Through the haze of over 1,100 combined total yards, Tyrell Williams hauled in two touchdowns over 65 yards and A.J. Hull returned an interception for a touchdown leading Western Oregon to a 46-34 win over Dixie State in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play.
Senior quarterback Griff Robles (Spanish Fork, UT/Spanish Fork) threw for a career-high 460 yards on 38-of-56 passing with four touchdown passes. His favorite target was senior tight end Joe Don Duncan (Corona, CA/Notre Dame) who had 14 catches, his best total in a Dixie State uniform, for 170 yards. Duncan was held without a TD reception for the first time in seven games.
Senior wide receiver Mitch Frei (Santa Clara, UT/Snow Canyon) caught seven passes for 103 yards and two touchdowns – a feat he has achieved only one other time in his career (Oct. 27, 2012 against Simon Fraser).
Sophomore tailback Myles Burton (Berkeley, CA/Rodriguez) led the running attack with 47 rushing yards for the Red Storm. Joel Davis (Natchez, MS/Natchez) added 26 yards in his first action in three weeks.
Defensively, senior Jake Duncan (Corona, CA/Notre Dame) and juniors Jake Miller (Tremonton, UT/Bear River) & Zac Christian (Plain City, UT/Fremont) each had six tackles. Christian added a pair of interceptions and redshirt freshman Deshawn Perkins (West Jordan, UT/West Jordan) recovered a fumble.
Despite the solid individual performances, Dixie State (2-5/2-4 GNAC) could not stop Western Oregon (4-3, 4-2 GNAC) on big plays and crucial third/fourth down conversions.
The Wolves scored on their opening possession of the game, driving 61 yards in eight plays. Michael Reeve hauled in the first of four Ryan Bergman TD passes for the early 7-0 lead. Both teams has sustained subsequent drives stalled out by punts before the Red Storm scored late in the first quarter.
Dillon Bishoff (Monroe, UT/South Sevier) booted a 22-yard field goal capping a 14-play, 85-yard drive to make the score 7-3.
The Storm forced WOU to punt, but the first of the Wolves' three big plays pushed the lead to 14-3. A.J. Hull went to the house with a pick-six of Robles on a drive that could have given Dixie State its first lead.
Western Oregon returned the mistake favor on the next drive. On a high punt, Perkins recovered a fumble by Lucas Gonsalves. On the next play, Robles connected with Randon Willard for a 20-yard score.
The shootout officially sparked on the first play of WOU's next drive. Big play number two made the score 20-10 - a wide-open pitch and catch touchdown from Bergman to Williams for 74 yards.
Dixie fumbled away its next possession on the 13th play of the drive. Duncan lost the football inside the five-yard line, recovered by WOU. Christian pulled in the first of his picks two plays into the next drive and set up DSU for another touchdown. Robles scored from 11 yards out to make the score 20-17.
With a short clock, Western Oregon tacked on another TD to lead 27-17 at halftime.
Williams notched the third big play on the first play of the Wolves' opening drive in the second half. Bergman hit his flanker for 67 yards and a 34-17 lead.
A second Bishoff field goal closed the gap to 34-20 before Devauntee Hoffman added a score for the Wolves.
Robles two scoring plays to Frei put the Storm within six points. In the third quarter, Frei evaded two tackles on his way for a 22-yard score. Early in the 4th quarter, a leaping grab in the near corner completed Frei's great individual performance.
The Storm set the stage for the comeback after blocking a Jose Correa field goal and setting up a drive with 7:47 remaining. Robles hit a big play over the middle to Duncan and another 18-yard completion to Antonio Morton (Seattle, WA/Ballard) down to the WOU 12. The drive stalled on a pair on WOU sacks by William Kanongata'a.
Hoffman added an insurance touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
Bergman threw for 407 yards and four touchdowns. Williams accounted for 184 yards on just five grabs. Hull led the WOU defense with 12 tackles.
Dixie State remains at home next week for its annual Homecoming game. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. as the Red Storm host Humboldt State.

Great snow boots!
"I fell in love with these boots after I saw the price they were in store. They were 14.94, but with a $5 off coupon I had, I got them for less than $10! They are very comfortable, even though a bought them half a size larger than what I usually wear, since I got them in the clearance section. They are a bit heavy, but they are great for snowy weather. I always wear these boots when I'm going to spend a long while outside in snow since they keep my feet warm and I don't slip on ice wearing them. Would highly recommend! Excellent snow boot!"

Runs Long As Advertised
"As others have said, this boot runs quite a bit long. I usually wear an 8.5 but due to previous reviews and available sizes I ordered a 7. Fits slightly snug, but comfortable all the same. Cute boots and would recommend them to others!"

Europeans just seem to love their Android devices, with Samsung selling almost half of all smartphones sold in major European markets, according to new data from WPP/Kantar Worldpanel ComTech.
With the rapid penetration of Google's Android operating system growing across the region, Android-based smartphones accounted for more than 70 per cent of sales in the top five European markets in the three months to the end of May, compared with 61 per cent in the same period the year before, according to research by Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, published in the Financial Times. By comparison, Apple's iPhone sales have a share of less than a fifth and Windows phones comprise about 7 per cent.
However, Americans seem to lean towards Apple, whose iPhone was right out in front in terms of growing market share in the US, up 3.5 per cent to 42 per cent. Google's platform stayed steady in the US, however, with a share of about half the US market over the past year.
Paul Moore, global director at Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, part of WPP, which compiled the data, says: "Across Europe, Android growth remains strong. However, in the US, Apple's expanded distribution agreement with T-Mobile is helping the iPhone keep Android growth at bay.
"T-Mobile is the smallest of the big four US carriers, but it does have the capacity to give iOS a boost, particularly as 28 per cent of its customers plan to buy an iPhone when they next upgrade," he told the FT.

Five Ways to Lift Your Leader
by Doug Dickerson
posted Jul 29 2013 8:02AM
Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitudes and in actions
. – Harold S. Geneen
In his book the 360° Leader, John Maxwell shares a story about President Harry S. Truman speaking at the National War College. In the speech, Truman said, "You know, it's easy for the Monday morning quarterback to say what the coach should have done, after the game is over. But when the decision is up before you-and on my desk I have a motto which says 'The Buck Stops Here'- the decision has to be made."
On another occasion Truman said, "The president-whoever he is- has to decide. He can't pass the buck to anybody. No one else can do the deciding for him. That's his job." For the leader, the weight of responsibility can be heavy burden to carry. Seldom do others see behind the scenes the struggles many leaders deal with on a regular basis.
To be sure, stress in the workplace is something to reckon with on many levels. The Huffington Post (
) reported on recent finding from the third annual Work Stress Survey, conducted by Harris Interactive. The results last year found that 73 percent of Americans were stressed at work. This year, that number jumped to 83 percent. Only 17 percent of workers said nothing about their jobs causing them stress.
Regardless of your present station in your organizational structure there are things you can do to lift your leader. Why is this important? When you commit yourself to lifting your leader you are crating the kind of culture within your organization that can have residual effects that ripple through your organization in a positive way. Consider these five for starters.
Lighten your leader's load.
When you lighten the load of your leader you are freeing up his or her ability to focus on larger and more consequential things for your organization. Lightening the load happens as you look past just what is good for you and look at what is good for the organization. When you lighten the leader's load you increase his capacity to grow.
Listen to your leader's concerns
. The "Buck Stops Here" responsibility weighs heavily on your leader. You can lighten the load of your leader as you listen to the verbal and pay attention to the non-verbal communications. When you know what is on the mind of your leader you can do your part to put his mind at ease.
Leverage your leader's strengths.
You always want your leader in a position of strength in any given situation. Leveraging the strength of your leader can also include finding creative ways of assisting in his weaker areas. When you are contentious of this it can be a real boost to your leader and can give your company extra leverage it may need. Strong leaders make for strong teams. Lift up the strengths of your leader and everyone benefits.
Learn from your leader.
You can lift, encourage, and empower your leader when you commit yourself to learn from him. The investment he or she has made in you should be cause for enough consideration that they feel you have some potential. Succession in leadership is not a birthright, it's earned. You can lift your leader by showing respect and learning from their experiences and expertise.
Laugh with your leader.
Leadership is a journey filled with many surprises. It's filled with joys and heartache and a little bit of everything else in between. Charles M. Schultz said, "If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself." Never underestimate the power of laughter in leadership. You can lift your leader when you laugh with your leader.
Lifting your leader is a matter of strong intuition, being a little less selfish, and realizing that one day you may be a position where you'd like to call upon these acts of kindness. When you lift your leader you are growing as a leader.

|In response to Re: 60" Remodeler Shower Needed
: : We just bought a house 3 months ago and came to find out that 2 of the 3 AquaGlass tub/showers had cracks in the bottom and were spongy in the bottom. After going back and forth with the manufacturer for 3 months they are willing to pay a portion of the repair cost. What I want to do is have 1 repaired and replace the other with a shower that has a seat in it to accommodate my wife's arthritis. Problem is, I haven't found a 60" remodeler shower. All I can find are 1 piece units. Does anyone have any idea where I can get such an animal? Thanks.
: I just received a nice remodeler from Swan Corp. This unit is the same size as a bathtub 32X60. I ordered thru Home Depot ~$280.

Video: Map shows the 679 places in Norwich where Nazis dropped their bombs during the Second World War
09:13 20 February 2014
It is an apparently innocuous map of Norwich with hundreds of tags in it.
The conservation of the map
Specialist conservator Yuki Uchida undertook the painstaking conservation of the map.
Mrs Uchida said the entire project had taken up to eight months, which included planning how best to restore and preserve the map, as well as carrying out the work.
She said the map would have been used in the Air Raid Precautions (ARP) report centre, which was originally located in Norwich's market place near to City Hall, which was where ARP headquarters were based.
Wardens came into the centre to report the damage, which was then written down and plotted on the map. The weight of the bombs were estimated from the size of the holes they left and the scale of the damage.
Mrs Uchida said the ARP headquarters were moved to Heigham Grove in 1940 and it is believed the report centre was closed. A new report centre was opened at the technical college in Ipswich Road in 1943, but it is unclear where the map would have been housed from 1940 to 1943.
For many years it was stored in the city engineering department at City Hall, until 2007, when it was transferred to the Norfolk Record Office.
She said: "Some of the labels had fallen off and others were only just hanging on, which is why it needed to be restored as a matter of urgency.
"The paper labels were twisted and folded and the metal pins were rusty and leaving a stain on the paper."
The map was also backed on cheap quality board which was causing the paper to deteriorate.
Historian Frank Meeres said: "Although the map has always existed, in effect we haven't been able to read it until the marvellous work that Yuki has done.
"All the information was stored on tiny little labels, fitted on to the map by pins, and those were folded and unreadable.
"Yuki has gone through them all and flattened them and made the information available.
"I was looking just now at the very first air raid on Norwich, which was on July 7, 1940. It was in the daytime which was unusual and the first bombs fells on the Salhouse Road area of Norwich which is where Barnards were making military equipment.
"But what people remember about that raid is the end of it. There were seven girls - teenagers - who were killed coming up out of Colman's, walking up Carrow Hill."
Perhaps the best-known raids on Norwich were the Baedeker raids, which took place on two nights at the end of April 1942.
They were so-called because the cities targeted by the Germans were reputedly selected from the German Baedeker Tourist Guide to Britain for being historically significant.
During these two raids 230 people were killed in Norwich, with 388 killed overall in the city throughout the whole war.
But each of the 679 tags tells a terrible tale. For they show where in the city the Nazis dropped their devastating bombs between 1940-1943.
Now, members of the public have a chance to see the fascinating section on display for the first time - or view it digitally.
The Second World War map - which has pinholes in addition to the 679 tags, suggesting more bombs may have landed on Norwich - was created by the Civil Defence Air Raid Precautions section.
It came to form part of the national bomb census, a countrywide effort to record information relating to damage sustained during World War Two bombing raids, with tags indicating the location, date and size of the explosive.
Local historian, author and archivist Frank Meeres said the six foot square map was a valuable resource for helping people find out about which buildings were damaged during the war.
He said: "For members of the public it gives an immediate pictorial impression of just how many bombs fell in Norwich in the three and a half years between 1940 and 1943.
"There are nearly 700 pins on this map and each one represents an explosive bomb and many people in Norwich will have memories of the air raids and of bombs falling."
Now, following conservation, the delicate 74-year-old document is in its best shape for years but still needs to be kept in carefully controlled conditions to preserve it, so unfortunately there are no plans for the map to go on public display.
However Norfolk Record Office, where the map will be stored, has taken a series of high-quality digitial images which can be accessed for free on a computer at the office, at County Hall, and which will also be available to buy on CD.
He added: "The record office has, separately, very detailed files of every air raid in the war.
"Now you can look at the pin in the street next to where you live, see the date and pin there and come to the record office and get the file, which will tell you which houses were hit and what was damaged.
"It's a finding aid to help you to get into the detailed files."
Patrick Achilles, from Attleborough, came to the record office to see the map and to hear a talk about its conservation.
The 72 year old former squadron leader was in the Royal Air Force for 37 years and was involved in armaments, including bomb disposal, so he was keen to learn more about how the map would have been used.
He said: "I didn't appreciate quite what goes on at the record office in terms of looking after our history and conserving it for future generations."
Copies of the CD are available from the record office and cost £10.

The Forum of Young Global Leaders is a community of over 800 enterprising, socially-minded men and women selected under the age of 40, who operate as a force for good to overcome barriers that elsewhere stand in the way of progress. The community is made up of leaders from all walks of life, from every region of the world, and from every stakeholder group in society.
The community's mission is built on three objectives:
1. Action and Impact:
To operate as a force for good, scaling individual and collective solutions to global and local challenges.
2. Collaboration and Community:
To build a global community of peers who capitalise on diverse talents, experiences, and networks to achieve more together than they could separately.
3. Leadership and Learning:
To transform leaders through personal and collective experiences that build knowledge and engender better understandings of global, regional and industry issues.
Nominated under the age of 40, Young Global Leaders (YGLs) are proposed through a qualified nomination process and assessed according to rigorous selection criteria that creates a diverse and truly representative body, while accepting only the very best leaders who have already demonstrated their commitment to serving society at large.
Throughout the five year programme, YGLs are fully involved in the Forum's meetings, initiatives and research and interact with the Forum's wider multistakeholder community. YGLs have a powerful role in determining the community's activities. They are governed by a foundation board of respected leaders and are managed by a dynamic team of young professionals based in Geneva and China. Set up as an independent, not-for-profit foundation under the Swiss government, the Forum of Young Global Leaders is an integral part of the World Economic Forum.
The digital revolution is changing everything – even our democracies.
Public institutions and officials must adapt to remain relevant in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Here's how.

By K.L. MCIFFUtah State Representative
It has not taken the Legislature long to immerse itself in major issues of great public interest. I mention two in the education realm:
So called "school vouchers" which would give up to $3,000 per student to help fund the cost of attending private schools, including parochial schools.
Elimination of in-state college tuition for students who have attended local public schools but whose parents are not lawfully in the country.
If the voucher bill were to become law, it would face a constitutional challenge arising out of Utah's unique religious/political history. Great care was taken by the framers to ensure that state-funded schools would be free from sectarian control. The bill attempts to dance around this limitation, but it will not be easy. The subsidy employs a graduated formula that starts at the poverty level and reaches parents with an income over $100,000. That covers well over 90 percent of the populace. However, this generous ceiling is offset by the bill's exclusion of all students now enrolled in private schools. They can never qualify. This may give rise to a constitutional challenge based upon "equal protection" grounds. Even if the voucher concept were legally sound, its ultimate merit is open to serious debate.
The proposal to disqualify a particular group of Utah high school graduates from paying in-state college tuition tugs at your heart strings. These young men and women are caught in a debate not of their making. For whatever reason, their parents are in the country illegally. The future of such persons is in a state of uncertainty throughout America. We all hope for a national solution, but that does not appear to be forthcoming. What do we do in the meantime? The children are here, they are real, we have educated them in our public schools, and they cannot be put on hold while a solution pends. Aside from any entitlement on their part, what course best serves the general public interest? On balance, I believe there is no safeguard of persons and property and no ingredient more protective of the general welfare of a free people than an educated and enlightened populace. Conversely, our society is no where at greater risk than with displaced persons who are here but excluded from the opportunity to move forward.

Skip to comments.(Ukrainian) Military storm airfield, town in eastern Ukraine, wounded reported - protesters
Posted on 04/15/2014 7:13:20 AM PDT by kronos77
Ukrainian troops are storming an airfield in the eastern city of Kramatorsk, said anti-Maidan activists as cited by RIA Novosti. The activists added that several people were injured.
Ukrainian troops approached the military airfield in armored personnel carriers between the eastern cities of Kramatorsk and Slavyansk, the peoples militia located at the airfield told RIA Novosti on the phone.
They started negotiating with the peoples militia, which is in control of the airfield. The shooting started unexpectedly. There are injured among the peoples militia, and there may be deaths, they said.
Other members of the militia have blocked the entrance to Kramatorsk and are ready to defend the city, the activists added.

At the same time, the eastern city of Slavyansk is being raided by Ukrainian troops, the head of the Donbass peoples militia, Sergey Tsyplakov, told RIA Novosti.
Currently there is a major attack on Slavyansk, armored personnel vehicles are entering the city there are many troops. The men are getting ready to defend [the city], he said.
In turn, the Ukrainian media, quoting the Ministry of Defense, announced a special operation in Kramatorsk on Tuesday. However, they provided no further details.

BREAKING: Reports of 11 dead as Kiev starts military op in Kramatorsk, E
Dnipropetrovsk promises Putin a second Stalingrad
Posted on April 15, 2014 by marquepro
Deputy Governor of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Administration Hennadiy Korban
A special forces battalion called Dnipro is being formed in Dnipropetrovsk, announced Deputy Governor of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Administration Hennadiy Korban, as reported by TSN, April 14. According to Korban, the formation of the battalion will begin this week and the selected soldiers will not represent any political organizations.
Korban said that organizers are especially interested in volunteers with battle experience and previous experience in armed forces or law enforcement agencies. The salary of an ordinary soldier in this elite unit will be not less that the UAH equivalent of US $1,000. A commanders salary will be the equivalent of US $5,000-10,000. Partial funding will come from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the rest from the Dnipropetrovsk Governors team, he said.
For the post of commander, experienced officers Afghans (Ed. veterans of the war in Afghanistan) will be considered and will be selected according to their military abilities and accomplishments and not on the basis of relationships and connections, Korban explained.
The battalion will be armed with weapons from warehouses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Operations will be planned and carried out in collaboration with government agencies. The Governor of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Ihor Kolomoysky will have personal control over the actions of the Dnipro special forces battalion he said.
First of all, I want to warn all these so-called green men that, in contrast to others, we are not cowards, and any attempt to seize buildings of the Security Service or the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be met immediately with lethal force. Anyone who wants to arrange a war in this region needs to know that Dnipropetrovsk will become a second Stalingrad for them, but this battle will be won by the Ukrainian people, he said.
As previously reported, Ihor Kolomoysky funded fuel and body armor for military units of the Southern Operational Command in March.

This is Ukrainians killing Russians who live in Ukraine.
And all this started with a simple coup by the same people of the 2004 Revolution.....a few months prior to scheduled democratic elections.
Kiev regime, as I have said, is trying to form armed forces by enlisting all kind of people.
Smells like Balkans! :) Goood old democrat wars. Zbigi&Clintons!
It's the regular Russian Army in Ukraine. Plenty of proof now. Why are you are being willful blind?
If Putin was planning on violence before making his move, he has it now.
Air attacks against separatists. I was afraid of this.
This now gives Putin the justification to invoke THE OBAMA DOCTRINE, and declare a "No Fly Zone" over Eastern Ukraine.
Using Obama in Libya as the precedent, that would mean he can also bomb with impunity, while putting Special Forces/Contractor boots on the ground for "Recon" and "training the Rebels".
Obamassss Chickenzzzzzz are about to come home roosting, I fear.
Good info here in English
Remember the Croatians beat the Serbs.
Former Ambassador to Russia Predicts Scary and Bloody Day in Ukraine
Michael McFaul, until recently the Obama White Houses man in Moscow, said during a Tuesday morning MSNBC appearance that he is very concerned about what might transpire if and when Ukrainian forces clash with the protestors to take back control of the eastern parts of the country.
I think this is a very scary day, said McFaul, now a professor at Stanford University.
He said clashes between Ukrainian CT forces and pro-Russia groups could produce a very bloody moment.
So wherever a Russian goes the people must bend to their will? If they're really Russians, go home to Russia. If they want to live in Ukraine, be a Ukrainian.
Live updates here:
Are those fierce Kremlin special forces invading free and democratic Ukraine?
Nope. Salt of the Earth. You know, morons.
Seeing several tweets about Ukraininans claiming the 45th Spetznaz has arrived, or is arriving, in Slovyansk and Kramatorsk.
All unconfirmed, as of yet.
There's some sick folks enjoying this. Somebody else brought up LaRouche yesterday and I think that suit fits.
That pic PROVES it. They are obviously crack Russian troops, not just Ukraine citizens of Russian heritage. /s
No, they're paid provocateurs. Putinistas can sit tight. Putin will invade.
Russians who could go home to Russia.
Live feed:
I've come across members of our Borscht Brigade posting from LaRouche in the past. It's tough to say whether they actually believe in it, or post it because it agrees with the Kremlin line, and they are simply unfamiliar with LaRouche.
Russians who could go home to Russia."
They are home.
Do you also tell blacks to go back home to Africa?
Map of eastern Ukraine. The second red dot from the top is Kramatorsk.
Thanks! Good to have live updates from both sides.
The tweets are coming fast and furious, almost too fast to keep up.
"Helicopter gunned down in Slovyansk."
"Rebels in Slovyansk restricting access thru some roadblocks around town."
"Kramatorsk and Slovyansk are now without internet and cellular.."
I'm thinking, for some reason, of militantly Spanish speaking illegal aliens in the southwest USA. I'm thinking of the "barrio". I'm thinking of terms like "reconquista". I'm thinking we need to think a few steps ahead ... we need to play chess. Barry Benghazi is playing tiddly-winks.
I'm not sure why these things suddenly come to mind.
Any wounded or captured should be dragged out of the hospital hauled to Kiev and face some serious interogation and used for the UN presentation on the 17th.
If they're black separatists, like the black panthers, yes. It's totally reasonable. Obey the laws of your nation. Otherwise go home to the one you claim.
Bloomberg is reporting this claim by a Ukrainian government official.
Let's hope the Ukrainians kill all the Russian rebels.
...or maybe Texas wants independence from Mexico and later to join US?
I saw some other pics of "pro-russians". They looked like train station drunks. No joke. One had that crusty puffy face you see on alcoholics over there.
A government firing on it's own civilians? Nah that could never happen here.
Like they did to rebels in 1776?
I think a lot of the pro-Putin people on FReeRepublic are probably drunks too.
Nah, they just like his stand on gays.
All 1/3 of Ukraine population? :)

Money, sexual harassment, suicide, and shocking resignations: here's what changed fashion this year. [NSFW] Advertisement Alexander McQueen Died On the 11th of February, the fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen was found dead in his London home. An inquest would determine that before hanging himself in his wardrobe, the 40-year-old designer ingested a lethal quantity of cocaine, tranquilizers and sleeping pills, slit his wrists, attempted to hang himself from a shower rail in his bathroom, and wrote a suicide note on the back of a hardcover book, which read: Look after my dogs. Sorry, I love you, Lee. P.S. Bury me at the church.Although McQueen had bolted and chain-locked his door, his housekeeper managed to get in through a side door, and she found his body. McQueen's remains were cremated. Advertisement The designer died on the eve of his mother's funeral, after what friends acknowledged had been a long struggle with depression and substance abuse. (His psychiatrist testified at the coroner's inquest that McQueen had made at least two previous suicide attempts.) Attendees at New York fashion week, the overglamourized trade fair that kicks off the designer fashion season, learned of the news during the morning of the first day of shows. (I woke up to hear of McQueen's death hungover and still halfway drunk from a Gen Art party the night before where, I recall, I'd lightly discussed "the whole woman-as-object discourse" of the models tableaux with a dude who went to Oberlin.) You expect fashion week to be mediocre-bad, like spending a week at the DMV bad, all long lines and uncertain outcomes; for an actual incidence of human tragedy to rupture the proceedings was strangely shocking. McQueen's sure sense of craft — honed at Central St. Martins, and at Gieves & Hawkes on Savile Row — was brought to bear on designs that evidenced considerations far beyond fashion's usual bailiwick, like politics, the impact of technology on culture, and the bloodier episodes of Scottish history. For this, McQueen inspired a kind of devotion that was unusual for its rabidity and its broad base: he was a designer it was okay to like, even if one was a "serious" person who ordinarily didn't care about that fashion stuff, and he was simultaneously the contemporary designer who made possible fashion's highest expression. To outsiders, Alexander McQueen was fashion's redemption. To insider's, he was its apotheosis.The potential influence of the "industry" on McQueen's frame of mind was immediately put under the microscope. Stefano Tonchi, then the editor of the New York Times' T magazine, called the designer, "just one of the little cogs that got squeezed." Philip Treacy, the hatmaker who was McQueen's friend for 20 years, said, "Creativity is a very fragile thing, and Lee was very fragile." There was fervent discussion over whether McQueen was a "misogynist." Meanwhile, McQueen's second-in-command, Sarah Burton, oversaw the presentation of McQueen's last, unfinished, collection at Paris fashion week. It was very well received. After rumors that everyone from Gareth Pugh to Christian Siriano might take over, Gucci Group eventually hired Burton as the brand's new creative director. Before he died, McQueen gave what turned out to be one of his last interviews to LOVE magazine. He said, in part, "When I'm dead, hopefully this house will still be going. On a spaceship. Hopping up and down above the earth." Terry Richardson Was Accused Of Sexual Harassment It all started in March, when the Danish model Rie Rasmussen confronted the fashion and art photographer Terry Richardson at a party in Paris. Rasmussen, who once worked with Richardson on a Gucci campaign, went up to him and told him he abuses his position of power within the industry to sexually harass young women with impunity. "They are too afraid to say no because their agency booked them on the job and are too young to stand up for themselves," said Rasmussen later to the New York Post. "I told him, 'What you do is completely degrading to women. I hope you know you only fuck girls because you have a camera, lots of fashion contacts and get your pictures in Vogue.'" Advertisement Sponsored Rather than defend himself, Richardson allegedly fled the scene, and instead called Rasmussen's agency to complain about her.Days later, a model named Jamie Peck published an essay detailing her two shoots with Richardson; Peck said Richardson at one point asked to have Peck's used tampon, with which to make "tampon tea." Peck's recounting of her time with Richardson includes the line, "I'm not sure how he maneuvered me over to the couch, but at some point he strongly suggested I touch his terrifying penis." Richardson once said of breaking into modeling, "It's not who you know, it's who you blow. I don't have a hole in my jeans for nothing." More models and fashion industry insiders came forward to us with many other stories of Richardson's sexual misconduct. After nearly a week of newspaper and blog coverage, Richardson issued a non-specific denial of any wrongdoing. Though Richardson's behavior at work had long been a topic of discussion and concern within the industry, and, in particular, among models, this was the first time that people outside the industry were learning of his alleged abuses of power, and it was the first time that several women came forward publicly with specific allegations of misconduct. Although there were reports that Richardson was personally badly shaken by the scandal, his career has not really suffered in the months since: he has maintained his relationships with his high-paying commercial clients, like H&M and Aldo, and if anything, he has worked for his editorial clients, like Vogue Paris, American Vogue, and American Harper's Bazaar, more often than even before. But being Terry Richardson these days must mean living in the knowledge that there's always another shoe that might drop. Advertisement Advertisement New York Fashion Week Moved To Lincoln Center New York fashion week, that aforementioned overglamourized trade show, moved from its longtime home at Bryant Park to Lincoln Center. Swapping the New York Public Library's back yard for the lot adjacent to the ballet and the opera struck a lot of fashion observers as a significant move up; endless column inches were filled with meditations on fashion's integration into the high culture (or, the punditry bonus angle, ruminations on the significance of the fact that the shows were taking place in Damrosch Park, the part of Lincoln Center usually occupied by the circus). What changed practically was that venues and backstage areas got bigger, and most shows moved to a centralized e-ticketing system that shortened lines but made it drastically harder to sneak in, which was always kind of the most fun part of fashion week. In other news, there was a protest, and a barely averted union dispute. The best part of the whole proceedings was definitely Sadie's doll insurgency. Models At London Fashion Week Unionized The next week, across the Atlantic, London fashion week got underway as the first fashion week to ever proceed under a collective bargaining agreement between models and designers. The U.K. model union, founded in 2007 as a shop of the actors' union Equity by two models named Victoria Keon-Cohen and Dunja Knezevic, reached an agreement with the British Fashion Council governing working hours, break times, minimum rates for fashion shows (most shows pay "in trade," that is, in clothes) and the like. (If those provisions sound very basic, they are: The modeling industry at present lacks almost any regulation whatsoever.) As independent contractors who are also often minors, models have traditionally been vulnerable to exploitation. Agencies supposedly exist to further models' interests, but the terms of most agency contracts leave the model responsible for virtually all costs and risks, and with little recourse for dealing with issues like, say, sexual harassment or financial exploitation.Things like the Terry Richardson scandal, as well as the release of model-turned-filmmaker Sara Ziff's documentary Picture Me, are slowly making the public aware of the issues many young models face, like being made to choose between finishing high school and having a career, being encouraged to develop unhealthy eating habits, and agency debt. Ziff recently announced that she intends to found a professional organization for models in the U.S., and Fordham University now has a legal clinic available for models who need legal advice. It's never easy to foment these kinds of changes, and there are certainly powerful, entrenched interests who have long grown used to having a labor force that is young, relatively economically powerless, and interchangeable. But hard-won developments like these certainly renew my long-held hope that this industry will become a safer place for some of its youngest and potentially most vulnerable workers. Michelle Obama Wore Clothes The American First Lady continued to be a fashion story unto herself. Whether wearing Talbot's, Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen, or vintage, people wrote books about her style, blogged it, discussed it on cable TV, and criticized it. The Harvard Business Review studied her public appearances, and found: Advertisement Advertisement Michelle Obama created $2.7 billion in cumulative abnormal returns — value over and above normal market variations — for fashion and retail companies associated with the clothes she wore.Unknown is how HBR managed to explain the fact that Maria Pinto, a designer Obama wore frequently, went out of business in 2010. Every Victoria's Secret Angel Known To Man Is Having Or Has Recently Had A Baby The Victoria's Secret baby boom of 2009 — Karolina Kurkova, Gisele Bündchen, Adriana Lima, and Heidi Klum all gave birth late last year — continued unabated this year, with both Doutzen Kroes and Miranda Kerr confirming pregnancies. And young mother Arizona Muse walked the most recent Prada exclusive. Advertisement Carine Roitfeld Resigned From Vogue Paris Just as it seemed fashion in 2010 was going to go out with a whimper, Carine Roitfeld announced suddenly that she was leaving Vogue Paris, the publication she has edited for a decade. Roitfeld said only that she was tired, and wanted a change; after the March issue ships, she'll be gone. Although rumors inevitably sprung up that she had been fired, no replacement is in immediate evidence. During her time at the top, Roitfeld made possible some of Vogue Paris' most beautiful editorials, and also some of its all-out worst. Whatever the circumstances of her departure, and whatever she turns to in future, her mark on fashion is made. Reply14 repliesLeave a reply

You have the perfect lamp and you've carefully chosen a shade for it, but what kind of light bulb should you choose? You may not think much about light bulbs, but the kind you choose has the greatest impact on the overall effect and effectiveness of your lamp. Many people make the mistake of buying a light bulb more powerful than they need for a particular lamp. This unfortunately can make a lamp so intense or distracting that it is rarely used. The simple solution to this problem is to use a smaller bulb. Most table and accent lamps require no more than a 60-watt bulb, even if they are rated for something much higher. While it's very important to never exceed the recommended bulb wattage for a lamp, there is nothing wrong with using a less-powerful bulb.
Aside from wattage, there are other factors to consider when choosing a light bulb. Light bulbs come in four basic types: incandescent, fluorescent, compact fluorescent and halogen.

Not up to par
"I wanted to love these, but they were not the quality I'd hoped for. The left one fit okay, though it wasn't as comfortable as I hoped. The right one crushed my toes and rubbed my ankles. I wore then around my living room for a few minutes and couldn't wait to take them off. So I'm returning them."

By PHIL FAUVER, Guest Writer
The meeting was opened by Joyce Staley. The first order of business was to elect officers. Joyce Staley was elected president. Dottie Grimes vice chair, Evelyn Huntsman secretary, and Dixie Swasey treasurer,
First a report from Grimes of the Emery County Archives who gave a history of the Wilberg Resort that once was located North of Castle Dale. This resort was operated by the Wilberg family. It was started before the 1929 Depression and continued into the 30s during the depression and drought.
The Wilberg Resort gave the people of Emery County a place to celebrate, dance on Saturday nights, with a place for swimming, boating, and picnicking. The charge was $1 per person to dance on a cement dance floor covered with spangles. The dance floor was about the size of one half a football field. Warren Wilberg was in charge of the concession stand. The Wilbergs also had a zoo with a bear, mountain lion, fox etc.
People would come to the resort from as far away as Price or Emery in those days. This was a very popular place.
Staley then introduced the entertainment for the evening, presented by Tanner Crawford who played a cello accompanied by his mother Barbara Crawford on the piano. The Crawfords live in Ferron.
Tanner also demonstrated how he could electronically alter the sounds of his musical instrument.
Staley introduced the guest speaker Wade Allinson and his presentation of Secrets Of The Desert. Wade is the son-in-law of Lee Jeffs. He lives in Ferron with his wife and three children.
Wade first became interested in the history of the desert in Utah after being introduced to it by Lee Jeffs about six years ago. Since then he has explored many of the cliffs, canyons and old trails through the Utah desert.
Wade started off with a discourse about the Utah Expedition that started from Fort Levenworth, Kan. for Utah (called Johnson's Army by the Mormons).
The army traveled west to Camp Scott where they stopped for the winter. This army was harassed by the Mormon Militia crossing the plains. The army was at a disadvantage because they did not have a cavalry or dragoons to chase the Mormon Militia.
Captain Martin decided to take a company of soldiers to New Mexico from Camp Scott to obtain food for the starving soldiers. Upon their return the Army moved to Fort Bridger and from time to time attempted to chase the Mormon Militia by riding the freight wagon mules.
Eventually a treaty of peace was made with Brigham Young and Johnson's army was allowed to come into the Salt Lake Valley.
Johnson's Army came into the Salt Lake Valley with very unkind feelings toward the Mormons because of the suffering of the soldiers crossing the plains.
The army marched down Salt Lake City's main street to 2100 South where they camped a few days and then out to Copperton for a short time. Then to Syracuse Springs finally the army moved to Camp Floyd West of Lehi.
The Spanish Trail had become a wagon road through the San Rafael.
Wade recommended the book "Forty Years Among the Indians" by Daniel Jones.
Jones was a guide for Colonel Stephen Moore when he was ordered take part of the Army to New Mexico for the purpose of fighting Indians.
This expedition to New Mexico consisted of 1,000 men traveling down through Salina Canyon, through Hanksville and across the Colorado river.
The trail led through Trachyte Canyon and eliminated the need to cross two rivers, the Green River and the Colorado River.
Wade found the names of two men on sand stone cliffs that had been on this expedition. They were Martin Mullins, master sergeant and Frank Mullins, first sergeant.
Wade also found the name of Joseph Swasey in Trachyte Canyon. He found the names and dates of Frank Hatt June 4, 1909, and J. T. Farrer at Jump, Colo. on the river near Moab.
There also was the name of Arthur Barney 1880 Nov. and Nov. 24, 1878. Barney was a freighter and put his name on the sand stone rock with axle grease. With age, the axle grease causes the rock to become white.
Wade displayed photos of the names of the early pioneers found on rocks in the Utah desert. He also displayed photos of some of the people whose names appeared on the rocks.

Well I was wondering what you guys think will happen in this arc as a whole.
Instead of just predictions for the next chapter, how bout a prediction for the whole saga?
Also for those interested i started a fanfic/RPing thing in the fanworks forum of this board. for those interested in putting in their 2 cents of how they imagine things will turn out in Naruto.
Personally I dont think Sasuke will return to the Leaf ever again. And I dont think he will be able to kill Itachi either. It would totally destroy his character if he manages to kill Itachi at this point (and for those that dont know the creator did mention that Sasuke was his favorite character) so either Itachi will escape from a fight against Sasuke AND Naruto or Sasuke will find a greater goal.
Naruto will also be caught and "killed" by Akatsuki or he'll have his kyuubi pulled out of him by some means. Same as with Gaara. Akatsuki has a certain purpose for their capturing the jinchuriikens or whatever the heck it's called. So I think eventually they'll be able to complete it and "worst will come to worst" and so Hebi and Konoha will have to temporarily ally together.
also Sakura will have quite a fit over Sasuke's new "girlfriend" and forget all about Naruto again. Naruto will find solace in Hinata.

"I love these crocs. They are so comfortable. When I went to a golf event a couple years ago, a friend had these on while I wore sneakers because I thought I would need them for all the walking we would do. She told me how comfortable these are and bought them myself. She was right! I wore them the following year at the same event and had no issues whatsoever with all the walking I did. They are that comfortable! Ordering another pair since my first pair is worn down from all the use! I have them in both colors. You won't be disappointed. They provide good support. Reasonably priced too!"

Most comfortable sandal in the world
"My mom has a foot spur and she swears by these sandals. I decided to try them out myself, and spent the whole day walking in them. These are THE BEST sandals to get if you are on your feet all day. I didn't feel any discomfort until later in the evening, but that's understandable because I was on my feel all day.They do run a little big as they don't have a "half" sizes. I'm a 8.5 and I had to get the 9 because the 8 would've been too small for me."

Bobby and Pamela Vazquez decided to ride out Superstorm Sandy in their Union Beach home. Their house was leveled, and they barely survived. Nine months later, they've found a way to move on.
UNION BEACH, N.J. — The saltwater kept rolling in off Raritan Bay in 20-foot waves, crashing on the street where Bobby and Pamela Vazquez lived, turning it into a churning rapid.
The wind howled with 80-mph gusts, gas lines burst and hissed, electric lines crackled and people trapped in their homes yelled for help.
As water gushed into their house, Bobby and Pamela ran to the apartment over the garage — the highest point they could reach — to ride out the storm. They watched the wind tear the French doors free as water surged through the opening. The walls and roof twisted and crumbled.
Superstorm Sandy had arrived, wiping out sections of their town and communities up and down the 130-mile coastline of the Jersey Shore.
Cars, parts of houses — including theirs — and debris slammed into the garage, shaking the apartment with deafening booms.
Then the apartment shimmied and rocked and Pamela, 49, fell as the floor buckled. Bobby looked down from the deck and saw the walls of the garage were gone.
"We gotta jump," Bobby, 51, told his wife. And with that, they plunged into the roiling water.
Nine months have passed since that evening when Bobby and Pamela Vazquez survived the harrowing experience. Nine months of trying to loosen the vise that the storm has had on every aspect of their lives — their physical, emotional and mental state, their finances and, ultimately, their future. Nine months of battling depression, uncertainty, loss and guilt.
Their anguish is familiar to anyone who has lived through a natural disaster. For these families, whether they've lost homes or livelihood to tornadoes in Oklahoma or explosions in West, Texas, the return to "normal" is a daily struggle that takes months, often years.
As summer welcomes people back to the Jersey Shore, rebuilding has been slow but steady.
Yet the Vazquezes, like thousands of others who lost homes, remain in limbo.
The storm caused $7.8 billion in insured commercial and residential losses in New Jersey. About 82,000 homes sustained damage, according to the state's Department of Community Affairs. Of those, 56,000 suffered major or severe damage, and of those, a little more than 40,000 were owner-occupied primary residences.
The Vazquezes have been trying to rebuild their lives with no possessions, limited savings and no permanent place to live. Homeowners insurance did not cover flooding. They were paid nothing.
So they've muddled through the past nine months, finding solace at church, through volunteering and by holding their tight-knit family even tighter. Only now has the storm that brought them face-to-face with their own mortality slowly loosened its grip.
BEFORE AND AFTER: Union Beach
INTERACTIVE: How Vazquez family survived Sandy
FULL COVERAGE: 'A tale of two families'
Pamela and Bobby Vazquez decided to ride out Sandy in their five-bedroom, two-story house across the street from the beach despite a mandatory evacuation. The working-class community of 6,300 people sits across from Staten Island, N.Y.
"We'd had other storms and water came up to the driveway, maybe a little in the garage, and that's it," Bobby says. They thought this storm would be no different.
Pamela was watching NCIS on TV. Bobby was puttering in the garage. He had put duct tape on the bottom of the garage door to keep the water out, but a stream was seeping in.
"We weren't panicking," Bobby says. "We just put everything higher."
They ran to the apartment over the garage with their 80-pound Pyrenees dog Molly. They thought they'd be safe. They might even catch a nap.
As dusk approached, the wind picked up, the bay pushed farther into the street and debris began to pummel the garage. Couches, refrigerators and cars floated by. The deck where they stood detached, and they found themselves floating on a fast-moving current, heading straight toward a tree.
When they made that desperate dive into the churning water, Pamela had been holding Molly by the leash, but the dog kept pulling her underwater. She had to let the dog go. "She went one way, we went the other," Pamela says.
The couple swam, climbed and crawled over wood, trees, furniture, plaster and myriad other debris.
"I kept going under. Saltwater kept going in my mouth," Pamela says. Bobby kept pulling her up. They were trying to get to a house that was still standing.
They clambered up the deck to the house, where the owners were also waiting out the storm.
Within an hour, they heard barking. Molly was floating on a piece of wood that was lodged between the driveway of the house they were in and the house next door.
The three had survived. The house didn't.
It was a tragic end to a place that had an emotional hold for the couple and their six children. The Vazquezes are a modern-day Brady Bunch. Theirs is a second marriage for both. She had been a divorcee with four children: Cris, 28; Annie, 26; Matthew, 23; and Nicky, 20; he, a widower with two, Brock, 28, and Tina, 25.
They bought the house in 2003 for its space and location at the edge of the bay. They'd walk on the beach when the tide was low, throw parties and barbecues and play volleyball on the sand court they installed. It became the nucleus, the place where the squabbles that came from being a blended family gave way to uniting as one. As the children grew older and had children of their own, it was the place where the grandchildren had their own rooms and spent weekends.
For Bobby and Pamela, the house was also their retirement plan.
Almost immediately after the storm, Bobby began playing that night over and over in his mind. He struggled with feeling guilty that he put his wife of 11 years in harm's way.
"We made the decision together … but I should have done a better job of taking care of my wife," he says.
A deep depression took hold. The first week after the storm, they stayed with daughter Annie's boyfriend and his family. Then they moved in with Pamela's parents for two months.
All Bobby wanted to do was visit the property, which was just a pile of broken planks and sodden debris until December. When that was hauled away, he'd visit the dirt patch that was left. They knew where he'd been when they saw the dirt on his shoes.
At home, he spent much of the time sleeping. The fun-loving dad who teased and told randy jokes was moody and irritable.
A car salesman, he hardly sold any cars — one month, only five. He'd laugh one minute and cry the next.
Ward family's odyssey
"You never know which Bobby you'll get," Pamela said two months after the storm. They never talked about what they were going through. She had a hard time dealing with his moods, but she says she had to let him work through it.
Pamela was struggling, too. She'd been laid off three years before the storm from her job as a steel detailer, someone who made detailed drawings to show construction crews exactly how to erect the steel parts of a building. She battled sleeplessness and migraines that had been under control but were unleashed after the storm.
Then there was the matter of trying to rebuild their house. They were insured for wind damage, not water. The insurance company told them flooding caused the damage and denied their claim.
They had to battle the Federal Emergency Management Agency, too. Pamela's father bought the house, and it was in his name. The couple paid him a monthly mortgage amount, made repairs and paid the taxes. Because the house was in his name, though, FEMA regarded it as his secondary home and denied them financial assistance.
After three months of wrangling to show they owned the house, FEMA gave them $32,000.
In December, FEMA provided them with a temporary three-bedroom apartment in Fort Monmouth, a closed Army post 30 minutes from Union Beach. They can stay until September.
"It's just good to have our own place," Bobby said then.
It was a start.
Walk into the apartment on the third floor of the former barracks, and you get a glimpse of how homey the house at 804 Brook Ave. had been.
The first thing you see is a tapestry made from a photo of all six children — one of the few items saved from the wreckage — hanging on the wall.
Pictures of the children and three grandchildren and colorful children's drawings blanket the refrigerator door. A collage of family photos takes up half the living room wall. The apartment is alive with toys.
In a nod to Sandy, a book of photos from the storm sits on the TV stand.
About three months after the storm, Bobby began weekly chats with Carl Williamson, a minister from nearby Homedale who befriended the couple after he went to Union Beach to volunteer with the cleanup and rebuilding.
"He was getting scared and needed to talk about it," says Williamson, 32. Over the course of five visits, they talked about faith and spirituality, Bobby's guilt over that night and the future.
They started a weekly Bible study in the apartment in April. At the beginning of June, Bobby went to church for the first time as a parishioner — not merely to attend a wedding or funeral, as had been the case.
"It's brought me peace," Bobby says.
He also started taking anti-anxiety medication.
The change is visible. He sold 15 cars last month.
"This whole storm changed me a lot," he says. "I'm softer than I used to be."
Pamela, too, is finding meaning in their experience. Shortly after Sandy, the couple began volunteering to help fellow residents. Bobby delivered appliances, and Pamela worked at a food pantry.
Since moving to the Army post, Pamela has led food drives for the 35 or so families living there. In June, she went to West, Texas, with Williamson and other volunteers to help families displaced by a fertilizer plant explosion that killed 15 and injured hundreds.
She's become the person that post residents go to with questions, complaints or concerns. She tells the story of a man who came to the apartment late one night because he needed help dealing with his FEMA caseworker.
"He said I'd been hard to get a hold of, like if I had office hours," she says, laughing. "When did I become the mayor of Fort Monmouth?"
Other good things have come from the storm, they say. The couple have become closer as they've navigated each other's heartaches and frustrations.
"Bobby has always been my strength," Pamela says. "Even the night of the storm, when I didn't know if I could go on, he said, 'Yes, you will.' "
Bobby says Pamela was patient and didn't let him feel sorry for himself. "I know it was not easy for her seeing me go through this, but she took it like a man," he says, grinning with a flash of his old lighthearted self.
They still don't know if they will go home again. They can't afford to rebuild. They've applied for grants from the state and federal government, the Foundation to Save the Jersey Shore, which is a group helping people rebuild, and Habitat for Humanity.
For now, they have settled on a new routine: Every week, they go to a park a block from their house with their 3-year-old granddaughter, Addison. They eat lunch at Jakeabob's Bay, a waterfront restaurant that was destroyed after the storm and reopened farther inland. They visit with friends and neighbors.
"It's the little taste of home we get now," Bobby says.
For the first time in nine months, they can start to plan what's next. They can even begin to imagine what the new house might look like if they get the grants they need.
"For the first time, I'm done with the storm," Bobby says. He looks at Pamela, who nods. "The storm is over, and I'm ready to move on."
As if to prove it, the couple was baptized last month in the bay across the street from their house, a new start in the very waters where they almost met their end.
