ESTO — The Esto Town Council approved the final reading and held a public hearing of an ordinance to increase the town's water rates on Tuesday, May 7.
The rates will increase to $19 inside town limits and $21 outside the town limits for the first 3,000 gallons and $4 per thousand gallons over 3,000 gallons as well as $1 per month per meter for fire protection, $125 for security deposits, $200 for connection fees and $500 for tap-in fees.
The rates will take effect immediately and will be reflected on the statements mailed out in June.
Landowner Brady Well Brady Well made an offer to sell his property to the town for $36,000. The property has been used by visitors as extra parking during the Two-Toe Tom Festival.
Town Clerk Jody Sellers informed the council that the property was appraised at $7,500.
"I suggest we send him a letter letting him know we appreciate him for letting us use it for the festival and at the present time it is not in our budget," said Chairman Danny Powell. "However, we are interested and if we have enough in our budget by the next festival we'll make him a substantial offer."
The council also discussed their current maintenance man, due to the fact that his one-year raise was up for review.
"He does good work," said Powell. "He's a jack of all trades and can do just about anything. We just have to work on his time management."
The council approved of giving him a five percent pay increase.
The council also approved a resolution and supplemental agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation.
Sellers explained that there was an agreement with the FDOT to pay the town for maintaining the sides of State Road 79 within the town limits for $2,533.86 a quarter and they were requesting an extension of their agreement from June 30 to Sept. 30.
"I don't see where we have a choice," said Powell. "We need the money."
The council agreed to look into getting a getting a grant for additional playground improvements at the park.
"We've noticed an increase of the use of the tennis courts and would like to expand for more recreational options for older children and teens," said Powell.
Council members also agreed with Council member Darlene Madden's suggestion to look into improving the recreational center by possibly repairing the kitchen's cabinets, new tile floors for the bathrooms, reinforcing the window seats and putting a new seal on the concrete floor.
"Women have the tendency to notice things in the kitchen," said Madden. "It's nice that we've got a new roof, but we need to do something about the inside because we've got these women coming in for family reunions and cooking and it's just an awful sight. How are we going to get more people to rent out the recreational center when it's looking like that?"
Powell informed the council that there had been acts of vandalism on the dock at the park.
"We've patched it up the best we can until we can get the parts we need and in the color we want because when I went up there to get what we need they didn't have it in the color we needed," said Powell. "I'll keep looking for our color and I'll also get quotes to see if we can get the whole thing replaced in red or cedar."
The council approved of moving the Two-Toe Tom Festival to the first weekend in April instead of the second.
"We just can't compete with Toad Lick," said Madden.
Council members agreed that it should be mandatory that maintenance workers work a full day before and on the day of the Two-Toe Tom Festival.
Madden also informed them that the Esto Fire Department would be covering the Two-Toe Tom Beauty Pageant concession stand and that additional outlets would be required for B&B Inflatables to return to the next festival.
Further discussion of the festival took place, including the possibility of a new soundman and increasing the entertainment to cover both sides of the park.
Powell informed them that they made a profit of $1,206 at last year's event.
The Esto Town Council will meet again at 7 p.m. on June 3.

Sweet little clip. This thing is a great feature.
(Posted on 6/13/14)
I put the clip on the clip upside down so I can hang my iPhone from my favorite lanyard.
(Posted on 11/26/13)
I was really excited when I saw this sport clip. I religiously carry a pocket knife with a similar style of clip and love it. However, the amount of "girth" that his adds to your phone makes it really difficult to use on a regular basis. It really is huge! It looks to me like it could have been made much slimmer. Plus it's really expensive.
However, it is very strong and once you've clipped it to something you can confidently know that it's not going anywhere.

Inner Traditions, 0892819715, 240 pp. (incl. appendix, bibliography and index), 1998, 2003
What image comes to mind when you read the phrase "Witchcraft Medicine"? Do you see a crone bent over a cauldron, muttering under her breath? Do you imagine a dark peasant hovel in the Middle Ages? Me, too! The subtitle of this volume, translated from a German edition of 1998, helps to clear away some of the misconceptions before the cover is even opened however. "Healing Arts, Shamanic Practices, and Forbidden Plants" lets the reader know that the topic will range far beyond narrow preconceptions.
The book is profusely illustrated with old woodcuts, drawings and full-colour photographs. Quotations from numerous sources, ancient , medieval, and modern appear frequently in sidebars. There are charts listing various plants and their associations with planets, deities, and symbolism. Continue reading

President's Research Fund Competition Announces Next Round
The President's Research Fund (PRF) supports promising research projects that have strong potential to attract external grant funding.
$500,000 will be distributed in the next round to support research activity.
The deadline for this round of applications is May 2, 2011.
New This Round: Cross-College Collaborative Proposals Requested
While historically the PRF award has not exceeded $25,000, the May 2011 competition includes funding of up to $50,000 for four (4) projects that reflect cross-college collaborations. These awards are intended to support multidisciplinary collaborations across the Saint Louis University campus.
Eligible projects will cross traditional boundaries among academic disciplines and are expected to involve Co-Principal Investigators (Co-PIs) from different schools/colleges. Successful applications will effectively convey how the particular disciplines contribute synergistically to the project, and how the project will advance the field(s).
A multiple-PI approach is required, but the application must indicate which PI will have administrative responsibilities (including communication with the Division of Research Administration).
Further details regarding eligibility and requirements are available in the PRF guidelines and application template, accessed through SLU Electronic Research Services (eRS), at https://ers.slu.edu.
Investigators with additional questions may call Emily Beck at 977-7742 for further information.

The Women's Studies program represents an interdisciplinary approach to the integration of feminist scholarship into established academic programs and addresses the following objectives:
1) to provide opportunities to examine the traditional images of women, to explore misconceptions, and to envision new possibilities;
2) to provide opportunities to learn about the social construction of gender as it interacts with class, race, age, ethnicity, nationality, and sexual identity in a variety of settings, cultures, and times; and 3) to increase the range of career options by providing skills and pre-professional education in a liberal arts framework. Women's Studies is excellent preparation for graduate school and for careers in areas that affect women's lives, such as counseling, teaching, work with civil/environmental rights organizations, displaced homemakers programs, fund-raising organizations, political action groups, publications, reproductive services, and women's centers.

There's some interesting things to be seen on those models. First, an omniwheel on the Trent, and what is the custom board for (mounted above the NXT)? He seems to be using the stock light sensors for "vision", which is surprising to me (wide FOV on those, I would think). On Dribbler, where did he get those cables? Interesting...

Thanks for the comments Brian. (BTW, thanks for your comments a while back defending MDPers for not having contributed to the Profile pages... you exactly described my situation.)
The omniwheel is something that I probably shold've mentioned in my description. It's not LEGO, but it's something that I would dearly love to see LEGO manufacture. Given the constraints of designing a compact and robust robot, I found that a dolly wheel was not nearly as effective as an omniwheel.
The board sitting on the NXT is a Wiltronics RoboBall Compass sensor (http://www.wiltronics.com.au/news.php?newsid=6). They're very commonly used in RoboCup Junior Australia.
Wide FOV can certainly be an issue with both the RCX and NXT light sensors. What alternatives would you suggest for vision?
The cables from the Dribbler version were ones that I built following Philo's instructions (http://www.philohome.com/nxtplug/nxtplug.htm).

I agree that a good LEGO omniwheel would be a wonderful thing for robotics. Approaches like Steve Hassenplugs or third party ones like yours are good (where did you get it, BTW? How well does it mount? Any wiggle? is it free-spinning, or can it be driven by the axle to use as a drive wheel?), but I'd still really like to see a LEGO version.
As to the wide FOV, you can always narrow it with structures. For the old-style RCX light sensor, one technique ("technic"? ;-) ) was to aim the phototransistor through the hole in a 1x2 Technic brick, or to overwise construct "blinders" out of plates or bricks. I've not tried this on the NXT version yet (haven't needed to), but I probably will when I get back to detailed line-following.
I'd love to see videos of the dribbler in action.

I purchased the omniwheel from Educational Experience (http://www.edex.com.au/) in Australia, but I couldn't seem to find it when I looked in their online catalogue just now. I've no idea where it was manuactured, but I could check.
The best thing about this particular omniwheel is that a pair of LEGO bushings just happen to fit snugly within the central shaft. A small amount of pressure was required to get them in there, but with an axle to help guide and align the bushings, and a table top to press against, I've now go a LEGO-friendly omniwheel. There's no wiggle on the bushings/axle and I didn't need any glue. (I'd better not want to get those bushings back out though...)
I haven't used it as a drive wheel (yet), but I think it will work for this quite nicely.
It didn't occur to me to include a video (duh!). I'll put that on my 'to do' list as well... along with the building plans...

You know, you can make a lego omniwheel without too much difficulty. I am eighteen and no genius, but i made one just yesterday and it's sitting in front of me. It's my second version, so i'm sure that other people have figured it out. It's got six wheels on it because i used two of those three bladed rotors from old legos. I have video (i think) of my old robot that i made with four wheeled omniwheels using them for drive and it worked ok, but it bounced around a lot because it only had four wheels per omniwheel. I'm planning on buying more rotors so i can remake that robot with the new six-wheel omnis. email me if you want to see pics. email@example.com

Recently, President Obama had a couple of events where he had a chance to
speak read his teleprompter to a bunch of people apparently born yesterday.
Oh it was a hoot, he read that same joke he's been telling for a month now about how he isn't seeing the Armageddon outside his window that conservatives promised when health care deform passed.
Oh it's just so funny! I wonder if after the first day of diagnosis a terminal medical patient that was given months to live would be so glib.
HAHA yeah right doc, MY ASS, I'm gonna die, I feel great and you're just a big fat quack so give me that chemo in a shot glass....I'll....gulp....show you.....
See I still have my hair! Look outside do YOU see Armageddon?!?
Just call me Mr. Right Now 'cuz I only live in the mom-...ulp...barfing now...but it's not the chemo, I'm just drunk on arrogance.
Speaking around the same time as the tax day Tea Party rallies Obama had this to say about those rallies (the video I found has been juxtaposed with a comment rising GOP star Paul Ryan.
So Barack thinks we should be thanking him....people who opt to give out trail mix instead of candy on Halloween expect a thank you too.
Even though I did indeed receive some BS $400 credit along with "95% of working families," (rich people don't work, apparently they just crap money like they're human ATM's). Now all I have to do now is figure out how that money going unspent on Uncle Barack is supposed to help me.
Is he still going to expect a thank you when his trillion dollar deficit exacerbating policies, not counting ObamaCare, will demand tax hikes for more than just the rich?
I've thought about this a bit and wondered if Obama even remotely has a point. Does he deserve thanks? After some thought I came up with a few reasons we can try to utter the word "thanks" a few times before we start to produce more vomit than a bulimia convention:
Thank you President Obama for making it cool to say, "I make teleprompters."
Thank you for bowing to world leaders in a show of humility and defying those who thought that position should be reserved for public restrooms and pornos.
Thank you for making political logos cool again, swastika ruined it for everyone for so long that they almost went the way of the 19th century corset wearing dodo bird working for the pony express.
Thank you for reminding us all that a generation after the end of the Cold War "socialism" is still a four letter word.
Also, thank you for letting Biden know "four letter word" is just an expression that can be used on any word as a euphamism for his favorite word...and he can stop trying to count the letters in
socialism soshallizm because the math wont work out anyway.
Thank you for a tagline that is easy to rhyme and therefore easy to mock. It would've been a lot harder if you used "orange," which for you it would've made just as much sense as using "hope" and "change."
Finally, for a while with President Bush we all thought government spending couldn't possibly get worse if he had literally taken all of our money and just threw it into some volcano in Ice...land.....huh......Well anyway, thank you Mr. President for making trillion the new billion.
I'm sure there are more reasons to thank the president, but all this thinking about it is giving me a headache...so thanks a lot for that too President Obama.

City police chief lauds drug court graduatesBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | April 03,2013Chelsea Wright photo
Rutland Police Chief James Baker congratulates the graduates of the Rutland Drug Court program Tuesday.As a guest speaker at a graduation ceremony for recovering drug addicts, Rutland Police Chief James Baker said Tuesday that the achievements of those who rebuilt their lives after drug abuse led them to ruin gave him hope for the city.
Standing before a courtroom filled with Rutland Drug Court participants, friends and family members, Baker said the road the graduates traveled to success mirrored his own hopes for reducing a problem with heroin and other illegal drugs that has plagued Rutland for more than a decade.
I came simply because I wanted the graduates to hear from the police chief, he said, standing before the graduates in full uniform. I recognize the enormous problem in the area surrounding addiction. Its not as easy as arresting our way out of it.
Baker, who has been trying to build a coalition of agencies to address drug abuse issues using a holistic approach including the addition of a methadone clinic to the community, told the graduates that only the success of treatment and prevention efforts could reduce drug crimes in the city.
Its not as simple as the number of arrests we make or bags of heroin we seize, he said. The solution isnt in the police department, its in the community.
Keith Tallon, district manager of the probation and parole office in Rutland, also said the successes of the three graduates who completed the long-term, rigorously supervised drug court program gave him hope.
I see every day those who are not so successful, he said. Its discouraging. But when Im here for graduation it motivates me....I now challenge you to help someone else succeed because as you know, this city as a whole has a big problem.
Every participant in the drug court program ran afoul of the law before they entered the program, which is designed to divert eligible offenders with drug addiction issues out of the criminal court. Those who graduate from the program have their criminal offenses expunged. Those who do not return to the criminal court to face prosecution.
The graduates on Tuesday each faced challenges on their way to sobriety none more so than Chad Bourn of Rutland.
At a minimum, drug court requires 240 days of sobriety and work with case managers to complete.
In Bourns case, the 27-year-old said it took three years to earn the certificate he received from drug court Judge Francis McCaffrey on Tuesday.
You had some dips? the judge said during the ceremony.
Yes, quite a few. More than I can count, Bourn responded.
But Bourn, who struggled to overcome an addiction to crack cocaine, said that after every failure he found the will to move on. Bourn said it has been seven months since he used drugs.
I never thought I could make it where I am today, said Bourn, who received hugs from a number of people in the courtroom after he received his certificate. I didnt think I was worth it.
But asked by the judge if he thought he was worth it now, Bourn said he has come to realize that his life has value and he told those in the room still working their way through the program that they needed to reach the same conclusion.
Stick around till the miracle happens, he said.
Twenty-eight-year-old Jennifer Dido also told McCaffrey that she never thought she would graduate.
Before I came in here everything was crazy. I ruined a lot of relationships, the Mendon woman said. But I dedicated myself to a better life and I got through. I struggled 11 years with addiction.
Now clean for 13 months, Dido told the judge that she planned to continue meeting with her counselor and attending group meetings to stay off drugs.

A patent cited in 20 claims in Apple's US case against Samsung has been invalidated, giving Samsung a better chance at seeking a retrial or a reduction in its $1.05 billion penalty.
The United States Trademark Office (USPTO) has invalidated 20 claims related to the "pinch to zoom" patent cited in Apple's case against Samsung in the US.
The patent in question was No. 7,844,915. Legal jargon aside, it's basically responsible for the "pinch to zoom" gesture found on smartphones and tablets.
Samsung lawyers quickly informed the US District Court in California in a filing.
In their US patent dispute, Samsung was ordered to pay Apple $1.05 billion in damages. With this latest development, Samsung has a better chance at seeking a retrial, or at the least, having its $1.05 billion penalty reduced.
During Apple and Samsung's post-trial hearings this week, Judge Lucy Koh is expected to issue both parties rulings on motions, including an important judgement on damages.

The Element represents the next generation of environmentally sustainable, ergonomic task lights. Its numerous features represent a compilation of recent innovations in the field of task lighting. With unmatched flexibility, the Element Light has an extremely ergonomic design. It is also the first of its kind to meet the Department of Energy's criteria for an LED task light.
Additional Element Features:
You may be surprised to hear a desk lamp described as "ergonomic", but in fact, many ergonomics-related health issues, such as poor posture and eyestrain, result from inadequate lighting. When the amount of light cannot be adjusted, say, for instance, when overhead incandescent lighting is used, the worker must adjust his or her body accordingly.
This often results in Computer Vision Syndrome- a condition affecting up to 90 percent of computer users, causing eyestrain, dry eyes, blurred sight, and headaches. The Humanscale Element Light eliminates this ergonomic problem through its adjustable design and its MCX LED Technology.
Traditional LED desk lamps cast multiple shadows across a work surface due to the number of bulbs, resulting in unnecessary eyestrain. With advanced MCX LED technology, the Humanscale Element Light mimics the light footprint of a traditional single-source bulb and casts just one shadow.
Read our guide to ergonomic lighting to see what makes it different from standard task lighting.

Comments about Humanscale Element Light:
I cannot say enough good things about this product or about Smart Furniture. I'm going to sound like a paid spokesperson, and there is just no way to avoid that when you are so satisfied with the product and service. Firstly, on the service front, I came to Smart Furniture after being thoroughly exasperated with another reseller's poor service. This particular light has mounting options listed on the manufacturer's website that didn't seem to align completely with the options listed on any of the reseller's websites (Smart Furniture included). The other reseller was completely unhelpful in answering my questions about the mounting options. Smart Furniture's representatives, by large contrast, were extremely helpful, very polite, and very understanding regarding the confusion over the mounting options. In the end, the option that I wanted was not one offered on the website, but the Smart Furniture representative was able to modify my web order after placement and ensure that I got exactly what I wanted. In terms of the product, it is beyond most of my expectations. It takes up almost no space on my desk with the 2 piece mounting clamp, it looks outstanding, it's incredibly light weight, it's incredibly cool (not hip, but cool from a lack of heat perspective - my last desk lamp could have doubled as a chicken roaster), and it is easily and highly adjustable. My only concern is the bulb life. I don't really know what happens when the bulb burns out, because I don't know that it takes any standard replacement bulb.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Salvation Army is a participating Agency of the United Way of Nassau-Suffolk. Civic Groups To Form "Joint TOBay Council 99 Flushed with their recent success in the defeat of the "Hippo" Discotheque, leaders of various Town of Oyster Bay Civic Associations have announced their intention to form a "Joint TOBay Civic Council." Pointing to the united front presented by more than a dozen civic associations from Syosset, Plainview, Hicksville, Woodbury and Bethpage in the "Hippo" controversy, such civic leaders as Greater Plainview Community Association President Paul Eisenstein feel that the time is ripe for a town-wide organization. "'Hippo' was an isolated case," admits Eisenstein. "But united civic action in TOBay doesn't have to stop there. In fact, 'Hippo' serves to emphasize just how important it is that we establish a means for communication and exchange of information between local civic associations on a regular basis," Eisenstein continued, "Our specific interests may not coincide in every case, but we all share a general overriding concern for the welfare of our Town and our individual com- (Continued on Page 12) Island Trees Supt. Resigns School Superintendent Richard Morrow, of the Island Trees School District, leaves his post for a new job in a rural upstate district. A statement issued by the school said the controversial book issue did not prompt the resignation. Morrow will take up his new post next September and has indicated that the move will give him an opportunity to further his goals in education. Board President Richard Ahrens said, "we never had any animosity towards him, he always tried to get the community to work together." Yevoli Disputes Repayment Of School Transport Aid Assemblyman Lewis J. Yevoli (D-10th Old Bethpage) recently introduced legislation to protect local school district taxpayers from the immediate repayment of school transportation aid disallowed by recent state audits. •School districts throughout the state are being reassessed on their transportation aid," said Assemblyman Yevoli, "and most of the Long Island districts are being individually charged back hundreds of thousands of dollars. •The seriousness of the situation and the impact on school tax rates was outlined to me at a meeting with chief school administrators and business managers this past weekend. The vast majority of school districts in the state have been filing for transportation aid in the same way for many years, they had already been audited, and had every right to assume that all was in order." Library Elections Scheduled by Barbara McClorey Local libraries are preparing for the upcoming budget vote and board of trustee elections scheduled over the next two months. Island Trees Island Trees district residents will vote on the proposed 1976- 1977 library budget and on the candidate to fill the vacancy of incumbant Robert Dering, president of the library board of trustees, on April 20. The current library budget requires $116,935.00 to be raised by taxes while the proposed budget will require $140,690.00, an increase of 4 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. As of Monday, April 5, the only candidate for the board seat was Carol Rogoff, of 3757 Dianne Street,: Bethpage. The term of office to the five-member board is five years with one seat being up for re-election annually. Voting will be held April 20 from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Island Trees Public Library, Lower Level, Nassau Mall, 3601 Hempstead . Turnpike, Levittown. Remaining in their board positions are Vice President Daniel Groden, Secretary Rae Click, Trustees Justine Schachter, and Dolores Morehouse. Bethpage On June 16, Bethpage residents will decide on a proposed library budget of $321,030.00, representing an increase of 2 cents per $100 of assessed valuation over the current $306,750 budget. Also, voters will elect a candidate to the library board of trustees. As of Monday, April 5, no petitions have been filed by candidates wishing to run. The seat up for re-election is that of Claire Jackman, appointed in 1973 upon the resignation of another board member. Remaining on the hoard are Vice President Dr. Joseph G. Brennan. Secretary David Pink-was, Trustees Margaret Lang, Basil Karpiak, and Leon C. Carien. Plainedge Plainedge voters will decide on June 9 on the candidate to the board seat of Ruth Frankel, chairman. As of Monday, April 5, no petitions have been filed by any candidates. Deadline is May 8. Remaining on the board will be Treasurer Marie Barber, Edward Dowdell, Nancy Gordon, and Dorothy Strong. Voters will also decide on the . proposed 1976-1977 library budget which is expected to be finalized by late April. Plainview-Old Bethpage Voters in the Plainview-Old Bethpage district will decide on June 9 the candidate to the library board. As of Monday, April 5, one petition only has been filed by incumbant Luke Farley. The deadline is May 26. The proposed 1976-1977 budget is still being drafted and is expected to be finalized by early May. Continued Assemblyman Yevoli, "School districts were alerted by the Department of • Education in 1973 to use only the state mandated mileage (K-8, 2 miles; 9-12, 3 miles) instead of the approved local transportation policy as the basis for state transportation aid. A legitimate difference in the interpretation of the aid formula by most school districts has caused the disallowance in aid. "My bill guarantees that no school district will be forced to inflict an exorbitant increase in the school tax rate upon the property owners in order to repay the State. School Boards will have the option of either paying back the State over a three year period or having it deducted from their state aid at a rate hot to exceed 1, 100 of the total annual aid. In no instance will any school district have to'absorb the impact of more than an additional, 10 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. These realistic alternatives to excessive increases in the school tax rate provide for the stretching out of the repayment period. "School Districts will also be absolved from having to pay interest charges on the disallowance. The State is also prohibited from auditing for a period beyond three years from the date of the audit. "1 intend to press for the early passage of this legislation and its enactment into Law to prevent out-of-sight increases in school tax rates being incurred by our hardpressed home owners," concluded Assemblyman Yevoli. PITCHING IN: The War Memorial area of the Bethpage Community Park was the site of the finalization of u»e Bethpage 4-H Club's beautification project this week, as Oyster Bay Town Councilman Salvatore It. Mosca joined with the seven 4-H'ers who donated their time, money and ecological spirit in their effort to help beautify their hometown.

"People who didn't have a place to stay, stayed at our home," Johnson said. "We gave people a place to stay."
The door was always open, she added.
"My mom did domestic work for a while," Johnson said. "She would take her money and give it to my dad so that he could take a bus to work."
Lynch and her husband raised and nurtured many more children than their own, her granddaughter, Sharon Smith, said. They took in nieces, nephews, neighbors and friends.
"She was always the mother to whom the children and neighbors would go for safety and a good home-cooked meal," Smith said. Many people who get to know Lynch call her "mother" or "aunt."
Johnson said her mother remembers when a loaf of bread was 5 cents, and that she never thought that she would ever see a black president in her lifetime.
A lot of things have changed in the past 105 years, but not Lynch's giving spirit.
"Her outlook doesn't change," Johnson said. "She just remains giving, nurturing and a real soft, quiet spirit."
Johnson said her parents were loving disciplinarians, and "they taught us how to give, and give of ourselves."
Johnson remembers how her mother was always around to support her children. She was always home when Johnson came home from school, and she attended all of her school plays.
Johnson explained that when people ask her mother how she has managed to live such a long life she says that it's because she didn't smoke, drink, chew tobacco or cuss.
"She's given so much of herself, and he (God) in turn has blessed her," Johnson said.

Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 9 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Byrdie Ehh The fabric of this dress needs to be weightier to support the layers. There is absolutely no shape to it. The tiered length doesn't work so well with a dress this light in weight. The colors are pretty and the fabric is nice and soft, but I would only wear this over a swimsuit or around the house. 1.7.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cassandraL726 So soft, so cute! I bought this for a trip last spring to Goa, India and I wound up wearing it all over Europe all summer. I even wore it hiking up a mountain, it's soft, fluttery and ready to wear anywhere. Cute, easy, comfortable, it's one of those dresses you can throw on with anything without thinking about it and count on looking great. 11.29.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Nuraluralura Lovely Breezy Summer Piece Love this dress. The fabric is soft and moves freely. It's a fresh, sexy and comfortable summer dress. The pink is a little less intense than pictured, but this is one of my favorite FP buys. Easy to throw on and look stunning in. 5.21.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Squashblossom Versatile! This dress is very versatile! Looks sexy belted, and looks super cool unbelted with a tight, cropped jacket. Can be great for winter with tights and boots, and perfect for summer with Grecian sandals and a wide brimmed hat. I purchased Washed Black and the color is rockin! I love draped clothing, so this is perfect for me. Those who prefer form fitting may want to consider a different dress instead, as its very tent-like. I am 5'9" and the length on me is similar to that of the model. For those who are shorter in stature, you may want to consider the length when purchasing. All-in-all adorable! Much better than I was expecting! 10.30.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by dcal Looks great belted This dress is so cute, but it is really loose in the waist. It looks great belted. The only bad thing is the straps seem really delicate since the dress has a lot of fabric. Overall I love it! 9.5.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FreeLisa Versatile Comfy Dress I love this dress! I wear it loose unblelted with cowboy boots, with strappy sandles or other heels for a dressier look....or even with flip flops for a casual day or eve. It can go from day to eve or beach to dinner with just a change of shoes and accessories! 3.24.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by LittleMissKate Cute and slouchy! It was a little bit big on me. If you are short, you should get a smaller size because it is a little longer on than it looks on the model because she is tall. It's really cute with a belt to make it not so big, but really cute in the summer because it's really comfortable. 2.20.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by skylarquinn a little disappointed i like this type of style in dresses because it is sexy and hides body issues. i wasn't thrilled with it when i put it on. it just kinda hung there and didn't flatter my figure at all. i ordered a M (i usually order a M or a S) and the M seemed to fit me well, making it true to size. i'm keeping it but it's not my favorite fp dress by far. 2.5.2012

Ch. 5.1 – Sundays, October 7 to November 11, 2012, at 9:00-10:00 p.m.
In 1938, war is about to topple a way of life. But not quite yet.
The saga continues at 165 Eaton Place, with new characters upstairs and down. Set in 1936, the lives of masters and servants have never been so captivating, as two new arrivals make their mark and Lady Agnes reveals a dark secret.
In the year before WWII, 165 Eaton Place reopens its doors and welcomes viewers back into the lives of its inhabitants, upstairs and down. Lady Agnes and Sir Hallam's family is now complete with the addition of two small children, but Sir Hallam is drawn into dangerous waters by his preoccupation with the threat of Nazi Germany and the return of troubled Lady Persie.
Lady Agnes catches the eye of charismatic American multi-millionaire Casper Landry, and Sir Hallam's aunt, Dr. Blanche Mottershead, has made herself comfortable in the house after Lady Maud's death. Meanwhile, life downstairs adjusts to the absence of Rose and the addition of the spirited new nursery maid, Beryl. With upstairs and downstairs harboring life-changing secrets, and the menace of war creeping ever closer, the smooth running of Eaton Place threatens to come to a halt.
Critics loved the first season, with The New York Times writing, "the sequel holds its own against the many period series and movies…from Brideshead Revisited to Remains of the Day to Gosford Park to Atonement."
The Salt Lake Tribune called Upstairs Downstairs, "witty, dramatic, engaging, and thoroughly entertaining from start to finish." And The Chicago Sun-Times wrote, "watching it was just bliss."
The returning cast includes Keeley Hawes (Wives and Daughters, MI-5) as Lady Agnes Holland, the beautiful mistress at 165 Eaton Place, Ed Stoppard (Brideshead Revisited) as her diplomat husband, Sir Hallam, and Claire Foy (Little Dorrit) as Agnes's obsessively defiant sister, Persie, who is in love with fascist politics and Nazis in particular.
Repeating their roles downstairs are Anne Reid (Bleak House) as the fractious gourmet cook, Mrs.Thackeray, Adrian Scarborough (Cranford) as the resourceful butler, Mr. Pritchard, Neil Jackson (Quantum of Solace) as the beefy chauffeur, Harry Spargo, and Art Malik (Jewel In The Crown) as Amanjit Singh, the private secretary to Hallam's recently deceased mother (played last season by Eileen Atkins).
Jean Marsh (Sense and Sensibility), who was star and co-creator of the original Upstairs Downstairs and also of the sequel, appears in the new season in a cameo role.
Guest stars include Alex Kingston (ER, Moll Flanders) as Hallam's freethinking aunt, Dr. Blanche Mottershead, Emilia Fox (Rebecca) as Blanche's former lover, Lady Portia Alresford, and Michael Landes (Final Destination 2) as the American self-made millionaire Caspar Landry, whose latest venture is nylon hosiery—a convenient lure in his quest to seduce a certain aristocratic Englishwoman
And with Hallam's diplomatic connections, a string of historic figures also make their appearance. These include an appealing young Harvard student named John F. Kennedy and his blustering father, the American ambassador…
"A Faraway Country About Which We Know Nothing"
Meet two new arrivals, upstairs and down, to 165 Eaton Place.
"The Love That Pays the Price"
Learn how a tragedy leaves the dreams of Lady Agnes and Sir Hallam, and a family member, in jeopardy.
"A Perfect Specimen of Womanhood"
See how Blanche's and Beryl's actions create changes upstairs and down.

Trace the evolving relationships of three couples, upstairs and down.
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"
Experience Eaton Place on the eve of war and the events that change the landscape forever.

60s Batmobile sells for £2.6m
Plus: Ferrari 250 GTs go for $8m a pop and first 'Vette sells for $1.1m…
Posted: 15 May 2014
There was a gentler time in Batman's fictional history; a time when he was a friendly, podgy, ham-fisted investigator more concerned with disco dancing than Gotham's apocalypse. Oh, and he didn't drive a modified tank either.
It was of course, the Batman of the 1960s. And this past weekend, one of television's - and popular culture's - most sacred automotive cows was sacrificed by its creator and owner to a very lucky (and wealthy) collector.
Ladies and gentlemen, the very first, original 1960s Batmobile - the Batmobile used in the iconic telly series - has sold at auction for an astonishing £2.6 million ($4.2m).
A gentleman named Rick Champagne who lives in Arizona, purchased the vehicle over the weekend at the Barrett Jackson auction, after some spirited bidding. "It was a dream come true," he noted.
It's easily the most famous television car in history, starting out life as a Lincoln Futura concept car from 1955. Car customiser George Barris bought the concept from Ford for just $1, and following a meeting with Batman telly producer William Dozier, was given a budget of $15,000 and 15 days to come up with the 'Batmobile'.
Suffice to say, he did pretty good. More mature readers of TopGear.com may remember the car came with such awesome gadgetry including the Batcomputer, smoke screen, emergency Bat turn lever, a Batphone, Detect-a-scope, and of course, that rear rocket thruster.
There was also a 6.4-litre (390 cubic inch) Ford V8 with an auto gearbox underneath, though we suspect the power output was a little shy of the 400bhp Chevy V8 used for the most recent Dark Knight's ride, the Tumbler.
"The car had to be a star on its own," Barris noted before the auction. That much is clear.
What's also clear, is the enduring awesomeness of the Ferrari 250 GT. Because elsewhere in auction-land this past weekend, a pair of GTs - SWB and LWB - sold at separate auctions for over $8m each.
A 1958 250 GT LWB California Spider sold for a whopping $8.25m (£5.2m), offered up by Gooding & Company, while a few miles away, RM Auctions sold a red 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione for $8.14m (£5.1m), a world record for this type of 250.
Oh, and to top it all off, the first 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray - which only got its world premiere last week in Detroit - sold at Barrett Jackson's auction for $1.1m (£692k).
Have a click through the pics and tell us below - which is your favourite Batmobile? Don't forget, we've had a hotride in the Tumbler from The Dark Knight Rises...

I created most of the bricks myself in SolidWorks to allow me to do more than LDD. I can now also do motion studies or stress analyses.
This also allows me to have items like the gripper from the NXT 1.0 set printed. I made those available in my shop at Shapeways.

Is Holly Madison Giving Birth Right Now?
Holly Madison should be a mom by the end of the day.
Yesterday, March 4, In Touch reported that the former Girls Next Door star and her boyfriend Pasquale Rotella are set to welcome their baby girl.
"I just got clearance to go into the hospital tonight at 10 p.m." Holly told the gossip outlet. "I couldn't be more thrilled! Pasquale and I are so excited to meet our baby girl. He's as excited about it as I am — maybe more!"
They have a name all picked out, but Holly refused to spill the moniker before the baby is in her arms. "It's such an unusual and difficult name I have a feeling we'll add something simpler once she's arrived safely in our world," she teased.
Now that Holly has officially piqued our interest, excuse us as we glue ourselves to Twitter, waiting to learn the little lady's mouthful of a name.

(801) 442-2836
Salt Lake City — Most of us hear a lot of talk about healthy eating, but what about healthy drinking? Studies suggest that out-of-control consumption of sweetened sodas and sport drinks is helping fuel the obesity epidemic among children and teens. Even too many servings of real fruit juice can be a problem.
"Most people would be really surprised if they knew how much sugar was in their favorite drink," says Tamara Lewis, MD, spokesperson for Intermountain Healthcare's LiVe public service campaign. LiVe encourages children to have a healthy diet and be active.
"We've found that soft drinks provide a high amount of added sugar in the American diet," said Dr. Lewis. "Since most beverages have been super-sized to 20 ounces, we're talking about 15 to almost 20 teaspoons of sugar in the most popular soft drinks. What's even more alarming is that these are what we call empty calories. They don't provide the body with any nutrients, but they can lead to weight gain, which puts us at higher risk for health problems, including type-two diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and strokes."
So, what should parents and kids be drinking with meals, and to quench their thirst in general? Dr. Lewis votes for water first. "Water is a wonderful beverage," she says. "We should aim for drinking six to eight cups of water a day. It's a naturally 'high octane' option that not only quenches your thirst, it helps carry nutrients through your system. And, it's free."
Dr. Lewis says that low fat or fat-free milk is a good choice, too, as it provides calcium along with important vitamins and minerals. "If you're going drink juice, be sure it's 100 percent juice and drink it in moderation. You can dilute the calories and sugar by cutting it with mineral water. Or, better yet-eat a piece of fruit instead," she advises. Dr. Lewis recommends that kids (with parental help) aim for less than 12 ounces per week of soda, sports drinks, lemonade, and other sweetened drinks. Juice should be limited to 6 ounces a day.
"Power drinks" constitute another category of beverages that are causing a buzz, especially among teens. They can include anything from sports beverages to "high-energy" supplement drinks.
"This brings up the question of whether kids need extra beverages to avoid dehydration when they play sports," notes Primary Children's Medical Center nutritionist and LiVe spokesperson Pauline Williams. "Basically, the average child athlete can and should get all the necessary nutrients and hydration by eating healthy foods and drinking plenty of water before, during and after exercise. If your child isn't crazy about plain water, go ahead and add a splash of orange juice. You'll get the taste of flavored water without too many extra calories."
Williams notes that sports drinks may help if your child participates in endurance sports that last longer than an hour, such as long-distance running and biking, or high-intensity games of soccer, basketball, or hockey. "But they're really not necessary for the casual athlete and can increase the risk of excess weight gain," she said. "And, they are definitely not for sedentary kids."
As for "energy" drinks, consider that their flashy packaging is like a beacon to middle- and high-school students who may be looking for a competitive edge. "Most of these drinks deliver as much caffeine as in one to three cups of coffee and a big dose of sugar-both of which can create a whole set of problems, says Williams. "Most also contain other ingredients, including herbal supplements such as guarana (a source of caffeine), and taurine (an amino acid thought to enhance performance), but their safety and effectiveness has never been tested in children."
Energy drinks don't offer any real health or performance benefits for kids. It's far better for children who participate in sports to learn to improve their game through hard work and practice."
Parents and teens can find more expert advice on diet, activity and attitudes about weight management at the LiVe Well website at:

Barrow AFC cup clash set to go global
Last updated at 16:32, Friday, 30 November 2012
BARROW AFC's huge FA Cup clash at Holker Street tomorrow will be heard around the world – from Alaska to Australia.
The Bluebirds are set for their biggest ever audience after the BBC World Service decided to broadcast its Sportsworld radio programme live from Furness Building Society Stadium.Barrow go into second-round tie knowing a trip to a Premier League giant could await if they overcome fellow non-league club Macclesfield Town.
Presenters Lee James and Caroline Barker will be joined in the press box by former Blackburn Rovers and Scotland international Kevin Gallacher.
The World Service broadcasts in 27 languages to 180 million listeners every week and Mr Lee, making his first trip to Barrow, is sure there will be a global appetite for the match.
He said: "It's a chance for the audience, and me, to go to an unfamiliar ground and a chance to get back to the grass roots of football.
"I posted on Facebook this week where we are going and a lot of people have been messaging saying 'it makes a change from all the talk about money in football' and 'it's a chance to give the little guy their go'.
"People really do buy into the romance of the cup.
"We're 90 minutes away from potentially Barrow versus Manchester United or Chelsea and for us it's a chance to be part of that.
"Barrow could be the big headline this weekend and we'll be there if they make it to the third round."
Barrow are no strangers to the third round, having travelled to Premier League Middlesbrough and Sunderland in 2009 and 2010.
In addition to the £30,500 they have already pocketed from this year's run, the Bluebirds will earn another £27,000 if they progress tomorrow.
Club chairman Brian Keen said the radio coverage was just one aspect of the media spotlight on Barrow AFC this week.
He said: "I've just had Sky Sports on to me now.
"I've given them an interview, but they're also tailing us right through the weekend pre-match.
"The interest seems incredible.
"We've got to do our best but, fingers crossed, I think we've got a chance.''
* BARROW AFC supporters will be rewarded if they cheer their team onto FA Cup victory against Macclesfield Town tomorrow.
Fans who support the team at Holker Street tomorrow will be given priority for tickets in the third round, if the Bluebirds progress.
Russell Dodd, AFC's football secretary/director, said: "We're potentially 90 minutes away from another dream trip to the likes of Middlesbrough or Sunderland, or better still Manchester United or City.
"We took around 8,000 fans to each of those games, so we need some of them to come on Saturday to help get us a repeat."
People who attend tomorrow's match and keep their ticket stub will, after season-ticket holders and members, be given priority for third-round tickets, subject to any capacity restrictions.

BURNSVILLE, Minn. (KMSP) -
Burnsville fire officials say they've never heard of so-called firewater could become a fire starter without the aid of a match or spark, but that's exactly what happened when vodka bottles magnified sunlight and started a fire inside Red Lion Liquors.
The store has been in Burnsville since 1978, and it's occupied its current building for the past nine years. They have bulletproof glass to stop burglars and vandals from breaking in, but that couldn't' protect them from a problem that started inside.
"It's the unexpected things that can kind of sucker punch you," said manager Dave Hautman.
Usually, the only kind of sun the staff at Red Lion Liquors have to worry about is a type of Spanish beer, but one of hottest sellers on the floor got a little too toasty when the store was closed last Sunday.
Surveillance cameras captured the slow-starting fire, which began with smoke billowing from a display of vodka bottles. Soon, a small paper sign on top simply melts away.
Eventually, the heat got so intense that the tops popped off of the vodka bottles, spraying streams of steaming liquor. In the end, the display caught fire, sending some flames shooting up to 12 feet in the air.
"We have shades on the windows. We'll pull them down on sunny days to protect the wine on the shelves, never thinking it would ever start a fire," Hautman said.
It turns out that sunlight coming through the window turned the vodka bottles into a magnifying glass, slowly starting the cardboard on fire while a ceiling fan above fanned the flames.
"It was just this freak thing," Hautman said.
Even the Burnsville fire marshal had never seen anything like it.
"It was entertaining," Hautman recalled. "The firefighters were standing next to me like they were watching a new video game. They were going, 'This is so cool!'"
After being closed for nearly two weeks, the store re-opened on Friday morning. Hautman said the store mostly suffered smoke damage and only a little water damage from the sprinklers and fire response, but they've
tinted the windows to prevent the same thing from happening again -- and they'll be a bit more careful about where they place the displays.

Interesting chart. I think this quite clearly illustrates the problem for writers developers when attempting to design 'crossover' models - the common part set seems really restrictive. I mean, there are not even any common tires!
- Nov 18, 2009, 3:51:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
You hit it on the mark - the collection is quite small compared to each individual kit.
No rubber tires! That was the same thing I first said when I saw this image.
Still, it does provide enough parts for some small builds to be created...
How about this: Build a robot using JUST THE PARTS on this image and post a photo of your design along with a 5-6 sentence description of what it is/does in the sticky'd topic under the General Forums here: http://thenxtstep.com/smf/index.php?topic=1444
I'll pick one random name from all the submissions on November 30 and send that person a signed copy of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0: The King's Treasure. One submission per person, please.

This is meant to be used as a starting point. For instance if you have a prototype robot you can try if it works with both old and the new wheels. If it does, you can go ahead and publish it. I agree that this is not ideal, though.
On the other hand, NXT1 users can still buy NXT1 books. So, I don't see much point in creating a "combo" book.
- Nov 18, 2009, 4:19:00 AM
- Parax said...
Tim & Jim I partially agree with you, this partial set is too restrictive to use on its own. However if you were to use this set with another NXT2 kit (8546) you could create dual kit models that were compatible with a 1&2 or 2&2.
There are already a lot of books for the NXT1. and soon there will be a lot for the NXT2.
But how many will cater for those who upgrade/expand to NXT2 and still have NXT1? Or those that start with and NXT2 this year and expand to two sets next year or the year after?
- Nov 18, 2009, 5:49:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
It's a great idea, but my gut tells me that the more complex the requirements are for a book, the more likely a publisher is to say no... (that doesn't rule out self-publishing, though).
So, if a book requires one NXT 2.0 kit and one NXT 1.0 kit, I've shrunk the potential audience of the book. Book publishers have, to my knowledge, always tended to the least common denominator, meaning they don't want to do combo books that cover say, Windows and Office... that requires the reader to have both products... they'd rather split it into two books, one per application... same for robot kits I'm guessing.

- Dan said...
I hate to complain about this (frankly, I don't have time to put something like this together and I do think this is useful), but this chart does not account for the Education Edition of the kit. The really useful subset is the intersection of all three.
- Nov 18, 2009, 1:02:00 PM
- Armagon said...
That's an excellent diagram. How did you make it, Lauren?
I'll second Dan's notion that it would be useful to have a diagram that shows the intersection of the two retail kits with the educational kit.

I'm having some success with designing some robot animal building instructions which include three tracks---NXT1, NXT2 and (NXT Ed + resource set), but it is a LOT of work to create such instructions. So, I'd be interested to hearing if there would be interest in such a book (which could be self published in color like my new Endangered Species book). So far, I have an assortment of land birds---chicken, sandpiper, ostrich..., a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a kangaroo.

Many people like to use themes in the outdoor gardens or patios and even on porches. There are all types of themes of course, from Greek to animal to quirky. If you are interested in creating an Asian theme in your garden here are some suggestions from Design Toscano. We have wonderful Buddha outdoor statues that range from the serene to the joyful and we also have a very serene and well sculpted Chinese statue. This is Shou Xin Gong: God of Longevity Statue. Shou Xin Gong is a statue of an old Asian man with a long beard (showing his longevity) carrying the "peach of immortality" and the "staff of longevity".
To perk up your Asian theme and add some joy, you should look at our Japanese garden statues. One of the more interesting of these is our Dancing Asian Fish Spitting Garden Statue Collection. These fish come in four different sizes and are depicted standing on their tails dancing with their mouths wide open. They are piped if at any time you would want to use them as a small fountain spitting water.
We have many extraordinary statues like our big foot garden statue which is quite amazing. In the Asian theme a similarly large and spectacular statue is our Asian Dragon with Power Orb Solid Bronze Garden Sculpture. He spouts water, so no fear of fire from him, and he is holding an orb in one of his claws. He is large and beautiful.
