2015 Tony Awards: Who will win?
The 69th annual Tony Awards ceremony (airing this Sunday on CBS at 8pm EST) looks to be a fairly unpredictable one—the 2015 contenders should be genuflecting to the theater gods that Hamilton decided to wait to hit Broadway until next season, where the evening is likely to be a foregone conclusion. But this year? Not so easy. Could the beloved Kelli O'Hara end her Susan Lucci-like Tonys course and defeat cohost Kristin Chenoweth? Will the dramatic acting categories be completely overtaken by Brits?Read Full Story

The standard treatment for chronic dry eye includes medications, daily eye drops and ointments to nourish the surface of the eye. In some cases, patients have been prescribed omega-3 fatty acid supplements and topical steroids. Left untreated, chronic dry eye can lead to impaired vision or scarring of the eye.
But Intense Pulsed Light therapy (IPL) is being used at Mayo Clinic in Arizona to treat this condition that affects millions of people in the U.S., particularly in the desert Southwest. The IPL treatment targets patients who have evaporative dry eye, a subset of chronic dry eye. The condition results from ocular rosacea, inflammation of the eyelid skin, which causes the meibomian glands in the eyelids to fail to produce enough natural oil to slow the evaporation of tears. When that happens, patients experience a burning or gritty sensation, blurry vision and redness of the eyes.

Carr Lot proposals aired
MONTPELIER City officials and the public got a look Tuesday at two different developers visions for how the Carr Lot can be transformed into a multimodal transit and welcome center. About 100 people attended the forum.
The two developers, DEW Properties and Redstone, a commercial real estate development firm, responded to the citys request for proposals.
Mayor John Hollar, calling the event historic, explained that each developer would have an hour to share its vision.
In most respects, the proposals each respond to specific needs yet remain unique.
DEWs plan
The DEW team included representatives from the local Black River Design.
The reason Im so excited about this project is that I grew up in Montpelier, said Don Wells, president and principal of DEW, telling the packed meeting room at the Montpelier Senior Activity Center on Tuesday evening that we view this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Ive always wanted to do something special in Montpelier.
Wells said DEW has been talking to city officials since October about the project as well as the capitals community members. From a meeting in October, the company gleaned these visions for the Carr Lot: a destination, sustainability at different levels, a place to launch kayaks, riverfront access, a community space and more.
The site is within the floodway, and the company was told then that parking needed to be minimized on the site and off-site parking may need to be found; that the building could be between two and six stories in height; and that it needed to contain the long-hoped-for transit center, for which the city has two federal grants and has added city money.
Thats what we knew we had to respond to. We listened and we heard, said Wells.
DEW is one of the largest construction manager/general contractor firms in Vermont, recently wrapping up work on Barre City Place.
Jay Ancel, of Black River Design, said the company has worked with DEW on projects including the Newport Downtown Renaissance Block, work at the Montpelier fire and police stations, the city schools, and the hotel and water park at Jay Peak. The landscape architecture firm working with DEW designed the Hanover, N.H., transportation hub and has worked a great deal in Barre.
Wells said DEW has met with state officials to discuss a possibility of putting levels of parking on top of existing parking on Taylor Street and with the Basharas, who own Capitol Plaza Hotel and Conference Center, to discuss parking expansion partnership possibilities at a parking area that serves the familys hotel in the citys heart. We would really provide an opportunity to help solve the parking problem, he said, not add to the existing parking shortage.
The building DEW proposed is expected to cost $7.6 million and calls for up to 12 private residences.
Potential tenants for project were listed, including the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, the Vermont State Employees Association, the Vermont Association for the Blind and a confidential prospective tenant, which Wells said would be pursued. He said the company has met with the farmers market representatives and hopes it can work with them to be an integral piece of the plans.
The total size of the building proposed, including the multimodal transit center, is 46,000 square feet.
Redstones plan
Larry Williams, a principal with Redstone Commercial Group, introduced his team, including an architectural firm and landscape architects, saying both firms are world-class architects that just happen to live in Vermont.
The architectural firm is Gossens Bachman Architects.
This is a rare place-making opportunity for the city, said Williams. We think a public process is critical. The public input has to be gathered in the right order. We agree with the city that the quality of design on this project is very important.
Williams said the firm brings both experience and creativity, saying the city needs a partner that brings a project that is financially feasible to the table. He also said Redstone can demonstrate a long history of success and innovation. Were not sure if this is a hotel, a residential building, an office building, he said, noting there are many high-quality contractors in the region that can work with Redstone to bring its vision to fruition.
Williams said the firm has developed more than 40 projects and is a real estate brokerage and property management company that manages more than 1.5 million square feet of commercial space, including more than 700 tenants. It has developed the University of Vermonts Redstone Lofts and redeveloped the Banknorth Block in Burlington.
Williams showed through his presentation that the company has experience in public-private ventures of large scale and investment.
Chase Mill, a Burlington mill building on the Winooski River, is being renovated by the firm, which is also developing a hydro-electric project on the site, said Williams, pointing out the firms work in renewable energy and sustainability.
The architectural firm working with Redstone was the architect for the Montpelier district heating project, the Montpelier Senior Activity Center and more, and has a commitment to riverfront redevelopment, said Gregg Gossens, partner in the firm.
Gossens said DEW brought a designed project but that said Redstone plans more civic involvement in that process to build the project around community consensus.
Like DEW, Redstone envisions a green or living roof, and has experience through its landscape architect partner, including a green roof at Fletcher Allen Medical Center, where produce is grown and used in the hospitals cafeteria.
The Redstone project would allow buses to leave to the south and not have to go through downtown, the team explained. The plaza would face south. Both plans also include the bike path extension through the site, an important piece of the redevelopment plans.
Redstone also showed the hoped-for inclusion of the citys thriving farmers market as part of the plans. The Redstone project does not require off-site parking.
Redstones plans include several options for the upper floors, including a hotel, with the possible square footage up to 50,600 square feet and a maximum price tag of $15 million.
The office use for the upper floors, of 21,200 square feet, was shown to cost $4.68 million; for 41 residential units for the upper levels, 36,400 square feet and a price tag of $7.54 million.
Public reaction
Many visuals were offered by both firms.
Secretary of State Jim Condos, during the public question and answer period after the presentation by DEW, said the state is about 600 parking spaces short for state employees needs, and he expressed concerns about the Taylor Street bridge, saying its not wide enough to carry buses. Its not going to be conducive for buses coming across that bridge, and thats a major thoroughfare for commuters, he said.
Sustainability is a critical piece of what the city is hoping for in the building to go on the Carr Lot, and the firms partnering with DEW shared their experience in building projects with net zero energy use, including at the University of Vermont and at Putney School.
From the process, the firms working with DEW came up with a list of priorities, with the site being a living, breathing dynamic place being something they heard over and over again; also that the space needed to create a community destination and be pedestrian-oriented and a place that encourages community gathering.
Wells said DEW did not want to create any competition with any other city businesses; the proposal from Redstone includes a hotel for the upper floors as one of the possibilities. The development partner the city ultimately selects will own the upper floors and manage the tenants.

Gas tax hike nears; seen as a painful imperative
MONTPELIER By the middle of this week, the transportation bill about to be signed into law by Gov. Peter Shumlin will have added nearly six cents per gallon to the price of unleaded gas.
Opponents of the gas tax including a conservative super PAC hammering the Democrats who voted for it have focused intently on what the new surcharge is going to cost. State transportation officials, meanwhile, are far more concerned with what the money will buy.
Documents prepared by the Agency of Transportation in December specify the dozens of projects that would have fallen by the wayside this year if lawmakers had rejected the Shumlin administrations revenue-generating proposal.
From $1.7 million of resurfacing on Routes 4 and 7 in Rutland City to the replacement of Bridge 208 over Gold Brook in Stowe, more than $100 million in construction projects, state officials say, would have been delayed due to lack of funds.
The biggest issue for us is losing momentum on overall improvements in the system, Transportation Secretary Brian Searles said last week. This would not only have stopped us in our tracks, but we would have actually lost ground.
The list provided by Searles outlines 41 specific projects that would have been delayed by a year or more had the gas tax increase (and the $11 million in bonding to go with it) not been used to generate $36 million over the next year.
The money will prevent Vermont from sending $70 million back to the federal government for lack of matching funds.
In addition to postponing work on specific projects, the agency would have slashed $4 million from its budget for mowing, leveling and patching, cut equipment purchases at the central garage by $2.2 million, and eliminated a $440,000 grant used to help towns improve back roads projects.
The cuts also included the elimination of Amtraks Ethan Allen route it would have been replaced with a bus service, under the agency plan and a $1 million cut to the large-culvert replacement budget.
Searles said lawmakers would have likely used their legislative discretion to alter the list in places. But for each project lawmakers wanted to save from postponement, Searles said, fiscal realities would have demanded they relegate a project of equal cost to the chopping block.
Sen. Dick Mazza, chairman of the Senate Committee on Transportation, was among those to voice resistance to the gas tax at the outset of the 2013 legislative session. Once Searles used the spreadsheet to illustrate the depth of the shortfall, Mazza said, he began to realize the gravity of the situation.
The state transportation revenue woes stem largely from a years-long decline in gasoline consumption.
There was just no place to go in the budget to find the money wed need to avoid leaving federal money on the table, and leaving money on the table, for all of us, just was not an option, said Mazza, a Grand Isle Democrat.
Mazza said lawmakers could have skimmed from the $50 million pool of money used to fund town programs. Since its a line item that goes unmatched by the federal government, Mazza said, lawmakers could have halved the appropriation, redirected the money to federal-eligible projects, and avoided leaving federal money on the table without raising the gas tax.
But that pressure then is only going to show up in peoples property taxes, Mazza said. Because the towns still need to get those projects done, and so theyre just going to put them in the municipal budgets instead.
Maintenance is the other area of the agency funded purely by state revenues. But Mazza said lawmakers werent about to compromise the agencys ability to conduct things like basic snow removal. Nobody in this building wants to raise the gas tax, Mazza said. But thats just the situation were in.
Searles said the impacts of cutting a $100 million hole in the transportation fund about 15 percent of the overall budget would have been perceptible.
Closure to our bridges is rare now, and we dont even like to let our bridge ratings get to the point where were even close to having an emergency closure, Searles said. But a hole of this size in the budget would have put us in a position where that would become more likely.
Searles said the reductions would have also slowed the recovery from Tropical Storm Irene. Since the federal emergency recovery funds arent at risk of revocation if they go unused this year, according to Searles, the state would have diverted the state match away from those projects and toward ones for which the federal assistance would expire after fiscal year 2014.
The move would have delayed more than $22 million in Irene-related work, including corridor-improvement projects along Route 100, Route 4 and Route 12A.
Delays to paving, bridge and culvert projects would have postponed planned improvements in nearly every corner of the state, from the $5 million resurfacing of Route 2 between Waterbury and Bolton, to the replacement of the River Street bridge over the Otter Creek in Rutland City.
While political attacks over the gas tax will likely follow Democrats well into the 2014 election cycle, Gov. Peter Shumlin last week didnt seen worried.
Vermonters are the wisest people on earth they get it, Shumlin said. The last thing anyone wants to do is see gas prices go up. But when you look at the choice of what happens if we dont bring in those federal dollars, its a pretty bleak choice.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

Ski areas report robust holiday businessBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | January 03,2013
Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo Skiers at the Stratton Mountain Resor during the Christmas holiday week.The states ski resorts are basking in the afterglow of the first major holiday of the ski season one that received a boost from two well-timed storms that dumped more than two feet of snow over the Green Mountains.
The Christmas and New Years holiday period was one of the best in years with several resorts reporting record business, Parker Riehle, president of the Vermont Ski Areas Association, said Wednesday.
The percentage increase in business over last years holiday period, which was not a good year, was anywhere from 20 to 50 percent higher, Riehle said.
Just off the charts, he said.
Killington Resort, the largest resort in the East, reported a double-digit average increase in business levels over the holiday period compared to last year.
We were up 14 percent across the board, Killington spokeswoman Sarah Thorson said Wednesday. She said that includes lessons, food and beverage, retail, rental, lodging and skier visits.
It wasnt a record-breaking holiday at Okemo Mountain Resort, but an excellent holiday all the same, said Okemo spokeswoman Bonnie MacPherson.
Although exact numbers werent available, MacPherson said business was way up from the previous years holiday period.
Even before the recent storms, she said lodging reservations were already at 90 percent capacity.
The first major storm right after Christmas gave Okemos snowmakers a bit of a rest.
We were really scrambling prior to the holidays with snowmaking, MacPherson said. Going into that week, we had gone through 115 million gallons of water in our snowmaking system and wed logged over 500 man hours staffing snowmaking.
It was also an excellent holiday at Bolton Valley.
The fresh snow really helped boost business. Bolton Valley spokesman Josh Arneson said in an email. Overall, for the week we were ahead of budget and way ahead of last years numbers.
Not only did the storms make for ideal skiing conditions but that same snow fell down country in markets where the resorts draw many out-of-state skiers. The ski industry refers to that as the backyard effect, which puts people in the frame of mind to head north and put on their skis.
Compared to a year ago, that state of mind, along with more open terrain, helped business over the holiday at Mount Snow in West Dover, the states southernmost resort.
Certainly was an improvement, said Mount Snow spokesman David Meeker.
After last seasons snow drought, Decembers snowfall was a welcome change for the states ski industry.
Andy Nash, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Burlington, said snowfall this season is running well ahead of last year.
Nash said the state received 30.7 inches in December compared to 37 inches all of last season and just 6.9 inches in December a year ago.
Riehle said the recent storms covered the entire state.
I dont think Ive ever seen a snowstorm quite like this ... from Jay Peak all the way north to Mount Snow in the south, everybody got just about the same amount of snowfall, well over two feet, he said. Nobody got left out.
For businesses that piggyback on the success of the ski resorts, it was a profitable holiday as well.
Johnny Boys Pancake House on Killington Road came close to setting a record, serving 832 meals on New Years Eve and New Years Day, said owner LuAnne Petrone.
The Christmas holiday wasnt too crazy because its still home for the holiday and then this past weekend was fabulous, Petrone said.
Riehle said ski resorts hope to ride the momentum from the recent holiday. Up next is the Martin Luther King weekend followed by the Presidents Week holiday in February.
Winter tourism adds $500 million a year (2009) to the states economy in visitor spending, according to the Department of Tourism and Marketing.
Last year was an off year for the ski industry coinciding with the lack of snowfall.
The states 18 ski resorts recorded 3,903,171 skier and snowboarder visits during the 2011-12 season down 10.5 percent from the 4,365,906 visits the previous season, which was the best season since 2004-05. Nationally, skier visits last season were off 16 percent from the previous year.

In the last 20 years aromatherapy has spread its influence to the household, toiletries and personal care areas: consumer products claiming to relax or invigorate our psyche's have invaded our bathrooms, kitchen and living room areas. The numbers of therapists using essential oils in Europe and the USA has grown from a handful in the early 1980's to thousands now worldwide. We have had time to add to our bank of knowledge on essential oils from reflecting on many decades of aromatherapeutic development and history, the collection of
anecdotal information from practicing therapists, as well as from clinical & scientific investigations. We have also had enough time to consider the risks in employing essential oils in therapy. In the last twenty years, many more people have had accidents, been 'burnt', developed rashes, become allergic, and become sensitized to our beloved tools. Why is this?

Who Needs Roses? Pitchers and Catchers Report!
Angels pitchers and catchers reported for Spring Training today!!! They have their first warm-up tomorrow, along with 11 other teams in the Cactus and Grapefruit Leagues. The hint of baseball is in the air again! And, really, could anyone ask for a better Valentine than that? I'm not really a Valentine's Day kind of girl but, with the moved-up Spring Training schedule adding new meaning to the date, I might come to appreciate it after all!
Suddenly baseball articles are dominating the L.A. Times and the O.C. Register again, spring training games begin in a matter of weeks, Opening Day doesn't seem quite so far away and all is right with world…okay, all is far from right with the world, but it's just that much closer to right and I will take what I can get.
According to tweets from the first day back (that I read on Halos Heaven…I don't have a Twitter account) catcher Bobby Wilson worked out like a man on a mission this offseason and lost 34 pounds. I think this is exciting. He caught a few really good games last season and has a strong but inconsistent bat. If he's trying for a Nick Swisher like transformation in 2011, I am all for it. Based on last year's performances, all three candidates for catcher have different important components of the necessary skill set for the position. Competition for the catcher's position, spurring each player to improve areas of weakness, can only be a good thing for the team right now.
The L.A. Times blog reported that Jered Weaver arrived at Spring Training with a great attitude, has no hard feelings after the arbitration hearing and says he would still love to play for the Angels for a long time. Granted, this is the kind of thing a good sport is supposed to say when things don't go their way regardless of actual feelings on the matter, but I am choosing to take these comments at face value. The same article reported that long term contract discussions with Weaver have halted until next winter. I actually like this. Once Spring Training starts, I want everyone concentrating on 2011 and not worrying about 2012 contacts and beyond.
Suffice to say, the L.A. Times made me a lot happier than reading the O.C. Register's Blog Post "Arbitration Loses Usually Lead to Divorce" did. Apparently if you look back at the last five years, only Mariano Rivera and Wandy Rodriguez have remained with the team they lost to in arbitration once they reached free agency eligibility. Ouch. Oh…yeah…but…well…in the immortal words of the great Charlie Brown, tell your statistics to shut up! All jokes aside, it was a good blog post and I'm aware that the arbitration decision doesn't make for a great situation, but I'm just not going to spend all season worrying about it. Future Blithescribe can worry about Weaver's contract and Kendry Morales' too next winter.
Looking at the amount of Spring Training news posted on the blogs from journalists' and players' twitter accounts, I think I may need to finally break down and get a twitter account. I have avoided it for the longest time because most of the tweets I see auto-posted to FaceBook and Livejournal aren't interesting to me. I know that eventually someone is going to ask me to work with Twitter in a professional capacity – I switch hats between communications, marketing, PR and fundraising, but I'm basically a corporate writer/communications specialist – so I should probably dive in and get used to the ins and outs of it on my own, but I've been dragging my feet. If there's fun baseball information on Twitter, however, maybe that's just the prod I need to join.
In the mean time, it's finally Spring Training!!! And I am in such a bouncy, giddy good mood, it isn't even funny. I hope the coming days find all of you in the same state of mind.🙂
14 Comments
If I'm reading this correctly, Congratulations are in order.
Russel – Nope, I think maybe I was just confusing in my wording. Weaver is saying he's not peeved about the arbitration, but no long term deal has been made…or was I confusing about something else? Always a possibility🙂
Happy Valentine's Day AND Happy Spring Training Day! Talk about a double header. Hope it's a good one for you and, yes, you have to sign up for Twitter!
I used to be a Valentines guy until this year…long story. Glad Spring Training is upon us, though. You'll probably get a good look at Trout in the exhibition games, too. He's the number one prospect in baseball now. Have fun.
After reading this I'm gonna have to retract my "never eat those candy hearts again" statement. That's what Valentine's Day is about to me this year! I'm ready to go! Thanks for the sound off and here's to hoping Weaver and the Halos have kissed and made up.
I still think they'll do a deal with him before he gets a chance to move on.
Happy V… day, and Spring Training it's finally here and long over due…
As for Twitter, it sounds like you need it, from experience would suggest 2 accounts, one for fun personal use and a business one too.
Jane – Best. Double header. Ever…or at least recently!
Mike – I am sorry to hear that – it doesn't sound like a happy story. I am really excited to see Trout play. We're definitely going to the exhibition game with the Padres at the Big A and maybe to the Freeway exhibition game at Dodger stadium too, so we'll probably get to see him in action.
Jeff – LOL, baseball makes it all okay, even candy hearts.
Peter – I hope so! Thanks. Yeah, if I go on twitter I'll use the blithescribe name or something like that so the professional and personal streams never cross. I never write anything an employer couldn't see, but it's always a good idea to keep personal and professional separate.
Bobby Wilson and his dad were at the Toby Hall golf tourney. I actually did not recognize him until he told me his name on the putting green.
But that is what knowing you got a shot to "man-up" and claim a position can do to you. Knowing Mike Napoli was gone, it is Wilson's time to put it to the floor and cement himself a bit in the primary catcher's spot.
Love the Valentine's Day candies….I want the one that says "Grand Slam". I will send that to Matt Joyce who hit 2 in 2010….Ahhh past memories!
Rays Renegade
I created a twitter account, but never use it. I too am also thinking about using it though……if I can remember my password, lol. Anyway, I love the heart shaped candies. That was a good touch to this post!
Arbitration equals Aggravation. It forces a team to really disparage a guy.
Money is Short; Times are Hard. Here's Your freakin' Hallmark Card! Sorry, I ate the chocolate.
Happy Valentines! Dodger pitchers & catchers report Wednesday but I saw a few of boys today! It was a great event and tomorrow we get to see more.
Rays Renegade – That's right, I forgot Bobby Wilson is a Florida guy. He's sure got an opportunity in front of him and if he earns the spot, well, I for one would love to see him behind the plate. Glad you like the candies. There is an Acme Candy Heart image generator online if you want to make some.
Ron – Thanks! I'm glad people liked them.
Mike – Yeah, I don't like arbitration much either. The long term repercussions make me nervous no matter who "wins". Thanks for the poem…I think, LOL. You sound as enthusiastic as V-Day at my house. Neither my husband nor I are into it at all, silly Hallmark holiday. We ordered cheesesteak in and watched Top Shot.🙂
Emma – Thank you, nice lady! Happy Valentine's Day to you too. I'm glad you're having a good time with the caravan. I'm sure it was fantastic seeing the boys this early and I can't wait to read your post about it.
Yes, spring training is here! I put on SportsCenter this morning and was ecstatic to see actual PLAYERS on the screen, not highlight reels from last season. I think you should get a Twitter account. I have one, but I never tweet from it. I just like seeing what Ozzie Guillen and Mark Teahen have to say🙂
Catherine – Actual player interviews! Isn't it wonderful! Yeah, I will probably not tweet very often if I do get one either. At the moment I am more interested in reading tweets.
This is a very Simple Game…

The Tres Hombres is a tough carry-on legal, convertible-hybrid, backpack-duffel style bag that is the next great evolution in our line of Expedition Series bags. With airlines tightening up restrictions on carry-on baggage, the Tres Hombres twin external compression straps can help you "squeeze under" the new regulations.
No problem. This carry-on bag borrowed a feature from our checked travel expedition bags: twin exterior cinch-down compression straps. Watch the packing video at left in the Video tab with Professional Travel Guide Kasey Austin from Austin Adventures as she demonstrates cleverly packing some very bulky and fragile items.
The Tres Hombres has a unique three compartment system. It's carry-on legal (linear length) bag featuring three long compartments. There's the main compartment in the middle with more than enough room for your clothes. This compartment features a "break-over" across the top zipper configuration that also allows you to unzip the bag down the sides givng you wide open access to the compartment. The twin raised side compartments give you the option of storing your dress shoes, running shoes or heels--you can even fit your SCUBA flippers in the 20 inch long compartments. Tucked into the raised side compartments you have twin flat side panel zippered pockets for smaller items.
Twin exterior built-in compression straps help pack down your gear down tight (especially great if you plan on bringing home more than what you went out with). It also has handy grab loops for pulling out of overhead bins or getting on or off vehicle roof racks, a padded bottom covered featuring our tough 1050 weight Ballistic CORDURA® nylon for extra protection and service life, and of course, the store-able retractable backpack straps for comfortable hands-free shoulder carry.
Wondering what to do with those "flopping" straps when your bag is open? Simply click them together through the loop carry handles on the ends and they'll be out of your way.
Carry it over your shoulder or cross body using The Claw shoulder strap, or hands-free on your back with the backpack straps, this is one versatile hybrid bag. Here are some variations the Tres Hombres offers in carry travel:
Our customers like to define our gear as "built like a tank". While obviously you're not going to be toting around carry-on bags that weigh 50 tons and have three inches of armor plate, still the comparison is valid. For a legal carry-on bag, the Tres Hombres is built tough. Starting with one of the most durable textile materials available, 1000 weight CORDURA® Brand Nylon, we use super strong UV resistant thread that's stitched into every seam. Rugged, reliable and tough.
Places where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together are then bound; that is, we take a long piece of one inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together, this creates a strong seam, or binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the bag, or gives it a clean finished look if on the outside of the bag. In addition, each exposed fabric edge, such as on a pocket flap, is also bound using a thicker binding material. Inside edges typically receive a thinner nylon webbing, whereas outside corner edges that are exposed to wear will have a thicker nylon binding. All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in competitors carry-on bags that brag of "binding" their edges.
Each stress point, such as where the handles attach to the bag, is double box stitched - which is where we get the "double XX" in our name, Red Oxx; a stitching practice we adapted from our time as parachute riggers.
The reason Red Oxx uses the largest practival zipper we can find, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, is that they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather from minus 30 to 130 degrees above zero, and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
Red Oxx has occasionally been accused of "overdoing" our hardware. But once you've had a cheap piece of imported plastic hardware break in the middle of a busy intersection, airport or other inconvenient locale dumping your precious belongings all over the ground for everyone to see (or steal), having a heavy-duty nickel-plated or stainless steel D ring or attachment swivel that weighs just a little more, or might make a little noise, is a travel companion's confidence builder and peace of mind maker. After all, you want to enjoy your journey as best you can. Why worry about having your bag break you down? The Tres Hombres demonstrates reliable mobility equals power.

Growing your own sprouting seeds from home is a healthful, convenient way to add fresh herbs and sprouts to your diet. Germinating seeds can be used in dishes like salads, pastas, and dinner entrées; these are essential to a natural raw-food diet and for good health in general. Many Asian-cuisine restaurants routinely use seeds grown from a seed sprouter. The best part about seed sprouting is its ability to provide a non-depleting source of vitamins and minerals which you and your family can enjoy for years to come.

RB Keeper Overviews
Note: Ages are accurate as of midseason 2010.
What's interesting about this position is how watered down it is. Because so many backfield are utilizing two (even three) players in a rotation, the number of clear studs is low. And while there are more players these days than usual who do have some value now due to a fairly large role, they're still in situations that prevent major fantasy production. We've also seen fewer legitimate developmental prospects at the position and a lot of players who are kind of in limbo, with little long-term potential and even questionable short-term potential.
I'll start off this section with the (surprisingly few) players who are clearly slam-dunks for those in keeper leagues: Adrian Peterson (Min, 25), Steven Jackson (Stl, 27), Chris Johnson (Ten, 24), Maurice Jones-Drew (Jac, 25), and Ray Rice (Bal, 23).
These five players are clearly the cream of the crop, and with youth on their side. Rice may not be a legit top-5 overall RB over the next few years, as the […]

The world of athletics can be likened to a grand cycle—one where, as old players retire, new generations emerge to occupy the open void. Whether still in college or emerging as standout professionals, upstart athletes are the players that get sports' fan base energized; eager to watch the latest young sensation.
And, as a part of the RSVLTS Yearbook13 event; we have gathered a list of all the latest—as Dick Vitale phrases it—"Diaper Dandies" that look ready to electrify the sports world in 2014.
10. Kiko Alonso
The 46th overall pick in an NFL Draft that was largely considered to be underwhelming—especially when compared to recent years—Kiko Alonso entered the NFL with mixed expectations.
Labelled as a "reach" by ESPN Draft Analyst Mel Kiper Jr, the foresight-lacking pundit has since undergone a drastic paradigm shift—one that came about as a result of Alonso' stellar play. Currently, he is seen as a potential Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate and a definite draft steal for the Buffalo Bills.
9. Tomas Hertl
Originating from the Czech Republic and drafted by the San Jose Sharks in the first round of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, Hertl entered the league in a grandiose fashion—scoring 4 goals in one of his first NHL games.
At the age of nineteen going into the 2013-14 NHL Season, look for Hertl to take the mantle as one of the next sensations of hockey.
8. Mike Glennon
Recently, an article was published on RSVLTS writing off Buccaneers Head Coach Greg Schiano as a shoe-in to receive a pink slip after the conclusion of the 2013 NFL Season. But, given the performance of Mike Glennon—and Tampa Bay's shocking late season win streak—the aforementioned words are looking increasingly more edible with the passing of each week.
In 8 games played this season Glennon has a 62.5% completion, 1,782 yards, and 13 TD's—all of which are against a mere four interceptions.
The probable starter going into the 2014 NFL Offseason, look for Glennon to make the NFC South a very interesting division, with the Panthers and the Saints both having memorable seasons. And, if the Falcons can right the ship, then the NFC South may feature four playoff-worthy teams in 2014.
7. Pac 12 Quarterbacks
There has been much talk made of quarterbacks like Teddy Bridgewater, Johnny Manziel, and Tajh Boyd. However, the Pac 12 is home to three outstanding quarterbacks who look poised to be selected in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. Brett Hundley from UCLA, Marcus Mariota from Univeristy of Oregon, and Kevin Hogan from Stanford, are all underreported athletes who have the potential to change the fortunes of three teams who desperately seek a franchise quarterback.
6. Xander Bogaerts
Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe recently wrote that Xander Bogaerts—the young infielder for the Red Sox—is a "big part" of the 2013 World Series champion's plan. And rightly so, Bogaerts pervades every major baseball analyst's report as one of the top 5 hardball prospects. In addition, Bogaerts was pivotal in the World Series—scoring the go ahead run in Game 5.
5. Marcus Smart
There is a certain trio of freshman in college basketball that will appear later on this RSVLTS list. However, Marcus Smart—the sophomore at Oklahoma State University—has been turning heads throughout the basketball world. Fellow basketballer from the state of Oklahoma, Kevin Durant said about Smart, "Marcus can play in the league right now, definitely."
4. Oscar Taveras
Recently added to the St. Louis Cardinals' 40-man roster, Oscar Taveras has been reputed as one of the most up and coming baseball prospects. Such hype is justified when addressing Taveras' last season in the Minor Leagues—one that saw him hitting for a batting average of .306 and achieving an OPS of .803.
3. Julius Randle
The next three players are classified in the "no particular order" category. This is due to the fact that they all have equal potential to be the number one overall pick in the next NBA Draft.
However, in Highlander fashion, there can only be one number one. Hence, the first freshman phenom on this RSVLTS list is Julius Randle. Jay Bilas tweeted on November 13th that Randle was the most physically dominant of the freshman trio. And, at 6'9, it is reasonable to see why Bilas made such analysis.
2. Andrew Wiggins
A University of Kansas Jayhawk, Andrew Wiggins—a small forward—is another player who NBA Draft Analysts say could easily be the number one overall pick in the next selection. With a three point percentage at .400 and an average of 6 rebounds a game, look for Wiggins to make an impression on an NBA team in 2014. Alternatively, he could further the fortunes of one of NCAA basketball's most storied teams.
1. Jabari Parker
Coming from one of basketball's most hallowed high schools, Parker has already made a name for himself at Duke University. Parker's numbers are—to put it bluntly—otherworldly, with a three-point percentage above .500 and a field goal percentage of .580.
If Parker isn't the number one pick in the NBA Draft—pending his decision to go pro—then he will certainly be the number two selection.

Labor: $26 - $34
Estimate does not include taxes and fees.
Best Practices
To get the maximum life from your tires, rotate them every 5000 to 7500 miles so they wear evenly. This may not be possible on some vehicles because of directional tread design or rim size differences.
Last step before receiving your estimate:
* Estimate for all Subaru Impreza model years. Get a more accurate price by entering in your year.
More on Tire Rotation
Why Should It Be Serviced?
- A vehicle's tires do not wear at the same rate, so rotating the tires will help prolong their life
- When the tires are rotated, they are checked for proper inflation and for any damage that might affect the safety of your vehicle. Damage or deterioration on the inside tread wall might never be seen unless the tire is rotated.
- When the tires are rotated, the brakes and suspension are exposed and can be observed for wear and safety. This is one way to nip a brake problem in its beginning stages before it becomes a safety risk.
- Early signs of alignment wear can be detected during the rotation and addressed in order to prolong the life of the tires.
When Should It Be Serviced?
- Look at your owners manual to see when the manufacturer recommends tire rotation. They usually recommend a rotation anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000 miles.
- Due to tire size and directional tires, the tires on some vehicles should not be rotated.
How It's Done
Wheel and tire assemblies are removed from the vehicle and reinstalled in new locations based on patterns specific to vehicle type, see bellow:

Here is some background about the September 11th Victims Compensation Fund and the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010.
From 2001-2003 the September 11th Victims Compensation Fund processed claims relating to injuries and deaths caused by the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
The fund received 7,408 applications from 75 countries. Awards were made in 5,560 of those cases and totaled $7 billion.
The fund received 2,963 death claims. This accounted for more than 98 percent of eligible families.
Funds were distributed in 2,880 of these cases. The average award was $2,082,128 and went as high as $7.1 million.
The fund received 4,445 personal injury claims.
Funds were distributed in 2,680 of these cases. The awards ranged from $500.00 to $8.6 million.
The money was tax-free.
In 2011, the fund was reopened to compensate first responders and individuals who later experienced health problems related to 9/11.
Nov. 26, 2001 - Kenneth R. Feinberg is appointed the special master in charge of the federal Victim Compensation Fund.
June 15, 2004 - The September 11th Victims Compensation Fund finishes its work processing death and injury claims from families and relatives of 9/11 victims. Families of those killed had until Dec. 22, 2003 to apply for compensation. Families who agree to get compensation from the federal fund agree not to sue the airlines.
Nov. 8, 2004 - A report by the Rand Institute for Civil Justice finds that victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks received an average of $3.1 million per person, totaling $8.7 billion. About $38 billion in all is paid out by the government, charities and insurance companies. Insurance companies pay the most, covering 51 percent. The majority of the money goes to New York City businesses.
Jan. 2, 2011 - President Barack Obama signs the First Responders Bill, also known as the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, reactivating the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund that ran from 2001-2003. The act expands health coverage and compensation to first responders and individuals who have developed 9/11-related health problems.
May 18, 2011 - Attorney General Eric Holder names Sheila L. Birnbaum as special master of September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. She administers the fund created by the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act.
Sept. 30, 2011 - The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund reopens to serve those eligible for claims under the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act.
Oct. 31, 2011 - The reopened 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund begins taking applications.
Aug. 15, 2012 - Sheila Birnbaum announces that award distribution is on hold until the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health makes a decision about adding cancer to the list of illnesses covered by the Zadroga Act.
Sept. 12, 2012 - The final rule adding 58 types of cancer to "the List of WTC-Related Health Conditions" is published in the Federal Register.
June 21, 2013 - Since its reopening, the VCF has received 17,453 registrations, but only 1,341 completed claims. Of those, 669 have been awarded eligibility, and $5.98 million has been doled out in compensation.

Mitchell's 'Bone Clocks' revisits 'Cloud Atlas' story lines
Count on David Mitchell — whose novels regularly suggest a Borgesian library — to invoke one of the most famous literary labyrinths of all in "The Bone Clocks," his extraordinary new novel:
"Half way along our journey to life's end I found myself astray in a dark wood," admits one of Mitchell's protagonists — invoking the opening of Dante's "The Divine Comedy" to describe his midlife crisis, which prominently features the decline of his once-promising career as a novelist. »Read Full Article
Marcus travels back roads of rock history in 'Ten Songs'

It certainly is not an "official, standard" history, Greil Marcus writes, because the 10 songs he has chosen "made no apparent history other than their own." They nevertheless "might count for more than any master narrative that excludes them." »Read Full Article

A Tampa Bay area man has been charged with beating four pit bull puppies to death with a shovel.
The Pasco County Sheriff's Office reported that David Lee Thompson, 21, went to a New Port Richey mobile home Friday to help his friend move. The friend and his father began discussing what to do with the puppies since the son couldn't afford to keep them. An arrest reports said the father suggested taking the puppies into the woods and killing them.

The son told deputies he "didn't have the guts," so Thompson reportedly killed the puppies. The three men buried the animals and scattered dead leaves on the site.
The friend's stepmother learned about the puppies and contacted animal services.
Thompson was arrested Saturday on a charge of animal cruelty. He was being held on $5,000 bail.
The other men weren't arrested.

Vt. town meetings to debate guns, oil pipelineBy Kevin OConnor
STAFF WRITER | January 27,2013
Vermonters wanting to join the national debate on gun control and climate change need go no farther than their March town meeting, where several dozen communities are set to discuss nonbinding resolutions on two of the countrys hottest-button issues.
A still-being-determined number of municipalities will consider whether to ask federal and state legislators to, as specifically worded, 1. Ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines 2. Require a criminal background check for every gun sold in America 3. Make gun trafficking a federal crime, with real penalties for straw purchasers (those who arm criminals).
Our efforts cannot bring back the 20 innocent children murdered in Newtown, Conn., or the 33 people murdered with guns every day in America, organizers of Communities Against Assault Weapons say on their petitions and Facebook site. But we can prevent future tragedies by passing common sense legislation.
Spurred by the Dec. 14 school shooting, the grass-roots group began meeting weekly in Vermonts Upper Valley to brainstorm solutions to the nationwide problem of gun violence. It hopes its nonbinding resolution confirmed for a vote in Hartland, Norwich, Strafford, Thetford and Woodstock and under consideration in several other communities statewide will be a first step.
We clearly support hunters and want them to be able to enjoy their sport, but we need a way to say we also have some big problems, says organizer Laurie Levin, a Norwich lawyer who specializes in mediation. Every single person who buys a car in Vermont has to register it. Why shouldnt that be the case with guns? One of the roles we can play is to raise awareness this is whats going on, is this what you want?
The other nonbinding resolution to be debated by multiple municipalities will ask voters to Keep Vermont Tar Sands Free by blocking the use of a 1950 pipeline to transport Canadian oil through the state.
Ripton environmental activist Bill McKibben has made headlines for his opposition to a proposed $7 billion, 1,700-mile oil pipeline from Canadas tar sands to Texas refineries on the Gulf of Mexico. But Vermont organizers at the 350.org climate-change campaign also are concerned about plans to move oil through the states Northeast Kingdom for export in Portland, Maine.
The pipeline path runs through the towns of Barton, Burke, Guildhall, Irasburg, Jay, Newport, Sutton, Troy, and Victory and intersects 15 natural waterways that lead to other parts of the state.
As a result, nearly two dozen municipalities will consider voicing opposition to the transport of tar sands oil through Vermont, and deep concern about the risks of such transport for public health and safety, property values and our natural resources.
Several communities also will ask voters to consider:
n That the town shall require every fuel vendor, as a precondition for doing business with the town, to provide complete and current lists of the refinery sources of origin for all fuel the vendor sells, and thereby direct the towns purchases as much as possible toward vendors whose refinery sources do not use any material derived from tar sands.
n That the town encourage the state of Vermont and other northeast states to support policies phasing out fuel purchases as quickly as possible from vendors whose refinery sources of origin use any form of tar sands, and support policies such as a clean fuels standard to help keep such fuels out of the regions fuel supply.
n That the town call upon the Vermont state Legislature and the U.S. Congress to ensure thorough environmental impact reviews of any tar sands-related pipeline proposals, including the health and safety impacts of potential tar sands oil spills, along with clear guidelines for tracking the origins and chemical composition of pipeline contents and feedstocks.
Pipeline opponents decided to draft their ballot question after seeing other Vermont activists gain voices and votes through similar means perhaps most successfully, the GE-Free Vermont Campaign that convinced 70 communities to support a nonbinding resolution about genetically engineered food and seeds that, in turn, led the state Legislature to enact the Farmers Right to Know GMO Seed Labeling Act in 2004.
The Keep Vermont Tar Sands Free item is set to be considered in Burlington, Cabot, Calais, Charlotte, Cornwall, Craftsbury, Fayston, Grand Isle, Greensboro, Hinesburg, Marshfield, Middlebury, Middlesex, Montpelier, Moretown, Plainfield, Putney, Ripton, Waitsfield, Walden, Warren, Westford and Woodbury.
In most cases, petitioners had to collect the signatures of 5 percent of a local electorate to place the resolution on the town meeting ballot. (In Montpelier, for example, that translates into 350 names.)
Five percent doesnt seem like much, but when you start going out there with your petitions, it does represent quite a task, 350.org organizer Andrew Simon says. Its a long way to do it, but its an effective way to get neighbors talking to neighbors. We feel the biggest obstacle to the oil companys plan is the voice of the people, and one way to express that effectively in Vermont is town meeting and its tradition of direct democracy.
Voters in Vermonts 251 cities and towns will cast ballots on municipal budgets and offices on or before Town Meeting Day on March 5, with nominating petitions for candidates due Monday.
