If given the option of having children get a better education or a worse education, I believe everyone would pick a better education.
If given the option of having children get a better education or a worse education, I believe everyone would pick a better education.
That�s why I find it disappointing that Craven County Schools has decided against continuing the year-round calendar at Havelock Elementary, Arthur W. Edwards Elementary and Tucker Creek Middle schools for next year.
Superintendent Lane Mills, with the backing of the Craven County Board of Education, want what is called a modified school calendar in which classes would start in early August and end in late May, and semesters would be split at the Christmas holiday, the calendar the county used to use.
They tried to get it for the current academic year by getting a waiver from the General Assembly that would allow the county to trump state law that mandates the start of classes no earlier than Aug. 25. The 2004 law, which exempts year-round schools, came about because beach businesses and the tourism industry felt an early August start to school was hurting the economies of beach locations.
The system�s effort to get a waiver failed, so the county kept both the current traditional and year-round calendars for this year.
Mills has said the system would seek another waiver to get the county on the modified calendar for the 2014-15 school year. Based on this year, there�s no reason to think a waiver would pass next year. Mills has said if it fails, all county schools � except the two early colleges � would go to the traditional calendar.
School system officials have said that having the year-round, traditional and early college school calendars makes county-wide training and meetings of teachers and administrators difficult to achieve. They also say many in the Havelock area who have children on different school calendars want just one to better coordinate schedules and vacations.
Having a daughter who attended Tucker Creek four years ago, I can certainly understand the scheduling issues that can arise with the year-round calendar.
But, many parents who have children on the year-round calendar love it. They say their children are getting a better education and are more engaged in school because of the three-week breaks that are built into the academic year.
There is no doubt that the learning ability of children is not the same. Some pick up math better than English, while others thrive on English and struggle in math. It�s just the way we seem to be wired.
With that said, it should stand to reason that some children thrive with the year-round calendar, while others may struggle with it. For those who do well and excel academically on the year-round calendar, they should be able to have the option to stay on that calendar. Taking it away for the convenience of having a meeting simply doesn�t make sense.
The bottom line is that parents are losing their right to choose what they think is best for their children. Local school officials will say the 2004 state law mandating the start of school is forcing their hands, and I agree. Simply put, it�s a bad law that takes choice away from local officials.
Still, the top priority of Craven County Schools should be to educate children. For many, the best way to do that is on the year-round calendar. Now school system leaders may take away the option of what can be a true educational benefit for children and are failing to listen to parents � parents who obviously know what is best for their own children.
It sounds to me like these Craven County school system leaders need a little education of their own.

Understanding the paleontology of the Denver Basin is a major
on-going project by the Denver Musem of Nature & Science. We
collaborate with many local land owners, local
municipalities, conservation groups, and the Colorado Department of
Transportation to access fossil-rich sites along the Front Range.
Our work focuses on understanding the paleoclimate of Colorado, the
origin of rainforests, the extinction of plants at the KT boundary
and subsequent recovery, the evolution of modern forests, and the
uplift history of the Colorado Rockies.
Late Cretaceous floras are common the Western Interior Basin but
very few have been studied with modern techniques. With the
exception of a few basins on the eastern edge of the Rockies, there
exists a nearly complete literature gap for post-Cenomanian and
pre-Maastrichtian megafloras. The Grand Staircase-Escalante
National Monument (GSENM) in southern Utah has tremendous
unrealized potential for the study of Late Cretaceous vegetation.
Over the last two and a half years, our crew from the Denver Museum
has been working with Dr. Scott Sampson and his team from the Utah Natural
History Museum, Dr. Alan Titus from the BLM and Dr. Eric Roberts from the James Cook University
in Australia to find new megafloral sites in the Dakota, Wahweap,
Straight Cliffs and Kaiparowits Formations in the GSENM. Our
initial work in the Campanian Kaiparowits Formation has begun to
flesh out an exceptional vegetation to match the already
spectacular dinosaurian fauna from the same sequence.
The Wind River Basin Project is a new collaborative effort to
understand the response of terrestrial plants, animals, and their
interactions to the long-term global warming during the Early
Eocene. We are specifically asking whether the interactions between
animals and plants are effected by gradual temperature change,
whether the floral and faunal communities undergo coordinated
responses to climate change, and whether most of the terrestrial
ecosystem change occurs with long-term climate trends or abrupt
climate events. At DMNS, this project is led by Dr. Richard Stucky,
Dr. Bob Raynolds and me. We collaborate with Dr. Ellen Currano at the University of Miami,
Ohio; Dr. Henry Fricke, The Colorado College; Dr. Will
Clyde, University of New Hampshire; Dr. Amy Chew, Western University of Health
Sciences; Dr. Deborah Anderson, St. Norbert College; and
Dr. Sam Bowring, MIT.

January 22, 2013 08:00 ET
Company Has Also Entered Into Additional Capped Call Transactions in Connection With the Additional Notes
Company Has Also Entered Into Additional Capped Call Transactions in Connection With the Additional Notes
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Jan 22, 2013) - Theravance, Inc. (NASDAQ: THRX) (the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company with a pipeline of internally discovered product candidates and strategic collaborations with pharmaceutical companies, announced that the underwriters of its 2.125% convertible subordinated notes due 2023 (the "notes") have exercised in full their option to purchase an additional $37.5 million aggregate principal amount of the notes, for a total offering size of $287.5 million. The offering is scheduled to close on Thursday, January 24, 2013, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. BofA Merrill Lynch is acting as the sole book-running manager for the offering.
In connection with the underwriters' exercise of their option to purchase additional notes, the Company has also entered into privately-negotiated capped call option transactions with one or more of the underwriters or their affiliates ("hedge counterparties"). The Company has previously entered into capped call transactions with the hedge counterparties with respect to $250 million of the notes on the same terms.
The capped call options are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the notes in the event that the market price of the Company's common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the notes, and is expected to be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. However, if the market price of the Company's common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds $38.00 per share, which is the initial cap price of the capped call transactions, the anti-dilutive effect of the capped call transactions will be limited.
This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
The offering is being made pursuant to a registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 16, 2013 and including a final prospectus dated January 17, 2013 filed with the SEC on January 18, 2013. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and the other documents the issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the issuer and the offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the issuer, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request them by calling BofA Merrill Lynch at 866-500-5408. In addition, copies of the final prospectus may be obtained from BofA Merrill Lynch, 222 Broadway, New York, NY 10038, Attn: Prospectus Department, or email email@example.com.

The seaside community that inspired the name of Bruce Springsteen's first studio album, "Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.," is no stranger to adversity. There were the race riots in 1970 and a depressed local economy throughout the '80s, when lifelong residents say it felt like the world had forgotten their historic architecture and white beaches.
Interested in ?Add as an interest to stay up to date on the latest news, video, and analysis from ABC News.
Now, after Superstorm Sandy touched down in the longtime tourist destination a year ago today, some locals are hoping to say farewell to the hard times for good.
"When Sandy hit the main floor of Langosta Lounge, the frames of all of the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the ocean blew in," said Marilyn Schlossbach, a chef and restaurateur whose four properties inside of a beach pavilion along the Asbury Park boardwalk were shut down for months by the storm. "It carried everything inside: sand, water, glass, metal and wood. It was crazy."
A few doors down, The Silverball Pinball Museum's front-facing windows also fell, allowing inches of water to creep beneath the arcade machines, including a Baffle Ball that dates back to 1931.
"We were lucky in that none of the machines were destroyed, just the front of museum," manager Dan Toskaner said.
But outside, roughly 66,000 square feet of boardwalk sustained damage from the storm. And while local efforts to clean up were immediate, communication about what was open didn't always follow. So depending upon which business owner you speak to, 2013 was either the best or the worst summer ever.
"We were closed for six weeks, cleaning up and renovating the front," Toskaner said. "But even after that people assumed we were closed because it was unclear where on the beach you could go. Finally, by August things started to feel a little more normal but now we're back to the dark months."
Storied music halls like The Stone Pony set further back from the water only suffered minor damages to its outdoor deck, otherwise escaping Sandy unscathed. So the venue hosted myriad fundraisers for those who weren't as fortunate. Regular programming also proved profitable.
"Our summer stage had a phenomenal summer, a record-breaking season actually," Caroline O'Toole of the Stone Pony said. "We had two sold out shows by the Gaslight Anthem, The Dropkick Murphy's came and we had a throwback to the '90s show with Sugar Ray. A lot of people who came through here said it was out of support for what had happened during the storm."
For a time, Debbie DeLisa, manager at the Wonder Bar, dedicated the bar's interior to donations for animals displaced by Sandy.
"It was amazing, we received donations from all over the country," she said. "We had blankets and dog food piled from the floor to the ceiling."
And once the electricity was restored, DeLisa told ABC News, the renowned bar was busier this year from curious tourists who wanted to support local businesses that they remembered from their childhood.
"Asbury Park has a built-in kind of cool factor, so it attracts your itinerant musicians in their 20s as well as surfers and artists," said Dallas Hlatky of local hospitality group Smith, which operates a handful of hip restaurants and bars in the city.
At Porta, the group's popular pizzeria restaurant based in a warehouse, the once casual after-hours dance parties instantly became packed with night crawlers who were unable to revel at their regular clubs down the shore.
"There were lines outside night after night," she said. "I couldn't believe it."
Doug Volan, owner of a 2-year-old coffee shop in the downtown area, also reported seeing a lot of new faces this year.
"It was great, it felt like a very busy season," he said.
For chef and restaurateur Schlossbach, the road to victory took much longer, with the last of her four shuttered businesses, Pop's Garage, finally reopening two weeks ago.
Not long after, Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. announced that a $3.6 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency had been designated to repair damage sustained to the Asbury Park Boardwalk.
"There are pieces of wood and glass from the destroyed boardwalk and restaurants that have been reclaimed and repurposed throughout the new spaces," Schlossbach said. "I thought it would be positive to try to take what happened and create something for the future."
She planned to host a bonfire outside the front of Langosta Lounge tonight as part of a "Sandy Release Party" to let go of all of the hardships of the past year.
"Sometimes, it was very hard to just get out of bed and deal with all of this," she said. "People can be very out of sight, out of mind. But if you focus on that, it just crushes you.
"And at the end of the day, I couldn't picture working this hard anywhere else where I wouldn't have a view of the ocean like I do here."

130 West Tenth StreetManhattan > Greenwich Village > West 10th Street
Perhaps artist Birney Lettick [1919-1986] was seeking a run-down brownstone or any roof-line low enough to show a blue sky spiked by Jefferson Market's whimsical towers. When he selected this grouping (slightly west of Greenwich Avenue), Lettick was generous with his pen, widening a skinny 3-story townhouse and adding height to a one-story taxpayer.
• • The hilariously bohemian scene that tempted moviegoers to see Paul Mazursky's "Next Stop, Greenwich Village" [1976] featured a crowded Village Cafe, artists, beatniks, lovers, loners, dancers, and loafers. The character on the lowest step of the stoop - - closest to the fire hydrant - - would be played by a 33-year-old actor Christopher Walken. On the movie poster, the rowhouse is numbered 25 but it is, in fact, 130 West Tenth Street [3 stories] and its neighbor 128-A West Tenth [1 story]. Not shown is the solid firehouse next door, an 1892 structure that quarters Squad 18's firefighters.
• • Birney Lettick was similarly flattering instead of realistic when he painted the portraits of Ayatollah Khomeini and Ronald Reagan for Time Magazine. His illustrations also appeared on the covers of National Geographic, Collier's, Reader's Digest, and many bestsellers.
• • The address attracted its share of notoriety in the 1880s when it was the location of various suicides and batterings. In 1885, Samuel H. Hoole walloped Mary E. Weston, who resided here, knocking out five of her teeth; Hoole was arraigned in Jefferson Market Police Court across the street for his brutishness.
• • For many years, investor Edward Swan owned 130 West Tenth Street and leased his skinny building to tenants who were either too deaf to mind sirens or who weren't fussy.
• • In 1943, former ice skater Alan E. Murray [1894-1976] leased the one-story hovel at 128 West Tenth, where he began to re-invent footwear.
• • On 7 February 1947, Murray bought the adjoining 3-story dwelling from Swan's estate. By then the inventor was knee-deep in patents for his Space Shoe, suspenders that fastened around the neck, ski boots, and what-not. Early on, celebrity clients were attracted by the curious customized and sculpted oxfords that Murray began pedalling in 1937. Danny Kaye bought several pairs and so did Lillian Gish, Arthur Godfrey, Steve McQueen, and the wife of the Soviet Ambassador to Washington.
• • By 1955, when Murray was minting millions, he was manufacturing his orthopedic "sole food" out of the old Helen Gould stable on 213 West 58th Street, where he also maintained a private ice rink. At some point, Murray painted his name around the Tenth Street doorway, a passage no longer afflicted with the odor of Neoprene and latex like Murray's uptown workshop.
• • In 1968 the Space Shoe went trendy, inspired maybe by the 74-year-old inventor's frisky blonde mistress Anna V. Schloegl, who pried Alan Murray away from his dependence on marital fidelity. Nevertheless, his wife Mrs. Lucille Marsh Murray, whose bloodline included two signers of the Declaration of Independence, refused to divorce him. Alan and Anna did not wed until 1976, when death dissolved Murray's previous marriage.
• • After 81-year-old Alan E. Murray passed on to the great shoe closet in the sky on 24 October 1978, the building acquired a basement full of fortunetellers. Though West Tenth Street's gypsy astrologer Pat Alvarez was arrested for fraud by police in 1999, as part of a crackdown on Tarot card readers and schemers in the Metro area, there is still a psychic in the cellar. Clearly, Murray left his sign and sole visible to seers and sight-seers.
• • Last year Michael and Isaac Namer anounced they would incorporate 130 West Tenth Street into their through-block condominium project, which also pulled in a brick stable designed by Charles Wright in 1874. Apartments will sell for $2,750,000 - $5,975,000. If you have longed to live next door to an active firehouse, where alarms are responded to 24/7, contact a mortgage broker immediately.

Newark-based Prudential Financial led a group of eight New Jersey companies that made the "Working Mother" magazine's 100 best companies list, it was announced today.
Prudential ranked No. 10 overall on the list.
"Prudential's commitment to our employees and their families has stood the test of time, and being acknowledged by 'Working Mother' magazine is a wonderful testament to that," Maureen Corcoran, vice president of life, health and inclusion at Prudential, said in a statement. "We are thrilled to be a top 10 company for working mothers,"
Bayer, Horizon Healthcare Services, Johnson & Johnson, Prudential Financial, Merck, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Rothstein Kass and Unilever all made the cut, scoring high marks for a variety of benefits.
"Horizon is honored to once again to be recognized as one of the best companies for working mothers," said Alison Banks-Moore, Chief Diversity Officer, Horizon BCBSNJ. "Horizon is committed to offering workplace programs that help parents maintain a healthy balance between home and work."
Companies had to apply to be considered for the list. That application included more than 550 questions. This year, those questions focused heavily on flexible work schedules, women's advancement programs and paid maternity leave.
Here's a snapshot of why these eight New Jersey companies earned a spot on the list:
Bayer: The Hanover-based company scored high marks for its mentorship programs, recently increasing the number of peer-coaching groups available to female employees.
Horizon Healthcare Services: Horizon recognizes the importance of offering our working parents the flexibility they need to maintain a healthy balance between responsibilities at work and home," Alison Banks-Moore, Chief Diversity Officer, Horizon BCBSNJ, said. "Attracting the best talent means offering progressive work arrangements that help our employees succeed as both professionals and parents. Being a family-friendly company fosters a culture in which our workers can achieve, thrive and excel.
Johnson & Johnson: The New Brunswick company is flush with family-friendly programs, including access to free consultations with experts to discuss issues such as education for kids with special needs.
Merck: This pharmaceutical giant, based in Whitehouse Station, had a whole list of plusses for working moms, including three to six weeks of paid vacation every year.
Prudential Financial: New moms at Prudential, based in Newark, can take up to 26 job-guaranteed weeks off, with nine partially paid.

Failure to watch these things and your amino acid balance will lead to sickness sooner or later... The only benefit from cutting out meat from your diet is a reduction in saturated fat and cholesterol, but that is only from non-healthy meat.... that other meat is extremly important & healthy for your entire body...

FRIDAY, MARCH 22ND is the last day to sign up to take a second eight week class pass/fail.
If you are interested in taking a class
pass/fail, please stop by my office (in the CMCL building at 800 E. 3rd Street,
room 259) so we can complete the required paperwork.
Here is some
information about the pass/fail option from the College of Arts and Sciences
Bulletin (http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/college/2012-2013/policies/academic-policies/pass-fail.shtml):
"During their undergraduate program, students in good standing (not on
probation) may enroll in a maximum of eight elective courses to be taken with a
grade of P (Pass) or F (Fail). The Pass/Fail option is available for a maximum
of two courses per academic year, including summer sessions. For the Pass/Fail
option, the academic year is defined as beginning with the start of the fall
semester and ending with the end of the second summer session. The course
selected for Pass/Fail must be an elective (i.e., it cannot fulfill requirements
other than the minimum 122 hours required for the degree, but it can be used to
meet the requirement for courses at the 300–400 level). It may not be used to
satisfy any of the College of Arts and Sciences Foundations, Intensive Writing,
Foreign Language, Breadth of Inquiry, Culture Studies, or Critical Approaches to
the Arts and Sciences requirements. Nor may it be counted as a part of the
student's concentration area, minor, or certificate program. During the freshman
year, students may elect to take activity courses in the School of Health,
Physical Education, and Recreation on a Pass/Fail basis in addition to the two
other permitted courses."

Trooper charged in road fatality
He's suspended after being charged with leaving scene of a fatal accident
An off-duty state trooper was charged Tuesday evening with leaving the scene of a fatal accident after police said he drove over a Fulton County man on Sunday and left the scene.
Brian Beardsley pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in Broadalbin Town Court before Judge Joseph Gilston.
Fulton County Sheriff Thomas J. Lorey said police believe the dead man, Chad E. Finch, 29, of South Shore Road in the town of Providence, was alive when Beardsley's car struck him.
After the court appearance, Beardsley's attorney, Ron Schur, said, "We're very sorry for the family, but things aren't always what they seem." Schur said they believe Finch was already dead on the ground when the vehicle struck him.
Beardsley "was probably not at fault because the victim was lying down on a dark road at the time of the accident," Lorey said, "but he did leave after hitting him."
"Because he is law enforcement, he is held to a higher standard. He should have known better than to leave the scene," he said.
Finch's brother, Vincent Finch, also questioned the trooper's actions. "I want to know why (Beardsley) didn't stay at the scene," Vincent Finch said. "He might not have been on active duty, but he still should have stayed. I mean, he's a cop!"
The sheriff's office said Beardsley did not remain on the scene after his girlfriend called police at 2:41 a.m. Sunday to report a person, later identified as Finch, in the middle of the southbound lane of County Highway 110.
Investigators went to Beardsley's Locust Avenue home in Amsterdam to inspect his vehicle two hours after the incident and determined Beardsley's Nissan pickup, his personal vehicle, had driven over Finch's body.
Beardsley was on his way home after spending the evening with friends at a private residence, the sheriff said. He underwent alcohol prescreening when deputies arrived at his home, and Lorey said they have no reason to believe he had been drinking.
They did not immediately arrest Beardsley Sunday because of the possibility that multiple vehicles were involved, but authorities later ruled that out. Beardsley subsequently turned himself in on Tuesday.
Police believe Finch was on his way home from a local restaurant.
More Information
Lorey said a preliminary test showed Finch was "definitely intoxicated," with a blood alcohol content of at least 0.20 percent. Further toxicology results will not be available for at least eight weeks.
Vincent Finch told the Times Union his brother was walking home from Kristel's Lodge, a bar about two miles away from Chad Finch's South Shore Road home.
"His best friend played music there and he would always invite us and everyone else he knew to come watch," Vincent Finch said.
"My brother was a good man," Finch said. "He made more friends than he made enemies."
Finch said his brother had not driven since he was released from state prison in 2006. Chad Finch began serving a two-year sentence in 2004 after his third driving-while-intoxicated offense in four years. Chad Finch struck a 14-year-old girl riding her bike while driving drunk in 2000. An 11-year-old child was injured in the 2004 crash that resulted in Finch's incarceration.
"He made it a point not to get behind the wheel anymore," Vincent Finch said.
He said the family is devastated by his brother's death and desperately searching for answers. Finch was the father of a 9-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl.
According to his brother, Chad Finch had been through hard times before his incarceration, but began to turn his life around when their father died shortly after Chad began serving his sentence.
"He went to the service in an orange jump suit and shackles," Vincent Finch said. "He only was able to stay for 15 minutes. He was embarrassed and angry at himself. That's when I started to notice a change."
Vincent Finch said Chad, a graduate of Broadalbin-Perth High School, earned a degree in small engine repair while serving his sentence at Bare Hill Correctional Facility in Franklin County.
With his father dead and their mother living alone, Chad Finch moved in with their mother when he was released from prison.
"He stepped up and took care of her," Vincent Finch said. "He looked out for people over himself."
Chad Finch was an avid outdoorsman, and he and his brother spent many summer afternoons fishing at Sacandaga Lake. "He was a good brother and a good person to be around," Vincent Finch said. "I just wish I could have spent more time with him." The investigation revealed Finch made a cellphone call at 1 a.m. Investigators believe he was still alive but lying down when he was hit around 2 a.m.
The call from Beardsley's girlfriend did not come in until about 45 minutes later.
The cause of death was multiple trauma to the entire body that killed him instantly, according to the autopsy.
Earlier Tuesday, Beardsley, who is based in the Mayfield barracks, was suspended without pay from the State Police.
"Whenever any one of our members are involved in a fatal crash, we automatically have to trigger an internal investigation," State Police spokeswoman Maureen Tuffey said.
The judge set bail at $10,000, secured by a $1,000 cash bond, and adjourned the case until June 23.
Beardsley's case will be presented to a grand jury. He faces up to seven years in prison if he is found guilty of the Class D felony.

A plague-infected squirrel has closed the Table Mountain Campgrounds of Angeles National Forest in California for at least a week, according to Los Angeles health officials.
The squirrel, trapped July 16, tested positive for the infection on Tuesday, prompting a public health advisory. The campground will remain closed while investigators test other squirrels in the area and dust for infected fleas.
"Plague is a bacterial infection that can be transmitted to humans through the bites of infected fleas, which is why we close affected campgrounds and recreational areas as a precaution while preventive measures are taken to control the flea population," L.A. County health officer Dr. Jonathan Fielding said in a statement.
Plague is caused by Yersinia pestis, and although it wiped out more than half the European population in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report an average of seven human cases per year in the U.S.
Modern plague cases typically appear in the rural West, and plague has been known to reside in the San Gabriel Mountains ground squirrel population.
Plague transmission through flea bites causes bubonic plague, with symptoms including rapid onset of fever and chills and enlarged lymph glands near the bite. Untreated bubonic plague can progress to infection of the blood or lungs, causing pneumonic plague. All forms of the plague can be fatal if left untreated.

Twitter is getting some hype lately. The fun part of the hype is that it lacks any real explanation of what twitter is about, and generally any real understanding. So I'm going to help out by offering some examples of how twitter can positively impact your life, and not just by getting endless tweets sent to your phone or browser.
Twitter for sports teams
This one is for the soccer moms and team managers. Let's say you're showing up to a game only to find that there's another sport happening, or no goal posts, or a vast hole in the ground. It happens. In pre-Twitter America, you would need to find a new field, and then assign somebody to wait around until everyone else shows up…because even with a call list somebody doesn't have their phone and they are running late. And calling everyone on a call list is a hassle.
Enter Twitter. Create a twitter account for your team. Have everyone follow it (players and soccer moms). Send your message: "Game moved to Washington Elementary. June, don't forget oranges slices." Simple. Done.
Twitter in Education
I've had a few conversations about kids, education, and the new technologies. Latest was last night with a teacher friend. We were chatting about parent conferences, and the impact of them. One of the pain points was in communication around homework. The student insists that they don't have any homework (untruth). The parent finds out about the problem at the conference when the grade has already suffered.
Again twitter is your friend. Create a twitter account as the teacher. Share the account to students and parents and ask them to follow you. This account is only for classroom-related information. For each class, simply tweet the assignment after the bell. Announce field trips, class news, awards, whatever.

NZXT Sentry LX Fan Controller Review
Each and every computer needs to be adequately cooled. There exist many ways of doing this, but most of them are cooled using air, which is powered by fans. However, if the fans are not adequately controlled, this cooling method can be quite noisy, or not perform as well as it could, because quiet operation does not always go together with performance. Moreover, you need a way to watch your computer temperatures, especially if you are an overclocker, as they can become fatal to your hardware.
This is why a fan controller and temperature probes are a must. These will allow you to watch your computer temperatures carefully, in addition to having absolute control over the cooling system. A device that combines all these functions is the Sentry LX, an aluminum high performance fan controller made by NZXT. This is the second version of the Sentry, since the first one was released in 2007; its review can be found here. The new one features five temperature probes and can control up to five fans, automatically or manually. The control unit is inserted into two adjacent empty drive bays, and shows all the information on a LCD screen. So, let's go see how the Sentry LX compares to its predecessor.
Closer look:
The Sentry LX is packaged in a simple yet attractive cardboard box. Naturally, there is a picture of it on the front, on a white background. On the back, the detailed specifications can be read. NZXT also tells us that the Sentry LX has an LCD display with an intuitive interface, and that it is easy to use and install. We'll see if it's true.
The unit is hung right in the middle of the box by two foam blocks, one on each side. It is wrapped in a plastic bag; however, it's not an anti-static one. The accessories can be found in a separate bag, which we will see in the next few pictures.
Obviously, there is a user's manual supplied. You also get a 3v lithium battery, two spare temperature probes with their wires, and a few orange stickers. You'll ask what those are for, huh? Well, I wondered myself for a long time; there is nothing said in the manual about them. I finally discovered that these are the plastic stickers for the temperature probes.

Colebrook woman fails Accelerated Rehabilitation, will now face trial
Bantam >> A Colebrook resident is heading to trial after failing out of court ordered Accelerated Rehabilitation.
Alyssa Bascetta, 22, 22 Eno Hill Road, case was continued to Nov. 19 after appearing in Bantam Superior Court Monday for failing out of Accelerated Rehab. The rehab failure is in addition to her crimes, committed this past January of third-degree larceny, two counts of sixth-degree larceny, and second-degree making a false statement.
After appearing in Bantam Court she was ordered to take mandatory drug testing every other day including the day of court. Her mandatory drug testing is to continue until her next scheduled court date on Nov. 19.
According to police reports, Bascetta was originally arrested after her and two others made a false report to New Hartford Police that someone stole their jewelry. However, Bascetta was arrested for the actual theft. Bascetta allegedly told police she stole the jewelry to pay for her drug addiction, which forced her to enter drug treatment.
According to the affidavit, Bascetta applied for Accelerated Rehabilitation June 1 and was later granted two years of rehab on July 20 continued to July 18, 2014. While in rehab, her conditions were to be monitored throughout probation, make restitution, seek treatment, school or full time employment or 20 hours of community service as well as receive evaluations and treatment as deemed appropriate. After completing the program, Bascetta was then referred to Midwestern Connecticut Council of Alcoholism for aftercare, where she completed an outpatient evaluation on Sept. 9. According to police documents, after she completed treatment at MCAA, she was referred to a relapse and prevention group where she later relapsed with heroin and cocaine.
After her relapse, she was referred to a different program which she was more engaged with, however, again allegedly tested positive for opiates and cocaine. This time, Bascetta was referred to an inpatient rehabilitation program in Hartford, Oct. 15, after being pulled over in Danbury and police discovering drug paraphernalia. However, Bascetta told Danbury police she was getting kicked out of her home, and was transported to Virginia Wells housing program in New Haven on Oct. 17. Once there, Bascetta's mother contacted probation saying she was living in a sober house, but after police searched the house they discovered that was not true, according to police documents. While in Hartford, Bascetta admitted she lied about not using heroin since Oct. 9 and was kicked out of the program Oct. 19 and told her probation officer she was entering detox again at MCAA. However, on Oct. 22 she was notified by probation that she did not comply with the program, and was kicked out all together.

Newcastle United have appeared for many years in the Pro Evolution Soccer series, mostly under the fake name of Tyneside.

They appeared as an unlicensed team named Newcastle.

They appeared as an unlicensed team named Highlands.
[edit] PES 3 - 6
They appeared as an unlicensed team named Tyneside.
[edit] PES 2008
In Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, they appeared as a licensed team alongside Tottenham Hotspur. The north-east side play their football at St. James' Park but the stadium is no longer in the game, although in previous games the stadium has been in the game under the name of Magpie Park. Newcastle along with Tottenham Hotspur were the licensed English teams in PES 2008 (later to be replaced by Manchester United and Liverpool in PES 2009).
[edit] PES 2009
Appearing as an unlicensed team named Tyneside, the team have many international stars that consist of Geremi, Obafemi Martins, Fabricio Coloccini and Damien Duff just to name a few. In contrast to their real-life fortunes in the 2008/09 season, in this edition Newcastle are known for their quality attacking play. Martins possesses blistering pace and deadly goal scoring ability, making him a striker wanted by all. Damien Duff also plays a huge role in Newcastle's attacks; his acceleration and pace create a difficult task for defenders when chasing him down the wing. Although the former Chelsea man is slowly losing his feet, he can still put in impressive performances. Goal poacher Michael Owen develops prodigiously, and the Magpies have two formidable prospects in Wesley Ngo Baheng and Kazenga LuaLua who if given time turn out to be quality players.
[edit] PES 2010
Having been relegated to the Championship they did not appear in PES 2010.

It opens like a sex romp, San Diego Ballet's new three-act piece by choreographer Javier Velasco, set to guitar concertos by Joaquín Rodrigo.
A nobleman's servant, played by veteran dancer Maxim Tchernychev, gets manhandled by the lady of the house (Rachel Sebastian Hagquist). Then her daughter (Arielle Meads) seduces him. Then he is willingly and splendidly ravished by both women simultaneously.
And when he's not lavishing attention on each ballerina — lifting them, embracing them, letting one ride him on all fours like a horse — they carry on with classical steps. At one point, the daughter turns in place, standing on one leg in a chair, executing a tour de promenade.
After the three tire of sensuous balletic moves and are spent, in comes the nobleman-husband (Matt Carney). A leaping dance-scuffle ensues. The wife is reclaimed, dragged off by her armpits. The servant chucks the daughter in the air (she's caught by her father), as he makes his escape.
Gypsies, sea nymphs, toylike geishas, angry sailors and a redemptive love await him.
Leave it to San Diego Ballet to do the tawdry tale of "Don Juan" for Valentine's weekend.
Founded in 1989 by Velasco and co-director Robin Sherertz Morgan, the small company gleefully embraces the unconventional. They're known for dipping a toe into the contemporary dance idiom (see their "Mambomania") and for not ranking their dancers officially as principals, soloists or corps de ballet.
The most atypical feature of this "Don Juan"?
It was custom-made for its 42-year-old lead, Tchernychev. The square-faced, blond Steve McQueen look-alike joined San Diego Ballet in 2010. Nearly two decades ago he danced with Moscow's famed and powerfully athletic Bolshoi Ballet.
"Max (Tchernychev) is a mature Don Juan," Velasco said at a cafe one January evening, in a break from rehearsals, wearing a dominatrix-themed hoodie inscribed with "The Nutcracker."
"The mature dancer has history, technique at (his) command, is relaxed and ready to be an artist as opposed to just being an athlete," added the dance maker.
"I chose this specifically because Max was working with the company. We had premiered a production of 'Romeo and Juliet' years ago, and he ended up doing the Romeo part. He was very good, but I would watch him and think, 'He's wasted in this part.' Romeo is 16 and he's headstrong. He falls in love with Juliet, and three days later, he's dead. It would be nice if Max as an artist could play a character with more color."
Don Juan is a centuries-old, fictional womanizer immortalized in a comic opera by Mozart ("Don Giovanni") and a play by Molière ("Dom Juan"). But Velasco is using an epic, rambling poem by Lord Byron for his source material. Byron's 16-canto "Don Juan" reads like someone gossiping in rhymes about an attractive guy who gets into scrapes and sexual escapades. This Don Juan conceit justifies having the ballet's male lead dancing duets, trios and ensembles with a seemingly never-ending supply of pretty women.
Rehearsals revealed a ballet with the framework of a traveling show: There are segments with balletic traces of "Giselle," others with hints of high-energy dance numbers you'd see in a musical. (Which is why Velasco has been likened to the ballet and Broadway great Jerome Robbins.)
And this "Don Juan" has a bit of bravura for ballet die-hards.
An earnest lover haunts Don Juan throughout the 90-minute ballet, played by the captivating, pixie-like ballerina Stephanie Maiorano. One early pas de deux, "the center of meaning in most ballets" it's been said, has Tchernychev lift her with one hand. She slowly ascends as if filled with helium. After her pointed toes touch the ground, they entwine in a series of terribly romantic poses, including one PG move with her leg over his shoulder.
To say this is San Diego Ballet's first evening-length ballet is a bit misleading. Four years ago, Velasco's "Romeo and Juliet" was 85 minutes, albeit without an intermission. "Don Juan" has two intermissions.
Beyond sounding more grandiose, what's the draw of an evening-length ballet?
After rehearsing the bawdy mother-daughter opener, Tchernychev shared his thoughts.
"The audience can have a break and try to analyze what just happened and what will happen next. Their imagination starts to work.
"And for a dancer, it's more interesting to develop the character."
San Diego Ballet's "Don Juan" epic will debut on Valentine's Day and close Sunday afternoon.

Black visited killer he portrays in new movie in prison
The School of Rock star tackles dark drama in the new Richard Linklater film - about a Texas funeral director who murdered a wealthy widow - and he met the man he plays, Bernie Tiede, behind bars at an East Texas penitentiary.
Director Linklater feared Black would not consider a prison trip, but he was more than happy to sit opposite the man he was about to portray.
Black tells Nylon magazine, "I was a little nervous about it (meeting). You don't really wanna go to a maximum-security prison.
"(There were) tons of security checks, and the guards are just as severe as some of the inmates. Everyone's sort of on edge... There's a palpable danger in the air. But I had a lot of fans in there."
The star reveals inmates helped him relax by calling him Nacho, after his character in 2006 comedy Nacho Libre.
But that still didn't prepare him for his meeting with Tiede: "The pressure of playing a real person kind of came crashing down on me when I met him. I was like, 'Oh, Jesus, what if I don't do it right?'"
The experience made him a fan of the man he's playing in Bernie and now he's hoping the film will speed up Tiede's release - after learning all about the abuse the once-beloved funeral director allegedly experienced at the hands of his eventual victim, Marjorie Nugent.
Black adds, "It's a heinous crime and the guy definitely deserved to do time, but not all murderers are created equal, and he (Tiede) should be given some credit for all the good things he's done.
"There's precedent for films in the past that have helped people get out, but you worry at the time you're making the film: 'Wait, if we don't present the film properly, will it actually hurt his chances of getting out?'"
Tiede, who was a valued member of the Carthage, Texas community when he shot and killed Nugent in 1996, was sentenced to life imprisonment for her murder.

Paul Thurrot has a number of rumours up about Windows Phone 8.1. Two stand out to me.
Where GDR3 is widely expected to support 5- to 6-inch screens, 8.1 will supposedly support 7- to 10-inch screens as well. This obviously infringes on Windows RT/8.x tablets, so it's not clear what the thinking is there.
So, Windows RT will become even more pointless than it already is.
This I am not happy with. The back button is my main navigational input in both Android and Windows Phone, and I miss it dearly in iOS.
I'm just hoping on performance improvements, still my biggest issue with Windows Phone. I used my HTC 8X for a few hours today, and I was stunned by just how slow everything is compared to Android 4.3. Of course, application quality is another huge issue, but there's little Microsoft can do to convince developers that their Windows Phone applications are more than just side projects done between serious work on Android and iOS.

We built LazyMeter to change the way people feel about work, and we were thrilled by the way tens of thousands of people responded to its' launch. We sincerely thank you for being a part of LazyMeter's story, and while we're sorry we couldn't develop our full vision, we hope we at least demonstrated the potential for new approaches to the to-do list problem.
As we continue to wait for a to-do list that naturally fits into our lives, there are many options you can use to keep yourself organized. Our favorite is Wunderlist.

Alot of the time, i post photos on this site, without telling you what they are, and where they took place… i thought i'd better change this, and give a brief description of some of these photos (maybe continue at a later date with some of the others).
Photo taken around 1.30pm (16th october,1957) whilst driving on Highway 54 (south of Alamogordo, New Mexico); photo taken by Ella Fortune. It was near the Holloman Air Force Base, and close to the site of the first atomic explosion (in 1945). There is much debate as to what this is…. some say it is a lenticular cloud (although this is disputed, due to the fact, that it reflects too much light to be a cloud), others a balloon; however, as far as i'm aware, its origin has not been established. The UFO was hovering motionless.
Interestingly, Captain Ray Bowyer, from the recent channel Island sighting 2007, suggested that he saw something similar to this photo. This can be seen from the "Richard and Judy show".Someone has very kindly posted it on you tube and it can be seen below….lasts around 6 mins.
In july 1952, there was a major wave of sightings over Washington DC: this photograph looks like it is capturing the formation of lights hovering over the capital building.
However, with further inspection, it shows flare from street lamps, the source being from the bottom of the photo, boucing internally off the camera lens.
25th febuary, 1942, ufos were reported over Los Angeles, California. The sightings were linked to a japanese invasion that never happened, but as can be seen here, gunfire (for over an hour) was fired at the objects? (this was only weeks after the japanese attack on Pearl habour, and therfore the western coast was on war alert).
Searchlights are evident in this photo, no ufos were shot down, and 3 people were accidentally killed. Witnesses reported seeing a large dark object, that went down the coast to Santa Monica.
The famous Foo fighter photograph from the second world war: It shows 2 UFOs either side of japanese fighter planes, and the photo is believed to be dated to 1942 ,and photographed in the pacific (although this is not certain).
The word foo fighter, was created after American pilots, used the catch phrase of the then popular cartoon character smokey stover, "where there's foo there's fire".
A US coastguard official, took this photo of a formation of UFOs from Salem, (16th July, 1952). It was found out at a later date, that they were simply internal lights reflecting on the window of his office.
On 5th june, 1977, this photo, part of a series of 3, was taken by Monsieur Muyldermans, an amateur photographer (the label above says unknown, but i have recently located the source).
He claims to have seen a disc-shaped object from his car nearby Namur in Belgium. Analysis could not disprove this photo as a hoax at that time.
This photograph was captured by a passenger, in a vehicle around Puebla, Mexico (8th december, 1992), whilst there was a ufo sightings wave.

Source: Didiher Chacón, director of the South Caribbean Marine Turtle Conservation Program - Widecast.
The refuge is located in the southern Caribbean coast of the country, in the Talamanca county of Limón province. Gandoca beach is located within the Refuge and is an important nesting site for the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) and to a lesser degree, for green turtles (Chelonia mydas) and hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata).
The refuge also has a great diversity of ecological areas from beautiful beaches to the important mangroves of the Gandoca Lagoon. Ecotourism management at this site has improved greatly the economy of the community through the great help of Widecast and its conservation efforts in Gandoca.
¿How to get there?
To reach Gandoca you must take a bus from San José to Sixaola (the trip takes approximately 7 hours) at "Los Caribeños" bus station (located in San José at the eastern side of the Children's Museum). It's approximately 12 km from Sixaola to Gandoca and the trip must be made by taxi.
Planning the visit
To see the leatherback turtles spawn in Gandoca the best time is during the months of February through September, and the season peak is in April and May. Upon arrival to the place, you may go to the Widecast research station where you may find a volunteer coordinator and register for the tour, in which a lecture is given and then there's a walk on the beach to observe a complete nesting process of the turtles. It is also possible to communicate with Claudio Quesada beforehand to coordinate the visit (by email at email@example.com) or by phone at number 2241-7431.
Food and lodging
There are cabins in the locality but you may also camp. There are some restaurants, mainly of the local people. Local communities are dedicated to ecotourism and the protection of their biodiversity. For more information on other sites you may visit webpages http://www.hotels.co.cr/ or http://www.govisitcostarica.com/.
¿Volunteer work?
To perform volunteer work for the conservation and protection of marine turtles in Gandoca, you may visit www.latinamericanseaturtles.org or communicate directly with coordinator Claudio Quesada in charge of the volunteer programs, by email at email@example.com . Volunteers usually lodge at local homes or at the camp site, thus contributing to the local economy.

There is external evidence for God, at least the Christian God. I suppose the primary source would be the Bible which is historically accurate and bibliographically accurate. But if you don't like that history book, then history has recorded lots of events that mention miracles and God's people and their history. Then there's the creation around us. And the records of Jesus' life and his claims to be God.
It has some historical accuracy, true. But, so does the Koran. Buddhist scripture also has many historically accurate records concerning Siddhartha.

"For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them." Galatians 3:10
Suggested Further Reading: Matthew 25:31-46
Suddenly a voice is heard, and shrieks from some, and songs from others—he comes—he comes—he comes; and every eye must see him. There he is; the throne is set upon a cloud, which is white as alabaster. There he sits. It is He, the Man that died on Calvary—I see his pierced hands—but ah, how changed! No thorn crown now. He stood at Pilate's bar, but now the whole earth must stand at his bar. But listen! The trumpet sounds again: the Judge opens the book, there is silence in heaven, a solemn silence: the universe is still. "Gather mine elect together, and my redeemed from the four winds of heaven." Swiftly they are gathered. As with a lightning flash, the angel's wing divides the crowd. Here are the righteous all in-gathered; and sinner, there are you, on the left hand, left out, left to abide the burning sentence of eternal wrath. Listen! The harps of heaven play sweet melodies; but to you they bring no joy, though the angels are repeating the Saviour's welcome to his saints. "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." You have had that moment's respite, and now his face is gathering clouds of wrath, the thunder is on his brow; he looks on you that have despised him, you that scoffed his grace, that scorned his mercy, you that broke his Sabbath, you that mocked his cross, you that would not have him to reign over you; and with a voice louder than ten thousand thunders, he cries, "Depart, ye cursed." And then—No, I will not follow you. I will not tell of quenchless flames: I will not talk of miseries for the body, and tortures for the spirit. But hell is terrible; damnation is doleful. Oh, escape! escape!
For meditation: Any one of your sins would send you to hell (James 2:10). No one but Jesus can divert you to heaven (Acts 4:12). Make sure you are trusting in him alone for your salvation.

Leanna Rich, Lions Club district governor, was the guest of the Stuttgart Lions Club last week to present Watkins a check for $75 and encourage him to further his skills in his artistic endeavors.
Stephen Watkins, a home school student and the son of Phillip and Marsha Watkins of Stuttgart, was recognized as the Lions Club district runner-up in the group's annual Peace Poster Contest.
Leanna Rich, Lions Club district governor, was the guest of the Stuttgart Lions Club last week to present Watkins a check for $75 and encourage him to further his skills in his artistic endeavors.
"This is the neatest drawing," Rich said. "It has the flags of all countries all over the world."
Rich said the Peace Poster Contest is closely associated to the students, as is the Leo Club, which introduces students to service within the community, and is open to students in all high schools across the United States.
"I am excited about winning the contest," Wakins, who has been drawing since the age of 6, said. "This was the best way I could promote world peace."
Watkins was the local winner and was recognized along with the second- and third-place finishers at a special program earlier in the year.
Chuck Law, director of the Arts Center of the Grand Prairie and the local sponsor of the club's contest, said he is very proud of Watkins and has worked with him in the past as his teacher.
Each year, the Lions Clubs around the world sponsor the Lions Club International Peace Poster Contest in local schools and encourage young people to express their visions of peace.
The art contest has been going on for the past 25 years and more than four million children from nearly 100 countries participate. Each year an original theme incorporating peace is chosen for the contest.
Students use a variety of mediums, including charcoal, crayon, pencil and paint, to express the theme of their poster and in the process, create a unique expression of the young artists' life experience and culture.
There are 24 international Peace Poster entries that are selected each year, which represent the work of approximately 400,000 young participants worldwide, and are shared globally via the Internet, the media and exhibits around the world.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) — Passengers departing O'Hare International Airport continued to face long delays late Wednesday, after a thick morning fog caused air-traffic and flight delays in the central part of the United States as travelers journeyed for the Thanksgiving holiday.
The National Weather Service replaced an earlier dense-fog advisory with a hazardous weather outlook of fog "with potential for dense fog" well into the evening.
Airlines canceled at least 158 inbound and outbound flights at Chicago's O'Hare and Midway airports, and more than 500 flights were delayed, according to Flightstats.com.
By late afternoon, most flights in and out of O'Hare were delayed 40 minutes with United Airlines UAL, +0.30% still reporting 73-minute delays. Flights in and out Midway Airport were late by 45 minutes, according to FlightAware.com, which tracks national flights.
Travelers looking to the Federal Aviation Administration's national map of airport delays from their mobile devices had little luck earlier, because the service went down on the busiest air-transit day of the year.
The FAA's site for delays was back in service by midafternoon.
United noted that there were flight delays in Detroit, Toronto and Houston because of fog, as well as in St. Louis and Minneapolis. Meanwhile, flights out of Calgary, Canada were facing delays because of snow.
San Francisco departures were delayed because of low clouds and rain, and Los Angeles International Airport encouraged travelers to allow three hours to get to the airport because of expected delays from a union protest.
More than 24 million passengers are expected to take to the skies over this Thanksgiving holiday.

Socks info
For you sock aficionados out there, we have gathered some history and general information about our beloved foot-protectors.
The word 'socks' is derived form loose-fitting slippers, called soccus in Latin, worn by Roman comic actors.
The earliest sock models were made from animal skins wrapped around the foot and tied at the ankles. The Ancient Greeks wore socks of matted animal hair for warmth. The Romans also wrapped their feet with leather or woven fabrics. In the 5th century, the pious people of Europe wore socks called puttees as a symbol of purity. 500 years later, socks became a symbol of wealth among the nobility. The modern sock is knitted, they are designed to reduce resistance between the foot and footwear, protect footwear, provide comfort, be fashionable, and keep the feet warm. In cold environments, socks help retain or remove the moisture of the foot, minimizing the risk of frostbite.
High Quality Socks
Socks can be made from a wide variety of materials including:
- Cotton
- Wool
- Nylon
- Acrylic
- Polyester
- Olefin
- Polypropylene
- Spandex
Other materials that may be used in high quality socks for an increased softness include:
- Silk
- Linen
- Cashmere
- Mohair
The invention of the knitting machine in 1589 made high quality socks more common, as they could be produced six times faster than by hand. Nonetheless, knitting machines and hand knitters continued to work side-by-side until the 1800's.
The next revolution in high quality sock production was brought on by the introduction of Nylon in 1938. Until then, socks were commonly made from silk, cotton, and wool. Nylon gave rise to the process of blending yarns in order to produce high quality socks.
Colourful Socks
Colourful socks have recently become popular among the fashion-conscious. With the ability to be mixed and matched in seemingly unlimited combinations, these socks with character open up new and exciting fashion possibilities. Major sports brands often design colourful socks that become a key detail of sport uniforms, helping to distinguish players on opposing teams. Coloured socks can also be given a particular significance or meaning.
Fashion Socks
In a traditional world of black, grey, and blue dress socks, fashion socks stand out from the crowd displaying a more creative look. Checked, striped, dotted, or any other design you can think of, these socks can be worn in accompaniment with dress shoes, sneakers, or even a tuxedo in formal wear. Fashion socks are also perfectly at home in casual wear, adding a piece of colourful flare to blue jeans and a T-shirt.
Fashion socks come in a variety of heights: ankle, mid-calf (most common), and over the calf. Traditional dress socks have a reputation of slipping down the leg, obliging the wearer to pull them up again and again. Some men resorted to garters or sock suspenders, but now this is an issue of the past. Fashion socks with elastics have solved this recurring sock-pull problem.
Wool Socks
Wool socks have been around for a long time and are still popular today. Wool is a fibrous protein that comes from a variety of animal coats, primarily sheep. Wool socks keep the feet warm and comfortable, two qualities that will always keep them in style.
