brown dress leather after about two years with plenty of motorcycle riding.
Those look amazing. Is it weird riding with that heel? Shifter toe doesn't look bad at all.

somebody stole your speedhooks
navy blue cxl's will be my xmas purchase this year. still deciding if i should do semi dress with a single natural sole or Baker's oxford with the off-white vibram sole. the navy suede Walk-Over bucks i own do well in my rotation, so i welcome the color.

If youre above 30, chose the Semi dress, below chose the white soles....now that`s going to get a lot of responses! But guess most will agree....
my first thought on this is "who the hell are you to say this?" then i saw your collection of White's and i must pay respect. i'm pretty sure i'm gonna get the boots, but crepe soles are so comfortable. and with me being 40 and married with kids, comfort is important.

10 in Wolverine 1000miles
10.5 in Quoddy
11 in Vans
I'll post the final order when its in, but I think it will be all black horween cxl, medallion cap toe, natural sole, double midsole, vibram 700 half sole. On the advice of the forum, I'm sticking with the normal heel and going with the cuban.
Edit: would doing a half slip instead of a full double sole alter the boot much? I figure with the vibram 700 up front I'll still have a double sole up there.

Just found this thread a few days ago and have enjoyed reading the posts.
I bought a new pair of 8" SmokeJumpers at a clothing store in Missoula back in 1975. Think they were $75 (which was a lot back then). Used them daily for 5 years of hard logging and will tell you those puppies were as tough as nails. Choker barbs, broken branches, rocky terrain, walking up and down logs all day - nothing could phase these boots.
Had then resoled by a local shoe repair about 1980 and was sorry I did. They weren't the same.
Fast forward to present. Found my boots in a back corner of the garage all dusty and stiff from sitting for so long. Remembered that Whites did complete rebuilds so I boxed 'em up and sent 'em off to Spokane. When the boots arrived there I talked to the guy over the phone and decided that the mini-Vibram was the way to go. Guy didn't know if the boots would hold up through the re-build process but said he would call back if that was the case.
Month later the guys calls back - now I am worried. He said that they could not save the tongues and to replace them would be an extra $20. I gave the green light and am now awaiting delivery. Will post pics once they arrive.
Does anyone else have stories about getting White's rebuilt?

Ties That Bind {By: Cindy Woodsmall}
I have an obsession with Amish fiction. I especially love it when that Amish fiction is written by Cindy Woodsmall. She is one of my favorite authors and has such a love for the Amish community. She lovingly tells stories about their lives and makes it accessible to everyone else in the world. Her new book and the first in the series The Amish of Summer Grove, Ties That Bind, is such a wonderful and delightful book to read. There are twists and turns and events that keep you on the edge of your seat...and it's all in a book.
Ariana Brenneman is the main character. Her story is so unique and full of so many plot twists. Her life in the Old Order Amish seems normal to her. She has aspirations to open a café to help support her family. But, someone in her life wants to lure other Amish people into the English lifestyle. Are his plans to help her or bring her harm? She wants to find out and when she does it is the biggest surprise of all.
Her family has kept secrets from her that Quill Schlabach wants to reveal. Will he be successful or will he be stopped before the truth comes out? No matter what Ariana does, Quill keeps showing up in her life. This time, he has information about her family's secrets and how that could affect her in the long run.
I love everything about this book. The Amish lifestyle is explained very well. Sometimes when you read Amish fiction it can be confusing. Cindy Woodsmall does a fantastic job walking the reader through every part of the Amish life and explains why they do what they do. Since she is so connected to the Amish community she has "insider" information and knows the ins and outs of their day-to-day life. I highly recommend this book and look forward to the sequel.

A Christian Guide To The Classics {By: Leland Ryken}
I absolutely LOVE reading the classics. Canterbury Tales, Edgar Allan Poe, The Pilgrim's Progress, anything by Jane Austen, and so on. My love of books came from reading the classics when I was younger. It gave me a good foundation for reading and they all have great vocabulary. But, as a Christian I tend to read them with a different viewpoint. Leland Ryken's new book, A Christian Guide To The Classics, helps to break down these books (and other written materials) from a Christian worldview. He expounds on the greatness of the classics while also being realistic in that we shouldn't read them just because they are considered "classic". I received this book from Family Christian for review purposes.
The author gives the reader step-by-step instructions on breaking down exactly what a "classic" is and how to read them. He gives many examples from great historical authors and includes a sampling of different literary classics from many different genres and time periods (page 94-98). At the back of the book are a few quotes by famous classical writers about reading and books. It was fun to read what some of them had to say about books.
Here are the chapters listed in order:
- Misconceptions about the Classics
- What is a Classic?
- Why We Should Read the Classics
- The Greatest Classic: The Bible
- How Not To Read a Classic
- How to Read a Classic
- Christian Classics, Part 1
- Christian Classics, Part 2
- Secular Classics
- Where to Find the Classics
I have a home library because I homeschool. Not that you have to homeschool to have a home library but we do because of that reason. Over the years I have collected many books. After a while I got to a place that I would only buy books that were considered "morally sound" and/or a classic. Earlier this year I went through all of my books and weeded out the "twaddle" books and am left with plenty of books still. With this new book, A Christian Guide To The Classics, I feel fully equipped to buy great books and literary works in the future to add to my collection.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves books. You will learn so much about the different styles of classics and what a true Christian classic really looks like.

5 Minutes With Jesus {By: Sheila Walsh}
Sheila Walsh is one of my favorite authors, speakers, and singers. She is a Scottish- born Christian and loves Jesus more than anything. She has written many books including How To Be God's Little Princess, God's Mighty Warrior Series, God Loves Broken People, and the list goes on. I love her style of writing because it is honest and open. Her newest book, 5 Minutes with Jesus, is no exception. She has poured her heart out in this book so that the reader will be able to know the importance of spending time with God each day.
Sheila Walsh explains how we are busy people. So busy that sometimes the most important things in our lives get put on the back burner. Our time with Jesus each day shouldn't be one of those things. If we give Him even just 5 minutes each day it will be life-changing. God wants our hearts. He wants our time. He wants our prayers. In this little, hardback devotional you are given just that...5 minutes with our Savior.
In each devotion, you will find a powerful story. She tells stories from her life and from those who are in the bible. Her way of writing is vulnerable and captivating. There is also a takeaway section that gives you a small quote from the devotion that you can use to remember what you have read. Then there are scripture verses from the bible that go along with each devotion to give you God's insight about each subject.
The 5 minutes you spend with Jesus reading this devotional each day will be powerful and inspiring. It will help you get through your day with His word hidden in your heart. I know as a busy mother to three little boys (that I also homeschool) I have a hard time carving out just a few minutes to myself. I even have a hard time going in the bathroom without someone banging on the door. But, I have learned that if I get up a few minutes before my children (they know not to get out of bed until 7am) I can get those first few minutes of time in with my Lord.
It is so worth it to me. I highly recommend 5 Minutes with Jesus for your devotional. No matter where you are in life or what is going on, taking time with God is the most important decision you will ever make.

Praying The Bible by Donald S. Whitney (Review & A Giveaway!)
Praying is one of those things that many of us do not know how to do naturally. I have struggled with prayers since I became a Christian when I was 16. I have studied many books and the Bible. I have also listened to many sermons and speakers about this subject. Finally, I was gifted this book by Family Christian for review. Praying The Bible by Donald S. Whitney is a fantastic book about how to pray using only scriptures.
Praying using only scriptures seems easy enough but there is more to it than opening your Bible and saying the passage. It's about finding the right passages and using them to glorify God in our prayers. This little book is hard bound and very simple to read. It can be read in an afternoon while sitting under a shade tree on a quilt. It opened my eyes to a whole new world of praying.
Praying The Bible starts off with The Problem with how we currently pray. We get side tracked very easily, we become robots just saying what we always say, we get tired and bored. Then the author brings us The Solution. He writes about what we can do about the problems to have a more satisfying prayer life. Finally, he writes about The Method in which you can obtain this new and profound prayer life.
In the later part of the book, Donald Whitney gives examples of praying the Bible. There is a chapter on Praying The Psalms, Praying Other Parts Of The Bible, and so on. I love to pray the Psalms. It is one of my favorite ways to pray and with the help of this new book I am able to communicate with God better.
I absolutely loved reading Praying The Bible and I know you will too. That's why Family Christian has allowed me to give one away to a reader on my blog. Please enter to win a copy for your very own home library below. Blessings to you in your prayer walk!

Things Not Seen {A Review & Giveaway}
I know you have all probably heard of the website desiringGod.org. I go there often to look up sermons and read articles pertaining to current events with a Godly perspective. Jon Bloom is the cofounder and president of desiringGod.org and the author of Not by Sight: A Fresh Look at Old Stories of Walking by Faith. His new book called Things Not Seen gives you a fresh look at old stories from the bible and the promises that God has made to us.
You can read this as a regular book with short stories in it or as a devotional like I did. I have an obsession with devotionals. I just love them because you can get your time in with God and feel refreshed for your day in a short amount of time. Things Not Seen gave me hope and a new perspective about what the Bible says about God's promises and trusting Him.
Jon Bloom goes through 35 Bible stories and retells them very creatively. He captivates the audience by giving each story a real life feel. Sometimes it is hard to relate to some of the stories and people from the Bible but this book allows you to get a closer glimpse of what life would have been like in that time and how it can relate to your life now. Each story comes with the actual Bible passage and then a retelling from Jon Bloom's perspective.
Some of the stories that are retold in this book are:
- Abraham and Sarah and what to do when facing the impossible.
- Moses and the feeling of inadequacy when facing trials.
- Mary and Martha and who you really serve.
- Joseph and his brothers and extending grace to all.
- Judas and the love of money.
- Gideon and why God does give us more than we can handle.
- Samson and how weakness can make you strong.
Family Christian is gifting one of my readers with a copy of Things Not Seen by Jon Bloom. Please enter below for your chance to read this book for yourself.

The Berenstain Bears' Harvest Festival {Review}
I just adore a good Berenstain Bears book. The newest addition to the collection is also a Living Lights book. It is called The Berenstain Bears' Harvest Festival. It is full of hope, love, and God's beauty.
The whole family is out helping in the garden on the first day of fall. The children are noticing the new changes such as the colorful leaves and the squirrels gathering nuts. Mother suggests they go to the Harvest Festival at their neighbor's farm where their church congregation will be also.
As they walk along the road on their way to the festival they all see how beautiful God created the fall season. The colors, the animals, and even the insects. When they arrive at the farm the children see all of the wonderful vegetables and fruit that have been growing for the fall season. There are apples, pumpkins, and corn stalks.
The festivities begin with apple picking and pumpkin picking. They soon take a hayride around the farm where they see all of God's wonderful creations. They end the evening with a big harvest meal and a prayer from their pastor.
It is such a delight to read a book to my children that is focused on God and seeing God in all things. I love Berenstain Bears book and always recommend them to anyone with children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, students, etc.
This book was given to me by BookLook Bloggers in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed here are solely my own.

Crash The Chatterbox by Steven Furtick {Review}
Crash The Chatterbox is a new book written by Pastor Steven Furtick. He is the founder and lead Pastor for Elevation Church based out of Charlotte, NC. It has grown to about 10,000 people in attendance per week. Steven Furtick has written other books (Sun Stand Still and Greater), which became New York Times best-sellers.
Honestly, Crash The Chatterbox is one of the best books I have ever read on the subject of hearing God's voice above all the worldly noise. I could not put this book down. I read is very quickly because it was easy to read and it kept me saying "Amen!" the entire time.
The author refers to all the voices in the world that tell you anything different from God's word as the "Chatterbox". He also refers to Satan as the "Chatterbox". I love that he used hashtags throughout the book. It helped me to be able to promote the book easily.
Here is some more info about Steven Furtick:
- "Steven Furtick is the founder and lead pastor of Elevation Church.
In just under seven years, Elevation Church has grown to more than 10,000 people in weekly attendance, meeting at seven locations in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. Elevation has been named one of the fastest growing Churches in America by Outreach Magazine for each of the past six years.
Pastor Steven has been privileged to minister to a global audience, speaking at conferences and churches around the world, including Catalyst Conference, Hillsong Conference, and the Willow Creek Global Leadership Summit. He is the author of the New York Times best-selling book, Greater, and the nationally acclaimed Sun Stand Still.
Pastor Steven holds a Master of Divinity degree from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
He and his wife Holly live in the Charlotte area with their two sons, Elijah and Graham, and daughter, Abbey."
- "I used to think that someone who struggled with the kinds of weaknesses I deal with daily was useless to God. I felt so often like I was drowning in internal dialogue I couldn't control. It had been the soundtrack of my life for as long as I could remember.
Yet everything changed when I began to realize God has given us the ability to choose the dialogue we believe and respond to. And once we learn how, we can switch from lies to truth as deliberately as we can choose the Beatles over Miley Cyrus on satellite radio.
This is the key to pressing ahead and doing God's will anyway, even as you are bombarded with thoughts, feelings, and even facts about why you can't do it.
I'm now awakening to the reality that we can access the power of God's promises to constantly crash the system of our broken beliefs. I'm learning how to overpower the shouts of the Enemy by bending my ear to the whisper of God's supernatural truths about my identity in Him and His strength in me."
-STEVEN FURTICK, from Crash the Chatterbox
Includes discussion questions for individuals or groups.
Inside your head and heart is a chatterbox. Its lies are keeping you from realizing your God-given potential. But what can you do about them?
The Voice You Listen to Will Determine the Future You Experience
In Crash the Chatterbox, Pastor Steven Furtick focuses on four key areas in which negative thoughts are most debilitating: insecurity, fear, condemnation, and discouragement. He asks, "What great deeds are in danger of remaining undone in your life because of lies that were planted in your past or fears that are looming in your future?"
With personal stories, inspiring examples, and practical strategies, Pastor Furtick will show you how to silence the lies and embrace the freeing affirmation of God.
Learn how to live out God's truth no matter what is going on in your life or thoughts.
Learn how to crash the chatterbox…and hear God's voice above all others."
Another of my favorite quotes is found on page 184, "Don't let what you expected keep you from what God wants you to experience. God has plans for you that you know nothing about right now. That means He may take you down paths that seem to lead to nowhere. Believing God means assuming that He is always working, even when our faith and prayers and love don't seem to be working at all. Realizing this opens our hearts to accept what God has allowed in each season of our lives without being overtaken by discouragement..." (emphasis my own). These are very important words and we should dwell on them.
I HIGHLY recommend this book. I will be gifting this book to others who may be struggling to hear God's voice above the crazy noise of the world. Please go out and buy this book. It will change your spiritual and mental life. I am already speaking more positively to myself and of myself.

Live updates: Israeli-Palestinian violence
Inside the hidden world of hostage taking
09 Apr 2013 19:47 GMT | Humanitarian crises, Europe, Serbia
A 60-year-old man has shot dead 13 relatives and neighbours, including a two-year-old child, in a tiny Serbian village, in the country's worst killing spree in two decades.
The man shot most of his victims in the head as they were sleeping before he shot and wounded himself, police said on Tuesday.
The motive for the pre-dawn attack, which shocked the village outside the capital Belgrade, was not immediately clear.
"Twelve people were killed on the spot while the thirteenth died in a hospital emergency room," Milorad Veljovic, head of Serbian police, told journalists.
"Doctors are trying to save the lives of three injured, including the perpetrator of this monstrous murder," he said.
Two-year-old child
It was the killing spree with the most victims in Serbia in two decades, a police source told the AFP news agency.
The national RTS television identified the attacker as sexagenarian Ljubisa Bogdanovic, who it said killed six men, six women and a baby. Police said the 13th victim was a two-year-old child.
The victims were killed around 0300 GMT in five different houses in the village of Velika Ivanca, some 50km south of Belgrade, inhabited mostly by the gunman's relatives, Veljovic said.
"There are a total of five houses, belonging to his family and his neighbours. We still don't know the motive," he said.
All the victims were sleeping when they were attacked and were practically all shot in the head, he added.
The killer is believed to have first killed his 42-year-old son, then his mother, and wounded his wife before continuing his killing spree.
Police later found him in the yard of one of the houses where he tried to commit suicide. The gunman was hospitalised with head injuries and doctors were fighting to save his life, Veljovic said.
'Best neighbour'
Residents of the village described the suspect as a nice, quiet man.
"He knocked on the doors and as they were opened he just fired a shot," said resident Radovan Radosavljevic. "He was a good neighbour and anyone would open their doors to him. I don't know what happened."
Police have sealed off the access to the five houses, located on a hill in a remote area of the village of some 1,700 inhabitants.
"I talked to him yesterday. I asked him how he was, and he said fine. He asked me about my health," Stanica Kostadinovic, a visibly shocked neighbour in her 60s, told AFP.
"He was the best neighbour. Nothing indicated that such a thing could happen. Only he knows the motive for the killing."
"He was a good host, he and his son, nice, hard-working, always ready to help," the woman said, adding that as far as she knew the killer was not consuming alcohol.
According to police, the man had a firearms licence.

Inside the hidden world of hostage taking
19 Aug 2013 23:26 GMT | Politics, Africa, US & Canada, United Kingdom, United States
The United States believes Zimbabwe's recent election was flawed and it doesn't plan to loosen sanctions against President Robert Mugabe's government, the State Department said on Monday, despite a call to scrap the sanctions from Southern African leaders.
Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe since independence from Britain in 1980, is set to be sworn in as president as early as this week, extending his 33-year rule of the country after winning the July 31 election.
A change in US sanctions policy will occur only in the context of credible, transparent and peaceful reforms that reflect the will of the Zimbabwean people
Jen Psake, US State Dept. Spokeswoman
The 15-nation Southern African Development Community, which helped broker a power-sharing deal after disputed elections in Zimbabwe in 2008, backed Mugabe's re-election on Sunday.
Western nations, prevented by Mugabe from sending observers, have condemned the vote for irregularities in voters' lists and in election procedures. Independent local observers also complained of irregularities.
"The United States stands by our assessment that these elections, while relatively peaceful, did not represent a credible expression of the will of the Zimbabwean people due to serious flaws throughout the electoral process," said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki.
"We have made clear to the government of Zimbabwe and the region that a change in US sanctions policy will occur only in the context of credible, transparent and peaceful reforms that reflect the will of the Zimbabwean people."
The US, Britain, and the European Union have imposed sanctions against Mugabe and senior leaders of his ZANU-PF party for human rights violations and suspected rigging of previous elections
The opposition Movement for Democratic Change, led by Morgan Tsvangirai, on Friday dropped its court challenge to Mugabe's landslide win, saying it doubted it would get a fair hearing.
The United States imposed sanctions on Mugabe in 2003. The sanctions, which ban more than 250 Zimbabwean individuals and companies from doing business with the United States, were extended in 2009.
Mugabe has ruled Zimbabwe since it gained independence from Britain in 1980 and is Africa's oldest leader.
Psaki said it was "feasible" the US could review sanctions toward Zimbabwe if conditions in the country improved, but for now they would remain.

England's Chris Wood said he felt a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders after he recorded his first European Tour victory at the Qatar Masters thanks to a superb eagle on the 18th green.
The 25-year-old Englishman started the final hole on Saturday (local time) a shot behind Spain's Sergio Garcia and South African George Coetzee, who had set the clubhouse target at 17-under-par, but a 12-foot putt at the par-five 18th handed him a one-stroke victory.
Wood, who fired a majestic six-iron from 202 yards following a booming drive at the last to set up the eagle chance, came home with a three-under 69 while Garcia (66) and Coetzee (65) had to settle for joint-second.
Sweden's Alexander Noren (71) and England's Steve Webster (68) finished four strokes further back on 13-under.
"This win is massive for me. It's taken a huge weight off my shoulders," said Wood, who finished tied-fifth at the 2008 British Open to grab the leading amateur honours and then came joint third at the year's third major 12 months later.
"I've been knocking on the door in previous times and it's not happened. To get it today, to get my first win, it's such an honour. I'm so pleased."
Since he burst onto the scene in 2008, the 1.96-metre Englishman has finished second three times although he won the 2012 Thailand Open on the OneAsia Tour.
Wood had played 115 previous European events without a win and two years ago he squandered a four-shot 54-hole lead at the Iberdrola Open in Mallorca as 2011 British Open champion Darren Clarke won the trophy.
In Qatar Wood was again in danger of letting a lead slip, when his three-shot third-round advantage evaporated as he ran up a double bogey at the par-three third hole after a mishit chip.
Wood's ball hit a brick wall supporting the raised green and bounced back over his head into desert scrubland.
"Making that double bogey was a big setback," said Wood, who will climb from world number 142 into the top 60 when next week's rankings are released.
"I had had a fairly sleepless night. But that turned out to be quite a good fright. It settled me down a bit and I gave myself quite a few birdie chances after that."
Wood produced a sublime chip at the difficult par-four 15th to save par and although he let two good birdie opportunities slip at 16 and 17, his eagle at 18 for the victory led to a flood of messages of support.
"Very well done and congratulations on your maiden victory in Qatar. What a way to finish! All the best for the rest of the season," nine-times major winner Gary Player said on his Twitter account.
Compatriot Luke Donald, the world number three, added on Twitter: "Some finish by Chris Wood to earn his 1st European Tour title - first of many - congrats."
Wood, while clearly delighted and relieved, had some sympathy for Coetzee, who now has 21 top-10 finishes on the European Tour.
"I know how he feels. He has come close a couple of times like I have. So I am sure it won't be long before he wins," said Wood.
Former world number two Garcia, playing his first tournament of the 2013 season, praised Wood for bouncing back after his double bogey early on.
"Obviously he's been trying for a while and he deserves it, and after the start he had today, it's quite impressive for him to come back the way he did and win," said the world number 19.

Common Council Sets Standards for Elementary School Playgrounds

On a unanimous vote, the Milwaukee Common Council today passed a measure (see attached PDF) that will require all new elementary schools in the city to provide a minimum amount of safe, open play space to help children stay healthy and active.
"To combat the epidemic of childhood obesity and high rates of diabetes, this legislation is providing an opportunity for all children to take part in physical activity during the school day," Alderman and primary sponsor Michael J. Murphy said. "Academic research has shown a direct correlation between healthy minds and strong bodies. Now is the time to ensure our children have access to a healthy and active lifestyle."
Alderman José G. Pérez and Alderman Robert J. Bauman co-sponsored the measure.
The measure requires new public, private and parochial elementary schools to provide at least 75 square feet of outdoor play space for each child using the space at a given time, and to surface the area underneath playground equipment with a soft, energy-absorbing material such as loose sand, pea gravel, mulch or shredded rubber, based on manufacturer's recommendations.
Concrete or asphalt surfaces under climbing equipment and slides will now be prohibited.
For new elementary schools that do not have the necessary outdoor play space on the premises, the measure allows schools to provide that space somewhere off-site. In order to qualify for that exception, the school must apply in writing and demonstrate a plan for the outdoor play space, including the means of transporting students to the space, that adequate supervision will be available, arrangements to meet children's toileting needs and that the area is safe and free of any hazards.
"This measure represents a great step forward for children's health and safety," Alderman José G. Pérez said. "Once they've safely spent some of their youthful energy on the playground, our students can return to their books with clearer heads and better focus.

First Solar to construct 26 MW Arizona PV plant; sells 2 projects12. March 2012 | Applications & Installations, Industry & Suppliers | By: Becky Stuart
U.S.-based First Solar Inc. has been selected by NRG Energy Inc. to build the 26 megawatt (MW) Avra Valley solar plant, located near Tucson, Arizona. In other news, NextEra Energy Resources has acquired two projects from First Solar.
In addition to building the large-scale project, First Solar will also supply its thin film photovoltaic modules and single-axis tracker system. Construction is scheduled to begin this month and should be completed by the end of 2012. A total of 200 jobs are expected to be created, and the generated electricity will be sold to Tucson Electric Power under a 20- year power purchase agreement.
"NRG and First Solar have built a very strong working relationship, starting with our first 21 megawatt project in Blythe, California to our most recently completed 20 megawatt Roadrunner solar generating station in New Mexico," commented James Kelly, director of development for NRG Solar.
In related news, NextEra Energy Resources has completed its acquisition of two of First Solar's photovoltaic projects, worth 40 MW. The projects, located in Canada's St. Clair, were designed, developed and constructed by First Solar. They began commercial operation in February.
Subsidiaries of NextEra' Canadian subsidiary, NextEra Energy Canada, ULC, now own and operate the plants, which are said to generate enough power to serve around 6,440 homes. It is being sold to the Ontario Power Authority via long-term contracts under its Renewable Energy Standard Offer Program (RESOP).
Peter Carrie, First Solar Vice President for Business Development, Canada commented, "The projects employed 800 construction workers, including local First Nations workers, and are the first large-scale solar facilities permitted under the Province's Renewable Energy Approval process."

LOS ANGELES - Looks can often be deceiving and they certainly were on Saturday at the Coliseum when No. 9 USC defeated Colorado, 50-6. After scoring their second touchdown of the game, the Trojans attempted to go for a two-point conversion. The designated holder on the play, wearing jersey No. 35, ran in the conversion but it was called back because of a holding penalty. Punter Kyle Negrete is listed as No. 35 on the USC roster. The fact that "Negrete" was holding, sparked interest, because it would make the third different holder the Trojans have had this season. Matt Barkley began the season as the holder, before third-string quarterback Cody Kessler took over as the new holder. However, in the play-by-play from Saturdays game, Kessler is listed as the runner on the two-point try and not Negrete. And, this was not a typo. When asked if Negrete would be the new holder going forward, USC head coach Lane Kiffin offered not to discuss it. Id really, rather not get into tha...

An increase in prison violence and escapes is fueled in part by the increasing presence of members of highly organized drug cartels and other gangs in the prisons. In January, a fight between inmates in the Gulf Coast city of Altamira left 31 dead. A total of 171 inmates died in such violence last year, up from 45 in 2007, according to the newspaper Milenio.
Often, the riots and escapes are aided by authorities.
In the most striking case, prison corruption resulted in a massacre outside prison walls in 2010. Guards and officials at a prison in Gomez Palacio in northern Durango state let cartel inmates out, lent them guns and sent them off in official vehicles to carry out drug-related killings, including a massacre of 17 people at a rented dance hall. After carrying out the killings, the inmates returned to their cells, where they were safe from their rivals.
More typical was a prison massacre last July in the border city of Juarez that killed 17 inmates. Surveillance video showed guards standing passively by as two inmates took their keys and opened cell doors to spray bullets into a room where members of a rival gang were reportedly holding an unauthorized party, complete with women and booze.
The Zetas, with their quasi-military discipline, probably have an edge on their rivals from the Gulf cartel, said Benitez, the professor who studies security.
"Once inside, they gain control rapidly," he said.
The Zetas and Gulf cartel split in 2010 and have been fighting bloody turf battles in Monterrey and throughout much of northeastern Mexico since then.
But Benitez said Mexico's prisons are part of two larger problems: rampant corruption and a dysfunctional justice system.
"The prison system is just one part of the larger penal-justice system, and in Mexico the penal reform movement is going very badly," he said.
Authorities agreed there are huge problems.
"The shortcomings that exist in Mexican prisons, insufficient food, inadequate space to sleep, (poor) clothing for inmates, bad medical service, have made the prisons into places where corruption and inequality among inmates proliferates," according to a 2008 report on the nation's prisons, the federal Public Safety Department said
The report recommended legal changes to let more prisoners await trial while on bail, and the construction of more and better jails. Three years and hundreds of inmates deaths later, none of those changes have been carried out.

The present invention relates to dust collection hoods and particularly to a dust collection hood used with an existing sanding bench, which is provided with both a low table level dust collection vent and an airborne dust collection vent, lights for illuminating the work surface for inspection, a storage shelf that shields the user's eyes from the light, and sandpaper dispensers.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Substances such as dust, smoke, fumes, gas, and other harmful constituents often affect the health of employees. Various dust collecting techniques have been developed, such as a process in which the contaminated substances are collected by suction through means of a dust collection hood. This process is based upon the technique of sucking and removing generated contaminants through means of a dust collection hood installed opposite to or within the vicinity of the contamination source.
Most prior art devices do not provide double vacuum dust hoods with one lower vent for dust particles and one higher vent for airborne particles. They also lack a combination of other features useful in a sanding operation, such as high-power lighting, eye shading for the worker, and sandpaper dispensers.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,410,120, issued Apr. 25, 1995 to Taylor, shows a welding enclosure assembly which includes: a central work chamber; a plurality of horizontally spaced welding work stations within the central work chamber; an exhaust chamber beneath and generally coextensive with the central work chamber; a floor over the exhaust chamber, underlying and substantially coextensive with the central work chamber, and including vents operative to allow air to pass through the floor between the central work chamber and exhaust chamber; an exhaust fan for exhausting air from the exhaust chamber; a blower arranged to establish a positive air pressure in the plenum chamber; and a ceiling over and substantial coextensive with the central work chamber, underlying the plenum chamber, and including air registers operative to pass air downwardly through the ceiling from the plenum into the central work chamber for passage downwardly through the central work chamber and through the floor vents into the exhaust chamber for removal by the exhaust fan. The various parameters of the enclosure assembly are selected to establish a steady substantially laminar downward flow of air over substantially the entire horizontal area of the central work chamber at a velocity sufficient to entrain the welding fumes generated at the plurality of horizontally spaced welding work stations and move the fumes downwardly to the exhaust chamber for exhaust by the exhaust fan.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,082,374, issued Jun. 1, 1937 to Angus, concerns a lighted exhaust ventilating hood for industrial and other purposes.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,749,779, issued May 12, 1998 to Wilburn, describes a movable overhead ventilation assembly and filtering method for use in a work facility to be positioned in close proximity to a source of airborne environmental material. The ventilation assembly includes a supporting frame located within the work facility. The frame includes a longitudinally-disposed overhead track. A movable chassis is carried by the track. A ventilation housing is carried by the chassis for overhead translational movement of the ventilation housing within the work facility. The ventilation housing includes a plurality of walls, and has at least two openings therein defining respective inlet and outlet zones thereof. An exhaust fan is located within the ventilation housing between the inlet zone and the outlet zone for creating an upwardly moving air stream in the area surrounding the source of airborne environmental material. A filtration medium is positioned between the inlet zone and the fan of the ventilation housing for capturing and separating material entrained in the upwardly moving air stream as the air stream enters the ventilation housing through the inlet zone and exits through the outlet zone. A drive wheel moves the chassis along the track within the work facility. Preferably, the ventilation housing further includes first and second light fixtures located on respective sides of the ventilation housing for illuminating the work station. Each light fixture includes a pair of laterally disposed fluorescent bulbs. The required electricity for the light fixtures and exhaust fan may come from any suitable source such as an overhead power supply cord extendable to reach pre-selected electrical outlets located within the work facility.
U.S. Pat. No. 771,507, issued Oct. 4, 1904 to Strong, puts forth an apparatus for drying enameled ware which comprises a fume-collecting hood above each furnace; said hoods each have an exhaust pipe that is connected to a main exhaust duct.
U.S. Pat. No. D136,653, issued Nov. 16, 1943 to Cohen, is for the ornamental design of a combined fume removal hood and lighting fixture.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,926,293, issued May 15, 1990 to Saba, claims a lighting and air freshener fixture for illuminating and for collecting air which is contaminated by a certain substance in the adjacent area of the apparatus. The latter includes a reflector defining an internal cavity in which is mounted a light source. A conduit is mounted to the reflector and communicates with the internal cavity thereof. A blower unit is mounted within the reflector for drawing contaminated air and expelling it through the conduit. Advantageously, a filter element is located within the conduit to remove the contaminant from the air mass passing through the conduit.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,856,419, issued Aug. 15, 1989 to Imai, is for a process and apparatus for collecting a contaminated substance by means of an upwardly directed suction gas flow caused by a dust collection hood, and also includes the provision of a downwardly directed air curtain blown out by means of a forced air blower so as to be parallel to the suction gas flow in a counter-flowing mode as well as annularly surrounding the upwardly directed suction gas flow and the contamination source. By providing the counter-flowing air flows with predetermined relative volume flow rates and velocity flow rates, diffusion of the contaminated substances exteriorly of the downwardly directed annular air flow curtain is effectively prevented.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,475,534, issued Oct. 9, 1984 to Moriarty, provides an energy-saving ventilating system for a restaurant kitchen stove, which provides a first air stream flowing upwardly from a location adjacent the rear edge of the cooking surface, a second air stream discharged into the space in front of the stove where the cook stands and flowing rearwardly above the cooking surface, and a third air stream discharged downwardly from an outlet above the front portion of the cooking surface so as to squeeze the second air stream as the latter flows over the front edge of the cooking surface, causing the second air stream to flow faster in that area, the third air stream acting as an invisible baffle to reduce induction of conditioned air from the kitchen into the space above the cooking surface. The upper wall of the front conduit is located at a height which permits it to be used conveniently as a plate shelf.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,279,681, issued Oct. 18, 1966 to Bandlow, indicates a variable blower which is adapted for incorporation in a barbeque or cooking hood. The blower has a high capacity for exhausting fumes associated with a barbeque. A lamp is also provided for illuminating the cooking area.
What is needed is a double vent dust hood with one lower vent for dust particles and one higher vent for airborne particles as well as a combination of other features useful in a sanding operation, including high-power lighting directly on the work surface with eye shading for the worker, and sandpaper dispensers.
An object of the present invention is to provide a double vent dust hood with one lower vent for dust particles and one upper vent for airborne particles as well as a combination of other features useful in a sanding operation, including high-power lighting directly on the work surface with a shelf for eye shading for the worker, and sandpaper dispensers and a storage surface on the shelf.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a bottom shelf with a lip which attaches to the edge of a sanding bench with the lower vent just above that lower shelf for maximum intake of particulates from the sanding operation.
In brief, a sanding hood tapers upwardly from a broad base which has a bottom vent for above a bottom shelf along the length of the hood. The bottom shelf is attached by screws to an edge of a sanding bench with the shelf aligned with the top of the bench. A series of halogen lights attach above the bottom vent to shine on the bench. An upper shelf above the lights shields the worker's eyes from the lights. The upper shelf has sandpaper dispenser rolls and a flat top for storage.
An advantage of the present invention is that it collects the particulates from sanding as well as the airborne dust.
Another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a series of bright work lights/inspection lights shining on the sanding bench and shielded by an upper shelf from direct viewing by a worker at the sanding bench.
An additional advantage of the present invention is that it provides a number of sandpaper dispensing rolls for use by a worker at the sanding bench as well as storage space easily accessible to a worker at the sanding bench.
One more advantage of the present invention is that the bottom shelf attaches to the edge of the sanding bench so that all the particulates are picked up by the vent.
These and other details of my invention will be described in connection with the accompanying drawings, which are furnished only by way of illustration and not in limitation of the invention, and in which drawings:
The sanding assembly comprises a hood structure 21 comprising a rigid shell with a hollow interior tapering from a broad lower portion adapted to be aligned with a sanding table 40 to a narrow top portion communicating with an exhaust outlet 28 and a means, such as an exhaust fan and filtered dust collection system, to draw air and particulates from the exhaust outlet and the hollow interior.
A lower shelf 22A extends from the bottom of the hood assembly and has a downwardly extending lip 18 which may be screwed through holes 19 to an edge of a sanding table 40 with the lower shelf 22A aligned with the top of the sanding table. A first vent opening 25A extends across the entire bottom portion along the lower shelf 22A in communication with the hollow interior. The first vent opening 25A is adapted to intake particulates produced by a sanding operation on the sanding table 40 adjacent to the first vent opening.
A series of lights 23, preferably bright halogen lights, is mounted across the bottom portion of the hood assembly above the first vent opening 25A. The series of lights is adapted to illuminate a sanding operation on the sanding table 40 adjacent to the sanding hood assembly.
An upper shelf 22B protrudes from the hood assembly extending over the series of lights 23, the upper shelf 22B adapted for shielding light from the series of lights 23 from shining directly into eyes of workers performing sanding operations on the sanding table 40 adjacent to the sanding hood assembly. A second vent opening 25B extends across the front edge of the upper shelf communicating with the hollow interior to intake airborne dust produced by a sanding operation on the sanding table 40 adjacent to the sanding hood assembly.
An upwardly extending lip 17 on the upper shelf 22B above the second vent opening 25B preferably has three sandpaper dispenser rolls 24 rotatably attached thereon. The upper shelf 22B has a flat horizontal upper surface 16 adapted to receive articles stored on the upper shelf within reach of a worker performing sanding operations adjacent to the sanding hood assembly.
It is understood that the preceding description is given merely by way of illustration and not in limitation of the invention and that various modifications may be made thereto without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.

Characterization of the Diffusion of Polyethylene Glycol in Streptococcus mutans Biofilms by Raman Microspectroscopy
Abstract:We used Raman microspectroscopy to investigate in situ the spatial distribution of the biomass in Streptococcus mutans biofilms. We used the CH stretching band to probe the organic matter and the area of the OH stretching band as an internal intensity standard, the biofilms being highly hydrated. The size of the biofilm regions that were mapped was 300 × 300 μm. We also recorded, in the confocal mode, the z profiles describing the biomass distribution as a function of depth in the biofilms. In our growth conditions, the biofilm is described as an ~75 μm thick mat completely covering the surface and includes columnar clusters with a diameter of ~100μm surrounded by voids filled with water. Raman mapping was also used to examine the diffusion of HOD and polyethylene glycol with a molar mass of 10 000 (PEG-10k) in the biofilms. This study establishes that HOD can diffuse practically everywhere in the biofilms but that the penetration of PEG-10k is limited. There is a correlation between the restricted penetration of the macromolecule and the biomass content in the different regions of the biofilms. The method presented here provides a convenient approach to determine the diffusion of molecules, including antibacterials, in bacterial biofilms.

The front desk staff is clearly happy with their line of work, eager to be helpful, and always greet all the customers with a smile. The rooms are super clean and comfortably appointed with modern furniures. Pets are welcomes with an open arm, which is always a must with all dog owners. Breakfast service is fantastic, featuring HI Express signature cinnamon roll. Wifi easy to connect and dependable. Overall, an excellent value for your dollar. Only "adverse" comment: The two bed "suite" is not quite a "suite" in the conventional sense; in most Holiday Inns, it would perhaps be more accurately termed as a 2 beds with a couch sitting area.

Harvard 4, Brown 0
Cabe tossed a complete game shut out as the Crimson won the nightcap of the first doubleheader of the weekend against Brown. The win gave Crimson a Saturday sweep, its first of the Ivy League season.
Gusse belted a triple in the bottom of the third to put the Crimson in front two runs and Ricciardone, helping out on the offense end instead of on the mound, tacked on another run with an RBI single to push Gusse across the plate.
Cabe struck out ten and only walked one in a dominant performance. It was her fifth win of the season and fourth complete game.
Harvard 4, Brown 1
Harvard jumped out to an early lead to give Ricciardone a lead that she never relinquished, pitching a one-run complete game for her 10th win of the season.
In its first offensive frame of the weekend, the Crimson posted five singles to drive in three runs, one with the help of an illegal pitch from Brown's Leah Nakashima and one from Lange, who is second in the Ivy League with 24 on the season.
The next frame, captain Shelbi Olson added a run on a fielder's choice to augment the Crimson advantage.
In the bottom of the sixth, with Brown threating to score another run, Ricciardone struck out Brown's Kelsey Williams. The junior Harvard pitcher allowed only three runners to reach scoring position.
Ricciardone labored, throwing 135 pitches, but exercised control, limiting the Bears to four hits and striking out six. The win put her at 10 on the season and stands second in the Ivy League in both wins and ERA.

Christie's Auction Features Rare Cubans, Recent Cigars
David Savona
Posted: October 8, 2008
Cigars made decades ago and many rolled in recent years will go up for auction at Christie's King Street location in London on October 16. The sale, which is bundled with a much larger auction of vintage wines, consists of 94 lots of cigars.
Ten lots contain Cuban Davidoff cigars, which haven't been made since 1991. They include several Davidoff No. 1 cigars, which are lanceros measuring 7 1/2 inches by 38 ring gauge.
Havana Dunhills are among the most collectible cigars in the world and also no longer rolled. A box of five Dunhill Havana Club cigars from the mid-1980s is the only Dunhill lot at this auction.
Among the cigars rolled before the Cuban revolution includes a box of 100 Romeo y Julieta Selección de Luxes in a wooden presentation case containing four sizes: petit corona, corona and two types of perfectos.
For more details of the cigars up for auction, see Tuesday's Cigar Insider.

Albuquerque police start recruit plan amid probe
The department is replacing roughly 80 officers with new graduates and military veterans
By PoliceOne Staff
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Albuquerque Police Department has launched a multimedia recruiting campaign amid a federal probe of the department's tactics after several alleged cases of excessive force.
The campaign for new officers is aimed at recent college graduates and returning veterans, according to AlamoGordo Daily News.
Using social media, television commercials, and billboards, the department aims to replace the shortage of about 80 officers, as there are also a large number of expected retirements.
More than 100 candidates have applied to take the first-round test, according to the article.
Mayor Richard Berry and Police Chief Raymond Schultz announced an initiative that will give each cadet a $5K bonus for completing the academy and $500 for city employee referrals.
As a result of the probe, several policy reforms have been put in place, such as requiring more college credit or military service, and wearing lapel cameras.
