I like this stripey Ralph Lauren number. It is sophisticated, sporty and take-me-to-the-Hamptons friendly. The subtle cinched detailing on the side, slant front pockets, slight puff shoulders, and a tailored, slim fit, really makes what could have been an ordinary denim jacket into an interesting, feminine piece. I would, however, more than likely throw this railroad striped (it's not seersucker) jacket over my favorite white Polo shirt, because you would definitely find me getting cozy at a tennis match here in Los Angeles. One of these days, I'll make it out to Wimbledon or the U.S. Open, so I can be casual cool and rub shoulders with celebrity tennis watchers like fashionable couple Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen, who showed up at the French Open. Oh to be young, stylish and beautiful!

HELPER - Arvid "Arv the Arvster" Nielson, age 61, passed away peacefully at his home on July 7, 2011.
He was born on April 13, 1950 in Upland, Calif., to Arvid A. Nielson, Sr. and Nellie Hills Hartman Nielson.
Arv had a good upbringing, graduating from his hometown of Chino, Calif., in 1968. In 1971, he graduated from Chaffey College and later attended University Cal Poly in Pomona, Calif., for a year plus. For several years he traveled seeing four continents, 29 countries and 42 states, all west of the Mississippi at least twice. While hitch hiking back to California, Arv stopped in Price in 1975, moved to Helper in 1977 and bought his current home in 1978. For the last 33 years Arv worked several different jobs before retiring from the Union Pacific Railroad in Green River, Wyo. After hiring out for the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad in 1978, he also worked several years for the Utah Railway Company, all as a carman.
Arv found time to pursue many hobbies including playing softball, basketball, and restoring his 1966 Chevelle Malibu, 1950 GMC 100 truck, and his 1995 Harley Heritage Softail.
"Thanks for everything and my last words to the grandkids; I love you and promise me you will get your Masters Degree on me."
Arv's greatest joy was found in being a husband and partner of 25 years to Tonia; stepfather to Darryl Smith, Michelle Saez, and Tracy West; a doting grandpa to Erica Howard, Xander Saez, Jordan, Katelyn and Carley West; sister, Christine (Terry) White, Newberry Park, Calif; two brothers, Gene (Paulette) Hartman, Sedro Wooley, Wash, Jerry (Sherry) Hartman, Riverside, Calif; and many loved nieces and nephews. Arv also leaves behind an abundance of friends who enriched his life and a very supportive church family for whom he was grateful.
Arv was preceded in death by his parents.
Vigil service, Tuesday, July 12, 2011, 7 p.m., Mitchell Funeral Home. Family will receive friends at Mitchell's Tuesday evening from 6-8 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be Wednesday, July 13, 2011, 10 a.m., St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, in Helper. Committal service, Mt. View Cemetery.

College decision-making and financial considerations
These are the decision-making months that try the souls of both parents and seniors. While students wait for the thick envelopes from Admissions Departments, parents are hoping for even thicker envelopes from Financial Aid offices. Most colleges will be sending out these financial awards – grants, loans and scholarships – during the month of March. In March and April colleges also ramp up the competition for your student by phoning or by sending letters from Alumni, tee shirts, lanyards and bumper stickers. With any luck they will also be sending additional offers of financial aid!
Most colleges and universities grant you until May 1st to make your decision and to send in your housing deposit. Check closely for your deadline in the acceptance letters your student received. Try to have your student make his/her decision during the month of April. You don't want to be stuck sending multiple, non-refundable housing deposits because your student hasn't yet made a decision.
While your student may be concerned about where his or her friends plan to attend school, your job is to bring a little financial reality into the picture. This is the perfect time to review finances, both yours and your student's, and to review the guidelines that you set when you started the college search process. My older son graduated in 4.5 years from a state school in December 2006. He is now paying back $30,000 in educational loans. While this is a modest loan by many standards, it is scary for a 22 year old in his first job to discover that he must pay $300 per month in loans for the next 10 years.
Items to consider
- Most scholarships are limited to four years. Since most students take 4.5 or 5 years now to graduate, this often means additional loans need to be secured for the last semester/year. Our older son didn't qualify for additional Federal loans to cover the missing scholarship money; I had to cosign loans for his last two semesters.
- Look carefully at the EFC (Estimated Family Contribution) amount you received from the FAFSA. This will be on the Student Aid Report (SAR) which was sent to your email address. You will need to plan to meet that amount via savings, loans, 529 accounts or begging from rich relatives, whatever works for you. Federal loans will not usually cover any of your EFC amount.
- Have your student apply for as many scholarships as possible. No amount is too small! $500 will cover most of the costs of books for the quarter; $100 could cover the cost of a used Calculus book or a semester's load of laundry.
- Look carefully at transportation costs to the schools that your child likes best. Airfare or train costs can add significant costs to your annual outlay of money for college. Search the college website for their Academic Calendars. You can start to purchase airline tickets now (when prices are usually lower) for holiday visits home. Determine if a round trip visit to the school can reasonably be done in a day by car. You will need to define "reasonable." If not, you will need to plan for overnight stays for Orientation and for moving your child in, and out, of the dorm each year. If the colleges are in-state, check to see if bus transportation exists for your child to return home at break times, e.g., mid-term break, Thanksgiving, between quarters/semesters, spring break, holidays. We made the 8 hour round trip to pick up our son for a three day trip home; however, a $70 bus ride saves a lot of wear and tear on middle-aged parents with arthritic knees!
Preparing For Your Tuition Bill
Getting ready to take on your tuition bill doesn't have to be hard; if you follow these simple outline steps, it won't be. These are key steps to take when you're planning how to cover the cost of attendance.
- Planning – gather all paperwork from your school – ie: financial aid award letter – and figure out exactly how much you'll be paying.
- Note – though not included in this bill, you'll want to consider things such as books, food, travel, etc. when planning your actual cost of attending school.
- Some schools list average travel costs that might not consider how far you really have to go, or how often you will go home. A student who can bum a ride with a friend and chip in $50 for gas certainly will pay less for one trip than the one from Hawaii who goes to school on the mainland. Then again, if you drive home every weekend, the gas and tolls can add up!
- Speaking of driving, having a car on campus is very expensive. Gas, maintenance, and insurance are just some of the added costs. Many schools with parking restrictions don't allow freshmen to have a car at all. I don't know a college student with a car who didn't get a parking ticket or two – and if you go to school in a place with a premium on parking, you might also have to pay for a permit or garage fees. Check out the public transportation and shuttle buses for when walking isn't feasible. Riding a bike around campus is a great way to save money and even stay in shape (just make sure to invest in a helmet and a light)!
- Carefully consider your meal plan options. Some meal plans force you to use the balance before the end of each year or semester while others are more flexible. It's hard to know how often you'll hit the campus cafeteria before you get there, but know that even if you live in a dorm, you will likely have access to a kitchen where you could prepare your own, inexpensive meals.
- Personal expenses also add up. Budget for things like medication, laundry, haircuts, clothing, and phone bills.
- Don't forget to budget a little for having some fun. Extra-curricular activities and sports aren't always free – consider the cost of fees or dues, athletic equipment, uniforms,travel, or tickets for performances.
- Note – though not included in this bill, you'll want to consider things such as books, food, travel, etc. when planning your actual cost of attending school.
- Map out where each dollar will come from – How much will you pay? How much will your parents pay? How much will come from savings, job, scholarship, loans?
- Determine how much money will need to be borrowed – How much will you need to borrow? How much will your parents borrow? Which sources will you seek to borrow from- federal, private, both?
- Act as soon as you get the bill from your school – Don't waste time. It can take longer than you might expect to obtain funding, so get started right away.
Why should I clear all remaining balances before leaving for the summer?
- Unpaid balances can result in obstacles to re-enrolling next semester.
- Some schools will place blocks on your transcript.
If you're a returning college student, failure to close out an account balance could strip you of student status at your school. Don't make the mistake of not paying off your student account; see below for more details about lingering account balances.
As the semester winds down, many students find that they still owe their school money. Balances on student accounts accrue for various reasons – unpaid tuition, higher meal
costs than budgeted, miscellaneous charges, etc. – but no matter the reason it is important for students to clear these charges.
In some cases, student loans can be used to cover these balances. This is most straightforward if the balances are from the current semester or academic year. So, before the academic year officially ends, if you think student loans might be appropriate to cover your balances, you shouldn't delay.
Planning to study abroad
Go to college and travel the world? College requirements and opportunities have changed dramatically since the days when we parents slaved over textbooks, typing papers on our trusty manual typewriters. International education and global networking were concepts that were not part of our vocabulary back in the seventies. Today's students are encouraged to become citizens of the world, to live overseas as a local, and, if possible, to learn the native languages of the countries they visit. Before your student spends a semester abroad, he/she must select a program with credits that transfer and he needs to determine the best time of year to study abroad.
Let's start with the most practical concern first – making sure that your child receives CREDIT for the overseas experience. Universities are understandably proud of their high standards; as a result they are cautious in granting credit to overseas programs. The Study Abroad office will help your child to investigate the vast program offerings available through their own branch campus overseas or at foreign universities with whom they have reciprocal agreements. It is absolutely IMPERATIVE that your child contacts this office before applying to study abroad! Not only can this office steer your student to programs that will enhance his/her major but they will present your child with programs that receive full university credit. You need to ensure before your child hops on the plane that your money, and your child's time, is not wasted on a program that the university does not recognize. To do otherwise may result in additional semesters, and costs, since your student will have to spend more time at the home university "making up" the time spent overseas.
There are three major advantages to studying at the overseas branch campus of your home university. First of all, the credits will transfer without penalty; secondly there is usually no additional cost for tuition. Besides maintaining the tuition costs that are already included in your budget, a branch campus of the "home" university will accept scholarships that your student currently receives. The third advantage is the strong support system the university already has in place for students. On-site university advisors, home stays in local apartments and classes in English are often the norm for these campuses. If your student does not have a foreign language requirement for his or her major, this may be an especially attractive option.
Once your student has decided on a university and a program, the next decision is to determine the time frame. Should the overseas study last a summer, a semester or a full year? Your student will need to speak with someone in the Dean's Office of their major, and minor, to ensure that all university requirements are met and that the length of the program causes minimal disruption to his sequence of required courses. Engineering students may be able to do a co-operative experience (aka co-op) with an international company while Education majors may be able to student teach overseas. My older son spent the summer after his junior year in Italy. He completed fourth year Italian (his minor) and received a full year's credit by taking three classes per day during the eight week term in Urbino.
College tax benefit news
- Student Loan Interest. Current college students paying interest on unsubsidized loans and graduates who are repaying their loan can claim a tax deduction of up to $2500. There has been a ruling that interest paid on the parent PLUS loan also qualifies, but I recommend that you check with a tax expert before taking that deduction.
- College Tuition. There are two programs, the American Opportunity Credit (an improvement of the formerly Hope Scholarship Tax Credit) and the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit. They are both tax credits, which means you subtract the amount for which you are eligible right off your tax bill. You must choose which credit to take per qualifying student based on which is more beneficial for you.The American Opportunity Credit.For the 2011 tax year, a family may claim a credit up to $2,500 for each eligible dependent. The American Opportunity Credit is only available for a student's first four years of postsecondary education. Up to 40% of the credit is refundable even if you owe no taxes!A student or family may claim a tax credit of up to $2,000 per year with the Lifetime credit. The amount of the Lifetime credit is 20 percent of the first $10,000 of qualified educational expenses paid for all eligible students. The Lifetime credit is available for all years of postsecondary education and for courses to improve job skills.
- Tuition and Fees Tax Deduction. This is a deduction (not a credit) which can reduce taxable income by as much as $4,000. This deduction may benefit students who do not qualify for either the American Opportunity or Lifetime Learning tax credits. You must decide whether to claim the tuition and fees tax deduction or claim the American Opportunity or Lifetime Learning Credit per qualifying student in the tax year.
- Moving Expenses. Students who are required to move to take their first job qualify for a deduction for the cost of moving themselves and their possessions.
Creating a personal budget
In this new video, Don Betterton, financial aid expert and SimpleTuition advisor addresses the importance of having a personal budget. As a college student, it's very easy to be excited by your new environment and lose track of your personal spending. In fact, overspending is the most common mistake made by college students, especially freshmen. If you can learn to keep your discretionary spending under control and budget yourself throughout the semester, you'll save money and avoid dangerously low bank account balances.
The biggest student financial fear? Having to pay it all back.
A group of college students discuss with Don Betterton the things that worry them most about borrowing for college.
Are student loans an inevitable part of the college experience?

Does it "scare" anyone that 7 out of his 12 receiving touchdowns came against the likes of Marshall, James Madison, Maryland and Baylor. Baylor in particular has an absolutely pathetic defense.
He had a huge game against Oklahoma but that was rushing yards/tds. Also, what happened during the second half of his season? Did he pull a Mike Wallace? Injuries?
The guy is a weapon.. no doubt about it. I just don't think the guy should be a 1st round WR.
I wouldn't take him at 17, but I don't want to play him twice a year either. Great potential as a returner if the team has the guts to use him that way. You always see some teams sit their potentially best returner for fear of losing them for their other duties as WR, RB, etc.

ok, agreed. Tom Brady and his three step drops hitting Austin and his 4.3 speed in stride on those little seven yard outs also scares me.

text: OverviewBack to top Nutribiotic - Vegan Rice Protein Mixed Berry - 1.5 lbs. Item# :51467UPC# :728177001650 Brand:Nutribiotic Size/Form:1.50 lbs. Ship Weight:1.72 Servings:40 Dosage:1 Tablespoon(s) Flavor:Mixed Berry Nutribiotic - Vegan Rice Protein Mixed Berry - 1lb 5oz (600g)NutriBiotic Rice Protein is a high quality, low carbohydrate vegetable protein. This easily digestible protein provides an extensive array of naturally occurring amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Ideal for individuals who suffer from food allergies and digestive difficulties. Boost your nutrition and energy with this healthy and wholesome, protein rich formula!NutriBiotic Vegan Rice Protein is produced by means of a unique enzyme process. A proprietary blend of organic plant enzymes are used to separate the fiber and carbohydrates from the protein portion of the whole grain brown rice. Low temperatures used during processing prevent denaturing of the amino acids. No chemicals are used at any time. Due to this enzyme process, color, taste, and texture may vary. Why use NutriBiotic Rice Protein?NutriBiotic's Rice Protein is an excellent source of vegan, hypo-allergenic protein. Most people are familiar with soy and whey protein, and while they each provide sound nutrition, rice protein offers additional benefits. Whey protein comes from milk, and some people either cannot or do not wish to use animal-based protein. Soy protein often is difficult for people to digest and may pose allergy risks, plus some folks simply don't like the taste. Rice protein offers a vegan alternative to soy, without the animal products of whey. And rice protein actually is utilized more efficiently by the body than soy, too. Rice protein is suitable for use by those with food allergies and has even been used for gavage feeding (tube feeding) of infants, the elderly and the severely ill. It has a mild flavor similar to that of Cream of Rice cereal (remember back to your early childhood) and may be used in beverages, sprinkled on cereals and yogurt, and added to cooked dishes to boost the protein content without adding fat or a lot of calories. At about 58 calories per tablespoon (or 15 gram serving), rice protein is one of the lightest protein sources around. Is NutriBiotic Rice Protein made from genetically modified rice?No, their rice protein is not made from genetically modified rice, furthermore, the enzymes and natural vanilla flavoring used in their rice protein are naturally occurring from organisms that have not been modified by recombinant DNA techniques. Rice is a carbohydrate. How do you get protein from it?All foods contain amino acids, which are the building blocks of what are collectively called protein. Broccoli contains protein, as do all fruits and vegetables and grain products. They have isolated the protein from the carbohydrate molecules in the rice to give you rice protein. Does that mean the rice protein is chemically derived? I'm chemically intolerant and have to avoid food additives.NutriBiotic rice protein is not chemically processed. They use natural enzymes that digest the carbohydrate portion of the rice and leave the protein. The result is a very pure protein free of additives or chemicals, which could cause sensitivity. (Note: Occasionally individuals are sensitive to the enzymes used in processing. This is extremely rare - NutriBiotic has had only one report of such sensitivity on all the years that they have offered Rice Protein) Is Rice Protein considered a complete protein? How does it compare to whey?Yes. The term "complete protein" refers to the inclusion of all nine essential amino acids. Rice Protein contains these nine amino acids, plus all other non-essential amino's. All ingredients in their rice protein are naturally occurring components of the actual rice. They have added nothing to their product. For individuals looking for specific rations of amino acids, the following chart will be helpful. Persons on restrictive diets would do well to consult their health care practitioner or nutritionist before adopting or rejecting use of the rice protein. They cannot recommend use of their product to treat conditions other than hunger. The NutriBiotic StoryIn 1980, after nearly ten years in the nutritional supplement industry, NutriBiotic was founded based on the principle that everyone deserves good health. Inspired by the research and recommendations of the world's only two-time Nobel Laureate, Linus Pauling, Ph.D., they began work on development of a variety of forms and dosages of Vitamin C and other nutrients. They felt that the public should have the best possible variety of the best possible nutrients at the best possible price, and their initial successes with their family of products showed that you thought so too. Soon after NutriBiotic began filling the need for quality nutritional supplements, they found another need - the need for high quality, nutrient dense protein in a hypoallergenic form for the chemical and food sensitive individual. Their Rice Protein powder meets that need without soy, milk, egg, wheat or yeast. In 1987 NutriBiotic pioneered the process and use of grapefruit seed extract. You will find the fruits of their labors in their range of products containing Citricidal, including their skin cleansers, shower gel and bubble bath, dental gel, deodorant stick, foot powder, multi-purpose liquid concentrate, CapsulesPlus, and more. The folks at NutriBiotic stand committed to providing the very best for you and your family and are pleased to be able to offer you an ever-expanding range of quality nutritional supplements and personal care formulas developed with the intent of protecting and enhancing your health.

*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.

We raised cattle for 40 years. What would go with steak? A burgeoning industry was right under our noses and we began winemaking, the first and thus oldest winery in Montgomery County. Visits to wineries in Illinois in 2000, helped education, vineyard managers and winemakers giving valuable time and information. We refreshed old memories of chemistry, and planted grapes. Our children, friends and neighbors joined us in picking by hand, and are still with us since 2003. February 2, 2008, we opened. The winery was packed with those feisty individuals who came by the previous summers to see the building going up, only to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into the winery to taste the wines and give us an opinion. We listened. Now visitors walk the vineyards to compare the grapes with the wine in their glass. Wine tastings are offered without charge. We are open year-round Friday through Sunday. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available for over 200. Today, we produce 5000 gallons of wine from grapes, and we encourage wine education from both sides of the tasting room table. Come join us!

My baby girl just turned one. I stay at home with 5 out of the 7 days a week and work 2. I breastfeed, co-sleep and wear her daily. My friends and family think that I have 'spoiled' her and sometimes I start to think maybe I did (but I know better!) She follows me around with her arms in the air saying "up" or more like "bup" (so cute). I play with her all day and she get's plenty of attention. At what age did your little one stop wanting to be held all the time. I love it, but sometimes think I am going to be babywearing a 10 year old.
No announcement yet.
Please assure me she'll let me put her down..

She sound like my first son, cautious and cuddly!
She will get down when she is comfortable and ready. Is wonderful that you can provide that kind of consistency and security she desires. Do you feel like you hold her too much? Do you feel upset that your freinds and family criticize your willingness to hold her when she wants to be held? Is it mainly visiting places or when visitors come over? I think you are doing her a wonderful service!
Not ever kid is interested in playing peek a boo with new people! (my second son is 15 mo and will walk up and 'talk' to everyone waiting in the dentist office, my first son at this age would not even smile at aunts and uncles seen occasionally from my arms! Its all in their personality) My shy son is still a little shy (4 yrs old) and still asks to be carried sometimes but is otherwise your everyday 4yr old!

MomMom and devoted wife to 3 creatures of delight
it definitely depends on the child's personality. i wore my oldest in his sling until he was 2. my second wanted nothing to do w/being carried once he was walking at 11 mos. in either case, i can assure you, you will NOT be carrying around a 10 year old
congratulations for being an emotionally responsive parent!
My son is almost 2 and still prefers to be worn in public (malls and walks), but around the house forget it. He is all over the place running and playing. He didn't start this though until he was about 18 months. He is a shy kid and still shys away from extended family at first, but after a few minutes he's your typical toddler. Hang in there and you are doing the best thing for her!

AMY-bwing, bfing, cosleeping, attached mama to Conner, the love of my life and the best thing that ever happened to me! Born 3/15/2008
I don't have an answer, my LO is 10 months old and wants to be picked up alot, but I just wanted to tell you that you sound like a wonderful mama. Good job on being so responsive to her needs! Enjoy this time when she wants to be held even though it can be tiring because one day you might wish she wanted to be held more!
She sounds like my first, too (have you noticed this trend?). Is she your first? I think that with first-borns, they need so much to be 'up' with mommy. I heard the same things from folks, that I was spoiling my DD, that I was 'causing' her to be needy, that I had to 'train' her to be independent. Fortunately, like you, I saw that it was all rubbish!
Now she is a happy, secure 4.5 year old who I *wish* would miss me and want held more!
And, like the other moms here, my 2nd two wanted held, especially in public, but mainly just want to be down playing. In fact, my youngest used to scream at me when she was about 6 weeks old if I held her too much! She wanted down in the action with the others! So, if you do want a break from all of the holding, try taking her on playdates. Let her sit in your lap, then explore from there.
You are a great mom! Keep listening to your little girl and your heart!
That is hilarious!!! I have never heard it quite like that before. "wearing". I understand where you are coming from. I call/ed mine "hip huggers". I have found that I can do ALOT one handed. My 1 yr old does run around but still likes to be held. Especially when I am trying to do dishes which requires two hands. So I use an Evenflo hiker a family member gave to us. It wears easy and puts less strain than carrying in the front. She loves it! Happy to be riding and close to mommy. Plus she has a better view of what I am doing. When I had a garage sale, she was in it almost the entire time.You can google "evenflo hiker" and find several on ebay.

Grant: Front office situation isn't a 'Ryan vs. Daniels thing'… but it's definitely a thing
Texas Rangers beat writer Evan Grant answered reader questions during a live chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights:
Isn't the Nolan/JD thing a tempest in a teapot? It seems impossible that this is really a "thing."
Evan Grant: Right now, I don't see this as a Ryan vs. Daniels "thing." It's a "thing," for sure, though I'm not sure how to best explain it. I think right now it's up to ownership to reinforce that Ryan is to be a legit part of the decision-making process (and it may take a few days for this to all cool down before that message can be delivered effectively) and it's up to Ryan to decide if the role, as it has evolved, is satisfactory for him.
Big question. Which 4HR game did you prefer, Josh Hamilton or Bob Horner? Not which was better, which did you prefer. Thanks.
Evan Grant: Only saw the Horner homers on highlights and wasn't it a 10-inning game? I was at the Hamilton affair. One of the most memorable nights I've ever witnessed at a ballpark. I'd say I prefer it because I saw it live.
Is there a tacit understanding between MLB clubs and USA baseball in regards to how pitchers (mainly starters) are going to be used at the World Baseball Classic?
Evan Grant: There are strict pitch limits. Beyond that, I think Joe Torre and Greg Maddux have been in close contact with clubs about roles and usage of all the pitchers.

Julie Jones and Mike McCandless from The Emery County Business Chamber held a ribbon cutting at Hilary Gordon's Healing Hands business at 131 East 400 North, Huntington. Hilary's husband, Brent her daughter, Tammy Oviatt and grandchildren were on hand to participate in the ribbon cutting.
Tai-Ye, is an ancient mode of healing that uses the body's meridians to correct the points that are out of balance. Tai-Ye sends universal energy deep into the body without the use of needles. Gordon has been attending The Alternative Healing College in Colorado for two years to learn this type of healing. Hilary said, "Before I could perform Tai-Ye on people, I first had to achieve a certain level of skills. "We also have in our business a Migun Massage bed that helps the body relax and assists the muscles. Hilary Gordon is in the process of finishing another course, from the Academy of Bio-Energetics, which will teach her how to test the body's weaknesses and recommend natural supplements to correct the problem. Anyone interested can contact Hilary Gordon at Healing Hands for an appointment by calling 749-2264.

Also the flower design on the inside of the shoe is cute. Wish they had more in my size because I would have bought another pair!"

Beautiful Shoes!!
"I got the tan and it is a little bit less orangy than in the picture. It is more a stone tan color. But anyway, the shoes are very nice and seems comfortable so far. I usually wear kitten heels and sneakers. I am a normal 6.5 and the 6.5 for these are a little bit loose. But I think a smaller size would not have fit. I don't think I have wide feet, but I have had trouble with regular shoes being too narrow. But these are perfect! Even with the color being different from what I expected, I love them and would recommend them to everyone!"

gomax boot
"This boot is very cute with the chain detailing. The toe is round which I didn't realize before receiving these in the mail. Maybe this is a new trend. Not sure I like it, but the boots are otherwise great for the price. That is why I give them a 4 star rather than a 5."

Completed in 2011 at a cost of $4.6 million, the Kettle Moraine YMCA project features a new recreational pool addition, complementing the existing lap pool, whirlpool and therapy pool. The zero-depth entry recreation pool features pop jets, water sprays, a water dome, two activity centers and a large custom-designed, themed play structure.
Two large water slides form another attraction. From the top of a 25-foot-tall, glass-enclosed lookout tower, an inner tube slide and a body flume slide dramatically leave the building in a twirl of turns, re-entering the structure with a splash in the pool below.
There are also two warm-water lap lanes; a themed water walk with overhead ropes; and a current river with a donut spray, water rapids and a water tunnel.
The recreational pool features a one-of-a-kind painted wall mural, illustrating the beauty and heritage of the local landscape. The area is characterized by rolling hills, deciduous trees and lakes; a remnant from a glacial melt more than 10,000 years ago.
The combination of the landscape mural, the glue-laminated wood construction, and earth-tone color scheme, further give pool users the feeling of outdoor recreation. The much-loved Wisconsin dairy industry also is highlighted.

Skip to comments.Letter from Congressman Pete Stark Criticizing the Military
Posted on 05/19/2008 5:50:53 PM PDT by SkyPilot
This isn't a Vanity post. It is real.
Below is an e-mail I received from a friend.
It needs to be posted.
A class of senior Army War College officers (all of whom are either Iraq or Afghanistan combat veterans with multiple deployments) were taking part on a tour of Congress. All of this was officially approved and part of the Army War College curriculum.
The officers observing Congress hold multiple bronze stars between them; and other citations too numerous to mention.
Congressman Pete Stark observed them in the gallery, and below is his official letter of outrage.
If Congressman (D-CA) Pete Stark's office wishes to dispute it, let them.
Below is the text of a letter sent today to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates by Representative Pete Stark (D-CA), regarding the possible abuse of military officers' time.
May 16, 2008
The Honorable Robert Gates
Secretary of Defense
1000 Defense Pentagon
Washington, DC 20301
Dear Secretary Gates:
Yesterday, while voting on the war supplemental spending bill in the House of Representatives, I couldn't help but notice a contingent of approximately 20 flag rank Army officers sitting in the House Gallery watching the debate and vote for a couple of hours. I was looking from below so I thought they were Army, but there could have been other branches present.
It's possible they were on leave time or vacation. If so, I obviously have no concern. However, if they were doing this on military time, I want an explanation of why they were there.
At a time when our nation is at war, our troops are over-extended, and the Administration is literally asking for emergency military spending, what good to the "war on terror" is having US Generals and other top ranked officers - who were likely accompanied by staff and escorted by their chauffeurs - spending hours sitting in the gallery of the House of Representatives?
Please provide for me the name, rank, branch, and duties of each of these officers, as well as the number of additional staff and drivers that were used to facilitate their attendance yesterday. I would like this information by Monday, May 19th.
If they were here on official duty, this was an abhorrent misallocation of our military resources at a time of war.
Pete Stark
CC: The Honorable Ike Skelton, Chairman, Committee on Armed Services
CC: The Honorable Jack Murtha, Chairman, Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on Defense
239 Cannon Building
Washington, DC 20515
202-226-3805 (fax)
39300 Civic Center Dr.
Suite 220

510-494-5852 (fax)
I'd like for the Starks of our country to live under totalitarianism for awhile, then get back to us on any revised attitudes towards the military.
The entire Legislative branch has been wasting money for decades. Maybe he felt intimidated. He wouldn't have even noticed if it had been a 5th grade field trip.
And how freaking arrogant to demand the names of all concerned. It's like he looked up and noticed that we have a military, and he wants to find out who is responsible.
Many moons ago, Stark insulted J.C. Watts' family during a heated discussion on the house floor. Stark kept prattling on and on, while J.C. closed the distance. Another Republican congressman saw what was happening, and placed himself between J.C. and Stark, thus saving Stark's worthless life.
A damned shame.
There is something wrong with this guy.
Hon. Pete Stark
Dear Congressman Stark,
Enjoyed hearing from you. Obviously, from the tone of your letter, the air in Congress in still toxic and you think you are impostant.
With respect to your demand to know the name and rank of those officers who visited the Congress on a day you were making an a$$ of yourself - MAKE US, you sanctimonious twit!!!
We at the Pentagon love to hear from the elected representatives in Congress. Please write again if you ever have anything significant to say.
The Pentagon
Stark's website, like Murtha's, only accepts emails from his own district.
Piss off, a$$hat.
I sent him THIS message.....and I'm NOT in his part of the country....
Please tell me who the he** you are questioning the visiting of military members to the halls of Congress? Hmmmm? We pay our taxes for you to be there.....I suggest you shut the he** up. You must be really proud of yourself. Sounds like you're losing your faculties. Suggest you retire, quickly.
No respect for you.....at all. You deserve none.
Well - by my email - you all know where I live -
He'll be hearing from me tomorrow!
My son had the displeasure of meeting him a couple of years ago during a school trip. He was laughing silently inside as one of the other students pointed out that facts in a recent campaign flyer he had posted outside his office was factually wrong on several counts.
Flustered the old idiot no end.
There is a special circle in Hell reserved for Fortney Stark and his kind.
Stark marches to a different drummer than most of us, and he is out of step with that one, too. He's nothing but a mollycoddle and a fop.
All of these swine do this, they have put themselves above public opinion. However, you can send him a letter via snail mail, much more effective. Better, yet, send both and email and a letter to your own Congressman, expressing your digust with this Communist. If your Congressman is a Democrat, so much the better. Let them know that their party is firmly and completely in the hands of enemies of this country.
Here is a copy of what I sent:
I don't blame you for being outraged.
My God, the military will find out how you bastards vote.
And you forgot to mention that the title of the bill is a total farce for that bill had absolutely nothing to do with financing the military.
It was all about taxing the over taxed and slush money for you back home.
So when the President vetoes it, the only thing the ignorant public who rely on the liberal rags will see is: PRESIDENT VETOES MILITARY APPROPRIATIONS BILL.
What a bunch of scumbags.
Claude S. Sutton, Jr.
Wait till Rush gets ahold of this story and maybe the letter. Could be another great fundraiser on E-bay.
Just use the address of his Fremont office.
I doubt there is a tape of it on C-SPAN, but I would have loved to have seen it.
Pete "StarkRavingMad" is not only a coward, but a red one to boot. He loved to support the Hanoi lobby, the FLMN in El Salvador, and Allende in Chile.
This is the perfect example of a red millionaire who hates his country.
He is one sick sonna-of-bitch, but then again, he's from California. Caprish?
What a fool.
"only accepts emails from his own district"
I just use the zip code of one of their local offices and a fake address, name , etc. Works fine. You are not really anonymous unless you take further steps, so watch what ya say.
I am infuriated by Rep. Stark's letter. Stark's biography states that he is the first and only avowed atheist in Congress and it shows. I hope all will use this link to find the e-mail addresses of their states' delegations and will write their senators and congressmen to express their disgust with Rep. Stark's implication that US Military officers have no right to tour Congress. http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/
I have already written my Senators, Inhofe and Coburn, and my Congressman, Sullivan, to express my disgust with both the tone and the content of the letter by Starks. I urged, at the very least, a demand for an apology by Rep. Starks and suggested that censure would be hailed by most as appropriate.
Thanks for the link... my message follows: (censored for sensitive tastes)
As a retired US Army First Sergeant and Desert Storm veteran I rarely have anything good to say about officers. In this case, though, you steaming pantload..... you're not worth a drop of sweat off of the most feckless of the bunch's testicles. You know about testicles don't you, that's the things bouncing off your chin during sex. Don't look down, you don't have any.
F%&k You Very Much,
Alfred W. Evans
1SG, USA(Ret)
Hey, yeah, same method, I remember now! I looked up Murtha's district, then did a Mapquest search and found a street and zipcode, then let him have it! Called him a traitor, a REMF coward who faked his Vietnam record, but never heard back.
Like you I retired after two OIF tours. thanks, You have a way with words, but they would be wasted on the likes of this a—hole. Glad to be back home, but would go back if asked. I can still pass a flight physical and handle a weapon. Those were the requirements I was given to be called back. Col USA (Ret)
I love your post. The guy is a wienie.
Who will this idiot turn to when Obama Hussein's administration turns our country into a terrorists delight?
Oh, right, peace talks ....

Mr. Pete Stark
House Offices
Washington, DC
Dear Mr. Stark:
I am too busy protecting the entire civilized world to respond to the mindless prattlings of a senile old coot such as yourself.
I'll be contacting my CA Congressman tomorrow to express my outrage at this man's insults towards our military and it's leadership. My Congressman is a Republican, so I'm expecting a response.
Ouch, that's gonna leave some marks (LOL).
I followed advice in Post #16. Went right thru!!
I'll use this on all the congress websites.
A.A. Thanks.
Thank you sir.
Bump for later ........... Thanks
No thanks necessary, and sir is just way too formal. This man's words should be used to choke the life out of his career IMHO.
WASHINGTON (AP) An anti-war Democratic congressman backed off complaints about Defense Department personnel watching a House vote after the Pentagon told him they were students from the Army War College.....
"I appreciate the swift response," Stark said in his follow-up statement, without retracting or apologizing for his earlier complaints. "However, if these officers were hoping for a lesson in how Congress ought to work, then perhaps the Iraq supplemental wasn't the best debate for them to witness.
He does not get off so easy on this.
He had CONTEMPT for military officers actually watching what Congress (which is the People's Business) doing and saying.
He cannot slime out of this.
Thanks. Stark deserves every harsh word directed at him over this.
Dear Congressman Stark,
Thank you for standing up for the American taxpayer and demanding an explanation from Secretary Gates as to why military officers were present in The House Gallery during recent debates on the House Floor.
I encourage you to contact the local print and TV news outlets in the Bay Area and expose these officers for what they truly are. They are obviously cowards who are shirking their military duty and, as such, have no right to view the government they have sworn an oath to defend in action.
To help facilitate this recommendation, I have taken the liberty of contacting the FOX affiliates in San Francisco and Sacramento as well as the San Francisco Chronicle and Sacramento Bee with the letter you sent to Secretary Gates.
I was assured you can expect journalists from these outlets to contact your office within the next day or two. But probably sooner.
In addition, as a token of my appreciation for looking out for me and my fellow taxpayers, I have sent a check for 5 dollars to your re-election campaign.
Here's looking forward to seeing you on TV. Keep up the good work.
(Texas Eagle)
(Northern California city), CA
Not cowardice but he has no reason to accept input from outside his district.
You can't vote for him why should he give a rats bum what you think?
And I suspect that your favorite Republican Rep feels the same way.
left California some time ago, had no idea Starkraving was still around.
This coward is full of shame, which is the only reason the presence of some of our MOST EXCELLENT Military infuriated him so. It gives me great hope and satisfaction to know that no matter how far down this power-trip Stark gets, he'll ultimately wind up (as will we all) before his Creator and Justice will be served.
He's been in Congress since.....1973!!!
Google their home town and copy the zip code. You can get through that way.
Memo to Pete:
Perhaps the military feels your actions are worth keeping an eye on. Comrade.
With love,
The Pentagon
Re a Gates letter to StarkRavingMad:
It would be nice to close the Gates on this nut - the gates of a mental institution.
Maybe Ted Kennedy can share some of his seizure with his leftcoast counterpart.
Anyway, I offered to take Ted home from the hospital. Suggested that we go for a night ride and midnight swim. Would be good physical therapy. Afterall, he did swim for two hours looking for Mary Jo Kopeckhne, before buying off everyone in town.
Hey Ted - Did you ever see "Lady in the Lake"? Hope it haunts you forever, you soul-less SOB.
And take Stark with you on your midnight ride.
Boy, do I feel good. Nothing like a little rant at our traitors to end the day.
Just wait till tomorrow.
Thank you.
Well.... my rep is Pete Wilson (R-SC) and his site is not blocked, IIRC.
But my senator is Little Lord Fauntleroy Flimsy Graham, and he does not respond to constituents, let alone outsiders. Criticism of his views is regarded as the maunderings of an ignorant peasantry, and he does not deign to reply.
Anyway, I'm going with the Fremont strategy for old Fortney.
You're welcome.

Like others who have seen the devastation in New Jersey in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, NJEA members are asking how they can help. As educators, we want to make sure that students get back to school, and back to normal, as soon as possible. The damage to many schools makes that a real challenge, but you can make it a reality.
The NJEA Hurricane Sandy Back to School Effort will help our members replace and rebuild the learning environments our students need.
The NJEA Hurricane Sandy Back to School Fund will be used to support member volunteer efforts in New Jersey's hardest-hit communities and schools. Through donations of money, materials and time, NJEA and its members will help our hardest-hit schools and communities rebuild.
When Superstorm Sandy hit, no one counted on the widespread damage and devastation she would bring. However, in this time of crisis, the one thing communities could count on was their school's education support professionals (ESP). In communities across the state, public school custodians, cafeteria workers, security guards, classroom aides, and secretaries--many of whom lived in the community also-- worked tirelessly to set up school shelters, provide meals, collect food and clothing donations, and restore order. For these valuable members of the school team, the reason was simple: when there's a call for help, that's what they do...they come help.
At the state and local levels, members of NJEA—indeed all residents of New Jersey—have responded to Hurricane Sandy with a force to match its winds and waves. While the storm closed schools and cancelled the NJEA Convention, members left relatively unscathed used the unexpected time off to reach out to their students and their neighbors to offer help. This page offers just a sample of the great work our members have been doing.

Sometimes the hustle and bustle of life, or even vacationing, can leave one stressed and worn out. If you're visiting San Diego and are looking for calming and relaxing places to escape to during a break in your sightseeing schedule, you've come to the right place. Despite its busy and noisy downtown district, visitors can find solace in the quiet, peaceful attractions that are minutes away from the downtown San Diego Pacific Inn.
Right along the San Diego Bay are the quaint shops and restaurants of Seaport Village. For relaxation, vacationers can take a stroll along the water on the Embarcadero or bring a book and sit on the grass looking toward the harbor. Many of Seaport Village's restaurants have outdoor seating on private patios looking toward the majestic Coronado Bridge. To learn more about the history of Seaport Village and how it played a role in revitalizing downtown San Diego, click here.
To experience an even larger park, head over to Balboa Park. This park has acres of quiet and grassy picnicking areas, lush gardens, easy walking trails and interesting museums. With the park's large size and beautiful grounds, it isn't uncommon to find locals having a picnic or reading a book along the pond by the botanical garden. For added relaxation, visitors can listen to a free organ concert at the organ pavilion every Sunday afternoon at 2pm. Your little mental getaway can continue while you dine at the park. Diners at the popular El Prado and other Balboa Park restaurants can enjoy a savory meal outdoors on private patios.
If you're vacation is becoming too hectic or busy, take some time to stop and relax. At the Pacific Inn hotel in downtown San Diego, we strive to make our guests' San Diego vacation as stress free as possible by providing clean, spacious rooms and complimentary amenities.

Last week we sat down with Thomas Gold before his sold-out show at Roseland Ballroom. This show marked the end of his American Fanfare tour, and he definitely brought out all the stops. A ridiculous amount of lazers, a full drumline plus trumpeters playing the fanfare, sexy marching band clad dancers and his rockin' tunes. Check out the interview below and find out what what you missed, why Thomas loves NYC and all the crazy things that happened on his tour!
