"I seriously debated spending this much for a shoe I wasn't really sure was me or that I'd like but am glad I did. These will be a great option to boots in winter or fall. They're casual, trendy and chic all rolled into one. They do run a little large in length which may work out just fine when it's time for bulky socks, which I haven't tried them with yet. Overall, if you love the look of the shoe and Burberry's quality, you will be happy you bought these."

text: Issue 03 Preview – when things do go wrong Recoil Staff 0 COMMENT Affordable Bug-Out Repair Gear You're prepared. You've got your bug-out bag fully stocked, your defensive tools are at the ready, and more importantly, you have a plan for when Shit Hits The Fan. But no matter how prepared you are or how good your plan is, there's always one law of human nature you have to be aware of: Murphy's. That "anything that can go wrong will go wrong" is of particular consequence when survival skills are a must. Some very important pieces of gear many forget to include in their bug-out bag is a kit to actually f x the bag itself. Can you imagine bugging out and a clasp breaks on your bag, or a strap fails? Capt. Murphy doesn't care if your bag is the same one that Tier 1 Operators use, or just a JanSport you bought at the local mall—he knows the law applies to all of us just the same. Not to worry. Here are some very affordable options to make sure you have the necessary gear to repair your bug-out bag if something should happen. Having them will raise your level of preparedness to the next level and get you one up on Murphy's calamitous Law itself. For the rest of this article, subscribe digitally here: RECOIL Issue 3

Buying a bottle of specialty juice at the store is a special treat because ones that use organic ingredients may not always be easy to find. Instead of buying the pre-made varieties at the market, use your own organic produce to make your own juices at home using juicers and juicing appliances from Williams-Sonoma. Mix a bunch of fresh berries, bananas and oranges together, and pour the mixture into a casual glass for your kids' breakfast. Juice together your favorite green produce and some protein powder to create the perfect post-workout drink to feed your sore muscles after an intense gym session. When you have your own juicer, you have juice on demand.
For the ultimate health drink, consider a slow masticating or cold press juicer. These juicers make sure to extract every last vitamin and nutrient out of your produce so you can pour a super drink into your favorite tumbler or glass for a refreshing way to start the day. The Philips Micro Juicer Elite extracts up to 90 percent of produce into the juice, so nothing is wasted. The LED button tells you when it is ready to juice, while the front spout pours the finished product directly into your glass. If you like a fresh glass of orange juice in the morning, gather your citrus and use the OrangeX Juicer. Simply cut your oranges in half, and then press down on the stainless-steel handle to pour orange juice directly into a glass.
If you do not want to leave any of the nutrients from your food behind during the juicing process, consider a whole food juicer. A blender from Vitamix is a top-of-the-line kitchen appliance that lets you load up the container with your favorite fruits, vegetables, nuts and other products, and then choose a pulse speed. Vitamix blenders produce everything from smooth and creamy purees to smoothies with chunks of fruit still intact, and most of the blenders feature one-touch controls that allow you to control the consistency. The blenders self-clean in about 60 seconds, allowing you to enjoy your juice instead of worrying about cleanup.
For those who need to make a lot of juice in a short amount of time, high-speed and centrifugal juicers are essential kitchen tools. The Breville Juice Fountain Elite Juicer lets you load all of your ingredients into the large feed tube without precutting them. The mesh basket inside the juicer filters out pulp, giving you an extremely drinkable final product. For a quick glass of orange juice or lemonade, a citrus press lets you easily place a piece of fruit in, close the lid, and then enjoy your freshly squeezed drink in no time. If you prefer your juice made the old-fashioned way, the Paderno Manual Juicer runs on hand power. It is a perfect appliance for extracting juice from leafy greens, and it does not take up as much counter space as other, more complex juicers.
After you finish juicing, you are left with a lot of pulp from the fruits you use. Instead of throwing them away with the rest of your refuse, compost them in the backyard using Breville Clean and Green Compostable Juicer Bags. These bags are made of 100-percent corn starch that decompose just as fast as leaves and the food products they contain. If you find that your favorite smoothies contain a little too much pulp, make sure you also get essential juicer attachments, such as the Kuvings Smoothie Strainer. This device attaches directly to the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer to create everything from smoothies to baby food to your favorite nut butters.

An old drug with a new street name is popular again on Staten Island.
Molly – a party drug linked to the recent deaths of a 20-year-old Staten Island man and four other young people in the North East – has seen an increase in use among 18 to 34-year-old borough residents, according to anecdotal data.
The drug raises serotonin levels in the brain causing feelings of euphoria, empathy and closeness with others. But, it also can cause unwanted side effects such as dehydration, fever, jaw clenching, hyperthermia and seizures.
Marketed as pure MDMA, the drug is often cut with other ingredients that can lead to deadly consequences.
A crack down here on prescription pills may be fueling the uptick in Molly use by Staten Islanders, says Dr. Cummings.

Leo Cullen leads a team which contains a blend of youth and experience for Leinster's visit to play Cardiff Blues at the Arms Park.
Leo Cullen leads a team which shows a blend of youth and experience for Leinster's visit to play Cardiff Blues.
Ian Madigan, who is the PRO12's third top points scorer (91 points) partners Ireland international Isaac Boss – on his 65th Leinster appearance – at half-back with Andrew Goodman lining up at centre alongside Brendan Macken.
Out wide Andrew Conway is joined by Darren Hudson (who makes his eighth senior appearance) and Dave Kearney who is full-back.
Dominic Ryan makes just his third appearance after an injury interrupted season thus far and he completes an exciting back-row alongside Shane Jennings and Jordi Murphy.
Leinster 'A' team skipper Jack McGrath is rewarded with a start in the front row after some compelling form in the British & Irish Cup.
Heinke van der Merwe is named on a bench which includes seven players who are either in, or have come through, the Academy.
Meanwhile, Cardiff are also missing internationals and are being led by centre Gavin Evans.
The Blues face a Leinster side that has won four straight games in all competitions since losing 19-27 to table topping Ulster at Ravenhill in December.
The Leinstermen's only defeat to a Welsh region in their last five encounters in all competitions was 10-19 at Ospreys in November and they have lost just one of their last twelve clashes with the Blues in all tournaments since 2007.
"I think at the end of the day the aim we have, as a region over the next four to five years, is to build a strong squad," said director of rugby Phil Davies.
"I have no doubt that we will be stronger going into the end of this season than we were last year. Next season we will be stronger again.
"Leinster are ahead of us in this process but we are heading in the right direction.
"For me, tomorrow's game has a bit of pride attached to what we have to deliver.
"Over in Dublin it was not a good performance.
"The second half was creditable but the first half we got hammered. I didn't enjoy that. I didn't enjoy the game or what happened afterwards.
"We have to lay a strong marker down on Friday. We have to put in a massive performance against one of the top squads in Europe.
"It is a great challenge for the team. We want to try and win the game and the next few games so we can keep pushing towards the top four."
Form: Cardiff Blues have won their last two RaboDirect PRO12 contests against Dragons and Munster, and have won their last three fixtures at the Arms Park in all competitions. The Blues have lost both previous matches against Irish provinces at the Arms Park this season. Leinster have won four straight games in all competitions since losing 19-27 to table topping Ulster at Ravenhill on 21 December. The Leinstermen's only defeat to a Welsh region in their last five encounters in all competitions was 10-19 at Ospreys in the RaboDirect PRO12 on 4 November. Leinster have lost just one of their last twelve clashes with the Blues in all tournaments since 2007: 3-11 at Cardiff City Stadium in the PRO12 on 19 February 2011.
The teams:
Cardiff Blues: 15 Jason Tovey, 14 Owen Williams, 13 Gavin Evans (capt), 12 Dafydd Hewitt, 11 Harry Robinson, 10 Rhys Patchell, 9 Lewis Jones, 8 Robin Copeland, 7 Rory Watts-Jones, 6 Michael Paterson, 5 James Down, 4 Macauley Cook, 3 Taufa'ao Filise, 2 Rhys Williams, 1 Sam Hobbs.
Replacements: 16 Marc Breeze, 17 Nathan Trevett, 18 Scott Andrews, 19 Luke Hamilton, 20 Josh Navidi, 21 Alex Walker, 22 Ceri Sweeney, 23 Richard Smith.
Leinster: 15 Dave Kearney, 14 Andrew Conway, 13 Brendan Macken, 12 Andrew Goodman, 11 Darren Hudson, 10 Ian Madigan, 9 Isaac Boss, 8 Jordi Murphy, 7 Shane Jennings, 6 Dominic Ryan, 5 Tom Denton, 4 Leo Cullen, 3 Michael Bent, 2 Aaron Dundon, 1 Jack McGrath.
Replacements: 16 Thomas Sexton, 17 Heinke Van Der Merwe, 18 Jamie Hagan, 19 Ben Marshall, 20 Rhys Ruddock, 21 John Cooney, 22 Noel Reid, 23 Fionn Carr.

AFFIX Youth Booster Seat with Latch System
Highback TurboBooster Car Seat with Safety Surround
AFFIX Backless Booster Seat with Latch System
The AFFIX™ Highback Booster with Latch System helps safely transport your "big kid" from 30 to 100 lbs. and up to 57 inches tall. It provides a secure connection to your vehicle seat with its one-hand front-adjust Latch system, making self-buckling easier for your independent child. While the purpose of the Latch in the AFFIX Youth Booster is to secure the booster to the vehicle seat while the booster is unoccupied and help facilitate independent buckling, you will secure your child in the booster seat with the vehicle lap/shoulder belt. The seat has an integrated cup holder and hide-away storage compartment to keep child's drinks and favorite things within arm's reach.
*Since the Latch system only secures the booster seat to the vehicle in this application and is not used for installation, it may be used regardless of the weight of the child (up to the maximum weight recommendation of the seat).
For children 3 to 10 years old
STOP using this car seat and throw it away 10 years after the date of manufacture. Look for date of manufacture label on back of the car seat.
The American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP) and National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that children should use the built-in harness system for as long as possible until they reach the maximum forward-facing weight or height for their car seat, and after reaching the maximum forward-facing weight and height, that children 4 feet 9 inches tall or under should ride in a belt-positioning booster seat.*Always remember to check your local or state laws regarding car seat usage.

Gorgeous shoes!
"These shoes are amazing and very comfortable! I was nervous that the elastic band would be tight on my foot but it's not at all. Shoes obviously go perfect with a dress but also really cute with jeans! I definitely recommend them, you wont be disappointed!"

Flashy with an Easy-to-Wear Heel
"The heel structure, width and height make this shoe easy to wear and walk in. I LOVE the flash and sass of the design. And being that most designer shoes are too narrow for me, these are just right. They're not exactly comfy, but they're not uncomfortable either. I know I'm going to be wearing these a lot because the style is just so eye-catching."

Aesthetically gorgeous
"I got a size bigger than I usually get in shoes so fit wise I cannot give a justified review since I have to put foot petals and ask my shoe cobbler to cut a bit of the strap in order for me to be able to use this shoes but aesthetically, the shoes is gorgeous and my friend love it. Comfortable to wear and light to the feet."

"What a STEAL! Got these when the Luxe had a special offer and they are absolutely amazing. Perfect heel height and very comfy. There isn't a buckle to adjust around the ankle so I can see how that can be a worry for some but they didn't feel too loose or tight/restraining."

Since the beginning of his career, Prince has been about control, from his insistence on playing almost all the instruments on the majority of his recordings to his recent battle for autonomy from Warner Brothers Records to his idiosyncratic rules about what names he is to be called, how business is to be conducted with him and how interviews are to be carried out.January 13, 1997 artsReview
Now a Prince Among Men
In 1984, Prince may have thought he could do no wrong.

Less than a decade later, after numerous hits and misses, Prince has become an outsider. He has been blind-sided by hip-hop; the rise of rap suddenly made him feel old-fashioned and on "Diamonds and Pearls" he scrambles to catch up.October 6, 1991 artsReview

Posted on 12/05/2012 4:55:07 PM PST by Uncle Chip
Blundering builders mistakenly bulldozed an 18th-century chateau in the heart of France's picturesque wine country - when they were only supposed to knock down an outhouse on its estate.
Chateau de Bellevue, 12km to the east of Bordeaux, once boasted 140,000-square-feet of grand reception rooms, ornate fireplaces, winding marble staircases and imposing granite balconies.
Then its new owner, a Russian millionaire businessman, employed a team of Polish builders to renovate the manor to its former baroque glory, including the removal of one small building.
But the workers apparently misunderstood the instructions and pulled down the castle instead, leaving the outhouse completely untouched.
'The Chateau de Bellevue was Yvrac's pride and joy,' said former owner Juliette Marmie. 'The whole village is in shock. How can this construction firm make such a mistake?'
Local media reported that the construction company misunderstood the renovation plans of the current owner, Russian businessman Dmitry Stroskin, to clean up and renovate the manor.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Someone has some explaining to do.
employed a team of Polish builders
"Polish workers," eh. Maybe there's something to those jokes. ;)
You know. Poland. Russia.
Just a guess.
Moeskie, Curlyskie and Joeskie
But they did bulldoze the mansion and saved the outhouse.
Consolation - "we renovate outhouse for freeee"
Saved the outhouse,and promptly sub-leased it's basement to the Poles.
Russian oligarch? Those builders' lives aren't worth a plugged nickel now.
Mistake? Incredibly valuable salvage there, you know it didn't go to a landfill, don't you?
The Russian was walking past the outhouse and saw one of his Polish contractors throwing a 100 Eureo bill down the hole.
"What in the world are you doing?" he asked.
"I dropped a .5 Euro coin down there and I sure as heck am not going down there for half a Euro."
Having this Polish joke occur was probably the only way he could arrange the demolition. The newly wealthy Poles are probably lounging on the Mediterrean by now. And the Russian can rebuild the house the way he wants.
It's better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission - the French authorities would probably have objected to full modernization of the lighting, plumbing, etc.
Polish jokes, Irish jokes, they're all good.
But I've never found Swede jokes very funny.
I'm in complete agreement...it was arranged and scripted to be a 'mistake', but the place was likely in terrible condition and could not be made livable. I've been to the nicer places that have been kept up in Germany, Netherlands and Italy...with tons of money put into a decade-long restoration. If you got lots of government money....you can wait a decade for full restoration. In this case? Erase your issue and start fresh.
I'm thinking of the Tom Hanks movie "The Money Pit".
I know. Could you even find anyone in France who knows how to fix "winding marble staircases"? And even if you could could even a Russian mafia boss afford the French marble staircase workers union rates?
You are on to the real story...the costs to do a full renovation would be much, much more than a new manor, so they tear the old place down, say, "oops, my bad" and rebuild with new stuff.
A friend of mine who has a place in France told me today that this is not all that uncommon.
Cary Grant/Tom Hanks. Hmmmm hard to decide. (just kidding).
I've seen that movie but years ago so I went to Wikipedia. Seems in Blandings they end up tearing down the original house so yes, a much more appropriate analogy.
Hope the polish guy is bonded.
There is a place in northern Italy, where tons of marble is pulled out and made into whatever you desire. I'm pretty sure that they can find a hundred Italians around who could still cut and fit a winding stairway in the old methods. I would agree...in England and France...there might be just two or three guys left. But in Italy? There's probably 500 of these guys around.
Grand total for the house and property was $38,000 according to Mrs. Blandings in their first night in the house. Assuming the factor used to arrive at the 2010 value show above is correct, the total cost of the house and property would be $340,000
Think of that. In 50 years the value of the dollar was devalued 90%
Blandings is an advertising executive living in Manhattan. His salary in the movie is $15,000/year.
He was an ad man. Kind of a 1940s version of "Man Men".
He saved his job by coming up with the slogan (actually his maid came up with it) If you ain't eat'n Wham you ain't eat'n ham.
They had MAIDS on $15,000/year. Unbelievable.
Sorry "Mad Men".
If they were working for the Obama administration it would be just another day on the job
The AC-cent was on the wrong syl-LAL-ble.
Nice alliteration there, BTW.
Polish builders... Russian businessman...umm sure it was a misunderstanding ;)
".....employed a team of Polish builders to renovate....."
Key word: Polish.
In the 1970's Steve Martin wrote a short story about a similar occurrence.
It seems a Mr. Rivers was New York City crane operator for a demolition company. He was sent to France for a special job. He started work, and due to a poorly drawn map, began the demolition of the Cathedral at Chatres.
He knocked out all of the stained glass and a couple of the walls of the structure.
He was sent back home immediately, and upon his return, went to the library and opened up books on the Cathedral and read about it. He thought to himself how lucky he was to have seen it before it was destroyed.
