According to the latest Letter from the Producer, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is likely to enter its alpha testing cycle towards the end of this month. In addition, players wishing to continue playing the current version of the game will be allowed to do so even after the v2.0 goes live later this year. The caveat is that if log ins drop below 30%, the servers will be shut down.
However, we're going to take a look at the login numbers at the end of each month. In the event that numbers drop below 30%, we'll take the servers down again, and decide where to go from there. Expect more details on when the servers will be back online after everything's been shut down. But for now, go and have as much fun as you can before November 1
Read the full Producer's Letter on the Final Fantasy XIV site.
Hehe, alpha testing a launched game. The irony !
But no, yea, the newer version of XIV should be interesting IF AND ONLY IF they decide to release a digital version this time. They didn't for the first release of XIV and it drove a lot of people i know including me insane.
So What Now?
mmorpg team:
The last 14 images are from FF XIV: A Realm Reborn, not FF XIV 1.0.
Where is the FF: ARR board?

From my understanding everyone who already has a copy from FFXIV 1.0 will be getting 2.0 for free... so the way I think they will do this is via Download *Which is only way logically* So I don't see why there wouldn't be a digital release. But, then again who knows...

I am pretty sure it isn't going to be live this year... probably early next year. (Don' t quote me though)
Yeah seriously why we dont get a new forum? This is a new game like the new darkfall so why?
I saw post like this a while ago but you mmorpg staff never answer or do nothing about it...
Why we dont have a new forum already?? geez

|Historic Cultural Resources
Historic resources belong to recorded history. This period generally began with the arrival of western civilization in the early 1800s and continues through the present day.
The remains of early ranches, homesteads, and mining and construction camps are well preserved by the dry environment. Federal laws protect all cultural resources over 50 years old on public lands. This includes buildings and structures as well as trash scatters containing bottles and cans. Traces of early wagon, railroad and automobile routes can be located in southern Nevada. Use caution when exploring mining districts. Never enter abandoned mine shafts or tunnels. It is illegal to disturb historic sites or collect artifacts. Each artifact found at a site tells an important story, allowing archaeologists to discover the activities that took place there. Please help us preserve and protect these sites for future generations.
Antonio Armijo, a Mexican trader, opened this part of the country in 1829 leading the first caravan from Santa Fe to Los Angeles. The Armijo party was the first non-Natives to view the Las Vegas Valley and named it "Las Vegas" which in Spanish translates into "fertile plains." It was named for the lush grasslands surrounding numerous artesian springs. Fremont retraced the path in 1843 and 1845 by following the accounts of these earlier explorers. Maps of Fremont's route were distributed in the east and the route became a popular alternative for travelers wishing to avoid the Sierra Nevada during winter or those headed to southern California. Traffic increased after gold was discovered in California in 1848. The route eventually became known as the Mormon Road due to the number of Mormon settlers traveling from Salt Lake City, Utah to San Bernardino, California.
Mormons founded the first Euro-American communities in southern Nevada. These settlers surveyed a townsite at Las Vegas Springs, dug irrigation ditches, planted crops and constructed buildings. The Paiutes were forced from the more fertile and well-watered areas. Resilient and adaptable, they avoided major conflicts with the settlers by taking advantage of the new resources the Mormons provided such as clothing, livestock and tools. The Paiutes also supplemented their traditional hunting and gathering practices with wage labor.
Nevada's first lode mine was the Potosi located in the Spring Mountains, 25 miles southwest of Las Vegas. The mine was initially worked in 1856 for its lead deposits. Zinc and silver were later discovered and mined in a boom-and-bust cycle throughout the 1920s. In 1868, silver-lead ore was discovered at the Yellow Pine south of Potosi, but the silver content was too low to be profitable. Prospectors continued to locate and develop lead deposits in the area and the mining camp of Goodsprings soon became a permanent settlement. Gold was discovered in 1892 at the Keystone mine and lead-zinc deposits were also discovered and developed. In 1905, the extension of the San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake (SPLA&SL) railroad to the town of Jean seven miles east of Goodsprings stimulated further development of the district.
Southeast of Las Vegas, mining at Eldorado Canyon (Nelson) and Searchlight became established during the 1860s. These areas were remote and lawless and never attained the cumulative output of the Goodsprings district. Gold was discovered at Searchlight in 1897 on an earlier claim and the district was established in 1898.
Las Vegas was little more than a ranch until 1904 when construction of the SPLA&SL railroad from Salt Lake City reached the desert oasis and brought development to southern Nevada. Bustling construction camps moved southwest with the rails until the last spike was driven connecting the line from Las Vegas with that portion of the line extending from Los Angeles. Rail travel opened previously isolated areas and stimulated the development of towns along the line. In the early 1930s, another boom hit Las Vegas with the construction of Hoover Dam. Unemployed workers flocked to the town to find work during the Great Depression. Temporary camps housed workers in what would become Boulder City and Railroad Pass.
Historical sites in the Las Vegas Field Office management area include: the Old Spanish Trail, as well as mining camp remnants in Searchlight, Crescent and Arden.
BLM doesn't disclose the location of cultural resources unless the site has been properly developed for public visitation.

It's official: Jackie Bradley Jr. makes Red Sox
NEW YORK John Farrell told Jackie Bradley Jr. that he had made the Red Sox while the team flight was en route to New York on Saturday night.
"At 35,000 feet, he couldn't jump any higher," Farrell said. "I think he kind of sensed it all along."
Bradley will start in left field on Monday against the Yankees. He was given No. 44, a nice improvement from No. 74 in spring training.
"He improves our outfield defense," Farrell sad. "He showed a very consistent approach at the plate. A lot of people want to target the batting average in spring. In our evaluation it goes much deeper than that. When you see the consistency of at-bats he put up, feel like the strength in his mental approach will handle some of the distractions that will ultimately be thrown his way. One of the better players we had in spring training."
Bradley hit .419 in 28 games during spring training with a .507 on-base percentage and a .633 slugging percentage. Farrell said the idea of keeping Bradley took root halfway through camp once they saw him play. David Ortiz's injury created an opening.
"Our intentions were for him to start the season in the minor leagues," Farrell said. "But I didn't want to put a ceiling on the guy."
The Red Sox designated Mauro Gomez for assignment to make room for Bradley on the 40-man roster.
The Red Sox also placed LHP Craig Breslow (left shoulder tendinitis), LHP Franklin Morales (low back strain), and David Ortiz (right Achilles tendinopathy) on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 22.

Gold-mining stocks — not the bond market — may surprisingly be the most sensitive barometer for traders' Federal Reserve worries.
Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) dug itself a fresh five-year low Monday. The ETF is down 4.7% to $21.24 this afternoon. Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ), representing small, more speculative companies, is down by 5.6%.
Trading is extreme in the leveraged-mining ETFs, where Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (DUST) and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) are moving by nearly 14%.
The catalyst: Today's economic data. BTIG strategist Dan Greenhaus called this morning's manufacturing data — which climbed to the highest reading since 2011 — "stunning." He meant it in a good way — meaning "bad" for precious-metals:
Given the relationship between the index and broader growth and given its statistical reliability, our view that growth will pick up in coming months is validated by today's data point.
SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), reflecting bullion prices, is down 2.2% on Monday to kick off December's trading. Gold's price is coming off the worst November loss in 35 years.

Compare Bentley Garages and Specialists in Farnworth with Who Can Fix My Car.
Arranged for CB Autos to attend my property to do a diagnostics check. Took time off work and waited in all morning and never showed up. No phone calls or communication, terrible customer service!! Don't waste your time with this site!!!
No problems initially - great communication to arrange a diagnostic, turned up on time and spent an hour checking electrics and locks. However, he then didn't call the following day to provide a quotation to do the work as arranged, and no response to my text. If you don't want to do the job, just say so - it prevents a delay in getting the job done and wasted money for a diagnostic that I'll have to pay again to someone who will actually finish the work! Maybe useful if you just want the diagnostic to then do the job yourself but for the vast majority of us, don't bother.
Wasn't open when arrived and didn't contact me, disappointed and wasted journey
Carl was brilliant, cost was as per the quote and car is running well. Would recommend
Outstanding service from Carl at CB Auto. What a great experience, not having the car break down - that was stressful - but the knowledgeable and swift help from CB Auto. Carl knew instantly which part had failed just from listening to the engine. I'm an instant fan. Carl and CB Auto will be taking care of my vehicles in future.
Top garage nothing to much trouble
Car was picked up and dropped off Job well done
Didn't fix problem then tried to recharge a extra 500 would not recommend or work with this garage again.
Yeah good people they collected my car and fixed it and brought it back to me my car is an old car so i wasn't paying a lot for repairs but very happy and would recommend cheers guys and girls
Very good garage, highly recommended.
My engine sometimes started, sometimes didn't. A & A came the same morning and carried-out diagnostics. The problem wasn't immediately apparent but he persisted and found that the wire from my battery to my starter motor was in the process of breaking. He soldered a new section of wire into place on my drive (not easy without my van ramped-up) and the problem has not recurred,
Job done, thanks!
Spot on, would definitely recommend.
Has not cured the problem. Waste of payment. Has been parked up. As it easy still doing the same as before they worked on it. Dissapointed
After initial speedy response to diagnose the fault they couldn't be bothered doing the job I won't be using this site again go to your local garage this site is full of cowboys
Excellent. Fast and friendly, price was as quoted and the best around. They also sourced me some tyres at a better price than I was going to pay. Even washed my car!
Head gasket gone, Two injectors broke, glow plug broke stuck in head. Xmas time, head needed skimming and pressure checked he still got it done on time and polished the car, and brought it back to Wales for me. Matt cheers bud goes like s+it off shovel.
decided to cancel after being laughed at for sending a message to confirm date and time for my brake bads to be fixed. sounded like a joke of a company so not worth the risk
Highly recommend Bolton Timing Chains, Full service carried out and you can really tell the difference after the service. Thank you.
Absolutely spot on, very friendly and best price by a mile. Definitely recommend and will be my garage of choice from now on
New clutch and back box for exhaust. Fixed in less than 2 days! Works much better can't argue with the price, would definitely recommend!
Very friendly service and it was easy to book in. Took my car the same day. Kept me well informed too. :)
Very professional company. Please take nd helpful staff. Would definitely recommend nd use them again.
Friendly, accomodating and reasonably priced. Clutch specialists and so did not wait for parts etc and great job done at a great price!
good promt service n on time
Well what can I say these guys are amazing. They were the only garage that would take on the job of rebuilding my engine after a breakers yard supplied a faulty engine. I drive an MG ZT that are prone to Head Gasket Failiure every garage i called wouldnt too touch it. It was no problem for these guys to rebuild the engine. Their after service is amazing and can assure you won't be disappointed. These guys are not fitters they are mechanical engineers that know their stuff. After having my head gasket done previously by a garage that only lasted 3 months these guys gave me a 12 month warranty which in itself is reassurance. You won't be disappointed.
Thank You!!!
Diagnosis, a new ABS sensor with fitting all done within an hour. Fantastic service and value. Can confidently say this is now my go-to garage.
Great and friendly people. Got the job done. would recommend to friends and family and anyone who wants a great service at a very cheap reliable price. Thanks guys.
Never do reviews for anything but 6/5* for Silvio and the boys went there straight away got offered tea or coffee did diagnostics found the problem 10 other garages couldn't!booked it in for another day after we got part and Silvio fitted without any hassle plenty of problems to but Silvio sorted it!highly rated garage!!

Summer grilling season is officially upon us, but if your old grill isn't up to another season of barbecuing — or you're just looking for an excuse to by the shiny new grill of your dreams — maybe it's time to upgrade to a brand new grill. Whatever your needs, there's a grill out there for you, and we'll help you find your perfect grilling match.
Portable / Tabletop Grills
For small space or a small budget, portable and tabletop grills provide a great option. A portable grill is easy to fold up and put away if you don't have the space to keep it out all the time, which makes them an ideal companion for anyone with limited outdoor space. Tabletop grills are the smallest, but they'll require a picnic table or other stable surface to set them on to work.
For pure portability, consider the Coleman RoadTrip LXE, a gas grill that folds for easy transport if you're camping, roadtripping, or tailgating. It offers 285 square inches of cooking space with grill, griddle, and stove grate options, making it a great multipurpose cooker. For a tabletop model, the Weber Q 1000, a portable gas grill is a great choice with 189 square inches of cooking space.
Charcoal & Gas Grills
For the charcoal grill enthusiast, the Weber One Touch Kettle grill is an ideal backyard barbecue companion. Though all models are compact, you can pick up this kettle grill in 18.5" (with 240 square inches of cooking space), 22.5" (with 363 square inches of cooking space), or 26.75" (with 508 square inches of cooking space. With a 10-year warranty, these grills are sure to keep going for summer after summer. If you'd rather have the simplicity of a gas grill, the Weber Q line is a larger version of the tabletop grill mentioned above but with 393 square inches of grilling space.
If these grills aren't enough for you and you're ready to spend a bit more for your summer grilling extravaganza, take a look at the Weber Genesis line for an excellent gas grill with plenty of bells and whistles or the Big Green Egg, a charcoal grill and smoker.
Whatever you're grilling and wherever you're grilling, one of these great barbecues is sure to be a perfect match for your summer cooking needs. So get ready to start enjoying this summer out on your back deck or patio!

Dekalb junior Courtney Bemis verbally committed to the University of Wisconsin to play volleyball, according to a press release sent by DeKalb athletic director Bryon Houy on Monday morning.
Bemis follows in the footsteps of her older sister, Emily, who plays volleyball at the University of Arizona.
The junior outside hitter helped lead the Barbs (29-9) to a third consecutive regional championship this season.
Bemis was a Northern Illinois Big 12 East Honorable Mention pick last season as a sophomore and was 1st team All-Conference her junior year. She was also named to the Daily Chronicle All-Area Second Team as a sophomore in 2011.
Bemis plays club volleyball with the Kane County Juniors.

Fix Version/s: 2.0.2
Component/s: Block: Contact form
Affected Branches:MOODLE_20_STABLE
Fixed Branches:MOODLE_20_STABLE
The "User contact" block is the new release for moodle2 of the "Contact Form" block for moodle 1.x
Moodle is completely different and the name of this block too.
This block allows student to email the teacher of a course. If there are multiple teachers, the student gets to select the teacher(s) to send the email to. Copies are cc:d to the further hidden or visible recipients.
The version for Moodle 1.8 added the ability to include a hidden recipient.
The version for Moodle 1.9 added the ability to send return receipts, and moved the cc: and hidden recipients to roles.
The Contact Form block has been in existence since at least Moodle 1.5.
This block has had many contributers, from Daryl Hawes in Moodle 1.5, Daniele Cordella in Moodle 1.6, Matt Campbell in Moodle 1.7 & 1.8, Valery Fremaux in Moodle 1.8 and Daniele Cordella in Moodle 1.9 and 2.0
Because of this new release I ask for the access to contrib/plugins/blocks/user_contact
Gliffy Diagrams

- Comments

- Activity
- Links Hierarchy
Am testing this on 2.0.1 and it is failing.
It installs OK, and I can setup the block in a course.
But when I click on the "Contact Us" link as a student all I get is a 500 Server error. Can anyone else replicate this?
Any ideas when this might be fixed? Is anyone active on this tracker issue? Was hoping to use it for a site about to go live.
Julian - I've added the code to CVS but will want to come back and sort out how we will handle tracker, documentation, etc. so that folks will be able to find the expected resources. Peace - Anthony
Dear Anthony.
I sent a copy of userwindow to Julian last friday asking for feedbacks.
In Italy we say "No news means good news."
So I am here to share the updated code with the fix to the problem rised up from Julian.
Dear Julian
Please let me know if the new code works and if you find more issues.
Thanks both in advance.
Daniele - OK, in order to keep things straight, I would suggest creating a separate Moodle Docs page for the userwindow block and add a link from the contact form block's original doc page(http://docs.moodle.org/en/Contact_Form_block) to the one for userwindow. Similarly, I think it may be best to create a separate Modules and Plugins entry for userwindow and you can have a link to the contact form block's M&P entry (http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=854) and vice versa. Let me know if you need anything else. For now, I'm going to go ahead and resolve this as fixed. Feel free to comment as needed. Peace - Anthony
p.s. - I believe you have general access to contrib. Currently I am not able to modify CVS users as everything will be eventually moving toward git.
Daniele - Just changing the issue description so that it says block instead of module. I'll leave it to you to make Docs and M&P entries. It looks like Matt Campbell added the contact form block's M&P entry so you may want to contact him about making the change. Just send me an email, Moodle message or post here the URL of the M&P entry and I'll happily review it. Peace - Anthony
Daniele - I will leave it to you to take care of Docs and M&P entries. Let me know if I can be of any help. Peace - Anthony
Ciao Antony
following our conversation I start by submitting the renamed version of the block. Its last (and definitive) name is user_contact.
I submitted a new M&P record as well. As already said, I was not alble to link the zip package.
Please, complete my M&P submission with the attached zip file.
Please also delete the old user_window folder from CVS and create the new one for this block.
I am going to add the documentation page for this block too.
Thanks for your contribution.
Daniele - I've added the files from the zip file to CVS. Let me know if you have access. I'm rushing on this in between classes so please double check what I've done. Peace - Anthony
Ciao Antony I have a question that does not belong to this specific tracker issue but is more general, I suppose.
I added the code of this user_contact block, in zip format, to this tracker issue.
You, kindly, added my files from the zip file to CVS.
Now I would like to point the zip file from within the "Modules&Plugin" database. I am talking about the form available (with correct permissions) in http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=4513.
Which URL am I supposed to write in order to link user_contact.zip file?
Maybe I should write something like: http://download.moodle.org/download.php/plugins/blocks/user_contact.zip but I can not guess it. I believe a general answer should be provided not only here but, mainly, in moodle documentation.
Thanks in advance.
Daniele - Your guess about the download URL was correct. We just had to give it time to be created. Any changes made to CVS can take up to 24 hours for them to be included in the next build of the zip file. The URL you gave is now working since the file has been built. Thanks for your patience and let me know if you have any other questions. Peace - Anthony
Ciao Antony
As far as I can understand, the folder http://cvs.moodle.org/contrib/plugins/blocks/userwindow/ is obsolete and useless.
You created it because of this same issue (
CONTRIB-2562) because of my fault when I started calling this block with a name that I no longer like.
Userwindow has never existed so it has no 1.x branch. Because of these reasons I believe it can be safely removed.
On the same topic, may I ask you to add a new project for "user contact" in http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB to redirect user's issues. I will point it from the page of "user contact" in Modules and Plugins (http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=4513).
3. please, add a new forum in Using Moodle http://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=5 to discuss about this new contrib block, too.
Thanks in advance for your time and support.
i installed the block on moodle 2.3 but i get an error
PHP catchable fatal error
Ciao Irith
I am not sure if user_contact works in moodle newer than 2.1
I am sorry, I still love that block but, at the moment, I have no time at all to upgrade it too.

Will the undearly departed Fullbringers qualify as Shinigami as they are right now, or maybe they could develop an inner being and become shinigamis later.
Any thoughts?

*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

Chiefs injury report: Wednesday
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Sep 12 2012 6:34PM
A new week and a new team to monitor with injuries in mind.
The Buffalo Bills are up against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week Two of the season, and their opponents have a couple of key defenders limited in practice as the week begins. Starting nose tackle Anthony Toribio (ankle) and cornerback Brandon Flowers (foot) were not able to take all the reps expected of starters on Wednesday.
Other Chiefs' players limited on Wednesday include defensive end Allen Bailey (ankle), safety Kendrick Lewis (shoulder) and cornerback Jalil Brown (groin). Rookie wide receiver Devon Wylie did not participate due to a hamstring injury.
Check back on Thursday for the next set of updates.

While there is some comedy thrown in every now and then the show is still built around strong character development and serious undertones. They're not even close to reaching Teen Titan levels of humor, which while I enjoyed doesn't entertain me quite as much as a mature story with growing characters like Young Justice does.
From what I've seen so far it's got all the makings to be as good as Justice League was, maybe even better. Kid Flash and Superboy have already gotten my attention, but the entire cast is just as likable. Gonna be keeping tabs on this one, and thanks Cross for keeping us all up to date with the latest info and such.

Equity Compliance & Title IX
Yeshiva University has a long-standing commitment to equal opportunity and affirmative action. We apply every good faith effort in achieving nondiscrimination and equality of opportunity in employment and in all spheres of academic life.
All University-wide decisions with regard to faculty, staff and students are based on equitable and equally applied standards of excellence. Unlawful Harassment procedures have been established, both as a legal obligation under applicable law and as a visible and formal expression of institutional policy.
The University's policy is designed to insure that recruitment, hiring, training, promotion, and all other personnel actions take place, and all programs and activities involving students, both academic and non-academic, are administered without regard to race, religion, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, veteran or disabled veteran status, genetic predisposition/carrier status, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or citizenship status as those terms are used in the law. In addition, this policy is designed to maintain a work and academic environment free of harassment and intimidation.
Unlawful harassment includes harassment based on race, religion, color, creed, age, national origin or ancestry, sex, marital status, physical or mental disability, veteran or disabled veteran status, genetic predisposition/carrier status, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other basis made unlawful by any applicable law, ordinance, or regulation.
Unlawful harassment may be found in a single episode, as well as in persistent behavior. Sexual harassment (and sexual assault) is a form of unlawful harassment.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), defines sexual harassment as: "Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when (1) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment, (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual, or (3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment."
Yeshiva University is committed to maintaining an environment for learning and teaching that is free of unlawful harassment. The University has adopted a policy of zero tolerance with respect to unlawful harassment as being antithetical both to the academic values of the University and the need for a work environment that is free from even the appearance of unlawful harassment or coercion. The University strives to provide a place of work and study free of harassment, intimidation or exploitation. Where harassment has occurred, the University will act promptly to stop the harassment, prevent its recurrence, and discipline and/or take other appropriate action against those responsible. Unlawful harassment in any form is a violation of University policy.
The responsibility for the University's affirmative action/equal opportunity and anti-harassment policy lies with all associate and assistant deans, chairpersons, department heads, directors, administrators, managers and supervisors in their areas of responsibility and requires the commitment of the entire University community. Administrative and investigative responsibility has been assigned to the University's Diversity & Affirmative Action Officer.
If you have any questions relating to equal opportunity, affirmative action or if you wish the University to pursue a possible violation of the policy, you should contact the University's Diversity & Affirmative Action Officer, Ms. Renee Coker at (718) 430-3771 or a member of the University's Panel on Unlawful Harassment. The Office of Diversity & Affirmative Action is located on the Einstein Campus, 1300 Morris Park Avenue, Belfer Educational Center for Health Sciences, Room 1206, Bronx, New York 10461.
The Diversity & Affirmative Action Officer, Ms. Renee Coker, has also been designated the Title IX Coordinator for the University and is responsible for ensuring University compliance with Title IX of the Higher Education Act of 1972 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education program and activities.
When warranted, the University will take appropriate corrective action to remedy all violations of this policy, up to and including termination and/or expulsion. Where appropriate, the University may also report discriminatory conduct to licensing boards. Yeshiva University prohibits any form of retaliation against any employee or student for filing a bona fide complaint or for assisting in a complaint investigation.

"Love these shoes!! They run just a touch narrow because of the taper toward the toe, but they do stretch to fit over time. If you want the classic wingtip look but don't want to wear your Dad's shoes, these are for you. The shoes become more comfortable over time, just be patient! Overall the Delmont Oxford delivers the perfect blend of "I'm a grown up" with a "I'm not from NYC, I just dress like it""

"Beautiful, quality-made loafers as you'd expect. Definitely run very large (I'd estimate a size down) but knew this from another pair I'd successfully exchanged for a smaller size.Other reviewer is correct: the chocolate color is definetely more like a dark caramel than the very dark brown shown in the product description."

By HARRIET BISHOP
Well, I don't know about you people, but a few weeks ago I was trying to survive the electricity blips and blurbs that happened all night. I call the electricity going off and on every minute or so, blips and blurbs. It tried but finally it went off for about an hour in the middle of a snow storm which brought us about two inches of snow. Ten minutes to 10 it went off for an hour.
Now I suppose I should appreciate the fact that it was only an hour and I do. I appreciate that I had a couple of blips and blurbs to warn me so I could gather up all my stuff and get ready for the bigger picture. A lot of people just went to bed and slept until it was over but that is a little hard for me to do. I use an electric lift chair and an electric bed so the lesser of the two evils is my chair. I wasn't ready to sleep yet. So I gathered my lamp, and my reading material and water etc. just in case things got worse. They did.
Now when the lights go out I cannot get out of my chair until they come back on. I can handle it but I don't like it. Ever notice when the lights go out it is more black than the ace of spades? You are suddenly thrust into this quiet blackness. Makes me feel vulnerable. Heat goes off. Computer goes off. Everything stands still. Snow swirling outside your door. It makes you feel grateful that you are on the inside and not out there in the cold. You grab your flashlight and blankets and settle in thinking it won't be long. Then the half hour stretches into 45 minutes and you are not sure if they have declared war or not. An hour is a heck of a long time.
I held my shaking dog because she did not like the flash light at all. We kept each other company. Made each other brave. My cat kept running around growling at every sound he heard and thought it was up to him to be the 'watch cat.'
Finally light restored. Sleep comes. Next morning you decide all is well and began to dig out. Put everything away, so to speak. Not so! Half way up from being lifted out of my chair, electricity goes out again. Only difference is you can see. Thank goodness I was up enough that I could get out of my chair. Spent the next two hours with the TV going on and off and the electricity going on and off every five or ten minutes at will. I never did find out what had caused all of this. It was annoying.
You would think with power plants surrounding us that we would be the last people to lose electricity. Not so. We are the first. Always has been. Always will be I guess. A friend of mine just moved here from Provo and said that the lights went out more on Sunday and Monday than they had in the two years he had lived over the hill. Progress? I don't think so. Here in Emery County having candles and flashlights handy is part of our every day life. Oh well, that's my world. Until next time here is a little fact to remember, "The electric chair was invented by a dentist."

Summary: Tom Kraeutler from The Money Pit demos eXact Color Caulk. Whether you're sprucing up rooms for holiday guests or refreshing a space with the latest shade, give your project a perfectly matched finish with eXact Color Caulk. Designed to be mixed with whatever paint color you're working with, eXact Color Caulk provides long-lasting sealing that allows you to paint first, then caulk.
TOM: Hey, it's home improvement expert Tom Krauetler from The Money Pit. If you've ever tackled a painting project, you know that one of the final steps is to caulk all of those joints and seams so you end up with a nice, neat finished product. But with caulk available in only a limited number of colors, that is not always easy to do.
eXact Color Caulk is a neat solution. It will deliver a perfectly matched finish every single time. Let me show you how it works. So the caulk starts in this tube just like this, and it's sort of in a liquid state, so it's not thick. And then what you do is you take this syringe and you draw off any color paint you want to mix it with, and you add it to the caulk tube. And then the last step is to add the activator.
Once you mix the activator, the paint, and the caulk together, it totally gels, and it becomes a very nice, long-lasting, high-performance caulk. And by mixing the eXact Color Caulk with whatever paint color you're using, you're going to get a long-lasting seal that matches your project precisely every single time.
eXact Color Caulk delivers a super elastic sealing that's not going to crack or pull away from seams or trim, windows, doors, or even siding. It's perfect for rounded or accent walls, and it makes for a great quick fix when paint bleeds through the painters tape. It can also be mixed with latex, wood stains, and metallics, and it dries to a flexible finish that sticks and stretches and stays.
You can find eXact Color Caulk at Ace, True Value, and other independent hardware stores, as well as Amazon.com. Learn more at exactcolorcaulk.com.

Jack D. Smothers, 81, Galatia, died Monday, Jan. 7, 2013, at his home surrounded by family and friends after a short illness.
Visitation will be from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 11, 2013, at the Clancy-Gernon Funeral Home, West Kankakee Chapel with funeral services at 11 a.m. Saturday. Burial will be at Aroma Park Cemetery, Aroma Park.

Seven Douglas County School District employees were honored for their work during the eighth annual Apple Awards on Feb. 23. The event, held at the Sheraton Denver Downtown, celebrates the best of Douglas County School District and honors not only teachers but support staff and administrators.
• Honored as DCSD's 2013 World-Class Educator was Russell Loukes, a language arts teacher at Mountain Ridge Middle School in Highlands Ranch.
Loukes is known for his sense of humor and innovation. Co-workers say he constantly searches for and finds new ways to engage students. This top award includes $15,000 that will be used for improvements in Loukes' classroom.
• Shannon Tafoya, of Sedalia Elementary, was named Elementary Educator of the Year.
The fifth-grade teacher is dedicated to giving students access to technology and teaching them how to use it effectively. While learning about the planet, students in Tafoya's class investigated the impacts of Hurricane Sandy, inspiring one student to propose a schoolwide fundraiser for hurricane victims. Tafoya also worked to put iPads in the hands of all her students.
• Shawndra Fordham, a teacher at Rock Canyon High School in Highlands Ranch, received the Secondary Educator of the Year award.
Fordham teaches biology, honors biology and introduction to biotechnology. She also is an adjunct professor at Community College of Aurora. She helped developed Rock Canyon's biotechnology program from a one-semester elective to a full-year course for which students can receive three college credits. The program's success led to last year's creation of the Biotechnology Club.
• The Early Childhood Educator of the Year award went to Leslie Gresham of Parker's Pioneer Elementary.
Gresham is an early childhood special educator at Pioneer's preschool with a self-described passion for teaching young children with autism and significant emotional delays. She focuses on developing social and other skills that allow those children to self-advocate and develop to their highest potential. Gresham is known for forming longstanding relationships with her students' families.
• Karen Johnson, of Castle Rock's South Ridge Elementary, earned the School Employee of the Year award.
Johnson is an educational aide at South Ridge, but has a diverse career background that includes mechanical engineering, retail and senior care. She weaves in stories of those experiences during her work with students. She also is a tireless volunteer, having led both Boy and Girl Scouts troops, coached Odyssey of the Mind teams, and coordinated volunteers for the Douglas County High School band.
• Douglas County school nurse consultant Celia Flanigan was named Administrative Employee of the Year.
Flanigan is part of the district's severe brain trauma team, which works to protect children who've suffered concussions. She's also worked with children who have long-term debilitating diseases as part of DCSD's Child Find service, which provides free development assessments for children under 5.
Flanigan's job brings new challenges every day, "whether she's helping a student with their newly diagnosed diabetes or arranging for homebound services for a child that is receiving chemotherapy," according to a DCSD press release.
• The DCSD Administrator of the Year award was given to Karen Tarbell, principal at Parker's Cimarron Middle School.
Tarbell, who plans to retire in the spring, has a long history with DCSD, working as a math teacher at Cresthill Middle School and the nine-year principal of Sierra Middle School before taking the lead at Cimarron. As both a parent and educator, she has a special place in her heart for middle schoolers, and a keen awareness of the unusual emotional, social and physical issues they face.
The Apple Awards is a fundraiser for the Douglas County Educational Foundation.

Zaha Hadid's Spectacular Leeza SOHO Tower, Shanghai
via designboom.com
on 16 February 2017
One of four projects underway by Zaha Hadid Architects and SOHO China, the Leeza SOHO Tower promises to be a striking addition to Shanghai's skyline. Currently under construction, when complete the building will reach 207 meters high, and boast the world's tallest atrium—some 190 meters tall. Not only will it stretch the 46 stories of the Leeza, the atrium has also been designed with a twist, ensuring heaps of natural light no matter the time of day or season. Read more at designboom.
SpaceX is Taking Regular Passengers to The Moon Soon
via gizmodo.com
Two non-astronauts with the desire to get lunar and a "significant deposit," are the initial people SpaceX will be taking to the moon next year—according to founder Elon Musk. While the cost for the commercial space trip hasn't been officially announced, nor the travelers' names, it's sure to be somebody with some seriously expendable cash. Carried by the company's Falcon Heavy rocket, two humans will take the galactic trip in the Dragon 2 spacecraft and have tales to tell that regular folks won't be able to beat.
The Death of Fashion in Harajuku
via qz.com
For 20 years now photographer Shoichi Aoki has documented street fashion in the hyper-stylized Tokyo neighborhood of Harajuku. Despite the neighborhood's small size, its impact on Japanese culture has been expansive—especially in fashion, where it made popular bold, colorful and cartoonish sensibilities. The area and its occupants have changed, however, with mass-market clothing brands dominating. This has led to Aoki's pronouncement that street-style photography here is dead, and with it, Aoki's longtime magazine documenting it, FRUiTS.
Medical Marijuana and Mesothelioma
via mesothelioma.net
Whether used as an alternative treatment or for relief from pain or nausea, people suffering from mesothelioma sometimes turn to medical marijuana. The intense vomiting that chemotherapy can induce is sometimes enough for patients to give up on the possibly life-saving treatment, which is just one of the many reasons a push for legalizing cannabis is so important in almost half the states in the USA. For people living with mesothelioma in particular, mesothelioma.net is a useful hub of information and hope.
New Planets Are a Google Doodle
via twitter.com
The news that NASA discovered an exoplanet system some 40 light-years (235 trillion miles) away from Earth—three of which are in the habitable (or Goldilocks) zone—was a big deal yesterday. Never a company to be too late to the party, Google created a very cute Doodle celebrating the seven planets. With Earth, our moon and each of the "new" planets having their own, sweet personality, it's a playful animation that reminds even the most jaded among us that a discovery like this is ultimately exciting, sparking endless curiosity.
Campaigning for a Permanent Bowie Memorial in London
via dazeddigital.com
Crowd-funders are hoping to raise a whopping £990,000 for a permanent David Bowie memorial statue in London. The campaign, known as "This Ain't Rock'n'Roll," is planning for a three-story red and blue lightning bolt statue—honoring Bowie's iconic Aladdin Sane character—to be erected across from the Brixton tube station. It would be the first Bowie sculpture since his death, and fall upon the same road as artist Jimmy C's Aladdin Sane mural. The campaign has until 21 March to raise the money necessary, for what is certainly a worthy cause in tribute to an artist who changed the lives of many.
Japanese App Locates the Closest Vacant Toilet
via mashable.com
Japanese telecommunications company KDDI has created one of the most useful apps ever—especially for people with small bladders or small children. Not only does the app locate the nearest bathrooms, it also lets users know if the toilet is vacant, thanks to sensors on cubicle doors that alert when they are open or closed. While testing is happening in office buildings first, if it's successful it will be used in public spaces like shopping malls, stadiums and train stations. Read more at Mashable.
Color-Changing Hair Dye, Made by a Witch
via dazeddigital.com
A data visualization scientist and witch, Lauren Bowker has invented a hair dye that changes color. Just one of the many magical creations she's developed at her material exploration house, UNSEEN, the dye was officially unveiled at London Fashion Week. Hair that's been treated with her dye changes when the pigment is heated or cooled. Bowker's dedication to the occult and to science has resulted in a fascinating field, and she says, "To me, chemistry and science is witchcraft—and so it should be." Read more at Dazed Digital.
The Dot Braille Smartwatch Ships Next Month
via mashable.com
South Korean start-up Dot will begin shipping their Dot smartwatch in March of this year to 100,000 customers (40,000 more are on the waitlist and can expect delivery in 2018). The timepiece has been under development since 2014 and the most recent snag came from durability tests. Foregoing audio prompts, the Dot watch displays four braille characters on its screen. A wearer can reply through two side buttons. The watch can receive smartphone information by way of Bluetooth—texts, notifications, directions—and translate to braille. This piece is only a portion of what Dot has in mind to aid blind or visually impaired people, with a tablet also in the works, made in partnership with Google.
Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Rooms' More Accessible Option
via artsy.net
For the "Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors" exhibition at the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC, a major addition has been made to the works, allowing even more people to experience their wonder. The ramps that enter into the LED- or pumpkin-filled mirror wonderlands are considered to be part of the piece itself. Thus, they cannot be modified in any way as the pieces tour museums—and unfortunately, they are not wheelchair accessible. To make the art available to those with disabilities, the Hishhorn staff have translated all three of the rooms into virtual reality experiences—just as immersive and dazzling as the rooms themselves. Headsets and Samsung S7 Edge phones will be provided to visitors of the exhibition for those unable to enter.
3D-Printed Coral Could Save Our Endangered Reefs
via cnet.com
Jacques Cousteau's grandson Fabien Cousteau believes that synthetic, 3D-printed coral might be the thing to save our endangered reefs. According to CNET, "In nature, coral reefs are made up of calcium carbonate skeletons where tiny organisms called polyps take root" and these polyps grow their own reefs too—but only at one centimeter per year. That isn't fast enough to keep up. Cousteau's belief (or hope) is that 3D-printed calcium carbonate skeletons will encourage growth just like the real deal. The Fabien Cousteau Ocean Learning Center has already started experimenting with the clever coral.
Joynout's X-Shaped Daydreaming Seat
via design-milk.com
Inspired by the infinity symbol, Daydream is an x-shaped seat designed by Tel Aviv- and Milan-based Joynout and produced in Italy. Employing minimalism, bright colors and sculptural sensibilities, the seat has been imagined to allow for one or two people (facing each other) to relax in an inclined position, legs extending outward and upward. Two cushioned panels, featuring Kvadrat textiles, interlock for assembly. Daydream will premiere at this year's Salone del Mobile in 10 colorways.
Sir Winston Churchill's Musings on Alien Life
via theverge.com
From a recently discovered essay, drafted in the 1939 by Sir Winston Churchill, it has been revealed that in addition to being kept up to date on all scientific research of the time, the revered politician also mused on the existence of extraterrestrial life. Churchill believed that because of the vastness of the universe, there must be many suns with many planets that could potentially house life. This was well before the discovery of exoplanets. Coupling scientific reason with substantial fact—from the importance of water to an understanding of the habitable planetary zone—Churchill makes quite the case. It's assumed that the Prime Minster had intended to publish this essay, which would ultimately get donated to Fulton, Missouri's US National Churchill Museum.

A lot of Christmas sewing is going on here. I can't wait until next week's "Sewing Christmas" to show you a special gift I made for my husband. He's seen me working on it and I can't wait to share it with all of you!
I got out my favorite Christmas quilting book last week and got started on a new project. I love working with the colors of Christmas.

Sponsored Top image from The Dark Knight Rises.The Dark Knight RisesHere's a new TV spot that ties in with the ongoing NBA playoffs. [Coming Soon] Here are two promo posters that will be used for the movie's tie-in merchandise, as opposed to marketing the film itself, which might explain their rather unconventional look. [Trends International]Blade RunnerNow that Ridley Scott's Blade Runner follow-up is officially a sequel and original screenwriter Hampton Fancher is on board to help develop the story, Scott felt ready to reveal this small but crucial bit of information: Advertisement Advertisement I started my first meetings on the Blade Runner sequel last week. We have a very good take on it. And we'll definitely be featuring a female protagonist.That pretty decisively rules out Harrison Ford starring again as Rick Deckard, although it doesn't preclude a cameo or supporting role. [The Daily Beast]Ender's GameCo-producer Roberto Orci discusses the visual influences of director Gavin Hood (who previously did X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but try not to hold that against him): Advertisement One thing I can tell you is that Gavin Hood is a gigantic Stanley Kubrick fan, and it shows. And yet, in some of the Zero G battles, things are going on that Kubrick never had a chance to tackle. The technology and advancements in film making available to us allowed us to realize a vision that is totally unique and modern while also being, as Harrison Ford calls it, one of the most emotional science fiction movies he has ever seen.He also has some glowing praise for Hood's script:This is the first movie with a pre-existing fan base I have worked on that I didn't write. This means I that got the chance to evaluate the material merely as a fan. Gavin's script made me jealous, but it was also a relief that he had satisfied what I would want as a fan from a difficult adaptation. Also, I have never worked with so many talented young actors who became friends so fast under such amazing circumstances.[First Showing] Advertisement Advertisement Here's some more from Orci:The relationship between Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) and Ender (Asa Butterfield) is key to the movie's success. Graff would love nothing more than to be Ender's friend, yet Graff can't always show it because he has to make it clear to Ender that in the event of another alien invasion, there will be no one available to help him. Their relationship is simultaneously heartbreaking and fun...Like the book, the movie Ender's Game is about young protagonists dealing with one of the most adult situations known to man: WAR. We don't soft peddle it, yet we don't shy away from the fun of being in space and learning amazing new skills that we would all want to learn at any age.You can read the rest here. [/Film]Last Days On MarsX-Men Origins: Wolverine actor Liev Shreiber and Dollhouse's Olivia Williams will star in this sci-fi movie about the first mission to Mars, which — like 99% of movies about the first mission to Mars — ends in disaster.

But what should have been the discovery of the century rapidly turns to horror when one of the astronauts has a fatal accident. With just hours to go until the relief crew arrive, the group is faced with a desperate struggle to contain the infection and survive.Principal photography has begun on LAST DAYS ON MARS starring Liev Schreiber (Salt, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) alongside Olivia Williams (The Ghost Writer, An Education), Romola Garai (One Day, Atonement), Elias Koteas (Shutter Island, Crash), Tom Cullen (Weekend), Goran Kostic (In the Land of Blood and Honey, Taken) and Johnny Harris (Snow White and the Huntsman, This is England 86).

I think this season we really dealt with Nick's individual journey, specific cases of these creatures. Going forward, we're going to see a more macro-world order, and figure out Capt.

Catherine would have been killed too, but someone – or something – saved her. No one has ever believed her, but she knows it wasn't an animal that attacked the assassins…it was human. Years have passed, and Catherine is a strong, confident, capable police officer, working alongside her equally talented partner, Tess. While investigating a murder, Catherine discovers a clue that leads her to a handsome doctor named Vincent Keller, who was reportedly killed by enemy fire while serving in Afghanistan in 2002. Catherine learns that Vincent is actually still alive and that it was he who saved her many years before. For mysterious reasons that have forced him to live outside of traditional society, Vincent has been in hiding for the past 10 years to guard his secret – when he is enraged, he becomes a terrifying beast, unable to control his super-strength and heightened senses. Catherine agrees to protect his identity in return for any insight he may have into her mother's murder. Thus begins a complex relationship between Catherine and Vincent, who are powerfully drawn to each other yet understand that their connection is extremely dangerous for both of them.You can also check out a full cast list at the link.
