text: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) was a French painter and illustrator during the Neo-Impressionist and Art Nouveau movements in Paris. He is best known for his bold, clean and sometimes provocative iconic images of modern life in Paris cafés, brothels, bars, and theaters. His most famous works are from the promotional posters he created for numerous businesses and French Theater productions, including the famous Moulin Rouge cabaret dancers. Toulouse-Lautrec attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, eventually settling in the bohemian area of Paris known as Montmartre, from which he gained much of his artistic inspiration. He was also inspired by Japanese woodblock prints, the influence of which can be seen through his block coloring and linear contours, as well as in the clean and simple impressionist styles of Manet and Degas. After Toulouse-Lautrec's death, his mother contributed funds to create the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum at his birthplace in Albi, which now houses the largest collection of his works.

WORTHINGTON -- A few days before Christmas, Rosemary Pilatti called her parents, Bob and Marion Cashel, to let them know that she and her son, Thomas, were coming to Worthington for the holidays. The call, however, came from Luverne, and the Pilattis live in Alaska. They had flown into Sioux Falls, S.D., rented a car, and pulled off a grand Christmas surprise for the Cashels. "It's been 15 years since I was here for Christmas," explained Rosemary. "The summer of 2000 was the last time I was in Worthington.
WORTHINGTON -- With a due date of Jan. 11, Amber Schwarz thought she had a shot at delivering the New Year's baby at Worthington Regional Hospital. But Schwarz went into labor early, bringing Mason James Wallace Larson into the world at 10:26 p.m. on Christmas Day and achieving a different sort of milestone at WRH. Little Mason, weighing 6 pounds 1 ounce, was the 400th baby born in 2006 at WRH. The hospital hasn't had that many births in 15 years. Mason's parents, Schwarz and James Larson, both of Slayton, didn't find out that their baby was No.
WORTHINGTON -- There's not a lot of snow on the porch this year -- or on the deck, the sidewalk, the driveway or the ground -- but the show must go on. "Snow on the Porch: Around the World in 80 Laughs" will premiere at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Memorial Auditorium Performing Arts Center, 814 13th St., Worthington.
WORTHINGTON -- "My wish came true!" That was Jacoba Nagel's emotional reaction when she was informed that her house had been designated earlier this week as the best holiday lighting display in Worthington.
WORTHINGTON -- They walked a short distance, from St. Mary's Catholic Church to First Lutheran Church a few blocks away. But the effort paid homage to a longer and much more significant journey that took place more than 2,000 years ago -- the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. The local Hispanic community gathered Monday night for the third night of Las Posadas, a Hispanic tradition celebrated every night from Dec. 16 to 24. In Spanish, "Posada" simply means shelter or lodging, and the participants re-enact the search for shelter on the very first Christmas.
WORTHINGTON -- The Worthington Area YMCA received a present a week in advance of Christmas. Kelby Krabbenhoft, president and CEO of Sioux Valley Hospital and Health System in Sioux Falls, S.D., announced Monday night that Sioux Valley will donate $300,000 to the YMCA's capital campaign, which is under way to build a new YMCA facility in Worthington. The donation is intended to match the $300,000 pledged to the YMCA by Worthington Regional Hospital, which is part of the Sioux Valley system, even though it is municipally owned. The gift came as a surprise to both WRH executives and the YMCA b
WORTHINGTON -- Three new members were appointed to the Worthington Regional Hospital Board of Trustees at Monday's meeting. Tom Lavelle will fill the unexpired term of Jason Turner, who resigned due to other commitments, effective Dec. 31.
WORTHINGTON -- Three new members were appointed to the Worthington Regional Hospital Board of Trustees at Monday's meeting. Tom Lavelle will fill the unexpired term of Jason Turner, who resigned due to other commitments, effective Dec. 31. Kelly Monthei and Gary Kellen were appointed for initial three-year terms, filling the expired terms of Gary Hoffmann and Grant Sorenson. The board also approved the slate of officers for 2007: David Jueneman, chairman; Steve Robinson, vice chairman; and John Widboom, secretary-treasurer.
OKABENA -- On Tuesday morning, Jan Hartman added the finishing touch to the tally sheet that has hung on the side of her refrigerator for several weeks. A succession of figures had been scribbled and then crossed off, each bigger than the last. Writing down the final number was the culmination of more than a month of mixing and baking.
PHOENIX -- On his Web site, Craig Stellpflug has a section that he calls "Almost Famous Quotes" that contains some of his life philosophies. "I'm really not that original," he explains about the page. "Everything I know and say and do I have learned or borrowed from somewhere." A quote he likes but that isn't posted on this page is certainly apropos to Craig's own life. "One of the things I like to say is, 'If you want something done, give it to a busy person,'" he related.

Your Lisbon holiday
In 1200 BCE, the Phoenicians began to use the area of Lisbon as a trading post. This would be the first of many civilizations to take advantage of Lisbon's strategic economic and political location, situated along the Atlantic and at the mouth of the Tagus River. Under the Roman Empire Lisbon was known as Olissipo, and grew into a city based on shipping. The Moors took over Lisbon in 711 ACE, building mosques and establishing Arabic as an official language and Islam as the official religion.
With help from the English crusaders, the first king of Portugal ousted the Moors in 1147. Christianity was imposed upon Lisbon and Muslims were converted by force or expelled. The city was eventually established as the capital of Portugal and its first university created. Though the onset of the Bubonic Plague and massive civil unrest and rioting weakened Lisbon, it bounced back during the colonial Age of Discovery. Vasco de Gama's successful voyage to India meant prosperity for Lisbon, and the city entered a century of great wealth in which the Torre de Belem and the Jeronimos Monastery were built.
A devastating earthquake in 1755 killed a majority of Lisbon's population and economically destabilized the city for decades, as it required massive reconstruction. The 20th century was coloured by the rule of the totalitarian dictator of Antonio Salazar, who both modernized and plunged Portugal into debt with expensive colonial wars in Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea, in which many lives were lost. The peaceful Carnation Revolution restored democracy to Portugal in 1974. In recent decades Lisbon has seen a growth international investment and is now a thriving cultural and economic centre of Europe.
Spend holidays in Lisbon and immerse yourself in the old world charm of the Portuguese capital.
Nestled on hillside of Portugal's Iberian coast, Lisbon manages to maintain an easy-going non-touristy vibe while offering all the historic sights and fantastic nightlife of Europe. With excellent museums, fine boutiques, and quaint outdoor restaurants and cafés, it is no wonder that Lisbon was named "Europe's Leading City Break Destination" by the World Travel Awards.
Book your flight to Lisbon today!
With its mild southern Mediterranean climate, Lisbon is a year-round destination. Summer lasts from May through October, and in the midsummer months of July and August, average temperatures can reach 29°C. If your holiday plans include a dip in the Mediterranean, this might be ideal, but you should also be prepared for crowds. Breezes from the Mediterranean help cool things off in the evenings, making outdoor dining and night-time activities popular. Winter daytime temperatures average in the mid-teens, so many people from more northerly climates enjoy a sunny Lisbon getaway during the winter months. Spring and fall tend to be short but pleasant, and these shoulder seasons sometimes offer cheaper prices on lodging and flights to Lisbon.
Local residents do their shopping here in Chiado, where chic boutiques, hot restaurants, and trendy cafes abound.

UNESCO dubbed the monastery a World Heritage monument, exemplifying Portuguese art "at its best".

If taking a train into Lisbon, the stops Entrecampos and Sete Rios are the closest to the city centre. Buses coming into Lisbon will leave you at the Sete Rios bus terminal. If coming in by car, take the A2 motorway from the south and east. From the north or east, take the A12 from the A2 after Setúbul and along the Vasco da Gama Bridge. Take the A1 if coming directly from the north.
Around town
The nicest way to travel inside the city is by tram or funicular. Sightseeing trams are the 28 and 25, while the 15 runs from Praca da Figueira to Belém and Algés. Buses and the metro system are faster ways to get around. Tickets valid for all forms of transport can be bought on board or in advance, and a Viva Viagem is a rechargeable card good for multiple trips.
Taxis are cream coloured or black and green, and can be ordered by phone. Tourist taxis are available for hire and have green "A"s on their bumpers.
Travel more freely with Lisbon car hire. Roads are in good condition, though drivers can be undisciplined. Make sure headlights are turned on at all times. Cell phone use while driving is prohibited and all drivers must carry a reflective jacket and warning triangle in case of accidents.

Start with the local oysters or smoked duck rolls, continue with a soft-shell crab risotto or the Iberian pork with padrón peppers and a baked nectarine.

The health infrastructure in Portugal varies, however in the city of Lisbon it is quite good. Ask your local Social Security centre for a European Health Card. For travellers coming from endemic yellow fever areas, a yellow fever vaccine is required. Recommended vaccinations include tetanus, polio, diphtheria, and pertussis.
The water in Lisbon is safe to drink but tastes of chlorine, therefore bottled water Luso or Pedra may be preferred. There are also many well-stocked pharmacies in the city.
Important numbers:
For medical, police, and fire emergencies dial 112.
Police department: (21)814 97 16

Clinics: Santa Maria Hospital, av. Professor Egas Moniz, (21)780 50 00
Assaults in Lisbon are on the rise. Be careful particularly in the districts of Alfama, Baixa, Bairro Alto, St. George's castle, and on public transport. Do not walk alone at night or in poorly lit areas. Try to keep valuable objects such as electronics and jewellery concealed as much as possible. Do not accept food or beverages offered by strangers. Do not walk on the beaches at night and do not leave personal belongings in parked vehicles.
Take a mobile phone, write down emergency numbers, and keep photocopies of all your travel documents on your person. Store originals in your hotel in Lisbon place with some money.

Ugly Weather for Japanese. Map/What to do?
Acer japanicum 'Green cascade' and several other leafed out with many more not far behind. Temp forecasted to go down to 25f then 19F in a couple of days so it could get ugly. What do you do? David
Yes, what to do???? I am also worried abouit my 40+, fully leafed, japanese maples. Even in zone 7b we are expecting freezing and frost conditions this coming weekend. Not only my maples; I have 37 fruit trees, with small fruit, and 75 blueberry bushes. I think the blueberries will be fine, but I can't see me coving everything so I have to make the decision what to cover and what to let go. Bringing in all those heavy pots don't appeal to me either but I guess I have to do it ....this is just too cruel. I would like to hear what others plan to do. - Ivy in NC
Here is a link that might be useful: App-A-Lot Ranch
I have posted in the pro advise thread on this see that post I am gonna use 6x8 tarps ( .99 each) over mine but I have 70+ to do whether that will be enough is a question we should all report back on our experiences ...remember these cold temps are often associated with wind so if you cover tie it down somehow or you'll wake up with your grass protected and your tree crapola'd ... As far as fruit trees you will likey have little or no friut if they are or have bloomed but the trees should be fine same with blueberries but priobably will get some fruit ...your JM's ..????? we will see only good thing misery loves company and there are thousands of JM lovers in the same boat til next monday!!! David
The last time I can remember it getting as cold as they are forecasting after things had pushed so much was in 93 or 94. It did a lot of damage.
Besides the maples a I have cornus cortroversa, peony and strax that have leafed out and even my conifers, Picea abies Crusita and Cedrus Deodara Karl Fuchs are breaking bud. It will be interesting to see what gets damaged and what is tough. Unfortunately it the risk we take planting non-native plants. David
I was wondering would garbage bags do? Such as tall kitchen bags or larger? Mine are small enough for this and a tarp would probably damage the delicate branches of the smaller or delicate ones.
I was going to report on what survived the unusually cold winter (not so much extremely cold which it wasn't but the string of days and weeks of zero degree weather--I'll report on this later as it was extremely interesting what damaged my real small JMs. Hint: it wasn't the cold)since my last post back in the fall had to do with the very issue of cold hardiness, but we have to get through this week!!
Once the buds start to swell and get close to opening will this stall them from opening or is that a very wishful thinking? Two left to protect, which my lazy bottom is debating going out in the cold & wind to cover a bloodgood and a seedling. Off I go....
Thanks for the tips. Aside from the original protection from wind that we had discussed in the forum before (which is very important for northern gardeners. That is, to create something of a micro-climate in one's backyard favorable to JM's)I think I'll let nature take its course. They've proven to be cold hardy through an extended cold winter. They should get through a week of cold--I hope. :)
My trees have shriveled, somewhat cooked-looking leaves this morning - so damage has clearly taken places from the cold. The trees are very vigorous and healthy. Will they recover over the course of the spring? Do they put out a new set of leaves?

Rich Crandall delays resignation from Arizona senate over benefits
PHOENIX -- Arizona State Sen. Rich Crandall is holding off his resignation fro the Legislature until his new job's health coverage kicks in.
The Arizona Capitol Times reported that Crandall started work as Wyoming education director Aug. 5 and had planned to have his resignation from the Arizona Senate take effect Aug. 16.
However, Crandall said that's changed because his health insurance coverage in Arizona ends immediately upon his resignation and his new coverage doesn't begin until Sept. 1.
He said he can't allow a lapse in coverage because two of his children have pre-existing medical conditions.
The Arizona Legislature is not in session.
Crandall now plans to resign his legislative job effective Aug. 31.
The process of appointing a replacement begins once Crandall resigns.

Rusty Garrett here with the weekend outlook: Bright, blue skies and breezy winds out of the south will keep Saturday and Sunday pleasantly warm in the 70s!
WACO (April 17, 2013)—David Evans, 48, who was charged in connection with a burglary and shooting earlier this week, is no longer employed as superintendent of Waco's historic Oakwood Cemetery, officials confirmed Wednesday afternoon.
Evans was charged with burglary of a habitation with intent to commit another felony after an incident Sunday night in Belton in which a woman identified as his wife was shot in the shoulder.
Vicki Evans is recovering and is expected to return to work soon, authorities said Wednesday.
After his arrest, Evans was jailed in lieu of $10,000 bond, but did not appear on the Bell County Jail log on Wednesday.
Belton police said Evans claimed to be an undercover narcotics officer with the McLennan County Sheriff's Office.
But when officers called to verify the claim, they were told he's not a deputy, McLennan County Chief Deputy Matt Cawthon said.
Evans once served as a reserve deputy, but is no longer associated with the sheriff's office.
Evans had served as Oakwood's superintendent since 2007, taking over from his father who oversaw the cemetery for 39 years.

Hey guys, just wondering if any of you know how I can fix this. Ever since I upgraded my internet (a week ago) I haven't been able to login. It comes up with Server is currently busy. Please try again later. Then it says login failed go to the support page. Any ideas? I've checked to make sure the Internet Explorer settings are correct and I tried that options setting with allow peer to peer transfer turning that on and off. Help would be much appreciated!
I've also tried deleting, re-downloading and re-installing. Didn't help. I can log onto my account at my friends house so I assume it is my internet settings? What do I change so I can play?
Senior Wrenchman
Please make sure you've run through all of the fixes here, http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...ad.php?t=52018
I am having this same issue as of this morning. Is this a widespread occurrence across the na server?
same problem here too
same problem here.
Open Internet explorer --> open internet options --> click advanced tab --> scroll down and uncheck the two boxes named "Check for server certificate revocation*" and "Check for signatures on downloaded programs".
I ran into this problem after i reinstalled IE and this fix worked for me..

Bath's Bok cleared of foul play
Wed, 26 Sep 2012 08:41
Contact between Michael Claassens and Matt Garvey was a clumsy collision
The citings of Bath duo Dan Hipkiss and Michael Claassens, for foul play, have been dismissed.
Hipkiss was cited for a 'tip tackle' on Jamie Gibson and Claassens for kicking Matthew Garvey during last Saturday's Premiership Round Four match against London Irish at the Madejski Stadium.
The panel comprised Nick Dark, Mike Curling and the RFU Disciplinary Officer, Jeff Blackett.
"On review of the DVD the panel determined that Dan Hipkiss did not drop or drive Jamie Gibson's head and/or upper body in to the ground," Blackett said.
"Dan Hipkiss tackled Jamie Gibson such that he landed on his back, so that the elements of Law 10.4.J were not made out.
"The panel determined that the contact between Michael Claassens and Matt Garvey was a clumsy collision.
"Michael Claassens' movements were defensive and he made contact with knee and arms. He did not kick Matt Garvey. In the circumstances, an offence under 10.4.C is not made out."

My saga continues with the nose surgery and cpap machine. My nose has finally healed enough so I can try to use my cpap machine again, but now the pressure is too much and I can't get to sleep with the mask on. I went back to my sleep apnea doctor and they are going to try to adjust the pressure in my machine down to a four for the next couple of weeks until they can do another sleep study on me to see what is going on in the middle of April.
I'm trying to get my cpap machine back to the medical supply company so they can tweak it, but there was a mix up with the script, so it still hasn't been adjusted. Hopefully, I can get it done this week. Also my employer is questioning my performance at work because they've been changing the metrics of my job and my stats are not up to their expectations, so the migraine/sleep apnea thing is really impacting things right now.
I thought by now that my medical problems might be better so it's so discouraging. I don't want to look at more invasive surgeries down the road. I kept telling myself that if I got through the nose surgery and started using my cpap more, things would be better and it's not happening. What if the next couple of things don't help either???

Migraine Doodle
I've been working on my own style migraine distraction doodle, where I don't have to think much when I'm trying to draw it, so it just distracts the pain. I'm not sure what to call it. It's like a henna inspired cloud thing.

Mini Migraine Mandalas
So my sinus surgery went well, but it's taking forever for my nose to heal. It's still too sore to use my cpap mask so my migraines have been acting up big time. I should have known this would happen because I had a tooth extraction last year that took months to heal. This nose thing shouldn't be a big surprise, but it's still frustrating to go through the whole surgery thing and not see any results yet. I keep telling myself to just be patient and hang in there.

"We loved this version because we were able to select different pictures that told a story about our "Save The Date" for our wedding. We got them as magnets and are very happy with the way they turned out."
"I loved how easy it was to upload our photos on the template. The simple elegance of this save the date is what caught my eye. I wish there there was more opportunity to insert extra text without going through a designer (the only thing I would add). Overall, I'm very satisfied!!"
"We loved these when they showed up and everyone can put them up on a metal surface like a fridge. No losing them and a great reminder to save the date. Great quality."
"My save the dates came to my house in less than a week after ordering and looked exactly how they did online and exactly how I wanted them to look. Not to mention, I got a hand written card a few days later telling me how much they liked my magnets and enjoyed working on them. I will definitely be using this company for my invitations in a few months and have already recommended them to others."
"I looked everywhere for a STD magnet and couldn't find something I liked. When I seen this magnet from WPD I knew it was the one. I was hesitant that it wouldn't be good quality since the price was so cheap. I was afraid that it would be too little or too big of a magnet. I ordered the sample before I placed the order and I was so excited when I received the sample it was exactly what I was hoping for. The quality was great and the magnet was a perfect size.I went through with the order and I'm so happy I did. We have recieved so many compliments. I highly recommend this product, you won't be dissapointed."

Set in 19h century New York Society, This novel is filled with a delightful tapestry of details in setting, as well as a cast of unforgettable characters. A young lawyer in the center of this book, yearns to break out of the conventions of his well ordered life and we follow his thoughts and glances directed to his wife's cousin who is estranged from her "foreign" and terrible husband. The story develops around their "love affair" consisting of stolen moments, fingers touching, and occasional eye contact. The reader is held in suspense to see if our young man fulfills his desire or if the pull of New York's society keeps everything in check.
The delight is in the reading rather than a chase to get to the end.

County keeps courting Colo. company
Published: Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 1:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 5:55 p.m.
Marion County has offered financial aid to entice a Colorado-based manufacturer — and almost 200 new jobs — to town. Company executives, though appreciative of the signal of support, say they are being courted by other communities and won't make a final decision for another month or so.
The County Commission has unanimously approved spending $105,000 as part of a state-local matching grant for Integrated Manufacturing, a parent company of several smaller manufacturing firms.
The funding would be augmented by another $420,000 from the state — for a total package of $525,000 — to help the company consolidate some of its operations at a site in Ocala. Local business recruiters have said the city of Ocala would also be asked to help Integrated Manufacturing with relocation costs.
In return, the company is expected to bring to Ocala up to 175 new jobs, paying an average of $36,375 a year, and invest up to $10 million for a new plant and equipment.
Rick Michael, director of the county's Office of Economic and Small Business Development, told the commission on Tuesday that Integrated Manufacturing would hire between 50 and 75 people in the first year and reach its employment target within three years.
Those jobs would be primarily related to the relocation of the firm's Oregon operation that builds curb-making equipment for road projects.
But the consolidation effort could entail relocating other holdings in Ocala, specifically to the 62,000-square-foot Bailey Industries building in the 700 block of Southwest 17th Street.
Integrated Manufacturing, through its subsidiaries, including an outfit in North Florida, also makes stairway railings for large commercial buildings such as hospitals and schools and flood-control equipment, its executives said.
Overall, the company owns nine companies spread out across the country, Cathy Stanbridge, Integrated Manufacturing's operations director, said after the vote.
The company has contemplated siting many of those operations under one roof, President Julie Fisher added, and seeks an East Coast outlet to facilitate its access to European markets.
Marion County might have a leg up on its competitors with the County Commission's offer, the Bailey Industries building, the immediate access to Interstate 75, and relative proximity to port towns.
Still, Fisher said, Integrated Manufacturing is weighing offers from other communities in Florida, the Carolinas and elsewhere.
"The first town or township that can give us everything we need wins," said Fisher, who indicated that company executives hoped to make a decision within 30 days or so.
If Ocala prevails, the Ocala-Marion County Economic Development Corp. seeks to convince Integrated Manufacturing to set up another of its holdings in the community: a plant that builds huge tanks that hold nuclear and other chemical waste to serve the federal Energy and Defense departments.
Fisher said Integrated Manufacturing has selected a place for that plant in Colorado, but would consider shifting it.

seeing how Beltre just scored says it all.. The Rangers KNOW how to Win no matter who they loose.. Same with the Cardinals.. I pray the Reds will get to that stage.. I just hope I live long enough to see it happen!!

Mesoraco grounds out to short
Just kind of feels like this might not be the Reds year. They've played admirably for most of the season, but they look like they've been losing steam for a little bit of time now. They've done well despite not having Cueto and a couple injuries, but it kinda seems like all of that is catching up to them now.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said.

That's an amazing statement."

Cute boot for the price.
Cute boots for an easy price. Comfy enough to wear out all day. Color is more of a GREY BROWN than the dark brown in the picture..Read More
Loved them!
Loved them! The color is somewhat lighter than picturedRead More
Looks so cheap
Not comfortable, still in a box so dissapointed, the looks of the shoes.Read More
Boots too small
Ordered these for my daughter. She loved the boots, but they were too small (almost by a size) and the zipper did not zip smoothly. Didn't keep them because of the size, but also afraid the zipper would break. Got a coat from Overstock and it was a perfect fit and wonderful quality. Will definitely order from Overstock again, but would beware of the shoe sizing.Read More
Nice for the Price
They take a minute to get on, but there are a couple different ways to wear them and they go with all of my skinny jeans and leggings. If you're looking for a pair of really comfortable, warm, cute, cheap boots, I'd check these out for sure.Read More
For the price, they're decent. If you want boots of quality and comfort, these are not them. They are not comfortable to wear for long periods of time, the shoe laces are stiff and cheap feeling, and the zipper on the back is obviously cr@p. For my budget, they were a good choice, but once I can get a better quality pair, these will be out.Read More
Good for the price!!
I brought these boots because my other Roxy boots got a hole in them after three years, so this is a downgrade. I like the back zip on them which makes them comfortable and easy to take off. I like the way it folds over and are great with my long socks. They must look good because I had some haters wishing they had some.Read More
Love my new boots
I love, love, love this addition to my wardrobe. They are so versatile. I can wear them with skirts, shorts, pants, dresses. And the ability to change up the look with the side snaps and the flannel lining is awesome.Read More
plastic and glue!
The boots got here super fast. The first boot out of the box was smelly plastic with glue pulling from the heel between the upper and the sole. I never even bothered to pull the other boot out of the box....they were back in the box and mailed back to Overstock within the hour. The return label was fast and easy to access. I hope that the rest of the process will go as well. My experience with returns in the past has steared me away from this site. I took another chance here and hopefully they will be better with the return process this time. That said, I have also purchased many really good products here at great prices. This boot is a poorly made bad product. If you see it from very very far away it is a cute style.Read More

Buying women's boots at the end of the season will not only save you money, but may also give you a foot up in fashion. The following tips will help you shop for clearance boots at the best time of the year.
Best Women's Pants for the Weekend
After a week of wearing professional clothes for work, dressing casually and comfortably for the weekend just requires a few pairs of women's pants. This does not mean you have to skimp on style. Whether you want to have a dinner out with friends or simply need to run errands, there are plenty of comfortable wardrobe options that do not involve T-shirts and sweatpants. Stay stylish during the weekend by choosing women's pants that fit and pairing them with accessories, blouses and shoes you already own. Wear khaki pants for almost every occasion. Khaki pants are perfect for weekend wear, especially if you want an alternative to jeans. Khaki pants are casual but still appear stylish and come in a variety of lengths. Cropped khaki pants hit at about mid-calf, and capris fall just below the knee. The most flattering style is straight-leg because it gives khakis the appearance of being well-fitted and works with any type of shoe. Find the perfect pair of jeans. Jeans are the ultimate pants for the weekend. Comfortable and versatile, women's jeans come in a variety of washes and colors to go with anything in the wardrobe. Cuts like wide-leg, low-rise, boot-cut and straight-leg allow women of any size and body shape to find a pair of jeans that fit well. While women's jeans may be considered casual, pairing them with heels or wedge shoes and a loose-fitting blouse or sweater can create a more formal or put-together look. To keep jeans casual on the weekend, pair them with flats and a knitted top. Stay comfortable in velour pants. If you prefer to lounge the weekend away or just run a few errands, velour pants are soft and can be worn year-round. Velour pants often come in sets with zip-up hoodies, giving you a simple option for weekend wear. These pants come in a variety of colors, often include pockets and offer a simple drawstring waistband for comfort. Velour pants are also great for working out, so you can easily wear them throughout the day before a trip to the gym or outdoor activity.

Tips on Wearing Black Boots
They can look classic or edgy, and a pair of women's black boots is a style essential. But with so many options available, you won't want to limit yourself to one pair of basic black boots. Try one of these styles and different ways to wear them.
How to Care For Hiking Boots
Caring for your hiking boots will prolong their life and make them more comfortable during long hikes. Both men's boots and women's boots provide support during the most challenging of climbs. Hiking boots are designed to protect your feet while you're enjoying the outdoors, and proper maintenance will determine how much comfort and protection they can offer. Neglecting your hiking boots can cause an unpleasant time on the trail, but a little attention to detail will ensure you have the safest and most comfortable footwear possible.
Top 5 Rain Boots
For splashing in puddles or simply navigating slippery sidewalks, you can't beat rain boots, especially ones in your favorite colors and patterns. Update your collection of boring brown and black cold-weather boots with bright women's rain boots and patterned tights. Once you've got the outfit and great plaid rain boots, you just need a fierce thunderstorm and a great song to sing. Read on for the top 5 rain boots that'll have you puddle-jumping all night long.
How to Wear Ankle Boots
One of the most popular and easy-to-wear women's boots is the ankle boot, which hits right at the ankle and can be worn with many different outfits. If you make smart wardrobe decisions, ankle boots can visually lengthen your legs and add a chic edge to an otherwise ordinary outfit. Pay attention to the silhouette when you wear women's boots and thoughtfully select slimming pieces to create a streamlined outfit.
Sheepskin Boot Fact Sheet
Sheepskin boots have been a growing fashion trend since the early 2000s; however, they have been around for a lot longer than that. Sheepskin boots were worn for centuries before today's modern trend. They were used primarily for warmth and comfort by people with rural occupations, such as sheep shearers in China, Australia and the Arctic, where the raw materials are readily available and easily accessible. Today, sheepskin footwear is widely popular among men and women of all ages; the boots provide warmth, comfort and style. Here are some facts about sheepskin boots.
Best Styles of Booties for Evening
Ankle boots, or booties, are a versatile fashion option. They can be worn with a variety of outfits for many different occasions, from a lavish dinner at a four-star restaurant to a company party. Pick out evening-appropriate women's ankle boots that add flair and class to your outfit by following a few simple guidelines. Try embellished booties for a trendy look. Women's booties embellished with chains, big buckles, laces and buttons can work great when paired with a short skirt. The exact embellishment you choose is up to you, but no matter what, these extras will lend an edgy touch to your evening outfit. Match the color of your embellishments with the tone of your jewelry for a truly polished, put-together look. Pair women's ankle boots with tights or wear them bare-legged, depending on the formality of the occasion. While black booties tend to go with anything, you can experiment with different colors of embellished booties to give your look a boost. Booties that are a little slouchy also look great with jeans or a skirt. Leather booties look great for every occasion. Leather booties work well for a classic, chic and monochromatic look. Booties without adornments, such as buckles, bows or chains, can be patent leather (for a dressy look), suede or faux leather. Leather booties can be matte or shiny and often come in lace-up styles as well. This works best when you want your style to be understated but still want to add sophistication to your look. Coordinate your ankle boots with your outfit or pick another color to make your clothes pop. Wear them with a knee-length skirt or paired with a pair of dark jeans. You can also wear them with a tunic and thick leggings for a warmer, comfortable look. Open-toe booties are stylish and fashion-forward. If you really want to try something different, give open-toed booties a try. These will lend the most edge to your look. Pair these with a short skirt in order to make them pop. If it's cold outside, you might want to wear these open-toed booties with a pair of matching tights to stay warm. These ankle boots work well for going out to a club or rock concert, but they can also complement a party dress or a pair of jeans for a dressier event.

Saturday was a day for many people to take time out of their lives to focus on others for the Stamp Out Hunger effort.
The food drive took over the U.S. Postal Service in Albuquerque.
"This is the best thing in the world, I mean, this is a feel good moment," one volunteer said.
Every year, the postal service joins up with the Roadrunner Food Bank and the Campbell Soup Company to collect food. The postal carriers pick up boxes and bags of food that people leave by their mailboxes.
The food collected today will go to the Roadrunner Food Bank. Last year, the effort raised just under 195,000 pounds of food in the Albuquerque area.

Researchers from the University of Adelaide have rediscovered the loss of oyster reefs in South Australia from about 70 years ago. PhD student Heidi Alleway and her supervisor Professor Sean Connell have put together a historical reconstruction of the reefs, which were formed by the native flat oyster also known as the angasi. She says they have found that historically reefs were very widely distributed and they actually occurred over a large area of the South Australian coastline. But now there doesn't seem to be any more. Read more here

Video of Ore. police subduing man prompts lawsuit
Police were cleared of any wrongdoing by two different review boards
By Steve Benham
PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland police considered all their options and used appropriate force when they used a Taser and punched a man they were attempting to arrest, a police lieutenant with the police bureau's Internal Affairs Unit said in a letter to the man.
The letter, dated Oct. 28, 2011, was written by Chris Davis in response to a request from the police chief to investigate the arrest of Jason Cox in June 2011. It was released by police Wednesday. Cox says the officers who arrested him used excessive force. He has filed a lawsuit against the city of Portland for $500,000.
Security camera video from Pallas Club, a Southeast Portland strip club, captured the arrest in the club's parking lot. Police suspected Cox was driving drunk. n the video, Cox can be seen arguing with officers. Eventually, officers move to spread Cox's legs, but it leads them all to fall to the ground.
