Comfy boots!
"No fuss boots, slip on, no crazy buckles or tacky straps, just what i wanted"

A boot for many styles
"These boots are a little tight on the ankles when you put them on, so I probably should have ordered a 7.5 instead of my normal 7. Either way, they are cute and comfy. They work well with skinny jeans or leggings tucked in, or with flared or boot cut jeans over them without making the pants bulge out. The only con is they scuff easy. I wore them for a few hours the first time and they had a small nick on the top."

Love them!
"I know I'm going to wear these all the time. After an entire day of walking around in them though, they started hurting my feet, so maybe avoid wearing them for extreme walking distances, but otherwise, I'm going to end up wearing them with skinny jeans, dresses, tights and leggings. Cognac color is great with everything."

Cardamom is a member of the ginger family. Its tiny seeds are encapsulated in small pods about the size of a cranberry; each pod contains about twenty seeds. Ground cardamom is used most often in baking.
Look for rum extract near vanilla and other flavorings in the baking aisle of your supermarket.
We recommend using butter instead of margarine for the best buttered rum flavor.

Conservative MPs opposed to gay marriage look likely to leave David Cameron in a minority within his parliamentary party today despite an 11th hour appeal from the Cabinet's three most senior Conservative ministers.
The Prime Minister is expected to win majority backing from Tory ministers when MPs give the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill its second reading this evening.
But a sizeable majority of back-benchers are expected to use the free vote to reject the Government's Bill or abstain. Mr Cameron was resigned to being outnumbered by Conservatives who felt they could not support it, according to senior sources. Such

Catch'em Caro Mr. Winters Lipless Crankbait
The Catch'em Caro Mr. Winters Lipless Crankbait is named after Catch'em Caro owner and lure designer, Rich Caro's high school wood shop teacher. Mr. Winters was a fisherman in Northern California who fished for all different kinds of fish. If it wasn't for his teaching Rich Caro how to work with wood, there might not be any Catch'em Caro Baits to fish with.
Deadly over shallow weed flats, the Catch'em Caro Mr. Winters Lipless Crank is a slow sinking bait that can be retrieved slowly and still have a great action. It displaces a lot of water, but with a silent stealth, and it's a bait that bass just haven't seen yet. When it takes something different, the Mr. Winters is the call.
Catch'em Caro recommends using a 7' medium-heavy to heavy action rod, and no less than 10lb test line.

Comments: Catch'em Caro Mr. Winters Lipless Crankbait, Delta Craw & Bluegill are a PEACOCK BASS DREAM! Fish for the beast of a lifetime!
From: Wilber: USA 12/18/15
Comments: The Catch'em Caro Mr. Winters Lipless Crankbait is a unique veteran among standard lipless baits. Mr. Winters is a silent, vibrating, bulky enticement that is fun to fish! I throw this lure on 17 pound fluorocarbon, over medium / deep weedlines in the late winter. This time of year has been very productive for me. Change out the hooks to Gamakatsu trebles, and send this soldier back to the battle front!
From: Wiliam: Thomaston, GA 1/23/15
Comments: If your into catching small fish this isn't the bait for you. These completely hand made custom baits cost plenty as does any high quality hand made products and they flat out slay pigs. X Cals are great too and redeyes will catch a ton of small fish. They're also made over seas and mass produced by a machine. If it's some thing differnet you want and big fish you want then you should buy these baits. Oh yea, they also have a life time warranty.
From: Frank: TX
Comments: these arnt that big,yea sure they are bigger then ur normal rat trap but they are perfect for giant donkeys.and like the rest of rich caros lures this thing is built like a tank with quality.im taking this lure with me to mexico in a week and i knw its going to get a great work out.

While aerobic activity is one of the keys to a healthy lifestyle, air pollution and exercise can be an unhealthy combination. This is especially true if you have asthma, diabetes, heart or lung conditions, or lower respiratory disease.
Even when you're not exercising, exposure to air pollution can cause health problems. But with the combination of air pollution and exercise, the potential health problems are increased.
One reason for this increased risk may be that during aerobic activity, you usually inhale more air and breathe it more deeply into your lungs. And because you're likely to breathe mostly through your mouth during exercise, the air you breathe in generally bypasses your nasal passages, which normally filter airborne pollution particles.
Health problems that air pollution is associated with include:
What's not clear with air pollution and exercise is how much exposure is a danger, or how long you have to be exposed.
And because exercise has clear health benefits, don't give up on exercise entirely, unless your doctor has instructed you to. Instead, focus on ways to minimize the risks of the air pollution and exercise combination.
To limit the effects of air pollution and exercise:
Time your workouts carefully. Avoid outdoor physical activity or reduce the intensity and duration of your outdoor exercise when an air quality alert has been issued.
Also avoid outdoor activity when pollution levels tend to be highest, which is often midday or afternoon. Exercising during rush hour also can expose you to higher amounts of pollution.
If you have asthma, diabetes or another condition, check with your doctor about when it's safe for you to exercise.

I kinda see a fishmen joining Luffy's crew very likely. I mean, WB was the one who stopped the racisim and mass massacre on Fishermen Island. Now that WB's gone, as we've seen, his declaration means nothing. Although Jimbei went back to defend it, his words as a former shichibukai won't even have half the effect of WB's. I see the strawhats protecting the island, then maybe declaring their protection on it, and leaving Jimbei behind to defend it, but Jimbei will have his few found first mate join Luffy's crew. It's logical, makes sense, but Oda is unpredictable.
I think a Dragon DF is unlikely, simply because everyone is expecting, and Oda won't do it because of that. I'm not so sure about having a logia join the crew either, especially since Oda hasn't proven that Zoro or Sanji can deal with logia's. Add to the fact that Nami won't be able to hit them on the heads when their doing their comedy gags, it just wouldn't work.

Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone, on the Atlantic Ocean in West Africa, is half the size of Illinois. Guinea, in the north and east, and Liberia, in the south, are its neighbors. Mangrove swamps lie along the coast, with wooded hills and a plateau in the interior. The eastern region is mountainous.
Constitutional democracy.
The Bulom people were thought to have been the earliest inhabitants of Sierra Leone, followed by the Mende and Temne peoples in the 15th century and thereafter the Fulani. The Portuguese were the first Europeans to explore the land and gave Sierra Leone its name, which means "lion mountains." Freetown, on the coast, was ceded to English settlers in 1787 as a home for blacks discharged from the British armed forces and also for runaway slaves who had found asylum in London. In 1808 the coastal area became a British colony, and in 1896 a British protectorate was proclaimed over the hinterland.
Sierra Leone became an independent nation on April 27, 1961. A military coup overthrew the civilian government in 1967, which was in turn replaced by civilian rule a year later. The country declared itself a republic on April 19, 1971.
A coup attempt early in 1971 led to then prime minister Siaka Stevens calling in troops from neighboring Guinea's army, which remained for two years. Stevens turned the government into a one-party state under the aegis of the All People's Congress Party in April 1978. In 1992 rebel soldiers overthrew Stevens's successor, Joseph Momoh, calling for a return to a multiparty system. In 1996, another military coup ousted the country's military leader and president. Nevertheless, a multiparty presidential election proceeded in 1996, and People's Party candidate Ahmad Tejan Kabbah won with 59.4% of the vote, becoming Sierra Leone's first democratically elected president.

"The new Skilled Trades Program will address serious labour shortages that some regions of the country are facing, and will help grow Canada's economy," said Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney.
"These long-overdue changes are part of the government's plan to build a fast and flexible immigration system that is responsive to the needs of Canada's economy. Canadian employers have long been asking for ways to get the skilled tradespeople they need to meet demands in many industries across the country."
The new Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) is designed to target people in skilled trades' occupations that are experiencing acute labour shortages.
Kenney announced the program last month, but at that time Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) was working with the provinces, territories and federal government partners to produce a more comprehensive list of occupations.
As a result, an occupation list was designed to reflect current labour market needs and ensure the program delivers tradespeople in high-demand occupations.
Initially, CIC will accept up to a maximum of 3,000 applications and 43 jobs will be eligible in the first year of the program.
Group A targets 17 jobs with a moderate labour market need. This group has a sub-cap of 100 applications, which includes carpenters, as well as contractors and supervisors for heavy equipment operator crews, quarries and those in electrical and mechanical trades.
Group B has no sub-caps and targets 26 in-demand jobs, including sheet metal workers, structural metal fabricators, ironworkers, welders, plumbers, pipefitters, gas fitters, heavy-duty equipment mechanics and crane operators.
In addition to being qualified for an eligible occupation, applicants must demonstrate basic language proficiency in either English or French at the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level 5 for speaking and listening, and CLB 4 for reading and writing.
CLB 4 is considered basic proficiency, while those with CLB 5 can more effectively participate in and understand routine conversations.
Other criteria include: an offer of employment in Canada or a certificate of qualification from a province or territory to ensure that applicants are job ready upon arrival; at least two years of work experience in the occupation within the last five years; and meeting the employment requirements set out in the National Occupational Classification system, showing that they have performed the essential duties of the occupation.
Employers interested in supporting a skilled tradesperson's application to immigrate to Canada, under the FSTP, may need to apply to Human Resources and Skills Development Canada/Service Canada for a labour market opinion (LMO).
However it may depend on individual circumstances.

Discovering the multifaceted cannibal
HE CONFESSED; admitting to one of the most revolting crimes in Colorado history and in so doing, became a legend. Alfred Packer is frequently the subject of tongue and cheek humor and off color jokes. It all began in February, 1874 when Packer and his companions were stranded in a snowbound wilderness, out of food and far removed from help. According to Packer's confession, his companions were equally desperate and crazed, resulting in the last person standing, Packer himself, gaining notoriety as Colorado's most famous cannibal. He was tried, sentenced to death and later pardoned.
His infamous massacre site is located along the outskirts of isolated Lake City, beneath the east facing gaze of southwestern Colorado's colorful San Juan Mountains; and to this day, still attracting curiosity seekers.
High above the eastern edge of Lake City and the churning waters of the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River rises a sprawling cliff wall composed of compacted volcanic tuff. Topping these cliffs is a broad, above timberline sea of alpine tundra; its name, recalling the grizzly events nearly 140 years ago, The Cannibal Plateau. Geographically separate from the rugged San Juans, this high plateau is recognized by many as an extension of the gentler La Garita Range.
Driving through Lake City for the first time in June, 1978 with the goal of climbing 14,309 foot Uncompahgre Peak, I first noticed those spectacular high cliffs. In the decades to come, whenever passing through Lake City with the intent of climbing more 14ers and 13ers, I always wondered about the land above those cliffs. While hiking-climbing guides provided plenty of descriptions for ascending alpine peaks west of Lake City, I never found any written information about that nearby eastern high country or how to access it.
My curiosity simmered.
Despite the undeniable reality of getting older, my passion for the high country and exploring new places never diminished. Due to my studying maps more intently than in my younger years, I see details more clearly and eventually located the hiking access to the Cannibal Plateau.
Mid-September, 2011
After ascending one of southwestern Colorado's most imposing natural landmarks; 12,706-foot Bristol Head, Kathy and I continued driving northwest of Creede on Highway 149, over Slumgullion Pass, before turning north on Forest Service Road 788 and parking at 464 Trailhead. Topographically, my map indicated an easy, gradually ascending trail walk over a high, rolling plateau, culminating in off trail jaunts up a pair of broadly rounded domes; Mesa Seco Peak 12,740 and 12,800 foot Lake Benchmark.
Lucy Chocolate Lab bounced gleefully and Lily Golden Retriever shivered with excitement, both eager to begin another adventure with us. Golden grassed meadows beckoned us onward as we zigzagged past scattered evergreens and sun varnished cliffs to timberline and beyond. Overhead, the cloudless heavens dazzled us with the deep blue sheen of early autumn perfection. Perfect except for the chill of a brisk breeze; air temperatures requiring gloves, layered clothing, and snug headgear.
We found miles upon miles of empty, yet rich beauty; to our east, we beheld the gentle ridges and peaks of the La Garitas while our westward views celebrated the exciting San Juans. Despite its forbidding name, we felt quite comfortable wandering atop the Cannibal Plateau.
As for the twin domes, less than a mile apart, the illusion from afar was that of two simple, uphill strolls to their summits. Only when up close, more so for the higher second dome than the first, did we realize that it was more complicated. Carefully, we threaded our way upward around scattered boulders and over wide spread talus to a reward of inspiring alpine vistas
Southward lay the shimmering waters of Colorado's second largest natural lake, Lake San Cristobal, encircled by the legendary San Juans. Directly below us, Lake City nestled comfortably in a narrow, subalpine valley. Rising above and beyond Lake City, 13,590-foot Matterhorn Peak and the 14,015-foot Wetterhorn were dwarfed by ponderous bulk of Uncompahgre Peak.
Was it really 33 years earlier that I scaled its snowy summit?
So long ago, yet in my memory, it felt like yesterday. Stretching far to the northeast, the Cannibal highlands met Calf Creek Plateau's undulating tundra and I wondered what was there.
Fast forward to July, 2013
Driving southwest of Gunnison on Highway 149, we turned east on unpaved County Road 58, driving eleven slow, bumpy miles to our 11,000 foot Powderhorn Lakes Trailhead campsite. My guidebook described a four mile hike to the lakes followed by a steep ascent to 12,644 foot Cannibal Benchmark atop the Calf Creek Plateau. This was our hiking plan, but plans frequently leave room for adjustments.
With so much forestland, throughout Colorado, ravaged by pine beetles, we were pleased to find a surprisingly healthy woodlands ecosystem before arriving at a pastoral wonderland. So spacious and welcoming, a lush, open park encouraged us to halt, throw off our packs, and savor its serene beauty.
Unseen hummingbirds zipped around us when Kathy suggested a change to our ascent plans. Rather than hiking first to the lakes, followed by the guidebook recommended steep route to the benchmark highpoint, why not hike cross country west through the climax forest toward the wide tundra ridge rising in front of us? This prime example of why we've become such a good outdoors team over the decades made sense.
Even without a trail, the gently rising ridge, saturated with wildflowers, provided easier walking than the adjacent Cannibal Plateau. Dominating the colorful tundra showcase was the grandest array of magenta paintbrush we've ever encountered. Truly, we walked with beauty. Indeed, the hike was so relaxing that we topped out neat the enormous, pillar-shaped summit cairn earlier than expected.
Leisure was the name of the game on this summit as we observed Uncompahgre Peak and its lesser cohorts play "now you see me, now you don't" with the approaching, monsoon propelled clouds. Storms were on the horizon, but there was no need to rush off the summit.
After devouring her treats, Lucy snuggled contentedly between us as we remembered her departed sister, Lily Golden Retriever, who passed away five months earlier. Lily would have enjoyed this hike and her gentle spirit kept us company.
Shadows swept across the thickly forested slopes below us and over the cliffs of Calf Creek Plateau which doglegged southwestward, eventually joining Cannibal Plateau. Thoughts about Alfred Packer and his victims never entered our minds atop Cannibal Benchmark or on Cannibal Plateau 22 months earlier. Rather, we felt that more fittingly descriptive names would be Peaceful Plateau and Peaceful Benchmark.
More than being a legendary, local history footnote with dazzling panoramas and pleasant high altitude hiking, the Cannibal Plateau is also the site of one of Colorado's most stunning geologic happenings. More than 700 years ago, decomposed volcanic rock, in conjunction with heavy rains, slumped into a massive earth flow off of the Cannibal Plateau's southwestern rim. Over four miles in length, descending nearly 3,000 feet in elevation, and covering 1,000-plus acres, this geologic anomaly, known as the Slumgullion Earthflow, blocked the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River, creating Lake San Cristobal.
Centuries later, a second earth flow broke off the plateau, one that still remains active, presently moving between three and twenty feet annually. Viewed from a turnout with interpretive signs along Highway 149, the top of the earth flow is the same sun varnished cliff face we hiked past in September, 2011.
Detouring off trail on that day during our descent from the Cannibal Plateau's twin domes, we stopped at the cliff edge, looking down upon the mountainside's enormous and dizzying, whitish-gold gouge; the Slumgullion Earthflow as viewed from a unique perspective. Being simultaneously destructive and creative, the unleashed energy of this event must have been both terrifying and mysteriously beautiful. We could only imagine.

If you've been following the saga of hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman versus Herbalife (HLF), the Wall Street Journal's Dana Mattioli and Emily Glazer have a look at the health-products company's network of thousands of distributors. Short version: They love the stuff, and Ackman hasn't changed a thing.
Some haven't even heard that a well-known hedge-fund manager has a short bet worth an estimated one billion dollars against the company:
James Bodman, who became an Herbalife distributor in September, hadn't heard about Mr. Ackman's allegations. "Somebody who has bashed it obviously hasn't tried it," said the 47-year-old who lives in Tamaqua, Pa.
Mr. Bodman works 60-hour weeks as a factory process operator and hopes to make about $400 a week on Herbalife so he can cut back his overtime and spend more time with his family. He said he paid $400 for a starter packet, which includes about $100 of products, and an additional $80 a month for marketing tools including selling scripts and training videos sold by a third party. He has also spent about $150 for advertising, but has had trouble finding customers. "It's starting out slow for me," he said.
Others seem convinced that this is a redux of Barry Minkow's 2008 broadside and various other Wall Street negatives for the company:

By BRUCE WILSONChair, Emery County Public Lands Department
The catastrophic events of the past weeks have touched the communities of Carbon and Emery County deeply. The initial shock of a mining accident and the roller coaster of emotions which have followed leave us saddened, and unfortunately on somewhat familiar ground. Our communities are grateful for the care, compassion and support each of you has shown as the unfortunate events unfolded. At present, we find ourselves grieving with the families of the lost, trying to look to the future now. Following each mining accident, there comes the time when each of us ask the inevitable question, how did this happen? Could it have been prevented?
The recent action taken at the national and state levels are, we believe, natural and expected responses to a catastrophe which has claimed the lives of nine irreplaceable men. We understand that Senator Bennett has cautioned against reacting emotionally and in a knee-jerk manner. We appreciate that caution. As the committees have been formed to review facts and circumstances surounding the events at the Crandall Canyon Mine, we have no doubt that the intent is noble and with the best of intentions. However, we would advance the following cautions in regard to any proposed recommendations by these committees.
Avoid taking an "outside looking in" attitude. It is always easiest to become the Monday morning quarterback and have all the easy answers after the fact.
At the state level, there appears to be an out of balance proportion of elected officials to those with underground mining experience. Seek out the testimony of those with underground mining experience. There is no substitute for hands on experience.
Please don't impose further regulations on this industry just for the sake of "doing something". Underground mining is currently one of the most regulated industries in the nation, for understandable reasons. Reasonable measures addressing overlooked or new safety concerns are always necessary. Redundant requirements serve no purpose.
Recommendations from the committees should be pro-active, preventive measures, not reactive and punitive in nature.
Coal mining and coal fired power generation are under the gun from proponents of alternative energy sources who are prone to argue that accidents such as this are just another reason to scrap proposed plans for coal fired power plants. Such arguments should be outside the scope of the committee hearings.
There are regulatory agencies in place both at the state and national levels. Mine Safety and Health Administration, Office of Surface Mining and the Utah Division of Oil Gas and Mining set standards, permit mining, and are responsible for safe mining plans and implementation of those plans. Mistakes, illegalities, non-conforming practices (if any) will be determined by these agencies. While oversight is necessary, please don't intend for the committees to do the job of existing agencies.
We appreciate your attentiveness to our concerns.

The Emery Spartans took their season record to 10-2 last week with a pair of victories. Emery defeated Carbon High for the second time in the past three games on Wednesday night by the score of 67-45 and then the Spartans started the 2014 region 15 season with a road win against San Juan by the score of 86-68.
This season's Spartan team is very fun to watch as they push the ball up the floor all night long and often leave teams shaking their heads in frustration. It seems like after every defensive rebound and after every defensive turnover that this team is pushing the ball quickly into the front court and more often than not the result is an easy score. It seems as though most players on the team will get out and run with the Emery fans enjoying it and the opponent's fans wondering just what happened.
Throughout the season, guards Dillon Wilstead and Bailey Faimalo have taken turns leading the team in scoring. Wilstead is the fourth leading scorer in the 2-A ranks and Faimalo is right behind in the seventh spot. Dillon has an 18.5 scoring average while Bailey has a 17.1 average. Last week was Faimalo's turn. Bailey scored 19 points against Carbon and then had his best game of the season against San Juan as he scored 31 points.
Against the Broncos, Bailey also had 5 rebounds, 5 steals and 11 assists as he played a very good game. Against Carbon he had 4 steals and 8 assists.
Wilstead was right behind though as he scored 16 points against San Juan and 15 points against Carbon. Against San Juan he had 6 rebounds, 5 steals and 4 assists as he and Faimalo complement each other very well.
Carbon played a good first quarter as they led the Spartans 14-13 at the end of the period but Emery went out in the second period and won the period 19-5 and then never looked back on their way to the comfortable win.
Against San Juan, Emery won the first quarter 15-6 and then the two teams battled evenly through the second quarter as each team scored 25 points. Emery led at the half 40-31. Emery then doubled up the Broncos in the third quarter to grab the win. Emery outscored San Juan 31-15 in the period and led 71-46 after three.
Also scoring for Emery in the Carbon game were Gavin McDermott with 13 points, McKlane Allred with 7 points, Tai Justice with 5 points, Beau Roundy and Kolton Butler with three points each, and Drexler Tanner with 2 points. Tanner led the team with 9 rebounds and Gavin added 7 rebounds.
Against San Juan, Tanner and McDermott each scored 10 points, Allred scored 7 points, Justice scored 6 points, with Jackson Jensen and Roundy each scoring three points. McDermott pulled down 13 rebounds in this game and Tanner added 9. Gavin and Drexler are fifth and sixth in the 2-A ranks in rebounding with neither player usually in foul trouble. Emery will be at home Wednesday night against North Sevier and on the road Friday night at South Sevier.

The list is here, but Miller notes that it doesn't represent the actual future contents of Java, saying: "I have absolutely no inside information on any of this and you should treat it all as unofficial. I'm merely scraping info off the web and collecting it here."
The features Miller has collected information on include: Modularity, Libraries, Swing, JMX, Tools, Types & Generics, Language Proposals, Miscellaneous Language, and JVM.

With billions of sensors deployed worldwide, the amount of machine-generated data will soon exceed what our networks can handle. But consumers and businesses will expect seamless experiences and real-time responsiveness. What does this mean for IoT devices and the infrastructure that supports them? More of the data will need to be handled at - or closer to - the devices themselves.

The Discount Rate
Under the primary credit program, loans are extended for a very short term (usually overnight) to depository institutions in generally sound financial condition. Depository institutions that are not eligible for primary credit may apply for secondary credit to meet short-term liquidity needs or to resolve severe financial difficulties. Seasonal credit is extended to relatively small depository institutions that have recurring intra-year fluctuations in funding needs, such as banks in agricultural or seasonal resort communities.
The discount rate charged for primary credit (the primary credit rate) is set above the usual level of short-term market interest rates. (Because primary credit is the Federal Reserve's main discount window program, the Federal Reserve at times uses the term "discount rate" to mean the primary credit rate.) The discount rate on secondary credit is above the rate on primary credit. The discount rate for seasonal credit is an average of selected market rates. Discount rates are established by each Reserve Bank's board of directors, subject to the review and determination of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The discount rates for the three lending programs are the same across all Reserve Banks except on days around a change in the rate.
Further information on the discount window, including interest rates, is available from the Federal Reserve System's discount window web site. See also the articles in the Federal Reserve Bulletin for July 2002 (51 KB PDF) and November 1994 (75 KB PDF).

High tech carbon nano tubes combined with cellulose as the base material. Organix material will be loaded up with kinetic energy during ball impact and releases it back again immediately.
Volkl Optispot
A visual support to hit the ball in the center of the sweet spot. Highly visual and contrasting optic field helps the eye to focus on the hitting zone and keep your attention on the ball.
Elements of the same color, shape or size, will be seen as one. With Optispot, the contrast between colors on the racket, will form a visual center, which allows the players eye to focus on the center of the string bed and pay closer attention to the ball.
Volkl Bio Sensor and Pin System
Bio Sensor is an active vibration dampening system which provides the player unmatched feel and a 15% increase in dampening. (When compared in lab tests vs the Volkl Sensor Tour Handle System.) BIO SENSOR eliminates vibrations, which have a negative influence on the playability of the racquet.
Starting with the 2014 Organix racquets, Volkl introduces a new Pin System in their Bio Sensor handles. These pins are made of a material called V-Sponse" which has exceptional dampening properties.
There are three different types of pins, each with unique benefits to the target playing audience. The RED PIN is the softest and is great for recreational players looking for maximum comfort. The YELLOW PIN is medium firm and is great for intermediates who want a comfortable but slightly firmer feel. Finally, the BLACK PIN is for advanced players who want maximum feedback.
Volkl V-SponseProvides exceptional dampening and energy return. A uniquely pliable thermoplastic elastomer applied to the Grommets and BioSensor Grip Pin to increase comfort and power! As applied to the grommets, the V-Sponse material creates a "Spring Effect" which snaps the ball out of the stringbed with more speed.
Volkl Super Grommet SystemA grommet technology that combines Volkl's Speed Grommets, which allows the strings to move in all possible directions, with V-Sponse material, which increases the "Spring Effect". The result is a grommet system that provides exceptional dampening and power.

"I ordered these in a 7.5 rather than my normal 8 because I find that sneakers run a little long. The 7.5 was way too big so I re-ordered a 7 and took back the 7.5's to the store. They are definitely funky and that is what I was looking for. They are heavier and kind of clunky than I thought but they are cool!"

Twenty-eight 40-foot buses will replace existing buses in the NICE fleet that have reached the end of their useful life, while five 60-foot buses will be used on the customer's new bus rapid transit line, scheduled to start service in 2017.
The ABB DC fast charger, with the associated systems, is based on the common interface, which allows charging stations and electrified buses from different manufacturers to be used together.

Missy Franklin didn't need to worry about Justin Bieber jeopardizing her NCAA eligibility.
On Wednesday, we shared the story of how the Olympic gold medalist returned a care package from Bieber due to fears that the gift could leave her ineligible to swim for Cal next year.
Not true, says the NCAA.
"We applaud Missy Franklin's commitment to amateurism, but Bieber Fever is allowed under NCAA rules," spokeswoman Stacey Osburn said.
Since Bieber is known to give gifts to fans, Franklin wasn't considered to be receiving special treatment. Thus, there was no violation of NCAA rules.
The pop star sent Franklin the package this summer after hearing she liked his music.
"It was really sweet of him," Franklin explained to ESPN's Wayne Drehs. "But it was considered a form of special treatment that could have jeopardized my amateur status. I've given up way too much and sacrificed too much to keep a Justin Bieber T-shirt and lose it all. So I sent it back."
Take note, Biebs: Missy is back on the swag market and can get all the gifted Believe T-shirts UPS can deliver. Let's just hope she hasn't already moved on to One Direction.

Do all of the manufactures of wall hung toilets have the same bolt pattern to hang them. Our cabin is in snow and freeze country. If we are not careful to drain all the lines when we close up for the winter I have been told the bowl may crack and need to be replaced. Easy enough if we had a standard toilet. Also any secrets on toilet seals for wall hung toilets?

Largest but most sparsely populated of the Central American nations, Nicaragua borders Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south. It is slightly larger than New York State. Nicaragua is mountainous in the west, with fertile valleys. Two big lakes, Nicaragua and Managua, are connected by the Tipitapa River. The Pacific coast is volcanic and very fertile. The swampy Caribbean coast is aptly called the "Mosquito Coast."
Nicaragua, which derives its name from the chief of the area's leading Indian tribe at the time of the Spanish Conquest, was first settled by the Spanish in 1522. The country won independence in 1838. For the next century, Nicaragua's politics were dominated by the competition for power between the Liberals, who were centered in the city of León, and the Conservatives, centered in Granada.
To back up its support of the new Conservative government in 1909, the U.S. sent a small detachment of marines to Nicaragua from 1912 to 1925. The Bryan-Chamorro Treaty of 1916 (terminated in 1970) gave the U.S. an option on a canal route through Nicaragua and naval bases. U.S. Marines were sent again to quell disorder after the 1924 elections. A guerrilla leader, Gen. César Augusto Sandino, fought the U.S. troops from 1927 until their withdrawal in 1933.

Equally important to this ministry area are those who provide support for the regular worship services, as well as special events. From greeters and ushers, to those who prepare beautiful flower arrangements for the sanctuary, to those who provide audiovisual support for our many services, there are many avenues for YOU to become involved.

Update Kate: Celebrating Her Stylish Year as a Duchess
Oh, what's that sound? It's the sound of my inbox dinging with a bunch of e-mails from my friends asking how I could include Kim Kardashian in this week's best-dressed list. It's true. She's a polarizing figure. But while we can debate the merits of her success (from sex tape to reality-show mogul) one thing I will admit is that she looked fabulous in this Chanel dress. And when she and Kanye showed up Chanel Tribeca Film Festival Artists dinner (as I tweeted, it's official: they're called "Kimye" when they're together), it was a sensation.
I don't know if I've been too busy gallivanting around Southern California and Missouri, which is where I've been for the past two weeks, or if she's been in hiding, but I haven't seen enough of Kate Middleton lately. And I sort of miss her. The woman who is breathing new life (and probably saving) the British monarchy always puts a smile on my face. Sure, like so many other fashion folks, I sometimes think her style is a little waah, but she always looks put-together, prim, and perfect. Like she does in this Rebecca Taylor dress at an event in London. Is it a showstopper? Nope. But with that smile — and the ultimate accessory, the future king of England — maybe she doesn't need one.

Data recovery Help!
A friend of mine has a "MyBook" portable HDD full of valuable photos, and other stuff.
He lent it to a friend of his and when he got it back he was not able to open it on his windows PC so he asked me for help.
When I got my hands the HDD, the first thing I did was to connect it to my Ubuntu machine.
To my surprise the HDD was readable. The thing is that the disk had 133MB worth of Time machine configuration files for a MacBook pro.
So, i'm thinking that this friend formatted the drive accidentally to HFS. :(
Is there any chance of recovering the info? Any idea on what program I should Use?

This dude came out of screwing around with Painter and Photoshop to test a few things, but mainly to try to feel like I am still imaginative even though I am drawing Aquaman (no offense to Aquaman, or Aquaman fans. Both of you.)
I started sketching digitally and ran through a bunch of different ideas, erasing as I went- monsters grimacing, mythological action heroes leaping forth- but in the end, they seemed like too much work and I felt pressed for time, so yet again I went with my standard "headshot of a guy with slightly exaggerated features and one piece of vaguely medieval or fantasy costume so that I might feel like a fantasist" approach, and thus we have this. I shall call it "Viking in a Sears Portrait Studio".
I need to work much, much harder on my drawing and stylization. These little headshots, like this viking and the wizard below, although largely bullshit, do serve a purpose in that they are attempts to break out of old habits when constructing a face and head shape. I sometimes like my "go-to" forms, but lately, I have realized that the shapes I am seeing in my head are being lost as soon as I put the pencil down on the paper, like a guitarist stuck on the same patterns or riffs when the music they want to hear is made up of different scales entirely. I am defaulting to "my face" when that's not always the face I really want anymore. The only way out is to force my hand out of those damn invisible tracks my pencil seems so compelled to sink into.
Tune in next time for a druid in front of a wagon wheel.

Wow! I can completely agree about the default face artists sometimes tend to get stuck on. Lately I have been experiencing this as well. It's a hard rut to get out of, but an artist like yourself should have no trouble getting out of it. For me it's my lack of experience, and the fact that I can't draw males.
Anyways, I wouldn't worry about it (if I were you), just experiment with the lines: messy, clean, etc.
Scott :)
PS I would be honored if you came and visited my blog.

You know man, its great to hear you talk online about your stuff forreal.

Oh and if you ever call your work Bullshit of any kind again, i might slap you when i see you again, lol. HOLLA!

Wow, it sounds like you're quite dissatisfied with your work at the moment?
I know just what you mean when you talk about those invisible lines that the pen tries to follow. Like the ruts of a wagon's wheels, they only get deeper the more you travel the same path too :(
You mentioned that "These little headshots ... are attempts to break out of old habits when constructing a face and head shape", from which I assume that you've become dissatisfied with the default look that your drawing produces?
I'd also guess that the drawings you're referring to are largely unreferenced?
In which case, it seems that you're trying to break out of old drawing habits in a very frustrating way. By using only your imagination and memory to create a drawing, you're relying on and enforcing those same habits, but simultaneously trying to correct or change them.
I find that when my drawings get stale, I actually need to stop entirely, and reconfirm what it is I'm trying to achieve with them.
I'll go back and look at my old inspirations, try to find new artists to inspire me, and think about my sort of 'place' relative to everything I love and aspire to in art.
Then when I come back to drawing, I find it best to build things back up from the ground... relying heavily on life reference, so that when I experiment with new permutations of style, I'm building them from the ground upwards, rather than bolting them onto or forcing them out of the habits I have already.
All that being said, the results of your drawings look fantastic to me :) Your work has always been one of the things that ceaselessly inspires me to push mine as far as I can, and it's fascinating to get a glimpse of the process behind your finished work ^_^
Thanks so much for blogging it, and I hope what I've said is some help and not too presumptuous.

Excellent viking dude. Actually, all your work is excellent!
I have to agree with Paul's comments. When I find myself stuck in the proverbial rut, starting from the ground up is the best way I have found to breath some new life in to my artwork.
Hope everything works out! :)
