As the 2013 Sundance Film Festival enters its homestretch, we've noticed one thing about it: This year seems more about the films than the star-studded, super-sponsored A-list parties. Which, um, we're pretty sure is what Robert Redford wants from his Utah fest. Lucky enough for those of us living vicariously through our friends (and photographers) in Park City, there has still been no shortage of eye candy. Here, we're taking a moment to point out the lovely array of actors who put on their best puffy jackets and risked some great hat-hair to premiere their artsy movies. From Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Alexander Skarsgard, Adam Brody to Chris Noth, there were plenty of familiar faces at the festival, along with some relative newcomers like Austenland's Ricky Whittle. We even gave Matthew McConaughey an honorary spot in this gallery, because even though his drastic weight loss for Dallas Buyers Club has sapped his conventional beauty, he's looking kinda weird hot as he packs the pounds back on. And if there's anything that's appropriate for Sundance, it's definitely the phrase "weird hot."

Online Assessment
How well-suited are you for distance learning courses?
We know it is tempting to skip this step and assume that an online or television course is manageable in your schedule and what you need right now. But, please take a few minutes to complete the following self-assessment. Answer each question - then consider the factors associated with each choice.
1. Considering my personal and professional schedule, the amount of time I have to work on an online course is:
(a) 8 to 16 hours per week.
(b) 5 to 7 hours per week.
(c) 1 to 4 hours per week.
Many people who have never taken a distance-delivered course mistakenly assume that it requires less time than a traditional on-campus class. This is not true.
A distance-delivered course is as demanding as any other course. The only time savings you can expect in a distance-delivered course is time spent commuting. However, a distance-delivered course does make it easier for you to choose when you spend your available time doing coursework. With most courses, it doesn't matter whether you do your coursework at 2 a.m. or 6 p.m.
Your answer depends on a number of considerations. For example, a course taken during a summer term requires more concentrated time than one taken during the typically longer spring or fall semesters. If you answered (a) or (b), depending on the course, you probably have the time necessary to complete a typical three-credit distance-delivered course. Courses that are four-credits or offered during the summer or winter terms require more time. If your answer is (c), you do not have the necessary time to take a course now.
2. Having face-to-face interaction with my instructors and fellow students is:
(a) not particularly important to me.
(b) somewhat important to me.
(c) very important to me.
Typically there is very little face-to-face interaction, but distance-delivered courses do rely on various other forms of interaction. In some cases, distance-delivered courses are more interactive than some on-campus courses. E-mail, discussion groups and telephone and video conferencing provides distance-delivered courses with ample opportunities for you to interact with instructors and other students. However, if immediate or face-to-face interaction is very important to you, think carefully before enrolling in a distance-delivered course.
3. I would classify myself as someone who:
(a) is good at prioritizing tasks and often gets things done ahead of time without being reminded by my instructor.
(b) is sometimes poor at prioritizing, needs to be reminded of assignments once in a while, and often does assignments at the last minute.
(c) is poor at prioritizing and sometimes forgets to complete assignments if I'm not reminded about them frequently.
If you answered (a), then you are a very good candidate for a distance-delivered course. You must be fairly self-directed and conscientious about completing assignments to succeed in a distance-delivered course because you will not be sitting in a classroom on a regular basis and have your instructor or classmates nearby to remind you of assignments.
4. Classroom discussion is:
(a) rarely helpful to me.
(b) sometimes helpful to me.
(c) almost always helpful to me.
There is no wrong answer to this question because distance-delivered courses can work for you no matter what your answer. Still, it is useful to consider how much you depend upon immediate classroom discussion when choosing the type of distance-delivered courses that are best for you. Discussion with instructors or other students in distance-delivered courses occur through e-mail, disussion boards, online chat or telephone conferencing.
5. When it comes to assessing my own progress:
(a) I feel I can keep tabs on my progress, even without immediate or frequent feedback from my instructor.
(b) I prefer to receive regular feedback from my instructor, but do not mind if I can not get that feedback immediately after turning in a test or assignment.
(c) I need feedback from my instructor immediately and often.
If you answered (a) or (b) to this question, a distance-delivered course will probably be fine for you. If you answered (c), you may be dissatisfied with some delay in feedback in a distance-delivered course. As a result of the distance and time that separates you from your instructor, receiving immediate feedback from your instructor can sometimes be challenging. Although, some instructors use automated feedback to provide instant feedback on tests.
The amount of feedback you receive ultimately depends on your instructor's personal style, which is typical in any course. An instructor who places a high priority on giving students feedback quickly can accomplish that regardless of the distance separating you.
6. My need to take a distance delivered course is
(a) High - I need it immediately for a degree, job advancement or other important reason.
(b) Moderate - I could take it on campus or substitute another course.
(c) Low - It is a personal interest that could be postponed.
The greater your motivation, the greater the chance you will succeed. This is certainly true with distance-delivered courses. You are responsible for scheduling time for your coursework, and as such it can be easy for other things to take priority and result in delaying your coursework. A high level of motivation is important at those times.

Hot McFarlane Toys on the Shelves
Friday, August 15, 2003
Welcome to our next installment of "What should be on the shelves at your local toy store and what's coming" for those of you too lazy to go check for yourselves. Hey, consider it our service to you. We love you guys.
First, what should be there for the taking:
Terminator 3. Our sleeper hit of the summer. With its long-standing fanbase (and perhaps with Arnold as a gubernatorial candidate), our regular T3 line has been flying off the store shelves like pieces of a bullet-riddled T-850. McFarlane Toys is now sold through all of our production, so what you see on shelves is it.
Major League Baseball Series 6. MLB 6, featuring a cast of exciting players and a few surprise pieces, is moving nicely at retail as we enter the height of the baseball season.
Spawn Series 23: Mutations. The latest line of Spawn action figures has been consistently selling, but is still available at retail at this time.
National Hockey League Series 5. NHL 5 is still available at retail in Canada. American customers can still purchase cases direct from us in the Store at spawn.com.
And here's what coming to your favorite toy store:
Soul Calibur II. These 4-inch scale boxed action figures based on the upcoming video game are on the road as you read and should be in stores the week of Aug. 18.
T3. Both the deluxe boxed set and the deluxe 12-inch T-850 (with sound) from Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines are shipping to stores at this time. These will be hot, so don't hesitate.
Major League Baseball Series 7. MLB 7 will start hitting retail shelves in mid to late August. The MLB series is really starting to take off with collectors and this line will be no different.
McFarlane's Monsters 2: The Twisted Land of Oz. One of the most anticipated lines of 2003 is getting closer. Look for this series at specialty retailers in early September, along with the Collector's Club-exclusive seventh figure from this line, only available through the Store at spawn.com.
National Football League Series 6. NFL 6, sure to be one of this year's hottest action figure series, is on tap for a late August/early September release.
And that's what's coming from McFarlane HQ. Have fun out there.


text: I just looked at the 308 Valmet bolt and the bolt lugs are both longer, front to back, and wrap farther around the bolt similar to the PSL bolt. The 308 Yugo bolt doesn't look much bigger in the bolt lugs but the bolt face is extended forward to help feed the longer cartridge. The 8x57mm M76 bolt may have slightly longer bolt lugs but not by much. They may be similar to the PSL bolt though. I haven't compared them side by side. I don't remember exactly how the 308 Galil bolt looks. It is a bit different but I think thr bolt length is slightly different. Remember that the Russian did try a two lug bolt similar to the AK74 bolt in the 308 Saiga and the two lug bolt design FAILED CIP proof testing. That is why the 308 Saiga uses three bolt lugs. I bought a long barrel 308 Saiga as I didn't like the weird taper under the front sight base on the short barrel model. I removed the barrel. Stripped the barrel blocks and turned the barrel down to AK74 diameters and length, except under the handguards I left it thick. It's light weight and has a bit of recoil. I fitted the AK74 barrel blocks on it.

Ken Glasson may have found the perfect recipe for making history lessons fun.
Glasson opened Mount Pleasant Paintball this past Saturday with an emphasis on the paintball experience being a fun, yet educational, teaching point for participants.
"We need to let them (children) know what our past was all about, so we're not the fools who fall on the same sword twice," Glasson said Friday afternoon while making final preparations around the site.
Glasson is active in the Mount Pleasant community, serving as a town councilman and coaching football, soccer and lacrosse for the Mount Pleasant Recreation Department. He is a retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel with 31 years and six months of service. He retired nearly two years ago.
Glasson served as an infantry officer, a reconnaissance Marine and an intelligence officer during duties in the Persian Gulf, Kosovo and the Global War on Terror.
He said the United States is failing to uphold the core values that created this country, so one of his goals is to hire military veterans to manage the business and continue to hire should Mount Pleasant Paintball expand.
The paintball site, located at 2637 Clements Ferry Road, features different playing areas designed to replicate historical battles. Participants can play while learning about the Battle of Khafji, landing at Normandy Beach, trenches of World War I, Battle of Fredericksburg, Battle of Allanbrook and jungle warfare of Vietnam.
"By the time they leave here, they'll know about these wars," Glasson said. He also plans to bring in local war heroes to speak with participants. Paintball guns may not be military combat weapons, but the courses are designed to show tribulations of war and encourage strategy. "In order to be successful out here, you need to work together," he said.
"If a kid mows down 500 people in a video game, there's no consequences," Glasson said. "If somebody tries to come in here and shoot up the place, there will be consequences."
The full mission statement, as posted on Mount Pleasant Paintball's website, is: "to educate people of all ages – especially our youth – about battles our country has fought, to honor our veterans through employment and the opportunity to teach our next generation, and to learn teamwork, camaraderie and Esprit De Corps in a safe outdoor activity."
Participants compete in a capture-the-flag environment. The person who secures the battlefield's flag will earn a badge and a promotion in rank.

Rated 4.6 out of 5Â by 34 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by maggeemoo Love! I've had a lot of trouble finding a faux leather jacket that actually fits right, isn't too long, and doesn't look/feel like plastic. This was a splurge for me, but it was worth it. I'm 5'3" and I'm between a 6/8 dress size. I bought the 8 in this and it's perfect. Fits in the shoulders and hits right above my hips. I tried it on with pretty much my whole closet and it looks good with pretty much everything. I'm debating if I should get the stone, too! 1.5.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by dottiefresh Almost Perfect As a real life Vegan I love that FP offers Vegan Leather options! Needless to say I fell in love with the jacket and couldnt order it fast enough. I am 5'9, 135lbs, 34B and I ordered a size 2. The arms and length of the jacket were perfect but for some odd reason there was way too much material in the bust area. When the jacket was zipped up it was not as noticable, but when left open it was obvious that it wasnt laying right. There seemed to be too much material where the bust and armpit area met, it just looked awkward. I wouldnt want to size down to a 0 since I know it would look like I was trying to fit into a children's coat so unfortunately this is being sent back. 11.21.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NitaT PERFECT I've been looking for a faux leather jacket and was really excited when I found this one! It's not too cropped and it hits me right above the waist. The arms are also nice and long, which is usually hard to find in a jacket for me since I'm a little tall. A size two fits me perfectly. I am 5'8 and 140. I would've gotten a four, which was comfy and roomier, but the back stuck out a little. This jacket is super cute and soft, though. Glad I bought it! 8.20.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by elise1801 AWESOME BEST JACKET EVER! ...thats all i have to say :) 8.16.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FPKara Leather Love I have had this jacket for almost a year now and love it! The quality is really great and I get asked all of the time if it is real leather and where I got it. I also like the zipper detail on the sleeves to make them wider so you can push the sleeves up. This is my go to leather jacket at the moment! 8.3.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cafromca Love it! This jacket is soooo comfortable and it's perfect for Los Angeles, where no one is cold but everyone wears leather jackets. It's moderately warm and super soft. It feels like real leather! I would recommend it to anyone! 7.31.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by glimmergirl25 Better than leather! This was my first ever purchase from FP so I was a little nervous ordering online without knowing sizing, quality, etc. I was elated to find this gem of a jacket to be the absolute perfect addition to my wardrobe. I am 5"3" - 120 lbs and am usually a 0/XS up top. I ordered the 2 because they were sold out of the 0 but it turned out to be the perfect size. The lining is very soft and the vegan leather is really nice; better than real leather on so many levels. I love that the sleeves bell out a bit when you unzip them. 7.23.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Onlyouwouldbe Love it I bought this jacket last year before Christmas ,love it.i got size 0 true to size 6.28.2013

- Climate
Knysna Travel Guide
Knysna Lagoon © SATOUR
The beautiful town of Knysna is clustered around a vast tidal lagoon which opens to the sea through a narrow inlet guarded by two sandstone cliffs known as 'The Heads'. Arguably the most popular holiday hub of the Garden Route, Knysna draws more visitors than it can cope with, particularly during the peak summer holiday season.
The town has an interesting history, having started as a point of export for timber cut from the surrounding dense forests (which have been badly denuded as a result). In the early 19th century the town was almost solely owned by the enigmatic character George Rex, who was believed to be the illegitimate son of King George III of England. Rex fathered 13 children and is a legend in the Knysna area.
The town features some quaint Victorian houses, a modern commercial waterfront development, a lovely sandy beach at Leisure Isle on the east side of the lagoon, and some good shopping for local arts and crafts in the crowded town centre. There are some lovely scenic drives and walking trails through the remaining indigenous forests in the area, and sampling Knysna oysters and locally-brewed Mitchell's beer while on holiday here is highly recommended. The best time to visit Knysna is during its annual Oyster Festival, held every July, which includes music, food, sporting events, and of course oysters!
Knysna's three shopping malls have a variety of shops, and there are numerous local art, craft and curio shops in and around the town centre.
In and around Knysna one will find a selection of fine restaurants, seafood taverns, pubs, coffee shops and eateries. The waterfront has a variety of restaurants, serving food like oysters and seafood at 34 Degrees South to traditional South African fare at JJ's Restaurant. For fine dining there are special places like Glenshiel at Parkes Restaurant, while international fare includes Mexican, Italian, Moroccan and Asian.
The Oyster Catcher, on the Knysna waterfront, is a great spot for holiday sundowners and Crab's Creek, on the other side of the lagoon, is another favourite with a range of draught beer on tap and a laid-back atmosphere. For late night entertainment, Club Tryst is Knysna's hotspot, boasting a cocktail lounge, sports bar, pool tables, dancing and live music. More late-night fun can be had at Chilli Groove, and venues Al's and Tin Roof host regular live music
Knysna's location on the lagoon, near to forests, the sea and the mountains, means that there are a range of holiday activities on offer, from paddling to hiking, mountain biking and horseriding. The Heads Adventure Centre specialises in a variety of activities including abseiling and scuba diving. A really fun way to experience Knysna is to hire a house boat for a few days and sleep on the water.
In the peak summer holiday season, Knysna gets very crowded and accommodation is difficult to find. The national highway N2 passes through the centre of town and traffic jams are common.

With Flu season in full swing, it is never too late to help your body protect itself from falling for the virus. If you (like me) failed to get the Flu Shot, you are not completely out of luck. There are several simple ways that you can prevent yourself from suffering from the Flu.
Tips to help avoid the Flu:
· Try to avoid contact with people who already have the Flu. One of my roommates got diagnosed with the flu earlier this week and she has been locked away in her room since then! (If you must be around someone with the Flu, be careful not to touch the things they have touched)
· Wash your hands. During this time of year, you should do this as much as possible. Go grab a tube of Purell Hand Sanitizer for when you're on the go!
· Next time you shower, leave the vent running in order to keep the air in your house as clean as possible. (I tried this while I was showering this morning and it also helps reduce the amount of steam on your mirror)
· Avoid touching your eyes and mouth- these areas spread the disease quickest.
· While you are getting your hand sanitizer, try getting some Emergen-C. This is a great drink for anytime of day. There are many different flavors to try. Most people mix them with water, but I think they taste better when mixed with Sprite.
· Stay hydrated. Drinking lots of fluids will help your body's respiratory system liquefy the mucus that can cause respiratory infections.
· Change out your toothbrush. If you start to feel Flu-like symptoms, get a new toothbrush. You don't want to be putting bad the bad germs back into your body.
· Try sleeping with an extra pillow under your head. If you think you might be getting the Flu, try this as it can eliminate nasal congestion.
· Get as much Vitamin C in your body as possible. This is something that should be done year around, but it is especially essential during this time of year.
· Get as much exercise as possible. Exercising is a great way to build your immune system. Any exercise is better than nothing.
Although there is no way of completely dodging the Flu, your chances of getting it will certainly decrease if you are aware of the simple things that you can do everyday to prevent it from taking over your body. Best of luck!

I installed these and tightened the brass inserts as tightly as I dared rode it for about 20-30 min on a trail and they were leaking the whole time. I took my stock bleed screws with me and changed them on the trail. Seemed like a good idea but to me way overpriced for what you actually get. You could put together this kit easily for next to nothing. Overall very disappointment in the product. Made in Payson Utah where Rocky Mountain is based out of and probably made by the two guys that gave positive reviews. As always Rocky Mountain is awesome took it back with no hassle whatsoever.Read All Reviews

COLUMBIA - A long-serving conservative Democrat said Thursday that he was considering a top SC Senate position that would allow him to become the states next lieutenant governor.
It would be a rare opportunity for a Democrat, J. Yancey McGill from Kingstree, to lead a Republican-majority chamber, albeit briefly. McGill said in an interview that he was considering becoming Senate pro tempore, which would make him next in line to become lieutenant governor when Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell resigns to take his new job as president of the College of Charleston. McConnell said he would resign when it becames clear who the new lieutenant governor would be, but no one had yet expressed a desire for the job.
McGill, 61, said he knows taking the post likely means the end of his 26-year Senate career. He could run again for his seat, but it would mean starting again as a freshman legislator.
I didnt come up here for all that, he said about the political seniority. There comes a time when you need to spend some time with your family. I enjoy other things, too.
While electing a democrat as the republican majoritys leader would likely be a rare, if unprecedented move, McGill said that colleagues on both side of the aisle have encouraged him. He said the lieutenant governors role would be a golden opportunity to work on seniors issues ?and to work to give local districts more autonomy. McGill said he is aiming for a decision by June 17, when the Senate is back in session.
Former Senate President Pro Tempore John Courson, R-Columbia, said he supports McGill. Courson resigned the leadership post on Wednesday to avoid taking the lieutenant governors job.
I would have no problem supporting him to become lieutenant governor if thats what he wanted to do, assuming that a Republican senator would not have an interest in it, Courson said.
McGill would be elected by senators as pro tempore, and he would assume the lieutenant governor position when McConnell leaves, said Sen. Larry Martin, R-Pickens.
If thats what he prefers to do, I would be very supportive of it, said Martin of McGill. Im sure hes thought it through. The move came as a Columbia-based good government group planned to urge McConnell to keep his post for the remainder of his term if a successor wasnt identified.
John Crangle, director of Common Cause South Carolina, said Thursday theres no reason that McConnell cant hold both posts. McConnell is expected to start at the College of Charleston July 1. Crangle said a group from his organization plans to set up a meeting with McConnell.
Senators have said that its possible that when McConnell resigns, the person who is president pro tempore would automatically assume the lieutenant governors post, per state law.
McConnells contract and CofCs board of trustees could come into play. His contract stipulates that he may not pursue endeavors that could have the appearance of a conflict of interest. The contract also says McConnell must devote full-time energies to the duties as president.
McConnell couldnt be reached immediately Thursday. He said in an interview Wednesday that he wants the Senate to choose a new president pro tempore, which senators can do when they are back in session in two weeks. If a new president pro tempore is not selected by June 19, the last day the General Assembly is expected to meet, he plans to consider his options. Well cross that bridge when we get to it, McConnell said. Hopefully this will be worked out.
Months ago, McConnell rejected Common Causes suggestion, saying he did not want to hold both jobs. My commitment is to the college, McConnell said in March. When theyre ready for me, Im gone.
There is a local instance of an elected politician leading a public agency while simultaneously serving in office. State Sen. Paul Campbell, R-Goose Creek, currently earns $192,000 a year as the hired executive director of the Charleston County Aviation Authority.
Campbell was picked for the job last year. At the time he said he did not intend to resign from the Senate seat he has held since 2007, contending he can work remotely from Columbia when the legislature is in session, from January to June. His term ends in 2016. The aviation authority is a special purpose district chartered by the state in 1970.

Google rolled out a solution for the problem that multiple language sites started facing due to Panda filter. This key was in the form of 'hreflang' and 'canonical' tags. This is Google's way of telling site owners that they should use a regional subtag in their head tag for the website URL. This will help Google search crawlers to figure out the nature of content on each page and its relevance to a search performed. With these tags on websites, Google will comprehend that content on the site is truly intended for that region. Read more »

The 20, 40, 40 rule
I am often asked how we can take the technology aspect away from Internet Marketing. From my point of view the simplest way of explaining how it works is the 20 – 40 – 40 rule. I am not sure who came up with first but it's a simple way of explaining the factors that influence marketing on the Internet. 20 stands for that technology has 20% impact on success, 40 stands for that on-site stuff has 40% effect and finally that off-site stuff such as link popularity and bookmarking has the final 40%. So if we have the 20%, the foundation ok, the tech part is out of the way and we can focus on the rest.
Here is a good link in regards of this – Holistic Internet Marketing Approach

"Tiny Prints has provided great customer service and consistent phenomenal quality whenever we order our family invitations or cards. I continue to use this company for all my stationary needs again and again!"
"I ran out of time to get a Christmas card put together, but I knew I wanted to send a New Year's card in its place. Found the perfect card with just the right printed text and it was great to have lots of options on adding photos. Icing on the cake was how quickly the order arrived.....much faster than I thought. Thank you, Tiny Prints!!"
"This card looked beautiful. We chose the bronze color foil. The quality of the paper was nice & thick enough. I felt the color of the prints were a little diluted but that could be because it was on matte paper. Overall, very satisfied! Tinyprints provided excellent customer service."
"The tinyprints website made choosing the card and all the details quick and painless. Cards are perfect! We did not go with the scalloped edges as shown here. Love the backing. Received before the date that they had stated! Will do again next year :-)"
"This is the first time I've used Tiny Prints. It was hard to decide with all the beautiful design choices. I was very pleased with the quality of the paper and the printing. It seems a little more expensive than some sites but I felt with the rapid service and quality product it was worth it."

Rated 3.3 out of 5Â by 22 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by cunnu Cute but ...... Am 115, 5.5 and lean. Generally wear and got an XS. This one fits fine, but the hands are a little tight, i have really skinny arms. I am a 32B and the top fits just about right. I am worried about it shrinking if i wash it. But sizing up would make the lower part more poofy than what it already is. So not sure if i am keeping this top. The deep maroon color is beautiful. Also, i want to ask the designers: you took so much effort into little details and the right cut. Why the shabby material? its so cheap and thin, l am so afraid to wash it. Please please improve your quality. I am from India, there is so much variety out there, why this cheap ready to tear material? its priced 100 plus ! 9.10.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by heheduro Disappointed "I normally love all FP clothing. However I thought this shirt was overpriced for what it is. The back is too big and the fabric is too fragile, at the first use it broke. I had to return it :( 5.27.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Stegosaurus Can do better I was drawn to the plum color in the store but decided against buying it. The material seemed like it will look ragged after a few wears. The buttons looked cheap. I also found the sleeves to be somewhat tight in my usual size. This tunic just didn't look as nice up close. 9.16.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by poesque Pretty, but... Why such delicate/cheap fabric? I second what the previous reviewer said; why design such a nice piece then use the cheapest fabric possible? On to my personal experience: I purchased this before any reviews were posted and when my size was just about to sell out in Plum. I was thrilled when it arrived, but when I went to try it on it was another story. First when I just touched it to hang it on a hanger one of my nails pulled a "run" in it. I seriously wonder how this is sewn with out destroying it, I'm a seamstress and even I can not imagine how they did it. I bet these don't weather well on the rack in stores! I admit I am a sz Large, but I'm no linebacker by any means, but trying to pull this over my shoulders was almost impossible (seriously). While I was trying to get it on I could hear the seams breaking and I was being as delicate and careful as possible, this costs me $117 w/ tax, so I didn't want to destroy it. Once I got it on, it was tight across my chest (36DD) and the buttons gap (shouldn't be surprised about that). Over all I'm conflicted about this top, it's very pretty, but I'm surprised at the low quality, especially considering the price. It's the most disappointing item I think I've ever bought from FP. Usually a Large works well and I love most everything else I've bought. The price is waay to high for this top, even half the price would be too high. It's sad because I loved this in photos and BEFORE I tried it on. Just be prepared to file your nails well before you even touch this and order up if you want to get in on and you're not a trained contortionist! 9.14.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by sailin11 Very sheer I really like the design of this top but the material is really thin. Also, as you can see on the model, the way the buttons are placed leaves a gap. I got my usual size, it fits fine but I have a feeling that washing it might cause it to shrink. 9.7.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by trikechick Disappointing I have been waiting over 3 weeks for this top and what a disappointment (I live in the UK). It looks absolutely gorgeous but when you try it on, is it tight around the arms,the material is very fragile and you can see right through it. Recommend buy a couple of sizes bigger as looks better loose. For me it is definitely going back as not worth the money - sorry :( 10.1.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by katieh So Beautiful and Soooo Delicate This top is truly GORGEOUS! I love love love the color of the plum. I LOVE the way it fit (size large). The length was just perfect at 5'9". The down fall is the fabric.... I could hear the top tearing and popping seams when I slipped it on. I am not particularly busty but the buttons were were pulling from the placket. The fabric is just too delicate for me to keep this top. If only it was made of a slightly stronger fabric. 9.23.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by lauriea Tissue Paper. This is sooo beautiful in the plum size large. I am not a small girl, but I am not exactly plus size either. I tried this on in the large (36 C bust) and I could hear it ripping along the seams before it was completely on. Once on, it was soo beautiful I almost bought it.. Until I took it off and heard the seams ripping more and more. After I got the top off I examined the seams only to discover that they were starting to rip apart.. after only 30 seconds of wear. Also, I noticed the fabric had already started to pill.. not a good omen for this top. 9.20.2012

bamboo, luminous
Fire Station 10 and Fire Alarm Center/Emergency Operations Center
Planting strip on 5th Avenue South between South Yesler Way and South Washington Street
Fleets and Facilities Department Fire Facilities and Emergency Response Levy 1% for Art
bamboo, luminous is a stand of seven resin "bamboo shoots" that marks the entry to the Emergency Operations Center. Lit internally by energy-efficient LEDs, the slender yellow-green reeds transmit and pulse light in the evening and pull the viewer along the street.
According to the artists, "Bamboo is an element common to the landscapes and traditional arts of Asia and the Pacific—the homelands of many of the immigrants to the International District. Graceful and powerful, bamboo symbolizes the qualities of enlightenment - resilience and adaptiveness. bamboo, luminous is a metaphor for the strength and endurance of the immigrants to the International District and the service personnel of Fire Station 10, the Emergency Operations Center and the Fire Alarm Center... The various Asian communities and the service personnel of the International District are linked and honored by the metaphor of the enduring bamboo clustered together. bamboo, luminous—a gesture evoking a remembered landscape, and a symbol of strength and survival—is transformed into a glowing new urban landscape."
In 2003, voters approved a $167 million Fire Facilities and Emergency Response Levy to build 12 replacement fire stations and seismically upgrade the remaining 19 stations. The Office of Arts & Culture, working with the Fleets and Facilities Department and the Seattle Fire Department developed a program to incorporate site-specific art at Seattle's new neighborhood fire stations. bamboo, luminous is one of three artworks at Fire Station 10, for which Gloria Bornstein wrote an art plan, Different Voices, One Community.

Fishbone to bring funk, ska, rock to townWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | firstname.lastname@example.com
"Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone" is a star-studded documentary that shows how the innovative L.A. rockers have influenced many and continue to create.
Narrated by actor Laurence Fishburne, the film features fans Gwen Stefani, Ice-T, Branford Marsalis, George Clinton, Flea of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Les Claypool of Primus and more.
"Honestly, I couldn't tell if the documentary was good or bad when I saw the first cut; I didn't know the entertainment value. I knew that it was honest," said Fishbone bass player John Norwood Fisher.
"The entertainment value of it I wouldn't realize until we started going to screenings and seeing and feeling the audiences' vibe with it and going on a journey."Released in 2010, the movie chronicles how the group came together in 1979 and by the mid-1980s dazzled with its eclectic fusion of music.
"Punk rock, new wave, hip-hop and techno — all that stuff was just forming. The ska music out of England was just happening. Reggae was just taking on really in a big way in the United States. All this was happening at the same time," Fisher said.
And Fishbone added funk, rock and soul to all of that for a fun, frenetic sound that sometimes has a sense of humor or tackles social issues.
"We want to express life and the celebration of it as well as like, hey, we view issues personally and in the big scheme of things like society as a whole," Fisher said during a call from his home in Santa Monica, Calif. "You can dance to it or you could choose to escape or really listen to what we're saying and feel it, you know, there's passion, anger, laughter."
Spike Lee directed the video for Fishbone's 1991 hit, "Sunless Saturday." "Everyday Sunshine" also charted that year.
"The fact that we were all blacks didn't — that wasn't special to us, that we were black guys playing hard rock, or playing rock 'n' roll in the basic sense or venturing into punk rock," Norwood said. "Us mixing up all the styles of music just came natural."
Fishbone — Fisher, singer and sax man Angelo Moore, trumpeter Walter A. Kibby II, drummer John Steward, guitarist Rocky George, keyboardist Dre Gipson, trombonist Jay Armant — will play Sept. 14 at Mickey Finn's Pub at 9 p.m. with openers Downtown Brown, Gold and The Grubs. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 day of the show.
In 2011, the band released an EP, "Crazy Glue."
"It's the band Fishbone looking inward," Fisher joked about the title track.
For better or worse, he and original members Moore and Kibby have stuck together.
"At a certain point, you become self-aware and you go, 'Oh my god, there's this impact that we're having.' And you read your own press and people make a big deal about you being an all-black band doing what you do," Fisher said.
"There's a part of me that, like, you know, this is a legacy that must carry on and actually continue to create a future because as long as we're doing what we're doing, I believe that we create the possibility that other people can do similar things or even unsimilar things but maybe further out. We took it to one level, and somebody else can come along and take it to another level."

If strange things are happening in an old house in Salem, Massachusetts, then it has to be all because of that witch, Agatha Forbes!"
Students at Elkin High take to the stage this weekend for the comedy "All Because of Agatha" written by Jonathan Troy and directed by Leighanne Martin Wright.
Elkin senior Jonathan Parker and junior Courtney Davis play Duff and Joan O'Hara, a young couple who buy the house in 1968 from desperate, yet honest, realtor Mrs. Van Buren, played by junior Erin Cave. A visit by Mrs. Boggs, chairwoman of the Society of Psychic Phenomena of Salem, played by sophomore Emily Phillips, shows a bit more may be going on in the house than meets the eye. Joan hires Ethel, freshman Anna Taylor, as a housekeeper-cook-maid. A visit from Joan's favorite aunt, Thelma, played by sophomore Aspen Jackson, thrills Joan, but Duff not so much.
Neighbor Dr. Randolph, junior Andrew Smith, tells the couple of the havoc caused by the witch Agatha Forbes every year on November 22. It is Agatha's mission to rid the house of its occupants every year on that date. Joan decides to throw a party for the witch and invites Dr. Randolph, his mother, Madame La Solda, played by junior Ava McRitchie, who happens to also be a medium.
Reporter Flip Cannon, played by junior Leeza Hemric, comes to the party to do the write-up. Everyone is on the edge of their seat at the party as Agatha, played by senior Kate Ratledge, makes her appearance right on time. But when Agatha tries to get everyone to leave so she can get back to her bridge game with Marc Antony, things don't go as easily as she planned.
Backstage crew includes sophomore Jocelin Santos as stage manager, freshman Julie Neumark helping with set changes and lights and senior Jonathan Young also helping with lights. Nikki Defrietas and Aylin Aguilar will be the greeters at the door. Evelyn Sanchez helped with set painting.
The performances will be at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and at 3 p.m. on Sunday in Dixon Auditorium. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students.

When anyone under the age of 21 is caught drinking we refer to it as underage drinking. Drinking alcohol doesn't only get your kids grounded or possibly taken to jail, it harms their growing body and brian. And recent studies show that alcohol is the drug of choice for teens, even over cigarettes and marijuana.
Most kids who start drinking do so when they are between 13-14 years old and the rates of death and injury nearly triple between the early teen years and the early adult life. Dangerous activities like underage drinking play a large roll in that. And most of you are probably thinking that boys drink a lot more and younger than the girls, but according to studies and polls done of youth, they are pretty much neck and neck.
Many people don't know what all underage drinking can cause but it can be grave. It is a major cause of deaths in youth, can increase the risk of carrying out or being a victim of a physical or sexual assault; and can severely damage the brain. Researchers have figured out that the human brain continues to grow and develop through our mid-20's.
Underaged drinking is a public health and safety problem that results in serious personal, social and economic consequences for adolescents, their family and their community.

CONCORD, N.C. – A successful Dirt World Championships this past December at the Daytona Flat Track has prompted WKA officials to schedule another Speedway Dirt show this summer.
The event, titled the WKA Dirt Summer Nationals, will be held July 19-21 at Wheel Crazy Kartway in Johnsonville, S.C., a quarter-mile dirt track about an hour west of Myrtle Beach.
Wheel Crazy hosted the 2011 Tri-State Pro Series opener, but the track has been relatively quiet since. Track owner Michael Stone has been interested in holding a big event at the facility this season, and with WKA looking to promote a national dirt race this season in addition to Daytona, the two parties are very excited to work together and offer a prestigious event with good paying purses and awards for dirt karters.
Go to http://goo.gl/maps/XsDFH to view an up-close Google Map overhead shot of the track.
The Dirt Summer Nationals will run a very similar format as Daytona. The track will be open Friday for parking and practice. Racing will take place Saturday and Sunday. Approximately 14 classes will be offered each day and the goal will be to finish racing as early as possible to allow teams to enjoy Saturday evening and head home at a respectable hour on Sunday.
Pro money classes will be offered for all age categories. Pro classes will include senior Animal, Clone and Champ; Junior Gold, Junior 2 (Blue) and Junior 1 (Purple). The headline event will be Pro Animal, which will pay a healthy, To Be Announced purse.
In addition to money, Pro class winners will earn guaranteed starting spots to the applicable Pro main event at this December's 2013 Daytona Dirt World Championships.
The winner's share of the purses will be announced in the coming weeks.
For senior flat-kart classes, one race day will be devoted to Animal classes and the other day to Clone.
A tire rule will be in place for the event. The tire rule announcement will be made in the coming weeks.
As stated in the WKA Tech Manual and 2013 Tech Updates, Senior Clone classes will run big pipe, open dry clutch and one of the four approved flywheels – ARC 6619; PVL; Raceseng REV WHEEL FINNED S1, all at min. weight of 3 pounds, 2 ounces or Speed Karts Steel Billet S1 at min. weight of 5 pounds, 3 ounces.
All Junior Clone classes will run small pipe and shoe clutch.
Approximately 28 classes will be on the card, and the structure will be very similar to Daytona with Animal, Clone and one Champ class offered to Junior 1, Junior 2 and Junior 3. Senior classes will include, Animal Medium, Heavy, Super Heavy and Masters (35 years old and up) and the same classes for Clone.
An entry form will be posted this spring.
A wide range of sponsorship opportunities is available. A number of announcements regarding this race are forthcoming; be sure to watch WorldKarting.com for the latest news and sign up for WKA's Pit Board email newsletter, which you can do on the homepage of WorldKarting.com.

During adverse weather, while most people are safe at home, telephone linemen and other personnel risk their safety to restore needed services sometimes resulting in severe injuries such as that sustained by Eddie Krider.
Krider, a Skyline telephone lineman was injured around 6 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30 as he was cutting a tree off a telephone line in western Ashe County.
According to Karen Powell, public relations director for Skyline, "The employee was part of a SkyLine construction crew that had been called out at 4 a.m. to assist the Department of Transportation and local fire department to help re-open the road along N.C. 88 in Warrensville where a telephone line had been struck by a tree and closed off traffic. As the employee was cutting the tree off the telephone line, it kicked back and hit him."
Krider was taken to Ashe Memorial Hospital and later transferred to N.C. Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem. He sustained broken ribs and a punctured lung and is undergoing further evaluation.

Last week, a bit of a kerfuffle rose up on our forums as Greed Monger, a recently funded Kickstarter project, came under the scrutiny of players wondering about the status of the game. GM's Executive Producer, Jason Appleton, didn't take well to the accusations floating his game's way, and heated words were exchanged between he and forum poster here at MMORPG.com. We caught up with Jason to hear his side of the story, and hopefully shed some light on the whole situation as well as the status of Greed Monger's development.

Jason Appleton: Who knows? Look, I just call things how I see them and I don't tend to pull punches. People think that because you are a developer that you have to act like a priest. I'm not a priest. I'm an indie game developer and I speak my mind.
I would say that you have to act professionally as it's a company, possibly one with investors who want to see their money in good hands and they are there to ultimately sell a product and make their customers confident in the product and creators.
Not to mention.you want to always put on a good face. We have to do this in interviews, with clients, maybe meeting our new relationship's parents, etc.
It's part of making first and lasting impressions.
If I was an employer and I found his remarks, I wouldn't hire him.
I don't see being "an indy" developer as a free pass to act like a hurt kid. Then again, I have worked in a lot of professional ciurcumstances and I'm a bit older so maybe that's just me.

This is why indy studios are rarely taken seriously and not likely until after they're successful. This game got a pass from me a long time ago based on the silly things I read and the questionable revenue model. This sort of amateurish enagement puts this developer and studio in the same bin with Derek Smart, or worse because he could have at least learned from Smart.

Of course a developer would pull out of MMORPG.com's tear down community, there are people here with 10 pages of forum posts that are nothing but hopping from one game to another talking about how bad it is.
Maybe it is the feature that pops threads up to the front page, maybe they just take the gaming mentality into every part of life, but whatever reason they seem to travel around the landscape and attack, most of them have never even played the games they are attacking they just recycle something they heard somewhere else.
Even if you enjoy a game posting something that you enjoyed here is bound to attract this crowd, you will be accused of being a payed spokeman because you had fun in a dungeon or liked feature x. I am sure it is worse when you actually have a hand in the making of the project just to have this collection of trolls roll out and defecate on top of it.

The remarks about being employer....He is the CEO. Deal with it. I still am confused about why everyone wants to start drama about GreedMonger. If you don't want to read about it, think its a scam or whatever; just don't read it? Jesus, I feel this site is National Enquirer

Love the game concept, hope it comes alive, but he should not be the face of the company. Either that or take a few basic courses in corporate PR/branding.

Well to be honest all i can say is.. welcome to the internet mr Appleton.
But to me he looks like many indie-devs, he lack all forms of media traning and thinks he can out-joust people while missing the point that most major devs have take to heart and that is that you can not win against "haters".
My friendly advice (beyond get some proper media traning) is to simply ignore the people who are trying to get a rise out of you, because right now you just come off as rather paranoid and whiney since we do not share your knowledge or position.
When do the good fight turn bad, Smedley is a good example.
This have been a good conversation

The manager decided to go out on the interwebz and do a search on his name.
oh boy, and what we found.
We canceled the interview.
Many employers do this and it's why you will see warnings for having your facebook twitter and "whatever else" sites accessible by everyone.
So sure, please feel free to act however you would like and just know that some people will call you on it, some people will hesitate to hire you, do business with you or will use what you say/how you say it to their advantage.
A few years ago I was actively hiring musicians for several projects and if I found out that they were troublesome or edgy or seemed unstable due to how they acted at concerts or by way of mouth, I would pass them over.
I want reliable and good to work with. Not issues. Why, as an investor, would I feel confident in this company and its leadership? Well "I" wouldn't. Some might.

The reason people are attacking GM is because of his attitude towards some people here.
As well as the flip-flopping on their KS project.
Originally there were gonna be only 3000 plots available, that could be purchased thru KS, then they added more and gave some excuse.
At first, the only cost was going to be buying a plot, or selling a plot they would take a % of that sale, now they are covering it up by blaming Hero, or Unity or whoever else they can. Now they might have to have a cash shop and/or subscription.
Here's an idea for future developers, find this stuff out AHEAD OF TIME, not after your KS project, not after you make all these announcements. They should have known all this stuff before they came up with the pricing policy.
This game at once showed potential, imo now its gonna be vaporware, or an under 1000 people type game

you walk in to mcdonalds and the guy at the tile picks his nose and tells you to choke on your burger while spitting on it, would you still eat it? or even go back??
same is true if a dev regardless of company success has a pow wow against posts of their game. it only makes the game/company look worse.
if people posted about how horrible EA is and then EA pipped in that the user is an egotistical peice of poop... do you honestly thing EA would come out a heavenly angel?? LOLOL that is why instead of having pow wows on the forums against people who bash the game or deflame it, they should instead thank them for their feedback and point of view. calmly provide a counter point and go back to finishing their game. as the only way to shutup the haters or prove the devs are right in their game, is to actually finish it and provide it to people. until then pissing contests are pointless and only boost the the points people post against the game.

While it is good PR to act "professional" (subjective), I also agree with what he has to say about the forums on this site. It's one thing to look at an idea or concept and debate it like we do. It's a complete other thing for users on this site to start a personal vendetta against another human being, and have it played out here on the forums. It is slander, much of the time.
MMORPG should be looking into this a bit further. If I launch into an attack of another user, I get warned/banned. MMORPG.com also polices discussion of Emulators and games under NDA. I think they should add slander and personal attacks of people across the board, especially game developers.
Put up real solid proof of wrong doing, or shut up. There's way too much garbage theory-crafting about game developers here. If I listened to some of the more vocal idiots here, I would have to assume every induy game in development is a scam of some kind.
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.

Well, that's great and if people have a personal vendetta to invest in then anyone who is being the public face of a company or organization should prepare themselves accordingly. People aren't perfect, I think we all know that. But how you comport yourself can mean the difference in being successful or being looked at as a fool.
He is not the first person to be attacked in a public forum, whether it's on the internet or in "real life".
I would stick to your own forums where you have control of the moderation and can remove the rif-raf. Limit any official contact with MMORPG.com to news and announcements. Forum PvP won't help Greed Monger's cause.

My advice to Appleton- If you want to fix the issue you've now caused, hire a pr pro, issue an apology for your behavior, then stop talking. Let someone who can actually behave themselves, and express ideas without resorting to namecalling and threats be the face of the company.
I guarantee that Hero will look at your behavior when considering a relationship witlh your company. So will any potential investors. YOU poisoned the well, damaged your company and hurt your employees. Now hire someone to fix YOUR mistakes.

He's hardly the first businessmen to defend himself in the public eye. It may have been a futile effort, but I understand why he did it. This site is full of people who have nothing better to do than tear people and things down. Frankly, I'm finding myself avoiding MMORPG.com more and more these days because of the gross culture growing here. The best thing he and other developers can do for themselves is just avoid contact with these forums, unfortunately for all of us.
Alas, this is happening all over the internet though, and it's the reason why companies like Google are trying to do away with anonymity on their social sites like YouTube. Apparently when you give people something to hide behind, many are perfectly content to be as disgusting as they can to each other.

Here's a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Now if I direct these comments at one of the MMORPG.com users, I will be warned or banned (and by the way, he *IS* a forum user). Why should Quailman get a free pass to bash on a developer with his opinions? If they are going to allow this, then let's just go full PvP on the forums and go all the way.

Sorry, but if you think less of this guy because he got in an argument here with one of the forum warriors, you're the biggest fool of all.
He makes mistakes. Jesus had his flirations with Mary Magdalane. MLK Jr plagarized , etc etc.
People make mistakes. He acknowledges that he shouldn't have engaged in an argument with the forum warriors, but doesn't regret the things that he said.
The world would be a lot better place today, if you all, and everyone around you had this same amount of personal integrity.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results.
I read that entire interview and what I got out of it was Jason is combative and he danced arround the questions while apearing to have a chip on his shoulder. What I just read made him look like an arogant punk.

An opinion once stated is no longer humble.
I'm sorry you feel that way Mr Appleton.
While I agree that people calling your project a scam wasn't really warrented and for the most part those threads stuck scam in them to basicly attract attention I still don't think you will actually deliver.
I mean your history is one of jumping from one project to another. You do relise that developing evan a bad MMO takes at least 3 years of full time development and right now what you have is several part time staff, some Unity assets and the Hero engine. Heck you couldn't evan stick to the one engine to develop your game for 3 months.
It's this kind of thing that makes me leary of throwing money at you. Now I am sure your not doing it on purpose and right now you have every intention on actually producing a game but in 6 months time when the novelty of it all wears off your history suggests it will all be scrapped and you will move onto something else.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
There is nothing more dangerous than a true believer.

Comments On May 21, 2015:Got the wheels and tires in on schedule. Shipping was timely and they were packed well. Got them installed without issue. Everything looks great on the machine. I haven't had the opportunity to trail test them yet. I will get back to that after this weekend.

Comments On Apr 20, 2015:Put a set of 28" on my commander and the fun began. Just spent 4 days in the Hatfield McCoy trails in W VA and these bad boys took me everywhere I wanted to go plus more. climbed every rocky trail and went through deep mud hole without a problem. I little rough on asphalt at higher speeds but fine on the trails. I spent most of the time in 2 wheel drive because they puller so great. would recommend these to anyone looking.

Comments On Feb 08, 2015:Put these on roughly 1 year ago and seem to wear well, have had them on in a mixture of hard pack and mud, they do really good in the mud and for what the tire is made for do very well on the trail as well, a little wobble on the steering wheel at mid speeds but definitely glad to have them when you get to the mud holes. Would absolutely recommend them for people looking for a more aggressive all around tire.

Comments On Jan 13, 2015:Just received and installed these tires on the Viking. I considered the 28", but bought the 27" to hopefully avoid over stressing the drive train which will remain completely stock. The 27" tires look great and ground clearance at the side rails went from 13 1/4" to 15 1/2". More than I expected with a tire sized only 2" over stock. So far very impressed, but these will definitely leave a mark in a wet yard.

Comments On Sep 05, 2014:I purchased a set of 28's for my Brute Force 750 to replace the 26" mudlites that I was currently running and WOW, the mega mayhems are so much better. I was able to walk through places that I would get hung in with the mudlites. They handle really well, even at higher speeds. They do pretty descent in sand and water and they definitely DIG! If you get into some deep mud that has a bottom to it, these tires will definitely find it! Overall I am very pleased with the performance of these tires and on top of that I a definitely satisfied with RMA. Their costumer service is top notch and shipping is VERY fast. I placed my order on tuesday and they arrived on wednesday! You cant get any better than that!

Comments On Aug 27, 2014:After my brother put a set of 27" Mega Mayhems on his Outlander 650, I had to be a copy cat!!! We have been putting these tires to the test, through some serious terrain, and some awesome mud holes!!! Pulls through the mud with no problems at all!!! They run a little choppy on hard surfaces at real low speeds, but once you get rolling they ride real nice for a Mud tire!!! Also have to give a hats off to Rocky Mountain. Excellent Customer Service, and super fast shipping!!

Comments On Jul 10, 2014:these tires are amazing in mud gets through anything you want them too! they are also amazing water padles through water like a out board engine.these tires are light and durable i would highly recomend them so serious grip and power.Also my yamaha kodiak 450 spins 27s without a clutch kit with no rub either.

Comments On Jul 01, 2014:These tires were shipped mounted perfectly w/o and flaws or damage. They perform fantastic in the mud. They're a little choppy riding slow. Traction in wet sand is fantastic. The 28s fit w/o rubbing anywhere. There is still power to spare even thought the factory tires were 25s. I saved and will use the factory tires in the dry season as the machines acceleration is much better and those work fine in the summer. The Mayhems will paddle through the deep water and always find something to grab for traction. I don't believe they are as wide as advertised (11") but one has to be carful with too much tire you can break something!

Recent storms brought home the fact that we need to be prepared for emergencies, especially in the winter.
Unless you have a storm on the way right now, your best bet is to assemble your emergency supplies one step at a time. Watch for sales, and stock up when the items you need cost less.
Flashlights and lanterns: Before buying a new one, read the fine print. Many handheld flashlights now have the specs right on the label: how many batteries it takes, the range of the light beam, the lumens (higher is brighter) and how many hours it will run on a set of batteries. Compare the features. Don't spend extra for a torch-type flashlight that will send its beam 100 feet but only for five hours if what you really need is one that will light a room for many more hours. Be sure each member of the family has one for moving around the house safely.
Hand-crank radio: These require no batteries, only arm muscles to wind the crank to charge. Many of them come with a set of adapters to charge your cell phone as well.
Battery-operated TV: Before you buy one, go online and read the comments from others. Many of these tiny televisions are finicky about receiving signals, only get a few channels or are otherwise hard to operate. Be sure of the return policy if you buy.
Generator: Let history be your guide here. If you're in an area that frequently loses power for long periods, a generator can help keep a few of your appliances going, such as refrigerator and freezer, thereby saving the cost of replacing all your food. If you lose power now and then, but only for a short time, a generator might not be cost effective — unless you need it for heat.
Outdoor grill with propane tank: When the power goes out, grills are handy not only to cook meat before it goes bad, but to heat pots of water for tea, coffee, instant oatmeal and other prepared foods like soup or macaroni and cheese. One benefit of propane is that you can instantly turn it off and not have wood or briquettes still hot if the wind blows.
A word about candles: Don't. For safety, use flashlights instead.
