Johnson: Darrell Wood and Crazy Dog find a home
OK, what happened to Darrell Wood and Crazy Dog?
I caught up with him in a far corner of Garden Grove Park last Monday. He was seated, listening to his transistor radio, his old dog seated comfortably in the bicycle trailer, chewing on a ramen noodle box.
So many people wanted to help the homeless man and his 16-year-old dog in the week since I wrote about him.
There were offers of financial help, of dog food. Veterinarians called as well, each offering to take a look at Crazy Dog for free. Yet how do you pass along any of these offers of help to a man who has no phone and sleeps nights curled up with his dog in alleyways or behind Dumpsters?
People want to help you, I told Wood as we sat across from each other at a picnic table.
"I need a place to stay, that's for sure," he said between bites from a can of fruit cocktail. "That's the one thing I need."
It was the first time I had ever heard the man, who has been homeless for a little more than one year, ask for anything.
He looked different. Yes, he was clean-shaven. His once-filthy clothes appeared to have been laundered. Even Crazy Dog had a different luster about her.
People who had read of him came to the park, he said. One couple rented him a room for three nights at a nearby Motel 6.
"That was awesome. I got a bath, a shave. Even my dog got a bath. And I watched the Super Bowl. It couldn't have gotten better than that."
He was back at the park, which on this day was filled with men setting up stages, booths and rides for the coming Tet festival there. The workers and police officers have politely told him and the other homeless men and women that it would be a good idea if they disappeared for awhile.
"I don't want to smear the little gathering they've got going on here," Wood said. "I've got a spot picked out."
How can I let these people help you? I asked him seemingly 50 times. He just shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't expect anyone to have a magic wand and, 'Click!' I'm somewhere else," Wood said. "Those people who came and helped me, they restored my faith in people. But maybe there is no happy ending for me."
For reasons I still do not understand, I decided to call the last person who had called about Wood. I had written his name and number down in the notebook I was using. His name was Jim.
He owned a construction paving business, Jim said when I called.
He had read of Wood and Crazy Dog, that he looked in the newspaper like a good man to him. If he has a clean background, he said, he'd be willing to get him a trailer for him and the dog to live in, that maybe he could find him some suitable work. I told Jim I would be right over.
"That would be fantastic," Wood said when I relayed Jim's offer. "But I'll believe it when I see it. I'm not distrusting anyone, but opportunities like that are few and far between."
I pulled into the parking lot in the shadow of the 57 Freeway in Anaheim, and walked into the well appointed offices of J.B. Bostick Co., one of the largest asphalt paving contractors in southern California. Jim turned out to be Jim Bostick, 67, the owner, who started the business in 1969 with, as he put it, "just $1,675 in my pocket and an old GMC pickup.
"This is just a thinking thing," he said in a deep Southern accent, "to see if this could work."
He walked me around his huge construction lot, past huge paving machines, pickups and dump trucks, to a yard beyond a mobile trailer. He pointed to a spot where a big, yellow front-loader was parked. He would put the trailer there.
"He can be our eyes and ears at night," Bostick said. "If things go well, it might all work into a job here, something to get him back on his feet."
The obvious question was, why?
"He needs help," he said flatly. "I've been blessed. I came here from a farm in Kentucky that had nothing, no running water – nothing. I know what it's like to have nothing. This is about a person. In the South, we were all raised help each other, to care about each other and to make things happen."
It will take some time finding the trailer, he said. Would I mind, he asked, finding Wood a hotel room? His company will pay for it, he said. Just have them call, he said, handing me his business card.
I am not really believing any of this, yet drive back to the park and find Wood. He and his dog are fast asleep under a tree.
Pack up your stuff, I tell him. What hotel do you like staying at?
"Motel 6," he quickly replies. "It's dog-friendly."
He rides his bicycle, Crazy Dog tucked into the rear trailer, over to the motel. J.B. Bostick Co. has, indeed, paid for a week.
Darrell Wood looked as though he was about to cry as I bid him farewell and he closed his room door.
It is a little after 1 p.m. on Friday when Jim Bostick pulls his truck into the motel parking lot. He has brought his brother, Carl, with him. They have, it turns out, just come from purchasing a 26-foot, one bedroom trailer for Wood. Both men shake the formerly homeless man's hand.
"How does all of this sound to you?" Jim Bostick asks Wood.
"It sounds right up my alley, sir," he replies, "just what I need."
He looks completely different, even from earlier in the week. His hair is freshly cut. His face is shaven.
Dan Karella, the 80-year-old man who introduced me to Wood and has basically taken care of him and Crazy Dog since last summer, on Thursday finally got Wood to sit for the haircut and shave he had purchased for him weeks ago.
The men sit and talk for awhile. Bostick tells Wood that the trailer should be delivered sometime this weekend, that the company will provide bedding, put some food in the refrigerator, get him a television and cell phone. He will also buy for him a bullhorn, Bostick said – that eyes-and-ears-at-night thing.
"You hear anything at night, you get on that thing and then get the hell out of there," Bostick tells him.
"We just want you to get yourself comfortable and familiar with things," he adds. "We don't know where this thing is going to go. I think we'll do OK."
The men shake hands.
"I feel like I'm close to the end of an awful tunnel," Darrell Wood tells me when I bid him goodbye. "I'm close to feeling good, really good about myself."
As I pull out of the motel lot, Wood is taking Crazy Dog for a walk.
He is crying.

Judd, Price; step-children, Cam (Sherry) Campbell, Castle Dale, Rick (Debbie) Campbell, Cory, Colo., Glenda (Bobbie) Sandoval, Sacramento, Calif., Cameron (Carol) Petersen, Bryon D.

On the heels of a national competition, Flip-Flops and Fitness gymnasts are ready for an exhibition and charitable fundraiser Saturday.
On Saturday, July 13, Flip-Flops & Fitness in Harrisburg will be hosting an event to raise awareness of and funds for the children of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tenn. This will be the gym's second annual fund-raiser for St. Jude's and the athletes are hoping to surpass the amount they raised last year which was $2,700.
The athletes have been going to area businesses to collect donations and sponsorships for the event. Sponsors have the option of giving a flat rate donation or opting to give an amount of their choice per flip-flop that the participant will perform. Last year the athletes completed over 4,400 flip-flops in two hours.
They are hoping to surpass that total this year.
The gym welcomes spectators to observe this event. It will be offering refreshments. The event will take place 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Flip-Flops & Fitness facility located at 601 W. Poplar St.
The 2013 United States Trampoline and Tumbling Association National competitions were held June 19 through June 22 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. There were over 30 teams there representing their gyms and states. In order to participate at the national competition athletes had to first qualify at their state competition. An athlete had to attain top ten ranking in the state to quality for Nationals. The state competition was held in April at Highland. Flip-Flops & Fitness had several athletes qualify for Nationals at the State competition, however due to the travel expense, several athletes were unable to attend. The gym had 14 athletes represent it at this year's National Competition. Next year the 2014 Nationals will be held in Louisville, Ky. and Whiting and her athletes are really looking forward to the event.
Flip-Flop's USTA national placements included:
Davyn Aud – 4th place on Floor, 5th place on Double-Mini and 7th place on Trampoline
Aniyah Crittendon – 6th place on Double-Mini and 10th place on Trampoline
Jordan Russell – 7th place on Double-Mini and 8th place on Trampoline
Madison Kingston – 8th place on Floor
Taylor Holmes – 9th place on Floor, 11th on Trampoline, 27th place on Elite Double-Mini and 28th place on Advanced Double-Mini
Kylah Parkhill – 9th place on Double-Mini and 9th place on Trampoline
Jaycee Pritchett – 9th place on Trampoline and 10th place on Double-Mini
Andrea Stricklin – 11th place on Double-Mini and 15th place on Trampoline
Taylor Gass – 11th place on Floor
Jada Burnett – 11th place on Trampoline and 16th place on Double-Mini
Adriana Armstrong – 18th place on Floor and 25th place on Double-Mini
Bryleigh Buchanan – 19th place on Floor
Page 2 of 2 - Kaci Bayne – 22nd place on Trampoline, 25th place on Floor and 27th place on Double-Mini
Jimma Gass – 23rd place on Trampoline
Kathy Bailey opened Flip-Flops & Fitness March 1984 in Carrier Mills. The facility was later moved to Harrisburg.
The gym began as an artistic gymnastics instruction facility, where students would learn routines and skills on various pieces of equipment which included the bars, beam, vault, and floor.
The United States Trampoline and Tumbling Association (USTA) and the sport of power tumbling began to gain popularity. Noting this trend, the gym became a training facility for the sport and started to participate in USTA sanctioned competition events.
In Jan. 1996, the gym began to focus solely on power tumbling and its athletes participated in competitions sanctioned by both the USTA and the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU).
In Aug. 2010, Katie Whiting purchased the facility from Alexa (Sutton) Hortin. Whiting is the niece of the original owner, Kathy Bailey. Whiting was a participant in several competitions and has been a coach at the gym since she was 14 years old. She hopes to carry on the legacy set before her.
Whiting said, "We hope to be a blessing to each and every kid who comes to our facility for years to come. We thank all who have supported Flip-Flops & Fitness throughout the years as well as the good Lord above who has blessed this facility."
The USTA, United States Trampoline & Tumbling Association, is over 30 years old. It was founded in 1971 by Larry Griswold and George Nissen (the inventor of the trampoline). The USTA started with only about 200 members who competed in tumbling, trampoline, and double-mini trampoline. It offered only one division of competition. Now it is divided into nine divisions for tumbling and six divisions for the double-mini and the trampoline. The first Nationals had approximately 250 athletes but now the Nationals have almost 2200 athletes in 5000 events. The USTA announced it will give out over $2,000 worth of scholarships to graduating seniors or to athletes that are still competing and continuing their education.

Great Alternative
"I bought this pair of sneakers a couple of months ago. I was looking for shoes that would be comfy but also look good dressed up or down a little bit. This shoe fit the guidelines. I love the look of the shoes but definitely a bit narrow. I have wide feet but bought it in my normal size 8. So when I walk for a bit longer, my feet does hurt a bit but if you have narrow feet, there should be no problem with comfort."

I've had these tires over four years and 40,000 miles on my STI and they are amazing. They grip well during acceleration, turning and braking, are very quiet, ride nicely and have outstanding wear characteristics. I rotate them every 2500 miles and expect to get a total of 45-50k miles from them. I want to buy another set when this one needs replaced. I can't speak for their snow rating since my experience in snow with them is minimal. However, in the very limited show exposure I've had with them they seemed ok, not great like a narrower, deeper tread tire.

UVU Saddelbronc Athlete Earns No. 2 Spot in the Nation in College Rodeo
As National College Rodeo Finals comes to a close at the Casper Events Center, Utah Valley University's Brock Winn rides a horse named Elvis into a No. 2 spot in the nation in rodeo's classic event, saddlebronc.
Winn broke out of the shoot to a roaring applause at the Casper Events Center. A crowd-favorite, Winn came into the short-go with a half-point advantage over his college cowboy competition.
Following six grueling days of preliminary competition, Winn, of Ferron, came down to a neck-and-neck contest against Jacobs Crawley of Texas A&M and Merritt Smith of University of Wyoming. At the tally, the weeklong run ended with Crawley in first place (304 in the aggregate), Winn in second saddle (302), and Smith, third (296).
Ben Carson of Lindon, scored the second-fastest time of the night in steer wrestling. The UVU business management major sealed the deal for the night with a No. 3 in the nation finish behind Kyle Irwin of Northwestern Oklahoma State University and first-place Jason Thomas of McNeese State University.
Utah Valley's Caleb Bennett of Morgan, suffered a disappointing senior send-off in bareback. Bennett is one of just two seniors competing in the final 108-contestant college national rodeo. And for his much anticipated final performance in the NCFR, Bennett suffered a failed flank strap just before the eight-second whistle blew to receive re-ride option.
Of his final ride, Bennett said, "Buck off or not, I'm going for it." And spurring for the highest point ride he could get, Bennett's horse offered up just a little more than he could hold onto. Picking himself up off the arena floor, Bennett received a thunderous applause from the record-setting-attendance Casper Events Center crowd for his last lightning-like college competition ride.
"Caleb got some great cracking out of the gate," said UVU Rodeo Coach Shane Draper. "Ben had a good, smooth run, and Brock got a great horse to showcase his talent. Each of these guys gave it an absolute 100 percent and I couldn't be more proud of each one of them."
This is Draper's third year as coach of the UVU Rodeo Team. Of Genola, he worked as an elementary school teacher at Brookside Elementary in Springville. Draper is a UVU graduate, former college rodeo champ and professional rodeo cowboy.
Draper has led a UVU team to the NCFR every year since joining UVU. "My goal is just to keep growing the program and be back here every year," he said.
"We've got some of the best athletes in the country and their top scores at this event prove that."
UVU rodeo cowboy Zach Heller was honored in Thursday night's performance rodeo with the "Nothing But Try" hardship scholarship. Heller, who participates in team roping, tie-down roping and steer wrestling at UVU, was tragically struck by a vehicle Jan. 13 after stopping on I-15 to help a woman whose car had been hit. Heller was driving home from rodeo practice at about 9:30 p.m. in icy-weather conditions and was not expected to survive the accident that left him with numerous injuries including three potentially fatal skull fractures and a broken upper-left rib.
Coach Shane Draper accepted Heller's award in his behalf as Heller was at the same time competing in his first rodeo in Morgan, since the accident occurred.
"His ability to endure is amazing," Draper said of Heller's return to college rodeo. "He's kept a positive attitude through it all and he's an inspiration to each of us."
Also noteworthy: Utah State University's Trevor Merrill and Garrett Thurston were named national champions in team roping for their first-place, lickety-split 5.8 second-performance. Their short-go time was the fastest in team-roping of the entirety of the week-long event.

(Troy, KS)--Troy Running Back Dillon Simpson's never had the same football coach two years in a row. He won't for his senior season either. In 2011, Troy native Ron Shelton takes over as the program's fourth head coach in four seasons.
That's hard to believe, considering the tradition of Troy. The blue and white were once a Kansas 2A state power, reeling off eight-straight playoff appearances in the mid-2000's.
The success of the team is is crucial to Shelton and the community. The program's seen a continuing trend of declining roster numbers, but is returning several key seniors that should help restore pride in Trojan Country.
Troy opens the season on at ACCHS on Sept. 2nd. They'll play four of their first five games on the road.

adorable bootie
"LOVE these booties, so much that i may have worn them out, and am thinking of buying a new pair. They give you the perfect amount of heel to be worn either casually or dressed up. I have serioulsy gotten SO many compliments, and can be worn with anything! About the shoe- i usually wear an 8.5, but i tried it on and found that it was too big, I ended up getting an 8 and it was a perfect fit."

Great shoes!!
"I am not a heels person at all but these shoes are super comfortable and cute and I can wear them walking to work (25 minute walk) no problem. My only complaint is that they are a little higher than I expected and probably a little too casual for work/for pairings with work dresses. Otherwise, I love them and the fit was great! I wear a 6.5 or a 7 and bought a 7 so that I can wear them with socks when I wear jeans. I could have gotten away with a 6.5 though to just wear them with tights/without socks."

Perfect low priced shortie cowboy boot
"This boot is like butter. I wanted a low slouchy cowboy boot but didn't want to spend a fortune. These were the best value for the money and they don't look cheap. Super comfy...needed a firm size 7 although I am usually more a 6 1/2. Dark brown really rich. Wish I had a pair in each color."

Veteran Scotland international Dan Parks will make his debut for Connacht in Friday's Irish derby against Leinster at the Sportsground.
Dan Parks will make his debut for Connacht in Friday's Irish derby against Leinster at the Sportsground.
Speaking to the Irish Times, Parks said that he is delighted to be fit for the highly anticipated fixture.
"With the injury it's been 16 weeks since I've played, now I'm dying to get out there. I never really lost it, but I feel revitalised. It's made me appreciate how much I still love playing and being around rugby," said Parks.
Connacht coach Eric Elwood has made a number of changes to his side as they prepare to take on the European Champions.
Robbie Henshaw replaces an injured Gavin Duffy at full-back. 19-year-old Henshaw earned his first competitive start in Glasgow last week and had made a notable impact from the bench in all three previous league matches.
Both Tiernan O'Halloran and Fetu'u Vainikolo return to their starting positions on the wing while Eoin Griffin joins Dave McSharry in the centre.
Up front, Brett Wilkinson makes way for Denis Buckley as loosehead prop while former Leinster prop Nathan White, who also captains the side, starts again as tighthead.
Michael Swift, who earns his 150th league appearance on the eve of this derby game, slots back into the second-row and is joined Mike McCarthy.
Eoin McKeon who started the last two weeks in the number eight position moves to blindside flanker and joins Johnny O'Connor and George Naoupu in the back-row.
Meanwhile, Ireland full-back Rob Kearney will make his first for Leinster this season. Kearney will make his 121st Leinster appearance for the province while Fergus McFadden starts on the right wing.
In midfield Gordon D'Arcy will be partnered by Brendan Macken, who scored a brace of tries last weekend, with Isa Nacewa moving to the left wing.
Ian Madigan is at fly-half with John Cooney on his inside.
In the pack, Shane Jennings leads the team and he is joined in the pack by Ben Marshall and Quinn Roux – with the South African lock set to make his second appearance for the province.
Heinke van der Merwe comes into the front-row, while the visitors can call on an all-Ireland international front-row off the bench in ex-Connacht hooker Sean Cronin, Cian Healy and Mike Ross.
Form: Connacht ended an unwanted run of ten straight defeats against fellow Irish provinces with their victory over Ulster at the Sportsground in April. Leinster have recorded three successive wins against the Dragons, Treviso and Edinburgh. The Leinstermen achieved a clean sweep of six straight wins against their Irish provincial rivals last season in the RaboDirect PRO12. Connacht have not beaten Leinster since a 27-13 victory at the Galway Sportsground on 21 April 2010.
The teams:
Connacht: 15 Robbie Henshaw, 14 Tiernan O'Halloran, 13 Eoin Griffin, 12 Dave McSharry, 11 Fetu'u Vainikolo, 10 Dan Parks, 9 Kieran Marmion, 8 George Naoupu, 7 Johnny O'Connor, 6 Eoin McKeon, 5 Mike McCarthy, 4 Michael Swift, 3 Nathan White (c), 2 Adrian Flavin, 1 Denis Buckley.
Replacements: 16 Jason Harris-Wright, 17 Brett Wilkinson, 18 Ronan Loughney, 19 Dave Gannon, 20 Willie Faloon, 21 Dave Moore, 22 Miah Nikora, 23 Mata Fifita.
Leinster: 15 Rob Kearney, 14 Fergus McFadden, 13 Brendan Macken, 12 Gordon D'Arcy, 11 Isa Nacewa, 10 Ian Madigan, 9 John Cooney, 8 Leo Auva'a, 7 Shane Jennings (c), 6 Ben Marshall, 5 Tom Denton, 4 Quinn Roux, 3 Jamie Hagan, 2 Thomas Sexton, 1 Heinke van der Merwe.
Replacements: 16 Sean Cronin, 17 Cian Healy, 18 Mike Ross, 19 Devin Toner, 20 Jordi Murphy, 21 Luke McGrath, 22 Noel Reid, 23 Fionn Carr.
Date: Friday, September 28
Venue: Sportsground, Connacht
Kick-off: 20.00 (19.00 GMT)
Referee: Peter Fitzgibbon
Assistant referees: David Wilkinson, Michael Black

you know you didn't have to go all the way to the factory just to buy their all purpose flour right?
I want to visit the King Arthur store in the fall, how did you like it and did you go to one of their baking demonstrations while you were there?
That I don't know but I can get a 50lb. Bag of it at my local food distributor for around thirty and some odd dollars I think. But for AP flour, I just buy the Costco stuff.
We were already there :-). But there's nowhere locally that I know of where I can get it for .60 per pound. Is there??
Went to Vermont today to the King Arthur factory and scored a 25 pound bag of KA AP unbleached for $15!
Glad you enjoyed your trip Wes...how are things going with your pizza biz endeavors these days?Bob

Here is a Hubble telescope view of a turbulent cauldron of star birth called N159, which is taking place 170,000 light-years away in our satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. Torrential stellar winds from hot, newborn, massive stars within the nebula sculpt ridges, arcs, and filaments in the vast cloud, which is over 150 light-years across.
A rare type of compact, illuminated "blob" is resolved for the first time to be a butterfly-shaped or "Papillon" (French for "butterfly") Nebula, buried in the center of the maelstrom of glowing gases and dark dust. The unprecedented details of the structure of the Papillon, itself less than 2 light-years in size, are seen in the inset picture.

text: So … much … reproductive health … news. Every fourth headline these days seems to be about personhood, ultrasounds or birth control. But while this most recent strain of the culture wars has, thus far, been mostly disheartening for advocates of contraception and reproductive rights, we're starting to see a little more push-back. Here's a quick guide to the good, bad and weird birth control and abortion battles taking place across the U.S. this week. I'll let you decide which goes in which category.

By PAUL RIDDLEOrangeville
In the April 12 issue of the Emery County Progress we read an article entitled "Good-bye Drought?" Darrel Leamaster reports that "none of the cities will be on turns. It is a happy day that we finally have enough water to get us back to normal."
Orangeville City residents are currently on the same watering schedule the drought has demanded in the past. Scheduling our summer activities around the drought seems to have no end in sight, even though the drought is reportedly over. One retired citizen in Orangeville, who was renting a small home, was required by his land lord to be at home to water all three of the days scheduled for his turn. There was little time to enjoy fishing, camping, or other summer activities, and an overnight stay somewhere was out of the question.
The continued schedule allows Orangeville residents to water every other day except on Sundays. During the drought, this schedule tied us pretty close to home if we did not want to lose our lawns or gardens. Though this was a small price to pay under severe drought conditions, we have paid the price. Other citizens in Orangeville who have contacted me remember having this watering schedule as far back as 10 years ago.
The notice put up by our city states, "We have received enough moisture over the winter months to help bring us out of the severe drought conditions we have experienced over the past few years. We do still need to remember water is a precious commodity and we need to be prudent in use of it. Therefore, the watering schedule will be in force this year until further notice...good conservation practices need to be used,use what you need. There is no need to water continually during the watering hours, please choose either morning or evening to water. Do not over water lawns - they do not need a lot of water to survive, twice a week will be sufficient enough water to keep lawns alive."
We have been informed that all restrictions on secondary irrigation systems have been removed. We probably have enough water to do more than keep our lawns alive.
Years of drought have made us appreciate the moisture we have received. I guess our watering schedule is supposed to be a constant reminder of the years of drought we've endured, and we are still going to be required to have odd or even days so we will not forget it. We have already learned water conservation and practiced it. Where is the rejoicing? Where is the reward for conserving? Where is the trust? Where is the end of the drought for the residents of Orangeville?
We have been put on notice, "No enforcement at this time. Please be honoest in how you use your water alloted."
We have been put on the "Honor System." After years of water restrictions and water conservation practices, we still cannot be trusted to water a couple of times a week during sensible hours on our own. Though there is no enforcement at this time, they will be watching to see if they need to implement the enforcement. Isn't putting us on this continued schedule considered enforcement? When someone is put on an honor system, it is because they are being trusted with the responsibility of doing what is right. We are being put on an honor system without the trust. We are responsible, mature, trustworthy citizens. We can probably handle not abusing our watering privileges. We know how to conserve, and we know how much water we need to use. We have certainly had years of practice.
In other cities, the governments have demonstrated in past years a trust in the citizens they represent. The citizens were allowed to water twice a week during recommended hours except for Sundays. They were given the agency and trust to water without a schedule and the water usage dropped. One city reports using 30 percent less water without being put on watering schedules. Were these citizens trusted because they are responsible, or were they responsible because were trusted?
The drought may be over, but in Orangeville, our overflow is being over regulated. We will be required to continue to try to plan our trips, vacations and our whole summer around when we are allowed to water. We will continue to plan our week by our odd or even day watering schedule. We will do this, knowing that if we miss a turn or two, our integrity and honor are on the line if we have been out of town and want to use the water outside of our turn. We will continue to live under a schedule demanded by drought conditions, while the overflowing river and water that we cannot be trusted with, flows right past our homes and onto Arizona and California.
It is the hope of many citizens in Orangeville that the councilman over the water will reconsider the watering schedule and "Let the people govern themselves."
The watering schedule does not represent the wishes of the majority of the citizens in Orangeville, and it does not demonstrate a decision that is based on trust in the residents of Orangeville. Our city government is supposed to represent the citizens. Let us live without the drought. We would like to be trusted to water as other citizens in the county are trusted, and during recommended times rather than ordered times. We would like to relieve everyone of the fear of being turned in by a neighbor or being caught by a city worker if we do not have our water shut off at exactly 10 p.m. We are writing this letter to the editor because citizens have contacted us with concerns over the new, or old, watering schedule. We would like to encourage these citizens and others to take a stand and be an advocate for their rights and the rights of others. We have a beautiful, great little city and acknowledge that many in our city government who now serve and who have served in the past are largely responsible for this.
"All in all, it is a happy day that we finally have enough water to get us back to normal." District Manager of the Castle Valley Special Service District.

Well, see, on Wednesday, In Touch reported that you were on a baby food diet! Jen says: "Sorry, but the last time I had baby food, I believe I was 1. I've been on solids for about 40 years now." [People] Lindsay Lohan and 30 of her BFFs went to see Iggy Pop play in Brooklyn on Wednesday, not that she was expected to attend: "The staff had opened a private entrance for Josh because he was going to be late," says a source. "If they expected Lindsay, they certainly didn't expect her to come with that many people. Most celebrities brought one or two guests — her crew was inappropriately large." Oh, and BTW: "She looked completely out of it." [Gatecrasher]Gisele's "post-baby body" is on display in these lingerie ads. Can kung fu really make you look like that? [NYDN]Beyoncé is being accused of lying about writing a song. Again. [ONTD]TMZ has learned that Jesse James was at the photo shoot when Sandra Bullock posed for people, which we learned on May 5 as part of Midweek Madness. Anyway, sources says Jesse was "incredible with both Sandra and Louis." [TMZ]Kate Beckinsale is a juror at The Cannes Film Festival! This magazine asks, "What are you going to do? Take notes?" Kate answers: "I arrived late because of the whole volcano thing, missed the inaugural dinner and all that. And I just thought, 'Oh shit, everyone's going to have done their homework but me.' I was going to ask that: Are we supposed to take notes or is that going to piss people off when they look over and see me writing? I think I probably will. It's a lot of films: two a day." [New York Mag]Breaking: "Teen sensation Justin Bieber is single and dating." Do what you will this information. [AP]On a BBC radio show, the host told Russell Crowe his accent in Robin Hood sounded a little bit Irish, not English. Russell got pissed and said: "You've got dead ears, mate. You've seriously got dead ears if you think that's an Irish accent." The guy said there were "hints" of Irish, and Russell spat, "bullshit." And: "I'm a little dumbfounded you could possibly find any Irish in that character - that's kind of ridiculous, but it's your show." [Daily Express]Jonathan Rhys Myers has been banned from flying United Airlines after an incident earlier this month, in which he was pounding drinks in the first class lounge and acting drunk, disorderly, belligerent, disruptive and out of control — he was not allowed to board the plane. Don't they know he's the King of England? [Radar Online]Matt Lauer and his wife Annette deny that they have broken up. Matt says: "I am living in my apartment with Annette and my children as a family and a couple. I have never moved out. I am not moving out. There is no truth to that." He also adds: "The accusations [of infidelity] are ridiculous and I'm not going to [dignify] them with an answer. It's not true." [People]"EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Matt Lauer's Mom Not Aware Of Marriage Split." [Radar Online]At the link, you can see a picture of Alexis Houston, the lady Matt Lauer was allegedly having an affair with. Someone posted the video of "Jungle Fever" in the comments, which made me LOL. [ONTD]Glee's Matthew Morrison says the rumor that he hooked up with Lea Michele is "laughable." [Us Magazine]Whoa!

[ONTD]Heidi Montag's dad can't believe that Heidi and Spencer called the cops on Heidi's mom, Darlene. "Why would they call the police on Heidi's mom, she is not a threat, it makes absolutely no sense, they need to show more respect," Bill Montag says. He also believes that Heidi is alienating her family. "My daughter used to phone me several times a week but we have not spoken since my birthday." [Radar Online]Here is a picture of Spencer Pratt wearing some king of military-grade binoculars, doing "surveillance" after calling the cops on Heidi's mom. [TMZ]Tiger Woods' lawyers are accusing Elin Nordegren's legal team of leaking information about the divorce. [TMZ]Rachel Ray and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg were at a school in Brooklyn on Thursday "to empower kids to cook and have a healthier relationship with food." [AP]Has the original Law & Order been canceled? [CBS News]Lisa Marie Presley pleaded with fans to fill the space around Michael Jackson's tomb with flowers, and now some guy is sending several thousand sunflowers to the mausoleum today. [TMZ]Here's what Danica Patrick said while looking at those NSFW pictures of her crush, Robert Pattinson, in Details: "Oh my gosh. He does look pretty good. Holy crap." Then she was asked if she's into Twilight, Danica gushed: "I'm obsessed. I've read them all. They did a good job of casting the movie-I mean, Rob looks the part. But I think nothing will ever compare to our own imaginations about, you know, perfection…Dude, they are full on nude, like, they had to wax themselves! [Borat voice] Wah wah wee wah."

[NY Post]MTV is denying the rumors that the network will hire an entirely new cast for Jersey Shore. [NY Post]What the world needs now: A solo single from Joey Fatone. [ONTD]Q: Glee seems to be the first TV show to have extended interest in the musical from the boards to people's living rooms. Are you a fan? Patti LuPone: "Absolutely! Hopefully this will want to make [audiences] go to a Broadway musical. I think it's really terrific." Q: What about the proliferation of competition shows to determine who will be the next big pop star or ballroom dancer? Patti LuPone: Oh, those I hate. Look at poor Susan Boyle. It's a very difficult profession. And it's insulting to the people who have trained for a discipline — acting and singing are crafts and disciplines. It's also, especially American Idol, so derivative. They all sound like somebody who's already famous. And Dancing With the Stars is pathetic. If you're going to have a competition, have it with real dancers. Show me some real talent." [Variety]"I just celebrate who she was. She was like the person who walked in the room and she was always the first person to dance. You know when you go to a party and everybody is standing around, and the music is going — and you know sooner or later everyone is going to dance. She was always the first person to dance. And I just try to connect to that and celebrate who she was and how she was, and not make sense of it, 'cause there is no sense of making sense of it." — Ashton Kutcher on his ex-girlfriend, Brittany Murphy. [ONTD]"I had a general meeting with him. We hit it off a little bit, and it went from there. But I didn't think I'd be playing a priest." — Colin Hanks, on working with Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner in the past. [USA Today]"I didn't want to celebrate a culture of wealth. But after the crash, all bets were off. It was a triple bypass. This is serious. It's time to come back. It had to be done."— Oliver Stone, on Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. [The Wrap]"I've always wanted to be a rock star, if just because of the sexiness of it. But I'm far too self-conscious. I'm much happier being a comedian who's sexy and a bit rock-and-roll rather than the most gauche, awkwardly embarrassing rock star in history. You can't be a rock star if you're too aware of how ridiculous it is. You can't be ironic about it. When we did that concert I felt legitimately sexy in that moment. It was only later I thought, What was I thinking, thrusting my hips in that way and snarling?" — Russell Brand. [Playboy]"Living on top of the whole scene had its advantages. 'Happy' epitomized that. One afternoon, Jimmy Miller [the producer] was on drums and Bobby Keys on baritone sax, but that was about it. The guys didn't usually start work until after dark. I said: 'Look, I've got this idea. Can we just lay it down for later?' By the time the rest of the band arrived, I'd done a few overdubs and we had finished the track. I'd captured it before anybody else knew it existed. I play 'Happy' quite a lot. It's not usually my genre. I'm not known for happy and joyful stuff. I'm probably more aligned to Lucifer and the dark side. But it was a damn good afternoon and I still love it." — Keith Richards. [Independent]"When I go [to concerts and festivals] I try to blend in as much as I can but sometimes it can be a bit difficult. I usually get drunken people shouting things at me. At [one show] I thought I'd be clever and wear a horse costume as a disguise, but this attracted more attention and someone even picked me up off the floor for a joke. I realize now that I'm always going to get recognized wherever I go, so I just have to deal with it. Needless to say, I'm not going to be wearing a horsey disguise again any time soon." — Harry Potter star Rupert Grint. [Telegraph]"The first time I got onstage was when I was about 5 years old. It was at a church social, and I had a poem to recite. I had on a little white sailor suit, and my nose started bleeding. I went up to make my speech, and I put one finger there to stop the bleeding and said, 'If you don't like the looks of me, you can look some other way.' I've never had stage fright since." — Willie Nelson. [Time]Q: What helps you get through difficult times in life? Willie Nelson: "Positive thinking. Believing that it's going to be O.K. And so far it has been. Why bitch about anything? You're not hungry. You're not cold. Neither am I. We're not sick. So everything is fine. If you continue to live in the now, then things will be O.K." [Time]"Someone asked at the press conference about why are there no female directors and I don't know. I've only ever worked with one - but hopefully this year it will make three. I wish there were more. It's important to have a female sensibility in the movies." — Kate Beckinsale.

Hurry Down Sunshine is a remarkable book. It is the type of book I want to tell everyone about: "You should read this book. Now!"
During the summer of 1996, on July 5th to be exact, Greenberg's fifteen-year-old daughter, Sally, suffers a profound crack in her being which spirals into manic psychosis. This father makes a very difficult decision to commit his daughter to a psychiatric hospital for very needed treatment but struggles with why and how this happened.Hurry Down Sunshine offers a very intimate glimpse of a common psychiatric syndrome delivered from an uncommon perspective. In doing so, Greenberg illuminates an arena of collateral damage of mental illness that often eludes societal concern. The book is a two month segment of the life of a writer immersed in problems endemic to many – career, housing, finances, a first then a second marriage, children and several generations of troubled family, all suddenly up-ended by a mental illness as familiar and incomprehensible as if it were his own.
"Sally, the quirky, brilliant 15-year-old daughter from his first marriage (to Robin), was transformed overnight into an angry stranger exploding with kaleidoscopic energy, her speech shattered like dropped glass. The story, in addition to being a heart-wrenching account of the brilliant burst and fall-out fading of a full-blown mania, records the desperate efforts of the author to hold the center of his life, manage the crisis, and quench his intense thirst to understand what was happening. The author's obsession with etiology ranges the expanse from bad parenting to drug abuse, genetics, nutritional deficiency, a rare force of nature like a blizzard or flood, offenses to God, misaligned spirituality, a bad throw of the dice, and back to bad parenting. The question "Why?" can never really be fully answered in Greenberg's case, nor, I suspect in the case of most people suffering and living with the same disease.
Greenberg broods under the shadow of the psychiatric affliction of his dysfunctional, nearly homeless brother, Steve, as well as his readings on mental illness in writers and their families: Robert Lowell's wild mood swings; Ernest Hemingway's granddaughter, who killed herself while reading one of his books – one day before the anniversary of Hemingway's own suicide; and James Joyce, who mirrored the author's preoccupation with a psychotic daughter. They shared the initial belief that oddness reflected the growing pains of a very gifted child, but as Joyce's Lucia became chronically paranoid, he mercilessly blamed himself. He squandered years and a fortune seeking remedies, which included consultation with Carl Jung and an expensive fur coat believed to possess healing powers. Lucia's only evidence of being in touch with reality occurred at his funeral, where she pronounced her father an idiot.
Sally had been an infant without serenity. She rejected Robin's breast at two months and was a thrasher, gripper, and yanker of fingers, hair and ears, relentlessly propelling herself away from her parents. Later, she craved reassurance but always rejected it. In school she was found to have a serious learning disorder, yet her deftness with puns and wit, coupled with sheer determination, revealed a bewildering intelligence. Sally was only eleven when her parents divorced, and several years of shuffling between them, rebellious acting out, and school problems ensued. As Sally ages, a stint of special education seemed to be succeeding and things at home, living with her father and step-mother, Pat, seemed more settled. The mania erupted like a sudden storm. Sally suffered a truly harsh psychosis based on the belief that everyone is born a genius and it is her role to reveal this truth. Beyond the uncontrolled explosions of speech and action common to her illness, Sally had none of the ebullient expansiveness usually seen. Her pressured speech was wry and negative, tinged with paranoia, replete with delusions and, it is revealed later, auditory hallucinations.
While in hospital, Sally initially disappears behind locked doors and into isolation rooms without explanation or comment from a seemingly harsh hospital staff who regard the author for weeks on end as a bothersome intruder entitled neither to consolation nor information. Doctors mostly explained too little too quickly, thus mystification reigned for much too long. Eventually bonds of understanding are formed and Sally very slowly begins to emerge from the ruins of her mania.
The story also details how severe illness stresses the family. Sally's mother, Robin, crowded into the scene, adding her anti-medical bias to the mix of confusion and worry. Tension with his second wife, Pat, finally led to a nasty marital fight, which rebounded with a reconciliation so sincere it engendered a pregnancy. The author's mother and brothers, each on their own, felt obliged to contribute idiosyncratic cross-currents of counsel, adding more drag to the author's effort to keep his nose above water.
The tide didn't turn until well into Sally's second month of illness, and recovery proceeded like sludge. But one evening the author perceived a slight shift in the air and quite unexpectedly Sally leaned against him and said, "You and Pat saved my life. It must have been hard for you." The miracle of normalcy and ordinary existence had descended upon them. Sally was back, and she was able to return to school that fall not fully asymptomatic, but functional. In a postscript, we learn that she graduated from high school with honors, but shortly thereafter became ill again. Two years later, she entered a marriage that lasted only three years and at last report available to the reader, she was living and working near her mother in the country. We depart this eloquently told tale, yet unfinished, in hope and worry with her father."

After last week's lackluster 4-1 loss to Homestead that broke the Germantown softball team's 51-game North Shore Conference winning streak, Warhawk co-coach Kurt Raguse read the team the riot act about its lack of aggressiveness at the plate.
Well, senior shortstop Erika Berry and the rest of the team heard the message loud and clear Thursday night, as the four-year letterwinning Berry hit a first pitch leadoff double to start the game and then launched a two-run homer in the second as the Warhawks cruised to an 11-2 WIAA regional final victory over North Shore rival Nicolet.
"It's kind of hard sometimes when you don't hit as well as you'd like to," said Berry, who finished with three hits on the night. "As a leader I just try to set an example. We all try to help each other out."
It succeeded as the Warhawks finished with 19 hits for the game.
The Warhawks (15-8 overall) will try to use that example as they take dead aim at their third straight WIAA State Tournament berth. They will host archrival Homestead at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 3 in a sectional semifinal game. The sectional final will be back at Germantown on Thursday, June 5. Top-seeded Brookfield Central will host DSHA in the other sectional semifinal.
It's a wide open sectional, there for the taking, said Raguse.
"Anybody can beat anybody," said Raguse, and then he laughed when he discovered that the team was going to play Homestead again.
"Here we go again," he said.
The offense got off to a positive start in the first as after Berry's double, she was sacrificed to third by Haley Johnson and then scored on Carly Szada's sacrifice fly.
But the Warhawks really revved up in the second inning, notching six hits including Berry's majestic moon-ball of a two-run homer down the leftfield line. It was her second home run of the season.
That big blast had been preceded by a two-run single from second baseman Bailey Kochevar. Kochevar, a recent call-up from the junior varsity, would finish with three hits and four RBI on the night.
"She's a solid defensive second baseman," said Raguse of Kochevar, "but the primary reason why we brought her up is that we were just not getting enough production out of that position. She started out slow, but lately, she's been helping a lot."
And when Germantown tacked on three more runs in the third (another two-run single by Kochevar keyed the rally for the Warhawks), that's all pitcher Jordan Wood would need.
She struck out five of the first six batters she faced and finished with eight "Ks" in four shutout innings before giving way to Kim Soderberg, who is battling back from a broken finger.
"Jordan really set a tone for us," said Raguse.
Germantown closed out its scoring in the fourth as Michaela Buchholz had an RBI single and Sarah Richmond knocked in two runs with a single of her own. In that frame, the Warhawks succeeded in chasing Knight starter Amanda Mehl. Reliever Ania Kotecki did manage to shut the Warhawks out in the final two innings.
Nicolet's returning NOW All-Suburban shortstop Edyn Herbert gave the Knights something to cheer about in the fifth with a booming two-run home run to right-center off of Soderberg, but it wasn't enough.
It was a frustrating night for Nicolet coach Teri Green whose team finished a competitive season at 10-12 and whose team had played a close game with Germantown in the regular season closer last week.
"We had played two tough full games against them (in the regular season) but they got the hits tonight," said said. "Their aggressiveness on the basepaths (the Warthawks were always taking the extra base on hits) really hurt us too, It's not how we really wanted it to work out."
Raguse hopes the Warhawks continue to hit.
"We've been trying to get them to do that all year," he said. "We've been trying to get them to understand that if they come out and hit the (other team's) mistakes early on, they will be successful.
"I like it when they make me look smart like that."
Berry said the team will try to remain smart.
"We're going into sectional pretty confident," she said. "We just have to go in there and play clean on every ball, play as hard as we know how. We'll have each other's back and try to stay positive."

Number of financial institutions decreased in Europe
On 1 January 2012 there were 7,533 MFIs resident in the euro area, compared with 7,865 on 1 January 2011. In relative terms, the decrease was particularly pronounced in Ireland (-15%), Luxembourg (-8%), Cyprus (-6%), France (-5%) and Greece (-5%). In absolute terms, Ireland (-106), France (-59), Luxembourg (-48) and Germany (-43) were the main contributors to the net decrease of 332 units in the euro area.
2011 saw a substantial decrease in the number of money market funds, as an MFI sub-sector, owing in part to their new definition, under Guideline ECB/2011/13, which is more closely in line with that used for supervisory purposes. The contraction in this sub-sector was most prominent in Ireland (-97), Luxembourg (-46) and France (-29).
Despite the enlargement of the euro area through the accession of Greece (2001), Slovenia (2007), Cyprus and Malta (both 2008), Slovakia (2009) and Estonia (2011), the number of MFIs in the euro area has decreased by 24% or 2,323 institutions since 1 January 1999. On 1 January 2012 Germany and France accounted for 41% of all euro area MFIs, a share slightly greater than that recorded on 1 January 2011.
On 1 January 2012 there were 9,587 MFIs resident in the EU, a net decrease of 334 units (-3%) since 1 January 2011. Compared with the situation on 1 January 1999 (10,909 MFIs in the EU), there has been a net decrease of 1,322 units (-12%), despite the addition of 1,608 MFIs on 1 May 2004, when ten new Member States acceded, and of a further 72 MFIs on 1 January 2007, when Bulgaria and Romania joined the EU.

Comfy but runs long and wide
"Perfect for wide feet (which is what I have). Runs slightly long though. I normally wear a 7 and that is what I got but they are not perfectly snug. Very comfy though and have a lot of cushion on them."

"I cannot say enough about these shoes. The color is vibrant - the fit is amazingly perfect as is the comfort. I wasn't so sure about the soles with that particular type of rubber - but it adds a "spongy" spring to your step. I found a perfect scarf to match but I've got to go buy some new outfits just so I can wear these more often!"

Sale Sharks qualified for their first final in seven years with a 21-15 victory against Saracens at the Salford City Stadium.
Sale Sharks qualified for their first final in seven years with a 21-15 win against Saracens at the Salford City Stadium.
The Sharks were dealt a pre-match blow when Cameron Shepherd pulled up in the warm-up and youngster Mike Haley was drafted in as a last minute replacement at full-back.
Sale enjoyed much of the early minutes on the attack with Andy Powell and Henry Thomas were making good metres before a knock-on brought a promising series of phases to a halt.
Danny Cipriani put the first points on the board on three minutes with a ten metre penalty. The lead lasted less than two minutes as Saracens scrum-half Ben Spencer kicked a penalty from in front of the posts for Saracens, before kicking his second penalty on seven minutes from 40 metres.
Sale were playing into a very strong wind and even penalty kicks to touch were not relieving the pressure, Spencer adding a third penalty from near half-way.
Play was stopped when Sale captain David Seymour had lengthy treatment for a bang on his shoulder but he resumed albeit looking a little worse for wear. Danny Cipriani brought the Sharks back in contention with another close range penalty.
Saracens applied most of the pressure after the Cipriani penalty and went 6-12 up on 24 minutes with Spencer's fourth penalty.
Sale weathered a lot of Saracens pressure before Tom Holmes won a line out 15 metres out after 37 minutes and charged over for a try. Cipriani's attempted conversion demonstrated how vicious the wind was as it bent away badly after being kicked.
The visitors launched an attack ten minutes into the second half and were rewarded with a penalty which Ben Spencer took. His 100% record was ended when his kick was caught by the wind and went horribly wide.
Saracens were then awarded a penalty 25 metres out going into the final quarter in front of goal which Ben Spencer slotted home.
Sharks mounted a series of attacks on the Saracens line after 66 minutes and Nathan Fowles scored a try in the corner to give the home side the lead. Cipriani judged the conditions perfectly to convert from the touchline with 13 minutes left.
The crowd were on their feet with three minutes to go as Sale were awarded a penalty. Cipriani opted to kick for goal and made no mistake to leave the score at 21-15, as Sale progressed to meet Harlequins in the LV=Cup final next weekend.

For Sale Sharks:
Tries: Holmes, Fowles
Con: Cipriani
Pens:Cipriani 2
For Saracens:
Pens: Spencer 5

As the weather turns warmer we can get set to find a lot of fresh, local produce. Asparagus is only one of many wonderful foods we will be feasting on in the coming months. So today let's take a look at asparagus salad. As you will see we can enjoy asparagus cold as well as warm.
According to the website of the Washington Asparagus Commission, "Asparagus is one of nature's true food heroes as a source of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron. Asparagus is also packed in the naturally occurring phytochemicals of glutathione, rutin, and folic acid. Asparagus, next to orange juice, is regarded as the second best whole foods source of folic acid. Folic acid is known to lower the risk of heart disease, colon cancer, liver disease, and spina bifida." Wow, that's a lot of nutrition in just one food source.
Asparagus Salad with Port Vinaigrette
Serves 4
1 pound asparagus, peeled and cleaned
1 Tbl extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup green onion, cleaned and sliced
2 Tbl tawny port
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
4 large green lettuce leaves
12 slices cucumber
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
1/4 cup shredded carrots
Blanch asparagus, place in boiling. lightly salted, water for no more than 2 minutes, immediately drain and immerse in ice water to stop cooking, when cold, drain again.
Whisk together port, vinegar, oil, pepper and salt. Place asparagus and green onion in bowl and pour over vinaigrette, toss to coat and marinate, on counter, for 1 hour. Strain out marinade and reserve some on the green onion to garnish salad.
Place each lettuce leaf on a plate and build your salad with the all the ingredients. Use the carrots second to last and the green onion on top of the carrots. Think of attractive ways to build these ingredients.

BAUCH: Bring on the lockout
by Andy Roth
posted Mar 4 2011 7:59AM
I love football. I hope it goes away for a year or two.
Articles on CBA negotiations, decertification and revenue sharing have just begun to dominate the sites bookmarked on my web browser and many experts predict a long road to hoe for football fans. Maybe it's a pessimistic approach, but I've already reached the end of my road.
I realize I'm jumping the gun a bit here and that there's still plenty of time for the owners and the players union to shake hands and share a pie, but I'm angry already.
Just because we all knew a dispute was coming doesn't mean there has to be a dispute.
We've been through the lock-out /strike shuffle before many times as sports fans. If there is a work stoppage in the NFL, everyone knows that football will be back. It's just a matter of whether or not the latest battle will drag out long enough to postpone our Sundays. If there is no NFL football for a while, I can take it.
There isn't a single person involved in these labor negotiations who gives a damn about the fans. In my opinion, there isn't one owner, one commissioner, one player, one lawyer who actually is worried about anything other than making money. Otherwise, there would always be football.
If negotiations go well and there is an agreement reached soon, I will be a happy football fan. I am really hoping to enjoy April's draft without the looming thought of the third overall pick possibly having to wait a year to play for my favorite team. The owners and players both stand to lose a lot of money if the season is delayed or missed. Perhaps that threat may expedite signatures and ratification.
If not, good. I'll be fine. I have a life. I have other sports. I'll get over a lack of NFL football by the middle of September. As frustrated millionaire players use the media to point fingers at billionaire owners, citing a need to take care of their families, I'll be busy spending time with mine. My heart will glow with the realization that some of that money being lost will never be recovered. I hope the process hits them all where it hurts.
I've given a lot of my money and emotion to sports. I'll never forget sneaking my Walkman into the Hills Department store bathroom I was cleaning in 1994, tuning in to WGR 550 to get updates on the NHL lockout and praying that there would be hockey. It was a pathetic scene. I won't be that person again. I can't care that much anymore.
I do realize that a lockout would not only hurt the wealthy. There are plenty of people employed by these organizations who cannot afford to go a month without a check. For these people, there is no war chest. I hope for a resolution for them alone, and I think it's sad that the people who least can afford to be hurt by this greed will be the first ones sent home to sweat it out.
This isn't one of those idle threats about never watching the NFL again. I'm not going to stop wearing officially licensed gear while taking in a Sunday ticket or two. I just refuse to be a hostage. I'm going on the offensive. I want there to be a lockout. If I have to clog up my sportscasts with labor news and read stories about the two sides breaking negotiations for a 2-hour lunch, I want both sides to pay. I want players and owners to be unhappy.
I want Paul Allen's stadium to sit empty on the first Sunday after Labor Day, echoing with the silence from thousands of 12-dollars beers going unsold. I want Ray Lewis to fret over the thought of missing the end of his career because of a few percentage points. I can't say I don't care, because I do care. I care for everyone involved to be punished. This dispute doesn't have to come to a lockout. Fans pay a lot of money to watch and enjoy a game. It's disrespectful for the league and its players to be so greedy to not have taken care of this matter sooner. It is, after all, the fans' money that they are dividing.
So, go ahead and fight over our money, guys. We're not going anywhere. I sincerely wish you all to refuse us your football league. Do me a favor, though and shut up. I don't care to hear how it's going. Just tell me when it's over.
By the way, your 12-dollar beers are delicious.

Book Now
I love old books. I like to read them, to look at them, to decorate with them, and to use them for the perfect present (the ultimate form of recycling). I have been arranging my book shelves by color for quite a while and after helping friends and clients do the same, and seeing the growing trend, I decided to sell decorative book collections, thus DecadesofVintage. For me, decorating with books is like painting a picture or telling a story.

Question: Does it come with a lumbar and/or headrest cushion?
Answer: Beside the RB1 and LED (RL1) models, all R Series chairs come with a lumbar cushion and a headrest. The RB1/RL1 models only come with a headrest, no lumbar cushion since the different backseat design prevents the lumbar cushion to be attached correctly.
Question: How much weight can this chair support?
Answer: This chair is suggested for users up to 5'11" and up to 180 lbs.
Question: What is the difference between this chair and the other chairs of the R series?
Answer: The RH and RV models have the multi-functional mechanism (tilt lock, tilt tension and height adjustment) and 3" casters (wheels). The rest of the R series have conventional mechanism (height adjustment and tilt tension) and 2" casters. Depending on the models, some have PU covers and others have PU+PVC (Vinyl). Please refer to the description tab for more details regarding the specification of each chair.
Question: Is it possible to upgrade a part (such as the armrest) of this product?
Answer: Unfortunately, at the moment, it is not possible to upgrade or change the original parts of the chair.
Question: If this product is sold out, how long can it take before it gets back in stock?
Answer: This can depend on a variety of factors. Usually, an out-of-stock chair can take 1 to 3 weeks to restock. The best way to know when a chair is back in stock is to use the notification button on the product's page. This way, you are sure to not miss the next restock.
