Best quality PVC ball valves
By Tom the rainwater guy
from Blanco County, TX
I needed some more 2" ball valves to expand our rainwater collection system and the big box store valves are cheaply made with handles that can break if you're not careful with them. These Matco Norca valves are superior in every way and I was very glad to find them online at PexSupply.com for a good price. Wonderful--I will buy again!
best price, works great

Comments about 3" 770 PVC Ball Valve - Threaded Ends:
I put this ball valve on a 1000 gallon water tank and it works great, was the best price i could find anywhere.
3" 770 PVC Ball Valve
By Brent
from Ohio
The 3" 770 PVC Ball valve is a good choice of a component for my project (moving warm air) both valves came packaged in one box and were clean upon opening. This valve takes great force to break it from its current position but once moving it is easy to turn the valve to the other direction.

What is Natural Capital? These are the lands, waters, organisms, and processes that provide us with goods and services imperative for survival and well being. Many businesses and organizations are realizing this trend and have started identifying and quantifying natural capital, ecosystem goods and services while providing rationale for effective natural resources management. Read on to find out which companies are incorporating these Ecosystem Services into their business plans.
Sustainability means meeting today's needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments developed a regional sustainability plan and videos. The videos are intended to engage and educate groups and individuals within the Pikes Peak region about sustainability. Learn more about the plan and view the video from the link below.
The Colorado chapter of the American Public Works Association (APWA) has named the recently completed Milton E. Proby Parkway as "Project of the Year." The project turned a two mile, two lane road into a four lane divided Parkway, with three bridges added to ease traffic movements through a major intersection in the City. Find out more about this project, including its "green" features below.
Have you noticed that it is a little easier travelling up and down Nevada Avenue lately? Crews have completed new medians that will help with traffic flow, beautification, and will also serve as test plots for two different low-water seed mixtures. The project also includes the use of a more disease and insect resistant Hybrid Elm. Find out more about these improvements and what is happening next with these new medians by clicking the link below.
The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant is ending. This grant funded many projects for our team, and there was a small portion of the funds remaining. We have used those funds to partner with the Parking Enterprise to purchase LED streetlights to replace conventional lamps in the Downtown. These lights will start at Acacia Park and Tejon. These lights use a fraction of the electricity of conventional fixtures, and they last much longer. The light is much better for the safety of citizens and security of businesses. A bright idea all around!
Got trees? Colorado Springs does! Now thanks to i-tree Streets, a software program provided by United States Forest Service that quantifies the environmental, aesthetic and other benefits provided by a municipality's street trees, we are armed with information to support and hopefully fund our urban forest program. Read on to find out the results of the 2012 survey…

OGUNQUIT, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The sounds of hammers and saws busy working away is music to the ears of John Mixon.
"We don't need the government to put us back to work," he stated, as he watched workers installing the home's roof. "We need the people to put us back to work."
Mixon, a Vietnam Veteran, is responsible for developing the modest three-bedroom home set in a wooded subdivision a few miles from downtown, but his approach to this project is different. He is using only materials, from the lumber to the nails and everything in between, that are made in the USA and has hired only veterans to help build the home.
"I think there is a big need to do it," he explained. "I think that after World War II the housing industry lead us out of the Great Depression and a poor economy, and now I think that it is up to us Americans to buy locally and buy American made and put our veterans back to work that have been protecting us."
According to a study done by the Maine Department of Labor, veterans have a higher rate of unemployment in Maine than does the general population.
"These men and women that have protected us and put their life on the line and there is no jobs for them," he said. "I saw a real need not only to employ veterans, but to buy USA made products, and we put the two together and we hope that this catches on and that we are not the only ones to do it."
"I thought it was a great idea," said contractor Travis Rice, who served with the Marines and is a current Army National Guard member. "There is really nobody out there trying to do anything like that right now, so it is good to keep veterans working, keep everyone with their skills, all in the same network."
Mixon says it has been harder to find skilled veterans to work on the project than it has been to find US made materials.
Travis Rice thinks he knows why.
"There are some guys that some of their stuff doesn't cross over and they don't get the actual training," he explained about some of the men and women he served with. "So it is a good thing to have something like this around for people to end up getting career opportunities with."
"We were surprised at how much stuff on the shelves wasn't USA made," added Mixon. "It took a little bit more of an effort to find the USA made stuff, but it is going to be worth it, particularly if this gets repeated."
Mixon says the costs were comparable between US made goods and imported products, so he doesn't expect the overall cost of the project to be much more than if he had just used the products that were stocked on store shelves and readily available. He says the retailers he worked with were happy to order US made products, and explained to him that most consumers are concerned with the price, rather than where it was made.
He already has plans ready to go before the town's planning board that would build eight more homes the same way. He hopes his experiment will encourage others to follow suit.
"We want to use this as kind of a test case, put our team together, find our materials, and move on to bigger projects," he said. "There will be a definite pride in ownership, when you are living in a house that was built by military veterans and all USA made products."
He hopes his projects, and others like it, will help stimulate the economy and put people back to work both locally, and at manufacturers across the country.

Please make more in pale rose
Please please make more in pale rose or powder rose necause I couldn't buy mine it was sold out very quickly
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, make more in pInk, my husband purchased for me the pool blue and It's gorgeous but the pink color was sold out.
Lovely jacket
I ordered this in petite large and it fits perfectly. The sleeves are 24" and just a tad longer than I would prefer but still wearable. It was not unduly wrinkled when it arrived. I ordered it in milk chocolate and it is a very nice rich looking brown.This is a feminine style leather jacket and not mannish looking at all. I would recommend to a friend.
Stockton, CA
Great Jacket
The jacket is really good. However, the packaging leaves a lot to be desired. The jacket came crumpled in a soft pak, so the jacket now has wrinkles that do not hang out easily. Chadwicks --- PLEASE UPDATE YOUR PACKAGING.
S Armijos
San Jose, CA
Nice Jacket
I ordered the jacket based on the reviews. I have not been disappointed. The fit was great. I ordered a petite anticipating the correct sleeve length for me. The length was perfect. The color is a nice dark brown. While there were some wrinkles I hung the jacket up and I know over time an with wear the winkles will disappear. I anticipate many years of wear from the jacket.
T Holbert
Great jacket
Ordered the turqouise jacket and it looks and fits great.
Clintn, Maine
Beauty and Quality
Purchased in the French Pink Color in a size 8. It fit true to size. The color is a pale pink, which i personally like. It feels very soft and the leather is of good quality. Thinking of purchasing the Pool Blue and hoping it is a light blue color. Would recommend. The pink color sold quickly as it is a hard color to come by.
Hesperia, CA
Just great
Bought the red one, looks and feels like real leather. The fit is correct and I will get years of wear out of the jacket. More color sections would be nice.
Busby MT
Love this jacket
The fit was wonderful, I ordered Tall and the sleeves are perfect!
Camp Hill, PA
Leather jacket
The petite size 8 was too long in the sleeves and the leather was stiff and fake-looking. Unfortunately, I had to return it.
Austin TX
Love the pink
Love my pink blazer, sleeves a little too long however. I get compliments on it every time I wear it.
Rio Vista, Calif
black leather jacket
I bought the black jacket and wore it couple times, notice the buttons were lose and not to mention that its peeling. I call customer services for exchange but was told it's over 90 days. I'm disappointed in this purchase. Within the 90 days I only wore twice.
Gallup, NM
very nice
Very nice looking, fits well and well made. I would definitely recommend this to others.
Lots of Compliments
Great jacket! I bought the first one in red. Awesome color and get lots of compliments on it. Bought the same in camel and fits great. Then recently got the black. Wear them all the time. Good quality and well made.
Fairfax VA
Nice Shade of Red
Perfect shade to match the boots I plan to wear for Western night in a few weeks. It's a deeper shade of red that looks better with fair skin than the orange/red. I purchased the 10p, I am usually an 8/10p, but prefer my jackets a little larger. Sleeve length is good.
Ms. M
Ridgewood, NJ
Love It!!
Love it.... Wanted something pink and this blazer is Perfect.... There were quite a few wrinkles... Exceptionally happy with the length of the sleeves!
Montross Va
Take Two
I bought this jacket in pink and aqua colors, both very pretty shades, in size 14P. They came in an overstuffed plastic bag with a total of three jackets. There were a few wrinkles, but not bad. I know some sellers package such jackets on a hanger and send flat in a box, but I have found the wrinkles even in that packaging can be unacceptable due to previous handling. I do not like the cheap looking buttons and may replace them later. The torso fit was very good, but the sleeves were about four inches too long, so I had to pay the tailor $30 each to shorten them. I asked if she could tell whether they were plastic or leather. She took a big sniff and said it was leather but extremely thin. I will be careful not to tear it. If Chadwick's offers the jackets again next fall, I may buy more colors...black, brown, saddle. They are sold out now. I would prefer to buy jackets made in the U.S.A.
Leather Blazer
I would give it a five. The quality is great and it fit perfectly! I am very pleased.
Phila. Pa.
Push Spring
Great fit, beautiful Robin's Egg Blue, and a terrific way to push spring.
Yeadon, PA
Black leather blazer
Great fit and quality. Excellent value
Brandon FL
black leather blazer
Gave it a 5, it fits perfectly. So glad I decided to try Chadwick's for one.Thank You. The price is what I also loved!!
Marshall, WI
I love that blazer. Would've have given 5 stars without the wrinkles. Hopelully they will go away after hanging for a while. So glad i ordered one size larger for a perfect fit.I am ordering a second in another color.
Stone Mountain, GA
simply perfect
I like the blazer, my size is 10 and it fit perfect. Simply amazing.
Miami, Fl
Red blazer
I am glad that I ordered a much larger size than I normally wear (12-14) because the 16 is a good fit. I like the blazer but like other people that have made comments, the blazer was very wrinkled. It was stuffed into an envelope and the post office folded it in half to get it into the mailbox. I would rather pay extra for postage and get a better looking product. I am sure that nothing will change with Chadwick's process but hopefully this will be a heads up for others.
Shawnee, Oklahoma
ordering one more
ordered this in red, about to order the saddle, have received many compliments. it's great!
s a tx
I purchased this blazer in both the Black and the Saddle. I just love them. Have been watching for Chadwicks to carry it in a nice medium Gray.
Redding, CA
Not your Christmas/Valentine Red
I have this jacket in black and love it. I had my grandmother to order me the red one for Christmas and to my surprise it is by far not red. It is more of a burgundy color. So, if you are looking for the Christmas/Valentine red, don't get this one. If it wouldn't cost me to return it I would return this because I already have a burgundy leather jacket.
Dallas, TX
Sad customer
Well, we finally gave up on getting the wrinkles out of the original blazer and returned it in exchange for another one. Definitely the second one was somewhat better and after an hour of pressing and massaging out the wrinkles it is wearable. However, I wore it about two hours and came home missing two of the three buttons!!! Sure wish Chadwicks could get it all together as they could have a really nice item in this jacket.....as it is, it is one expensive jacket as I will now have to hire a seamstress to try to match the buttons and sew them on securely.
Poulsbo, WA
Happy Customer
Real nice "leather blazer". I ordered the black like five years ago. Nice texture, nice fit. I am considering another color.
Baton Rouge, La
petite sizing off
I ordered the saddle. It is darker than appears on-line. My usual petite size was snug in the bodice, and the sleeves were way too long. Added to that, it STUNK. I have a wardrobe of 25 leather blazers, I can deal with wrinkles, but never had such an odor problem.
Black leather jacket
Love the jacket. Fits well, comfortable & stylish. Don't put a nametag on it! I made that mistake and some of the leather finish flaked off.
Chattanooga TN
Saddle blazer
I am so upset with this jacket. It is beautiful in color, fit and style but unwearable because of the poor packaging for shipment. It is so wrinkled and has button imprints on the lapel and two areas of the front. I went online and watched u-tube for how to get the wrinkles out but nothing works. I have tried hanging it in the shower area for the last week, we have tried to stretch the wrinkles out and I have ironed it several times through the brown paper bag....anyone know of anything I've missed? If I have to take it to a professional the price is too high and they won't guarantee they can get the wrinkles and impressions out.
red leather
Love the jacket. Color is very nice. They need to package this item better. Too many wrinkles even after letting it hang for a week. If I can't get the wrinkles out it will be unwearable
Bradenton, FL
Jacket is good fit and nice, but packaged for delivery so poorly that I don't know if I will ever get the wrinkles out.
Cleburne, tX
Saddle Is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Boy this blazer sizing is on right on. The fit of this blazer is AMAZING! Fits true to size.....color is just beautiful.....sleeve length is long & hits at the right spot. Quality leather that looks & feels GOOD!I am loving this blazer...love how it looks with a sweater & denim jeans.I may need the brown one next..... Thanks, Chadwicks!
New Jersey
My favorite Jacket
I have this jacket in almost every color and its just the BEST. I only WISH that you would bring back the OLIVE GREEN. I need that in a size larger than the last one I bought a few years back.
Charlotte, NC
Very Nice!
I purchased this blazer in red and black and it's beautiful! The fit is true to size and the leather is soft. Can't beat the price and it's a nice blazer. I'm hate expensive faux leather...ugh and jumped on this immediately!
Kansas City
Watch the buttons
Love the jacket! But, 2nd time I wore it two buttons almost came off. Had to pay to have them secured. But still a great deal!
Sugar Hill, GA
So many compliments
I love this jacket, I have red, brown and saddle now. They are perfect for the office, dinner or that quick on the go trip anywhere. I love the softness, fit and smell. I would recommend them to everyone that likes leather. I use them all year round!
Manchester, NJ
Good value
This is a very nice classic blazer and a good value. The dark brown is a rich deep color. I bought true to size, and it fits well. I will be able to wear a sweater under it without it being too tight. The weight of the leather is nice; not too heavy or too thin. The leather is soft and supple which allows for ease of arm movement. I wish the sleeves weren't vented, but I still like the blazer and will enjoy wearing it this fall and winter.
Louisville, KY
Looks good, fits good, smells good
It's a great jacket. Not the best I've seen, but it is nice. And it smells so good. I got dk brown in a 1X and is roomy. Fits about the way other 1X would fit me. I made 3 vests to go with it. (hint:I used prequilted fabric and it looks so good with the leather. I also made 1 suede vest, that looks good too. All in all i am satisfied with my purchase. Which I consider a good price. So... fits good, smells good, and looks good. That sums it up.
Georgetown, In
A Great Find
I purchased the black size 10 petite, the leather has a great feel, fit is perfect, can't wait to wear it.

|ARHS Asks for Voluntary Visit Restraint for Flu
|Written by ARHS Release
|Wednesday, 16 January 2013 11:48
Appalachian Regional Healthcare System (ARHS) asks that anyone sick with the flu or flu-like symptoms voluntarily refrain from visiting hospitalized family and friends, as well as those persons at the hospital for an outpatient procedure. It is also important that during this time of increased flu
cases in our area visitors 12 and under not visit hospitalized family and friends.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, flu activity is on the rise in the U.S. with 47 states reporting widespread illness. North Carolina is one of these states. Appalachian Regional Healthcare System's hospital emergency rooms, along with the physician offices and AppUrgent Care, have seen an increase in the number of people presenting with influenza-like illness. While everyone who presents is not tested for the flu, among those tested in the System's facilities, more than 140 have tested positive since November 2012. Watauga Medical Center has admitted 17 patients due to the flu. "Patients are very vulnerable while in the hospital, so we are appealing to those community members who may be ill with the flu, or exposed to the flu, to refrain from visiting in order to help us protect the patients in our facilities," stated Dr. Herman Godwin, Chief Medical Officer for Appalachian Regional Healthcare System. "Our top priority is to take every appropriate precaution to keep our patients safe."
Flu viruses spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing. Sometimes an individual may catch flu by touching an object infected with the virus and then touching the eyes, mouth, or nose. There are several things you can do to prevent catching or spreading the flu: Protect yourself, your family and your community.

Golf in South Africa
Golf courses for all abilities
South Africa is well known for its outstanding golf courses at Sun City, along the Garden Route (in particular at Fancourt) and Port Elizabeth.
The most popular routes with golfers usually include a couple of rounds at one of these famous and iconic courses, however their are countless of other gems to be discovered in less well-known places.
Away from the golf course, South Africa has more to offer than just about any other destination. From the beautiful city of Cape Town with its stunning setting, great beaches and countless attractions right the way up to the world famous safari experiences of the Kruger National Park, there is so much to do in addition to the golf that most visitors feel that 2 weeks is really the minimum length of trip to try and squeeze as much as possible in.Whilst many golfers prefer to travel with their own clubs, the majority of courses are happy to rent out equipment meaning that if you are just looking to include a couple of rounds their is no need to bring your own clubs if you don't want the expense and hassle of taking them around everywhere else with you.

Loved this quilt the moment I saw it, and came up with an excuse to make it right away! Since my new year's resolution is to use up my stash, I ended up cutting my pieces out of a 15-fat quarter pack I had on hand. Worked great! Anyway, do you have any tips for easily making sure that the squares line up again when you insert the sashing in the squares?ReplyDelete
Hi:) I am new to quilting and found you while looking for good ideas with easy instructions. I love this quilt and am excited to give it a try.ReplyDelete
I am sitting here at my computer with my mouth wide open totally in awe at all the quilts and blocks that you do. I cannot imagine how you get this done. The only explanation is that you don't sleep. I do have a question to ask you. I just started a blog and I'm amazed at how complicated such a simple thing is. I keep having to upload new software just to do a small task, although nothing seems simple. Is there a book, article, etc. that you could recommend that would help me. I need help with quilting too but only time will give me that and I'm 20 years older than you and a beginner quilter but I love it and try to do it every spare minute. Any advice you could offer a new blogger and a new quilter would be appreciated. Thank you.ReplyDelete
Minna aka charlotteandbutterball.blogspot.com
What a fun design using layer cakes! I loved the Wonderland collection! I'd like to share a link to your tutorial on sewwhattoday.blogspot.com, on February 15!ReplyDelete
Wow. i love it. I am definitely going to put it on my list of patterns I have to make. Fabulous!ReplyDelete
Great job!ReplyDelete
Hey, I gave you a shout out on my blog today, check it out!
John - very cool! I love the colors!ReplyDelete

East Peoria, IL -- The Beloit College Softball team dropped a pair of games on day two of the Midwest Conference Softball Classic on Saturday, falling to Cornell College 1-0 in eight innings and 5-0 to Knox College.
Against Knox, the Prairie Fire scored unearned runs in the third and fifth innings and then added three tallies in the seventh to ice it. The Bucs, who finished with six hits, had their biggest threat of the game in the bottom of the seventh inning, loading the bases with two outs, including singles by Jordyn Ciochon and Tara Grode, before KC got the final out for the win.
In the opener vs. Cornell, the Buccaneers had the bases loaded in the fifth on an Emily Dorjath walk and bunt singles from McKayla Martin and Ashleigh Gasparola with one out but couldn't get a run in. Cornell won the game in the eighth with an unearned run on an error, a passed ball, a strikeout and a double to right. Jen Zucker struck out 11 in the game.
Beloit finishes up the Classic on Sunday with games against Lake Forest College at 10:00 a.m. and Grinnell College at 2:00 p.m.

Imagine Ogdensburg just 15 years from now in 2027.
Ogdensburg Public Library, 312 Washington St., is asking the citys youth to do just that, but to utilize their budding artistic talents to do so.
The library is sponsoring the art contest for teenagers ages 13 to 19. Creations of any medium including drawings, paintings and film, with no inappropriate content such as nudity and obscenities must be dropped off at the library by Dec. 1.
Library Director Wayne L. Miller explained the inspiration for this art show with a futuristic twist.
The art show is the brainchild of our student page, Hannah Lamere, and part-time clerk/teen programmer Melanie Brown, he said. The theme was based upon a suggestion I made. It came from a grant I wrote four years ago that was not funded to create a place where teens could participate in the communitys economic redevelopment efforts.
The theme is actually a reflection of every small, close-knit communitys fear that its young people leave him and go out into the world, never to return.
So the age range of the would-be artists, Mr. Miller noted, is really no surprise.
The concept was to empower our kids as a reverse the brain drain, he said. They go off to college and few are able and willing to return. We want them to have a stake in building an Ogdensburg of the future. If that is a place with which they identify, a place where they can prosper, they will lift the community along with themselves and their families.
The contest, Mr. Miller added, asks teens to envision Ogdensburg 15 years from now when they will be 25 to 35 years old.
And help them stay home.
Thats the age when young professionals are establishing their permanent residences, building businesses, starting families, he said. The newly proposed redevelopment plan covering much of the riverfront and city core has projects that, if realized, could well take that long to occur.
The contest will recognize winners of Peoples Choice and Best of Show awards with a $25 gift card from Brewer Bookstore at St. Lawrence University, Canton.
Digital pictures of each entry will be posted to the librarys Teen Program Facebook page.
For more information call Ms. Brown at the library at 393-4325.

(bisons.com)-The Bisons bats had pounded out 51 hits, leading to 29 runs in the first four games of the year. But at a wet Coca-Cola Field, Chiefs' starter Danny Rosenbaum and the Syracuse bullpen shut down the red-hot Bisons' offense, cruising to an 8-1 victory.
"You're not going to be able to do it every night and we have to go up there and compete and battle," third baseman Mike McCoy said. "...Sometimes you run up against a pitcher that's doing his thing and silences the bats."
The rain delayed the start of the game by an hour-and-a-half and the Chiefs (4-1) wasted little more time once play began. They jumped on Herd starter Casey Lawrence in the top of the first and that proved to be enough.Syracuse scored four runs on just as many hits, while receiving some aid in the form of two Buffalo errors.
"It was a difficult day," manager Marty Brown said. "Weather wise. It felt like it was a spring training game. There are no excuses for that, but you still have to go out and play baseball."
It was Lawrence's Triple-A debut after being promoted from Single-A Dunedin. He scattered 10 hits over four innings, allowing five earned runs and striking out three. Though not an ideal start to Lawrence's Triple-A career, Brown noted his starter settled down after the first and made some good pitches.
"He was looking forward to it," Brown said. "I think he felt good about going into the outing and it's unfortunate things turned out the way they did because he pitched better than what the numbers showed."
The Bisons (3-2) did manage eight hits, but seven of them were singles and they struggled to knock in runners when they did reach scoring position.
"It's guys trying to do too much, trying to hit a five-run home run and it got away from our plan," Brown said.
McCoy led the Bisons' offense from the leadoff spot, going two-for-five with the lone RBI for the Herd. Second baseman Eugenio Velez also had a two-hit game.
Rosenbaum allowed just four hits over five innings while striking out two before leaving the game in the bullpen's hand.
The Bisons host Syracuse Tuesday night with the first pitch scheduled for 6-pm.

|WHS Swimmers Produce Two State Qualifiers
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Sunday, 06 February 2011 13:39
The Watauga High swimming team produced a pair of state qualifiers Saturday at the Class 4A Western Regional in Huntersville, NC.Darby Middlebrook, who won the Class 4A state title in cross country last fall---setting a state record at the meet as well, continued her successful ways by finishing sixth in the 100 breast stroke and qualified for the state meet next Friday in Cary. She completed the course in 1:10.47. WHS also qualified its 400-free style relay team.
That group finished ninth, thanks to Providence being disqualified for getting an early jump in the race. With the DQ, WHS moved up a spot to eighth place and qualified for state. That relay team is made up Darby Middlebrook, Hailey Middlebrook, Doria Kosmala and Ingrid Forsyth.
"Our kids went up against a very strong regional field," WHS coach David Gragg said. "But we came out of it with a pair of state qualifiers. We've didn't have any state qualifiers the last two years, so getting Darby and one of our relay teams through in a field this strong is a huge achievement for our program."
The Pioneers had not produced a state qualifier since 2008. And, ironically, Darby Middlebrook will be pulling double duty next weekend. She'll compete at the state swimming meet on Friday, and she will compete at the state indoor track meet Saturday in Fayetteville.
"Darby is just a great athlete," Gragg said. "I feel very confident in her chances on Friday. She has a chance to at least make the consolation round and finish in the top 16. But with her drive, you never know."
The state swimming meet will be held Friday at the Triangle Acquatic Center in Cary, NC. Preliminaries begin at 9 am; the finals begin at 4 pm. The Providence men and women made it a clean sweep by winning both regional titles.

Publisher Comments:
Ree Dolly's father has skipped bail on charges that he ran a crystal meth lab, and the Dollys will lose their house if he doesn't show up for his next court date. With two young brothers depending on her, 16-year-old Ree knows she has to bring her father back, dead or alive. Living in the harsh poverty of the Ozarks, Ree learns quickly that asking questions of the rough Dolly clan can be a fatal mistake. But, as an unsettling revelation lurks, Ree discovers unforeseen depths in herself and in a family network that protects its own at any cost.
"Woodrell flirts with — but doesn't succumb to — cliché in his eighth novel, a luminescent portrait of the poor and desperate South that drafts 16-year-old Ree Dolly, blessed with "abrupt green eyes," as its unlikely heroine. Ree, too young to escape the Ozarks by joining the army, cares for her two younger brothers and mentally ill mother after her methamphetamine-cooking father, Jessup, disappears. Recently arrested on drug charges, Jessup bonded out of jail by using the family home as collateral, but with a court date set in one week's time and Jessup nowhere to be found, Ree has to find him — dead or alive — or the house will be repossessed. At its best, the novel captures the near-religious criminal mania pervasive in rural communities steeped in drug culture. Woodrell's prose, lyrical as often as dialogic, creates an unwieldy but alluring narrative that allows him to draw moments of unexpected tenderness from predictable scripts: from Ree's fearsome, criminal uncle Teardrop, Ree discovers the unshakable strength of family loyalty; from her friend Gail and her woefully dependent siblings, Ree learns that a faith in kinship can blossom in the face of a bleak and flawed existence. (Aug.)" Publishers Weekly Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
"Woodrell's captivatingly resourceful protagonist both enchants and horrifies.... [Winter's Bone] exposes the tragedy of crystal meth in rural America in all its brutal ugliness in language that is both razor sharp and grimly gorgeous. Highly recommended." Library Journal
"In spare but evocative prose, Woodrell depicts a harsh world in which the responsibilities for survival ultimately give Ree meaning and direction.... A compelling testament to how people survive in the worst of circumstances." School Library Journal
"The truth both endangers Ree's life and sets her free, in a coiled-spring narrative whose precisely honed prose vibrates with arresting descriptive phrases...and unsparing doom-laden pronouncements.... And the unforgettable Ree is a heroine like no other." Kirkus Reviews
About the Author
Daniel Woodrell lives in the Missouri Ozarks near the Arkansas state line. His five most recent novels were selected as New York Times Notable Books of the Year, and Tomato Red won the PEN West Award for the Novel. Two novels have been adapted as major motion pictures: Woe to Live On, filmed in 1999 by Ang Lee as Ride with the Devil, starring Tobey Maguire and Skeet Ulrich, and Winter's Bone, a 2010 film accepted to the U.S. Dramatic Competition category at Sundance.

Grimes official music video for Oblivion. Oblivion is a song performed by Grimes. Grimes, aka Claire Boucher, serenades us from the most unlikeliest of places in her new music video for dreamscape tune 'Oblivion'. Directed by friend Emily Kai Bock and cinematographer Evan Profofsky, Boucher appears in the cheap seats as motorbike rallies, American Football matches and cheerleader dramatics unfold behind her in the background. With slow motion graphics of cheerleaders and bikers flying through the air, the avant-garde electro-pop song takes on a dreamy art-house documentary quality. The impromptu nature of the Grimes video gives it an added touch of humour as the adjacent biker fans appear distracted by the ensuing camerawork. Lots of 'woo-hooing' and 'yeah baby-ing' incurs which adds to the videos charm. The male machismo subject matter contrasts with the sweet-as-you-like pink-haired elfin Grimes and the song itself sounds like a cross between a Soft Cell number and Cyndi Lauper of 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' fame. At one random point the cute Boucher is seen in the male locker-room while shirtless men mosh beside her. This is bedroom pop singing-into-your-hairbrush type stuff ad seen through the wide-framed glasses of the Pitchfork era. Oblivion appears on Grimes' album Visions released on 12 March 2012 on the 4AD label, the prolific artist's fourth release in two years. The album draws inspiration from an eclectic range of influences as wide as Enya, TLC and Aphex Twin, whilst also drawing from genres like New Jack Swing, IDM, New Age, K-pop, Industrial and glitch.

CHATEAUGAY – The Salmon River girls varsity basketball team rallied from a two-point halftime deficit and outscored the host Chateaugay 33-22 in the second half to hand the Lady Bulldogs their first loss of the 2012-13 season.
With the 52-43 victory, the Lady Shamrocks move to 8-2 on the season while Chateaugay drops to 4-1.
Salmon Rivers Abby Kelly scored 14 of her game-high 21 points during the second-half rally as Taylor Francis tossed in her second 3-pointer of the contest to help defeat the host Bulldogs.
Francis and Aliyah Cook both added nine-point games to the Shamrock victory while Jaiden Mitchell and Kwiio King chipped in with seven and six points, respectively.
Playing without three players, the lady Bulldogs gave it a solid effort, especially on the defensive end of the floor, according to CCS coach Chris Reynolds.
We played great defense, but senseless turnovers in crucial minutes and then not getting back on defense and giving up uncontested layups proved to be costly, stated the Chateaugay coach.
Only four players found the range to get into the scoring column for CCS (4-1), led by Courtney Boyeas 17 points. Katie Beach followed with 12 points as Makayla Fleury (16 rebounds) and Abby Barnes rounded out the Bulldog scoring with eight and six points, respectively.
Katie Beach gave us some awesome minutes in our starting point guard spot with the absence of Hannah Cook, added Reynolds.

There are books aplenty on magic and its many side paths, but there are only a few of which I can truly say, 'this is unique, this is something you must have on your shelf, this is a book you will turn to again and again.'- Dolores Ashcroft-NowickiAshcroft-Nowicki is right, this is just such a book and it's very refreshing to see. What makes this book on Qabalistic magick so different? No lengthy tables of associations for the Spheres and Paths, no cross-pollination or paradigms, no Christianization; this book is about the Jewish Qabalah, rather than the altered form more popular in Western Magickal Traditions.

Mets up to something, working on acquiring an outfielder
The New York Post's Mike Puma says he's hearing the Mets may soon add a new outfielder.
"It's a name that hasn't been linked to the Mets," he later added.
Puma's colleague, Ken Davidoff, says the front office has been working on something for the outfield.
Davidoff says Mets official wouldn't rule out the idea of acquiring A's center fielder Coco Crisp.
Crisp hit .259 with a .325 OBP, 11 HR and 46 RBI and 39 stolen bases in 2012.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
Crisp does make sense for the Mets. He's only a decent defensive center fielder at this point in his career, but he'd add a nice element to the top of the team's lineup (since he still draws enough walks and he's still pretty quick), which would also allow Ruben Tejada to move back to batting second. I also like that he's on a one-year deal (at $7 million) with a team option for 2014.
The Rays, Indians and Mariners have all asked the A's about the availability of their outfielders this winter.
During the Winter Meetings, Andy Martino of the Daily News said the Mets were talking with teams about acquiring an outfielder by trading some of their pitching prospects, like Darin Gorski. Assuming the market breaks right, I also think there is a chance they sign a free-agent outfielder, like a Cody Ross or Scott Hairston, in addition to trading for a player like Crisp or D'Backs OF Jason Kubel.

Pittsburgh Steelers select OSU's Markus Wheaton
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers have chosen former Oregon State wide receiver Markus Wheaton in the third round of the NFL draft.
The 6-foot-1 Wheaton caught 91 passes for 1,244 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Beavers in 2012. The Steelers are in need of depth at receiver after Mike Wallace left for the Miami Dolphins last month.
Wheaton also gives the Steelers some versatility. He also ran for 631 yards during his collegiate career with an average of 7.3 yards per carry.
The 22-year-old Wheaton will compete with veterans Plaxico Burress and Jerricho Cotchery for a spot behind starters Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders.
Wheaton is the first wide receiver to be taken in the NFL Draft since Sammie Stroughter was taken in the seventh round of the 2009 draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Wheaton's selection marks the 13th consecutive year that an Oregon State alum has been taken in the NFL Draft. Since 2001 Oregon State, Oregon, USC, Cal and ASU are the only Pac-12 teams with at least one NFL Draft selection. It is the first selection of a former Beaver by Pittsburgh since Keenan Lewis went to the Steelers in the third round of the 2009 draft.

Is it time for youtube?
I happened to search for "temporary staffing" on youtube.com and noted that one staffing firm in particular has made very good use of that venue. Frontline Source Group dominates both in terms of number of videos uploaded and in terms of hits.
Their videos are both professional and compelling. You can see a couple of good examples here and here.

What does the Islamic world and Europe have in common? There are actually many similarities, but one is this: In neither place are Christians allowed to fully express their beliefs without fear of persecution.
As for Eurasia, its Ministry of Truth's latest handiwork is the arrest and punishment of an American street preacher who dared speak of sin in that land once known as Scotland. The victim is 47-year-old New Yorker Shawn Holes, who was on a U.K. tour when he was arrested in Glasgow after running afoul of U.K. hate-speech laws. Writes Pink News:
He said that while preaching, a number of gay couples stopped to listen and asked him about his views, which he said seemed like a "set-up."
... When asked about his views on homosexuality, Holes said: "Homosexuals are deserving of the wrath of God — and so are all other sinners — and they are going to a place called hell."
For this Oldspeak transgression, Holes' arrest was followed by the imposition of a £1,000 fine, which is a harsher penalty than even some Britons who commit violent crimes must endure.
I've said much about "hate speech" laws over the years, and I won't rehash the old arguments except to again point out that all hate-crime law is an attempt at thought control. Instead, I'm going to point out another bias relating to this situation and others like it.
At a U.K. blog called Harry's place, writer Peter Tatchell defends Holes, saying, "In a democratic, free society it is wrong to prosecute him. Criminalisation is not appropriate." Yet he also takes pains to polish up his politically correct credentials and writes, "Mr Holes is obviously homophobic and should not be insulting people with his anti-gay tirades. He should be challenged and people should protest against his intolerance." And this attitude is reflected in the title of Tatchell's piece: "Freedom of speech must be defended ... even for homophobes."

A selective bibliography of articles in the various fields of Jewish studies and in the study of Eretz Israel. Material listed in Rambi is compiled from thousands of periodicals and from collections of articles - in Hebrew, Yiddish, and European languages- mainly from the holdings of the Jewish National and University Library, a world center for research on the Jewish people and Eretz Israel. The main criterion for inclusion in the bibliography is that the article be based on scientific research, or contain important information for such research.
An artist's book is a work of art that takes the form of a book. But what does that mean? And what counts as a book, anyway? Is it a bunch of pages that have been bound together, or is there more to it than that?
These are the kinds of questions that artists' books try to answer. They play with both the form and the function of books as objects, encouraging onlookers to question traditional conceptualizations of "books." They are usually handmade, often unique, and all different from one another. Because most artist's books are hand-made and only crafted in small, limited runs, they offer artists a special opportunity to create books that are intensely personal.
All of the books featured in this exhibit are part of Miami University's Walter Havighurst Special Collections. The materials on display reflect a concentrated effort to build a diverse, provocative collection that will challenge students to reconsider their notion of "books" while also paying tribute to the creativity and innovation of book artists across the globe.

In fact, we may have more to fear from spies acting out of patriotic zeal than those acting out of power lust or economic interest: Zealots are more likely to eschew restraints that might compromise their righteous cause.
For the sake of argument, we may assume that from President Obama on down, government officials sincerely believe that gathering Americans' telephone and Internet data is vital to the people's security. Does that make government spying okay?
No, it doesn't.
"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence — it is force. Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action." Although often attributed to George Washington, that famous quotation was probably was not uttered by him. Nevertheless, its value lies in what it says, not in who said it.
At best, government represents a risk to the people it rules. Even under a tightly written constitution and popular vigilance — both of which are easier to imagine than to achieve — government officials will always have the incentive and opportunity to push the limits and loosen the constraints.
But if their purpose is to protect us, why worry?
It doesn't take much imagination to answer to this question. A purported cure can be worse than the disease. Who would accept the placement of a surveillance camera in every home as a way of preventing crime? By the same token, gathering data on everyone without probable cause in order to locate possible terrorists should be abhorrent to people who prize their freedom and privacy.

By KAREN BASSOStaff reporter
Being a child is not always simply a matter of fun and games. In fact, children face many life-threatening dangers on a daily basis that are often times overlooked by adults.
Fortunately, the majority of the dangers encountered by youngsters can be avoided with proper education and safety requirements.
Listed are the top five key dangers that children face. With dedicated parents and concerned adults, children will remain safe despite the risks that face them.
Lack of seat belt and child safety seat use. Motor vehicles are the leading cause of death for school age children.
In 1999, nearly 5,700 children ages five to 18 died in traffic crashes.
On average, 16 children were killed every day. Many of the tragic deaths could have been avoided.
For example, of the children ages five to nine who died in crashes in 1999, 40 percent were completely unbuckled.
Many parents switch their children from safety seats to seat belts at too early an age.
Safety seat use for children from ages one to four is 91 percent. However, restraint use drops to 72 percent for children ages five to 15.
Most children ages five to eight years old are too small to fit in an adult-sized belt. The youngsters should ride in a booster seat.
Busy streets, unsafe motorists. Pedestrian incidents are the second leading cause of accidental death among children ages five to 14.
In 1999, 559 pedestrians ages five to 18 were killed after being struck by a motor vehicle, 109 of those deaths took place during normal school transportation hours in the 1998-1999 school year.
More school-age pedestrians are killed in the late afternoon than in the morning. Most of the deaths in question occurred at non-intersection locations.
Low bicycle helmet use. In 1999, 260 bicyclists ages five to 18 were killed in crashes with motor vehicles. The fatality rate for these young bicyclists was nearly double the rate for all bicyclists.
Most of the bicyclists ages 5 to 18 killed or injured while riding were boys. Children are more likely to die from a bicycle injury between 4 and 8 p.m. (46 percent) than any other time of day.
Head injury is the leading cause of death in bicycle crashes and is the biggest cause of bicycle related permanent disability. More children, ages five to 14 go to hospital emergency rooms for injuries associated with bicycles than with any other sport.
School bus stops. School buses are the safest form of transportation for children.
Nearly 24 million students ride buses to school every day. In fact, getting on or off the bus is more dangerous than the ride itself.
Many injuries occur when children walk into the driver's "blind spot," an area 10 feet around the bus.
Most bus related pedestrian deaths occur in the afternoon. More than 40 percent occur between 3 and 4 p.m. when children are going home.
Fifty percent of school bus related pedestrian fatalities were children between five and seven years old.
School drop-off zones. Normal school transportation hours are the most dangerous time of the school day for children.
In the 1998-1999 school year, 864 children died between the hours of 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The main entrance area of schools is one of the most dangerous transportation zones.
The area combines all of the designated dangers into a compressed time period during school transportation hours, according to state and federal safety officials.
Increased congestion around schools, as people drop off and pick up students, requires extra caution by drivers.
In order to protect children from the related dangers, adults need to take 10 basic steps:
Use the correct child safety seat or seat belt for every child.
Even when transporting children a short distance, never allow anyone, including adult passengers and the driver, to ride unbuckled.
For children weighing between 40 and 80 pounds, use a booster seat with a vehicle safety belt.
Children age 12 and younger should sit in the back seat where it is safest.
Parents often overestimate their children's pedestrian skills.
Children ages 10 and younger should not cross an intersection without supervision. Youngsters are at risk for pedestrian injury because they are exposed to traffic threats that exceed their thinking skills.
Also, children are impulsive and have difficulty judging speed and distance.
Teach children to stop at a curb and look left-right-left for traffic before proceeding.
Make sure children have safe play areas away from traffic such as fenced playgrounds and yards.
Also, teach children to stop, look, and listen for trains before crossing railroad tracks and to never play on or near the tracks.
Always require children to wear a correctly fitted bicycle helmet. And be a role model- wear a bicycle helmet, too.
Make sure that children learn the bicycle "rules of the road" at the same time they learn how to ride a bicycle.
Buy a bike that is the right size, not one that the child has to "grow into."
Make sure children get to the bus stop at least five minutes early.
Teach children to ask the bus driver for help if they drop something near the bus. If a youngster stoops to pick up something outside the bus, the driver cannot see the child.
Teach children to take five giant steps out from the front of the bus before crossing the street.
Work with local police and sheriff's departments to enforce and publicize school bus laws for motorists.
Most states require motorists in both directions to stop when a school bus displays flashing red warning lights and extend the stop signal arm.
Vehicles may not legally pass until the flashing lights are turned off and stop arm is retracted.
Work with education officials to create a safe school drop-off area. Arrange for crossing guards or help organize student safety patrols.
Make crosswalks more visible by adding broad striped lines.
If the school drop-off zone has heavy traffic or a high speed limit, work with local officials to reduce speed limits and post flashing warning signs.
Ask the police to hold high-profile enforcement actions in school zones and to alert the public about the laws and the dangers of driving too fast near schools.
Parents, together with adults throughout the community, can make a difference in a child's life by simply teaching and practicing safety skills around youngsters.
By doing so, many lives will be saved and more children will remain unharmed by common dangers, emphasize state and federal safety officials.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — By 2024, the end of the next president's second term, water shortages and pollution problems will be America's deadliest enemy, worse than Big Oil, killing economic growth, destroying America's future.
The decline is already in progress, GDP is predicted to collapse below 1% in this century.
Can this disastrous trend be stopped? Maybe. Taxpayers cost? $60 trillion, estimates a Scientific American research study. Bad news for a planet where the total GDP of all nations is only $70 trillion.
Reuters reports the researchers calculated the impact of "releasing a 50-gigaton reservoir of methane thawing under the East Siberian Sea permafrost." London's Guardian newspaper called this an "economic time bomb" that could "undermine the global financial system."
Global warming: 'More religion than science?' Or all Big Oil profits?
Political wars will accelerate: Big Oil climate deniers will double down. Ernst & Young researchers estimate "20% of the world's undiscovered but recoverable oil and natural-gas resources" are also under that same methane-laden Arctic. So Big Oil must fight even harder to protect its $150 billion annual profits, making certain not one dime of America's $17 trillion GDP is spent to stop the ticking time bomb.
It may already be too late, said Bill McKibben in Foreign Policy, too late to stop the global warming time bomb. Big Oil keeps electing climate deniers to Congress, like the GOP's Dana Rohrabacher. The Daily Pilot of Orange County, Calif., reports: "He believes global warming is a total fraud."
And a ThinkProgress headline read: "Steve King: Belief in Climate Change is a 'Religion, Not Science'." That "despite the fact that 97% of scientists agree that climate change is real." King is an Iowa Republican, spoke at "an event sponsored by the climate-denying, Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity." The "Koch Empire" is in a costly "mother of all wars" to protect their profits.
Americans in denial ... won't stop till after next global catastrophe
"Sometimes facing up to the truth is just too hard. When the facts are distressing it is easier to reframe or ignore them," writes Australian Professor of Ethics Clive Hamilton in his behavioral-economics classic, "Requiem for a Species: Why We Resist the Truth about Climate Change": "Around the world only a few have truly faced up to the facts about global warming ... It's the same with our own deaths; we all 'accept' that we will die, but it is only when our death is imminent that we confront the true meaning of our mortality."
Yes, we're in denial. But soon the impact of global warming will be too obvious, costly, disastrous to ignore, even for the Koch Brothers and other Big Oil capitalists.
When reality hits their bottom line, they will change. But by then, it will be too late for America, Miami and New York, Nantucket, Malibu, Silicon Valley and all across the world, in Africa, Australia, China, South America, Oceania. For water kills economies and civilizations:
America: Coastal beach towns can't stop falling into the oceans
Last year after Superstorm Sandy, Bloomberg BusinessWeek's cover was clear, "It's Global Warming, Stupid." But America quickly went back to sleep.
Recently, in Vanity Fair's "From Coast to Toast," we learned that "two of America's most golden coastal enclaves are waging the same desperate battle against erosion. With beaches and bluffs in both Malibu and Nantucket disappearing into the ocean, wealthy homeowners are prepared to do almost anything — spend tens of millions on new sand, berms, retaining walls and other measures — to save their precious waterfront properties."
This is a war between rich and rest, "deep-pocketed summer people and local working folks."

Shoe covers are fast. Giordana's EXO Shoecover looks fast, are fast to put on, and are fast in wind tunnels. They're the fastest shoecover Giordana makes. They also are great at their secondary and tertiary functions, an extra layer on cool days and as spats.
What makes these Lycra shoecovers the fastest Giordana makes is a simple fact. There is only one seam. It runs from the toe, under the shoe, to the heel, where it meets up with a zipper that runs the height of the cuff. Between the toe and the zipper, there are two cutouts, one for the cleat, one for the heel.
The Giordana EXO Shoecover has a height of three inches, when measured from the top of the shoe to the top of the cuff. There are four sizes Small through X-Large.

Tight fit so you can go fast!

LOVE Giordana's EXO system offerings top to bottom, and the shoe covers are no exception. They've really designed a phenomenal system for compression gear and super tight means super fast. Surprisingly, the durability has been exceptional as well and the white cleans up quick. Can't ask for too much more.

On Tuesday, we declared this the season of the messy updo. If loosely tousled, seriously textured hair makes you nervous, it's time to invest in an ear cuff.
The now ubiquitous piece of jewelry began its comeback two years ago when Italian jeweler Gaia Repossi launched her Berbere collection. Since then, everyone from Diane Kruger to Rihanna has sported something sparkling along the length of their ear. So what better way to turn that windblown topknot party ready than a serious piece of jewelry? From silver feathers to ladylike pearls, there's something for everyone, above.
