Not the usual profile you might think of, these caregivers of wounded warriors. Most of them are young. Many are parenting young children while holding down full-time jobs.
"I should have the same health care that the Senators and Congressman that sent me to war have."
That's what former Marine Lu Lobello said to me in an email after a harrowing experience with the VA…not filing the claim, nor proving the need, and not even the wait for benefits or medical treatment. All that had been done. This was something simpler. He was moving to Las Vegas and needed his prescription mailed to the new address. One time.
In January of 2014, CNN reported that at least 19 veterans had died because of delays in diagnosis and treatment at VA hospitals. In January of 2013 I posted a blog here about the VA's backlog of claims and the fact that, according to The Bay Citizen, retroactive benefits had been paid to nearly 19,500 veterans who died waiting.
In my last post I talked about the effect of the fall of Fallujah on veterans. Veterans of all eras. Not just the ones who served in Anbar province or in other parts of Iraq in 2004 when both Battles of Fallujah took place. You read that right: both. The battles in April and December of that year were among the fiercest, the bloodiest.
When the news hit about an al-Qaeda-affiliated force taking control of Fallujah, I knew I'd be hearing from vets. Especially the Marine vets in Florida I'd known since 2008 when a buddy of theirs whom I'd treated for PTSD here in Los Angeles, asked me if I'd work with them and then handed me a plane ticket to Florida.
Here's something to sink your chompers into! The VA is rolling out a dental insurance program. FINALLY!
Brace yourself. At last you'll have a chance to fill the largest gap in your medical coverage. (Puns intended). It's about time, isn't it?
The Veterans Administration Dental Insurance Program is hot off the press…just started November 15. Coverage takes effect on January 1st. It's the VA's way of saying Happy New Year.

A Devotional Series by Charles H. Spurgeon
Tuesday, November 20, 2012
"The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks." {#Pr 30:26}
Conscious of their own natural defencelessness, the conies resort to burrows in the rocks, and are secure from their enemies. My heart, be willing to gather a lesson from these feeble folk. Thou art as weak and as exposed to peril as the timid cony, be as wise to seek a shelter. My best security is within the munitions of an immutable Jehovah, where his unalterable promises stand like giant walls of rock. It will be well with thee, my heart, if thou canst always hide thyself in the bulwarks of his glorious attributes, all of which are guarantees of safety for those who put their trust in him. Blessed be the name of the Lord, I have so done, and have found myself like David in Adullam, safe from the cruelty of my enemy; I have not now to find out the blessedness of the man who puts his trust in the Lord, for long ago, when Satan and my sins pursued me, I fled to the cleft of the rock Christ Jesus, and in his riven side I found a delightful resting place. My heart, run to him anew tonight, whatever thy present grief may be; Jesus feels for thee; Jesus consoles thee; Jesus will help thee. No monarch in his impregnable fortress is more secure than the cony in his rocky burrow. The master of ten thousand chariots is not one whit better protected than the little dweller in the mountain's cleft. In Jesus the weak are strong, and the defenceless safe; they could not be more strong if they were giants, or more safe if they were in heaven. Faith gives to men on earth the protection of the God of heaven. More they cannot need, and need not wish. The conies cannot build a castle, but they avail themselves of what is there already: I cannot make myself a refuge, but Jesus has provided it, his Father has given it, his Spirit has revealed it, and lo, again tonight I enter it, and am safe from every foe.

Whether you're looking for Montessori materials for a Montessori school, traditional preschool, homeschool, or occasional use at home, there are plenty of materials to choose from online. And with so many online resources, there are now Montessori materials available for all budgets.
The Materials You See in Many Montessori Schools
In pictures of Montessori schools, you'll often see lots of beautifully crafted wooden Montessori materials. Very often these are from Nienhuis Montessori. Nienhuis Montessori materials are available throughout the world for anyone to purchase.
Many Montessori schools also buy materials from Gonzagarredi. Both Nienhius and Gonzagarredi make their materials from Association Montessori Internationale (AMI)blueprints. The only other AMI approved Montessori material company is Matsumoto, a Japanese company.
Less Expensive Sources for Montessori Materials
If you're looking for materials for a traditional preschool or home setting, cost may be a primary consideration. There are still excellent options for Montessori materials that are practical for your setting.
Here are a number of companies you can check out for the type of materials and price range best for you and your situation:
Alison's Montessori (UPDATE 12/16/13: I reviewed these Alison's Montessori value-line materials: Pink Tower, Brown Stair, Red Rods and Stand, Natural Geometric Solids, Sandpaper Numbers, and Small Movable Alphabet – Alison's Montessori Review.)
Absorbent Minds Montessori Absorbent Minds Montessori is a UK company with Montessori materials in three price ranges: premium (Nienhuis Montessori), standard (Absorbent Minds), and budget (Discount Montessori).
The Materials Company of Boston
Montessori Supplies (a UK company)
Absorbent Minds Montessori (a UK company)
Teaching from a Tackle Box (small versions of Montessori materials for limited space)
Adena Montessori WARNING: See Tracey's, Pamela's, and Jennifer's comments below about Adena Montessori. Also, read this warning review from Montessori MOMents: Adena Montessori Review.
Specialized Montessori Materials (practical life, Montessori 3-part cards vocabulary cards, etc.). Like the practical life activities from Montessori n' Such, many of these materials are inexpensive and easy to add to any home.
For Small Hands (products specifically for Montessori at home)
Montessori Research and Development
Polliwog (sandpaper letters and numerals)
TTS (not a Montessori company, but a UK company with inexpensive sandpaper letters)
Young Minds at Play (solid maple and cherry hardwood materials with beeswax/oil finish)
Andrea Coventry has a Yahoo Voices article called Where to Find Montessori Materials in Rochester, NY. It has a good review of Kaybee Montessori materials as well as ideas of where to buy materials for Montessori activities such as practical-life activities. Many of the stores listed are nationwide, and the information is also applicable to similar types of stores.
Used Montessori Materials
Montessori Swap Yahoo Group (buy or sell Montessori books and materials)
My Experiences with Montessori Suppliers
When I owned my Montessori preschool in the 1980s, I purchased Montessori materials from Nienhius Montessori, Michael Olaf, and Montessori Services. During my children's elementary years, I purchased some materials from Montessori Research and Development. All my experiences with those companies were wonderful. When I needed Montessori materials to use in a day nursery in England for my master's degree school placement, I purchased materials inexpensively from Absorbent Minds Montessori, a Montessori Marketplace, and TTS (sandpaper letters). I had great experiences with those companies as well.
This post will be a work in process as I discover new sources and gain feedback. The list of Montessori suppliers is LONG, so you'll have to do some comparison shopping for the current prices. Read the comments as well for recommendations from other Montessori homeschoolers!
UPDATES: Chasing Cheerios had a post on February 17, 2011, with helpful recommendations in the comments: Where to buy Montessori Materials?
Making Montessori Ours has a post with suggestions about ordering Montessori materials for a homeschool and special tips for Canadian homeschoolers.
Check out the discussion at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page about where to buy materials if you live in Canada.
Vibrant Wanderings has a post which is especially helpful for anyone starting a Montessori school: Setting up a Montessori Children's House: Where to Buy Materials.
If you're wondering about the mini Montessori materials, check out the comments in this post for helpful information: How to Start Using Montessori at Home.
Check out the discussion at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page about Kid Advance and Montessori Outlet.
In case you didn't see my link earlier in the post, here's my review of Alison's Montessori.
I have an eBook on teaching manners to children ages 2-12: Montessori at Home or School: How to Teach Grace and Courtesy!
Have you had experience with Montessori suppliers?

Rotate an ASP.NET Image Control using HTML 5 Canvas
Posted by:
Suprotim Agarwal
, on 12/16/2011, in
The Canvas element is an HTML tag that you can embed inside an HTML document, for the purpose of drawing graphics, via a JavaScript API. In this article, we will see how to use the HTML 5 canvas element to rotate an Image served by the ASP.NET Image Control.
The HTML5 canvas is one of the oldest HTML 5 elements. Introduced by Apple Inc. initially in 2004, the Canvas element made its way into the first HTML 5 draft specification. The Canvas element is an HTML tag that you can embed inside an HTML document, for the purpose of drawing graphics, via a JavaScript API.
In this article, we will see how to use the HTML 5 canvas element to rotate an Image served by the ASP.NET Image Control.
Step 1:
Open VS 2010 and create an ASP.NET Website. Set it's target schema for validation as HTML 5 by going to Tools > Options > Text Editor > HTML > Validation
If you do not see the HTML 5 option, make sure you have installed
Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1
Web Standards Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Step 2:
Declare the following markup
As you can see, we have declared an HTML 5 canvas element of dimensions 400x400 and an ASP.NET Image control with display set to none. I will explain shortly, why the display is set to none.
Step 3:
Now declare the following JavaScript code inside the <head> element
Let us understand this code line by line
The window.onload is to wait for the page to load before trying to access the canvas tag by its ID. To draw on the canvas, we need a reference to it. We have used getElementById to get this reference from the DOM. We then set a variable
to reference the 2D context of the canvas, which is used for all drawing purposes. In other words, we are asking the Canvas to give us a context to draw on.
If you are wondering if there is 3D context too, then the answer is not yet! Take a look at WebGL and SceneJS.
The next line of code, references the asp.net image control in JavaScript using ClientID. We have also declared the width and height variables for the image. Do not set the image width and height in the mark up, since you have set the display property to none.
The final step is to rotate the image
We are using a
transform to move the center point of the coordinate system, which is in the top-left corner of the canvas (0,0). We have to move the center position because we have to
the canvas context by 45 degrees, around this current position. After moving the center point, it is now (200,200).
the canvas.width and height is 400 and 400/2 = 200.
After moving your reference point to (200,200), we are now centering our image over that point, by calling the drawImage() method. We are drawing the image from above and to the left, of your current reference point.
context.drawImage(img, x, y, width, height)
This function makes a 200 × 200 pixel box for the image, with the top-left corner at point (-100,-100).
The last step is to set the image source to the desired image. The reason we set the
property of the ASP.NET image control to
is to avoid displaying the image twice; once where the image control is declared outside the canvas and second, where we are drawing the image inside the canvas.
Detecting Browser Support and Graceful Degradation
The latest versions of IE (9 onwards), Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera all provide reasonably good support for the Canvas element. However for users who are using older browser versions, we can easily detect browser support or gracefully display a message, if the user's browser does not support Canvas. For eg: to check if your browser supports canvas and the getContext method exists, change the line of code to:
There's yet another approach to detect HTML 5 feature support on browsers, which I use often in my HTML 5 apps.
is a JavaScript library that detects the availability of HTML5 (and CSS3) features.

Why bother with this pathetic, childish examples. Who cares about crap?? This crap is just about you putting your face in the asp.net website, is not meant to be a tutorial of any benefit to anybody. If you want to really help the community provide tutorials that are meaningful in a real world scenario.
by the way the email is fake but the comments aren't.

Looks like a well written article, but you really should put a link to a demo before diving into the technical. Can you send a link?

The asp:image tag's ImageUrl will not be available to server-side code because you've set it with JavaScript, so why bother with asp:image when you could just use img? If you need to set an image path via server-side code, then the asp:image ImageUrl would already be set, and you could use imgObj.src=imgObject.src+'?rotate'; to trigger the rotation script.

I disagree with Derp and I am not sure what he means when he says ImageUrl will not be available in JS. The purpose of the ImageUrl is to set the path to the image and that can be done using document.getElementById("<%= imageCtrl.ClientId %>").src = "...";
We are doing something similar in our application (we are using jquery too) where we have an asp.net image control and perform manipulations on it using client code. We have used a lot of code and have been thinking to use HTML 5. This article makes a lot of sense to me.
I wish the author had also shown how to save the rotated image!

Richard, this is just a little snippet that you can be useful in some situation that you can't even think of it with your own brain. You wrote that this article is childish but i see childish comment style from you instead.

I was reading your article and I would like to appreciate you for making it very simple and understandable. This article gives me a basic idea of Dynamically loading image in Image control in ASP.NET and it helped me a lot. I had found another nice post over the internet which also have a wonderful explanation on Dynamically loading image in Image control in ASP.NET, for more details of that post you may visit this url...
Thank you very much for your precious post.

The members concerts at Chateau Ste. Michelle are one of the highlights of our year. Because we have duel memberships we get 4 tickets every year and usually attend both events. This year they set the members events to fall over one weekend. Woodinville is only about an hour away from home but since we had events both Saturday and Sunday we booked a room so that we didn't have to drive home in between (also so we can write about the Willows Lodge in Woodinville, but that's another blog).
Our two oldest daughters meet us at the winery every year(they are both members too). After Joel's surgery Friday I wasn't sure that we were going to make it, but Joel refused to be kept away. Spending time with the family is our top priority so we packed up the car and and headed out. Our timing was perfect. We arrived, parked and made our way to the line just as the girls walked by. It couldn't have been better choreographed if we had planned it ahead of time.
We were also meeting friends and they had gotten in just ahead of us and were setting up our spot just to the left of the stage. Over the next five minutes we had blankets down, cooler and picnic basket set, plates out and headed up to get our glasses. The lines for tasting weren't too bad this year so we had our first tastes quickly. Over the next two hours we tasted, we talked, we laughed and we enjoyed the perfect day.
Joel bought a couple of bottles of the 2006 Columbia Valley Tempestade – Limited Release for the concert.
2006 Columbia Valley Tempestade – Limited Release WINEMAKER NOTES
"This is the second Tempestade Red Wine from Chateau Ste. Michelle. Sourced from Portuguese varietals in our Cold Creek vineyard, this earthy wine delivers pronounced aromas of chocolate, coffee and spice. On the palate, the Tempestade is dense and full, with a rich, layered finish. It is a very bold wine not for the timid."
And what a bold wine it was. There were six wines to taste but this was our favorite. Me, flavors of chocolate and coffee? You can't go wrong with that.
The Girls liked the 2009 Columbia Valley Gewürztraminer.
2009 Columbia Valley Gewürztraminer TASTING NOTES
"A fan favorite, this Gewürztraminer is such an enjoyable wine with exuberant fruit and clove spice. This is a lush style of Gewürztraminer with a lot of floral character, yet it still maintains the grape's natural crisp character. A touch of Muscat offers citrus notes and a deeper spice character. Try this wine with Thai food or any cuisine with a little "bite" to it." -Bob Bertheau, Winemaker
Natalie MacMaster came on stage and the place lit up. Ms. MacMaster is entertaining, and plays the hell out of that fiddle. The crowd wanted good music to go with the wonderful day and they weren't disappointed. There is something so right about a summer evening, great wine and fiddle music, it just feels natural.
I didn't know much about Ms. MacMaster before the concert (it never matters who is playing, we always have fun) but I will certainly pick up a couple of CD's for in-car enjoyment.
We had a wonderful time at this event and this is only the beginning of one fabulous weekend.
As Always,
Love, Laugh, Learn… LIVE!

I work at a medical insurance company, so I talk to providers and members all day. I wanted to say that 1st b/c the type of complaint I'm going to give about this place is about the front desk staff and their responsibility to their patients and their providers. I spoke to a elderly woman with bright blue eyes, when she quoted me my co-pay I was shocked as it was $70 for contact lenses. $10 for the co-pay and $60 for fitting. I explained to her that I didn't need a fitting that I already paid a fee last year for the fitting last year since it was my 1st year wearing contacts. She said it was probably my insurance, so I asked if she checked if they were in network and she said she didn't know. As my background in medical insurance, the calls that I take are providers checking benefits and to check if THEY'RE IN NETWORK. Meaning, her JOB is to check if they're office in in network. If they're not in network, patients have to pay an out of network fee and sometimes a penalty, so the price that she was quoting in the 1st place is incorrect. The "fitting" fee is also incorrect, b/c she MUST know of they're in network to provide an accurate co-pay. So I do not recommend this office as their staff does not have the best interest for their patients at all.
They have poor customer service. I was told on the phone that they could tell me my diopter from my existing glasses and would do so for no charge. This would enable me to get some swimming goggles that would help me see while swimming.
When I arrived at the store, I was then informed that they would not do it, and that I needed to see a doctor for a prescription. I wouldn't have minded if that was what they had told me on the phone.
I will be getting my next set of glasses elsewhere.
Very fast service, Hassle free return, thanks! – I went to Eyemasters because I needed affordable lenses fast, as I was suddenly needing to drive to Dallas and had broken my glasses. My optometrist (not the one at their store) messed up my new prescription in one eye. So... when my glasses were ready at the end of the day, something just didn't feel right. I am a bit irked at the optician (I didn't catch her name) who initially helped me. I told her something was wrong the moment I put them on, but she sort of brushed me off and told me my eyes would adjust. By the end of the night I had a horrible migraine and had discovered a small crack in the lens that was wrong. The next morning I went directly to my doctor, and the prescription error was discovered and corrected. The next stop was Eyemasters, who had a new (non-cracked) lens in my frames within one hour. Thanks to their swift and griefless exchange of the flawed lens, I can say that I am definitely satisfied with the outcome. They handled my return well, especially given how upset I was. Be cautious if the glasses don't feel right immediately, trust your gut and go straight back to your doctor and have them check the lenses! Otherwise, I would recommend this location for their quick service and hassle free returns.
Lakeline Mall Optometry-Dr. Dwarsky – Dr. Dwarsky is EXCELLENT at testing your vision and fitting you with contact lenses. He is extreemly patient, kind, listens to what you say and puts you in the very best product he has available.
Terrible Terrible!!!!!! – I had an eye exam there a couple of weeks ago. My previous numbers were -2.75 (OS) and -3.00(OD). After the examination, Dr. Patel's new prescription included the following : -3.75 (OS) and -4.75 (OD). I have been wearing my glasses for more than 10 years and I have never had such a huge change. The doctor seemed very inexperienced and the girl assisting her was not even trained. So, I went to some other doctors and I was told that the actual OS was -3.25 and OD was -3.50.
I was just shocked how Dr. Patel could make such an enormous terrible mistake. What was gonna happen if I had had those glasses she prescribed?? Migraines, vision problems, my money... Gosh, I am so angry!!! Worse than that, I went there to ask for a full refund, and told me they would call me back. No one did! I called them again today and someone named H..y talked to me on the phone. She did not care and was excessively mean!!!!!!! Just stay away from this awful place if you do not want to be blind!!!!!!!!!!!!! This place is terrible! Do not waste your time and money!!!!!!!! Your health is important and they do NOT care about it at all!!!!!
Avoid this locations at all costs. Stick to Any other Eyemasters in town. – I am usually never one to complain nor take things to heart so easily, but I had recently gone to the Lakeline Mall Eyemasters store and was "helped" by a lady by the name of Gina.
I originally came into the store, looked around for a bit while the other employees were helping other customers, no big deal. This lady was on the cell phone for about 15 minutes(obviously talking to friends or family) and even though I was the only unattended customer, still no help. I waited around some more, and she had finally come to ask me if I needed any help. She asked me to wait shortly after and said she was going to be right back. I waited probably another 15 minutes or so, and even got asked by the other employees(the other employees are really nice, no problems there) if I needed any help. I told them that I was waiting on her since she was handling my paperwork and such. She finally comes back to help, and then tries to rush me through the paperwork process, which I wasn't very pleased about. She was very rude and short with me pretty much the whole time, and it turns out that she is actually the MANAGER of this location. After I had taken enough of nearly being rushed out of the store, I told her not to bother, and that I would go to the Barton Creek location instead.
I found this very hard to believe, and wondered how this lady actually holds a manager title at this location with an attitude like that. It really made me wonder if she is like this with all customers, and even her own employees, which seemed much nicer and competent than her.
This is the only time Eyemasters has let me down, and I will continue to let friends know to be weary of this location due to Gina's attitude. It is really sad when one person can ruin an persons experience like this. I hope anyone who reads this will save themselves some time next time they want to get glasses/contacts.

I hope you are sitting down when you hit "play." Joi Ito, the host of today's special Boing Boing tv episode from Tokyo, explains what you're about to witness:
This year, the Digital Garage New Context Conference and Ellen Levy's Silicon Valley Connect worked together on a program for visitors from Silicon Valley to Tokyo. Silicon Valley Connect is a program that Ellen runs which brings executives and visionaries from Silicon Valley to various parts of the world. This year, we organized a group to visit Japan.
As part of the "cultural program" we decided to take a tour of Akihabara, the mecca of all things otaku, anime and electronic in Japan. I asked a very special friend, Danny Choo, son of the famous shoe designer Jimmy Choo, to lead the tour. I call Danny "The Prince of Akihabara". He is one of the world's experts on Japan's otaku culture and has one of the most popular English language websites about Japan.
One of his favorite things is to dress up as a storm trooper and spread his love and happiness in Akihabara. He is often accompanied by his side-kick Darth Vader, played by Hector Garcia who also has a super-popular blog about Japan. (Danny on CNN talking about this hobby of his.)
When I talked to Xeni Jardin about this, we decided that this might make a good Boing Boing TV episode... and I think we were right.
Thanks to everyone who participated and helped.
Participants from Silicon Valley included Ellen Levy (LinkedIn), Ken Glidewell, Loic Le Meur (Seesmic), Geraldine Le Meur (Le Web), bunnie Huang (Chumby), Jean-Marie Hullot (Fotonauts), Matt Flannery (Kiva), Julie Hanna Farris (SocialText) and Chamath Palihapitiya (Facebook).
Update: Danny "Prince of Akihabara" Choo has blogged his thoughts about the stormtroopin' hijinx on dannychoo.com. He has a wonderful photo gallery from the tour here.
Boing Boing editor/partner and tech culture journalist Xeni Jardin hosts and produces Boing Boing's in-flight TV channel on Virgin America airlines (#10 on the dial), and writes about living with breast cancer. Diagnosed in 2011. @xeni on Twitter. email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Anyone know what that track was in the middle there? I couldn't find it in the credits, and it was awesome!

It's pretty hot, huh? It's not commercially available, it's music from a licensing firm we subscribe to. Ping me offline if you want more details, but it's not something you can download for $.99, alas.

Abstracts Of Magnetized WaterSubmitted by staff on Sun, 2006-07-30 01:30.
Galitzer, M. and Reminick, H. "A Study on the Efficacy of a Naturally Magnetized Water on Improving Kidney Function and Cell Stability", Explore! for the Professional, Prescott, AZ, Vol 10:4, 2001.
Introduction: Among the many functions demanded of water in sustaining the health and stability of a living organism is its role as a solvent, catalyst and transporter. For water to be effective in the body it must be able to hydrate and nourish cells and remove toxins. It must contain properties which react to the body's magnetic field. Water which is naturally formed with magnetic properties and free of any contamination will provide the body with the best opportunity to remain balanced and age more slowly.

Comments On Sep 03, 2013:Additional protection from the elements. Add the spoilers to handgaurds for the ultimate in wind/rain protection. Throw these on in the fall to help with colder weather riding.. Great value as well.

Comments On Jun 10, 2013:Fit perfectly on the deflectors and mixing and matching the colors looked great on my machine.
The spoilers added enough protection to keep my hands warm in the cooler months and kept branches from reaching my knuckles in the trees.

Comments On Apr 27, 2011:I have purchased several sets of these. I started running them as my only cover over my aluminum hand guards (not as a second air deflector like the pictures show). They work great, and they're cheap and easy to replace if you scratch them up.

Comments On Mar 09, 2009:Neat product that offers slightly more protection and the convenience of being easy to change. If you scratch them up, break them, get sick of the color, it's very easy and inexpensive to change them. I've got black spoilers over red guards and it looks sick!

Comments On Aug 13, 2008:Works like a charm. Put these over your main handguard and when you crash just spend a few dollars. Looks good too.

Boehner claimed that the goal of the Republican Party was jobs, jobs, jobs. But what has really taken place in the U.S. House since 2010 is disgraceful. The hypocrisy of Boehner, Rep. Mike Rogers and other Republicans has been their relentless quest to get rid of President Obama at all costs. While the president has bent over backwards to move this country forward, Boehner and company have continually tightened the purse strings of progress with their whining for tax breaks for the richest Americans.
It is painfully clear that the Republicans in Congress will do nothing to help our economy before the November elections. In fact, Boehner bragged that the Republican-held House has made a real difference in changing the direction of this country. He wasn't lying in his assessment. The GOP-controlled House has stopped meaningful job growth under his watch and practically shut the U.S. economy down along with it.
In all fairness to the Ohio congressman, credit should be given where it is due. Boehner led the charge to print new pocket-size editions of the U.S. Constitution to give to constituents. He led the House efforts to hold Democratic Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of something? Why, House leader Boehner even led the charge to repeal the Affordable Care Act 33 times. But all is not lost on the congressman's accomplishments. Two post offices were named under his awesome leadership and recent unemployment numbers reflect GOP failures in putting out-of-work Americans (and Alabamians) back to work.

** The Traditional Leadville and other traditional-style sandals use traditional laces and tying styles. If you're looking for a slip-on, simply adjustable lacing option, visit the regular Leadville, Mono, Venado, and Leadville Pacer product pages. **
This rugged sandal is designed for hardcore trails. Barefoot Ted put the Leadville through rigorous testing on the 2010 Leadville Trail 100, where they performed exceptionally well.
The Leadville takes the edge off all those sharp rocks that otherwise can bruise and tenderize the bottom of your feet. The sole of this sandal is a 10mm Vibram neoprene rubber (11-12mm when combined with a footbed) that is lightweight, durable, and has an aggressive tread pattern. Each pair of sandals are cut and assembled by hand for each order.
Our new MGT (Monkey Grip Technology) footbed maintains the black, low profile, look of the naked top Lunas while improving traction and durability.
The 1mm vegan footbed adds reinforcement to the toe and ankle holes without significantly increasing total sole thickness or detracting from ground feel. Lunas with the MGT footbed are more slip resistant on trails and in wet conditions.
Traditional Laces:
Traditional laces have been used for thousands of years on huaraches sandals. They're secure, stylish, and infinitely adjustable with multi tying and wearing methods.
All sandals ordered with traditional laces are tied with a traditional overhand knot, but with our countersunk method the knot will sit deeper in the sandal making it longer lasting and less prone to abrasion. A washer is added between the knot and sandal to prevent the knot from pulling through the toe hole.
Traditional Ribbon laces are our most comfortable traditional lacing option yet. The ribbon is the same material used between the toes on our ATS laces, but for the entire length of the lace. If you love traditional laces, but have trouble with irritation from our thicker leather laces, give our Traditional Ribbon a try.
¼" traditional leather laces are a high quality wax impregnated latigo lace. These laces are strong and comfortable.
The ⅜" traditional leather laces are 10mm wide (all other traditional laces are about 6mm wide), adding extra security and strength to your sandals. These laces may not be as comfortable for those that are new to wearing huaraches as they are very thick and sturdy between the toes.
Braided hemp laces that are soft, comfortable, vegan, and get tighter when wet, giving them a distinct advantage over other traditional lacing in wet weather. Hemp laces do tend to break more often than other traditional lacing, making reties more frequent.
Be sure to check the Instructions menu for videos displaying different tying methods, tips, and more for all our lacing options. Or check out our YouTube channel.

The original structure was built possibly as early as the 4th century, but it was destroyed and rebuilt in the 11th century. Expansion and reconstruction have gone on ever since, making it difficult to date precisely any specific part of the church. The foundations of the Church can be seen from the courtyard of the Coptic Museum or through the glass panels interlaced with the wooden flooring. The façade is surrounded by its distinctive twin bell towers, and the whole front section is a relatively recent addition, dating only from the 19th century.
On the porch at the top of the staircase are stalls selling cassettes of Coptic liturgies and videos of papal sermons. There is a carved frieze of Christ flanked by angels just above the staircase leading to the inner courtyard of the church. You can see the earliest pieces of this frieze at the nearby Coptic Museum. The outer porch, dating back to the 11th century, is decorated with glazed tiles in geometrical designs. The Roman Towers belonged to the southwestern bastion of the original Roman fortress and date from around the 1st century.
The walls on the interior are adorned with icons of St. George, the Virgin and John the Baptist. It is ornately furnished with a marble pulpit that rests on 13 columns, representing Christ and His disciples, and the inlaid ivory screens that hide the three altar areas date from between 10th and 13th centuries. The Sanctuary Screen is carved from cedar wood and delicately inlaid with ivory, adorned with icons, and the central screen that shields the main altar is the finest of its kind in Egypt. Other notable features include the three barrel-vaulted, wooden-roofed aisles, supported on columns with Corinthian capitals, an indication that they were recycled from earlier buildings!
Despite its venerable name, the church is still used for regular public services, which are held every Friday and Sunday morning. Open Monday to Thursday and Saturday from 9am to 4pm. Friday from 8 to 11am and Sunday from 7 to 10am.
Part of the church interior was under restoration when I visited in Dec 2003.
From journal Phascinating Pharoahs
The main entrance, leading to the interesting Coptic Museum and the beautiful Hanging Church, is between two round Roman towers, against which the waters of the Nile once lapped before the river shifted its course to the west centuries ago. A second, stepped entrance to the north leads along a sunken alley to the rest of the churches, the synagogue, and the cemeteries. Standing within the compound are the Churches of St. Barbara, St. Sergius, St. George, and the most beautiful of all, the Hanging Church. There is also the Convent of St. George and the Ben Ezra Synagogue, with its Greek Orthodox Cemetery.
The Coptic Museum houses artifacts which trace the origins of Christian art in the Near East. The building itself is beautiful, especially the older, southern wing. There is also a garden and café (which was under restoration when I was there in Dec 2003). Hours are from 9am to 5pm daily and 9am to 3pm during Ramadan.
Long before the Crusaders carried tales of his legendary exploits back to Europe, St. George was venerated throughout the Christian Middle East as Mar Girgis. Famed for his dragon slaying feat, he is said to have been a Roman legionary who defied a decree by Emperor Diocletian outlawing the worship of Christ and was martyred for his beliefs some time in the 3rd century. There has been a church dedicated to St. George on this site since the 10th century, but today's striking round structure dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. The circular form of the church echoes the shape of the 1st century Roman gate tower on top of which it was built. The remains of the tower are still visible beneath the church on the north side. It is frequented by members of the local Christian community who regularly light the candles and say prayers here. Open to the public daily from 8am to 12:45pm and 2:30pm to 3:15pm.
The Hanging Church is ornately decorated on the inside and is definitely worth a visit. See my separate entry about this beautiful and unusual building.

Avon High School is closer to being designated as an American Red Cross regional shelter.
That means that American Red Cross staff would manage the shelter and reimburse the town for food and supplies used. People from area towns would be allowed to come to the shelter when it's open for emergency situation.
"Storm Sandy provided us with a very successful 'dry run,' as ARC came in the night before the storm and managed the shelter with local staff support," Avon Town Manager Brandon Robertson told the Town Council in his agenda packet notes for the Feb. 7 meeting.
Robertson addressed council members about the proposal them Thursday that he anticipates "executing this agreement shortly," according to his agenda packet notes. He said that staff members have concluded that becoming a regional shelter would be advantageous to Avon.
Town Council Chairman Mark Zacchio said that council members had questions about the capacity "in a major shelter opening," how it will affect Avon residents, any possible costs to Avon and whether other towns would still open their own emergency shelters.
Council members also asked what would happen if Avon needed to open the shelter but other town's weren't ready, people from other towns needed the Avon shelter because their town's shelter wasn't open, and who would be responsible for finding those people alternative places to go, according to Zacchio.
Town officials would still decide whether to open or close the shelter, according to Robertson.
Zacchio said there would be some benefits to Avon as an American Red Cross regional shelter, including the services of the organization's doctors and nurses.
"We asked that the town manager gets approval from the [Town Council] before executing any agreement at this point," Zacchio said.

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mi. (TV 20 News at Ten) ---David Fuehrer knows what its like to need a variety of medical options when facing medical issues.
So the testicular cancer survivor helped launch a company called "Cure Launch". The Bloomfield Hills company matches patients with clinical trials. The match-up service is free and most times the trials are free of charge as well. Its an option many people could consider when they feel they've run out of options.
Our Jorge Avellan interviewed David today and has his story.

Iris Folding Apple
Iris folding looks complicated, but is simpler that you think. It may not be right for the youngest crafter, but can be learned by pre teens and teenagers. Try this apple for a delicious fall card for a birthday or any occasion. This is also a great card to make for Rosh Hashana.
A piece of cardstock that is larger than the pattern
Different papers, each about 6 inches X 6 inches
Scissors or craft knife and cutting board
Scotch tape
Removable tape(masking tape or blue painter's tape)
Start folding your strips of paper in half, lengthwise. Decide which will be pattern/color A, which will be B, and which will be C. Place them in separate piles.
When taping down your pieces, make sure the tape only touches the card stock or your strips of paper. Do not tape anything to the apple pattern or your working surface(I used a plain white piece of paper). This is very important because later you will be removing the blue painter's tape(or masking tape) and lifting your finished designed from the pattern. You don't want to have it taped down to the white paper or pattern and you also don't want the tape to show on your finished design. New strips can either be taped to the card stock or to the previous strip.
Continue by adding your strips of paper according to the pattern guide, #8 will be pattern/color A, #9 will be pattern/color B, #10 will be pattern/color C and so on. Continue until you reach the center of the heart.
Next, the fun part! Remove the blue painter's tape, or masking tape, turn the piece of cardstock over and view your design!

Sheryl Sandberg's fortune surpassed $1 billion Tuesday after Facebook closed at a record.
The chief operating officer of the world's most popular social-networking service owns about 12.3 million shares of the Menlo Park, Calif.-based company, which closed at $58.51 in New York. Her stake is valued at about $750 million.
Sandberg has collected more than $300 million selling shares since the company's 2012 initial public offering, and owns about 4.7 million stock options that began vesting last May. The 44-year-old is one of the youngest female billionaires in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
"She was brought in to figure out how to make money," David Kirkpatrick, author of "The Facebook Effect," a history of the company, said in a telephone interview. "It's proving to be one of the greatest stories in business history."
Sandberg's rise in wealth mirrors her broadening role on the global stage. The Harvard graduate and one-time chief of staff for former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers is a donor to President Obama, sits on the board Walt Disney Co., and wrote the bestselling book "Lean In." She was lured from Mountain View, Calif.-based Google in 2008, and stepped down from the board of Starbucks in 2012.
"She went to Google, moved on to go to Facebook, went to write a book, and she'll know when to run for political office, and probably win that office," Kirkpatrick said.
Elisabeth Diana, a Facebook spokeswoman, declined to comment on Sandberg's net worth. The billionaire will attend the World Economic Forum's annual meeting this week in Davos, Switzerland.
Facebook probably had a "solid" fourth quarter with advertisement revenue around $100 million above consensus, Ross Sandler, an analyst at Deutsche Bank AG in New York, wrote in a research report Jan. 7.
"Engagement continues to increase broadly for FB, owing to the strong footprint in mobile," Sandler said in the report. He has a "buy" rating on the company.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, 29, sold more than $2 billion in stock last month and donated another $1 billion to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. The world's 23rd- richest person added $12.4 billion to his net worth in 2013, according to the Bloomberg ranking.
Facebook's other co-founders have also seen their fortunes surge. Dustin Moskovitz, the 29-year-old who founded Facebook with Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin and Chris Hughes at Harvard, is the world's 174th-richest person with a net worth of $7.4 billion. He's wealthier than Liberty Media chairman John Malone and fashion mogul Ralph Lauren, and is the youngest billionaire on Earth.
Saverin, 31, controls a $3.2 billion fortune. Hughes, 30, has a net worth of more than $500 million. He bought the New Republic magazine in March 2012.
Peter Thiel, Facebook's first outside investor, sold most of his stake in the company in August 2012, after restrictions on insider sales ended. The majority of the PayPal co- founder's $2.3 billion net worth is derived from his stake in software developer Palantir Technologies.
Facebook's Chief Financial Officer David Ebersman also sold stock. The former Genentech executive has collected almost $100 million selling shares in the past year, according to regulatory filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He owns more than 5 million shares, including stock options, valued at about $300 million.
Mike Schroepfer, the company's chief technology officer, has a stake valued at more than $100 million. The Mozilla and Sun Microsystems veteran has collected about $50 million selling Facebook stock.

Smartphones need kill switches. It's a relatively easy solution to the pricey (and irritating) problem of smartphone theft.

Columbus >Food & Dining > Trattoria Roma
1447 Grandview Ave, Columbus, OH | Directions 4321239.987328 -83.044725
Mon. - Fri. 11am - 2pm;Sat. 4pm - 11pm;Sun. 4am - 11pm
Neighborhoods: Grandview Heights
Love it!! – For the amount of food you get the prices are great. My fiance works at Spagio and they have the same prices but you get half the food then you do here at trattoria-roma. Their Salmon is to DIE For!! Their Tiramisù is the best I have ever had including Tiramisù from Italy. If you are looking for some good Italian food this is the place to go! Its just like being back in Italy, I have never had any problems with the service I think people are just too picky. People don't want to be bothered 100 times while they are eating and they don't do that here. Don't be afraid to ask for your server. They don't want to keep coming up and disturbing your conversation or your meals.
Absolutely dreadful experience – My experience here was an absolute nightmare. The waitress was polite and pleasant. Everything else was awful. Food was mediocre and terribly overpriced. Which I could get over, considering I had a gift certificate. Unfortunately, they refused to honor the gift certificate citing some ridiculous terms that were nowhere to be found on the certificate. When I pointed this out the idiot manager's only response was "well most of them say it on there". Terrible experience all around--this place is nowhere near good enough to overcome such pathetic customer service.
Very Poor Experience – Just tried Trattoria Roma yesterday (4/13/10) and although the waiter was good, the food was just OK and they did not honor a gift certificate like it said they would on the internet. Overall, as a frequent Italian restaurant diner, I have had better food elsewhere in Columbus and would not recommend Trattoria Roma.
Decent but overpriced – The calamari appetizer seemed like it was heated up out of a store-bought frozen bag, and the red sauce was nothing special (tomatoes seemed to be canned).
However, the mushroom, spinach and cream sauce was excellent. I would definitely get that the next time. The veal is also tender and very good.
Portion sizes were good. I could not finish the Osso Bucco.
The food was decent overall. However, since not enough seemed to be made from scratch, I found the menu to be overpriced.
Great restaurant to bring a date – My girlfriend and I just celebrated our one year anniversary and I wanted to take her somewhere romantic. This is the place. The service was outstanding and the food was just as good. I had the Pollo Devolo (pardon my atrocious spelling and I cant quite remember the name) and my girlfriend ordered the smoked salmon ravioli which was out of this world. They even put two little candles on our desert (if you like chocolate, the Pots de Creme is heavenly). They offer a great wine list and the servers are very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. One of my favorite romantic restaurants in Columbus so far!
excellent date spot – This is a great restaraunt to bring a date, it's romantic and has great atmosphere. The food is very good and I enjoy the relaxed feel. The last time I ate there it was my girlfriends 21st birthday and when we were ordering wine the waiter was nice and wished her happy birthday. After dinner they brought out 2 butterscotch shots, one with a strawberry and a candle on it. All without us asking for this! Excellent service, I would recommend going!
Great place for a date! – We just got back from dinner and had to give the experience 2 thumbs up! The outdoor atmosphere was very romantic with charming music in the background. Our service (by Jon) was superb. He was very knowledgable of the menu and helpful in giving reccomendations. We loved the crab cakes! Ask for Jon!
Great atmosphere, great food, great service – We live fairly close to the restaurant and go as often as we can. I've recommended this restaurant to many friends who have all been equally impressed. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu (although there are certain dishes I can't get away from because they're so delicious). The staff is always so friendly, and we leave full and happy! In the summer, the patio is a wonderful place to dine. It's located right on Grandview Ave., which is a great place to people watch. After dinner you can take a stroll down the avenue and go see a movie at the Drexel!
Not Impressed – I recently ate at this restaurant. My party and I had several questions about the menu and our server seemed kind of clueless about the answers. I ordered the wedding soup which came out with bits of fat floating on it, I tasted it and realized it was ice cold. So I sent it back and it came out piping hot. My main meal was the lasagna. It was excellent. My friends also like their meals but we thought it was overpriced. I think the lasagna at Villa Nova is just as good and 1/4 of the price. Our waitress came out with a stack of the covers for the bills. Then she stood there with a long strip of bills and tore them apart in front of us and put them in the covers. I just thought it was kind of tacky, like something they would do at Applebee's.
