West Marine Selects Northstar Thin Plate Pure Lead AGM Batteries as a Top Pick for 2014
Printer-friendly versionPDF version Media Contacts: Laurie Fried West Marine 831.761.6944 Watsonville, CA (February 10, 2014) West Marine (Nasdaq:WMAR), the largest specialty Waterlife Outfitter of quality marine grade products, apparel, footwear and accessories, named the NorthStar Thin Plate Pure Lead AGM Batteries as one of its Top Picks for 2014. Never before has a battery manufacturer so ;cleverly engineered an 8D battery that has both the user and installer in mind. The "Thin Plate Pure Lead" manufacturing technology allows for superior cranking and reserve capacity, more cold cranking amps, plus four times more charging cycles than flooded lead-acid batteries. Pure lead technology also prevents the plates from sulfating; the number one cause ;of battery failure. "NorthStar Pure Lead Modular 8D Battery offers the best performance and is the highest capacity 8D available in the marketplace," said West Marine's Executive Vice President of Merchandise, Ron Japinga. "The modular design makes installation much easier and replacement costs lower." Arriving in West Marine stores this March, visitors can learn more about these exceptional batteries at West Marine's booth at the Miami International Boat Show, or on the web westmarine.com.

Time for towns to speak out
Municipal leaders told they'll have to fight for state aid
|Litchfield First Selectman Leo Paul Jr. Republican-American archive
NEW HARTFORD — Litchfield First Selectman Leo Paul Jr. has never been shy about speaking his mind before the legislature, especially on some of the tougher issues facing small towns like his.
Whether the issue is prevailing wage, or the pay scale cities and towns have to follow when funding municipal and school construction projects, aid to municipalities or mandate relief, Paul is determined to be heard when the legislature convenes.

" I give Mr. Paul credit for going before the Legislature regarding issues pertaining to municipal aid, prevailing wage, and mandate relief. Unfortunately Mr. Paul like other suburban leaders are fighting a loosing battle. The Legislature is controlled by Democrats. They owe their allegiance to the Unions and minorities from the large cities who elect them to office. Democrats will never allow Connecticut to become a right to work state nor will they increase funding to rural communities like Litchfield. "

This Maytag MacGyver Turned His Kitchen Into a Factory

3-D printers promise to put a factory on every kitchen table in America, but for those willing to think outside the stainless steel box, kitchen appliances and common craft materials can be used to manufacture a wide variety of products, from serving platters to silverware.
David Steiner discovered how much innocuous implements and mundane materials were capable of while studying for a masters degree at London's Royal College of Art. Instead of trudging into the school's workshops, Steiner remodeled his tiny kitchen into a microfactory and poured molten metal into molds made from cereal boxes, turned his blender into a potter's wheel that spun a 'clay' made of old newspapers, and retrofitted his washing machine with an embroidery hoop, transforming it into a rotational molding machine. The output of this extreme kitchen makeover is a provocative collection of plates, bowls, and light fixtures—as well as a forfeit security deposit.
The collection is varied but often impressive. The cork cups and resin plates are interesting conceptually, but the light fixture made from a bent cookie sheet is indistinguishable from some fixtures in modern showrooms. The appliances in his kitchen weren't able to match the tolerances of tools in his workshop, leading to relatively dull pewter knives, but allowed him to explore ideas that wouldn't have worked in the lab. "I think it would be pushing it to say the appliances were better than shop tools," says Steiner. "But, we didn't have a roto-molder in our workshop, so mine was better than nothing!"
In House also represents an interesting solution to the challenge of designing for increasingly small urban apartments. Most designers try to deal with space constraints by making smaller products, but Steiner's goal was to make full-size gadgets do more. "This particular project started from a desire to make the most of the objects and architecture I already have," says Steiner "Almost everyone has their own washing machine in the UK, and I was fascinated by the vast size of the object in relation to the amount of time we use it."
Why not avoid the mess, and potential emergency room visits, and just use a 3-D printer? "I think we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg of the potential of 3-D printing, and as the process gets better and, crucially, cheaper, it will become a very real competitor to traditional manufacturing," says Steiner. "But there will always be a place for handmade and crafted things. I like the fact that people feel empowered by being able to make their own stuff."
Considering the project required pouring molten metal onto a cutting board and spinning toxic chemicals at high speeds, it went pretty smoothly. "There weren't any near-death experiences," says Steiner. "But there were a few times my 'clay' flew off the wheel and ended up on the other side of the room." It's now clear we have people like Steiner to thank for the crazy number of warning labels on the simplest of gadgets.
The In House collection combines Martha Stewart's refined style and Alton Brown's experimental approach to the kitchen, with just a dash of hackerspace mixed in. Should MakerBot be afraid of Maytag?

This post is in relation to this thread, posted by my senior feeder school tech some time ago:
The workstations are all clean-build XP Service Pack 3, deployed from WDS and operating in a native Windows Server 2003 domain.
As with all primary schools, there is the usual plethora of wonderfully reliable software installed (even workshark!) - but none of the usual crud bloatware that comes with PCs from new such as the inevitable free PDF utility, google desktop etc..
It seems the workstation service on these machines is terminating randomly - there are no entries in the system or application logs to indicate why the service is stopping, or an application that may be tripping it up. The service just.... .....stops.
A reboot will bring it all back to life, but the fix isn't permanent and machines are having to be regularly restarted - not ideal in a classroom environment when all the teacher wants is for stuff to work as it should.
Does anyone have any ideas? I have a feeling it's related to SP3 itself but can't put my finger on it and a quick google turns up nothing useful.
Thanks in advance!

Nineteen years ago this month, Eric Holder was having a very different spring in Washington. It wasn't cruel or grueling. Conservatives didn't want his scalp and liberals didn't think he was trampling on civil liberties. In 1994, Holder was just into his tenure as the federal prosecutor for Washington, D.C. The 43-year-old had come to the U.S. Attorney's job with the credentials of a quiet careerist, joining the Department of Justice in 1976 and serving 12 years as a prosecutor before Ronald Reagan appointed Holder to be an associate judge in D.C. Superior Court in 1988.
As U.S. Attorney, Holder took over the prosecution of Dan Rostenkowski--"Rosty," the Boss, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. And Washington asked: Would this tall, thin, mild-mannered guy who everyone knew at the courthouse be able to put Rosty away--especially now that Holder had been appointed by a Democratic president who needed the lawmaker behind the passage of so many bills? Rosty's lawyer, the famed Bob Bennett, knew Holder, understood how tough he was and begged his client, the Chicago pol, to take a deal. Rosty refused and fired Bennett. That was a bad idea. Holder issued a searing 17-count indictment for everything from putting ghost jobs on his payroll to embezzling from the House Post Office. "Today's indictment of Congressman Rostenkowski should stand as a firm and solemn reminder that the Department of Justice has an unwavering commitment to hold accountable all those who engage in corruption," a much less gray Holder said in front of the microphones. Rosty eventually pled out and went to jail. Holder had distinguished himself that day as the Democratic prosecutor who took out a leading Democrat.
Of course, Holder now seems distinguished primarily by the mob out to get him. Arianna Huffington wants his head. So does Rep. Pete King, the New York Republican. And plenty of Democrats wouldn't mind seeing him go. He's been slammed for everything from the botched "Fast & Furious" case that left a Border Patrol agent dead to a warrant that named a Fox News reporter as a potential co-conspirator in a leak case. Thursday was a typical day for Holder. Holder's testimony before a routine Senate Appropriations Committee hearing for the Justice Department's budget was overshadowed by his announcement he would not seek Rosen's prosecution and defending but not explaining the revelation of a massive subpoena of phone records from Verizon.
The celebrated young man has become a bruised 62-year-old. Yes, his stewardship of the department includes many accomplishments from defending the health care law to putting terrorists behind bars. Yes, he still has the lean looks of the Columbia University basketball player he was. But now Holder's got that Washington-is-slowly-killing-me look, too. Still, the president still stands behind his close friend so no one close to Holder expects him to leave anytime soon--maybe the end of this year or the beginning of 2014 and only after the national security team is settled in and there's a new FBI director. But whenever he goes, Holder will leave with many friends scratching their heads over how a talent who came of age at the Justice Department and spent more time working in its halls than any attorney general in modern memory could have had such a rocky tenure.
The answer is that no one thing led to this moment. It's a combination of many factors including the impossible life of an Attorney General. Janet Reno, John Ashcroft, Alberto Gonzales--all had targets on their back and only Michael Mukasey, who came in at the end of the Bush years to clean up, was exempt and that's because he was there so briefly. The bigger problem, though, may not be the job but Holder's own inability to navigate the political shoals within his building as well as the world outside--Congress, the media and, ironically with a White House where he enjoys the closest personal relationship with the president of any Cabinet member.
"He's not very political, contrary to popular belief," observes Joseph DiGenova who was also the U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. A prominent Republican, a Washington fixture, and a fellow Reagan appointee, DiGenova has known and liked Holder for decades. He endorsed Holder for A.G. and said he'd do it again. But DiGenova also sees a number of missteps -- most notably Holder's failure to navigate the politics within "Main Justice," the term of art for the department's headquarters on Pennsylvania Avenue where zealous careerists can put an attorney general in jeopardy. DiGenova believes Holder should have stood up to the department's Criminal Division's unprecedented naming of Fox News's James Rosen as a co-conspirator instead of signing off on it. DiGenova chides Holder for refusing to turn over more documents to House investigators in the Fast & Furious case, which led to a contempt citation against Holder. He notes that department lawyers always advocate turning over as little as possible but an attorney general needs to know better. By contrast, DiGenova hails Holder's dropping the federal corruption case against the late Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska as the attorney general's "finest hour"--a time when the AG knew how to rebuff the overzealous careerists in the Public Integrity Section where Holder had begun his career.

Dead Zone Pollution Is Growing Despite Decades of Work, So Who's the Culprit?
Continued from previous page
"Sometimes it's portrayed we're out here dumping fertilizer for fun," he said. "But if you pay the bill, why, you don't use more than you need."
Nationwide, farmers are getting more grain out of their fertilizer, according to the National Corn Growers Association. Nitrogen use has decreased 38 percent in terms of pounds per bushel of corn, said Rod Snyder, director of public policy for the trade group.
Nevertheless, corn farmers are using as much fertilizer per acre as ever on their high-yielding crops, according to federal data. On average, farmers applied 58 pounds of nitrogen per acre to corn crops in 1964. By 1985, that number had grown to 140 pounds per acre, where it remained in 2010.
In addition, more acreage is being planted as corn prices boom, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data. In 2012, farmers planted 96 million acres of corn – the highest level in nearly 70 years, and up nearly 22 percent from a decade earlier.
"The primary cause [of nitrate pollution] is row crop agriculture, and the primary culprit of that is corn.
That's being exacerbated by the fact that corn is expensive right now. People are taking areas out of conservation and putting them into corn production," said Matt Rota, science and water policy director for the New Orleans-based Gulf Restoration Network.
Farmers use many methods to reduce runoff: planting cover crops, adjusting the amount of fertilizer and when it's applied. Such conservation practices in the Upper Mississippi River basin reduce nitrogen loss by an average of 18 percent per acre, according to a USDA report.
But the same report found that only 14 percent of cropland consistently had good nitrogen management.
"What we are showing is how bad the problem would be if there were no conservation," said Lee Norfleet, a USDA soil scientist. "If there is an uptick, it would be a lot worse if a lot of (conservation) practices had not occurred.
In addition, Norfleet said, it takes time for farmers to adapt to the changing genetics of corn, which needs less nitrogen now. Farmers who don't adjust could end up over-applying nitrogen at the rate of 23 pounds per acre.
Other sources of nitrate also may have increased.
The Missouri River basin, which includes the cities of Denver, Omaha and Kansas City, grew by more than 1.3 million people between 1990 and 2000, now reaching more than 11 million people.
In addition to crops, "there's also animal feeding operations, sewage treatment plants. Petrochemical industries discharge into water. And then urban runoff," Rota said.
Home use of fertilizer for yards and gardens nearly doubled between 1987 and 1997, although it was just 1 percent of the total nitrogen, according to the USGS nationwide study. Nitrogen from manure increased almost 5 percent and nitrogen from the atmosphere, largely from the burning of fossil fuels, increased 13 percent.
Reliable data on another urban source of nitrate, sewage treatment plants, are not available. And while septic systems are responsible for about 12 percent of the nitrate in the Missouri River watershed, there is no data on whether it has increased.
Experts say none of this information provides definitive answers about what is driving the increases. Nitrogen applied to the ground may never even reach the Gulf, depending on weather patterns, vegetation, waterway conditions and many other factors.
"There isn't clear evidence to support the hypothesis that it's ag or urban or wastewater treatment plants," Sprague said. "We don't have a good understanding of how these things have changed over time."

My First Year On Pointe
Professional Ballerina's Megan Fairchild, Michele Wiles, Sarah Hay and Tiffany Hedman reminisce about dancing on pointe for the first time.
By Laura Di Orio of Dance Informa.
When most young girls see the image of the iconic ballerina they aspire to be, they see a few of things: The tutu. The tiara. The pointe shoes. It's every little girl's dream to dance to beautiful music and appear to gracefully waft across the stage. A first pair of pointe shoes is like a rite of passage. Sometimes it's harder than it appears, but mostly, it is as rewarding as one would think. Here, some of today's top professional ballerinas share their stories and experiences of their first year on pointe.
At what age did you first start pointe?
Depending on technique, strength, readiness and other factors, each dancer may start pointe work at a different age. Both Megan Fairchild, principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, and Michele Wiles, former principal ballerina with American Ballet Theater and now artistic director of Ballet Next, started when they were 11 years old. Sarah Hay, soloist with Semperoper Ballett, and Tiffany Hedman, soloist with Boston Ballet, began at the age of 10.
How did you feel when you found out you were ready to go up on pointe?
A dancer's teacher will tend to make the judgment call on when each student is ready for pointe, but when that time comes it is always exciting.
"It's like Christmas morning!" Fairchild recalls. "It's the most exciting thing in a young dancer's life! I remember wanting to do everything perfectly. I took forever sewing my first ribbons and elastic, as opposed to now, when I rush through in five minutes."
Hedman remembers the anticipation of her 10th birthday, when her teacher, Margaret Hord, would allow her to go on pointe, at an age when a dancer's bones would be more developed and ready. Also eager, Hay remembers sneaking around in the autographed shoes of a principal dancer, Mary Barton, before she had pointe shoes of her own.
Wiles mentions that although a dancer's entry into pointe work will require a lot of hard work, it is still a big milestone of which to be proud. She recalls the time she saw Darcey Bussell perform Swan Lake with the Royal Ballet and instantly knew that was her dream: to be the Swan Queen. "The first time you try on a pair of pointe shoes is a very special experience, and I knew it was a big step toward becoming the Swan Queen," she says.
How do you remember feeling after putting on your pointe shoes for the first time?
For any dancer, her first pointe shoes are foreign objects, but whether painful or not, the excitement alone is usually enough to mask any other sensation.
"Putting them on at the store was really exciting," Hay says. "I am very fortunate to have square toes, so pain is not really an issue. My mom said I was hopping on one foot at the store."
What was your first pointe class like?
Most pre-pointe and pointe classes will start slowly, with many exercises facing the barre and often with much individual attention. Each dancer may progress and get accustomed to being on pointe at a different pace.
"I took my first pointe class with a lot of girls from my school at another studio because we weren't allowed to start at 10," says Hay. "In my first pointe class, I was asked to demonstrate. It was fun for me."
Wiles, another natural, says, "I remember being surprised that I wasn't totally lost after my first time on pointe and that some things actually did come naturally."
Hedman, so excited for her first class, says, "I felt like a grown-up ballerina! Funny thing, the very first day I had a pointe class, I actually had the chicken pox. I wanted my mom to take a picture of that first day, but I felt so unphotogenic. But when I got my pointe shoes on, I felt so pretty and elegant it didn't matter."
What do you remember about your first full year on pointe? Were some things especially easier or harder for you?
New pointe dancers may begin to notice some changes in their feet or body over the first year on pointe. Bunions and blisters may sprout up, or new muscles may be sore.
Wiles says that, during her first year on pointe, she was still experimenting with what shoes were best for her and also dealing with blisters. "I also remember really noticing differences in my right and left foot," she adds. "The left foot was strong and able to do fouetté turns from the very first class, but it didn't look as flexible as the right. My right foot wasn't as strong. The hardest part was dealing with these differences and the blister pain."
During Fairchild's first year, she remembers pointe work as something that came somewhat easily for her. But, she says, "I do remember within the first couple weeks I had already developed tailor's bunions (the bunion of the pinky toe), which hurt at first, but eventually the pain went away. I vividly remember my first pointe recital, a 'Stars and Stripes' kind of ballet. We did the polka on pointe, crossing in two diagonals, and I loved it. I still love hopping on pointe."
Hay, an eager first year pointe student, says, "I remember that I was just so ready to do more and I would try really hard things, definitely incorrectly, but I wanted to do the tricks! The hardest part was learning how to be patient and to learn how to do things correctly."
Similarly, Hedman says she learned more about how to work in a smart way and not necessarily always the hardest she possibly could. "In order for a young body to withstand hours of training and not get too fatigued and begin to work wrongly out of exhaustion, it was necessary to learn that thought," she says. "The easiest part of my first year? Well, that was in class learning more each day and strengthening my body and feet to achieve my dream. The hardest part by far was waiting until my next lesson!"
What advice do you have for dancers who are starting their first year of pointe?
"Pace yourself," Fairchild advises. "It can be dangerous if you rush to do things too quickly. Listen to your teachers, and work on good technique in the shoe."
"It is important to take your time identifying the right shoe and to get a proper shoe fitting," says Wiles. "It will really save you a lot of pain! Remember, this is all a process. Eventually, I figured things out, and my blisters turned to calluses. To this day, I am still experimenting with my pointe shoes. I am recently working on a new custom shoe from Capezio."
"Be patient," Hay encourages. "You have to get strong and learn how to approach things with the right amount of energy. And don't let anyone tell you that you aren't made for it. Everyone can improve."
"Never look to others and compare your progress," Hedman says. "We all have a different path to take, and staying focused on your goal will ultimately get you to be able to live out your dream. And enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, for every moment you are able to do what inspires you is a gift."

While I might have grown up in the suburbs, I was a City boy at heart. I wanted to live in New York or LA and that was that. This is until I met a girl who's family lives in Texas. Earlier this year I went and visited Texas for the first time. I also went to my first rodeo at the Fort Worth Stockyards. It was there I was introduced to the great spectacle that is Western culture and the rodeo/cowboy way. That night, they collected information about where everyone was from and if you bought a program, you would get free Justin boots. Soaking in that great atmosphere and seeing all the real cowboys wearing Justins, I told my girl that we MUST buy a program and try to win some boots. Despite derisive cheers when the announcer mentioned someone in the crowd was from NJ, programs were bought and hopes were high for the boots. Alas, I did not win but ever since, I have been on a quest to get me some boots so that when I get them and walk around in them, I will be reminded of the great time in Texas and the great pair of boots ALMOST won.
I can still remember way back when i think i had every color you could think of but the ones that stands out in my mind are my red lace ups! I am a hispanic and i was the only little one in my family that wore western boots with anything.I grew up loving country music and wished for many years to meet me a "REAL COWBOY" but that didnt happen but i am definetly satisfied with my boot wearing hubby that i have! I may not have as many boots now but believe me i have been looking to purchase some new ones...I just love all styles BOOTS!
Three years ago my husband told me that I needed a new pair of boots. I had been wearing my trusty Jusin Ropers for years (and I do mean YEARS). I told him that I had just gotten these broken in and I didn't want a new pair. It didn't matter because he came home with the pink camo gypsys. The minute I put them on I knew I had to retire the ropers. I then told him that I needed a black pair so a week later he brought those home. I am lucky enough to work in a setting that allows me to wear them and I do just that....EVERY DAY. I haven't worn anything other than these two pair of Gypsy boots in over three years. They are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn and they are perfect for stirrups. You don't have to worry about getting hung up on any of that tacky tread that other brands have. I am asking for a new pair for Christmas only because I want an 11" to wear with my skirts. I am so excited about getting a new pair...I can't wait!
I got a pair of waterproof gypsies. It was about 48 degrees outside, so when you are riding over 55mph, thats a lot of cold wind. I will vouch for these boots for being motorcyle friendly in cold weather, very warm, waterproof and also windproof! My feet get cold very easily, and they were the warmest part of my body. I wear these all the time, I walk around for hours with no foot pain. These boots are extremely comfortable, and very light weight. I am picky with what I put on my feet and these are awesome boots.
I just recently got married and my wife happens to be a little more country than myself and I tease her about it quite a bit. But for my first birthday, the first one since we have been married, she got me my first pairs of boots. And guess what? I love them. Country livin' is alright by me.
Back in January I had the pleasure of meeting a co-workers son. He and I are the same age. He was raised on a cattle farm and boots were the only thing you'd ever see on his feet. We started talking and in the dead of winter I was wearing the ugly rubber shoes with holes...also known as CROCS. He would get so frustrated saying I'm going to get frostbit and whatnot. My dad was a country man, always sported the wranglers, belt, cowboy boots, and truckers hat...oh and of course the plaid shirt...but I had NEVER worn boots. My new "friend" kept saying he was going to get me a pair of boots...he tricked me into giving him my shoe size by saying "If you don't tell me I'm never talking to you again...and when you're feet fall off I'm going to call and say 'I told you so.' " A few days later he came to visit me and behind his back he had a box...proceeded to open it up and "BAM!!!" were my first pair of boots...and THANKFULLY they were Justins. He got me the Justin Gypsy's in Saddle Cow and I'll never wear anything else again. These have been the best thing I've ever put on my feet. I have a bad problem with my toes going numb due to poor circulation but these are amazing. I love these boots and have picked out the next pair I'm getting from the Punchy line. My 2 year old son loves these boots as much as I do.
I have a pair of the Steel toed work boots (style # 0766) as a matter of fact I've had, don't know the exact count. Let me figure this out. Here we go, for the last 15 years I've had a new pair ever year and a half. So simple math puts that to be 7 and 1/2 pair in 15 years. Cant remember what I did with that 1/2 pair but I'm sure I put it to good use. These are the most comfortable work boots ever!
At the begining of october i started working the cotton harvest out of Gruver Tx, and i quickly discovered that i needed a good sturdy pair of boots, so this past weekend i purchased my first pair of Justin Gypsy boots. I love them they have some pink on them and suit my personality perfectly! Well last night i was up on top of a cotton module getting some netting untangled, when i went to get down i landed on a roll of netting with the front of my right foot and my toes touched my ankle. Needless to say i went to the emergency room where the doctor took some x-rays of my ankle, i was lucky and walked away with a severely sprained ankle. The doctor told me before i left the hospital that had i been wearing sneakers or a lesser quality boot chances are i would have snapped my ankle in two due to the sever angle at witch my ankle flexed. So i just wanted to thank y'all for making such a high quality boot and let you know that you he made a lifelong customer out of me! Thanks again! Sarah Lilley
I bought my first pair of Justin boots in 1979. I have had to replace the soles and heels on them a few times but they were always a great pair of boots. I finally ripped the upper leather when trying to pull them on last year. I haven't replaced them yet but am looking for another pair. Thanks for the many years of comfort.
For many years I have ordered Red Wing due to a narrow width, something that no store offers. Two years ago I decided to search for something different. I didn't know that Justin made work boots but knew of their quality from cowboy boots I bought many years ago. I bought two pair. One pair for work : #745 and one pair for my bike: #763.
I have been more than pleased with both. They are very well made and lighter than Red Wings. My work boots are put through the test in the 40+ hours a week in remodeling. I will wear out the toe before the sole is anywhere close to needing to be replaced. I will get more than two years use from my work boots. That has never happened. The boots for my bike? I'll just wait until I wear out the sole/heel to have them replaced.
We all know how hard it used to be to break in new boots. If they are ill-fitting, they can be the worst and then you are stuck with them and sore feet.
Recently, I bought my very first pair of Justin boots. I have never been so satisfied with new boots like I have been with these! From the first time I tried them on I knew that I was gonna buy them. Where have I been? Not checkin these out apparently!
Thank you Justin for such remarkable boots and I will tell everyone I know how much I love these boots!!
I went to pick up my niece from high school and was in my western wear. I am a petite lady wearing my pink and brown Justin Gypsy boots.
I had to wait because she was taking her PSAT exam. So I took a seat to wait and a couple of teachers and administrators thought I was a student. They kept complimenting me on my boots then asking me why I was not in class.
Quite embarrassing since I am a 38 yr. old female.
But Justin keep making those boots they keep getting attention!!
I am a 40% disabled veteran. I was hurt overseas. I tore muscles from my spine picking up a soldier and carring him down two flights of stairs. Cause my spine to be unstable. Then our next PT test i developed a spondy which destroyed the disk. I work retail and am on my feet 8 to 12 hours a day. And since I work in the western lifestyle, I am required to wear cowboy boots. Which is awesome. But when I got back from deployment and put my old boots on they killed me. See I have nerve damage from my waist down and I hurts real bad to be on my feet for long periods of time. So I bought all sorts of boots, nothing seemed to work. So I started looking around again. Then I started talking to one of the Justin reps, Scott Turner. To make a story short when we met up in Deadwood for our Manager Meetings. Well he told me about the new Bent Rails by Justin. I had to at lest try them. And I must say I am thankful I did. I wore them all day and was thankful I could stay on my feet and move as fast as I did. Thank you and thanks goes out to Scott
I wear boots everyday. Every pair of boots I buy i have to oil so they will fit better and last longer. Not my Justin boots! I put my boots on and they are the most comfortable and longest lasting boots I have ever bought. . . everyday!
Well hello y´all!! I´m a cattle rancher, Senepol Breeder in Brazil, and I would just like to let y´all know how I first fell in love with Justin Boots. I was an exchange student in Taylorsville, MS, back in 1995, a 17 year old brazilian country boy who for the first time in his life was leaving mom and dad´s home. And guess what? Strait out of the country, to a new culture, a new world, and sure scared to death!!! Taylorsville High School was a hard place to fit in, specially when every single kid there had never had no contact with a foreing son of a gun. Them sure were hard times!!! Picking up the accent wasn´t easy, strangest slangs for somebody who had studied the most proper English back in Brazil, even had to drop some classes ´cause I just couldn´t understand a single word the teacher was saying.
Well, long story made short, country music was my best teacher of the redneck english that was spoken there. And along with country music, which is one of my passions for life, there came Justin Boots to help me fit in that hell called THS. That´s right!!! Although pretty much every kid there dressed like rappers, some of them were hard working farmers who started to accept me the first time I walked in the classroom wearing my very first pair of Justin´s!!! Wow, nice boots you got there stranger!!! LOL!
And just to thank Justin Boots is why I let y´all know my little story, how my boots helped me fit into the american culture, the american way of life. I still got that first pair I bought in Laurel, MS, in a store named More Than Boots, kept as a treasure to me. Them boots helped me through my path not only protecting my feet, but most of all, by introducing me to a new world. Thank you Justin Boots!!!
So I've always had a strong opinion about girls, and their sanctified boots. Don't get me wrong, I know everyone has their preference, but here is my reasoning. They wear them to a concert, wipe them off, then stick them in their closet until the next time they want to put on the "cowgirl image". Boots deserve to be worn, and wornout :)So just to prove my point, for my senior pictures I put on my dirty, muddy, actually worn, old-fashion Justin boots and cute dress to show what glorified boots really look like. :)
I have never owned a real pair of Justin boots. As a child i had a pair of boots i walked around in. Every time my three year old wears hers it reminds me of how special boots can be to a child. We strut around like we are on top of the world almost invincible. As an adult now, i have had Justin boots on my wish list for the past couple of years. How can a girl From Texas not own a pair of good quality boots? They would feel so nice on my feet i can't wait to own a pair, and hopefully soon.
Ever since I was knee-high to a football I have been wearing boots! I remember my first pair were red and it took an act of congress to get them off my feet... Wit those boots I played in many mud puddles, walked thru plenty horse and cow droppings and of course wore them to daycare... Once I out grew them I got a new pair. At this time is when I started riding horses and trying to be more like my dad! I've been riding horses my whole life and helping with the cattle... I also have show pigs heifers and helped with other show animals all with in the 4-H and FFA. And my favorite pair of boots to wear during showing and handling the animals was my Justin FFA chuckas... I still have them to this day... So when it comes to boots for me now days they have to be able to over take the days in the cattle pen or cleaning out stalls from the horses all the way to the dance floor at the Texas Hall of Fame!
I had such pain in my heels for months! It was only getting worse and I'd run out of options for shoes that I could wear not only to work but being a local performing musician, I especially had almost no stylish or otherwise choices to be pain free for the times I'd perform on the weekends. I was diagnosed with chronic achilles tendonitis...wowo, was it all gonna come to an end? I couldn't do my job anymore, I couldn't play music standing up, all my dreams I had seemed to be coming to an end because of the intense heel pain. And I mean intense!
My doctor gave me a protocol to follow involving daily therapy and the proper footwear. He said to start wearing a heel like in a biker or cowboy boot. So I headed to the nearest boot store and I must have tried on 100 different pairs of biker, work and cowboy boots, none were even remotely comfortable. I finally tried on a pair of Justin Gypsy boots and I almost fell out! I was oohing and ahhing as I walked around the store because I had found a boot with just the right heel size and comfort is an understatement! The real test was going to be the next night at a local club where I would play music for four hours. Justin, you are an absolute dream come true! Not only did the comfort level exceed my expectations but I didn't even think about the pain! Now I've bought another pair for work. I've been telling everyone how awesome the boots feel and they look awesome as well! So my dreams have new life now that Justin boots allow me to walk pain free! Thank you Justin!
One year I had gone to the county rodeo with a guy. It was a date, but I wasn't into him. Sparks didn't fly, things didn't click for us.
The rodeo was in the middle of the summer every year, and it was hot out. Before I had gone to the rodeo I was at the beach with my friends. I was wearing my favoirte pair of flip flops. I didn't have time to go all the way home and get my boots, so I just work my flip flops to the rodeo. I was litterally the only one there without boots. It almost got imbarrassing when my date would introduce me to his friends, and they would look for my boots and find flip flops. They would laugh and tell my date, "Dang dude, your dating a hippy." I would explain where I had been and even bet them I could ride a horse better than them wearing flip flops.
Anyway the rodeo went on for three more days and I wore my flip flop the whole time. Mainly to bug my date and make his friends laugh. Even though my poor boots were itching to get out and get some dust on them.
It was the last day of the rodeo, and everybody was packing up to leave and head back home. I was helping my date pack his stuff up. I thought I had met everybody there was to meet, but one more of his friends showed up.
My boyfriend of two years came to visit my then date and me. :) I was never fully introduced to him at first. He just kind of stood there like a dear caught in the headlights. I watched him and waited for him to tease me about my flip flops too. He didn't! He finally said, "Hey I like your flippys, I can see your bright pink polished toes." I laughed and smiled at him. He went to get us something to drink, and my date took me and left before he got back. I felt so bad. I told my date that was really mean to do and he said, "Don't worry he will get over it." All I knew about him was the truck he drove. A sliver Dodge.
Every sign that the rodeo was in town had been gone and I didn't see my date much at all after that day. It had been a month later when I was at work. This sliver Dodge came roaring into the parking lot. This guy jumps out with a bottle of Mt. Dew and he found me. He said, "Here's your drink I got you." We started dating then. :) I wore my boots on our first date even.
Since then I had been everywhere with my boyfriend. California, Idaho, Washington, Arizona. My boots and my flippys go everywhere with me. But the best place we went was this years county rodeo, and this time I wore my boots.
I've loved Justin boots for a long time. When the gypsy line came out years ago I loved them, I would save a small chunk out of my paycheck in order to buy a new pair of gypsy boots. A girl can never have too many boots. I wore the boots everywhere barn, church, school. I even wear them in college.
I'm a paramedic student in college. First day my instructor said "you need to have boots" First thing that came into my mind, 'whoot I have another excuse to buy a new pair of boots' Although the teacher went on to mention the specifications of the boots. Although the Justin boots didn't match his criteria, I make it a point to wear my Gypsy boots to class.
Well, here's my story....I always wore Ariat's...until my mom had bought me a pair of Justin work boots, and I was hooked, I loved my boots, they were so comfortable and durable...well, they were the last thing my mom had bought me for my birthday, she passed on in 2002, we found out on Nov.10th which is my birthday that she had cancer, and when she passed away on Sept. 9th, 2003, I retired my boots and kept them with me...since, they were sentimental, but through some unfortunate events, my boots got stolen....and I have never seen them again...and it breaks my heart to know 1 that people can be so bad and two, that, they were the last thing my mom bought me before she got sick an passed away...and I wanted to keep them forever, as they were sentimental....I still to this day, cry when I think about it....as it breaks my heart....that not only did I lose my fav. pair of boots, but I lost everything I owned, clothes and all...so, in a way I put this post in memory of my mom, Carolyn R Barnes, 2-10-51 to 9-9-02....
I bought a pair of bull shoulder Justin boots in 1984 and still ware them to this day. After six or seven replacement souls and heels there more comfortable now then ever. I'll never buy another brand of cowboy boot.
For years I've been wishing for a pair of real cowboy boots. I've never had a pair before so this is my first pair. I will never buy any other kind of boots now!
Bought some brown Justin boots for out at the ranch. It came to my wedding day. Where I had previously bought some white high heels to wear. While getting ready to leave for my hair appointment. I through out the heels grabed my boots and headed out the door.
Since 1879 people have shared their boot stories with us. They shared them in person, by telegram, by letter and lately, by email. Now, you can share them here. Every boot has a story. We want to hear yours.

Once There Was a Boy is a poignant, universal story of friendship, temptation and reconciliation. The disarmingly sweet, simple language in this whimsical children's picture book belies an emotional depth that allows the author to reach out to both the young, and the young at heart. This stunning picture book is transformed into a gently touching grown-up story by the use of sophisticated allegorical elements, such as the heart as love or friendship and the sapotes as forbidden fruit.

|I am trying to decide whether or not to opt for a color glaze on my cabinets which I just purchased. (The cabinets are on hold while I decide on which finish).
To be more specific, I am trying to decide between the plain Maple Cream Glaze (basically an antique white) or the Butterscotch glazed in the photos below:
With the butterscotch glaze, the glaze color is thicker in the cabinet crevices, giving an aged look. I like the look but I worry that over time, if dirt accumulates in the crevices, these cabinets will look very dirty. Does anyone have experience with this type of finish?
Also, how would the plain cream glaze age vs. the linen white (just a plain white)?
Thanks in advance.

|Misslivvy, in my last house I had painted and glazed cabinets (vanilla bean with cocoa glaze) and this was never an issue. I lived in the house for 5 years and they looked as good when I sold the house as they did the day they were installed. Go for it! You will love the richness and depth of dimension that the glaze gives them! Please post photos...of all the things I loved about my old house, the kitchen was at the top of the list and I look forward to living vicariously through your pics! :-)

|Not sure if this is what you're really asking, but the topic of glaze on painted cabs comes up occasionally. Many people, including me, feel a glaze is dated and/or makes the cabs look dirty. I want to scrub glazed cabs when I see them. Yes, glaze hides dirt. But is that what you really want? I'd rather see the dirt and dust and clean it.
I painted and glazed my old kitchen cabs 12 years ago as a temporary fix for the dark cabs until we could do a full reno. (The look was somewhat in style at the time.) They always looked dirty. I was tired of the look soon after doing it, but it was better than the depressing dark cabs. My new cabs are painted white, no glaze. Simple and elegant.
That being said, if you really love glaze and don't plan on selling anytime soon, then do what you like. If you're hesitating, I suggest not doing it.
|I agree with everything Breezygirl wrote. The glazing is (IMHO) a "faux" look that is dated. But as to real experience, my sister has glazed white cabinets in her kitchen. They are 8 years old, and were quite expensive when she had the kitchen done at the time. Now the cabinets just look shabby instead of "antique". She regrets choosing a glaze, and feels that if she'd just chosen a plain white paint, her cabinets would still look fresh and clean. She also says she doesn't know herself why she wanted an "aged" look when she chose her cabinets - her house, though not new, is not vintage either. So that's her experience with glazed cabinets. I hope that helps your decision.
|misslizzy - I'm planning on the same brand of cabinets in the Maple Cream Glaze. Not because they are glazed, but because I am looking for a creamy white, not a stark white (which I feel the Maple Linen is).
Also, the Butterscotch really has a yellow-gold tinge to it and I didn't want that feel in my kitchen (I'm going with a grey-green paint that has a more cool feel). The Butterscotch is warm and brownish and, well, kind of has the dirty feel breezy talked about above.
What wall colors are you going with? What's the overall feel of your kitchen? Do you have other color/decor elements picked out?
The answers to those questions might help you decide between the Maple Cream and the Maple Butterscotch.
|Hi akchicago, can you please clarify if the glazing on your sister's cabs are a solid antique white color (like the Maple Cream Glaze in the photos below), or if the glazing is the kind that is darker in the crevices?
|Misslivvy - in answer to your question, I would say both. Though the photos on your links are so small, I cannot say whether they are like what is shown in the photos. As I said, her cabinets are meant to look aged. Though her home isn't that old, so she now is kinda "what was I thinking?" about it. So, overall her cabinets are glazed, so when you look at the raised panels where there are no crevices, they are glazed solid. Then when you look at the crevices, it's darker, mimicking wear from age.
|Hi, Miss Livvy, you're right, there are two looks achieved with glaze.
This confused me too. One cabinet maker suggested that if I wanted maple, I do a glaze not a stain, because maple doesn't take a stain well. I thought he meant the aged, in-the-crevices kind of glaze mentioned above. He said, no, it could be an all-over glaze. He said the difference between a stain and a glaze was that a stain penetrates the wood whereas a glaze does not.

|I just saw my white glazed cabinets today and I love them! They are BM Cloud White with a licorice glaze and I was worried they would look dirty or dated, but the glaze is in the crevices and not on the door front as much, so the white looks clean but the glaze gives depth. I cannot tell you how they wear over time as I haven't even had them installed yet. But I think they look clean and fresh but the glaze adds warmth.
- Posted by GreenDesigns (My Page) on Fri, Aug 19, 11 at 1:22
|The whole point of glazing is that they look dirty and used from day one. For someone with an older home, they may feel that something a little less NEW shouting is more appropriate to the home's age. Really though, in the days when the home was new, that older home would have scrubbed and painted them fresh if their cabinets if they looked that dirty!
Glazing was a big trend 10 years ago during the housing boom. The trend was toward more ornate, showy, and fou fou kitchens like the faux Tuscan look. The current trend is away from anything ornate at all. Simple lean lines and modern styles are in. If someone isn't comfortable with the full blown modern look, then the transitional clean lines with little ornamentation can be a bridge between the modern and traditional. Thus the popularity of shaker cabinets.
But, don't let what's popular tell you what you like. If you like something that isn't fashionable, if you wait long enough, it will come around again to be fashionable. There are plenty of 1970's walnut kitchens with vanilla countertops that could pass for current installations if the appliances were updated. Concentrate on making your layout work for you and creating good bones, and the decorative elements will play a secondary role to the actual food and family that your kitchen contains.

|Misslivvy - I think that in order for us to truly help you with this decision, you should respond to Editionk's questions above. Cabinets are usually the most expensive part of a kitchen renovation. They're also of course much harder to change in the future than, say, appliances or faucets. So before you plunk down all those dollars, you should consider what does the rest of your kitchen look like, what kind of decor is your home in general, is your home contemporary or traditional or in-between, what look are you going for in the kitchen. Also, what sink are you getting - a modern stainless steel, a white cast iron, a farmers apron sink or something else? Please let us know.

|After considering the responses, I am leaning towards either a pure white or a solid antique white (no artificial darkening/shadowing in the crevices). The photo posted of the glazed kitchen is gorgeous, but I am too chicken I think given the cost of cabinets.
Regarding the rest of the kitchen, most likely I will go with an oak hardwood floor (to match the rest of the house it will be stained a golden & pecan color), stainless steel appliances, and I would like to keep the main color scheme relatively neutral. Most likely a travertine looking backsplash and beige to medium brown paint colors. I already posted a link to the cabinet door so you can see the style which is traditional-transitional, full overlay. The ends of the cabinets will be done in beadboard, as will the sides of a small center island. I was planning to do beadboard/wainscotting all the way around the breakfast/eating area to continue with that idea.
The house is a 1942 Spanish style in Southern California, one of those Hacienda looking style homes, although it is kind of transitional since 1942 is getting out of that era.
The link below shows an antique white kitchen that has many elements of white mine would probably look like if I did antique white.
On the other hand, I think pure white cabinets could also work:
My main concern is about how antique white vs pure white cabinets age/wear over time, which is why I was originally trying to stay away from talking about the rest of the kitchen. I worry the antique white will start to look dingy if they pick up dirt over time. I want a white kitchen in some way shape or form, I just want to pick the right shade of white that I will be happy with over time.
Thanks for everyone's help. Can someone please tell me how to set up my profile to be notified when someone responds to my thread? I looked in the settings and I'm not seeing it.

As we noted last week, "When A Woman Loves" is a beautiful song, despite the fact R. Kelly didn't put any sort of modern twist on it or give it his usual naughty-minded spin.
Perhaps the soulful singer is taking the advice we previously offered about exploring more mature territory and leaving the trash-talk to the youngsters?
"When A Woman Loves" was directed by Jeremy Rall and R. Kelly.

Wright hopes for Tractor Boys recall
On-loan Sunderland midfielder Jack Colback has filled in at left-back for the last two games but he was exposed during the second half of the 3-1 defeat at Peterborough in midweek and boss Roy Keane may revert to the more orthodox figure of Wright at Hillsborough. Further forward, Daryl Murphy will start after scoring in each of his three appearances for the club but fellow Sunderland loanee David Healy may be dropped after a fruitless evening at London Road. Pablo Counago is favourite to partner Murphy at the weekend as Keane's side face a third of four consecutive away games. Ipswich slid into the bottom three with Reading's win at Crystal Palace on Wednesday night and need a positive result against Alan Irvine's side. Keane's only injury concerns are goalkeeper Richard Wright, who is close to a return from his knee injury, and winger Luciano Civelli, who will not be back until September.
