American Airlines rolled out a new boarding policy Thursday that allows passengers with one carry-on item that fits under the seats to board planes earlier than others who require overhead bins.
It's all about being able to get to and from destinations on time, the airline says.
"Our tests indicate that this new boarding process will improve our dependability and on-time performance, while being easier and more enjoyable for our customers," Carol Wright, the airline's vice president of customer planning, said in a statement.

August 1, 2014
IRVINE, Ky. (AP) - An apparent gas line explosion lit up the sky
in Estill County, but didn't hurt anyone or burn any homes.
Estill Judge-Executive Wallace Taylor said the blast occurred
about 7 miles from Irvine, along Ky. 89. The Estill County
Emergency Management Agency evacuated about three dozen homes after the blast occurred around 7 p.m. Monday. The houses were within a half-mile of the fire.
Melissa Jessie of the emergency agency said a lot of woods were
on fire for a time, but there were no injury reports.
By 10:30 p.m., the gas supply had been shut off and the fire was
burning itself out.
Columbia Gas of Kentucky spokeswoman Lisa Smith said the
transmission line is owned by Columbia Gulf Transmission, which is
a sister company.

Daily Star
---- —
My last article for The Daily Star appeared shortly after the fifth anniversary of the Flood of 2006 and it seemed an appropriate time to talk about emergency preparedness. Little did I know that two months later we would experience not one, but two bouts of power outages, flooding and destruction.
While Otsego County suffered less damage than our neighbors to the east, south and west, there were many without power for hours or days and experienced flooding and property damage after Irene and some areas of the county experienced flooding and damage to homes, property and roads with Lee. Some near rivers or other areas prone to flooding were evacuated.
There is nothing like experiencing an actual event to bring home the importance of personal preparedness. As Irene was hitting areas to the south of us, I watched the progress on television. At one point, the news personnel were interviewing residents of the areas that were in the proposed path of the storm. People who had weathered storms in the past were talking about what they did to be prepared. One spoke of filling a bath tub with water; another about how a full refrigerator or freezer will stay cold longer than a half empty one.
As it looked like the path of Irene was headed our way, I decided to take some of the advice I had heard and even written about. I filled our bath tub with water and it lasted for our washing and flushing needs for the 2½ days we went without power. I admit that we were conservative. My husband was getting a little tired of me telling him to save his wash water to use for flushing later, but that full tub lasted and would have taken us through another day or two.
I also decided to fill the refrigerator with water and other things to help keep the cold and put containers of water in the freezer to freeze. Many recommend turning both the refrigerator and freezer the whole way up if you expect the possibility of a power outage. I turned ours up some, but not the whole way because ours would then freeze everything in the refrigerator.
After the power went out, we were unable to connect with the dry ice distributions, but by limiting opening and shutting the doors and adding bags of ice we were able to keep everything frozen in the freezer, except a few things in the door, and the refrigerator stayed reasonable cool, but I did throw out anything that I had any doubts about.
We've received a lot of information about what to do before or after a flood or other disasters since Irene and Lee. One that has a lot of good information on a variety of topics is "Don't Be Left in the Dark" from the state Department of Health and can be found by searching its website and downloaded. One of the sections is about keeping food cold or frozen and what to keep and what to throw out. They suggest keeping an appliance thermometer in your refrigerator and freezer so you know if they go above recommended temperatures of 40 degrees or below for the refrigerator and 0 to 10 below zero for the freezer.
It also reinforces the need to have food that needs no refrigeration and can be eaten without cooking. Even though we have a gas stove and can light the burners manually, I found that I really didn't want to cook anything that would need a lot of clean up.
Having a three-to-seven day supply of shelf-stable food and water is just one piece of a personal preparedness plan.
Others include:
"¢ Have important phone numbers listed by the phone and ready to take with you _such as utility/fuel emergency numbers, family, friends and medical providers. Include home, cell, work and other emergency numbers.
"¢ Have a phone that doesn't need electricity (wall-plug style or cell)
"¢ Keep your car's gas tank more than half full
"¢ Make sure you have an adequate supply of medications. Many of us have limits on when medications can be filled, but get them filled as soon as you can for a few months so that you can have a week's supply for an emergency.
"¢ Keep your current list of medications with you.
"¢ Have a "go bag" with a change of clothing, your extra medications, important phone numbers and papers, some cash or travelers checks, flash light and extra batteries, gloves mask, copies of pet vaccinations etc.
"¢ Know how to turn your utilities and/or fuel supply off.
"¢ Make sure your fuel tank is securely fastened to the floor.
"¢ Don't forget to plan for your pet.
These recent events, while devastating to many, were somewhat easier for those of us less affected, since they occurred when outdoor temperatures were warm and loss of power didn't mean loss of heat as well, but we're coming to the time of the year when we need to be prepared for cold weather emergencies. In addition to the above we also need to be prepared to keep warm.
If your heat goes out during a winter storm, close off rooms that you don't need, dress in layers of light-weight clothing and wear a hat, add a blanket, consider bundling with someone close to you. If you have an alternative heating source, make sure it is safe and well-vented.
If you have to evacuate, let someone know where you plan to go and when you plan to get there, no matter what the season of the year. In the winter keep a winter emergency kit in your car. Include a shovel, windshield scraper, blanket, water, snacks, hat and mittens, boots, rain gear, flashlight and extra batteries, a toolkit and cellphone.
We all have a responsibility to be personally prepared for emergencies, and if we are, we will be more comfortable while we are waiting for help or repairs to be made. Check on your family, friends and neighbors, particularly the elderly.
Listen to emergency personnel _ if you're told to evacuate, do so. Not doing so not only puts you at risk, but those who try to help you.
Otsego County residents 60 and older who would like a copy of "Don't Be Left in the Dark," may call the Office for the Aging at 547-4232.
Frances Wright is director of the Otsego County Office for the Aging. 'Senior Scene' columns can be found at www.thedailystar.com/seniorscene.

Latest Reviews for Engagement Rings
I bought an Ideal-cut, G-colour, VVS2-clarity, Round, 1.02-carat Diamond . It is very clear and sparkley but has a slight tinge of yellow. I am delighted with the ring. It took a little longer to come as ships in 5 days means it leaves America in 5 days not arrives in 5 days. Good value.
Perfect ring, it was everything she expected.
The ring is very nicely done, the diamond is beautiful and it looks exactly as on the website. the service was very good, the ring arrived on time, the payment was easy with Paypal, the customer service is easy to reach at anytime. would recommend to anyone.
The ring was much anticipated after weeks spent shopping around for the perfect ring for my now fiancee. I was worried as I didn't get to see the ring and diamond before having to commit and pay for it, but when it arrived and I opened it, I was blown away by how much more beautiful it as than I was expecting. When I proposed to my partner and she saw the ring, she beamed! I couldn't have asked for a better ring and diamond combination.


text: No other consumer product manufacturer has done as well at lifestyle marketing as Harley-Davidson. The Motor Company has done it so well, in fact, that it may have marketed itself into oblivion. Harley's core customer base is aging out of the sport, and its traditional products don't complement the "personal brand" of the next-generation bike buyers who don't-or won't-identify with the slow-rolling, backward-gazing Hog stereotype. The result is slow-sales suicide. Like Harley's stressed-out financial services division, its classic retro styling is overleveraged almost to the point of bankruptcy. These two models-an old-school, air-cooled Dyna Wide Glide and a new-age, liquid-cooled V-Rod Muscle-represent two potential paths to recovery. One roughs up a traditional best-seller with a harder look that's more attractive to younger buyers. The other injects Harley's most modern machine with some crossover appeal to tempt fans of other genres and brands. Which of these bruthas from different muthas works better? The Muscle is the least conventional offering in the three-bike V-Rod line, looking more like an oversized streetfighter than a traditional cruiser. The Muscle is the least conventional offering in the three-bike V-Rod line, looking more l Ever since its 1980 release, the Wide Glide has been one of the most popular customs in Harley's lineup. After a year-long hiatus, the model returns for 2010 re-cast as a backstreet chopper with a longer, lower profile and lots of black paint-a nod to the success of the company's urban-outfitted Dark Custom lineup. It's a wicked-looking bike, especially as tested in Vivid Black, with a clean tail nicked from the Nightster and a low bar set on 4-inch risers. The Muscle, named for the Motor City musclecars that inform its visual language, comes from a different aesthetic universe. The mesh-screened airbox cover acts like a hoodscoop, while five-spoke mag wheels and dual satin-chrome sidepipes could come from an L88 Corvette. The oversized radiator mounted forward of the hydroformed steel frame lets you know this bruiser is liquid-cooled, and the massive rear tire, more than 10 inches across, would look equally at home on a musclecar. A 240mm-wide rear tire looks tough, but compromises the V-Rod's agility. Side-mount license plate lets the shovel-shaped fender ride close to the tire, but you'll walk into it. A 240mm-wide rear tire looks tough, but compromises the V-Rod's agility. Side-mount licens Particularly now that Buell is gone, expect Harley-Davidson to lean harder on its high-tech V-Rod lineup to lure performance-oriented buyers. The view from the Muscle saddle recalls the Buell Lightning, with none of its stubby front end visible beyond that brawny, cast handlebar. Its blunt styling similarly suggests a steroidal Buell XB, scaled up to 125 percent. The slight forward reach to the handlebar feels streetfighterish too, until you find forward foot controls that force you into an odd, toe-touching riding position. The wide saddle (covering the brick-shaped underseat fuel tank) is supportive enough, but with all your mass on your ass, the Muscle isn't comfortable beyond an hour. The Wide Glide uses similarly stretched-out foot controls, though the internally wired drag bar rises a few inches closer to the rider. This provides a more tolerable riding position, but a chassis that makes inevitable concessions to the chopper style cancels out any ergonomic advantages. The rear suspension is 2 inches lower than the standard Super Glide, with a corresponding reduction in ride quality. Up front, the raked-out fork seems as likely to deflect as compress, further compromising compliance. Both bikes' suspension units come from Showa, and are too lightly damped in both directions, causing some unwanted vaulting on choppy pavement. The 150-mph speedo isn't overly optimistic. With an honest 105 bhp and the ability to post an 11-second quarter-mile, the Muscle lives up to its name. The analog tach is a useful addition. The 150-mph speedo isn't overly optimistic. With an honest 105 bhp and the ability to post With more conventional chassis geometry, the Muscle behaves more predictably and provides a more controlled ride. Here too, however, dynamic function is compromised by an aesthetic decision-in this case, that hulking, 240/40R-18 Dunlop rear tire. Changing direction demands a strong steering input, and constant pressure is required to keep the bike on the edge of the tire throughout a corner. Though the Wide Glide's 68.3-inch wheelbase is more than an inch longer, it's actually easier to maneuver, especially at low speeds. Despite 34 degrees of rake, the front end doesn't flop or fold, and cornering clearance is reasonable. It's only at higher speeds, where the skinny, 21-inch front tire wants to wander, that the extra stability of the big-footed Muscle wins out. Off The Record Aaron Frank, Editor-At-Large Age: 35 Height: 5'7" Weight: 145 lbs. Inseam: 31 in. I expected to love the V-Rod Muscle. It looks sick, if a bit extroverted for my tastes, and the promise of triple-digit horsepower, big brakes and Dunlop Sportmax tires sent visions of squid-poaching dancing through my head. But these dreams died before I left the driveway, as I confronted the sheer size of this fat-tired beast. Not only is it long, heavy and carrying way too much rear tire, but I flat-out don't fit. I was soon daydreaming about a different bike that maintained the same revvy, rowdy character of the Revolution V-twin, but weighed at least 200 lbs. less and was 10 inches shorter between the axles. Something, say, like the Buell 1125CR Café Racer. Hey Harley-Davidson, maybe it's not too late to slap a bar-and-shield on that? 1 | 2 | 3 | » | View Full Article By Aaron Frank Enjoyed this Post?

A chill was in the air as Logan Wriston zeroed in on his catcher Wednesday night.
Wriston was brought in to close out a game that saw Woodrow Wilson's Hunter Greco once again put in a solid effort, only allowing one Shady Spring run.
The Flying Eagles were up 4-1, but Shady was threatening. The Tigers had the tying run at the plate as Jacob Childers and Brendan Schack were in scoring position. Jordan Meadows held tight to the bat.
It was a full count.
Wriston checked his runners, took in a breath and fired it home, right past Meadows to give the Flying Eagles the victory.
"I thought our team played well," Shady Spring skipper Dave Shaw said. "I thought both teams played well. It was a good high school game. The pitchers did well. It's just a good game."
"We fared OK," Woodrow Wilson coach Mark Daniel said. "We didn't swing the bats real well, but we did enough to win the game."
It was more than a victory for Beckley. The win kept Woodrow in the hunt for the No. 1 seed in next week's sectional tournament.
"We're going to have a coin toss now," Daniel said. "Both of us ended up tied, so we're going to have a coin toss either (today) or Friday or Saturday and see who gets it."
"We're going to recheck the numbers," Shady Spring skipper Dave Shaw said. "The criteria is that if you have a tie, it's the least amount of runs given up. It appears it's going to be between us and Woodrow, but we're going to recheck the numbers to be sure."
Regardless of who wins the coin toss, both teams have plenty to be happy about, especially the young men commanding the mound.
Woodrow Wilson's Greco gave up one run on five hits and had a strikeout. Shady Spring's Ryan Snodgress gave up three runs on six hits and fanned four Flying Eagles.
"I thought (Snodgress) pitched really well," Shaw said. "I mean, we kept him in a little too long, but he was still throwing pretty hard at the end. I thought he pitched a really good game."
The Flying Eagles 'skipper echoed those sentiments.
"I thought Greco pitched a good game," Daniel said. "Wriston came in and pitched a good game in relief. Shady's pitcher pitched a good game too."
The Flying Eagles are the veterans of the section, sharing it with two newcomers to the AAA ranks in Shady and Oak Hill. The move to the senior circuit doesn't seem to concern Shaw.
"I think it heightens our competitive nature with Woodrow," Shaw said. "I think it makes every game a little bit more important. I like that. We feel comfortable where we are."
The Flying Eagles too, feel comfortable where they are. Following an 0-4 start, the Beckley bombers have now improved to 13-9 and have won five of their last six games.
"We're playing really well right now," Daniel said after the game.
"We're playing well, but ya know, records don't mean anything now," Daniel continued. "Everyone starts with a clean slate on Monday."
While Beckley may be the more experienced team, Shaw hopes the Tigers can play spoiler and make it to their first-ever tournament as a member of class AAA.
"I think the section is up for grabs," Shaw said. "I think anybody — any of the three teams — can win it. And so that gives us just as good of a shot as anybody. It's just a matter of which team decides to peak."

Look for a message from me later on.
I at least hope I get the renewal this week. No letter from them and nothing on the card when I called.
No SNAP! Which is why it made it worse, compared to what I could have saved today alone, let alone at WD. The three, Cash 3! Played and won a couple of dollars twice, so really four.
I am so busy, can't answer to everything now. Week did not go well, except for a few things. Missing out on more money in my pocket with the money I could save at Winn-Dixie today and especially at Big Lots with 20% off of whatever I'd buy there today. Still no job, got the cans in and a little cash. Gotta have a job, really need it this week. Missing out on so much it's not funny, and I'm sorry, the opportunities DO NOT always come, and are hard to catch at times when they do. Just like last night to have caught an extra three dollars, and it would have been great to have it today.
Sitting out here by the library is a helluva lot cheaper than going to McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts or Panera Bread, but, I've got to get going pretty soon anyhow. Here's a list of stuff I put together for everyone from Gas Buddy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAXhbUnHGno&list=PLdn-ra4ZHrq3HojwpssrtgUvuJSRd3Z01 Thought you might just check it out before others do or before I pass it on to others.
I had expected to be able to get over there tonight, but I couldn't make it. Take care and enjoy the 4th.
You know, I told BarbieLoveJax a while back, as well as SusanVette and some others, maybe even you, that I thought they're run up the markets to 17,100 to 17,400. and it's almost there. It should fall sometime soon I'd say; maybe six to 10% or more.
There seems to be no logic as to how folks are getting points. There are relatively few avenues for gaining points, and when the math is done some have more points than they could possibly have. It is a mystery that only the moderators won't answer.
Gene, in case I'm not on, though I expect to be, enjoy the 4th my friend! How I wish I had the money to go out for some ribs and a beer. Later!
I'm gonna ask you to do me a favor for a change. Go pump up my articles. I don't post them too often; though I might post two more tomorrow. Later.

Crusaders Return Home to Take On Loyola Wednesday
Related Links
Tuesday, February 16, 2010
Loyola at Valparaiso - Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2010 - 7:05 p.m.
The Matchup: In a fight for seeding heading into the league championship, Valparaiso (14-14, 9-7 Horizon) takes to the court of the ARC for the next-to-last time during the regular season on Wednesday evening as the Crusaders host Loyola (14-11, 5-10 Horizon). A win would give the Crusaders their greatest number of league victories since joining the Horizon League in 2007-08.
Take a Look at the Standings: With the Crusaders having just two regular season Horizon League games left, the race for positioning for the Horizon League Championship becomes paramount. While Valpo still has a mathematical chance at the second seed and the accompanying double bye, it would take an unlikely sequence of events for the Crusaders to move up that far. The third through sixth seeds all host first round games against the tenth through seventh seeds, respectively. With a win Wednesday, Valpo would secure a tie for fifth place, but would not yet mathematically clinch a first-round home game, as both Milwaukee and Detroit would still be able to win out and tie the Crusaders, sending it to a tiebreaker for seeding purposes.
Offense Produces: The Crusader offense has continued to be the key to the team's resurgence in the win/loss column these past few weeks. Valpo, which boasts the top scoring offense in the Horizon League at 72.8 PPG, has now scored 70 or more points in each of its last eight games and ten of the last 11 outings after failing to reach the plateau in its first five league games.
McPherson Back on Track: Fifth-year senior guard Brandon McPherson became the 29th player in Crusader basketball history to reach the 1,000 point milestone with a leaner from the baseline midway through the first half in the victory over Cleveland State Jan. 16. After failing to reach double figures in the seven-game stretch from Concordia through Wright State, McPherson hit double figures in each of the last ten games before failing to reach the mark last time out at Youngstown State. But even so against the Penguins, he still made a huge contribution, dishing out a Valpo season-best eight assists without committing a turnover in a season-high 34 minutes of action.

Henneke will report to Scott Becker, president and chief executive officer.

Gwen Ifill, award-winning journalist and best-selling author, will be the principal speaker at Lafayette's 176th Commencement on Saturday, May 21, and will be awarded an honorary degree.
Ifill is the moderator and managing editor of PBS' Washington Week, the longest-running prime-time news and public affairs program on television, and senior correspondent for The PBS Newshour. She is also the author of the bestselling book The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama, published in 2009.
"I'm delighted that Gwen Ifill will address our graduates and parents at Commencement," says President Daniel H. Weiss. "She is one of the most influential women in America and one of the nation's most effective communicators and most respected journalists."
Ifill reports on a wide range of issues from foreign affairs to U.S. politics and policies, interviewing national and international newsmakers. She has covered six presidential campaigns and moderated vice-presidential debates in 2004, between Dick Cheney, the Republican vice president, and John Edwards, Democratic senator from North Carolina, and in 2008, between Joe Biden, Democratic senator from Delaware, and Sarah Palin, the Republican governor of Alaska.
On Washington Week, Ifill leads a roundtable discussion with award-winning journalists who provide reporting and analysis of major stories emanating from the nation's capital. The program is now in its 42nd year on the air. During the 2008 presidential campaign season, Washington Week launched a 10-city series of road shows across America with live audiences. The regular broadcasts and whistle-stop series earned the program a George Foster Peabody Award. The awards recognize distinguished achievement and meritorious service by broadcasters, cable and Webcasters, producing organizations, and individuals. The Peabody board cited Washington Week for "its reasoned, reliable contribution to the national discourse," and called it the gold standard "for public-affairs enthusiasts who prefer illumination to confrontational fireworks."
Before coming to PBS in 1999, she was the chief congressional and political correspondent for NBC News, White House correspondent for the New York Times, and a local and national political reporter for the Washington Post. She also reported for the Baltimore Evening Sun and Boston Herald American.
"Being a journalist has taught me the difference between skepticism and cynicism, and how it is a virtue to have a little of both. I'm skeptical about almost everything. I'm cynical about almost nothing," Ifill said when she was awarded the Goldsmith Career Award for Excellence in Journalism by Harvard's Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics, and Public Policy in 2009. "Being skeptical and being a journalist has taught me that the best lessons are not necessarily learned from the people with the most power or the loftiest titles, but sometimes just by keeping your eyes open."
Ifill's work also has been honored by the National Press Foundation, Radio and Television News Directors Association, Ebony Magazine, and Suffolk University's Ford Hall Forum.
A native of New York City, Ifill earned a bachelor's degree in communications at Simmons College in Boston. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and serves on the boards of the News Literacy Project and the Committee to Protect Journalists.

With fall lurking around the corner, it's time to prep for the season's impending change of dress required for cooler temperatures. One great way to cozy up an outfit is to top it off with a hat. Since September is recognized by those in the fashion industry as Fall Hat Month, what better time to shop for a new topper than now?
Men's and women's fall fashion lines have featured a range of hats from designers that are right on trend for making a statement this season. Locally, retailers have also begun to tap into the trend with a supply of fashionable headgear pieces for both sexes prime for topping off a look- a worn-in ball cap for a relaxed look, the classic grace of a cloche, or for formal occasions, the ever-popular fascinator.
While the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, a.k.a. Kate Middleton brought fascinators (those quirky, elaborately adorned headpieces) to the forefront, hats and headpieces of any size and shape are still having their moment. However, these millinery pieces are a fun and distinct way for the fashion elite to add a bit of flair to an outfit. Jolene Roberts, owner of Hats Galore at Barefoot Landing, says the headpieces have been in high demand at her store.
"Anything goes - the wilder, the better," says Roberts on what shoppers are looking for in fascinator designs.
For the perfect party look, top off your favorite little black dress with the Jeanne Simmons Leopard Print Fascinator ($39, Hats Galore). This leopard motif headpiece is adorned with a fountain of printed feathers and black netting overlay that accent the pattern.
Or for a more ladylike approach, top off a cream suit or floral printed dress with the Jeanne Simmons Pink Feather Sinamay Fascinator ($48, Hats Galore). The simple straw base design and light pink feather accent will instantly add chic to any formal attire.
Another popular style for fall and winter is the cloche hat. The cloche was a popular hat style in the 1920s and is coming back into fashion today thanks to shows such as " Downton Abbey." Ralph Lauren featured a revamped version of the cloche design in his fall 2012 show as a feminine addition to the menswear trend making a splash in women's fashion this season.
For your own spin on the trend, opt for one with a fun color and simple adornment. Try on the Sun Day Afternoons Ashbury Cloche Hat in Plum ($49, Hats Galore), which features a 100 percent wool felt asymmetrical crown design topped off with a double flower felt accent. Or for a simpler look, opt for the Something Special Wool Cloche in Purple ($39, Hats Galore). Its classic design is accented with a simple bow outlined with contrast stitching.
For men, a hat is often an easy style addition. This season, men have a wide range of options available for creating that pulled together look.
For the style conscience, a derby hat is a popular look for the season. Roberts says the hat style has been an in-demand item with men of all ages at her store recently, and Moschino, the classic Italian design label, featured the derby in its fall 2012 menswear line.
To try the trend on your own, pull on the Scala Wool Derby Hat in Black ($48, Hats Galore). Its quality wool felt design is accented with a red feather on the side and will look posh paired with a simple monochromatic suit.
Or, for those wishing to channel their inner cowboy, another popular look is western inspired. Opt for the Stetson Snowden Crushable Hat in Back ($65, Hats Galore), for a classic take on the trend. The wool felt design features a three-inch brim and simple leather trim at the crown. Pair the hat with a trench or simple sweater and jeans combination for ultimate style.
If you're a guy who rocks the relaxed look, the baseball hat is a no fail solution for pulling together a simple outfit. In honor of the start of football season, opt for the Life is Good Football Helmet Classic Chill Hat in Chocolate Brown ($22, Hats Galore). Its soft cotton design in a deep brown hue is accented with a yellow, vintage styled football helmet logo on the front. Throw it on with a classic plaid button down and jeans for an easy weekend look.
These hats and headpieces can be found locally at Hats Galore at Barefoot Landing, 4822 U.S. 17, North Myrtle Beach. For more information, call 272-7242, or visit www.hatsgaloreatbarefoot.com.

We all know how frustrating it can be when your freshly manicured nails begin to chip a mere day or two after you've painted them. No one has time to remove the polish and re-paint every other day, and I know I don't have the means to visit a salon every Saturday. So I came up with 6 DIY tips and tricks to increase the staying power of your favorite polish.
1. Begin with clean nail beds. It is annoying to have to scrub every speck of polish off our nails, and if we're opting for a darker hue, that's even more of a reason not to bother. However, leftover nail color can totally sabotage your new mani. The fresh nail paint will chip much quicker laying on top of old polish than it would directly on clean nails.
2. Push back cuticles. If you take the extra two minutes, it will enable you to easily access the inner corners of your nails. Otherwise, the parts you missed will end up looking chipped.
3. Always use a base coat. None of us would forget to finish off with a topcoat, but so many skip the initial round! This prep-step is super important because it gives your polish something extra to stick onto.
4. Paint the edges. The first little chips begin at your nail's free edge. Prevent this from happening by simply swiping a coat of polish around the edges, and slightly beneath the tips of your nail. Repeat with the topcoat.
5. Don't over-paint. While it may seem like superfluous coats will lengthen the life of your mani, it is just the opposite. Once you get past three coats, the formula will thicken and the polish will chip in big clumps. Over-layering will also result in a much longer drying process, making it easier to chip in the first hour or two.
6. Re-apply your favorite topcoat every two to three days. The first layer to go is always the topcoat, and chances are, it will start to chip in the first two or three days. Re-swipe a thin layer of topcoat to continue protecting the color underneath. Try Seche Vite for a quick-drying, ultra-shiny finish, or Essie Matte About You for a trendy matte finish.
What's your DIY mani tip?

Two teens remained missing Monday night after multiple agencies searched the icy waters of Budd Lake for hours, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office said.
The search was expected to continue as conditions allowed through the night, Acting Morris County Prosecutor Fredric Knapp said.
"There were multiple calls yelling for help," from the lake, Knapp said. "Two local residents attempted to make a rescue in their own boat but were unable."
Mt. Olive Police Cpl. Eric Anthony confirmed the search had yet to yield any results as of about 9 p.m., contradicting an earlier report that one person had been rescued.
"Nobody was removed from the lake," Anthony said. "Incorrect info originally reported."
An earlier report from NJ.com said an individual was removed from the lake at about 7 p.m.
Authorities began to search the area of the lake off Sand Shore Road and Budd Avenue after the initial call came in at 6:19 p.m., Knapp said.
"We're very grateful to our police, fire, and rescue members and those from neighboring towns that came to help," Mt. Olive Mayor Robert Greenbaum. "This is a terrible thing to have to deal with situations with families who have children that are missing."
Just a block from where first responders where entering the lake sits Pavilion Lounge, a bar frequented by locals who were at the watering hole at the time calls came in.
Bartender Christine Stanat said residents told her they heard the teens screaming from the water.
"One of them told me they were screaming 'Help, help, don't let me die,'" Stanat said.
Patrons of the bar said there had been ice fisherman on the lake over the weekend, but said no signs on the conditions or depth of the ice have been posted during the winter for years.
Budd Lake is a natural body of water, Greenbaum said, and is not guarded in any way.
This is a developing story. Patch will continue to update as information becomes available.

In this corner you have the Apple iPad.....in this corner you have the Google Chromebook.
Both devices are making their way into classrooms and into the educational environment. There are pros and cons with each. There are also other players, such as the Intel Ultrabook and other tablets.
What are your preferences? Concerns? Highlights? etc with each. Share any thoughts, resources, discussions, insights, experiences you have had.
I belong to a Google list serve and the attached presentation was posted. I contacted the author and asked if I could repost and share with others (copyright of course). What are your thoughts about the presentation. Are all the facts correct???
Good points about the ease in updates and data storage. I think we may need the "Showing Evidence" tool to decide on this one.
Thanks for sharing.
I really want to click "like" on your post - what a great idea for a Showing Evidence project!
Here's a follow-up /rebutal to the powerpoint presentation posted above...
Response submitted on google listserv from Tom D.
I'm going to start by apologizing to John, because I myself hate when I offer something to a group only to have it picked apart, but there are some inaccuracies and incomplete information in the slides that I want to clear up before someone takes them at face value:
Slide 5: Leasing and Discounts: Working with an Apple rep, it is possible to arrange for leasing (handled by a third party), same as with any major purchase. Granted, Apple doesn't advertise that the same way Google does, but it IS possible. Nor is it accurate to say there are no discounts. When purchased in 10-packs, you save $20 off each one. Not a huge discount, but also not zero--enough to cover the cost of an inexpensive case or a handful of apps. Also, with a large enough purchase, there are deals to be had by working with an Apple rep, which is what any institution should be doing anyway.
Slide 7: Support & Warranty: It is simply not true that there is no tech support for an iPad. As a customer, you can call Apple, or you can even walk into an Apple Store and talk to someone there. Also, each Apple education sales rep partners with an engineer whose job it is to help with the technical side of purchase and deployment. I have someone I can call with technical questions any time. That said, there is a large community of school IT folks who, as with many things, are often a much better resource for deployment help than any vendor, Apple or otherwise. If this list is any indication, I suspect the same is true for Chromebook users.
Regarding the warranty, it is true that the standard warranty is 1 year, although that can be extended for a price. As for using the term "limited", I suspect the Chromebook warranties are "limited" in the same way, namely that they only cover certain kinds of problems. That's pretty standard.
Slide 14: Enterprise Management: It is correct to identify that the iPad is a consumer device designed to be used by a single person and not shared. In fact, I would argue that realizing this is a key to success with iPads. But saying that enterprise management is "very difficult" and then later (slide 17) "terrible" is a subjective evaluation. There are definitely parts of the deployment process that can be frustrating, but if one has realistic expectations of what can be handled centrally, then management can be pretty easy. The more one attempts to control an iPad the way we (in IT) are used to controlling computers, the harder it will be.
We have ~600 iPads deployed in our district and we have very few problems of any kind with them. I attribute this to two things: First, our philosophy all along has been to push control of the devices as far away from IT as possible and only walk back from that where absolutely necessary. By giving teachers control over the devices in their classrooms, they (and their students) have a level of ownership unlike with other technology. Second, there are simply fewer things to go wrong that would require a call to us. I would venture to say that in this regard, an iPad and a Chromebook are more similar to each other than the latter is to conventional computer because both benefit from the limitations inherent in their designs (not the least of which is that neither runs a full, traditional OS).
All this is not to say that the iPad is better than a Chromebook (or anything else). Context matters. Experience matters. My advice to Scott (the original poster) is to NOT try to compare an iPad to a laptop at all. Start with the learning tasks you want to be able to support, and then evaluate all the possible tools based on that point of view, letting each option rise or fall on its own merits, rather than by doing feature-by-feature comparisons. There are plenty of valid reasons not to choose iPads, but anyone who rejects them for less-than-valid reasons could be missing out on some powerful opportunities for kids unlike anything I have seen before.
I am in agreement with the rebuttal to the slideshow. The last paragraph summarizes my feelings exactly. I'd like to have the best of both worlds and have access to iPads and chromebooks.
A note about the slideshow: I take issue with the scorecard, esp. the "users" score. That was a very small sample and, in many ways, they are comparing apples and oranges (or google color wheels).
I'd be glad to test out one or more chromebooks in my classroom alongside our iPads if anyone would like to donate some. Then I'll give my full review.
Vanessa, thanks for this thread. Very interesting. Over the past several months, a major school district here in Arizona was able to use 900 Chromebooks and they loved them enough to purchase them at the end of the testing. One of the major selling points is the ability of the Chromebook to run flash, where the iPad doesn't . With html5 on the horizon as the industry standard (maybe???), that may become a moot point. Also, it is my understanding that Google is paying app writers 30 cents on the dollar as opposed to 10 cents on the dollar that Apple pays. That is a big incentive for more people to start writing apps for the Chromebook.
I still haven't decided what to do yet. It's still a case by case decision that districts and individuals need to make. It's kind of like the Chevy vs Ford argument. LOL
It is really all about the job you want the device to do and who is going to use it and in what situation. We have found that many parents are jumping on the bandwagon and asking teachers to write a rationale about why their child (generally autistic children) should have an ipad for the school to purchase but when asked why they want it for their child the reasoning is generally not education based. The ipad, like the chromebook, are great tools but it depends on who is using it and for what purpose. I agree with Tom that the management of it is a control issue and giving control over to the teacher is not something that is easy for a school district to do but they are going to have to deal with some of these issues if they are going to BYOD.
Hey, JoAnn-
This is taking the discussion in a different direction, but here's a spreadsheet of iPad apps and resources for people with autism.
You might find it useful for some of the parents who are asking... It's a GoogleDoc, so it's easy for anyone to access.
This is a great piece of work: well written, concise, and thorough....Is there a chance you can make this available for download or maybe share it so it can be downloaded? I would like to share it with some local special education folks whom I believe will see it as a major resource for their iPad program. Thanks either way.
I've been researching and trying to find examples of how districts are using both the iPad and the Chromebook or other tablets for instruction. So far the iPads are winning. There are several stories about how the iPad is being used in different ways in the classroom, See article about iPads and the Flipped Classroom. I have found very few related stories for the Chromebook or tablet. In my district we have both the iPad and tablet, so it would be helpful to see the examples of how tablets are being utilized in the classroom also.
Please share any stories, articles or resources about the Chromebook or tablet.
In my district we may be thinking about purchasing Chromebooks for students. What are the pros and cons of doing this? It's been over a year since I posted the original post so maybe there are more practical issues that have occurred.
My district is in the process of comparing the ipad to the chromebook for student use. Next week, our District Leadership Team will have their first encounter with the chromebook at a meeting. Many of them already use ipads (either the schools or their own) so I'm hoping to get some "fresh" thoughts on the two. Like many have previously said, it all depends upon what you are going to do with them. I'll keep you posted on what we decide.
Here is a comparison chart my director put together which may be helpful to others.

It is important to determine how technology will be used. Some teachers I know are frustrated that the iPad does not have a physical keyboard. My science classroom would struggle with using either an iPad or a Chromebook. Software to run our science probes is not available for either platform. It is not practical to take students to a computer lab setting to use probes in an experiment (something about using acids, water, and chemicals in the computer lab - I don't get it.) If these tools are to have students creating content - either is an excellent choice. If they are for drill and practice - either is an acceptable choice. As usual, your mileage may vary.
Are there other teachers or subjects that cannot use either a Chromebook or and iPad to accomplish everything they normally do in the classroom?
Wow! This debate has become a "hot topic" as of late. We have been having teachers "play" with both and think about how they would use each in their classrooms. Both have their purpose. Most students don't "create" everyday. However, they do research, collect data, type papers. That's a great purpose for the Chromebook. However, when it comes time to present that research, or data, the iPad seems to be the tool to use. Chromebook is getting more and more apps each day. Unfortunately, they are playing catch up to Apple.
Thoughts in our district have been to issue Chromebooks to Middle School and High School students for the "everyday" then have iPad carts available for check-out for the "creative" times. We will see. I'm sure this debate is only just getting started.
I look forward to hearing how your implementation works out. I like the thinking behind using the Chromebooks based on how they would be used. My district has several schools that began using iPads. These schools have determined it is difficult to do research and input large amounts of data or writing. There are now requests to get bluetooth keyboards to go along with the iPads. IMHO this does not make the iPad much different from a Chromebook. What do you think about this technology combination?
I'd love to have a Chromebook to test out in class with the iPads I currently have. Maybe Hanukkah Harry or Santa Claus will bring me one.
I've got a Chromebook that is usually used by our science aide. I have tested it out and found it works very well for many online activities. I have found fewer apps for the Chromebook than the iPad. Most apps I've played with seem better designed for the iOS system. One HUGE advantage of the Chromebook is its ability to run Flash applications. A challenge we currently face is the lack of printing from both the iPad and Chromebook. My district has locked down ALL options for both devices. Our Language Arts teachers are very frustrated.
I've tried to problem solve and would appreciate comments on the following:

Orangetown Police confirmed that James W. Hoyt, 59, of Bogata, NJ was the man killed Friday when he was in Pearl River.
Hoyt and other workers were moving the crate from one truck to another at the parking lot of Blue Hill Plaza in Pearl River when the accident occurred, according to police and a notice from the Volk Leber Funeral Home. He was freed from under the crate and taken to Nyack Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
"They had loaded computer stuff on the white truck from the building," Orangetown Police Detective Sgt. George Garrecht told Patch last week. "That big truck couldn't get down there with a forklift. They loaded that up with about six of those boxes with computer parts or mainframes. They backed the two trucks together and put the lift gates down and were transferring (the boxes) across the lift gates.
Hoyt grew up in Kansas City and moved to New Orleans, where he worked as a plant manager for Bunge Corp. He later moved to Teaneck and became a licensed practical nurse.
He is survived by two brothers, Michael Hoyt, of Teaneck, and Tim Hoyt of Overbrook, Kan., as well as three sisters, Mary T. Durkin, of Chicago, Mary Jo Hoyt, of Maplewood and Anne Hoyt, of New York City.
A memorial visiting will be held Friday 10 to 11 a.m. at St. Anastasia's RC Church in Teaneck, with an 11 a.m. memorial mass also planned at St. Anastasia's.
