Cute Flats
"I really like the fit of these flats. I modified them a little by cutting off part of the bow. It was just a bit too much on the toe of the show. They were really comfortable from the first time I put them on and I wore them all day with no problems."

Too long and a little wide
"These were way too long a little wide, of course I chose the X-wide but there was only that and normal. Also the color was very misleading. The name of the color is midnight and looks dark blue on the web however they look much more grey in person. I returned them, not worth the sale price."

"These were very comfortable, but just way bigger than any other 8W I've ever bought. I had to take them back. Plus the material on the bow was not what I was expecting."

Epistle Reading
Document Actions
St. Paul's Letter to the Romans 5:1-10
Prokeimenon. Mode Plagal 2.
Psalm 31.11,1
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous.
Verse: Blessed are they whose transgressions have been forgiven.
BRETHREN, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us. While we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man -- though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die. But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

We'd never thought we'd see the day when two of our favorite past times (happy hour and denim of course!) join forces to coexist as one. But the day has come, and to say the least, we're quite ecstatic about the "injeanious" collaboration. Reason why? Denim Lounge located in the heart of New York City's diverse Brooklyn neighborhood Bedford-Stuyvesant, is home to a jazzy live band, $2 tuesdays ($2 drinks specials, defintelty love at first sight) and weekly events that allow local talent to show case their work. But don't let the down to earth vibe fool you, the decor in this lounge is one to be reckoned with. The glistening black bar, red scalloped banquettes, and scented candles will leave you feeling swanky as if you just stepped into the Gansevoort Hotel. But being the denim lovers that we are, we take great appreciation to the quirky mural of a topless chick wearing a pasted-on pair of jeans and the muted prince videos that play on a projectile screen. Denim lounge has definitely lived up to its name and we're not complaining one bit. Cheers!

Skip to comments.McCain, Schumer Say Gun Control Will Get Another Vote This Year
Posted on 04/26/2013 6:39:27 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
In comments made on April 25, Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) both said they were saddened gun control didn't pass on April 17 but assured reporters the measures would be brought up for another vote some time this year.
"I think we will bring the bill back before the end of the year... lots of Senators who thought it was safe to vote against it [on April 17] because of the intensity [pro-gun groups] are not so sure anymore," Schumer said.
Schumer said the intensity for gun control has increased since the failed vote for gun control legislation, and he thinks Americans are now "intense" in their desire for more gun control.
McCain concurred, saying, "I... agree with Chuck that I think the issue will come back." McCain supported the Manchin/Toomey gun control "compromise" the first time around; he said the toughest part of pushing it is that "Second Amendment defenders" are very active....
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
I think they need to try it every 6 months so people don't forget before the next election.
McCain is getting worse the longer he's there.
McCain just go away.
Somebody ping me the next time McCain pushes a conservative bill.
It's people like McCain who have turned me against the GOP.
He is no more than a RAT.
Third party will have ensured that some sort of gun control would have passed. I understand your frustration though.
Fear of a primary challenge is the only thing keeping some rinos in line, at least on this issue.
The problem with Juan McCain is, he knows he's doing his final term. Arizonans will never elect this scumbag again.
I got a questionaire from the RNC in the mail today. Bunch of questions about the direction the party should go. It was just a fishing operation for my money.
I wrote on it " no money till the RINO'$ are gone '
Yeah, about an hour after the false flag they're working on.
By that time, you could be in a wheel chair and collecting social security, or more likely, we will all be pushing up daisies by then. He is disgusting.
Then we conservatives need to take over the Republican Party from the precinct level on up. I watched the Pat Robertson folks do exactly that in Iowa in 1987-88.
This must be where the term "harder headed then a government mule" came from. Jackasses both.
That's what has been causing all the change in Michigan. Conservatives from the roots up.
These bitches are waiting, salivating, for another killer to spring out with some fresh bodies for these Marxists to dance upon. If there isn't a psycho available, they'll set one loose. Read Matt's first book.
It's what totalitarians do.
Don't hold your breath!
Actually one of them couldn't take it anymore and is no longer a fan and both the others are wobbling, so he better act quick.
Please tell me this piece of crap is not running for Senate again..Seriously McCain, do everyone a favor and just retire, or just become a Dem, you know you want to..McCain is so desperate to get the love from the media and the left he will stoop to any level to kiss some Commie ass
Agree. We need to complete our takeover of the party from within. I will do what I can on the local level to further that process. There may be a time in near future to go third party. If immigration reform in its current form passes, our party will likely split up. One of two more election cycles after amnesty and the Republicans would no longer be viable on the national level.
Tar and feathers — good then, still sends a message.
The effin retreads have been electing this man because of his torture. Now a nation is tortured by him. Kinda poetic.
I wish McCain would organize a third party—He gives the GOP a bad name-—he and Chuck Hagel.
Jaun works for the same power that Schumer works for, and it ain't We The People.
I wrote on it no money till the RINO$ are gone
I no longer even open their surveys. They don't read them—just count the money. They must call my house at least twice a week. My husband likes to answer and give the telemarketer a hard time. They called once during a Presidential debate. My husband told them he was watching the debate. The caller ask, "what debate"
This doesnt bother me as much as the internet tax and amnesty that McCain is joining Dems on,
McCain is really peeing me off now. I fully believe he is not running again and so he plans to do as much damage as possible in his last term.
Anyone here who supported him in 2010 is either stupid or a liberal.
And if REpublicans join him they are dead to me.
McCain and Shumer = Dumb and Dumber...........
Piss off Monkey Boys. We are not going to allow you to screw with our rights...........
McCain is an old school progressive. It is very sad to see him representing Arizona. We could do so much better. Once in, it is very hard to get them out.
He has lots of money, name recognition, and the support of the MSM. Maybe he will retire. Six months ago I saw him campaigning with Jeff Flake. I spoke to them and watched John McCain for over an hour, close up. He is vigorous, sharp, and showed no sign of dementia.
I am afraid that we cannot be sure that he will not run in 2016.
Would be good if neither of those maggots are alive if/when it does.
Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform

McCain is crazy as hell. Second Amendment Defenders???!!!
Your Rino Bastard, YOU are supposed to be a Second Amendment Defender.
This is just my analysis prediction which is most often right but occasionally wrong (not lately) but I see MCain planning retiring after all these obvious attacks on us.
If he ran again he would put Palin in a rather suicidal spot this time to have to either defend or turn on him. If he runs and she doesn't turn on him then she will no longer be listened to by anyone.
This is much different then late 2010 when Rush told his listeners that Obama didnt care if he was re-elected. I immediately started posting here that Rush was FOS.
Bunch'a bigoted, elitist, fascist, gun-grabbing, anti-libertarian, extremist, anti-Constitutional pantywaists.
McCain is now creating his liberal legacy in what he sees as his last term, no more primaries.
As Rush says :'Dont doubt me!' LOL
Biden is in Sedona and Flagstaff this weekend.
Is he meeting with Juan McCain on guns?
McCain is as useless as that fat drunken blob Massachusetts sent to the senate all those years. Arizona can be proud.
Yeah thanks Sarah, I was flamed for dissing her for staying in bed with that sack of crap. "She had to", no she GD did not have to. When someone can do no wrong in your eyes, you have a problem with hero worship versus rationality.
They'll pass it at midnight with one extra vote (whoever isn't up for election that year). They have no regard for what the people actually want and haven't had for decades.
New York and Arizona voters need to step up and recall vote these SOB's out of office. Is that possible ?
Till then I'm sending contributions to NRA and Texas State Rifle Association . Also will babysit my own polidiots as a best I can and use snail mail, hand written and email to all I can with my views on the subject.
We could probably pay off the national debt if we fined congress for unconstitutional legislation attempt...
Vote with our dollars between elections if at all possible....
Do not support any progressive socialist supporting enterprise. GM / GE sorts can kiss my ass !
My own penny a day, doubled every day form of resistance on these rhinos and rat domestic enemies.
BLOAT when ya find it....
This is how they are driving the redefinition and perversion of "Marriage" up America's whooper - by incessant, relentless repetition.
These bills will be recycled and re introduced over and over again until opposition is eventually worn down or spent out... then they will pass it in the middle of some dark night when no one is looking and shazzam; "Turn in your guns, America"!
Does a significant portion of American gun owners have the testicular fortitude to actually take a stand and resist enFORCE ment with defensive counter force, which is about all we'll have left after they hammer such unconstitutional legislation through the halls of legislatures and congress?
Despite all of the "Cold dead hands" bravado, when the hob nailed jack boots come knocking, I seriously doubt it.
In the states where the peasantry has already been effectively disarmed, how many dissidents put up a fight for their 2A "rights"?
As people found out in Nazi Germany, England and other tyrannical regimes; in most cases to resist was to die - or spend the rest of your miserable life in a cage.
Not many civilian Americans have the stomach for civil war, IMHO - while the Regimes' private political "Security force" Sturmabterlung of gang bangers, foreign mercenaries and Islamic Hadji professional killers are delighted by the prospect and can hardly wait to get it on.
Go ahead and vote all you want; Republicrat... Democan... the flight plan won't change much even if elections aren't rigged... which I'm pretty sure they are and have been for some time now.
Good luck with a 3rd party; we tried that already. That door was locked up tight years ago.
Remaining options, the way I see it:
Surrender your arms and stand by for dispossession, persecution, slavery and probable genocide.
Resist and expect the horrors of war and slaughter, somewhat like what we see in Syria - only probably much worse. The Syrian "rebels" have plenty of outside support, but Who is going to back the American Patriot this time - France... again?
Oh; one other option... I almost forgot:
2 Chronicles 7:14
... probably wouldn't hurt.
RE #10: "... about an hour after the false flag they're working on. "
You mean the NEXT FF operation, don't you?
Expect a steady stream of them until they get what they want.
The cattle cars to the camps will then follow close behind.
RE: 'Once in, it is very hard to get them out."
Unless of course it's a real conservative Patriot, like Lt. Col. Allan West, that is.
One term wonder; go along; get along, or get out seems to be the general rule in politics.
Bachman kept her seat by the proberbial skin of her teeth, and I will be amazed if she survives the next combined attack of the Democan and Republicrat establishment.
She dared to question why all the MuzzBros in the administration, and that was probably the kiss of death for her political career.
Anyone who disses the Saudis or Muslims (like West had the audacity of doing) is probably toast.
" I see this as similar to my proven correct posted predictions that MCCain 2008 and Romney 2012 would lose, that Ryan was a phony, and that Obama really did want to be re-elected contrary to what What Rush was saying he didnt"
And here wi are, with the corrupt GOP moving to the left, and discussing Ryan, Rubio, and Jeb Bush for the next POTUS. Is this hell on earth, or what?
When Palin came here to AZ for here 4 stop campaign(including the big money fundraiser at the Biltomre,hosting very rich pro-amnesty Republicans) I still remember her words....
Palin: " John McCain is a true conservative! "
" John McCain IS the Tea Party!"
These quotes were in the Arizona Republic.
Arizona Biltmore, that is.

Ellistown Breezes
It is definitely Springtime again in Mississippi. Even though Sunday I came out of church the sky looked like it might snow, the many trees in bloom signal Spring. Dogwood blooms are trying their best to get past this cool spell and blossom out to their prettiest and whitest, and look so beautiful mixed with the tender green leaves which have suddenly come on the scene. Each year is a new thrill to the heart to see everything coming to life again.
Deepest sympathy to Charles and Debra Tate in the death of her son who lived in Arkansas.
Ellistown School buses rolled again last week after their Spring Break and I am sure everyone was anxious to get back to school. Marion, Arkansas schools were a week later with their Spring Break and I was able to enjoy Caroline and Sara Beth for a few days. Patsy brought them over Wednesday morning and they had their schedule of things they wanted to do. Rain revised some of their plans, so instead of going on a picnic Wednesday we had to go shopping instead, so we shopped at the mall at Tupelo. Thursday morning Patsy and the girls kept Maggie while Cristie kept an appointment. Cristie dropped her boys off at school and stopped on her way back so she had coffee and conversation before her appointment.
Margaret should have gone to Senior Adults and had planned to except it isn't often she can enjoy the girls and Patsy taking care of the baby, so she decided to stay put. Upon Cristie's return, I served sandwiches to everyone for lunch and we all enjoyed spending time together. Then we went to see the Historical Museum at New Albany. If you have not seen it, please go through it and you will discover many items of interest to you as we did. Afterwards, we were determined to see the "Park Along The River" and drove through to find the playground with water standing because it had rained again. We then drove down to see the engraved brick with Veterans names at the flagpole. However, when we reached the end of the drive, again we found the ground too soggy to walk on to the flagpole. The girls do want to come back in dry weather and cover our trial again.
It was getting late in the afternoon when Merrill Scott called Patsy and she told her we would meet her at her mother's who lives at Traceway. We did, and had a good visit with "Miss Kat." She seemed very chipper and said she was feeling fine. Of course, since we were in downtown Tupelo we thought we might as well look at a few more stores, after which the girls decided they wanted pizza for supper so we headed to the pizza place and enjoyed pizza, even their dessert pizza before heading home.
Friday morning came all too soon and they headed home by way of their great-grandmother, Isabelle Scott's, home in Sherman to visit with her before heading for Arkansas. I had an appointment at 1 p.m. and when I returned home I had a message from them that they had missed their grandmother Scott but were over the bridge in Arkansas. The house certainly seems quiet after a couple of days listening to "Hannah Montana" in the background and voices or the clicking of games being played. When riding, they listened to Taylor Swift's music and would sing along with her never missing a word.
Saturday, I studied my Sunday School lesson and kept thinking about my sister Katie, so I called in the late afternoon and asked how the weather was in Alabama. She answered that she didn't know because they had just walked in the house from a trip to Mississippi. She and her two daughters had come over Friday, spent the night with her late husband's niece, and attended the Littlejohn Reunion Saturday. I can't print what I said to her, but she replied that they had come by my house Friday and I was not there. I reminded her they could have called and at least left a message. After all, we saw each other for a couple of hours last December and that is more than she saw the others, so maybe I am a little selfish.
It was good to have Ruth Duggar in Sunday School this week as she has been sick with the "crud" that is so hard to shake. She squealed on her daughter Susan in church so we all sang Happy Birthday to Susan last Sunday.
Ruth also told us that Jo Nell Coker is still in the hospital and is not doing very well at present.
I just talked with Carolyn Roberts and she tells me her son Gary is not doing well. He is in pain most of the time. She said he is to take more radiation treatments.
We had a good day in Church Sunday. Aileene Roberts furnished special music for the early service and Christy Davis did a wonderful job singing for the second service. Brother Mike brought a good message from Revelation Chapter 19. Our choir is practicing overtime for the Easter Cantata which they will perform at the 10:30 a.m. hour Easter Sunday: "In The Presence Of Jehovah."
Patsy called me Sunday afternoon and told me about Gwendy's beauty review at Hernando High School. There were 29 contestants. They chose a winner and six girls for her court. Gwendy did not place. However, Tommy and Rose Vinson's granddaughter, by their son Barry, did place among the six beauties. I believe Patsy said her name is Nicole. The fact that Barry and his wife have a girl old enough for high school reminds me of just how fast time is slipping away.
This Sunday is Palm Sunday and the next Saturday I plan on having the family for a meal and an Egg Hunt. This year is moving on.

French Door Blinds, Window Treatments & Shades
- Consider door shape and position of handles
- Pick shallow treatments that hang close to the door
- 1" wood blinds and roller shades are ideal
- Hold down brackets are good for regularly shut shades
- Choose cordless for a sleek look and easy control
French doors have decorative handles that could interfere with the operation of door blinds or shades, so you'll want to choose a window treatment that is not very deep with an outside mount. If you plan on regularly raising and lowering your shade, go cordless to avoid getting cords tangled up on the door handle while also increasing child and pet safety. If you plan on leaving the shade down, you should select the hold down brackets when customizing your blind. These are installed on the door to keep the bottom of the shade in place.

"Great function, great form"
By None from Honolulu, Hi
Why anyone would use curtains or Venetian blinds or vertical blinds or drapes or any other style of window covering is beyond me. These blinds fit our style. They filter the sun, giving us more than enough light while eliminating hot spots in our Honolulu home. Easy to install, easy to raise and lower, and easy on the eyes, the blinds are a great product.View this product
"Highest quality"
By Karen from Buffalo, NY
I've made the mistake of purchasing roller shades from other online vendors and will never make that mistake again. This is the 4th order I've now placed with Blindsgalore and I couldn't be happier. The light filtering blinds do exactly what they say they'll do - filter light. You get privacy from the blinds but the glow of sunlight behind it. Exactly what we wanted for our living room.View this product

Climate Change Mitigation refers to efforts to reduce or prevent emission of greenhouse gases. Mitigation can mean using new technologies and renewable energies, making older equipment more energy efficient, or changing management practices or consumer behavior. It can be as complex as a plan for a new city, or as a simple as improvements to a cook stove design. Efforts underway around the world range from high-tech subway systems to bicycling paths and walkways. Protecting natural carbon sinks like forests and oceans, or creating new sinks through silviculture or green agriculture are also elements of mitigation. UNEP takes a multifaceted approach towards climate change mitigation in its efforts to help countries move towards a low-carbon society.

There are many components for making a box office hit movie. You need the best actors in the industry, talented producers, creative directors, and last but not least music. Sometimes, the soundtrack for a movie is the most anticipated album release for music fans. Music soundtracks can increase a movie's ratings from good to great. Another similar music feature that enhances a movie is the sound editing and mixing. It is recording music or sound effects for movies and television.
The eighty second Academy Awards were last night and Oscars were given to the best actors, actresses, movie soundtracks, best movie of the year, and there is an even award for best sound editing and sound mixing. It is such an important aspect of a movie, and sound editors are incredibly skilled and creative. They can make an explosion scene rattle your home or theater or make prehistoric animals come to life on an animated movie for example. How can you create sound for a dinosaur walking when there aren't any real recordings? How can you create ocean sounds on the set of a fake beach? These are some of the tasks a sound editor has to accomplish.
Sound editing and mixing has to be done together to be effective and sound good. Sound editors have to create sounds and sound effects that can then be mixed onto the correct places in a movie. Sound editors create the sounds and sound mixers place them in the film. The difference between the two is production and placement. Sound mixers also have the task of finding the best songs for a certain mood or ambience. Movie soundtracks don't include the sound effects, such as explosions, beach noises, walking, etc.; they are a compilation of songs used in a movie. Some soundtracks have pre-recorded songs and others ask musicians to write a song specifically for the movie.
It has become a popular trend for musicians to cross over and also act in movies as well. A lot of musicians that act in films also help to produce the soundtracks. Christina Aguilera's career started to take off when she recording a song made for the Disney movie Mulan. Some bands or singers that aren't well known can become house hold names if they are chosen to be on a soundtrack. The songs that are chosen have the ability to affect the tone of the movie and add emotional value and recognition for the audience.
Sound editing and mixing adds inherent value to a movie and have to be done precisely and require a lot of thought, planning, and creativity. It is a great job to have on a movie set and the audience gets a lot from the effects and soundtracks.

Vases & Flowers
Home decor can always be enhanced by some flora, even if you don't have a green thumb. While cut fresh flowers are a colorful delight, Pottery Barn offers impressively realistic faux blooms that allow you to create a permanent arrangement for your home if you so desire. Our vases and flowers are versatile, letting you bring some freshness into your decor without having to worry about watering and fertilizing. Even if you do enjoy indoor gardening, mixing some vases in with your live plants will add an extra element of decor and can allow you to showcase your outdoor gardening efforts inside when you cut fresh blossoms for an arrangement.
Filled with faux flowers, real blooms or simply standing on their own, our vases make lovely decorative objects. Use them to ornament any part of your home, mixing them with small sculptures, decorative trays, framed photos and art books to create pleasing vignettes on any surface that needs some adornment. From wall shelves to accent tables and even your kitchen or bathroom counter, our vases provide elegance and polished design to please the eye. Pretty enough to display on their own even without anything inside, you can always keep your vases on display with the option of occasionally filling them with fresh or faux flowers and greenery when you want to add some extra panache to a room.
Your living room is the perfect place to keep some of our vases on display. With options ranging from shiny metallics, colorful ceramics and delicately formed glass, you'll find something to fit in with your design scheme. From the glamorous to the casual, vases are a perfect fit for your lounge area. Whether you fill a glass apothecary jar with beach glass and shells collected on your travels or a metallic vase with some of our faux verdure, you can keep your living room looking lovely and consistent with the decor in the rest of your home.
Vases are also a perfect addition to an entry table or console. With a vase and some flowers, you can instantly inject some stately style to your entryway, giving guests and family members something pleasant to look at when they first walk through your door. Grand homes often have large foyers with towering floral displays, but if your living space is more modest, you can still replicate this look on a smaller scale. Just pick out a group of three or more coordinating or matching vases in differing heights and fill them with different faux or real flowers, a variety of different colored stones or any other type of vase filler that reflects your aesthetic tastes.
Dining areas both formal and casual also gain enhancement from vases and flowers. For special occasions, you can create a tablescape centerpiece by using a single vase to anchor an arrangement of votive candles and seasonal decorative items such as glass Christmas tree baubles or small gourds. Fill your central vase with seasonal fresh flowers. For an everyday table ornament, simply fill a vase or two with faux flowers and place them on a decorative tray that you can easily remove from the table if someone needs that space to spread out and do homework or taxes.
Our vases also pair well with accent tables that may look a little lonely. You can create a decorative arrangement with just one vase on a small side table in your living room. If you have hallway accent tables that serve an almost entirely decorative purpose, choose a tall vase to stand in the center or off to one side and arrange other decorative items of different shapes and sizes across the table's surface. This shape and size variety creates a dynamic look that looks both natural and expertly curated.

By M. Scott Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
Readers have called with questions about 79-year-old Tupelo resident Jacque Prather.
A recent story followed Prather's life from birth to age 17. A caller from Jackson said, "What happened after that?"
If you missed the story, visit djournal.com and search for "Prather." One of the top results will be "A Tupelo story: Even in youth, Jacque Prather was a working man."
Space won't allow an exhaustive account, but here's some of the rest of the story.
After high school, he spent six weeks at the University of Mississippi, then joined the Army, where he guarded the home of the commanding general of the Army.
"He came in at 1:30 a.m. He had been to a Christmas Eve party," Prather said. "He called me to him."
Prather got worried when he was told to put his rifle by the door. Then drinks were poured from a bottle of Black Jack.
"He said, 'Me and you are going to have a drink to celebrate Christmas,'" Prather said. "I said, 'I can't drink on duty.' He said, 'You see all these stars on my shoulder? Anything I tell you, you consider a direct order.'"
They drank and talked about Prather making a career in the Army, something he had no plans of doing.
When the get-together ended, Prather learned that drinking with the guards was the general's Christmastime tradition.
"He told me not to tell the next guy," Prather said. "I sure didn't."
Upon his return to Tupelo, Prather gave Mississippi State a try. He even earned a football scholarship from Darrell Royal.
But Royal was fired, and the next coach wanted Prather to earn the scholarship all over again. Prather declined and went to Itawamba Junior College.
During that time, he worked as a lifeguard. That's where he met his wife, Patti. After the marriage, he returned to MSU.
"I did it right this time," he said. "You could say my priorities changed."
He earned a teaching degree, but the best teaching job he found offered a yearly salary less than he'd made doing odd jobs during college breaks.
He was a painter and handyman, then worked for Pepsi. He also ran a restaurant, but eventually landed at North Mississippi Medical Center and became laundry manager. That's where he retired.
Prather and his wife live on 12 acres off West Jackson Street. He has catfish ponds and raises trees.
"I've got a tree from Valley Forge," he said.
Prather had surgeries in recent years. The prolonged recoveries threatened his sanity until he started writing.
His first book was "Memories of the Men of My Youth," a nonfiction account of his early days. He followed that with "For Their Country," a fictional story about American heroes.
Both self-published works are at Lee County Library's Mississippi Room for anybody wanting to learn more about Prather's life and imagination.

Skipper Al Kellock returns to the Glasgow Warriors starting line-up for the 1872 Cup clash with Edinburgh.
Skipper Al Kellock returns to the Glasgow Warriors starting line-up for the 1872 Cup clash with Edinburgh.
Kellock, who suffered an arm injury against Castres Olympique at Scotstoun Stadium a fortnight ago, has recovered in time for the big city derby.
Having impressed last week in the Heineken Cup and with vital PRO12 points up for grabs, Ruaridh Jackson and Niko Matawalu resume their half-back partnership with Peter Horne and Sean Lamont again the centre pairing.
There is just one personnel change to the back line which faced the Top 14 French side last week, with Peter Murchie taking the full-back position and Sean Maitland moving to the wing.
Tommy Seymour, who signed a new contract with the Warriors this week, drops out of the squad with Stuart Hogg covering the back-line from the substitutes bench.
Jonny Gray, younger brother of Scotland star, Richie, is in line to make his senior professional debut after being named on the bench for the match this Friday.
Meanwhile, Michael Bradley will deliberate further on the pivotal role of captain Greig Laidlaw for the derby clash at Scotstoun.
Nick De Luca has been ruled out so James King takes his place at centre while Lee Jones has been passed fit.
Top try-scorer Tim Visser and inside-centre Matt Scott are welcomed back into the backline with ever-present Greig Tonks starting at full-back.
Allan Jacobsen and Willem Nel are preferred to John Yapp and Geoff Cross alongside hooker Ross Ford in the front-row, while Heineken Cup tied lock Izak van der Westhuizen returns to partner Grant Gilchrist.
Form: Glasgow Warriors have slipped to four straight defeats in all competitions but were so close to claiming a notable scalp with their visit to Top-14 powerhouse Castres on Sunday, only slipping to an 8-10 defeat inside the last ten minutes. The Warriors have won three of their last four RaboDirect PRO12 contests at Scotstoun. Edinburgh Rugby have won their last two PRO12 fixtures against Ospreys and Connacht but have not won three in succession in the tournament since October 2010. Edinburgh's only away win since September was 24-23 in Galway on 1 December. Glasgow currently hold the 1872 trophy having gained a win and a draw from last season's festive fixtures with Edinburgh.
The teams:
Glasgow: 15 Peter Murchie, 14 Sean Maitland, 13 Sean Lamont, 12 Peter Horne, 11 DTH van der Merwe, 10 Ruaridh Jackson, 9 Niko Matawalu, 8 Ryan Wilson, 7 Chris Fusaro, 6 Rob Harley, 5 Tim Swinson, 4 Al Kellock (c), 3 Moray Low, 2 Pat Macarthur, 1 Ryan Grant.
Replacements: 16 Dougie Hall, 17 Gordon Reid, 18 German Araoz, 19 Jonny Gray, 20 James Eddie, 21 Henry Prygos, 22 Duncan Weir, 23 Stuart Hogg.
Edinburgh: 15 Greig Tonks, 14 Lee Jones/Dougie Fife, 13 James King, 12 Matt Scott, 11 Tim Visser, 10 Piers Francis, 9 Greig Laidlaw, 8 Stuart McInally, 7 Roddy Grant, 6 David Denton, 5 Izak van der Westhuizen, 4 Grant Gilchrist, 3 Willem Nel, 2 Ross Ford, 1 Allan Jacobsen.

GDB 21: Garon rides the pine
Jason Gregor
November 26 2008 01:46PM
If it wasn't obvious before, it is now. Craig MacTavish has lost confidence in Mathieu Garon. In a move that shocked most, Dwayne Roloson will be starting tonight, not Garon, against the Kings.
Why you ask?
I have no idea. This move doesn't make sense on any level. Roloson got pulled his last time out, and while Garon didn't look comfortable for the first ten minutes in relief, he did look much better as game wore on.
The Oilers had four days of practice, Garon got to see more rubber than he had in the previous weeks, he looked and acted more comfortable and even he gave the impression he expected to start tonight against his former team.
But there was Roloson, first off at practice, and talking openly about starting tonight.
At the start of MacTavish's press conference today, he was asked about Garon, but said he didn't want to talk about the goalies before the game. Later in presser when pushed on it again he spoke about it.
"In talking to Pete about Mathieu he says his game in coming along in practice. It's not just about the game, it's about how Pete sees them (three goalies) coming along in practice. Matty's game is coming around and based on practice he will get a start very soon."
This move is more about just whether Roloson is better than Garon. MacTavish has lost confidence in Garon, and it sounds like goaltending coach Pete Peeters isn't on the same page as Garon.
It was well-documented last season that Peeters wasn't enamoured with Garon working with another goaltending consultant, Lyle Mast. Garon enjoyed working with Mast, and sources have hinted that #32 is no longer allowed to work with him.
If that is indeed the case, then Garon's not playing could be based on more than just stopping pucks.
There is clearly something fishy about this situation.
Garon was great in his first three starts, and then average to below-average in the four since, but he wasn't awful in relief against the Wings. And it's not like Roloson was outstanding in his past few starts. He was okay, but not so great that you wouldn't consider going with Garon.
Many wonder if the Oilers are showcasing Roloson, or plan on doing the same with Garon when, or if, he gets another start. So I asked MacTavish if he ever takes that angle when considering who will be his starter.
"I'm not a fortune teller. It's incumbent on the player to get in there and play well, if he wants continue to play. That's the simple part of it. When the goalies get and play well, like Mathieu did earlier, Jeff did in the middle, and how Rollie has done now. I go by what I see in practice and in the games; it's as simple as that."
Based on those comments Garon must not be practicing well, because he has only played 48 minutes since Nov 7th.
Rarely do I second guess a lot of moves a coach makes, because I don't think I know more than him, but in this case I'm scratching my head.
All the signs pointed to starting Garon. He allowed one goal in 25 shots versus Detroit. He had four days of practice, he was playing his former team, and he hasn't had a start since November 6th, but he will be watching again.
Coaches get paid to win, so if the Oilers win tonight, MacTavish can feel confident in his decision. But this decision has many more negatives possibilities than it does positive ones.
The only positive is a win.
A lose opens him up to loads of criticism, and justified criticism in this case. It leaves Garon wondering more than ever where he fits on this team. It also hurts the team down the road. They need to clarify their goaltending situation sooner than later, and hopefully find a solution that ends what has become a five-year search for a true #1 goalie.
Win or lose tonight, not starting Garon looks wrong.

Torts is applying for a job it sounds like...
November 26 2008, 09:42PM
Torts can have a certain someones job.
November 26 2008, 09:43PM
"sam needs some time in the A."
I disagree. I actually think MacT is doing a good job not criticizing him and continuing to give him ice.
If he had this attitdude a few years ago Michel Reisen could still be sniping in the NHL instead of waxing thighs in Zurich

Smartphone traffic increased 62% last year and will continue to grow rapidly, the retailer says.
Storage retailer The Container Store Inc. has redesigned its mobile commerce site to provide more desktop-like shopping functionality for its growing base of smartphone shoppers, says online marketing director Jessica Coogan. The new features include visual navigation, ratings and reviews, and pop-up overlays that allow customers to add items to the cart or post to social networks without going to another page, she says.
"Knowing that smartphone traffic and sales are rapidly increasing, we knew we had a huge opportunity to provide our customers with content they were only able to view on our full site in the past," Coogan says. "We also wanted to make the mobile experience as personalized as possible."
Smartphone traffic for The Container Store increased 62% in the last year, and today accounts for 18% of the retailer's online traffic; by the end of 2013, the retailer expects mobile commerce via smartphone will account for 2-3% of total web sales, she says. "We anticipate this percentage to grow rapidly over the next few years," she adds.
The Container Store does not include tablets in its mobile traffic and sales numbers because the merchant serves the desktop e-commerce site to tablet shoppers. (Most retailers view tablets as mobile devices and include tablets in mobile commerce figures.) The Container Store, however, plans to evaluate building a tablet-specific site soon, Coogan says. It selected m-commerce vendor Usablenet Inc. to build the new smartphone site.
The redesigned mobile phone site allows the retailer to highlight six campaigns or promotions on the home page at one time, Coogan says. The home page also features a grid of visual icons to represent product categories. "This simple navigational interface allows for a great deal of content to be presented in a visually compelling way," says Usablenet chief marketing officer Carin van Vuuren. Banners on the site also include icons that a customer can tap to bring up the name and price of the product with a link to the product page.
Three new site features—a pared-down shopping cart, ratings and reviews, and social media—make use of overlay technology so that a customer doesn't need to leave a web page to use them. Rather, when she wants to add an item to her cart, read or write a product review, or post a message about a product on social networks, she can do so in an overlay box that pops up atop the page. Once she's finished, she can go right back to where she was on the page.
"Usablenet's technology allowed us to implement features previously found only on our desktop site—such as banners and home page icons—that we can switch out at a moment's notice to constantly provide customers with new items and special deals," Coogan says. "We are pleased with the site's enhanced navigation functionalities and anticipate strong growth in mobile traffic and conversion as a result."
The Container Store is No. 300 in the 2013 Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide and No. 298 in the 2013 Mobile 400. Usablenet provides m-commerce technology for 51 retailers in the Mobile 400. It ranks No. 3 among m-commerce technology providers in Internet Retailer's Leading Vendors to the Top 1000 E-Retailers guide.

about this Product

Coffee and espresso are our passions, here at Whole Latte Love. The pursuit of its perfection has led us to form relationships with and offer products from more than 60 manufacturers. We carry some of the most advanced equipment on the market, from grinders to espresso machines, frothers and more. But, as many coffee lovers will attest, great beverages must start with quality coffee. All the equipment in the world won't be able to help you brew gourmet espresso from charred beans; which is why we introduced Whole Latte Love Signature Coffee as a way for customers to get great tasting drinks at affordable prices.
Malabar Gold
The patriarch of our line of coffee is the venerable and ever-popular Malabar Gold. Created by a nuclear physicist turned coffee roaster, Malabar Gold is easily recognized by its deep, rich crema that can last for more than 20 minutes. This blend of Monsooned Malabar, De Luxe Indian Robusta and select Arabica has been roasted in the light Northern Italian tradition to deliver mellow coffee and espresso with low acidity.
Another fan favorite is our distinct dark-roast espresso, Buzzopolis. This collection of Columbian, Costa Rican, Mexican and Sumatran beans is well balanced and bright. Buzzopolis is celebrated for its smoky flavors of plumb, spice and berry that deliver full-bodied beverages. This blend is smooth enough for espresso, but it is also well liked by cappuccino and latte drinkers as it has the ability to stand out in milk-based beverages.
Whole Latte Love Reflection, is our decaf espresso, brews sweet, well-balanced drinks that won't keep you up at night. It packs decadent flavors caramel and chocolate punctuated by fruity notes. Reflection is a blend of fine Central American, Indonesian and African beans.
Ethereal and Unconditional
For drip coffee drinkers, Ethereal and Unconditional offer unique taste profiles and aromas. Unconditional is a decaffeinated blend of Columbian, African and Indonesian coffees micro-batch roasted for unparalleled results. Unconditional features mouth-watering flavors of hazelnut, toffee and plum with a bright body and medium acidity. Ethereal, on the other hand, is a full-bodied coffee with hints of red wine, spice, chocolate and berry. It is a dark roast that is ideal for breakfast and a great companion for bread and pastries.

Internet access is good in Italy and internet cafes are easily found in most cities and major towns.
Mobile phone coverage is generally very good in Italy. Ensure global roaming is activated before you arrive.
Western-style, flushable toilets are the standard in Italy. Expect to pay a small fee when using public toilets in some parts of Italy.
Cup of coffee = 2 Euro (less if you forego the table and stand up)
A glass of beer = 5 Euro
Bottle of wine in a restaurant = 16 Euro
Small gelato cone = 3 Euro
Drinking water from taps in Italy is considered safe. For environmental reasons, try to use a refillable water bottle rather than buying bottled water.
Major credit cards are widely accepted by stores in Italy. Smaller cafes and shops may not accept credit cards, so ensure you carry enough cash to cover small purchases.
ATMs are common in Italy, so finding one won't be a problem in most towns and cities.
Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip.

It's important to remember that what may be acceptable behaviour, dress and language in your own country, may not be appropriate in another. Please keep this in mind while travelling.
Top responsible travel tips for Italy
1. Always dispose of litter thoughtfully, including cigarette butts.
2. Please ask and receive permission before taking photos of people, including children.
3. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water instead.
4. Try to use public transport wherever possible.
5. Refrain from touching or interfering with ancient monuments, relics or historic sites.
6. Learn some Italian and don't be afraid to use it - simple greetings will help break the ice.
7. Shop for locally made products. Supporting local artisans helps keep traditional crafts alive.

Lucky Craft Flat CB D20 Crankbaits
A new bait from the premier Japanese lure maker Lucky Craft, the Flat CB D20 Crankbaits are a must-have item in any boat. Everyone knows that Lucky Craft has the most life-like color schemes on their baits, and that's no secret. But, imagine that baitfish or crawfish slamming into rocks and brush at 20 feet. These baits are sure to dredge up deep lock-jawed fish that won't hit other baits, but let that CB D20 grind over chunk rock across 15 feet of water on a point and hold on. These baits show utmost perfection and detail that no other company can even come close to competing with.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I bought 10-12 of these crankbaits ten years ago in a variety of colors. I don't do a lot of deep cranking where I fish, but these baits have a very slow wobble that seems to entice strikes when other crankbaits won't produce. They're pricy, so keep plenty of plug knockers with you if you fish deep structure with trees. The hooks are very sharp and I foul hook most the fish that strike the bait.
From: John: Knoxville, TN 10/5/15
Comments: They knocked it out of the park with the Ghost Threadfin color. Well worth the money.
From: JW: Henderson, NV
Comments: Fish were on a jig bite in 18-22 ft but when the 40 mph wind picked up I couldn't hookup from the bites. I knew they were completely focused on the different sunfish. Of course I have other cranks that look like a sunfish but I knew this bait's wiggle was right for that pattern. Putting the baby bluegill in the water and seeing how natural it looks with subtle highlights I had complete confidence it would work in an over pressured semi-clear situation. Thanks for the win on a last minute back up pattern Lucky Craft!
From: MJ: Okc, OK
Comments: # 1 deep diving crank, can't go wrong w/ sexy chartreuse or ghost minnow
From: Jeff: North Jersey
Comments: i love these cranks they really get down quick because of their flat sides and its def somn the fish haven't seen. Along with the unparalleled Lucky Craft colors its my favorite crankbait period. Up here on Lake Erie we have found the ghost minnow tough to beat

This report is a product of IWPR's Student Parent Success Initiative, a multifaceted project designed to share knowledge, raise awareness, and improve public policies to support positive outcomes for low-income student parents seeking higher education.
About the Author
Cynthia Costello, Ph.D., is a consultant and the author of IWPR's report, Opportunities for Low-Income Women and Student Parents in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math at Community Colleges. Dr. Costello has held senior leadership positions at the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, the Radcliffe Public Policy Institute/Harvard University, the Women's Research and Education Institute, and Families USA. Her publications include a five-volume series, The American Woman, and a number of reports on women's issues, economic security, education, employment, health care, and aging issues.
A number of public policy efforts are focused on increasing the number of U.S. adults with postsecondary credentials, and especially degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. Efforts to improve economic outcomes through STEM degree attainment, however, are likely to be much more successful if they address and work to ameliorate longstanding segregation by sex and race in STEM education.
Some of the fastest growing occupations in the U.S. economy are in STEM fields with total employment predicted to increase at a considerably faster rate than the labor market as a whole. While overall employment is projected to increase by 10 percent between 2008 and 2018, some STEM sub-specialties are expected to expand by 20 or 30 percent.
This podcast features Cynthia B. Costello, Ph.D., sharing findings from a new IWPR report on the declining number of women entering the vital and fast growing fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.

What Not to Buy for your Newborn
It's hard to know how to prepare for a new baby, especially if it's your first. A dozen different books and articles will tell you to buy a dozen different things. But how many are actually necessary? Our friends at Inhabitots have compiled a handy list for what you don't need to buy. Check out this list of things that are just too excessive or can be easily swapped for something you already have. What? No changing table? Just convert any dresser by putting a changing pad on its surface with a safety strap. And of course your voice and tender love will prove to be more crucial in that first year than any toy could be. Next, think about swapping out a crib for a co-sleeper. Click to see more items you can do without, a handy guide on how to cut down on overbuying in that first crucial year.

Love Notes
A grand array of objects created by some of the most revered names in design are set to hit the auction block Thursday, September 26th at Phillips in London. The Design sale's and Nordic Design sales's purview stretches back over the 20th century to include masters like Giacometti, Ponti, and Wegner alongside contemporary stars like Tom Dixon and the Campana brothers. T&C walked through the exhibit with the director of the New York design department, Alex Heminway, who spoke about a few of his favorite pieces:
We have a suite by Jean Royère coming from an important New York collector. Royère was one of the great midcentury designers who was forgotten about for a while and then rediscovered at the flea markets by certain French gallerists who became instrumental in igniting his market.
Above: Lot 7 Jean Royère, 'Sculpture' sofa and pair of armchairs, circa 1956. Estimate: $312,000-$467,000
This is a spectacular mirror by Jean Dunand. It was commissioned by Madame Agnés and appeared in her showroom for clients. He is a master of lacquer and in this triptych one side shows classic art deco shapes and the other side, a depiction of St. Agnes.
Lot 37 Jean Dunand, Important and unique illuminated triptych psyché, designed for Madame Agnés, Salon de la rue Saint-Florentin, Paris, 1926. Estimate: $187,000-$280,000
