From the Otsego Herald
for Saturday, Feb. 13, 1813
Compiled, with comments
by HUGH C. MacDOUGALL
The Epidemic
It appears by the late reports of the Albany Board of Health, that the prevailing epidemic in that city has in some degree subsided. The joint committee of the senate and assembly, appointed to consider on the propriety of a short adjournment of the legislature on account of the prevailing sickness, reported on Thursday last against an adjournment, and their report was accepted. – Utica Gazette.
COMMENT: As reported last week, an epidemic of "spotted fever" swept through the northeast in 1813-14, spreading largely from troop concentrations. The death toll was high, even in Cooperstown.
Smuggler caught
Burlington, Vt., Jan. 21. On Tuesday last, was brought into camp a Mr. Sears of Williston; he was taken on Hog Island, on his way to the enemy, with a load of provisions. We understand that he was arrested by a lieutenant, a sergeant of the U.S. Army, and a citizen who volunteered his service, Sears is a giant in strength and fought until he was overpowered. Those who took him, are severely wounded, and are now confined to their rooms.
COMMENT: It is said that the British Army in Canada, especially those quartered across the borders with New York and Vermont, received most of their provisions from smugglers acting across the U.S./Canada border. Hog Island is on Lake Champlain.
Rescue from Algerine pirates
Extract of a letter from a young gentleman of Philadelphia to his father, dated Cadiz [Spain], October 21, 1812.
Dear Father, I … give you particulars of my escape from our new enemy the Algerines. I sailed from Lisbon, bound to this port; and being three days out…was captured by the Algerine squadron … After taking possession of the brig, they commenced plundering the passengers and treating us in a most brutal manner …

So i set a goal for myself, which i wont get if i keep messing with my leg, but if i heal up, keep eating and getting bigger, i want to have a 2000 total before or when i turn 21.
Not sure how many lifters have done this, but i say its somewhat in my reach.
Right now im good for at least 1400 RAW, figure after i get equipment and get used to it ill be good for 1700 in a year or so.
What do you all think, is this farfetched? or i keep my head on it, like it already is, do i have a chance?

lets hope chris, i want to kill next years USPF meet so bad, like everyone, men included, lol.

I honestly thik you can do that raw...
Being a strong teenager means nothing.
My wrists hurt, but some people don't have wrists to be sore. My knees have tendinitis, but some people don't have legs to get tendinitis in. I seem to be going backwards with training, yet some people can't even walk let alone lift 400 pounds on a daily basis.
Dust out the vagina, and keep on lifting.
Stumpster... you know I believe in ya... I think you will need to do it at a much higher BW though. Say in the 242s or even 275s... I think you are going to need an additional 30-40 of lbm to get that extra 250-300 on your squat, another 100-150 on your BP and another 200-250 on your DL... for RAW...
If you go equipped, I think you are going to need another 15-25 of lbm to get your RAW lifts up another 250 lbs total... and then the other 350lbs in total will be technique learning the squat and BP.. I don't think equipment is going to get you much in DL..
so what's your choice?
Here's a "kid" to look at who did it equipped.. and then Raw at 21... Scott Weech:
Or there was a freak coming up a few years ago.. but I think he quit PL'ing about a year ago and went into MMA or BB'ing.. Eddie Debus: The best raw I could find for him was:
Eddie Debus - NY Teen (18-19) 242s - 510, 435, 660 = 1605 (100% Raw)
Or take a look at the RAW AAU Records for different Teen Groups:
Boys Teenage and Youth Raw American
Even the AAU SuperHWs 18-19 Total is breakable for you:
And the equipped ones: (not much more really)
Boys Teenage and Youth Equiped American TEEN 18 TO 19 242 TOTAL D. REXROAD 08/1996 1570.00
Boys Teenage and Youth Equiped American TEEN 18 TO 19 275 TOTAL H. THOMASON 06/1999 1658.00
thanks for that info bob, im suprised im pretty close to all of those national levels RAW, i agree ill need more muscle but im working on that, as i eat everything in site haha. 40-50 more lbs of LBM could take a good 2 years. your right equipment doesnt help that much in DL, maybe 20 lbs? but hey ill take it, i dont plan on putting on gear until the fall or so.
Scott is a beast, he will be number one very soon.
not sure if i could be a healthy 260-270 lbs at my height.
2000 or bust
At 5'8" Vincent is 324, and healthy as a race horse. If you want to be great at anything, you have to make sacrifices. If you're in this sport to be healthy, you should choose again. Anyone who has something to say about that, doesn't know what it means to be great or have the desire to be great. IMO, stop worrying about numbers and just lift. The numbers will come. GFH

rhodes - what im saying is i dont want to develop high blood pressure and the chance of a heart attack, id love to be 275 dude, i have the desire to be great, im very proud of how far ive came in less then 2 years with 1 year being 80 lbs of fat loss.
2000 or bust
NP Stumpster... take a look at the ADAU Nationals held last weekend...
You could have taken a lot of weight and age classes there...
I don't agree with Rhodes on the health issue... I think there are a lot of "healthy" PL'ers... that don't have high BP and/or risk heart problems... and not everybody has the genetics to carry >300 lbs like Vin...
However I do agree a lot with Rhodes on the weights.. keep lifting heavy, keep eating right, keep getting your required rest, keep the fire, learn from the best (like Southside), compete more, get better technique, etc... and be the best you can be. PRs and records will fall..
sounds good bob, except for eating right, not sure if a chicken teriaki stir fry roll up and fries is good, lol. although my breakfast of oatmeal with milk blueberrys and bananas was good!
rest wise i average from 5-9 hours of sleep a night and naps during the day if i can.

Eddie Debus used to train with us. He was a beast. I think he turned to the Darkside and started fighting. Always was a hot head.

We all do this for different reasons. All I can say is, how bad do you want it? What are YOU willing to do to achieve your goals? Whether it be gaining weight, losing weight, using drugs, and the list goes on. Whatever your choice is, that's cool. But, the question still remains, what are YOU willing to do to achieve your goals? If you don't reach your 2000 total, how upset will you be? Will you regret it if you don't? I NEVER said, go out and get high blood pressure or be unhealthy ALL the time. Sometimes, goals are more important to the individual than health is. I personally, would really be disgusted and embarrassed of myself if I sat and worried about my health instead of trying to get a 1000 lb squat. If my health ever becomes an issue, I'll deal with it at that time. I won't spend my life making excuses as to why I never went after 1000. If I did waste my time worrying, I'd suck, just like everyone who makes those excuses.
And whoever made the genetics comment about Vincent - he was 180lbs when he started lifting weights. Nothing genetically freaky about a 180lb high scholl kid. This is another tangent, but don't cry about genetics. If you saw me, you'd never think I was as strong as I am. What's my point? I chose to make sacrifices to achieve my goals. If you "have it" you'll understand this. If you don't, it'll never make any sense and you'll probably have some negative comments for me.
How important is it to reach your goals? What are you willing to do? The answer is different for everyone. Whatever your answer is, is the right answer for you.
180 at 5'8 is a decent size for a high schooler... considering most of the guys are either really skinny and there are those that are just plain fat...
i was 5'11 and 160 lbs senior year...
A guy that used to lift was us got an 1840 @208... I believe he was 23. It's certainly possible for you stump... A good squat suit and tight bench shirt and you'll be knocking the door down.

It can happen. Train hard and rest A LOT!
Equipped right now I'd say you are good for 1,600lbs no problem. A 400lb increase on your total in 4 years for you I'd say is doable. I'm thinking 800, 550, 650 in gear at 220-242. If anyone can do it, you can. You are one of the most naturally freaky strong people I e-know.

University of Greenwich named UK's 'greenest university ever' 30.05.12
With a record 145 universities participating in this year's People & Planet Green League ranking and 46 receiving First Class degrees, it is clear student campaigning to green the UK higher education sector is making serious inroads. Source: People & Planet
First time winner University of Greenwich pipped previous winners Nottingham Trent, Gloucestershire and Plymouth to the post, and was joined in the top 5 by new entrant University of Brighton (up 18 places).
Nationally, we've seen huge progress in all key indicators measuring universities 'transition' to a low-carbon, sustainable future including:
Sector-wide carbon emissions down 4% on last year
Double the number of universities integrating sustainability across their curricula
86% rise in universities employing at least 1 sustainability staff member
On average universities are sourcing 72% of their electricity from renewables compared to 63% last year
This, despite central government's failure to live up to promises of being the "greenest government ever" or respond to student demands for a greener education sector
Louise Hazan, who compiles the People & Planet Green League annually, said
""Now is the time for stronger leadership from Government to help build on the commendable efforts of our greenest universities and encourage those further down the Green League table, and in other industries, to turn over a new green leaf too."
Students demand greener degrees
Across the country, students are both excited and disappointed by the results, with numerous groups planning actions to highlight progress or failure at their institutions.
Encouragingly, the number of universities scoring full marks for exemplary Staff & Student Engagement has risen 53%. This reflects a broad acceptance within the sector of the need to listen to the 70% of students who want sustainability integrated into their degree courses (according to a new NUS/HEA study out soon).
Neil Garrod, Deputy Vice Chancellor at the winning University of Greenwich, concurs:
"We could never have come so far so quickly without the involvement and commitment of the whole university community".
Willingness to engage with the student (and staff) body on sustainability issues has been key to Greenwich and many other First Class universities' success. Something which Sarah Norris of York People & Planet laments at York University:
"We have no full-time member of staff dedicated to and experienced in issues of the environment or sustainability to coordinate efforts to improve our campus impact on our surroundings. Staff and student concerns about sustainability therefore go unheard by uncommunicative University management. There is no sense of an urgent problem, when students and teaching staff see that there quite clearly is one."
Carbon emissions starting to fall
For the first time, we've seen a 4% reduction in carbon emissions since last year across participating universities. Winner Greenwich has reduced its carbon footprint by 22% since 2005, an impressive achievement that's been aided by bold investment in carbon reduction projects which are estimated to save the university well over £3million by 2016.
This year's People & Planet Green League shows that universities get it: going greener saves money, cuts carbon and provides students with better employability prospects in a future green economy. Worryingly, it seems like our supposed Greenest Government Ever still has much to learn about greening either the education sector or our wider economy.

Byron figures these companies are afraid to compete with a MySQL backed by Oracle's marketing muscle, so they've enlisted the EU as an ally. "The whiners know that it's just that Maria is 30 years behind Oracle's relational database research and development. In theory, Maria could catch up if the EU tilts the playing field enough," he writes.
Feisty guy that he is, Byron has been arguing that Oracle should tell the EU to, well, stuff it, and walk away from Europe. Given the reality that Oracle's European revenues are about $8 billion, and that the Sun acquisition would add just another $2 billion or so, that's not going to happen. It's much more likely that Oracle will surrender or, less likely, back out of the deal entirely if Sun keeps hemorrhaging key people. And that would be a terrible outcome for Sun's employees and the IT industry, which has gained so much from Sun's technological prowess.
What Europe is really after
The EU action highlights yet again the complex political world that shapes the global technology business, and Europe's own agenda in these politics is to keep American companies from competely dominating Europe's companies and markets.
The European Commission issued a fine of $1.44 billion to Intel this year after finding the company guilty of antitrust violations, an action that has been criticized by the commission's own ombudsman. In rare cases, Europe has also blocked mergers between American companies. In 2001, for example, Europe prevented a merger between General Electric and Honeywell even after American regulators had given the deal a green light. (The United States has also approved Oracle's Sun purchase.)
On the other hand, the EU has tried to help the vibrant European open source community by encouraging government agencies to adopt open source software in place of Microsoft's Windows and Office. And that may explain the stance of Richard Stallman, the outspoken advocate of "free" software, who supports the EU's position: "If Oracle is allowed to acquire MySQL, it will predictably limit the development of the functionality and performance of the MySQL software platform, leading to profound harm to those who use MySQL software to power applications," Stallman said in a letter to the EU.
I simply don't buy that argument. Open source MySQL is simply too strong to be killed, even if Oracle were foolish enough to move in that direction. Mulesource CEO Greg Schott put it very well: "The EU's fears are misplaced. The massive MySQL community is, by the very nature of open source, a multiheaded hydra. If Oracle cuts off a head, two will grow back. Try to kill the beast entirely, and the NotLarry'sSQL fork will appear."
I welcome your comments, tips, and suggestions. Contact me at email@example.com.
This story, "Europe's dishonest squeeze play on Oracle over MySQL," was originally published at InfoWorld.com. Follow Bill Snyder's Tech's Bottom Line blog at InfoWorld.com.
Correction: An earlier version of this column stated that Florian Mueller is directly associated with the Maria open source venture. Mr Mueller informs me that he is not.

Jimmy Graham caught seven passes for a career-best 146 yards and two touchdowns, cornerback Jabari Greer made a diving, touchdown-saving pass breakup on a late fourth-down play, and the New Orleans Saints held on to hand the Atlanta Falcons their first loss, 31-27 on Sunday.
Graham and his Atlanta counterpart, veteran tight end Tony Gonzalez, both were superb in a game that showcased all the intensity and drama of one of the NFL's most passionate and longstanding rivalries
Gonzalez finished with 11 catches for 122 yards and two scores for Atlanta (8-1), and in the process became the first tight end to catch 100 touchdown passes.
Brees threw for 298 yards and three TDs as the Saints (4-5) won for the fourth time in five games, keeping alive hope of getting back into the wild card race after an 0-4 start.

After a two week layoff since their last live game action, the #24 Louisiana College Lady Wildcats dropped their first game of the 2012-2013 season, losing a 97-94 decision to Ferrum College on Friday afternoon in Montgomery, Alabama.
The Virginia based school seemed to solve the mystery of LC's defense, as they allowed the Lady Wildcats to come up with only 11 steals while shooting 52.4% (33-63) from the floor.
Despite a nice performance offensively that saw four players score in double figures and draining 13 three-pointers, the Lady Wildcats were out rebounded 54-37, including a 37-24 margin on the defensive glass.
Ferrum, who moves to 7-0 on the season, was led by Jacole Hairston with 23 points and 7 rebounds.
Natosha Gottlieb once again led LC with 17 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals.
LC, now 8-1 on the season, will have a short layover before they take the court on Saturday at 11 a.m. for a matchup against Transylvania University (Ky.) before coming back home on January 3 for an ASC matchup against Texas Lutheran.

A faulty power cord is being blamed as the cause of a fatal house fire in Cole Harbour early Monday morning.
A 67-year-old man was taken out of the burning bungalow at 47 Nestor Crescent, but he was later pronounced dead at the scene.
"The guys did life-saving efforts, but we weren't able to revive him," said Mike Blackburn, divisional commander of the Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency Service.
Halifax RCMP issued a news release just before 2 p.m. identifying the victim as James Bamwoya, 67. His death is not believed to be suspicious.
Blackburn said 14 firefighters responded to a report of a fire on Nestor Crescent at 6:36 a.m. They arrived to find fire on the main floor of the single-family home and a male victim inside.
It is believed he was only person in the home at the time of the blaze.
At 4:30 p.m., Blackburn said investigators determined the fire had started because of a faulty electrical cord connected to a light.
"The point of origin was in the living room."
From the outside, the tidy, white-sided house didn't appear to be extensively damaged. A picture window had been smashed and soot marked a trail from the window to the eaves.
Mary Kelly, who lives two houses away, was unaware of the fire until her neighbour, Betty Simmons, called and woke her before 7 a.m.
"She got up to get ready to go to work and she looked out to see what the weather was like. She saw flames so she ran over, she banged and banged and just yelled, 'Fire! Get out!'"
Simmons told Kelly she didn't see anyone moving in the house, so she ran back to her own house to call 911.
"They told her not to go in (the burning house)," Kelly said. "They came right away."
At this point, Kelly went to investigate and saw flames in the kitchen window and a bunch of smoke. She later saw emergency crews take the victim out of the house.
"They tried and tried (to revive him) ... for about 10-15 minutes."
Kelly described her neighbour as a quiet man. She thought he moved in a couple of years ago and was living with an adult son.
"He's a very quiet guy, he kept to himself."
Kelly said Simmons told her she feels very bad about what happened.
"She said, 'If I could have done something…'"

MIAMI (AP) -- Heat guard Dwyane Wade did not start the second half of Miami's game against New Jersey on Tuesday night after turning his right ankle.
The Heat say Wade's return is questionable. Miami led 64-37 at halftime, with Wade scoring 13 points on 6 for 8 shooting. Wade turned the ankle late in the half, shaking off assistance from a nearby trainer.
Wade missed six games earlier this season with a sprained right ankle.

Jets CB Darrelle Revis, who skipped a voluntary OTA session last week, said he will attend the team's mandatory minicamp June 14-16.
Revis is seeking a new contract and was unhappy with the Jets' initial offer. He reportedly hinted at "changes" if there is no progress in negotiations and could hold out during training camp if there is no new deal in place.
"You'll know. It's not going to be hidden," Revis said, per a New York Daily News report. "This is the time where I need to look at what I did here for three years. If things are not the right way, I need to sit back and view my career and see where I need to go from here and move on."
Revis wants to become the highest-paid corner in the league.
C Nick Mangold, who also wants a new contract, said he doesn't know if he'll be attending the mandatory minicamp.

I was ready to write a bad review the first night, the corners did not come out all the way and the woven top shifted, but after a few nights on it I got used to it and it is very comfortable. if you buy this expecting a $1500 tempurpedic style mattress, you will be disappointed. For the price, this is excellent though, the dense lower layers do not allow you to sink all the way down. My Girlfriend and I are both large people and we have no issues with the foam sinking too far. it's about a medium on the plush level, the quilted top does balance out the heat from the foam (many people complain that memory foam is too warm) yes, once you've been laying there for a while it keeps your body heat, but no so much that it's annoying in the summer on a hot night. All in all, I hoped for more when I read the description, but to be honest, it's worth every penny I paid for it.
I had the opportunity to try this mattress out for 2 nights at my cousins before I bought it. Prior to sleeping on this mattress I was experiencing horrible pain in my leg from sciatica. After 2 nights at my cousins on this bed the second morning I did not need to take any pain medication. The day I returned from her house I got online and ordered this mattress. I have been waking up refreshed and not having any aches or pains in my body since. Actually after a day of work I may still be having some pain and I can't wait to get home to lay on my bed because it will make the pain go away!! Thank you for selling this mattress on your website!!
Mattress very comfortable. We bought this for our son after my husband and I purchased ours nearly a year ago. Ours is very comfortable and I no longer toss and turn in bed. I was worried about it being to firm as I like mattresses on the soft side but it is just perfect. Also, If my husband moves around or gets out of bed, I cannot feel it in the mattress at all. It's great!
Beware of this brand/model, as there is no firmness descriptor to tell you it is unusually Extremely FIRM. I have purchased 5 of these memory foam mattresses over the last 4 years, changing out the standard mattresses throughout the house. This brand/model of mattress is harder and has less memory foam FEEL, then all of my other mattresses. If there was a descriptor of the extreme firmness for this model, I would not have purchased. When returning these mattresses, Overstock will require you to go out and purchase materials to wrap and secure the mattress, as well as pay for the shipping fees ($$$). I do not recommend this product, and advise this may cost you a 15% fee for returning to overstock.
i must have looked over all the reviews for this mattress about 5 times before finnaly deciding to buy it. i had a twin memory foam mattress and needed to buy a larger one that was a little firmer because by the time morning came my rearend was touching the boxspring. so i got the queen size mattress and i couldent be happier with my choice. the quilted topper is removable to be washed which i seen in one of the other reviews there seemed to be some confusion over this topic. the quilted cover fits tightly and i have no issues with the cover moving around when sleeping on it like one of the reviews said. the queen size mattress came in a fairly large box and weighed 97 pounds. i felt so sorry for the little ups guy who delivered it, then i felt sorry for myself trying to drag it into the house. it was very tightly packaged, not only was it shrink wraped in durable plastic but it also had a very strong cloth wrapping which i had to use sissors to cut it carefully. the mattress plumped up pretty quick and i also noticed in one of the reviews someone had issues with the corners not popping out, i did not have this complication. the corners expanded just fine. the mattress is deffenetly firmer than what im used too. like i said my previous one was so soft my rearend sank to the bottom. this bed is firm but this is because the foam is dense. when you lay on it the mattress it will feel a little hard at first but after a few moments the softer foam on the top starts to give in and cnforms to ur body while the dense foam under it supports ur weight and holds you up. the only problem i can say i have with this mattress even though it really isint any fault of the factory is the slight smell the mattress has. however this smell IS normal and goes away after a few days to a week or two depending on how well you let the mattress air out. so i cant really complain about the smell because its just what happens when you buy a memory foam mattress.
Bought this for my childs first apartment. Lives alone in the city and has a small bedroom upstairs. Fits the room nicely and she loves it. Was easy to bring up the stairs and set it up. Perfect item for the situation.
I had been in the market for a memory foam mattress for a while, on a somewhat conservative budget. I had checked multiple stores and sites with spring mattresses starting at $600+ and memory foam closer to $800. This one was $*** which beat out stores by far and was one of the least expensive on the internet as well. Initially I had searched for a 12", but settled with this one which is 10" deep, but I've found it is still very comfortable. It took a day to air out the new foam smell (and I probably would have given it another if I didn't need to sleep on it) but that's to be expected. I've had much better rest with this mattress and my neck pain is gone since using it, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in memory foam, since the price is unbeatable, and it's very comfortable!
My first memory foam mattress for my apartment in Manhattan NYC and everybody loves it! I sleep like a baby when I stay there and all my friends love it too when they visit. Definitely worth whatever I paid for it!
Have had the mattress for 3 nights have have had the best sleep in years. No tossing and turning most of the night like on the old bed. When I opened the package there was a mild smell that was gone in about 15 minutes. The price was excellent and the comfort was as good as the big name brands without having to take out a mortgage to get a nice mattress.
I purchased the twin memory foam mattresses about 6 months ago for my day bed. When replacing my queen guest room bed, I was careful to go with the "same style." I like firm but the twins are near medium firm and that was what I wanted. We slept on the this queen last night and it is TOOOO firm. Almost board-like. This is for the guest room because we have a much better bed in our room purchased from a company who is out of business now. Hopefully it won't be as bad the backs of our guests as it was mine today.

Think what it would be like if all of a sudden we had no jazz clubs to attend, no hard rock music venues, no opera to listen to. And, how dreary it would be if we had no world renown St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, no summer musicals at the Muny Opera, no student choirs or student bands. Just imagine no art museum; no outdoor or indoor sculpture such as we have at Laumeier Park and City Garden; no theater; and in essence no entertainment. Oh, how grim and unhappy life would be!
A major part of our everyday encounters would disappear, the components that make us alive, excited, and truly engaged. For throughout history artistic endeavors exemplify the best of human expression.
A significant aspect of training artists, musicians, singers, and dancers depends on the continual funding of the arts where youngsters get their training and become the stream for future artistic expression. I fear that budgets across the region will experience major cuts this coming year, and so often the very first casualties are the arts. The long term effects could be the lack of arts training, and the eventual loss of artistic expression.
So as our schools and our cultural institutions, along with the legislature, examine their budgets this coming year, let us voice our concerns that the arts funding remain robust as it is through the arts that we define ourselves. Let this be a holiday season of gifts for all the arts in our St. Louis region. Happy holidays and may everyone enjoy one of our many cultural programs available to all this season.

With the 60th pick in SB Nation's 2012 NFL mock draft, the Baltimore Ravens select Utah State LB Bobby Wagner.
If you're a linebacker, and you're picked by the Ravens, consider yourself lucky. It seems they hit on every linebacker in the draft, so I'll defer to GM Ozzie Newsome, one of the best GMs in the business.
SB Nation's Baltimore Beatdown explains the pick:
The knock on Utah State's Bobby Wagner is is smallish height (6'0, 241 pounds), but his body of work on the field speaks for itself. He is a four-year starter, two-year captain and three-time All-WAC Conference selection. A 40-yard dash in the 4.4-4.5 range with a 39.5" vertical leap proves this guy plays bigger than he actually measures. Any doubt whether he could play with the boys in the bigger conferences was dispelled when he was named the defensive Most Outstanding Player of the North team in the 2012 Senior Bowl with seven tackles, one for loss and an interception. Other than a bout with pneumonia, which caused him to miss the Combine, Wagner has been injury-free in his collegiate career. The Ravens have been watching him closely, going to his pro day as well as bringing him to Baltimore for further review. With the loss of OLB Jarret Johnson to free agency and ILB Ray Lewis not getting any younger, this guy looks to be a fixture on the Ravens great defense for years to come.
For more analysis of the pick, visit Mocking The Draft. SB Nation's 49ers blog, Niners Nation, is on the clock with the 61st pick.

"I get a lot of hugs," said Alice Koester.
Alice Koester began volunteering at Hillcrest Home in Sumner back in 1969.
"She is the epitome of a volunteer. She cares about people. She truly loves doing this," said Hillcrest Home Administrator Junever Heying.
Alice's husband was actually one of the original Hillcrest Home board members, but it was a former activity coordinator who asked Alice to start volunteering.
"She asked me would I be interested in doing the shopping cart because the gal that did it was going to do babysitting, and so I said yes," said Koester.
More than 40 years later, Alice still takes the shopping cart from room to room for residents to buy snacks. She also helps out with BINGO and reads to the residents.
"I just look forward to seeing these people," said Koester.
At age 94, Alice is the oldest and the longest active volunteer at Hillcrest Home.
"Alice is very fortunate in her age to be able to give back, and I think it's a wonderful example for all of us, including her children and anyone else in the community to give back to someone. It doesn't take a lot of money or time. It just takes a lot of heart, and Alice has that," said Junever Heying.
Alice Koester makes a point of getting to know the residents as she pushes her shopping cart around, often taking a break to visit. The great-grandmother said it's the people, both the staff and the residents, who keep her coming back.
"They are super bunch of people," she said.
Alice and her husband had three children. She has five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

Alright, that's this game done. Barcelona lead 3-1 after a rather lucky goal from Andres Iniesta. The hosts broke up the length of the pitch and Lionel Messi attempts a long-range effort that probably wasn't going anywhere, only for Phillippe Mexes to inadvertently deflect the ball into Iniesta's path, leaving the midfielder free on goal.
Lionel Messi had missed wide from a similar position with the score at 0-0, but Iniesta wasn't about to make the same mistake, lifting the ball coolly over an onrushing Christian Abbiati to give Barcelona a two-goal cushion. Milan need to score twice in the final 35 minutes in order to advance, which seems not very likely at all. So that's Barcelona to the semifinals, in all probability, where they will face one of Benfica and Chelsea.
We'll have live coverage throughout the game in our UEFA Champions League Tuesday StoryStream. For more on the two teams, head over to Barcelona FC blog Barca Blaugranes and The AC Milan Offside.

WAUNAKEE, Wis. (WKOW) -- The Stoughton co-op girls hockey team fought hard to get a piece of the Badger Conference title, but the Sun Prairie co-op came away with the overtime win, 2-1 on Tuesday night.
The Cap City Cougars (Sun Prairie) led 1-0 until the second period, when Stoughton's Shanda Roeming fought her way through the defense to score and tie the game at 1.
The Cougars had plenty of scoring chances, but Stoughton's Kenzie Torpy made a few brilliants saves to keep it tied through three periods.
In overtime, Lily Klapper scored the game-winner for Sun Prairie, who won 2-1.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Rashad Jennings left Sunday's game against Minnesota with a knee injury, but head coach Mike Mularkey does not believe the injury is serious. Jennings' status for Week 2 is uncertain at this point.
Related: Mike Mularkey Happy With MJD's Performance
Jennings, who tried to play through the injury, finished his day with eight carries for 31 yards. He started in place of Maurice Jones-Drew, who missed most of the preseason while holding out for a new contract. But if Jennings is forced to miss time because of this injury, Jones-Drew could be back in the feature back role more quickly than anticipated, as SB Nation Fantasy notes.
Jones-Drew finished Sunday's game with 19 carries for 77 yards. The Jaguars fell in overtime to the Vikings, 26-23.

Steelers backup NT Chris Hoke sprained the MCL in his right knee in Sunday's 38-13 victory over the Buccaneers. He will miss at least two weeks.
Hoke sprained the knee in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. The backup to Casey Hampton, Hoke has 45 career tackles, two sacks and a fumble recovery.
The Steelers are 16-3 (counting playoffs) when Hoke starts in place of Hampton at nose tackle.
The way we see it
The only other D-linemen on the roster other than the starters are Nick Eason and Ziggy Hood, and both are listed as ends. The Steelers may have to make a roster move to provide depth behind Hampton, who already missed a game this season with a hamstring injury.

Was the Wallace hit really late-- this still pic shows alot and this is why he wasn't flagged on the field. Sure it was a nasty hit but late-- I have seen alot of folks say it was late and I argued it with one of my Panther friends until I found this picture of the hit and clearly Simms is wrapped while he still has the ball. Now he did drive him into the ground but I am not so sure that was avodiable since Simms jumped on the play to try and get the ball out and over him. Wallace has his face mask buried in Simm's chest and I doubt he could even know if the ball was released or not. From this pic as painful as it was i had to admit I dont think it was late from this picture.
He used excessive force to throw him into the ground. That's why he was fined and why it should've have been a flag.
I dunno man. It is football, the guy is trained to destroy them, and he gets fined for playing like a wildman, something the Bucs need more of. I like Simms, but Wallace was in the moment, and hard to control that kind of play. I am sure Wallace wasn't thinking much of anything except punish the QB, which is what it is all about...
I'm with ya but it's a rule. Very, very subjective but's it's a rule........
So do you agree with the fine?I don't. It seems steep. And I think the refs should be fined a small sum of their gamecheck when they miss calls like this DURING THE GAME. I mean Wallace apologized, fwiw (which isn't much), and I think he should have been fined maybe half of that, at best. But the refs should have been fined as well. It will definitely keep them 'hyper-alert' come game time. Lately, the officiating has been par, which is not saying much when you are plus 20 week to week.

Is it ok to have technical debt?
Technical debt and design debt are synonymous, neologistic metaphors referring to the eventual consequences of slapdash software architecture and hasty software development. Code debt refers to technical debt within a codebase.
[From Wikipedia]
If you're doing something that you know that will return to bite you in the ass someday than you're probably in the "technical debt" department. It can be anything it might mean that no unit tests were written for a feature or that no upfront design was made before coding – depending on the team and project. In fact technical debt is all around us - from missing stages in the CI (Continuous integration) process to quick and dirty coding and missing features.
Avoiding technical debt is close to impossible - unless you are a true craftsman, have a patient and understanding boss (and no deadlines) you might be creating debt as you go along.
But it's not all bad – because unlike actual debt you might not have to pay interest - some of the time it might actually go away, requirements change or additional code is written and from time to time problem just go away. You might find out that something that was nearly impossible yesterday become easy today just because you've learned something new.
I've learnt to treat technical debt just like any other known risk - it should be treated and managed - ask yourself what the worse that could happen – will I pay more on a less favorable time (e.c. deadline) and how much time would it take - and decide if it's worth not doing it right now.
Having said that – there is a catch, it's way too easy to use technical debt as an excuse. From time to time I get to hear a fellow developer say something such as: "I won't be doing X because it would take too long and we're already behind schedule". The problem with that statement is that I usually have the feeling that he did not think about the consequences of not doing what might be done – because sometime it's easier not think about tomorrow. The solution is simple – just ask him: "what would happen if you don't do it" – and then listen – because he might convince you that creating debt at this place and time is ok.
From time to time you might even convince him that he should do what he's avoiding right now – and by doing so you'll make your team better.
Happy coding

I recently wrote myself about technical debt in http://softwaredev2k.com/2011/10/technical-debt-types-and-what-to-do-about-them/ if anyone wants to read more about various types of technical debt...
An interesting subcase on when technical debt might not be too bad is when you do not have to pay it yourself. A number of large european organizations/institutions split large software projects into separate procurements. So it is entirely possible for your company to do the design and analysis, another one to do the construction and yet a third one to get the helpdesk and maintenance. This also depends on what type of company you are employed (http://softwaredev2k.com/2011/10/product-oriented-or-services-oriented-company/).
So in such a scenario, technical debt by the first company will have to be resolved by the second one or occasionally as you say that debt might removed by questioning some of the analysis, or as the construction progresses some features become obsolete and unnecessary (so any incomplete analysis, gaps in the documents etc. that would constitute technical debt are also obsolete). In a similar way technical debt from the second company might pass on to the third one.
There is of course the job ethics point of view (as in how ethical is it to pass on your problems to the next guy?) but I will leave that aside.

Arizona is offering a mental health first aid program in wake of the Newtown, Conn. shootings.
"It helps people identify those early signs and symptoms," said Cory Nelson with the Arizona Department of Health Services. "It really is a focus on getting those individuals that have first contact with somebody that may be experiencing a mental health emergency -- or the early signs -- and then it helps them to decide what to do in that situation."
Nelson said awareness of mental health issues is very important and should be treated like any other medical condition.
The 12-hour course is available to anyone.
Nelson said more than 1,500 people across Arizona have taken the course.

— Children? What children? There's money at stake here, not to mention political power. The children can wait. Their parents can find something else for them to do.
The Chicago Teachers Union, which was out on strike as this was written, has its priorities, after all - it is now the self-anointed point of the spear in the grand and glorious struggle for "downtrodden" working people - and those priorities have nothing to do with what is best for students.
Oh, the kids get mentioned in passing every now and then, to lay a guilt trip on anyone who resists their insatiable demands, but this is all about adults who are among the most self-absorbed in the nation. It is all about their hurt feelings, their wallets that are never fat enough, and the preservation of job security provisions that make it impossible to fire anyone who isn't a convicted child predator.
They insist they are victims of ruthless political leaders who are little better than the robber barons of previous generations.
Which is a bit ironic, since the ruthless leader in this case is not a fascist Republican, but rather Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, former chief of staff to President Obama, both Democrats who owe their electoral success to the backing of big labor.
Obama, needing to maintain the pretense that he is not labor's poodle, is relatively silent on the conflict. And the union, knowing that the alternative to Obama would be worse for them, is giving him a pass.
But nobody else gets a pass.
"You have a situation where the teachers feel totally and completely disrespected,'' said Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, the parent union of the CTU.
Which would make any objective observer wonder if she is visiting from another planet. To borrow a phrase from former President Bill Clinton, "it takes a lot of brass" for the teachers unions to play the victim. The CTU, and public unions everywhere, get vastly more respect than the hard-pressed taxpayers who get stuck with the bill for the lavish salaries, work rules, pensions, and other benefits in union contracts.
Weingarten's wailing about the damage to teachers' self esteem reminds me of a teachers union president in a small city who, after my newspaper had editorialized that his contract demands were not affordable for his community, marched into an editorial board meeting and opened with, "We know you hate teachers' unions."
To which the only logical response would have been, "We know you hate taxpayers."
Both claims are absurd.
As has been reported by numerous news outlets - although most are not part of the mainstream media - this is what the CTU considers completely disrespectful:
- The average Chicago teacher who retires after just 30 years of employment has a final salary of $105,888 and will receive an annual pension of $78,576. That puts that teacher in the top 5 percent of all workers nationwide.
- The average salary of a Chicago teacher is $74,839, while the income of the average household in Chicago is $47,000.
- Chicago public schools have among the shortest school day in the country: 5 hours, 45 minutes.
- The union opened the current stalled contract negotiations with a demand for a 30 percent salary increase over four years, and then dialed that back to a more "modest" 19 percent. The district has offered 16 percent. How many average Chicago residents are seeing anything close to that kind of salary bump?
- Chicago teachers pay 3 percent of their medical insurance benefits.
The only victims here are the taxpayers and the students.
That is not the only absurdity here. As a few people have been brave enough to note, 71 percent of the district's eighth-grade students aren't proficient at the most basic level of science, and nearly 80 percent are not grade-level proficient in reading. The district dropout rate is 40 percent.
But, as is always the case when students aren't progressing, the union blames everybody and everything but its members - poverty, lack of air conditioning, not enough books or the wrong books, not enough nurses, not enough counselors, and, of course, not enough "investment" from taxpayers.
If the students are successful, then of course the union claims that the teachers must get all the credit. So, no sanctions for failure, but rewards for success - the essence of union groupthink.
Ironically, Emanuel and his fellow Democrats are only reaping what they have sown. They, as wholly owned subsidiaries of big labor, are the ones who allowed public sector unions to exist and to gain such power. They should not be surprised when the built-in conflict of interest bites them.
And the union knows that both Obama and Emanuel don't want this to drag on - they can't afford the distraction, not to mention the potential cooling of labor support, with the presidential election about 50 days away.
Chances are, Emanuel is going to have to cave. Then we will find out what the cost will be for those who are really disrespected, and who are the real victims. Here's a hint: It is not the teachers.

---- — MOOERS — Construction will start soon on a new Mooers Free Library and community center.
Controversy over the project has died down since the location of the new facility was changed from next to the Mooers Town Offices to a piece of property on School Street.
The property, which is less than an acre, was donated by Dr. Wayne Evans and his wife, Susan, who is the Mooers Free Library Board president.
It is located next to their home on 15 School St., on the back side of an empty lot left when a home on Route 11 was destroyed in a fire.
In the future, the library might be able to acquire land around the donated property if it is needed, Mrs. Evans said.
Mooers Free Library librarian Jackie Madison is pleased with the site.
"I wanted (the library) to be visible, and I think being near the (Mooers Elementary) school is a good place because it offers more opportunities to interact with children," said Mooers Free Library librarian Jackie Madison.
Madison said the Elementary School doesn't have a librarian.
The cost of the new library/community center is expected to be $58,508.93, based on vendor estimates. So far, $38,535 in funding has been secured.
New York State Energy Research and Development Authority Outreach Project Consultant Paul St. Pierre will work with the Town Council and Library Board to make the building environmentally friendly, the Mooers Free Library Board said in a press release.
Construction will have to start soon, Madison said.
She was required to update state officials on the progress of the project since the state has awarded about $11,000 from the Public Library Construction Grant Program for the new facility.
"I said it would be done by the end of this year," Madison said.
She and the Library Board are still waiting to hear about possible funding from the Gladys Brooks Foundation.
Residents have expressed their support for a new library to Madison since the Town Council voted to move forward with the project, she said.
However, "they seem to either forget or overlook the fact that this is also going to be a community center."
Local groups will be able to use the space to hold meetings, presentations and other events.
Mrs. Evans said the library will provide residents with much-needed access to modern technology.
"There are so many people that don't have computers."
"I think it's going to be very beneficial to the community," Madison said.
The next meeting of the Mooers Town Council is 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 14, at the Mooers Town Offices.

Wow, what a goal from Maicon to pull Inter Milan level with Juventus in the 29th minute! A quick pass from Wesley Sneijder once again found the Brazilian tearing down the right flank. Maicon wasn't even rattled by the onrushing Juventus defense (is anyone that nervous of Leonard Bonucci? Really?), sending his volley over Gigi Buffon and into the near corner of the net.
Just minutes later, the nerazzurri demonstrated that they're after more than just a point in the season's first Derby d'Italia. Giampaolo Pazzini hit the crossbar, with the Juventus defense once again in shambles, and Buffon once again beaten. Only the grace of some Italian saint managed to keep the scoreline level.
But with they way Juventus are pouring forward, they look to be operating on a "we'll just score one more" sort of plan -- which certainly makes for exciting watching, and makes perfect sense when both defenses are fairly weak.

SAN DIEGO -- Dodgers All-Star right fielder Andre Ethier was out of the lineup Tuesday night."Just a day [off]," said manager Don Mattingly, who started Juan Rivera in right field against the Padres. "[Ethier] seemed frustrated last night." Ethier went 0-for-4 Monday night, grounding into a double play in the first inning, grounding out with a runner on second to end the third, lining into a double play to end the fifth and bouncing into a forceout in the eighth. Frustration, with Ethier, usually means he took it out on some inanimate object in the dugout with his bat, which Mattingly would neither confirm nor deny. "He's not hurt. No one else is hurt," said Mattingly. "It's just a day." Ethier was 3-for-14 with five strikeouts against Mat Latos, San Diego's starting pitcher Tuesday night. Rivera had never faced Latos.
Eovaldi among candidates for Rubby's spot
SAN DIEGO -- The Dodgers are back to pondering fifth-starter candidates now that Rubby De La Rosa needs Tommy John surgery, and his replacement could be another hard-throwing youngster, Nathan Eovaldi.Manager Don Mattingly was non-committal about who would slide into De La Rosa's spot in the rotation, which was to come up Saturday night. Because of a scheduled day off Thursday, his spot could be skipped and a fifth starter would not be needed until Tuesday. Mattingly didn't deny that Eovaldi's name is near or at the top of the list. "Eovaldi, I've heard, that's for sure," he said. "There are guys that we consistently hear about that are throwing the ball good. That's one I've heard." Eovaldi, only 21, is 6-5 with a 2.62 ERA at Double-A Chattanooga. The Dodgers were able to select him in the 11th round of the 2008 Draft because he had Tommy John surgery in his junior year of high school. Allen Webster and Chris Withrow are also on a Chattanooga pitching staff that has already sent De La Rosa, Javy Guerra and Josh Lindblom to the Dodgers this season. Mattingly said that John Ely, promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque Monday when De La Rosa was placed on the disabled list, would pitch out of the bullpen and apparently not be considered for a start. Ely had started exclusively for Albuquerque.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- The owners of John E's Restaurant say their restaurant closed because of the economy, tough competition, ongoing maintenance issues, and finances. All those, they say, were factors leading up to the closure on Feb. 1.
Paper signs posted on the doors of the restaurant, located at 3708 Bardstown Road near the Buechel Bypass, read simply: "GONE OUT OF BUSINESS." Tomorrow afternoon, there will be an auction for items inside the restaurant.
In a handwritten letter, Donnie, Ronnie, and Dee Kamenish and Bob Young had this to say about the abrupt closing: "The closing of John E's Restaurant and Lounge was not something we ever thought we would have to do. We put every ounce of energy, blood, sweat and tears into a dream, only to have that dream shattered."
Restaurant employees tell WDRB News, they still haven't received their last paycheck. The owners have not said when the employees will be paid.
Click here for details of auction:
The auction will include everything from framed artwork to flatware to advertising. It's set to begin at 1 p.m. on Feb. 12. The public can view the items at 11:30am Tuesday.
Even a leg lamp is for sale. Billy Collins Jr with the Collins Auction Company says, "The leather horses usually go very well. at most of the antique auctions, they usually do pretty well."
Glassware, pots and all the kitchen utensils you can think of are up for grabs. Business owners are coming by to see what they can bid on. Jerry Green of Jerry Green and Friends Nightclub says, "They have glassware and other things like that, that I can use in my club."
Collins says, "I know they have to be out by a certain date, I think that date is right around the corner. That's why we moved quickly when they called us."
Collins says, "Some of the restaurant equipment will be the higher priced auctions and the memorabilia, some of the signed stuff, you really can't put an estimate on. It matters who shows up and who bids on it."
All of these items are expected to be sold in about five hours. Only cash and checks will be accepted.

FINALLY, AT long last, I have something in common with Muhammad Ali. No, I'm not the heavyweight champion of the world, and I haven't been named spokesperson for Raid bug spray. Like "the Greatest"–not to mention far too many others–I have been a target of state police surveillance for activities–in my case, being against the death penalty–that were legal, nonviolent and, so we assumed, constitutionally protected.
In classified reports compiled by the Maryland State Police and the Department of Homeland Security, I am "Dave Z." This nickname was given by an undercover agent known to us as "Lucy." She sat in our meetings of the Campaign to End the Death Penalty, smiling and engaged, taking copious notes about actions deemed threatening by the then-governor of
Our seditious crimes, as Lucy reported, involved such acts as planning to set up a table at the local farmer's market and writing up a petition. Adding a dash of farce to this outrage, she was monitoring us in the liberal enclave of
Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act and the ACLU, we now know that "Lucy" was only one part of a vast, insidious project. The Maryland State Police's Department of Homeland Security devoted nearly 300 hours and thousands of taxpayer dollars from 2005 and 2006 to harassing people whose only crime was dissenting on the question of the war in
My dear friend Mike Stark, a board member of the Campaign to End the Death Penalty is at times referred to in "Lucy's" report as a "socialist" and an "anarchist." One can only assume this is the pathetic time-honored tradition of reducing people to simple caricatures, all the better to garner Homeland Security grant money.
Veteran peace activist in Baltimore, Max Obuszewski, who initiated the suit, was also consistently shadowed as he walked down the streets. His "primary crime" (their lingo) was entered into the homeland security database as "terrorism–anti govern(ment)." His "secondary crime" was listed as "terrorism–anti-war protestors." The database is known as the Washington-Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, or HIDTA.
Yes, a respected peace organizer of many decades standing is checked as a terrorist, his actions listed as criminal, for doing nothing more than exercising his rights. It boggles the mind.
Former police superintendent Tim Hutchins defended these totalitarian practices by saying, "You do what you think is best to protect the general populace of the state." (The article mentioned that Hutchins is now a federal defense contractor. I guess the global war on terror is just the gift that keeps on giving for the Hutchins family.)
But "protect the general populace" from what? The surveillance continued even after it was determined that we were planning nothing more dangerous that carrying clipboards in a public place. Hutchins and the Ehrlich administration have undertaken an ugly violation of our civil rights, manipulating fears of terrorism to stamp out dissent.
- – – – – – – – – – – – – – – -
THIS IS COINTELPRO pure and simple. Like the infamous counter-intelligence program, whose heyday many assume was a relic of the 1950s and 1960s, it's an effort to harass the innocent and breed paranoia, all for daring to question power.
Governor Ehrlich and Tim Hutchins stand in the legacy of those who hounded Martin Luther King and facilitated the death of Malcolm X. They stand in the tradition of those who drove the great actor, college football superstar and activist Paul Robeson toward the mental breakdown that claimed his life. When Robeson's files were opened under the Freedom of Information Act, the results were terrifying.
As his son, Paul Robeson Jr. has written, "From the files I received, it was obvious that there were agents who did nothing but follow every public event of my father, or even of me…It took on a life of its own…Over time, even for someone as powerful and with as many resources as my dad had…the attrition got to him."
Now Robeson is on a postage stamp. The moral midgets who destroyed him went unpunished. That's what has to change.
The ACLU, to their credit, is going on the offensive. As ACLU lawyer David Rocah said at a news conference in Baltimore on Thursday, "To invest this many hours investigating the most all-American of activities without any scintilla of evidence there is anything criminal going on is shocking. It's Kafkaesque."
Unfortunately, it is also "the most All-American of activities" for people like Gov. Ehrlich to take the Constitution and use it as their personal hand-wipe.
As the great political philosopher Ice T wrote, "Freedom of Speech…just watch what you say."
Well, now is exactly the time not to watch what we say. I'm angry. I'm angry for my friends, who trusted "Lucy" and others. I'm angry that my tax dollars went to paying the salaries of people who spy and intimidate those exercising their rights. I'm angry that Barack Obama just voted to increase the power of the Federal government to disrupt people's lives. And I'm angry enough that I'm joining a lawsuit initiated by the ACLU.
"Homeland Security" picked on the wrong sports writer. They also picked on the wrong group of activists. We will not be silenced.

Bond was set Thursday morning for a man accused of several rapes in the Delhi area.
Tony Pippin, 39, had a video arraignment on 21 counts of rape, attempted rape and sexual battery. His bond was set at $500,000.
Investigators say there are at least four victims, including a minor. The other three victims had all visited the Knotty Pine bar in White Oak.
Pippin has been behind bars since Dec. 16. He was indicted earlier this week.
To identify him, police used victim descriptions, two sketches and descriptions of his vehicle. For months, authorities say they'd been following Pippin. They even had undercover female officers on the case. Additionally, a search warrant was obtained and a GPS tracking device was placed on his car.

I was at a auction a few weeks ago and got a IH running gear. It has a hyd dump bed on it. I have never seen one before. Anyone know anything about them? I got it for $150 with a bad deck and two blow out front tires. And I found something to check when I buy another one. Make sure it steers! The front spindles were seized up and it would not turn. Which is probably why the front tires blew out. We broke one spindle housing taking it apart. And since its NLA my younger brother welded it up for me.
The trailer is going to be sharp when its done. I got lucky and have four tires on aluminum rims that fit right on. That came off of my old F150.
The cylinder is leaking bad and needs to be rebuilt.
I did get it to dump and was surprised at how high it lifted the deck. Its going to be really handy around the farm hauling brush and firewood.
Rather than having the front and back tied together with a single pipe it has two frame rails like a truck frame.
All in all its a neat toy. And I can't wait to get it all done up.

This isn't really that new, but I think it's worth pointing out. Amazon's A9 Maps have block-by-block views on many American cities. They drove a car with a camera down the streets and recorded the images on a Windows-based laptop along with GPS data.
I still like Virtual Earth, Yahoo Maps, or Google Maps better, though, mostly because of the draggable AJAX-based interface. I hate waiting for a map to refresh. Google really changed my expectations of what a map should do.
But, if you need to know what a store looks like before going there, Amazon is definitely something you should check out.

This simple outfit not only showcases one of my favorite summer styles (perfect for travel) but it also shows off the reason why I became a Stella & Dot stylist. It's simple, comfortable, chic, and features insanely versatile accessories (the necklace can be worn 5 ways and the handbag moonlights as a clutch). There is a very high chance of me wearing this little number on my way to Costa Rica next month.
{SHOP THE LOOK: Black Racerback Maxi – Norma Kamali for Walmart similar // Straw Fedora – Gap // Adelaide Hoops – Stella & Dot // Gold Sutton Statement Necklace (can be worn 5 ways!)- Stella & Dot // Adelina Cuff – Stella & Dot // Renegade Cluster Bracelet – Stella & Dot // Black Perf 2 bags in 1 – Stella & Dot // Lula flip flops – Target
Pictures just do not do this bag justice at all since the part of this bag that really stole my heart was it's versatility AND interior organization pockets. See this Black Perf 2 Bags in 1 in all it's glory starting at 3:37 of the video below.

What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
Illuminator is a good poster. He sticks to his guns and makes good points. Some don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t like that.
That folks are bullish on the dollar, bonds and/or stocks with those policies at work just goes to show that even after our stock and real-estate bubbles, the citizens of the U.S.A. remain sound asleep.
