J.Crew's handbag designers have been on fire lately with all kinds of classic shapes and bright colors but if you want to keep your summer bag simple, the J.Crew Boardwalk Tote and J.Crew Farmer's Market Tote are easy on the eye and for under $50, are easy the wallet.
Archive for the 'Cute Purses Under $50' Category
Athleta Boho Beaded Bag
It's spring catalog season, the time of year when I am sent catalogs full of dresses and swimsuits in an effort to get me to buy things, which I often do. While most of these catalogs are apparel-based, many also carry accessories. So, I have decided that for each catalog I receive, I'll do a post about the best purse or handbag they have to offer. First up: Athleta.
Athleta's vibe is casual and sporty so the bags they carry tend that way as well. My current favorite is the Athleta Boho Beaded Bag. The outer layer is woven toyo straw with small wooden beads and it's lined with a green striped cotton. Not something you' d carry to formal occasions but it would go perfectly with jeans and flip flops or a flowy dress, which is pretty much my entire spring and summer wardrobe. You can get the Athleta Boho Beaded Bag from Athleta for $48.
How to Rock Neon Handbags on a Budget
Looks like the trend of bright pinks, yellows, greens and oranges is continuing through spring and summer and neon handbags are a great way to add a pop of color to an outfit without having to rework your whole wardrobe. If you'd like to give neon a try but don't want to spend a bunch, Target has some great options. My favorite thing about these neon purses is that they are covered in cotton material instead of cheap-looking, fake leather PVC. You can get the Pink or Orange Xhilaration Pearl Top Handle Tote from Target or $19.99 and at that price, I might have to get one for myself.
Jason Wu for Target
Jason Wu is one of those designers who doesn't get as much attention as he should (including from me!) and I am really excited that he is the latest designer collaborating with Target. Based on The Budget Babe's sneak peaks, which you can see here, here, here and here, the Jason Wu for Target collection seems to have several handbags and girly dresses, two of my favorite things. I am hoping that since Wu is not as well-known, we'll be able to avoid the whole Missoni for Target disaster and I'll be able to pick up some great items without the chaos. The collection will be in Target stores on February 5.
How about you? Are you excited about Jason Wu?
L.L. Bean Signature Bags
Holiday crunch time is quickly approaching and if you're still looking for gift ideas, check out the options at L.L. Bean Signature. This younger, hipper, less lumberjack line from L.L Bean has some simple and affordable bag options that would be good gifts for almost anyone. The Metallic Heritage Tote is on sale for $99 and the Saltwash Canvas Clutch is $39, both available from L.L. Bean Signature.
L.L. Bean Canvas Shoulder Bag
If you're looking for a summery, knock-around bag that's easy to clean, look no further than the L.L. Bean Canvas Shoulder Bag. Available in summery brights and two-tone, this convertible shoulder and cross-body bag will fit into almost any casual setting: the farmers' market, the baseball game, the campground, you name it.
Available from L.L. Bean for $49.95
Athleta Punch Beach Bag
Another turquoise bag that screams summer and is about 1/100 the cost of the Gucci Leather Tote is the Athleta Punch Beach Bag. This screen-printed cotton bag will look great with a sundress or a swimsuit and would work at the beach or just running around town. And at this price, if it lasts you through the summer, you've gotten your money's worth. Buy from Athleta for $49.
On a side note, this picture from the Athleta catalog kind of cracks me up. I mean, who reads a book like that?

Patrick Administration Awards $100,000 Gateway Cities Grant to Methuen
BOSTON – Thursday April 3, 2014 – Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) Secretary Rick Sullivan today announced a $100,000 grant to help the City of Methuen develop design and construction documents for field improvements at Ranger Stadium.
The funding is in addition to an earlier Gateway Cities Parks grant of $500,000 to build a new club house at the stadium. This design grant will also produce a detailed budget for the improvements, enabling further conversation about how those funds might be made available.
"The Patrick Administration remains committed to strengthening communities throughout Massachusetts, especially those in our urban areas," said Secretary Sullivan. "The restoration of Ranger Stadium will make the area more inviting to residents and visitors for years to come."
The grant was awarded through the EEA's Gateway Cities Parks Program. Established in 2009, the program was designed to create parks and enhance recreational facilities in 26 communities, which have been declared Gateway Cities, across the Commonwealth.
"This funding will expedite design for the main athletic field and will provide us with solid figures for construction costs so the Methuen legislative delegation can advocate further for grant opportunities to assist with field construction," said Senator Kathleen O'Connor Ives. "I greatly appreciate Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rick Sullivan's support and interest in enhancing Methuen's recreational facilities."
"This immediate injection of state funding comes at a critical time and provides a great shot of momentum for the many parents and teachers so dedicated to the completion of this project," said Representative Linda Dean Campbell.
"I want to thank Secretary Sullivan and his staff for their attentiveness toward Nicholson Stadium and the concerns it has caused among countless Methuen families. Their commitment to secure funding for stadium improvements is crucial and I stand with the rest of the Methuen delegation and community in celebrating this progress," said Representative Diana DiZoglio.
"The Gateway Cities Parks grant offers a great opportunity to support recreational facilities in the community," said Representative Frank A. Moran. "I am pleased that Methuen has been awarded a $500,000 grant to help construct a new field house with restrooms, locker rooms, and a concession stand at Methuen's Ranger Stadium with an additional $100,000 for design."
"Thank you to Governor Patrick, Secretary Sullivan and our State delegation for supporting this exciting project. With our new high school scheduled to be complete this year, we can now begin to provide the badly needed upgrades to our stadium facilities. This money will allow us to continue to move forward with all phases of the project," said Mayor Stephen Zanni.
The Gateway City Parks Program is a flexible program, providing municipal officials with a variety of funding options for all phases of park development. There are 26 Massachusetts cities eligible for the program, which targets communities with population greater than 35,000, and median household incomes and educational attainment levels below the state average.
Funding can be used for activities and costs such as brownfield assessment and cleanup, park planning and recreational needs assessments – including the development of open space and recreation plans, activities that were not eligible for state parks funding prior to the Patrick Administration's creation of the Gateway City Parks program. Communities can also use the grants for acquisition, design and construction of parks, greenways, and other recreational facilities.
Since 2009, the Patrick Administration has invested over $46 million in the program. In 2014, the program is funding $9 million worth of park construction projects, providing jobs and enhancing economic vitality and quality of life. In fiscal year 2015, the program will pay for nearly $18 million in park construction in the Gateway Cities.
Since taking office, Governor Patrick has made a historic investment of more than $325 million in land conservation and parks creation. This has been accomplished by focusing on three goals: preserving working farms and forests, protecting large natural landscapes for habitat, and investing in urban parks.

Help us bring the Terminator 2: Judgment Day pinball table to game consoles and mobile devices for a whole new generation to enjoy! Read more
Help us bring the Terminator 2: Judgment Day pinball table to game consoles and mobile devices for a whole new generation to enjoy!
About this project
Here at FarSight Studios, we have over 20 years of experience developing video games on consoles, phones and tablets. We are also pinball fanatics. For the last seven years, we've been developing modern videogame recreations of classic pinball tables. We have licenses from the original manufacturers of the tables (Bally, Gottlieb, Stern and Williams) to do this. Our latest project is called the Pinball Arcade and is currently available on a wide variety of platforms: the iPhone, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire, Ouya, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PS Vita and Mac, with versions coming soon for the PC, Nintendo Wii U, and PlayStation 4. Check us out at www.pinballarcade.com.
Here's what the gaming press has to say about the Pinball Arcade:
"Mobile Game of the Year." –G4TV
"Top 100 product of 2012." -PCWorld
"FarSight Studios has been making digital pinball for nearly a decade, and Pinball Arcade is the culmination of that effort and experience… a must-own" -IGN
"An impressive title, and one that is bound to please pinball fans" -148 Apps
"As close to the pinball experience as you will ever get in the palm of your hand" –Pocket Gamer
"This game is superb along with great presentation" –Inentertainment
"Authenticity is the name of the game here, and Farsight has absolutely nailed it" –GameLive.TV
"Pinball doesn't get any more real or fun" –Gamezebo
"Simply one of the best pinball games I've ever played" –Touch Arcade
"Superb: A hallmark of excellence." –Destructoid.com
"The most fun I had all weekend: Pinball Arcade" –CNET
"The Pinball Arcade provides a safe virtual home for your pinball worship, complete with accurate re-creations of real tables and appropriately realistic physics." –Giant Bomb
"It's a carefully curated selection, designed to showcase some of the best-loved tables from the heyday of the pinball industry" –Euro Gamer
"Passion is contagious. When you do things with passion, enthusiasm, and drive, it shows." – 1985FM
"FarSight's steel balls have something special that sets their title apart – realism… you can trade in your heavy pocket of change for a pocketful of some of the best classic pinball tables ever created." –Push Squar
The process of digitizing these tables is very complex. We first acquire the actual physical pinball table we want to digitize. We want our videogame version to play exactly the same as the table played when it was new, so we start with a restoration of the table. We then strip the table down to the bare wood playfield and take high-resolution digital photographs of every part. We use these to create three-dimensional computer models of each of the components on the playfield. When the modeling is complete we export the data into our graphics engine, which displays the table on each of our target platforms.
Next, we implement the table logic and sound. We do this by emulating the
electronics from the original pinball tables. Most complex tables were
controlled by what are by modern standards primitive computers. We've
created ROM-emulation technology that allows the same program that controlled
the original table to run on our target devices. This means that every
rule, sound effect and light sequence is exactly correct in our digital
version. The idea that you can run the original code that controlled a huge
cabinet-based pinball machine on your iPhone is pretty cool!
The last step in digitizing a table involves tuning the pinball physics. We've
continuously improved our pinball physics engine for the last seven years and
we're very proud of it. We can individually control reflection angles and
physics parameters for every section of any component on the playfield. We use
the original table as reference when doing this to ensure accuracy. Finally,
the table goes through a review process where it's critiqued by pinball experts
and approved by the table manufacturer. The end result of this painstaking
process is an exact digital recreation of the pinball table you can play on
your handheld device or in your living room!
What we're most proud of is that we're preserving these tables for future generations to enjoy. We can remember when these tables were in every arcade, pizza parlor and bowling alley, but they are becoming increasingly rare. If you find one, chances are it's not been well-treated and many features are burned out or broken. If you're a pinball fanatic like us you can buy one and restore it, but they are expensive, maintenance-intensive, and there are fewer of them every year. In fact some of these tables can cost more than $15,000! We want everyone to be able to appreciate these tables, not only people who can afford to spend as much money on a pinball table as a car. Chances are very good that our children will never get the opportunity to appreciate the great pinball table we did- unless these tables are digitally preserved.
Some of the greatest pinball tables were based on licensed properties. Often when a manufacturer created a special new table they'd base it on a popular cultural feature of the times: a movie, a band or television show. Their original license to use these properties have long since expired, so when we want to create digital versions of these tables we must research who now owns the rights and negotiate with them. Sometimes the discussions are easy and sometimes they are very difficult. In addition if the table features actors on the backglass or playfield we must secure licenses to use their likenesses (sometimes from their estates if they are deceased). Some table also featured popular music of the times that we must secure composition and performance licenses for. It can be a daunting task!
One of the licensed tables that we've always wanted to digitize is Terminator 2: Judgment Day. This table was released by Williams in 1991 and is unquestionably one of the greatest pinball tables of all time. It was designed by the legendary Steve Ritchie (who also designed Firepower, Black Knight, High Speed, and Star Trek: The Next Generation). T2 was the first game by Williams to use a dot-matrix display. The table was also the first game to feature a video mode and a swing out cannon that can be fired by the player. It's one of our favorite tables ever!
We've succeeded in negotiating all of the licenses we'd need to digitize Terminator 2: Judgment Day and bring it to the Pinball Arcade. Unfortunately there are several licenses involved: in addition to the Williams license, we need a license for the Terminator 2 property, the actor likeness of the Terminator (Arnold Schwartzenegger) on the backglass and play field, and the right to use the actor voiceovers during gameplay. When we add up the costs of each required license and calculate what we'd have to charge for the table, we've realized that the Terminator 2: Judgment Day is just not commercially viable. The more we charge for the table the fewer people will be able to buy it- and our goal is to expose as many people as possible to this great table, not just a select few.
Here's where you come in! The licenses for Terminator 2: Judgment Day will cost $66,000 (and that's just for the licenses- we'll cover all of the development expenses ourselves). Thanks to the amazing generosity of pinball fans throughout the world, our previous Kickstarter project for the Star Trek: The Next Generation pinball table raised $7,000 more than we needed for the Star Trek: licenses and we're applying this towards the license costs of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. If we can raise the remaining $59,000 we'll be able to digitize Terminator 2: Judgment Day and preserve one of the greatest pinball tables of all time. If we don't reach our goal no credit cards will be charged, but if we raise more then the goal we'll be able to digitize other licensed tables as well, including the next table we'd really like to pursue- Bally's incredible classic The Addams Family!
We've put together a tempting list of rewards to say "thank you" for helping out. Plus the top five contributors will get their initials featured as the default high scores for the table, immortalizing them as true pinball fanatics! Please join us!
Risks and challenges
We've digitized over 20 of these tables, and we are very confident in our ability to deliver a digital version of the Terminator 2 table that our fans will enjoy. However, the process of creating these tables is very complex and delays sometimes occur. We're targeting a release date of August 2013, but it's possible this date might slip if we encounter unforeseen problems in development. Also, the lead time for deployment on some platforms (particularly the consoles) is longer, so it is likely the table will release later on these platforms.
In addition, we have had problems in the past with deployment on some platforms. In particular, our publisher for the Xbox 360 version of the Pinball Arcade filed for bankruptcy last year, and we have been unable to ship new tables for the 360 since then as we fight in court for the return of the publishing rights. We are highly confident that we will be able to deliver the Terminator 2 table on the Xbox 360, but we can't say with certainty when that will be.
Learn about accountability on KickstarterFAQ
The licenses we need for Terminator 2 are NOT easy to get. We have a unique opportunity to acquire them, but it must be done NOW. We can't go into detail about the particulars but if we don't act soon the opportunity will be lost, and it might be quite some time (if ever!) before we'd be able to put this together again.
Our preferred PC distribution channel for the Pinball Arcade has always been Valve's Steam platform- we feel pinball is a great fit for it. We had thought that getting the Pinball Arcade approved for distribution on Steam would not be difficult, but just after our first Kickstarter project Valve announced that all new Steam games would be required to go through a Greenlight process before being approved. This took awhile, but we were finally greenlit in April, and since then we've been hard at work creating a Steam version of the Pinball Arcade. The first Beta build of the Steam platform was released to internal test last week! We will be conducting a closed public Beta of the Steam version in July- if you are one of our Kickstarter backers entitled to Beta access on the PC platform, watch your email for information on how to get access! We are targeting an August release for the Pinball Arcade on Steam with all of the current table packs available.
Microsoft is the only platform manufacturer which forces us to go through a separate publisher rather than publishing the game ourselves. We have been unable to release new table packs for the Xbox 360 since the publisher we were using declared bankruptcy last year. We finally have some good news to report- the publisher (Fillpoint/Crave Entertainment) has now filed a reorganization plan with the court and is scheduled to emerge from bankruptcy this summer. When this occurs we will submit all of the unreleased table packs to Microsoft for approval and release. We plan to offer discounted Season Packs on the 360 to make it easy for our 360 customers to get caught up on tables. Thank you for your patience as we've worked to get this issue resolved- it's been as frustrating for us as it's been for you!
We're waiting to see if Microsoft relaxes its policies on only allowing retail publishers to publish digital games on Xbox One before making a decision on whether to support it. The publishing problems we've had on the Xbox 360 have been very frustrating for our customers. Even before our 360 publisher filed for bankruptcy there were many delays and complications caused by having an unnecessary middle-man between us and the platform. We certainly don't want a repeat of that- our fans deserve better!
During the month of July. We apologize for the delay, but it's taken some time to implement the technology for hosting tournaments that aren't open to the general public.
Will the Terminator 2 be part of Pinball Arcade Season Two? What if I already own a Season Two Pass?
Yes- if the license is funded, the Terminator 2 table will be part of Season Two. If you already have a Season Two Pass and you back the Terminator 2 project, as a "thank-you" we will give you any other table of your choice (now or in the future). If you have a Season Two Pro Pass we'll give you the Pro table of your choice. We hope you'll back the project regardless- without the license you won't get to play the Terminator 2 table even if you have a Season Pass!
We support Beta testing on any platform that does not require special hardware. On some platforms, specialized development equipment is required to play any version of a game that has not received final release certification. These are mostly console platforms like the Xbox 360, Wii-U, PlayStation3, PlayStation4, and PS Vita. You can't Beta test on those platforms because you don't have the hardware required to run the Beta build. You can Beta test on any of the other platforms.

This country has become a dirty pool; it is no longer a river which continues to clean itself just by its flowing and moving into new lands, into new territories. This country has stopped all movement, perhaps five thousand years ago. It is not a contemporary land, it is lagging behind so much that it seems almost impossible that it can be made contemporary.
Ask your husband why he is annoyed with me. Have I hurt him? Have I disrespected him? Have I in any way harmed him? And if he feels that my ideology is wrong, he has to be very deeply acquainted with my ideology before he can say that. If he is not even willing to listen to me, that simply shows the impotence of his soul.
There is an ancient story of a man, whose name had become Ghantakarna because he used to hang two big bells by his ears. While walking, those bells would ring and he would not hear anybody - he did not want to be disturbed in his convictions, in his faith, in his beliefs. People have forgotten his name: Ghantakarna means a man with bells hanging by his ears. But this man is very representative of almost all the Indians. They are all Ghantakarnas, particularly your husband.
You are saying, "He is very much annoyed with you and your sannyasins, and with me, because I crossed all the limits." The Indian husband thinks that the wife is only a possession. He does not give respect to the woman as a human being. He is just an owner, a possessor; the wife is only a private property, he has purchased her. The very institution of marriage in this country is a permanent prostitution and nothing else.
Naturally he will be annoyed with you - you have proved more intelligent, more daring. You have risked your relationship, you have risked your future. You have gone ahead of him, you have proved him to be a pygmy in comparison to you. Naturally he is annoyed with you.
Husbands, particularly, have lived in this country with the idea that the woman is a slave and they are the masters. Their arrogance and egoism are such that they have been telling women, "Your god is your husband; there is no other god for you." Millions of women had to be ready to be burned with their dead husbands, because the husband was suspicious that after he has died, his woman may fall in love with somebody else. He wanted to dominate her even when he is dead, and the only way was that the wife also commits suicide.
And those women who refused lost all their dignity in the society, because the society is made by men, by the husbands. They were treated as corrupt, because if they had loved their husbands they would have jumped into the funeral pyre. They should have been burned alive - that would have been a proof that they loved the husband.

I've been Robbed!
by Crockett
posted Feb 27 2013 2:17PM
Not too long ago, I was asked to create a team Jersey for a soccer team. The team captain is a fan of WWE legend Bret the Hitman Hart, so I pitched the idea, The West Pittston Hitmen. He loved it, and asked if I could put together a quick design for him. I said sure, and whipped something together rather quickly.
I posted the logo on the Froggy 101 Facebook fanpage about three months ago. Well this morning, I was shocked to discover a T shirt company is selling a shirt that has a design strikingly similar to mine! Below is the side by side comparison. What do you think? Coincidence or Copycat? If they did use my idea I wouldn't care, in fact I would be flattered! Still going to buy the shirt.

I hope I managed to post my question the right place! I have a body consisting of a bunch of mass-points in ℝ[itex]^{3}[/itex], and when torque is applied to this body, I'm interested in finding the force that must have caused the torque based on the point of application and the torque vector, which are given. I see the form; [itex]\tau[/itex] = r[itex]\times[/itex]F quite often, such as it is seen in wikipedia (which offers a nice overview btw). I understand that it is not possible to calculate F, but I find it hard to believe that F[itex]_{\bot}[/itex] is impossible to calculate since it should be unique, yet I don't see such an equation anywhere. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, Miki
Re: Perpendicular force calculated from torque and point of applicatio Calculate an arbitrary F which satisfies the equation, subtract the component of ##F_{||}##.
Re: Perpendicular force calculated from torque and point of applicatio I see, clever :) May this arbitrary F (how about we call it F'?) be obtained by; F' = r×[itex]\tau[/itex]/r[itex]\bullet[/itex]r ? I'm feeding the result I get back into the form [itex]\tau[/itex] = r×F and as I've realized, the [itex]\tau[/itex] and r I am given are not perfectly perpendicular so my [itex]\tau[/itex]' is similar to [itex]\tau[/itex] at best. But that method seems like it would be correct! Thank you very much! Miki

Just to clarify the situation, gcc-2.95.x when configured with `--enable-languages=c' will build fine on a full NPTL system (ie: NPTL libs and headers) However, when configured with `--enable-languages=c,c++' the build will fail in the libstdc++ area. This has been covered on the LFS lists in the past.

Week 15's must-watch games
13 Dec 14Three-and-out: Previewing Week 15's must-watch games
We take a look at the big games this week in the NFL, including the Cowboys-Eagles, 49ers-Seahawks and Broncos-Chargers.
We take a look at the big games this week in the NFL, including the Cowboys-Eagles, 49ers-Seahawks and Broncos-Chargers.
Philadelphia's resurgent rushing attack leads way in rout of Dallas.
Observations from Thursday night's preseason game between the Steelers and Eagles, won by Philadelphia 31-21.
Who will win the battle of the Keystone State?
It's a different era for running backs. How are two of the league's best defining success?
Get caught up with the biggest storylines in the NFL Friday.
After a full year under Chip Kelly, are the Eagles a team to believe in?
LeSean McCoy said to look at the numbers in deciding the league's best back. We did.
Are Alabama's running backs better than these five NFL units? Of course not.
Eagles RB LeSean McCoy denied a locker room rift between Desean Jackson and Chip Kelly and said he didn't know why the Eagles let the pro bowl wide receiver go.
The Saints overcame their road woes to get their first playoff win away from New Orleans in franchise history. Next week, however, they'll face a much tougher test.
During the Philadelphia Eagles' 24-22 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, Eagles RB LeSean McCoy proved again he's one of the best backs in the NFL and broke multiple franchise records. Click MORE for the primary takeaways from Sunday Night Football everyone will be talking about Monday.
The Dallas Cowboys (8-8) hosted the Philadelphia Eagles (10-6) with each team's playoff hopes on the line. The Eagles walked away with an NFC East championship, while the Cowboys will start their off season. Click MORE for the best takes and analysis during Sunday Night Football.
All the Chicago Bears had to do was win Sunday night against the Philadelphia Eagles to clinch an NFC North division crown. The Bears were crushed 54-11 by the Eagles. Click MORE for the best takes and analysis during Sunday Night Football.
A snow-swept field wasn't enough to stop Philadelphia Eagles RB LeSean McCoy. His 217 yards against the Detroit Lions placed McCoy in the MVP conversation.
Nick Foles' streak without a interception nearly came to an end, but an Arizona penalty kept him on pace to tie a record set by Peyton Manning and the Eagles remained ahead of the NFC East pack.
LeSean McCoy dealt with a sore hamstring but became the NFL's first 1,000-yard rusher Sunday as the Eagles held off the Redskins to win their first home game since Sept. 30 of last year.
"I think LeSean is trying to press too much and trying to hit a home run on every play instead of letting it develop." — Eagles coach Chip Kelly on LeSean McCoy's dip in production.
"There have been just 32 100-yard rushing games through the season's first eight weeks — down from 54 last season and 50% less than the previous low in the past decade (48 in 2009)."
Donovan McNabb and Randall Cunningham had long but not-quite-fulfilling careers in Philadelphia, and Reggie White dominated but left to win a Super Bowl in Green Bay. That leaves a hard-hitting safety as Philly's favorite.

Phelan: Rooney wasn't ready
Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan appeared to contradict Sir Alex Ferguson by claiming Wayne Rooney "was not ready" to play against Everton.The England international has been in the media spotlight for days after lurid allegations about his private life surfaced last weekend and issued a statement asking for privacy at a difficult time.Ferguson said he left Rooney at home rather than allow him to run a potential gauntlet of abuse from fans who used to adore the striker when he wore a blue shirt.However, Phelan suggested that there were other considerations in the decision not to take the 24-year-old back to Merseyside."Wayne wasn't ready to play so we didn't play him," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.

She became hung up on the classic American sports car after her father nonchalantly tossed the keys to his 1975 "vette" at her and asked if she could go to the local store to grab a loaf of bread. The car's acceleration, the smell of its exhaust and the feel of its engine made that grocery trip like none other. The Chevy Corvette has left years of memorable experiences for many drivers, and now the American sports car is in its seventh generation and celebrating its 60th anniversary since it first went into production.Throughout those years, the famous two-seater sports car has found its way onto American driveways, racing tracks and pop culture. The Corvette was selected as the pace car 11 times for the Indianapolis 500, has been featured in songs like Prince's "Little Red Corvette" and even made some big screen appearances like the 1978 "Corvette Summer." Corvettes are even anticipated to show up as Autobots in Michael Bay's "Transformers 4."To celebrate six decades of this American car, auto enthusiasts like Interlicchia give a must-read list of the top 9 reasons why Corvettes rev up people's systems.1. It's the accessible sports car50 years ago, Gene Beenenga found himself on a Chevrolet showroom floor in LaSalle-Peru, Illinois, and the 1963 Split-Window Sting Ray Corvette caught his eye. A memory rushed back to him as he recalled the exhilaration he felt driving around with his high school friend in a Corvette years earlier. When he saw the Sting Ray's sleek body and design, pure desire made him take the plunge to pay the listed showroom price of $4,875. Throughout the years he has gotten offers from sellers to buy up the classic model, but the 72-year-old says the car gives him too much pride to let go of. "Doesn't every youngster want the mystique of owning a high-performance car?" he asked. "This model of car, being the Corvette, was accessible for the average-income buyer, and still could deliver on that thrill of a high-powered sports car."2. It's a car for men and womenInterlicchia was a stay-at-home mom for 15 years before she got her first job, her first paycheck and then her first Corvette, a 2001 Pewter Convertible. After falling in love with her father's Corvette in her teens, she knew she had to have one. During the months of April through October, when she is driving around Webster, New York, with the top down, she says she and her car know how to turn heads. "Most people are surprise when they see a woman driving it. It has long been known for older men driving this model car. That is why my license plate reads 'IPAY 4IT,'" she said. 3. It melts the stress awayAgnes Grubbs' son, Mack, introduced her to his first Corvette back in 2000 and took her out for a spin. "The next thing I know, he had me take the wheel. It was silver with a black convertible top and the top was down at the time. I guess that is when I got hooked," she said. The 58-year-old has been driving Corvettes for the past four years. Between them, she and her son own three Corvettes now, and she says there is just something about cruising in one that melts her stress away. "Sometimes I drive them to work and if I have a stressful day, I can get in these cars, take off, and my stress level goes way down." 4. It's an attention grabberCalvin Burgart, 70, took his driving test in his teens with his grandmother's 1942 Studebaker. It had no power steering, none of the works, and he still passed. While attending graduate school at the University of Tennessee, Calvin Burgart came to the revelation that he could take out a loan and buy a Corvette, so he ended up purchasing a 1966 Corvette Roadster in Nassau blue. At the time it had no power steering, brakes, windows, seats, "A man's car," he described it. The car has had some upgrades, and he still drives it around San Diego. "'Nice car' is what I get at most stop lights every time I drive it. And in gas stations it's 'Is that car for sale?'" he said. "It is the oldest car marque made in America that has remained true to its origins."5. It represents the American Dream Matthew Colver and his wife decided to get a sports car after their kids moved out of their California home back in 2001. After seeing the top down on a Corvette, he says there was no other car as beautiful around. He and his wife decided to order a customized 2002 Corvette Convertible. "I remember driving it across the desert on I-40 and getting it up to 120 mph before my wife noticed how fast I was going and she yelled at me to slow down. That was fun," he said. He says owning and driving the Corvette is like fulfilling a dream. "I remember when the '66 Stingray came out when I was a kid and I thought that was the coolest car I ever saw," he said.6. It's a perfect fit for twoAllen Lineberry, 57, and his family were doing their last family vacation with his wife before his two daughters were to move out and start college. They were heading to Chicago, but stopped at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Lineberry decided to make a little gamble while touring the museum and bought a raffle ticket for the just released C6 Corvette. "My wife and girls could not believe I would spend a $100 on a small piece of paper ... but I figured it was as close to a 'vette as I would ever be," he said. After their road trip, Lineberry got a phone call that he had won the car in the raffle drawing. "This was perfect timing, it just has two seats and its just enough," he said. 7. 'It's a piece of American history'After graduating Grantham University with an MBA, Jim Zingg decided to reward himself with a C7 Corvette, which he named Lailani. When he was stationed in Germany for work, he decided to bring his Corvette with him to Europe so he could travel around with a piece of American history. "I've always liked Corvettes. My high school buddies own a couple and I was at a place in my life where I wanted one. I searched for almost two years to find the perfect one," the 41-year-old said. "They have the best of both worlds -- style and beauty."8. It's a social experienceAt 12, Eddie Hicks would see his friend's uncle, Harry, drive around town in a Corvette, a new model every two years. "Everyone in town would wait with anticipation to see what the next one was like," he said. It was his lifelong dream to own a car like Uncle Harry's. Upon retirement, Hicks, 71, finally got a red 2013 coupe. "I drive it around town, a much bigger town. I can see people pointing and talking about my Corvette and I wonder if they are pointing at me, like Uncle Harry, and saying 'One of these days I am going to get me one of those,'" he said. "All sports cars look good, but a Corvette is truly 'America's sports car.' The history, the clubs, the events and most importantly just the fun of driving it," Hicks said.9. It's a car you can pass down for generations Dave DiVito, 40, was introduced to his first Corvette when he was 5 years old. His father took him to see a yellow one. From then on, he and his father worked on restoring, detailing and participating in Corvette shows with the Corvette club, forging a relationship and hobby between the two. He owns a 2004 Corvette Z06 Commemorative Edition now, and when he had his own two daughters he shared with them a passion for Corvettes. "They enjoy helping me wash the car. They pick out Corvettes when we are driving, and they have numerous Hot Wheels Corvettes and a Barbie Corvette," he said. "The Chevrolet Corvette has been a part of the family for over 35 years. Keep on vettin!"From a timeless classic, to an affordable buy, Corvettes have been a part of some people's lives for decades, and they continue to leave an impression on car enthusiasts.

Lactation is an interesting dream symbol since it is uniquely women who participate in this activity in waking. Dreams about lactation may reflect archetypal gender identity concerns. A woman who dreams of this may see herself as fulfilling a mothering role. This may be literal, as in wish-fulfillment, or figurative, as in mothering a man in a romantic relationship.
Some women have anxiety about their ability to provide adequate milk after childbirth. In these instances, dreams of feeding a child may be visualizations of these concerns.

The boys' 31st District seeds are now set.
The annual district meeting between the four schools was pushed up to last Friday because of a three-way tie for the top seed in the tournament. The teams met at around noon for the draw between Henry County, Gallatin County and Owen County — Carroll County was already guaranteed the fourth seed after an 0-6 district mark during the regular season.
In basketball tournaments designed for the smallest 125 schools in Kentucky, Shelby Valley and Newport Central Catholic proved to be the top teams in the All "A" Classic state tournaments last week.
After winning two basketball games last week, the Eminence Warriors have doubled their wins from last season and are showing signs of turning the corner with six games remaining until the postseason.
It clung to their backs. It was big, mean and had sharp teeth. But last Thursday night, the Eminence Lady Warriors shook it off.
With the 51-26 win over St. Francis, the monkey is now officially off the Warriors' backs. After starting the season at 0-18, it was their first feel-good moment of the year — better late than never. That monkey can now go mess with another squad.
Finishing a tough three-game stretch with losses to Shelby County and North Oldham last week, the Henry County boys' basketball team has now dropped three straight and are an even 11-11 overall heading into the final month of the season.
Earning their fist basketball win of the season in dominating fashion, the Eminence Lady Warriors went up early and never looked back in a 51-26 outing over visiting St. Fancis last Thursday night.
The Henry County girls' basketball team evened up its overall record at 9-9 with a 51-50 win over Trimble County last Thursday night, but it took an overtime to get the job done.
The Ladycats built a 12-point lead in the first half but Trimble clawed its way back into the game and tied the score with 15 seconds left in regulation on a 3-pointer. Henry then outscored Trimble 7-6 in the overtime period to come away with the slim one-point victory.
Eminence High School football standout TJ Cooper has been nominated as an Old Spice Red Zone Player of the Year, according to a recent press release submitted by EHS coach Steve Frommeyer.
Coaches from across the nation are naming one of their players as Player of the Year with each player nominated receiving a certificate to acknowledge the accomplishment. Each player is then eligible to be selected as one of 50 national Red Zone Player of the Year and be honored with a full-page feature in a national print publication.
Before the South Oldham game last Thursday night, Derek Springate told his players "we'll either come out ready to play or we won't." When his squad took to the court a few minutes later, he did not like the response he got.
The Wildcats trailed for much of the game and lost 67-44 in what Springate described as a poor performance in his team's only game last week. It left the Cats with an 11-9 record and improved South to 15-5.
On the verge of its first win this season, the Eminence girls' basketball team is running out of time.
The Lady Warriors, who have no seniors and had to move up middle school players to the varsity level due to injuries, are 0-17 with 10 games remaining in the regular season. Last week, the Warriors lost to powerhouse Anderson County 80-14 on Tuesday and narrowly missed that first win in a 38-31 outing against Silver Grove on Saturday. Both games were on the road.

Went to take my OG and noticed this stuff floating around just wondering if its normal, if so what is it? Is it ok to take a reading with it all at the bottom?http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h3...w/DSCN0500.jpg
"How come things that only happen to stupid people keep happening to me?" - Homer J. Simpson
It's called trub...it's the proteins from the brew, it's also has hopscum as well as hot and cold break material..It's normal, it's the stuff that settles both in the bottom of the brew kettle and also in the bottom of the fermenter...it is perfectly normal. Most of us though try to avoid getting it into our sample, since we like to drink it after we take a reading. I use a santised turkey baster to draw mine, and I get my sample after I have racked to my fermenter and before I pitched my yeast. Using the baster you only draw a few ounces from the top with each suck...it leaves most of that behind. But everything's fine, so relax!
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Awesome thanks for the quick advice Revvy. I've been using the theif to take my samples but its kinda a pain to drain so mabey i'll give a baster a try! thanks again
It looks like you got a good cold break. Maybe I'm strange but I actually like to see a nice cold break in my hydrometer tube. It is normal (when you do it right) and it's not a problem taking an hydrometer reading.
I got alot of that in mine this time since I went Extract. Hopscum etc..
folgen Sie die Reinheitsgebot oder die Deutschen reinheit gesetz? ***No longer have time to keep up with all my batches***
I used to use the Theif as well but decided to try the baster this summer...it works great for me...I would love to find a loooong oldschool baster though, mine is a little short.(I know I'm going to end up with that taken outta context and quoted in the memorable quotes thread aren't I? )
Aw c'mon Revvy, give us a little credit for maturity, wouldja? Oh, and nice monster truck you got, really dig it.
Cheers, Kurt
I musta accidentally said something right, man... I wouldn't've missed that thread for worlds! Nevermind about monster trucks, I gotta be nice to you now.

Search engines seem to track our entire lives. Some also trawl the web for images. Here are some that Google found on 11th March 2013. Click the mosaic for today's update - there are lots to explore. Formed in 1979 at the Southampton Boat Show by a group of junk rig enthusiasts, the JRA (Junk Rig Association) is for its members and about their boats and their rigs. We aim to: promote the use of the junk rig by encouraging members to organise 'rallies' and 'junkets' (see About Us) and via our tri-annual Magazine and this site; encourage the development of junk and related rigs, the building or conversion of boats to the junk rig, and the use of vessels with the rig or its derivatives; create an international community of people who've already 'junked' their boat, are thinking of doing so, or are just interested in learning what it's all about.
Summing that up, our main job is to get the rig talked about. Former Chairman David Tyler certainly helped there: the Ocean Cruising Club recently awarded him their Rose Medal "for the most meritorious short-handed ...and exceptional voyage on board Tystie [from the UK to New Zealand]. You will have inspired many others, some of whom may well adopt a junk rig." David's follow-up voyage to and around Alaska was tracked here. Tystie and David are now in Canada.
We were formed in the UK, and although our 'office' address and banking remains in the UK we are run by an increasingly international Committee via the Internet. A number of posts become vacant every year, at the AGM, so if you choose to join you could also put your name forward to help run the 'club'. It doesn't run itself. Our membership is now more than 50% outside the UK. Click the chart for detail.
Minke Luna - owner Ben Luna
Minke Luna is moored in Evans Cove in the Deer Harbor/West Sound area of Orcas Island, in the Pacific Northwest of USA. Our previous two boats were Wharram catamarans (also lovely), and
we have continued with the concept of flexi-space for the interior, albeit now only one hull. The interior readily converts from king-sized bed to workshop, to camping kitchen, to navigation center to … private commode with the luggable loo. There is one house battery and one starting battery for the always-faithful, inboard Yanmar 3M. Electronics are minimal, although we did bump up this year to a snazzy GPS, proper radio and running lights. The mast is keel-stepped and about 30' above the partners. The sail has seven battens. When asked its size, we say it's red and big, and it reefs 'like butter', both up and down. In summer months, we enjoy raising up the two bottom panels for light airs meandering, while friends sit on the cabin roof. It looks funny but works fine. Our best sailing (when we're feeling serious), is between December and March. The winds are consistent and steady and push the little junk along at a steady 5.5 knots. Aside from exploring the many small islands and following the minkes, orcas, and humpbacks (not too closely), the little junk is the mother ship while our youngest son, 11-year-old Aristotle, races his lateen-rigged, outrigger canoe in West Sound. We can't hope to keep up, but we have a dandy of a time resupplying the racers with kimchee and hot chocolate, another odd combination, but the young sailors love it! Please come visit! Love, the Luna Clan Our Boat of the Month Archive is here.
So lower your sails (easy in a junk) and Join Us. For how to see the menu on the left). We're great value.
Converting your boat to junk rig is the best thing you can do to improve her safety and efficiency!

adidas Buzenitz – Grey Suede – Red – Gum by Zack Schlemmer 0 Comments
June 19, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 2
The adidas Skateboarding Busentiz's Samba-inspired build is inherently simple. Most releases have been suede, and just about all of them follow restrained two-tone templates. Within this framework, there's still quite a bit of ground to cover on the brighter side of things, and that makes this new teal Busenitz all the more intriguing. On the heels of the Lab Lime-accented Bluebird edition, it appears we could be poised for a more exuberant run of Three Stripes' top pro model, so take another look after the jump, then grab yours at shops like Premier.

- Review Date: 2012-01-09
- Reviewer: Staff
Complex family dynamics and carefully concealed secrets drive this gripping stand-alone from Edgar-winner Scottoline (Save Me). Jill Farrow, a Philadelphia pediatrician, and her teenage daughter, Megan, live with Jill's calm and forbearing fiancé, Sam Becker. When Jill's estranged 19-year-old ex-stepdaughter, Abby Skyler, rushes into Jill's home late one rainy night to tell her that her ex-husband, William, is dead, apparently of a drug overdose, Jill can summon little sympathy for the unscrupulous William. When the distraught Abby insists that her father was murdered and that Jill must help her find his killer, Jill is reluctant to get involved, particularly since the police can find no evidence of a crime. As Jill tries to juggle her duties as doctor, mother, and sleuth, her delving into William's murky past puts emotional strain on Megan and jeopardizes her relationship with Sam. A surfeit of melodrama and some anemic subplots are unlikely to deter the author's many loyal fans. Author tour. Agent: Molly Friedrich, Friedrich Literary Agency. (Apr.)


text: Let's face it, no one likes sitting next to a snorer on an airplane, or even worse — sleeping next to one night after night. This rough, hoarse noise that plagues approximately 90 million American adults can be very disruptive to the snorer, a spouse, or anyone else in the room. Snoring is caused by the vibration of the soft tissue of the upper airway. When this tissue goes slack, it vibrates even more. Elderly and people who are overweight are usually more prone to snoring because they have more of this extra tissue in the back of their throats. There are several things you can do on your own to help stop snoring. Lifestyle changes can go a long way in resolving this problem. Four non-invasive ways to tackle a snoring problem: 1) Lose weight - Losing even a little bit of weight can reduce the fatty tissue in the back of the throat that causes snoring. 2) Keep airways open - Using decongestants, a Neti pot or nasal strips can relieve stuffy noses that create a vacuum in your throat.

Make Spring Break Safe And Healthy
Northwestern Medicine expert offers tips for a healthy vacation
CHICAGO, March 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- It's that time of year again –bags are packed and people all across the country are on their way to a week filled with fun in the sun. Spring break is a good time for rest and relaxation, but vacation is also a time when many of us lose track of healthy practices including nutritious eating or common sense safety rules. Northwestern Medicine ® experts suggest following some easy tips to keeping spring break fun and safe. "You can enjoy yourself and a few indulgences while still keeping your health a priority in the midst of spring break travel," said Kimbra Bell, MD, an internal medicine physician with Northwestern Memorial Physicians Group.
Below are Bell's tips to stay healthy during spring break vacations:
- Protect your skin. If traveling to a sun-filled destination, wear sunscreen of at least 30 SPF and most importantly, do not forget to re-apply every two hours. This will protect against the sun's harmful rays which predispose a person to skin cancer, including melanoma.
- Eat healthy. A healthy diet is important – even while on vacation. Be sure to include plenty of fruits and vegetables in meals and drink lots of water. Nutritious food will keep the body fueled and well-hydrated, providing plenty of energy to engage in activities all day. In addition, the foundation for any day is a healthy breakfast.
- Stay hydrated. Oftentimes spring break can involve various days filled with strenuous activities from rock climbing to various kinds of sports; keeping hydrated is essential with any sort of physical activity. Remember to stay well-hydrated with at least 48 ounces of water per day. A general rule of thumb would be a minimum of three to four 16 ounce standard water bottles per day.
- Pick luggage wisely. If carrying a purse, wear one that can be strapped across the body and has a zipper, not a snap closure or an open closure. A secure zipper can thwart "pick pocket" attempts and decrease the chances of someone grabbing the purse and running away with it.
- Get plenty of sleep. A good night's rest is the foundation for renewing and refueling the body for the next day. Adults should strive to get six to eight hours of sleep each night; even on vacation where sleep can sometimes seem secondary to having fun.
For college students and young adults who are taking spring break trips, Bell reminds that making smart choices and using common sense is one of the best ways to stay safe on spring break. She recommends the following safety tips:
- Do not travel alone. While on spring break, always move about in pairs or groups. Traveling alone increases your chances of being a victim of theft or other crime.
- Take caution if consuming alcohol. If consuming alcoholic drinks (or nonalcoholic beverages) in a public space, never leave a beverage unattended; this can expose the risk of someone putting an unknown substance into the drink. Discard any drink that has been left unattended. Avoid overindulgence which can lead to serious injury or illness and never operate a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.
- Protect yourself. For those engaging in sexual activity while on spring break, taking safety precautions is essential. Remember, consuming alcohol can cloud judgment and result in bad decision making; it's crucial to assure that both parties are consenting and capable of making decisions. Sexually transmitted infections (STI) are on the rise among young adults. While the only way to be 100 percent protected against STI is to abstain from sexual activity, condoms can prevent transmission of STI between sexual partners.
- Check in back at home. While it's easy to stay disconnected while on vacation, vacationers should always keep contact with family or friends at home. Plan to check in with parents or other family members at least two to three times over the course of a trip, which will let them know that you are safe and having a good time. If someone expects to hear from you, an immediate red flag will be raised if you don't make contact.

- 【 The Pure Myu 】
Sage Rosenfeld┊Say-jee or Pure
Myu ( Pure )
【 bippa-san 】
The Pure was created through the unsupervised breeding between two Myu. He was born with the gifts of generating psyon shields and amplifying other psyon-based capabilities. Like his counterpart, he has a new and strange power, but this is more like telepathy; he can offer them mental comfort, or cause them severe psychological suffering. He can go so far as to sense psyon energy as well – it appears as a flame of its respective colour to him. This is incredibly useful due to the Pure's physical weakness and his lack of sight, as he can use psyon to guide himself to an extent.
His bleak history and lack of parental figures has left Sage a confused and quiet, yet surprisingly proud and irritable child. While difficult to rouse, his temper is infamous and has caused many scars between the UNW and the Myu colony; it is after all the rage of a simple and emotional youth. Sage will always favour retreat or tense discussion over bloodshed between these two groups, using the latter as a distraction so that he can implement the former. However, due to his pride, he will find it difficult to flee after a battle has commenced. He is secretly petrified and uncertain of what the future holds for the Myu race.
- 【 The Supporting Officer 】
Lance Ionescu┊Lan or Officer Ionescu
Male ┊ Thirty-nine
【 bippa-san 】
Definitions, synonyms and common phrases most applicable to to Lance would go along the lines of, 'all brawn and no brains', 'typical soldier', 'violent', 'blood-thirsty', and 'a heartbreaker'. These are so accurate that it could be said Ionescu doesn't show any seriousnesness when regarding life at all; not for his when he refuses to engage in a serious relationship with a woman, and not for anyone else's ... especially not when he has a gun. He's not the smartest or most cunning of officers and expects such traits out of his General. Instead, he'd rather lead his fellow men into the fray and show them how it should be done.
As such, he has very little respect for the Myu or any other 'alien' species. He understands the UNW's desire to eradicate them and is all too happy to do it; perhaps because his instinct demands it, but more likely it is the fact that his brother and several friends and acquaintances of his were on the Phantom when it was attacked. As far as he knows, they were all killed in the struggle. A strong man with a lust for vengeance, Ionescu will do all in his power to convince the General of the Myus' evil personas.
- 【 The Laughing Beast 】
Jir'u Vaadwed ┊ Jir (pronounced 'Jeer') or Yu
Unknown ┊ Twenty-six
【 bippa-san 】
Jir'u was hatched and raised on a jungle planet deep within the troodonian empire's borders. While small and mostly undeveloped, it was an asset to their growing power, with many untapped resources within its core. The natives, quickly converted into slaves, of this nameless planet were dubbed 'Vaadtzen', the term meaning something along the lines of 'skinny lizard'. The simple name rings true; Jir'u is an astounding seven feet and a half tall, yet is incredibly thin and lanky.
Because of these attributes the troodons used it as a scout, but it ruined the opportunity by losing its temper and stealing a soldier's rations for itself as revenge. Considered little more than a slave at the time, Jir'u was stripped of all personal belongings and forced to board a warship. It was destined to die as bait. However due to a strange turn of events, the ship was captured by those that called themselves the 'Anima', and Jir'u found itself free - to a point. Its fearsome, hyena-like laughter and animalistic lack of empathy has left it estranged from most of the anima.
- 【 The Admiral 】
Amir Duellos ┊ Admiral Duellos or 'Ace'
Male ┊ Appears to be thirty-four, actually ninety-one
【 bippa-san 】
The only thing that is truly certain about this young man is that he is, and perhaps always be, something of a mystery. Despite his youthful appearance and optimistic, sometimes child-like nature he is in fact almost a century old. He began his career as a marine upon a ship known as the Reverence, designated to holding off the rogue AI machines that had corrupted some of the UNW's most powerful spacecraft. After a mission that went very poorly, he resigned and committed himself purely to the UNW's intergalactic navy. He rose quite quickly through the ranks, and was the captain of a small but hardy and swift ship when his last mission was given to him - to destroy a space-port held by one of the Artificial Intelligence machines. He refuses to speak about the events which did lead to the success of his goal, but some after eighty-seven years he was later found in a cryogenic slumber in a one-man escape pod. He was taken back to earth but remained in the slumber as his body was given nutrients to heal what wounds he had more quickly.
The UNW had considered euthanising him out of morality, but when desperation for loyal and skilled naval officers came about, they instead woke him. It has been some three years since then, and he still has some difficulty coming to grips with the difference in time. Despite his uncomfortable awakening, he has not forgotten his place or more importantly, his virtues and ideals. He serves with honour, waiting for the day that he can return home to one of the nurses who had cared for him, now his expectant wife.
