Not even the loss of part of his right leg is stopping Charlottesville's Jacob Rainey from playing college football.
Rainey -- who had to have his leg amputated at the knee following a freak accident during a 2011 scrimmage -- has accepted an offer to walk on at Virginia.
"It just feels good to kind of prove everyone that said I wasn't going to play again wrong," Rainey, a quarterback at the Woodberry Forest School,
says. "And show that I can still do it at a high level."
The Cavaliers were just one of the ACC football programs recruiting the 6-3, 215-lb. Rainey two years ago.
"Early part of that summer, I traveled with him down to Virginia Tech. Watched him run a 4.6 (in the 40-yard dash)," Woodberry Forest coach Clint Alexander recalled.
But then the unthinkable: Rainey's right leg was badly injured when he was tackled in a September 2011 scrimmage. A ruptured artery cut off circulation to the lower part of the leg, leading to its eventual amputation a week later.
"For he and his family to be on the brink of achieving all their dreams, and to have it taken away so suddenly," Alexander said. "Watching him grow from this, I think, has been more impressive that anything else about it.
"He never lost focus of his dream," Alexander added. "And the one thing that's always impressed me about this whole venture was, he never talked about not getting back on the field."
"I mean, at first I really had to think about every single step," Rainey said of his prosthesis during a recent workout at Monticello High School. "But now that I'm used to it, it's kind of like second nature for me now."
About a year after losing the leg, Rainey was Woodberry's starting quarterback for the Tigers' season opener against Benedictine, leading the Tigers to a touchdown on their opening drive. Last November, he ended his prep career by leading Woodberry to three scoring drives in a 44-14 win over arch rival Episcopal.
"It's rewarding, I guess," Rainey said, "to just kind of feel like I'm back to where I was before I got hurt."
And now -- just like he planned all along -- Rainey is getting ready to continue his football career in college. During one warm Saturday afternoon last month, he was throwing lasers with Joe Sanford from the AthElite Factory, who Rainey trained with regularly before his injury.
"I mean, he's still the same player, as far as mentally in the game," Sanford said. "He's still got the same drive to be perfect; the same drive to throw good passes out here, and do all the mechanics right.
"Just having that freak thing happen shouldn't push your goals aside," Sanford added. "So I'm glad that he followed through with that. And thankful he got the opportunity."
That opportunity came from Virginia head coach Mike London, about a month ago. London offered Rainey a spot with his hometown Cavaliers as a preferred walk-on.
"They've been by my side the whole time. When I was hurt, they called me all the time, checked up on me," Rainey said. "And it's kind of come full circle, for them to offer that to me and make me part of the program."
"I shared this with my wife. I said, if he was just getting recruited -- going to schools, the big prospect -- that school would be excited. But he's touched hearts all over the country," said Alexander. "I think, in one sense, he's going to be able to do something special. And watching how he's handled it since the injury, I know he is."

Oh there is so much to love about florals with attitude; a chalk striped leather skirt with a hefty leather tie cinching its paper bag waist; a down coat in a wood grain print that looks as fascinating as oil on water; and a massive cable knit mohair sweater that does away with the need for a jacket altogether.
In every fashion city there is one designer that turns their face against the prevailing trend and sets an entirely new agenda. In London we have Christopher Kane. The whimsical florals from his summer collection are still reverberating as a key influence on the catwalks of New York and he has simply picked up his pastoral vision and cast a gothic shadow over it, which leaves the competition standing.
It didn't seem possible to really want a pinstripe again until he carved them into his leather coat which he styled over a liquorice striped sweater. Gathered waists on paper bag top skirts and drawstring necklines on black tabard tops emphasised the simplicity of the silhouette. And the clashing of woodgrain print skirt under leopard print coat gave the most minimalist silhouette a richness that exuded both luxury and a don't-mess-with-me urban chutzpah.
After using Lana Del Rey's Video Games as a soundtrack last show, fashion people, at least, believe he was a key influence behind the song's ubiquity. This season he swapped the moody ballad for pounding rock beat which made those organza dresses with their overblown rose prints and black leather trim look more mosh pit than meadow sweet.
There are at least 35 reasons why Christopher Kane is a hot fashion week ticket and every single one of them was on today's runway.

Absolutely perfect, just what I needed! These are so hard to find now. I have an Etienne Aigner credit card/picture case that I love! But have spent the last year or more trying to find a replacement insert. Everywhere else they were too big. Honestly this was so hard to find that now I'm worried WD will not carry them forever. So I might be back to order a stock pile!

A Hard-to-find item at last!
By Just plain k
from Conroe, TX
These inserts are very difficult to find these days. I can continue to use my favorite wallet by changing out the worn windows....since the wallet itself is leather and in good conditon. Why buy another wallet...when I really don't want or need one?
Just what they say they are

Just what I wanted
By Deb
from dover,de.
The plastic insert in my wallet had torn up from use. The inserts ordered were of good quality and were just what I wanted.
By Bargain Buyer
from Iowa City, IA
I bought these inserts to put pictures in because the one I had was falling apart. This product was made with durable plastic, yet I can see all 12 pictures I put in it clearly. It gets thrown around in my purse and items are "poking" into it all the time, yet it never scratches or rips. Great product! Would definitely buy again!

systems. The Argentina plants are scheduled to achieve commercial operation in the fall of 2014. In Brasil, Eletrobrás subsidiary Amazonas Distribuidora de Energia awarded a contract to Siemens to supply the power island for the UTE Mauá 3 project in Manaus, the capital of the state of Amazonas. Contractor Construtora Andrade Gutierrez is building the plant in two phases—a simple-cycle phase in 2014, supporting the increased electricity demand during the 2014 FIFA World Cup Soccer games, and later a combined-cycle expansion, bringing total capacity to 580 MW. The Siemens contract in Brazil is valued at about $220 million, including gas turbines, steam turbine, three generators, and instrumentation and control systems.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) issued an air quality plan approval to Moxie Liberty of Vienna, Va., to build a 936-MW power plant in Asylum Township, Bradford County, Pa. The project includes two 468-MW power blocks, both equipped with air-cooled condensers.
Kaua'i Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC) hired SolarCity to build a $40 million, 12-MW photovoltaic power project on 67 acres KIUC is leasing from Līhu'e-based Grove Farm Co. near Koloa. The project will be the third utility-scale solar facility under construction or in development on Kaua'i. When completed, the three projects are expected to meet about 50 percent of Kaua'i's daytime electrical demand—the highest percentage of solar PV on any U.S. utility's system.
Georgia Power began operating the third and final unit at the 840-MW gas-fired, combined-cycle Plant McDonough-Atkinson in Smyrna, Ga. Georgia Power started up the first unit at McDonough-Atkinson in December 2011, and the second in April 2012. Georgia Power retired the two coal units at McDonough-Atkinson in September 2011 and February 2012. Removal of the site's historic stack has begun, with completion expected by June 2013.
Demand Response
Progress Energy Florida will use Comverge's IntelliSOURCE demand response management system (DRMS) to migrate its EnergyWise Home residential demand-side management program from a one-way to two-way communication system. The system will centrally control more than 500,000 energy management devices from multiple manufacturers being deployed throughout Florida. Progress also will use IntelliSOURCE to automate and manage the workflow required to install the devices.
Siemens introduced version 2.0 of its DRMS. The new system targets demand reductions via substation, feeder, zip code, or geographical location, to allow utilities to reduce power loads at critical sections of their distribution networks. Siemens says the system allows utilities to condition load to meet system needs, "surgically curtailing specific loads within tailored demand response events" to achieve operational or market objectives.
Pepco Holdings launched a customer engagement program with Opower for residential customers in Maryland. The program is designed to help Pepco customers better assess their energy consumption and explore ways to reduce their energy use and monthly energy bills. The program is being trialed with 50,000 residential customers in Maryland, and might be expanded next year.

The date coincides with the end of the district's fiscal year. The long time educator started with the district in 1973 and was Port Huron High's principal for many years. He was first appointed assistant superintendent before being named suuperintendent in 2010. Wollen tells us in an interview that he is proud to have been part of the district's turnaround and notes the fund equity is expected to see an increase soon after years of spending more than was coming in. His announcement was made now to give the Board of Education time to search for a replacement....the process for which will be discussed at Monday night's Board of Education meeting.

"I did something wrong with my yeast. It never doubled but I decided to make it anyway. best rolls me and my husband have ever had!"
"I tried this recipe today and it turned out great! Very easy to make and quite tasty, will definitely make this again!"
"This was very easy recipe to follow. As always read the recipe thoroughly first, then start following it.My kitchen must have been a little cool, because it wasn't rising in a timely manner, so I put a heating pad under the pans with a heavy towel in between the heating pad and the pans with another towel over the pans. The rolls turned out wonderful. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thank you Jeanette for passing it on."
