A leading name who embarked on the world of fashion in 1980's. She won the Yuv Rattan Award and is counted among the modern-designers of the country. Best known for her theme collections, and focuses on silhouettes and is always busy in experimentation and introducing new trends! Rina-Dhaka has arranged shows in Paris, London, Singapore, Hong-Kong, New-York, Jakarta & Dubai . Rina's Singapore shows in 2001 nd 2002 were her major victory! Even "Vogue" and "Elle" (International megazines) have featured 'er work and fashion-designing is now her family business as her brothers Shantanu and Nikhil also joined her in late 90's.
Currently the fashion industry relies more on mass market sales. The mass market caters for a wide range of customers, producing ready-to-wear garments using trends set by the famous names in fashion. They often wait around a season to make sure a style is going to catch on before producing their own versions of the original look. To save money and time, they use cheaper fabrics and simpler production techniques which can easily be done by machine. The end product can therefore be sold much more cheaply.[7][8][9]
A big hello to my intimates! Here I have another article of great consequence, yeah it is pertaining to the best Indian fashion-designers. As the time is eluding, trends are changing and we're getting slaves to fashion! It's an era of style and vogue, where dressing well is considered a form of good manners! Therefore every year , in every season fashion designers launch their prêt-line. Designers endeavor to design dresses that are both functional and aesthetically satisfying. The fashion-industry of India is flourishing by leaps and bounds and has got successful in achieving fame and popularity through the world as a fashion-centric-nation! Previously , not many people knew about India and it's fashion but it's emerging and mounting industry has made it's mark not only in the neighboring countries but in the international fashion-industry as well! And it is because of it's designers that India is now in the top list of countries. Specially Indian fabric and it's attire called "Saree" is well liked and admired throughout the world.
Fashion design is the art of applying design, aesthetics and natural beauty to clothing and its accessories. It is influenced by cultural and social attitudes, and has varied over time and place. Fashion designers work in a number of ways in designing clothing and accessories such as bracelets and necklaces. Because of the time required to bring a garment onto the market, designers must at times anticipate changes to consumer tastes.
Known as the champion of star-spangled glamour, Tommy Hilfieger's favorite trends go from red, white and blue. Since introducing his first collection in 1985, no designer has become more closely associated with Ivy League prep than Tommy Hilfiger. After building his company on the modernization of all-American men's wear, and winning the CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year award in 1995, Hilfiger introduced women's wear in 1996 and sold the company for $1.6 billion ten years later.
In 1966 Paco Rabanne opened his own outlet at the age of 32, where he earned international repute for his metal-linked plastic-disc dresses, sun goggles and jewelry made of plastic in primary colors. Paco Rabanne's dresses made of small plastic tiles linked together by chains, stole the show in Paris. His first collection, titled "12 Unwearable Dresses in Contemporary Materials," sums up his philosophy that "the only new frontier left in fashion is the finding of new materials." Throughout his career, Rabanne experimented with everything from plastic and aluminum to fiberglass and paper to create futuristic, eccentric, yet highly influential garments.
Inspiration board is a references and research framework for your design. Designer collects different inspirational images, words, and objects (fabric, colour, textures,trims, paint chips, packaging, etc.) that are organize and keep at hand as a reference for starting a fashion design. It can be made in the form of a paper poster, a bulletin board, a digital graphic, or a video.
To develop a successful design, balance and fitting garment, three dimensional prototypes are essential. Prototypes are also known as toiles. It is the correct distribution of the waist suppression. This method is used in order to cut or smooth away the excess fabric at the waist. Get a perfect shape of the garment to follow the natural curves of the figure, make darts, side seams and the hollow of the back.
Women who enjoy the artsy style tend to stay away from the traditional 'trends' of the fashion world and love to make a statement with their clothing. Oftentimes they will be the creator of their own fashions, designing and creating their own blouses, hats, and jackets. Each artsy style will be different per woman, as everyone has their own idea of what 'art' truly is. That's what makes this particular fashion style so unconventional and interesting.
"We saw the 'army' mood return, but in a more effortless and understated way than previous seasons. A utility and combat mood was a favorite in Milan, particularly from the likes of Prada and Miu Miu, who offered full army-inspired looks. I loved Isabel Marant's oversized styles which similarly drew inspiration with oversized vests and pocket-detailed trousers. A favourite piece had to be Stella McCartney's full khaki green jumpsuit, which looks great with an oversized jacket in the same hue and a pair of pumps," says Hsu.
There's a puff-sleeve personality for everyone, according to the runways. Maybe you'll like yours neat and rounded out at the shoulder for autumn (see Givenchy), or maybe you'll want something decadent and entirely inappropriate for anything that involves dipping sauces (see Emilia Wickstead's gigantic-sleeved floral dresses). Whatever route you choose to go down there is a huge amount on offer from edgy to prim.
The first true "Chanel suit" was produced in 1925; Coco used chains to weigh down the fabric, so that it hung "just so". She favored ornamentation such as ribbons, pretty buttons, and ropes of pearls. Her feminine touches added style and impact to her wearable designs; in fact, even vintage Chanel designs remain remarkably timeless and easy to wear.
Known for his stunning couture designs and his sophisticated women's tuxedo jackets (known as le smoking), Saint Laurent was destined to carve out his own identity, but his career was not without its challenges. After a poorly received collection at Dior, which featured hobble skirts and other unusual designs, he was sent into mandatory military service. The stress of being in the army (although he lasted only 20 days) took a tremendous toll on the sensitive designer. He suffered from teasing and hazing by his fellow soldiers, and he soon plunged into a nervous breakdown; he was sent to a mental hospital for treatment.
Range planning includes the creation of the ratio of garments to be selected in any given collection. For example, a basic range plan may be formed of four skirts, three trousers, six tops, two jackets and two dresses in three colour ways. Every collection needs a breakdown of units (garments) to enable the looks to be worn with enough combinations. If more volume sales come from tops it makes knowledge to supply more of these when editing the collection.
Ralph Lauren is worth $7.5 billion, and he got it all because of his fashion sense. In 1970, the first Polo logo was seen in Lauren's line of women's suits that was designed in the classic men's style. Two years later, the famous short sleeve shirt with the Polo emblem appeared, and it soon became a classic. These shirts have been collected by men all over the world ever since. Lauren, on the other hand, has been collecting rare and classic cars. The collection is so unique that it has been featured in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
I don't know what style category I fit into. I seem to have casual, sexy, girly, punk and tomboy. I even like the sporty style. It actually depends on my mood but most of the time, I like romantic clothes with lace, chic stuff, and if I don't feel like dressing up, I just want casual or tomboy. Usually with crop tops and high waisted jeans. What….am I???

Those ridiculous moments that someone caught on camera and the in-jokes: that's what I always wanted to find myself a part of. And now I am! Thanks so much chai.shay for your long scene titles, jordan_gifford_2mc for your witty comments, and chantelle19_ for keeping us level. We all went a little insane but at least we did it together!
Second trailer for MIDI Learn, my short film. These were the first clips I filmed on day 1 of shooting, but afterwards I realized they were completely unusable lol. I filmed in the wrong resolution & the footage was stuttering, so I had to reshoot for the final cut. That same stuttering problem never went away (I think shooting in 4k on iPhone 6s is tough on the hardware), so I was reshooting up to the day of release 😅 If you missed it, you can watch the film at the link in my bio. To everyone who has watched, shared feedback, & supported the project, I can't thank y'all enough!

Kaepernick's Girlfriend Drops Conspiracy About NFL, Trump
On Tuesday, Nessa Diab, a radio/TV personality and girlfriend to anthem-protesting former NFLer Colin Kaepernick, dropped a conspiracy theory about why her boyfriend has been allegedly "blackballed" from the league.
And it includes, you guessed it, President Donald Trump.
Diab posted an article from Politico published Tuesday about President Trump's reelection campaign buying a $10 million 60-second ad set to air during the Super Bowl.
"You see how this works?" said Diab. "Trump & his [NFL] buddies from team owners & [NFL Commissioner] have a code they stick by."
"That code blackballed [Colin Kaepernick] for peacefully protesting systemic oppression," she claimed.
You see how this works? Trump & his @NFL buddies from team owners & @nflcommish have a code they stick by. That code blackballed @kaepernick7 for peacefully protesting systemic oppression.
Trump to drop $10 million on Super Bowl ad https://t.co/scxmI9W58Z
— NESSA (@nessnitty) January 8, 2020
"President Donald Trump's reelection campaign is planning to drop $10 million to advertise during the Super Bowl, the start of a massive election-year spending spree that will intensify over the coming months, according to four people briefed on the plans," Politico reported.
"The campaign has purchased 60 seconds of commercial time during the Feb. 2 Super Bowl, which is likely to be the most-watched television event of the year. The ad or ads — it's unclear whether it will be a single 60-second spot or a pair of 30-second commercials — are expected to run early in the game, when viewership is likely to be at its highest," the outlet noted.
Diab's theory about a supposed "code" "blackballing" her boyfriend completely negates Kaepernick's own actions.
As reported by The Daily Wire in November, the NFL went out of their way to cater to the former QB, organizing a private workout for Kaepernick and inviting every team in the league to attend, a memo obtained by ESPN outlined.
"The session, according to ESPN, allowed Kaepernick an on-field workout and an interview, which would both be taped and made available to all teams. Moreover, the workout was set up to provide teams anonymity, so if they watched Kaepernick and didn't want him, they wouldn't catch flack. This was done to encourage more teams to attend the event, thus helping the quarterback secure a position," The Daily Wire outlined.
Kaepernick, however, bailed on the tryout about a half-hour before it was supposed to begin, in part because he wasn't allowed to bring his own camera crew.
"The workout was originally set for 3 p.m. and was to be held at the Atlanta Falcons' practice facility in Flowery Branch," CBS News reported. "At 2:30, representatives for the free agent quarterback informed the league that Kaepernick would instead be conducting the workout at 4 p.m. at Drew High School in Riverdale, Georgia."
Kaepernick, a multimillionaire endorsed by Nike, then attended his own workout in a "Kunta Kinte" t-shirt, comparing himself to a defiant slave from the movie "Roots." The film showcases an iconic scene wherein Kunta Kinte is whipped by his master for refusing to acknowledge his slave name, Toby.

Kaepernick was widely criticized for the diss to the NFL, even by close allies.
According to Sports Illustrated, Jay-Z, an outspoken supporter and close friend to Kaepernick, told sources he was "disappointed with Colin's actions and believes he turned a legitimate workout into a publicity stunt."
After the NFL enacted a policy with regard to anthem-protesting in 2018, Trump said the policy was a step in the right direction, but suggested it wasn't tough enough.
"Well, I think that's good. I don't think people should be staying in locker rooms," he told "Fox & Friends," according to NBC News. "But still, I think it's good. You have to stand proudly for the national anthem, or you shouldn't be playing, you shouldn't be there. Maybe you shouldn't be in the country."

Apple Watch Leads Smartwatch Market Despite Falling Sales: IDC
by István Fekete – Mon, October 24, 2016
Apple has continued to lose share in the global smartwatch market but has kept its position as the global leader in the third quarter, according to data from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker.
The Apple Watch Series 0 (aka the first-generation Watch) accounted for the greatest volume during the quarter, while the Series 1 and 2 helped little to stop the decline, the market research company says. Apple is estimated to have shipped 1.1 million Watch units in the third quarter, controlling about 41.3% of the global smartwatch market. That compares to the 3.9 million units it was estimated to have shipped during the same period a year ago, which accounted for 70.2% of the market. Hence Apple has recorded a nearly 72% decline in Apple Watch units year-over-year.
Apple is followed by Garmin, which has seen a tremendous 324% growth year-over-year, shipping an estimated 0.6 million units, up from 0.1 million a year ago. Samsung is in third spot with an estimated 0.4 million shipments, maintaining the same number as last year.
"The sharp decline in smartwatch shipment volumes reflects the way platforms and vendors are realigning," noted Ramon Llamas, research manager for IDC's Wearables team. "Apple revealed a new look and feel to watchOS that did not arrive until the launch of the second generation watch at the end of September. Google's decision to hold back Android Wear 2.0 has repercussions for its OEM partners as to whether to launch devices before or after the holidays. Samsung's Gear S3, announced at IFA in September, has yet to be released. Collectively, this left vendors relying on older, aging devices to satisfy customers."
Overall, global smartwatch shipments declined 51.6% compared to last year, according to IDC. In the third quarter, vendors shipped a total of 2.7 million units, which compares to the 5.6 million estimated for the same period a year ago.

At the risk of stating the obvious, the credibility, defensibility, and corresponding value of advice delivered by the cost analysis community to decision makers in government and industry is dependent on analyst competency. From my vantage point as former President/CEO and current Technical Director of an organization that routinely demonstrates through its actions an enduring commitment to improving this community of practice (COP), I fear that an increasing number of 'professionals' in our community aren't doing their jobs as well as they should.
The intent of this article is to offer concrete food-for-thought to the community at-large in the form of actionable principles, aka the Principles of Cost Analysis Talent (POCAT).
It is also important to preface the main course with a few general and, in my opinion, in-arguable truths. First, best of breed cost analysts are graduates of undergrad and grad programs that foster quantitative problem solving skills. Second, the best analysts are detail-oriented, particularly with respect to understanding the strengths and limitations of any cost, technical, and programmatic data employed in a particular analytical task. Third, the best analysts are effective story-tellers who understand what/how to convey the 'right' message to different audiences.
Now for the main course. In the interest of covering the waterfront of professionals who constitute our community, I have distinguished the principles by broad role – staff versus leader, where the latter represents cost analysts responsible for managing work/staff at different levels of an organization.
Understand the principles above are critical and do what it takes to make them a reality via organizational culture, training, and development and financial rewards.
Understand continual investment in data, techniques, and tools is essential to analytical credibility.
Understand the manner in which results are presented is more important than what's presented.
Understand enough analysis on time is invaluable and great analysis late is useless.
Understand certifications are no substitute for experience practicing the science and art of cost analysis.
Recognize importance of rigorous (though not onerous) quality control processes.
Ensure their bosses understand the cost analysis value proposition well enough to facilitate organizational health.
I hope the Principles of Cost Analysis Talent (POCAT) resonate with cost analysis staff and leaders alike. There is no doubt in my mind that adherence to these principles will enable our community to perform at a high level. Of course, these people-oriented principles are but one dimension of the blueprint for high performing cost analysis organizations. Check this space for future articles on the other dimensions. In the meantime, read President/CEO Al Leung's related article, My Beloved Profession, available at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/my-beloved-profession-al-leung/.
Rick Collins draws upon over 35 years of cost estimating, analysis and research experience. As Technical Director, he is responsible for our delivery excellence program. He maintains the Technomics Technical Excellence standards and ensures that our analysts are provided proper training and development opportunities. He also performs technical quality reviews on our projects. Mr. Collins previously served as CEO of the company.


Sarah and Brandon won our Free Bridals Contest that Elizabeth and I posted a few months back. It was so hard to pick the winner, but me and Elizabeth fell in love with their story.
Brandon & Sarah met in church. They talked and got to know each other a little, but didn't go on their first date until this dinner that Brandon had going on. Except he didn't bring Sarah. He had already asked another gal, so Sarah was asked by his friend. So they were both there and Brandon was making eyes at Sarah the whole time. After the dinner, he dropped off his date and met up with Sarah. From then on, they became boyfriend and girlfriend and a few months later, they were engaged.
But seriously, this couple is the cutest. I love how sweet and gentle Brandon is with her. You'll see it in the pictures. And Sarah is so funny and such a spitfire. I love it! And I love her accent! The first look was so sweet and kind of emotional! It was, tender. Sarah told me before that Brandon better cry. Well, he was super happy and Sarah was the one that cried when he first saw her. It was so cute! I'm so happy for them and wish them the very best!
Elizabeth and I collaborated with some pretty awesome girls! Amy of Beauty by Blood did Sarah's hair and makeup. Holy amazing! I recommend professional makeup for every photoshoot.
Mel of Mel Haupt Floral made the most gorgeous bouquet! She is pretty dang talented herself. She also made a bout and a gorgeous hair piece and crown for Sarah. Flower make a world of difference too I feel. They add such a gorgeous touch to the pictures.
This experience was so wonderful! I want to do it again!

Пи́лос () — город в Греции на Пелопоннесе. Расположен на побережье бухты Наварин Ионического моря — одной из удобнейших в Средиземноморье в 40 километрах к юго-западу от Каламаты. Административный центр общины Пилос-Нестор в периферийной единице Месинии в периферии Пелопоннес. Население 2345 жителей по переписи 2011 года.

Древний Пилос. Дворец Нестора

Древний город Пилос находился в 13 километрах к северу от современного города в окрестностях хребта Ано-Энглианос (). Обнаружен в 1939 году и был исследован археологами Константиносом Куруньотисом и Карлом Блегеном. Расцвет Пилоса пришелся на период с 1300 до 1200 годов до н. э. Разрушен большим пожаром в конце XIII века до н. э. или в начале XII века до н. э. Раскопки были прекращены с началом Второй мировой войны и продолжены с 1952 года по настоящее время. В результате была обнаружена древняя столица мифологического царя Нестора, о чём свидетельствуют руины огромного дворца Нестора (ок. 1700—1200 гг. до н. э.). Это самый сохранившийся дворец микенского периода, комплекс из четырех основных и нескольких небольших зданий, имеющий 105 комнат. Дворец был двухэтажным и украшен фресками. Найдены 1100 табличек с Линейным письмом Б.

В 425 году до н. э. Пилос был взят афинянами после морской битвы между флотами Афин и Спарты; впрочем, Фукидид отмечает, что город в то время был заброшен.

Палеокастро

Крепость Палеокастро, относящаяся к периоду франкократии после Четвёртого крестового похода, находится в 7 километрах к северо-западу от Пилоса на холме Корифасионе () у узкого входа, называемого Сикийский проезд, в гавань Наварин к северу от острова Сфактирии, к югу от пляжа Войдокилья (). Изначально называлась Наварин (, , ) или Аварин (, ). Франки называли её Порт де Жэнш () от  ситник. Построена на северной оконечности холма Корифасиона в 1287 году  (), ставшим ахейским князем после смерти Гильома II де Виллардуэн. Стены крепости были относительно тонкими, но высокими, вход в нее устроен был с юга.

После поражения в битве при Модоне в августе 1500 года, крепость сдана без боя османскому султану Баязиду II. Получила название Палеокастро, «Старая крепость», после постройки Неокастро или Нео-Наварино, «Нового Наварина» на южной стороне бухты. В венецианский и османский периоды была расширена на юг.

После трёхмесячной осады в 1821 году греческими повстанцами крепость была сдана турецким гарнизоном. Повстанцами удерживалась до 1825 года, когда после осады турецко-египетскими флотом и армией была сдана Ибрагим-паше. В бухте Наварин в октябре 1827 года состоялось Наваринское сражение между союзным русско-франко-английским флотом и турецко-египетским флотом, закончившееся поражением Ибрагим-паши. В 1828 году был основан новый Пилос, и крепость Палеокастро была заброшена.

Ньокастро
Крепость Неокастро  построена турками в 1573 году после поражения в 1571 году в битве при Лепанто для защиты широкого южного входа в гавань Наварин и контроля морского торгового пути в Адриатическое море. Крепость имела толстые низкие наклонные стены, способные выдержать огонь артиллерии, и мощные бастионы. Два бастиона, так называемый Седьмой и Санта-Мария (), были направлены в сторону моря и защищали бухту и вход в неё. В самом высоком месте был возведён замок с сухим рвом, шестью пятиконечными бастионами и 60 пушками. Вход в крепость находился на юго-восточной стороне. В крепости находилась мечеть, превращенная после освобождения в церковь Преображения Спасителя. В ходе турецко-венецианской войны в 1686 году перешла к венецианцам. В ходе следующей турецко-венецианской войны в 1715 году вернулась к туркам. В 1770 году в ходе Наваринского боя крепость взята русскими экспедиционными войсками Первой Архипелагской экспедиции под руководством Алексея Григорьевича Орлова. После трёхмесячной осады в 1821 году греческими повстанцами крепость была сдана турецким гарнизоном. Английский историк Джордж Финлей в своей книге A History of Greece, написанной через 20 лет после событий, пишет, со слов греческого священника, о Наваринской резне, избиении сдавшихся турок крепости Ньокастро, чего не случилось однако со сдавшимися турками крепости Палеокастро. Крепость удерживалась повстанцами до 1825 года, когда после осады турецко-египетскими флотом и армией крепость сдана Ибрагим-паше. В бухте Наварин в октябре 1827 года состоялось Наваринское сражение между союзным русско-франко-английским флотом и турецко-египетским флотом, закончившееся поражением Ибрагим-паши. В 1828 году был основан Пилос и Ньокастро была заброшена, замок крепости превращён в тюрьму.

Современный Пилос
В 1828 году французский экспедиционный корпус под командованием Николя Жозефа Мезона занимает Наварин и Мезон основывает Пилос.

Наука
В районе города Пилос работает проект NESTOR — международная научная коллаборация, работающая над созданием подводного нейтринного телескопа.

Сообщество Пилос
В общинное сообщество Пилос входит пять населённых пунктов и остров Сфактирия. Население 2767 жителей по переписи 2011 года. Площадь 38,476 квадратного километра.

Население

Уроженцы
 Циклитирас, Константинос (1888—1913) — золотой призёр Летних Олимпийских игр 1912 в прыжках в длину, бронзовый в прыжках в высоту.

Q: Override the Default ViewEngine to Look in Different Directories I created an area in Visual Studio which automatically adds the appropriate bits in the "Areas" directory. I renamed this to "Modules" but now when i navigate to /{area}/{controller/{action} it still looks for the view within the /Areas/{area}/Views/{controller/{action} directory and not the /Modules/{area}/Views/{controller/{action} directory. I would also like to be able to override the view for specific themes. Therefore i was wondering how i could customise the default view engine to look for the view in the following locations aswell:

*

*/Themes/Default/Views/{area}/{controller}/{action}.cshtml

*/Modules/{area}/Views/{controller}/{action}.cshtml

I'd really appreciate it if someone could help.
Thanks

A: As ASP.NET MVC source code is available, it is easy to answer these kinds of questions by looking at the source. If you look at the WebFormViewEngine class you can see the locations listed and it will be easy for you to inherit from this and customise them.
However, not going with the code by convention approach is just going to make your life harder so I'd advise living with the default locations.

A: Here's the code incase anyone is interested:
public class CustomRazorViewEngine : RazorViewEngine {
    public CustomRazorViewEngine()
        : this(null) {
    }

    public CustomRazorViewEngine(IViewPageActivator viewPageActivator)
        : base(viewPageActivator) {
        AreaViewLocationFormats = new[] {
            "~/Themes/Default/Views/{2}/{1}/{0}.cshtml",
            "~/Themes/Default/Views/{2}/Shared/{0}.cshtml",
            "~/Modules/{2}/Views/{1}/{0}.cshtml",
            "~/Modules/{2}/Views/Shared/{0}.cshtml"
        };
        AreaMasterLocationFormats = new[] {
            "~/Themes/Default/Views/{2}/{1}/{0}.cshtml",
            "~/Themes/Default/Views/{2}/Shared/{0}.cshtml",
            "~/Modules/{2}/Views/{1}/{0}.cshtml",
            "~/Modules/{2}/Views/Shared/{0}.cshtml"
        };
        AreaPartialViewLocationFormats = new[] {
            "~/Themes/Default/Views/{2}/{1}/{0}.cshtml",
            "~/Themes/Default/Views/{2}/Shared/{0}.cshtml",
            "~/Modules/{2}/Views/{1}/{0}.cshtml",
            "~/Modules/{2}/Views/Shared/{0}.cshtml"
        };
    }
}

Now just place the following in the Application_Start event in the Global.asax.cs file:
ViewEngines.Engines.Clear();
ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new CustomRazorViewEngine());

Hope this helps.

A: The code you posted is very similar to what I wound up doing a few months ago.
I also have a preprocessing step (run on-demand or at compile time) which finds all of the .cshtml files in the site folder hierarchy and adds their relative paths to a table in the database. The site caches that data on startup. The custom view engine then searches that list for views, and only checks the disk when it finds a match.
This performs very, very well. Avoiding disk access will probably only help if you're running a very busy site. Even though disk access is very slow, it's typically not a performance bottleneck and ASP.NET performs its own intelligent caching.

This is the most frequent asked question when having a tattoo. And the answer is YES.
Since having tattoo is to use a needle to poke at you, so it definitely hurts. Yet, how much does a tattoo hurts is still case-by-case.


Steven Brett Cason, 37 of Rome, was arrested this week after reports said he placed an elderly woman in fear of her safety.

Wassailing (good word) with friends and family to begrudgingly returning to your dead end job and annoying co-workers.
Delighting at all the delicious food on the table to agonizing over the fat lardo you now see in the mirror.
Relishing the joy in the children's faces when they open your gifts to wanting to rip the batteries out that damn noisy piece of crap and smash it into little tiny pieces.
- Bob Wylie is expected to be named as our new O-line coach. Wylie spent last season as Winnipeg's O-line coach. Now this fact should be cause for alarm but Wylie has a strong track record as an O-line coach including some time in the NFL. So although he may be slightly tainted from his time in Winnipeg, it's nothing a good delousing can't fix.
- Dave Ritchie and Gary Etcheverry appear to be the front runners to replace Richie Hall as defensive coordinator. I'm leaning towards Richie which would be great news for our defense… there are few DC's around that are of the same calibre as Hall but Dave Ritchie is definitely one of them. It would also make things easier on me as I could continue to refer to our DC as Richie (I'm lazy what can I say).
- 17 Riders are poised to become free-agents. This list is as follows: Jamie Boreham, Tristan Clovis, Darian Durant (who has already agreed to a new contract), D.J. Flick, Lance Frazier, Scott Gordon, Sean Lucas, Neal Hughes, Mike McCullough, Anton McKenzie, Maurice Lloyd, Belton Johnson (who has also agreed to a new deal), Gene Makowsky, Steve Morley, Mike Abou-Mechrek, Jeremy O'Day and Renauld Williams. Wow, most of our O-line and any linebacker not named Yannick set to hit the free-agent market… yup Tillman certainly loves to keep things interesting.
- One free agent in particular is the hottest topic in Riderville… Mo Lloyd. Now the Riders have made a significant 6 figure offer to Lloyd but he has yet to respond. While many see this as a sure sign that Lloyd is skipping town, all this really means is that Lloyd wants to wait until Feb 15 to see what other teams are willing to offer before deciding… it's business plain a simple. Though I do find it humourous how in a few weeks time Lloyd went from being seen by the fans as the heart and soul of our defense to an outspoken, me-first player we don't want back anyway... when nothing at all has happened.
- Congrats to Kent Austin and the Ole Miss Rebels for upsetting Texas Tech to win the Cotton Bowl… with an offensive scheme that I found oddly familiar.
- Speaking of College football… after seeing this year's list of bowl games I say that Americans have no right to bash the CFL playoffs where pretty much everyone gets in. How is college football any different? What where there like 72 bowl games!? Actually there were 34 but they are looking at adding 5 more next year. I guess only having 68 teams play in bowl game wasn't enough for the NCAA.
- With such prestigious bowls as the Chick-A-Fil Bowl, Meineke Car Care Bowl and Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl, I've decided that next year I will sponsor 2 of my own college bowl games: the "Rider Prophet Bowl" and the "Everyone Stupid Enough To Watch This Is A Douche Bag Bowl"… from what I hear the NCAA is very interested in this proposal.
Hmm... Knowlton and now Otis Floyd… Hamilton is running out of room to steal all our linebackers like some had predicted.
For me the re-signing of McCarty is a strong indication that Jesse Lumsden will indeed become an Eskimo. Last season Hamilton had ratio problems when Lumsden played. When he subbed out for his Import back-up, Hamilton had to juggle their O-line. Given that the Esks already have a Canadian feature back they won't have this same problem. Plus, Lumsden's fragility won't be an issue in Edmonton as they only run the ball 3 times a game and that's about on pace with how many carries Lumsden can handle per season.
While I know relatively little about Darnerien McCants (other than he's played in the NFL as well as a brief stint with Hamilton) but if I were a GM I would shy away from a guy with the last name McCants… just seems like he has a preordained fate… as evidenced by the fact that he wasn't good enough for Hamilton.
Yet another news story out of Toronto that the rest of country could care less about… Go figure.


Does Tinnitus Go Away On Its Own? - Will This Tinnitus Go Away On Its Own, How Long Should I Wait And What Can I Do To Get Rid Of Tinnitus?
1. Does Tinnitus Go Away On Its Own? Will This Tinnitus Go Away On Its Own, How Long Should I Wait And What Can I Do To Get Rid Of Tinnitus?
2. Will Tinnitus Go Away On Its Own?• That depends on how much damage has been caused in the first place.• Most tinnitus is caused by damage to the cochlea (the inner ear) or sinus problems.• If the tinnitus has been caused by loud noise it can go away on its own within a few days as the ear injury may be only temporary.• If caused by a mild infection or blockage the tinnitus can clear up once the cause is removed.• Noise, a more serious ear infection or a blow to the head may have caused more severe damage to the cochlea in which case it will not go on its own and you will need to do something about it.
3. How Does Ear Damage Cause Tinnitus?• Tinnitus is a result of how your brain is now processing sound given the damage to your ear.• In order to understand why you have tinnitus it is important to know how the ear works, what can go wrong and how this causes tinnitus.• The ear is divided into three parts: the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear.
4. What Each Part Of The Ear Does• The outer ear takes sound pressure waves from the outside world and funnels them towards the eardrum which vibrates and then pushes them into the middle ear.• The tiny delicate bones of the middle ear move to push the sound into the fluid of the cochlea – a shell-like structure.• Here the waves are picked up by the brain and translated into meaningful information which the brain understands.• That is – if everything is working properly.
5. The Importance Of The Cochlea• The cochlea contains 20,000 to 30,000 reed-like fibers.• The fibers nearest to the middle ear are short and stiff.• As we move further round the cochlea the fibers get progressively longer and more flexible.• Each of these fibers has a different resonant frequency i.e. a pitch at which it vibrates.• Each sound wave travels along the cochlea until it reaches the fibers with the same resonant frequency. Energy is then released.
6. Interpretation By The Brain• The organ of corti sits on top of the cochlea.• It contains thousand of hair cells.• When a sound wave hits the fiber in the cochlea and releases energy, this energy hits the organ of corti hair cells at that point.• This sends an impulse through the cochlear nerve which sends this to the cerebral cortex where the brain interprets it.• The brain is able to interpret the pitch (based on the position of the hair cells) and the volume (based on the number of hair cells affected).
7. How Things Go Wrong• This is great when things are working properly.• Problems occur when the reed-like fibers in the cochlea are damaged (which they can be by exposure to loud noise either suddenly or over a prolonged period of time).• If fibers for a particular resonant frequency are damaged it means that the brain doesn't receive a signal for that particular sound.• It is like hitting a piano key and there being no sound.
8. How Is Your Brain Causing Tinnitus?• In the absence of sound at a certain pitch the brain compensates and tries to fill in the gaps by creating phantom sounds.• The result is the wide variety of noises – which can be bangs, whistles, whooshing noises, chirping, buzzing and ringing sounds – that we know as tinnitus.• But that isn't all.• It now gets itself all agitated by these sounds.• Why? Because of the limbic system.
9. The Limbic System• The limbic system of your brain, amongst other things, deals with your emotional responses.• The auditory system is wired directly into your brain's threat detection system. It totally bypasses the analytical part of the cortex.• Your brain filters out sounds that it doesn't regard as a threat by making sense of the sounds.• With tinnitus it can't make sense of the sounds and puts you on alert.• The result is that you go into 'fight or flight' mode ready to fight or run from the danger it perceives as imminent.• It is operating your primitive safety mechanism.
10. How Long Should I Wait?• Don't wait for ages hoping that it will suddenly sort itself out.• You do not want to spend any longer than you have to having sleepless nights and with the noise driving you mad.• If it has not cleared up within a week go and get it checked out.• If it has not been caused by loud noise, an ear infection or a bang to the head you should try to establish the cause.• If it has come on suddenly for no reason it is important to get it checked out as in rare cases tinnitus can be a symptom of an aneurysm or brain tumor.• And then you can get on with getting rid of your tinnitus.
11. How Can I Get Rid Of Tinnitus?• There is a simple system that puts you in control of your tinnitus instead of it controlling you.• It enables you to rid yourself of tinnitus without drugs and without surgery.• It puts you back in charge of your health and well-being.• It is a permanent solution with no side effects.

Nieuw-Nederland, or New Netherland, was the seventeenth-century colonial province of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands on northeastern coast of North America. The claimed territory were the lands from the Delmarva Peninsula to southern Cape Cod. Settled areas are now part of the northeastern states of Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and southwestern Connecticut. There were small outposts in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Its capital, New Amsterdam, was located at the southern tip of the island of Manhattan on the Upper New York Bay. The most developed part of the province roughly corresponds to today's Tri-State area (New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut).

Overview
Placenames in most cases had their roots in Dutch and the Algonquian languages, and occasionally the Iroquoian Mohawk. At the time of European settlement it was the territory of the various Native American groups. In many cases the names of the Natives Americans used today were taken from the word for the place they made their villages, or their sagamore. Both the Americans and the New Netherlanders often gave names inspired by the geography or geology of the natural environment and described a shape, location, feature, quality, or phenomenon.

The Lenape population, who had the most frequent contact with the New Netherlanders, were seasonally migrational groups around the New York Bay and along the Lower Hudson who became known collectively as the River Indians. Among them were the Wecquaesgeek and Siwanoy (to the north on the east side of the Hudson River); the Hackensack, Raritan, the Ramapough, and Tappan (to the west); and the Canarsee and Rockaway (on western Long Island).

The Munsee inhabited the Highlands and western Hudson Valley. The Susquehannock, who lived along the Zuyd Rivier, were called the Minquas. The Mohawk, an Iroquois people, inhabited the Albany region, and the valley that now bears the name. The Mahicans, defeated by the Mohawks, retreated to the Housatonic River region soon after the arrival of the Dutch.

The Native Americans used wampum for transcription. The Swannekins, or Salt Water People (as the Europeans were called), used the Latin alphabet to write down the words they heard from the Wilden (as the Lenape were called). These approximations were no doubt greatly influenced by Dutch, which was the lingua franca of the multilingual province. Some names still exist in their altered form, their current spelling (and presumably pronunciation) having evolved over the last four centuries into American vernacular.

Early settlers and their descendants often "Batavianized" names for geographical locations, the exonyms, rather than by their autonym, subsequently becoming the name of the Native Americans used today. In some cases it cannot be confirmed, or there is contention, as to whether the roots are in the Dutch or native tongue as sources do not always concur. Some can have several interpretations, while locative suffixes vary depending on the Algonquian language dialect that prevailed. Kill, meaning stream or channel, wyck meaning district,
(or its English equivalents wick and wich), and hook meaning point are often seen.

Dutch surnames abound throughout the region as avenues, lakes, parks. Orange and Nassau come from the "first family" of the Dutch Republic, a dynasty of nobles traditionally elected "Stadtholder." William III of England was also prince of Orange, succeeding to the English throne through the conquest known as the Glorious Revolution, so the appellation Orange, though sometimes named for the English king in this period, reflects his Dutch birth and dynasty.

A

Acquackanonk
The name of a Unami group who lived along and between the banks of the Passaic Neck and the name of one of the state's first townships, established in 1683. Meaning "a place in a rapid stream where fishing is done with a net," alternatively, "at the lamprey stream" from the contemporary axkwaakahnung. Spellings include  Achquakanonk, Acquackanonk, Auchaquackanock, and Ackquekenon.

Achter Col
Called Meghgectecock by the Lenape, this described the area around Newark Bay and the rivers that flowed into it. Neither are any longer in use. Achter, meaning "behind," and kol, meaning "neck," can be translated as the back (of the) peninsula, in this case Bergen Neck.
Variations include Achter Kol, Achter Kull, Archer Col, Achter Kull. A col is a gap or pass between mountains, in this case Bergen Hill and the Watchung Mountains, the flood-plain of Hackensack River and Passaic River providing a passage between the them, thus, rear pass or rear passage.

Amsterdam
After the Dutch capital, originally a dam on the Amstel River founded in 1275.

Arresick
A tidal island, site of the first ferry landing for the patroonship Pavonia, which became Paulus Hook.
Spellings include Arresick, Arressechhonk, and Aresick, meaning "burial ground."

Arthur Kill
Tidal strait separating Staten Island from the mainland. From kille, meaning "water channel," such as a riverbed, rivulet, or stream. Likely to have evolved from Achter Col, the name given by the New Netherlanders for the area surrounding Newark Bay and the waters that flowed into it, as English-speakers immigrated to the region radiating from the Elizabethtown Tract and Perth Amboy.

B

Barnegat
Originally Barendegat or "Inlet of the Breakers" for the waterway's turbulent channel.

Bedloe's Island
Now known as Liberty Island, under Dutch sovereignty the island became the property of Isaack Bedloo, merchant and "select burgher" of New Amsterdam, and one of 94 signers of the "Remonstrance of the People of New Netherlands to the Director-General and Council".

Bergen

Bergen Square
The forerunner of Hudson and Bergen counties.  Believed to come from the word bergen, which in Dutch and other Germanic languages of northern Europe means "mountains" or "hills", and could describe a most distinct geological feature of the region, the Palisades. Another interpretation is that it comes from the Dutch verb bergen as meaning "to save or recover" or the noun "place of safety", inspired by the settlers' return after they had fled attacks by the native population during the Peach Tree War. Some say that it is named for Bergen op Zoom in the Netherlands or the city in Norway.

Bergen Street
In the contemporary borough of Brooklyn,
Bergen Street was named for the family of one of the earliest settlers of Nieuw Amsterdam, Hans Hansen Bergen, who arrived in the province of New Netherland in 1633 as a ship's carpenter. He came from Bergen, Norway, and was one of the few Scandinavian settlers of Nieuw Amsterdam (New York City). Bergen initially settled on Pearl Street in Lower Manhattan and later owned extensive plantations elsewhere on the island. Bergen later married Sarah Rapelje, the first child born in New York state of European parents.

Beversreede
The fort on the Schuylkill River. A possible translation could be "Beavers Gap," from bever ("beaver") and reet (opening / cleft), which would speak to its location where it enters the Delaware. More probably reede meant a "quai" in the harbor (cf. today's Dutch rede). Alternatively,  adjacent to (or opposite) the fort was the terminus of the Great Minquas Path, an 80-mile (130 km) trail from the Susquehanna River to the Schuylkill River. This was the primary trade route for furs from the Susquehannock people, and the Dutch named the trail Beversreede, "Beaver Road." However, 'rede' is Dutch for roadstead (anchorage) so the explanation 'quai' makes the most sense.

Beverwyck
Loosely, "Beavertown," to refer a fur-trading community north of Fort Orange. It is unlikely to be named after Beverwijk in the Netherlands, whose name comes from Bedevaartswijk, "pilgrimage neighbourhood." (Agatha of Sicily allegedly appeared there in the 9th century to a virgin from nearby Velsen.)

Blauvelt
From a Dutch family name. The first Blauvelt in America was a peasant farmer who worked on Kiliaen van Rensselaer's estate cultivating tobacco in 1638. The same Dutch family name lies at the origin of Bluefields Bay in Jamaica and Bluefields in Nicaragua – after Abraham Blauvelt, Dutch trader, explorer, pirate and privateer. He operated from New Amsterdam from 1644.

Block Island
Named after the explorer Adriaen Block who used the island as a base from which to survey the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound.

Bloomingdale
The "valley of flowers," it is likely named for a village in the Netherlands, the Upper West Side in general (its northern reaches now as known as the Bloomingdale District) may have had some characteristics that would have reminded the Netherlanders of their home: close to the shore with a sandy bluff, with many small valleys or (dells). In analogy to the Dutch village of Bloemendaal lying next to the town of Haarlem, so the Dutch settlers seemed to have named the small settlement next to the village of Harlem on Manhattan.

Bowery
Bouwerij was the old Dutch word for farm (contemporary boerderij). The Dutch West India Company mapped out land for farms on Manhattan north of New Amsterdam, the first of which, "Bouerij 1" (later known as Stuyvesant Farm) was reserved for the support of the colony's director-general. It became the personal property of Petrus Stuyvesant, the person to hold the position.

Broadway
Breede weg was used throughout English-speaking areas to refer to a wide (broad) path (way).

Breuckelen
The first of the six Dutch towns of Brooklyn settled in 1646, generally believed to be after the town in the Netherlands, in the province of Utrecht, now spelled .

The Bronx
Named after Jonas Bronck, the first recorded European settler to the peninsula. It was called Rananchqua by the native Siwanoy band of Lenape, while other Native Americans knew the Bronx as Keskeskeck. It was divided by the Aquahung River. The Bronck family later moved upstate and built Bronck House.

Brooklyn

Early maps refer to western Long Island as Gebroken Land, or "Broken Land," though most believe the city, and later borough, was named for the Dutch town whose contemporary spelling is .
Some say the name evolved from Breuckelen, to Brockland, to Brocklin, to Brookline, and eventually, Brooklyn.

Bushwick
The last of the six Dutch towns of Brooklyn settled in 1661 as Boswijck, in essence "little town in the woods," though a literal translation would be "woods district."

C

Canarsie
Canarsie stems from the Lenape language for "fenced land" or "fort." The current neighborhood in Brooklyn lies within the former town of Flatlands, one of the five original Dutch towns on Long Island.

Casimir
Fort Casimir The trading post was named for Ernst Casimir of Nassau-Dietz,  count of Nassau-Dietz and Stadtholder of Friesland, Groningen and Drenthe in the Netherlands.

Cape Henlopen
After Thijmen Jacobsz Hinlopen, wealthy grain trader and business partner of Cornelius Jacobsz May who helped finance explorations of the region.

Cape May
After Cornelius Jacobsz May.

Catskill
Kil is the Dutch word for a river inlet. This one is named after the Sachem named Cats.

Caven Point
The Caven Point settlement at Minkakwa on the west shore of the Upper New York Bay between Pamrapo and Communipaw was part of Pavonia, and now part of Liberty State Park. The name Caven is an anglicisation of the Dutch word Kewan. which in turn was a "Batavianized" derivative of an Algonquian word meaning peninsula.

Claverack
Rack or rak is a straight stretch of river good for anchorage, one named for theclover that grew on its banks of the Hudson River

Cohoes
Once part of the Manor of Rensselaerswyck. Believed to arise from a Mohawk expression Ga-ha-oose which refers to Cohoes Falls and means Place of the Falling Canoe

Colonie
Once part of the Manor of Rensselaerswyck, now north of Albany

Collect Pond
Fresh Water Pond near the southern tip of Manhattan, covering approximately 48 acres (194,000 m²) and running as deep as . The pond was fed by an underground spring, and its outflow ran through the Lispenard Meadows marshes to the Hudson River. The nameCollect is a corruption of the Dutch word kolch (a small body of water), which was subsequently corrupted to kalch, and so on until it became Collect.

Communipaw
Site of summer encampment and counsel fire of the Hackensack Indians.
Spellings include Gamoenapa, Gemonepan, Gemoenepaen, Gamenepaw, Comounepaw, Comounepan, Communipau, Goneuipan
From gamunk, on the other side of the river, and pe-auke, water-land, meaning big landing-place from the other side of the river.
Contemporary: gamuck meaning other side of the water or otherside of the river or landing place at the side of a river
Site of first "bouwerie" built at Pavonia and called Jan de Lacher's Hoeck
some have suggested that it comes from Community of Pauw, which likely is more a coincidence that a fact.

Colen Donck
Now Yonkers, from homestead of Jonkheer or Jonker (meaning esquire) Adriaen van der Donck.

Coney Island
Konynen Eylant meaning Rabbit Island

Connecticut
Mohegan quinnitukqut, meaning "place of long tidal river".

Constable Hook
A land grant to Jacob Jacobsen Roy who was a chief gunner or constable in Fort Amsterdam in New Amsterdam in 1646, by the Dutch West India Company, under the leadership of Director of New Netherland William Kieft.  Konstapel's Hoeck in Dutch, takes its name from Roy's title.
A hoek or hoeck in Dutch meaning a spit of land or small peninsula. Though not used, could be translated to English as Gunner's Point.

Cortelyou
Cortelyou Road in Brooklyn is named for Jacques Cortelyou, New Netherland's Surveyor General, who owned land in the area of Flatbush.

Cortlandt
From the prominent family Van Cortlandt, including Stephanus van Cortlandt (born 1643) the first native born mayor of New York (1677–1678; 1686–1688)

Cromakill
Likely from kromme kille meaning crooked creek, border between Secaucus and North Bergen. Similar to evolution of
Gramercy, which is a corruption of the krom mesje, or little crooked knife, the name of a small brook that flowed along what is now 21st Street in Manhattan.

Cresskill
From the watercress that grew in its streams, or kills

D

Danskammer
Dutch, literally dance chamber, meaning ballroom.  On their voyage upriver in 1609 Henry Hudson's crew supposedly saw Native Americans dancing around a fire at the site and thought they were looking at "the Devil's dance chamber". There was once a lighthouse, Danskammer Point Light, at the site.

According to local histories and an historic marker at the site, Dunkerhook was once home to a population of African Americans, many or all of whom were slaves, as well as a "slave school" and "slave church." However, primary historic documentation establishes that Dunkerhook was populated not by slaves, but rather primarily by free African Americans.

Gravesend
Settled in 1645 under Dutch patent by English followers of Anabaptist Lady Deborah Moody. Some speculate that it was named after the English seaport of Gravesend, Kent. An alternative explanation suggests that it was named by Director of New Netherland Willem Kieft for the Dutch settlement of Gravesande, which means Count's Beach or Count's Sand. 's-Gravenzande is a city in the Netherlands.

Guilderland
Popular lore has it that is comes from Moneyland, explained as referring to early Dutch settler's assumption that the large amount of sand in the area could generate a profitable glass industry. More likely is that it derives from the name of the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands, from whence came many Dutch settlers. It may have been originally Gelterland or Gelterlan. Until the introduction of the euro, modern Dutch currency was the guilder.

H

Hackensack
The meadowlands, river and city, the Lenape Hackensack tribe and their territory, take their name from site of semi-permanent encampment on the neck between the river and Overpeck Creek, near the Teaneck Ridge.
Variously translated as place of stony ground or place of sharp ground.
Spellings include Ahkingeesahkuy, Achsinnigeu-haki, Achinigeu-hach, Ack-kinkas-hacky, Achkinhenhcky, Ackingsah-sack, Ackinckeshacky, Hackinsack Alternatively, suggested as the place where two rivers come together on low ground or stream which discharges itself into another on the level ground, which would speak to the confluence of the Hackensack and Overpeck Creek or Passaic River.

Although the settlers were from the English colony of Connecticut, a patent was issued by New Amsterdam after the settlers had purchased land from the local natives. The town may have been named for either Hemel Hempstead in the United Kingdom or the Dutch city of Heemstede, a town south of Haarlem, Netherlands. Site of early English incurisons in New Netherland by New Englanders, in 1643

Hoboken
"Batavianization" of the Lenape tobacco pipe, from hoopookum or hupoken.
Most likely to refer to the soapstone collected there to carve tobacco pipes, in a phrase that became Hopoghan Hackingh or place of stone for the tobacco pipe.
(Contemporary: Hopoakan meaning pipe for smoking)
Alternatively from Hoebuck, old Dutch for high bluff and likely referring to Castle Point Variations used during the colonial era included Hobock, Hobocan,Hoboocken, and Hobuck, Although the spellingHoboken was used by the English as early as 1668, it doesn't appear that until Col. John Steven purchased the land on which the city is situated that it became common.
Some would believe the city to be named after European town of the same name. The Flemish Hoboken, annexed in 1983 to Antwerp, Belgium, is derived from Middle Dutch Hooghe Buechen or Hoge Beuken, meaning High Beeches or Tall Beeches. Established in 1135, the New Netherlanders were likely aware of its existence (and may have pronounced the Lenape to conform a more familiar sound), but it is doubtful that the city on the Hudson is named for it.

Housatonic
From the Mohican phrase usi-a-di-en-uk translated as beyond the mountain place.

Hudson
The river, county, city and numerous other places that bear this name most likely do so for the English sea captain Henry Hudson who explored the region in 1609, establishing a claim for the Dutch East Indies Company and Dutch Republic.

A 1610 map depicts the nameManahata twice, on both the west and east sides of the Mauritius River (later named the Hudson River). The word "Manhattan" has been translated as island of many hills. The Encyclopedia of New York City offers other derivations, including from the Munsee dialect of Lenape:manahachtanienk ("place of general inebriation"), manahatouh ("place where timber is procured for bows and arrows"), or menatay("island").

Maspeth
From  Mespeatches  translated as at the bad waterplace relating to the many stagnant swamps that existed in the area.

Maspat became the first European settlement in Queens.  The settlement was leveled the following year in an attack by Native Indians, and the surviving settlers returned to Manhattan. It wasn't until nine years later, in 1652, that settlers ventured back to the area, settling an area slightly inland from the previous Maspat

Ossining
Early 17th-century Dutch maps of the Hudson River Valley show an Indian village, whose inhabitants were part of the Mohegan Tribe, named "Sint Sinck." That phrase, when translated, means "stone upon stone" and refers to the extensive beds of limestone found in the southern part of the village.
In 1685, the Sint Sincks sold their land to Frederick Philipse who incorporated it into his land holdings known as the Manor of Philipsburg. The Manor comprised about  and extended from Spuyten Duyvil Creek at the tip of Manhattan on the south to the Croton River just north of the Village of Ossining.

Rondout
A tributary of the Hudson River in Ulster and Sullivan counties Rondout  comes from the fort, or redoubt, that was erected near its mouth The Dutch equivalent of the English word redoubt (a fort or stronghold), is reduyt. In the Dutch records of Wildwyck, however, the spelling used to designate this same fort is invariably Ronduyt during the earliest period, with the present form rondout (often capitalized) appearing as early as 22 November 1666. The Dutch word ronduyt is an adjective meaning "frankly" or "positively." The word could also be broken down into its components and translated, literally, "round-out." However, it seems unlikely that the inhabitants of Esopus had any special meaning in mind when they corrupted the Dutch word reduyt into ronduyt and rondout. Most likely, this corrupting process merely represented the simplification of a word (reduyt).

Rotterdam

Vriessendael
A small bowery or homestead established in 1640 at today's Edgewater, meaning Vries' Valley, after its owner, David Pietersen de Vries.

Vriedelandt

For the indigenous peoples, it was not only important for its arable land but for its geological resources. The river and its valley are abundant in flint and chert, from which they made spear points and arrowheads. European settlers of the region named it first the Palse River, after New Paltz. Later, when it was clear that the river continued well beyond the original New Paltz patent, it took after the Waal river in their native Netherlands. However, more likely is that the name derives from the 'Walen' or Walloons, referring to the Huguenots who fled from their homelands in the western border area of France and present-day Belgium to the Pfalz and from there to New Netherlands. They worked their way down it from the Hudson Valley in the 17th century, and were followed by the British after the colony changed hands.

Other sources suggest it may have been a native corruption of wapendragers, the Dutch word for "weapon-bearers".

Watchung
The place of mountains from watchtsu, which describes the three ridges west of the Meadowlands.

The FDA has approved the PVA Pod System for percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA). The device is made by Crosstrees Medical, a Boulder, Colorado based medical device company. PVA is a minimally invasive procedure to augment a vertebra that has fractured due to vertebral compression fracture. A vertebral compression fracture occurs when osteoporosis, trauma, or any other medical condition causes the vertebra to become fragile and collapse, causing severe pain. Vertebral compression fractures can lead to loss of height, postural deformity and pulmonary complications. An estimated 700,000 people in the United States have vertebral compression fractures annually, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation.
The PVA Pod System is designed to control delivery of bone cement and decrease the risk of bone cement leakage associated with vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, the current standards of care for vertebral compression fractures. The Crosstrees Pod System uses a polymer fabric Pod that allows the surgeon to control the flow of bone cement as it is introduced into the vertebral body. During the procedure, the physician will insert the Crosstrees Pod into the fractured vertebra through a very small skin incision. The Pod will be filled with liquid bone cement and then opened and removed so that only the cement remains in the treated bone of the spine. The Crosstrees procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia. Overnight stay in the hospital may not be required after the procedure, the recovery time is short and most patients are ready to walk within hours.

Use information to make the experience better.
In part of my constant travels, I was at a high end country club last week. Country clubs are a great place to be if you want to learn about customer service.
A surprising amount of country clubs don't actually have very good customer service – it is usually acceptable (sometimes a small step above or below that).
Their customers often have very high expectations and can be extremely demanding. It is a tough place to work as a frontline customer service provider as well as a manager. There is a lot to deal with and it is very different than working as an inbound customer service representative for a technology company.
As I was walking by the pavilion where members drive their golf carts after a game of golf to get their clubs cleaned and such, I heard an interesting exchange. The member asked the attendant what the score was for the sports game going on at the time (I think it was a football game). The attendant knew it and told the customer. They started a conversation about sports and discussed a few other scores and games.
The attendant having this information not only provided the customer with a quick, correct answer about the score, but also a way to start a conversation. Starting a conversation and building a rapport with a customer is extremely important to great customer service.
If you have things that you know your customers are interested in (like sports at a country club) and you can use that to relate to your customers, do it. Have your attendants, waiters, etc. know the sports scores and know the general rules about the sports offered. It is little things like that that will end up making a big difference in the long run.
Logistically, this isn't hard to make happen. Employees don't have to memorize and know everything, but a general knowledge is definitely useful. It is not hard at all for employees to look at the television screen when they go for a break and check out the scores.
Various companies can do various things to relate to their customers. Chances are that there is at least one common interest shared by a majority of your customers. It is your job to find out what that common interest is and start relating to it!
This is a good example of speaking the language of your customer. It might not be the original intent of that phrase, but if you know your customer likes sports, then use that to grab their attention with a good discussion.
