iPad Cases
A cheap iPad case or kids iPad case can be hard to find, but we've taken it to a whole new level with a cheap iPad case that comes in a three-pack. Since they're made of cardboard, they're meant to be used and abused and recycled when you're done. You can't draw on most kids iPad cases, but since ours is made of cardboard, it's a perfect opportunity to create a customized iPad case and let the kids have fun in the process. It's more than just a kids iPad case though, if you skip the crayons and leave it as is, it's an understated and functional way to protect your iPad.

These shoes arrived today..I will be returning them. They are the cheapest looking shoe with some kind of terrible spray on finish. The fabric on the heel looks worn already and they smell like chemicals. Fair warning...terrible product. Trust me.
I love these shoes! I bought them for my rehearsal dinner because they're so cute and classy. I knew I would be able to wear them to work or any other "dressy" occasion. However, the sizing runs smaller so I got a size too small. After about an hour, I couldn't feel my toes or the balls of my feet! Definitely cute shoes but go up a size if you're not sure. They didn't offer my size when I ordered them :(
No complaints about his shoe. LOVE them. I have them in black and tan. They are very comfortable. They can be casual to dressy. I wear them to work. They are beautiful with the added T strap.
Great color, the brown is exactly what is shown on line. But I would recommend ordering a 1/2 size up. I am a n 81/2 to 9, and the 9 is a little tight. Otherwise great shoe.
Cute shoes, but they run small, so I bought half of the isze bigger. I did buy the black and the red. These shoes are not too comfortable though. I feel my big toe, it does hurt a bit if you wear all day, plus it needs more cushion. Your feet will feel sore after whole day. I did buy 2, but that will be it, they are hard, too hard, and with a strange format inside. I will try to put gel inserts and see what happen.
Great shoes and great price! I brought them in brown. They were not to high and comfortable.
Shoes are well made , comfortable , practical , and I have a tendency to be on my feet all day , non slip , and are great for work and after work functions.

Picture the following scenario if you can: A woman, now approaching eighty, is seated with her husband in the audience of the City Center of Music and Drama one evening in the late 1950s. They are waiting for the curtain to go up on a performance of the New York City Ballet. It must have been an electric moment. Here is a young and yet world-class ballet company whose founder and main choreographer -- brilliant Russian-born George Balanchine -- is in his prime. The theater itself, built in 1924 by the Ancient and Accepted Order of the Mystic Shrine, is wonderfully antic and absurd, with fanciful tiles in bright colors studding... see more

Longtime Bemidji Pioneer political reporter Brad Swenson diesBEMIDJI – Brad Swenson, 57, longtime political reporter with the Bemidji Pioneer, died Sunday at his home. He retired due to health issues as the Pioneer's political editor in July 2011 but had been writing weekly political columns since January.
By: Bethany Wesley, Forum Communications, INFORUM
BEMIDJI – Brad Swenson, 57, longtime political reporter with the Bemidji Pioneer, died Sunday at his home. He retired due to health issues as the Pioneer's political editor in July 2011 but had been writing weekly political columns since January.
"Brad was one of a kind," said U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar. "He was someone who cared about every issue and would prepare for interviews and really was a voice not only for Bemidji but for Greater Minnesota.
"He would interview me more thoroughly than any other reporter in the state."
Swenson joined the Pioneer in 1980. During his 31 years with the newspaper, he served as a reporter, managing editor, political editor and editorial writer.
"Brad was someone who did exactly what he should have been doing for a living," said publisher Dennis Doeden. "He found his passion, and he was able to find work in that area. We should all be so lucky."
Swenson won numerous awards during his career, including, in 2009, the David L. Graven Award for excellence in the journalism profession. Two of his articles that year also were honored with the George S. Hage Award for Excellence in coverage of breaking news about public affairs.
Both those awards were given during the Frank Premack Public Affairs Journalism Awards, judged annually by statewide community members and not journalists, at the University of Minnesota's McNamara Alumni Center.
"I have been fortunate to be able to specialize in political coverage," Swenson said at the time. "I try to study the issues to be prepared for my interviews. Then I have conversations instead of interviews, and I try to tell the readers what the person stands for."
Services are pending with the Cease Family Funeral Home of Bemidji.
"He was just a great reporter," said Sen. Rod Skoe, DFL-Clearbrook. "He had the ability to discern when somebody was just saying talking points as opposed to providing information. He had a good feel for the impact that legislation was going to have on the area and was really good at getting that so that people could understand what he thought was going on."
Swenson covered all levels of politics, including the Beltrami County Board of Commissioners.
District 1 Commissioner Jack Frost, who has been on the board for 12 years, said he always enjoyed his conversations with Swenson.
"We would discuss the issues of the day, locally, statewide, nationally," he said. "Sometimes, we agreed, sometimes we'd disagree, but that wasn't the criteria for our friendship."
Frost also recalled how he, Swenson and late Commissioner Jim Heltzer always were trying to one-up one another with puns. At one time, while talking about the new judicial center and having a private elevator for judges, Frost joked about judges trying to avoid a "staff infection" and Swenson said he was sure, with an elevator, they would have their "ups and downs."
"Wonderful witticism," Frost recalled. "There are times when levity is most appropriate. I will, and I do, miss his wit and his puns. That's a side of Brad I will always miss."
Rep. Larry Howes, R-Walker, recalled how he got to know Swenson during his first House campaign in 1997. Swenson, Howes said, was cautious to not take sides, but he seemed to have "a wink or twinkle in his eye" indicating that he thought Howes would win.
"A lot of us used to just call him a teddy bear, just such a nice guy," said Howes, who had been expecting to call Swenson this week for a story. "He will be greatly missed."
Swenson was devoted, too, to his life outside of work.
Bruce Campbell got to know Swenson about six years ago when Campbell joined the Bemidji Sunrise Rotary Club.
"I found Brad's heart always No. 1," Campbell said. "Dealing with people, through Rotary, in my mind, was his forte."
Campbell said Swenson became secretary as soon as the Rotary club was founded in the late 80s. He also was a former club president and secretary.
He was passionate about awarding and recognizing high school students with the Rotary's annual Richard Brown Scholarship, Campbell noted.
"Brad was very, very passionate about that," he said. "The focus of our club was youth."
In recent years, Swenson also became more interested in his heritage. He joined the Sons of Norway about four years ago.
"He instantly became active," recalled president Lois Egelhof.
Swenson became editor of the every-other-month newsletter.
"He gave a lot of suggestions and pushed us to make Sons of Norway more modern," Egelhof said.
In June, the Bemidji lodge was honored with the First Tier Lodge of the Year Award.
"It was because of the active participation of all of our members and that includes Brad," Egelhof said.
But, publicly, it was Swenson's political reporting and editorial writing that garnered him attention around the state. He was a past recipient of the Minnesota Newspaper Association's Herman Roe Editorial Writing Award and the Ag Communicator of the Year Award from the Minnesota Farm Bureau.
"Brad was well-known throughout all of Minnesota for his very in-depth political writing," said state Sen. John Carlson, R-Bemidji.
Carlson dated their friendship back 20-some years to when Swenson coached Little League.
"Brad was always just a great advocate for our little leagues and Babe Ruth leagues," said Carlson, former youth coach and president of Bemidji Youth League Baseball.
The focus of their relationship shifted from the baseball field to politics when Carlson ran, and lost, in 2008 against Persell for the local House seat. He was elected in 2010 to the state Senate.
"I don't know if I could ever say enough good things (about Swenson)," Carlson said. "Brad always treated me fair. We had a mutual respect for each other."
Rep. John Persell, DFL-Bemidji, said he got to know Swenson through his work with environmental quality issues and developed their relationship further as he got involved in politics.
"Whenever I talked to Brad, we always solved the world's problems before we got down to what we're going to talk about," he said. "He was a good friend."

The men allegedly knocked on the door of a residence on the 400 block of East B Street. The suspects told homeowners they were officers investigating a robbery in the area, Sgt. Josh Doggrell said.
A police report did not state whether the homeowners allowed the men to enter the home. After the suspects left, the homeowners called Anniston police and gave a description of the men and their vehicle. Police did not release the descriptions.
The incident is currently under investigation. The suspects, if caught, are likely to face felony charges for impersonating a peace officer, Doggrell said.

Pastor Fluff
The Reverend John Fluff was the pastor in a small town in Ireland. One day he was walking down the high street when he noticed a young lady of his congregation sitting in a pub drinking beer. The Reverend wasn't happy! He walked through the open door of the pub and sat down next to the woman.
"Miss Fitzgerald," he said sternly - "This is no place for a member of my congregation. Why don't you let me take you home?"
"Sure!" she said with a slur, obviously very drunk.
When Miss Fitzgerald stood up from the bar, she began to weave back and forth. The Reverend realized that she'd had far too much to drink and grabbed her arms to steady her. When he did, they both lost their balance and tumbled to the floor. After a few moments, the Reverend wound up on top of Miss Fitzgerald, her skirt hiked up to her waist.
The pub barkeeper looked over and said, "Oy mate, we won't have any of that carrying on in this pub."
The Reverend looked up at the landlord and said, "But you don't understand. I'm Pastor Fluff."
The barkeeper said, "Ah well, if you're that far in, ye might as well finish."

Celtics Morning Joe: Pierce had 34 points, and what's that mean?
|Posted by shawn cassidy on December 13, 2012 at 6:00 AM
I don't want to discredit Pierce's 34 point performance in the double overtime victory over Dallas. It's easy to call out the Celtics defense for the 14 point lead that the Celtics let go. It's easy to call out the defense after the Celtics allowed 51% shooting. The Celtics on a positive note only allowed 96 points in regulation, which isn't great, but not bad. The Celtics also forced 28 turnovers.
If I had to pin point a key problem from last nights game. It was the offensive flow that flat lined the Celtics offense. Rondo was the master with 15 assists. Pierce hit some big baskets, but those great baskets seemed to erase from my mind when he took bad shot after bad shot. The Celtics continue to lean on Pierce during crunch time. Pierce looked like a fighter in the 12th round. He was tired, and his moves were flat.
I love the fact that Pierce can still get 34, but I hate the fact that the Celtics continue to lean on him, and the offense just hits the fan like Sh*t. Why can't the Celtics just run their offense. The Celtics need to play pick-and-roll, and they need to have Rondo hit the paint. Pierce isolation jumpers won't cut it. What do you guys think?
Rondo needs the ball in his hands. He can he get it back in his hands, if Pierce decides to be the hero? Pierce is smart, and I trust his judgement, but when it comes down to it. Pierce needs to step back, and allow Rondo to run the offense, as if it was the first quarter.

The flow between the two has been better this season,but last night no way. Pierce was fouled on a few of those bad shots? The refs didn't call them,because the shots looked bad.
Rondo had his fair shots that were questionable,but Rondo was fouled twice on two drives,but no call. Both players need to come together more often

Kane Forest Preserve a place for healing after war
By Steve Lord email@example.com November 9, 2012 5:16PM
Ben Haberthur, a Vietnam vet, is in charge of the Veterans Conservation Corps in Kane County Forest Preserves, a program that let returning veterans.help with projects at Kane forest preserves. He shows an oak savanna restoration project on Thursday, November 8, 2012 at the Dick Young Forest Preserve in Batavia. | Steven Buyansky~Sun-Times Media

Updated: December 12, 2012 6:36AM
When Ben Haberthur got back from the war in Iraq, his first try at refuge was college.
"But I found it hard to reacclimate, to identify with other people," he says. "So I turned to nature, like I had at other times in my life."
With a backpack and hiking shoes, he hit the backwoods near his home at the time, Monterrey, Calif., even spending time in the beauty of the Big Sur area.
Now a Batavia resident, Haberthur finds the same sense of refuge in the beauty of the native prairies and marshes of the Midwest, particularly at the Dick Young Forest Preserve on Main Street west of Batavia.
And he is trying to share that with other veterans through the Veterans Conservation Corps of Chicagoland, which Haberthur established this year after receiving a $10,000 TogetherGreen fellowship grant.
TogetherGreen is a conservation initiative of the National Audubon Society and Toyota. Each year, the group selects 40 high-potential, local leaders to receive a $10,000 conservation grant. Haberthur, who is a restoration ecologist with the Kane County Forest Preserve District, was one of four award recipients from Illinois this year.
He wrote a proposal to get the grant, with the idea of having other veterans serve as volunteers working in the forest preserves — and perhaps finding the work a refuge, as it is for him. The veteran volunteers also help the preserves by providing needed volunteer work.
And when the work is finished, there's usually a barbecue at the end of the day, which provides fellowship for Harberthur and his fellow veterans.
"What we do out here is strong, hard work," Haberthur says. "And we definitely need the help at the forest preserve. For me personally, it has helped me get more connected to veterans in this area."
Recently, the veteran volunteers helped clear brush from an oak grove at Dick Young, which will allow the younger oaks to grow around several mature oaks that are more than 100 years old.
Haberthur never met Dick Young, who died within the last year, but he had heard of him in the conservation community. After beginning work for the Forest Preserve District, he found out about Young's heroic actions as a World War II veteran at Iwo Jima.
Young was a former Marine who dedicated his life to conservation.
"I realized that was me, too," Haberthur said.
Haberthur joined the Marines in 1999, and was done with his work and back in California, in the reserves, when the events of 9/11 happened. He was called back into active duty, and was among the Marines in the first waves into Iraq, encountering heavy fighting during the "shock and awe" period.
As far as the work goes at the forest preserve, the goals of the program are to remove invasive weeds and restore marsh conditions preferred by native wildlife at Dick Young. The 1.6-acre prairie pothole on the west side of the preserve will be restored to pre-settlement conditions, including the planting of native wetland species, according to district officials.
On the east side of the preserve, hundreds of red oaks and bur oaks will be planted as part of an ongoing restoration effort by the Forest Preserve District. That will be some of the work going on at the next event, from 9 a.m. to noon Dec. 8.
For reservations or more information, call Haberthur at 630-649-1149.

I was very pleasantly surprised with these curtain panels! (I purchased the Chocolate color) Some reviewers said they weren't pleased with the fabric, and it attracted pet hair... which was a concern of mine with my very furry pup! Please know that the fabric is thick, doesn't look cheap, and does NOT attract pet hair. I think they hang nicely, and REALLY keep the cold out, and the heat in... it was a very obvious improvement while sleeping next to a drafty window! I can't recommend these enough. They arrived super-quick, and the price is wonderful for high-quality drapery panels... and yes they do make the bedroom nice and dark! :)
I just received my black out curtain that I ordered in Chocolate. They arrived a bright medium brown, not the color that I was expecting. They are very shiny and attract all duct and pet hair. They do a great job of blocking out the light are are wide enough to only use one panel per window.
I was pleasantly suprised when I recieved my package. I had orderd 2 colors, chocolate brown for the livingrm & blue for my bedroom. Wow, I'm so happy with both. The gromet tops make it so much easier to position & they hang beautifully. The material is so soft & silky. The backs are the same color & I really like this. I couldn't have asked for a better quality of curtain. I will be ordering more for the sliders in the bedroom & livingrm. This definately was a value compared to 'big box stores' that charge 'per panel' & the material doesn't come close to matching these!
Great curtain for that late afternoon sun. We could tell a difference in the room temperature within an hour of hanging them! They also make a perfect, dark room for that afternoon nap!!
I bought these because of the positive reviews, but I am not impressed. The fabric looks cheap--it has a shiny polyester sheen and feels gross to the touch. I am going to return them.
I had found and tried out another brand of drapes at a local discount retailer that claimed to be darkening, but they were still opaque. These drapes were twice the price but still very reasonable and I was searching for true blackout drapes so thought I'd give it a try. Not only do they really truly block out the sun completely, but they're very soft and have a beautiful 'hand'. They feel like silk so it's hard to believe they do such a great job of blocking the sun. Plus, the measurements ensured a nice full luxurious look to our standard width 72 double windows (ea panel is 50 in) and the color choices were great too. I purchased "olive" and its a true deep olive hue. Great value for the price.
I ordered these curtains and some that were twice as expensive from another retailer. I initially didn't care for the look of these curtains, but I was blown away how much light they blocked out after I hung them. I have a lot of light that comes in through the blinds in my townhouse and these curtains block the light completely. While I still am not as pleased with how they look, they are a great value and very functional.
The fabric on these drapes is soft, not textured, color is an olive green, they are also good for muffling sound as well as insulating. They hang nicely, especially with the grommets, gives it a more tailored appearance. If you have a sleeper that is bothered by light at night, these are for you!.
Feel is soft and lovely. No ugly backing, the front and back are the same. They are very nice, and are sturdy and well made, but feel soft as a baby. Heavy but not overly heavy. They do block the light during the day. The room is dim not black with the gray and beige , you can see to get around. I would not want it any darker. Of course, the darker color the curtain the more light block you get. From outside at night you can't tell if a light is on in the room. I ordered gray, I have chocolate, and have recently ordered the beige. I have ordered more , like 3 times, so that tells you that I like them, and that they are a good buy. Very, very nice quality. You can not go wrong with this item. The shipping is fast and the packaging is very good.
I've purchased these on 2 separate occasions. They are made of a nice, heavy material. And they block out every glimmer of light! Difficult to judge how insulating however, there is never a noticeable temp change in front of the window. I have and do highly recommend these curtains!

I worked at MoneyGram International full-time
Pros – The pay is good, and the health benefits are "competitive". Every day, there's a team buying lunch, so just hang around till 1:00pm and you'll eat for free. Every. Day.
Cons – There is absolutely no accountability. There are so many departments and pockets of management that if/when something does break, it's a group problem.
If you start something, and you don't feel like finishing it, just stop talking about it. It goes away naturally. You don't have to finish anything, ever.
You'll see people who have been working there for 10+ years. You might think that they are still there because of their adaptability to change. Wrong. Their number 1 goal is status quo.
If you are right out of college, stay away. You'll develop the absolute worst habits. You'll have the following permanently imprinted into your brain: That's not my job <or> That's the way we've always done it.
As far as learning good habits or a good approach to development or testing, forget about it. You had more process in your senior design group......in high school. I guarantee it. It's the wild west.
You may be thinking you can change this, that you're level headed and can guide them to the light. Unfortunately, change requires you to work across all of the useless departments they have. Those departments are a) ultra protective of what they do, and b) won't help (see above note on "not my job"). Basically, not only will they not help you, but they'll in fact prevent you from trying to change anything. See note above on maintaining status quo.
They waste money. From food to unused software licenses to unnecessary travel.
It is a revolving door of resignations of people at Lead position or below. It has slowed a little bit, but that's because the bonus is right around the corner.
It's almost worth working there, just to see the show. On second thought, this last statement may belong up under "pros".
Advice to Senior Management – Most people in Director and VP roles were replaced in the last 2 years so that change could happen. People in Lead positions and below quit out of frustration. The people in the middle -- managers and "senior" managers -- are the ones who set the tone. Not coincidentally, they're also the ones that have been there the longest.
You want change? Get rid of those piano tuners.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Agger going nowhere
- 14 August 2012 08:36
- Posted by Nicola McCarthy
With the transfer window closing in just over two weeks and the Olympics having come to an end, the back pages are once again fixed on summer signings.
It seems any hopes Roberto Mancini may have had of snatching Liverpool's Daniel Agger have now been quashed with the Danish defender insisting he is going nowhere.
The Guardian reports the Merseyside club have rejected a £20 million bid from the Blues for the 27-year-old who has says he has no wish to leave Anfield.
"I'd rather stay, I can't imagine playing for any other club in England but you never know if the club think it's better to sell me," revealed Agger.
"I know there has been interest from Manchester City, but I don't know what Liverpool are responding to it. I am fine with my situation. The club will have to find out what they want to do. I've heard nothing from them. I'd rather stay but that decision is not up to me at the moment."
Meanwhile The Telegraph reports that Nigel de Jong could soon complete a move to Inter Milan following the arrival of bright young talent Jack Rodwell at the weekend.
"Roberto Mancini is ready to sanction the sale of the Manchester City midfielder to Inter following the £15m purchase of Rodwell," claims the paper's Mark Ogden.
"The City manager had been determined to retain De Jong until the Janurary transfer window due to the groin injury that is set to side-line Gareth Barry until mid-September.
"But with Inter stepping up their interest in De Jong in recent weeks, Mancini is now prepared to sell the Holland international following the breakdown of contract negotiations last summer."
Remember we will be first to let you know if there are any truth in these reports.
Finally for your daily dose of City news this morning, it is being reported that Mario Balotelli will miss Italy's clash with England tomorrow after apparently suffering from a case of conjunctivitis.
Although the 22-year-old will miss the mid-week friendly, Italian coach Cesare Prandelli has made it clear that he has big plans for the City striker.
"We were hoping Balotelli would recover in time, but it wasn't to be," the Italian admitted.
"I want to give him a key role in the long term and I expect him to accept responsibility when I do."

CARBON … my friend Steve Clark likes to point out, "Collectively in the U.S. we are using 10kW of power per person and producing 20+ tons of CO2. We need to get to 1/2 ton -- a 95% reduction in carbon fuel use." … Can we do it?
YELLOWCAKE … No, it's not dessert. At least not in these parts. It's the concentrates of the ore body mined in this region for uranium – carnotite (which also contains vanadium) … Also know as urania, yellowcake is a uranium concentrate obtained from leach solutions. It represents an intermediate step in the processing of uranium ores – not the final product and now the raw ore. These concentrates are prepared by various extraction and refining methods. Typically yellowcakes are processed into a coarse powder which is insoluble in water, containing about 80% uranium oxide, and which melts at approximately 2878°C … The ore is first mashed by passing raw carnotite through crushers and grinders to produce "pulped" ore. This is further processed with concentrated acid, alkaline, or peroxide solutions to leach out the uranium. Yellowcake is what remains after drying and filtering. The yellowcake produced by most modern mills is actually brown or black, not yellow. The name comes from the color and texture of the concentrates produced by early mining operations … Initially, the compounds formed in yellowcakes were not identified. In 1970, the U.S. Bureau of Mine still referred to yellowcakes as the final precipitate formed in the milling process and considered it to be ammonium diuranate or sodium diuranate. The compositions were variable and depended upon the leachant and subsequent precipitating conditions. Among the compounds identified in yellowcakes include: uranyl hydroxide, uranyl sulfate, sodium para-uranate, and uranyl peroxide, along with various uranium oxides. Modern yellowcake typically contains 70 to 90 percent triuranium octoxide (U3O8) by weight. [Other uranium oxides, such as uranium dioxide (UO2) and uranium trioxide (UO3), exist] … Yellowcake is used in the preparation of fuel for nuclear reactors, where it is processed into purified UO2 for use in fuel rods for Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors and other systems using unenriched uranium. It may also be enriched, by being converted to uranium hexafluoride gas (UF6), by isotope separation through gaseous diffusion or in a gas centrifuge to produce enriched uranium suitable for use in weapons and reactors … Yellowcake is produced by all countries in which uranium is mined."

Like the sun
life sometimes surprises you with light
and half remembered beauty.
It comes dazzling over the horizon
or gleaming on the ripples of a breezy sea,
and stuns you,
or it emerges all at once from the greening earth
in blossoms on the apple tree
or at season's end, sweet, ripe fruit.
Like the sun
life sometimes surprises you with light
and all the world shines.

Health Department Finds Record Number of Mosquitoes in Alachua County
Published September 26th, 2013
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE -- Alachua County health officials say they are finding record numbers of mosquitoes across all parts of the county.
In their most recent count for September, officials say they found about 6,000 culex mosquitoes in various light traps around the county, all within a 24 hour period. That's compared to the average number of 2,000.
According to health officials, the culex variety of mosquitoes are the kind most likely to transmit the West Nile virus.
"There are high numbers of the culex variety right now," said Todd Harris of the Alachua County Health Department. "It is the greatest number of this variety for the month of September that we've seen within the last 6 years."
In light of their findings, health department officials are reminding residents to take all the normal precautions against mosquitos, including draining any standing water near your home.
Despite the high levels of mosquitoes, officials say there have been no traces of West Nile virus found in any of the county's sentinel chicken population so far. They attribute the high numbers of mosquitoes to record rainfall amounts in the month of July.
