Is there nothing more adorable and life-changing than material you can slip over your babies' legs to keep them warm during the cooler months but without the hassle of having to take off actual PANTS when you change their diapers? Yes actually, there is. These onesies with witty and/or "awww"-inspiring sayings. BOO-YAH.
Those are some fancy leggings. Perhaps some of you can share your experience if you bought these before.
With the cooler weather here, the babylegs are wonderful. I had been noticing that the little boss' legs were chilly during diaper changes. These have solved that problem and fit nicely under his other clothes. They are long enough to last him over many growth spurts, are just tight enough to stay up without causing too-snug marks, and are not easily pulled off like normal socks.
Look Marge! Maggie lost her baby legs!

I gave these at Christmas to a niece and nephew, and my in-laws (their parents) were very pleased.
I too gave these as a present this year to a niece who is about to turn me into a great(er) aunt in a few months. Well received, but they won't be tested till spring.
I think these are smart and useful, but after seeing a nephew wearing some I just could never bring myself to putting them on a boy. I'd rather wait for him to grow up and decide for himself if he wants to wear thigh-high leggings.
Ok, I'll admit, I'm a Babylegs addict. They work on babies from thigh to tips of toes, and as they get older, knee to ankle, and they are AWESOME as arm warmers (really helps extend your summer t-shirts into the fall). They sound weird for boys, but in all honesty, every single boy I've seen in these look fine. It's just the mentality of "it's a girl thing"- and I'm one of those old-fashioned people who raises my daughter to be interested in girly things, and I'll raise my soon-to-arrive son to stick with manly things. No offense to anyone, btw. Edited to add: I also want to mention that although the description says these designs are exclusive to Woot... Every one of these are currently available at Babylegs website in the clearance section. (Except it looks like the alphabet ones are sold out.) Other than that... still quality items here.
Babylegs are awesome. They go on legs or arms, and are GREAT to cover the gaps in the winter between the coat and the mitts, or the pants and the boots. No more cold wrists and ankles! On a different note, how can one put more than one style into our woot shopping cart? Or do we have to check out in between each pair?

Yes, you have to purchase each style separately. Good news though is that only pay $5 shipping per day (until midnight Central).

Sale-Wilson rematch on the bill for White Sox-Angels
White Sox lefty tossed one-hitter against Halos on Sunday
Angels catcher Chris Iannetta doesn't like tipping his hat to anyone. But after Chris Sale one-hit Los Angeles on Sunday, Iannetta showed his appreciation for the White Sox ace's performance.
"Sale pitched a great game against us," Iannetta said. "He was lights-out. He made a ton of pitches, his stuff was nasty, great job by him."
Iannetta and his teammates will get another crack at Sale on Friday, when the Angels and White Sox play the second game of their four-game set in Anaheim. The bill on Friday is an exact rematch of Sunday's marquee matchup in Chicago between Sale and C.J. Wilson.
Sale took a perfect game into the seventh inning and finished what he started by going the distance even after his bid at history was disrupted. The only base hit he allowed was a one-out single in the seventh by Mike Trout. Sale's game plan on Friday will differ from the one he took into Sunday's game, but he's not looking to reinvent the wheel. He threw fewer sliders in his last outing, instead relying on his changeup as an out pitch. That worked, so the minor changes may simply be when he decides to throw what pitch in specific counts.
"I want to take the positives and what worked, but a lineup like this, with the hitters they have, you have to change it up," Sale said. "I can't go out there throwing the same things in the same counts and expect the same results."
Sale's terrific outing somewhat overshadowed Wilson's performance on Sunday, when he threw his third straight quality start. He held the White Sox scoreless for six innings before they finally blemished his line for three runs on six hits and he was replaced after 6 2/3 innings.
Wilson will be tasked with changing the momentum of the series after the White Sox won a close one on Thursday. Angels reliever Michael Kohn issued back-to-back-to-back walks to send Adam Dunn, the winning run, to the plate in the 5-4 Chicago win.
But taking back this matchup won't be easy with Sale pitching the way he has over the last month. Since his start on April 18, he's 4-1 with a 1.69 ERA and he's holding opponents to a .162 batting average.
Iannetta understands the challenge ahead of him.
"In baseball, it's all about execution. If he goes out and executes the same way he did last time, it's going to be a really tough day," Iannetta said. "That's not to say we can't win the game and score a couple runs, but it's tough when a pitcher executes, no matter who it is."
White Sox: Sale's dental work
It turns out, Sale actually pitched Sunday's one-hitter with an abscessed tooth. He had to get his cracked tooth pulled after he bit into something on a plane ride from New York to Chicago returning from a road series.
Sale was a little loopy this week and said the dentist that performed the surgery was a Twins fan, but everything turned out OK.
Angels: Brasier and Buckner join team
The Angels continued to usher relievers out of town and call up fresh blood. On Thursday, Los Angeles promoted Ryan Brasier and Billy Buckner to the Major League club. They correspondingly optioned Michael Roth and designated Barry Enright for assignment.
Buckner was 4-2 with a 4.56 ERA in eight starts with Triple-A Salt Lake, while Brasier will be making his second appearance with the Major League club this year. Earlier in the season, he pitched two innings and allowed two earned runs. Buckner will be the 21st pitcher the Angels have used this season.

Gee, Mets look to get closer to Phils in standings
Philadelphia aims to even series with New York behind righty Cloyd
The more ground the Mets make up on the Phillies over the final nine games of the season, the closer they approach what would amount to a significant step forward in New York manager Terry Collins' third year at the helm.
If the 2013 Mets can somehow pass the Phillies for third place in the National League East, they can snap a streak of four consecutive fourth-place finishes. What might seem like a purely aesthetic accomplishment would certainly sweeten the aftertaste of a season geared largely toward building for the future.
With a win on Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park, the Mets can draw level in the season series with the Phillies and pull within one game of a tie for third. Daisuke Matsuzaka picked up his second win of the season as the Mets held on for a 6-4 victory in the series opener on Friday night.
Amid the much-discussed campaigns put together by Matt Harvey and rookie Zack Wheeler, Dillon Gee has quietly turned in the most consistent and productive season of his four years in the Majors. Gee leads all Mets starters with 187 innings this season and has set career-best marks in starts, strikeouts and Wins Above Replacement. His 2.23 ERA and 1.04 WHIP since the All-Star break are second only to Harvey among the nine Mets that have started games in the second half.
The right-hander lifted the Mets to a series-clinching 1-0 win against the Marlins last Sunday, tossing 7 1/3 shutout innings and lasting into the eighth for the seventh time this year.
"I think the key today was being able to throw offspeed pitches for strikes. I threw a lot of curveballs and changeups, first pitch, especially," Gee said on Sunday. "I tried to get ahead in the count with something other than the fastball."
He will be looking to turn around his fortunes against a Philadelphia offense that has tormented him in 2013 -- Gee has surrendered 16 earned runs, including seven home runs, over just 14 innings in three starts against the Phillies this year.
Tyler Cloyd is searching for answers after getting shelled in his first two starts of September, most recently by the streaking Nationals last Sunday to the tune of five earned runs in four innings that bumped the rookie right-hander's ERA over his last four games to 8.05.
"Any time you have a bad outing, no matter how many good ones you have, you're always disappointed," Cloyd said after Sunday's 11-2 loss. "Obviously I'm more disappointed that I'm pitching bad and not giving the team a chance to win. I've got to figure it out somehow. It's obviously pitch execution, so I've just got to figure it out and see what I'm doing wrong and fix it."
Mets: Wright makes his return in style
Back from a strained right hamstring that took him nearly seven weeks to rehab back to full strength, third baseman David Wright returned to his familiar spot in the batting order for the Mets' series opener against the Phillies on Friday and produced a familiar result against Philadelphia starter Cole Hamels in the first inning.
Wright took the second pitch he saw from Hamels the opposite way for a two-run home run in his first at-bat since Aug. 2. The home run was the 221st of Wright's career, moving him past Mike Piazza and into second place on the Mets' all-time home run list, behind Darryl Strawberry, who had 252 blasts with the Mets. Wright finished 2-for-5 in the win.
"I feel like I've said this a million times but I'll say it again, this is what I do," Wright said before Friday's game. "This is what I love to do. If I'm healthy enough to play, I'm going to play. Therefore, I'm playing, that's as simple as it gets."
Phillies: Kendrick shut down for season
After getting a second opinion on the tendinitis in Kyle Kendrick's throwing shoulder, the Phillies elected to cut the right-hander's season short and replace him in the rotation with Zach Miner for the final days of the season. Kendrick had an initial MRI taken on Tuesday after dealing with shoulder discomfort for over a month, but he was scratched from his scheduled start on Wednesday, and on Friday the team made the decision official.
"He was able to pitch and his stuff was there," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "As far as movement on the sinker, I thought that was a little less the second part of the season. But other than that, he was healthy enough to pitch and it was a normal sensation that he was feeling."
Since June 14, Kendrick was 4-9 with a 6.04 ERA in 17 starts, and he had not earned a win since Aug. 6. Miner has posted a 3.22 ERA in 14 appearances this season and went three innings in Wednesday's start in place of Kendrick.
Worth noting
• The Mets called up Wilfredo Tovar from Double-A Binghamton on Friday in order to provide depth at shortstop after starter Ruben Tejada went down with a broken right leg earlier this week.
• Wright has hit 18 home runs at Citizens Bank Park in his career, which is tied with Turner Field for the most he's hit at a road ballpark.
• Phillies right-hander Michael Stutes was activated from the 60-day disabled list on Friday after rehabbing from right biceps tendinitis.

Hey Everyone, I am currently at Disney and sat through the presentation for the 2nd time (1st time was back when Boardwalk was selling) and am planning on joining. I really hadn't known about the resale market nor about any changes or how much the MF went up each year. I was thinking of getting Wilderness Lodge since it was $100/pt and getting about 146 pts since that would get me all the points I need to travel. However in reading this forum, i sounds like I should be getting on the resale market instead since it would be cheaper. What about both? Does it make sense to get a small contract direct from Disney (50) and get add-ons on the resale market? If I get 50 points, I'll get 50 points to start plus the 50 at the UY (current promotion). I now understand the current promotion of 10% on AK and Hawaii since there seems to be an additional amount of points available. I could also wait until the Floridan and buy then... I can't get a 2nd mortgage or HELOC since I don't have a 1st mortgage and am pretty certain I can't get a mortgage for the small price of what I would need for the timeshare which is sad since the rates are soooo low right now. Also, why is it bad to use DVC points for Disney Adventures, the Cruiseline, and the Asian Disney Resorts? Background info: This is my first time where I've actually had to pay full price for Disney since before I used a cast-member or friends-n-family discount. DVC is interesting to me for the perks, the variety, and the cost effectiveness of staying on Disney property when visiting. But I am also interested in Disney Adventures, the Cruiseline, & the Asian Disney parks (used my cast member discount when I went to DL Paris in 2003) and figured the points would help me be able to do that. I only travel in the off season (October & January; March/April rarely) or when I can get a deal. The 11 months to book a room vs the 7 doesn't seem like it would make much of a difference for me since I don't plan that far in advance as I usually get my flight 1st. I've met a couple DVC members at EPCOT and at Universal but that was before I found this board this morning. Anyhow, any insights would be helpful.
It's like paying $100 for something beacuse you are using a credit card, when you could have bought it for $60 with cash. That's the bottom line. Now it takes a bit of effort to turn DVC points into cash to purchase the same thing you would have paid for with points, but you'll have quite a bit of money left over after doing so.
As far as the "other" options for you're directly bought points, your 146 points won't get you very far. The cruise line, Disney Collection and ABD all cost hundreds of points PER PERSON, so you'd have to use 2 or three years worth of your total number of points to make even the cheapest of those options work. Bottom line, if you want DVC to use for when you stay at Disney, then buy resale. If you want to do any of those other options, buy resale and rent out your points so you can pay cash for the Disney cruise/Paris Disney/ABD trip you want to take.
Start reading the purchase threads here on the DIS for all of the answers to your questions. DVC is a okay product for some but not for others, you need to determine if it will save you some money or end up costing you more. You also need to ask yourself, why are there so many contracts on the resale market, why are DVC owners selling if it is such a good deal? Bill
Hi Bill, I already decided that it makes sense for me when I crunched the numbers, but in reading these forums, it doesn't make sense to buy a large amount. My rep was pushing 50 points and now I see why he kept saying as I can add on small amounts later as needed. When I looked at point requirements, 146 points are the most that I would need based on when I travel/vacation (Choice & Adventure). If I hadn't already spent my vacation money I could have gotten a 25 point one for cash (which really would have been ok for me since it would have been a good direct starting point & the rest resale). I did want to know about adding on when things are new, they give pre-sale discounts so you can buy as little as 25 (cash) and 50 (financed via Disney). I think for the rest of the points, I'll get them resale & am aware that I'll have to wait awhile since I want 25-50 point chunks. (Wrote this 3 days ago but thanks to Sandy haven't been able to respond) I can guess why people are selling, the annual fees go up every year and if you aren't paying attention you don't really get that from the sales rep. Plus the math they do really doesn't make much sense if you do it yourself. As a single traveller, it doesn't make financial sense to do DVC since I'm only interested in 1 Bedroom Villas (Studio is ok) but the benefits of being a DVC member are worth the cost to me. It's the only way I can get close to my benefits when I was a cast member without being a cast member (casual seasonal). When you are used to living on Disney Property, getting a discount, going to the parks without having to rush to see everything, & not having to worry about transportation; it just makes sense.
Don't buy DVC for the benefits. They change and sometimes are eliminated. You buy DVC for the lodging and that's about the only reason. When you buy a small contract, it won't get you many nights in a one bedroom villa if that is what you want.
Never consider the perks/benefits when making a purchase decision. They're not part of your ownership, and are given more or less at the whim of other divisions of the Disney company, like Disney Parks, or third parties like shops or restaurants. The come and go all the time. The AP discount, for example, could go away tomorrow if Disney Parks decides it's no longer beneficial to them. When you buy DVC, what you're really buying is the right to stay at your home resort, subject to availability. Everything else is subject to change.
I would buy your first contract resale because it might be easier to match up your use year (if that matters to you) through the direct purchase than it will waiting for a resale contract to pop up at the right price and the right size and then after finding it being the first one to get an accepted offer. I think buying smaller contracts is the way to go. They are easier to sell than larger contracts and will generally get more money per point if you needed to sell the contract. Good Luck!
I think buying Direct, the minimum you can buy is 100 points? But if you are already a member, you can buy in 25 point increments. So if you were to buy a small direct and a small resale, you would have to buy resale first and direct second.
Thanks for all the replies. The minimum I can purchase direct from Disney is 50 (financed) or 25 (cash, maybe didn't look into this). I was looking at financing originally until I saw the ridiculous rate they were charging (15-16%). I want to purchase in small 25-50 chunks as I feel that will be more manageable & should I want to sell be easier to get rid of. It seems that lots that small are hard to come by and I would guess probably not that much cheaper than buying direct from disney. I haven't seen that many resale contracts for under 100 for SSR but the ones I have seen are about $10 cheaper than direct from Disney (currently $110). I think I'll create a post asking about them as I haven't really seen much of a history in regards to the small purchases. When you buy a small purchase, the paperwork states that it is below the minimum and that you aren't guaranteed to have enough points to stay unless you borrow and/or bank point but at the same time if you do that you still may not have enough for a week or any of the other options. It was high lighted in Bold on my contract. EPCOT is my favorite park even after working there for a year, I went down every year afterwards for 4 years to go to the Food and Wine Festival. I pretty much only go to EPCOT when I go to Disney unless I'm am doing a whirlwind of the other 3 parks in 1 day (although I tend to go to the Studios more due to it's proximity to EPCOT). So October is pretty much when I will go to Disney and I don't want to be off property (did that this trip and it was HORRIBLE). Studio's work for me as I want a fridge and a microwave especially if I can fly down cheaply for a short visit midweek (I have a weird work schedule). I'm sure as I accumulate points, I'll want to stay at EVERY location once (well not Vero Beach since with no Disney it makes no sense for me to go there since I dislike US beaches, the water is 'dirty' compared to the blue water of the Caribbean). 1 Bedroom's sound like something I'd use when I'm visiting not in October when I would be more inclined to cook, rent a car (yay for finally getting a Whole Paycheck), and do a short visit. However, owning at BCV or BWV didn't make sense to me cause I'm just buying points and the MF's for both locations are higher than SSR and go up more than SSR. Plus they cost more per point than SSR so it's a better value to me in the long run. That is the only real financial comparison that I can do since the TVM doesn't work for me since I wouldn't invest the money in a CD (1% really?!) to take a vacation; I would just go with the best deal I could get which wouldn't be comparing apples to apples. I purchased 50 points direct from disney for $5500 + $57 closing costs with an October UY. I don't know if that means I get 100 points or only 50 points at close since we had used a June UY when I was doing my calculation. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to cancel my contract due to the damage from Sandy and hope I'll be able to do it next year. In the mean time I'll keep doing research on the resales and the different forums to learn more information.
Since you would have been closing after October 1, you wouldn't get Oct 2011 points, just Oct 2012 points. If you had a Dec UY, you might still get Dec 2011 points if you closed before Dec 1.
IMO if one can't pay cash, they can't afford luxury purchases. I'd suggest you save up and buy resale what you can pay cash for. However, I'm not convinced DVC makes sense for you if you're planning on traveling alone most trips. I know you said you've crunched the numbers but I'm guessing you did so using the DVC rack rates as your comparison, that's not a good point of reference unless you would pay that if you didn't own. I'd second the idea that if DVC without the perks doesn't make sense, DVC doesn't make sense. I think the only exception I can think of are those that can get enough current benefits from the discounts and perks. Effectively those that can make hay with the pass discounts with a large family contingent and those that use it for access but mostly stay off property are about the only exceptions I can think of.
First of all, I am sorry for the loss that Sandy inflicted on you and yours. We all hope that those impacted will be able to recover quickly. Some of the things you posted led me to believe that you want only to stay at BWV or BCV during your October visits. Keep in mind that many members own those two resorts to be able to book them before the 7 month window opens. There seems to be some space available at 7 months for non-owners to book, but there are far more who seek to stay at those resorts than there are rooms. More are disappointed than successful. If staying at BCV or BWV during F&W is important to you, it's best to own there and book at 11 months. That's especially important at BWV if you want a Boardwalk view or a standard view room. If you do not think you can or will book more than 7 months in advance, then it doesn't matter where you own. (That said, at least buy at WDW unless you plan to actually stay at VB, Aulani or HHI). At 7 months, a point is a point is a point. Good luck!
I do plan on paying cash which was why I had to cancel :-( My cost calculations are based off how much it would cost to stay off property in Studio/1-Bedroom, renting car, parking fees & travel time & the same with staying with a friend over the course of 5-7 days with trips to F&W & Universal. When compared to staying on property hotels/resorts, cost of breakfast is added (Lunch & Dinner are of course via FW), rental car removed but shuttle to Universal is added. Since World Showcase opens at 11, I've always found it easier to get there at around that time coming from the Studios or Boardwalk than the main Entrance. With the exception of maybe BLT & AKV, the view isn't as important to me as I only look out the window when I 1st get into a room after that I'm out and about. I'm not really a view person unless it's really special (balcony/hammock beachside view with the sound of waves comes to mind). I never really thought about staying at BWV or BCV, it wasn't in my calculations. I don't book F&W until AFTER I book the Food reservations cause I'm really picky & now with my food allergy to Gluten it's a little more difficult. So with that in mind I'll only be booking with whatever inventory is available 2-3 months ahead of time anyway. I suspect I can book a week 1st and change after reservations but that doesn't mean anything will be available. For me, the convenience of being closer means I can spend more of my time on vacation rather than being en-route to said vacation. Even when I calculated the annual MF for SSR down the road to be around $16/pt (at 3% increase each year) it still made sense. My break even point is sooner depending on any perks but I don't assume they will be there. However, my calculations also include the fact that half of my future vacations to Disney will be with friends. Which is on the low end since 90% of all of my Disney Vacations have been with other people but they just haven't all been at F&W time. Since F&W is my favorite time to come down though that's the base of my calculations. Anyhow, I'll keep lurking on this board & keep a watch out for next year. I suspect that when I have the money in the Spring I'll be able to start searching for small packages. Buying in the 25-50 range makes it easier to buy cash even if it does mean a longer search/wait. In the meantime, looking forward to having heat & happy that it hasn't been below freezing. Also looking forward to learning more about DVC as it's interesting to see the changes between my 1st presentation (Boardwalk) and 2nd (Aulani & AK). At neither presentation did I know about re-sales but I still found the presentations interesting. I will say those 1-Bedrooms are nice & I could totally see myself getting spoiled with them. Thanks for all the insights
If you're comparing to off property, you should compare to off property timeshares as well as hotel or cash reservations.
Your idea of 2-3 months ahead of time isn't all that workable at this point. Especially for F&W. We couldn't book a one bedroom at BCV for a week at seven months out this year. Studios would be booked up before one bedrooms.
We've booked F&W for 3 day weekends a few months out (August for November). The first year, 2008, we were only able to get BWV in a 1 BR thru the wait list. We only wanted a studio. Last year, we were unable to get anything at all that late and stayed at the Swan.

My gripe: I run remote desktops. Sometimes from an iPad, sometimes from an android tablet, sometimes in windowed mode from a windows PC. Nearly everything does not work with remote desktop. There's no start button to click. There's no way to run an app w/o getting to start. There's no way to simulate gestures when you don't use a mouse. Productivity is way down with this thing.
I wouldn't necessarily say it was a fail at all. The usage of power at their datacenter probably ties in directly to the buy-in by consumers of their cloud hosting solutions (office 365, Azure, Dynamics, Skydrive). If they can't get much of a response this year, their usage will be low. However, looking at the way Windows 8 is designed, most of the features cannot be enabled without a Windows Live account, so next year's consumption may expect to increase significantly, and stay up there. When you lay out infrastructure, you don't plan for the short term, after all.
More than that, his long term plan was to replace the content distribution channels with an alternative model using megaupload. He already had some celebrities lined up, and a promotional video and song done. That's significantly more than just being a fixer.
1. A command line interface for everything the program is supposed to do.
2. A GUI interface that scripts and engages the command line for every button you press
Thus the program is forced to adapt to both requirements, and is scriptable as well as having an easy interface. Also helps in debugging.
Coupled with search, I barely have to touch the mouse sometimes. Yes, the focus group appears to be maybe 10 senior managers at Microsoft or something.
A smart person can't be smart without interaction with others. Preferably other intelligence. It's called iron sharpening iron.
Over here we buy our licenses in USD. Why the inconsistency?
You know, remote wipe isn't really a working solution. I've never had a remote wipe that worked successfully.
Why? because remote wipe requires connectivity, whereas a stolen device is guaranteed to be switched off and the sim card removed immediately. Then you would have to count on connecting to a wireless network. Without user intervention.
Number 1, for trying to impose american law on the world. That's the act of a school bully making people his bitch because he can beat them up.

The hunters names were "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Hrair", "Hrair", "Hrair", "Hrair", and "Hrair". But only if the monkeys were rabbits. Are you sure you didn't get your anecdote mixed up with a famous story somewhere?
Siri is similar to Google? I thought you should be comparing it to Wolfram Alpha.
There was this bald monkey coming out, screaming in his monkey language: "There... Are... Four... Hunters!"
And then, he died. Apparently a bad day to wear his red shirt.
Myself I wanted to play Little Big Planet, Uncharted, Shadow of the colossus. I wanted one of their sweet MILC cameras, some of the best in the consumer market. I even checked out their walkman wearabes, really good if you're a runner because it's cordless, and really the only player that offers something an ipod can not.
Didn't buy any of them, because I remember what it means to buy a sony. I have a rusting VAIO that had a battery die early in its life, yet not too early that I could get it replaced. So suck it, Sony.
If this is true, that the pesticide is so powerful, then bees all over do not stand a chance at all, as we have no means of controlling anything we release into the environment in such small quantities. Here's hoping that bees will develop a resistance to this particular pesticide, as all pests eventually do.

Looks like bloat:
- More complex applications. Most probably a new shared library to help them.
- People will need to install and maintain new purpose-specific tools and learn how to use them, while the time-honoured generic ones are left aside.
- Even more complex userspace daemons (and probably their legacy compatibility mechanisms) enter the fray.
I'm sure a lot of people need structured logging on their servers, but on my PC I'll pass.

Apparently according to the woot derby winners I need to get some ghost buddies to help with my housework. Awesome shirt congrats on the 2nd place!
I always wondered what a ghost looked like under its sheet!
Apparently the woot voters have become obsessed with ghosts. Intervention time?
Another ghost shirt? Shirt.woot must be haunted; it's the only answer.
Bleach or just Tide? How do you get your whites that white?
Also I <3 this Adorable.
Love the concept... ...trying not to see racist undertones that could be inferred if taken wrong, eh-hem.
Congrats Boots! And Kelly! All of my ghost sheets would be pink... stupid red sock gets me everytime!
Yes, always good to see a BootsBoots (collab or otherwise.) Captures some fun expressions + a chill wind blowing up the back feeling.
...did we accidentally have the Halloween derby? I guess ghosts + chores = win!
are those the ghost's tank tops?
I guess it's Halloween in September... well at least these will show up by smart post just in time for Thanksgiving. I kid, I kidddddd.
What a BOO-tiful day to hang laundry.
I'm up for a game of Pac-Man now for some reason. :-D
"...gave a sheet" Haha...it's funny because it sounds like a bad word. Reminds me of a tounge-twister my mom taught me, then forbid me to ever say. Ahem... How many sheets could a sheet-slitter slit if a sheet-slitter could slit sheets? Don't try it within earshot of kids. ;)
This is a great Halloween Tee...no bones about it!

Some people may say this is adorable, but I think it's pretty sinister. I mean, on the one hand, he could be doing laundry...on the other hand...he could be hanging up trophies...
Cute concept, but the sheet on the far left is legitimately scary... They all look like pillow cases with eye-holes, but that one on the left doesn't even leave room for euphemism...
This makes me theorize far too much about Pacman. Does he just eat the sheet, while the ghosts "soul" travels back to the center box to pick up some new laundry?
I've always wondered why ghosts wear clothes that give them legs at the bottom. Who needs legs? It's not like they're useful or anything...
naked ghosts sure are... glisteny... this is super cute

hmmm y'know, on second thought, they DO look pretty embarrassed/unhappy when they're going back :s
Another vote for Oxiclean (now owned by Arm and Hammer). Put in a scoop or two per load, let it soak overnight, and your dingy socks and underthings will be ghosty-white once again! Oh, and props to the designers for the cute shirt ...
Too cute...but might lose to the hubby. That would suck.
Too bad the description writers blew their load of BooOoOoooo jokes yesterday. Couldn't you guys have saved one for BOoOOotsBoOOoOOOts's collaborative effort? Or would that have been so obvious as to become bOOoOoOOOOoOOooOring?

Me too. And it's not the fault of the artist- it's a cute, funny image. It's just not one I'd want on my chest in case someone else misinterpreted it at a glance. (Then again, I've bought something like 6 t-shirts this week between shirt.woot and Tee Fury, so I probably have tapped my funny t-shirt budget for the month anyway...)
I'm pretty sure my african-american husband is going to veto this one. But its cute!
Yay Boots and KellySnaps! Ghosts R Us. ^__^
Every time I hear the phrase "Laundry Day" I can't help but think of Dr. Horrible.

Not because she doesn't deserve credit or anything, just because she's a terrible person who doesn't deserve a thank you. If you knew her, you'd know what I mean. She kicks puppies everyday.* *Edit: I think I'd better mention that I'm kidding. And also, the ghost isn't a racist (or so he says, anyway).

Detroit, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - The Chicago White Sox have placed ace pitcher Chris Sale on the 15-day disabled list.
Sale, who had been scheduled to start Tuesday's game at Detroit, was diagnosed with a flexor muscle strain in his left arm, though an MRI showed no ligament damage in his elbow and the White Sox are hopeful he'll be able to return shortly after he's eligible.
The two-time All-Star experienced soreness in his arm shortly after last Thursday's start against Boston, in which Sale threw a career-high 127 pitches.
Sale was off to an excellent beginning to the season, posting a 3-0 record with a 2.30 ERA through four starts and striking out 29 batters over 27 1/3 innings. Opponents have hit just .168 off the 6-foot-6 southpaw this year.
Fellow left-hander Charlie Leesman was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to start in place of Sale. The 27-year-old posted a 1.59 ERA in his first three starts for the Knights.
Leesman will draw his second career starting assignment in the majors. He allowed one run and fanned eight over five innings against Minnesota in his big league debut on Aug. 9 of last season.

Brilliantly read! (So where's volume 1?? As of the time this review was written, it was not available on Audible. It's too bad, because Martin Jarvis was BORN to read Jeeves and Wooster. The only other person in the same league is Jonathan Cecil.)
"Mysterious and beautiful"
Edoardo Ballerini is a wonderful narrator, and this is a wonderful story.
Is it an allegory? What did Kafka mean by having Gregor Samsa turn overnight into a giant, repellent bug? (He certainly is repellent: some of the passages in this translation are very hard to listen to.) One possibility is a moral failing of some kind; another is a terrible wasting disease like cancer. And of course it's also possible that no allegory is intended, that Kafka simply wanted to put this family in an extreme situation so we could watch their reactions. And in fact, by the end, Gregor's family is every bit as metamorphosed as he is himself.
Whatever the "meaning," the story is a mysterious and beautiful one, and this audiobook is well worth the short time it takes to listen to it.
"Great story, but...."
Loved the translation; loved the narrator. This is one of the best audio renditions of the poem I've heard. But for me, Aeneas remains a bit of a prig, and the poem subject to occasional digressions into sentimentality - something that is never true of Homer.
"Country tragedy and country humor"
I have a kind of love/hate relationship with George Eliot. On one hand, she writes beautifully crafted novels filled with interesting and solid characters. On the other hand, she's always interrupting her narrative to tell me how to think about it. She's forever reaching after generalizations, but many of them ring as false to me as the narrative itself rings true.
Adam Bede is no exception. As a narrator, Eliot annoys me; as a narrative, the book is a graceful and moving story about life and love in a small village as the 18th century slides into the 19th. (Some of the dinner-table conversation revolves around Bony - Napoleon - and the threat he and the armies of France pose.)
Adam is a carpenter who's in love with Hatty; but Hatty's head has been turned by Arthur, the son of the local squire. Arthur and Adam fight; Arthur goes off to join his regiment; Hatty decides to marry Adam after all; but as the day approaches, she discovers (in wonderfully elliptical Victorian prose) that she's pregnant.
In some ways the book could have been written by Thomas Hardy. The ending is less grim than it would have been in Hardy's hands, and there is considerably more country-folkish humor throughout the book; but not everyone makes it through, and there is a kind of autumnal poignancy about the last moments.
One of the more remarkable achievements in the book is the character Dinah, an early Methodist. Until the Conference forbids it, Dinah plays the unusual role of itinerant preacher. She's a gentle, loving, peaceful soul, and one of the few utterly believable persons of faith I've encountered in fiction.
Nadia May is a comfortable narrator, reliable as a rock, and I very much enjoyed her performance.
"Good all-around production"
Agnostic and evil secular humanist that I am, I still spend hours every week reading the Bible - or listening to it on audiobook.
Finding an audio version that I like has been a struggle. The versions with the best production values, like The Word of Promise, use translations I dislike because they tend to use "Biblish" - useful maybe if you can follow along with text and commentary, but not easy to follow as a form of audio storytelling. Translations I like better and think are more appropriate for listening - the NCV, the NLT, the CEB - have audio versions but not first-rate ones.
Then there's this one: the dramatized NIV. It's right about in the middle in terms of both accessibility and production values. I don't recognize the actors - none of them credited anywhere I can see - with the exception of the actor who voices God, who I believe is Todd Busteed. But they're all good readers and are not afraid to express emotion. The music is excellent and never distracting. The translation is a bit formal but free enough to be comprehensible to a first-time listener.
So, while it's not my ideal version, I think this is the best all-around audio Bible I've found.
"Earthy and immediate"
I had just finished listening to Dan Stevens' remarkable reading of The Odyssey, translated by Robert Fitzgerald. But my Homer itch hadn't been fully scratched. For relief I turned to an old favorite - Stanley Lombardo reading his own translation of The Odyssey.
Lombardo's version is equally remarkable, but in a very different way. Where Fitzgerald is stately and heroic ("lift the great song again"), Lombardo is earthy and immediate. Lombardo developed his version originally for public performance, and his reading reflects that: it's brisk, rhythmic, and varied.
I don't read Greek, ancient or modern, and can't recommend one over the other in terms of accuracy. What I CAN say is that both are successful narrative poems in English, although they seem to be almost intentionally at opposite ends of the diction continuum.
One of the things I enjoy about the Lombardo recording is that Susan Sarandon provides a brief synopsis of each book beforehand. Another thing I like is the musical theme that plays as each episode begins. I've heard people complain about the fact that it's the same theme each time; but to my way of thinking, that's an asset. It serves to set the mood and it ties together the various parts of this extremely varied work of literature.
"Problem play"
The Taming of the Shrew is another early Shakespeare play, and it's one that makes me distinctly uncomfortable - maybe even more so than The Merchant of Venice, another "problem play."
It is, in my opinion, a misogynistic play. The spirited Kate has a few moments of tenderness with her crazy husband Petruchio, but only after she's been starved, deprived of sleep, and forced to debase herself in front of others. (To his credit, he never actually hits her, but that's setting the bar pretty low.) Many productions try to get around the implications by making it all seem ironic, but I've never been able to find that irony in the text.
(One of Shakespeare's fellow playwrights seemed to think the same thing, and wrote a sequel called The Tamer Tamed: Petruchio's second wife turns the tables on him.)
Not much irony in this production either; it's played straight. The cast is, as usual, first-rate, although Frances Barber is sometimes a little too shrill as Kate; granted the character is described repeatedly as a shrew, but there's shrewishness that's funny and shrewishness that's just unpleasant.
The other odd thing about the play is the appearance and disappearance of the "framing story" involving Christopher Sly. Shakespeare sets it up and then abandons it after a couple of scenes. Another play from the period provides a few other scenes with Sly, including an epilogue that neatly ties up the loose ends. Many recent productions, if they include the framing story at all, add these scenes. I suspect they were written by Shakespeare and intended to be part of the play, but Arkangel sticks to their guns (and their stated purpose) and omits them.
Not one of the more satisfying entries in the series, but the fault is mostly Shakespeare's.
"A delight"
Eugene Onegin is a "novel in verse - the whole of it written in a series of 14-line verses with an unusually complex rhyme scheme. Falen's translation tries to reproduce the scheme in English. This isn't an easy task - English being notoriously short on rhymes - but he succeeds to an extent I wouldn't have thought possible. The syntax isn't distorted, and the rhymes click into place reliably and gracefully.
The rhymes are a big part of the pleasure of listening to this (although Raphael Corkhill's narration sometimes emphasizes line endings more than I would have preferred). Even if you don't try to explicitly follow the scheme, you will begin to intuit it and eagerly anticipate the next rhyme. That this doesn't distract from comprehension of the story testifies to the clarity and lucid simplicity of both story and verse.
It's a straightforward, sad story about friendship, love, loss, and regret. I'd read it years ago for a literature class, but I think the translation was a dud; it didn't make much of an impression. This time around, the novel was a pure delight.
If you give it a try, watch for the almost psychedelic description of a young woman's nightmare.
"Clear and engaging"
Professor Desan is a clear and engaging guide to this crucial period of European history. It's a bit unusual for a book or course to cover both the Revolution and Napoleon, but it's hard to argue with the results as she traces the cause and effect relationships. My interest is only partly historical; I was looking also for something that would help fill in the context for the political and military struggles that play such a major role in 19th century European fiction. (Not to mention Richard Sharpe and Jack Aubrey.) This does that beautifully.
"Another beauty"
Everything I said about Stevens' reading of The Iliad is true for this one, and then some. It's a nearly perfect marriage of translator and narrator. (Homer's not half bad either.)
The structure of The Odyssey is a wonder: multiple layers, multiple points of view, all of it flowing forth effortlessly.
Fitzgerald's translation of The Odyssey was my first contact with Homer. There are other translations that are more accurate, on a line by line basis; but few that throw off as many sparks of compact beauty.
"Ideas, not people"
Bart Ehrman is spot on as usual. The advantage of listening to his lectures rather than to someone else narrating his book is hearing the author's own voice. Ehrman is enthusiastic and engaging; he sounds like he's speaking off the cuff rather than reading a script; and he's able to present complex material in a clear and systematic way. It's important to note, however, that this lecture series is a history of early Christian IDEAS rather than early Christian people. There are a number of people discussed, of course - people like Tertullian, Ignatius, and Origen - but the lectures are far more topical than chronological.

Mastering the Spanish language allows students to live and work anywhere in the world where Spanish is spoken and prepares them for careers in a global environment. It gives students an edge when looking for job opportunities with companies that are based in or do business with other companies in Spanish-speaking nations. It gives them an understanding of Spanish cultures, literature and history that will help them feel at home around the world. That's one of the reasons that we strong encourage Spanish minors to study abroad during the course of their college careers. The department sponsors summer programs in Mexico, Spain, Ecuador, and Costa Rica; students who take advantage of these program, or of other accredited study abroad experiences in Spanish speaking countries, may receive credit if departmental approval is obtained in advance.
The Department of World Languages & Cultures offers the following Spanish degrees: Master of Science, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Teaching, and a Spanish minor. The Department collaborates with the College of Education to provide the Masters in Arts in Teaching World Languages: Spanish. Course offerings can be found in the Undergraduate Bulletin.
Questions about the Spanish program should be directed to the Spanish faculty:

Cylinder Heads

Hi all, I am fairly new to RC submarines, having spent most of my time building large scale RC ships.
I have currently planning a large scale type XXI for a client, and am considering the compressed air ballast system. (The sub will be somewhere in the region of 8 ft long).
Could anyone please help with my ignorance of valves? I would like to know your recommendations (and supplier info if at all poss), for a vent valve, blow valve, one way valve and air intake valve.
Many thanks

Phoronix: Gnash 0.8.8 Has VA-API, Claims 100% YouTube Compatibility
As of late the open-source Lightspark Flash Player has been making great progress with features like a LLVM-using JIT engine, out-of-process plug-in support for Firefox, and rendering improvements, the Gnash project that's partially supported by the Free Software Foundation continues to advance too...
now only full speed and flash games to work, and iam ready to change
Does it accelerate video on R500?
If that NVIDIA VDPAU back-end for VA-API actually worked, that announcement was cool. But so?
With recent developments in Lightspark Gnash serves merely as fallback for older ActionScript versions Lightspark can't handle...
and r600/700?
I'm not sure if this is a good or a bad thing... At worst if opensource Flash gets too good, Adobe might abandon Linux for good and people like me who use Flash for more than just video playback would have to use Wine and Windows version of Adobe Flash instead. >.<
just installed this version, the standalone binary segfaults whatever I do, and the plugin doesn't show up

30 Easy Summer Dinner Recipes
Pineapple Chicken Stir-Fry
Garden-fresh veggies and juicy pineapple give classic stir-fry a seasonal refresh. For an easy substitute, switch the chicken for thinly sliced boneless pork or peeled, deveined medium shrimp.
Sloppy Joes
Skip the canned stuff and make this childhood favorite from scratch. Our simple recipe is just a starting point; try one of our variations or experiment with seasonings.
Three-in-One Primavera
Our ready-in-minutes recipe starts with pasta and mixed vegetables—then just pick the sauce that suits your mood. Choose among light lemon-basil, creamy Parmesan or peppercorn-ranch dressing for a pasta salad.
Simple Salsa Skillet
For a change in routine, substitute green salsa for red in this easy Mexican-inspired meal.
This classic Argentinian sauce with fresh parsley and cilantro is made for spooning over grilled meats (especially steak), but we also love it with scrambled eggs or roasted potatoes. The recipe comes from chef Michael Ollier of Certified Angus Beef in Wooster, Ohio.
Mango-Barbecue Fish Tacos
Fresh fruit and bottled barbecue sauce lend sassy sweetness to low-cal, vitamin-rich grilled fish tacos.
Chicken Sausage Sandwiches with Watermelon Salsa
Basil and lime juice flavor the fruity salsa on this ready-in-minutes, low-cal grilled sausage sandwich.
Coconut Chicken Noodle Bowl
Ready in 25 minutes, this restaurant-style noodle bowl is a breeze to throw together. It uses Vietnamese bahn pho noodles, which you can find at large supermarkets or Asian groceries. It's fine to substitute another rice noodle or vermicelli.
Bean-and-Rice-Stuffed Peppers
With only five ingredients, these hearty stuffed peppers assemble in a snap. Team them with corn bread or whole wheat rolls, and dinner's done.
Super Simple Peachy Barbecue Chicken
Just three ingredients produce a rich-flavored, sweet-tangy barbecue sauce for drumsticks.
Garden Veggie Linguine with Cilantro Pesto
You can customize this linguine recipe by substituting other in-season vegetables and herbs, such as asparagus, snap peas, spinach or mustard greens, tarragon and basil.
Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas
Bottled black bean and corn salsa spices up these quesadillas, ready in just 20 minutes.
Loaded Greek Chicken Pizza
Frozen spinach-artichoke dip is the secret ingredient in this fabulous pizza that delivers an authentically salty punch of kalamata olives and feta cheese.
Lemon-Herb Grilled Chicken and Sassy Baked Beans
Herbed lemon marinade cooks down with honey to a glossy, gorgeous glaze in our Lemon-Herb Grilled Chicken recipe.
Three beans mix in Sassy Baked Beans, a chunky version of the potluck standby. A touch of heat from spicy barbecue sauce and salsa adds to the bold taste of this slow-cooked side dish.
North Woods Fish Tacos
We trolled the lakes for this south-of-the-Canadian-border specialty. To give extra zip to the marinated whitefish, spoon on sweet-tart Midwest cherry salsa. Roll the chunks of fish in a tortilla along with the burgundy salsa, and finish it off with tangy sour cream.
Chicken Cobb Salad
Why save this classic for when you're dining out? Rotisserie chicken makes it easy to enjoy a Cobb at home. Just add a whole-grain roll, and you've got a well-rounded meal.
Spicy Chicken-Peanut Thai Pizza
If you love Thai peanut sauce, you'll go nuts for this simple pizza. We especially love how the veggies go on after the pizza bakes, so they stay fresh, crispy and colorful.
Fresh Tomato Tart
Geri Boesen, creative director of Midwest Living®, combines Midwest-grown tomatoes with fresh basil in a cheesy tart that uses refrigerated piecrust for easy prep.
Short Ribs with Molasses-Beer Barbecue Sauce
Molasses and mustard perk up bottled barbecue sauce for this beef main dish.
Potato Chips Meet Fish
How do you get your family to eat fish? By serving them tilapia coated with potato chips, herbs and honey-mustard dressing.
Beefy Chili Dogs
The all-American chili dog is a natural for summer suppers. Stewing the hot dogs in a seasoned meat mixture makes them extra juicy. Top with cheese.
Mediterranean-Style Snapper
Cook fresh snapper fillets or other firm-flesh white fish with an easy tomato-olive mixture and crumbled feta cheese. Serve with rice, pasta or couscous.
Start to finish: 15 minutes
Maple-Bourbon Ketchup
Just three ingredients yield a surprisingly flavor "quickie" barbecue sauce. Try it as a dipping sauce for purchased roasted chicken or breaded, baked chicken breast. You can also toss shredded chicken meat with the sauce for a simple pulled-chicken sandwich. (Bonus points if you add cheddar cheese and toast the sandwich in a panini press!)
Juicy Lucy Burger
Southside Minneapolis is home to this three-napkin burger famous for its molten cheese center. Both Matt's Bar and the 5-8 Club claim its creation. No matter the lineage, it's burgerlicious.
Sausage-Fruit Kabobs
Brush sliced zucchini, apple and sausage with an easy-to-make honey-mustard glaze before cooking. Serve with a skewer of toasted bread pieces.
Greek Orzo Salad
Olives and feta give salty punch to this pasta salad from Surdyk's Liquor and Cheese Shop in Minneapolis.
Grilled Portobellos
This simple, flavorful recipe comes from reader Doug Heiken of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. It's a quick, easy recipe to throw together if you have a vegetarian at a cookout.
Chicken Chutney Salad
Jarred mango chutney and raisins add sweetness and mild spice to this chicken salad; trading the usual mayonnaise for yogurt makes it healthier.
Fast Paella
Paella is a snap when you use precooked turkey sausage, precooked shrimp and pouch rice. Serve this delicious dish with warm, crusty bread to sop up the juices at the bottom of your bowl.
Shrimp Fusilli with Sweet-Pea Pesto
Frozen seafood is the rushed cook's friend--here, peeled and deveined shrimp let you skip the prep work. Peas, garlic, mint, butter and vinegar form the pesto.
Steamed Salmon with Lemon and Vegetables
A bed of pretty squash and carrot ribbons seasoned with lemon and herbs gently steams salmon in the oven, yielding moist, flavorful fish—with a veggie side dish built right in!

Washington Big Spenders: Wasteful as Essential
Why Is the Federal Government so Wasteful?
Downsize the Department of Agriculture
The Department of Agriculture spends over $150 billion dollars per year on various programs related to agriculture and food. It spends tens of billions on farm subsidies that largely go to growers of just a few crops: wheat, corn, soybeans, rice, and cotton. Beyond this, it subsidizes food through the federal food stamp program, which is rife with waste and corruption.
Disability Fraud in New York
The New York Times today described a vast Social Security Disability fraud scheme among retired New York City police officers and firefighters. The retirees were collecting tens of thousands of dollars per year in fraudulent SSDI payments by faking various illnesses. Many of the claims stemmed from false allegations of disabilities caused by the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Federal policymakers like to spend money helping people in need, but there are large and less visible costs to such welfare legislation. Here are some reasons why new UI spending is not a good idea:

They want Obama to win just so he can put all the stubborn bitter-clingers and evil reich-wingers in their rightful place.
They want their "I won" Strongman Barry back.
Furthermore, I think Romney will put a scare into Minnesota Democrats.
Maybe so. What would be far more demoralizing is if Bachmann, Cravaack, and John Kline are re-elected. The DFL thinks they redrew the congressional districts in their favor and now they're going to find out if they got their money's worth.

WrapItUp: Developing a New Compensation Plan
W. Earl Sasser Jr.; Rachel Shelton
A restaurant chain based in California offers made-to-order sandwich wraps using fresh, healthy ingredients. The founders of the company take a very active role in day-to-day business and tightly control every aspect of the restaurant operation from hiring store managers to planning the menu. Management is concerned that employee turnover is high, customer satisfaction is decreasing, and revenue growth is flat. The newly hired human resources leader believes addressing employee turnover can help solve the other problems. She develops a profit-sharing program as a pilot at two restaurants. The managers in the pilot program have their compensation tied directly to restaurant profits. The program also allows managers to customize menus, work with local suppliers, and try different promotion ideas. After six months, profits at the pilot locations improve while customer reviews are mixed. The HR manager must review the complete results and decide whether to roll out the pilot program to more locations, modify the program, or abandon it altogether. Students consider the operational challenges of running a service business and the issues related to compensation, change management, and employee autonomy.
Learning objective:
Understand the power and risks of employee enfranchisement. Understand the importance of coordinating a human resource system within an operating system. Explore the role of a founder/entrepreneur in an expanding business.

ASPEN - The Aspen Police Department's annual crime and police-call statistics paint a picture of just how safe and small the town really is.
The stats, which the department released Thursday, show that the biggest problem police faced in 2012 - from a sheer numbers perspective - was the plethora of bears in the city from early summer through mid-autumn.
In 2008, police dealt with 82 calls regarding problem bears. The figure swelled to 351 calls in 2010 and 1,040 last year: a nearly 1,200 percent increase over the four-year period.
Reasons for the big influx of bears last year have been well-documented. Because the spring drought caused a reduction in their natural mountain food supply, such as serviceberries and chokecherries, bears appeared everywhere. The downtown alleys were full of them between midnight and dawn, especially in areas behind restaurants that often failed to secure their garbage containers properly.
During the daytime, bears often could be found atop crabapple and other fruit trees on Main Street, near the Rubey Park bus depot, in the pedestrian malls and around many city parks. Sometimes they attracted huge crowds of visitors and locals despite the police warnings. Often, authorities attempted to chase them out of the city limits, but the bruins would climb a tree or a building and play a waiting game with their pursuers.
It was a big, furry headache for law enforcement.
"The bears took up a huge amount of time and resources," Aspen police chief Richard Pryor said. "At the same time, we felt we really had good cooperation from the community, and people did try to make a difference in their habits in terms of trash and using the right containers.
"It was a handful to manage all the bears," Pryor continued. "But we live within a riparian habitat, and this is where they like to live, so we have to keep continuing to work on improving that dynamic for the bears and for us."
The other number that leaps off the annual crime-stats page relates to alleged instances of fraud. In 2008, there were 55 reports to Aspen police in that category; 2010 saw 54 cases, but the number mushroomed to 175 in 2012 - a 218 percent increase over four years.
Pryor said most of the fraud cases were reported in the spring in relation to the recording of credit-card numbers to make purchases. Police have no strong leads in the case and don't know how the card numbers were obtained.
In March, Sgt. Dan Davis, one of several local policemen fielding fraud-related calls, said it appeared that someone locally was obtaining the numbers, fabricating credit cards and distributing them to people outside the area. In fact, he was a victim: Someone used his credit-card account to make a $300 purchase in Mexico.
"We're not sure how this is happening," Davis told The Aspen Times in mid-March. "There's a lot of different ways people can obtain your number. It could be a skimming operation. ... We know that the cards are being duplicated because the same cards are being used in different parts of the country at the same time."
Davis said it was possible that someone was hacking a computer system to steal credit- and debit-card numbers. Another scenario was that an employee of a particular local business obtained the numbers during the course of business. The purchases were typically small, less than $100, and targeted specific items in lieu of charges for cash. A few transactions topped the $1,000 mark, he said.
In late December, though more allegations of fraud occurred after it was discovered that a skimmer device had been placed around the swiping mechanism of the ATM of a local bank to record debit-card and personal identification numbers. Pryor said most of those transactions occurred in the final week of December and the victims didn't start reporting the thefts until early January, so the stats from that wave of fraud are likely to show up on the 2013 crime report.
Overall, the report suggests that Aspen was a sleepy city in terms of crime. The total number of arrests dropped from 474 in 2008 to 398 last year, a 15 percent decrease.
"This is a pretty safe town," Pryor said. "We really are fortunate to be in the position that we're in."
Drunken-driving arrests fell from 101 to 66, a 35 percent decline over the four years. Ski thefts were down, from 27 in 2008 to seven in 2012. Bicycle thefts were higher over the same time frame, from 74 to 89.
Assault reports are significantly lower, from 98 in 2008 to 45 last year. Pryor said his officers might be categorizing more potential assaults as disorderly conducts than they did before.
"You get into (a possible assault case), and the thinking is, it has to be something a bit more serious," he said. "The degree of injury is important. Broken bones are definitely 'assault' level."
Domestic violence cases are up, from 68 in 2008 to 103 in 2012, but the police chief said he was unsure whether actual instances of the crime are higher or whether people are more likely to report it.
He said his department has less turnover than it did when he took over its reins in late 2007, which may be a factor in the recent stability of community policing. The department counts 24 sworn police officers, five community-safety officers and one part-time wildlife-enforcement officer.
"We've only got about two or three officers coming and going a year," Pryor said. "The turnover was fairly frantic there for a while."

Better Medical Care for Children with Autism
Roll over image to zoom in
If you have a child with an autism spectrum disorder, or know a family affected by Autism, you know that obtaining proper medical care for associated physical health concerns can be another challenge in a life already filled with challenges.
For years, autism has been considered by some, including many insurance companies, as solely a mental health issue. As a result, the physical health issues associated with autism have been ignored; in many cases insurers have not covered medical screenings or treatments for children with an autism diagnosis. In fact, despite increasing awareness of autism in recent times, many doctors still have difficulty providing effective care and treatment for autistic patients.
You can help change this.
The Autism Treatment Network (ATN) is the nation's first to bring hospitals and physicians together with the goal of creating a model of comprehensive care to identify, manage, and treat the physical health conditions of children with autism. The network provides access to doctors who are experienced in helping patients with autism and providing treatment for associated conditions, which commonly include gastrointestinal and sleep disorders. As treatments for these conditions become better defined, the ATN is determined to see that insurers routinely recognize the autism diagnosis and cover physical health treatment.
Help this work continue. Initially, contributions will be used to develop a web-based system for providing technical assistance to primary care providers who are diagnosing and treating children with autism spectrum disorders. Information and access — cornerstones in being able to effectively provide better medical care for children with an autism spectrum disorder.
About Autism Treatment Network
The ATN began as a joint venture between the Northwest Autism Foundation in Oregon and Massachusetts General Hospital for Children in Boston, and was subsequently joined by Cure Autism Now, Autism Speaks™, and the National Alliance for Autism Research, bringing together the three leading organizations dedicated to accelerating and funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and cure for autism spectrum disorders.

Mother Nature created a picture perfect marriage of early winter snow, spectacular scenery and many bright sunny days in the Priest Lake Basin. This natural winter paradise, coupled with the area's love of snowmobiles, has produced a groomed trail system in excess of 400-miles and a local business orientation that caters to snowmobile enthusiasts.
The groomed trail system encircles both Priest Lake and Upper Priest Lake and affords easy access to spectacular powder pushing play areas. Snowmobile trails are mostly on either state or federal forest service roads ranging in elevation from 2,500 to over 7,000-feet. See what you could be experiencing!
- The trails traverse through heavy timber, windswept ridges and snow-filled bowls above the tree line.
- There is no need to trailer your sled to a trailhead either. The trail system can be easily accessed from the doorstep of most of the area's resorts and lodging establishments.
- Snowmobile trail maps are available online by clicking here, or at most businesses in the area.
- Snowmobile rentals are readily available through the recreation equipment rental outlets below and arrangements can be made to deliver your rental sled to your resort.
Priest Lake Powersports - 208.443.2415
Do you thrill at the thought of awe inspiring panoramic views, the beauty of nature's snow castles, and the winter wonderland of deep forests with trees heavily laden with great heaping mounds of snow? If any of this stirs the cockles of your heart, and it's sometime between November and April, you probably need to be loading the sleds and heading for Priest Lake.
