Taos Carousel Graphite Leather Women's Sandal
Features include:
Fabulous shoe for comfort and style. This is my second pair of Taos wedge shoes, and they are my go to shoes whether in jeans or a dress. Love them!
It's the perfect sandal. Very comfortable with a great foot support. The wide band over the toes does a great job covering my long toes. The only reason I gave four stars is because the heel is just a little too narrow and I don't have a wade heel.it feels just a little uncomfortable.
I have been wearing clunky, ugly sandals for years. My feet just do not like higher heels....until I put on a pair of these! They are beautiful, they look great on me, AND most of all...I can wear them and walk in them without my feet hurting. I just ordered another pair, they are that good. I LOVE THEM!!!!!!
I saw these in the store and loved them so much that I bought them despite being too big. The are very flattering, covering all the bad points and showing all the good of my feet. Unfortunately I had to return them because my feet were sliding around too much. I would have gotten a size smaller but they don't go lower than size 6.
These are great shoes in comfort and style. The wedge is not too high so you don't get the pressure on the ball of your feet. The strap comes low enough on the toes to cover some of my too long toes. :) If you have them, you know what I mean. I plan on getting a pair in black, also. I teach school and I'm on my feet all day. I also do real estate and need to look sharp when working with my clients. These shoes cover me in both of my careers nicely.

CLEARANCE - The New Old Indian
A Repertoire for Black against 1 d4Product Code: B0332EM
The Old Indian Defence is considered to be a sound way for Black to meet 1 d4. Some might argue that it is steady rather than spectacular, but is this reputation totally deserved? Grandmaster Alexander Cherniaev strongly disagrees, and in this book he introduces ambitious and aggressive ways for Black to play in the main lines. He constructs an improved version of a repertoire he has himself utilized with great success against grandmaster opposition. Using illustrative games, he studies the fundamental tactical and positional ideas for both sides, and also covers what to do if White avoids the Old Indian. This book tells you everything you need to know about playing the New Old Indian.
- A Grandmaster's repertoire against 1 d4
- Full of new ideas and critical analysis
- Illustrative games highlight key ideas

Sir, I must plead for you to hear me out. Anti grill agents Villa Roma, Jackie Tran, an even more anonymous person going by the code name "Mmmph" and similar malcontents are polluting your judgment with these pictures...which are fabrications and outright propaganda. Please kind sir, refrain from succumbing to said propaganda, stop looking out of the window at me and step away from the hacksaw. I look forward to being filled with charcoal and grilling a fish for you this summer. That is all and thank you for your consideration and ongoing generosity.Sincerely,Your pal Weber.
@Jet_deck - I posted a pic of JMolinari's lid. Mine is almost identical. Chau's is similar, but pooched in a little (for clearance?) Mine has the pizza tray like Jmolinari's. I agree that more heat on the surface is needed. My corniciones are a little blonde inside the circumference.I'm thinkink a slightly smaller pizza tray cut into a D shape and the flat edge folded to create a downdraft.

Nelson, Willie
Willie Nelson 1933–
American songwriter, musician, and actor.
By combining country, blues, gospel, honky-tonk, Western, and Texas swing music, Nelson bridged the gap between country music and rock and roll. It was several years, however, before his synthesis of musical forms gained a place in the popular music industry. For fifteen years Nelson wrote hits for various Nashville singers. But he was in Nashville at a time when the emphasis was on the singer, not the songwriter, and the Nashville sound was smooth and sweet. Because of his rough, dry baritone, Nelson was discouraged from recording in Nashville. He finally left Nashville and moved to Austin, Texas, where his progressive country sound appealed to both rednecks and hard rockers. In Austin, Nelson became the unofficial leader of the "outlaw" movement. The outlaws are considered renegade country artists for refusing to conform to the prevailing country and western standards in their music. Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and others later recorded an album called The Outlaws.
Nelson writes his songs in the traditional country and western storytelling format. He has broadened the concept to produce entire albums that relate stories of loss, pain, and redemption. Religion has had a profound effect on Nelson's music and writing style. In his songs, Nelson attempts to deal with human emotions in terms of an implied spiritual unrest. Yesterday's Wine examines the feelings encountered within man's relationship to God. On Phases and Stages the story of a divorce is told first by the woman and then by the man; in these songs, Nelson captures the despair, loneliness, and pain of the two people. Red Headed Stranger, which won a Grammy award in 1975, tells of lost love, adultery, murder, and finally forgiveness. Bob Allen likened it to "a Greek morality play acted out against the metaphors of the old West and the music of Texas.
Nelson does not always use his albums as a vehicle to showcase his own songwriting. Many of his albums, including Stardust and To Lefty from Willie, pay tribute to other songwriters such as Richard Rodgers, Duke Ellington, Lefty Frizzell, and George Gershwin. This practice has led some critics to conclude that Nelson suffers from a severe writer's block. Nelson admits there are times when he feels he has written his last song, but he continues to have new ideas and to write new songs. Nelson was named to the Hall of Fame by the Nashville Songwriters Association in 1973.
Chet Flippo
[Willie Nelson is probably the most underrated songwriter] in America today….
[Nelson] writes about feelings as such, exclusive of the people who possess them…. [His] songs are pensive and sober, understated morning-after reflections when despair comes creeping in. [The Willie Way] opens with "You Left a Long, Long, Time Ago": "Today might be the day you walk away, / But you left me a long, long time ago."
That's followed by "Wonderful Future," equally despairing. "My past and my present are one and the same," his crisp autumn voice intones, "and the future holds nothing for me." Depression is a staple of country blues and no one can beat Willie at that.
Chet Flippo, "Records: 'The Willie Way'," in Rolling Stone (by Straight Arrow Publishers, Inc. © 1972; all rights reserved; reprinted by permission), Issue 122, November 23, 1972, pp. 68, 70.
Steve Ditlea
With this flawless album [Shotgun Willie], Willie Nelson finally demonstrates why he has for so long been regarded as a C&W singer-songwriter's singer-songwriter….
There is more to Willie Nelson than the "weepers" for which he is justly known, though nearly half of the songs on this record feature his gift for turning everyday imagery into eloquent expressions of grief and sorrow. "My oatmeal tastes just like confetti," he begins in "So Much to Do" and I immediately feel the disorientation caused by parting. From the satiric undertone of "Sad Songs and Waltzes (Aren't Sellin' This Year)" to the resignation of "She's Not for You," by way of the rhythmic "Local Memory" and the languorous "Slow Down Old World," Nelson uses a varied palette to portray the faces of love gone bad.
Nelson also proves to be a witty caricaturist. "Shotgun Willie" … touches on the agony of impending deadlines, as well as the comic misadventures of an acquaintance who belonged to the KKK.
Steve Ditlea, "Records: 'Shotgun Willie'," in Rolling Stone (by Straight Arrow Publishers, Inc. © 1973; all rights reserved; reprinted by permission), Issue 142, August 30, 1973, p. 80.
John Swenson
Ever since he made his first impression in Nashville, Nelson has been a staple in country music, playing around the country in different bands and writing a string of classic songs; many people refer to him reverently as the "Cole Porter of country music." (pp. 24-5)
What Willie Nelson would like to pick up most of all from rock 'n roll is some of the audience, always appreciative of a country musician who can play songs with conviction that reflect the ideals of the musical lifestyle. Nelson's guru-like demeanor crowned with a cowboy hat is a good start in itself, but the honesty in the feeling of his singing and playing make him a country songwriter with instant appeal to a sensitive, curious audience….
Despite his success in the straight country market, many of Nelson's songs have a little too much thought in them for the largely reactionary audience—one of his best tunes deals with the problem of hostility met on the road ["Me and Paul"]. (p. 25)
John Swenson, "A Slice of Night Life from Willie Nelson," in Crawdaddy (copyright © 1973 by Crawdaddy Publishing Co., Inc.; all rights reserved; reprinted by permission), September, 1973, pp. 24-5.
Chet Flippo
Willie Nelson has written some of the most chilling, bluntly honest portrayals of the anguish of separation and the shock of finding oneself suddenly alone. With [Phases and Stages] Nelson attempts one of the most ambitious country projects ever: a concept album on the subject of breaking up. Ordinarily, concept albums strike me as pretentious bores (someone will call this one "the Sgt. Pepper of C&W," "the shitkicker's Tommy"), but I find Phases and Stages extraordinarily convincing….
["I Still Can't Believe You're Gone"] is without doubt the saddest, most compelling C&W song I've ever heard….
On Phases and Stages, Nelson describes a separation, first from the woman's point of view (side one), then from the man's (side two). Both are true to the milieu in which Nelson works. The woman runs away, finds another, but still wonders; the man loses himself in self-pity and then assumes the facade of honky-tonk bravado. Nelson can make a banal line like "ironing and crying, crying and ironing" say much more than it does on the surface. He seems to understand an unloved woman better than any dozen articles from Ms.: "If guilt is the question / Then truth is the answer / I've been lyin' to me all along." His deceptively simple lyrics fit whole chapters into single lines….
The fact that Nelson can fashion a believable scenario with such sparseness is a tribute to his ability to turn experience into good music.
Chet Flippo, "Honky Tonk Bravado," in Rolling Stone (by Straight Arrow Publishers, Inc. © 1974; all rights reserved; reprinted by permission), Issue 156, March 14, 1974, p. 61.
Paul Nelson
Red Headed Stranger is extraordinarily ambitious, cool, tightly controlled. A phonographic Western movie which brilliantly evokes the mythopoetic imagery of McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Shane and the works of John Ford, the album traces the life of a Montana cowboy who finds his true love with another man, kills both of them and later another woman, then drifts through Denver dance halls into old age, forever unable to cut his early loss but managing in the final years of his life a moving, believable and not unwarranted synthesis of all he has missed. The narrative may not sound especially promising or unusual—like most fables, it is, after all, the same old story. That is its point—but in Nelson's...
(The entire section is 536 words.)
Noel Coppage
[Willie] has, in "Red Headed Stranger" …, combined old, new, borrowed, and blue elements to make himself a horse opera about love and death in the late-early Western United States. It's an adult western, set in 1901, and although it purports to make no large statement about the passing of the frontier for our still westering society, it does suggest how one wild-spirited, trigger-happy fellow accommodated himself to civilized ways. The story line, though, isn't terribly strong or important, and it's really a story, not an "opera," the whole thing related by the narrator, Willie…. Nelson has taken old, familiar songs such as Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain and Remember Me and used them as set...

Peter Guralnick
The Sound in Your Mind is simply not the cohesive masterpiece that Willie Nelson's last two albums have been. It lacks the breadth, the direct accessibility, the combination of myth and mystery of Red Headed Stranger and Phases and Stages. It marks a quiescent point in the career of a great artist who is still developing. (p. 75)
Peter Guralnick, "Half-Hearted Nelson: Sounds Out of his Mind," in Rolling Stone (by Straight Arrow Publishers, Inc. © 1976; all rights reserved; reprinted by permission), Issue 214, June 3, 1976, pp. 73, 75.
(The entire section is 83 words.)
Robert Partridge
The magnificent "Red Headed Stranger" was a triumph of the imagination, the first time a country artist has consciously sought to explore the complex relationship between alienation, violence and individual integrity. But Nelson has refused to take similar risks on his new album, "The Sound In Your Mind". This is a collection of honkytonk songs, a bunch of fave-raves presumably meant as a celebration of Texas country music. Yet it lacks total conviction and, without that, the album holds few surprises…. As an affirmation of Nelson's roots, this album is a disappointment; pleasant but ordinary. He even digs into his own past, re-recording "Funny How Time Slips Away", "Crazy" and "Night Life", three of his best songs...
(The entire section is 135 words.)
Chet Flippo
Ten years ago, [Willie Nelson] couldn't even get himself arrested in Nashville, despite the fact that he was the best songwriter to hit Music Row since Hank Williams, the king of them all. Everybody else was having hits with Willie's songs … but Willie's own records went nowhere. Good writer, no singer, said Nashville's establishment.
Now he rules country music. Oddly, the album that brought him the wide audience he now enjoys was not composed entirely by him. He wrote only five of the fifteen cuts on Red Headed Stranger, the brilliant allegorical album that forever changed Nashville's idea of what is and is not country music. (pp. 45-6)
Willie has compressed a fair...
(The entire section is 453 words.)
Frye Gaillard
Most of [Nelson's] tear-jerking jukebox ballads are distinctly autobiographical, as are the cuts from an obscure album called Yesterday's Wine….
It's an opera in a way, a sort of rough country equivalent of Jesus Christ Superstar—not so much in its content as in the originality of its approach. It's a concept album, tracing with unabashed theological overtones the ups and downs of a typical life, and revealing in the process a crucial fact about Willie Nelson—that despite his honky-tonking history and fast-paced present, he is about as deeply religious as anyone around.
The revelation is scattered throughout the album but probably is found most clearly in an...
(The entire section is 265 words.)
Chet Flippo
There's a remarkable emotional and thematic unity that runs through [Willie Nelson's] entire body of work. As one of the most talented songwriters and song stylists this country has ever known, Nelson has carved out his own special place in American music: the Church of the Honky-Tonk. But no matter how many people have called him a country singer, Willie Nelson is no such thing—he sings spiritual and scary stone-beer-joint blues. Indeed, he's the closest thing to a Ray Charles the white race has yet produced. (p. 87)
That some of his songs were too weird for the country market—songs about a man strangling his lover, for instance—was of no great import. Nashville protects its innocents and...

Bob Allen
[Willie Nelson's] early recordings contain versions of some of his most enduring compositions, including "Crazy," "Hello Walls," and "Funny How Time Slips Away," proving that he had already matured into a writer of incredible depth. (pp. 92-3)
Already, the lyrics convey the thoughtfulness and sophistication that would mark most of his material throughout his career. In his songs, he grapples with the usual dilemmas of leaving, being left, of pain, anger, jealousy, and sadness. Yet his attempts to deal with these emotions are often expressed in the wider context of an implied spiritual unrest, or a mortal sadness over the sadness over the passage of time. Some of the songs have almost mystic...

Rainy Saturday morning ramblingsPosted Saturday, January 7, 2012, at 9:00 AM
If it is a nice day, I am usually outside until I drop, which is getting shorter and shorter as I "mature". But today had light rain and what I wanted to do would be tougher with slick grass, sooo I am working inside.
The New Year came in like gang-busters. Between going five different directions at one with my "day job", I am also unusually busy with private and business eBay classes. No complaints, just sayin'....
It was such a beautiful string of days this week that I used my lunch times to do little things outside. Therefore, what was planned for today is not critical and I can relax.
One night this week without a bowl game, and I am starting to get a little worn out from watching. In fact, I have ended up watching one half, getting a flavor of how the teams were playing, then got the final results the next day.
Which reminds me, I have to check on the Cotton Bowl. Ahah, Arkansas over Kansas. That was the way it was looking at half time, so no big surprise, but the games have really been good so far.
I know you did not miss me, but I had to operate our semi-automatic patio door for our cats just now. To them it is automatic but I have to stop what I am doing NUMEROUS times during the day to operate it. Got lucky just now, two in and two out.
Anyway, I am already starting to feel like I am falling behind on my gardening. Melissa was thoughtful enough to buy some peat pots in trays when they were discounted this fall so I may start some cool crops this week.
I'm not complaining, but I still have cilantro, dill, mints and catnip growing outside and we have had 19 degree mornings. Not sure if I have a super breed of plants or something in our gardens have created micro-climates that are protecting them.
The mints and catnip I can guess are protected by the rock gardens and house but the cilantro and dill are far from the house, in the main garden. Yes, I tilled it late this fall, but their volunteers just re-sprouted anyway.
They are surrounded by large expanses of wood chips. I left a small section uncovered to see how long they would last, but they have far exceeded my expectations. Maybe the wood chips are heating up some and creating a pocket of warmth near the ground? Don't know.
I really need to get to work on the eBay presentations so, I'll continue this later. Not sure how many read this, but I use it as a way of talking to myself anyway, so....

Aah, PITA. What is a blog without her?
In preparation of the newest rain we put new plastic on the wood we have in the trailer. It was tucked in real nice and neat.
An hour or so later Deb thought it looked like it had been moved. I went out to check it out and sure enough it looked moved and had some holes chewed in it.
Of course, PITA had an angelic face and acted as if all was well, EXCEPT for the piece of plastic still sticking to her lips! A small 1" piece had stuck to the side of her mouth and all the doubt was gone.

Thirty percent chance of rain sure turned out to be a long 30% this weekend. I had to get some more wood in from the woods so finally Deb and I went out this afternoon and loaded the trailer.
We knew it would be a little muddy on the way back up, but rain came and made everything just that much more slick, so we had to use the tractor again to get truck and trailer back out. It worked, so all is well on the hill.
I just HAD to watch the Denver/Pittsburgh game tonight. Tim Tebow proved a lot of "talking heads" wrong this season and I loved it. What a great finish, although I would not have minded them staying ahead the rest of the game.
I have a lot on my plate this week, so I may not be able to blog much, just in case someone writes and I don't get back quickly.
I had a friend write to ask if I was OK since my original post above was riddled with grammatical errors of all types. Yes, I am doing fine, just wrote that with no double-check and the usual thumbs.

Skip to comments.Freep a Poll! (Do you care about the sexual orientation of your favorite athlete?)
Posted on 04/30/2013 5:23:06 PM PDT by dynachrome
Tuesday's Poll Do you care about the sexual orientation of your favorite athlete?
(Excerpt) Read more at dailynews.com ...
From the related story: "Collins jumps to the front of the line to become the "first openly gay active athlete in a major American team sport."
I do not care or want to know about anyone else's sexual orientation unless I am in bed with her.
I find it annoying if the player is a butt pirate or a womanizer. Flaunting in our faces their sexual actions and preferences just ticks me off. Stick to the athletics. If they want to be known for being queer then go into the porn filming careers.
I don't care enough to have a favorite athlete.
Thanks (I think..) to Bon of Babble for this one!
" It'll continue with an appearance Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America." As for it being along the lines of what Robinson did with the Dodgers in 1947, Collins' former Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers said it best: "If you have learned anything from Jackie Robinson, it is that teammates are always the first to accept. It will be society who has to learn tolerance."
Compares him to Jackie Robinson. hurl.
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
I actually don't care but if it must be discovered I'd rather someone other than me gets to ask David Ortiz if he's gay.
Wasn't he USC grad?
Your post nailed it, IMHO. I don't care who they climb in the sack with. I also don't want to hear about it from some nobody out to "make history" and a buck. This "in your face" crap from homosexuals like Collins has got to stop.
I am sick and tired of these people. If the liberal crowd really loved these perverts they would get them help and pray for them not laud their bravery in letting everyone know they are Butt Jockeys!!
Same here.
I don't have a favorite athlete
I really hate it when commentators compare homosexuals to the Blacks' struggle for civil rights.
I wish more Black "leaders" would get as offended by this as I do.

Gays are concerned only with the care and wellbeing of their sexual organs ~ nothing more than that. This one probably figured football gave him access
In passing, I heard on the radio that he only played 6 games this year and scored 6 points
A certain pro golfer's shinnanigans were as distastful and the shinninigans of the dung punchers.
I REALLY don't want to know!
Ah, if he is mentally deranged I care if he has access to young boys. This is in fact a hallmark of male homos and the reason they seek entry into every organization with a high population of young males. Queers should be monitored, not married.
"In passing, I heard on the radio that he only played 6 games this year and scored 6 points."
I think he now has job security.
\ As one other FReeper said, only when I am in bed with a woman(or trying to be)do I care about sexual orientation.:)
isnt that racist
Modern politics has finally put it's mark on professional sports. And like everything else politicians touch, professional sports is now soiled, degenerate, foul, dirty and corrupt. I'm sure there's always been some corruption, but with the added stench of politics...I won't waste any more of my time on it. I'm so sick to death of commies and poofters.
Lol, the guy had a fiancee for EIGHT YEARS, Carolyn Moos, that didn't know he was gay.
What the heck?
Not bad, not bad at all.....
This "marginal player" was the worst player on the roster for a team that won 29, lost 53 games in their fifth consecutive losing season last year. He averages one shot and one rebound per game in his six playing minutes, and he makes a shot in about one out of six games. It doesn't get worse than this guy in the NBA. His claim to fifteen fleeting minutes of fame is coming out as gay; otherwise even his teammates might not know who he is.
Meanwhile the gay journalistas and editors who are pushing this turd remain closeted while they seek their activist agenda propaganda in the mainstream (pink) media.
I DO care to know why these stories are so important to the people paid to read the news in front of a camera.
He can retired to the speaking circuit (and even get school districts to pay his way ask he speaks out for "tolerance"). Not to mention the honorary role as Grand Marshall Kleegle Dragon of the Gay Pride parades.
THIS JUST IN: Joe Montana is turning in his grave.
I'm sick of people who think the world needs to know what type of sex they prefer. We don't see straight people running around announcing their sexual preference. It must be a mental disorder that gays suffer from.
I'm in your camp. I am very apathetic toward sports. I frankly I just don't care what the athletes do, what they play or how they play. It is a completely foreign world to me, much like Hollywood. I get a lot of heat at work over that from time to time. I just don't care.
And I don't even know his name and would not know him if he walked up and slapped me.
The reason I don't like him?
Because he insists on telling me where he likes to put his peepee.
I don't CARE!
I don't want to hear about how he wipes his bum either.
I don't want to know that he likes picking his nose.
I don't want to know what he jacks off to or even if he does.
But I have no choice because there were no less then four different stories today on Yahoo alone.
Please, for the love of humanity, can we stop letting it all hang out?
I don't want to know HOW someone has sex, and when you announce you're a homo, we all know how that person is doing it, and frankly, that is TMI. Keep your dirty business to yourself.
Over the last several years I have found myself caring less and less about professional sports. The professional sports industry keeps coming up with reasons for me not to watch. And then, when I look at the darkness this country and this world are headed toward as the moral slide continues, professional sports just seems like one more meaningless distraction keeping the masses pacified as their freedoms and money are stolen out from under their noses.
Tuesday's Poll:
Do you care about the sexual orientation of your favorite athlete?
Total Votes = 465
Yes = 124 Votes, or 26.66 %
No = 341 Votes, or 73.33 %
Bread and circuses.
I just about quit watching pro sports after David Robinson retired from the Spurs. Same goes for college pro sports, except to watch Johnny Football Manziel at TAMU.
Since I stopped watching ALL professional sports around 1980, I suppose my answer must yes and no.

Vegas Pool Clubs Kick Off Early in 2012
The combination of a warmer winter coupled with ambitious owners and promoters looking to cash-in on the thriving business model led some clubs like the massive WET Republic at the MGM(MGM) Grand to open as early as March with a season kickoff that had no shortage of bikinis and celebrities like Kendra Wilkinson, Ryan Scheckler and star DJ Bob Sinclair.
Star power will be an even more important ingredient for the city's top pool clubs this year, hoping to differentiate themselves from the onslaught of recent openings recently as well as attracting guests that now pay upwards of $30 for mere entry and sometimes $5,000 for a coveted cabana or poolside bungalow.
At the Cosmopolitan, one of the world's hottest house artists known as Swedish DJ Avicii, of whom even Madonna is a fan, will kick off the season at the strip-facing Marquee Day Club on April 21. While some may complain about the $60 ticket price, double the $30 for ladies and tough 'guy to girl' ratio maintained at the door, lines can be better avoided with upgraded VIP admission or cabana rental.
At the Palms you'll find weekly theme events like Ditch Fridays and Palm Pool Saturdays revamped for 2012 with more star wattage starting April 20. Offering more of a resort-feel given the Palms' removed location from the vertically congested strip, Ditch Fridays will headline hip-hop artist Kelis for its kickoff celebration. The Palms parties have a smaller price differentiation between the sexes, with guys paying from $28-$34 for tickets and ladies paying $23 a pop. There will be a rotating lineup of deejays throughout the season that includes names like Roger Sanchez and Jazzy Jeff as well as superstar headliners like Flo-Rida and Busta Rhymes.
The Wynn is also home to some robust pool power this year at the Encore Beach Club and the Surrender Nightclub, which is already well into its season despite the fact that its grand opening celebration isn't until April 21. A sprawling space that can even give WET Republic a run for its money, Encore Beach Club opened in late March to host rotating spring breakers during a warmer than expected early season. On April 21 the club will kick into gear with Swedish House Mafia's Steve Angelo hosting the 'Size Matters' pool party. Tickets are priced from $50 for ladies and $110 for guys. Earlier that weekend Calvin Harris will kick off the weekend on Friday inside Surrender Nightclub while DJ Tiesto will host DayStar Sundays poolside to closeout opening weekend.

The colors of Winterfest
The ceremony was delayed several days due to school weather cancellations, but Friday afternoon the Webster City High School auditorium was packed with students, teachers and parents who gathered to watch the annual Winterfest Coronation.
Katelynn Anderson and Coyce Carlson were selected as the queen and king of Winterfest. They were chosen by the student body in vote held last week. Other members of the court are Kelsey Bahrenfuss, Tiffany Constable, Monica Maharry, Bridget Moriarty, Benjamin Bahrenfuss, Alex Hinz, Cody Roosa, Quinten Westrum. On hand to crown the new king and queen were the 2012 Winterfest royalty, Miranda Wood and Caleb Crouthamel.
The coronation ceremony also featured cheers and dances by the high school cheer leading squads, who also entertained the crowd with two light show performances presented on a darkened stage.
The winter sports teams girls basketball, boys basketball and wrestling were welcomed into the auditorium with applause from the audience. Coaches Nicole Muhlenbruch and Ted Larson, talked about their teams' seasons and introduced team members. Coach Marty McKinney, who was unable to attend, sent a message to the students and the members of his boys basketball team.
Throughout the week, the students took part in various dress up days and activities at the school. The Winterfest dance was held Saturday night.

Skip to comments.Teachers who stomped American flag, Jesus are officially no longer teaching
Posted on 03/30/2013 10:06:04 AM PDT by Dallas59
You dont tug on Supermans cape. You dont spit into the wind. You dont pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger. And, as two educators have recently learned, its also generally good advice to avoid stomping on Jesus and the American flag in public schools.
The Florida Atlantic University instructor who asked students to step on the word Jesus has been placed on administrative leave on the same day that the high school teacher in South Carolina who stomped on an American flag in front of his students way back in December finally resigned.
The incident in South Carolina first flared up when Scott Compton, an honors English teacher at Chapin High School in Chapin, S.C., was placed on long-term administrative leave after he threw an American flag on the floor and stomped on it in front of his students.

1) All socialist-entitlement government owned and run schools in this nation are godless in their worldview, curriculum, assignments, and policies. They are that way by law. This is not good. And...**NO** good teacher would agree to seek a job in a place that forced this religiously NON-neutral educational philosophy on children and the taxpayer.
2) All socialist entitlement government owned and run schools are compulsory for any child whose parents can not ransom them. Children in these schools risk learning to be comfortable with government police-enforced compulsion and they risk learning to be comfortable with accepting a tax coerced socialist entitlement. This is not good, and a good teacher would NEVER accept a job that forces this on the children and the taxpayer.
3) Nearly all government owned and run K-12 schools resemble prisons. The children risk learning to be comfortable prisoners of the state. This is not good, and good teachers would never accept or seek such a teaching position.
I could list many more reasons why a good government owned and run K-12 school can not exist and why no good teachers can be found in one. but the above should be enough to a reader to get the idea.
I bet this "educator" would never dream of stomping on the Koran.
In many counties, and even entire states, this could be accomplished immediately if Christians and conservatives removed their children. But....Gee! I guess the free babysitting, cheer leading, and football is very addicting.
Good, and ya don't mess around with Jim!
Mormons belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
So, kinda by definition - we believe that Jesus, the only begotten son of God, born of the Virgin Mary, is the one true path to salvation.
Don't know where other people get the arrogance to call us "not Christian". You will likely never see another Mormon say such a thing to any other person who is of a different faith. We call this "respect".
We use the King James Bible, just like you; plus we have other sets of scriptures that supplement the KJB. If you were to look at one of our scriptures (any one, take your pick) and open it up to any page (randomly finger through one) - you would see that nearly 20-30% of each page is used to cross-reference the KJB, both Old and New Testaments, as well as our other scriptures. These sets of scriptures compliments each other and the KJB; they do not contradict it. Feel free to borrow a set from a member, and critically examine it - we welcome the investigation. In fact, that's what we call people who visit the church and seek to learn more - investigators. You see, what is important is for you to believe, having done your own research, using our own free will, using whatever tools you feel are appropriate. Read, take your time, ask questions if you wish - or do it privately. All we ask is that you perform 1 task at some point during your investigation.
Kneel down at your bed, in private, and in sincerity pray to God and ask Him to send the Holy Ghost to testify as to the truthfulness or falseness of what you have discovered. Entirely your call.
Perhaps this is why the student was willing to stand up and raise his voice against authority. He had a personal testimony - as opposed to being of a faith merely because his parents forced him to attend a particular church.
Keith Walker quote from Dave Mitchells book, Challenge to Investigate:
1. The LDS say my church (traditional Christianity) was hatched in hell (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Volume 6, page 176).
2. My Christianity is perverted and apostate (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 1979, page 132).
3. My church is the church of the devil (1 Nephi 14:10).
4. My church is wrong. (Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith History 1:18-19, as was state above).
5. My church is the anti-Christ (McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 1979, page 40).
6. My church is evil and is the Whore of Babylon (McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, page138).
7. My church is leading me to hell. (McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 1966, page 419).
8. My church will be hewn down and cast into the fire of no return (McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 1979, page 139).
9. My Heavenly Father is imaginary (Apostle Parley P. Pratt, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 3, page 39).
10. My Heavenly Father is invented (Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, page 426).
11. My Jesus is mythical (McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 1979, 269).
12. My triune God is a monster (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, page 372).
13. My creeds are an abomination (Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith History 1:18-19, stated above).
14. My justification is pernicious (Joseph Fielding Smith, The Restoration of All Things, page 192).
15. My grace is a fallacious doctrine originated by Satan (Spencer W. Kimball, Miracle of Forgiveness, page 206).
16. My pastor is corrupt (Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith History 1:18-19, stated above).
17. My pastor is presumptuous and blasphemous for performing marriages and offering communion (Spencer W. Kimball, The Miracle of Forgiveness, page 55).
18. My Bible is untrustworthy (Book of Mormon, I Nephi 13:28).
19. I am a fool for believing in the Bible alone (Book of Mormon, II Nephi 29:6).
20. I am a child of the devil (McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 1979, page 138).
21. My baptism is invalid (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, page 192)
22. I am unforgiven (Rulon S. Wells, Conference report, April 1936, page 42).
23. I am damned (Bruce R. McConkie, The Millennial Messiah, page 77).
24. I know nothing of God (John Taylor, May 6, 1870, Journal of Discourses 13:225).
25. My hope of salvation is influenced by the devil (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, page 270).
26. I have no right to preach the gospel (McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 1979, page 136).
27. I am not a true Christian (McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 1979, page 132).
Then, when I attempt to offer any sort of disagreement or rebuttal, you [LDS] accuse me of hatred, bigotry and un-Christlike behavior. If that isnt enough, to add insult to injury, you want to steal my name and have me accept you as a Christian.
Thats not happening. What do you call something that insults you, never apologizes and in an attempt to convince you that it is just like you, cozies up to you because you have something it wants? My friends, that is called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. (www. evidenceministries.org, Mormonisms Hypocritical Attack, March 2012).
You may as well just go ahead & ask the Admins to add "(Warning: Mormon fight thread)" to your thread title. It's only a matter of time.
5, 4, 3, 2... (Sigh)
Some good news for a change.
Jesus is eternal. He always was. He was not created. The Bible clearly teaches that. Your Jesus cannot save because he's not God. Therefore, you are not Christian, and that's the end of the argument.
The opening volley in the New Inquisition that will force Christians to renounce their faith. Why does the left so detest Christianity? Conscience?
Why mormons are not Christians:
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
School boards don't choose the curriculum any longer. Federal Common Core Curriculum is the current "diety."
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
--John 14:6
Perhaps you haven't heard of the Bible? Seriously, before you throw down, I suggest you do some studying.
Since most of Christianity holds with the "Trinity" concept (Christ/God/Holy Ghost are all 3 different aspects of a single entity called "God") your statement is inherently false by your own faith's doctrine. I would suggest you consult your Priest/Preacher/Pastor for clarification on this. The LDS stance is that these are 3 distinct entities, united in purpose (The Father "God", his Son "Jesus" and the "Holy Spirit").
Why might so many "oldtimers" be visiting FreeRepublic less and less? Religious arguments which, by definition, cannot be won by either side.
Depends on which stae you live in.
wintertime has certain "issues" you might want to take anything he/she says with more than a grain of salt, like maybe a pound or two.
That wasn't so difficult after all. Keep cherry picking versus. In the meantime, I'll keep studying the WHOLE BIBLE. John 8:58
Thank you, verga. I didn't know that. In California, we follow state and federal dictates.
When I saw ol' "wintertime" up there, I just laughed and moved on. ;) She's always been rabid.
"Im writing Obama on my toilet paper."
Why? Do you hate your ass?
I live in VA and we pick some of our own. I heard Glenn Beck say that Texas had rejected one but picked a worse one. Another thread said that Scientology is involved in Common core. If that is true than we need everyone involved to get it out.
BTW are you sure wintertime is a she?
I think wintertime is a she...she tells lengthy stories about her home schooling genius, and I understood that she was a stay-at-home mom. She/he rants so much about schools...beyond reason. Something school-related hoisted one huge chip on his/her shoulder. ;)
While there I checked out some others. This one;
is worth the hour & 1/4. It's not some hate-filled screed, or anti- for the sake of being anti [Mormon], but using direct logic to show how Mormons (if they follow their church's own teachings) can never be forgiven, or know that they are, if they stick with Mormon formula, as described by Mormon notables, teachers, and their own BoM.
I would hope that those here whom complain (understandably) about too much religion being batted about on this site would go and see what the guy is talking about...it would go a VERY long way towards understanding why there are RC-Evangelical disputes also, for the Mormon positions are works-based methodology on steriods for earning grace (which definition of is unmerited favor, not something earned only after we "do all that we can do").
Some here do not understand what grace and forgiveness is, thinking that somehow, someway, we must have a hand in it. We do have some job in it, to simply accept and take hold & BELIEVE in the atonement. It is not merely a starting place...but continually flowing. It is by partaking of that flow itself, that we fulfill the commandment to eat and drink of His flesh & blood.
One may approach the bread from some various aspect or direction of considerations, but it is the unmerited favor which we must consume and make part of us. It is beyond unmerited, for it is our own fault He was crucified as surely as we were there ourselves ordering it to be done, beating him bloody, or having Him stand before us faultless yet ourselves stand back and let it all happen, if we weren't there along the road spitting and mocking, or hiding ourselves like the cowards we most all are (much like the original disciples) for fear we will be nailed up like He was (even though we deserve it, and He didn't). We were all there, that day...
He is Risen. He won. He defeated death, so that we may live. It is a free gift, but not to be taken lightly.
Easter Resurrection Day.
Leftists, when in power, always "progress" to get so full of their nasty selves, they expose the rot they are inside themselves. They are usually real sneaky...until they think they have total power and no one will smash them. In the past they have always cut their own throats.
Lord knows, Republicans (the stupid party) don't have the wits to expose them so we have to wait until they expose themselves right in front of a Governer. Two leftist pigs nabbed; millions to go. : )
These two swine will progress to the public school system's teacher union, cuz dey sooooo smart.
Now, let's add the fact that for several centuries, the Bible was kept hidden and controlled by the Catholic church to the level that it was only printed in Latin (so only priests could read it, and thereby interpret it). This was perhaps the landmark accomplishment of Martin Luther - in that he translated it into German - which immediately led to an uprising called the the The Reformation.
This led to the Peasant's War which resulted in the deaths of 100,000-300,000 souls, protesting the abuses that the people had suffered due to the Catholic church abusing the people, by being the sole guardians of the Word of God.
There is a reason why the Catholic Church suppressed the Dead Sea Scrolls for nearly 30 years. You see, the Dead Sea Scrolls passed through time uncorrupted by man. If you bother to examine the Dead Sea Scrolls and compare them against modern church doctine, you will find several serious "issues". The Dead Sea Scrolls do not present any conflicts to Mormons - gee, I wonder why that is?
So hustle off and worship your created god Elohim, and work to become a god yourself. Until Rev 20 kicks in.
Hell is hot. Eternity is long. John 8:58
I'll give you that, Hodar, for the same reason that I respect Roman Catholics for leading the fight on Obamacare and waking evangelicals up decades ago to why abortion needs to be fought. People who are in major disagreements on religious issues can still work together politically when our differing religious beliefs tell us to do the same thing in the sphere of civil government.
35 posted on 3/30/2013 1:40:40 PM by Ann Archy: "AMEN....I still cannot believe that ONLY ONE STUDENT COMPLAINED!! We are raising a nation of SHEEP!"
You are absolutely right. I hope there are a lot of other students in that class wishing right now they had the courage of their convictions.

Behind every Olympic athlete competing in Sochi is a parent.
Behind most every athlete competing in Sochi is a parent who roused them before dawn, fortified them with healthy meals and cheered on hours upon hours of practices and competitions. Since these moms might as well have a Ph.D. in raising healthy, balanced kids, we asked five to share their secrets.
�Our family loves to get away to state parks where we can hike together. When the kids were younger, we�d often call ahead to where�we were staying to have the TV taken out of our room. This created amazing relationships among our kids, who learned to make up games, be creative together and love the outdoors.� �Linda Goepper Mom to freeskier Nick Goepper, 19, first-time Olympian[caption id="attachment_118276" align="alignnone" width="178"] Nick Goepper and mother Linda[/caption]
�J.R. is my youngest son and he loved to keep up with his dad and big brothers. He started inline skating with them at age 3. Having their dad there working just as hard as they did created a special bond�and spending so much time together at the rink as a family helped provide balance for J.R.� �Sue Celski Mom to short track speed skater J.R. Celski, 23, 2010 bronze medalist
�Meryl is a perfectionist, and letting her talk about skating is important, but we also try to tell her to leave it at the rink. When she comes home, we encourage her to do other things like bike riding, movies and reading. Our whole family loves to ride horses so we plan trips to do that together. And though she�s not a child anymore, if she calls me late at night, I�ll say, �Do you know what time it is?���Cheryl Davis Mom to ice dancer Meryl Davis, 26, 2010 silver medalist [caption id="attachment_118277" align="alignnone" width="248"] Meryl Davis, left, and mother Cheryl[/caption]
�All of my five children are serious players in different sports. To get my kids to go to practice, I would give them a little incentive such as going to lunch together after.�I would remind them of their strengths, help them prioritize their goals, and tell them that no matter what the outcome, they are all champions for accomplishing so much.� �Cathy Sarubbi,�Mom to alpine ski racer Caitlin Sarubbi, 25, 2010 Paralympic Games competitor
�Charlie often ate in the car between school and skating practice, so I had a cooler packed full of carrot sticks and peanut butter, bananas and yogurt. His favorite snack was tuna salad with lots of chopped veggies and hard-boiled eggs, either on whole grain bread or with a spoon right out of the container. It was a quick way to get some protein and carbs without being too heavy.��Jacqui White,�Mom to ice dancer Charlie White, 26, 2010 silver medalist (with partner Meryl Davis)[caption id="attachment_118278" align="alignnone" width="207"] Charlie White, right, and parents[/caption]
�Julie was originally enrolled in figure skating, but we noticed that she kept glancing over where her brother was practicing hockey,�and eventually she asked to try it. I never thought to say no. I wanted my girls to have the opportunity to try anything they wanted. The only rule was, you have to finish the session.��Miriam Chu, Mom to Julie Chu, 31,3-time Olympic medalist, women's ice hockey[caption id="attachment_118279" align="alignnone" width="207"] Julie, left, and mother Miriam[/caption]

The Critter's Choice Awards
Minyanville's stated mission is to enhance human potential through financial understanding.
"Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past."
Terence Mann, Field of Dreams
They say that anything worth accomplishing never comes easy. If that's true, Friday's Critter's Choice Awards was indeed a special accomplishment.
We birthed the concept for the CCA as an awards benefit that would bridge the worlds of finance, sports, music and entertainment to honor an individual for outstanding achievement in creative education.
It seemed simple enough--find a venue, identify a worthy recipient, chew through logistics and tap into networks. Bring it all together and you have the construct of a charitable platform that can change the face of philanthropy.
That was four years ago.
I understand that endeavors typically take a lot longer to pull together than originally anticipated. In the case of this particular fete, it's been a long, hard road that has taken steadfast determination, tenacity, focus and resolve. It seems that everyone and their sister has a worthy "cause" and The Ruby Peck Foundation has contributed to many of them.
But this was our event. This was our night.
At the end of September, after a midtown meeting, President Fish, our publicist Keleigh and I had some business to discuss. "Let's go to Country Restaurant," Keleigh said, "it's a new space with fantastic people and unbelievable food." When we walked upstairs to find a table, Kevin and I looked at each other and knew. It was classy, brilliant and full of great energy.
It was Ruby-esque.
Now, anyone who's thrown an event knows that two months is an extremely tight turnaround time. More importantly, our team had yet to identify the right person to honor. We didn't want to be gratuitous and pick someone who would simply sell tickets. We wanted this person to be worthy of receiving a trophy that bears my grandfather's good name.
One night in October, while sitting at dinner with my friend MJ, Trent Tucker called. I've known
After discussing this with the RP Board of Directors, a decision was made.
Fast forward to

As I walked from the conference to the main floor, that question faded quickly as I reminded myself of Ruby's famous words, "think positive." The room was, in a word, magical. The vintage Tiffany glass dome sparkled overhead, the casino tables were pristine, the silent auction was filled to the gills, the fantastic staff and our generous volunteers manned their posts and the Minyanville community was set to arrive.

To be sure, we were at the ready. Vanessa, with her typical MV Event thoroughness, had all the bases covered. The streets had been barricaded outside the entrance, food stations were full of fantastic fare, bartenders were at their post, registration was set up, speakers and sponsors enjoyed a VIP cocktail reception and me? I took the time to vibe with my gorgeous grandmother Dorothy, Ruby's wife of 59 years, who had traveled from Florida to share the experience.

I've always said that trying to explain Minyanville to someone who hasn't seen it is like trying to explain the sunset to a blind man. Ergo, it's equally difficult to express the energy in that room. There had to be close to 300 people and it seemed that each of them wore a smile from ear to ear. The crowd seemed to "get it," why were were there, what we were doing and the benefits of human capital.

Before long, it was show time. As Minyans mingled and the magic manifested, I readied for the main event of the evening. We were there to celebrate Trent--a man who, in the Minyanville tradition, is very good at what he does but better at who he is. I went to retrieve the "Ruby" and, after #33 inspected the goods, I stepped on stage.

After a brief speech that thanked our sponsors, introduced Ruby, discussed our charitable efforts to date and recognized why we were honoring Trent, I presented the award to our most deserving recipient.

After a thrilling live auction, it was time to kick off our shoes and cut some rug. Wendy Starland, an uber-talented songstress, took the stage and raised the roof. I didn't know Wendy before she performed but I'm certain Minyans will hear a lot from her in the future. She's sure to become a household name.

Minyans know that I tend to set the MV bar--and my internal expectations--higher than what most would consider attainable. The thought process is that, even if you come up somewhat short, you're still well above where you started. In the case of the first annual CCA, I think it's fair to say that we exceeded our lofty expectations. And while it was a team effort--from speakers to sponsors to staff--it would not have been possible without the tireless effort and energy of Vanessa Ohayon.
Thank you V.
On Saturday night, I joined Trent Tucker for a four hour sushifest. As we shared tales--his stories of the NBA, Michael Jordan and championship games were precious--he stopped to look me in the eye. "Todd," he said, "You know how much basketball means to me. I've been blessed with a long career and won two rings. Friday night, when you handed me that award...it was the proudest moment of my life."
Minyanville's stated mission is to enhance human potential through financial understanding. Over the last five years, what began as a simple writing platform has morphed into a community that I am both humbled and proud to be a part of. Thank you all for continuing to believe in our vision and, above all else, choosing to be a part of it. A dream is only as powerful as those who believe in it and, without you, it would not be possible.
For that, and as we remember the important stuff, I offer you all the official Ruby "Wink."

Older pets still have years of life, love to give
Mark Twain said it best: "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." Large numbers of senior pets are available now because of the current economic situation. Owners may have lost their home and are unable to take their dog or cat to an apartment setting. Others may no longer be able to afford the food or even necessary veterinary care. The sad reality is many dogs and cats are often surrendered because their heartbroken owners simply have no other choice.

I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on the Venue? Any tips or setting advice......I've had mine for about 2 mos. now..............so far I really like it.
The boost is a great thing for stepping up on prominent licks and solos.
Still trying to figue out the Notch filter......for the most part I am not having feedback issues unless I face a speaker with guitar .
The tuner is a little slow as I've heard from others but is pretty acurate.............it seems not as acurate if on a wooden floor or other music( intermission) is playing and vibrating my guitar while tuning.
My big questions is I still haven't really found that sweet spot yet........I do better with my nylon string Taylor.....seems to be sweet enough but the Taylor 810ce with Fishman
is more difficult to get a great tone.
It sure is nice to have contorl of my sound rightn there at my feet though.
Thanks again,
Fred down in Grenada

City Man Charged With DWI After Driving Into Pole
A Jamestown man was charged Monday after police say he left the scene of a motor vehicle accident and was intoxicated.
Charged with driving while intoxicated, driving while intoxicated per se, leaving the scene of a property damage accident and unsafe lane change was Harold M. Slagle. Officers were dispatched at 12:28 a.m. to the area of West Fifth and Sixth streets for a crash involving a utility pole.
Upon arrival police found the pole snapped at the base and lying on the ground. The vehicle involved sustained heavy front-end damage. Slagle allegedly left the scene.
Officers were able to locate Slagle, 49, a short distance away with the help of witnesses. An investigation found the Jamestown man was intoxicated, police said.
No injuries were reported, a police report said.
Slagle was arraigned Monday morning in Jamestown City Court and released under the supervision of probation, a court clerk said. He is scheduled to be back in court Aug. 27.
