Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 14 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by CT101 Beautiful Bed Frame I am very happy with my purchase of the Wheatland Iron Bed frame. It came in two boxes. One contained both Head and Foot Boards and the other contained the frame. Delivery was to just inside the front door. Assembly was quick and required only a few standard tools. Once assembled, the bed frame is very sturdy. The finish is beautiful and the design is simple but classic. March 16, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5 by Adoodle Perfect I couldn't get excited about a tufted or upholstered headboard. When I saw this and read the great reviews, I knew this was what I'd been looking for. Waited for a sale and I felt like it was a bargain. Love the great color. September 28, 2013

1 answerWhat color is this "antique rust" really... is it rust / reddish, or a neutral distressed iron color, more black, gray, or brownish, etc?
I've been looking at this bed for a while, but been reluctant to purchase without being sure of the color. I purchased your Eileen Fisher crushed silk comforter in "pale orchid" (kind of a mauve/pinkish-lavendar color) and wondering if it would look good with this iron headboard... if the bed is really a "rust" color / reddish undertones, I imagine it may clash or not look so good with the EF bedding. But if it's more of a neutral toned iron it could work. Your thoughts??

1 answerAre there side rails ?
If so, how high are they off the ground and are they solid iron? What do they look like?
4 years, 9 months ago
Answer:The frame is free standing with its own legs. The head and foot boards screw to it, so when put together it has 8 legs. The frame is 7 ¼" off the ground and made of recycled railroad steel.

George Wythe beats Honaker in state final
The Honaker Tigers have been waiting 12 years for another shot at winning a state championship. George Wythe has been waiting a decade. The Maroons ended their drought Saturday, winning 17-10 in a hard-fought defensive showdown in Salem.
The teams traded turnovers on the first two drives of the game before George Wythe's Justin Snavely gave the Maroons a 7-0 lead with a short touchdown run. A field goal later made it 10-0 in the first quarter.
Honaker battled back to score the next ten points. On fourth down and long, quarterback Ty Hall floated one near the end zone where Payton Ball made the leaping catch for a score.
Before halftime Honaker kicker Makenzie Phillips booted a 37-yard field goal to knot the game at ten heading into the break.
In the second half George Wythe's defense dominated, pitching a shutout.
The Maroons took the lead early in the fourth quarter on a Dominique Crockett 10-yard touchdown run.
The Tigers had one last chance with seconds remaining but George Wythe's Darnell Williams finished the game off by sacking Hall, giving the Maroons a 17-10 win and a state championship.
"Our guys gave us a great effort," Honaker head coach Doug Hubbard said. "Take your hat off to George Wythe they played hard and made a couple more plays than our guys did."
"All the coaches are telling us not to hang our heads," Honaker quarterback Ty Hall said. "But you fall one game short of the state championship, it is rough on you."
It is the second state title for George Wythe.
"We knew what they were doing," George Wythe head coach H.S. Ingo said. "It is kind of hard to hide anything in week fifteen. Our kids made plays when they had to."

"I have to say, these shoes are very comfy to me. I got them for my eighth grade graduation and my mom was very strict about the height of the heel, but thankfully they passed the test. They are almost a 4 inch platform. For me it is higher then it looks in the picture, which is fine for me :). Anyway I love the strap on the back, the sequins are great it adds a little bit of shine when you walk. I can run in these and I don't fall over and break my ankle so they are 100% safe. Now I advise anyone to go to the store to get these because usually I am a 5 and half in other brands but I was a six in this one. I would totally recommend this! It is great ."

"Love the Sperry Brand. Theses shoes are very cute and compliment my navy suits. The sequins are not too blingy for day-time wear. I bought my usual size 9.5 and the length seems just a tad short but I am keeping them anyway. The heel isn't too high for all day wear thanks to the platform. The bow is not quite as fluffy as seen in the pictures which is fine with me. I wish they had the shoe in red too."

Virgin Blue's international subsidiary Pacific Blue will launch its first non-stop service from Melbourne to Auckland this morning treating inaugural Guests to a "Pasifika Style" themed flight complete with commemorative t-shirts, champagne and Pavlova (the sweet treat the Kiwis claim to have invented!).
Pacific Blue announced the new service in July, becoming the first low-cost carrier to fly the route. Commenting on today's launch Virgin Blue's Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said the airline's entry to a new market would introduce additional competition and a new airline choice for travellers.
"Year round the Melbourne-Auckland route is a busy corridor in both directions certainly for business travellers as well as leisure travellers visiting Auckland or entering New Zealand through the Auckland gateway.
"Both cities have an exceptional calendar of major sporting, entertainment and cultural events so we're looking forward to stimulating competition which will encourage more people to fly frequently in both directions," he said.
Today's launch flight will take off from Melbourne at 9.30am (AEST) and touch down at Auckland International Airport to a water-arch welcome at 2.45pm (NZST).
Pacific Blue's General Manager, Commercial, Adrian Hamilton-Manns and Melbourne Airport CEO Chris Woodruff will be at the departure gate to farewell Guests on today's flight.
Mr Hamilton-Manns said Pacific Blue was excited to be offering an affordable travel option for Aucklanders to visit Melbourne. "Melbourne is a hugely popular destination for Aucklanders for business and leisure, and now they can visit this cosmopolitan Australian city without paying a fortune, so it's a wonderful shot in the arm for tourism in both directions."
Melbourne Airport CEO Chris Woodruff said, "We welcome this new Melbourne to Auckland service from Pacific Blue. Passengers travelling to and from New Zealand are our largest market and this new route will help it remain so."
Pacific Blue will be operating one of its brand new Boeing 737-800 Next Generation jets - "Maiden New Zealand" - on today's launch flight.
In recent months Pacific Blue has also announced a range of new routes including Auckland to Melbourne and Sydney, Sydney to Vanuatu, and Brisbane to Port Moresby.
About Pacific Blue, Polynesian Blue, Virgin Blue and V Australia
Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue, along with Australian domestic airline Virgin Blue, operate a fleet of 73 modern Boeing 737 and Embraer E-Jet aircraft flying to 25 Australian and eight international destinations including New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and the Cook Islands. Virgin Blue Group's newest airline, V Australia, is set to commence flights between Australia and the USA from December 2008.

A timeless heel
"I usually shy away from closed-toe shoes because of comfort issues, but this shoe is AMAZING! Very comfy and true to size. I bought an 8, fits perfectly. This shoe is so versatile. It has a unique gray-taupe color that is very neutral and it goes with everything. The black snake-pattern platform is just enough to give this classic style some flare. Love, love, love them."

GRID-Arendal and Blue Climate Solutions today unveiled the redesigned 'Blue Carbon Portal', the world's premier comprehensive community-based website for all matters related to blue carbon. Blue carbon is a concept that advances the sustainable management of coastal marine ecosystems that store and sequester atmospheric carbon, thereby helping to mitigate climate change.
The website is available at: bluecarbonportal.org
Blue carbon ecosystems include mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, and saltwater marshes also important for the vital ecosystem services they provide, such as coastal fisheries, shoreline protection, related eco-tourism and the conservation of marine biodiversity.
The Blue Carbon Portal continues its support to the rapidly growing blue carbon community and international efforts such as the United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) Blue Carbon Initiative. It provides a virtual space to increase transparency and accessibility of information, helping initiatives to connect, share ideas and resources.
Features of the Blue Carbon Portal include:
"As started in 2010, the redesigned portal is intended as a platform for community development and you will see things change and evolve: new contributors, additional links, resources and much more," said Steven Lutz, Blue Carbon Project Manager at GRID-Arendal. "We welcome everyone interested or engaged in blue carbon to participate in the development of this site. If you have a blue carbon story or activity that you would like to see incorporated or if you would like to advertise a meeting or share a new resource we would love to hear from you."

|Dunlop F 3.0 Tour Scores
Get ready for a revolution in Dunlop racquets. The new F 3.0 Tour replaces the Biomimetic 300 Tour with more than just a new name. All of our playtesters agreed the new offering from Dunlop was faster through the air and offered a crisper, more modern feel. The maneuverability was apparent all over the court but really manifested itself on serves, where our whole team loved it. Several of our players would've liked a little more heft for some added plow through, but for the most part this racquet was a crowd-pleaser. Those who have been fans of Dunlop in the past will surely enjoy the added pop and maneuverability. Dunlop's goal to revolutionize its racquet line and make it more suited for the modern game was definitely achieved with this new F 3.0 Tour.
All of our playtesters found the F 3.0 Tour to have a very different feel than Dunlop racquets of the past. Chris loved the new updates from Dunlop. He said, "Quite a departure from the 300 Tour it replaces. This racquet offers a much crisper and faster feel. I found easier access to pace and a much more modern feel. I liked how easy it was to get the racquet through contact. I was finding lots of pace and spin on my shots. The stringbed offered lots of bite and feel with every string we put in it, and I ended up testing this racquet with about five different co-poly strings. My topspin shots were leaving the racquet with good action and that enabled me to swing aggressively without fear of over-hitting. I was getting good spin on my slice backhand, too. I could take an aggressive swing and knife a low, skidding slice."
Troy liked the blend of maneuverability and stability he found from the baseline. He said, "My first impression when swinging this racquet was that it was very easy to maneuver in comparison to the heftier player's racquets I usually play with. Even though this is a lighter racquet than I usually play with, I still found a solid and stable feel upon impact. I found a forgiving sweetspot that allowed me to attack my groundstrokes with heavy topspin. Although this frame felt stiffer than most of the Dunlops I've used in the past, I was pleasantly surprised to feel no awkward vibrations. I liked that there was more power in this frame than previous versions, but I could still control my groundies with lots of spin. I was able to generate deep, penetrating slice, as well as heavy topspin. This is by far the best blend of power and control I have found from the baseline in a Dunlop yet!"
Andy really enjoyed the lively feel off the stringbed on his groundstrokes. He offered, "This racquet felt light and quick through the hitting zone on my groundstrokes, which allowed me to generate lots of racquet head speed. It has a much crisper, livelier, more modern feel than previous Dunlop racquets. The ball jumps off the strings with lots of power and spin. However, on off-center shots the sweetspot dies quickly around the edges of the hoop, and the racquet is not as stable as I would have liked. In addition, I would have liked a little more mass in the head for my backhand slices, because I found them floating long quite often."
Carol was able to feature the versatility in her game. She said, "The racquet provided a very smooth stroke and strike point. I adjusted to this racquet very quickly and felt comfortable and confident in its performance. I found myself mixing the pace and spin on my groundstrokes with ease. This racquet allowed me to be on the offensive, with great power and control. When I needed consistency I was able to maneuver the racquet to provide more clearance and height over the net. I really enjoyed changing the pace with this racquet, which is something I am working on in my game. I found myself mixing in drop shots, angles and slices a lot more often in my point play. The only struggle I had with this racquet was with balls up and out of my strike zone. I felt a little uncomfortable and weak when hitting over some of these shots."
Our testers loved the maneuverability as well as the comfortable feel of the F 3.0 Tour at the net. Enjoying all of these elements, along with a surprising level of stability, was Troy, who said, "I was pleasantly surprised with how stable this racquet was at net. Despite being a bit on the light side of what I typically use, this racquet had a solid and crisp feel. I found ample depth on my volleys, allowing me to place the ball easily near the baseline. Maneuverability was superb, and I found it easy to position the racquet so that I could return hard shots hit into my body. I found enough touch to hit angles and place the ball near the lines with confidence. Although this racquet was stable for its weight class, it didn't have the scalpel-like feel of my Wilson Six.One 95. So although it worked well at net, I would need to add some lead weight to get the stability I want when hitting volleys."
Andy felt that the F 3.0 Tour played well at the net. He offered, "The racquet was very maneuverable and very solid around the net. One of my favorite places on the court with this racquet was around the net. I could punch crisp, clean volleys with good underspin close to the baseline, and the frame had enough touch and feel to give me great control over my soft drop and angle volleys. Since it's on the lighter side it's an easy stick to handle around the net."
Chris felt the maneuverability of this racquet really manifested itself around the net. He said, "I really enjoyed the crisp and fast feel of this racquet at net. I was able to get some good pop on my volleys. Anything above the height of the net could be dispatched with some solid punch. I also liked the maneuverable feel when I had to stretch wide or was faced with a tough low volley. There's still plenty of room for me to add weight to increase the power and stability, as the racquet is a tad light for me. However, I was very happy with this racquet in stock form at the net."
Carol enjoyed this racquet around the net, too. She said, "I really loved the feel on this shot. The ball off the strings felt clean and controlled. I was able to change the pace of the ball easily and be consistent with my volley as needed."
Our whole team felt that the most enjoyable stroke with the F 3.0 Tour was the serve. It satisfied all of Carol's desires on her serves. She said, "I served really well with this racquet. I like a racquet that will give me a little pop and a lot of control on the serve. This racquet met both of these requirements for both my first and second serve. I found myself in an aggressive position after almost every serve."
Chris felt this racquet really allowed him to utilize his spin serving arsenal. He offered, "The amount of pace and spin I found on serve was very good. When going for a flat serve I felt like I was getting solid pace, but it was my spin serves that impressed me the most. I was able to hit both kick and slice serves with good pace. I was finding more angle and I hit way more aces than I usually do with other racquets. I have one of the slower serves among the group of testers I hit with and usually don't hit aces, but with this racquet I was getting several aces every set. I wouldn't say I was upping my top speed, but I was definitely getting more pace on wide serves, and the spin I was finding helped kick the ball away from the returner."
Troy agreed and really enjoyed serving with this stick. He said, "I felt this racquet really shone on serve. I could get a lot of spin and movement due to the maneuverability of this racquet. I found the added pop gave me some easy power when going for flat serves up the middle, and I felt really connected to the ball when going for targets near the lines. The biggest advantage of this racquet, compared to previous models, was the added power, and it still felt maneuverable, which allowed me to get lots of racquet head speed for some easy service holds."
Andy got the perfect blend of power and control with this racquet. He said, "I loved serving with this racquet. It felt super fast through the air, enabling me to generate a lot of racquet head speed. The ball exploded off the strings, and the tight string pattern allowed me to stay really accurate, especially on my flatter serves. Serves and volleys were my favorite shots with this racquet."
The F 3.0 Tour was easy to swing on the return of serve. Chris really felt the maneuverability allowed him to return effectively. He said, "It was easy to return serve because it was so easy to whip this racquet around. I was able to catch up to a lot of fast serves and still direct them where I wanted, even when catching the ball a little late. When I was able to step in and take the ball out in front the racquet responded with ample pace and impressive spin. Even when strung up with a firm poly string, this racquet felt very comfortable and responsive."
Troy liked the firm feel and the ease of swinging the F 3.0 Tour. He offered, "I loved the nice firm pop that I got on my returns without having to take huge rips at the ball. I found I could get good depth on my returns, and the racquet was maneuverable enough that I could flick my wrist if I was stretched out or off balance. The slice backhand return was one of my favorites with this racquet, and I found the 18x20 string pattern to bite the ball and keep it low. My returns were plenty effective with this racquet in stock form, but I feel that adding some lead weight could turn this racquet into a real weapon."
Andy liked the maneuverability but felt the racquet was lacking a bit in stability on the return. He said, "I enjoyed returning with this racquet but would've liked a little more weight in the head for increased stability when I'm stretched wide. I loved the maneuverability, but I might have traded a little higher swingweight for more control and stability, especially when hitting a defensive return. When I tried to chip, unless I caught it just right, I found the racquet fluttering in my hand a bit."
Carol liked returning with this racquet when it was in her wheelhouse. She said, "I felt very comfortable with this shot, as long as I wasn't hitting the ball up and out of my strike zone. I found that I was giving weak replies to kick serves, especially on my backhand side. When the ball was in my strike zone I was able to take the offensive with my return of serve with control and confidence."
Chris - "I liked the spin, control, feel, comfort and responsive feel. This racquet also felt very fast, and that made it easy to find both pace and spin."
Andy - "There's a lot to like about this new offering from Dunlop. I liked how easy it is to swing. It's very solid and crisp feeling, making it feel like a more modern frame. It's super solid around the net, and I felt I could bomb the serve with it, too."
Carol - "The comfort level with this racquet was fabulous. I was surprised that I didn't need to make a bigger adjustment, given the lighter weight of this racquet compared to my Wilson BLX Six.One 95. This racquet helped me mix up the pace and spin level of the ball, which is something I am actively working on. This racquet complemented almost all aspects of my game. I really didn't feel any vibration or shock to my arm at strike point, which is a big bonus for me."
Troy - "I enjoyed the added power, compared to previous 300 Tours, and the great control. The feel is nice and firm, with no jarring effect on the arm."
Chris - "I can't help but want to add a leather grip and some lead tape to this racquet. Even though I liked it very much in stock form, as it offers a crisp, fast and modern feel, I think an old-school leather grip and added plow through would feel great with this racquet."
Andy - "Though I enjoyed the maneuverability, I would put a little more weight on it so that I could have a little more plow through and stability on off-center shots. And although it was lively, this frame almost feels hollow. Maybe this is just another way of saying that I would have liked slightly more heft."
Carol - "My only qualm with this racquet was returning balls hit up and out of my strike zone. I typically like to step in and hit these types of shots with a flat reply, but I found that many of my balls were hitting the net and that my swing felt sluggish. I quickly adapted and replied with consistent topspin shots back, but I didn't feel as confident stepping in and being aggressive with these shots."
Troy - "I would add some lead weight to provide more plow through on groundstrokes and provide a little more stability at net. Besides that, this is an impressive stick."
Chris - "I thought this was an interesting and welcome update from Dunlop. It takes a racquet like the very control-oriented 300 Tour and adds some of the crispness, spin and pace of a racquet like the Babolat AeroPro Drive. I would say the result sits pretty much right in the middle of the two, and players used to older Dunlop racquets will find this one much more responsive. I'd also be looking at racquets like the Head Youtek IG Prestige S, Donnay XP Dual Silver and Wilson BLX Blade 98 if I was interested in this one."
Andy - "This racquet felt a lot like the Wilson K Blade 98. Fast through the air, good pop of the strings, but a little flimsy on off-center hits."
Carol - "I was really surprised how well I adjusted to the Dunlop F 3.0 Tour. The Dunlop is a much lighter racquet than I am used to, but I adapted quickly and felt very comfortable with it. I don't think it needed added weight or any customization to help compliment my playing style. I still prefer my Wilson BLX Six.One 95, but I think the Dunlop F 3.0 Tour is a great Open level player's racquet."
Troy - "I found this racquet to be very unique, providing a feel that I have been searching for but haven't found until now! I feel that this racquet compares well to the Head Youtek IG Speed 18x20, as well the Wilson KBlade 98, which was my racquet of choice for a couple of years. This stick has the stiff feel of a Babolat AeroPro Drive, but the solidness that I typically find in some of my favorite player's frames, such as my Wilson BLX Six.One 95. Add a bit of lead weight to this racquet and I would definitely feel comfortable playing a tournament with it in hand."

Put down Stortini? Put up your dukes
Robin Brownlee
March 08 2008 02:39PM
So, you think you're tough? Sorry, meathead, that's a rhetorical question. I know the answer: in 99 per cent of the cases the answer is no. One knuckle sandwich in the mouth and most guys talking the talk wet their pants and run to momma. I find it amusing, then, when fans wade in on the question of tough guys, making arguments like they actually understand the demands of the job description when the truth is they know jack.
Case in point today was one of our readers taking a poke at Zack Stortini, who got after it with Jared Boll in Columbus Friday. The comment was: "Stortini doesn't fight so much as absorb punches. He shouldn't have to spend time in the penalty box for that… he's certainly not hurting anyone!"
So as not to come off as president of the Zack Stortini Fan Club, I've got to admit I was among the most vocal Stortini critics to start this season, running a close second to Bob Stauffer. Frankly, I jumped on the kid too early and was guilty of piling on. "Huggy Bear" as Stauffer dubbed Stortini, was a clever nickname. So I ran my mouth, knowing better, only to take it back on a subsequent edition of Total Sports on Team 1260.
The beef about Stortini was that when the gloves came off he didn't throw punches. In many cases in his earlier fights, that was true. But if you've followed Stortini this season, you've watched him drop his gloves 20 times and grow into the role. And, let's not forget he's only 22 years old.
Tough guy. Enforcer. Beat cop. There's lots of names for the job Stortini does, but whatever handle you use, it's easily the toughest gig in the game. I know first-hand because, in another life long ago, I did it on the ice and the lacrosse floor. There was nothing about broken facial bones and sore hands I didn't understand, especially since I lacked the ability to ever make a living of any kind at it.
A lot of fans say, "Hey, pay me $600,000 a year and I'll drop the gloves 20 times a season. Put me in there. Let me at him. I'll show Stortini or (insert tough guy of your choice here) how to do it."
Here's a few things to consider and, hopefully, a little insight, before you make a donkey of yourself talking that way.
- Before you start cashing cheques on that $600,000 salary, you'll have to start learning your trade in bantam or midget, at the latest. If you play five seasons from then through Tier II or the WHL, OHL or QMJHL and have 20 fights a season, you'll scrap 100 times without making a dime.
- If you even make it to the junior level it means you were one of the toughest guys in your bantam or midget league. The bad news is the same holds true for every opponent who gives you the nod and says, "Let's go."
- Lose badly two or three times or get your brains scrambled by a right hand you don't see, and you won't even be a seventh-round rumour on draft day; you'll end up being a pipe-fitter or a reporter.
- Make it to the AHL, where you can take a zero off that NHL salary, and now every guy asking you is the toughest guy from his junior team. He's every bit as hungry as you are to punch for pay in the bigs. Make it this far and you've already beaten ridiculous odds.
- Establishing yourself in the NHL means taking on the big boys. If guys like Georges Laraque, Derek Boogaard or Raitis Ivanans don't punch you into a coma, maybe you'll stick around as the 23rd guy on the roster. Again, lose two or three times badly and it's over. Get a real job.
- There are no nights off. Got a busted nose or a cracked knuckle from a tilt in Tampa Tuesday and think anybody cares in Miami Wednesday? Go home to momma, Nancy boy. If you can't do your job just because you're stitched up, spent the day with gauze shoved up your nostrils or because your hands hurt so badly you can't brush what's left of your teeth, find another line of work.
- Hesitate or pull a no-show when somebody runs your captain or your most skilled player because you've got a boo-boo, and it won't be long until somebody says, "Coach wants to see you" and you're back in the minors short a zero again on pay day.
- Every season you stay in The Show, another handful of willing kids will arrive looking to make a name for themselves at your expense. Duck them and you're past it. Lose to them, and eventually you will, it's over.
Say what you want about tough guys like Stortini, but at least understand what the job description entails and respect the odds they've beaten just to make it to the bottom of the NHL pay scale. They deserve that much.
—Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 5 p.m. on Total Sports with Bob Stauffer on Team 1260.
"Every season you stay in The Show, another handful of willing kids will arrive looking to make a name for themselves at your expense."
This is one of the best posts I have ever read on the blogosphere. If "the nation" keeps writing the funny and the brett favre type articles, and Brownlee can say what he has been apparently been holding in for the past 30 years this could become one of the best sports sites on the web.
March 08 2008, 06:27PM
"Huggy Bear" as Stauffer dubbed Stortini, was a clever nickname.
Hmm. I thought that name came from someone in the sphere, but I could be wrong.
Great graphic, Robin. Just don't get sued by Nintendo. Or beat up by Piston Honda.
As a lawyer for the Nintendo corporation I can tell you that we unsuccesfully fought 4,394,295 cases of unauthorized use of game images from Mike Tyson's Punchout in the calendar year of 2007. It severely impacted game earnings of $1.31 during that same year.
Andy: It's entirely possible you're right. Stauffer is of questionable enough character that he could have swiped it and claimed it as his and I'm dim enough to just be mistaken.
This is really an excellent piece Robin. Just excellent, required reading for any bone head that mouths off about NHL fighters. Regardless of how tough they might be in comparison to other fighters in the league, they would turn most of us to sawdust with one punch.
This is why you must mock grown men from the anonymity of the internet or talk radio and NEVER in person people
March 08 2008, 10:17PM
Stealing material doesn't seem like the kind of thing that Bob "Van Wilder" Stauffer would do, now is it?
Andy: Piston Honda was junk. Took me a lot longer to figure out The Great Tiger.
Being an NHL tough is something I'd have no interest in whatsoever.

High winds in Emery County on Sunday resulted in severe damage to the Ferron City Fire Station. The winds peeled the metal sheets off of the roof to expose the wooden roof underneath the metal. Other reports were received of cars being blown around on the highway. A Ferron resident reported she had to hang onto her fence to avoid being blown away. According to the National Weather Service gusts of up to 80 mph were experienced in Emery County. The strongest winds were felt on the southern end of the county. In Ferron in the trailer courts skirting was blown from around some trailers. Local residents experienced a lot of roof damage. Sheriff Greg Funk said warm temperatures and the wind have opened up Millsite Reservoir and residents need to be careful when fishing. There was also some damage to the clubhouse roof at the Millsite Golf Course.
Sheriff Funk reported the high winds knocked out a communications tower on Horn Mountain. Currently the tower is operating on generators as there is a problem with the electricity to the site. Problems with cell phones and televisions have resulted from the tower having difficulties.

By Amanda Schoenberg Journal Staff Writer
Los Lunas resident Kelly Beraun almost lost her son Jaiden three times. The first time was just after he and his twin, Benjamin, were born in May 2010 at 25 weeks. The first time he cried, he popped a hole in his lung and doctors thought he wouldn't survive. He pulled through.
A week later, Jaiden perforated his intestine and was rushed into emergency surgery for necrotizing enterocolitis, a common gastrointestinal problem among premature babies that can destroy the intestines.
Kelly Beraun and her husband, Nicolas Beraun, refused to say goodbye. "We said he could do it, he was a strong little boy and his mommy, daddy and brother needed him," she says. Jaiden pulled through. The third time, two weeks after birth, he developed another hole in his lung. Again, he pulled through.
Although they spent months in intensive care, the twins were lucky, Beraun says. They started walking late, their speech is a little delayed and they have chronic lung disease, but they could have had severe development problems.
Now, as the boys run around in matching plaid shorts, one wouldn't know they weighed less than two pounds at birth. What Beraun and other parents know is that the worry that begins with premature birth never goes away. "Every day in that NICU is a battle," Beraun says.
To help parents facing the same tough road in intensive care, Beraun, along with her friend, Christina Baca, started a peer support group for parents with children in the neonatal intensive care unit earlier this year.
The goal is for parents to have consistent emotional support as they negotiate the NICU and beyond. The group focuses on peer support and Kristin Wallin and Stefanie Luna of Wallin & Luna Counseling Associates in Albuquerque, also help facilitate.
'Our rock'
Baca lost her son, Justus, when he was born in February 2009 at 26 weeks and then developed sepsis 15 days later, an infection that is a high risk for premature babies. He died the next day. The group, Just'Cause, which the women hope to turn into a nonprofit, is named in his honor.
Baca's adopted daughter Lydia was born at 27 weeks, the same day as Beraun's twins. The two friends met in the NICU at the University of New Mexico Hospital.
"They were kind of our rock when we were going through it," Beraun says, about Baca and her husband.
Beraun's group is not the only one offering peer support for parents of NICU babies. Presbyterian Hospital has a group for parents, and the March of Dimes runs three support groups at Lovelace Women's Hospital for moms, teens and dads. Each is divided in two groups — one for parents of NICU babies and one for parents of healthy infants.
While the NICU includes sick babies of all kinds, including those born with abnormalities, most are preterm, says Dr. Andi Duncan, a neonatologist and medical director of Developmental Care and UNM's Special Baby Follow-up Clinic.
In New Mexico, 12.3 percent of babies were born pre-term in 2010, or before 37 weeks, according to the New Mexico Department of Health.
In 2011, 651 newborns were admitted to intensive care at UNMH and 937 were treated at Lovelace Women's Hospital. At Presbyterian Hospital, about 1,000 newborns are treated each year in the NICU.
The rate of premature births has remained steady since 1998, according to the March of Dimes, which focuses on ensuring all babies are born healthy. Beyond risks like prior premature birth and lack of prenatal care, "it is not something we really know how to prevent," Duncan says.
At UNMH, most premature babies are born after 30 weeks. About 3 percent are born before 26 weeks.
Babies born very pre-term, called micro-preemies, stay longest in the NICU and are at higher risk for motor deficits, development delays and conditions like cerebral palsy, Duncan says.
All premature babies have higher risks for those conditions, as well as respiratory infections and feeding problems, Duncan says. When they start school, studies show that about half of premature children have problems with executive function, which includes mental tasks like planning, organizing and setting goals, she says.
While parents have children in the NICU, they are bombarded with information, say Baca and Beraun. Staff also talk to parents about managing expectations. For premature babies, a milestone might be turning down a ventilator so a baby can move toward breathing alone, Beraun says.
"When we were in the NICU one of the most frustrating things was not having any control," Baca says. "It would have been encouraging to have someone support us through being confident in the decisions we were making. We had no idea what we were doing."
Parents may feel isolated and grieve for the normal childbirth they expected, Duncan says.
"(In the NICU) they have a ton to worry about," she says. "Having your baby in the NICU is actually a trauma."
Transition home
Before parents can even take babies home from the NICU they have to learn infant CPR and master oxygen machines.
In the first year of life, parents are advised not to take babies to crowded areas, such as a mall or day care center. A cough or cold can be much more serious for premature babies.
Managing expectations out of the NICU can also be tough, although Beraun says she is grateful for the support she receives from early intervention specialists who visit her at home. All premature babies should receive follow-up care, Duncan says.
Often family members want to help but don't understand how different preemies are, Baca says. She has had people tell her she is lucky she missed out on stretch marks and the final months of pregnancy. Others have told her that every child needs germs and she is simply being overprotective.
In the Lovelace support groups, which are open to parents with babies at any New Mexico NICU, discussions often involve postpartum depression or the decision to return to work, says Brandy Van Pelt-Ramirez, state director of program services for March of Dimes in New Mexico. Groups are run by parents, but social workers attend and offer information about resources like low-cost or free counseling.
For parents, the NICU can become a second home. Peer support can help parents adjust to life outside it.
When Baca returned to her home in Chimayó with Lydia, she was still charting every feeding and diaper change, just like in the NICU.
Old habits die hard," she says. "When you leave the NICU it can be like you're leaving your bubble."
Support groups
Just'Cause, a new peer support group for parents with children in the NICU, meets on the third Tuesday of the month from 6:30-8 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church at 215 Locust St NE. For information see justcausenicu.weebly.com.
Lovelace Women's Hospital has three peer support groups for parents of infants in the NICU. The New Moms group meets Wednesdays from 10-11:30 a.m. The New Teen Moms group meets Mondays from 10-11 a.m. A group for new dads will start again in June and meet Wednesdays from 5-6 p.m. For information call Brandy Van Pelt-Ramirez at 505-429-0480.
The Child Life program at Presbyterian has a support group every Wednesday from 1-2 p.m. in the NICU for parents. Counselors are on hand and activities are provided to connect with infants. Call 841-1264 for information.
Siblings who are not allowed to visit the NICU can spend time with volunteers in Rachel's Courtyard at Presbyterian. March for Babies Walk
The 3.5-mile March for Babies Walk, a fundraiser for the March of Dimes, is Saturday. Registration begins at 8 a.m. at Hoffmantown Church at 8888 Harper NE.

"These look softer in the picture than they actually are, when I received them I was surprised at how rigid they seemed. After doing a try on, the next day I put them on and intended to wear them for a couple of hours and ended up out all day. Very surprisingly, they required no break in and my feet were not tired, they did not rub anywhere and I was concerned at the front and back on the top of my foot. These do run slightly narrow across the widest part of my foot but that will likely just require a bit of breaking in, perfect in the heel and where the arch falls and I sometimes need go to a larger size for that to be correct. Well made plus nice shoe covers for storing and an extra pair of laces."

will be good to pick this up again.. its been years since i played it last
I gather Overhaul games are intending on producing Baldurs gate 3 at some point . There seems to be some confusion whether this will be the unfinnished Baldurs gate 3 the black hound or a totally new game .
So excited for this, and very interested in supporting this team in making this a success so they go on to carry the torch forward with new orginal product that mines the same vein.
Butt kicking for goodness, indeed.

I totally loved this game when it came out on my first PC and i bought it again as part of Forgotten Realms collection.
It's definetely my favourite rpg series of all time but i dont think its worth buying it again unless you have an ipad as the touch control does sound like a good way to experience it again.
Maybe if it has better multiplayer support for the main game i might change my mind.
will it include TOTSC
I'll wait to the day's end when the moon is high
And then I'll rise with the tide with a lust for life, I'll
Amass an army, and we'll harness a horde
And then we'll limp across the land until we stand at the shore
I absolutely loved this game back in the late 90s (I coulda sworn it came out in 97, oops). It is, to me, the closest thing to PnP AD&D that a cRPG has attained.
Why do I say this? Because even though the race and class choices were a little bit little limited (like you couldn't roll a wild mage in BG1 or do a specialist priest for example), it did mainly fit most of the rules, spell descriptions, etc and most important was the open world. There was very little hand holding and very little in the way of directions. Even BG2 was more linear, though not terribly much more.
The first time I played through, I spent most of my game time adventuring in each area, exploring every inch I could. I had already maxed out my levels with hours and hours of play by the time I hit Baldur's Gate and updated my story.
The game was also pretty hard, concentrating more on roleplay characters than characters maximized for their task (Imoen for example did not have an 18/18 dex even though she was a thief).
I am glad to hear it is getting an overhaul, but I am not sure I will rebuy this game. I have still have it on a disc I bought a couple years ago. I also still have the original discs that shipped at release but they are so scratched my drive won't read them.
I do think it is a good way to get people into the game though since I bet the younger crowd have not tried it. In that sense I hope these guys are successful. Perhaps it will influence new developers to incorporate a few oldschool elements that have gone by the wayside with most recent games.
I can't imagine newer games shipping with a story as complex as the BG series or Torment, the high pennacle of cRPG story-telling.

I have one toilet for a family of 5 and I have also had a plummer in to snake all my drains but tonight something is clogging up my toilet. (With 2 kids there is no telling what it is) But I have snaked and plunged for hours and I'm just about ready to a hammer to it. Should I take up the whole toilet and snake it that way or keep plunging?

This is horrid but when my uncle went through chemo, he drew on his eyebrows and wore a wig. Still more natural & convincing than Travolta.ReplyCancel

Ok, Cavalli is disgusting to watch, and I feel sorry for Rosie getting pawed like that, but the guy is 73 and still living in Boner City. I sincerely hope I will be too.

Photo by TonytheTiger. CC-SA. President Obama held his first media Q&A session on Wednesday, during which, he outlined a policy agenda for the beginning of his second term. He said that a proposal for comprehensive immigration reform would be the first item on the table after inauguration day. Obama said he was "very confident" he could pass a bill early in his second term. "We need to seize the moment." He also took the opportunity to reiterate that he would veto any compromise on the 'fiscal cliff' that did not raise taxes on those making $250,000/year or more. Obama hinted at the possibility of compromise, emphasizing that if all the Bush-era tax cuts expired, it would be a "bad thing" that was "not necessary." President Obama met with Congressional leaders today for discussions on reaching agreement to avoid the Fiscal Cliff. Following the hour-long meeting, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner appeared together, a rare occurrence, and pledged cooperation. McConnell said Republicans "are willing to put revenue on the table," while the Democrats said they recognized the need to curb spending. It's likely that the two sides will forge a temporary agreement before December 31 to avoid fiscal contraction, but the agreement could provide a framework for a longer-term overhaul to major programs such as Medicare, as well as major tax code reform. Romney Explains Loss to Donors: Romney said Obama used the "old playbook" of directing specific official policies to "especially the African-American community, the Hispanic community and young people." Several Republicans, especially those with an eye on 2016 including Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, quickly denounced the remarks. "We have got to stop dividing American voters," Jindal said. "I absolutely reject that notion, that description. … We're fighting for 100 percent of the vote." How did the Obama campaign approach the task of ad-buying in an election season with record spending? In the vein of sabermetricians in Major League Baseball, the Obama campaign bought airtime when they would receive the most 'bang for their buck.' That is, when they would reach most of the right kind of voters for the smallest price tag. This meant buying airtime outside of expensive primetime programming, and into daytime TV and stations like the Food Network, Hallmark, and Family channel. Gay voters appear to have been crucial to President Obama's reelection. According to analysis of exit polls by Michael Cohen at Five Thirty Eight, five percent of voters claimed to be gay, lesbian or bisexual. Among those voters, 76 percent voted for Obama. Meanwhile, Libertarian candidates appeared to play a spoiler role for Republicans in at least nine close state-level races. Nancy Pelosi will stay on as House Minority Leader. Meanwhile, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) is stepping aside after two terms at National Republican Senatorial Committee and is on track to become Senate GOP whip. It appears that Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) will replace Cornyn at the NRSC after Sen. Rob Portman said he wasn't interested. Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) will step down from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) has reportedly been offered the job. The editorial refrain, or as James W. Ceaser has called it, the "explanation industry" continued this week with a familiar question: Is the Republican Party destined to lose? Last week, we pointed out that Hispanic voters are trending toward the Democratic party, a dynamic that has Ryan Lizza entertaining the possibility of Texas turning blue. Chris Cillizza points out that regardless of demographics, the Republican party had to sweep nearly every swing state to win--giving them a kind of 'electoral handicap.' Noemie Emery puts a decidedly anti-alarmist spin on the election--saying that it was mostly about timing and the inherent weakness of Mitt Romney. Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) announced he will caucus with the Democrats, giving them a 55-45 majority in the Senate. Meanwhile, former Virginia Republican senator George Allen, who lost the open Senate seat in Virginia to Tim Kaine, said on Monday that he has "no intention of running for office again." President Obama continued his role as 'responder-in-chief' on Thursday when he visited areas of New York hit-hard by Hurricane Sandy, but the release of federal disaster aid has brought serious questions about the long-term sustainability of FEMA. According to Brian Naylor of NPR, the agency is spending between $200 and $300 million per day (of its $7 billion available aid) in the wake of Sandy. The resignation of CIA-Director David Patraeus has set off both legitimate questions and conspiracy theories about how it relates to the election and the assassination of the American ambassador to Libya in Benghazi. President Obama asserted that the sex scandal never jeopardized national security. The legitimate unease about the scandal may have more to do with the thought of replacing Patraeus, who has in the past enjoyed bipartisan support. Texas Congressman and three-time presidential candidate Ron Paul delivered a 48-minute farewell address on the House floor Wednesday. Paul, a libertarian who served in Congress for 23 years, particularly influenced the Republican Party on fiscal matters. He told the audience: My goals in 1976 were the same as they are today, promote peace and prosperity by a strict adherence to the principles of individual liberty. It was my opinion that the course the U.S. embarked on in the latter part of the 20th century would bring us a major financial crisis and engulf us in a foreign policy that would overextend us and undermine our national security. To achieve these goals, I thought the government would have had to shrink in size and scope, reduce spending, change the monetary system, and reject the unsustainable cost of policing the world and expanding the American empire.

It was just what the doctor ordered. The Emery High Lady Spartans played twice at home and ended up with two blowouts as the team finally played well as a team. Emery defeated North Sevier by 44 points on Tuesday night and defeated ALA by 60 points on Thursday night. Final scores in those games were 79-35 and 85-25.
Neither team had an answer for Emery's Taylor Mann. Mann, in less than three quarters of play in each game, scored 24 points against ALA and 23 points against North Sevier. Mann also pulled down eight rebounds in each game and added six blocked shots in the two games.
Against ALA, Mann scored 11 points in the first quarter while sophomore Blayr Jeffs scored 10 points as she made four baskets including a pair of three's. In the second period, Mann scored six points of six straight made free throws while fellow post player Brooke Jensen scored 10 points.
Mann scored seven more points in the third quarter before leaving the game.
After the game Coach Steven Gordon talked to the players, "Good game, good job. The most important thing was that you played hard tonight. You got after them." During the game it showed that the team was not just content with winning, they wanted to play well in doing so.
In the game, Jeffs finished with 20 points, Jensen scored 16 points, Kim Oldroyd scored 10 points, Tayler Jewkes scored eight points, Jessica Murray, Jeridi Price and Laurel Roundy each scored two points and Shailee Stokes scored one point. Emery made 16 of 17 free throws in the game.
Against North Sevier, Emery started fast as they were up 8-0, allowed North Sevier to score five points and then finished the quarter on a 12-2 run. Six different Spartans scored in the quarter. Emery led 20-7 after the first quarter.
Emery won the second quarter 22-8 and led at the half 42-15. Mann scored eight points in the second quarter and 12 points in the half. In balanced scoring, Jeffs scored eight points in the half while Jewkes, Jensen and Whitney Roper scored six points each. Price scored three points.
Emery took the advantage to 63-17 in the third quarter with substitutions then taking place. Mann added another 10 points in the third before leaving the game. Jeffs hit a pair of threes in the quarter to end the game with 14 points. Roper hit a 3-point shot in each quarter to finish with 12 points. Price scored seven points in the fourth quarter and finished the game with 11 points. Jensen scored eight points, Jewkes scored three points and Murray scored three points. Oldroyd made a basket in the fourth quarter.
Emery played Juan Diego in a make-up game Dec. 21, at Juan Diego and will next play at Carbon on Jan. 4, 2011.

Grand Stade Lille Metropole: My new home away from home by Andrew Gibney› 29 Aug 2012
This week our guest blogger Andrew Gibney, founder and editor of French Football Weekly and massive Lille fan, tells us about his trip to Lille's first home match against Nancy at their brand new stadium, Grand Stade Lille Metropole:
Friday, 17 August will be forever remembered by Les Dogues for years to come, as we welcomed our team into the 50,000 capacity, state-of-the-art, long overdue, Grand Stade Lille Metropole.
To give a brief history: When the Stade Grimonprez-Jooris, home of LOSC Lille Metropole for 29 years closed its doors in 2004, the plan was to upgrade the stadium on the same site, but the preservation of a 17th century Citadel, a stone's throw from the stadium put paid to that plan. So LOSC moved into the 18,000-seater Stadium Nord (later known as the Stade Lille Metropole), a temporary fix that was to last 8 years. Many administrative and funding issues later, work finally commenced on the new stadium in the summer of 2010.
At the end of last season the Lille fans gathered one last time in the Stade Lille Metropole to say their goodbyes, to the stadium. The 4-1 win over Nancy was the perfect send off. It had served its purpose and now it was time to bring on the new.
As a LOSC fan living in England, planning is crucial to watching a match, and I wasn't about to miss this big day, so, I eagerly awaited the sale of tickets online. Unfortunately due to funds I had to make do with a seat in the upper-tier but thankfully new stadiums are generally designed to have no bad seats.
Arriving into Lille, four hours prior to kick-off, the smile on my face must have been clear for everyone to see. A quick change at the hotel into my new Umbro Lille home top and I was off to meet some friends for a few pre-match drinks. To my embarrassment, my friend Manuel took much joy in introducing me to all the LOSC fans walking past as his "Scottish friend that has come all the way from England to watch LOSC". The 10 minute journey on the metro seemed like seconds and we all disembarked at the "4 Cantons" station and strolled in the glorious sunlight towards Lille's new home.
I had been in Lille last September, seen some of the building work and had avidly followed the progress of the stadium on forums. But, as the trees parted and I caught my first view of the stadium, it took my breath away. We were home.
Walking over the newly built bridge I saw the Grand Stade in all its glory. Thousands of fans taking pictures, wanting their little piece of history, it was very befitting of the word "Grand" and this was just the outside.
Inside, it was everything we had hoped for and more. Perched in the corner of the south stand, it was the perfect place to take in a game of football and take hundreds of pictures.
15 minutes before kick-off the festivities started with fans holding up the pieces of red and white card that had been placed on the seats. The sea of white turned to a sea of red and then a huge flag covering the length of the pitch was unveiled with the clubs new emblem and the message "Bienvenue dans votre Grand Stade" – Welcome to your Grand Stade!
Finally Lille's first game in the new stadium was underway and the fans were in full voice. Behind the goal you'll always find the "Dogues Virage Est" otherwise known as the DVE. As Lille's main supporters group they always keep the chants and songs going and are always get behind their team.
Nancy did their best to spoil the party, they defended brilliantly as a unit and even rudely scored the first goal in the new stadium through Djamel Bakar midway through the first half! But Lille bounced back through a lovely header from new signing Salomon Kalou. It was his first goal for Lille and the first Lille player to score in the Grand Stade. Kalou will now have an immortal place in Lille folklore.
The game ended 1-1. It was probably a deserved point for both sides with the enormity of the occasion possibly getting in the way of Lille's performance. With the grand opening now out of the way Les Dogues can look forward to building a new future in what is just an amazing new stadium.
Back home in Sheffield, England my thoughts drift to next month when I return to the Grand Stade Lille Metropole, my new home away from home. Whatever I watch from here on will be fantastic but to be there for the opening of a new chapter in Lille's history is something that I will never forget.

Best Summer Dress Sandal
"I bought these in black over a year ago and wear them a LOT. They are by far my favorite every day high heel sandals. They are extremely comfortable and do not rub anywhere. Today (while walking), one cracked. As you can see from the picture, the rest of the shoe has held up extremely well. That being said, I love them enough that I just bought a new black and tan pair."

wile e coyote, first grader
"Dad, Dad! I want to decorate for Halloween!"
Bear nodded. "I think your Mom has some stuff she wants to do...."
"No! I want to take a jack-o-lantern? And put ketchup in it? And then we can run a rope up by the door, so when trick-or-treaters come by, when we open the door...."
"Cass! That's horrible! How'd you like to get all wet when you went trick-or-treating?" I made horrified mother noises and peered in the back, where the fruit of my loins was rolling his eyes at me.
He gave me the duh! look. "I know that. No, we could put a rope up on the roof - we'd put a pulley up there, (and here's where I went into a sort of fugue, thinking 'My baby! Where has mah baybee gone?? He used to be so sweet!).......and then when we pulled it, the water would spill into the pumpkin...and it would look like blood was coming out of it!"
B looked at me. "Where does he get this stuff?"
I fretted. "I don't know! Do you think it's that boy X in his class? I mean, I know he's rough, but Cass seems to like him, and they had a good time this summer on the..."
Bear was shaking his head. "No, Jess. Not that. This pulley idea he's talking about? The way he's described it, it would.......work."

I have a neighbour old enough to know better who rigged a rope between the house and the barn one Hallowe'en and the older kids took turns swooping down it on a pulley, wrapped in a sheet and screaming ghoulishly.
It's a guy thing, he told me as I turned pale.
I promise not to tell Cass.

Excellent! I miss living someplace where we actually have trick-or-treaters. Everyone is too far away now.

It HAS to be a boy thing... my older one gets these crazy ideas all the time, ideas that would work. It's a little scary... thank goodness the little one's too little to collaborate with him!

I always wanted to do something like that when I was a kid. It's definitely the Warner Bros. cartoons. :)
