Over 20 Carbon High School students got the chance to skid, slide and evade traffic cones and other obstacles during a Teen Driving Challenge near Camp Williams on Saturday.
The driving challenge, put on by the Utah Highway Patrol, offered students the opportunity to experience real life accident avoidance scenarios including skid control, evasive maneuvers, lane changing, braking techniques and more. The challenge was taught by Emergency Vehicle Operations (EVO) instructors at the track provided by the Department of Public Safety.
Students did their best to avoid the cones during an obstacle course challenge. Students had to conquer the course as they drove the same vehicles and participated in the same exercises that cadets for the Utah Highway Patrol must complete on a yearly basis.
At certain points in the obstacle course, battered and beaten cones sat at important junctions. While that may mean failure in one aspect, it also provided a learning experience for the students as they were told it can take time to utilize all of the skills necessary to succeed on the course and practicing is the key to accomplishing the goals.
As they backed up through the cones on the course, students were encouraged by UHP Trooper Bradley Shaw to use their instincts by only looking over their shoulder instead of using the rear-view mirror.
"Look. Look. Trust your instincts," Shaw told students repeatedly.
While the course and its exercises may have provided a challenge on an individual basis, students were challenging each other over their radios.
"I bet you will hit at least five cones," one student said to another.
"I've hit about 30 cones so far," said another.
Cadets with UHP must complete the entire obstacle course with a time of 2:30 or less. They must complete all of the obstacles within the course and they are not allowed to knock over any cones in the process. Doing so would mean disqualification. Students had their opportunity to be timed on the course to see how they would match up to what the cadets must go through. While many of them touched or backed over cones along the way, Shaw said that some of the students did very well considering it was their first time attempting the course.
Students were also able to do figure-8s on a water slicked portion of the course as they spun and slid the vehicles, trying their best to keep control of the vehicle at all times. The vehicles slid across the wet black pavement and the tires screeched as the vehicle spun round and round. Each student got the chance to skid around and by the looks on their faces, their expressions told how much fun they were having.
Students were then put in another exercise where they had to change lanes while going anywhere between 35-45 miles per hour. Shaun Thomas, a UHP trooper and course instructor, told the students that no braking was allowed and they cannot wait to make a decision. Once they reached a certain point Thomas would tell the students to go left or right, leaving them with little time to make a decision.
"It's definitely a challenge for me," said Brock Pruitt, a Carbon High senior. "You can't think out there because there is no time."
Just to make sure they were following directions, Shaw parked his vehicle at a particular point and used his radar detector to follow the speed of each student during the exercise. Some accelerated and maintained the correct speed, but others took their foot off the gas pedal and slowed down.
After the exercise was complete, Thomas gathered all of the students and talked about what they did right and what they needed to improve on. Throughout the entire challenge, Thomas said he saw improvement among many students.
"I could see the students drastically improving their skills during the day," said Thomas. "It's very intimidating to run through the course for the first time but it just takes practice to become better."
Katie Curry, a Carbon High senior, took her turn on the lane change exercise. As she accelerated towards the cones, Thomas shouted out for her to go left. At 45 mph, it's not as easy as it sounds. Curry maneuvered the vehicle into the left lane but went barreling into a number of cones along the way. As she made it through the exercise, Curry's tires screeched along the ground as she nearly did a complete 360 degree turn. As the vehicle came to a complete stop, the sounds of joy, jubilation and laughter filled the air.
"It was awesome and exhilarating," said Curry. "I would definitely do this (challenge) again."
While the students were having fun learning driving techniques they never had a chance to do before, the opportunity to provide a learning environment outside of a classroom was a big factor in helping make the challenge appeal to students, Shaw said. "An exercise like this helps students learn more because it's hands-on work instead of sitting in a classroom," Shaw said.
While much of the day was spent out on the course, students also had time to listen to UHP instructors and watch a movie on the dangers of distracted driving. Text messaging while driving and not paying attention to the road were two main areas focused on. The movie also focused on the fact that distracted driving can happen to anyone, including those with no prior criminal background.
The challenge is intended to be a fun experience for students as they get to try new driving techniques, but for a UHP Trooper like Thomas he hopes students come away with the intention of learning and applying those methods in their lives everyday.
"I like to see students who actually take the time to listen and learn while they are here," said Thomas. "The challenge is all about having fun and focusing on safety that the students can use in their lives."

|NC Commerce Secretary Brings Task to HC
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 13 September 2013 11:18
The Blue Ridge Electric Community Leaders Council heard from new North Carolina Department of Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker at a meeting at Jefferson Landing last night, and the secretary had a number of surprising revelations about the job of jobs in the state—one of her final points,
that we the people and the assets of our state beyond any 'deal' often make the difference in bringing and growing business in North Carolina... She also said that it takes both efforts on the state and local area to grow North Carolina's economy, "I would tell you that more often times than you want to count businesses relocate, consolidate and more their location not for any hook or financial deal that the county or the city or anybody put in them, but because of a relationship somewhere. It's a huge driver. So one of the things you and I must do to make North Carolina business friendly is to build strong communities." Decker pointed out the importance of art, tourism and culture—one of her five tenets of growing business in the state—and said North Carolina is the 4th most visited state in the country in spite of being 22nd in spending to bring those visitors here, and needs to invest more. Audio from her presentation is posted on our soundcloud account at https://soundcloud.com/goblueridge/sharon-decker-at-jefferson

Can he covers receivers? Keith Butler says camps will show.
my car's out back
if you're ready to take that long walk
Story says he was taken out and replaced with a DB, not another LB... in other words, it could have been "scheme" that caused them to take him out, not his coverage ability. We'll find out in camp...
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
We aren't going to pull Timmons on 3rd down so what does it matter if he's a 3 down player. We need a young kid who can step in and play at the point of attack. We NEED ILB's that complement each other, not ones that are identical.
Earn Some Bitcoins
I am paying for my honeymoon using bitcoins.
And especially with McClendon being more of a pass rush threat than Hampton ever was, the Steelers could occassionally use a 3-3 nickel package and replace a linebacker instead of replacing the NT.
For where he was selected, just making the team is an accomplishment, and as a rookie, he would primarily play special teams. If he can hit, like Butler said, he should be a nice fit there.

Ginger B. Hall will soon lead the Jefferson County Public Health Service after more than 24 years with the agency.
Mrs. Hall, who started with the county as a public health nurse in 1988, was named director of the agency by the Jefferson County Board of Legislators Tuesday night. She will replace outgoing Public Health Service Director Jean A. Bilow, who will retire Feb. 28 after 38 years with the agency.
Mrs. Hall has been the director of patient services since 2002 and works directly under Mrs. Bilow. She was previously supervising public health nurse and quality improvement coordinator at the agency.
County Legislator James A. Nabywaniec, R-Calcium, chairman of the boards Health and Human Services Committee, said there were two in-house candidates for the position and that Mrs. Halls experience on the clinician side weighed heavily in her favor.
She proved in her interview that she was more than qualified, he said. Shes done all the things in her career and with her continuing education to put her in the position to take the job. She will do a great job down there, I have no doubt about it.
Ms. Bilow, who has known Mrs. Hall since she first started working at the agency as a home health care nurse, said that her successor brings a wealth of experience and education to the job.
I think Ginger is in a good position to assume responsibility for the department and moving it forward. That will be a benefit for the Public Health Service and the county and its residents, Ms. Bilow said.
The director of Public Health is responsible for administrative, financial and professional oversight for the whole agency and all the services it provides, including: certified home health care, long-term home health care, maternal child health, clinic services, emergency medical services and medical examiner services.
Mrs. Hall said she was excited when she heard the news and was very happy to have been selected.
Her plans upon taking office are to ensure continuity with previous leadership and projects at the agency.
Theres a lot of action plans and work plans already set up, so we will be continuing to evaluate and revise those to meet the needs of the community, she said.
Another aspect of her job is to be prepared and ready to take on whatever comes at this department.
We have had meningococcal outbreaks, pertussis outbreaks, and then the normal flu situation so its being able to manage those types of situations, Mrs. Hall said. Theres constantly something new coming at us so youre always learning.
Mrs. Hall said that those opportunities for learning as well as the tremendous, high-performing staff at the agency were the two most significant reasons guiding her decision to apply for the director position.
She credits the strong role models she has had during her time with the agency for setting her up for success. She mentioned Ms. Bilow; former director of patient services Jean B. Heady, who retired in 2002; and Stephanie W. Mider, who was her first supervisor when she started at the agency.
Mrs. Hall holds a Master of Science degree in education from SUNY Potsdam and expects to obtain a masters in public health from the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine, in December 2014.
Mrs. Hall, who lives in Dexter, grew up in Three Mile Bay and graduated from Lyme Central School, Chaumont. She studied nursing at Jefferson Community College and graduated from the SUNY Institute of Technology at Utica/Rome in 1986 with a Bachelor of Science degree in the field. She began her career in health care as a staff nurse at Mercy Hospital, Watertown, in 1985.
Her husband, Jeffrey D. Hall, is the office manager at Cardinal Construction in Dexter. Their son, Jonathan C. Hall, is studying business administration at SUNY Potsdam.

Phillies agree to sign LHP John Lannan
The Phillies have agreed to sign LHP John Lannan, according to Jim Salisbury of Comcast SportsNet.
Jon Heyman of CBS Sports says Lannan will sign a one-year, $2.5 million contract.
Michael Baron, ContributorThe Mets reportedly showed interested in Lannan during the Winter Meetings as a contingency to trading Dickey. Lannan would have been a good stopgap as the team waits for Zack Wheeler.
Last week, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York said the Mets would move Jenrry Mejia to the rotation if Dickey is traded, but I'd have to think the Mets would explore other stopgaps before making that decision, especially since there are so many unknowns with Mejia right now. However, Lannan's deal sets a baseline for this level of the starting pitching market, and that could be an issue when looking for such a solution.

Gaylord contracted the disease when he tried to pull a mouse out of the mouth of his cat, Charlie, because it was choking on the rodent. The disease, a version of the medieval scourge that wiped out at least a third of Europe, took away the 59-year-old welder's fingertips, his toes and his ability to make a living. He faces an arduous recovery surrounded by constant reminders of his misery, the infected cat died, and the trailer he's living in has a mouse problem. (AP Photo/The Gaylord Family, ho)

Begin by unwrapping FUN from the biodegradable cellophane just as you would an enormous piece of candy. Save the wrapper for when playtime's over. To use as soap or shampoo, pinch off a small bit in your hand (or on a bath pouf) and hop in the tub, lathering from head, shoulders, knees to toes. If you fancy a bubble bath, crumble a small chunk under a warm running tap for mountains of suds.
Calling all grime fighters!: Reluctant hand washers will love squidging a pea size piece between their palms and washing up.
Magically moldable: This FUN is the perfect shade of green for making snakes, dragons and other mythical creatures. After molding you can slay the beasts under warm running water!

1934 and all that
Another week, another ado over nothing.
Last Saturday, Steve McIntyre wrote an email to NASA GISS pointing out that for some North American stations in the GISTEMP analysis, there was an odd jump in going from 1999 to 2000. On Monday, the people who work on the temperature analysis (not me), looked into it and found that this coincided with the switch between two sources of US temperature data. There had been a faulty assumption that these two sources matched, but that turned out not to be the case. There were in fact a number of small offsets (of both sign) between the same stations in the two different data sets. The obvious fix was to make an adjustment based on a period of overlap so that these offsets disappear.
This was duly done by Tuesday, an email thanking McIntyre was sent and the data analysis (which had been due in any case for the processing of the July numbers) was updated accordingly along with an acknowledgment to McIntyre and update of the methodology.
The net effect of the change was to reduce mean US anomalies by about 0.15 ºC for the years 2000-2006. There were some very minor knock on effects in earlier years due to the GISTEMP adjustments for rural vs. urban trends. In the global or hemispheric mean, the differences were imperceptible (since the US is only a small fraction of the global area).
There were however some very minor re-arrangements in the various rankings (see data [As it existed in Sep 2007]). Specifically, where 1998 (1.24 ºC anomaly compared to 1951-1980) had previously just beaten out 1934 (1.23 ºC) for the top US year, it now just misses: 1934 1.25ºC vs. 1998 1.23ºC. None of these differences are statistically significant. Indeed in the 2001 paper describing the GISTEMP methodology (which was prior to this particularly error being introduced), it says:
The U.S. annual (January-December) mean temperature is slightly warmer in 1934 than in 1998 in the GISS analysis (Plate 6). This contrasts with the USHCN data, which has 1998 as the warmest year in the century. In both cases the difference between 1934 and 1998 mean temperatures is a few hundredths of a degree. The main reason that 1998 is relatively cooler in the GISS analysis is its larger adjustment for urban warming. In comparing temperatures of years separated by 60 or 70 years the uncertainties in various adjustments (urban warming, station history adjustments, etc.) lead to an uncertainty of at least 0.1°C. Thus it is not possible to declare a record U.S. temperature with confidence until a result is obtained that exceeds the temperature of 1934 by more than 0.1°C.
More importantly for climate purposes, the longer term US averages have not changed rank. 2002-2006 (at 0.66 ºC) is still warmer than 1930-1934 (0.63 ºC – the largest value in the early part of the century) (though both are below 1998-2002 at 0.79 ºC). (The previous version – up to 2005 – can be seen here).

wow, exactly no takers. I dont know whether I should be offended or not. ???
Hey guys, the Order of the Red Fedora is working on a mod. I need you to try it out, give feedback, bugs, etc. Its not even close to a beta yet, just trying to get a handle on some stuff. Its at http://www.geocities.com/mattbirchfield/nwn . It should be the latest post. Put some feedback here please.
wow, exactly no takers. I dont know whether I should be offended or not. ???
I don't have it either! Sorry man!
Mountainman I love your new avatar/icon (whatever its called)!! Very nice!!
Yep, that's a kicking Avatar. Don't be offended 'cause no one's tried it. I'm a NWN fiend and I just haven't seen this thread yet, nor have I had any time to play it lately.
Do I need SOU to play this mod?
Thanks again,
No, no SOU is required. I will tell you its not wholly functional, we really havent implemented the story line yet. Basically this is just a checkout of the stuff we have installed already. Once you look at something for so long you kinda lose objectivity on it, so I am looking for a fresh set of eyes and some recommendations from there.

A couple of years ago, the peerless Carine Roitfeld said, "I think as you get older, the snake is more chic than the leopard." While the high priestess of style was making a valid comment on age-appropriate dressing, the inherent implication of her words--that snakeskin accents are universally cool--is certainly playing out in fashion today. The S/S 11 runways offered a veritable reptile house of serpentine pieces, ranging from the understated, like Reed Krakoff's Python Gym Top Handle Bag ($2790) in the palest gray, to bold looks like the stunning asymmetrical Python/Metallic Leather Skirt ($4639, 212.833.2129) seen at Altuzarra, which was paired with a vibrant yellow Knit Sweater ($1105, 212.833.2129) and Gianvito Rossi for Altuzarra Buckle Strap Ankle Wedges ($1405). But while exotic skins are certainly in the spotlight, you don't need the real deal to achieve the look, as today's Under $100 proves! Read on for our homage to pseudo-scales and be sure to check out all of the noteworthy thrifty thrills we found!
Rachel Leigh Stella Snakeskin Bracelets ($72 each)
While you might think snakeskin is a reasonable material for certain accessories--like shoes, bags, and belts--it's actually a wonderful option for baubles too, as Rachel Leigh's bracelets demonstrate! Available in five excellent colors, these narrow bangles have 14k gold-plated pyramid-stud details and offer a cool and unexpected way to sneak this trend into your daily wardrobe!
Topshop Natural Holographic Snake Print Box Chain Bag ($60) in Natural
Whether you have a spate of GNOs on the horizon or a schedule filled with weddings, you need to pick up this killer snake-print bag from the trend gurus at Topshop. The boxy clutch comes with a long chain strap, making it the perfect, versatile option for all your upcoming evening events.
Gap Skinny Faux Snakeskin Belt ($29.95, 212.977.7023) in Neutral
We've been enjoying Gap's wares a great deal lately--everything from their wedges to their wide-leg jeans is looking on point--so we weren't surprised to learn that they're carrying a fabulous faux snakeskin belt. In addition to the price being right, if you're looking for something subtle, this neutral belt might be the ideal accent piece. Neither wide nor narrow and perfectly neutral in tone, this belt is sure to work with a slew of pieces in your closet!
Vince Camuto Renee2 Pump ($98) in Ocean
Typically we think of snake-print pieces in neutral tones, but sometimes they're even better in vivid hues, as this pair of peep-toe heels shows us. We love how these Vince Camuto pumps have such a classic cut, yet the gorgeous blue color and snake-print embossed leather make them a very of-the-moment pick!
Beirn Small Zip Wallet ($95, 212.247.1100) in Grey with Markings
Sometimes you only want to incorporate a touch of a trend in your outfit. If this is the case for you when it comes to snake-print pieces, we simply must suggest picking up this small zip wallet by Beirn. Use it with a larger bag or as your own tiny tote, either way, it's the sort of piece that goes with just about everything!
Dolce Vita Koko Slip-On Flat ($69) in Natural
If you're bored with ballet slippers but not quite ready to move into full-on summer sandals, consider these delicate loafer-like shoes from Dolce Vita. They would look so darling with all of the season's cropped trousers and jeans, plus we think they're the perfect transitional footwear option.
Zara Sandals with Snake Skin Straps ($99.90, 323.935.5041)
Though they are not actually made out of exotic skins, these black and snake-print sandals are beyond chic and look vastly more expensive than they are. With a small, two-inch kitten heel and a slim design, these shoes have a European sophistication, making them an essential purchase!
River Island Faux Snake Leather Bag ($56) in Burgundy
Available on River Island's website this Thursday, this reddish flap bag is definitely worth waiting for! With a chain-link strap, structured shape, and snake accents, this bag will give any outfit a vaguely vintage vibe--always a good thing in our book!

By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
I was doing some research in the College of Eastern Utah Library on Friday and the exhibit at the front of the library was pointed out to me by one of the staff members.
The display has to do with John F. Kennedy's life and his presidency. There were books, videos and other materials on the table, but one thing really caught my eye. It was a book Aimee Lauritsen, the public services director at the library put together and it is called "Share your thoughts. Where were you the day JFK was shot?" The book is designed so those that look at the display can write down where they were, what they saw and how they felt the day the president was killed.
While about half of the population alive today either was too young to remember or not born yet, for those of us that remember it was a traumatic day. I started to think about it over the weekend, and every year since 1963, sometime during the day of Nov. 22, I think back about the moment I heard that terrible news. It is the only day of the year I do that, except for the anniversary of 9-11 which hardly counts since it is only two years old.
I don't do it with the Challenger Disaster anniversary, nor on the anniversary of man landing for the first time on the moon. I don't even do it with days that are personally important. It is the only day I mark year after year by remembering where I was at such a young age..
I remember when I was 11 years old and I was walking out of the cafeteria of Grant Elementary School in Murray. My best friend, Gary Dunn, was in another class and in line for lunch and he said, "Rick, the presidents been shot."
I went right down to Mrs. Lindsey's room, a fourth grade teacher I had had a couple of years before because I knew she had the only television in the building.
There we watched as Walter Cronkite announced the president's death.
I saw Mrs. Lindsey cry and observed tears come out of the eyes of Mr. Snarr, our principal.
It's a day I'll never forget.

I still remain a possibility ... will need to get off the fence soon.On one hand, it's pushing the limit of where I'm willing to drive.On the other hand, I really do need to get out.It'll help if I knew a few more details about route possibilities.I've never been to Pictured Rocks (have no idea how we missed it on a Lake Superior circle trip we took long ago).
Hi guys,Finally got my March schedule. Hopefully I'll be able to join you for the Friday-Saturday (contingent on wife and kids activities) but not Sunday. Sounds like Dana's and Rog's suggestions were similar to what Travis and I had talked about. If anyone is interested, the trip report "Anatomy of a 24" was the stretch from Little Beaver Lake to Mosquito, and "Land of Rock and Ice" was a modified version of the Chapel Loop. Looking forward to (hopefully) meeting you guys. Merry, Is Pippin coming?Ike
Nah Ike the other hobbit can't come that weekend, but I will ensure to bring plenty of good cheese :-)Thats great you can make it mate.
Good news, Ike!(who's Merry and Pippen?)Jim, There are several route possibilities, and I think we just have to figure out how far people want to hike. It might be a good idea to have 2-3 options in case of weather issues. I'm good for anything, but wouldn't mind covering a bit of ground to see different things.

Somehow I don't think Si would ever be mistaken for a hobbit.I see Pippin was wearing the condom. Did he insist on a cooked lunch after 2nd breakfast and elevenses? Or was that just a way to pace himself at higher altitudes?Need a Shire folk reunion in Colorado this year. Further south and west than last September, though.Wish I could join you all for the GGG, but my season won't start till after April 15th.

Another teaser for your trip planning, and to get people on board. Skiied the chapel loop yesterday. Thanks to a recent storm delivering 50mph windgusts, the cliffs have the best ice I've ever seen there. If you want to see more pics , search me on FB. Really, truly spectacular ice. You gotta see this.Sea cave is a few hundred ft east of chapel rock.

That's bad ass, Dana. I hope we get to see similar things.
After seeing Dana's picture this is hard to do and I really don't want to back out. I have a eleven year old grand daughter that's only been on one short bp trip with me. We've camped a bit kayak ride dirt bikes go country dancing and now have a really crappy band going but this year I think we need to start backpacking a lot more. I've been feeling guilty since I said I would go on this trip. She's growing up way to fast. Thanks for the offer
Hi Mark,That's a shame you won't make, hopefully we will get to meet up some other time.Hi Dana,That is one bad ass photo alright as Travis says.Travis,At a trip before Xmas Rog and Ike were amazed by how much food my buddy Simon and I consumed, that how the name a hobbits came up.
Hi Mark, 'Tis a bummer you can't come, but we'll all probably still be backpacking for a long time to come, and Pictured Rocks isn't going anywhere. An 11-year old, however, doesn't stay that way very long. Go make some memories with her!
LOL, you guys! You all do look quite hobbit-ish in the sense that you're all quite happy in the picture presumably taken around meal time.
That was second breakfast :-)
Here's what I'm thinking.... Its pretty well agreed on where the best scenery is. Since we all have to stop at the Visitors Center to check in/register/whatever, why don't we all meet there, get the most recent and accurate road condition report, and decide where exactly to go then. We can then take a break for elevensies, get to our designated parking spot, and then have lunch. Hit the trail, and soon stop for second lunch. Now, when do you all want to meet? The wife and I are driving up Thursday late and finding a place in the Hiawatha NF to crash. Already scoped out some Google images. That plan is still open for change though. At any rate we'll be able to meet anytime Friday morning.
Sounds good to me Señor funk.I would be expecting to get there about 1pm but as I am taking the day off work anyway am tempted to go Thursday as could be there at 8pm. It will have to see.
Stephen, If you decide to leave Thursday night, we could meet you early Friday for breakfast. Just a thought.
That would be cool Travis,
The decision's been made for me ... grand grandson's first birthday celebration will be on the 24th. Wouldn't miss that even if I could get away with it.Enjoy the trip, I'll look forward to a report.
Ok, Jim, have some cake for me! Hopefully next time...maybe a Porcupine Mt. trip?

1. Being closer to family. My wife (Shahara) is from Newark, N.J. and I'm from Peekskill, N.Y. We're expecting our first child soon so it's good to have a family support group reasonably close by.
2. The passion of the Philadelphia fans. That can propel you to winning. We have our own city; we're not sharing it with the Lakers. Los Angeles is definitely a Lakers town, and with all their success they deserve it. But Philly has its own titles and tradition and Dr. J. Being part of all that is really an honor.
3. No paparazzi! Here, we had to call a press conference to get our pictures taken.
4. The Philly cheesesteaks. They're everywhere here, even in the five-star restaurants. But that's a good thing and a bad thing. I have to stay away from them till the off season. Gotta keep my svelte shape.
5. Just being on this team, a great group of guys who really hustle and work hard.
To summarize: In-laws are good babysitters; Julius Erving > Kenny Norman; no trans fat ban in Keystone State; Clipperdom -- all of the paparazzi/none of the glory. (Hat Tip: TrueHoop)

For some, the arrival of spring means a return to the warm and welcoming outdoors, where flowers blossom in the backyard and the sound of birdsong fills the air. For your WWW editors, however, the season heralds a return to brighter colors, floral patterns, and eye-catching accessories, which is why today we bring you an outstanding roundup of spring essentials in WWW Picks! From of-the-moment pieces (like a peplum top and drop-waist dress) to classic accessories with a contemporary twist (a sunny yellow drawstring bag and a pair of incredibly versatile white heels), we curated a handful of options you'll certainly want to sport this spring.
1. H&M Top ($35)
We've mentioned our obsession with peplum tops before, but we'll say it again: this ladylike silhouette is one of spring's hottest and most wearable trends! Not only does H&M's short-sleeve version come in a cool minty green hue, but the way it nips in at your natural waistline is flattering on any body type. Pair the top with skinny jeans for a weekend-ready look, or combine it with a slim pencil skirt for a polished office outfit. We also highly approve of this peplum piece's budget-friendly price tag, which makes it a surefire sartorial steal in our opinion!
2. BIKO Crystal Fishscale Earrings ($55)
A pair of dazzling earrings is a must-have this season, and we think these aquatic-themed baubles from BIKO add just the right touch of flash to any ensemble. An artful mix of gunmetal chain, brass spikes, and vintage crystal studs, these fish-scale danglers are both edgy and totally glamorous. To really showcase these glittering accessories properly, make sure to pull your hair back and allow them to shine!
3. Joe Fresh Tulip Dress ($69)
Every season ushers in a new go-to dress trend, and this spring, we're absolutely delighted to reveal it's all about the drop-waist number! From Kenzo's Ruffled Taffeta Reversible Dress ($598) to Theyskens' Theory's Dubble Dress ($1265) and Giambattista Valli's Silk Flower Jacquard/Silk Chiffon Dress ($5278), this chic silhouette was all over the S/S 12 runways. We're charmed by Joe Fresh's take on the drop-waist dress; the boxy and structured top is cleverly balanced out by a full tulip skirt, and the result is a feminine silhouette that works just as well for office hours as it does for happy hours. Plus, we fully appreciate this pretty frock's solid red color, which makes a simply stunning statement. Try slipping on a collar necklace and cropped blazer over the dress for a fun date night look!
4. Alexander Wang Joan Mule Pumps ($545)
Admit it: while you own plenty of black, brown, and neutral-colored standbys, have you ever thought about investing in a pair of white heels? Since spring is the season to embrace lighter shades, we can't think of a better time to try Alexander Wang's leather ankle-strap pumps. With a sharp pointed toe and cut-out vents along the side, these sleek kicks can either enhance your outfit's edge factor or inject a feminine ensemble with some tough-girl attitude. The shoes even claim a celebrity fan--Rihanna's been spotted wearing them out and about--and their crisp white hue will be a guaranteed hit when you wear them on the town as well!
5. Zara Printed Trousers With Contrasting Waist ($80)
Of course, no spring essential roundup would be complete without a floral-print piece, such as Stella McCartney's Hibiscus Print Silk Crepe Trousers ($1052), Dolce & Gabbana's Floral Print Trousers ($530), and Matthew Williamson's Green Floral Print Silk Pants ($750). But if you seek a more budget-friendly option, thanks to Zara, we've found one we want to wear all season long! The label's cotton trousers, swathed in a multicolored profusion of flowers, easily punch up any outfit, and its contrasting black waistband lends a polished effect. We envision tucking a loose t-shirt or fitted button-down into the pants, then teaming the overall look with a pair of strappy heels for a sophisticated spring ensemble.
6. NARS Nail Color ($18, available May 1st) in Kutki
As soon as we heard that NARS (one of our favorite beauty brands) had collaborated with Thakoon (one of our most beloved runway labels) on a limited-edition collection of nail polishes, we knew the results would be on-point! Although we'd happily try on all six vivid lacquers, inspired by the rainbow-hued colors of Indian spice markets, we were especially drawn to Kutki. The opaque pale blue shade offers a subtle way of incorporating spring's ubiquitous pastel trend into your everyday look.
7. Elizabeth and James Thompson Vest ($325, 310.247.7779) in Black
Since they're the perfect transitional spring piece, it's not surprising that sleeveless jackets made an appearance in several S/S 12 collections (we were particularly fond of pieces like Dries Van Noten's Bizou Vest ($1080) and Lanvin's Sleeveless Tuxedo Jacket ($3885, 888.222.7639)). Blazers have long served as one of our main closet staples, especially since they transition so seamlessly from the workplace to the weekend. For one that clocks in at a slightly more accessible price point, we're enamored with Elizabeth and James' sleeveless vest, an elegant option that's lightweight enough to layer over silk blouses in warmer weather. Though it comes in fall-friendly black, the vest's cool twill and organza fabric won't weigh you down!
8. Dooney & Bourke Dillen II Drawstring Bag ($288) in Sunflower
You may have noticed that your WWW editors have a weakness for drawstring bags, and lately, we've noticed a number of lovely yellow versions, such as Marc By Marc Jacobs' Drawstring Bag ($563), Alexander Wang's Diego Bucket Bag ($825), and Viktor & Rolf's Drawstring Bucket Bag ($955). For a budget-friendly rendition, however, we adore this classic Dooney & Bourke option. The slouchy, bucket-shaped carrier is convenient for girls on the go, as the drawstring closure makes it easy to grab keys or cash in a hurry. But what we love most about this chic purse (aside from its cheerful sunflower yellow hue) is its numerous thoughtful details, including several interior pockets and an inside key hook, that make it a splurge-worthy purchase!--Tiffany Tse

CANTON The couple who assaulted and attempted to kidnap a Massena teen in February is headed to prison after they accepted a plea deal in St. Lawrence County Court Thursday.
Patrick R. Lloyd, 25, of New York City, and Miranda M. Green, 18, of 37 Howard St., Massena, pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted kidnapping, a class C felony.
Mr. Lloyd is expected to be sentenced to eight years in prison. The plea deal will satisfy charges that are pending against Mr. Lloyd in Massena Village Court.
Ms. Green is expected to receive up to four years in prison. She will be sentenced as a youthful offender, meaning she will not have a criminal record after serving her time.
Sentencing is Nov. 6 at 9:15 a.m.
The plea deal was reached just one day after St. Lawrence County Court Judge Jerome J. Richards encouraged the pair to accept a plea bargain, noting they could both be looking at 15 years in prison if they were convicted.
This was the first time that a plea had been introduced into the case, Mr. Lloyds attorney Edward F. Narrow said Thursday.
We took that back to our clients and gave them the night to think about it, Mr. Narrow said of he and Ms. Greens attorney, Peter A Dumas. We came back to court today and asked the judge if he would be willing to give us a commitment in regards to sentence.
Mr. Lloyd and Ms. Green are accused of shoving Catherine A. Berry, 18, to the ground and punching and kicking her in the face several times on Feb. 16. In court Thursday, they admitted to stopping Ms. Berry on the street, restraining her hands and trying to force her into their vehicle before their actions drew the attention of neighbors in the Sycamore Street area where the incident took place. Ms. Berry suffered bruises and facial swelling as a result of the attack.
In addition to the attempted kidnapping charge, the two were facing charges of unlawful imprisonment and petit larceny.
Mr. Lloyd also faced a charge of second-degree attempted assault, and Ms. Green faced a charge of third-degree assault.
Uncertainty of how Ms. Berry would testify before a grand jury she accused the two off the attack, but then recanted her story in a written statement to Mr. Tracy has hung over the case prior to Thursday morning, when she was scheduled to testify.
Mr. Narrow said he and Mr. Dumas had learned that Ms. Berry was going to stick to her original complaint and testimony. It was that testimony and the testimony of witness, Roxanne Erlendson, that the attorneys said would make it difficult for them to win a not guilty verdict from the jury.
Mr. Dumas said Ms. Green, who is pregnant with Mr. Lloyds child and is due to give birth in three months, will be placed in a facility where she will be able to spend a year with her child.
So this is a victory, Mr. Dumas said. And she walks out of court today without a conviction.
St. Lawrence County District Attorney Nicole M. Duve said that she was pleased with the outcome of the case.
It was something that caught the attention of the Massena community in a way that not a lot of people do, Ms. Duve said. It caused a lot of upset and alarm in the community and this outcome assured that the people who were responsible for causing that are being dealt with and being held accountable for what they did.

A Non-Believing Minister!
As a former fundy (and a currently ordained, although deconverted minister pastoring a church!), I greatly appreciate your honest and excellent writing! I'm very much in the theological closet and wish to remain totally anonymous for now, and I'm sure you can understand that.
I wonder how many other ministers are out there in churches who no longer believe, but who don't know what else to do with their lives?

The Watertown City Council on Monday denied a brokers plans to sell used vehicles from a Coffeen Street property.
D. Scott Gerni, a broker with Clear Choice Homes, 816 Coffeen St., wanted to sell no more than three vehicles from a back parking lot at the two-family house, but council members were worried about traffic and parking problems that the part-time business could cause.
They voted against recommending a special permit to Mr. Gerni. Last month, the citys Planning Board also denied the request, contending it would cause too many vehicles entering and exiting the site that already includes the real estate business.

Then we price out a couple Heat-Recovery GTHP options, tax credits , and I usually share what is needed for a lowest first cost and more savings over airsource, as well as aesthetics- I can 'play' on.
I've had many experiences with Daikin in the past, they are very standard and normal air conditioner units for the price they go at. You should take a look at other brands that are affordable but come with high specs. Stay away from companies that are not North American, they can be made in china but make sure it's a North American company that has been in the business for years so you don't have a part problem in the future.

I think too:
the Mini forum must include the consoles and small horizontals with 2 or 4 runs, etc
and heat-recovery
for HW heating to be all inclusive in est buys... if one uses HWater that can be heated from a/c systems and heat pumps, etc.
b/c the HW systems are a part of the tax crediting for qualified buyers
