A backpack is a functional item, required fare for most school-aged children, and we generally give little thought to them. We might not think too much about them, but our kids sure do...and it's not what you might be thinking, either. You might think, "Yeah...they just want the latest hot brand or logo emblazoned across the backpack," but it turns out this simply isn't the case. For our review, we had a 10-year-old reviewer take the Ecotech Snow Leopard for a spin. That spin started in September, and the kid and the backpack are still going strong. Kids can recognize quality when they see it.
In the reviewer's own words:
If you want to play AAA hockey, then you have to have good grades. That means bringing home lots of books. So, I got the Ecotech Snow Leopard backpack. Before I got the Ecotech backpack, my back always hurt from my books and other stuff. I have noticed my back doesn't hurt when I use this backpack. The Ecotech Snow Leopard has pads all over it. It has pads were your books are so you don't get the problem I got from my old one. The Ecotech also has lots of room for your books or even sports gear. The Ecotech Snow Leopard also has lots of pockets so you can have your school stuff in one pocket and your clothing in a different pocket. I like all the padding it has.
This backpack has good durability. None of the zippers have broke and I have had this backpack for awhile now. After all of its use, it has no rips, tears or holes. You can't say that with all backpacks. The backpack doesn't just feel good, it looks good too. The backpack is safe, too. It is reflective, so if you are a walker or a biker, cars can see you. For you bikers out there, you will be glad to hear what I am about to say. This backpack has buckles that go around your waist and 2 straps that go around you chest. You can pedal lots faster that way.
If you try this product I am sure you will be satisfied just like I was. Overall I have to say that the Ecotech Snow Leopard backpack is a great product.
There you have it, out of the mouths of babes!

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Samantha Logic scored 11 second-half points to help the University of Iowa women's basketball team surge past Michigan State, 74-57, on Sunday on Medicom Court inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. It is Iowa's fifth consecutive victory.
The teams were tied, 30-30, at halftime, but the Hawkeyes turned up the heat during the final 20 minutes by shooting 53.6 percent from the field (15-of-28).
Iowa improved to 16-10 overall, 8-5 in the Big Ten Conference; Michigan State dropped to 15-10, 7-5.
Five Hawkeyes scored in double figures, led by Morgan Johnson with 18 points and seven rebounds. Logic compiled 17 points and 13 rebounds and Kamille Wahlin added 11 points, six rebounds and six assists.
"We have such a balanced team," UI head coach Lisa Bluder said. "I don't think we've ever been a one-person show. (Injured guard) Jaime (Printy) was certainly our leading scorer, but I think when Jaime went down, everybody had a focus that they had to pick up their game a little bit."
The Hawkeyes started strong, converting on six of their first eight field goal attempts to grab a 14-4 lead five minutes into the contest. The Spartans, on the other hand, struggled executing against the stingy Iowa defense and started the game shooting 1-of-10 from the field.
Johnson sparked the Hawkeyes early on, making four of her first six shots from the field. The junior center ended the first half leading team in scoring with 14 points.
"With Jaime being gone there's been a different emphasis on where we're getting our points from," Johnson said. "I've gotten a lot of great passes from the inside. And I've had a little bit more determination to be a threat offensively because that's what our team needs, and I'm willing to do what our team needs."
While the Iowa defense was able to hold Michigan State in check early in the first period, the Spartan shooters eventually got going. With Iowa leading 20-15 with 9:11 left in the half, Michigan State's Annalise Pickrel knocked down one the Spartan's five first half 3-pointers. Another 3-pointer by Pickrel, this time with 5:21 remaining in the half, gave the Spartans a 26-23 lead and capped their 11-3 run.
With the game tied at 30 at intermission, the Hawkeyes came out of the locker room energized and quickly gained the advantage. Logic drove the lane for a layup to give Iowa a 34-33 lead with 17:31 to go. Then on Michigan State's next possession, Wahlin stripped the ball from a Spartan player and found a wide open Kelly Krei on the other end, who nailed a 3-pointer from the corner to extend the lead to 37-33.
"Everyone's stepped up their game," Wahlin said. "The people coming off the bench are also stepping up their game. That kind of effort from everyone across the board is getting us better."
The Hawkeyes continued to maintain a slim lead through the second half, until a string of Iowa baskets broke the game open. Leading 45-43, freshman Melissa Dixon hit a deep 3-pointer to push the lead to five. Later, Johnson converted her patented turnaround baby hook-shot that made the score 50-43 with 9:19 remaining. Iowa then pushed the lead to double-digits courtesy of a Wahlin runner over the reach of a Spartan defender that made the score 57-46 with 7:03 left.
Iowa's defense was able to keep Michigan State at bay preventing them from getting back to within striking distance and sending the audience of 7,307 home happy.
"Thrilled with the crowd today," Bluder said. "They really came out to support us here. For the crowd to come out and help us and energize us today was outstanding."
The Hawkeyes shot 15-of-28 (53.6 percent) in the second half and 26-of-56 (46.4 percent) for the game. Iowa's defense held the Spartans to 21-of-63 (33.3 percent) shooting on the afternoon.
"This is a really good win for our program," Bluder said. "Five in a row now, I think our team is feeling really good about going on a road game. This was an important game because it was our only meeting with Michigan State for head-to-head competition for tiebreakers. It was an important victory."
The Hawkeyes travel to Ann Arbor to face Michigan on Thursday, Feb., 16. Game time is set for 7 p.m. (CT) and it will be televised live on Big Ten Network.

I don't do many haircare reviews because I basically can abuse my hair to no end. Have I damaged my hair before? Yes, it became gummy and gross and I had to have it cut to about ½ inch in length. But that was back in the 1980's and anything done drastically was like totally awesome!
Now, I don't damage my hair to that extent but I am masochistic when it comes to coloring. If I let my roots go too long, how I yearn for that peroxide burn. Nothing brings me more joy and pain than newly colored hair. And, as you know, I don't go for the simple one-step color, I go for the triple process posted here. The color is a bit different now, less red which I prefer and more golden.
In the first picture, I have my hair in a hair clip which explains why in the second picture it looks all ragged. Notice that the hair is longer, I had a shag cut or if you prefer to call it a she mullet. Not she Billy-Ray-Cyrus-mullet but the French pronunciation: she MOOHL-lay! In the third pic it is cut into a shaggy bob and looks strawlike. I just call it my scarecrow cut but the shaggy bob sounds better. The fourth picture is washing the hair with Alterna Bamboo Luminous Shine Shampoo ($20USD), Alterna Bamboo Luminous Conditioner ($20USD), Alterna Bamboo Silk Sleek Brilliance Cream ($22USD), and blow-dried. After blowdrying, my hair resembles a big puff of cotton. If you saw me walking down the street, I basically resemble a Q-Tip. Before adding more styling product to finish the look, let me just give you a review of the products.
The products I used came from a bag of Sephora haircare samples using the code: MYHAIR. In it are various brands to try and Alterna was the first brand I grabbed. After all, I eat bamboo like a panda, why not use it in my hair?
The Alterna Bamboo Luminous Shampoo is a slightly thick and clear shampoo. It has a light scent that I can't put my finger on because I am not good with scents but isn't a cloying scent that would attract bees which I am grateful. It lathers easily and a little goes a long way. Lightweight and non-slick or slippery, it cleanses the hair without making the scalp and hair feel dry. It seems to add that bit of smoothness to the cuticle (of the hair) without adding weight. Nice shampoo.
The Alterna Bamboo Luminous Conditioner looks thick which it is but it, like the shampoo, doesn't weigh down the hair. It detangles the hair easily which makes combing my hair a breeze. Usually, I would finish with this step which is sufficient enough because it leaves a nice smooth and tame finish to the hair. No flyways. However, since I am trying all the products, onto the next product.
The Alterna Bamboo Silk Sleek Brilliance Cream is what I consider to be a primer for the hair. When your hair is wet and you want to style it after it dries, you need a product which allows others to stick to it when it is dry; or else you'll be piling on product weighing the style down. This cream is perfect because when applied onto wet hair and blow-dried, it gives it volume and texture for other products. Nothing really sticky or heavy, just like your own hair but better.
Finally, the end result. I used some lightweight pomade mixed with argan oil to give me some of that piecey smoothness. I guess it looks nice, right? I think a glam scarecrow look will be in this summer! :-)

Selling your home can be difficult, but it is critical for anyone who is going it alone to get as much attention for their property as possible. Increasing the viewership of your listing is one of the best ways to make sure that you're attracting serious buyers.
Start by reading and carefully reviewing the text of your ad. Think about how it portrays the property you're trying to sell. Keep everything in the listing as positive as possible. Do not mention any problems with the property unless you are prepared to seriously discount your home or business in order to sell it. Avoid over-used phrases such as "cozy" or "lived-in" that people tend to think of as disguising the truth about a property's real condition.
Also be sure to highlight the best features of the home within the first two sentences. Mention any unusual features at the beginning of the listing, and leave the more common amenities such as granite countertops and garden tubs for the end of the listing. By placing unusual features at the beginning, internet search engines are more likely to pick up the listing and display it to people who are looking for homes with those particular features. It will also attract people who are scanning through multiple listings. This is very important for people who are trying to sell in markets that are over-saturated with homes for sale.
Finally, make sure that everything in your ad is the truth. Listing a bonus room as an extra bedroom or including your garage square footage as part of the house will attract more viewers, but odds are that many of them will walk away after being shown the house.

Arguments in the state's lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act ended Wednesday and a ruling is set for June. In the meantime, state leaders are rejecting half a billion dollars to implement the new law.
If the US Supreme Court rules against Florida and ACA remains the law of the land, the state will have some catching up to do.
They came with signs, and wearing medical masks, storming the governor's office and breaking in to song.
At the start of the legislative session supporters of the Affordable Care Act begged the governor and legislative leaders to stop fighting the new health care law.
But when session ended earlier this month… Lawmakers sent the governor a budget that rejects half a billion federal dollars to expand Medicaid.
The Affordable Care Act makes available to states billions of dollars for Medicaid and Medicare. In Florida the expansion would allow an extra 1.9 million to receive Medicaid.
Wednesday Florida and 25 other states ended three days of arguments against the new health care law in front of the US Supreme Court.
Governor Rick Scott has been following the proceedings and is confident the state will prevail. "If you listen to what the justices say yesterday it appears that we have a great opportunity for the mandate to be declared unconstitutional which would be a big win for our state."
But if Florida loses, the state will have to play catch up. Karen Woodall, with the Florida Center for Fiscal and Economic Policy says quality will suffer in the scramble. "It puts us behind the eight ball and we run the risk of not being able to secure the money that is out there to facilitate the changes."
Most of the money the state has already rejected could be reclaimed if the state acts quickly, but there's no substitute for lost time.
Not all federal health care money flowing into Florida has to be approved by the state legislature. More than a hundred million dollars has already been given to Florida research facilities and nonprofit health care charities.

The Florida Elections Commission (FEC) is the administrative agency charged with enforcing Chapters 104 and 106 of Florida's Election Code. The agency is composed of nine appointed Commissioners and its staff is administratively housed within the Department of Legal Affairs. However, the FEC is a separate budget entity and is not subject to the control, supervision or direction of the Attorney General.
The purpose of the FEC is to ensure transparency in Florida's elections. In their capacity as quasi-judicial officers, the Commissioners adjudicate cases. Additionally, they act as the agency head. Commissioners hire an Executive Director who supervises a staff that includes a General Counsel, several investigators and a Commission Clerk.
The FEC is not permitted to give advisory opinions to anyone. Furthermore, the FEC does not have jurisdiction over candidate qualifying issues, how elections are run or how votes get counted.

We're Cuckoo for Cocoapods!
When we first started iOS development here at Cloudspace we found managing libraries in Objective-C to be extremely inconvenient. Organizing and maintaining the application code, along with all the shared libraries we've written, and a bunch of third party code (not to mention all their dependencies) wound up consuming quite a bit of time. Since we frequently work with Ruby, we've been spoiled with Gems. Our work in Objective-C felt a bit sluggish in comparison, so we set out to find a way to apply the same basic concept of RubyGems to our iOS projects.
After a few months of managing everything by hand we stumbled upon Cocoapods and were blown away. I don't know how it remained hidden from us for so long, but it's hands down one of the most useful iOS/OS X development tools there is. Written in Ruby (which we love), Cocoapods is a command line tool that handles basically all your library and dependency management. It's modeled after Gems/Bundler and works very similarly. Simply define a
podfile in your project directory, listing all your libraries, and run
pod install. It will build a new Xcode workspace file that includes your project along with a Pods project containing all the libraries you requested and dependencies needed. Simply open this workspace instead of your project, include the new libraries in your headers, and suddenly hours of organizing code, managing dependencies, debugging missing linked libraries, and handling updates is all just done for you.
For a great basic example, here is the
podfile for one of our soon to be released open source apps, Easy Reader (an RSS feed reader/manager).
platform :ios, '6.0'
# Cocopods public repository
pod 'SDWebImage', '~> 3.2'
pod 'MBProgressHUD', '~> 0.6'
pod 'MFSideMenu', '~> 0.4.8'
pod 'TestFlightSDK', '~> 1.3.0beta2'
pod 'MagicalRecord', '~> 2.1.0'
pod 'SVPullToRefresh'
pod 'AFNetworking', '~> 1.2.0'
# Cloudspace private repository
pod 'CSEnhancedTableView', '~> 0.0.1'
pod 'CSStandardViewControllers', '~> 0.0.1'
pod 'CSShortcuts', '~> 0.0.1'
At the top we define the platform we're compiling to. This doesn't actually overwrite compiler settings, but it will check all that all the libraries you've chosen are compatible.
Next we have the pods (libraries) we want in our project. At Cloudspace we have our own private set of pods that we use in addition to the common public pods, so I like to keep them listed separately. When
pod install is run, each of the listed libraries (and their dependencies) will be added to the Pods project at the requested version. In many of the cases above we use
~> before the versions, this means Cocoapods will install the latest minor revision of a library with the listed version being the minimum allowed. You can also use
>= to get the newest version after what was listed, or just not list a version to always get the latest available (this isn't advised unless there are no version numbers available as you don't know what you'll get).
Podspecs - Revision Control at Heart
Unlike Ruby's Gems, instead of using a single host (e.g. rubygems.org) Cocoapods always references external code repositories (generally that of the original author). It offers support for referencing git, subversion, and mercurial repositories (should you have them installed). This does have the downside of the possibility of something happening to the repo, but allows for extreme flexibility as you can create your own pods very quickly (we'll go over that later) or even make pods to reference code managed by someone else with hardly any effort at all.
Each Pod that's available to install is defined by a
podspec file (see the podspec spec here). There is a public collection of
podspecs maintained by Cocoapods and stored in a GitHub repository (This public repo doesn't contain any actual code, just the specs). This repo is included in Cocoapods by default, though you can add your own too.
podspec files contain information about the library, it's author, copyright, license, etc, as well as the supported platforms, versions, needed dependencies, and source locations.
Below is an example
podspec out of the public repo for ABContactHelper version 0.0.1 (a great Address Book API wrapper library by Erica Sadun):
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
s.name = 'ABContactHelper'
s.version = '0.0.1'
s.license = 'BSD'
s.summary = 'Objective-C Address Book wrapper.'
s.homepage = 'https://github.com/erica/ABContactHelper'
s.author = { 'Erica Sadun' => '' }
s.source = { :git => 'https://github.com/erica/ABContactHelper.git', :commit => 'de4bc411fd45db5e7b5b13f38704764bc1e1bcd1' }
s.platform = :ios
s.source_files = 'ABContact.{h,m}', 'ABGroup.{h,m}', 'ABContactsHelper.{h,m}'
s.frameworks = 'AddressBook', 'AddressBookUI'
Here you can see all the available metadata (which is both nice to know, and used to populate the search on cocoapods.org) as well as the listed source (which specifies a specific git commit for this version) and platform. It also defines which files out of the source repository are necessary and which Apple frameworks need to be included to make it all work.
pod install is run the
podspecs for each version of each pod are parsed, verified against your listed platform/version, and added to your application workspace. Since Cocoapods is git based, with the main repository held on github, it is possible for your
podspecs to get out of date. You can easily update them to the newest version by running
pod repo update.
Pods for Private Libraries
Not every piece of code written is intended to be for the public (unless maybe you're RMS), so submitting
podspecs for your own libraries to the main public repo just isn't always an option. Thankfully, you can add your own
podspec repositories to Cocoapods with the following command:
pod repo add my-spec-repo http://github.com/my-account/spec-repo.git
Since Cocoapods uses git and all the git settings on your machine, support for accessing private repos with ssh-key access is automatic. If you don't use ssh keys and you have a private repo you may have some issues having to type your password over and over. To stay sane we highly recommend adding keys from your dev machine to your github account.
The repo layout is quite simple. Simply create folders with the name of each pod, then subfolders with the respective release version numbers, and then a single file inside each of those folders with the name
[your pod name].podspec. For some great examples take a look through the public Cocoapods spec repo.
Once you've got your repo set up and added to Cocoapods you can use your own pods in your
podfile and
pod install. A private
podspec repo allows you to easily managed shared internal libraries amongst multiple people and projects and can prevent many headaches.
Overall, we love Cocoapods! It's an amazing tool that lets us build projects in a more efficient and reliable manner, saving us time and our clients money. We've used it on a number of projects and definitely will to continue to in the future. If you're a fellow developer looking to start using Cocoapods definitely check out Ray Wenderlich's Cocoapods tutorial. It's incredibly detailed and walks you through every step of the way.
Have a question about Cocoapods that you didn't see covered here? Let us know, and we'll get on it in two shakes of a lambs tail!

US: Obama win should fuel electric car production - Tesla CEO
By Graeme Roberts | 13 November 2012
The re-election last week of President Barack Obama will likely mean a continuation of the US government's policy promoting electric and hybrid vehicles, Elon Musk, chief executive of electric car maker Tesla Motors, said.
"I think that we can expect at least that things will continue as they have," Musk told Reuters at an event in New York. "I wouldn't expect it to get any worse for electric vehicles, hopefully it will get a little better."
Musk also said he would back any effort to boost federal tax credits for electric cars to as much as US$10,000. He also said the company would install fast-charging stations on major routes throughout the US by the end of next year.
Obama has said he would like 1m plug-in hybrids, extended-range electric cars and pure electric vehicles on US roads by 2015, a target that many analysts view as unrealistic given high EV prices and the lack of charging infrastructure.
Tesla's electric car, the Model S, costs between $49,900 to $69,900 after a $7,500 federal tax credit. On Monday, the car won Motor Trend magazine's 2013 'Car of the Year'.
Next year, the bulk of Tesla's engineering will be devoted to the Model X, a crossover utility vehicle that will be rolled out in 2014. Tesla is also about to begin designing its third-generation car, a mass-market car that will cost around $30,000.
"We've got to stay the course, ramp up production, we've got to start making the next generation of vehicles affordable," Musk said during an event to announce the Motor Trend award.
Tesla received a $465m loan from the US Department of Energy in early 2010, under the same programme that provided federal loans to Ford and Fisker Automotive to develop green cars and advanced batteries, as well as create jobs.
But slow sales of electric cars even with the federal tax credit have cast doubt on the programme. Musk said in the long-term Tesla's sales would probably be evenly divided between Asia, the Americas and Europe.
Tesla is considering installing 'superchargers' at hotels to address the spotty access to car charging stations in the US. By the end of next year, the automaker expects all major routes in the United States will have access to superchargers that replenish electric car batteries within 30 minutes. Washington DC and Boston will be covered within the next month, he said.

Thanks to all for an awesome dance this past Saturday! Bill Fischer was an excellent (and superfun) caller as always, and Riverbend and Friends played their best dance for us to date — the music was totally rocking. Also kudos to our new dancers, who leapt in with both feet and really distinguished themselves. I've been attending contras for many years in multiple states (not to say multiple countries!), including some pretty big-name venues, and this past weekend was absolutely as much fun as I've ever had at a dance.
Thanks to everyone in the Central Mass contra community for making the Worcester contra dance such a great event!

ZF-260: ready to use user and rule system and ofcouse a profile system
all applications somehow need a user login and profile system and rules for the priviliges for their users. I have been using asp.net since 2003 and membership and tules are ready for me there. but I need to use php in my new project and I like to see that kind ready to use membership and rules and profile system.
actually most of developers use ready systems for their applications and that would be good big plus for the framework.
See the proposals for Zend_Session, Zend_Acl, and Zend_Authenticate:
We will track progress in addressing this issue's requests through the proposals (and coresponding ZF components) above.

Cajun Pecan-Crusted Catfish
Crunchy, battered catfish fillets have jumped out of the Louisiana backwaters to become a national favorite, thanks in large part to the Cajun cooking craze that started in the '80s. Here, the fillets are coated in a spicy melange of cornflakes and pecans and baked for a traditional yet surprisingly healthy take on this bayou favorite.Yield: 4 servings
Active Time: 15
Total Time: 40
- 1/2 cup nonfat buttermilk
- 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco, or 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 cups cornflakes
- 1/2 cup pecan pieces
- 1 pound catfish fillets, about 1 inch thick, cut into 4 portions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Blend buttermilk, hot sauce (or cayenne), oregano, chili powder and garlic salt in a shallow dish. Pulse cornflakes in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. Transfer to a large plate. Pulse pecans in the food processor until coarsely chopped; mix the pecans with the cornflake crumbs. (Alternatively, place cornflakes in a sealable bag and crush with a rolling pin; chop nuts with a knife.)
- Dip each catfish fillet in the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the cornflake mixture, coating both sides. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the catfish for 25 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately.

Briggs' Wooden Banjo
For quite some time I wanted to make an 1850s style wooden face banjo similar to the banjo on the cover of Briggs' Banjo Instructor.
I finally made myself one, but i
nstead of the slotted head,
I used a scroll pattern peg head .
I now have an all-weather banjo! This banjo is no more susceptible to moisture or temperature than a guitar.
I brought it to the Frog Holler Rendezvous this April, where it rained 4 out of the 5 days I was there and it stayed in tune with no difficulty.
The 12 inch Briggs' style wooden face fretless banjo comes with the scroll style peg head standard, a scale length of approximately 26" and a double ogee mahogany neck with a rosewood finger board.
The maple wood shell is approx. 5/8 inches in thickness. It is approx. 2 1/2 inches deep.
(If you want a slotted peg head version with geared tuning pegs and a straight neck to more closely resemble the cover art of Briggs' Banjo Instructor, I could do one for the same price. Please contact me if you are interested.)
For additional photos, see
Banjo Gallery 5
Here is a sound sample from the above banjo strung with new Nylagut strings.
It is more subdued and mellow in tone than its rawhide counterpart, but still has a nice volume.
I've used it for a a couple gigs now and it holds its own with mandolin and fiddle.
Neck as shown
with the rosewood fingerboard, friction tuning pegs and tail piece. (Option: Straight neck with slotted peg head and mechanical tuners.)
Briggs' style Wooden Face Banjo ............................................
Optional "PegHed" planetary tuners.........................additional $150.00
The banjo above is fitted with planetary tuners which, even close up, look almost exactly like ebony friction pegs.
See Shipping and Handling (S&H) for delivery charges.
Black Coffin case is extra (See "Cases" for pricing).
Cases are substantially discounted when ordered together with a banjo.

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch, extended until 2 p.m. Wednesday, for much of Southern New England.
"Multiple waves of showers and thunderstorms will move across Southern New England through Wednesday afternoon." the flood watch said.
"A lot of things have to come together," said National Weather Service meteorologist Bill Simpson, but there is "the potential for torrential downpours and gusty winds. . . . We expect [flash flooding] is a possibility in any of these storms."
The forecasters also issued small craft advisories to boaters in the waters off Massachusetts.
PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Rain from Hurricane Arthur sweeps Mass. [Photos]
The chance of heavy rain and thunderstorms persists through Tuesday and into Wednesday. Tuesday will likely be overcast and rainy all day, with daytime temperatures rising to the low 80s and overnight lows reaching the upper 60s.
"The greatest risk appears to be late Tuesday into Wednesday," the flash flood watch said.
By Wednesday, the chance for thunderstorms will probably be contained to early in the day, with the biggest threat being before 2 p.m. Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night, showers are likely, though mainly before 8 p.m. Clouds will persist, with low temperatures falling to the mid-60s.
Skies will begin to clear by Thursday, Simpson said, and temperatures will be below normal for this time of year, only rising to the upper 70s. The same sunny skies and cool temperatures are likely to roll over into Friday.Kiera Blessing can be reached at email@example.com.

Ryan Edwards and girlfriend Shelby Woods began dating in the summer of 2013.
From there, things appeared to be going quite well, Shelby met Ryan's parents and son, and everyone seemed to love her -- especially Ryan. However, late last month, things took a turn for the worse.
After some sort of incident went down between them, Shelby took to Twitter, hinting that Ryan had cheated. Although Ryan denied any such thing at first, he later appeared to have owned up to his wrongdoing and began to plead for Shelby to come back to him -- and it worked.
Over a week after their initial break up, these two appear to be back on.
On Tuesday night, March 4, Ryan tweeted a photo of them together with the caption, "My best friend! @shelby_woods2." A short time later, he officially asked Shelby out, tweeting, "@shelby_woods2 will you be my girl friend?"
Although Shelby hasn't accepted the request online, she did make a joke about the tweet, and seems to be quite civil with Ryan. If she wasn't, she surely wouldn't have been with him last night.
Since Ryan seems, by most accounts, to have cheated on Shelby, it's surprising to see her take him back. Hopefully, this time around, he treats her right.

God has a way of piecing together His promises in ways we would never expect. In her debut novel, A Promise in Pieces (Quilts of Love series from Abingdon Press/April 15, 2014/ISBN: 9781426758850/$13.99), Emily T. Wierenga presents the story of two women who met under the worst of circumstances but were able to turn their grief into healing for those they came into contact with.
After nursing school, Clara Wilson feels the call of freedom pull her away from both her small town and the watchful eye of her strict parents. In the midst of World War II, Clara and her best friend, Eva, see the hurt in the eyes of those who have already lost loved ones in the war. Hoping to save the lives of more soldiers, the two join the Army Nurse Corps and soon find themselves in Normandy.
Once the war is over, Clara must fulfill a dying soldier's last wish: convey his love to his young widow, Mattie, by delivering his last letter with apologies for the missed life they planned to share. Struggling with her own post-war trauma, Clara doesn't think she is prepared to handle the grief of this broken family. After meeting Mattie and receiving a baby quilt that will never cuddle the soldier's hoped-for child, Clara vows to honor the sacrifices that family made.
When Clara returns to her hometown, she settles into life as a midwife. She wraps each newborn in the gifted quilt and later stitches the child's name into the cloth. As each baby is welcomed by the quilt, Clara begins to wonder whatever happened to Mattie — and if either of them will ever experience love and a family of her own. Having witnessed so much loss, Clara fears marriage and motherhood most of all. Little does Clara know what God has in store for her or the importance of the quilt in the lives of those it touches. Years later, she will have the opportunity to re-gift the special quilt, carrying even greater significance than when it was first bestowed.
"I connect with Clara, who is a very broken person," says Wierenga. "She's a pastor's daughter who, like me, was disillusioned about religion and desperate to encounter God for herself. I too needed to get away from home in order to realize that God had been there the whole time. My relationship with God was restored upon returning home to care for my mum. I've also battled infertility and miscarriage and could relate to Clara's fear of loss."
Wierenga hopes in reading A Promises in Pieces that readers will find the courage to love, especially if loss and fear have been standing in their way. "God mends the most broken of hearts and places the lonely in families."

When I started searching for dresses, I didn't know exactly what I was looking for but I knew there had to be certain things on the dress in order to make me love it. I wanted it to be strapless, have a corset, have beading or crystals of some type, look princess like, not have a train (or a very small one) and be a ball gown cut. When I saw this dress after searching on the internet, I knew it was the one. I went to try it on and saved it for last after seeing some others that were of interest and it was still the stand out dress.
- Alterations: An invisible bustle was done on the dress. Due to the corset back, no other alterations were made.
- Preservation Method: The dress has been stored in a cleaning bag and a dress bag, in the dark to avoid discoloration.

Anita Wardell may be the best-kept secret in vocal jazz today. While she has a substantial following in the UK, she is virtually unknown in the United States. Her imported albums are pricey and sometimes difficult to find. But rest assured, she is well worth seeking out! Blessed with a pure straight vocal tone, remarkable agility and boundless imagination, she is not only one of the best scat singers in jazz today, but also a master of vocalese. One of her finest accomplishments is her lyricized version of Lee Morgan's trumpet solo on "Moanin'" (see the video here), and while her CD version is wonderful, I've chosen her up-tempo version of "My Shining Hour" for her marvelous scat solo. Wardell approaches scatting in a purely instrumental manner, and her deep knowledge of chromatic harmony allows her to explore the nooks and crannies within the chord changes. In her three-chorus scat solo, she darts through the chords with ease, creating bop lines that would make an instrumentalist proud. She outlines chords particularly well, her note choices are surprising, and her phrase lengths are quite varied—all elements that are usually missing in scat solos. Her improvisations could—and should—change the way the jazz audience hears and appreciates vocal jazz. All that is necessary is for Anita Wardell to be heard.

A steaming hot cup of coffee is how most people start their day. Some may prefer tea or cocoa but the ritual is essentially the same and is repeated every day in millions of homes and offices around the World. The new Vue Series of brewers from Keurig will brew your favorite beverage just the way you want it with more brew sizes and options than their previous K-cup brewers.
The Keurig Vue Brewing System is currently available in 3 models for home use, (V500, V600, and V700) and a larger model Vue V1200 which is commercial grade and suitable for continuous use in a busy office or commercial environment. Each brewer works with Vue pack beverage cups to provide the ultimate single cup brewing experience for Coffee, Tea, Cafe Beverages, and beverages brewed over ice.
Keurig kindly provided a Vue V700 model for my review. I'm sure I would have been happy with any of the Vue home brewers but the V700 has some enhanced features that I really liked.
The small footprint of the V700 fits neatly on top of the small bookcase I had targeted for a coffee station upstairs near my office with plenty of space left for Vue Pack beverages beside the brewer.
Filling the water reservoir can be a challenge with some brewers but not the V700. Keurig designed it with 3 fill options. The entire reservoir can be removed from the brewer, filled with water, and the replaced very easily. The weight of the filled reservoir of 74 oz. of water might be a bit more than you want to move around so you also have the option of removing the entire cover of the reservoir and pouring water in through the large opening. If you want to fill the reservoir with the least amount of fuss and bother, you can opt to flip open the hinged front part of the lid and pour water in that way. Condensed moisture collects on the inside of the tank above the water level so it's a bit hard to see the Maximum Fill Line mark inside the tank. I put a sticker at the fill line on the front of the tank where I could see it when adding water. I hope a future update will add a more visible Fill Line on the front of the tank.
If the brewer senses that the water level is low, a light will start flashing below the tank and the control panel will display the message 'Please Add Water'. Once water is added, the brewer will return to normal and resume brewing.
Adjustable Temperature Settings: The V700 comes with a default temperature setting of 192º F but you can adjust the temperature in 1 degree increments between 187º - 197º F. In my opinion, all beverages were brewed at the perfect temperature but if you prefer something different, the excellent manual will tell you how to adjust the temperature to your liking.
We've had a K-cup brewer for about 3 years and it has served us well but the new Vue Brewers have extended the range of brew sizes beyond those of the K-cup brewers. The V700 will brew a larger cup of coffee without losing the character and flavor of your favorite blend.
Brew size selection will vary depending on the beverage you choose:
Coffee brews in cup sizes ranging from 4 oz. to the full sized 18 oz. travel mug.
Tea/Other brews in cup sizes from 6 oz. to a 12 oz. travel mug.
Hot Cocoa brews in cup sizes from 8 oz. to 10 oz. capacities.
It's true that Vue cup beverages are slightly more expensive than K-cups. In most cases the difference is only about 5 cents a cup more. That's because Vue cups contain more coffee to brew a great cup of coffee in sizes up to an 18 oz. travel mug. There is even a special Travel Mug Vue cup size for those really large travel mugs.
Brew your coffee extra strong by selecting the Strong setting on the control panel. Strong is the default setting when you receive your brewer so just tap the touch screen to deselect it or activate it again. The Strong option is only available for coffee beverages.
The aroma of fresh brewed coffee in the morning is wonderful but I've never liked the taste of coffee until now. The Vanilla Latte brewed in the V700 did it. I love it! After that, I realized that it was actually dark roast coffee that I don't like. Light roast and medium roast varieties taste lovely. I was just tasting the wrong type of coffee all these years.
Cafe Beverages including the Vanilla Latte, Cafe Mocha Specialty, and Cappuccino are each brewed with a Frother Vue-cup and a Coffee Vue-cup in a very simple process. Insert the Frother Vue-cup in the brewer and close it. Then select Cafe Beverage on the control panel and the Frother menu pops up. The default size is 4 oz. which you can change if you wish. When the settings are to your liking just hit the Brew button. When it's finished frothing, you will be prompted for the settings of the coffee. Adjust the settings the way you want, swap out the empty frother Vue-cup and insert the Coffee Vue-cup. Close it and push the Brew button again. Enjoy your delicious Cafe treat. Latte Creator Packs are also available in Creamy and Mocha varieties that you can pair with your favorite Vue Cup coffee for a unique Cafe beverage.
Vue V700 Brewer Features:
- Fully programmable color Touchscreen: Easy to see and select your brewing options
- Preheats in about 4 minutes before you brew your first cup in the morning.
- Brews each cup in under one minute: Tea is ready to drink as soon as the water is in the cup. No more waiting for tea to steep.
- Strength & Temperature control: Use the Strong option for your coffee and set the temperature between 187º - 197º F just the way you like it.
- Eight brew sizes – from 4 oz. up to a full size 18 oz. travel mug
- Energy Savings Mode – Auto On/Off or turn the brewer on and off manually.
- Enjoy beverages hot or over ice
- Enjoy Cafe Beverages: Brew frothy café beverages using a Vue Pack Frother cup and a Vue Pack Coffee variety.
- Large, removable 74 oz. water reservoir with easy fill, flip-top lid: 3 easy ways to fill the reservoir.
- Removable drip tray with adjustable plate: Adjusts to fit a small coffee cup to a very tall travel mug and protects your countertop from drips.
- Cord storage keeps the cord safely out of the way.
- BPA free
- Keurig.com Brewer purchases carry a 30-day Money Back Guarantee. See details online.
- Includes a Welcome kit and a Use and Care Guide for your Vue Brewer.
Vue Brewers are designed to work with Vue Pack beverages and are not compatible with K-cups.
The available selection of Vue Pack beverages is not yet as vast as for the K-cup brewers but more Vue-cup beverages will be added over time. Keurig partners with more than 3 dozen companies to offer over 200 varieties of Keurig approved coffee, tea, hot cocoa and Brew Over Ice beverages for the Keurig Brewing Systems. Look for the Keurig Brewed Seal which is their pledge that the product has passed rigorous testing, assuring the quality, taste and safety you expect from Keurig.
Coffee lovers will find a good selection of Vue Packs in Light, Medium, and Dark Roast as well as Regular and Decaf varieties of some of your favorite coffee brands. Starbucks, Folgers Gourmet, Green Mountain, Dunkin Donuts, Emeril's Gourmet, Newman's Own, Barista Prima Coffeehouse, Timothy's, and other premium quality coffee brands have already developed Vue Pack varieties of their coffee beverages for Keurig. My personal favorite is the Vanilla Latte from Barista Prima which is made in a 2 step process with a Vue pack for the froth and another Vue Pack for the coffee.
Green Mountain and others have created Travel Mug Vue Packs to capture the hearty flavor of your favorite brew in a full-sized travel mug up to 18 oz.
Tea lovers will enjoy several varieties of Celestial Seasonings tea for brewing hot or over ice. I found that the iced tea varieties were equally good when brewed hot instead of over ice. The Vue brewer will also dispense hot water for use with your favorite tea bag, instant coffee, or bouillon cube.
Your new Vue Brewer will come with a free sample pack of beverages. My Vue V700 Brewer came with the following varieties but the selection my vary with the brewer you select and availability at any given time.
Bonus Vue cup variety box includes:
- 1 Barista Prima Italian Roast Coffee
- 1 Café Escapes Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa
- 1 Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Herbal Tea
- 1 Celestial Seasonings Southern Sweet Iced Tea
- 1 Gloria Jean's Hazelnut Coffee
- 1 Green Mountain Coffee Breakfast Blend Travel Mug Coffee
- 1 Green Mountain Coffee Nantucket Blend Coffee
- 1 The Original Donut Shop Extra Bold Coffee
- 1 Timothy's Columbian Decaf Coffee
- 1 Tully's® French Roast Coffee

Dexter Phillip has done a lot of interesting things in his life from working with models, celebrities and high end fashionistas as a celebrated stylist and makeup artist, as a writer, as an entrepreneur with his own makeup line and studio, and now, he's added " Esthetician" to his list of skills. This intelligent and personable man exudes charm, but behind his engaging smile and elegant image there's a quest for excellence and success.
Dex's makeup studio is located at 745 Fifth Ave, 5th Fl, New York, NY and while he has logged more than two decades working with models, celebrities, and high end clients in the world of fashion and beauty, his private DEX New York makeup studio and DEX New York Cosmetics makes everyone feel like they deserve to be on the red carpet, with a variety of beauty and makeup application services. But over the years, Dex realized that skin is a canvas, and good skincare and therefore, good skin, is just as important to an overall image as what you put on it. So Dex, being the go-getter that he is, went back to school to learn how he could provide value added to his client. Not everyone would take the time to actually train as a licensed Esthetician, but that's just what Dex did. And then he teamed up with plastic surgeon David Shafer, MD FACS at Shafer Plastic Surgery at 120 East 53rd Street, 25th floor in Manhattan, , to create the new Dex MedSpa, offering a customizeable menu of treatments for Dex's existing clients, and to offer additional services for Dr. Shafer's clients seeking pre-, post-surgery and on-going, skincare.
A few months ago I visited Dex at the new Dex Medi Spa at Shafer Plastic Surgery. This is a professional physician's office environment. I was warmly greeted by the staff at the front desk, and as you can see from my photo of the outside of Dr. Shafer's offices, looking in, the office is comfortable but i'ts not a glamorous salon environment as you'd expect from Dex's Makeup studio. That's just as it should be since this is a place for professional skin treatments. But once I walked down the hall into the area where Dex does his work, the environment was still professional, but welcoming. Dex was as usual, impeccably dressed, and wearing a white coat warming up the room with his smile. This man has the kind of self-assured ease that puts you at ease, too. You can feel his passion in everything he does, and when it comes to this new MediSpa, the quality and dedication is obvious.
The first thing he did was tell me more about why he was motivated to create this new venture, but in essence, he realized that while color cosmetics can help people look better, improving their skin is really the first step to longer lasting well being and image. He has become passionate about treating his client's skin beyond just makeup application. Dex states "regular facial treatments are a must, and lead to long-term skin health and radiance." For optimal results, he recommends having a customized treatment once-a-month.
For starters, every DEX MedSpa treatment starts with an in-depth skin analysis using a high tech VECTRA XT 3D scan by Canfield. This machine is non-invasive and painless. Like many of these facial skin imaging assessment devices, you simply put your face (makeup removed) on a chin rest, and the camera scans your skin for various factors such as fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, sun damage, etc.. For Reveal, it's vascular conditions and underlying sun damage. After the scan in completed, which takes just a minute or so, clients get an actual color print out of their actual skin at that moment in time. The brown spots and lines can really be unsettling to someone who has never seen a facial scan before, and who doesn't have the tools to interpret the scan. But Dex goes over the scan with his clients, and then will make recommendations for specific treatments and products. Over time, the scan can be repeated. The great thing is that as a client's skin improves thanks to Dex's treatment and the products used, a client can actually see his or her skin improve in the scans -- undeniable proof that their skin is actually getting better. A picture really is worth a thousand words, priceless, actually.
As far as the treatments, the menu of services are meant to provide visible results, but most people will need more than one treatment to get optimal results. The goal of most of these treatments is to brighten the skin and provide clearer, more glowing, more youthful looking skin. Some of the popular, key treatments are: Advanced Deep Pore Cleansing Treatment (60 minutes - deep pore cleansing, aroma therapeutic steam, enzyme exfoliation, gentle extraction, invigorating massage, and a treatment mask customized to your skin's needs); a Rejuvenating Age-Diffusing Treatment Facial (90 minutes - all the steps of an advanced deep pore cleansing treatment but with bio-scientific ingredients targeted to the signs of aging or mature skin); or perhaps a ReVita C Antioxidant Treatment (90 minutes - an antioxidant treatment incorporating galvanic current with skin bleaching enzymes including lemon extract and fresh oranges to brighten skin, reduce freckles/age spots and even skin tone). There are also some Peels and Microdermabrasion treatments, plus a clarifying acne treatment and while you're at it, a 24K Gold Collagen Firming Eye Treatment as an add-on to handle puffiness and under-eye issues, or an eyelash dip that lets you ditch the mascara for up to four weeks. If you want, you can also get an makeup application with Dex at the MediSpa as well, for $175,00. Customized Skincare Treatments starting at $250. This is not inexpensive, but certainly in line with what other estheticians would charge for exclusive, private services in the New York area.
According to Dex, one of the most popular treatments is the HydraFacial MD resurfacing procedure, which thoroughly cares for your skin and goes beyond traditional microderm and chemical peels by providing cleansing, exfoliation, extractions and hydration, including a 'Vortex-Fusion' of antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid," While I didn't get the entire soup-to-nuts treatment, I did experience the Reveal scan which (predictably) showed that my skin had some issues, but not as bad as I thought it would be, and then I was able to experience a truncated version of Dex's facial. I left with glowing skin that, even though I had removed my foundation, looked nice "au natural." I also got a chance to meet a representative from SkinMedia, a brand of serious skincare that I personally like, and that Dex recommends to his clients. I left with some of Dex's recommendations for my skin including two products my own dermatologist recommends for me: the Skin Medical Tri-Retinol Complex ($75.00 1 fl. oz.) an excellent, fragrance-free moisturizer with retinol; and SkinMedica TNS Ultimate Daily Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 ($88.00 2 fl. oz.) with 7.5% Octinoxate and 5.3% Zinc Oxide. Dex also suggested SkinMedica's Lytera Skin Brightening Complex ($125.00 2 fl. oz.) a, non-prescription, non-Hydroquinone skin brightening product that minimizes the appearance of skin discoloration and dark spots. *TIP: if you use products with retinol or a product like Lytera you must use a sun sprotection spf 20 or higher.
If you live in New York or plan to visit, call 212-888-7770 for an appointment or for more information visit http://www.shaferplasticsurgery.com/ and check out the MedSpa section of the web site where all the treatments are detailed.

Spoilers for episode 18 of "Revenge" reveal that Victoria Grayson will be targeting Mason Treadwell to get information. The Amarillo Globe-News reports on April 4 that Victoria will be trying to uncover the secrets Emily Thorne has been hiding, and she hopes to use Mason in the process.
Emily's latest threat in the episode titled "Blood" is Mason who is angry and wants to discuss their deal. Mason is not satisfied with the way things are progressing, and Emily's recent scare makes him wonder if he will be in jail forever. He shares that Victoria visited him in jail, and he is now threatening to reveal Emily's secrets if she does not make progress.
Although Mason knows Victoria wants to use him and is not falling for her lies, he is still willing to consider her offers because jail has made him desperate. Victoria is focused on exposing Emily and finding out her secrets, so she is willing to use anyone who could help her.
Fans are left wondering if Mason can be trusted for long and if Victoria will be able to find out the information she wants by using him. As the show gets closer to the season finale, there are still many unanswered questions, and one of the biggest issues is who will be killed in the last episode. "Revenge" has already shared a major character will die at the end, but the identity remains a secret. Most of the suggestions have focused on Nolan Ross or Jack Porter dying, yet there are other possibilities that remain in danger.
