How does a post like this, with no comments, make it to the "Top Posts" bar on the left?
Love boot trays! I featured #6 in an article I wrote a while back :)
I've never needed a boot tray for boots since it doesn't snow here, but I do use a green metal boot tray from Crate & Barrel in my kitchen to fill that narrow gap above my fridge that was bothering me with it's black hole-ness. I use the tray to store placemats and napkins.
I love the first one, but it doesn't hold enough! My hubby and sons boots wouldn't fit.
Somehow we've always managed with a rubber-backed bath-rug.
I love the theory of boot trays very much, but they've never worked for me. For one thing, they only hold 2 or 3 pairs of boots. Here in New England we frequently have rain, mud, and snow in the same week. Plus, we have dress and casual versions, so each of us has at least 3 or 4 pairs currently in use at any time. I covered the floor of the closet with a heavy ridged plastic that's meant to go over carpet and that's working pretty well.
But when I see these trays (especially # 1 and #6), even knowing that they will break my heart by being useless for me, I just want them.
I have two and use one under a large stainless water bowl in kitchen as my latest rescue cat LOVES to bat the water so much that most of a bowl was on the floor in the morning and when I get back from work. Now, I just pick up the tray and dump the water into the sink. Saves a heck of a lot of paper towels!
I like the IDEA of a boot tray, but I'm pretty sure the dog would think I was leaving her a chew toy if I left my boots out.
I keep a wire basket by the door, and boots and dirty shoes go in.
hmmm, $175? or $9? Such a tough choice.
It doesn't snow very much in Dallas but I do like #1. The price tag that comes along with it is pretty deterring, though.
Just make sure that the boot tray you want actually fits boots. The main complaint about the Crate and Barrel one is that it doesn't fit large sizes of women's shoes/boots or men's boots.
In Canada a boot tray is pretty much a must. I just wish they were a little larger!
@iamayardsale - We just picked one up at Canadian Tire and it's about 2x the size of the average one and covers the inside of our whole front closet.
Love this post b/c too often I see front entryways and I think to myself, you do not live where there is snow. We have 3 installed shoe racks in the front closet, a standing shoe outside of it and 4 various shoe floor mats just to survive the slush that's to come. Never mind the bench, hanging racks and cubbyholes to hold the mittens that always seem to disappear.
More importantly, how did all those snowy boots make it across to those beautiful boot trays without leaving a *single* drop of snow on those beautiful floors?
If those trays solve that one, I'm buying all of them.
Why even have a boot tray if you are going to get one with holes that let the water and mud drip to the floor?

Royal governors, patriots, merchants, the state's first newspaper publisher, and members of the First Continental Congress are among those buried there. Button Gwinnett who was one of the three Georgian signers of the Declaration of Independence is perhaps the most famous. He was killed in a duel with General Lachlan McIntosh. Both men are now buried in this cemetery. within a short distance of each other. If you are interested, you can view the dueling pistols that they used at the Georgia Historical Society. Duels were so common that there is a Duelist section
in the cemetery. Colonial Cemetery also figures very prominently in many of the ghost stories prevalent in the city .
Today, this is a well-used city park as well as a cemetery. It is also the only place in Savannah where you don't need to keep your dog on a leash. It is a fascinating place to just walk through. There are historical plaques all over telling you about the famous and infamous people who are buried here and there are very pretty walkways. What we first noticed as we walked along Abercorn was a cluster of Irish names, then as we kept walking the names became French, then there were some Scottish names. It was a microcosm of life in Savannah and each group of immigrants. As we walked through, I watched three cemetery workers as they probed a grave. I was almost curious enough to ask them if they were going to have a burial, but I didn't. Usually the reason they probe is to see if there has been a previous burial in a grave.
Along the far wall of the cemetery, they have a whole line of tombstones mounted on the wall.
These are ones that were removed by General Sherman's troops when they set up their camp in the cemetery and they no longer know where they belong. One good thing is that they have remained quite well preserved. They do make for interesting reading. We found one for a young man name Bowles, who it says was from Connecticut. Bowles is a very well know name in our state.
Take the time to appreciate the gate at the entrance;
it is quite impressive. Paid for by the Daughters the American Revolution, it has recently undergone extensive renovation. Allow yourself an hour or more for a leisurely stroll through this history lesson on Savannah.

Very impressive ! A lot of thought and effort obviously put into the scene. Great web interface as well - I have always enjoyed the DPR page layouts and widgets.
One of my favourite elements from the old scene was the Bailey's label. The foreground tree was good for seeing detail loss to noise reduction, and the background hills became more numerous across reviews, as the sensor resolutions starting climbing ( from 3 mp ). I would have liked it if the new scene included a Bailey's label somewhere, just for nostalgia's sake.
And to add my 2 cents, for historic cameras, I'd enjoy seeing :
Coolpix 990
Fuji f31fd
Powershot G6
Nikon D40x

Press Release
|Monday, April 30, 2012
|Press Office
|For Immediate Release
Social Security and Department of Defense Implement New Process
Electronic Medical Records Will Reduce Time for a Decision
The Social Security Administration and the Department of Defense (DoD) are working together to improve access to disability benefits for the nation's Wounded Warriors, service members, veterans, and their dependents. A new nationwide project enables Social Security disability case processing sites to receive military medical records from multiple DoD facilities with a single request to a centralized DoD site. As of today, this initiative is in its first phase of nationwide expansion.
"Receiving electronic medical records for our Wounded Warriors and other military personnel will significantly shorten the time it takes to make a disability decision," said Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security. "This new process will improve the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of the disability program."
Originally a pilot, the program included five states (Colorado, North Carolina, Oregon, Virginia, and Washington) and more than 60 military treatment facilities. These states are now receiving electronic medical records within 72 hours, a remarkable improvement over the previous average response time of five weeks for paper records from individual military treatment facilities.
The new DoD-Social Security collaboration consolidates requests for medical records from Social Security to a single location that has access to DoD records in a central electronic repository. This central location receives and responds to requests for medical records based on Social Security's Electronic Records Express (www.socialsecurity.gov/ere), another successful initiative that offers electronic options for submitting health records related to disability claims.
The benefits of the new process include:
This is the first step towards the long-term goal of a fully automated solution of improving medical information sharing using health information technology and the Nationwide Health Information Network Exchange.
More information on Social Security's use of health IT is available at www.socialsecurity.gov/hit.

Professional sports are becoming elitist entertainment
Sports & Wellness – June 25, 2009
How we get these Future News Predictions
Find out how these predictions will affect you
Professional sports are going through a major evolution. The economy has affected sports to a great degree. However, it has had less effect on Pro teams and more effect on fans. The average fan, those who over the years brought their families to live events, can no longer afford to spend hundreds of dollars on tickets, concessions and team paraphernalia. The average Joe who may have had season tickets for many years is now giving them up because of cost. Expenses are going up for all professional sports teams. More money is needed for players and many have, or are building, new stadiums. These new stadiums have fancier and fancier boxes that are targeted at wealthy clients or corporations. While the pro-teams are doing well the minor league teams are not. Some minor league clubs have gone bankrupt and folded and others have been forced to postpone their seasons until the economy has a turnaround. Many minor league teams owe millionsContinue reading »

SuperME: Superhero Bags for Kids
Store Profile
Store History
- Founded by: Daphne Kaufer and Rena Stern
- Headquarters: San Francisco
SuperME was developed by two super moms – Daphne Kaufer and Rena Stern. The inspiration for SuperME came from their children, who loved dressing up and carrying their own bags to school, parks, day trips, or for vacation. Daphne and Rena wanted to create functional products that are fun to play with and reflected the uniqueness of each child. After numerous play dates and a lot of hard work, SuperME was born.

 The SuperME cape backpack came about when Daphne's son asked for a superhero backpack. Not wanting to give him the standard, commercial product that everyone else has, Daphne came up with the cape backpack - making her son his own superhero.

 The SuperME messenger bag was inspired by Rena's daughter, who loved carrying her lunch to school, but would often leave the bag at home or ask Rena to hold onto it so she could run and play. Wanting to provide her a fun, hands-free way to carry lunch and gear, the messenger bag was created.

 Both moms wanted the products to celebrate each child in a fun, meaningful and sustainable way. Inspired by the traditional Girl and Boy Scout achievement patches, Daphne and Rena came up with SuperME patches as a way to personalize the bags. Their hope is SuperME will in some small way, help encourage children to be proud of who they are and be accepting of others. And by making it easy to update the look of the bag with new patches, they hope SuperME will do its part to help the environment by reducing the number of products that are thrown away just because kids get bored of them.

 SuperME products are designed in San Francisco, and manufactured to the highest quality standards in Taiwan at ISO 9001 certified, family-owned and operated factories. Daphne and Rena have spent time at the various factories seeing first hand how well the workers are treated and the quality conditions they work in.

Workforce housing in LA costs too much. Here's how to fix it
Ashley Myers-Turner/KPCC
Metro rail lines in Los Angeles, coupled with the development of housing along transit corridors, could make the city a more affordable place to work, according to a recent report from the Los Angeles Business Council.
Los Angeles isn't a cheap place to buy or rent a house or an apartment. Only New York and San Francisco will cost you more.
According to UCLA's Paul Habibi — he's at the Anderson School of Management and focuses on real estate — this is dealing a grave blow to the city's competitiveness. But he has a solution, which he's outlined in a just-released report, produced in conjunction with the Los Angelss Business Council, an organization devoted to sustainable economic development in the region.
The idea laid out in "Developing Livable Communities: Enhancing Economic Competitiveness in Los Angeles" is straightforward. We don't have enough affordable workforce housing. But developers don't want to develop for the portion of the market that needs that housing the most: people earning between $42,400 and $63,600. Those folks — what Habibi calls a "donut hole" — make too much to qualify for subsidized housing, but don't make enough to afford the high-end housing that developers prefer (for obvious reasons).

Successful Skud 18 Camp held at Royal Victoria Yacht Club
The Royal Victoria Yacht Club and the Canadian Sailing team hosted another Skud training camp in Victoria for Skud sailors Brenda Hopkin and John McRoberts. The camp focused on fitness testing, video analysis and of course time on the water. Canadian Sport Center Pacific personal were on hand to look after the sport science. James Brotherhood a sport physiologist headed up the testing which included VO2 max. The disabled sailors use a hand crank bicycle, as usual the tests are more fun to watch that doing.
Over in the video department Sam Blades was editing and separating the previous days video, we now have a method, using Dartfish, to have one camera in the boat and one run by the coach outside, they can be synched and set side by side on the computer screen to show the actions of the sailors in the boat and from the outside the cause and effect of those moves, certainly a cool training tool.
Back at RVicYC the wind was out and the heat was in but despite that we got 4 good days on the water, thanks to RVYC Sport Center coach Steve McBride who helped out with launching and coach boats, Steve had prepped the Skud prior to the event which enabled John and Brenda to work efficiently in the boat. We did get one good afternoon out in the Straight where a nice cool breeze of 12kts helped vary the training.
The week was topped off with a visit from Ken Dool who is in Victoria for the CYA Canadian Youth Champs.
John and Brenda will do one more intensive training session before they head to Weymouth for the first of the Paralympic test events, this will be followed by the IFDS Worlds in Athens in October – a busy schedule for the fall.

Heritage Canada Confirms 2009 -2010 Contribution Agreement with Canadian Yachting Association
On July 23, 2009 the Canadian Yachting Association received its 2009 – 2010 contribution agreement with Sport Canada. The Canadian Yachting Association will receive up to a maximum of $ 1,330, 250 under the Sport Support program for administration, operations and programming, national team programs, salary support for both coaches and administrative staff, official languages, long term athlete development framework (LTAD), and Podium Canada (a program for elite athletes). Contributions have confirmed for both mainstream athletes and athletes with a disability.
The support is slightly reduced from 2008 – 2009 because some sport participation development programs were completed in 2008 and new participation programs are on hold pending the outcome of the LTAD project. "We are happy with he support we continue to receive from Sport Canada" stated Peter Wood, Interim Executive Director. The support will allow us to continue our preparations towards the sailing events at the 2012 London Olympic Games and provides us with the funding base we need to grow and focus our domestic program.
Etobicoke Yacht Club Open Regatta to support Canadian Sailing Team
2009 Etobicoke Yacht Club Open and Level Regatta
The last major keel boat regatta in the Greater Toronto Area, the regatta attracts up to 120 boats competing in up to 16 classes on four courses. It is one of the largest regattas of the season and has a reputation for top-notch race management and great food and entertainment. Primarily amateur crews compete for prizes and flags, as well as standings in the overall LORC series. The event is also a major counter for a number of one design classes and has hosted a number of class championships over the years as part of the regatta. This year, the EYC Open will include the IRC Canadian Championships.
29-30 August 2009
Racing – Lake Ontario south of Etobicoke Yacht Club
Shore Events – Etobicoke Yacht Club,
300 Humber Bay Park Road West,
Toronto, Ontario, Canada M8V 3X7
The EYC Open/Levels provides competitive racing at all skill levels and sizes and marks the closing celebration of the summer racing season.
New this year; the event is being held in support of the Canadian Sailing Team. Sponsorship funds support the athletes and coaches as they prepare for the 2012 Olympics in London.
Benefit for Sponsors
The quality of racing, typically great weather, famous steak dinner, Mt. Gay Rum Pour, and entertainment that usually goes on until early morning, ensures the event is always one of the most well attended. Therefore the regatta provides potentially major exposure to individuals from all levels of sailing and racing for our sponsors.
With support of the Olympic team, the EYC Open will be attracting mainstream media attention, which will offer added value and exposure to our sponsors that will go beyond a typical regatta.

Colorist Rick Wellman of the Patrick Melville Salon & Spa in New York City offers his tips for getting rid of grays.
The Trick: Cover gray roots and revitalize natural color.
The Tools: John Frieda Precision Foam Colour in Deep Brown Black and Deep Cherry Brown ($13 each; drugstores)
RELATED: 10 Easy Ways to Eliminate Your Beauty Junk Drawer
The Method: For Khadijah Queen, Wellman prescribes two shades of a permanent foam dye--dark brown for her gray roots and rich cherry for the length of her hair. "Foam dyes are the best choice for women who have very thick hair," he says. Why two colors? Applying brown from roots to ends could create a severe, monotone effect, and putting cherry or mahogany shades on gray hair can result in a pink tint. Together, though, the colors cover gray and create a vibrant shade with subtle dimension.
Step 1
Mix the dark brown dye in the bottle, dispense the foam into a bowl, and, using a two-inch foam brush, apply it to the roots, starting in the area with the most gray.
Step 2
While waiting for the dye to process at the roots, use a salad oil mister to spritz coconut oil on the length of the hair. This conditions dry ends and helps the dye glide through thick or coarse hair.
Step 3
After about 15 minutes, squeeze the dark cherry dye into one hand and work it through from midlength to ends. Wait another 15 minutes; rinse.
The Maintenance: In six weeks, Khadijah can touch up her grays with the same dark brown shade (using the foam brush to target only the roots). In 12 weeks, she can repeat the entire original process.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 294 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by FL3808 Exceptional & Accommodating Staff Not only is this hotel conveniently located but the staff is superb! The shuttle driver Dallas was full of good suggestions & the night manager Emma is on top of reservations. Starwood always treats their members great but the staff here exceeded my expectations. Would highly recommend staying at this hotel. 2014/04/14
Rated 5 out of 5 by HuskerMike This hotel has a great staff. Excellent staff and facilities. 2014/04/04
Rated 5 out of 5 by Empress66 Club Level !!! We came back this year because of TC in the Club Lounge. All four of us agreed she made our trip last year special. Starting and ending our day ion the club level lounge TC made us feel like we came home and not back to a hotel. She is a huge asset and a great face of SPG. We will be back again for another block of room because of her. Aaron at the front desk was super nice too and the food at the sports bar was quite good! 2014/04/01
Rated 5 out of 5 by Will14 Exceptional Service Great front desk staff and fantastic shuttle drivers that are really knowledgeable about the local area. 2014/03/20
Rated 5 out of 5 by AG2014 Nice atmosphere, great views Location is good and even in walking distance to down town. Rooms are comfortable with nice mountain views. Checkout process is still one of the bests with Sheraton. 2014/03/14
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ratz The Staff Your people made me overlook the simple things that do not matter and I appreciated that! We had a wonderful stay. 2014/03/09
Rated 5 out of 5 by Will14 Great stay in SLC Don't judge a book by it's cover! This hotel may be an older building but has been renovated/remodeled with fantastic service, comfortable rooms, all the outlets you need as a business traveler, good gym and club floor and finally is very convenient to downtown SLC. 2014/03/08
Rated 5 out of 5 by RussellB Wow... a perfect ski hotel We chose the SLC Sheraton to celebrate my 50th birthday with my brother and kids because I am platinum and it was in a terrific location for our ski trip. The hotel is a quick free shuttle ride from the airport. It is close to the highways to go East to Cottonwood canyon resorts or Park City area resorts or North to Snowbasin and Powder mountain. It is a short walk or free TRAX ride into downtown for good food and culture. You can walk 1/2 block to rent a really cheap vehicle at the Downtown Budget (saving 40-70% versus the airport). Plus you are right next door to 3 (yes, three) separate ski shops for getting discount lift tickets and/or ski rental equipment. Given that the reviews are so mixed on this hotel, I thought long and hard about why we had such a great experience. I think the key is to get access to the club lounge and preferably get upgraded to the club floor. If it is available, you can often get the upgrade for $30 per night or SPG platinum status. Even if you have to pay, it is WAY, WAY worth it. The 10th floor has great views on both sides and there is a very good hot breakfast that includes scrambled eggs, cereals, lots of fresh fruit, bagels, english muffins, breads, oatmeal, and a very fancy custom espresso machine that makes all kinds of coffee and hot cocoa drinks on demand. In the evening (5:30 to 7:30P) there are impressive snacks that include one hot item (not my favorite as it is usually fried something or really salty meatballs), a super fresh salad, a vegetable tray, and a cheese tray. Plus excellent beers and wine and even mixed drinks are included. Around 7PM comes out a dessert. We usually missed the dessert because after a heavy appetizer and drink we headed out for dinner. The $30 for the family would be a steal for all this each day. The hotel room on the club level was super clean and stylish with good temperature control and HVAC (heat for us) that wasn't too loud. It was big enough to hold all our ski equipment each night. A quick note on the shuttle, when I took a day off of skiing, Zack, the shuttle driver was super friendly and helpful and picked me up from Liberty Park, brought me to a grocery store and even waited outside while I picked up a few items so that I could get the ride back too. Really impressive service. So there you have it… a, bit surprisingly, perfect stay. 2014/02/22

Fellows Find: Graham Greene papers lift curtain on author's psyche
Dr. Christopher Hull from the University of Nottingham, UK, came to the Harry Ransom Center on a British Studies Fellowship to research the Graham Greene collection. His initial plan is to write and publish a book on Greene and Cuba, concentrating on the writer's journeys to the island prior to writing Our Man in Havana (1958), his depiction of the island and the Cold War in this iconic novel, and his continuing relationship with the Cuban Revolution and Fidel Castro after 1959. His larger project is to write a book on Greene and Latin America. He shares some of his findings in the collection here.
Supported by a British Studies Fellowship, I spent five profitable weeks at the Harry Ransom Center in June 2011 researching its Graham Greene collection. I was particularly interested to read material related to Greene's contacts with Latin America, specifically three of his novels: Our Man in Havana (1958), The Comedians (1966), and The Honorary Consul (1973). The Center holds all the manuscript drafts for these works, as well as Greene's screenplays for film versions of the first two novels. They offer a fascinating insight into the gestation of storyline and characters by one of Britain's most renowned twentieth-century novelists.
As well as full-length manuscripts, the Ransom Center holds many of Greene's shorter works, including unfinished and unpublished scripts, journalistic articles and opinion pieces, and an assortment of personal letters. Among these, we can see that the writer's reputation for practical jokes and a mischievous sense of humor sometimes got him into trouble. In 1953, Greene was returning from a visit to Edinburgh with a friend after meeting "two delightful Texan girls" in a hotel. After imbibing a few pints of Black Velvet on their southbound train to London, the author and his friend decided as a joke to set up a new society. They published an announcement in The Times: "May we beg the courtesy of your columns to announce the formation of the Anglo-Texan Society?" It had the avowed objective of "establishing cultural and social links" between Britain and the Lone Star state.1
Abroad on a journalistic assignment in Kenya to cover the Mau-Mau rebellion, Greene soon received the perturbing news that the Society had received 60 membership applications on its first day. By the time Greene had returned to Britain, the Anglo-Texan Society had already held an inaugural cocktail party. His friend was now the Society's Chairman and Greene its President. There was, however, some cynical reaction from the United States. The New York Times wondered if Greene, known as a creator of "diabolisms and plenty of hells" and no great supporter of U.S. foreign policy, might have a dastardly plan underfoot to make Texas cede from the Union. But the Society went from strength to strength, and during another of Greene's absences in Vietnam, prior to the publication of The Quiet American (1955), his friend presided over a jamboree at a film studio outside London. The Houston Fat Stock Show lent four prime steers and three Hillbilly bands to delight 1,500 Texans and Society members. Double-decker "Texas to Piccadilly Circus" buses carried 300 of the overseas visitors from London to the event. 2
Greene diplomatically resigned his presidency of the Society, using his frequent absences abroad as a credible excuse. The sobering Anglo-Texan Society experience dampened his enthusiasm for large-scale practical jokes, but the Society was still holding events 25 years after its formation.
Perhaps the biggest source of riches in the Harry Ransom Center's Graham Greene collection is its series of "Dream Diaries." As a troubled teenager, his headmaster father had sent Greene to London for six months of psychoanalysis alongside his pretty first cousin. Forty years later, when suffering from recurrent depression in the 1960s, a psychoanalyst recommended the peripatetic British author to write down the content of his dreams. The advice produced remarkable results, and gives an invaluable insight into the mind of the prolific author. Several volumes contain the writer's memories of his dreams, intermittently, for the years 1964–66, 1972–75, 1979–81, 1983–86, and 1988. Greene's "Dream Diaries" detail the writer's nightly obsessions, fantasies, and episodes of repeated paranoia, as well as memories of past events. Among many fantastical accounts, the diaries recount his experiences from childhood and adulthood, his many travels to dangerous spots around the world, famous personalities (both living and dead), and time spent with several female partners in addition to his long-estranged wife. Four decades after his teenage experience of psychoanalysis, Greene was still fantasizing about an affair and possible marriage to his pretty cousin.
The recounting of most people's dreams does not make for stimulating entertainment, but in Greene's case they are riveting. Greene had served as an air-raid warden in Central London during the blitz. And his house in Clapham (South London) was destroyed by Nazi bombs in World War II. One of his recurrent fears was evidently a German invasion of Britain and further bombing raids. He also feared persecution by Haiti's voodoo-worshiping President-for-Life "Papa Doc" Duvalier, years after his novel The Comedians had painted a dark picture of the dictator's rule.
From a writer described by Lord of the Flies author William Golding as the "the ultimate chronicler of twentieth-century man's consciousness," even less dramatic nocturnal thoughts come alive. In his miniscule handwriting, for example, is the following dream from 1981:
Currently, only a brief and sanitized collection of these dreams exists in published form.4 Greene fans must relish the day when his recorded dreams can be transcribed and published in their entirety.

Rain rain, go away and take the rain boots
Texas A&M style suffers from rain and multi-patterned rain boots
Published: Thursday, February 2, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 22:07
In terms of campus safety and style, Texas A&M, and even Bryan-College Station, proves an uncertain mess when it rains. Slick sidewalks, umbrellas and multi-patterned rain boots sum up what one views while walking around the University.
This past week, rain has teased the campus three times leaving the sidewalks slick and enticing students who walk to class to trip. Let's not even mention the uneven sidewalks and potholes filled with muddy water. These campus wrinkles provide students with sopping shoes and socks and spread a watery mess on the floors of each building. (Walking around with soaking-wet socks is the most unnerving feeling … ever.)
Rain boots seem to be the solution to the aforementioned irritants.
Slip on those puppies with anything in your closet and you're good to go. "Anything" is the correct word in describing what Aggies throw together when rain boots are worn. Because they are worn to the knees, one is able to walk directly into that big, muddy water puddle without getting his or her socks wet. We're college students, right? We don't have time to walk around with wet shoes and socks. Sign me up for a pair of rain boots. Make sure they're technicolor and add in a few patterns or polka dots.
This is not fashionable, nor stylish, to me and a number of other Aggies.
Carolina Sáenz, a senior marketing major, loves fashion.
"It's a wonderful world of art and beauty," said Sáenz. "Fashion, to me, is where high-end runway clothing designers collaborate. Style is the combination of pieces a person chooses to express for themselves."
Though rain boots may seem like a rainy-day solution, personally, I'm not so sure. Vision the following — and I know you won't have difficulty because it's all over campus.
Nike shorts and rain boots — seriously? Tights and rain boots — for real? Here comes my favorite … Nike shorts, with tights underneath and rain boots. Come on now. What is this — the circus?
I like rain boots. I honestly do. I actually own a pair, and yes I'm a guy wearing rain boots. (Fifteen dollars at Academy – score!) Call me a rain boot advocate, if you want. But as our own personal stylists, we have the obligation to wear them correctly.
Wear them with a pair of dark-wash corduroys. Your pants don't even have to be corduroy, though. Wear them with a pair of dark-wash jeans. Just don't wear them with tights or Nike shorts. Make all of the excuses you wish to make, but the perception to me (and probably to the fashion powerhouse designers in New York City) is tacky.
If you don't like rain boots, try regular boots.
I found Sáenz at the University's west side of campus. She was sporting a coral, peacock-accented blouse with a Forever21 black tank top underneath.
"Being a Latina, you always have to look presentable," Sáenz said. "Even if it's just wearing jeans, it's part of our culture."
Sáenz also was wearing a pair of Levi's skinny jeans and Aldo ankle boots.
To compliment her wardrobe with accessories, Saenz wore a spiral gauge earring from Italy, a souvenir bracelet from Spain and an Aztec calendar ring from Mexico.
"Beautiful clothes will always lift my spirit because I appreciate the time and quality it takes for each piece," said Saenz. "Dressing up allows me to be assertive in what I do."
"Eighty-six" the plastic rain boots and add stylish boots to clothing selections. If you're worried about the leather wearing out, go to a store to buy water-resistant products for your boots. A little water won't hurt (but electronics are a different story).

Vivienne Tam
OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Vivienne Tam
2009 September 17
Vivienne Tam - New York Spring 2010
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Is it late enough in the decade (or is fashion moving that quickly) that designers can viably start referencing the early aughts? Vivienne Tam's spring collection, with its butterfly motif, sequins, and flared pants, was simply too familiar. Suede hiphuggers, irregular hems, and printed jersey dresses might have been successful on their won, but in one collection was bit too much. The collection wasn't without charms, though: some tie-neck blouses were ladylike and lovely, and hippie-esque fringed hobo bags will have boho-chicettes clamoring.

I have been working at Bridgepoint Education full-time for less than a year
Pros – Great team of people in the graduate division.
Cons – They operate a classic boiler room. Nothing but high pressure phone calls to prospective students (veiled as admissions counseling).
Advice to Senior Management – Cut out all the layers of management. It's overkill.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

The Georgia Bulldogs women's softball team earned one of the top ten national seeds to the NCAA Tournament, winning the right to host a regional in Athens. The Red and Black will open the postseason against Coastal Carolina on Thursday.
In a busy weekend for the Red and Black, the Georgia Bulldogs track and field, women's golf, and women's softball teams all stumbled down the stretch to disappointing finishes following promising starts in postseason SEC and NCAA competitions.
Dawg Sports reports on Georgia Bulldogs baseball, softball, men's golf, and men's lacrosse, as well as conference expansion, in this morning's edition of "Dawg Bites."
Lu Harris-Champer's Georgia women's softball team won its 40th victory of the season, a former Bulldog golfer won the Stadion Classic for the second straight year, and several Red and Black squads are bound for SEC and NCAA tourney fields.
The Lady Bulldogs will take the course in the Central Regional in Columbus, Ohio, for a chance to advance to the NCAA Championships in Nashville. The regional round begins May 10. Go 'Dawgs!
Has the time come for David Perno to be replaced as the head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs baseball team? Dawg Sports regretfully reaches the conclusion that a new skipper is needed for the Diamond Dogs in 2013.
Jay Clark's Gym Dogs won the Auburn Regional with a 197.1 final score, earning the Georgia Bulldogs women's gymnastics team a spot in the NCAA Championships, where the squad will compete for the program's eleventh national title.
After winning an extra-inning game earlier in the day, the Diamond Dogs were forced to play a nightcap against the Oregon State Beavers in the Corvallis Regional. David Perno's Georgia Bulldogs came up just short in the NCAA Baseball Tournament.
The Diamond Dogs avenged their earlier loss to the Creighton Bluejays, as the Georgia Bulldogs won in extra innings in the NCAA Baseball Tournament to earn a date with the Oregon State Beavers in the Corvallis Regional.
Facing elimination in the NCAA Baseball Tournament, the Diamond Dogs defeated the Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans to remain alive in the Corvallis Regional. Levi Hyams and Alex Wood led the Georgia Bulldogs to victory.

Oct 02, 2008
The current economic slowdown has taken a far greater toll on non-citizen immigrants than it has on the United States population as a whole. The median annual income of non-citizen immigrant households—a group that accounts for 7% of all U.S. households and 52% of all immigrant households—fell 7.3% from 2006 to 2007. In contrast, the median annual income of all U.S. households increased 1.3% during the same period.
The characteristics of immigrant heads of households who are not U.S. citizens help explain the vulnerability of this population to the latest economic slowdown. Most arrived in the U.S. in recent years with only a high school education or less. Many are employed in blue-collar production and construction occupations or lower-rung occupations in the service sector. The majority (56%) of non-citizen households are Hispanic. And nearly half (45%) of non-citizen immigrant households are headed by an undocumented immigrant.
The incomes of non-citizen households have displayed great instability in the past decade—increasing rapidly in economic expansions but falling just as suddenly during economic slowdowns. These fluctuations have been far greater than the average for all U.S. households. For example, the latest turn in the economic fortunes of non-citizen households represents a sharp turnaround from the preceding year. Incomes of non-citizen households in 2006 were 4.1% higher than income levels in 2005. Incomes of all U.S. households, meanwhile, had increased 0.7%.
From 2006 to 2007, incomes fell the most for non-citizen households headed by Hispanics; immigrants from Mexico, other Latin American countries and the Caribbean; the most recently arrived; males, either unmarried or with no spouse present; those without a high school education; and those in construction, production or service occupations. Those characteristics are also descriptive of most of the undocumented migrant population in the U.S.

In the EatingWell Test Kitchen, we roasted more than 20 turkeys, including all-natural and conventional birds, while preparing our Thanksgiving story and found that conventional birds (with added salt solution) do stay moister, but if you're watching your sodium intake, avoid them.
Certified organic poultry standards prohibit all use of antibiotics and hormones. (Hormone use in poultry production—even conventional—has been banned since 1959.) All feed is vegetarian and certified organic—including pastureland—which means that it is not treated with pesticides or herbicides and cannot be genetically modified. Animals have access to pastureland, sunlight and enough land for exercise, and grazing is done in a manner that does not degrade the land through erosion or contamination. Animal cloning is forbidden. Localharvest.org lists local farms and online sources for organic turkeys.
Since USDA-certified organic labeling requires that animals be traced from birth to slaughter (including feed sources and medications), problems related to animal diseases and human foodborne illness can be easily traced to the source. Keep in mind: Organic doesn't necessarily mean grass-fed; however, certified organic livestock generally graze on open-range land three to six months longer than conventionally raised livestock to reach market size.

At this point, Matt Schaub is clearly an agent of chaos. Here's the vital information about Texans-Rams you've been waiting for.
The St. Louis Rams and Houston Texans have a very short history together. Sunday's matchup in Reliant Stadium will help break more than one tie.
The St. Louis Rams were able to snag their second win of the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars this past Sunday. As you might've predicted, it didn't do too much to boost their stock…
The St. Louis Rams have just finished the first quarter of their 2013 campaign. Is the 2013 Rams' offense an improvement over that of last year?
St. Louis Rams' QB Sam Bradford isn't certain that the exodus of Steven Jackson means the Rams will be "pass happy" in 2013. He's confident with his arsenal of wideouts though…

'Tis the Season for Holiday Tablets: A Frugal Buying Guide
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) Literally millions of tablet computers are likely to sell this week, as consumers rush to embrace the year's hot consumer electronics. The questions fly in: Which tablet should I buy for my girlfriend? My mother? My son? And of course for myself?
The answers vary, and the final decisions are not entirely based on budget. Who you are and how you will use it are big factors.
"Simply the best tablet is the one that works for you," said Chris Dancy, creator of the popular ITSM podcast for IT professionals. "I think people need to stop and look at tablets as an extension of their life."
If it's a gift, it becomes your job to look at the person, his needs and the resulting right tablet.
Here are three options, with the focus on frugal, with a self-indulgent kicker at the end.
For the media consumer in your gift circle: Kindle Fire HD, $139, WiFi only.
There is no better tablet buy for media consumption and Amazon, which brands the device, throws in a free month of "Prime," its two-day shipping service on most purchases plus acres of free videos (such as "Alpha House," the Garry Trudeau Senatorial comedy that is winning viewers). To boot, there also is a free lending library with tens of thousands of e-books (and the built-in e-reader is very easy on the eyes).
The 7" screen's quality is acceptable, as is the Dolby sound. It works for light gaming (hardcore gamers will crave more processing power and a sharper screen).
Yes, heavy-duty content creation apps are available - Fire runs on an Android variant and most Android apps will run on it - but only a masochist would do more than write a brief email on Fire. It is okay for light content creation, but don't even think about doing more.
Spend a few more dollars - $154 - and Kindle Fire HD ships without Amazon's "special offers" (advertisements to you and me), but that's your call. If money is tight, the offers are not onerous.
For the user with many possible uses: Nexus 7, $229 for 16GB, WiFi only.
There is no better all-purpose tablet at this low price-point than the Google branded 7" slate which runs Jellybean (the late model Android OS), comes with Near Field Communication (NFC) for making point of sale buys with Google Wallet, and employs just about any app you can find in Google Play.
A bonus: it squeezes into the back pocket of jeans.
It's excellent for watching video - and Google offers plentiful freebies on Play (lots of cooking shows right now, for last minute turkey prep). It suffices for listening to music. But probably its strongest suit is handling email, taking notes eyeballing small spreadsheets.

The next few days will be stormy and unsettled as a slow-moving Nor'easter — a storm some forecasters are calling "weird" — trudges toward the Northeast, bringing high winds, a mix of snow and rain, and possibly coastal flooding.
According to the National Weather Service the storm presents a "tricky forecast, though many of the computer models tracking it "have come into better agreement with timing and general path. As of early this morning the low was pushing through the mid-Atlantic region with the models still bringing it offshore almost due east during the day today."
This latest winter storm is set to hit Connecticut about one month after a devastating blizzard struck the state, dumping more than 30 inches of snow on some towns, closing some school districts for days and paralyzing traffic on snow-clogged streets.
The weather service has issued a winter weather advisory for northern Middlesex county, as well as a hazardous weather outlook. The weather service has issued a winter storm warning for other parts of the state, including southeastern Connecticut.
The southern storm will merge with a weather system coming down at us from the north, bringing a mix of precipitation and high winds that will remain over the state from later today through Friday morning.
The precipitation from the long-duration storm is expected to start out as rain and then change over to snow later today and tonight. Snow will continue overnight and through the day Thursday, with accumulations of as much as 6-9 inches in some parts of the state. The bulk of the storm appears to be bearing down on southeastern Connecticut, the National Weather Service says.
Sustained winds associated with the storm will be about 30 MPH and wind gusts could reach up to 50 MPH, the weather service forecast states.

Associate Professor, Oregon State University
Safer Nanomaterials and Nanomanufacturing
Our laboratory has diverse research interests. For most of our studies we exploit the advantages of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model to improve human health. We evaluate environmental biological interactions using a broad definition of the term "environment." The human environment is the air we breath, the water we drink, the food we eat, the pharmaceuticals we take, the chemicals we are exposed to, etc. We then consider that there are underlying individual susceptibilities to these environmental insults, so if we can understand the mechanisms by which environmental exposures produce biological responses, we will be in a much strong position to develop strategies to protect both humans and the environment. We have a long interest in better understanding the mechanism(s) underlying developmental toxicity in response to chemicals such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), ethanol, nicotine, and pesticides. We also have a regenerative medicine group that is developing new methods and approaches to discover the molecular pathways that prevent or promote vertebrate tissue regeneration. Finally, the nanotechnology division of our group is focused on defining the nonmaterial characteristics that dictate biological responses; with the goal to safely advance the field of nanotechnology. Trainees in my laboratory utilize several molecular, genetic and transgenic approaches to test their specific hypotheses.
