When Apple launched the iPhone 4S there were plenty of bystanders that were disappointed that the latest smartphone was not the elusive iPhone 5. The silver lining is that this prolonged release has given plenty of fodder for the tech gossip mill as we all speculate if the next generation iPhone will be drastically different.
Latest reports note that Apple's upcoming device will be slimmer than the iPhone 4S and iPhone handsets and will also strut some new tech as well. The iPhone 5 may have a quad-mode chipset from Qualcomm that will work on all 4G LTE and 3G networks which has the implication of making this unlocked cell phone device more widely available across mobile carriers.
Giving credence to these details is a BGR exclusive last month that reported Apple's intention to launch a completely redesigned iPhone in the fall. It will have an aluminum case and a rubber or perhaps plastic bezel that will protect and cover a new wrap-around antenna. Possibly more dependable accounts came from Morgan Stanley's analyst, Katy Huberty, who noted that Apple sent a communication to clients last Friday. Those statements assured that Apple's business will continue to grow even with a slowing demand for high-end smartphones. There is no question that the company's strength is in its iTunes, iCloud and other proprietary technologies that marry customers so closely the OS platform.
Included in Huberty's comments was the mention of Apple's next generation tablet, the iPad3 which is slated to launch at some point in the first half of the year. With traditional pricing strategy in play, the iPad2 will be lowered in cost to attract additional customers to the iOS platform and to Apple's strength in the tablet market.
Surely these new smartphone and tablet devices will come with revamped and original peripheral accessories. Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand bags, sleeves and casesspecifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.

RIP Hobie Alter 10/31/33-3/29/14
"With the passing of Hobie Alter a legend is gone, and with it, the man who probably contributed more to the sport of surfing than anyone in history!
His generation is rapidly disappearing. I had the honor of spending time with Hobie and even working with him at one time. I came to regard Hobie as a good friend and also as someone who I considered as one of the true gentlemen of the sport of surfing. I am sure he is on another wave somewhere trying to figure out another way that he could advance the
sport he loved and contributed so much to. His legacy will never be forgotten!" -Don Hansen

Eco-friendly Weed and Moss Control
by Melinda Myers
posted Aug 30 2013 10:19AM
Tired of cutting or pulling weeds and scraping moss out of the cracks in your patio and walkway pavers? Enlist the help of some of the new more eco-friendly products.
Many of the organic weed killers use vinegar, soaps and plant oils to burn the tops off unwanted plants. Once the tops die the weeds can more easily be removed. Repeat applications are needed as new weed seeds sprout and perennial weeds grow new tops from their roots that were not killed by these products.
Similar products are available to manage moss. Just keep in mind that unless you eliminate the cause, which is usually excess shade, the moss will return. If you can't eliminate the cause, you may want to embrace the moss as part of the walkway.
Eco-friendly products are good solutions for those seeking a more eco, pet and child friendly weed control options. As always be sure to read and follow label directions carefully.
A bit more information:
Many gardeners are replacing the sand in between their pavers with new products like EnviroSand and Joint-Lock that resist washout and prevent weeds from sprouting. Evaluate cost and time of installation when deciding if this is the best option for you.

You Didn't Come to My Wedding... Here's Your Bill!
This could be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. A couple in Minnesota was scheduled to attend a wedding, but at the last minute, their babysitter was unable to take care of their kids, so they couldn't go to the wedding. Things happen, right? But a couple of weeks afterward, they got a bill in the mail for just under $80, the cost of the two meals that were ordered and not eaten, plus the service and tax charge. The bill came from the new bride and groom. I wonder if the RSVP fully-disclosed the No-Show Fee? We should check on that, don't you think?

The buddy for this bit - Tom Hanks. Very funny. Check it out.

Top 10 Most Malicious Celebrities
The folks at Intel Security released a list of the top ten most malicious celebrities on the planet this week. The celebrities themselves aren't necessarily malicious. But doing an Internet search for them will more likely than not land you on a link to a website that's malicious - i.e., capable of whacking you with an Internet virus. They rated the celebrities according to the likelihood that you'll end a search for them with a virus. # 10. Actress Nina Dobrev - 13.2% likelihood # 9. Singer Lorde - 13.6% likelihood # 8. Actress Betty White - 14% likelihood # 7. Comedian Amy Schumer - 14.7% likelihood # 6. Singer Katy Perry - 14.9% likelihood # 5. Rapper & Mr. Beyonce Jay Z - 15.8% likelihood # 4.

Honest Trailers Takes on "Age of Ultron"
We talked about this already. Marvel is releasing the BluRay version of The Avengers: Age of Ultron this week. So what better time than now to trot out the honest trailer for the movie. I'm sorry, that's Honest Trailer. It's the creation of Screen Junkies, a YouTube channel that pulls apart and pokes fun at the movies and TV shows we know and may or may not love. And this one for Age of Ultron is pretty hilarious Check it out.

This Was Necessary Why?
Eighteen years ago, in Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion - it was a movie, let's set the scene - Romy (played by Mira Sorvino) told her high school pals (also played by actors) that she invented Post-It notes. And obvious lie, and an obvious joke, in the script of a movie. I mentioned it's a movie, right? Yesterday, during an interview on The Huffington Post, Mira came face-to-Skype with the actual inventor of Post-Its, a guy named Art Fry. And she, as Romy, apologized to Art for saying she'd invented Post-It notes. It's an interesting bit - except no one seemed to know what part he or she was playing. What do you think?

You Learn Something New Every Day
The eastern seaboard of the United States is getting whacked with rain. Between five and ten inches of the wet stuff in some areas in the mid-Atlantic. All because of something called a rex block. It's a weather pattern. Ever heard of it? Neither have I. But it's real. High pressure to the north blocks low pressure to the south, so the normal weather patterns that flow east to west don't flow so well. And because of that, and Hurrican Joaquin just off shore, we're talking massive amounts of rain. Don't ask me. Ask Al Roker. He's got the low down. And now you know!

On Stage "Redemption"
This weekend's Global Citizen Festival in New York's Central Park saw some inspired musical pairings. Like Beyonce joining Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam on stage to peform Bob Marley's "Redemption Song." I don't know the song, so I took a look at Bob Marley's performance, and compared it with Beyonce and Eddie's. I think they improved on it a bit, and made it their own. What do you think?

"I've Always Hoped that the Good Lord Has a Sense of Humor"
Mark Wahlberg was asked to speak at a ceremony for Pope Francis during the pope's recent visit to the US. Yes, that Mark Wahlberg. The one who used to be Marky Mark, the one who has starred in some fairly raunchy yet successful films. Mark's Catholic, so why not get some face time with the guy in charge, right? During his speech, he mentioned Ted, the movie about a foul-mouthed teddy bear, and asked the pope's forgiveness. Sort of an odd and out-of-place thing, don't you think?

Scary Turf
This news story on NBC last night is pretty scary. There are folks out there who believe that crumb-rubber artificial turf could be causing cancer among people who use the turf regularly. Crumb-rubber is the term used for ground-up automotive tires. When asked about it, the federal government - in the form of the Environmental Protection Agency - doesn't have much to say. In fact, they don't have anything to say. And that's more scary than the possibility that the turf is carcinogenic. Check out the story...

Would You Give it Back?
On Sunday, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady tossed his 400th touchdown pass in front of a hometown crowd. That makes him only the fourth QB in NFL history to hit that mark - the other three are Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and Dan Marino. The pass was caught by wide receiver Danny Amendola, who thought about spiking the ball, but instead, handed it to a season ticket holder hanging out of the stands. Naturally, Tom wanted that ball, so someone from the Patriots swapped it out with the fan, who gave it up willingly. On Monday, Tom met with that fan, to say thanks, and to give him a nice bit of autographed swag. I guess it pays to be nice, right? What do you think? If you had your hands on a piece of sports memorabilia, would you just hand it over?

"Why is Damon Naked in this New 'Vampire Diaries' Trailer?"
Okay, I've never been interested in the CW's Vampire Diaries. And seeing naked men? I can take it or leave. But, my hat's off - and that's it, folks - to Ian Somerhalder, who plays Damon on this show I've never seen. He posted a trailer for the show on social media - this one to Instagram - that talks about his being naked in it. Guess what? While he might be, you get to see just his torso, so he just as easily might not be naked. Clever boy though. He got a ton of hits, and a ton of views for the trailer too. He must have majored in theater and minored in marketing... Why is Damon naked in this new Vampire Diaries Trailer...? A video posted by iansomerhalder (@iansomerhalder) on Sep 29, 2015 at 3:27pm PDT

You Can't Unsee This...
Please, someone explain to me how this happened? Just when you thought the Honey Boo Boo Clan was gone, they're back. With a music video. A. Music. Video. I can't even describe it.

Wait! I Shouldn't Cut-and-Paste That Warning?
If you've been on Facebook in the past couple of days, you've seen dozens, hundreds, maybe even more of your friends make a public post. They proclaim that what's on their Facebook page belongs to them, and no one - not even the mighty Facebook itself - can violate their privacy. There's another one out there that says Facebook will start charging you $5.99 a month to keep your private things private. That one says the poster heard it on Channel 13 (or Channell 11), so it's got to be true! It ain't real, folks. It's all a hoax. Just like Facebook said: "While there may be water on Mars, don't believe everything you read on the internet today. Facebook is free and it always will be. And the thing about copying and pasting a legal notice is just a hoax. Stay safe out there Earthlings!" Or maybe that's the hoax... Hmmm...

A Pentagon Veteran; Donald Henry Rumsfeld
When Donald H. Rumsfeld began his first tour of duty as secretary of defense in November 1975, the Vietnam War had just been lost and the American military was at perhaps its lowest ebb since World War II. At 43, Mr. Rumsfeld was the youngest defense secretary in history, but he had just 14 months to make his mark on military policy before the end of the Ford administration. Now, a quarter-century after Vietnam and nearly a decade after the cold war ended, Mr. Rumsfeld is coming back for a second chance, this time to direct a very different American military.December 29, 2000 usNews

By TOM McCOURTSun Advocate reporter
The East Carbon City Council met Tuesday and Jim Robertson appeared before the officials to present a letter from Commissioner Bill Krompel.
In the letter, Krompel explained that the Utah Association of Counties recently adopted a proposal to support pending legislation that would give 25 percent of a state severance tax to the counties where oil and gas are produced.
According to the letter, the State currently collects the severance tax monies, which in fiscal year 2005 amounted to $58 million, and puts them into the general fund.
The position of the association is that the counties, not the state, provide most of the infrastructure and services such as roads and maintenance for the energy producers.
Therefore, the impacted counties should be given a portion of the state oil and gas severance tax proceeds directly to help with the associated costs.
The UAC maintains that citizens in the impacted areas are being unfairly burdened while unaffected counties share fully in the severance tax monies generated.
Drafted by Sen. Beverly Evans, SB-63 would give oil and gas producing counties 25 percent of the state severance tax monies directly, a situation similar to the current Utah sales revenue redistribution.
In the letter, Krompel estimated that, based on 2005 rates, Carbon County would receive an additional $2 million in severance tax funding.
Robertson explained that what Krompel and the county commission wanted from East Carbon City was a letter supporting the proposed legislation.
Commissioners from energy-impacted counties will meet with state legislators to lobby for support of SB 63, and they are requesting that each municipality offer a formal letter of support.
The council passed a resolution to draft the letter of support as requested.
Addressing an unrelated matter of business, Robertson told the mayor and council that some of the apartments at the city housing authority complex are vacant.
Robertson said he was worried that East Carbon might lose funding for the subsidized housing units if the apartments remain vacant. He asked the council to help advertise the vacancies. The council agreed to do so.
Mayor Dale Andrews then talked about recent water problems at the housing authority complex. He explained that in August, the housing authority had petitioned for an adjustment of their water bill, which they thought was unreasonably high.
The adjustment was granted. But then the next water meter reading showed the same problem. Andrews said the problem was solved when the outside sprinkling system was shut off. He told Robertson that there was obviously a bad leak in the sprinkling system that would need to be repaired before next summer.
Andrews then read a draft of a resolution that would amend the city purchasing policy. The policy would require a purchase order for all city expenditures and a council member's signature for all expenditures over $25. All expenditures over $400 would require three competitive bids. After some discussion, the resolution was adopted unanimously.
The city council then canvassed the recent election and approved the results. The new city mayor, Orlando LaFontaine, will be sworn in on Jan. 3 at noon. The focus of the meeting then turned to council member reports.
Councilwoman Joyce Caviness reported to the council the ongoing efforts to remove oil contaminate dirt around city buildings.
Councilwoman Darlene Kuhns told the council that Terry Harrison had applied to be accepted as a member of the volunteer fire department and she presented his application for approval. Harrison was at the meeting and was introduced to those present. His application was unanimously approved.
The focus of the meeting then turned to Christmas lighting and the city's sub-for-Santa program. Kuhns asked the council for permission to use city property to erect a Christmas tree and holiday decorations. Her petition was approved. She then said that the city would designate Dec. 3 as a day to decorate the city Christmas tree.
Festivities will begin at 9:30 that morning.
Kuhns said the elementary school children will be making decorations and she asked that citizens donate what decorations they could spare. She explained that decorating the city tree is a fun day for the whole community and she urged citizens to support the event.
The council also allocated money to hold an annual community Christmas lighting contest to be judged by the senior citizens. First place will be a $100 prize, 2nd place a $75 prize, and 3rd place a $50 prize. The council also passed a resolution to give all city workers and firefighters a $25 gift certificate for Christmas and forgo an employee Christmas party to help fund the gift certificates.
As a final matter of business, Andrews read a letter of resignation from city building inspector Ron Prettyman, who is leaving the area. The council discussed the need, qualifications, and difficulties in acquiring the services of another building inspector. Officials will explore possibilities.
The next meeting of the East Carbon City Council is scheduled Dec. 6.

What Is Blindness?
Blindness in cats is a partial or total loss of vision that can be present from birth or occur suddenly due to injury or illness, or gradually from old age or progressive diseases such as hypertension, cataracts or glaucoma.
How Can I Tell If My Cat's Vision Is Failing?
Since cats usually compensate and adapt successfully, a gradual loss of vision can be difficult to detect. Sudden loss of vision may cause more obvious signs. Here are a few signs that your pet's vision may be failing:
- Misjudging heights and bumping into walls, furniture or other objects
- Confusion in new surroundings
- Reluctance to move from one spot
- General clumsiness and disorientation
- Easily startled
- Eye rubbing or squinting
- Cloudy, discolored, inflamed or tearing eyes
- Large pupils that do not respond to light
What Causes Blindness In Cats?
Though blindness can be a congenital condition or part of the aging process, there are many conditions that can lead to vision loss in cats:
- Feline Progressive Retinal Atrophy (uncommon, only seen in certain breeds)
- Trauma
- Taurine deficiency
- Untreated eye infections or blocked tear ducts
- Glaucoma
- Cataracts
- Diabetes mellitus (in rare cases)
- High blood pressure secondary to other diseases
- Cancer or other tumor
- Inflammation within the eye
- Infectious disease
- Drug reaction
Which Cats Are Prone To Blindness?
Cats of any breed and age can become blind. However, certain diseases that cause blindness are more commonly seen in elderly cats. Bengal, Abyssinian and Persian cats are genetically predisposed to retinal atrophy.
How Is Blindness Diagnosed?
Your vet will perform a preliminary exam of your cat may run diagnostic tests such as blood work and blood pressure measurement. If necessary, your vet will recommend a veterinary ophthalmologist who will perform a more detailed assessment.
How Can I Create a Safe Environment for My Blind Cat?
You can help your cat feel secure in his surroundings by providing a stable, obstacle-free environment. Most cats can adapt very well with their other senses.
- Give extra attention and TLC, especially for elderly pets.
- Avoid moving furniture.
- Don't leave boxes, toys or other objects in walking paths.
- Speak to your cat when you enter the room and before petting or touching him.
- Refrain from making sudden loud noises, which can be startling.
- Do not allow your cat access to the outdoors.
- Keep food, water and litter box all in the same, easily accessible place.
- Let him smell visitors' hands before they touch him.
- Block access to stairs or other perilous places in the home.
- Encourage your cat to use his other senses, scent and sound, as much as possible.
Can Blind Cats Ever Get Their Vision Back?
Loss of vision in cats can be reversible, depending on the cause. Cataracts, which cause mild to total vision loss, can be removed by surgery. Check with your veterinarian to find the most appropriate treatment for your cat's condition.
How Can Blindness Be Prevented?
Pet parents should not let eye infections go untreated and any signs of diabetes, although a rare cause of blindness in cats, should be investigated. Examine your cat's eyes regularly, and take him to the vet if his eyes look cloudy or if you see any changes in his overall activity or attitude. A regular visit to the veterinarian, even if no problems are noted, can help to detect any early problems and keep your cat in the best of health.

|Fire Causes Heavy Damage to Home
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 09 October 2012 05:25
A Watauga family suffered severe damage to their home in a fire last night battled by four departments. Boone Fire, Deep Gap, Meat Camp, and Blowing Rock were all called to the 887 Seven Oaks Road home off Roby Greene Road just before 8:30 last night as fire and smoke were discovered as Mark and Terri Lockwood
returned home. The Lockwood family had been at home preparing dinner when the power went out, but they managed to eat their meal, then decided to go to town. When they returned, sometime after 8:15, the power was back on, and when they opened the door, they were greeted by smoke and could see some fire burning in the kitchen in the center of their house. The Lockwoods called 9-1-1 as the fire worked its way through and out the roof of the structure. Fire units managed to knock down the fire, saving much of the structure, Boone fire declaring the fire as controlled at about 9:15. But much damage had been done, Boone Fire estimating some $300,000 to the house and contents, but probably $100,000 in structure and belongings were saved in the firefighting effort. Mop-up operations continued late into the night, with Watauga Medics, then Watauga Rescue standing by as the effort lasted late into the evening, but no injuries were reported in the fire or firefighting effort. Boone fire officials said that the stove had apparently been left on after the power went out, and cooking oils were ignited while the family was away, causing the fire. The Lockwoods are reportedly staying with family in the area.

Each month, we choose dozens of the world's most stylish ladies for our daily stories, but at the end of the year, only a handful are anointed with the title: Best Dressed. On that note, it is with great pleasure that we present the select few who truly inspired us in 2008. You'll note some familiar faces from the group we singled out in 2007, along with several fresh trendsetters who Louboutined their way onto our radar!
1. Georgia May Jagger
Along with the rest of our Girl of the Month alumni, the youngest Jagger daughter possesses a keen understanding of fashion. She consistently turns heads in bold colors and flattering silhouettes-choices that earned her a spot here today! Jagger recently delighted us at the Africa Rising Festival in London by wearing a fuchsia body-conscious dress, lace-up boots, vintage purse, and her signature red lipstick!
2. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen
Let's face it, the universe would be substantially less inspiring sans the Olsens' peerless style. Spotted here (looking unsurprisingly fabulous) at the Selfridges launch of their Elizabeth & James line, they are both appropriately dressed in E&J. Mary-Kate is wearing the Elizabeth IV Ruched Sleeve Blazer, with a Tokyo Floral Bouquet Top and over-the-knee boots, while Ashley chose the Motorcycle Pants and Manolo Blahnik's Fallo Pumps.
3. Zoe Kravitz
To suitably express the hype over Miss Kravitz, we'll borrow some words from her father, Lenny: we're crazy for this little lady! The rocker daughter complements her effortlessly cool attitude via eccentric and vintage clothing, which she combines superbly. In 2008, one of our favorite Kravitz' getups was the strapless salmon dress and embellished multicolor jacket (both from Matthew Williamson's S/S 09 collection) that she selected for The Museum of Modern Art's Film Benefit honoring Baz Luhrmann. Kravitz smartly balanced out the eye-catching ensemble by keeping her accessories basic (neutral open-toe booties and a solid orange clutch).
4. Erin Wasson
Just a brief glance at our archives will confirm how obsessed we are with Erin Wasson's personal style. The supermodel-turned-stylist-turned-designer is more than deserving of a place in our Best Dressed 2008 list, thanks to her consistently striking outfits. Earlier this year, Wasson stunned at the 10th Annual amfAR Gala in New York City in a Balmain dress, Manolo Blahnik for Alexander Wang Boots, and Alexander Wang clutch. As we discussed in Beauty Board: Holiday Trends, we are keen on sparkly headpieces, so Wasson earns extra kudos here for her own Lowluv-designed Crown of Thorns accessory.
5. Chanel Iman
Models are expected to know a thing or two about fashion, but Chanel Iman is particularly informed. The gorgeous gal recently showed off her excellent outfit instincts at The Fashion Group International's 25th Annual Night of the Stars in New York City when she wore a Chanel couture fringed gray blouse, black leggings, and fashion's favorite gladiator heels.
6. Kate Moss
When we're not wondering (LINK to W.W.S.W.) what Kate Moss might wear, we are researching her actual outfit details or coveting the supermodel's Topshop collection. Concerning our Best Dressed list, she is sort of a no-brainer inclusion-in fact-she may be the best dressed. Seen here at the Agent Provocateur "White Wedding" in the Milk Studios Penthouse in NYC, Moss stayed timeless and sexy in an all-black outfit (with an awesome vest from her own Topshop line).
7. Vanessa Traina
One of our earnest desires for the new year is to see more of Vanessa Traina in 2009! Though she is less universally known than some of her best-dressed celebrity counterparts, the well-seasoned style setter and socialite's sophisticated taste deserves recognition for a second year in a row. If you doubt our word, just check out the head-to-toe noir outfit she wore to the House of Boucheron 150th Anniversary Celebration in New York City as proof of her fashionable standing.
8. Emma Watson
With a Chanel perfume campaign under her belt and a year's worth of perfectly executed outfits to speak of, Emma Watson is a welcome inclusion in today's story! The grown-up starlet is pictured here at the Yves Saint Lauret S/S 09 Fashion Show in Paris, appropriately wearing all YSL pieces.
9. Carine Roitfeld
As the Editor-in-Chief of Paris Vogue, Carine Roitfeld is the ultimate fashion insider. We'd give anything to take a peek inside her closet, as it's no doubt overflowing with luxurious garments. The sharply stylish editrix flaunted her panache at the Lutz & Patmos F/W 08 show in slouchy slacks and a structured ruffle blouse with a chic skinny belt cinched at the waist.
10. Diane Kruger
Whether thrilling us in a silver Alberta Ferretti dress at the Met Gala or dazzling us in a sequined Chloe frock for a film premiere, Diane Kruger is always one to watch. We kept our eyes on her at the Ray-Ban Remasters Event a few months ago, where she looked radiant in an androgynous Chanel jumpsuit.
11. Natalia Vodianova
We couldn't overlook Natalia Vodianova for our best-dressed lineup, as her chic style is just as lovely as gorgeous as she is! Seen above during London Fashion Week, the Russian lovely wore a puffy jacket over a Julien MacDonald dress, Kova & T leggings, and Giuseppe Zanotti pumps.
12. Margherita Missoni
When not studying theater or modeling for the brand to which she is an heir, Margherita Missoni is charming us with her au courant wardrobe! This year, we were exceptionally taken with the drapey Grecian dress and peep-toe heels she displayed at the Cannes Film Festival.
13. Alexa Chung
We are fairly confident that Alexa Chung never left her house this year in a less-than-immaculate outfit. The British/TV presenter/model/all-around-it-girl extended her extraordinary taste to us for one of our most successful Insider's Picks to date. Considering this, plus how skilled Chung is at mixing price points, we knew she should make the list. The outfit she wore to the Uniqlo UT Gallery in London is a perfect example of how to create a thoughtfully assembled look: a vintage dress and jacket, Stella McCartney booties, and a Topshop Bag (with a skeleton charm from Walmart attached!).
14. Rihanna
Rihanna is another obvious candidate for this story, as the chart-topping diva is always wearing something fabulous (in life and in her music videos-we're infatuated with the gothic costumes she wears Disturbia). In addition to her glamorous clothes, she never fails to flaunt the most of-the-moment beauty looks and fiercest accessories! Case in point: at London's Jingle Bell Ball, she made quite the statement by offsetting her sharp vintage Claude Montana Jumpsuit with Burberry Prorsum's spike necklace.
15. Claudia Schiffer
Who knew one of our favorite models from the early nineties would continue to inspire us in 2008? Claudia Schiffer is constantly in high-fashion feminine attire these days and always a delight to see. One of our favorite ensembles is the above Valentino ensemble she wore to his final haute couture show in Paris last January.
16. Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow certainly pumped up the glamour this year, thanks to a slew of vampy chic outfits and a transforming shoulder-grazing haircut! The Yummy Mummy accomplished bombshell status when she turned up at the Rumble in the Jumble event at the Truman Bowery in London in a body-conscious Giles Deacon dress, Christian Louboutin boots, and a Tod's Tilda Ponchette Clutch.
17. Rachel Bilson
With all of the Rachel Bilson coverage we accomplished this year, it's hard to believe there's an outfit left to feature! Luckily, we set aside this photo from the Rogan for Target debut at Barneys in Beverly Hills, where the beloved Bilson wore a vintage dress, Maison Martin Margiela nude cut out booties, and a Chanel purse.
18. Julia Stegner
Last, but certainly not least, we must draw attention to our favorite German supermodel, Julia Stegner. As a face for Gucci's fall campaign, she fittingly assumed a Gucci maxi dress and cozy fur coat for the fashion house's latest store opening in Germany last month. Not only is her innovative style praiseworthy, but also her hair and makeup! With her hair slicked-back, we can fully appreciate her flawless bone structure, glowing skin, and eye-catching red lipstick!-Jessica Amento

|Two Charged in Caldwell Armed Robbery
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 28 January 2013 17:11
A Saturday armed robbery has led to two arrests. The Caldwell Sheriff's Office says that at approximately 5:15 pm, an employee of Tim's Discount Foods of Lenoir, reported to the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office that a subject entered the store and displayed a knife and demanded cash.
The subject took an undisclosed amount of cash and fled the area in a Green Honda Accord. With the assistance of tips from Citizens as well as members of the NC Highway Patrol, Investigators and patrol deputies were able to identify the vehicle used in this case. That information led to the identification and arrest of Wesley Blaine Calloway, alleged to have driven the vehicle used in the robbery. Calloway was placed under arrest without incident at his residence on Saturday afternoon around 3:00. Shawn Arlando Miller was later identified as the person that entered Discount Foods and displayed the knife. Miller was placed under arrest on Sunday at 6:30 pm. Sheriff Alan Jones credited good witness information, and said, "Agencies working together, we were able to solve this crime and get these people out of the community."
Shawn Arlando Miller is charged with one count of Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon and is being held at the Caldwell County Detention Center under a $75,000.00 secured bond. Wesley Blaine Calloway is charged with Conspiracy to commit Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon and is being held at the Caldwell County Detention Center under a $75,000.00 Secured Bond.

MASSENA - A Christmas Eve organ performance at Emmanuel Congregational United Church of Christ has been preserved on CD as a fundraiser for the church.
A performance by local musician James C. Phillips on Christmas Eve 2012 was recorded and is now available as a CD called Christmas at Emmanuel for those looking for stocking stuffers or under-the-tree presents or who just want to crank up the sound and get into the holiday spirit this year.
Jim had done a Christmas concert last year and recorded it. He offered to do the work to produce the CD, the Rev. Judith Van Kennen, pastor of Emmanuel Congregational UCC said.
Its all Christmas organ music, she said. Its a beautiful CD.
Its a live recording. I recorded it myself on a field recorder, which is about the size of a cell phone and will do a CD-quality record, Mr. Phillips said.
Mr. Phillips said the sale of the CD provides a way to raise funds for the church, which he said is still recovering from a 2007 fire that kept them out of their home until 2009.
It was recorded not with the intention of putting out a CD, for just for posterity. People got to listening to it and the idea got floated around, he said.
The church will benefit from the sales of the CD, according to the Massena musician.
No one is making a penny off this including me. One hundred percent of the proceeds go to the church. They lost everything (in the fire). The whole main floor was just gone. All the music library going back to 1930 was lost, he said.
Once the congregation was able to return to their church, one of the new features that greeted them was an organ, which was used for the Christmas CD.
The organ in the church is the latest state-of-the-art digital organ. It sounds identical to a pipe organ. It has not only samples of six different pipe organs from around the world, there are samples of all the orchestra instruments and a modern keyboard and synthesizers that are out there. It also has samples from the mighty Wurlitzer theater organ from the silent movie days. It literally has everything you can imagine, Mr. Phillips said.
The CD showcases all those sounds, he said, including the traditional organ and theater organ. For the CD, theres a banjo solo for Jingle Bells and a bagpipe solo for Deck the Hall. All these sounds are coming from the organ and its live. You can hear people applauding.
The CD includes titles like Joy to the World, Sussex Carol, Love Came Down at Christmas, Bring a Torch Jeanette Isabella, Good Christian Men Rejoice, Carol of the Bells, Jingle Bells, White Christmas and Deck the Halls. Altogether there are 22 songs on the CD.
Because not all the songs were in the public domain, the Rev. Van Kennen said others helped pay for the rights to use the music.
We had a lot of people that were very generous in helping pay for the licensing and reproducing the CD, she said.
Mr. Phillips said he was thankful for those who stepped forward to assist with the project. It takes a lot of effort and expense to put on a CD. Theres a lot of up-front expense. There are several people that were involved, that made it possible, that really should be thanked, he said.
Four of the songs - White Christmas, Winter Wonderland, Sleigh Ride and The Christmas Song - were still under copyright and David Frary from Phillips Memorial Home donated the funds to the church for the copyright licenses.
MacKenzie Shoen did the photography for the CD cover photo, which shows Mr. Phillips standing next to the organ.
The graphic design for the cover was done by Mark Crosby, and Tom Gramuglia, president of Hindsight Records did the CD duplication free of charge for the church.
In addition, Mr. Phillips said, Jane and Terry DuBray shot a video of the concert that will be broadcast this holiday season on the local cable channel, WNTS, Time Warner channel 1501.
The CD, which has a suggested donation of $12 plus $3 for shipping and handling for mail orders, is available now at the church.
Theres someone in the church from 8:30 to noon, the Rev. Van Kennen said. If youd like one mailed anywhere for $12 plus mailing fees, call the church office (at 769-8523). Well mail it anywhere in the U.S.
Cashiers checks or money orders can be made payable to: Emmanuel Congregational United Church of Christ and sent to Emmanuel Congregational United Church of Christ, 39 W. Orvis St., Massena, NY 13662-1832.
Copies can also be purchased at Star Tech.
And, Mr. Phillips said, theres a chance there may be another CD in the works for the next holiday season.
Hopefully Ill be able to do it again this year, he said.

The weakness exhibited in Carbon County's economy during the first three months of last year persisted into the second quarter of 2003.
Hit hard during the recent recession, the local manufacturing sector reported a year-over job loss of 142 positions, indicated the Utah Department of Workforce Services.
Temporary help employment and jobs in leisure and hospitality were down, contributing to the sluggishness of the Carbon County economy.
For the second consecutive quarter, year-over employment growth has fallen in the county. Second quarter 2003 reported 3.5 percent fewer total jobs than in 2002.
A sharp downturn in manufacturing is the primary culprit and Carbon's unemployment rate continues to hover around 7 percent, pointed out the workforce services department.
During second quarter 2003, the goods producing and service producing sectors in Carbon County felt the pinch of job losses.
Total year-over employment in the local area dropped 3.5 percent or 320 jobs. Employment losses were most pronounced in manufacturing, which dropped 142 jobs
In addition, declines occurred in the local coal mining industry as well as wood, printing and fabricated metal products.
Construction jobs posted no change. Gains in residential and special trade building offset losses in heavy construction, explained workforce services.
Service producing industries in Carbon County experienced 149 lost jobs for a 2 percent decline.
The sector includes trade, transportation, information, lodging and food services.
The majority of the employment losses were in food services, accommodations and temporary help services.
A decline in public education positions also dropped Carbon County's employment for local government, said the department of workforce services.
While weak, other Carbon County industry sectors managed to remain relatively steady.
Real estate related jobs managed to post slight gains, as did health care and private education services.
Federal and state government employment also expanded slightly in the Carbon area.
Second quarter 2003 permit authorized construction activity in the local area followed the pattern set during the first quarter, noted the department of workforce services.
The county continued to experience rising residential activity and declining non-residential building.
The total valuation of construction fell 7 percent, primarily due to the lack of major commercial building in the Carbon County area.
However, the value of residential buildings in the county rose 25 percent, due primarily to a slight increase in single-family housing activity in the local area.
Non-residential building valuations dropped 20 percent in the county, reflecting the lack of major projects in the local area.
The valuation of renovations to residential and non-residential buildings in Carbon County also declined in the second quarter.
Gross taxable sales continued to slump at locations throughout the local area.
Year-over sales declined 14.2 percent in Carbon County second quarter 2003.
Mining sales fell 57 percent in Carbon County.
Sales for construction, transportation, electricity and gas also declined.
Retail sales were off 3.2 percent.
A drop in food store sales strongly influenced the decrease.
The retail sector accounts for 52 percent of all gross taxable sales in Carbon County
Local business services sales also tumbled in Carbon County during second quarter 2003.
Until the Utah and United States economies pick up steam, the outlook for more robust economic growth in Carbon County during 2004 remains low, indicated the department of workforce services.
Mining will continue to struggle and manufacturing is unlikely to improve in the near future, predicted the state workforce agency.
However, recreation related job opportunities should stabilize and help ease the downward trend in the Carbon County economy, concluded the workforce services department.

ADAMS Cameron M. Humphrey, 9, of Rodman, was relieved to see his companion treated by a South Jefferson Rescue Squad emergency medical technician.
The rescue squad at 38 Main St. hosted a teddy bear clinic Saturday designed to ease childrens fears of an ambulance and EMT personnel in case of a real emergency. Cameron brought his stuffed moose to have its injured arm helped.
We answer any questions that they have ... encourage them to open any cupboards; we do whatever they want to make them comfortable, said Deborah L. Singleton, executive director of the South Jefferson Rescue Squad.
A general concern is that parents may unintentionally shelter their children and think of an ambulance only when there is an emergency. The clinic offered both children and parents a chance to learn what an ambulance can do without the hassle of an emergency trip.
The majority of stuff we do isnt an ouchy, Ms. Singleton said.
This was the second year the rescue squad has hosted the free clinic. Children as old as 10 were asked to bring along a stuffed animal or doll to be fixed up by a medic or emergency medical technician. Children also were given a tour of the ambulance.
To me its just a mini doctors office, said Cameron, who came to the clinic with younger sister, Mia E.
Im still afraid, 6-year-old Mia admitted.
At first she was scared of the oxygen because she thought it was a shot, said the childrens mother, Melissa E. Gillette.
Chief William B. Mabe demonstrated how the oxygen mask fitted first over Mias face and then his own.
We do transport a lot of kids, unfortunately, Mr. Mabe said. He estimated that at least two or three children ride in an ambulance per month. Most often the children are picked up from schools.
Save for X-ray or ultrasound machines, ambulances are equipped with most emergency medical equipment, as well as several teddy bears to keep children calm in emergency situations.
Its a scary thing, whether its a family member or them thats in the ambulance, Ms. Singleton said.
Jesse G. Rogers, medic, and Patrick M. Shelmidine, EMT, were on site to wrap up injuries on stuffed animals and walk children through ambulance equipment and procedures.
They usually ask what the monitor is, Mr. Rogers said, referring to the Lifepak machine. They think its a TV.
A heart monitor, the Lifepak also acts as a defibrillator and measures blood pressure.
It gives your arm a little hug, Mr. Shelmidine explained to Emily and Janelle Reinhardt of Adams Center.
It was not the first time in an ambulance for 3-year-old Emily, who had difficulty breathing a few months ago. Her mother, Tara, wanted her children to experience it in a way where theyre not afraid.
What we want to do is provide as much information as we can on a childs level, Mr. Shelmidine said.
Children also showed interest in the hydraulic-based stretcher, which Mr. Shelmidine said can hold up to 700 pounds.
After the tour, children were allowed to color a picture of an ambulance.

State of the art saxophone mouthpiece!
The JodyJazz DV Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece produces a bigger, fatter sound that is achieved effortlessly with better intonation and response. This mouthpiece was to created to be the most efficient mouthpiece possible. That means that there are lots of harmonics and great projection, without the annoying shrillness that is associated with loud bright mouthpieces.

This results in absolutely no dead spots in the vibration of the reed, with the notes in all ranges responding equally. It has a husky barrel-chested tone, while being able to sing and soar over the top of any band. Subtoning and low notes are extremely easy and the altissimo is out of this world. Be prepared to have possibly the most fun you ever have had playing the saxophone.

BUFFALO, NY - There was no official timer for the makeshift marathon held Sunday morning in Delaware Park. But Julia Burke and the other runners and volunteers from Western New York all won as they ran all or part of a 26.5 mile marathon. And they really did it to help out folks at the other end of New York state.
Julia was originally set to run the New York City Marathon which was abruptly cancelled when city officials finally realized resources for that race were badly needed elsewhere to help people affected by Hurricane Sandy.
But Julia Burke had another idea. She decided to take her travel expenses and just donate them to the Red Cross relief efforts. And then the idea spread through Facebook and word of mouth to other runners, volunteers, and those who just wanted to donate. Many just decided to pretend they were entering a race with the traditional $20 to 25 dollar entrance fee and just donate it.
So they showed up to run about 14 and a half laps around Delaware Park. Donations poured in. That caused Julia to say "I'm absolutely blown away. This is what Western New York is all about. We're all New Yorkers. We're all together in this."

Rated 3.6 out of 5Â by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by nancy&ron I love these socks I have been wearing these smooth Knit Merino socks for a number of years. This year I ordered some for my husband and he loves them also. They keep our legs and feet snuggly warm. My only complaint is: The past several years, the heels wear out much too quickly. Long before the rest of the socks. Otherwise, we are very happy with this product. And will continue to place an order for them. March 28, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Cold feet, warm heart Warm & comfy but wear out These socks feel great -- they're soft and warm and stay up without leaving painful dents in my (average-sized) calves. I love wearing them and have bought many pairs. However, I wish the toes were reinforced, because they develop holes way too soon. February 2, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5Â by jaques Plus size NOT plus The plus size version of these socks is NOT plus sized, in either the smooth or cable style. I bought two pair of plus size knee highs at the store in Vermont a couple of years ago and they fit great, but these newer ones are not high enough, and bind at the top. I have noticed that a lot of companies have been skimping on the quality and amount of fabric used in their products, I presume to save money. But I did not expect that from VCS. January 13, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Susan03 The dye comes out of these socks when washed The first time I washed these socks, I washed them with gray towels. The socks were brown and black. My gray towels had brown and black dye on them. It has been decades since I had the dye come out of new clothes. The second time, I washed them with some cleaning towels, and again the dye came out of the socks. The socks are very warm and since I live in the north, I kept them. I will have to hand wash them until they stop bleeding out dye. December 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by charlottestein Great knee-high socks It's getting harder and harder to find knee-high wool socks. I have been wearing socks like these for most of my life and can't imagine winter without them. The 3 pairs I bought from Vermont Country Store are lovely quality and nice and warm. December 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Hokie57 Highly recommend I have navy and black. They stay up, are warm and look nice with business casual pants. November 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by RoseV These socks are so comfortable and soft I bought five pairs of socks and I love them. They are so soft and comfortable. The keep your legs warm and don't fall down. They wash beautifully too. I am so glad I bought them and would highly recommend them. I plan to buy more of them. March 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BeckieS Awesome socks I live in Wisconsin and it has been a very cold winter. Regular trouser socks are not warm enough when your high temperature is only 1. These socks are very soft and warm. I ordered the plus size and they fit easily over my calf and are comfortable on all day. They keep my feet and calves toasty. February 25, 2014
