Deputies arrested a suspect in connection with the shooting of a teenager in a Franklin County mobile home park after a long standoff Monday evening.
Deputies responded to the mobile home park off Duckers Station Road, between Leestown Pike and I-64, around 7 p.m. Officials say the 13-year-old victim was rushed to UK Hospital and described his condition as critical.
The Franklin County sheriff says the suspect fled across a nearby golf course and along a set of railroad tracks. RJ Corman police located him at the Chenault Road overpass.
The sheriff says the suspect held himself at gunpoint threatening suicide for more than four hours as deputies negotiated with him. Samuel Dean Isaacs, 55, finally surrendered just after midnight. Deputies took him into custody and charged him with wanton endangerment, resisting arrest and assault.
Officials did not release the identity of the teen, or any information on the relationship between Isaacs and the victim.

14 Fashion Week Looks Inspired By Star Trek: The Next Generation
Mar 7, 2014

Over the past few weeks, Fashion Week has been occurring in fashion capitals around the world, with designers showing their fall/winter collections. Some of these collections seem to have taken a tip from a few of our favorite looks on
Star Trek: The Next Generation
. Let's have a look, shall we?
1. Dior - Dr. Crusher's Coat
The boxy lines and electric blue hue make this a perfect update to Bev's doctor wear.
2. Dolce and Gabbana - Guinan Wear
Guinan favors deep, rich tones and flowing lines, like this D&G coat shown in Milan.
3. Stella McCartney - Picard's Tie-Dye Look
In "The Inner Light," Captain Picard lives a whole life on another planet in just a few minutes. Perhaps Stella McCartney liked the tie-dye pajamas look of this ep?
4. Giambattista Valli - Guest Star Bebe Neuwirth
Bebe appeared as an alien who was VERY interested in getting to know Riker a little better in "First Contact" (the episode, not the movie). This Giambattista Valli coat echoes the thick fabric, off-center closure, and structured-yet-not look of her coat.
5. Rochas - Dr. Crusher's "Sub Rosa" Jammies
Beverly's whole look here is echoed in the color combo and soft fabrics of this Rochas ensemble.
6. Elie Saab - Dr. Crusher's OTHER Jammies
In another episode, Bev works a raspberry nightgown that Elie Saab has - with the addition of some racy cutouts.
7. Ralph Lauren - Troi's Nightie
The high neck and satiny finish on Troi's nightgown made their way to the Ralph Lauren collection.
8. Valentino - Ardra
Ardra pretended to be the devil in the fourth season episode "Devil's Due," where she wore this flowing dark gown.
9. Stella McCartney - Creepy Alien Dude
The aliens featured in the episode "Violations" had some intriguing cutouts, similar to the ones seen in the Stella McCartney show.
10. Alexander McQueen - This Weird Greek Chorus
In "Loud as a Whisper," an ambassador traveled with a cadre of interpreters. This McQueen dress would fit right in to their flowy, cream-colored team.
11. Giambattista Valli - Lwaxana Troi
Mrs. Troi is known for her amazing looks, and this Lord Licorice dress is one of her finest. Licorice was also used in this Giambattista Valli coatdress.
12. Anthony Vaccarello - Vash
Occasional Picard-lover Vash wore a black minidress with a deep V in one of her appearances. Here's a 2014 edition from Anthony Vaccarello.
13. Stella McCartney - Wesley's Sweater
Okay, it's not QUITE that bad, but it's getting dangerously close.
14. The Entire Chanel Show - Romulans
All Romulans, all the time.

About Kathy and Steve
My name is Steve Boedt and I work as a fitness presenter all over the world. recently I moved to Copenhagen for work and planning to stay there for a couple of years.
Kathy and Steve purchased this villa in 2013
Why Kathy and Steve chose Bruges (Brugge)
This property is designed by Architect Degeyter. A well known architect that has designed beautiful houses in Flanders in the 60's. This house has a lot of charm and is a real eye catcher. Big enough for a small family and small enough to have a cozy feeling and homey atmosphere.
What makes this villa unique
Even though you are still in Bruges, the house is located outside the city center and let's you enjoy the great benefits of a beautiful garden with a lounge corner. Also pets are allowed and have there own outside doghouse. Also free private parking in front of the house for 2 cars is a huge benefit in Bruges. If you wanna leave the car in front of the house, it is very safe and the bus stop is right in front of the house with busses every 15 min that take you downtown in 10 min.

Kentucky Derby (G1) hero SUPER SAVER (Maria's Mon) will attempt to keep his Triple Crown hopes alive when he breaks from post 8 in Saturday's 135th running of the $1 million Preakness S.

Understanding Systemic Racism: Exploring Its Impact on Maternal Health
11am-4pm on Friday July 11
Bring a sack lunch
Utilizing a systems analysis of institutional oppression, participants will examine the ways racism impacts maternal health, care provision, and patient wellness.

Session attendees will be given a framework for understanding and analyzing systemic racism, as well as language and introductory assessment tools to begin evaluating the outcomes of systemic racism in the field. We will also focus on the Missouri Midwives Association and its constituents as a case study for in-session analysis.

Following Stillmans with a high-fat low carb diet?
Hi everyone, I'm 10 days away from a convention that I wanted to be 175 for and right now I've been hovering around 183-184 for a few days. I'm on a moderate fat very low carb diet (just my own thing, not too worried about following a set plan, but under 10 carbs a day). I've done Stillmans before on a plateau and I want to do QWL until the con starts. Do you think I will gain a lot if I follow QWL immediately with a high fat lc diet?
The foods I'll be eating for the 5 days of the con are 4 boiled eggs, Linda Sue's cheese chips as snacks, and a cup of Robin's Rotel for dinner which is pretty high fat. Any suggestions? TIA!
Good Morning!
A few of the Stillman's losers cycle a strick Stillman's regiment followed by a higher fat refeed day. Some gain very temporarily but then lose faster when they go back to Stillmans. It is possible for you to lose the few pounds you need to by the convention. . just watch for any hidden carbs and stay strick to the plan and drink a ton of water. Feel free to post any questions or comments you may have on the active Stillman's site for May.. There are a lot of losers who love to help others .. Good Luck!

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A South Florida woman has been convicted of trying to hire someone to kill her husband of just six months.
A Palm Beach County jury found 29-year-old Dalia Dippolito guilty Friday of solicitation to commit first-degree murder.
Boynton Beach police say Dippolito offered a hit man - who was actually an undercover police officer - $3,000 to kill her husband in August 2009.
Dippolito's attorney argued in opening statements that she never planned to kill her husband. She thought she was being recorded as part of a hoax to get her husband, Michael, on a reality TV show. The husband denied the accusation, and police said there was no evidence to support it.
Dippolito faces up to 30 years in prison at her June 16 sentencing.

The Induction Debate...
Hello all,
I've had a basic electric stove top that cost about 200€ MAX in my apartment, and thinking of finally updating. Induction has come up on my list of options. I have specifically found an AEG product that is being sold at my local store for 999€. I will post a link to the product for reference. So here is there real question: I am 21 and have some money in my savings, but is the investment truly worth it? How many years can I expect to keep such a product? 5 years, 10 years, 20+? I have Le Creuset pans and Zwilling which are both compatible, so pans are not an issue. All in all, I really wanna know if the money is worth what I am buying. They have cheaper models from different companies in the 500-600€ range but they look cheap, and that worries me. I hope someone can help me make a conscious decision here because sometimes I jump in the water without thinking and make mistakes with purchases. Thanks in advance!
(Sorry it's only available in German)
Induction is not as common in the USA as Europe. And with different brands, and possibly different service possibilities, American posters probably can't give you a good answer about it's durability. Induction is basically an electronic product, like your TV and computer.
Hi, cwochnik:
It's a difficult question, since induction appliances haven't been in large-scale production all that long.
If you use the search function, I believe someone here posted a link to a study that supposedly says induction appliances have shown longevity comparable to gas stoves. Given those appliances' heavy reliance on electronics, though, I'm not so sure.
re: kaleokahu
As an induction user for the better part of two years now, I'd agree that it's a difficult question to answer. Delighted as I am with mine, I'm hoping it will be around for a while, but that didn't stop me from purchasing a quite reasonably priced extended warranty on it.
As for studies, this one, which does an amusingly over-the-top scientific analysis (it's a PDF that for some reason I can't link directly to, but if you google this string it should be the first thing that comes up: mynewsub.com/site/wp-content/uploads/.../Induction-Stovetops-3.pdf) recommends induction over gas for both societal and environmental reasons, but it sidesteps the question of longevity, stating, "An important note is that no academic research could be found that indicates which technology has a longer operational life expectancy." [That was done about two years ago.] It was prepared by an applied science instructor at the Univ of British Columbia to aid in deciding what type of stove to buy for the new student union.
Then there's a study from the National Assn of Home Builders, summarized here (http://log-homes.thefuntimesguide.com...), which says that you can typically expect an induction unit to last 10 years vs 15 years for gas. Unfortunately, the URL from that summary page that purports to link to the full study just redirects to the NAHB home page, so we can't see what methodology led to these conclusions.
Bottom line it seems the question is still TBD.
Well I have used induction over a year now and have used every other type of stove/range out there. I can say that I do like induction very very much. I would prefer to have gas but, I cant get it at the house. But then I think about the heat that gas puts off when you are using it and think induction is far better in that aspect. Induction does make noise (fans spinning). How much, I guess depends on the model you buy. I have a Electrolux http://www.electroluxappliances.com/K... Any questions you may have I will try my best to answer.I think they are well worth it. I have told my wife that when we move I will be taking it with me. lol. I think it is well worth the investment., How long it will actually last remains to be seen.
i don't have experience w/ induction - not very popular out here - said from the pacific ocean (western North Am) side of the earth - i notice that appliances in the mid-range market - do not last as long as they used to a couple of decades ago -
1. recently i have had to repair the touchpad on a hi-end kitchen aid electric stove (it was about 3 yrs old and lightly used)
2. and some sort of drain valve in a Whirlpool (decent mid-range brand in North Am) dishwasher - less than 2 yrs old and the repair cost about half of the original purchase price (in my dark side mind - I think it's planned by the factory - interesting that the warranty ran out a few months ago and now it needs repair)
3. I notice my friend's LG fridge - the seal is all wonky and falling apart - it's new too.
whereas - in the days when we walked to and from school both ways uphill (it's a N Am joke about our age and "you know when you're getting old when ...) - fridges lasted, so did KitchenAid (it was considered a decent purchase) - so did Whirlpool
i am of the age and mind that if it ain't broke, why spend our disposable income on these things. That said - that's your business isn't it.
re: Georgia Strait
my appliance repair man told me not to buy LG or samsung - at least their refrigerators... he's fixing them when they are 2-3 years old. had another friend who got one a few years ago and it broke within 6 months so badly that the dealer had to give them a whole new unit. they have a samsung now- trouble free (fingers crossed). i've still got my 12 yr. old amana: gonna keep fixing it.
re: rmarisco
And MY appliance repair person LOVED Samsung. As someone said here recently "anecdotes don't equal facts" :)
Hi cwo -
Considering the expense, it is very wise of you to ask question, before you "jump in the water" as you mention..
We have used induction for 9+ years. This is a 220-240v system, cooktop only, built into granite counters, as our ovens are separate units. We own other properties with either gas or electricity, so a cooking comparison can be made between all three.
As to the internal electronics, we have experienced no problems ( as I knock on the table ). The controls are touch sensitive, which to most is a plus. The glass top of the induction is fine for use with different pots and pans, even cooking with a flat bottomed wok, or a paella pan. Obviously it is easier to clean than a cooktop with gas hobs.
Technique with induction iwe notice s generally quieter, but quicker, if you want it to be. We prefer slow cooking, and steaming, so induction is better for our needs. The advert bit about how quickly water boils is not as important as to how well your food cooks. Induction does a very good job of it.
One consideration is keeping your cooking pans on the surface,and in the grid lines. If you usually lift to toss, or trundle food in pans while cooking, then induction might no be what you want. Not much flair or showmanship possible here.
We work around that quick toss of the hand and pan by using a spatula or other tool, while the pan or wok remains on the glass. But if you lift the pan or pot off of the surface for a second or two, off she goes. The induction safety feature turns the cooktop off.
As you mention your pots and pans are induction compliant, you have solved a major problem facing many changing to induction ( and saved a great amount of expense ). But the reality is that sometime you will buy some new cooking pans for your new system in the future. We all have.
As mentioned we steam foods, and usually make a sauce to accompany the dish. Wine, Champagne, meat, fish, it varies. The bonus with induction is that subtle sauces are easier to make, using the very low setting possible with the touch gradations. Yesterday I made 4 Kg of chopped candied Citron and Orange peel for the coming Christmas Stollen baking in December. I left everything ( 2 large pans ) on low to slow simmer, stirring now and then, and the results are clearly better using induction..
With sauces, marmalade, or others, just leave your Sauteuse pan on the glass surface and stir slowly. ( Yes, post-induction I added a 16 cm saute, wok, and a few other induction pans to the collection ).
One consideration not asked as yet is how long do you intend to stay where you are ? If this stove and cooktop will move with you, then no problem. If you might be moving soon, think it over. I say this as we know someone with Deutsche Bank that had been in London, and then had to relocate. Fortunately he sold his flat and furnishings ( at a nice profit ) to a interested neighbour who found his induction kitchen valuable.
I hope this is helpful.
re: SWISSAIRE
Excellent info from a long term user. I'm only at about 3-1/2 years so a newbie compared to you :)
Induction cooktops are indeed very cool and nice. However, the lifespan/longevity, it is a tough question. Two thing to consider is that not only an induction cooktop may have shorter lifespan, it is more expensive to fix/replace. In other words, even an induction cooktop last as long as a gas hob, the induction components are more expensive to upkeep.
However, induction cooktops are indeed very nice with many advantages in term of speed, power, safety and others.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Well when my glass-gas cooktop shattered that was pretty pricy to replace. I think it was a case of glass fatigue. The gas burners are raised above the glass in case someone is curious about glass and gas. It is a GE Monogram cooktop.
re: Candy
A good point. I guess I didn't think of the glass-gas cooktops. Thanks.
A good point was made about electronics and proximity to the sea or salt air corrosion.
We own ocean-front property in Brasil, and " Maresia," or salt-air corrosion, which is further enhanced there with the high humidity.
In a decade plus of building there, we have replaced air conditioners, ceiling fan lights, televisions, a microwave, and many light switches. Refrigerators last perhaps 7 years at the most. Not a problem, given the many enjoyments on the sea, but that is the reality of living there and renting out.
As much as I enjoy Induction, we would not add any induction cook tops or combo stoves there for that reason. Gas, at least on the ocean front is the most practical.
Yes, it is a World Cup venue city ( Fortaleza ), and yes, we have already booked them all out.
re: SWISSAIRE
We used to own an apt. in Rio, two blocks from Copacabana Beach and, yes, it's an ongoing issue. The fridge that we inherited was so rusted that I, the consummate non-germophobe, was grossed out. The ACs, after five years, were showing their age. Good point about induction in places like that.
re: c oliver
Rio and Brasil are truly beautiful.
I was a scientist assigned in 1971 to assist with the UN funded sewage pre-treatment system, the first of it's kind there. I lived nearby on Rua Visconde de Piraja, and swam in the ocean with the lifeguards every other day when the outflow wasn't on, down by what later became Novo Rio.
The coolest thing we had going at our flat in Ipanema was a large metal stove with 9 placement rings for pots and pans like that found on an induction unit. Only this stove was fueled with wood.
I was first assigned a car and driver, bought a local made Fusca, or VW Bug, and then a hot VW SP-2, which looked like a small TestaRossa. Within 3 years the side mirror rusted off from the salt-air corrosion.
Times change, Brasil is now loaded and has long paid off it's debts, and is loaning money to the IMF, but Maresia is still eating home electronics including kitchen appliances with gusto.
re: SWISSAIRE
Now THAT is a cooktop :) We had the more typical 24" four burner gas stove where you couldn't have two large diameter pieces of cookware on it at the same time. Our builder and everyone else literally laughed out loud when I announced that I WAS going to have AC in the kitchen. Never heard of such a thing. The "little woman" or the maid would have just gotten back there and glowed. We couldn't have a central system without tearing up the beautiful Brazilian rosewood floors. So a window unit in the kitchen (as well as other rooms) and I could close the door and the windows and have it nice and comfy. We cooked a lot. Heading back there next week.
If your current cooktop is still in working order, you should consider buying a single induction burner. In America, these cost around $100. Max Burton is a popular brand. This will allow you the flexibility of using either, as you get to know your way around induction cooking and determine if it suits you. If and when the single burner conks out, you can then decide if you should take the leap of replacing your electric coils.
re: greygarious
I have a Max Burton that I used when the kitchen was gutted. I didn't think real highly of it. It just didn't seem all that sensitive as the 'real' cooktops are. But some, including Candy, have gotten Fagor which they seem to like.
re: greygarious
This is what I was going to suggest. I had no idea they were that expensive in the US, though. I'm in Singapore and mine cost S$35, or around US$30 for a single burner. Granted, I got the cheapest one around, but so what? It works great. I've had it on fairly heavy duty usage for the last year - my apartment comes with two radiant heat burners, and I think I've used them all of twice.
But even if I have to replace my single-burner induction cooker every year, it's still cheaper over a decade than what you're looking at, so I'd still recommend it. Get two if you have to, but you might not need to. One's doing me fine, but I cook for two people only most of the time.
re: LMAshton
For US$1600 I got a full range with four burners and a convection oven and warming drawer. So I think that's kinda fuzzy math :)
re: c oliver
LOL! Of course it's fuzzy math!
If cwochnik only uses/needs one or two burners, it's probably more economical (or, as I really want to phrase it, cost effective - former accountant here!) to buy one or two single-burner induction cookers, especially if s/he doesn't know whether or not s/he likes induction cookers.
If we're talking about someone who cooks up a storm frequently, then of course needs change.
re: LMAshton
The cheapest price I've seen in the USA for a Max Burton is about $65 (Toolup online).
After several years of regular use (I'd have to do a search of my posts to be sure how long) it is doing fine, with one minor problem. The most frequently used control button, 'reduce heat', is showing signs of wear.
Controls of any well used appliance can be the first thing to go. That's true of the plastic knobs on my old electric stove. On a toaster over it was the timer control that broke. I've replaced the keyboard on computers.

Turkish FM holds bilateral meetings with his counterparts in Brunei
Monday, July 01, 2013
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN - Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu held bilateral talks with his counterparts at the 46th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Foreign Ministers` meeting in Brunei on Monday.
Davutoglu said Hezbollah`s involvement in the Syrian civil war was `clearly` considered as a foreign intervention and would carry huge risks.
Davutoglu met with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov and they discussed the Syrian issue.
"The United Nations has not found a way to end the tragedy in Syria due to Russia and China`s veto powers in the UN Security Council. Difference of opinions of the five permanent members has blocked the UN. I discussed my concerns over China and Russia`s vetoes particularly the effects of the vetoes on the world`s economy with the Chinese foreign minister," Davutoglu said.
Davutoglu said he expressed his concerns to Lavrov that the Syrian regime did not have good intentions about the Geneva II Conference, adding "Lavrov affirmed that we need to work together to start the Geneva II Conference."
"After all these meetings I hope we will reach a solution to end these attacks. First and foremost this is the international community`s problem. Syrian people have been badly affected by the Syrian crisis most, and the neighboring countries and Turkey are the next to have been affected by the crisis. It is unacceptable that the international community ignores Turkey`s and neighboring countries` concerns," he added.
Following his meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Davutoglu Wang Yi, Davutoglu said they discussed regional and global issues particularly Syria, adding he also expressed Turkey`s hope to be in close contact with China over the Syrian crisis.
27 foreign ministers attended the meeting held in Brunei. Davutoglu met with 12 ministers. He will come together with US Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday.

Monday, June 13, 2011
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
NEW YORK -- U.S. airlines collected $3.4 billion in bag fees last year. The 24 percent increase from 2009 shows how the airlines are increasingly reliant on charging for once-free services to make money.
The fees -- typically $50 round-trip for the first piece of checked luggage -- are one of the few bright spots for an industry that is caught between rising fuel costs and customers who expect rock-bottom airfares.
''If it weren't for the fees, the airlines would most likely be losing money,'' said Jim Corridore, airline analyst with Standard & Poor's.
That's little comfort to fliers who've felt nickel-and-dimed by the airlines over the past three years as fees have proliferated. And as they face higher airfares and packed planes for travel this summer.
''I feel like I am constantly being hit by little things by the airlines,'' said Lauren DiMarco, a stay-at-home mother from Wenham, Mass. ''We're already paying so much money.''
Delta generated the most revenue from bag fees -- $952 million -- followed by the combined United and Continental at nearly $655 million. American collected $580 million and US Airways $513 million.
Airlines aggressively raised ticket prices early in the year. But those increases couldn't keep up with the price of jet fuel, now 37 percent costlier than last year. Some more recent attempts at fare increases have failed because passengers have shown resistance to higher fares.
So instead, the airlines focus on fees.
''Unfortunately for the airlines, when they try to roll $50 into the ticket prices, people stop buying tickets,'' said Rick Seaney CEO of FareCompare.com.
Earlier this month, Delta and United raised fees to check a second bag to Europe. Delta also added a fee for second bags checked to Latin America and ended its $2 discount for paying fees in advance online.
American Airlines introduced fees for the first checked bag in 2008 as the price of oil skyrocketed. The other airlines, except JetBlue and Southwest, have since followed and progressively increased those charges.
Many fliers are still unaware of the fees or understand how much they have to pay until they arrive at the airport ticket counter.
''They find out very quickly when they are asked to pull out their credit card,'' Seaney said.
The airlines aren't alone in charging fees that irk customers. For instance, banks charge customers to use out-of-network ATMs and levy fees for insufficient balances. But there is something especially irritating about paying a fee just before you board a plane for your long-awaited vacation. For something that used to be free.
Buoyed by the success with bag fees, the airlines are charging for all sorts of extras.
They are now selling passengers the option to board early, get more leg room and to earn extra frequent flier miles. There are also fees for oversized bags, changing tickets, making a reservation over the phone and -- on some airlines -- reserving a seat in advance.

- Delta to reward frequent flier miles based on ticket price ( February 26, 2014 )
- Delta raising fees ( April 1, 2008 )
- Fee-weary air travelers get a break for now ( April 19, 2010 )

Weather Averages for Naples in August
Averages for Naples in August
On the whole, August is a hot month in Naples, with average temperatures rarely going below 25 degrees and the sun shines for 7 hours every day. At its peak, temperatures can go above 30 degrees during midday. The sea water temperature stays around 22 degrees, meaning you can quickly cool off by dipping into the nearest beach.
There are many affordable choices of accommodation for smart tourists who visit Naples during August. The Hotel Palazzo Decumani is a contemporary hotel built inside a perfectly restored, authentic 20th century palazzo. Cutting edge technology meets vintage elegance in this refreshing hotel, making it the ideal choice for discerning tourists.
To help stay cool under the Mediterranean sun, grab some gelato ice cream from the world-famous Dolce Idea Gennaro Bottone, one of Naples most prominent confectionery, ice cream and chocolate shops. The Dolce idea serves fresh ice cream (made the very same day you get to eat it) and premium Italian chocolate pack a sweet punch that you won't forget in a hurry.
As nights falls, the port area stirs into action and a fabulous array of nightlife activities takes place every night in August and throughout the high season.

While gearing up for Friday night's L.A.M.B. show, the fashion maven scopes out the competition, attending a Refinery 29 bash in leather, prints and her signature red lipstick.
"I won't be dip-dyeing my hair anytime soon, but I would like to copy her necklace game!" – Alyssa
She's wearing the Graziela "Baby Wave" necklace, $210, and the EF Collection diamond-and-topaz lariat, a little more expensive at $695.
From: You Asked, We Found
Always fashionable Gwen Stefani embraces a simple kind of life in a T-shirt and jeans as she leaves an acupuncture clinic in L.A. on Friday.
Important poll: Is the dream where you show up to work without pants better or worse than the dream where you show up to work in a denim onesie without a top? We know how Gwen Stefani would vote.
You might think Gwen Stefani's top had an unfortunate run-in with an insect, but those mini holes on her Hye Park and Lune "Tara" tank are supposed to be there.
Gwen Stefani is really trying to make "downeralls" happen. She's been spotted numerous times wearing her Paige Denim onesie with the bib below her waist.
We get ideas for how to wear our hair on Pinterest, but Gwen Stefani's crisp center part and stick-straight strands, coiffed by her stylist and friend Danilo, were inspired by something a bit more high fashion: Donatella Versace.
"Gwen is my fashion idol and this top might be my favorite item of hers yet." – Kirsten
Gwen's not only wearing this vest; she also designed it. So it's no wonder you love her DWP zip-up moto vest, available for $341.
"I died over Gwen's performance at Coachella. And I'm dying some more over her jumpsuit!" – Adelaide
You're going to die just a little bit more when you find out who designed the jumpsuit: oh, just Gwen herself. Get a version of it – the L.A.M.B. zip-up – for $495.
"I love anything snakeskin. So obviously I need these pants." – Hanna
Obviously. Get the slouchy EVLEO trousers for $115, way less than anything made of real snakeskin would cost.
"I thought, after last month, I was done shopping. I was wrong. I need this outfit." – Eliza
Done? One is never done. Get Gwen's Hatch tuxedo blazer and matching pants for a total of $596 from hatchcollection.com.
Gwen Stefani keeps casual and cool while out and about in London on Monday.
The Voice coach Gwen Stefani looks book-smart while heading to an acupuncturist in Los Angeles on Monday.
Consider us officially jealous! Just a little over a month after welcoming third son Apollo (born Feb. 28), the pop singer stylishly stepped out in L.A. on April 20 in the same HATCH Collection denim jumpsuit she wore while pregnant. Noticeably absent? The sizable baby bump!
Gwen Stefani leaves her new addition at home as she makes her way through Beverly Hills on Monday.

Gwen Stefani gets a little #throwback action in on her shirt (anyone up for some Galaga?) while en route to an acupuncture clinic in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Gwen Stefani stays in her shades while running errands Friday afternoon in Studio City, California.
Believe your eyes: Gwen is taking a night off from her signature red lip color. She goes for a hot-pink shade, quite the contrast against her spotted LBD, black fishnets and studded Louboutin stilettos, seen at the iHeart Radio Awards in L.A.
Hear her roar! Gwen Stefani – a.k.a. the newest judge on The Voice – accessorizes with a chic leopard-print bag Wednesday while walking through Koreatown in L.A.
Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale leave their new addition at home to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Hakkasan Las Vegas at a Saturday bash.

On a sunny Easter Sunday in Los Angeles, Gwen Stefani smiles wide as she gets ready for some holiday family time.
After making a surprise appearance at Coachella over the weekend, it's back to business for new mom Gwen Stefani, who heads to a doctor's office in L.A. on Monday.
You might not think you'd want to steal something from a pregnant woman's closet, but when that pregnant woman is Gwen Stefani it's clearly a different story. The singer wears the same structured black topper to keep her bump looking chic at all times and keep us obsessing over her spot-on style.
From: I Really Love My ...
We're pretty sure only Gwen Stefani can make a pair of leopard-print sunnies work with everything in her wardrobe. But if you're willing to try, we found a similar style for a fraction of the price.
From: I Really Love My ...
You didn't think Gwen Stefani was going to wear sweatpants just because she's pregnant again, did you? No, the fashion-forward mom sticks to her trendy distressed "Willa" bottoms, which are way chicer, but look just as comfy as sweats.
From: I Really Love My ...
The singer, whose third son with husband Gavin Rossdale is due any day now, gets a breath of fresh air Saturday with Pomeranian Chewy at a Woodland Hills, Calif., park.
From: Stars and Their Pets
Though her L.A.M.B. line was the final show of the season the past few Fashion Weeks, this year the star's pet project will be showing on Sept. 11 without the designer in attendance. There's no trouble in paradise, however – she continues to be her own biggest fan, sporting the fashion-forward line everywhere she goes.
If we didn't know any better, we'd think the singer was channeling Cruella de Vil in her two-tone shift and knee-high boots on her way to Christmas Eve church service in L.A. The perfect complement? Adorable sons – Kingston, 7, and Zuma, 5 – in matching striped bow ties and pants.
Boys on the brain? Gwen Stefani, who is expecting her third son, fashionably struts her stuff to a Jan. 27 acupuncture appointment in an azure fedora, black shades, EVLEO snakeskin leggings, a black wrap top and strappy pumps.
Along with her bold red nails and lips, Stefani turns heads in a leopard print scarf draped over black leggings, cage heels in West Hollywood on Jan. 7.
On Jan. 8, the expectant star proves the best way to brighten up a dark ensemble (and hide a bump) is with an oversize mustard-colored coat while out and about in Korea Town, Calif.
The queen of street-chic doesn't let school runs dampen her maternity style. Here, she wears a Joe's Jeans tartan bomber jacket, gray tee, Paige Denim skinny jeans and burgundy heeled boots from her label, L.A.M.B., to drop off youngest son Zuma, 5, on Nov. 5 in L.A.
Look who's channeling the 1940s! With a head full of retro-style curls, the mom-to-be steps out Dec. 2 in a vintage-y military coat, brown scarf, Paige Denim silk-coated black jeans, black boots, cream bag and cat-eye shades to run errands in L.A.
Forget a simple LBD! Stefani bumps it up in a dazzling navy halter gown for the Wallis Annenberg gala in Beverly Hills on Oct. 17.
Tough and pretty combinations, in this case a silk bomber jacket and perfectly fitted floral-print trousers from L.A.M.B., are a style win for the singer as she leaves her son's school on Sept. 26 in L.A.
Proving they're the cutest couple ever, Gavin Rossdale complements his stylish wife – who's wearing a plaid L.A.M.B. trench coat, black top, Paige Denim jeans and black booties – with a gray ensemble to escort her to a doctors appointment on Oct. 29.
With a slight nod to mod, the rocker mom pairs a bright red shift with contrasting black-and-white pockets with knee-high boots, sunglasses and a prim handbag to walk her pup Chewy on Thanksgiving Day.
With just a hint of a bump, the hot momma takes a walk on the wild side in a bold leopard outfit and white open-toe heels (all from L.A.M.B.!) as she makes her way to a baby shower on Sept. 14.
Obviously Gwen Stefani can get away with wearing just about anything, but we're wondering if we would feel rad or ridiculous in these watercolor-print baggy bottoms.
Gwen Stefani lets her baby bump lead the way around Los Angeles on Monday.
Gwen Stefani, who recently announced she's having a third boy, stays stylish while heading to her acupuncture appointment on Friday in Los Angeles.
Never one to follow existing beauty fads, No Doubt's leading lady arrived at the awards show with tight blonde braids and a traditional South Asian bindi.
It's a term of endearment befitting the times: Stefani and Rossdale document their lip smack with a camera-ready kiss at the L.A. Zoo.
"My biggest accomplishment is my marriage so far," Stefani gushed to Marie Claire. "Because it's hard, everyone knows it's hard." The singer/fashion designer married Rossdale in 2002 and has two boys, with a third child on the way.
Gwen Stefani – who recently announced she is having her third boy – heads to the doctor for a checkup on Tuesday in Los Angeles arm-in-arm with husband Gavin Rossdale.
Gwen Stefani – who's possibly having her most stylish pregnancy yet – makes another fashion statement Wednesday after leaving an appointment in L.A.
Treat yourself! Mom-to-be Gwen Stefani is glowing after getting a mani-pedi Tuesday in West Hollywood.

NFL VP Grubman Worried About "Stalemate," Hopeful Vikings Remain In MNPosted by on October 20, 2011 – 6:25 am
It's a big week for the Vikings on the field, with 1st-round pick QB Christian Ponder set to start his first career game and with the Green Bay Packers coming to town. But it's been a big week off the field for the Vikings, too, as the stadium issue in Minnesota has come to the forefront.
The stadium issue in Minnesota is not just at the forefront of the Vikings perspective, either. Governor Mark Dayton has made the issue a priority this week, as have state lawmakers. And in yet another illustration of how important relevant and current this issue is, the NFL has gotten in on the act, too.
On Tuesday, NFL Executive Vice President Eric Grubman headed a group of League representatives who visited the Twin Cities in an effort to assess the stadium issue in Minnesota. According to Grubman, the mission was to get a status update on the progress of a new stadium for the Vikings and then to report their findings to the NFL's finance and stadium committees. Grubman also brought some good news with him, saying that the NFL believes a funding mechanism will be available for the Vikings and the State of Minnesota to help finance a stadium project.
Grubman met with reporters after meeting with Governor Dayton and Minnesota Legislators, and he had a couple of key messages. Grubman made it very clear that the NFL's visit to Minnesota was not to provide a directive to State leaders, rather it was to gain a better understanding of the current status of a stadium project. But Grubman was also asked about the Vikings future in Minnesota, specifically he was asked if there's a realistic chance of the Vikings moving out of Minnesota if resolution to the stadium issue is not reached in a timely manner.
"It's really not for me to speculate about the possibility," Grubman said. "All I'll say is this: we're worried about a stalemate. And a stalemate means there's no lease, or the lease is about to expire. There's no plan for a stadium, and there's an alternative plan in another city. That's a stalemate, and the alternative wouldn't include Minnesota.
"That is, in the way we look at it, a crisis. It's the Minnesota Vikings, and we're here to work on the Minnesota Vikings, not some other Vikings or some other franchise. Our job is to make sure that doesn't happen, to make sure that every possible step is taken to give the Vikings a great chance to succeed in this market."
Grubman went on to explain that it's not uncommon for the NFL to visit a certain city or market to assess the progress on stadium plans. Their presence "could run the gamut from an early fact-finding mission to a serious assessment," Grubman said. But he made it clear that the NFL views the stadium situation in Minnesota as a high priority at this time.
Asked how the NFL would respond to taxpayers' resiliency to fund stadium projects for NFL clubs in the current economic climate, Grubman acknowledged that man fans all across the country are enduring tough economic times. He even pointed members of his family who are just now entering the workforce and are finding difficulty in hitting the ground running.
"But I also know that great cities are defined by the great institutions that they support," Grubman said. "And the great institutions are a variety of things. People are attracted to cities not for the traffic jams. They're attracted to cities because of the great things in those cities, and those are not just their day jobs. They're attracted for the arts, the performing arts. They're attracted for museums. They're attracted for sports franchises.
"You have to decide what puts your city on the map, you're state on the map, in the way you want it to be on the map. And that doesn't just mean the Minnesota map. You're in a competitive environment for companies to locate, for people to locate, for goods to be bought and sold. And so that decision is really for Minnesotans, it's not for us. We respect the choices that Legislators and citizens have to make, and we hope that choice includes the Vikings here."

some people just do not want to pay for anything…….they oppose a one half cent tax to pay for stadium…….
Wake up and look around- gas prices fluctuate by as much as 25 cents overnite…..due to speculators on wall street.
the price for a loaf of bread has gone up by at least 10%…….
And yet the reublicans want to quibble over one half cent tax to support a project that will bring in jobs and revenue for years to come?
Oh, wait they just robotically say no to all spending…….I forgot….I assumed they were capable of thinking……..my bad.

Rock maybe if told Republicans its a Dome of Death … a place to hold mini wars and kill accused ctizens … a " regulation " burning pit …
Maybe then they would vote yes …
By the way how does SAFETY become a bad thing? Safety spun into evil regulations by Republicans …. Republicans hate 99% of Americans and still get 50% of the vote ….

Rocksalt, that's pretty much the mindset among Minnesota republicans. They don't want any new tax, regardless of how small it is. Their excuse is that they're being taxed to death, which I find laughable considering how small this increase is.

Who is in the draft room?
I bet it's Spielman, Brzezinski, and Frazier.
Then the rest of the coaches, scouts, and consultants are required to watch the draft, and be available for phone calls.
Of course they ALL have computers, and lots of prepared data

2004 Was the worst draft in Vikings if not NFL history.
2005 was 2nd worst in Vikings history.
2006 was a great draft, but Marcus Johnson was the only OL picked.
Cedric Griffin is the only DB remaining from 2003-2007. He's had 3 years to prove himself, and hasn't.
2007 was a great draft, however NO Offensive Linemen were selected and only one DB (Mike Macauley, who never even started a game for MN)
Total Offensive LInemen drafted 2003 to 2007: TWO, none remain on roster
Total Defensive Backs taken 2003 to 2007: 5 only one remains on roster
Cedric "Cornbread" Griffin
Your wonderful FRONT OFFICE is mostly to blame.

Adrian Peterson had 1298 yards last year with perhaps the worst offensive line in the NFL. That's the only possible reason he made the Pro Bowl, because they knew the Vikings offensive line was so bad.
Dear Titus and Mike B.,
Note the date above and the fact I was crying for a high pick or free agent for the OFFENSIVE LINE back on March 12th. That is about TWO MONTHS before
the draft.
Perhaps I am ahead of the gang when it comes to the VPs of Nosepicking, or the Armchair Quarterbacking Viking Scouts. These guys have a job to do, they cannot be like the AVERAGE FAN !
WAKE UP VIKING FANS…IT'S NOT JUST THE QB, OR COACHES. THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO PICK THE TALENT (and often they are picking their noses).

Later this month, Southern California's Metrolink will complete the first phase of implementation of a $1.6 million upgrade to its communication system that will provide passengers with more timely train schedule information and status updates at Metrolink train stations. The new system is now installed and operational on Metrolink's San Bernardino, Orange County, Inland Empire-Orange County and 91 lines.
Prior to the upgrade, information at the station was limited to current date, time and basic delay information. The first phase of the implementation consists of new automated messages that inform passengers when the next three trains are scheduled to arrive/depart as well as more timely information, including special announcements, track changes and delay notifications.
By mid-year, the new system will allow passengers to sign up for text messages and e-mail notifications with train status updates. The system will also be integrated with Metrolink's current social media sites, displaying the same information on the agency's Facebook and Twitter pages.
The second and third phases will implement the text-to-speech feature allowing Metrolink's Operations Center staff to send audible messages to stations. The second and third phases are anticipated to occur in conjunction with the implementation of Positive Train Control (PTC) scheduled for 2013. The third phase will link the communication system upgrade to the PTC on-board global positioning system to provide the most accurate and continuously updated train arrival and departure times at the stations.
