PORTLAND -- A Portland couple has made headlines around the country after the story of their Valentine role playing started spreading like a flash across social media.
The woman and her boyfriend were arrested after their 'role playing' led to several 9-1-1 calls and a police investigation.
At least nine police cars responded Tuesday to reports of a woman bound in duct tape and naked in a man's car.
Nikolas Alexander Harbar, 31, later told police that he and his girlfriend, 26-year-old Stephanie Morgan Pelzner, were doing some Valentine's Day role-playing.
This has now blown up into something that has become tremendously embarrassing for both of them, for their families. They feel terrible about it. They'd wished this had never happened, said Adam Greenman, the couple's attorney.
It was indeed the social media talker story all day Wednesday. It made headlines around the world. On Twitter, one person wrote: I can't stop laughing... Another wrote, They should have stuck with chocolate and flowers.
Here is a 9-1-1 call excerpt:
911 Caller: I said what's going on here? You having some fun or what? And he said, 'Yeah,' he just kinda nodded his head. I looked at her and asked, 'Do you want me to call the cops?' She shook her head no, but you know, her mouth was duct taped and her eyes were just kind of hazy and seemed out of it.
911 call: He said, 'Yeah we're just having some fun' and then he said, 'Um, for the record, thanks for checking because you're the first person who's actually done anything, everyone else has just rolled their eyes.'
Wednesday, outside the courtroom, Harbar and Morgan did not want to talk to reporters.
Their attorney, Greenman called the event regrettable.
In a city where the mantra is 'Keep Portland Weird,' we have naked bike riders and lots of different protests and people who lead alternative lifestyles. This was a silly mistake on their part that has really surprised them with how large it's become, said Greenman.
He went on to explain that the couple has been in a committed relationship for several years and they live together in Northeast Portland.
Initially, the pair was charged with disorderly conduct. The couple's charges were later reduced to a violation. Each will now have to serve 16 hours of community service.
Really, it seems like the problem here is, you know, doing this in public, said Lewis and Clark law professor Tung Yin.
Yin said in this case, the First Amendment would not protection them.
There's really not any sort of message that they're conveying through the game and so I think it would be hard to claim that they were doing an expressive conduct in the first amendment, for 1st amendment purposes and the nudity side of it. The Supreme Court has said nudity is not protected by the first amendment, said Yin.
The couple will return to court next month for a dismissal of the charges and to get their arrests expunged.

QUÉBEC CITY, CANADA (April 1, 2010) InterBox and TKO Boxing Promotions have confirmed that top welterweight prospect Mikael Zewski will mark his Canadian professional debut on Friday, May 28th as he returns to his home province to battle at the Pepsi Coliseum in Quebec City. The 21 year old native of Trois-Rivières, Quebec, will be the featured undercard bout to the highly anticipated showdown between legendary Quebec former world champion Eric Lucas and perennial contender Librado Andrade. The rest of the undercard will be stacked with Quebec City boxers Pier-Olivier Côté, Eric Martel and also Benoit Gaudet from Drummondville, Québec..
Im very excited to be fighting in Quebec City on May 28th on the same card as Eric Lucas. He is a hero to many people in Quebec and for many years I have watched and admired him and truly look forward to fighting on the same card as him. said Zewski.
This past Thursday night, March 25th, Zewski stayed perfect in his young professional career stopping Mexicos Moses Alvizo as part of FIGHT NIGHT AT THE COMMERCE 2 in Los Angeles, California. With devastating power from both hands doing damage throughout the first two rounds, Zewski earned the stoppage when Alvizo elected not to return for the third stanza.
Impressing the huge broadcast audience on Canadas "Super Channel along with the packed house at the Commerce Casino, Zewski improved to 2-0-0, both wins coming by knockout.
Continued Zewski, Im much more comfortable fighting as a professional than as an amateur as I believe it suits my style much better, hopefully the knockouts will keep coming.
Said Chet Koerner, President of TKO Boxing Promotions, Mikael is one of the fastest rising stars in boxing. The fans in Los Angeles were just stunned by his punching power and the audiences watching on Super Channel have gotten an opportunity to watch one of the best prospects in the sport.
Mikael brings an electricity to the ring that the fans at the Pepsi Coliseum will be thrilled to be a part of.
Further details about Zewskis bout will be announced shortly.
Tickets for this Interbox event officially go on sale on Thursday, April 1st 2010 starting at 10AM. Boxing fans and sports enthusiasts can purchase their tickets at the Pepsi Coliseum Box Office, or through the Billetech network by dialing 418-691-7211 (toll free: 1-800-900-SHOW) or by going online to: www.billetech.com.

Canadian Welterweight Champ Victor Lupo Returns to Montreal Eyeing Redemption This Saturday
TORONTO March 31, 2010 Its been over two years since Victor Lupo (17-1-2, 9 KOs) last fought in Canadas national hotbed of boxing, the Province of Quebec.
And despite the fact that Lupo stopped native son Leonardo Rojas in Montreal s Bell Centre in February of 2008 to claim the Canadian
Welterweight championship, the Romanian-born Toronto resident is returning to boxing-crazed Montreal with a point to prove.
After going undefeated (16-0-1, 8 KOs) to start his professional career, Lupo has been relatively underwhelming in his last three fights, going 1-1-1 since November of 2007, including the tougher-than-anticipated win over Rojas, as well as his first career loss (MD 8 to Paul Clavette), and a surprising draw to unheralded Mexican Ulises Jimenez.
When Lupo steps in with the upset-minded Antonio Soriano (15-10-2, 10 KOs) this Saturday at the Casino de Montreal, itll be to erase all doubts, and to recapture the attention of the boxing world.
A victory over Soriano could set up a showdown with undefeated Kevin Bizier (9-0, 6 KOs), of Sainte-Emile, Quebec (also set to appear Saturday on the card at Casino de Montreal) for Lupos Canadian title, or perhaps even a shot at Junior Witter when the former WBC Junior Welterweight champion debuts at 147 lbs.
Theres been a lot of talk about Bizier wanting a piece of Lupo, but so far its been nothing but media fodder, said Zoran Konevic, President of World Champion Group (WCG).
But if Victor looks good, and Bizier gets by his man Saturday, I think negotiations will start in earnest.
Getting by Soriano, however might appear easier on paper, then in reality.
Soriano had lost four fights in a row, and seven of ten, before shockingly holding then undefeated super-slugger Tyrone Brunson to a draw in August of 2008, and has since won three of four, including two straight.
Event Aims to Motivate Las Vegas Youth And Serve As A Call to Action For Absentee Fathers
(Las Vegas, NV April 1, 2010) Future Hall of Fame Boxer, Winky Wright, and Las Vegas premiere childcare provider, Little Annies, team up with the National Fatherhood Initiative for the Get Wright Block Party on April 30th. Little Annies executives and Wright organized the event to encourage the youth to Get Wright or realize their potential. Wright will personally share his encouraging journey in the boxing world in hopes of inspiring the children to achieve their goals.
The event will also serve a call to action for absentee fathers to Get Wright by assuming their responsibilities. Little Annies provides services for many children of single-mothers, however, the presence of fathers is lacking. Wright says, I think Little Annies is doing a great job in the community and with these children. We want them to have a good time at the party but our goal is to help the kids see their greatness despite their circumstance. It hurts to see them suffer with no fathers guiding them. This event isnt to pass judgment but to show the impact these men can have just from being in their childs lives. Additionally, single-fathers will be honored at the event to highlight their hard work and help serve as positive examples of paternal impact
Its all relative for these kids says Little Annies Director, Francis Thompson. There are many women doing their best alone, yet, a fathers role cannot be filled by them. The absence of the father plays into the childrens self esteem and self worth. Im glad weve found a fun way to speak to the youth and further the duty dialogue among the men.
Fathers play a unique and irreplaceable role in their childrens lives, said Roland C. Warren, president of National Fatherhood Initiative. With 24 million children growing up in father-absent homes today, Little Annies and Winky Wright are to be applauded for their efforts to inspire their community to help men become involved, responsible, and committed fathers. The National Fatherhood Initiative will provide resources and information at the event for those who are actively seeking ways to rebuild their father-child relationship.
The event is open to the public and will be held from 4pm 6pm at Little Annies, 1720 West Bonanza Road, Las Vegas, NV.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued a long-awaited declaratory ruling governing when a company is liable under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), and FCC telemarketing and autodialing rules, for violations committed by a third party that the company authorizes to sell its goods or services but does not directly ask or otherwise engage to telemarket, by holding that the company may be vicariously liable under federal common law principles of agency for TCPA violations that the third party commits.
The FCC ruling arises out of two TCPA cases involving telemarketing of Dish satellite TV services: one, a "private attorney general" case brought in Ohio federal court, Charvat v. EchoStar Satellite, and another brought by the United States for the FTC and Attorneys General from California, Illinois, North Carolina, and Ohio in Illinois federal court, U.S. v. Dish Network. Charvat sued EchoStar for calls made by independent contractors who had retailer agreements with EchoStar to advertise, promote and solicit orders for its programming, and to install and activate equipment for receiving it. EchoStar defended on grounds it did not place any illegal calls to Charvat, did not operate or control the equipment that initiated the calls, did not provide the retailers with phone numbers or instruct them to place calls, and – until Charvat filed suit – did not even know the retailers made the calls. The government suit involved similar issues.
The trial court dismissed the Charvat suit, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, after inviting input from the FCC, referred the question of EchoStar's vicarious liability to the agency under the doctrine of primary jurisdiction. The Illinois court stayed its case pending FCC resolution as well. Petitions invoking the FCC's declaratory ruling authority followed, resulting in the present order.
Even before Charvat, it had long been clear that under FCC (and Federal Trade Commission (FTC)) rules, when a company outsources telemarketing calls to be made on its own behalf, and the calls violate the law or rules, both the telemarketer and the company that hired it can be liable. The present ruling addresses what happens when a company simply allows others to market its goods or services, without instructing or encouraging them to telemarket, and the third party places non-compliant calls under the TCPA or hires a telemarketer that does so.
The declaratory ruling clarifies that such a company, i.e., the "seller" in TCPA parlance, is not directly liable unless it initiates the non-compliant call, but may be vicariously liable "under a broad range of agency principles, including not only formal agency, but also principles of apparent authority and ratification." The FCC recognized that a seller can concurrently be a telemarketer and thus be directly liable for non-compliant calls – e.g., when it initiates a call on its own behalf, or when it is intrinsically involved in specific calls by third parties by, e.g., giving them specific and comprehensive instructions as to calls' timing, manner, etc. However, beyond that, actions taken to benefit a seller by a third party, without more, do not trigger TCPA liability for the seller.
Rather, the FCC held, sellers may be liable for non-compliant conduct by third parties marketing the seller's goods or services, if the seller is aware of "ongoing conduct encompassing numerous acts" by the third party, and the seller fails to terminate the third party and/or promotes or "celebrates" the third party's conduct. In that circumstance, the seller has the ability, through its authorization to the third party, to oversee the conduct, even if that supervisory power is unexercised. In such cases, liability is determined based on "general common law" agency-related principles, rather than the law of any particular state, though it is not limited to classical agency principles, but rather also includes apparent authority and ratification as bases for vicarious seller liability.
Factors for when such liability attaches may include whether the seller grants a third party the ability to access data from or enter information into systems normally under the seller's exclusive control (e.g., about the nature and pricing of a seller's products/services, or customer information), the third party's right to use a seller's trade name, trademark, etc., and whether the seller approved, wrote or reviewed the third party's telemarketing scripts. A seller is also responsible for unauthorized conduct of a third party that is otherwise authorized to market on the seller's behalf, if the seller knows (or reasonably should know) the third party is violating the TCPA and/or FCC rules on the seller's behalf, and fails to take effective steps within its power to halt that conduct, similar to how the FTC has imposed liability under its rules in the past.
These broad outlines will have to be tested by specific cases, but in the meantime, companies can protect themselves by exercising diligence in selecting and monitoring reputable marketers, and by including indemnification clauses in contracts with third-party marketers.

This will be a 10-part series in which Mike Long sets out the basic framework of his trophy bass fishing methods. Think of it as the "big picture."
This week I got another reminder of how cool it was to win the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year title. I was given a guitar!
When 30-year-old aspiring bass pro Jonathan Carter launches his Bass Cat on the first day of the 2013 Bassmaster Classic, he'll be breaking new ground.
OK, here's something you might not know about me. I'm a hip hop rapper with a couple of recorded songs.
Randy Parker of North Carolina's Five County Bassmasters was honored in his community as "Teacher of the Week."
Consistent weights put teacher on top for final day.
Most everyone has a person who pushed or inspired them, but for Matthew Palmer, it wasn't a who, it was college bass fishing.
B.A.S.S. writer Don Barone addresses an open letter to Elite Series champion Brandon Palaniuk after his first Elite win at the TroKar Quest on Bull Shoals Lake, Ark.
My career has rewarded me with some beautiful trophies over the years, but a very special item arrived the other day. An electric guitar.
Third- and fourth-graders in the state are learning bass fishing alongside traditional school subjects.

Graphics Problem
When the character creation screen comes up. Everything but the space in the background is just blocks if solid, muted colors, like construction paper. When I got to the actual selection of character face, body and uniform, the character is invisible. When I start the game, the background of the ship interior and characters are just moving solid colors. The only thing in detail are menu controls, the space outside the windows and the firing of beam weapons.

I've been thinking of what lists I'll take if I make the top 2 at an Imdaar Alpha event (I'm planning on going to 2, 1 in Sydney and 1 in Newcastle). And I've been thinking about lists.
I've had a much easier time thinking of a Rebel list than an Imperial list.
At base bargain points, the Empire is committed to spending a minimum of 56 points on 2 ships. This is very limiting as to what they can take. Also knowing that, the Rebels can build a list to take it down.
I'm planning
HSF (Han, Marksmanship)
As I think the reliable damage coming in from Han will just chew through both the defender and the Phantom quickly (not to mention that the Falcon's turret will prevent much of the Phantoms shenanigans.
But thinking of a list, that includes both a Phantom and a Defender, and then can deal with the range of options that the Rebels can throw..... I'm stumped.

Great container
posted 7 years ago
I use this container for my dog's dry food and store this container in my coat closet. Compared to the loose bags I also have in the closet for the cats, I see the advantage of the solid container that reduces any unwelcome spills from fighting with the bags. I guess I just need to invest in a couple more!
Pros: Holds a large amount of food
Cons: Need one for each pet

Massive Change: Adobe Unifies Flash Player Across Platforms
Adobe has big plans for its Flash Player 10.1. The browser-based edition of its Player runtime should support multiple operating systems.
Among the systems supported in the near term by Flash Player are Windows Mobile, Palm WebOS, Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Later this year beta versions for Android, Symbian and Blackberry should become available. Around 50 partners are participating in the Open Screen Project led by Adobe, working on the unification project. According to Adobe's announcement, the target of their work is currently the browser-based runtime. Among the group are almost all the leading mobile phone manufacturers.
The Flash Player 10.1 features include HD video and leveraging of the accelerated GPU. Mobile devices with the named operating systems that Adobe more or less comprehensively services should include functions such as multitouch and use of the optionally integrated acceleration sensor.
Further details are on the Adobe Labs webpage, which is spiced with a number of video demonstrations.

Study: Uninsured Cost Insured $900 Per Year
WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Health insurance premiums will cost families and employers an extra $922 on average this year to cover the costs of caring for the uninsured, according to a report released Wednesday.
With the added cost, the yearly premiums for a family with coverage through an employer will average $10,979 in 2005, said the report from consumer group Families USA.
By 2010, the additional costs for the uninsured will be $1,502, and total premiums will hit $17,273. In 11 states, the costs of the uninsured will exceed $2,000 per family.
For individuals, the extra charge this year is estimated to be $341 on average, rising to $532 in 2010. Total premium charges for individuals will be $4,065 in 2005, and $6,115 in 2010.
"The stakes are high both for businesses and for workers who do have health insurance because they bear the brunt of costs for the uninsured," said Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA.
Nearly 48 million Americans will lack health insurance for 2005, the report said.
Uninsured patients pay about one-third of the costs of their care provided by doctors and hospitals, the report said.
The remaining costs — more $43 billion in 2005 — are considered "uncompensated care." The government picks up part of the tab and most of the rest is added to insurance premiums for people with health coverage, the report said.
"Ironically, this increases the cost of health insurance and results in fewer people who can afford insurance — a vicious circle," the report said.
The costs for people with insurance vary by state based on a number of variables, including the percentage of uninsured in a state and the amount local, state and federal governments contribute.
The report was based on data from the Census Bureau, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the National Center for Health Statistics and other sources.

Morgan Twelve Clones Pinot Noir 2011
Pinot Noir from Central Coast, California
Winemaker's Notes
This special wine demonstrates the power and finesse of Pinot Noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands. It displays aromas of plum, dark chocolate and cola. Flavors of blackberry and cherry are complemented by notes of leather and black tea. Perfectly poised fruit/acid balance make this incredibly food-versatile. It is a wonderful accompaniment to roast chicken and grilled salmon, as well as almost any duck, beef or lamb preparation.
Critical Acclaim
PinotReport - "Medium-deep ruby color; deep, stewed cherry aromas with earthy notes; rich, deep stewed cherry flavors with bright spice notes; silky texture; good structure and balance; long finish. Rich and bright Pinot with delicious flavors. "
Morgan Winery
The Lee family started Morgan in 1982. Located in the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey, the winery receives grapes from the family's organic vineyard, the Double L Vineyard, and a few select neighbors. The Double L is densely planted with 11 clones of Pinot Noir with rows oriented north-south for optimal sun exposure and interception of the cool breezes from the Monterey bay. This cool low yeilding area is becoming known as the "Cote d'Or of California" and produces wonderful Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Morgan also produces Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah from the various microclimates of Monterey. View all Morgan Winery Wines
About Central Coast
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

CEI Today: Politico wrong on EPA, Dodd-Frank anniversary, and Detroit bankruptcy
Politico Gets It Wrong on EPA Waivers - CHRIS HORNER
Horner on Politico Story: 'When the law is inconvenient, pretend it's something else'
The Competitive Enterprise Institute responded today to a story published by Politico, which takes issue with an earlier CEI review of documents produced after CEI filed suit under the Freedom of Information Act. Politico changed the parameters of the inquiry in material ways - dispensing with legal distinctions not-so-easily walked away from when applying the law as reporting on it.
Openmarket.org: On Dodd-Frank's 3rd Anniversary, "North Star" is Further Out of Reach
In his weekly radio address, the president also hailed the confirmation of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray, which occurred last week after Senate Republicans caved to Majority Leader Harry Reid's "nuclear option" threat to end the filibuster.
Dodd-Frank has declared certain large financial institutions to be "Systemically Important Financial Institutions," enshrining too-big-to-fail in law. And the volumes of regulations emanating from the law's 2,500-plus pages have harmed community banks, credit unions, small businesses, farms and manufacturers that had nothing to do with the crisis.

Free young artists competition this weekend
This weekend, 12 young violinists from China, Bulgaria, Korea, Germany and the United States will gather in Escondido for the ninth annual California International Young Artists Competition and the public is invited to come and watch for free.
The annual event, underwritten by a core of enthusiastic volunteers and philanthropists from North County, draws musicians under the age of 24 from all over the world for bragging rights, performance opportunities and $8,000 in cash prizes. The competition alternates from year to year between pianists and violinists and the Escondido-based CIYAC organization raises prize money and its board members open their homes to house all of the out-of-town musicians during the competition.
Auditions were conducted last week and the field of 67 applicants was winnowed to an even dozen. For the semi-final round on Saturday, violinists will perform in groups of three, in four two-hour blocks beginning at 8 a.m., 10:20 a.m., 1:30 and 3:50 p.m. at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, 340 N. Escondido Blvd. Four to six finalists chosen from this group will compete again at 3 p.m. Sunday and the winners will be announced at 7 p.m. Sunday.
Besides the opportunity to support the all-volunteer organization, the public will have the opportunity to hear some mighty impressive music on Saturday and Sunday. Among the pieces scheduled to be performed from memory are violin works by Brahms, Beethoven, Prokofiev, Franck, Sarasate, Bartok and Saint-Saens.
Admission to all programs is free, but visitors are asked to arrive during the 20-minute breaks between programs and sit quietly so they don't disturb the musicians. For information, visit ciyac.org or call (760) 580-0518.
Rancho Bernardo was the community hit hardest by last month's wildfires, but in an effort to renew its residents' spirits, a free concert and picnic -- featuring the San Diego Symphony -- will bring the community together on Saturday.
"Symphony on the Green: A Tribute to Heroes" will be presented from noon to 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Rancho Bernardo Community Park, 18448 W. Bernardo Drive. The concert will feature performances by the San Marcos High Jazz Ensemble, the San Diego Children's Choir, a recognition program for local volunteers, firefighters and others who "saved, inspired, helped and protected Rancho Bernardo" and a one-hour concert by the Symphony from 2 to 3 p.m.
The concert is being underwritten by the RB Town Center Merchants Association and numerous other local businesses and media outlets. Admission is free, but parking will be very limited (and street parking around the park is prohibited), so picnickers are encouraged to drive to the parking lot of Hewlett-Packard at 16550 W. Bernardo Drive and take a free shuttle to the park. Shuttle service will begin at 10 a.m.
El Camino High School Principal Dan Daris was recently honored with the "Administrator of the Year" award by the California Educational Theatre Association.
The Oceanside principal was recognized by CETA for his contributions and promotion of theater to his school and community. At the awards luncheon in October, he had the opportunity to meet with the event's keynote speaker, actor John Lithgow, and hear Lithgow speak about the importance of theater education in today's schools.

These boots arrived today (SUPERFAST DELIVERY, SO IMPRESSED!) and OMG I LOVE them!! They are beautiful. The leather is buttery soft, and the quality of the craftsmanship is excellent. They are extremely soft and comfortable. The colour looks lighter than the pictures online, and at first i had to double check the website to make sure i was sent the right colour. Also, i don't think these are true to size. I wear an Italian 37.5, and so i ordered a 7.5 as they were made in italy...and they are half a size too big. I don't want to send them back for exchange as not free for international exchanges, so i will just wear them with an insole and thick socks. I will definitely be getting these in other colours, they are a gorgeous boot.
These boots are gorgeous! I ordered them in taupe, and the color is definitely darker than this picture. To see the true color, refer to the Loeffler Randall Riley Over the knee boot in taupe, also sold by Revolve. That is a more accurate photo. I normally wear a size 6.5 US, but they were sold out so I had to buy a size 7, which I am very happy with. A 6.5 would have just fit with tights or very thin socks. My toes would be squished and would touch the front. With the size 7, I can wear anything from tights to regular socks and have no slippage and ample room for toe comfort without them being too long in length, either. My calves are average, slightly muscular, and the boot shaft fits perfect with still some room for skinny jeans. My only complaint is that it looks as though someone has broken them in before me or they were a floor model, tried on several times. The soles are a little discolored, showing slight wear, and there are deep creases across the top of the foot, where the toes bend. For the price, I am disappointed in the condition and in Revolve for not inspecting thoroughly. If a previous customer returned them in this condition, Revolve should not have accepted them. I will probably try to exchange them for another pair.
Colour - much darker than in the picture. Fit - I'm normally a 6.5 but got a 7 after reading the reviews, width was good but length was a bit too long so in summary its good for people with long skinny type feet. Looks great but a bit big on the calf, may be due to sizing up half a size. Although the leather looks great, the frame around the front of the feet is quite hard so there is a "bending cardboard" feeling when you walk. I think they would be quite good for people with thin long feet.
I was a little worried that these won't fit me as I don't have skinny calves, but they fit perfectly! I can even wear them with jeans tucked inside. They are true to size and the colour is perfect and the style is very long lasting.....it's an investment i won't regret!
Best. Boots. Ever. Hands down. These are beautifully made, classic, sleek, can be dressed up or down, and work with dresses as well as over skinny jeans. I'm about 5'5" and they come to just under my knee, and have a nice slender calf which doesn't gap (like most boots do on me). The color is gorgeous; you never know with a taupe what'll actually be in the box but the Revolve photos are very true representations of the color here, and they go with everything. I could've spent twice the money buying several different pairs of not-quite-right boots, so I'd consider these a very worthwhile investment.

Double Helping of Chandler and Wilde
By Liam Rudden Arts and
Taggart creator takes on prejudice
PREJUDICE lies at the heart of the two very different plays that Taggart creator and ex-Royal High pupil Glenn Chandler has chosen to co-produce with writer and director Patrick Wilde on at this year's Fringe.
The first, which Chandler also penned, is a camp romp through middle-England in the days when men smoked pipes and the Colonies were there to be ruled.
Boys of the Empire, set in a 1920s public school, finds the pupils embroiled in plot by some 'shifty foreigners' to blow up their alma mater in response to British intervention in Mesopotamia, a country Whitehall has just christened Iraq.
The second piece, What's Wrong With Angry? addresses homophobia, and was written and first staged by Wilde in 1992 as a response to Section 28 legislation, which prohibited schools and local authorities from depicting homosexual relationships as an acceptable lifestyle.
For Chandler, donning a producer's hat, which has involved him in every aspect of the production from painting the set to sourcing the costumes, has come as a welcome return to his roots in Fringe theatre.
"Taggart was extremely good to me and gave me a wonderful 16 years," he says. "After Taggart I worked for Yorkshire Television on True Crime Dramas and Dalziel and Pascoe for the BBC. Eventually I had a kind of watershed moment when I thought, 'What do I really want to do?'
"I had started in theatre on the Fringe in London, way before Taggart, and I wanted to have some fun again, fun being the operative word.
"You see, the one thing about a Taggart is that once it's done and on DVD, it is there forever. It doesn't matter how many times you watch it, it is exactly the same. The great thing about theatre is that it changes every night. The audience change it every night. And that was a world I wanted to go back to, I wanted to get involved with real people again."
Together, Chandler and Wilde, who directs both plays, have struck up a robust working relationship, thanks to a happy co-incidence.
"Patrick and I had the same agent. Patrick wanted to bring Angry up to Edinburgh and we realised that Angry and Boys had interchangeable casts – suddenly a light bulb went on," explains Chandler.
Wilde takes up the tale, "We had met before, socially. Obviously, I was familiar with Glenn's work and he had seen a couple of plays that I had directed. So far, it's worked out really well, we're still waiting to have our first row," he laughs.
"However, having got through the run up to the Fringe without one, I don't think it will ever happen. It was so stressful, but that's Edinburgh, and doing two shows is completely insane."
Both plays were rehearsed over a gruelling five week period – the cast would work on one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.
"What is interesting about Angry and Boys is that, although Glenn's is out-and-out comedy with a satirical message, both plays are about tolerance and intolerance. The simple message of both pieces is that if everybody was just a bit nicer to each other the world would be a better place," says Wilde.
What's Wrong With Angry? deals with the intolerance many young gay people have to deal with when they decide to come out and reveal their sexuality.
Wilde says, "It is important to remember that although it is a period piece, I have had people come up to me after the show and talk about how they would never have dreamed of coming out at school.
"There are braver boys who do come out, but it's still hard. My philosophy is that it is much easier to be gay now than it ever was, but it is no easier to come out than it ever was."
Chandler's piece on the other hand addresses good old fashioned British xenophobia.
"I have always been fascinated by the British occupation of Iraq in the 1920s," he says, recalling the play's origins. "I was doing some research into Lawrence of Arabia and discovered some letters he had written to The Times newspaper in an archive – I thought, 'Somebody could be writing this to The Times today. He used sentences like, 'We are storing up bloodshed for ourselves in Iraq.'
"So I wanted to set a piece in that era but I didn't want to write anything that was particularly preachy. Instead I wrote it in the style of a Boys Own story and brought out the message by making it funny but with a sting in the tale."
That sting is where both plays have their second message, "Nobody learns from history."
A sad but true indictment of modern society, told with humour and, in the case of Angry, a bumping high energy soundtrack.

The idea that a 17 year old should be a juvenile the same as a 10 year old, or that he should be considered an adult the same as a 30 year old is pretty stupid, IMO.

If I leave my purse sitting on the front seat of an unattended car, I am just asking to have my window broken and it stolen. That doesn't mean that the person who steals it isn't guilty of a crime.
And it's not right for someone to steal your purse but if you keep leaving it in the front seat, eventually it might happen. You need to be careful and responsible with your property. Just like getting stupid drunk at a party. You hope nothing goes wrong but you are no longer able to take care of yourself. You are at the mercy of others. In this case, stupid, drunk, horny teenagers.
Congress - Bingo with billions (Red Skeleton)
Consider this: if there are some under 18 who are adults and should be tried as adults, are there ever any over 18 who are juveniles and should be tried as juveniles?
I think some of the important features of law are consistency and clarity. And trying people "as adults" just about destroys both of those. Chose 21, chose 18, choose 16 but then stick to it. Or have a tiered system: >21 adult, <16 juvenile and in between first a hearing on deciding whether adult or juvenile. But one important factor of law and punishment is that people know before hand exactly what the rules and what the consequences of violating them are. I do not know if I am in favor of a tiered system.
But if you must have a tired system, how about this: 18 is the demarcation age, <16 always juvenile, >21 always adult, and in between we can only make an exception re the 18 rule under the standard of beyond a reasonable doubt evidence. You see, I suspect that determination of "as an adult" is now done under a much laxer standards, perhaps "preponderance of evidence."
Everyone receives equal treatment. Everyone's not as good at representing themselves.
It's like when a parent looks to punish two siblings who were out beyond curfew. One sibling just accepts it and the other sibling says "I was helping my friend change his flat tire. Here: I have video that shows this in case you don't believe me." They might be more lenient because that could be a valid excuse for being late and thus they didn't actually do anything wrong.
For your frame of mind to actually make sense, you have to know that two people are equally guilty. That's the entire point of court: to establish those facts and allow a jury of peers (or a judge) to make that judgment.
You're only calling it semantics because you don't want to admit that you're wrong.

The latest entry takes as its subjects men and women "of a certain age," making it a fine choice for Baby Boomers and their admirers.

More than 1,700 would be cut down to governor's salary
Clearly, the biggest impact of the bill would be on the prison system. Eighty percent of the salaries slated to be cut are those of prison physicians, psychiatrists, dentists and nurses.
That means Anderson's bill could also exacerbate one of the state's current challenges — complying with federal oversight of the prison health system based on the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
Filling the doctor and nurse vacancies is one of the goals established by the receiver who has overseen the state's prison health system since 2006 after a federal court ruled the services available to inmates amounted to cruel and unusual punishment.
The state has struggled to fill the positions under current salary rates, even with some paid twice Brown's salary.
Sue Wilson, spokeswoman with the Union of American Physicians and Dentists, said the bill wouldn't just prevent the state from meeting constitutional requirements.
"It would be a disaster, basically, if they were really limited to the amount that the bill suggests," Wilson said. "It would really compromise the state's ability to provide even a basic level of medical care that we have to provide for prisoners or disabled people."
If passed, Anderson's bill would take effect Jan. 1, but many state employees wouldn't see pay cuts until their current contracts expire. Though the receiver doesn't set health care salaries, those positions would also be exempt until the receiver returns control of the prison health system to the state.
The bill will go before the Senate Standing Committee on Governmental Organization today. It was supported last week by Sen. Juan Vargas, D-San Diego.

Know the difference between tempered and heat-resistant glass
Newly launched cookware includes one which cuts cooking time for eggs, pancakes
More News from Raoul J. Chee Kee
A South Korean brand specializing on food storage aims to grow its product line this year with the addition of glass food containers and a much wider range of specialty cookware.
The Lock & Lock brand is very much familiar to many Filipinos, especially those with school-age kids. The technology behind its airtight, four-sided interlocking containers has won over millions of customers worldwide.
According to the China Brand Index, 93 percent of Chinese are aware of the brand, said Jay Jeoung, Lock & Lock deputy general manager for Europe and Asia. The brand's annual revenues have grown from $323 million in 2010 to $423 million in 2012.
"We expanded to Vietnam, Indonesia, Taiwan and the Philippines, but in China we opened 20 new branches. Lock & Lock now has eight plants—one in Korea, three in China and four in Vietnam," Jeoung said.
Lock & Lock recently hosted a familiarization trip for Philippine media and local suppliers to its Ho Chi Minh plants. We visited three of the four plants that produce water bottles, glassware and cookware. The factories are located near each other so we were able to check out the production lines and see how things were made and quality control was maintained.
Fans of Hello Kitty can look forward to pink Lock & Lock tumblers and snack containers bearing the famous cat's face. "We're still waiting for the go-signal to carry Hello Kitty, but we expect to get it before the end of the year," said Raphael L. Chua, marketing manager of Sawasdee Marketing Corp., exclusive distributor of Lock & Lock products in the Philippines.
"What our customers can expect by August is a full range of glass containers and specialty cookware. This is really what we are excited about," he said.
Tempered vs heat-resistant
Unlike other glass containers made of tempered glass, the ones manufactured by Lock & Lock use heat-resistant or borosilicate glass—which contains boron trioxide in addition to silicon dioxide, making it thermal-resistant even in the absence of additional treatment.
To see the difference, we were made to peer through a special thermal film that showed how tempered glass had "rainbows," while heat-resistant glass remained clear. The rainbows mean that stress is unevenly distributed in tempered glass, while there is almost no stress in heat-resistant glass, which is due to the slow cooling process during manufacturing.
Homemakers and mothers with young children will appreciate the fact that heat-resistant glass will not shatter if it breaks, unlike tempered glass which can result in scattered fragments once it breaks.
Lock & Lock's glass containers can be used in different environments, including ovens, microwave ovens at 400 ºC and freezers. The current range consists of the Euro line which received a Red Dot Design Award in Germany in 2011; the Clear line which is more suitable for storing food and side dishes; and Glass Ovenware with detachable silicon handles that remain cool when food is cooked in an oven.
Complete range
Chua said Lock & Lock's complete range of cookware, including Speed Cook, Ceramic, Deco, and Milky, will be available in August. The oddly named Milky is a line of pots and saucepans.
He was particularly excited about Speed Cook because it cuts cooking time for eggs, bacon, pancakes, stir-fried noodles and other common food items.
"Many Filipinos now live hectic lives. It's a big deal for them if they are able to shave minutes off their daily chores, like cooking. This was one of the most repeated comments we received from customers when we introduced the Speed Cook pans," he said.
The complete range of Lock & Lock cookware costs around P10,000; customers usually try them out by buying one or two pieces. "Many of them come back after a week to complete the range of eight pieces," Chua said.
It remains to be seen whether Lock & Lock will achieve its target this year to become the world's No. 1 brand in storage containers. But its merchandise mix should be a big draw.
Lock & Lock is available at Shangri-La Mall, Eastwood City Libis, Glorietta 4, Alabang Town Center, Banilad Cebu, Lucky Chinatown and Araneta Mega Storage.
