Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Liz450 Perfect as a wristlet but... ...I should have purchased this in black instead if the light oak. It does fit my iPhone plus cards and mascara perfectly however, the lighter color already looks worn after a little over a month. In hindsight maybe a protectant is needed because the color is so light (perfect for spring/summer) but the leather wearing along the edges is dismaying. Other than that, it really is a must-have.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CeeDub FINALLY, A PERFECT FIT There are some true TB 'must-haves' (I know this is an over-used description!)...and this is one of them. I have this in black, and it is the perfect accessory. I use it when I just need my phone, ID, a lip gloss, and a few cards, but need both hands...the strap frees you up, and is also elegant and classy: I have used it in formal as well as informal events. It is well constructed, and my phone and other essentials actually fit better in this wristlet than most clutches I have. I can see this replacing all of them....a real 'find' and I highly recommend this as a TB favorite. The other colors are a bit odd, and I would like to see this in navy and a brown or luggage leather instead. April 7, 2014

The case of the missing iPhone 5s hardware accents
Apple has always prided themselves on the little things. The final touches and accents that really give the iPhone the amazing build quality and aesthetic we have come to love. Interestingly enough, Apple seems to have skimped on some of that polish in regards to the iPhone 5s.
If you own an iPhone 5s, flip it over in your hand and take a look at the back, particularly the camera and flash. The iPhone 5 has nice little accent rings around the camera hold and the flash. These are completely missing in the iPhone 5s on all models. It's one of those things that aren't necessary but adds an extra something to the overall design. It also makes me wonder if that could make the iPhone 5s more or less susceptible to dust and debris sneaking its way into the camera lens over time. Perhaps making it flush was intentional to prevent that from happening?
Further, if you take a look at the dock and headphone jack area, Apple matched the aluminum color of the iPhone 5 to the dock screws, Lightning connector, and headphone jack. This isn't the case with the Space Gray iPhone 5s. All the screws are silver this time around. The silver version of the iPhone 5s looks virtually the same as the silver version of the iPhone 5 form the bottom view but it's noticeable on the Space Gray model of the iPhone 5s. The gold version of the iPhone 5s does however have color matched accents. Why go through the trouble of only color matching one model and skimping on another?
Sure, I'm nitpicking over things that in the grand scheme of things don't really make a difference when it comes to how the iPhone 5s works or feels in your hand. Well, except maybe the camera lens difference. We'll see over time if it causes issues in relation to dust in the camera. It's something I saw pretty regularly on the iPhone 5 so hopefully this is Apple's attempt at remedying that.
I think this bothers me because it's the first time I've seen Apple not be thoroughly consistent across the board when it comes to hardware design, especially when it comes to the iPhone in particular. Apple prides themselves on design aesthetic quite possibly more than anything else, so why make little yet glaring omissions on just one model of the iPhone 5s? Let alone their top selling variant. They color matched all the accents on the slate model last year, so why not this year?
If you bought the Space Gray iPhone 5s, does it bother you that your iPhone didn't receive the same color matching treatment that the other two models received? More importantly, would it bother you if weird design decisions like this make their way into other product lines as well?

The case of the missing iPhone 5s hardware accents
I think the rings are related the the purple flares but hey everyone forgot about that and what's weird is apples cameras look really good in the fall and by the time the sun and space moves around and seasons change the technology changes or at least somthing along the lines of that because seasons chanhge the technology lenses and crystals used with act differently with the how far or close the sun is at that general time of the year but most people probly do t know much about this Nor do I as I'm just speaking out of the ideas if my brain :)
Purple lens flare issue resolved......I will guarantee that is part of the problem that this solved by NOT included the silver ring around the lens.
purple lens flare NOT resolved. I have the space grey 5s, and I still have that issue on some photos.
The removal of the ring around the Camera could be related to glare, but that is just a guess.
In the above photo, it looks like the camera lens is larger even when comparing the center of it. Anyway, it does not bother me. The 5s is a better phone than the 5. If someone is going to fret over the missing rings while getting 64 bit cpu, TouchID, and better camera, then they may need to check themself.
I JUST did a side by side comparison with a 5 and a 5S. Same shot, 5S haf no purple lens flare where the 5 did.
That is precisely why that change occurred with the 5S camera lens. Try it for yourself.
I still get lens flare on my 5s.

So weird because I did a sie by side test and TRIED to get the flare but could not on the 5S, where the 5 was awful.
Is it reduced or exactly the same?
I only have a black iPhone 5, but looking at the pictures of the bottom of the 5s, I actually like the luke if the shinier screws and accents next to the space gray aluminum. It could be cost saving decision, but that doesn't seem like apple, I don't see Jonny Ive saying it's okay to ship an uglier design to save a few cents per device. I think maybe they like the look and it also was cheaper to do. As for the camera accent pieces, who knows the reason behind that... Could be a solution to some problems the 5 had or just save some money on something that doesn't really effect form and function. I'm just guessing on all this...

Those are really minor elements but considering the premium price for the iPhone itself, I'd like it to be "complete". I love my black / slate iPhone 5 and see no reason to upgrade anytime soon. My Darth Vader iPhone 5 is awesome and plan on keeping it for a long time.
Still, the most questionable move (to me) Apple made in the past was the move to the plastic backs of the 3G and 3GS on such a premium device considering how well built the first generation model really was and looked the part for the price. Despite that move though, they still sold like mad.
This isn't about aesthetics. It's about camera performance. Time to update this post and get it right.
Please be specific. If you're talking lens flare, not true. I still get lens flare on my 5s.

My iPhone 5s is "Space Grey" and the screws and ring around the lightning port as well as the headphone jack match to the band around the phone. Everything matches. Could you have a different batch of phones?

I think it looks better without the accent rings, can't agree with the screws thing.
Build quality is what we have come to expect from Apple and these may be very small points you bring out but they are true and for sure bring out the small touches we all may not notice until now...Thanks a lot Ally...LOL
BTW getting a bunch of inquiries about Anostyle?? Are you all still around?
I'm not affiliated with them anymore.

Isn't the reason they dumped the ring around the lens because the lens is bigger now? I think they needed some space. I don't know about the flash and the silver screws. That does bother me too. We're definitely out of the Steve Jobs era. Look at the 5C case. It obscures the word "iPhone."
I hadn't noticed! Thanks for ruining my whole iPhone 5s experience! If Apple is going to charge us premium prices for junk then that is proof that Apple is going to H311 in a handcart! We should all just go out and by Android phones.
(J.K. I though I would get it in before the trolls did!)
Actually, I have the silver/white 5S and love the aesthetics. I didn't look that closely at the other models because I knew what I wanted from the start. To me, the silver/white 5S is a work of art. The fit and finish are better than anything else I've seen - even from Apple!
After owning two slate black iPhone 5's I decided to get the white iPhone 5s. It just came today and boy is this phone gorgeous. I really liked the slate black on the 5 and my iPad mini is slate black too, but I'm digging this white and silver especially with the look of iOS 7. All the white backgrounds go so well with the white whereas I felt the opposite about the 5 and iOS 6. The only real nag I have about this phone is that they didn't include the white wallpaper that they pictured the iPhone 5s on the front of the box. It makes the phone look so nice I can't believe they left it out, but who am I kidding that is a very small nag.
I was on the fence about upgrading from my iPhone 5 as it looked to be a small upgrade, but once again I was wrong. The fingerprint scanner (which I quickly wrote off as a gimmick when I heard the rumors) works so well I can't imagine using anything else. The phone is snappy as hell with the A7 and can't wait to see how devs put this beast to use, and the camera updates along with especially the slo mo are great enhancements. Also, the new home button looks so slick. I've always been a huge fan of Apple design aesthetics and most will write it off as being the same iPhone 5, but let's be honest only HTC has come even close to apple this last year and even the One has some catching up to do. Loving my 5s and so glad I got the white/silver model this time around.
Congrats and so excited for you!
Maybe the ring caused photography issues like the purple haze effect.
Being a perfectionist and an artist. Yes this does bother me, now that you pointed it out. :-/
"One Ring around the Lens
One Ring around the Flash
One Ring around the Home Key
One Ring to ring the phone
And in the contracts bind them
In the land of iMore, where the opinions fly"
(Sorry everyone, my name is David and I'm a Tolkien addict)
Actually, I always figured the 'accent rings' were Apple's way of preventing lens scratches every time you put your phone down on any table or desk. A little bit of protection goes a long ways when it comes to lens scratches.
I like it better the way it it now in the 5s.
These accents don't bother me at all. I didn't know the iPhone 5 had them since I came from a 4s. It makes more sense to me to use silver screws for the silver and grey phones. The gold had to get gold screws. It's madness to have 3 different color screws for production. If you did some grey screws might end up on the silver phone and silver on the grey.
As far as the camera rings are concerned it looks like there is something there just not a silver ring. Hard for me to tell my eyes aren't what they used to be. The retina display means nothing to me without my reading glasses.
Sent from the iMore App
I think they have done it that way for aesthetics. Gold with silver accents = Gaudy. Gray with silver accent= classy.
The camera and the flash are bigger they didn't want to make big silver rings, I guess. And to me the rings looked dated, I like the clean look with out them.
The silver accents don't wear out as hypothetical Space Gray accents would.
The omission of the accents around the camera seem logical. The whole idea of iOS7 was stripping the design of chrome and that's exactly what they did. One more thing, in iPhone 5 both accents are circles/rings. In 5S you have a ring (the camera) and a pill-shaped flash. Two different forms, two different chromes next to each other...not too Apple. The back needed to be simplified. I'm happy with the new look. :)

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's soccer team dropped a 9-0 decision to Furman in Southern Conference action Thursday night at Finley Stadium. The Mocs fall to 4-6 overall and 0-3 in league play while the Paladins improve to 8-2-1 on the year and 2-0 in conference action.
"The makeup of our team is that we have to come out and play every game," Chattanooga head coach J.D. Kyzer said. "We can't have one or two players take a game off and it shows when that happens.
"It compounds things when you play a team like Furman who is consistently one of the top three teams in the conference."
Furman's Delaney Sheehan came off the bench with a pair of goals along with starter Jamie Alexander had two goals for the Paladins as the pair combined for four of their team's nine scores. Stephanie DeVita added one goal to her league leading total on the night while Furman got scores from four more players.
DeVita got the scoring started taking the ball down the right side from midfield and dribbling past defenders to score what would be the game winner in the sixth minute. It would only take 2:21 more for Furman to go up 2-0 on the first of two goals by Alexander. She took a pass across the field from Carlie Couch and the two would team up on the third goal in the 15th minute to make it 3-0.
Chattanooga held off the Furman offense the remainder of the opening stanza to go into the half at 3-0.
Couch started the second half with a goal in the 54th minute on a long pass from teammate Claire Sullivan in stride. India Robinson added the fifth goal in the 59th minute on a free kick and Sheehan scored two of the final four goals including on in the final 34 seconds.
"We're very young, yet we haven't really been down much this season," Kyzer said. "We got way down in this game and we didn't know how to react to that."
Chattanooga's Crystal Mackezyk (Columbia, Tenn.) had two of Chattanooga's five shots while Monica Speth (Janesville, Wisc.), Skylar Brewer (Farragut, Tenn.) and Ashley Simmons (Hixson, Tenn.) each added one shot each.
UTC senior keeper Taylor Mangrum (Franklin, Tenn.) started the game in goal and recorded seven saves through 67:11 while sophomore Lauren Thomas (Germantown, Tenn.) took over for the final 22:49 and gave up four goals with one save.
Furman outshot Chattanooga 31-5 and had seven corner kicks. The Mocs made eight saves, with four in each period.
Chattanooga was without starters Hannah Wyatt (Soddy Daisy, Tenn.) and Hailey Callis (Jackson, Mo.) who both suffered injuries last weekend. Wyatt will miss the remainder of the season while Callis is expected to make a return.
Chattanooga will hit the road Sunday to take on Wofford in the first of a three game road trip. The game will kick off at 2 p .m.

Moctoberfest is a month-long celebration of Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball. It includes historical moments, social media interactions and introduction to UTC's freshmen among the myriad of video tributes and stories including the video attached to this story.
Day Three is aptly named as it honors the most prolific three-point shooter in Chattanooga history. Stephen McDowell played just two seasons (2008-09) for the Mocs, but he holds virtually every three-point shooting record.
Those records include 243 made for his career, an average of 3.7 made per game. He also holds the season record nailing 135 in the 2009 Southern Conference Championship campaign and his nine in the 2009 Dr Pepper Classic Championship win over Niagara tied Wes Moore's (1996-99) mark against Wofford in 1997.
"Steph led us to a 2009 NCAA Tournament because of his ability to make shots," head coach John Shulman said. "If anybody deserved to be a great shooter, it was Steph. I've never seen a kid work as hard shooting the basketball than him.
"He's one of those very few guys, when the ball went up, you thought it was going in every time," Shulman continued. "You were surprised when it didn't. But he earned that opportunity, earned that right, to be a great shooter because of his work ethic and desire to be that kind of shooter."
His 243 career treys is an impressive number. That's 36 ahead of Keddric Mays (2006-07) in second with 207. Only Mays (3.2) topped three made per game for his career.
Not only are his 135 three-pointers in 2009 the season record, but the 108 the year before ranks third. Mays is the only other Mocs marksman to hit more than 100 in a season draining 118 in 2007. The 2009 school record is the second-best single season total in SoCon history, while his junior total is 10th.
In just two years, McDowell certainly put his stamp on the program. The MVP of the 2009 Southern Conference Championship, Steph scored 1,075 points which is No. 14 in UTC's DI era. His 16.3 point-per-game average is No. 8.
McDowell made three or more from beyond the arc 49 times in 66 career contests. He made five or more on 20 occasions.
Chattanooga opens the season Monday, November 12, against Tennessee Temple in McKenzie Arena at 7 p.m. Season tickets for a school-record 18-game home slate are available. Call 266-MOCS (6627), go online here at GoMocs.com or stop by the Gate One McKenzie Arena Ticket Office.

Retirement Guys: Please help us thank our troopsWritten by Nolan Baker Mark Clair | | firstname.lastname@example.com
We are thankful for a lot of things. The holiday season obviously has us thinking about the things that we are most thankful for. It's a given that we are thankful for our faith, our family and the work we are able to do for our clients. That is what motivates us to get out of bed every day and keep on keeping on. For those of you who are clients, thank you for allowing us to help you with your retirement planning.
For those of you that are faithful readers of this column and listen to us every Saturday on the radio, thank you for tuning in. We are blessed to work with great people and are thankful that we get to do what we do. Both Nolan and I (Mark) have realized one other big thing that we really are truly thankful for. It's those men and women who serve our country in the armed forces.
Sure, we all work hard every day, but those individuals who serve in the military are cut from a different cloth. They are selfless and truly heroes regardless of what their specific job is. These men and women put their lives on the line and contribute to our protection whether they are serving overseas or right here in the U.S. We both decided that it was time for the Retirement Guys to show our thanks to our dedicated service men and women.
We have been adopting a troop through the wonderful organization called AdoptAPlatoon.org for nearly two years. Our entire staff and family of clients really enjoy putting our monthly shipments together to send to our troop. We know that these boxes are just small tokens of thanks to the outstanding men and women who endanger their lives for our freedom, but we feel that every little encouragement and thanks can make a difference in their lives. We hope that it helps them get through tough days a little bit easier.
Many of our clients are veterans and they have welcomed getting involved in this community give back campaign with open arms. Since it is such a special cause and our clients have been so dedicated to donating to our troop, we've decided to host a special event with two very special inspirational speakers. Every year we host an Economic Update that brings our clients up to date as to what is happening economically in our country and how it may affect their retirement planning. The event typically features several interesting speakers along with The Retirement Guys that speak on various topics related to managing your money, protecting your assets and efficiently planning your estate. It helps give those that attend an increased perspective as to what is going on and what to be aware of.
This year The Retirement Guys have decided to take this "Economic Summit" a big step further. A very special event is in the works not only to bring attendees up to date economically, but also to provide inspiration from two men that have served our country. We are honored to have Toledo native and Bronze Star recipient, Joseph Bowser, and Navy Seal, Chad Williams, join us for a special event "Protecting What Matters."
We thought that our clients and friends would really enjoy interacting with and listening to these two brave war veterans. SFC Bowser's decorations include the Bronze Star; Purple Heart; Army Commendation Medal; Army Achievement Medal (4OLC); Iraq Campaign Medal; Global War on Terrorism Medal; Good Conduct Medal; Combat Action Badge; and the Drill Sergeant Badge. Mr. Bowser being a Toledo native makes this all the more special to hear what he has to say.
Chad Williams is a Navy SEAL veteran and one of only 13 from a class of 173 to make it straight through to graduation. Chad served his country on SEAL Teams One and Seven for five years, completing tours of duty in the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Iraq. Both men will be speaking and Chad Williams will be signing copies of his book "Seal of God." We will also be talking about how those that are interested can get involved in supporting our adopted troop.
"Protecting What Matters" will take place on Jan. 31, 2014 at The Pinnacle in Maumee starting at 6:30 p.m. If you are interested in attending this special event, please call Dana Nehren at our office at (419) 842-0550 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com. Happy holidays and God bless America.

'We are doing the impossible'
"If people don't know what to do with their lives, I send them to Central Carolina Community College!" said Kimberly Neiss of Cameron, a 2010 graduate of the college and a single mother of 10.
Neiss speaks from experience. So far, five of her children have graduated from or are attending the college. She plans for the others to do so also.
Neiss was divorced in 2003 and received custody of the children, then ranging in age from a toddler to teens. In 2005, her oldest sons, Thomas and Patrick Gietzen, withdrew from high school.
Determined that they must continue their education, Neiss began searching and found Central Carolina Community College's Adult Education Center in Lillington.
Thomas received his high school diploma, and Patrick earned his GED. She encouraged them to continue their education, and both enrolled in college courses at CCCC.
Then, the store Neiss worked at closed, so she decided it was the right time to return to school. She chose CCCC for herself and said she was impressed at the education she and her sons were receiving.
"I loved my experience at CCCC," Neiss said. "I loved my instructors and everyone whom I and my kids had the privilege to learn from. They build you up as you go along and advance from class to class."
Theresa Gietzen, Neiss's daughter, smiled as she recalled her mother's enthusiasm.
"Mom is awesome!" Theresa said. "She always taught us that having a good education is the most important thing you can do for yourself to get further in life. She told all of us, 'I found your college. Everybody is going to CCCC!'"
From 2007 to the present, education at CCCC has been the family focus. The only exception has been the oldest daughter, Mary Scrivens, of Rolla, Mo., who is earning a degree from Campbell University via distance education. In the 2009-10 school year, Neiss and five of her children were all attending CCCC at the same time.
"We spent a lot of time in the Financial Aid Office," she said, recalling the careful planning, as well as the help received, to finance educations for herself and multiple children.
As the younger children have grown, they have followed in their siblings' footsteps and enrolled at the college. Those too young to go have seen the success achieved by their older siblings, and also followed their mother's example.
"Mom's the hardest worker in our family," said Julia, 14. "She's always talking about doing things the right way, doing things better."
Neiss gives credit to her children, who had to work hard and watch after each other because she was working at several jobs.
"We stuck together and had faith," Neiss said. "I always told them, 'We are doing the impossible: everyone's going to school.'"
Then, with a smile, she added, "We've come a long way. I'm so proud of them."
CCCC President Bud Marchant said he is impressed with and proud of Neiss and her children.
"Our mission as a college is to serve as a catalyst for personal, community, and economic development by empowering people through education and training," he said. "Kimberly Neiss and her children are wonderful examples of this. They have benefited from the college's programs and student-focused learning environment and, in turn, are going out into their communities to be successful, contributing citizens."
The achievements of the family at CCCC include:
• Neiss graduated in 2010 with an associate degree in arts and is now an executive administrative assistant with BHI Army Guesthouses at Fort Bragg;
• Thomas Gietzen, 25, of Sanford, received his high school diploma through Adult Education in 2007 and is now completing his associate in arts degree. He has enlisted in the Navy and, with his education, will enter as an E3 Seaman with an electronics technician specialty.
• Patrick Gietzen, 23, of Sanford, earned his GED in 2007 through Adult Education and enrolled for college at CCCC. He graduated in 2012 with an associate in applied science degree in mechanical engineering, mechanical engineering technology diploma, computer-aided manufacturing certificate and computer-aided drafting certificate. He is now a manufacturing engineer at WST Industries.
• Andrew Gietzen, 23, of Rolla, Mo., is earning his final four credits for his associate in arts degree through the college's distance education program.
• Theresa Gietzen, 22, of Sanford, earned her high school diploma through Adult Education and went on to graduate in 2011 with an A.A.S. degree in laser and photonics, with honors. She now works in research and development at Cree Corp. She is continuing her education at the college, working on her associate in science degree.
Theresa learned about the laser and photonics program when her middle school class toured the Lillington campus, a regular event hosted by the college.
"I was so impressed," she said. "I knew I wanted to be part of it. When I attended CCCC, I felt all the teachers really cared about my education and beyond. The college not only gave me a well-rounded education, it also prepared me for my career. I couldn't be where I am today without my degree."
• David Gietzen, 19, of Sanford, received his GED in 2009, earning an almost perfect score on the exams. He is on schedule to graduate in the spring with his associate in arts degree.
Neiss's four youngest: Margaret Gietzen, 17, and Ruth Gietzen, 15, students at Overhills High School; Julia Gietzen, 14, a student at Overhills Middle School; and Deborah Gietzen, 12, a student at Johnsonville Elementary, all live at home with their mother. She sees CCCC in their future.
Margaret already has her plans. Because of her family's experience with the college, she said she is going to attend CCCC and then transfer to North Dakota University and get her doctorate in physical therapy.
According to the family matriarch, "My family is a walking advertisement for CCCC."
Dr. Anthony Harrington, CCCC lead history instructor, had several members of the family in his classes.
"Kimberly Neiss was an excellent student," he said. "Obviously this idea of a hard work ethic rubbed off on the two children I had, Thomas and Patrick. Both did an excellent job in my class. Now, for anyone to get a college degree, you must put 110 percent into it. These folks did that."
Harrington added that when faculty and staff are committed, that attitude rubs off on students and they will push for success.
"When I was hired back in 1988, CCCC had made up a button to wear: 'No College Cares More,'" he said. "That still rings true after 50 years of service to Central North Carolina."

HAZARD – The grand jury is set to hear evidence against a man accused of shooting and killing three people at Hazard Community and Technical College last week.
Dalton Lee Stidham, 21, of Bulan, allegedly used a semi-automatic pistol he purchased earlier in the day to shoot and kill 20-year-old Caitlin Cornett, 53-year-old Jackie Cornett, and 12-year-old Taylor Cornett on the evening of Tuesday, Jan. 15. The incident took place in the parking lot of the First Federal Center, located at Hazard Community and Technical College.
Stidham, also known as Dalton Miller, confessed to the shooting and was placed under arrest at 10:53 p.m. on Jan. 15, according to the arrest citation and testimony given in court this week. He pleaded not guilty during his arraignment on Jan. 16, and his case was sent to the grand jury during a preliminary hearing held in Perry District Court on Tuesday.
It was during Tuesday's hearing that Major James East testified that he interviewed witnesses following the shooting, including one woman who described what she saw as the incident took place.
"She said she saw someone in the parking lot shooting," East testified. "She said he (the shooter) looked straight at her."
Major East also interviewed Stidham at the Hazard Police Department, during which Stidham told police that he had arrived at the college to exchange his child with Caitlin Cornett. It was then, East testified, that Stidham admitted to firing several shots with a Glock semi-automatic pistol. A total of 14 shell casing were recovered at the scene.
"He said he saw her (Caitlin Cornett) exit the vehicle, walk towards the back part of the vehicle," East testified. "He advised me that he exited his own vehicle, walked toward the front of the vehicle that she had exited, and began firing into the front driver's seat of that vehicle. He then turned his attention … to her, as she was out of the vehicle, and started firing toward her. He said then he saw someone moving in the back seat of the vehicle, and he started firing into the back seat."
East said Stidham later told him that alleged mistreatment of his son was a motive in the shooting, claiming that his son told him earlier that "they're being mean to me, they're whopping my ass."
"He said he couldn't take them being mean to his son," East said.
Stidham is currently lodged in the Leslie County Jail without bond, facing three counts of murder, one related to domestic violence. According to jail officials in Hazard, Stidham has declined all media interviews.

I love these round-table cable news discussions between "reasonable" people who just can't understand for the life of them why anyone would be so absolutist about such a trivial thing as free speech.
"We're not talking about banning violent video games," MSNBC "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough says, reasonably to his reasonable panel of guests, "But the government has a right to regulate." After all, Scarborough reasons, they regulate pornography—and how are digital games really any different than films that involve real people committing sexual acts for money?
Al Sharpton intones, reasonably enough, that "the abuse of the second amendment cannot be met with the abuse of the first amendment." The public has a "right" to oppose tasteless free speech, Sharpton argues, such as vulgar rap music. We play fast and loose with the word "right" by the way.
I want to channel Inigo Montoya: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means…."
Of course, it's these reasonable people who believe they are the best arbiters of what is "abuse" and what is not, and that naturally all reasonable people can and should agree on which "regulations" would help stop all this dangerous abuse.
The real problem is the "coarsening of America" Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski reasonably suggests. This is a subtle reference to the "good old days" when America was less coarse and more civilized, and bad things never happened because all our young people were brought up on Chicken Soup and Leave it to Beaver, and the streets were lined with cheese.
Of course, those "good old days" back before America was so coarsened included segregated schools, elderly people without a safety net, Jim Crow laws, two World Wars, and massive poverty all before the widespread adoption of television, let alone the advent of the terrifying "violent video game" or any other modern cultural bogey men.
Watching this panel reminds me once again why I fear bi-partisanship and moderation more than extremism in our government. At least the latter is often hamstrung by its own excesses; the former is more insidious.
Lord save us from these reasonable people.

Hamburg, NY – Elmira College took a 3-0 United Volleyball Conference (UVC) victory in their first-ever match at Hilbert College February 19 before they headed up the thruway to play at Medaille College later in the evening. Hilbert, playing short-handed due to injury and personal matters, hung tough with the upstart Elmira program, but hitting errors and missed blocks by Hilbert gave the visitors a 25-15, 25-23, 25-16 win improving their record to 2-3 UVC (5-8 overall) and dropped Hilbert to 0-3 UVC (1-12 overall).
In a balanced attack, Hilbert was led by Dan Wolfe (Rochester, NY/Irondequoit) with 5 kills (13 assists and six digs) and Fred Sickau (Eden, NY/Eden) who also had 5 kills (12 digs). RJ Sykora (Stow, OH/Stow Munroe Falls) had four kills, shared passing stats with seven assists as well as team leading digs (13) and solo blocks (2). Anthony Blasz (Eden, NY/Eden) and Rob Moyes (Paradise, CA/Pleasant Valley Baptist) each contributed four kills.
Elmira's Ryan Gelenitis owned the net with a 16 kills (.414 hitting) and nine digs while getting help from Eric Sandmann's 10 kills. Michael Velluta passes for 36 assists and had three solo blocks for the Soaring Eagles.
Hilbert travels to Nazareth College February 22 for their first single opponent UVC road game.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone.

≈Individual Characters≈
Global Remarks:
- The rules have been divided into several categories, however those are artificial. Often an ability or character can belong into several categories. For instance there are no Uchiha Clan rules even though it's a clan, those fall under the Sharingan rules or there aren't any Yamato rules, those fall under the Wood Release rules etc. So when you're searching for a specific character or ability and you can't find it under its name, it doesn't mean it isn't there.
- Sometimes it's possible to find info about abilities or characters in different threads. For instance you can find information about Roshi in the Lava Release rules and in the Jinchuuriki rules.
- You can't find rules for all the abilities and characters that have been mentioned in the manga. In most cases this means that that character doesn't need to have any special requirements and thus can be made if you have 50 posts like Konohamaru or Asuma Sarutobi. However there are always people who think that just because a strong character/ability hasn't been restricted, they can just make it and we will have no choice but to approve it...that kind of thinking is extremely naive. In such a case it means or we are making restrictions for it or we will make them now.

CHARLESTON — The last day of the 1st Session of the 81st Legislature was filled with much excitement, according to a press release issued by House of Delegates 20th District Representative, Justin Marcum. Numerous bills passed both the House and the Senate, although time ran out for the 2013 session before others had a chance for action to be taken on them.
Following in its entirety is the press release from Delegate Marcum's office concerning one bill that made it through in the nick of time, but only after it was reconsidered for vote a second time in the WV Senate.
"House Bill 2498 passed the House of Delegates by a vote of 94-4. This Bill was co-sponsored by myself (Delegate Justin Marcum), and House Finance Chairman, Harry Keith White (D-Mingo). The bill was requested by Sheriff Eugene Crum and Prosecutor C. Michael Sparks following an incident in Mingo County involving a member of the grand jury who 'tipped' off numerous drug indictments. These individuals who were indicted fled the State of West Virginia to Columbus, Detroit, and Kentucky."
"The legislation was intended to discourage jurors from tipping off drug dealers who might flee the State of West Virginia. I sponsored this bill in order to protect the secrecy of grand jury proceedings. The bill would protect officer and witness's safety, keep and preserve evidence, and defend the integrity of the grand jury proceedings."
"After the bill passed the House, it was then sent to the Senate. In the Senate, HB 2498 was voted down by a total of 25 to 9. Senator Truman Chafin, also of Mingo County, gave a floor speech against HB 2498. Chafin was quoted as saying, 'We should just throw this bill in the trash can.' Chafin also made rousing remarks regarding the bill that seemed to confuse many Senators."
"After this occurred, I proceeded to take further action and met with Senate President Jeff Kessler (D-Marshall), Senators Art Kirkendoll (D-Logan), Sam Cann (D-Harrison), Ron Stollings (D-Boone), and Rocky Fitzsimmons (D-Wheeling). After this meeting, Senator Sam Cann made a motion on the Senate floor to reconsider action taken on that vote."
"I was appalled that the original bill was voted down," stated Marcum in the press release. "It really upset me that such a great bill that will benefit the entire state was originally defeated."
"This bill is another tool that will be beneficial to help fight against the drug problem here in West Virginia, where drug trafficking is running rampant. We cannot allow jurors to perform such actions and not be held accountable or face repercussions."
Marcum went on to say that he remembers when he first arrived in the legislature following his appointment to fill the House vacancy created from the resignation of Delegate Steve Kominar, the first thing his mentor, Delegate H.K. White told him to do was to study the rules of the legislature because that can always play to your advantage. Delegate Marcum followed that advice and did just that, using the rules of the House to have HB 2498 reconsidered.
The bill was then sent from the House back to the Senate. Once this occurred, another vote was taken and HB 2498 passed the Senate by a vote of 31-3. The only Senators voting against the Bill, according to Marcum, were Chafin, Sen. Daniel Hall (D-Wyoming), and Sen. Mike Green (D-Raleigh).
"Senator Cookman, a former judge, stood up and gave a floor speech in support of the bill, commented Marcum. "Senator Cookman said that this will apply to all secret grand jury proceedings. Senator Corey Palumbo (D-Kanawha) also spoke in favor of the bill."
Marcum stated that he wanted to thank Senate President Jeff Kessler for his leadership and help with HB 2498. He added that Senators Art Kirkendoll, Ron Stollings, and Sam Cann were instrumental in helping keep this bill alive in order to continue the fight against drugs in West Virginia.
Senator Bill Cole (R-Mercer), who is also from the 6th Senatorial District, voted with Chafin initially but switched his vote after HB 2498 was reconsidered. He and Chafin both represent the 6th District in the Senate.
Delegate Marcum said he was "exceptionally proud" to have this important bill reconsidered and passed. HB 2498 is now off to Governor Earl Ray Tomblin for his signature.

text: Alaska is the largest state of the United States by area; it is situated in the northwest extremity of the North American continent, with Canada to the east, the Arctic Ocean to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the west and south, with Russia further west across the Bering Strait. Approximately half of Alaska's 698,473 residents live within the Anchorage metropolit ...an area. As of 2009, Alaska remains the least densely populated state of the U.S. Alaska has a longer coastline than all the other U.S. states combined. With its myriad islands, it has almost 34,000 miles (54,720 km) of tidal shoreline. The Aleutian Islands chain extends west from the southern tip of the Alaska Peninsula. Many active volcanoes are found in the Aleutians. One of the world's largest tides occurs in Turnagain Arm, just south of Anchorage – tidal differences can be more than 35 feet (10.7 m). The state has more than three million lakes and marshlands and wetland permafrost cover 188,320 square miles (487,747 km2) (mostly in northern, western and southwest flatlands), while glacier ice covers some 16,000 square miles (41,440 km2) of land and 1,200 square miles (3,110 km2) of tidal zone. With over 100,000 glaciers, Alaska is home to half of the world's glaciers.Show More

Keeping Beaches Safe… with Statistics!
EPA researchers and partners are creating tools to help beach managers protect public health
For countless Americans, summertime is beach time: millions flock to the nation's coastal and inland beaches during the hot months of June, July, and August to enjoy sun, sand, and surf.
Beaches, however, are parts of complex ecosystems, and conditions in these ecosystems can sometimes lead to hazardous concentrations of certain kinds of bacteria. Typically found in sewage, these bacteria can multiply in the water and pose health threats to swimmers.
That's why beach managers are careful to monitor water quality at their beaches and issue swim advisories or close beaches in the case of dangerous bacterial contamination. The problem is that water sampling and analysis can take over 24 hours, meaning an existing contamination might go undetected for that long.
Working with collaborators in the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), state and local governments, and academia, EPA researchers have come up with a way to solve this problem: Instead of testing water to find indicators of bacterial contamination after the fact, create models that can predict contamination in real-time or even before the contamination occurs.
Faster Laboratory Testing Methods
In addition to Virtual Beach, EPA scientists have also developed a faster laboratory method to test water for bacterial indicators. This method is called quantitative polymerase chain reactions (qPCR), which can cut the lab time needed down from over 48 hours to only a few hours.
In Racine, Wisconsin, Julie Kinzelman and her scientific team are testing Virtual Beach against both bacterial culture methods and qPCR. They've found that qPCR is accurate and fast, but they still hope to use Virtual Beach to cut down on the costs of laboratory analysis.
"The model we developed with Virtual Beach has performed very well," Kinzelman said. "The ultimate goal is to use the Virtual Beach model to predict bacteria exceedances, and then confirm those results with qPCR, which would create a big cost savings."
The solution is a software suite called Virtual Beach. EPA scientists released the latest version of the program in March 2012.
"Virtual Beach allows users to develop custom models for their unique beach, which can be used to predict when levels of indicator bacteria in water will signal potentially dangerous contamination," explained Mike Cyterski, an EPA scientist who has worked on the development of the program. Beach managers can easily map their beach using an intuitive graphical interface, and import measurement data on wave height, precipitation, and other factors into the program.
By looking at data on the local watershed, Virtual Beach's models can find correlations between certain weather and water conditions and bacterial outbreaks, giving beach managers advanced warning of the kinds of contamination events that lead to swim advisories and beach closures.
"It's a real step forward in routine water quality monitoring," said Adam Mednick, a research scientist with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, who has worked with EPA's scientists in testing and developing Virtual Beach for the last three years.
"Virtual Beach really improves ease of use," said Mednick. "The method of using predictive models for water quality has existed for a while, but this has made the process of developing the models much more efficient."
Virtual Beach has been successfully tested and used at beaches across the Great Lakes region, from Minnesota to Ontario. Researchers have also used it to successfully predict bacteria levels at marine beaches in Rhode Island, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, and Puerto Rico.
EPA scientists are working on the next version of Virtual Beach, which will include more statistical methods for data-crunching, as well as a way for users to automatically retrieve data available online from institutions such as NOAA, USGS, and EPA.

Reversible Quilted Jacket: This versatile jacket is like having two jackets in one! Stunning print on one side; reverses to a solid color on the other. Wear it with pants, skirts or denim – the choice is yours!
Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 3.29 out of 7 votes cast
Soft, Warm, Comfortable
These jackets run a bit large in size; I had to send mine back for a smaller one.I'm glad I did, because they are warm and comfortable! I ordered both colors.
Columbia, MO
Love This Jacket
This jacket is just the right color combination and pattern. Love that it's reversible. I gave 4 stars because of bleeding colors. I will put 1 cup white vinegar in the first wash to set the colors. This goes great with dresses and slacks/jeans. So many options.
Kotzebue, Alaska
Nice looking jacket!
I am going to get so much use from this jacket! Multiple shades of blue, so it will go with a bunch of different pants/skirts. (I haven't washed it, yet, but will wash it separately in cold water--thanks to the reviewers regarding washing it)
Virginia Beach, VA
Runs Big
This is a great jacket but it runs big. The sleeves hang halfway down my hand. The color does run...haven't washed it yet, almost afraid to. May do a light dryer cycle to see if it will shrink it a bit. I received this as a gift, but if I were to order it myself I would get a size smaller than what I usually wear.
Peoria, AZ
Looks beautiful but..
This jacket looks wonderful. However the color runs like crazy when washed. And once washed, the color continues to bleed onto the blouse you wear underneath.
don't wish to reveal
Attractive, but oversized
This jacket has been wanted for quite a while.So when it got on sale, I jumped into the opportunity. Was excited to meet it in person. The fabric, the print, the reversibility - are very appealing, but it looks much oversized. I usually order M, this is way too big.Goes back.The sizes need to be adjusted.
Brooklyn, NY
Runs large
The jacket is a light weight appropriate for moderate climates and was going to coordinate with several pieces for me. The colors are rich, and the smaller prints inside are also very attractive. But it is much too large. It hangs long in body and arms and looks like my tall uncle could wear it, so it has to go back.

When you are down
1 is throwing rocks.... if you kill the enemy with a rock you get back up
2 - throw something that knocks down the enemy
3- Get back up instantly but you will die after a few seconds
4- Channeled heal that will eventually bring you back up if you can be left casting it long enough
... Every thing is pretty easy to figure out don't know why you are struggling with figuring out what skills do, normally after using something 2-3 times you should know what everything does, I don't think I have read any of the tool tips for skill and I still know what each one does.

Sit just outside on the edges of a battle, just building Adrenaline and harrassing players, then BAM massive Kill shot just wreck people...
I made a build specifically for doing just that, building up Adrenaline to use the Rifle burst skill - more often, faster, and with greater effect!
It was pretty terrible for a 1vs1 or when I got jumped on, but with proper movement/timing and battlefield awareness you can be quite the deadly sniper.

As mentioned early the OP gave an excellent review.
I do agree that this is a great game but I am not in the "new" crowd that thinks the end of the "Holy Trinity" is good and that gear grind is bad. Action Combat is still a turn off to me and I think that it will prevent me from progressing past level 30 or so but I certainly enjoyed the combat in GW2. (With the exception of the next-to-the-last scene of the human Mesmer level 10 quest - it took me 7 tries to beat it at level 11!)
One minor point - you do compete for DE items. By this I give an example: we had to return items from a Skritt cave to the quest npc. Three times I got to an item but somebody got it before I did. If I was bitter (which I was not) I would say that it dropped my completion medal from gold to silver. But this is a minor point. I REALLY, REALLY like what Anet has done with the whole co-operative experience. For the first time ever in a game I don't cringe when I see another person sharing my quest. That, to me, is worth the price of admission.

What is "real"? How do you define "real"?

I just looked at it that everything on that skill bar was there to help me rally so I just click what I can when I can.
My only gripe about the downed function is that you can't really see what enemy you're attacking at that point.
As for dying: That happens a lot in this game, get used to it. I died a lot in every level area I've played in and so did most of the people I played with. It's a part of the game. It happens less as you really figure out how to play, but it still happens a lot.
@BadSpock - I should have said this in my first post: Great (P)review. I agree with most of what you said in your OP. Before this weekend I would have given the Personal Story barely a 6. I did the human one and didn't care for it at all. However, I found myself having a lot of fun with the Asura story this weekend so I would actually bump that score to an 8. I also enjoyed WvWvW quite a bit, but not so much with the sPvP. So you and I are flip flopped on that one. Other than that, I don't find much to disagree with.
Can't wait for release!

Edit: Oops, double post
Thanks for the responses.
Keep up the discussions, any other issues people had in the game?
I've probably been lurking for way, way too long.

No issues for me had a great weekend playing. Would agree with your scoring of the game as well. Guess my only issue would be not being able to play for a few more weeks...
Great Stuff badspock. the game was so good for me i'm now a fan of it. it took me back to the enitre reason MMOs are fun. we have lost that way these many years with the genre. but this one is something special and i think it will be a huge hit.
I look at the cash shop as a way to say thanks Anet heres a few bucks. more like a donation were you get something in return for your kindness. of course with every MMO release, some people are not got going to enjoy it. this round i think the ones that do enjoy are going to blot out the ones that don't.
Only frustration I had with the cash shop was that I looted about 10 Mystic Chests and only got 1 key (from my Personal Story quest.)
Thankfully, the chest I opened had some random useless stuff (flavor) and one "potion" to increase my damage... which I think are craftable anyway.
Not a game breaker - probably end up just selling my Mystic Chests on Trading Post because I don't care at all about mini-pets.
Got a lot of dyes throughout the weekend, but I'll probably buy the dye pack off the shop right away.
Might spend a bit on a bigger bag, though I never had I problem if you use "Send items to Collections" and beyond that I bet I'll spend a lot of Transmute Stones to look super awesome at all times.

From the 1 key I got from my personal story I opened one and got stuff + another mystic key
opened another one got stuff + another mystic key... and so on..4 more times
and then I looted a 2nd mystic key from mobs
so I actually ended up with more keys than chests :p
I guess I was just really lucky 'cause I thought they raised the chance of getting a key from the box or something

One of the things that makes the best mmorpg, is that the style of the world and the characters are AAAA. It is like they took EQ2 , Aion, and AoC style wise and mashed them up to a game that in some ways is comparable to skyrim.
The content flow is , do I day say, innovative. People will aregue that RiFt system or ect, but in GW2 that is the entire game, completely dydmaic content done in quest form. I never really had to talk to an NPC to get quests , just run to an area and look for an event/
Guild Wars 2 , is the greatest mmorg ever made since shadowbanes EPic sieging and character systems. GW2 is EPIC !
reviews are !@#$ing stupid. Play what you love.

You have to know the deal with unlocking the weapon skills and using the hero panel a bit. If you're really clueless then Anet isn't holding your hand as much as you could have gotten used to from other games. You just have to go out there and give it a shot. I think the first levels as forgiving enough to get to know the game a bit. You're not going to get killed if you don't know how to dodge from the get go.
The double tap and the exploration could be explained a bit better I guess, thought it's entirely possible you just clicked all the help away without really reading it.

Excellent review Spock! Definitely saved me the trouble of having to write my own.
I can see where some people might have issues w/ 'accessibility'. One of the double-edged swords of this game is it's content. It can be incredible once you finally 'get it', but the tradeoff is that it doesn't do a very good job of hand-holding. Those that don't take the initiative to figure it out on their own (or at least find someone they can ask for help) will miss out on a lot. It's one of the main reasons I keep telling people to slow down, stop & smell the roses. There's sooo much in this game that it's easy to overlooking a lot of the content, especially if you're new.
As for issues with the game, most of the ones I had were fairly minor.
I noticed I still had some map glitches this beta, in which the map would turn black for a little bit. It would correct itself, but was still somewhat jarring.
I also feel like the engineer & mesmer still need work. I had a blast with the engineer, but the changes they made to some of the toolkits (minefield) just seemed to lack any 'umpf'. I also don't like how the flamethrower STILL doesn't set things on fire. The trait to proc a 1sec burn is okay, but I feel like it should be able to set things on fire at least as much as the elementalist.
As for the mesmer, the clones did indeed feel a bit useless. I also really want them to change how marking works on mesmers. If you mark a mesmer it should mark all their clones & illusions as well, even after summoning new ones. It's too easy to spot the real one currently. I feel like the clones should also shatter where they stand, instead of having to run over to their target.
On a side note:
I noticed you mentioning some of the skill point challenges being bugged. I had originally thought the same. However, what I noticed is that some of them require an event in the erea to be at a certain stage in order to be accessible. They do work, but some of them won't spawn the mob you need to kill, if the nearby event is at the wrong stage. I noticed this multiple times across different zones, and came back when the event was at a different point in the chain and it worked fine.
I also noticed things like in the hylak village, if you buildings were all destroyed you couldn't access the skill point challenge. However, if the buildings were alive around it, you could trigger it just fine.

+1 to the review and score, pretty much bang on line with my own impressions. Not a 10, but a solid 9 based on the intelligent upgrade or makeover of all the classing mmorgs elements + the discarding of many elements that have ruined other well known titles.

Nolan Baumgartner retired from playing to become an assistant coach with the Wolves
For the past few years, Nolan Baumgartner knew he would attempt to begin a coaching career after his playing days were over.
After the Chicago Wolves fell in double overtime in the winner-take-all Game 5 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals and --- thus ending Baumgartner's 16th professional season --- he thought his offseason would be like the previous 15: rest up, sign a new contract and then begin preparing for season No. 17. That all changed when he discovered in June that the Vancouver Canucks didn't have a spot on their 50-man roster for him for the 2012-13 season. Instead they had another kind of contract ready and waiting for the former defenseman.
"Vancouver didn't have any room for me and then things didn't work out for me signing with and playing in Chicago," Baumgartner said. "With all the changes on the Wolves coaching staff that took place at the end of last season, they offered me the chance to become an assistant with Chicago.
"I have been thinking about becoming a coach when I got done playing, so it was an enticing offer. It just that it came sooner than I thought it would. But you know what? I am really comfortable with my decision of retiring and taking the job, and I'm really looking forward to the challenge."
Baumgartner admits that he never had a moment during the 2011-12 season that he contemplated retirement and he fully expected to hit the ice as a player this season. He had a few teams contact him about the possibility of patrolling their blueline, but he never pursued them after he caught wind on Vancouver's potential target to replace Craig MacTavish as the Wolves head coach.
"Once Vancouver presented me the offer to be an assistant coach in Chicago, I sat on it for a few days to really think about it," Baumgartner said. "As the Canucks told me some of the names they had in mind for the head position I would just listen. But when I heard Scott Arniel was one of them, that was something that really intrigued me."
Vancouver hired Arniel on June 26 and, 10 days later, Baumgartner retired as a player and signed on to be one of his former head coach's assistants in Chicago. The chance to learn under Arniel and the chance to continue to work in Chicago was enough to let Baumgartner know it was his time to move on to the next phase of his career.
"Just knowing Scott was going to be in Chicago and having the opportunity to start my coaching career under him was something too good to pass up," Baumgartner said. "It was the right decision and right timing for myself to stop being a player and become a coach."
The 36-year-old Baumgartner ended his pro career with 143 National Hockey League games and 878 American Hockey League outings to his credit. All in all, he tallied 437 points in 1,021 career games with 12 teams and served as three franchises' captain, including the Wolves. Looking back on his illustrious career, he can recall his first pro goal like it was yesterday – which came way back in 1996 – and fondly remembers his 500th and 1,000th career games. However, there was one season that sticks out to him and one that he will look to take things from and make them a part of his coaching philosophies.
"The 2008-09 season as a member of the Manitoba Moose was a special year in my career and something I still think about," Baumgartner said. "We made the Calder Cup finals that season and we ended up losing. But looking back on that season, it was really great experience. We had a great team and a great group of guys. Then in the playoffs, just to see the lengths that guys would go to win a game was unbelievable. Whether it was playing hurt or making other sacrifices. It taught me what it takes to win. That will now help me out coaching."
First-year coaches typically encounter many challenges on the job and one challenge Baumgartner might encounter from the get-go could be transitioning from player to coach on a team filled with players he went to battle with last season. More than 15 players from last season return to the Wolves this year, all of whom viewed Baumgartner as a captain, friend, and teammate. Now the past relationships will take on a new form as a coach. Something Baumgartner sees as an easy transition.
"The players and I both know that it is different now," Baumgartner said. "I am still their friend, but it is at a different level now. It might be a little bit different at first, but I don't think it will be difficult. I think the respect factor is there from the guys and it is on my side. It will be enjoyable and fun to be on the other side of it."
Even though Baumgartner sees this new challenge as fun, he still has imposed expectations on himself. He wants to go in and just be a sponge to soak everything Arniel and Mike Foligno, the Wolves other new assistant, have to offer. He also knows one of his main duties will be to bring energy to the rink every day and have a great attitude around the guys. But people familiar with his playing style should see a similar style in the way he wants to coach.
" I am going to try to be the best person I can out there for the Wolves," Baumgartner said. "I took pride in working hard when I played, so I am going to do the same when I'm coaching."

This is the fifth and final post in a series on implementing the Sanctuary Model in the home.
By Denise Morganthall
Our basic needs for survival are water, food and the air that we breathe. But communication is a basic need for survival in a family.
Families that promote communication talk openly and often and express themselves clearly. They share their hopes, dreams, fears, joys, sorrows, experiences and needs. They take the time to talk and to listen, allowing them to understand other family members' feelings too. Communication is more than just the exchange of words between family members but also encompasses facial expressions, body language, tone and posture.
When we fail to communicate, it can create chaos in the home and be detrimental to a family's happiness. A lack of communication can cause a child to develop aggressive behaviors, as a cry for attention. It can also lead to a lack of self confidence and motivation and contribute to what many call the "generation gap."
It is important not just to talk with each other, but to communicate in a way that all people feel safe from criticism regarding their emotions. Open communication involves speaking not shouting, addressing conflict directly and speaking kindly. In short it is saying what you mean and not being mean when you say it. Here are some questions to ask yourself to ensure you are communicating in a manner consistent with Sanctuary:
Actions often speak louder than words. Smiles, hugs and just being there for your child are all part of communication. Helping a child study for a test shows you care. Spending time together doing fun activities builds strong family ties. Many families find that family meetings can improve communication because they give each family member a chance to express opinions and ideas and offer compliments or complaints.
Life brings about constant change, and families are always growing and changing along the way. Children get older and move on; adults switch jobs or retire; families move to different communities; relationships are reshaped by birth, marriage, divorce, sickness or death. Family relationships are most likely to remain healthy and strong if family members adapt to these changes and support each other through them.
A family cannot grow as a whole unless each family member has the desire to grow. Change is inevitable, but growth is optional and must come from within. It takes time, energy and motivation. It all begins with having the right attitude. When you can put a positive spin on a negative event, it helps you to realize we can all grow if we want it badly enough. But growth is not always easy. We make mistakes, get stuck and fall back on old habits. But learning from our mistakes, and letting our children learn from theirs, is how we grow.

You might not have heard of steampunk just yet, but expect to see mannequins in the windows of the biggest mall stores sporting the feminized-military, retro/futuristic look this year like never before.
So says IBM's social sentiment index, which measures what's trending on social networks and blogs.
Steampunk is a science fiction/fantasy sub-genre that's a style mash-up of 19th century industrialized looks and Victorian flourishes, drawing from the work of authors like Jules Verne and H.G. Wells.
And in fashion, steampunk "kind of looks like engineering work clothes meets Victorian high fashion," Dr. Trevor Davis, consumer products expert of global business services for IBM, told Forbes.
Long Term Trend?
Using its proprietary analysis, IBM tracks the spread of trends geographically, chronologically and now culturally. And it found steampunk – popular of late in fiction and the visual arts – is already inching its way into mainstream fashion, and is poised to blow up for a mass-market audience this year.
According to IBM, 55 percent of social sentiment chatter for steampunk was generated by blogs. Meanwhile, Twitter was the #1 social network for steampunk buzz, and 33 percent of the fashion chatter on gaming sites was steampunk centric.
These are telling indicators that the steampunk trend will expand from small manufacturing on sites such as Etsy and collections from high-end designers like Prada and Alexander McQueen, to mass production by major fashion labels, jewelry and accessories makers, and to national chains such as H&M and Zara, Davis said. "It won't be long before the mainstream catches up to this.
"Most people are very interested in fast moving trends. We're interested in slow-moving trends that [reflect] some social demographic change" — which in the end are more meaningful to retailers as they have a longer shelf life, he said.
So how will steampunk show up in mall stores this year? In jewelry and accessories, "you'll see finishes that look more metallic, more use of woods that are associated with the Victorian era, like teak and mahogany, and we'll see some very ornate features on them," Davis said. Steampunk is also characterized by showing the inner workings of an item, such as cogs and gears, as a design element.
In apparel, expect to see heavy use of black and gray, and "clothing details that look like they belong on a military uniform, such as braiding," as well as the use of lace, multi-layered skirts "and changes to stitching more consistent with a Victorian look," he said.

I love your quilts. I'm very new to quilting and just as I was getting excited about finishing my first quilt my machine started making a really loud noise. I oiled it in all of the places my manual suggests but the noise won't go away. (I made a 1 minute video of it so people could hear what noise it is making). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDlY9R7ABXk Any advice as to what could be wrong so that I can get back on my way and finish my quilt?
