If an argument falls in a forest of confusion and nobody hears it, does it make an impact?
In a segment with Megyn Kelly on the Wednesday edition of the O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly lamented how traditionalists don't have a "compelling argument" on the faux-marriage issue and that all we can do is "thump the Bible." But if theistic thumping is all O'Reilly hears, he needs an ear for something other than the mainstream media.
O'Reilly's assertion is, frankly, insulting. Many of us in the Brainstream Media have for years been propounding deep, intellectual, and sometimes novel arguments in defense of marriage. And they're certainly compelling, yet it is true that they don't compel. And how could they?
Virtually no one hears them because society's primary conduits of information — the mainstream media, academia, and popular culture — are all controlled by the Left.
The reality is that the above members of the Triumvirate of Evil are like the sentient programs in The Matrix: they guard all the gates and hold all the keys. If they don't want your message to get out, it won't. They can make you famous or infamous or keep you anonymous; they can cast angels as demons, truth as lies, and virtue as vice. And they do.
So is it fair to fault traditionalists for not being able to put compelling arguments in the public arena? It's a bit like putting the onus on the Jews for not having been able to control the narrative used against them in Nazi Germany.
In fact, if anyone would imply that the Right has been outshined by the Left in intellectual heft, he has it exactly backwards. The Right has actually been doing very little Bible-thumping, while the Left has been doing almost nothing but equality-thumping. And this is the Left's advantage.

|Single Item on Watauga BOE Closed Session
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 30 January 2013 08:04
Many eyes are on the specially called Board of Education meeting called for this evening—a closed session with one item on the agenda—personnel. The notice of that meeting came as another written account has surfaced involving an interaction with Watauga Superintendent of Schools
Dr. David Kafitz. The statement comes from Watauga Board of Elections Director Jane Ann Hodges concerning an incident on Election Day 2012, added to an incident at Mellow Mushroom during Christmas holidays. Just what will unfold as the day goes along and into that closed session remains to be seen.

I would like to ask a question about the deer fence between Price and Helper, as it currently is unfinished.
Is it unfinished due to lack of funds, or is there some other reason? The part that has been finished really has helped to save the deer from being hit and/or killed in areas where it has been installed so far.
The difference between the two areas is striking, in terms of dead deer seen lying on the sides of the highway.
Does anyone have any information as to whether or not this fence will be continued all the way from where it ended so far (half-way to Helper), to at least the mouth of Price Canyon? What is the extent of the plans for this fence?
It is evident that the fence is truly helping, and that the unfinished area really needs to be finished as quickly as possible, not just for safety of the deer population, but also for the cost to automobile accidents caused by the deer jumping out onto the busy highway.
Any type of update or information available would be appreciated by all concerned.

The eighth annual Trails End Realty Easter Egg Hunt will be held in Price Pioneer Park March 23 at 10 a.m. Each year, the company joins with sponsors to benefit one or more local charities and provide a morning of fun for kids.
This year the egg hunt will benefit Spencer's Wishes and the Carbon and Emery County Food Banks. Last year the event raised enough to send 11 children to baseball camp and the Christmas party.
The company is asking for individuals and companies wishing to join in sponsoring or helping out at the event to call 637-1884. The goal this year is to fill more than 8,000 eggs with candy and small prizes.

Expressing surprise at the enormous increase in U.S. production of oil and natural gas by unconventional means, Thomas Helbling, a division chief in the IMF's (International Monetary Fund) Research Department, was forced to admit that it was free enterprise that was responsible for it after all. In his March 2013 article he wrote:
A strong rebound in gas and then oil production in the United States over the past few years has taken markets and policymakers by surprise. As a result, natural gas prices in the United States are at a 20-year low.…
It's all because of fracking and free enterprise, which have "fundamentally changed the outlook for natural gas as a source of energy," he added. This illustrates the phenomenon known in Economics 101 as "the law of supply and demand." In other words, "the cure for high prices is high prices." Helbling concluded:
The sudden takeoff in the production of oil and gas from unconventional sources in recent years is another case in which high prices and new technologies combined to turn a previously uneconomical resource into an economically viable one.
The jump in oil prices in late 1973, for example, made the development of new oil resources in the Arctic (Alaska) and the North Sea economical and eventually contributed to declines in oil prices that persisted well into the 1980s.
More generally, the development of new sources of supply is a normal response to a commodity price boom and has historically been one of the forces behind price declines after a boom.
The increase in the production of natural gas in the United States over the past several years has indeed been impressive, with output rising 30 percent between 2008 and 2012, with no end in sight.

KALAMAZOO, Michigan (WOOD) -- A Texas woman moving back home to West Michigan to live with family never showed up, prompting her family to fear the worst.
Katrina Hernandez -- originally from Martin, Mich. but recently of Dallas -- is traveling with her four children. She was supposed to arrive in Kalamazoo on March 7, but no one has heard from her since March 5.
Police in the Dallas area are now investigating her disappearance as a missing persons case.
For 13 days, Hernandez's brother, Kenneth Gordon of Kalamazoo, has been waiting for her and her four children to show up. He's worried that something awful may have happened.
"I'm hoping and praying for the best, but I'm fearing the worst," he said.

Arlington Cam-Kit: Adapt Any Fixture Box for a Custom Dome Camera Installation
Filed under: Uncategorized
So, you just got a dome-style security camera. How were you thinking of mounting that thing? As far as I know, there are two choices: get out your hole saw and install a brand new camera mount from scratch, or you can use Arlington's Cam-Kit™ to adapt an existing fixture box into a custom hanging bracket. No offense to the hole saws out there, but if I already have a perfectly good fixture box installed into a wall, ceiling, or eave, I'm not going to haul out a tool that requires me to wear safety glasses and a mask to avoid Death by Drywall Particulate. Nooooooooooo thank you.
If you haven't already figured it out, that means that I'm extremely pro Cam-Kit™. Made by Arlington Industries, otherwise known as the Retrofit Geniuses, this adapter set has everything you need to transform an old, unused fixture box into a mount that's perfect for any dome security camera up to 5 inches in size. Available in round or octagonal versions to suit either shape fixture box, the Cam-Kit™ consists of a crossbar that mounts onto the box itself, as well as a camera base that attaches to your security camera.
Installation is incredibly easy: once you attach each part of the kit to its respective component (as I just mentioned), you just twist the camera base onto the crossbar, tighten the set screw so that nothing budges, and you're good to go. If you're wondering how this can possibly work for such a wide range of cameras, it's easy: you drill your own mounting holes, exactly where you need them.
In letting you take this step of the operation into your own hands, Arlington isn't being lazy on their end – they're actually doing you a favor. Ever tried to to force a "universal fit" accessory to conform to the item you purchased it for? No fun. You're way better off zipping your power drill through the mount yourself. All of the holes will line up, and remember, you already avoided hole saw work, so what's the big deal about a few seconds with a power drill? Nada.

BUFFALO, NY-- They've enjoyed only a few flurries of snow the last couple of days, but folks living around the metro area of Buffalo and the northtowns are now getting their share of snow.
The lake effect snow bands are moving north, bringing anywhere from 6"-12" of snow for Erie and Niagara counties and 3"-6" for Niagara, Orleans and Genesee counties.
The snow is causing limited visibility and slippery road conditions.

By By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
In what might be called a setback for both sides in the age-old water war between Carbon and Sanpete Counties, the Federal Bureau of Reclamation on Thursday approved construction of the Gooseberry Narrows Dam but said the agency won't even consider funding it.
The BOR issued those findings in its record of decision on the controversial project's Final Environmental Impact Statement.
The agency stated that it had reviewed all the environmental, economic, technical and social impacts and found the the dam and reservoir would qualify under federal environmental rules.
However, BOR declared, "Reclamation did not and will not evaluate the loan application appended to the FEIS."
The reason for this is that the bureau has not adminstered projects funded by the Small Reclamation Projects Acts for 25 years and is not seeking additional funding. Furthemore, "The prospect of future SRPA funding through Congressional write-in is unlikely."
It approving the environmental aspects of the application, however, the BOR decision affirms that the Sanpete Water Conservancy District has permission to exercise its right to divert up to 5,400 acre-feet of year per year from Carbon County into northern Sanpete.
The Army Corps of Engineers will determine the size of the reservoir, but it could be as much as 17,000 acre-feet.
From the reservoir, water will flow via a system of pipes and canals to farmland in Sanpete County. The project will not increase the acreage of land under cultivation, but it will enable a third crop of alfalfa. That is expected to raise farm income in the irrigated area by about 11 percent.
Carbon County water users, including irrigators, industries, county government and municipalities on the west side of the county have opposed the Narrows project for a century.
Taking that much water away from Scofield Reservoir each year - on average, about 6.6 percent of the inflow - could make it more probable that Carbon's principal water source could occasionally shrink to "dead storage," the BOR noted. However, the bureau also explained that Scofield was designed with extra storage to accommodate even greater diversions than the Narrows proposes.
The Sanpete Water Conservancy District has 15 years to come up with the funding, either from public or private sources or both, and award a construction contract. Otherwise, the license will be terminated.
Mike Milovich, board member of the Carbon County Water Conservancy District, said the district's lawyers [Parson, Behle & Latimer of Salt Lake City] will be reviewing the bureau's Record of Decision and other options to see what the next step in the opposition will be.
Milovich also noted that the BOR's decision not to fund the project makes moot several objections to the Environmental Impact Statement, which had focused on the districts eligibility for Small Reclamation Projected Act funding.

The library has partnered with DNR's Education Team to
provide interactive educational kits. Kits are appropriate for grades 4 - 8, and are a
great resource for school visits, scout troops, or weekend
activities. Kits may be checked out for one week. The following kits are
available at the DNR library:
Who Polluted? - Each student plays a role in the story
of a watershed and the activities happening on a particular
day. Through this interactive story, students learn how
everyone plays a part in the health of our rivers, streams,
and Chesapeake Bay.
Sum of the Parts - Students theoretically inherit one
million dollars and riverfront property to develop as they
wish. Students illustrate their plan to develop their
property, discuss how they will use the available resources,
and identify actions they think may pollute the waterway.
Students learn the difference between point and nonpoint
source pollution and how the land uses of each property owner
contribute to overall water quality within the watershed.
Wetland Metaphors - A variety of objects representing
wetland characteristics help students visualize and remember
the valuable role of wetlands. Students will describe the
characteristics of wetlands and evaluate the importance of
wetlands to wildlife and humans.
Macroinvertebrate Mayhem - Students learn how macroinvertebrates are used as biological indicators to assess
water quality and ecological health of streams and rivers.
Participants will identify macroinvertebrates that are
sensitive to pollutants and those that are pollution tolerant,
indicators of good and poor water quality, and then play a
game of tag to simulate the effects of environmental stressors
on macroinvertebrate populations.
These materials are available at the DNR
Library. All DNR employees may check out these
materials. Click on the link to go to the library

Lakers 119, Clippers 82
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sat, 03/08/08, 10:38am:
Whatever else you can say about the clusterfuck that was last season, the Clippers finished the season as the second best team at defending the three. Perimeter defense and rotations have been a strong suit for this team in recent years. It's how they stayed in and almost won a series with PHX a couple of years back and how they're able to neutralize their lack of superior individual defenders. Even this season, the Clippers are fourth in opponents' 3PM/game.
As a general rule, when a team forfeits one of its most notable strengths, it will lose an NBA basketball game. The Lakers convert 14 of 23 3PAs, 12 of them in the second half. Some were lucky chucks, others were offered up free of charge.
Let's take a look:
- [1st, 11:07] The Lakers are spaced beautifully and the Clippers are sagging. Gasol from the left block feeds the ball into a diving Radmanovic in the paint. The entirety of the Clipper defense collapses on Vlad, including Derek Fisher's man Dan Dickau. Dickau is the fourth to arrive on the scene and offers no discernable help. Vlad fumbles the ball, but eventually kicks it out to Fisher for a wide open 3PM. Easy.
- [2nd, 10:02] This is one of the Clippers' best defensive possessions of the night. The rock initially goes into Pau Gasol on the right block, but Josh Powell won't let the Spaniard into the paint, then Ross comes over to double to prevent an over-the-top jumper. Gasol is forced to kick it back out to Kobe Bryant on the perimeter. Cuttino Mobley rotates over onto Bryant quickly. Take Two. Bryant feeds it into Turiaf at the foul stripe with :07 left on the shot clock. Turiaf looks, holds, then looks again. The only thing he can find is Jordan Farmar way out on the perimeter. Farmer gets the ball with :04 against Brevin Knight. With :02 he takes a right-handed dribble, then steps right for a prayer of a 25-footer and it falls.
- [3rd, 11:02] The wheels come off early in the third period. The Lakers come down quickly and run an immediate high S/R with Fisher-Gasol. Fisher's little J is short, but Radmanovic swoops in for the rebound over Maggette. He dribbles it casually out to the arc while Maggette is complaining. Vlad is shocked that nobody has tailed him to the perimeter, so he just launches the uncontested 3PA.
Well, at least he gets his number on the other end.
- [3rd, 9:16] The Lakers are in transition. Powell has his guy – Odom. Ross is on Bryant, and Dickau is doing his best on Fisher. Kaman and Maggette are completely lost. Bryant recognizes this and feeds it to Radmanovic. Kaman tries to close and Maggette – who's responsible for Vlad – doesn't see the play until it's already over the shot has fallen.
- [3rd, 8:45] Picture perfect. The Lakers inbound the ball under their own basket. It goes into Bryant in the mid-post. Ross works him. Bryant tries to wiggle toward the paint. Just as he sees Dickau drop from the arc to double, Bryant kicks it out to Fisher. The Lakers have overloaded the weak side, so there's nobody to come over and rotate. Fisher sinks the 3PM.
I think the best way to double Bryant here is from the weak side instead of the perimeter, but who's counting?
- [3rd, 3:11] This is sort of a broken play. Bryant breezes down the court in transition. As he penetrates the lane, he fumbles it. There's a scrum for the ball, but Bryant recovers it and his momentum carries him to the arc. Mobley recovers, but Bryant steps back for a 3PA that goes through.
- [3rd, 2:41] A perfect offensive set. Bryant brings the ball up left side. He quickly feeds it into Gasol on the left low block. Powell has him covered, so Gasol quickly kicks it out to Odom on the arc. Luke Walton is literally being triple-teamed off the ball by Knight, Thomas, and Thornton. Anyway, Odom has the shot if he wants it, but instead he feeds it to an open Derek Fisher in the corner.
I've said it before – Brevin Knight is an awful team defender. There's this tendency to believe that, if a guy racks up a lot of steals, he must be a good defender – much the same way that if a guy puts up a lot of stolen bases, he must be a good baserunner, right? Let's call it the Juan Pierre Effect. Admittedly, Knight is a pretty solid on-ball defender against smaller point guards. But the minute the floor is spread and he's asked to make off-ball defensive decisions, he's horrendous. What he was doing in the paint on Walton I have no earthly idea.
- [3rd, 1:42] In transition off a Thornton miss. Bryant brings it up right side against a backpedaling Mobley. He pulls up at 26 feet and hits. No faulting Mobley here. It's one of those transcendent Bryant moments.
- [4th, 10:38] Off another offensive rebound, Walton grabs the ball. He's straddling the baseline, but managed to find Turiaf in the paint just below the foul line. Powell swiftly gets in his face, but Turiaf finds Vujacic alone in the left corner. Big surprise because Vujacic is never hanging out along the arc or anything. Maggette futilely tries to close.
At this point, it's a 32 point game and, if you're like me, you switched over to the Denver-San Antonio game.
I'd like to offer another endorsement of Josh Powell as a bona fide useful NBA piece. Back at NC State, he was an extremely active frontcourt player on both ends with more quickness than your average power forward. "Energy player" is a often a euphemism for a guy who is neither a small nor a power forward and I was initially skeptical that Powell could find a place on the floor except in those rare instances when a Boris Diaw-type is playing the 4, but his post defense has been solid. In addition, he's improving in help situations with each passing week. Offensively, his mid-range game is what I remember from his ACC days – instinctive and with a better touch than you'd think. Locking him up for 3 years for nothing looks better and better.

Rugby Overview | Detailed History | Images & Documents
Robert Walton, an Irishman who graduated from the University of Cork, was one of the first settlers to make Rugby, Tennessee, his home. When he first moved to the United States, Walton was named assistant City Engineer for Cincinnati, Ohio. In that capacity, he was hired to design the town of Rugby for its future settlers, choosing eventually to leave his post in Cincinnati and to stay in Rugby permanently. He designed the family home there and later served as surveyor and manager of the Rugby colony. After his death in 1907, his son William T. Walton held the role of manager until the land was sold to other American buyers.
Rugby settlement efforts had begun in 1878 when a group of Boston businessmen attracted the attention of English reformer Thomas Hughes and recruited him to become president of the "Board of Aid to Land Ownership." The colony, officially dedicated on October 5, 1880, was originally called Plateau City; however, Hughes found this title to be "neither good English nor good Yankee" and instead selected "some name round which cluster tender memories of the old Mother Land" (Sarah L. Walton, Memories of Rugby Colony, 5.). In fact, the name probably reminded Hughes of his alma mater, the Rugby School in Warwickshire, England. Hughes, known as a statesman, philanthropist, and Christian socialist, had received popular attention upon the publication of his novels Tom Brown's School Days and Tom Brown at Oxford. These books portrayed the life of Will Wimble, who was unable to pursue the kind of life he wished in England because of his situation as the second son of an aristocratic family. It was precisely this type of scenario – an old social custom that hindered many talented British men in real life from pursuing certain types of professions – that would motivate Hughes to establish Rugby. In 1880 Hughes wrote, "For every post by which a gentleman can live, there are one hundred candidates. . . . The pressure of this state of things has been driving our boys to America. . . . In England caste prejudice against manual labour is too strong. . . . Our Will Wimbles . . . must begin then across the seas" (Hamer, Marguerite Bartlett, "Thomas Hughes and His American Rugby," The North Carolina Historical Review 5, no. 4 [October 1928] 392). Although Hughes never actually resided in Rugby himself, he was responsible for much of the planning and development.
Hughes eventually served as the President of the Board of Aid, originally incorporated in 1862 by Boston capitalists. He first became involved (and ultimately merged) with the Board of Aid in 1878, sharing with these businessmen a desire to facilitate colonization in remote, unoccupied areas. The Boston Board of Aid led several excursions through the Central and Southwestern states before locating suitable land in east Tennessee. In 1879 a contract was drawn up between the Board and a New York firm for the purchase of the firm's lands in east Tennessee. The Board gained a controlling interest in around 35,000 acres, and purchased each acre for twenty cents to two dollars, although more than this was paid for some lands. Board members planned to sell the land to settlers for fifty cents to twenty-five dollars an acre, the higher price being for town commercial and villa lots.
By 1881 English interests had taken over the Board of Aid entirely; by that point more than three hundred colonists lived in Rugby. For a period of time, the settlers enjoyed a bustling cultural life reminiscent of British culture as they created their own community in the pristine environment of east Tennessee. The colonists published the Rugbeian, a newspaper edited by local Oxford graduates that circulated both inside the Rugby community and in England and Australia. The community opened a library after receiving donations of 7,000 bound volumes — some now of considerable value and age — in honor of Hughes. The three-story Tabard Inn, named after the hostelry in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, was built to lodge potential colonists and visitors and to entertain residents and their guests—some of the balusters from the original 1383 inn were brought to Tennessee to decorate the new building. Even a quaint Episcopal church, built in the Gothic style, was constructed and adorned with organ and altar hangings brought by the first group of settlers.
Settlers enjoyed newly created tennis courts and bridle paths, but unfortunately The community chose to build many of these amenities while neglecting more practical matters, such as the construction of roads, houses, and other buildings. Many of these luxury items were constructed while land disputes were being settled, so that at least some development—albeit impractical — could continue during the land negotiations. Adding to the settlers' woes was an 1881 typhoid epidemic that took seven lives in the small community. Many of the settlers' hopes for Rugby were never realized. Rugbians had envisioned a canning factory and had even designed elaborate labels for their products, but a drought left them with barely enough tomatoes to meet their own needs. Educating the young was another problem; the Arnold School, modeled after its English namesake, failed to live up to expectations. The failures of many other institutions at Rugby could be attributed to poor planning and lack of expertise. Rugby began its slow decline about seven years after it was founded, but it never disappeared altogether.
Rugby's greatest woes probably stemmed from poor management by the Board of Aid. Ultimately, confusion over rightful ownership of the land and the Board's sluggish management style (Thomas Hughes was often away when crises required his response, and decisions had to be made by the London office) led to the demise of the board and its mission. More than 52 lawsuits were brought against the Board, for their land surveys, deeds, and other records were often vaguely written or inaccurate as well as disorganized. The Board was reorganized a number of times, often under new names, with new American capital to add to the British holdings. Hughes died in 1896 after losing tens of thousands of dollars in his dream of an American utopia, and the Board itself was purchased by American stockholders early in the twentieth century. By this time, the Board still owned 25,000 acres of land, but most of the settlers had left the community.
A number of individuals, including William T. Walton and his wife, remained behind to attend to the church and library and to manage the publicly owned buildings. In the 1920s control over the Rugby Tennessee Land Company was turned over to Leland G. Banning, a Cincinnati capitalist. The Waltons continued to reside in Rugby until their deaths in the late 1950s.

As teenagers (the age when we really began to take note of fashion), if the TV was on, it's safe to bet that we were watching MTV. While we loved the renegade spirit of the network, the original shows like Daria, and the videos (oh, how we miss music videos!), we also adored the quirky VJs who provided the interviews and introductions. We were particularly drawn to the ladies, such as Kennedy and Downtown Julie Brown, for their irreverent senses of humor, totally relatable personalities, and amazingly offbeat outfits. And while American TV is a little light in the video-jockey department these days, we have long known that across the pond, the tradition is alive and well. Enter Jameela Jamil: the host of Britain's Freshly Squeezed and T4 presenter (a morning show and weekend programming on Britain's channel 4). Though she's got buckets of talent, it's her on-trend pastiche of grunge, glam, and retro style that really made us die-hard fans. Needless to say it's a stylish mix that we are totally wild about, so couldn't wait to spotlight her unique look in this month's installment of Girl of the Month!Though there is plenty to love about Jamil's outfits (particularly the five standout ensembles we have gathered for you today), before we try to sum up her stunning style, let us first provide you with a little introduction to our favorite new face! Before being hired at the beginning of 2009 to be the co-host of the Freshly Squeezed morning show and the T4 weekend programming on Britain's Channel 4, this native Londoner was a model. Clearly more than a pretty face, Jamil's cheeky and self-deprecating humor, along with her natural on-screen persona, and her retro-glam fashion choices make watching her on the telly, as they say, simply mesmerizing. And while we are sure that there are loads of people who are ready to proclaim Jam-Jam "the next Alexa Chung," we don't think she stands in anyone's shadow (no matter how well-heeled it may be!). Our GOTM definitely does her own noteworthy thing, especially when one considers how at ease this long-legged Londoner is with unabashedly feminine frocks, figure-hugging pieces, and other styles that play up her bombshell appeal in a subtly sexy way.
For our first featured look, we wanted to provide a little flavor of Jamil's fancier fare. As a regular on the London party scene, today's GOTM has a penchant for body-con strapless or sweetheart dresses, which allow her to smartly play up her curves. For the London premiere of The Ugly Truth this spring, Jamil opted for one such dress, specifically D & G's Ruffle Dress ($2295, 212.965.8000) from the Italian fashion house's Cruise 09 Collection. The tight bodice and voluminous skirt are wildly flattering on her figure, yet you needn't reach for a designer piece to get a similar final result. Try Forever 21's Ruffle Panel Tube Dress ($20), which mimics the shape and embellishments of Jamil's choice, and would be perfect for your next cocktail party (or red-carpet premiere, whichever comes first!)
Though Jamil looks lovely in high-end designer duds, she can also achieve a chic ensemble with more high-street attire. At the launch event for The Nokia Skate Almighty rink this July, Jamil went for a decidedly less-dressy piece but got an equally put together final result. Her crisp white Zara Blazer adds a little masculine polish to her casual breton stripe top and jean shorts. This outfit proves that the boyfriend blazer is going to continue to be on-trend and a key fall piece, so make sure to check out Topshop's Shoulderpad Jacket ($190) for an updated strong-shouldered take on this ecru must-have. Just throw it over a pair of cut-offs, like Free People's Blank Denim Shorts ($68) and a nautical-inspired top like Heritage 81's Patsy Striped Tank ($10) and you'll be making fashionable waves in no time at all.
Of course, our GOTM is not opposed to taking some risks when it comes to her fashion choices; in fact, Jamil has stated that she loves to add a twist to simple styles. Our favorite way that she does this is by adding an unexpected accessory like a chic chapeau or colorful statement footwear. While attending the annual Mercury Prize ceremony earlier this summer, the Londoner mixed noir second-skin skirt and graphic top with a little leather moto jacket. She topped off the look with a bowler hat, which added an offbeat element to her more basic black ensemble. Make sure to try Topshop's Bowler Hat ($44) with American Apparel's Interlock Mini Skirt ($25) and ASOS's Studded Leather Biker Jacket ($202) to get a look-a-like rendition of Jamil's renegade red-carpet style. Another way to inject a little bit of interest to your favorite outfit is to slip into a pair of brightly hued booties or sandals. Seen at the New Look A/W 2009 party, Jamil was spotted in a pair of Topshop teal sandals; though her current pair is no longer available, try Topshop's Shout Suede Peep Toe Shoe ($135) for a cheery sole selection.
For our final ensemble, we wanted to highlight Jamil's go-to summer festival ensemble (as it makes us a bit nostalgic for the just ended summer!). While we are the first to admit that the crop-top trend is a bit frightening for us mere humans, we can all agree that Jamil pulls it off (not only because she has the body, but also, because it's appropriate that she is wearing it to attend this summer's V Festival, where she hobnobbed with many musical acts like The Gossip and Little Boots). We also like that without being too literal, her ensemble references 90s grunge in a way that looks modern and current. While her American Apparel Loose Crop Tee ($17) in Crème and her Levi's 501 Cutoff Shorts ($48) would look fresh on their own, we like how she mixed these two casual classics together with a pair of vintage Justin boots and a chunky metallic necklace. For a similarly substantial soled selection, try Topshop's Albert Fringe Lace-Up Boots ($112) with your favorite short and shirt ensemble to avoid the mud or getting your toes stepped on if you dare to venture into any mosh-pits.
Needless to say, Jamil's proverbial star is on the rise. We, of course, will stay tuned in to watch this lovely lady's well-appointed ascension into the pantheon of video jockeys whose personality and fashion sense rock as much as their jobs do!-KM

GAME DAY: Islanders at Penguins, 7pm Mikko Koskinen Does Not Like Being Barreled Into
Who do you loathe more? The Penguins can take over first place in the Eastern Conference and Atlantic Divsion from the Rangers with a win tonight. And that makes an Isles loss which, of course, is an Isles loss. That sounds to me like a no-win situation for Isles fans but of course an Isles loss improves that draft position. Choose your rooting interests wisely.
Lineups tonight will be the same as Sunday, with Nino Niederreiter and Mark Eaton being the healthy scratches. So Niederreiter has been knocked down from fourth liner to healthy scratch…
And while we're at it, LHH has this video of prospect Mikko Koskinen — goalie Mikko Koskinen — getting in a fight in Finland after being run by an opposing player. I believe he is channeling his inner Garth Snow/Billy Smith.

It was a lovely story, I had to share this. I clicked "Share" when I realized I should check my facts first. One google search and I found out this wasn't a true story at all. At first I was mad.

Perception is Reality Apr 17, 2012"I'm mad at Miss Teacher. She always makes me come in from the rain last." I look at my young son. He turns five in a month. F-I-V-E. He is timeless like my sister, always thousands of years younger than reality. He has ideas now. He has opinions. He is wrong a lot. "I don't think that sounds right, Buddy." I look at him in the rear view mirror. "No! It is! I was upset because my best friend gets to come in and shut the door and I have to stand out in the rain. Miss Teacher said that I have to be last and I have to stand in the rain before I come in." Obviously I know this is not right. It can't be. This same teacher he is speaking of is the one who soothes my young son when I don't meet his unrealistic expectations of picking... Read more

How I got here in the first place Mar 30, 2012
#Travel#Life#Best Of#Working MomKids, I'm going to tell you a story*. This is a story about how I ended up sitting in an office outside of Nuremberg in a tiny town called Erlangen, Germany, which happens to be less than an hour's drive from where I was made. It's a true story. I get this question a lot lately, "What do you DO now, exactly," and I can not answer in full. I work on demos for automotive software companies. I create websites, mostly front-end now, for larger companies that know more than I do. I help organize strategies for content management, marketing communications, branding and messaging. I travel to a lot of amazing places and I meet a lot of amazing people. My job does not suck. I can tell you that. This particular story happens in Las Vegas, Nevada, where I was working...

GOUVERNEUR A Canton man who was injured in a car crash Tuesday said the cause was the improvement in weather.
State police said that at 11:47 a.m. on Route 11, Larry H. Briggs, 56, was traveling south when his 2004 Buick Century ran off the road and struck a mailbox owned by Blevins Ford dealership, before the vehicle came to a rest in a snowbank.
Troopers said when they initially interviewed Mr. Briggs about the cause of the accident, he said he was enjoying the beautiful weather and was distracted by the sun and the nice day.
Upon further investigation, troopers said they found open containers of alcohol in his vehicle.

We can't all be morning people… but we can definitely try! A great day starts the second you wake up in the morning and therefore you must have a good morning routine. Do you find yourself feeling like there is never enough time in the a.m.? For some people a routine is a strange word and it can be tough to get used to a regular routine.. However, if you are looking to find more balance in your life, then having a morning routine can really help you find that balance, as well aid in ensuring you wake up in time for work in the morning.
Here are some tips that can help develop a morning routine:
Doctors recommend eight hours of a sleep a night in order to get enough energy to get through the day. However, if you are a workaholic, then you probably go to bed thinking about work. Try to relax by watching your favorite TV show, listening to tranquil music, or reading a book.
An alarm clock is a key tool to waking up on time and establishing a healthy routine.Whether you decide to invest in an alarm clock or opt to simply set an alarm on your phone, a reliable alarm is vital to getting up on time in the morning.
You may feel rejuvenated with a little bit of exercise in the morning. You don't have to go all out – a simple routine of 10 jumping-jacks and 20 sit-ups will help you feel energized and ready to take on the world.
By saving your daily morning tasks for the night prior, you can save a good half hour in your morning routine. Try washing your hair and choosing an outfit the night before – you'd be surprised at how much time you save!
Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.Try grabbing something easy and quick like a breakfast bar.Next, save time by making your own coffee.Keep in mind that by making your own coffee, you will not have to stop at a local store on your way to work.Try a reliable and affordable Cuisinart coffee maker and parts that will make it easy to make and grab a cup of joe while on the go in the morning.
It may take some time and consistency to enforce a well-balanced morning routine, so try keeping track of your morning habits. However, by going to bed at a reasonable hour, setting an alarm, working out, and taking care of your morning tasks the night before, you can ensure you have enough time in the morning to get ready, as well save time by making your own coffee.

From small cafes to large hotels, businesses and homeowners throughout the world enjoy serving the morning's coffee using these impeccable machines. We offer affordable Cuisinart coffee maker parts so that you too can enjoy some of the world's best-tasting and aromatic coffee.
We offer Cuisinart parts so that if your treasured coffee maker develops a problem, there is no need to get an entirely new machine.

In addition, we offer coffee maker cleaner to help extend the lifespan of the appliance and improve the taste of the coffee.
Cuisinart coffee makers brew a full pot of coffee quickly and with little effort required by the owner. Over many years of use, parts such as the carafe or water filter might need to be replaced. Replacement requires a much smaller monetary investment than purchasing a brand new Cuisinart system. Replacing worn out parts is also better for the environment, as less resources are needed and less waste is generated in creating one part instead of a new system. With our replacement parts, you can enjoy the same fantastic coffee that you are used to drinking.
Brewing a fresh, hot cup of coffee at home is one of life's simplest pleasures. Our Cuisinart coffee maker parts make it cost effective and easy to put the coffee maker on each morning as you get ready for your day. With the right parts, you never have to worry about your Cuisinart machine breaking down. You can have coffee just the way you like it every morning when you use our Cuisinart coffee maker replacement parts with your Cuisinart products.
Coffee water filters are a great way to improve the taste and health of your morning brew for the better.
Don't believe us? Wondering how a simple filter could make such a dramatic difference to your coffee?
Consider the facts:
Clearly, the best thing that you can do for your taste buds and wellbeing is to invest (as soon as possible) in our Krups coffee maker water filter. It is easy to use and replace and works well in either a home or workplace setting. In addition, the filter helps to reduce lime scale buildup, enabling you to clean the machine less often. Replacing the filter can be done in mere minutes and is only necessary once every two or three months. Once you have started using a filter, you will notice a significant improvement in the smell and taste of your coffee, allowing you to enjoy it more, worry-free.
For coffee lovers, the first cup in the morning is the one they look forward to the most. Brewing or dripping, its aromatic scent wafts throughout the house, enticing the enthusiast to have that first tantalizing cup of Joe; however, if that cup ends up being underwhelming, it can be a real disappointment, which is why it is necessary to get a quality coffee maker to ensure the best brew.
Our Krups coffee maker is one of the most popular of its type on the market. Its unique system uses our specially-designed water filter to ensure that each cup of coffee is properly strained and the result is a rich, bold, and delicious cup of coffee without the grounds and unnatural flavors to mar the experience.
Our Krups coffee maker features an activated charcoal system that results in cleaner water by reducing sediments, chlorine, and other impurities that distract from the subtle notes of the coffee's flavor. Tap water can have unpleasant odors as well as disagreeable tastes, but the Krups filter takes care of it all. The filter also promotes a longer machine life for your coffee maker by minimizing lime scale build up.
The activated duo charcoal filter will fit most Krups models and promises a clean, clear, untainted cup of coffee so that whether it is the first cup of the day or the last, people will enjoy each sip.
Filters should be changed regularly to maintain the satisfying taste of the coffee, so it is always best to have extras on hand. That way when unexpected guests or company arrive, you will always be prepared to offer them a delicious cup of coffee. For the sake of convenience, Krups offers a wide variety of filter packs available in quantities ranging in number from two to twelve.
Drinking a cup of coffee is one thing; thoroughly enjoying it is another. The Krups coffee maker water filter ensures that each cup will taste the way it was intended to.
Cuisinart is the top of the line when it comes to equipment for your kitchen. You can rely on the quality and durability of the company's blenders to make healthy drinks and food for your family. Think of their blenders, coffee makers and other appliances as the best investment you can make for your kitchen.
Should the need arise to replace items that wear out or break due to some unforeseen circumstance--such as your son trying to blend his toy soldiers-- investing in the right replacement parts for the piece rather than buying a new one is a smart move. Cuisinart blender parts will ensure your purchase will last for years to come. While, generic parts may not guarantee your appliance will work well or last and may damage your appliance beyond repair, the specific parts for the equipment will save you money you might have spent on a completely new item.
Common replacement parts include
• Sealing gaskets- These should be replaced when stiff or cracked. This prevents liquid from leaking out of the container.
• Blades- These dull over time. Sharp blades will work faster and better to ensure that everything you make comes out the way that you want it to.
• Jar lids- These can crack or melt in kitchen accidents.
• Jar lid fill caps- These are easy to replace. You can keep several on hand to hold items you need to place in the blender for sauces and other creations.
• Blender collars- These take a lot of abuse from being twisted on and off repeatedly.
Your blender is capable of creating sauces, baby food, drinks, desserts, etc., and can make your kitchen the easiest place to work and relax in your home. By using Cuisinart blender parts, you are investing in equipment that won't simply break down after a year or so, but will last for possibly decades to come.
While juicing diets are extremely popular, we caution our customers that they can't simply get by with pre-made juices from the store. Many of the consumer products labeled as fruit juices fail to provide the wholesome nutrition commonly found in the fresh juices people make at home. They simply substitute actual nutritional content for concentrates and sugars that taste good but don't do much for people's health. Finding the right Hurom juicer parts is one of the best ways to successfully complete a juicing diet.
Many juicing diets and regimens have demonstrable results, but they only work when done the right way. Dieters must continue to intake the proper vitamins and nutrients throughout the course of their juice fasts. If they don't, their bodies may increase the rate at which they store fats as a result of nutritional intake stress. The most effective juice cleanses and diets therefore, incorporate a wide range of fruits and vegetables.
For instance, many people believe that there's a magic bullet or combination of foods that will succeed for everyone. On the contrary, juicing diets usually work because they can be easily tailored to each individual. Unlike most of the processed food products people buy in supermarkets, juice cleanses let people incorporate variety that fits their dietary needs as they make progress.
Although many people have great results with strict juice fasts, many also incorporate macrobiotic foots and vegetarian protein sources. Doing this can drastically improve an individual's ability to maintain diets for longer time periods and achieve positive results. It also means, however, that high-quality Hurom juicer parts are in even more demand to help people process tougher plant materials like wheatgrass and citrus pith.
Whether you're a die-hard juicer or just someone who juices occasionally, we have the juicer parts you need to keep your appliances running smoothly.
Men's shavers are expensive tools that are needed to be used most commonly on a daily basis. That is, men typically use their electric shavers once a day on end and typically try to get a maximum of two years out of the life of their shaver. Braun, an industry leader in home electronics has developed highly advanced and technical men's electric shavers that are durable and of the highest quality in the industry. When shavers are used at a high level and need to be fixed or repaired, it is lesser expensive to purchase parts for the shaver versus having to buy a whole new system. Braun shaver parts are available and can easily fix the mechanism and the tool by simply replacing specific parts instead of having to purchase a whole new system.
While many would feel that men are the most to use electric shavers, there is also steady demand for women's shaving products. At the end of the day, the average consumer (both men and women) will shave once a day. In that, these products are used more than 350 times per year which makes them highly susceptible to requiring a replacement or repair.
Braun is a well-known industry name for their leading innovation and quality of products. Using a product from this line of company is highly recommended as consumers crave high quality in addition to innovation and product pricing. Braun shavers for both men and women are highly durable and advanced products that are in constant demand by households everywhere.
What type of parts can require replacement for shavers? The most common are the blades and heads of the electric shaver. That is, the blade and the precision and sharpness of the head are the most important component of the shaver. Over time, these wear down due to extensive usage and will need to be replaced. Having a very sharp blade on the end of the electric shaver is important to ensuring a precise and accurate cut is being made each time. Another important replacement part is the power adaptor cord. While this seems as though it is not in high demand, oftentimes the adaptor cord is misplaced and it is challenging if not impossible to find. The majority of Braun electric shavers are rechargeable internal batteries that require to be plugged in to the wall after use to recharge. Countless times these cords can be easily misplaced and the shaver can be left without a charge.
Replacing certain parts of an electric shaver is more cost effective than replacing the unit as a whole. Consider replacing parts individually to save time and money.

It turns out, however, that the set of rational numbers is infinite in a very different way from the set of irrational numbers.

Shimano M540 MTB SPD Pedals are an open design pedal at an economical price. The open binding mechanism is designed to shed mud more effectively, making it easier to clip in or out when the trails are muddy or if you're doing multiple creek crossings. They have adjustable tension, low maintenance sealed cartridge bearings and a chrome-moly axle so they're light, strong and work as well as any MTB SPD pedal in Shimano's lineup.
The M540's lightweight axle will not accept a regular pedal wrench. Do you have a multi tool or a set of metric allen wrenches? That's what you'll need to install your new pedals (and the cleats for that matter). Click the link to see our selection of multi tools.
Had these for a long time now. Pros- Shed mud well. Easy to adjust and clip into. Have been very durable. Strong well functioning pedal and a great price. Cons heavy if compared to some of the very expensive pedals. For the money you cant go wrong.
Bought a set of these to replace my worn out Time Atac pedals. They are lighter and they have a great feel and satisfying "click" when you clip in. Very good at shedding mud too. My local trails are often very muddy and I have no problem with clogged pedals.
This pedals are almost Xt, the only difference is like 10grms and the logo....
These are my first set of SPD pedals and work great for me. I'm really happy of buying these instead of the M505 model, because this set allow the mud to clear on the open areas and I've done a lot of riding on wet conditions. They also seem to be really easy to service according the videos on you tube, but after heavy using them for 6 months I think there is no need to do that yet.
I prefer the XT's to these
This was my first pair of clipless pedals. I was unsure If I wanted to go clipless but these pedals helped me decide I did. They are Lightweight. Easy to install. Easy to adjust. Overall great pedals.
Purchased these fro my 12 year son as his first pair of clipless pedals. The adjustability is great for beginners
After almost 20 years on Shimano M515 pedals, I retired those to my commuter and bought the M540 pedals. Funtionally they are so similar, I barely notice a difference apart from a little better hold, and engagement from the M540. They are solidly built and would probably damage any wall i lean the bike against, haha. No doubt in my mind I'm buying these again if i ever had to.
Great pedal for the money. They engage and disengage really well. They replaced a set of M520's, and the quality of the M540's is noticeable. Shimano cleats last way longer than the Time cleats - I've found with Time pedals, was buying new cleats every 6 months. Would highly recommend these pedals.
I haven't used the xt pedals, but these are very close in weight and work perfectly for me. I like the all metal look.
So...I've been biking since is was like....5 years old and I am just trying the clip-in pedals. I know, I know...don't judge me...i'm lame. I am also very excited. I swapped out my mt. bike flat pedals over the weekend with my brand NEW Shimano SPD pedals and clipped in for the very 1st time. I was nervous and apprehensive but, I have to say, I love them so far. Price Point was great. they offered the pedals at a great price and they shipped wicked-fast. I can say right now,I'll be using this website a great deal in the future. Cheers- John Kirk Louisville, CO
I've been riding 540s for years. Great engagement, reliable and cheap. Only downside compared to XT or XTR is they weight slightly more.
I've been mountain biking for about 20+ years and up until a few years ago, I was riding flats. I bought these as my first pair of SPD pedals and they have been flawless. They are extremely durable and require practically zero maintenance. I highly recommend these pedals for someone looking to upgrade from flats and increase their speed and efficiency on the bike.
