PAWTUCKET — Many readers enjoyed the story that appeared in the Times of bride-to-be Beth Coakley and her "corn crop dress." The satin and lace bridal gown, first worn by Coakley's great-aunt, Mary Gantz Bader, in 1949, had been passed down to a bride in every generation of her mother's family after that, from the 1950s to the 1990s.
Coakley is happy to report that the heirloom dress officially stood the test of time at her Aug. 31 nuptials to Pawtucket native Robert M. Bedard on Cape Cod, and she provided the wedding photos to prove it.
With its high-buttoned neck, long tapered sleeves and generous train, the antique, cream-colored satin gown evokes the charm of yesteryear and the farmer's daughter who first wore it. According to family lore, Coakley's great-grandparents had grown a bountiful crop of corn in the fall of 1948, which yielded the $300 used to purchase the dress.
Yet, the gown looks as though it was tailor-made for Coakley, who added her own touch by using a piece of lace from the collar—the only time something on the dress was replaced—to create the short "birdcage" veil that she wore on her headpiece.
"The dress was temporarily tacked up for two of the shorter brides. You can see where the stitches were if you look closely," she said. "But it has never been taken in or let out."
Coakley said that the wedding and reception were held at the Cape Wind resort in Falmouth, Mass.
"The ceremony, which was outdoors in a shady grove overlooking the water, included the reading of blessings sent in by family and friends, as well as a unity bouquet," she said. She added that Michael Bedard, cousin of the groom, was the Justice of the Peace, and Abigail Coakley, cousin of the bride, was the flower girl. The groom was dashingly clad in a cutaway-style tuxedo from Roberts Formals.
The reception was held in a large tent, with 125 guests in attendance. Among them were Susan and James Coakley, parents of the bride; Vivian Beaudette, mother of the groom, and Robert Joseph Bedard, father of the groom.
Five of the other brides who had worn the dress were also present. Besides Beth's mother Susan, they included Janet Gantz Falcone, Susan Gantz Coakley, Barbara Gantz Frizzell, Barbara Falcone Smith, and Beverly Bader Buckley, said Coakley. Her great-aunt Mary, the original owner of the gown, is living in a nursing home and couldn't attend, and the second of the "corn crop brides," her great-aunt Dorothy Gantz Tigerman, has passed away.
Following the ceremony, the newlyweds drove off in their 1941 Ford, while guests enjoyed Big Band music at the cocktail hour. The couple's first dance was to "A Moment Like This," by Kelly Clarkson. Coakley added, "The weather was overcast all day Saturday with a few sprinkles before the ceremony began in the afternoon. There were loud thunderstorms in the middle of the night."
Coakley said the weekend event started with a "meet and greet" reception for all wedding guests under the tent Friday night and wrapped up on Sunday evening with a private sunset tour of Nobska Lighthouse in Woods Hole, followed by a campfire back at the Cape Wind.
Bedard, who works as a custodian at Slater Junior High School, met Coakley when she was a teacher there. The couple lives in Pawtucket, where Beth works for the Child Opportunity Zone (COZ).
And the dress? "It is definitely going to be preserved," said Coakley (now Mrs. Beth Bedard). "We're not sure who might choose to wear it next. My cousin Barb (corn crop bride number six) has two daughters who are 9 and 11 years old. Also, I think Mary (the original bride) has two granddaughters who are not yet married."

Buzz: The Rangers May Be OUT On Rick Nash
6:54PM: "Darren Dreger sent out these two tweets, Hard to blame NYR for not blowing up team to make Nash trade. For sake of deadline,let's hope CBJ softens to keep possibility of trade open."
"NYR wasn't willing to pay price established for Nash prior to today + today CBJ asked for more than they were originally after"
6:08PM: Carp from Rangers Report tweets: "Wow. Sounds as if, not only are the Rangers out on Nash, but they don't expect any major moves by the deadline. Surprised? I am."
5:42PM: Katie Strang tweets, "Doesn't appear Rangers are willing to concede to CBJ demands. At this point, NYR considered out of running for Nash"
#SNtrade. Going into Sunday nite, its sounding like #Rangers have backed out on the Nash sweepstakes. #Bluejackets demands remain too rich.
— Nick Kypreos (@RealKyper) February 26, 2012
5:16PM: Katie Strang tweets:
Things could always change at last minute/tmrw, but at this point doesn't appear Nash to Rangers is going to happen
Original Post: Bob McKenzie tweets that the teams with the most interest in Rick Nash are starting to switch their focus to other targets and don't think that the will be traded by the deadline.
McKenzie adds that it could just be a negotiating tactic by Columbus.

David Copperfield (Bantam Classics)by Charles Dickens
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Of all Dickens's novels, David Copperfield most fervently embraces the comic delights, the tender warmth, the tragic horrors of childhood. It is our classic tale of growing up, an enchanting story of a gently orphan discovering life and love in an indifferent adult world. Persecuted by his wrathful stepfather, Mr. Murdstone; deceived by his boyhood idol, the callous, charming Steerforth; driven into mortal combat with the sniveling clerk Uriah Heep; and hurled, pell-mell, into a blizzard of infatuation with the adorably dim-witted Dora, he survives the worst—and the best—with inimitable style, his bafflement tuming to self-awareness and his unbridles young heart growing ever more disciplined and true.
Of this richly autobiographical novel Dickens himself wrote, "like many fond parents, I have in my heart of hearts a favorite child. And his name is David Copperfield."
Intimately rooted in the author's own biography and written as a first-person narrative, this work charts a young man's progress through a difficult childhood in Victorian England to ultimate success as a novelist, finding true love along the way.
About the Author
Charles Dickens was born in a little house in Landport, Portsea, England, on February 7, 1812. The second of eight children, he grew up in a family frequently beset by financial insecurity. At age eleven, Dickens was taken out of school and sent to work in London backing warehouse, where his job was to paste labels on bottles for six shillings a week. His father John Dickens, was a warmhearted but improvident man. When he was condemned the Marshela Prison for unpaid debts, he unwisely agreed that Charles should stay in lodgings and continue working while the rest of the family joined him in jail. This three-month separation caused Charles much pain; his experiences as a child alone in a huge city-cold, isolated with barely enough to eat-haunted him for the rest of his life.
When the family fortunes improved, Charles went back to school, after which he became an office boy, a freelance reporter and finally an author. With Pickwick Papers (1836-7) he achieved immediate fame; in a few years he was easily the post popular and respected writer of his time. It has been estimated that one out of every ten persons in Victorian England was a Dickens reader. Oliver Twist (1837), Nicholas Nickleby (1838-9) and The Old Curiosity Shop (1840-41) were huge successes. Martin Chuzzlewit (1843-4) was less so, but Dickens followed it with his unforgettable, A Christmas Carol (1843), Bleak House (1852-3), Hard Times (1854) and Little Dorrit (1855-7) reveal his deepening concern for the injustices of British Society. A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Great Expectations (1860-1) and Our Mutual Friend (1864-5) complete his major works.
Dickenss marriage to Catherine Hoggarth produced ten children but ended in separation in 1858. In that year he began a series of exhausting public readings; his health gradually declined. After putting in a full days work at his home at Gads Hill, Kent on June 8, 1870, Dickens suffered a stroke, and he died the following day.

|Wyant Off To Good Start With Rams
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Thursday, 24 March 2011 14:45
Former Watauga High baseball player Josh Wyant is having the time of his life.And for a guy, who was concerned about playing college baseball a year ago, Wyant is living out his dream in a big way at Winston-Salem State University, a Division II school in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The former Pioneers has played in 11 games this spring, including seven starts. He's batting .333 with seven hits, including two doubles, three runs scored and four runs-batted-in.
Wyant had an RBI double on Wednesday in a game-one, double-header loss to Augusta State. And he was 1-3 in game two as the Rams (17-11) rallied to win, 6-3.
Wyant put up some big numbers for the Pioneers last spring after he transferred in from Maiden High School. Wyant batted .374 with a home run, six doubles and 20 RBI. He also had a .426 slugging percentage. Pitching-wise, Wyant didn't give up a run in three appearances with a save.
Wyant excelled in three sports at WHS last season---cross country, swimming and baseball. And for his efforts he earned the Trailblazer Award, which goes to the top senior athlete participating in multi-sporting events.

At Ithaca College, we are privileged to be part of a rich community that values diversity of opinion and background. We believe that such diversity is essential to promote an environment of dialogue and learning.
Ithaca College has adopted a strategic plan for diversity as part of its vision of educational excellence known as IC 20/20. The plan commits us to energetic action with respect to increasing the diversity of our community, making diversity a more central part of every student's educational experience, and creating a campus climate that celebrates its diversity. The plan includes a set of goals, implementation strategies, and key performance indicators to guide our planning and decision making. Every senior leader at the College includes at least one diversity-related goal among their annual objectives.
It is impossible to convey every facet of diversity at Ithaca College within one website. It is our hope, however, that members of the campus community will use this as one tool to help learn how the College realizes its institutional plan to "enhance the diversity of students, faculty, and staff and create a supportive environment…for the entire College community." The site contains links to information on past, present and future programs, reports and initiatives.
Please visit this website frequently for updates on upcoming events and activities. I hope we can all be aware of our roles and responsibilities in ensuring the vitality and diversity of our learning community.

16 U.S. Code § 3741 - Findings
prev | next
The Congress finds the following:
(1) Three-fourths of all American children and adults participate in wildlife-related recreational activities other than hunting, fishing and trapping.
(3) The United States and Canada are inhabited by approximately two thousand six hundred vertebrate species of native fish and wildlife, which have provided food, clothing, and other essentials to a rapidly expanding human population.
(4) Over 80 percent of vertebrate fish and wildlife species in North America are not harvested for human use.
(5) The continued well-being of this once-abundant fish and wildlife resource, and even the very existence of many species, is in peril.
(6) In 1967, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service reported that forty-five common migratory bird species, which are not hunted, had exhibited significant declines in abundance, and that thirteen of these species have experienced widespread, systematic declines of 46.9 percent during a twenty-year study period.
(8) Over two hundred and seventy-five of vertebrate fish and wildlife species in the United States are now officially classified as threatened or endangered by the Federal Government.
(9) During the past decade, fish and wildlife species, including invertebrates, were added to the rapidly growing list of threatened and endangered species in North America at the average rate of over one per month.
(10) Currently, eighty-two species of invertebrates in the United States are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act [16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.], and another nine hundred and fifty-one United States invertebrate species are candidates for listing under that Act.
(11) Proper management of fish and wildlife, before species become threatened or endangered with extinction, is the key to reversing the increasingly desperate status of fish and wildlife.
(12) Proper fish and wildlife conservation includes not only management of fish and wildlife species taken for recreation and protection of endangered and threatened species, but also management of the vast majority of species which fall into neither category.
(13) Partnerships in fish and wildlife conservation, such as the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Program, the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Program, and the North American Wetlands Conservation Act [16 U.S.C. 4401 et seq.] have benefitted greatly the conservation of fish and wildlife and their habitats.
(14) A program that encourages partnerships among Federal and State governments and private entities to carry out wildlife conservation and appreciation projects would benefit all species of fish and wildlife through such activities as management, research, and interagency coordination.
(15) Many States, which are experiencing declining revenues, are finding it increasingly difficult to carry out projects to conserve the entire array of diverse fish and wildlife species and to provide opportunities for the public to associate with, enjoy, and appreciate fish and wildlife through nonconsumptive activities.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Men's Basketball team had a big win in their sights on Saturday afternoon until visiting Grinnell College got hot from three-point range on the way to a 102-98 win in front of 1,800 in Flood Arena.
The Buccaneers took some control of the game in the first ten minutes, going on a 9-0 run to move out front 22-13 midway through the half. Grinnell pulled back to within three at 29-26 with a 13-7 run three minutes later but Beloit responded with a 10-3 run to go back on top by ten. They stretched their lead as high as 12 in the last minute before settling for a 47-38 lead at the break.
The Bucs got their biggest lead with 9:45 left in the second half at 75-60 before a five-minute 24-9 run by the Pioneers, fueled by six three-pointers, tied it up at 84-84 with 4:12 remaining. Beloit got the lead back up to five with just over two minutes left but another three-pointer capped a GC run and game them a 98-95 advantage with 27 seconds left. The Buccaneers got within two with five seconds remaining but that was as close as they'd get.
Steve McAfee, Jr. had a career-high 30 points, 21 in the first half, to lead Beloit. James Lazarcik had 25 points and 15 rebounds, his tenth double-double of the season. Grant Henricksen added 11 points while Tyler Butke had ten. Marcus Ford dished out nine assists while Chris Bremner had six.
The Buccaneers look to get back in the win column on Wednesday night at Lawrence University in Appleton. Tipoff is at 7:00 p.m.

Read: How Donald Fehr and the Players Responded To The NHL's Offer
At TSN, Bob McKenzie obtained a letter that Donald Fehr sent to the players and their agents last night following the NHL's offer of a new CBA.
Fehr says, "The proposal does represent movement from their last negotiating position, but still represents very large, immediate and continuing concessions by players to owners, in salary and benefits (the Players' Share) and in individual player contracting rules."
In another excerpt, Fehr said "Simply put, the owners' new proposal, while not quite as Draconian as their previous proposals, still represents enormous reductions in player salaries and individual contracting rights. As you will see, at the 5 per cent industry growth rate the owners predict, the salary reduction over six years exceeds $1.6 billion. What do the owners offer in return?"
Fehr says that the next few days will be spent trying to figure out if the NHL is serious about coming to terms on an agreement.
Brad Boyes said to Craig Custance at ESPN, "It's a step in the right direction. There are still significant givebacks and concessions from the players in this new proposal but it is definitely their first serious offer."

Only three short months have passed since University of California paleoanthropologist Tim White cautioned his fellow evolutionary colleagues about being overeager to name new species and "overinterpreting" the alleged diversity seen in hominid fossils (2003a). But, oh, how former advice is forgotten when it is your day to be in the media spotlight! And that is exactly where Tim White is.
The June 12, 2003, cover of Nature has a striking series of photos announcing White's latest find. There—emblazoned on the cover under the title "African Origins"—is a subtitle that boldly announces "Ethiopian fossils are the earliest Homo sapiens." Headlines declaring "Oldest Homo sapiens fossils found" appeared in almost every major media outlet. In fact, MSNBC even sent out "news bites" that appeared on pagers and cellular phones, stating:
OLDEST HUMAN FOSSILS DISCOVERED: Homo sapiens fossils found in Ethiopia are the oldest known found, making them a key link between pre-human and modern humans.
OLDEST HUMAN FOSSILS DISCOVERED: Homo sapiens fossils found in Ethiopia are the oldest known found, making them a key link between pre-human and modern humans.
White and his colleagues have designated this "latest and greatest" find as Homo sapiens idaltu—the new subspecies name "idaltu" (meaning elder) being taken from the African Afar language.
While the names of the paleoanthropologists, the locations of the fossils, or the name given to a new fossil discovery may change, the story remains the same: Evolutionists claim to have made a "landmark discovery" that will "change the way people think about their own history." Or, the suggestion is offered that such and such a find "documents beyond doubt that evolution occurred in the past, and will shake up the evolutionary tree of life." While some admit that "these fossils raise more questions and contradict some of the previous data observed," the bottom line always goes something like this: "Our find sets a new age record, making it the most important (and, by the way, we would appreciate more funding in the future)." OK, so that last little bit is not usually included in the media clips, but it is true all the same. These researchers are dependent on grants, and those grants commonly are awarded based on past achievement(s). Thus, the researcher who can grab the most spotlight, pound his or her chest the loudest, and claim "fifteen minutes of fame," likely will be rewarded in the end (including making a considerable sum on the side for writing a book on the "most important" find in human history!).
So what did Tim White and his colleagues really find? The very first sentence in an on-line National Geographic report states: "Three fossil skulls recovered from the windswept scrabble of Ethiopia's dry and barren Afar rift valley lend archaeological credence to the theory that modern humans evolved in Africa before spreading around the world" (Roach, 2003). Three fossilized skulls? Well, not exactly. In commenting on the find, Chris Stringer noted: "Three individuals are represented by separate fossils: a nearly complete adult cranium (skull parts excluding lower jaw), a less complete juvenile cranium, and some robust cranial fragments from another adult" (2003, 423:692). The truth is, the third "skull" is so fragmented that White and his colleagues chose not to even include a photo of it in their report in Nature. They found some bone fragments, and from those they composed an adult skull and part of a juvenile skull (with some leftovers remaining unused).
The Nature article contains some good science, in that the researchers did uncover some fossils. They put them together (as they thought they best fit). They took them back to the lab, made measurements, and compared them with other anthropometric data. But that's where the good science stops, and speculation begins. In an effort to help fill in some gaps that recently have been found in the evolutionary theory, White and his colleagues painted a "before" picture that was intended to help explain away and fill the gaps. Recently, evolutionists have had a hard time explaining just how man evolved "out of Africa," when researchers were finding Neanderthal fossils in Europe. How could this occur, when previously, evolutionists asserted that Homo sapiens had evolved from Neanderthals and then left Africa? Enter the "side-by-side" theory. This latest twist has both modern humans and Neanderthals coexisting in many of the same regions, including Europe. That helped explain the Neanderthal fossils in Europe, but evolutionists still needed evidence in Africa to back up their claims. Alas, Tim White, and his coworkers have saved the day. They not only speculated how their new find fits into the "out of Africa" theory, but also went on to note: "When considered with the evidence from other sites, this shows that modern human morphology emerged in Africa long before the Neanderthals vanished from Eurasia" (2003b, 423:746-747).
This latest find is nothing more than a modern human that has been dated (using evolutionary methods) at 154,000-160,000 years old. When you disregard the dating (due to the inherent evolutionary assumptions), you will see that White and his colleagues found nothing more than bone fragments from two adults and a child (Homo sapiens) who once lived in Africa. That's it. End of story. Tim White would do well to re-read his recent cautionary advice to his evolutionary colleagues, regarding hastily assigning new names for every bone fragment discovered. But grant money is needed, and so the spotlight will continue to shine…at least until the next "latest, greatest, and most important fossil discovery" comes along.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Silver's drawing more and more attention as an investment these days, especially from China.
That appetite has made silver bulls giddy and lifted prices closer to a record.
"Investment demand, not industrial demand, is what drives silver prices right now," said Mark Thomas, author of email-alert service provider SilverPriceAdvisor.com. "World investment demand is starting to really pick up."
China factory demand's good sign
The HSBC Purchasing Managers Index for January is the latest sign of a rebound in China's economy. The WSJ's Aaron Back explains what is driving the recent turnaround.
Chinese citizens are "now buying silver because gold topped out in 2011 and silver is much more affordable," said Thomas, a silver bull who has recently tripled his exposure to the white metal.
And silver is starting to outshine gold. See Commodities Corner: Gold bulls come out of hiding.
As of Thursday's settlement on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, silver US:SIH3 has outperformed gold US:GCG3 with futures prices trading 5% higher this year, compared with a 0.4% loss in gold, and some analysts are touting the white metal's prospects to achieve a record high this year. Read more on daily gold and silver trading.
Silver is "facing just as good a year, if not better, than the yellow metal," said Jan Skoyles, head of research at The Real Asset Company, a precious-metals investment platform provider.
Silver is undervalued next to gold, has a finite and rapidly decreasing supply and it's more accessible in greater quantities than gold, she said. All of these factors are "falling into place and becoming more acute, which therefore has driven up silver investment demand."
At just under $32 an ounce, silver's just a fraction of gold's per-ounce cost of nearly $1,670, making it more affordable to the masses.
And in what some traders saw as a good sign of investment demand, the United States Mint earlier this month said it temporarily sold out of 2013 American Eagle Silver Bullion coins and suspended sales until the week of Jan. 28. Read The Tell blog: U.S Mint sells out of silver coins.
"The increased demand for silver coins, as well as record holdings in silver-backed [exchanged-traded products], indicate that increasing numbers of people are looking to protect themselves with wealth-preserving assets," said Skoyles.
Holdings in silver global ETPs stood at more than 600 million ounces as of Jan. 18, compared with just over 300 million in late 2008, according to data from ETF Securities.
Investment interest in China is a standout and is expected to see further growth in the years ahead.

Mrs. Flinger: A work in progress
Fixing Mrs. Flinger Feb 20, 2015
I'm currently working on this website. I want to add back the links to blogs I love, some ways to find content easier, and put in archive, at last, some of the ancient articles. Come back to see updates.
Pig Jun 25, 2010I know we just got started here but I think it's time we maybe took it a bit slower, we're moving way too fast. What? I'm talking about cooking weirdo. Do you like pig? I don't but I cook it for my loved ones. I can only tell you when I make this it is greedily devoured over a couple of days…oh and complimented profusely. This requires a crock pot….do you have one? Does your neighbor? Grandma? Local goodwill? Don't hate the crock, it is one of my very best friends and deserves a place in everyones kitchen. In fact I have two. So grab yourself a crock pot of decent size (not one of those little dip thing-a-majigs) and give this a shot. Carnitas 2 pounds of boneless pork, you can use shoulder or loin, my boys prefer loin. In a small bowl stir... Read more
I might love mushrooms Jun 24, 2010If you don't like mushrooms look away now, I'm not going to be fucking around ONE BIT straight out of the gate here, there is NO sub for this recipe, don't even ask, I'll get pissed. I figure if you don't like mushrooms then you are doing something wrong. Or maybe someone ruined them for you while using a can opener to crack open their idea of mushrooms….MUSHROOMS DO NOT BELONG IN CANS DO NOT USE THEM OUT OF SUCH. Mushrooms should be firm, they should not be saggy and wrinkly, they should smell of clean earth not moldy earth. The tops should be gently washed, if you feel you must wash the underside do it quickly so they don't absorb tap water. See? easy. Oh, and don't pick them out of your yard unless you are some sort of experienced... Read more

Stealing Time: One Locked Bathroom Door At A Time Jun 21, 2010I've been working on the revision of this site for a very, very, very long time. I grabbed an amazing illustrator and graphic artist from Design Tramp to illustrate me. With the patience of a fucking saint, he drew and re-drew and added pieces to my design elements. Which I then took and hacked all to hell because I changed my mind. Again. So, without taking any credit for the elements on the page (seriously, HE IS AMAZING), I can say I hacked the psd to bits, added some elements, threw in some font-squirrel font-kits and TEXT SHADOWS OMNOMNOM.

Remember when we were young? Jun 04, 2010
#Life#Getting to know me#Working MomForgive me for letting Dawn Landes speak for me but I could not have come up with better lyrics. After a week of escape, of enjoying people and places from far away, it's difficult to look at the Things To Do list and not fantasies of a plane and a hot, steamy week in Paris, or Rome, or London. I told Mr. Flinger I wanted to have a wild hot affair in a far off land and he's welcome to join me. Sometimes songs do more justice than the muddled ramblings of a mom with young children. And a new job. And a new house. And it's not that I don't love all these things, I just… well… Remember when we were young?

I am highly wary of the term feminism. I've found those that practice this particular ideology don't seek equality, but rather want power. I can't even bear to read most articles on the topic. Like this one, titled Beyoncé is my kind of feminist,
According to Neil McCormick, this song is "cringe inducing, with lots of sensuous moaning about the ways in which the trio will serve their man". I'm surprised he didn't make more of the fact that Beyoncé is calling her next tour theMrs. Carter Show(Jay Z's official surname) – as this surely further fuels his limited argument about what it is to be feminist and the fact that Beyonce surely cannot be one. By his logic this display of hers, showing off that she is happily married to a man, Beyoncé must surely get some feminist points deducted?
So here is it again. The same old myth: that in order to be a feminist, you have to live a life solely dedicated to publicly airing your feminist views, only talking about power of women (never men) whilst burning your entire underwear drawer.
I find it interesting that a female bull rider named Maggie Parker is in the news:
Ms Parker became professional last June after tackling a bucking bull for the full eight seconds needed to qualify as a pro. She relocated to Santa Maria, California, where she is being trained by top mentor Gary Leffew.
Her current percentage of staying on bulls is 35-40 per cent – which is a normal average for professional riders.
But despite winning plaudits as a female in a predominantly male sport, Ms Parker said she still faces difficulties in being accepted – especially when she gets bucked off a bull.
"They [men] say, 'This is why girls shouldn't ride bulls and girls aren't made for this,'" she said, adding: "But it all depends on the person.
"You're either a good bull rider or you're not. It takes a long time to gain people's respect and get treated the same as the men.
"Sometimes it's been harder for me because when you're learning how to ride a bull you're going to get bucked off – and you're going to get hurt. It's just not going to look very pretty while you're riding."
The bottom line: to get respect, show proficiency in your field. Or show character in learning how to excel in whatever profession you work in. The best kind of respect is that which is earned. That has nothing to do with birth, race, gender, any of that. Another hint: if you are always respectful, you will be respected. If for no other reason than people admire those that are respectful.

Carbon High girls pick up two quick wins, while Carbon High boys take two of three in Colorado
The Carbon High boys and girls basketball teams wasted no time in getting the season off to a good start after weeks of practice.
Both of the squads came out of the first week of the season with results that have left both teams pleased and optimistic about the rest of the season.
The Carbon High girls began their season on the road with a game against Lehi last Tuesday. Showing the same fire that lead them to the 3A state championship game 10 months ago, the Carbon High girls came away with a 54-41 win.
Carbon jumped out to an early 12-6 lead after the first quarter before extending it to 26-15 at the half.
Miranda Averett led the Lady Dinos with 11 points and 11 rebounds. Amanda Freestone, who did not play with the team last year, finished with 11 points and 4 rebounds.
In their second game of the week on Thursday, the Carbon High girls faced off with rival Emery High Spartans.
In their last meeting, Emery defeated Carbon in the 3A state championship game 55-42, ending what was a nearly flawless season for the Lady Dinos.
In this matchup, the Carbon High girls wasted no time in showing their rivals to the south that they came to Castle Dale to play.
Carbon ran out to a 24-13 lead at the half and never allowed Emery to get back in the game. Carbon outscored Emery 25-17 to walk away with the 49-30 win.
Averett led the Lady Dinos with 17 points. Rachel Scoggins added 11 points, 7 rebounds and 4 steals. Regan Powell and Kelcy Otani each added 6 points.
While head coach Ted Bianco is new to the team this season, he said not much needed to be changed in the formula for success for the Lady Dinos.
He credited a tough defense that helped change shots and created turnovers.
"This looks to be as good of a defensive team as I've ever coached," Bianco said.
Meanwhile for the Carbon High boys team, a long bus trip awaited the team as they traveled to Grand Junction, Colo., for three games against local opponents.
In their first game of the season against Palisade, Colo., on Thursday, the Carbon High boys were able to shake away any preseason jitters as they came away with the 45-34 win.
Jordan Blanc, who has battled injuries in his high school career, led the team with 11 points and 8 rebounds. Nick Haycock and Derek Young each added 8 points and 7 rebounds.
That success in the season opener carried over into their second game on Friday against Central, Colo. The Dinos used a strong defense while they converted on their scoring opportunities as they defeated Central 52-43.
Young led the team against Central with 15 points and 6 rebounds. Tanner Gagnon had 14 points and 7 rebounds and added a team-high 4 steals.
In their final game of the road trip on Saturday, Carbon High faced off with Fruita Monument, Colo. A slow first half and not coverting on free throw attempts were just some of the reasons the Dinos will look back on as they fell to Fruita Monument 66-55.
Fruita Monument jumped out to a 34-16 lead at halftime, putting the Dinos in a difficult position. Despite playing much better in the second half, even outscoring Fruita Monument 39-32, the first half deficit proved to be too much to overcome.
Clay Finkbiner led the Dinos with 15 points. Gagnon added 13 and Blanc had 12 for the Dinos. Dakota Cisneros had a team-high 8 assists in the loss.
Head coach Jeff Cisneros said he was pleased with start to the season, despite the loss in their final game. In the loss, Carbon shot just 50 percent from the foul line (12-of-24), Cisneros said.
At 2-1 and with more games on the road still to come, Cisneros said the experience of playing tough games on the road will help the Dinos as they look to improve each game.
"I felt we played really good in the tournament as we defended really well and had a lot of steals in every game," he said. "Playing games like this on the road will help us prepare for the rest of the season.

Fact: Erin Wasson is a bona fide fashion icon. Not only is she an actual supermodel, but she also has a preternaturally strong sense of off-duty style that's so noteworthy, it's led to a thriving career on the other side of the lens and the catwalk. After all, how many other famous faces can also say they've styled Alexander Wang shows and served as an editor on fashion stories in Elle while simultaneously creating a line of jewelry and designing a clothing collection, Erin Wasson x RVCA? Not so many, dear readers; in fact, nobody's even close.
Aesthetically speaking, Wasson's point of view is as impressive and influential as it is difficult to describe. Though there are many ways you could try to sum up her style influences-seventies rocker, nineties grunge, So Cal skater-surfer cool-her look is so specific and unique that she is really in a league of her own. Needless to say, we spend a significant portion of our time admiring her amazing attire and trying to deconstruct her effortless ensembles. Since we scrutinize Wasson's style so carefully, we figured that it was high time we applied our knowledge and create a hypothetical outfit in her honor. In today's edition of What Would She Wear we did just that; we hope that after reviewing our well-edited choices you will be inspired to take a walk on the Wasson side!
1. Lutz and Patmos Slouchy Fur Hat ($351)
A devoted fan of felt fedoras and straw porkpies, this fuzzy beanie from Lutz and Patmos would fit seamlessly into Wasson's hat rotation. Considering the fact that we've seen her wear both slouchy beanies and fur accents on separate occasions, we think this piece would be an obvious choice for her most-wanted list. The cap offers the perfect fusion of both elements, plus the blush hue is an interesting, unexpected choice.
2. Erin Wasson X RVCA Daisy Velvet Dress ($100)
While it's true that Erin Wasson did design this dress, we think this scoop-neck body-con piece completely encapsulates our subject du jour's frock philosophy: the tighter the better. In addition to the snug silhouette, it's made out of a '90s-approved fancy fabric-stretchy crushed blue velvet-which is actually figure-flattering for us non-model mortals!
3. Elizabeth and James for Robert Lee Morris Large Snake Pendant
Though she creates body jewelry composed of delicate and intricately webbed chains for her LuvLow line, we know that Wasson also appreciates vintage-inspired fare. This silver serpent pendent, made by fellow muses-turned-designers the Sisters Olsen, would look right at home around Wasson's neck!
4. Prada Crackle Fringe Stud Bag ($1395)
This clutch from the miraculous mind of Miuccia Prada incorporates so many of Wasson's design trademarks we had to include it in today's story. The fringe adornments are very haute-hippie, while the studded embellishments reference her penchant for punk pieces. Just slip this bag onto your wrist for a Wasson-worthy finishing touch!
5. Allison Schiller Silver Bezeled Geode Ring ($395)
We can only imagine what musical gems fill Wasson's iPod; however, we do know that when it comes to rings, Wasson is a hardcore fan of heavy metal. Allison Schiller's substantial metallic accessory is the perfect compliment to the earthy and incredibly gorgeous black geode stone.
6. Maybelline Great Lash Big Mascara
($6) in Blackest Black 130
Wasson's makeup look is decidedly low-key and au natural (maybe she's born with it?), but we know that she would flip for the newest incarnation of Maybelline's must-have Great Lash mascara. The extra large brush guarantees both dramatic lash volume and no clumps; just a coat or two and you'll be ready to go!
7. Sam Edelman Zoe Boots ($345)
In addition to her beloved creepers and studded heels, we think these Zoe Boots-which recall the vertiginous bridled platforms Nicolas Ghesquière showed on the Balenciaga F/W 06 runway-would look perfect with Wasson's favorite denim cut-offs.
8. Alexander Wang Denim Jacket with Goatskin Sleeves ($595)
Wasson and Wang are close collaborators, friends, and neighbors, so we know that their design aesthetics have been hugely influenced by each other (Wasson styled Wang's shows, while Wang designed for the model-off-duty look Wasson embodied). Though she may have sat this season out as Wang's backstage ensemble engineer, we can't help but think Wasson would love to tool around town in this classic faded denim jacket with tough-meets-lux goatskin sleeves!

YIELD: Makes 6 servings
- 4 (1 1/4-to 1 1/2-pounds) live lobsters
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions
- 1/4 cup finely chopped peeled celery
- 1/4 cup celery leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed
- 6 hot dog buns, preferably top-split
- Accompaniment: lemon wedges
Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium heat; see Grilling Procedure .
Plunge 2 lobsters headfirst into a large pot of salted boiling water and cook, partially covered, over medium-high heat 8 minutes (for 1 1/4-pounds lobsters) to 9 minutes (for 1 1/2-pounds lobsters) from time they enter water. Transfer with tongs to an ice bath and let stand until completely cooled. Return water to a boil and cook and cool remaining 2 lobsters. Remove meat from claws, joints, and tails. Coarsely chop meat.
Whisk together lemon juice, oil, and 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl. Whisk in scallions, celery, celery leaves, and parsley, then add lobster and gently toss. Season with salt.
Melt butter with garlic in a small saucepan over low heat, mashing garlic with a spoon.
Brush inside of buns with garlic butter. Grill, buttered side down, until golden, about 1 minute.
Fill buns with lobster.
Cooks' notes:
Lobsters can be cooked 1 day ahead. Remove meat from shells and chill.
Buns can be grilled in a lightly oiled hot 2-burner grill pan over medium heat or toasted in a 350ºF oven 5 to 7 minutes.
