(Sharing some of our optimistic goals for our city.)
Milwaukee is well founded in public art and outdoor architecture.
To further promote public art as a city enterprise and in unifying the most prominent art of the city, Mangiamele Arts Foundation (MAF), engaging itself in all sorts of creative art enterprises is also actively beginning to define and link places of art and locations to be visited that are existing and amicably accessible to us on a daily basis.
A growing place for this sort of art is manifesting itself along the lakefront area at the Eastern section of downtown. A grouping of outstandingly designed buildings provides us the basis for more comprehensive art.
MAF will be seeking to strengthen this section of our art city as our focal point of public art and outdoor architecture, primarily on a private basis, building on the private and public art that already exists there.
We want those responsible for new development, especially in this area to pay special attention to the artistic environment that can develop there and to direct a certain percentage of building funds to the value-adding character that public art brings to these otherwise changing areas.
Outdoor architecture extends itself to the floor of the city as well as to the walls and perhaps to "virtual" outdoor ceilings of these public places forming and defining public spaces and artistic areas. We therefore, seek further artistic creation in various areas in their comprehensive aspects as we create outdoor architecture in Milwaukee.
The development energy of this part of the East downtown is then to find its way toward and beyond the river, West on Wisconsin Avenue and should grow from this developing lakefront art to a metropolitan activity center that generates a people-attracting environment.
The basic function of outdoor architecture then is to promote and create places where people want to be and to create or recreate the economic value of these places.
Public art as appropriately applied is the nutrient element that gives growth and that tends to unite these people attracting places. And it is the goal of MAF to assist and to cooperate with others in providing that certain energy to these areas as they evolve in their apparent early stages.
We intend to assist in providing that energy to bring about that attractive adhesiveness that neither the private sector even when working with local government agencies can bring about by them selves. Functioning as a social enterprise, we expect to contribute to a public energy already in existence in Milwaukee's organic structure.

Skip to comments.Union official blames Remington Arms expansion in Alabama on NY Safe Act
Posted on 02/15/2014 10:15:48 PM PST by Behind Liberal Lines
Ilion, N.Y. A union official said Saturday the Remington Arms Co.'s decision to open a manufacturing plant in Alabama does not bode well for Ilion, and he's blaming New York's Safe Act restrictions on assault weapons.
"It can't be good," said Fran Madore, president of United Mine Workers Local 717, which represents 1,180 of the 1,300 Remington employees in Ilion. "How can it be good?"
Madore said plant officials told him they wanted to meet with him on Monday. They did not say what they wanted to talk about, but Madore said he assumes it will be about the company's reported plans to open a 500,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Huntsville, Ala.
AL.com reported Saturday that the Huntsville facility could employ up to 2,000 people. It said details could be revealed on Monday about plans for a Remington facility in a former Chrysler plant near Huntsville International Airport....
"The SAFE Act has been a terrible thing from the beginning," he said. "You'd think New York would be doing everything to keep us. Instead, it passes a law that cripples us."
Remington and other firearms makers can still manufacture assault weapons in New York, but they can't sell them inside the state. New York lawmakers, at the urging of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, imposed the restrictions after a man armed with an assault rifle massacred twenty children and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in December 2012.
(Excerpt) Read more at syracuse.com ...
Upstate bump
Well, he's right. Cuomo's gun control laws should be blamed.
Sorry, that means I feel the same as you.
Some reporter should ask Fran: "Who did you and your members vote for in the last election?"
Strange union for a gun factory to have, isn't it?
many of the union folks, and most union leadership voted for thelib politicians who passed the safe act.
i cnnotfeel sorry, for these particular people. you vote for libtards, you get laws from libtards, and live under the consequences of libtard laws.
Are we surprised that SonofMario would be any different?
This is what the people of New York voted for - more government, more socialism, more theft of other people's money, etc.
What I would like to see is a company hired boxer smashing the face of the union thug before the company leaves. Union tactics turned on them!!!
A business would move away from where it's hated? Say it isn't so!
This is what the people of New York CITY voted for - more government, more socialism, more theft of other peoples money, etc.
There, fixed it.
Union vs Dems: ruh row, cat fight/
Get over it and move out.
"Well Fran, from my point of view..."
Great reply...Let the Commie Rats rot.
The only true America that is left is down in Dixie.
Been to the border of PA and NY farm counties. PA allows fracking and their small town folks are driving around in brand new pickup trucks. Meantime NY refuses to allow it, and their small town folks drive in beat up pick up trucks. NY and PA border is like East Berlin vs West Berlin during the Cold War.
I noticed that too
and to quote a long lost friend of mine....
Sometimes u have to die a woodpeckers death...
I sincerely hope that Fran will lose her union position and spend some time flipping burgers at McDonalds.
It will liberate 1300 people from the drudgeries of work. They can stay home, raise their kids, and pay their obamacare premiums. It is the republicans that want people to work so hard, and they are leaving the state. What are you complaining about?
You can imagine the scenario. Remington exec talks to the union guy. Company will dissolve completely in NY. Company will end union episode...but offer a friendly deal of moving up 500-odd employees to Alabama as part of the new plant. Union will argue that it must move lock, stock and barrel with the company. Company will say that this deal dissolves in NY state and exists no more. How many guys would want to move to Huntsville? That would be an interesting question. And I'm guessing that a ten-percent wage cut is somewhere in the mix because there's lesser taxes and less cost involved. This will disturb most guys if offered the deal.
As for more future employment for a former Remington guy in NY state? Well...I doubt if there's anything, and the state won't do much to attract new companies....because their tax revenue deal is so bad. Basically...you sit on federal unemployment pay for a long while, then flip burgers or serve people at some bar.
Finally, this ought to be a reality series on the History Channel....as these New Yorker guys arrive and assimilate in Huntsville. It will be a definite culture shock. Would be worth watching weekly on TV.
Sorry, you are more accurate.
Naive or stupid, or both?
Well, when they made the deal to move the high end AR production to a plant in Texas, they offered many of the workers a move to the Texas plant. From what I heard most of them were excited about moving and did. Lower cost of living, no state income tax and a very pro gun climate.
NY sure shot itself in the foot. hee hee hee
"Strange union for a gun factory to have, isnt it?"
Maybe it's a connection with lead and copper, both of which are mined. Well in any case, we have a restive union in the bluest area of the country, let's pop some corn and enjoy the show! ;)
Yup. You deserve the government you vote for. And they got what they deserve for such irresponsible votes.
And they can pursue their passion.
Unless that involves firearms.
Which it might, since they all work in a GUN FACTORY!
That's what happens when you vote for stupid Commies. Elections have consequences, after all.
What kids? They've probably aborted them all.
And yet their union will continue to support the Democrat pols who voted for it. And support Obama's war on coal too, Mr. Mine Worker.
Fran, maybe Cuomo will get some state money to retrain your workers to go work in the ever growing Fracking Industry in NY...
Oh wait, he can't, Andrew the magnificent Fubar'd that Industry too...
Alabama RUTS New York! Glee!
if memory serves, the place was founded by the original remington around the revolutionary war period. they still have one of the guns he made.
you wonder, does anybody in the NY state government ever think that maybe sometime in the future you might want a local arms maker? i mean those guys have been there 200 years, that's a lot of history to arrogantly turn over.
sometimes things change, and not for the good.
Actually, the Sandy Hook shooter was not armed with an assault rifle. Even if using an AR-15, it is not an assault rifle. It only shoots one round at a time.
Reports I remember say that the end result was he had used pistols.
Cuomo is a disaster for this state and America this disaster awaits you if you elect Hillary Clinton as your next President. New York politicians specialize in wrecking economies. I live in upstate New York and I watched it deteriorate over the last 50+ years. The Republicans are no better with most of them being RINOS. For example my Republican congressman Gibson is a sellout and now can be classified as a RINO. To make make matters worse he is running against a homosexual who is married to one of the founders of Facebook. Whoever wins will be a loss for New York State citizens. I'm glad we can still move to a more hospitable state when we are ready to go.
Oh the state is trying to attract new companies. While channel surfing the other day I came across on a Buffalo tv station an ad touting New York as a place to come to to open new businesses. It was offering a tax free enterprise zone or a tax free period of a number of years or something. They know they are hemorrhaging and want the bleeding to stop. It actually shocked me for a moment. Never seen anything like it in years gone by.
No, he used the AR.
My memory says they found it in the trunk afterwards.
Either way, it isn't an assault rifle.
No they didn't.
Agreed on the "ASSAULT RIFLE!" Aspect.
I'm 1 degree of separation from an EMS 1st responder who spent a lot of time on scene. There was a lot of .223/5.56 brass.
I hope Remington doesn't bring a whole lot of NYers with them it might poison the water.
I think there is a Remington in Louisiana already...Shreveport no?
So they've gone south before
Put up a "Checkpoint Charlie" sign :)
Cuckoo Cuomo, Fran, and Ilion.
F the new New York - Yeah, they really are trying hard to get new business to move in!
It'd be a net positive for the site as a whole if such were to occur as a matter of course.
imho, of course

|In response to Re: Washer Installation - no existing plumbing- is it DIY-able?
: We've just bought a house (built 1957). it has never had a washing machine installed (prev owners used it as a vacation home). How difficult is it to install the necessary plumbing? Is it something a reasonably adept DIYer could attempt, given the right tools and some good written instructions?
: We are planning to site the machine in the basement, on the wall adjacent to the main waste pipe.
: The water supply pipes are overhead from washer - would have to run pipes down and install the faucets on the wall behind.
: we have been quoted over $1800 for a plumber to install the washer plus a dishwasher - this seems like daylight robbery to me. neither of these appliances are in a very complex location - i.e. we have cut out the cabinets in the kitchen already, and the dishwasher will go right next to the sink.
: any advice welcome. thanks.
I would encourage you to get another estimate. If it is equally high, assume that there is a reason for it to be this high, like a very difficult install. There is way more to this than running a line for the washer and dishwasher to dump into. You need a vent for the washer plumbing that will need to go through the roof by itself or join with another vent.

Judge Koh to Apple Lawyers: Are You "Smoking Crack"?
Jason Mick
August 17, 2012 9:45 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Comedy Central)
As with Motorola case, Apple is starting to get on the judge's nerves in its case against Samsung
Like a boss, Apple, Inc. (
) went out and poured money into recruiting top tier legal representation to sue its rivals. In
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
, this synergy seemed on the verge of succeeding after Apple's lawyers micromanaged to
exclude certain high profile pieces of evidence
from rival Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
), while allowing its
own star exhibits
. But it appears that yet again Apple is brushing off on its attorneys, as they've found a way annoy yet another judge.
After enduring the seeming harassment of a 75-page briefing requesting 22 rebuttal witnesses for next week, presiding
Judge Lucy Koh
changed her tone, no longer looking to give Apple any courtroom promotion. In fact the filing had Judge Koh inquiring whether Apple attorneys had been busy scoring some coke.
She asked Apple why they would present her the document "when unless you're smoking crack you know these witnesses aren't going to be called!"
But Apple attorney William Lee insists that he wasn't looking for the
free crack giveway
, commenting, "First, your honor, I'm not smoking crack. I can promise you that."
He argued that a couple of the witnesses on his lists were Samsung's. As Samsung and Apple's legal teams then fell into a noisy legal argument, she exclaimed,
according to
a courtroom reporter for
The Verge
, "I'm billing time because you all are being unreasonable."
Judge Koh had already pushed both sides to cut down on the time of their arguments, saying the court could not devote itself to being a full-time Apple v. Samsung court. Apple tested the waters last week, asking Judge Koh to allow a rebuttal witness, designer Susan Kare, after its early design witnesses had
struggled under cross-examination
Judge Koh has grown increasingly frustrated with Apple's attorneys during the lawsuit against Samsung. [Image Source: IB Times]
But Apple said Ms. Kare couldn't return to court until next week due to "family matters".
Irritated, Judge Koh told Apple's team that unless Ms. Kare could come this week, she wouldn't be coming at all. But Apple's lawyers apparently couldn't take the hint, requesting even more witnesses for next week on Thursday.
That kind of belligerent filings and judicial frustrations strikes eerily similar to that encountered in the case against Google Inc. (
) subsidiary Motorola which Apple presented to
Judge Richard A. Posner
, a
Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals
judge moonlighting in the
U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois
Judge Posner initially seemed
inclined to listen
to Apple's infringement claims, but after Apple insisted on appealing every single decision --
even its own victories
-- with a slew of junk filings, his sentiments shifted sharply. With both sides quibbling and unable to reach a settlement, he decided the best course of action was to
toss out both sides' cases
. He dismissed the lawsuits "with prejudice".
As Judge Koh experiences a similar "eye opening" experience regarding Apple legal's policy of irritating filings, one has to wonder whether Apple v. Samsung might face a similar fate.
The Verge
"It's okay. The scenarios aren't that clear. But it's good looking. [Steve Jobs] does good design, and [the iPad] is absolutely a good example of that." -- Bill Gates on the Apple iPad

Popular Entertainment
This Museum's popular entertainment collections hold some of the Smithsonian's most beloved artifacts. The ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz reside here, along with the Muppet character Kermit the Frog, and props from popular television series such as M*A*S*H and All in the Family. But as in many of the Museum's collections, the best-known objects are a small part of the story.
The collection also encompasses many other artifacts of 19th- and 20th-century commercial theater, film, radio, and TV—some 50,000 sound recordings dating back to 1903; posters, publicity stills, and programs from films and performances; puppets; numerous items from World's Fairs from 1851 to 1992; and audiovisual materials on Groucho Marx, to name only a few.

In the 1890s Long painted a number of outdoor studiescapturing his immediate responses to nature. He also created images of rural scenes.
Following the practice of his teacher Julian Ashton, as well as Charles Conder and Streeton, Long sometimes painted at Griffith's farm in the Richmond area of New South Wales.
In these early Impressions he worked in the manner of these artists, painting freely in the open air directly onto canvas or wood panel, capturing light and eliminating any details that would distract from the essence of the scene.
Long painted typical rural subjects. But he wanted to do more than this. He also wanted to convey something of the poetry of the bush.

Skip to comments.EXCLUSIVE: Harold Camping to Speak Monday on Failed Prediction
Posted on 05/23/2011 3:59:47 AM PDT by don-o
Harold Camping, the Oakland, California-based broadcaster who made a failed prediction about a cataclysmic doomsday said on Sunday he would make a statement on or by Monday night in a "public forum" to explain himself.
An IBTimes reporter met him at his home in Alameda, Calif., and said he would explain in the forum tomorrow.
When asked about his silence since the prediction, Camping said he needed more time seeing that his major prediction had failed, and wanted to think and recover, calling the event "a big deal."
Camping, 89, has not been heard from since Saturday.
In 1994, Camping also predicted that doomsday would come, although he admitted at the time there was a miscalculation.
(Excerpt) Read more at ibtimes.com ...
Darn it, he forgot to carry the one! It's actually going to occur on May 21, 2021! Yep, that's the ticket!
Unless he publicly apologizes and repents for his sin of presumption - and donates the $100mm he's sitting on to actual worthy causes - then nothing he says is worth hearing.
That silly old man named Camping,
Must now spent his hours revamping,
His rapture predictions
That must be depictions
To the real one that right now is ramping!
Bill Cunningham Jr.
I thought they maintained a cash-poor operation.
But Camping is such an enlightened man... if we define enlightenment as the ability to separate fools from their money. (/sarc)
Not according to their IRS filings.
Exactly and I will go further... he needs to be in jail.
The "forum" in which he needs to worry about "explaining himself" is the one that will take place with God immediately after his death, which, at 89, isn't far away.
Their 2009 IRS filing shows $1.5 million in cash.
"But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death."
Or a position within the Dimocrat party
"Camping said he needed more time seeing that his major prediction had failed"
He must still be...Up in the air about it.
And $34 million in public traded securities, nearly $57 million in other assets that are not land or buildings.
A total of $104.8 million in assets. Hardly a shoestring operation.
It also shows $35mm in investments in securities and $56mm in other tangible assets.
So, he's sitting on $92.5mm and not $100mm.
$10 says this clown will claim he just did it to test peoples faith or raise their awareness or some such lame claim.
my check is in the mail....you win
To me, "sitting on" implies a lack of use, and revenue these investments and other assets are employed to offset expenses, and, even then, only to a small extent compared to the total expenses. Most of the revenue is donations.
It's unclear from IRS filings what portion of those assets are actually employed in the business operations, but I think that our difference is in what is meant by "sitting on" them. I wouldn't say that a business that owns employee desks is just "sitting on" those assets. The chairs, however.... ;-)
So about 35% of their total assets is either cash or public-traded securities.
While stocks and bonds are not cash, they are pretty liquid in my opinion. They could be sold at market value within an hour.
$35mm in publicly traded securities is not cash-poor by any stretch of the imagination.
That's a lot of liquidity.
When the Wall Street Journal says "Apple's cash pile is now $65.8B" they are talking about $16B of cash, and almost $50B of publicly traded securities.
And here I was debating with myself prior to posting that when you said he was supposed to donate what he was sitting on, you might have meant himself, not the company...and all the talk that he had taken the money and run (publicly traded securities are not identical to cash). I never guessed we had different definitions of "sitting on".
But that's irrelevant to the bottom line. I'm curious why you think he should donate his assets or the radio networks'.
Do you really believe that he is practically - as opposed to legally - separate from the company?
Im curious why you think he should donate his assets or the radio networks.
Because he collected that money on false pretenses and, morally, he should give that largesse to non-fraudulent entities.
Not for most purposes. That's why I concluded you weren't making any relevant distinction.
Because he collected that money on false pretenses and, morally, he should give that largesse to non-fraudulent entities.
False pretenses?
He offered his interpretation of the Scriptures...Scriptures that are freely available for anyone to review. If a post of yours turns out to be wrong and I believed it, do you owe a donation to a third party?!
If I solicited donations from you on the basis of the false information in my post, I would be morally obliged to return that donation to you or to donate it to a worthy cause if I could not locate you.
" 20`But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.' 21. "And if you say in your heart, `How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?' 22. "when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him." Duet 18
It seems to me nothing he says is worth hearing no matter what he does.
The RNC owes a lot of people some big checks!

The Classic Thin Fin profile goes lipless with the Strom Rockin' Shad Lipless Crankbait. Offering a strong vibrating body, the Rockin' Shad's multi-ball rattle is raspy and loud when ripped or retrieved. On the fall, the Rockin' Shad sinks head down with a side to side "Rockin" action, transmitting an intermittent cadence rattle. Graced with external scales and 3D Holographic Eyes, the Rockin' Shad's exterior adds a sense of realism. Backed with premium black nickel VMC treble hooks, the Storm Rockin' Shad means business. Available in a variety of killer colors, the Storm Rockin' Shad is ready to Rock!

Customer Reviews
Comments: These are excellent crankbaits. My son and I have been using them the last 6 months and they are now my favorite crankbait. We have caught hundreds off bass on them. Started out using #7 size but then tried smaller #6 and they kill it too. My favorite color is blue steel I've caught the most bass on it. My biggest bass was a 7.3lb on the #6 Rainbow smelt, all the colors work well. We've caught a bunch of 5-6lb largemouth and a ton of 2-4lbs. Bass will hit them on the drop. They cast a mile and are durable, long lasting paint job, good price, and good colors. These are great lures for lakes holding shad and bluegill.
From: Paul: Jupiter, FL 7/31/15
Comments: I would not suggest anything else when it comes to reaction bites! This lure I found works best for post spawn largies that are eating the fry after they hatch. This lure you can fish at slow speeds and keep it in the strike zone and keeps up the sound and action! The best color of choice for me is the baby bass color in the # 7 size. The cast ability is amazing as well, you can really bomb this lure out there to keep it in the strike zone longer and increase your chances of catching fish! Not only all of this, but it also deflects cover like nothing else! I can rip this through weeds, bring it over stumps, fish it in rip rap, and over rocks. This lure I'm going to rate a 10/10! this is a great lure for any beginner crank bait anglers who want to catch a variety of nice fish!
From: Cody: Ripon, Wi.
Comments: good but not great. Finish isn't that great but has nice action on the fall. I haven't really caught a whole lot of fish on it where others are whacking them.
From: Gman: southern ny
Comments: By far the BEST lipless crank i have use. Have been catching Big bass for me. Best color that worked for me was the bluegill. Buy it you wont regret it.

Exactly what I was looking for!
"These boots were better in person than they looked online. The inside is lined, which will make them very warm. Thus far they have been incredibly comfortable. I have narrow feet so they fit perfectly. I searched for over-the-knee boots for 2 months before deciding on these and it was an excellent choice!"

Tall Riding Boot
"I was slightly disappointed in this boot. The dark shade on the toe was very defined, I was hoping it would just look a litle worn. I'm 5'7 and the height of the shaft was perfect as I wanted it well over my knee, but it was tight on my calf. I do have fairly skinny calfs not bird legs by any means, but most boots are to wide on my legs. Steve Madden Monty boot fits perfectly but is not available in brown."

Beautiful Boot
"I just received these yesterday and have not worn them yet; however, I wanted to advise that these shoes do seem to run short (I got a size 10 which normally fits w/ extra room but these are a bit tight) and also, they are extremely fitted on the leg. I have small/average sized calves and these fit very tightly! I'm around 5'7" and the top of the boot reaches just over the top of my knee. The boot looks so great that I really don't want to return them so I'm going to try and get the foot area stretched out and I know the suede upper will loosen up over time."

News and Events
June 27, 2013: Clarke University will introduce a food science major for the fall of 2014.Food science is an applied science in which chemical, biological and physical principles are applied to study the nature of food and its deterioration. The studies are utilized to evaluate and improve consumer foods and associated processes. Students will study principles from a variety of academic fields including chemistry, biology, microbiology, nutrition, engineering and psychology. These principles will be applied to improve the flavor, color, texture and nutritional value, among other factors, in food. "On behalf of Clarke, we are excited to offer a unique food science program that has mostly been offered by large schools thus far," said Sunil Malapati, associate professor of chemistry. "We designed the program tailored to Clarke's strengths after extensive interaction with food industry professionals and business leaders in the tri-state area. Students will work in a newly designed Food R&D Lab that will complement the cutting edge labs in Clarke's new science building."Personally speaking as a chef and a foodie, I am excited to introduce students to careers in food science they may not have considered before."Mark Seckman, vice president of National Marketing for the Greater Dubuque Development Corporation, said food science and its related industries is a fast-growing sector of the U.S. economy. That provides the potential for job creation.
"Consumer dynamics have caused the food processing industry to evolve," Seckman said. "The demand for low-calorie foods, products with natural ingredients and the movement from branded offerings to supermarket private-label items have created significant growth opportunities within this business sector. According to the Food Processing Manufacturing Trends Survey, of the U.S. food processing companies surveyed, more than half of these businesses plan to expand, modernize or build new plants in the coming years."Food science is very different than culinary science. The bachelor's in food science program at Clarke is designed to produce a work-ready food scientist. Rigorous coursework and laboratory work in the newly designed Food R & D Lab in combination with internship opportunities will prepare students for a career in the food science industry. The field of food science is vast with numerous employment opportunities in the tri-state area and beyond. Some of the career opportunities in food science include flavor researcher, food production manager, food and drug inspector, quality assurance specialist, process researcher and food safety technologist.The program is designed to give students maximum choice in the focus of their college coursework. Students with an entrepreneurial focus can incorporate business or marketing courses into their curriculum. Practical research and development-focused students will concentrate on a science-heavy curriculum with courses from chemistry, biology and/or psychology, depending on interest. The creation of the food science major ties into one of the main objectives of Clarke's strategic plan – to capitalize on the momentum in the sciences brought about by recent events, including the opening of the science building.Clarke University is a Catholic, liberal arts and sciences university dedicated to preparing students who positively impact their workplace, family and community. Academic offerings include more than 40 undergraduate liberal arts and pre-professional programs, a robust adult degree program and six graduate degree programs. Founded in 1843 by the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Clarke is located near the Mississippi River in the thriving city of Dubuque, Iowa. It is the only BVM university in the country.For more information, contact the Clarke University Marketing and Communication Office at (563)588-6318.

Cute shoe with a fun edge
"I bought these shoes because I needed a cute pair of wedges that had a slightly different edge, and these did the trick. The animal print is really cute along the top - and the woven heel is a nice touch. Being black and brown, they match with a lot of things. They were a cute buy."

"These wedges are super sexy and comfy being that I stand for a long period of time. The huge drawback is the black t strap dye they leave around the front part of the foot where the black braided part is. I usually have to remove it with alcohol which is a great inconvenience."

By Brandon Speck/NEMS Daily Journal
CORINTH – Biggersville coach Cliff Little was worried about Corinth big man Raheem Sorrell.
His worries were confirmed. Sorrell and the Daily Journal's seventh-ranked Warriors hit the offensive glass hard in the fourth quarter Tuesday in a 66-55 win over No. 3 Biggersville.
"I didn't think we crashed the offensive boards at all very well in the first half," Corinth coach Keith Greene said. "I thought Terrel (Payton) played well and Antares (Gwyn) gave us some wonderful minutes."
Payton and Gwyn had nine each as Corinth (21-6) swept the season series 3-0 in front of a rowdy home crowd.
Daniel Simmons hit three 3-pointers in the first quarter as Biggersville (20-7) took an early 13-6 lead.
Corinth stormed back in the second with a 12-3 for a 30-28 halftime lead.
"At times in the first half, we weren't as quick to the ball as they were," Greene said. "They're quick man. They push it so well."
Tied at 44 after three, Sorrell scored off of Jose Contreras' offensive board to open a 10-0 run. He had six of his 22 points in the run and hit 9 of 10 in the second half.
Contreras finished with 12 points.
Daniel Simmons scored 20, Jaylon Gaines 17 for the Biggersville.
His team up six, Soerell had a block. Biggersville had a chance to cut the lead but missed a pair of free throws.
"Sorrell is just a handful and they've got quickness around the perimeter. What are you going to do?" Little said. "They guarded us well, played tremendous defense."
(G) Corinth 62, Biggersville 41: Biggersville scored 20 points in the second to cut into a 14-point lead but Corinth got 20 from Aspen Stricklen and 11 from Alexis Jacobs. Tyler Shelley (22) and Jada Tubbs (17) combined for all but two of Biggersville's points.

Report: Tom Brady agrees to contract extension
Posted by Zuri Berry, Boston.com Staff February 25, 2013 04:36 PM
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has agreed to a contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2017 season, or when he's 40 years old, according to a report.
Brady's deal almost assures he'll retire a Patriot, according to Sports Illustrated's Peter King, and will save the Patriots more than $27 million over the next two seasons.
The contract, King reports, will pay him less money over time but allows the Patriots greater flexibility.
Here are the numbers King reports:
- 2013: $13.8 million
- 2014: $14.8 million
- 2015: $13 million
- 2016: $14 million
- 2017: $15 million
Brady will get a hefty bonus for the contract extension. Read King's report here.

Out and Fresh
About time Kisuke showed up. I was surprised that Kubo didn't waste pages with his specialty black ink.
I almost freaked out for a second because I thought it was Gin that attacked Aizen in the last couple of pages. So the Hogyoku acts like a "Genie" so to speak. The "Ultimate Bad Guy Overpowered by the Ultimate Tool with a Will of It's Own" Route has just appeared. Now we have to see if Kubo is gonna go that way. I hope he doesn't though. That would surely knock the "God Complex" view I have of Aizen right off the map. Looks like everyone I didn't want to show up, so this arc could end, is showing up. I wonder when we'll see the end.
Exactly what i have been waiting for, i really do hope kisuke was aware of the true hougyouku's power unless he just got played by his own creation. And it was also funny with the ichigo and his dad argument. And it was also kind of funny on the page were ichigo blocked gin's sword in the very top panel. And i wonder what kind of attack was that, that urahara used. Any guesses?
So Aizen has literal polt-kai...
Though I gotta say, the Hogyokou kind of gave Chad the short end of the stick, ability wise. Orihime gets the power to completely reject reality and Chad gets a couple of upgrades to his arms. Wonder if Tatsuki or Keigo will manifest anything spectacular.
Holy Shit!!! that was an awesome chapter!!!
anyways now we have 2 questions
1. What is Aizens true will: I believe it's to become a true god and ruler of all 4 demensions (earth, HM, SS and Royal Rhelm)
2. What is Urahara's true will and did he know about the Hougyoko's real power: I believe he did but I'm still unsure if he is good or evil even tho he is my fav character
Edit: @ Suichimo if Keigo's will would manifest his superpower should be the ability to get every women he wants.
1. that's also my thought but since the hougyoku has it's own will it could just take over aizen in due time. Someone here had a theory like that. For all we know the hougyoku planned it all not aizen
2. Again I agree, i think kisuke knows the true power of the hougyoku that's why he wanted to get rid of it in the first place
I love seeing kisuke but where is yoruichi? maybe she is the one who went to HM to free kenpachi and company
so many pages, such small content. As always, it could all be reduced to 4 pages.

In the past couple weeks I've had the honor and pleasure of observing four swims between the Channel Islands and the California mainland: two 12.4-mile crossings from Anacapa Island to Oxnard (sanctioned by the SBCSA), and two 20.1-mile crossings from Catalina Island to Palos Verdes (sanctioned by the CCSF).
Each swim was a remarkable achievement in its own way. From Anacapa, there was a 4:58 crossing (a new record and the first ever under 5 hours) and an 8:58 crossing under conditions which thwarted two 6-person relays on the same day. From Catalina, there was a 13.5-hour crossing and a sub-9 hour crossing (the first ever by a 50+ year old).
I'm quite serious about it being an honor to observe these swims. Having swum across each of these channels myself, I know they're experiences one doesn't forget – experiences that change a person. I know what it feels like to stand on a beach in the middle of the night, look out across that black expanse of water and wonder, "How will I possibly get to the other side?" I know what it feels like to give oneself up to the Channel – and hope it looks upon you favorably.
Each swim is totally unique. The starts and finishes are approximately similar, but everything in between is, basically, unpredictable. I find it interesting and personally fulfilling to watch people negotiate this journey, each in their own way. As an observer, I'm there both as witness and as chaperone – to verify and to ensure safe passage.
Each swimmer used distinctly different approaches in achieving their goal. Indeed, each swimmer's style seemed to, in some way, reflect their personality.
Jim N.'s stroke is workmanlike, seemingly impervious to wind, waves, and chop. It didn't matter what the ocean threw at him. Jim – a veteran of both the English & Catalina Channels – was getting across, no matter how long it took. Anacapa to mainland, 8:58.
Nick V. – a star high-school distance pool swimmer – is lithe and powerful. The kid pulls a lot of water. He's not old enough to vote, but he approached the the channel swim with a seriousness and tenacity that belied his age. With an hour left, he was right on record pace, and we told him. He picked his stroke rate up from 68 to 75 – just like that – and smashed the record. I pity the kids who have to race him in dual meets. Anacapa to mainland, 4:58.
Jaimie M. is precise and deliberate. Each hand placed gently in the water – no bubbles. 44 strokes per minute, precise as a metronome. 44 SPM would be helicopter-evacuation time for me, but for Jaimie it's a moving meditation. One… stroke… at… a… time. All the way across the Channel. Catalina to mainland, 13:28.
Ned D. – gregarious and full of energy – makes lots of bubbles. A former water polo player, he churns up the water with a tempo almost inconceivable for someone his size and age. A force of nature – as a man and as a swimmer. Catalina to mainland, 8:50.
I'll conclude with some few brief nuggets:
- Feeding from a kayak is generally more efficient; but always have a contingency plan to feed from the boat in case of snafus.
- Narrow, "tippy" kayaks may have problems in these channels, where swells are often coming from your side.
- There's often (but not always) a "downhill" cross current about a mile offshore from Oxnard. Aim for the middle of Silver Strand to hit the southern edge. The current will affect slower swimmers more than faster swimmers.
- At the finish – whether sandy or rocky – stay horizontal (hands & knees) longer than you think you need to. Just trust me.

For Joe Clark it's practically a dream come true.
The Eldorado native, who played for the Eagles in high school and has continued to be a part of the program in recent years, serving as an assistant coach in football and baseball, was named the school's head boys' basketball coach Thursday night at the Eldorado School Board meeting.
Clark, 34, graduated from Eldorado High School in 1997 and replaces TJ Zurliene his resignation was accepted from the EHS school board back in March.
Clark went on to play football at McKendree College and played a year of junior varsity basketball for the Bearcats.
Prior to Zurliene, Eldorado was led by Greg Goodley, who now serves as the school's athletic director and who Clark spent two years playing varsity basketball for.
That time proved to be very crucial for Clark, who says there are positives and negatives he can take away " Clark said of Goodley. "I played for him, I coached for him and probably 90 percent of what I know came from coach Goodley.
"That being said, I feel like in some ways I'm limited in my knowledge, so I need to get around some other coaches and get some different perspectives and see what works for me."
Clark says he has not yet met with any of his players, a move he believes will come up next week. As far as his first order of business is concerned, Clark intends to look at player development.
"I don't think it's too late in the game to going. I'll come up with a summer schedule and dive right in and start getting after it," Clark said. "This is an exciting opportunity, being from Eldorado, playing here, coaching here and this is something that even myself and Brandon Hampton (head football coach) talk about is this is something we dreamed about when we were kids."
Clark, who also serves as one of Hampton's top assistant's for football, will stay in that role.
Clark admits that while he might have a lot on his plate, his desire to do what he loves is only attainable because of his relationship with his wife, Ashley.
"She's a great woman, mother and friend. I couldn't ask for a more supportive wife and someone to take care of Draxtyn, Davyn and Owen."
In addition to player development, Clark said part of his agenda will be building a coaching staff, as well as, making upgrades to the facilities at Duff-Kingston Gymnasium.
Clark also confirmed that Eldorado will be a part of this year's Harrisburg Invitational to start the season and the Eagles will host Harrisburg at Duff-Kingston on January 11.

We've been prattling on for months that exchange-traded notes and funds tied to the "fear gauge" are for day traders, not buy-and-hold investors. Wells Fargo & Co. analyst Christopher Harris links the observation this morning to the prospects of CBOE Holdings' (CBOE) most promising futures market.
In a phrase: Not good. Harris is concerned that smalltime investors could lose interest in the products on account of their unusual construction, and the ETNs themselves are a big driver of VIX futures trading volume. He's also not convinced that institutional investors will pick up these tools as quickly as some think.
CBOE just announced today that total futures trading on CBOE's CFE futures exchange rose an astounding 234% this November versus a year ago. The growth from October to November was a cooler (though still strong) 12%. Hopes are pretty high that this rapid adoption will continue.
But Harris, who has a "market perform" ratings on CBOE's stock, writes that Wall Street "could be overlooking the risks with these products and, with expectations biased to the upside, the stage could be set for some modest volume disappointments."

Center for Entrepreneurship Receives $2.2 Million Gift
The Center for Entrepreneurship at Saint Louis University's John Cook School of Business has received a $2.2 million long-term gift from local entrepreneur Jim Allsup.
|Jim Allsup
The gift from Allsup, founder of Allsup Inc., a nationwide provider of Social Security disability, veteran's disability appeal and Medicare services, is the largest in the Center's 25-year history. The investment will enable the expansion of outreach programs for youth and high school students.
"This significant and generous gift will strengthen SLU's commitment to serving our community by allowing us to reach even more young people through our nationally recognized entrepreneurship center," said University President Lawrence Biondi, S.J. "On behalf of everyone at Saint Louis University, we thank Jim Allsup for his outstanding leadership and his unwavering support of our mission."
Allsup currently sponsors the Center's Allsup Summer Academy, a weeklong immersive summer program at the Cook School, that brings high school students from across the country together to explore, learn, develop and present innovative solutions to real world market needs.
"The big picture is to introduce kids to entrepreneurship at a young age and help integrate concepts within their school curriculum," Allsup said.
"Our ultimate goal is to make youth entrepreneurship a year-round initiative at the Cook School and SLU. This means smart kids who want to take a different approach to pursuing their innovative business ideas can find the tools to help them succeed."
Ellen Harshman, Ph.D., J.D., dean of the Cook School, lauds the commitment of today's successful entrepreneurs in helping develop the entrepreneurial leaders of the future.
"Jim Allsup's generous gift, along with his commitment to developing the entrepreneurial spirit, is the foundation that helps provides budding entrepreneurs with the tools and knowledge to turn an idea into an actual product or service," Harshman said.
Tim Hayden, director of the Center for Entrepreneurship, said the use of learning, problem solving and case studies to instill an understanding of the entrepreneurial mindset is invaluable.
"For the past 39 years, Saint Louis University has been teaching the next generation of college entrepreneurs," Hayden said. "We have been able to leverage that experience and help introduce entrepreneurial education to a younger audience because of gifts like this from Jim Allsup."
Allsup's donation not only allows for the expansion of programs for youth but also provides a view to how entrepreneurship partners with the SLU philosophy to be people for others and create businesses like Allsup that serve those with very specific needs.

After the recent election when Emery County voters placed their votes against the beginning of a monument proposal for the San Rafael Swell, management will continue under the Bureau of Land Management's resource management plan. This plan is currently in the stages of being rewritten and revisions added to the existing plan.
Floyd Johnson from the Price Field Office of the BLM said, "The Price River District and the San Rafael district will be combined into one in the new RMP. This will be much easier and will just contain one set of requirements instead of the two we are now working under with the two districts. In the Emery and Carbon county area the BLM manages 2.5 million acres of public land. They also manage 2.8 million acres of mineral rights; these mineral rights cover places where the BLM owns the minerals and also areas which include private and forest land. The BLM deals with those who want to explore and develop minerals on the BLM lands as well as those who want to develop private land, these all fall within the BLMs jurisdiction. We deal with where to lease coal, oil and gas and we determine what if any sand and gravel operations or clay and gypsum permits will be allotted.
"The RMP deals with a number of things, grazing is a big issue right now as well as OHV use and other recreation uses. We will address camping and determine where it can take place. We will also address where to establish mountain bike trails and horse trails. The Division of Wildlife Resources manages the animals and the BLM and the forest service manage the habitat for those animals. The areas within the RMP contain critical range for wildlife and it must be managed to protect that value. We will also look at threatened and endangered species, plants, animals, vertibrates and fish; we will look at land tenure where right of ways exists for corridors for utilities. We will look at areas where the BLM might dispose of land and areas where we might acquire land. We will look at areas where we might allow cities to acquire BLM land where there is a public need.
"We will look at river management and the Green River will be discussed. We will look at the wilderness study areas. We will look at areas of BLM land which display wilderness characteristics. We will look at areas which deserve cultural protection areas such as the Buckhorn Panel and the Rochester Panel as well as many others. We will look at paleontological resources and the management of the Cleveland-Lloyd dinosaur quarry. We will look at fire management within the area and develop zones and areas where we would need to put out a fire and areas which we would let burn that weren't effecting anything. Fire can be a beneficial device.
"We will also be addressing air and water quality and wild and scenic rivers. There has been a lot of discussion on the wild and scenic rivers lately. There will also be different classes of visual resource management to maintain visual resources.
"We will also look at areas where we would allow wood gathering to take place and areas where we wouldn't.
"All of these different areas and more will be folded into a comprehensive plan. People need to realize that not all uses will be allowed in all areas. The BLM will determine where certain activities are authorized and where they are not.
"The notice of the beginning of the RMP process was placed on the federal register in Nov. 2001. In December of 2001 we put out the planning bulletin one and the public meetings were held in Jan. 2002. The comment period where the public could respond with their issues and concerns resulted in a total of 11,000 comments; 9,800 of which said to accept the Red Rock Wilderness proposal. We looked at each piece individually and looked, gleaned and reviewed them. These were included in the scoping report and are also on the website. The RMP is being completed in a number of portions. The first part is the synthesis of the information. The next part will include public meetings where we will identify major issues and concerns and they will be addressed. It is impossible to address all issues, but it sets up a spectrum. We will deal with comments that say in the case of OHV use, to leave everything open and some that will say to close everything. We deal with a full range of comments and it is our responsibility to achieve balance in dealing with these issues.
"We go for in the planning development and establish alternatives. These alternatives will encompass all of the spectrum to a reasonable degree. A scoping report has been prepared for each of the resource areas and the comments will help to guide us as we move into planning. We are nearing completion of the mineral potential report and it is on the website but isn't fully completed. We are still working on the coal section which will be added to the report.
"What we are doing is taking an inventory to know where the minerals are and this will play out as we move forward with the alternatives. It could ultimately mean that more than one use is feasible in different areas and an area wouldn't specifically be set aside for mineral exploration at the expense of other uses. The BLM works to decide and pinpoint higher uses of the lands and places where multiple use of an area of land can be adapted. We will receive public input on these sorts of decisions, but we aren't there yet in the planning process.
"We have requested an extension to the department of the interior for the RMP process but we don't know yet if it will be granted. We will continue to move forward. We are involved in ongoing efforts which are not complete yet like the baseline socio-economic study and air quality study. We have contracted with Booz, Allen and Hamilton to help on these studies. They wrote the minerals report and have been going through and identifying comments. We have augmented our mailing list and added the names of all those who have commented in the process. The names have been added to the data base. They have also been working on the socio-economic study and have been in contact with both counties. They have a draft copy of an air quality report prepared. They have been helpful in doing a lot of the leg work for the RMP process.
"The travel plan will be folded into the RMP. We will have a final travel plan in January or February of 2003. The BLM developed four alternatives which ranged from keeping everything open to alternative three which was the most restrictive. The process of closing roads was based on a set of criteria. We are closing roads with conflicts such as threatened and endangered species and some are based upon threatened riparian zones. We received comments on the travel plan and the substance of each comment was analyzed. We received comments about routes which weren't on the map and these have been added to the map. Also there were places that routes didn't exist which have been adjusted. Some people have said to close a route and then listed their reasons. We will look at their reasoning and see if this reason will change our position on the route.
"People who have listed a reason as, 'it is a beautiful place to ride,' with no data; then we can't react to comments like that. Also people who have said to close everything, we can't adjust to comments like that. We're analyzing data in that process now. The preferred BLM alternative was number four and we are leaning toward alternative four without major provisions either way. The numbers have probably shifted a little, but alternative four leaves 700 miles of road open and the base is slightly under 1,100 miles of road. The RS-2477 road issue is still being decided and that will take precedence over our travel plan if they determine a route is to be left open that is not on our plan. We have had a RMP on the Swell dealing with OHV use restricted to designated routes since 1991, people have ignored this travel plan. No OHV use was allowed on any roadway that didn't already exist. We will be closing routes that are user created. We have sustained a lot of damage to the resource and will be more restrictive to protect the resource, but there is an awful lot still left open.
"Routes are looked at in zones and in certain zones problems exist such as threatened and endangered species and those routes are likely to be closed and also routes that don't go anywhere and don't accomplish anything; it doesn't make sense to keep them open. We will rehabilitate roads as funds allow to discourage the temptation for riders to use them.
"The OHV groups have been very helpful in trail work and we have plans to use volunteers for maintenance projects. We would also like to encourage the environmental community to get involved in some of these projects as well as the BLM public lands day which targets an area for improvement each year. Education is vital to let the OHV community know which routes are open and which are not. Riders can educate other riders and that is vital. We need a good map which designates the routes for people to go. Signs are also a big help which indicate no vehicles beyond a certain point," said Johnson. The Swell will continue to be in the forefront of discussion in the county and with others who are interested in its future.
(The Emery County Progress will continue the discussion of the BLM and the Swell in future issues)

I will probably be wrong, but I just don't think this movie is going to do well
When I first saw Johnny Depp in costume at the theater, I started laughing hysterically. It definitely exceed the budget, but I don't think it's going to do as well as they hoped. It looks awful.ReplyCancel
Why doesn't Johnny direct or write? Probs just doesn't want to. It just seems like he's got such an abundance of creativity and ideas, and lord knows he's been around film sets for so long he knows what works and what doesn't.ReplyCancel
Hollywood just doesn't get it. No one is interested in remakes of old movies, or movies of old TV series (or is it serieses?) Try something original for a change! Preferably something that needs actual acting instead of overwhelming special effects. One of the best movies I've seen in years was The King's Speech and the special effects were minimal – it was the ACTING and WRITING that made it a good movie.ReplyCancel
SusanB, I'm with you…I hate it when TV shows or movies rely on effects or wild scenes to keep people watching. It's like the execs think the audience is not intelligent enough to pay attention to a good plot and great acting, so they throw explosions and boobs on the screen.
I have said that to my hubby many times about American Horror Story this season (and some of last). Too reliant on sex to keep the audience. It's really irritating.ReplyCancel
I don't see the stink lines coming off this, but neither am I eager to see it.
@ seachica – Doubt the nursing home crowd has been interested in any of the many remakes. I'm a baby boomer so not quite ready for the home yet, but I'm not interested in these films either. Also not interested in anything Disney makes including Disneyland and Disney World.ReplyCancel
I'm gonna keep my pie hole shut because huge Depp fan that I am , I busted out laughing when I'd first read Disney was making a movie based on a theme park ride. I was certain my Johnny had fallen on hard times and needed the cash. WTF do I know?ReplyCancel
What is with the halloween costumne on Depp? Tonto never dressed like that for everyday! And he didnt talk to horses, or put ranger up on high platform, so he cld come back to life and , I dont know, fall off and really die??!! The oringinal story was fine as it was.ReplyCancel
I can't imagine how the movie could possibly be good enough to get past the enormous problem of having a white man play a Native character. And yeah, I know he's technically considered to be Indian, but that doesn't do anything to solve the big problem of Hollywood not having enough decent roles for people of color.ReplyCancel
I have to ditto several of you, [and i'm one of the older posters so take my comments w/a big old grain of salt].
The 'Powers that Be' in Hollywood just don't get it [Maybe because they are losers who can't get girls w/o casting them after subservient, sexual exploits?].
Please give us some original writing w/new concepts. Please give us brilliant, cogent, witty repartee, or mordant, deep thought about issues we deal with. We really don't need or want to be exposed to stupendous sound/visual/digital effects to take us out of our ability to suspend disbelief.
We don't need humongous 'blow your mind' special effects. The King's Speech is an excellent example of a film that seemed to cover a simple boring 'who cares' topic that was absolutely riveting in its final edited cut. I had to really lobby/urge several friends to see 'TKS' because it sounded so 'boring' to them. They unanimously agreed that the film was well worth their time and money.
By the same token, Iron Man had lots of fabulous special effects, but Pepper was a strong presence in the film. So, yes, please use the technology available now, but don't drop the creativity that can be provided by skilled writers and talented actors and actresses.ReplyCancel

Shimano Borona Tackle Bag
Place Your Order
Customer Feedback
Comments: Great tackle bag, purchased the large size locally for $10 more and am stoked to bring it out. It's water resistant so a tarp or rain poncho is going to be a must. Comes with 3 3700 size boxes, I fit 3 more in the top and a smaller Plano on either side. Lot's of space, only wish it came with a traditional carry strap not the shoulder strap alone.
From: Mike: Ontario,Canada
Comments: Looks like a decent bag. But seriously the fishing industry is just getting stupid with their pricing.
