between the intelligence communities of the US and Pakistan. Over 60 years of intense, formal liaision relationship between the ISI and the CIA did not come in the way of the ISI stabbing the CIA in the back by giving clandestine shelter to Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad. The shelter given to OBL demonstrated clearly the perfidious mindset of the ISI, whether towards friends or foes.
13. One should not now be open to such ideas as in the past due to two reasons. The first is the incident relating to OBL. The second is the book on the penetration of the R&AW by the CIA through Major Rabinder Singh written by Amar Bhushan, the then No 3 in the R&AW who was, inter alia, responsible for counter-intelligence.
14. Amar Bhushan has given his book titled "Escape To Nowhere" the cloak of a fiction, but everyone reading it will know it is about the way the R&AW's then leadership, including Amar himself, dealt with Rabinder Singh before he managed to escape to the US in May 2004 after giving a slip to the R&AW's surveillance teams.
15. Even though the book is a mix of facts and fiction, any intelligence professional reading it between the lines would not fail to notice that the CIA managed to penetrate the R&AW and ultimately to whisk Rabinder Singh out of India right under the nose of the R&AW by noticing and exploiting serious weaknesses in the counter-intelligence and security armour of the R&AW. One does not know whether these weaknesses have since been addressed and removed and whether the R&AW and the rest of our intelligence community are now in a better position to prevent penetration of their set-up by hostile agencies like the ISI.
16. Unless and until these deficiencies are removed and a professional culture of acting in unison becomes the accepted norm in our intelligence community, we should not rush into reacting positively to any ideas for liaison interactions and relationships with the ISI. ( 14-8-12)

It has been forever and a day since I last posted! There has been some (welcome) changes in my life; however, for awhile there I got out of my routine of blogging, but I hope to get rolling again! I do enjoy it, and it keeps me on top of my game with my son.
The latest fun project we did was dyeing a big batch of rice in every color of the rainbow.
I mixed up 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Discount School Supply Liquid Watercolors with a splash of rubbing alcohol first and then poured the mixture into 6-8 cups of white rice. I mixed it up with a spoon until the color was absorbed consistently. I then spread out the rice on various baking pans (a cookie sheet, a casserole dish, etc.). I ended up with 7 batches of different colored rice so I had a lot to spread out! I fit the rice best I could in a preheated oven (170 degrees). Once in awhile I stirred it. After about 20 minutes I turned the oven off, and just let the rice sit continuing to dry. Once the rice was completely dry, I put it all in a Sterilite plastic bin and then let my son have at it! The bin proved perfect for sensory exploration, as the sides were high enough that not much rice escaped (it was 35 quart size, 24.5"x17.75"x7.125")! In addition, it still had the lid intact (making it perfect for easy storage). You can find a bin this size for $9-10 at your local home improvement store.
I was thrilled to see that my son played in the rice for a long time! We added little toys from his room that he buried and then made explode out of the rice (via use of his imagination and his hands). Also I put in plastic measuring cups, a funnel and a spoon which he used for pouring. Pouring (rotating of the wrist) is an excellent practice for developing fine motor skills and I emphasize this as well with the preschool kids I work with.

Father gets prison in bound children case
Adolfo Gomez tied up, blindfolded children in Wal-Mart lot
A suburban Chicago man has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for binding and blindfolding two of his children in a Wal-Mart parking lot in eastern Kansas.
A spokeswoman for the Douglas County district attorney's office says 53-year-old also was ordered during Wednesday's sentencing hearing to serve 24 months of post-release supervision after his prison term ends.
Gomez and his wife, Deborah Gomez, of Northlake, Ill., were arrested Jun 13, 2012, in Lawrence. Police reported finding two of their children, ages 5 and 7, bound by their hands and feet in the store parking lot.
Adolfo Gomez pleaded no contest to felony child abuse and child endangerment.
Deborah Gomez was sentenced earlier to one year of probation after pleading no contest to child endangerment.

What Kate Middleton is to fashion, Prince Harry is to scandal. Year in, year out, they can be counted on to deliver the goods. The royal standards, if you will.
So, while Prince William's rugged rogue of a little brother is no stranger to a hidden camera lens or the unflattering pen of a tabloid journalist (to be fair, they've had ample time to hone their crafts thanks to Harry's nearly annual antics), but his lost weekend in Las Vegas has proven almost too much for even them to bear.
Harry, on the other hand, had no such problems baring all. Ahem. So, let's take a look back at how the naked truth about Harry became public fodder.
U.S. & World
Check out Prince Harry's five biggest royal scandals
Aug. 17, 2012: The regal has landed. Harry checks into the Wynn Encore Tower ahead of the night that will live in infamy. Though the world won't know it for a few days yet...
Aug. 18, 2012: Prince Harry is first spotted in Sin City, getting his feet wet at a star-studded pool party held at MGM Grand's Wet Republic. The royal kicked off the boys' weekend (he had about six or seven hangers-on in tow) dancing, joking and drinking. Counted among the fellow klieg light-worthy attendees: Jennifer Lopez, though by all reports, the famous pair never crossed paths. He did, however, cross paths with a bachelorette party (of course he did), and two of the revelers, Lauren and Monica Martirano, told Inside Edition that the prince was a "gentleman."
"We were speechless," Lauren said. "We just stood there with our jaws dropped." Monica added, "How many people can say they met and spoke to Prince Harry? This story can't be topped." Oh, but it could and did...
Later that night, he hit up another pool party, this time for a little more harmless fun. While at the Wynn Hotel's XS nightclub, he met up with none other than Olympian Ryan Lochte. And seeing as how it was 2 a.m. and Harry was no doubt feeling slightly, um, emboldened, he took it upon himself to challenge the gold medalist to an impromptu swimming race.
Check out five more naked celebrity scandals
Speaking later in the week, Lochte recounted his version of events on the Today show, saying that the duo--then both fully clothed, he stressed--went their separate ways after their duel in the pool. Though that wasn't the end of Harry's night, as the world now knows.
Aug. 21, 2012: Sometime in the evening the following day, the full extent of Harry's party weekend made itself known, as grainy presumptive cell phone photos of the royal showing off his crown jewels while in the confines of his private hotel suite made their way online. Cue worldwide giddiness. The photos showed Harry completely naked, but for one modest hand over, well, that, during a game of strip billiards. Which, judging by the state of his clothes-eschewing self, is not his game.
Aug. 22, 2012: What happens in Vegas in no way stays in Vegas, but it did somehow stay out of the U.K. The royal family gave their best puppy dog eyes and pretty-pleases to the British media, specifically requesting that they not run Harry's naked self in their pages or online due to the implied privacy violation that yielded the photos in the first place. They complied, to hilarious and creative results.
Meanwhile, celebs come out in support (and appreciation) of Harry and his physique, with Lady Gaga leading the online fray. "HOLY MOTHER HARRY LOOKS FIT," she tweeted. "Hope no ones mad at him for that, I'm certainly not." So speaketh Mother Monster, so speaketh the world.
Aug. 23, 2012: Bullet-dodging party pal Ryan Lochte sat down with Matt Lauer and revealed his thoughts on Harry's hairy situation--specifically as they pertained to him avoiding being painted by the same scandalous brush. "Kinda happy," he said. "I don't need that."
Aug. 23, 2012: British tabloid The Sun decides to run the Harry photo after all, setting it for their Friday edition with headline "Heir It Is!" headline and subtitle "Pic of naked Harry you've already seen on the Internet." Managing editor David Dinsmore explains to E! News, "For us, this is about the freedom of the press. This is about the ludicrous situation where a picture can be seen by hundreds of millions of people around the world on the Internet, but can't be seen in the nation's favorite paper."
Aug. 23, 2012: Though he made his way out of Las Vegas the morning after his naked partying ways (he was reportedly spotted in Los Angeles hours later, though a layover may explain that), E! News confirmed that the prince finally made his way back to London and was gearing up for quite a showdown.
Today, he could make his way up to Balmoral and get some face time (and likely a scolding for the record books) from Queen Elizabeth II and his dad Prince Charles before resuming his military service in the U.K.
Rank aside, we think he might find himself getting saluted a whole lot more these days.

For several months I enjoyed thinking and dreaming and planning. Then we started putting those thoughts and dreams and plans into motion. It started feeling "real" to me the day after Christmas when we went shopping for bargains. We found long strings of little white lights for 50% off. We found tissue paper (for the "poofs") in white and blue with sparkles for 50% off. And then we decided to go to Ikea and they were having a one-day sale on champagne flutes - 25¢ each. But there was a caveat - limit 6 per household. So we could buy a total of 12. Hmmm, not quite enough. We talked to a manager and told her we were getting married and would she sell us 100? Please, please, please? Well, she must have been feeling the Christmas spirit, because she said "yes, as long as you don't try to return them." So we loaded them up!
I had decided that I wanted hydrangeas to be my flowers, so I went with periwinkle as the color for the wedding. My friend Debbie scoured her neighborhood for hydrangeas in bloom, and bravely knocked on the doors of stranger's houses to ask if we could buy (or if they would be willing to donate) their flowers. They all graciously donated these lovely blooms, in every perfect shade of lavender, periwinkle, and light blue! I found taffeta on the $1.00/yard table at Wal-Mart and bought all 4 yards to use to make table runners. I found dresses for my bridesmaids at JCPenney.com on clearance for $24.99 and they were perfect! And I found a beautiful dress that made me feel like a princess and had a big, poofy, tulle skirt.
The dress. The dress. It became time to order the dress. And I decided, since I had wanted to since I was young, to make my wedding gown. I based it off the dress I found, but was able to make several "tweaks" so that it was Perfect For Me. I drove to Karen's (my Maid of Honor) in Suffolk, VA to get her help with the fitting, since she too is a master seamstress. We made the entire dress in 2 1/2 days! Cotton lined and lightweight, perfect for an outdoor evening wedding in June!
The invitations were designed and assembled by me and I had such fun doing them! One of the funnest parts was finding the font. We chose one called Love Light and it has little hearts in the capital letters. Of course, they were periwinkle with hydrangeas. We "closed" the invitations with a wax stamp with two hearts (which was Robert's idea, and a great one!).
I had an image in my head of an ambiance that I wanted to create for the wedding and reception. We rented a farm and it was the perfect setting. It was only about 3 miles from our home, so it was extremely convenient. We were able to drop things off in the kitchen throughout the week before the wedding. The venue included a gorgeous, rustic, red barn as a backdrop. We had a pavilion for dancing and a kitchen right next to the pavilion for preparing food. The big, big, tree (I don't know what kind) had two tire swings and provided the perfect amount of shade for the ceremony. My Robert strung lights from the pavilion to the tree and we hung tissue paper poofs from the lights. Long tables were set up, end to end, in three rows with hydrangea centerpieces and lots of tea lights. It all turned out exactly the way I hoped it would!
The night before the ceremony we had everyone who was in town over to the farmhouse for fried chicken and fixin's. We figured that we didn't need a rehersal - how hard could it be to walk down the aisle? :) After the dinner, and after the men left for the night, us girls changed into our jammies and sang along to "Mamma Mia" while we made the tissue paper poofs that hung from the strings of lights. We awoke to the sounds and smells of Robert cooking breakfast for the ladies in the kitchen! He got us started off right with sausage and eggs, and Tara brought my favorite pumpkin muffins!
Becky treated me to a manicure and pedicure, which was a treat and let me feel like a princess! I was amazed at how relaxed I was throughout the day, but I had such a great team of friends and family that jumped right in and made my dream wedding a reality. They worked hard all day, and even into the night, cleaning and packing up. To all of you - THANK YOU for everything you did for us! Your love is amazing and we appreciate it so much!
My pastor from Northern Virginia, Ed Allen, came down with his wife, Diane, and he conducted our ceremony for us. We set up the chairs under the big tree with the tire swings, and in addition to providing shade and a breeze, the branches dipped low and framed the barn and mountains in the distance providing the perfect backdrop. I didn't mean to sing to Robert. Okay, at one time I meant to sing to him, but I chickened out and told the dj to play the version of the song with the lyrics. But he played the wrong one. So when the first verse didn't start, I realized what happened and, well, decided that I guess I was supposed to sing to him anyway. So I reached into my bra, where I had the lyrics on a sheet of paper. Everyone laughed! Ed asked if I had anything else down there...! So I sang "Keeper of the Stars" to my dear Robert. And Ed pronounced us husband and wife, and we kissed!
The chocolate fountains dripped dark chocolate and were complemented by various scrumptious dippers - pound cake, pretzels, marshmallows, toasted coconut marshmallows, strawberries, bananas, and cheesecake! Yes, we served dessert first, as our friends indulged while we were having our photographs taken. There were no complaints!
We decided to go with an Italian buffet for the dinner. Sharp Shopper (our favorite "overstock" grocery store) hooked us up with fantastic bargains on Zesty Sausage Pomodoro and Fettuccine Carbonara. Add salad, seasoned green beans, and bread sticks and that's a yummy meal! Would you believe me if I told you that the lettuce was the most expensive part of the meal? Now you know why Sharp Shopper is our favorite! Deals galore!
We honored Nikki and Karen and their birthdays before we cut our cake, as we brought out a birthday cake and sang to them! Surprise! My cousin Crystal made our wedding cake and it too, turned out just as I had hoped! We froze the top tier and then vacuum sealed it to keep it for our first anniversary. We've thought about breaking into it already, because that was the Best Cake Ever!!! The layers were devil's food and lemon poppyseed, with white buttercream frosting, and perfect hydrangea blossoms "falling" down the tiers with a big bow on top! Yes, he smashed it into my face and then he presented the kindest, most loving toast that I've ever heard! (I freaking love you, honey!)
It was truly the happiest day of my life, becoming Robert's wife. We laughed, ate, and danced under the lights into the night. Then we headed off, for our first night as husband and wife, to a little cabin in Love, Virginia...

Slash Recalls How He Got His Nickname
Before there was Slash, there was Saul Hudson, a British-born kid who moved to the United States for his formative years. But it wasn't until he became a mischievous teen that he earned the nickname for which people now recognize him.
Speaking with Metal Hammer, the guitar great explained how he had the famous moniker bestowed upon him. He recalls, "My best friend's dad is an actor named Seymour Cassel, and we used to ditch school and hang out at his house and he used to call me Slash and it was just habitual with him."
The rocker says the nickname began to stick over time, but he never questioned Cassel about it until years later. "I was on tour in Europe and I happened to run into him and we went to dinner," says Slash. "He told me that he called me Slash, cause I had to ask him, and he says it was always because I was in a hurry, hustling whatever it was I was hustling at the time and never had time to sit and chat. I was always sort of in passing and he just started calling me Slash."
So, that's how Saul Hudson became Slash. The guitarist is currently touring with his band in support of his new album 'Apocalyptic Love.' Check out our live review and exclusive photo gallery of Slash's recent gig in New York City here.

Grandma's Flak Jacket
Hi Janet,
I attended your webinar last night (am the one who's husband's father was one of 22 children... he's also Swedish). I've attended probably a dozen different webinars over the past year and most have been very good, but yours was different. I've not felt compelled to contact a presenter afterwards, but this time I have to. Your talk touched me like none of the others have.
I come from a very dysfunctional family, with alcoholism, drug addiction, sadism and lots of irrational (and unsavory) behaviours. Thusly, there was never any closeness and no one ever talked about family history. I am 56 years old and about 3 years ago, just on a whim, I decided to draw up my family tree. I was stuck almost immediately on my paternal grandfather. My Dad (now deceased) was entirely unapproachable on the subject, but he had 2 sisters. He was on good terms with one, but estranged from the other. We were never allowed to talk to that second sister because she was apparantly so horrible. Trouble is, the first sister was like him and would not discuss the family, so my only choice was to approach the second one.... even though I was risking being disowned for doing so. My whole world changed at that point.
Not only was she not horrible, she was WONDERFUL. She was thrilled to hear from me and shared openly. She inspired me beyond all belief and I am eternally grateful to her for that. She is 82 years old and I regret all those lost years. But it is what it is and at least we can carry on from here with love instead of resentment and maybe heal some of those hurts. I guess you could say I am now obsessed with genealogy, making it practically my full time job. I think what drives me is that need for connectedness. I have come to believe that I am part of something much bigger and I finally feel "a part of". I've had some of those woo-woo moments that you talked about last night and those are very cool. I absolutely love having made contact with previously unknown relatives and especially being able to share things with others that they did not know before. And have put people together that otherwise may never have found each other, or even known of their existence.
There was one defining moment, which may sound like nothing, but it impacted me. My grandfather emigrated from Scotland to Canada. He was following his sweetheart who had emigrated the year before. They married, had children and when the Great Depression hit he had to travel to the other side of the country for work. For various reasons, they never reunited. Once he landed work he sent for her and the children, but her family interfered and prevented her from going. Very sad. She always kept his picture beside her bed until her dying day some 70 years later. It breaks my heart to even tell this story. But the haunting question is... whatever happened to him? I have really tried hard to find him, but so far to no avail. I did trace him to a town in 1935 and had the strangest sensation when I first saw his name on the printed page of the City Directory. Nothing earth shattering. Just a phone book. But it was him. He was real. I felt a connectedness I had never felt before. Was weird.
I'm still searching for him and will not give up. I don't know what kind of man he was. I like to believe he was good, even though he had a brother who was very much NOT good. My Dad and his one sister hated their father their entire lives because they believe he abandoned the family, but I don't think they had all the facts. I think they robbed themselves by not trying to learn and understand why their parents did what they did. They preferred to carry the hurt. So... because the trail on grandfather went cold quite quickly, I turned my attention to his wife's family and have mapped out quite a large tree. Details have come much more easily and I've made many contacts. Here is where I'm finding more than just the facts. I'm learning of behaviours and personality traits and seeing very clear patterns. It really explains so much of how and why my family (and it's branches) is the way it is. It allows me to have more compassion.
And physical traits.... there's a whole 'nother fun subject. My grandmother was from Scotland but her ancestors were from Ireland. Her surname is rare, so I've been making a one-name study of it and tracing everyone I find with that name. I have mapped 3 major branches and traced them all back to the same place and time. I just can't prove the link, but there have been tip offs. Like pictures of 2 men, each from a different branch. They look so much alike they could be brothers. Another story is I found a second or third cousin recently and he sent me a picture of the GG-grandparents we share. It took my breath away to see that GGGF and my nephew are spitting images of each other.
This whole subject is awesome, awesome, awesome! I would love to publish my findings some day, to pass down to future generations. I often sit and think what life was like for my various ancestors and picture myself standing beside them in their time. I also wonder what they would think about how hard I'm working to learn about them. What would they have thought about someone being so interested in them as they were just living their ordinary lives. Will someone in the future be this interested in me and what I am doing today in MY ordinary life?
Anyways, I've written much more than I intended to. I just wanted to thank you for the webinar and confirming that I'm not the only one who approaches my research with these same thoughts and intentions. I don't even know if I've adequately articulated what I am trying to say to you, but .... thanks.

Thank you for posting the letter. I have a similarly dysfunctional family story, one that I have not been ready to tell yet. This post gives me second thoughts about telling that story.

You know A, I don't know if you'll see this but I've been looking back through things and I have to make a comment here. I've been learning and thinking this summer. And I've concluded that those hard dysfunctional things are exactly WHY you have to write/learn about your family history. Those are the MOST IMPORTANT parts. At some point there is someone who has overcome. And that is an example you want every one of your descendants to learn from. It is good to understand the dysfunctional and move on. I have been so inspired by the hard stories in my family history, that I don't have to be perfect, I can make mistakes, and things move on. And I can learn not to make the same mistakes again. What is it they say, Those who don't understand history are doomed to repeat it? It is the dysfunctional part of my history that is the most valuable to me. Good luck to you. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to deal with it.

Lateen sail
The word lateen (derived from latin, meaning Mediterranean) describes a ship rigging that is one of the oldest of all. It is a triangular sail carried on a particularly long "yard" (frequently longer than the vessel itself), historically attached to a well "raked" (slanted") mast by an easily released slip-knot. The yard (which is constructed somewhat like some archery bows so that the ends are more flexible than the middle) is well angled upward from the leading end, where the sail in some Arab versions can have a short "luff" or leading edge, making it four-sided (called seltee-lateen or settee).
It was the rigging of the early caravels and many other craft of the Mediterranean. Even when exploration and trade across the oceans necessitated the later development of larger multi-sail square rigged vessels such as the carrack and then the galleon the lateen on the mizzen (aft-mast) was almost standard until the development of the gaff-rigged "spanker" during the 18th century.
Lateen rigged vessels (feluccas and dhows) still ply the upper Nile and coastal parts of the Mediterraean and north Indian Ocean. It is an extremely efficient sail for a small crew, but hazardous in rough weather.

Today is the day. Fashion Food Feminism is producing a fashion show in Chicago and it's happening tonight. In January Maria and I brainstormed up the idea to put on a fashion show with vintage clothes and have it be a fundraiser for a new local theatre company, Sankofa, that we are both involved in. The show evolved and now the runway will feature not only vintage, but also clothing from local designers.
It has been a fun, but sometimes stressful production. There is so much work that goes into a fashion show, but at least I was aware going in. I've volunteered at many fashion shows, but this is my first time putting one together myself. The hardest task was finding a venue on a very limited budget of zero dollars. However, by reaching out to a few friends I was able to secure an awesome location in downtown Chicago on the roof of the building courtesy of friend and designer Gabrielle Zwick. The location is perfect for enjoying a Chicago summer night and looking out at the lake or the sparkling city.
Being a feminist produced fashion show we want to do things differently. We will be debuting our new vintage collection- Outside the Box Vintage. It is a reminder to ourselves and to others to remember to think outside the box, to challenge traditional thought, and to be free to express yourself. All the designers and vendors are women. The theme for the night is playful and not sexy. I kept hearing the word sexy so many times during the planning of this event and I constantly had to say no we are not selling sex, I want it to be fun and playful. It is important to us to use fashion as a tool to empower women and not cater to the idea of what is sexy.
Another challenge I encountered was finding a local plus size designer. There was only one in the area I was able to find and she was unavailable for the event. It just made it blatantly obvious to me the lack of options available to women who are plus size and want to dress their best.
There is going to be desserts and sangria. I'm excited to try the desserts and the sangria is delicious. It is not going to be the typical runway experience and there isn't going to be your typical runway. I'm not going to reveal all the details, you'll have to come and find out!
So I'm inviting you to come join us for a playful summer's night mingling amongst Chicago's skyline. Your exclusive view will include a fashion show with the best vintage and local designs Chicago has! Celebrate supporting local Chicago culture and promote diversity. In addition, since it's Chicago's Pride Weekend we will be celebrating supporting equality and gay rights. You know you wanna come. You can purchase tickets here.

Shaun White headed home from a week of training Sunday, with his coach declaring him "110 percent" healthy for the Olympics.
Bud Keene said White benefited greatly from the four-day session on the private halfpipe and slopestyle course in Copper Mountain.
White, who hurt his left ankle in December, opted against competing in the Winter X Games so he could focus on the tricks he'll need in Sochi, starting Feb. 6 with slopestyle qualifying.
U.S. & World
Keene said White saw one of the world's top slopestyle riders, Mark McMorris, go down hard and break his rib in X Games finals Saturday. McMorris said he still plans to compete in the Olympics.
"That was certainly unfortunate and we were sad to see that happen to Mark," Keene told The Associated Press. "Obviously, it's not the end of the world for him. That highlighted our decision in a good way."
But, he said, the risk of injury wasn't the main reason White skipped the X Games.
It was simply the need for more training after a hectic qualifying schedule that included the ankle injury and a nasty fall in a slopestyle qualifier in Mammoth Lakes, Calif.
Despite all that, White qualified for both events and will have a chance to win a third gold medal in halfpipe and take the first ever awarded in slopestyle.
White will spend a few days at home before heading to Germany, where the U.S. Olympic Committee will give athletes final paperwork and instructions before sending them on charter flights to Sochi.
Slopestyle training starts Feb. 3, with the competition beginning three days later.
The halfpipe contest is Feb. 11.
Asked about White's overall health, Keene didn't hesitate: "He's 110 percent."

An iceberg larger than the city of Chicago broke off of Antartica's Pine Island Glacier Monday and is now floating freely in the Amundsen Sea.
According to Live Science, the giant iceberg measures about 278 square miles and it was spotted floating in the wild by TerraSAR-X, an Earth-observing satellite operated by the German Space Agency (DLR).
In October of 2012 NASA scientists discovered a crack in the Pina Island Glacier as they flew over to survey the ice sheet. At the time, the fracture reportedly spanned about 15 miles in length and 164 feet in width. In May 2012 satellite images showed a second fissure had formed near the top side of the first crack.
"As a result of these cracks, one giant iceberg broke away from the glacier tongue," Angelika Humbert, a glaciologist at the Alfred Wegener Institute, said in a statement.
Humbert and her team had been studying and following the two cracks for a while. She said that icebergs breaking and flowing out to sea was part of a cyclical process.
"Glaciers are constantly in motion," she said. "They have their very own flow dynamics. Their ice is exposed to permanent tensions and the calving of icebergs is still largely unresearched."
The Pine Island Glacier is the longest and fastest-changing on the West Antarctic Sheet, it last produced large icebergs in 2007 and 2008.
According to researchers, the glacier's rapid flow could have serious consequences in the ecosystem, as it "acts as a plug, holding back part of the immense West Antarctic Ice Sheet whose melting ice contributes to rising sea levels."

|From sandwich cookies
The recipe is my grandmother's sugar cookie recipe that I originally posted here.
The buttercream is my favorite Neoclassical Buttercream by Rose Levy Beranbaum - those who read this blog regularly know she is my baking idol). I colored the icing pink and sandwiched it between two rectangular shaped cookies. But your favorite frosting - white, chocolate, or mmm even lemon would be spectacular. My kids and I are planning another round of sugar cookies this week - in a Spring theme. I'll post when ready!
Note: if you use my sugar cookie recipe and are using smaller cookie cutters like these, 8 minutes in the oven seems about right.

Librarian wins at least $1M in Lay's chip promo
NEW YORK Lay's potato chips are getting cheesier.
Fans voted to keep the potato chip maker's Cheesy Garlic Bread flavor on store shelves for at least the end of the year as part of the company's nearly year-long "Do Us a Flavor" promotion.
Cheesy Garlic Bread beat out two other fan-submitted flavors: a maple-syrup tasting Chicken & Waffles and Sriracha, which tastes like the hot sauce often used in Thai dishes.
The campaign is the latest promotional stunt from companies trying to engage customers through social media and direct interaction. Toy maker Hasbro Inc. recently held a Monopoly contest that ended with the addition of a cat game token and the demise of the iron for the classic board game. Online retailer Amazon.com Inc. is asking people to watch show pilots on its streaming video service and vote for which one to turn into a full series.
Karen Weber-Mendham, a children's librarian from Land O'Lakes, Wis., submitted the Cheesy Garlic Bread flavor and will receive $1 million or 1 percent of sales, whichever is higher. (The company said it hasn't tallied sales numbers yet.) The creators of the Chicken & Waffles and Sriracha chips will be awarded $50,000 each.
Weber-Mendham came up with the flavor because her three kids love to order cheesy garlic bread at Italian restaurants. Earlier this year she traveled to Frito-Lay's Plano, Texas, headquarters to taste the chips. Frito-Lay is a unit of PepsiCo Inc.
"I was actually shocked at how good the chips came out," Weber-Mendham, 45, said in an interview after she was named the winner late Monday in Los Angeles.
Lay's kicked off its "Do us a Flavor" campaign last summer, calling for potato chip lovers to come up with creative flavors. A panel of chefs and flavor experts looked through about 3.8 million submissions and selected the three finalists earlier this year.
The flavors have been on store shelves since February. Customers were asked to taste them and vote for their favorite on Facebook and Twitter. Over a million votes were submitted, according to Lay's.
Cheesy Garlic Bread flavor is expected to stay in stores at least until the end of the year. If the flavor sells well, Lay's will continue selling it, said Ram Krishnan, Frito-Lay's vice president of marketing.
The Chicken & Waffle and Sriracha flavors will remain in stores for the summer, partly because they were so hard to find during the contest, Krishnan said.
Demand for the three finalist flavors was larger than the company expected. People turned to the Lay's Facebook page to say they couldn't find the flavors. Krishnan said that the company had to double its shipments to stores to meet demand.
Even Weber-Mendham couldn't find the chips. She frequently visited the three supermarkets with a camera in hand, hoping to find a bag. "They were always gone," she said.
Jeremy Troxell was able to find one bag of Lay's Cheesy Garlic Bread at a Wal-Mart in El Paso, Texas, where he lives. The 27-year-old Web designer looked in stores all over the city for more, and asked friends if they saw them.
Troxell doesn't even like to buy potato chips. He usually grabs healthier snacks, such as pita chips.
"I would have purchased the other ones if I found them," Troxell said. "They're flavors you never think of. It's kind of a novelty thing."

New York (AP) – Billie Jean King will not attend Friday's opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics in Russia because her mother is ill.
King was chosen in December to help lead the U.S. delegation to the Sochi Games. King has been outspoken in her opposition to Russia's anti-gay law and had planned to attend ice hockey and figure skating events and meet U.S. athletes during her three-day visit to the games.
King told The Associated Press on Jan. 5 that because of her mother's "failing health, I will not be able to join the U.S. Presidential delegation at this week's opening ceremonies of the Sochi Olympics."
Betty Moffitt, her 91-year-old mother, lives in Arizona and has been ill for some time. King will be joined by her brother Randy Moffitt, a former pitcher for the San Francisco Giants.
"It is important for me to be with my mother and my brother at this difficult time. I want to thank President Obama for including me in this historic mission and I look forward to supporting our athletes as they compete in Sochi."
The openly gay former tennis star said she'd like sexual orientation added to the list of protections in the charter of the International Olympic Committee.
In June, Russia passed a law banning gay "propaganda" to minors. In an interview with The Associated Press last month, King said: "It should be a non-issue. It's just like people of color in our country and other places, it has to be a non-issue."

THE PLOTTED COURSE: Long after we've all left this planet, thousands of years from now, and taken all of our landmarks and paintings and important artifacts with us, a few modern-day facts shall remain. One? Parking near the grocery store entrance on a rainy day will still be difficult, regardless of the new planet we live on. And two? Travel books will still celebrate the driving loop or trail. Know that of which we speak? The attraction-laden drive has been the go-to of guides since the invention of the automobile. And, truly, even walking loops were written about, in detail, prior to the arrival of cars. That's because we're not made of time but we do love our leisure, so the idea that someone has plotted a course for us, with interesting stops and things to see, is indeed a wonderful thing. So wonderful that we predict, here and now, that the guidebook loop or trail -- that would be the non-closed-end adventure -- will last for thousands of years to come.
BUT WHAT OF THIS YEAR? California boasts some excellent stop-here-then-here drives, but the Fossils to Falls one, near Madera, is a gem. Or should we say we have no bones to pick with it? Admission: We made that corny joke because the Fossil Discovery Center, in Chowchilla, is on the drive. The area happens to boast "the largest Pleistocene era fossil bed in the United States," so bet you'll see some mammoth-magnificent beauties. There shall be other sights in and off Highway 99, though, like Home Grown Cellars -- hello, pomegranates -- Bass Lake and Fish Camp. There are so many places to see on the Fossils to Falls page, we should note, that you could break it down into a few daytrips, with maybe an overnight or two in a Gold Country town or near a Madera winery. So, are you set? You want to see a few things around the low rolly Sierra foothills but you want someone else to pick 'em out for you? They're all right here, on Fossils to Falls.

Hello! I humbly have to admit that I couldn't be more proud about this post! I tried to include all the pretty and essential things for a summer trip, from beachwear to beauty products and accessories. Crops, shorts and kimonos are more than necessary during the hot days of summer, while a hat, a sunscreen and a pair of sunnies are able to protect and beautify our skin and hair. Lastly, sandals, straw bags and temporary tattoos can give a more boho and carefree twist to our summer outfits! Is there anything else you would like to include in this list? Please, let us know!

Hello my friends! I don't know about you, but I always remembered a phrase from my childhood:''Eat your greens!'' So, in this post we combined all these green fruits and vegetables we used to hate when we were kids, and we tried to create healthy and most importantly tasteful plates. So, our main ingredients are avocados, green apples, lemons, spinach and mint. We also added wholegrain bread, chocolate cookies, eggs, yogurt, berries and other tropical fruits. What do you think of this different version of greens?
Decor Details
Hi my friend! This post is about home decoration and more specifically about these subtle details that give a different and unique touch to our home. So, to be honest, lately I'm a little obsessed with metal pieces, like golden bowls, copper cups, clocks and many more things... Also I love a mixture of exotic- colonial accents, like big tropical plants, lace and linen textures and scented candles. But I think the ideal canvas for all these elements is the white. White walls, white floors, white seets, marble surfaces...And you, what is your latest decor obsession?
Style and the City
Hi everyone! Form me, today's post is the epitomy of modern street style. Red, black and white, all together, in different shapes, textures and motives. More specifically, I paired a crop with a checked skirt, gladiators and a clutch bag. I added an arm cuff and my sunnies and I enjoyed a day in the city. Looks like this, with few adjustments, can be wore from day to night, for the office, shopping, errands, meetings with friends or even a date. Hope you like it!

Mogari no mori (2007)
Directed by Naomi KawaseGenres - Drama | Sub-Genres - Romantic Drama, Slice of Life | Run Time - 90 min. | Countries - Japan | MPAA Rating - NR
Share on
Synopsis by Mark Deming
Two people dealing with loss come together in this drama from Japanese filmmaker Naomi Kawase. Machiko (Machiko Ono) is a woman who is still recovering emotionally from the death of her young son when she takes a job at a nursing home, where she helps care for the elderly and ailing residents. One of Machiko's charges is Shigeki (Shigeki Uda), a kind but frustrating man who is slipping into senility. Machiko reminds Shigeki of his late wife, while she similarly develops a filial fondness for him. For his birthday, Machiko takes Shigeki for a drive in the country, but her car breaks down and she has to go for help. When Machiko returns a few minutes later, she discovers Shigeki has run off into the nearby woods, and she has to go in and look for him. While Machiko does eventually find Shigeki, she still has a car that won't start and it's too dark to walk back to town; while Machiko tries to get Shigeki to settle down for the night, he keeps insisting on hiking deeper into the woods, looking for something he's incapable of explaining to others. Mogari no Mori (aka The Mourning Forest) received its European debut at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.

Efficiently wash large or small quantities of clothing with quality commercial laundry equipment
Whether setting up a laundry center in a new building or installing a portable dryer in an apartment, quality washing and drying equipment will ensure that every load of laundry is sparkling clean. Sears has a great selection of commercial laundry equipment in stylish designs to suit any space. Furnish your laundry area with portable laundry machines, dryers and appliance installation accessories
Coin-operated washers and dryers are great choices for public spaces, like laundromats and apartment complexes. Choose from electric and gas-powered models in a variety of different designs. Try top-loading models with large capacities or ultra-efficient front-loading models to work toward reducing energy consumption. Customers can adjust the multiple settings for a customized clean and then insert coins to start each cycle. The money falls into a coin collection bin, which is kept secure under lock and key.
Commercial laundry centers have higher capacities than washer and dryer bundles for the home, but still offer convenient, stackable designs. These smart devices were built to handle large loads of clothing, linens, and bedding without sacrificing performance. From energy-saving technology to stainless steel construction, these appliances are as functional as they are stylish. Portable laundry machines are a smaller alternative for studios and dorm rooms. Portable laundry units take up a small amount of floor space, but still offer multiple wash cycles for a professional-quality cleaning. Washing clothes is easier with commercial and portable laundry equipment from Sears.
