By Seth Colter Walls
Mocking people who care about coffee is a proud American tradition dating back approximately to the birth of Starbucks. The same jokes about coffee-dandyism that filled up many a half-hour of the '90s-era sitcom "Frasier" still work for "The New Girl." (And "Portlandia." And "Funny or Die.") The attitude has become so commonplace that it infects journalism about contemporary coffee appreciation. Glance at The New York Times' recent item on the latest high-market brew outfit to open a glitzy showcase space in Manhattan. There is a faint but unmistakable note of derision in lines like, "If you want to learn how grind size affects extraction, here's your chance."
But if coffee is something you drink every day - perhaps multiple times a day - why shouldn't you want to learn how grind size affects extraction from a coffee bean? Why should paying attention to such a detail be regarded as any more annoying a habit than having the patience to remember to preheat an oven, peel an onion, or perform any of the sundry other preparatory tasks that we endure in order to improve the taste of products we intend to ingest?
The answer has to do a lot with access to knowledge about coffee and comfort with being seen as pretentious - both of which work overtime as markers of class. Today's elite roasters don't do much to undermine popular conceptions about coffee connoisseurship: note the dandified presentation that appears to be mandatory for Stumptown baristas, or the very name of Intelligentsia Coffee. But that's all marketing, which a person can - and often should - choose to ignore.
Coffee evangelists also undermine their own cause by making the brewing process appear too fussy. The New Yorker's Kalefa Sanneh memorably narrated his own personal practice ("If you are staying in a B.&B., you can barge into their kitchen and insist on making coffee with your own gear"). Slate's June Thomas profiled a champion barista with a "meticulous attention to detail" ("I write down how much coffee I'm using, how much water. I take a record of the time it took to brew, of the grind size. And then if I don't like it, I change one variable each time.") Just last month, Wired's Mat Honan offered his "Coffee Essentials for the Perfect Cup," to the tune of $509 (and that's before beans). I suspect that many readers of such detailed, information-rich items may experience them as further evidence that artisanal coffee appreciation requires too much investment of time and money. All of those articles have useful information in them, but their proud precision makes them not-at-all persuasive introductory guides for the uninitiated.
Here's the truth: You don't have to be a champion barista (or aspire to be one) in order to dramatically, and quickly, improve your at-home coffee process, nor do you need to spend $500 on equipment. You can acquire a few pieces of basic gear, order beans directly from one of the best roasters working today, and immediately begin making coffee at home that's many times better than what's being served at Starbucks or your local price-inflated but barely serviceable café. And the per-cup price is better, too - such that, just a few weeks into your new at-home process, you'll have recouped the costs of your initial investments.
What follows is a crash course in being a B+ coffee snob. Or, if we decide to divorce any and all associations of taste-distinction from snobbery (as I think we should), we could call this a guide to having better coffee without making your whole life about coffee.
The method of choice for B+ coffee appreciation is pour-over, which is basically putting your coffee in a conical dripper and then gradually pouring boiling water over it; the coffee filters into a vessel beneath the dripper. This technique allows you an enormous amount of control over the strength and flavor of your coffee, but it doesn't require a huge investment of money (or space) in special equipment. For instance, you don't need a $105 gooseneck kettle, as Wired recommends. Gooseneck kettles are designed to direct water to the area of the dripper you most want to hit, but if you just jiggle the spigot on a regular kettle, you'll be able to break up the clumps of fresh grounds easily. Nor do you need Wired's special "coffee vault" for storing your beans; in my experience, using fresh beans within two weeks of their roasting date works just fine. (Just don't store your beans directly under the sun.)
The only moderately expensive piece of unfamiliar equipment you will need to acquire is a conical burr grinder, which grinds beans finely and evenly (as opposed to a disc grinder, which tends to chop them in half once and call it done). Apart from that, you'll need to acquire a dripper, a server (a glass carafe with measurement lines on it), and, if you don't have one already, a digital kitchen scale (preferably one you can "zero-out" after placing a small cup on it, which is what you'll put the beans in as you measure).
You really do need this stuff, because you won't get the full benefits of a coffee's flavor unless you're exact about the weight of your beans and the volume of your water. Estimating the weight of grounds - and being wrong by half a gram on either side - is what most often accounts for sourness or bitterness. (Different kinds of beans can be different sizes, so you can't just scoop by volume.) And letting too much water pass through the filter is how overextraction (which muddles or obscures coffee's taste) happens.
Is this starting to sound complicated? Rest assured that when you get it down, the process for making a 12-ounce pour-over cup of coffee takes about six minutes total - beginning when you set your kettle of water on a burner and ending when you take your first sip. It might not be quite as fast as dumping an inaccurately measured pile of coffee in a drip machine, pressing "start," and waiting for the machine to burble its way to a haphazardly extracted full pot, but it's pretty close. And it takes way less time than going to your local café and waiting in line behind picky people placing complicated latte orders.
It's cheaper, too. I used to burn through $10 a day, during an average freelance-writing shift, on burnt-tasting café coffee. When I decided to start making coffee at home, I spent about $125 on the equipment listed above. Of course, the best equipment in the world is useless without good beans. I'm a Stumptown person, in part out of loyalty to my Portland, Ore., heritage, and in part because I can buy them locally in New York. Their cheapest beans - which are uniformly excellent - run about $16.50 per three-quarter-pound bag, which yields around 10 12-ounce servings. That makes large coffees that are about half the price that they normally go for in my north-Brooklyn neighborhood. It took about two months for my equipment to pay for itself.
You certainly don't have to limit yourself to Stumptown's basic beans, though. Becoming a B+ coffee snob will let you take advantage of the renaissance that's going on right now with roasters. (Heart, Coava and Sterling all deserve mention.) Suddenly, amazing, nuanced coffee flavors you never knew about will become accessible to you: the varieties of chocolaty goodness in Central and Latin American cups, the tart and spicy inflections of African coffees, or else the oddly savory and sometimes tea-like profiles of Indonesian-sourced beans. The tasting notes may sound a little pretentious, but they're not incorrect. When the notecard that comes with one of Stumptown's current hits - Indonesia Sulawesi Toarco Toraja - promises "sweet and juicy notes of red currant and plum coat your palate in a cup with the taste and texture of molasses," that's actually pretty on the mark. But the only way to bring these flavors to the fore is to weigh your beans, grind them finely, and add water carefully.
Ready to get started? For a 12-ounce cup made from Stumptown beans:
When the coffee hits the 12-ounce mark on the server, remove the dripper, drink your coffee, and get on with your day.
That's it! The first cup is not going to be the best one you will ever make, but it will taste excellent compared to the swill you've been using to kick off the day. After a few test runs, the choreography will become second nature. At this point in the morning, I'm more likely to trip over my own feet than to overextract my coffee.
The best thing about B+ coffee snobbery is that it is customizable. You'll experiment to find your own pour rhythms. Maybe underextracting slightly is your thing, or going finer on your grind. (Bitterness and sourness are in the taste buds of the drinker.) But most importantly, you'll get dependably better tasting coffee, without the project taking over your entire life.

Rest assured, the command center at MLB headquarters for the First-Year Player Draft is not called a War Room because emotions and hostilities flare during five hours and 22 rounds.
But the name applies because of the precision with which everything is arranged and executed during the most influential afternoon on the baseball calendar.
"Most of the work for this day is done long before we get here, beginning in April," says Jeff Pfeifer, MLB's Manager of Baseball Operations.
It shows.
Do not mistake this for the draft circus staged by football and basketball. There is no stage, no audience, no premier prospects sitting by for their first bows.
There aren't even any general managers on hand, or any representative of the 30 Major League clubs. Since shortly after its onset in the mid-'60s, this draft has been conducted by conference phone call.
Thus, in the MLB War Room, there is no outward sentiment because there are no rooting interests
In the early morning, the only tip-off that a draft is about to take place, that in the next two days more than a thousand of names will be called out in life-changing 20-second sound bytes, are the tools covering much of the glossy 25-foot conference table.
In front of Roy Krasik, MLB's Senior Director of Baseball Operations, sits the centerpiece, a complex program written by MLB programmer Aaron Becher that simulatenously logs and verifies each selection. Into the spreadsheet will be entered the selections as they are made -- not to the accompaniment of rolling drums or blaring horns, to be sure.
The table is dotted with several other laptops, in front of each of which sits another key cog in the MLB talent development machine, such as Rick Oliver, Asst. Director, Major League Scouting Bureau.
Also present are three long cases of filled-out index cards, and another file of blank cards. Index cards are the currency of the draft.
The filled-out cards contain information on about 1,600 previously-drafted players, the "re-drafts" to which selecting clubs often refer. They are split into alphabetical thirds, each presided over by someone who will frantically rifle through his stack when the name of a player in his range is called out. Others will complete the blank cards, just as hastily, for first-time draftees.
It is 10 minutes before the first pick, and the room is void of tension. There's a calm air of expectancy, as Conference Room D is filled by various department heads and other MLB employees from throughout the 31st Floor - draft lookie-loos who will all be long gone even before the selections reach the double-digit rounds.
With no fanfare, the Pirates get the draft going by selecting "Re-draft number 0090, Bryan Bullington, right-handed pitcher from Ball State University."
The guy with the A-J box gets his fingers busy.
Before he can retrieve Bullington's card, two more selections are made. These guys don't waste time. No 15-minute mulling period between picks. No commercial breaks. No idle time.
On this first five-hour day, the machine will go through the 22 rounds plus two supplemental rounds. Factoring in 10-minute catch-your-breath breaks after every five rounds, that breaks down to 2 1/2 selections per minute.
During one of the breaks, trays of snacks are delivered and placed in the middle of the table. A young lady enters the room and leans over a plate of baked goods, intently studying the spread. She announces to no one in particular, "Bob DuPuy asked for a brownie."
Clearly, MLB's President & Chief Operating Officer has made his own draft selection.
In club War Rooms throughout the continent, there doubtless are flashes of emotion. Elation if a wish-list entry is still available when it is the club's turn to pick. Perhaps, even anger when a desired player has to be erased from the club's Big Board.
Here in Conference Room D, however, business proceeds with cold efficiency, as it must if the process is to unfold without snags. Only the flat voices of club officials coming through the squawk box, and that of Krasik repeating each pick, pierce the quiet.
The proclamations of choices are bland, of the rank-name-serial number variety. Exceptions are made for players with established baseball genes.
The respective farm director strays from the script to proudly declare, "The Cardinals select outfielder Matt Lemanczyk, son of former Major Leaguer Dave Lemanczyk." Or Prince (Cecil) Fielder, Nicholas (Steve) Swisher, John (John) Mayberry, Kris (Bryan) Harvey, Brad (Ron) Hassey or any of the many other big-league sons who are tabbed.
Otherwise, only one voice from the box is filled with color, not blandness. It belongs to Tommy Lasorda, a Los Angeles vice president announcing the Dodgers' selections. Lasorda's pep and energy contrast the decorum in the room and is a welcome change every 10 minutes or so.
But even Lasorda sounds as if he is beginning to fade when time comes for him to declare the Dodgers' 17th-round selection: Sambu Ndungidi, a French-speaking outfielder from St. Georges High School in Canada.
Lasorda tries. "Sambu Na...Nid-an-giddy. . . try spelling thatname. The guy's an eye-chart."
The draft selection goes even faster than anticipated. MLB had hoped to get in 20 rounds on this first day, and leave the final 30 for Wednesday. But since no one is asking for extra time to make a pick, the process zips by the 20-round mark.
Although Roy Krasik bails out after 15, turning the moderator's job over to Jeff Pfeifer. After having echoed nearly 500 selections, Krasik's throat needs a break.
It should be duly noted that when the chips were down and he had to follow Tom Lasorda, Pfeifer aced "Sambu Ndungidi."

Star Trek t shirt - a great for fans
By jp uk
from Jersey, UK
About Me Individual Individual
Best Uses
Comments about this product:
although a bit pricey for a t shirt, the Star Trek theme worth it when looking for a special gift for a fan. I would buy more if cheaper (but in the end would have spent more!). At least the t shirt is good quality (not washed it yet but looks like it'd wash up well - hope Kirk & co. don't beam off when washed!).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

JENNIFER PELTZ, Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) -- Mayor Michael Bloomberg is proposing removable flood walls for much of lower Manhattan, a permanent 15-to-20-foot levee in part of Staten Island and a system of gates and levees at a Brooklyn creek as part of a nearly $20 billion plan to protect New York City from storms and global warming.
Bloomberg's proposals in a speech Tuesday also include building dunes in Staten Island and the Rockaways, and considering building a levee and a new development at the South Street Seaport that would echo nearby Battery Park City.
He's also suggesting giving $1.2 billion in grants to property owners to flood-proof their buildings.
The speech stems from a study undertaken after Superstorm Sandy.
Bloomberg says the city and Sandy relief will provide $10 million for these projects.
"We have to look ahead and anticipate any and all future threats, not only from hurricanes and other coastal storms but also from droughts, heavy downpours and heat waves — many of which are likely to be longer and more intense in the years to come," an excerpt from the mayor's planned speech says.
Bloomberg said last winter the study would examine the pros and cons of building berms, dunes, levees and other coast-protection structures. But he has historically been cool to the idea of massive sea walls — and emphatic about not suggesting that people retreat from coastal communities.
The recommendations will draw from updated predictions from the New York City Panel on Climate Change, a scientists' group convened by the city.
The average day could be 4 degrees to nearly 7 degrees hotter by mid-century, the panel estimates in data Pinsky and Holloway discussed Monday. A once-in-a-century storm would likely spur a surge 5 or more feet higher than did Sandy, which sent a record 14-foot storm tide gushing into lower Manhattan.
And with local waters a foot to 2½ feet higher than they are today, 8 percent of the city's coastline could see flooding just from high tides, the group estimates. Most of that coast is in a relatively undeveloped area near a bay.
City Hall, the state government and others have released warnings over the years about climate risks. The city has required some new developments in flood zones to be elevated and has restored wetlands as natural barriers, among other steps.
"Sandy, obviously, increased the urgency of dealing with this and the need to plan and start to take concrete steps," Holloway said.
The new projections echo 2009 estimates from the climate change panel, but the timeframe for some upper-end possibilities has moved up from the 2080s to mid-century.
"The overall numbers are similar, but we have more compelling evidence now that (a more severe scenario from 2009) is looking like a more realistic possibility now," due to improved computer models and more evidence that some ice sheets are melting, said Radley Horton, a climate scientist with Columbia University's Earth Institute and a researcher with the city climate panel.
Scientists have reached a consensus on global warming but still debate how severe the effects will be.
Meanwhile, the Federal Emergency Management Agency released revisions Monday to proposed new flood zone maps for the city. About 218,000 people and 35,000 buildings are in the current once-in-100-year flood zone, drawn in the 1980s. The new maps roughly double those numbers, though the revision shifts about 5,800 structures from a subset called the V zone — the area expected to suffer the worst damage — to a less stringent zone.
A roughly two-year review is expected before new maps become official. They can affect building regulations and insurance.

Nicolet's new dress code bans cleavage and more
What started with a look at how to deal with kids who wear sagging pants in school turned into a bigger discussion on the Nicolet's overall dress code…and by the time it was over, administrators at the North Shore school came up with a bunch of new rules that to require kids to keep most of their bodies covered up.
Under the new policy, students will be prohibited from wearing tube tops, tops with spaghetti straps or any top displaying cleavage, backs and the midriff area. In fact, students will have to be fully clothed from their shoulders to just above the knee cap.
The new rules also prohibit kids from wearing pajamas bottoms or any sleepwear at school, something that has become a disturbing trend for school officials.
"We were having some kids in pajama pants carrying blankets," noted Principal Greg DePue. ""We want this to be an academic atmosphere."
The tougher dress code also prohibits students from wearing clothing that reveals tights and leggings or that exposes their underwear.» Read Full Article

Whitefish Bay leads state in ACT scores
Whitefish Bay — Whitefish Bay High School's ACT scores have once again topped all other public schools in the state.
Whitefish Bay's Class of 2014 earned an average ACT score of 26.7, with 88.5 percent of students taking the test. Last year's senior class not only beat out the rest of the schools in the state, but also beat their predecesors in the Whitefish Bay Class of 2013, which led state public schools with an average ACT score of 26.
Whitefish Bay Superintendent Laura Myrah said the high school's most recent ACT score are in keeping with a long tradition of high test scores in the district.
"To our knowledge, we are the only public school district in Wisconsin that has scored above 25 on the ACT for 16 years in a row," Myrah said. "We attribute that success to our top-notch faculty up through all grade levels, our highly supportive and engaged families, and most obviously to our bright, hard-working students."
Not far behind Whitefish Bay was Homestead High School, where graduated seniors recorded the highest average ACT score in the history of the high school with a score of 26.

Mayoral race gets early start in Glendale
Glendale — It may only be August, but two candidates have already thrown their hats into the ring for the mayoral election in April.
The Glendale Clerk's Office has received declarations of candidacy from Fourth District Alderman Dick Wiese and Bryan Kennedy, who serves on the Glendale-River Hills School Board and the village's Fourth of July Committee.
Glendale has not held a mayoral election since former mayor Jerome Tepper resigned in February to be with his family in Virginia. Since Tepper's resignation, Common Council President JoAnn Shaw has served as acting mayor. The council recently decided to have Shaw continue in that role until April, when Tepper's term would have ended.
If no other candidates submit candidacy papers, Wiese and Kennedy will face off in a mayoral election on April 7. If more candidates enter the race, a primary election will have to be held on Feb. 17 to narrow the field down to two candidates, said Glendale Clerk Susanne Hanaman.
Although Wiese and Kennedy have both submitted their declarations of candidacy, they will not be able to start circulating nomination papers until December. Any candidates who want to appear on the spring 2015 ballot must submit their declaration of candidacy and nomination papers by Jan. 6.» Read Full Article

Fatal shooting in Bayside eyeglass store
Fox Point — One of the men accused of robbing a Bayside optical store last week has been charged in the murder of one of his accomplices, who was shot by a store employee.
Tedric Sanders, 20, of Milwaukee, has been charged with felony murder in the death of 22-year-old Joshua Drake of Milwaukee. Sanders, Drake and three other people were allegedly involved in a deadly armed robbery at Innovative Optique, 333 W. Brown Deer Road, shortly after noon on Thursday, Aug. 14.
According to a criminal complaint, Drake, Sanders and another suspect entered the store wearing masks over their faces, pointing guns at store employees and asking, "Where's the money?" One of the employees, Federico Aguilar, shot at the suspects, killing Drake and injuring Sanders.
While Drake laid motionless on the floor, the other two suspects ran back into the silver Dodge Charger, where a driver and one other person were waiting. The vehicle was then involved in a hit-and-run accident on southbound I-43 before exiting at 11th Street and Highland Avenue to take Sanders to Sinai Samaritan Hospital for gunshot wounds.
If convicted on the felony murder charge, Sanders faces a maximum sentence of 35 years in prison. Felony murder charges can be issued against felony actors or co-actors when someone is murdered during the commission of a felony. Sanders has also been charged with bail jumping related to a recent incident in which Sanders fled from police during a robbery at Tower Optical in Wauwatosa.» Read Full Article
Southbound lanes of I-43 in Glendale reopened after crane crash
Two southbound lanes of Interstate 43 at Green Tree Road in Glendale have reopened after a crash closed them down for almost three hours.
Around 5 p.m., a truck with a crane attachment passed under the bridge, and the crane crashed into it, knocking some debris into the roads.
Two southbound lanes were closed by the crash, while the left "high speed" lane of the I-43 remained open through the night.
Bridge inspectors visited the crash site to help clear the roads, which were reopened around 8 p.m. An inspector from We Energies was also on the scene to inspect a gas pipe that was under the bridge but did not notice any leaking.
No injuries or car damage were reported, according to Fran McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office.» Read Full Article
Bublr bike-share coming to Shorewood
Shorewood — The Bublr bike-share stations that were introduced to downtown Milwaukee last week will eventually make their way up to Shorewood due to a federal grant approval.
Midwest BikeShare, the nonprofit operator of Bublr Bikes, expects to have 10 bike-sharing stations installed in downtown Milwaukee by the end of the month. The program is expected to offer an additional 25 to 35 stations with 200 to 300 bikes next year, eventually expanding to 100 stations with 1,000 bicycles across Milwaukee, Shorewood, West Allis and Wauwatosa in the next three to four years.
Kevin Hardman, the launch director of Bublr Bikes, said he is introducing the bike share program to other nearby suburbs where residents have expressed interest. Customers will be able to rent bikes from automated kiosks for $7 per day or $20 per month and return the bikes to any station.
"All of the places we've touched on are dense communities, so this offers another easy and convenient transportation choice," he said. "If you look at the north end of Oakland Avenue, for example, where parking is at a premium, bike sharing is wonderful because it gives people a choice that didn't exist before."
Shorewood will be home to nine bike share stations as proposed in a $398,607 federal grant that was recently acquired through the state's Department of Transportation. The federal grant covers 80 percent of the cost of the Shorewood stations, while the remaining 20 percent is borne locally.» Read Full Article

CNHI News Service
BEVERLY, Mass. — As one official after another stood up to praise him, Fred Butler was ready with the occasional comment.
"I voted for you," he told Beverly, Mass. Mayor Bill Scanlon.
"I remember when you played football," he said to Beverly High School Principal Sean Gallagher.
At 106, Butler doesn't have to prove anything to anybody. But his bantering showed that even at his age, his mind is sharp enough to merit the honor he was finally given yesterday.
Butler, the city's oldest resident, was presented with an honorary high school diploma in a ceremony in the Beverly High School library.
Sitting in a wheelchair, his winter coat still on over a buttoned-up sweater, Butler appeared to be overcome by emotion when School Committee President Maria Decker handed him his diploma and the audience of about 100 family members, officials and students gave him a standing ovation.
"I thank everybody who is responsible for this," he said. "I certainly appreciate it."
Butler, who was born in 1906, dropped out of school in the ninth grade to work full time in a printing shop to help support his mother and five siblings.
He went on to lead a good life, raising five children with his wife of 65 years, getting drafted into World War II at age 35 and working for the Beverly water department. But family members said he always regretted never earning his diploma.
"It never slowed him down or stopped him, but it prompted him to always send the message to his children and grandchildren of the importance of education," daughter-in-law Cathy Butler said. "The first thing he always asks is, 'How'd you do in school today?'"
His grandson, Mike Calabro, recalled looking forward to the $5 he would get from his grandfather for every A on his report card.
When Fred's wife, Ruth, died last September, family members decided to boost his spirits by pursuing the idea of an honorary diploma. Cathy Butler contacted City Council President Paul Guanci, who got the process under way and served as master of ceremonies.
"We just thought it was time," granddaughter Beth Calabro said. "Let's do it now before it's too late."
Family members described Butler as humble, hardworking and honest. As a seventh- and eighth-grader, he would work at the print shop in the morning and go to school in the afternoon. Guy Calabro, his son-in-law, said Butler dug underground trenches with a shovel in the days before the water department had more advanced equipment.
Beth Calabro recalled the day when Butler cashed his paycheck and realized the teller had given him too much money. He went back into the bank to return the money, prompting the stunned teller to give him a box of chocolates.
"He's a man of faith," Beth Calabro said. "He prayed on his knees until he was no longer able to do so."
"It's a long time to wait for your diploma," Scanlon said, "but you've obviously earned it very well."

Back in May we showed you how D-T-E crews rescued an osprey nest from a power pole in Berlin Township.
Now, several months later those crews were back in Monroe County where they banded a recently hatched osprey chick that was still in its egg when the nest was first moved.
DTE Field Safety Specialist Jason Cousino spearheaded the effort to rescue the birds. "It's great to see the success. We were able to be part of this partnership and help the community, help the landfill and help the osprey watch group." Cousino says the osprey were moved because they were in danger of starting a fire after building their nest atop a power pole.
At one point osprey were almost extinct and gone from southeast Michigan. Now they're making a comeback and efforts like the one in Monroe County are helping to raise awareness.
Cousino says the male bird will bring a female back to the area where he was born and will hopefully keep reproducing in the area.
Holly Vaugh with the DNR says the birds were banded to help track their movements and migration patterns. "We know that they travel down to Central and South America.
Vaughn says the bird taken from the nest was dubbed "Jason Jr." in honor of Cousino and appears to be healthy. He is about two weeks away from being able to fly.
For more information about osprey check out Michigan.gov.

Barrel rings are an everyday essential that can be worn with casual clothing or used as an accent when you wear larger jewelry. This fashion forward silver beauty features sterling silver in vine designs surrounded by two borders of sterling silver twisted rope designs. Simple enough to wear every day-- yet bold enough to make a statement-- the ring measures 3/4" long x 3/4" wide and has a tapered shank for a comfortable fit. Made in America.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Thank you sunder.tinwar for sharing the solution !
Thank you sunder.tinwar for sharing the solution !
Thanks Loukt, should I edit an exiting wiki page with this updated solution and example or should I write a new page.
There is this Wiki Page, I think your solution may fit in it.
Hey guys I hit another issue with same, couple of website are blocking, injected javascript code.
Now blocking code in the sense, blocking accessing to this keyword etc. Still your javascript code will be injected and work.
I need find solution for this as well.
Can you give more details about what you are trying to do and what is failing?
However what Sunder is proposing to do is more specific implementation which I don't think will fit so well: - "got values from html page dynamically." (or re implement behaviour to allow webBrowser.Document.GetElementsByTagName("div"); type semantics)
Sunder, yes, a separate article explaining your tips and tricks with a downloadable example and cross link to the above example would be fantastic. Bonus points for explaining why you can't use some of the solutions proposed here and this approach you're using is best. Extra bonus points if any "generic" information on WebBrowsers control techniques can go into the other article.
My solution will work perfectly if sites have javascript and css in html file only.
A Note about HtmlAgilityPack : The issue appears to be that the NuGet package references the incorrect assembly for WP8.
By default it seems that it references the binary in sl4-windowsphone71, manually removing the reference to the HtmlAgilityPack DLL and referencing the binary in the sl3-wp folder removes the dependency problem.
That is how I have resolved it anyway.
So I guess with new control we can't do much. Developers are helpless now.
Try adding a BASE element to the HTML with the base address of the page.
But why don't you use the eval function to do whatever you want in the page instead?
Could not find any good solution for it?

Rated 4 out of 5Â by EA96 good socks these are thin and work well in the combat shoes, they are a bit slippery but overall work well. 7/14/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by foxxy I love Reebok! they have the best quality shoes and clothes! 7/2/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Rebecca55 Great socks These socks ar wonderful - super comfortable. They're strong enough wear for my workouts, but they are thinner than a lot of athletic socks, and can even be worn with regular shoes. They don't slip around on my feet like other thinner socks sometimes do.. The extra support through the arch provides extra comfort. Haven't had them long, but they seem pretty durable, too, especially for the price I paid. And the colors are fun. 3/27/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by KawiGirl Love these socks! These don't slide down into your sneakers like so many others I have purchased in stores. 5/7/14
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Katesy Not very practical I wanted to use these as workout socks, and I was expecting them to be thicker. They are very thin and slippery, and weren't big enough to completely cover my size-10 feet. They were also fraying at the seams when I first took them out, both on the bottom seam and where it says 'Reebok'. 4/2/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ashleym23 Wonderful pair of socks Love! I recently ran a half marathon and a HUGE blister formed on my foot. All through my training I was getting sore spots and blisters from my socks. Just purchased these and LOVE the feel of them in my shoes. It's like not wearing socks, but no blister! Super light weight! I haven't worn them in the cold just yet, but when it was "cooler" they still kept my feet plenty warm. 11/26/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mart76 Good quality product,bought this for my wife and she love it! 4/18/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kg2112 Love these socks!! I got these socks 6 months ago and they have lasted without any issues, I rotate through the 3 pack thru the week so they are getting washed at least 2 times a week and are still the same as when I got them! They are so comfy and way better then cotton socks! 2/3/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mooseisloose Perfect fit Wife loves them. Socks are comfortable. Eye catching and fit great. 12/29/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JanHS Great sock pairing with Dance UR Lead Mid! A thinner sock that fits nicely with Dance UR Lead Mid. Great color match. Comfortable, breathable and colorfast. 6/21/13

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Designer Great product, I do high intensity interval runs and everything stays in place with this bra. :) 7/22/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BstnSprtn4 Got away with an XS I'm 5'4 and a half, 127lbs (33, 25, 36) and very active. I Crossfit 5 times a week, play multiple and run OCRs. I purchased this bar at a Reebok outlet on sale and they only had size XS left. Usually, I wear a small (33 1/2 cup/chest) but I tried these on and they fit comfortably and didn't constrict me. I love the removable "cookie" cups because it prevents embarrassing chilly moments outside or at the gym. I wished they sold at a lower price because I would buy enough for the week! 4/21/14
Rated 3 out of 5Â by dc132 cute, but small for more function the style of this sportsbra is cute, and the optional cups are thin, but protective enough to prevent any extra headlights (lol). the back strap is rather thin, and offers little to no support, and allows the bra to move around a bit more than comfortable. I usually wear a small, and wish i got this as an x-small to tighten up the support provided! 2/26/14
Rated 3 out of 5Â by saucy Cute but rubs big Really liked this bra top but ii sent it back because it runs really big. 5/5/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by SJSCambridge Cute, flattering This is really cute and flattering. Not enough support for running or anything, but perfect for yoga. It's a little larger than I expected - I'm 5'3" and 135, a 34B/C and the medium is a little looser, but I think it's fine for yoga. Loving all the Tara Stiles/Reebok collab. 2/13/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Eft07 Love this sports bra! So comfortable! Would recommend highly! 3/31/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Violet Super comfy Supportive and comfy. I love it. Also provides cute design/accent when you wear with a tank where the top peeks out. I am 36C and got a Medium - it is a tiny bit large but not so much that it isn't supportive. 1/23/14
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Mindy75 Cute, but runs large. I am a 34C, and the small is big on me. The straps are too long, and not adjustable. It's overall big everywhere. Comfy, but doesn't feel supportive. The design is cute...just order at least one size smaller. 12/26/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JackieT Great sports bra This is a great sports bra. Runs a bit large, if you're between sizes, I'd go down to the smaller one. Has the soft cups, great support, and the thin straps are so much more comfortable than thick ones. Cute! 11/3/13

Republican Senator Mark Kirk's call for federal law enforcers to "crush" Chicago's most violent gangsters won qualified support from Illinois' senior senator. Democrat Dick Durbin said he would join Kirk's push for the FBI and other agencies to do more against street gangs here—but there's a catch.
SEE: Kirk: Time for feds to take down Chicago street gangs
Senator Durbin said congress would resist appropriating the millions of extra tax dollars that might be needed for a broad attack on Chicago's gangs, with their estimated 100,000 members and supporters.
More ATF agents to trace the crime guns of Chicago gangsters; more DEA agents to uncover the sources and shipments of billions of dollars in illegal narcotics sold here each year; more IRS Treasury agents to follow where that money goes, much as they did against Al Capone 80 years ago. That's the vision Senator Mark Kirk spelled out in a one-on-one interview with Fox 32 News Thursday night.
After a joint appearance with him in Lake County Friday, Senator Dick Durbin told FOX 32 it will be hard to find the cash for Kirk's proposal.
"I think it's a good idea, if we can find it," Durbin says. "Remember, this is the part of the budget that's been hit the hardest. This is the non-defense discretionary spending."
Kirk pointed to the killing of honor student Hadiya Pendleton -- allegedly by two young men affiliated with the Gangsters Disciples -- as a reason to target that gang for destruction. It's a tactic Kirk discussed last month in a meeting with Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy.
On Friday, McCarthy said any additional federal resources would be welcome.
"We work with both the FBI, DEA, Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms on case work to take out gangs wholesale," McCarthy said. "We have a number of them that you've seen come to fruition in the recent past. We've a number of them that will be coming to fruition in the near future. I endorse the concept because that's something we've been doing since we got here, this group accountability issue."
McCarthy pointed to his first use of group accountability against the Northwest Side Maniac Latin Disciples, founded in the late 1960s by Albert "Hitler" Hernandez. In 2011, two little girls, 2 and 7 years old, were shot by members of the MLDs. McCarthy ordered police to arrest all known members for even the slightest offenses.

"Hey, that turd you guys have there, it's not the worst turd. There's some hair and some bugs in there to make it seem bigger, but it really isn't that big of a turd. Plus turds in the past were less likely to be as big as today's turds because of different food. So your turd isn't the worst turd ever."
Much building to do for next season, and hopefully the injured will all be healthy. Let's see; on the DL, we lost Price, Claiborne, and Okoye early-on. And Bowers was extremly limited all season. With very little gametime for us recorded by Talib, Wright, and Gaitor, arguably our best 3 CBs, it's amazing we weren't much worse in pass D. Been sayin' for a while if we come up with a stud DT next season and get Claiborne and Bowers totally healthy, our whole defense should get worlds better. And on offense, remember Nicks was NOT healthy even when he played early-on; he was never his dominant self... On the positive side this year is the number of young FAs, like Leonard Johnson, who got significant PT and show promise for the future. This was very much a learning year for everyone, including the HC. I expect us to have another great draft and FA period next year!

Quote from: tbc_bucs on January 21, 2013, 10:32:40 PMYeah yeah yeah, you lost Tim.So, if they ran the football... Do we still win? I think so.Well, they probably don't throw five interceptions if they run the ball. The game's certainly closer.
Yeah yeah yeah, you lost Tim.So, if they ran the football... Do we still win? I think so.
who cares if they were 340lbs on average and we were 280 lbs on averagewe saw that pretty much every week and shut down the run regardless of the teamwarren sapp isn't going to the hall of fame because he could only perform against small offensive lineman, he's going to the hall of game because he could beat a double team of offensive linemen that had 50 lbs on him
FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
You don't win a Super Bowl 48-21 without being the superior team.
Illuminator is a good poster. He sticks to his guns and makes good points. Some don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t like that.
i.m.o. the real superbowl was when we beat philly they were better than the raiders
