Jinna of Grease and Glamour, New York-based fashion blog (which made it to the finals in the Sunglass Hut Full Time Fabulous blogger competition), shows us one of her favorite denim-on-denim looks. Here's what she had to say about it:
"Lately I'm obsessed with understatement. Casual and comfy pieces paired with a killer pair of heels gives off the 'I-didn't-try-but-still-look-amazing" vibe. The harem-esque drawstring H&M jeans gave the look a boyish feel, but the low-cut tank and Y-3 heels add some fierce feminine flair. The oversize J. Lindberg denim shirt added a totally different texture thanks to the acid-wash detail, and the polo beanie topped the look off with a bit of mechanic zest."
A self-proclaimed style chameleon, she'll rock Miu Miu's and a Goyard bag one day, and an entire thrifted wardrobe the next. See the full look and more of her looks on Jinna's blog, Grease and Glamour.

The Buckhorn Archers held a 3D fun shoot on June 7 at the Bear Creek Campground in Huntington Canyon. The archers shot at 20 targets on a challenging trail walk where they came upon many species of big game, small animals and an upright bear. The shooters aimed for the scoring ring where the smallest circle counted 12 points and so on until just a hit in the animal gave the competitor five points. There were approximately 50 shooters who came to try their luck on the course. The archers found a peg at each station where they were required to touch the peg with some part of their body while they took a shot at the animal down range. The targets were set-up among the trees and at many different angles. Some of the shots were uphill and some were downhill. Many of the targets were concealed in the trees with only a narrow pathway to the target usually lined with trees and limbs which were the topic of much colorful language.
There were fun shoots as well as a competition round. Ladies joined in the fun as well as youth from around the area. If you are interested in learning about the Buckhorn Archers Club and would like to know about their shoots, contact Carl Sitterud at 653-2417.

"The job of the newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable," Finley Peter Dunne (1867 — 1936)
Is there any newspaper in America right now more varied, cacophonous, and fearlessly independent in its education coverage than the Washington Post?
Over the weekend, the Post's Dana Milbank suggested that if Ed Sec. Arne Duncan wants to get serious about curbing bullying in U.S. schools, he should start by reigning in "the the biggest bully in America's schools right now," President Obama. "In federal education policy, the president and his education secretary have been the neighborhood toughs — bullying teachers, civil rights groups, even Obama's revered community organizers." Obama, Milbank writes, has taken the Bush obsession with testing and amplified it.
Obama has expanded the importance of standardized testing to determine how much teachers will be paid, which educators will be fired and which schools will be closed — despite evidence that such practices are harmful. In the process, he's offended just about all the liberals involved in or advocating for education without gaining much support from conservatives.
Locally, Bill Turque has run afoul of Michelle Rhee and even his own paper with his coverage of the DC school system, while the editorial page is consistently supportive of the DC chancellor. In the blogosphere, the Post's Valerie Strauss and Jay Mathews often come across as the Carville and Matalin of edubloggers, with the latter generally supportive of the ed reform agenda, and the former mightily skeptical.
Milbank's piece this weekend is spectacularly pointed, calling out the admininstration for an obsession with testing and refusal to listen to criticism.
"There's an attitude that if you aren't with us, you are against us — and therefore against children and reform," a Democratic friend of mine who runs an education advocacy group in Washington told me. The administration, she said, "tries to bully and condemn any opposition, even if it is from groups that should be their allies."
The Post is clearly giving its writers and opinionators a long leash. Agree or disagree with their varied takes–and it's impossible not to do one or the other, often daily–it's bravura newspapering, and consistently great reading.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
MMORPG.com Warhammer Online Correspondent writes this article giving an overview of the three different Tier 1 scenarios available in Mythic Entertainment's Warhammer Online.
Gates of Ekrund is the Tier 1 Dwarfs vs Greenskins scenario. 12 players on each side may take part in this battle. This is your typical hold an objective and get points scenario. Simply stand near the objective and you'll notice a bar below your minimap moving to indicate your progress in capturing it. Up to six players can capture a single objective, the more players nearby, the faster you capture it.
Personally, I feel Gates of Ekrund is the best of the Tier 1 scenarios. Taking place inside the walls of, and on top of, the gate, this scenario provides for a fast paced, close quarters battle. The combat is so close in fact that my allies were rarely outside of my shaman's 100ft heal range. There are three capture points within the gate. One point is on the left and another on the right of the gate and they're both in small cubbyholes for rooms. The third, and most valuable, point is right in the middle of both of the other points and is rather exposed. There are ledges upon which casters and other ranged combats can rain down destruction while their melee counterparts are in the thick of things on the ground fighting for the objective.
Check it out here.
Jon Wood
Managing Editor
Only speaking on what I have found so far, I played Ekrund and Nordenwatch as a Order Warrior Priest more then 20 times each.
15 to 5 Chaos over Order for NordenWatch (NW)
18 to 2 Order over Chaos for Ekrund (EK)
It seemed in NW, the lack of a human tank really seemed to hurt, we might get a dwarf or two, but not many, which meant groups of Witch Hunters, Warrior Preists, and Bright Wizards to try and match the Tank heavy Chaos, with plenty of healer back up from many shaman. We were having a hard time with countering all the melee that comes to bear.
In the EK, it seemed like we were mostly dwarf based, which meant plenty of tanks, rune priests, engineers, and throw in some humans or elves who joined and we were holding our own against a mostly Orc Goblin team.
This is purely subjective to the group you queue in with so results will certianly vary.
I would like to point out, that Shaman at the sub 12 level is a pretty powerful character, but I'm sure it evens out later on.
Rage - Head Honcho of the Revilers
"Ragemore and Whine Less"
on World Edge Mountians serv scenario gates of ekrund is win almoust 90% by Order i lost 2 perhaps 3 times today on it as Bright mage
I think it just depends on what time you are playing, what server and with who. If I joined a scenerio solo, I would usually end up losing 70% of the time. If I went with my guild where we were in vent talking we hardly ever lost. I would say we won 90 to 95% of the time on all 3 scenarios.
I don't see the point in giving preview thoughts of a game because you have to praise it or the publisher wont want Mythic to talk to you in the future for slamming them. Also because you feel the game is in beta and will have some miracle change....... nope this is how the game is going to be on launch.
This is why I don't trust official opinions on games and have to play it for myself.
to me they played like WOW battlegrounds and will end up being a RP grind.

MMORPG.com has posted plenty of negative reviews in the past about other games. Just because their reviews don't coincide with yours doesn't mean they aren't any more realistic; even though it is just his opinion.
I might have missed it in the article, but another additional point can be made. If you are below level 8 when you enter the scenario, your level is artificially raised to level 8 so that you have some degree of survivability. You do not gain any new skills (so if you're level 1, you still only have 2 skills). But at least in terms of hit points and damage dealt, you perform as you would at level 8. This is a nice feature, as it allows people to immediately jump into the scenario without feeling totally helpless.
I wasn't a big fan of the dwarf scenario being a archer at all. but all were fun the human one is so far my favorite.
Ill only comment on the one map ive run. Playing the nothrend scenario as a choas marauder we win probably 70%. It doesnt have anything to do with favoring one side or the other, simply application of tactics. As op mentioned there is plenty of room to maneuver, a couple choke points, and different paths to different flags.
It all depends on how well you work as a team and what classes show up.
It is only slightly different than Wow battlegrounds. So much for innovation.....
Funny that you say "so much for innovation" when Wow got the whole idea of Battlegrounds from Mythic's DAoC.
This scenario seems to heavily favor Destruction. Over the dozen or so times I played this encounter with my Gobbo Shaman, Destruction only lost once. While it's possible that this could be attributed to the server I was on that seems rather unlikely given the incredible win loss ratio I experienced.
I'd have to say that's the most retarded statement I've read all day.

silly wedge, don't you know there weren't any other games before or after wow? wow is the only game ever created, which is why *people* compare everything to it.
even though wow stole and slightly improved upon, pretty much EVERYTHING that is in wow. so pretty much everything you see in wow, WAS done by another game (or several games) before wow. but if you have someone whose experience is ONLY wow; then, what can you expect?
all the toons for warcraft were based off of the warhammer ip. warhammer...warcraft... hmm even the name sounds similar.
so much for innovation in wow, eh ciredric? ... that's only three scenarios/battlegrounds for levels 1-10 in war, vs the massive 0 in wow. wow has how many bgs now total? 3? 4? so about as many scenarios as i COULD play in from level 1-10 (in war) is the total number of BGs i can play in wow from lvl 1-70?
i mean every game has trophies you can wear, right? they've all got public quests, don't they? they've all got battles in which not only you can conquer the enemy's capitol city; but, you can also capture their ruler?
war will be like wow, hopefully, in that it will improve upon a lot of features already in other games. war will hopefully be unlike wow, in that it will advertise itself as an all-out WAR and then not add any pvp features until about 9 months after launch.
now don't get me wrong, if i'm having fun with a GAME, i'll play it. i'm playing eve and cox currently. the wife will most probably talk me into playing wotlk with her for at least the month that comes with the box. if war releases and is pretty decent, i may take it up as well.
it's not game vs game, for us, the gamers. it's -- is a game fun? do the game developers completely BS us, or do they try to give it to us straight? do the devs stick to their limited "vision" and ignore what is actually FUN in the game? *cough* emmert *cough*
it's ok to like more than one game. you really CAN play and enjoy eq2, wow, and aoc.. if you so desire. but opinions are not facts. facts are facts and if you present an opinion, be prepared to have other people counter it with THEIR opinion. if you present an opinion as a fact, and it's wrong, prepare to be flamed. if you present facts, prepare for idiots to act like they are just your opinion; because morons can't be bothered to read AND comprehend the funny words.
having said all of that, wow doesn't have the trophy system, it's introducing a badge system which is remarkably similiar to COx's badges, wow doesn't have public quests that reward folks for participating, wow certainly doesn't have rvr.
bleh, i guess i'm just tired of all the comparing every bloody game that comes out to wow. wow didn't do anything new, they only improved upon a lot of features already available in other games, and (thanks to kaplan and pardo) they made wow into an incredibly raid/gear centric spinoff of eq.
could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?
Playing a level 10 Shaman (Healer) on Iron server. With 25 runs at Gates of Ekrund (EK) Destruction have won 100%. Not been in a loosing team yet. This runs entirely contrary to the earlier claims that Order as the best equipped realm for this battleground.
EK is not composed of Orc Goblin team but Orcs and Goblins, which are also very different.

Could Have sworn mythic did RvR before WoW was out. I also could have sworn World of Warcraft was pretty much a rip off of the warhammer universe. I assure you, WoW is not a diety, stop worshipping it.

Doesn't change the fact that WoW refined the concept using the IP in 2003 and it came first. Only the oblivious will argue that warhammer didnt have the IP before WoW came about, but from a gameplay concept, sorry WoW came first.
The Tier 1 scenarios are basically just arathi basin....kind of hard to deny that, though im sure some will.
I like a LOT of what warhammer has done, and it will be a success, but it definitely looks, plays, and feels exactly like WoW. Which isnt a bad thing since wow = $ and WAR is going to pull some people off WoW and do well for themselves.
Darkfall Releases on: February 25th, 2009
Darkfall Recap of everything that has happened the last 3 months: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/213296
"The monsters are tough. I was looking for a challenge, but these things are just too damn smart." -DF Beta Tester
"If people were dismissing it, then they wouldn't be talking about it. The well-meaning gamers root for efforts that try to raise the bar. So who's left? It's so easy being a skeptic." -Tasos
Lots of for and against arguments so far.
There's a whole lot more to this game than just the 1st type of rvr u have experianced so far in lvl 1-11, wait till you all get to try Keep sieges, they beat any previous pvp experiances i,ve encountered in any game in the last 30+yrs.
You can deploy as attackers: Trebuche's, Ballasta's and Battering ram
Defenders can Pour oil on those below at gate, deploy hell canons to shoot at attackers from keep paraphets, and shoot from top as mage, archer etc.
Wayyyyyyy fun.
In nordenwatch we won a fair 60-70% of the battles tonite, side ORDER thank you
Really, it's about 50-50 for the wins in the tier 1 scenario, I don't see preference to any side..
I have years experience playing both WOW and DAoC and I can say DAoC was the first to do RVR and it is still the better system by far. I have always said and continue to say the thing WOW really got right was marketing. I have never seen any product pushed like Blizzard pushed WoW before release.
Wow made a solid game I will admit but no one aspect of the game was better than other MMo's .
Marketing - Excellent
Making a cross platform game that did not require a high-end graphics card - Excellent
RvR/pvp= very Good
Dungeons = Very Good
Everything else IMO gets fair to poor compared to what else is out there.
Anyhow I love Warhammer so far as does my wife but I wish the crafting system was much better.
I am also pretty sure Blizzard's WoW is the reigning king of all the MMOs, and as such it will be compared to 'everything' that gets released by those looking to move on. The attack you make shows my biggest gripe about a lot of people who post here. One sided rebuttals and arguments without attempting to see where the view attacked is coming from.
Warhammer does feel like a muddy slower stepbrother to WoW. Sure the RvR and pvp are more flushed out, but that does not mean its going to be a better game. I've discovered several bugs in the game that should have been flushed out long ago, and for an open beta a mere week before launch they should not exist. Personally the RvR is the 'only' thing this game has going for it.
People who are fed up and frustrated with what is lacking in World of Warcraft are going to find more of the same in Warhammer Online and move on very quickly. I personally hoped, going into the beta, that it would be something that is a departure from the WoW formula and found its just more of the same I have been playing for nearly 4 years now. Someone please tell me why I should reset the clock and start back at square one in Warhammer.
Sorry to say, the scenarios feel entirely too close to WoW's battlegrounds which will probably turn people off as its the same thing they've been doing before only this time they have to put up 'again' with the leveling factor which many just won't want to put up with again.
I honestly just don't know what in hell Mythic was thinking when they started making this game, "Hey lets copy the WoW formula and maybe we can pull 5% of the Blizzard customer base and turn a profit." Guess I will have to continue my search for an innovative MMO that is actually fun to play.
hmmm im a bit confused, see ive played wow and many other mmos out there...and yes i do see a similarity war has towards wow....but i really dont know why everyone compares those two.
imo war seems to be a lot closer to lotro than it is to wow....maybe im just missing something, idk.
well anyway ive gotta say, i love this game...now if only i could get it to run without lag, meh ill just upgrade instead lol
"I am also pretty sure Blizzard's WoW is the reigning king of all the MMOs"
Yes, without any doubt, but only because it is so popular not because it is so great. It is popular because of the reasons I stated earlier not because it is the best MMO ever. As far as one game copying another, they all copy from one another and most focus on wow because they want to use a successful MMO for reference not a failure. I don't understand why more companies don't increase their marketing budget.
WoW Vs WAR = beating on a dead horse = off topic
Please, let WAR mature a bit further - anyway this all depends on points of view, tastes, etc... so no real point in bashing WoW or bashing WAR. Not worth your and specially my time to even compare them.
It's just games, so have fun with whatever you fency.
Now to the topic of this thread. I found that I actually had fun with those battles and yeah it all depends if your in a guild (vent users), knowing a bit of the games strategic, server, time, people you play with. I may be wrong but I don't think Order is weaker than Destruction or the other way around which is good btw.
Cheers and see you on the battlefield!
Blood for the Blood God!
yeah we were off topic a bit but I am not bashing either game. I have had fun playing both games. WAR is going to be a blast. I think it is far too early to tell how balanced things are. I do think balancing is a huge task and I think Mythic has got things close already.

Hmm.. I wasn't refering to anyone in particular nor did I even looked at the posters' names. It just that it is a bit tiring to have witness so many WoW vs WAR threads/posts since around '06 to '08 specially when its getting off topic.
But yes, I totally agree with you when you said that it's going to be a blast and that is really too early to tell how balance things are... Hell it's still beta. And yes, balancing is a tremendous task to deliver.
Mythic has learn a big deal with DoAC, we all know this imho but not only that. They also pretty much closely followed Games Workshop's IP with its RPG pen & paper/Table top rules, like morale as an example, which are actually balanced. But then again that's not a MMO. So, yes, let's see what this will all bring and like I said earlier, let WAR mature a bit (WoW and all other games have gone through the same process of trial and error - like you start as a noob to finally own the game).
Cheers and enjoy WAR!
Dam i hate these stupid WoW vs every MMO that has been and will be released, they are all just WoW addicts not willing to try any other game because they will go cold turkey :P
By the way.. i'm not a WoW hater, just a other game lover

Hawkchurch is located within East Devon local authority area.
A parish history file is held in Axminster Library. You can look for other material on the community by using the place search on the main local studies database.
Maps: The image below is of the Hawkchurch area on Donn's one inch to the mile survey of 1765.
On the County Series Ordnance Survey mapping the area is to be found on 1:2,500 sheet 72/3 Six inch (1:10560) sheet 72NE
The National Grid reference for the centre of the area is ST343004. On the post 1945 National Grid Ordnance Survey mapping the sheets are: 1:10,000 (six inch to a mile: sheet ST30SW, 1:25,000 mapping: sheet Explorer 029, Landranger (1:50,000) mapping: sheet 193. Geological sheet 326 also covers the area.
Extract from Devon by W.G.Hoskins (1954), included by kind permission of the copyright holder:
HAWKCHURCH lies in attractive hilly country rising to the Dorset Border. The name means "Hafoc's church," indicating the presence of a church here in pre-Conquest times. The present church (St. John the Baptist) though drastically restored in 1862 (except the tower) is still of considerable interest, retaining much of its Norman interior. The N. arcade is 12th century; that on the S. is somewhat later (c. 1200) with stiff foliage and quaint figures on the square caps. The tower is stately, rising in four stages and bearing the arms of Cerne Abbey. It shows strong Somerset influence. Wyld Court is a fine late 16th century house with a much-gabled front and mullioned windows. It was formerly E-shaped but the W. wing has been pulled down.

Six thoughts 10/09/11: Jets 1-5 Canadiens
Cam Charron
October 10 2011 11:43AM
A rough loss for the 'Peg early on, with the national media having descended upon Winnipeg and the hockey world, lovers, haters, it was probably tough to find a TV this thanksgiving in a Canadian home not tuned into the Jets first game back in Winnipeg. Montreal jumped out ahead early and won quite decisively 5-1.
-I'm always wary of games like this for the home team. Distraction plays a major part when there's an event surrounding the game that's bigger than the game. The press suggested that the Canadiens were in tough because this would be a loud crowd in Winnipeg, but, they've already played this season and can approach this game like any other. It's just another road game in a loud building. For the Jets, you have to deal with questions pre-game from Scott Oake such as "what's it like to finally play in a building that cares?" (I'm, of course, paraphrasing the wooden CBC personality's god-awful question to Evander Kane) and I have to think the players think about that a little too much. Outdoor games tend to favour the road teams (the home team is 2-4), as do home openers (the home team is 9-10 so far this season).
-All that in mind, Winnipeg came out skating and got some good chances early on, but they were gripping their sticks pretty tight and looked inept inside the perimeter. The lacklustre powerplay didn't help and Montreal did a good job at taking away Dustin Byfuglien's shooting space. He had just six attempts at net in the game when normally he'd have 10 or 11 last season and a lot of that came because he only got a couple of shots on the powerplay, both outside efforts. He's a versitile guy who can move up and down the zone in with the extra man but nothing was available to him. His best chance of the night, by the way, came in the second period when Alexandr Burmistrov deked around his man and tried to pass it to Brett MacLean, but the puck ricocheted off Gomez and landed right on Byfuglien's stick in the slot. It looked like even Byfuglien was surprised it came but he got a good shot away anyway. Carey Price was surprised it came, too, but it caught him right in the middle.
-Winnipeg's goal itself was pretty sloppy, but who's kidding? Most goals in this game are. Mark Stuart tossed it at the net and Brett MacLean ran some borderline goalie interference as Nik Antropov of all people started hacking away at it and it got by Carey Price. It wasn't a real thing of beauty, but the blue-collar goals count just as much on the scoreboard as the ones that ripple the twine in a way that makes it visible all over the rink. Interestingly with this workmanlike goal is that it's in the spirit championed by Canadian hockey players, but a Kazakh, an American and a Russian figured in on the official tally.
-The worst call of the game, and the possible end-point to any hope the Jets may have had was when Byfuglien "interfered with" Brian Gionta while crossing the ice in front of Tobias Enstrom to set up a one-timer. That said, Montreal's excecution on the ensuing 4-on-3 was surgical and there was absolutely nothing Ondrej Pavelec could do on that shot by Yannick Weber. No relation to Shea, but you wouldn't have known it on that play.
-Blake Wheeler drew a penalty on a breakaway that he created for himself out of nothing. Receiving the stretch pass and knowing he didn't have enough space to free himself up, Wheeler flipped the puck forward, knowing he could out-skate anybody ahead of him. He rushed onto the puck and moved in, but, a recurring problem from Sunday afternoon, he completely lost control of it when he made his deke. Montreal defenseman Weber was penalized on the play for holding, but it looked like he had made a pretty strong hockey play and pushed Wheeler off the puck. Regardless, you could see some of the speed and skill that Wheeler has and he will score a lot of cool goals this season.
-Finally, just a word on Pavelec. He allowed the second shot of the season and looked shaky in the first period, giving a lot of pucks just a little bit more life around the crease before smothering them. He didn't get a lot of help from his defense, particularly Johnny Oduya, but he has to play better. I won't fault him on any of the goals except on Max Pacioretty's, but a good goalie needs to come up with at least one more big stop to give his team a chance. He wasn't the reason they gave up five goals but has a lot of room to be better.

I have my suspicions. The first trailer was taken down at the request of Dattebayo. When have they ever subbed a movie before it was released on DVD? The third one was really vague on detail. I mean wtf? They usually give use a glimpse of a villian.

As for the new movie, we'll have to wait for another trailer. The most this one shows is that it will deal with Kakashi. He probably stabbed some beast with his Raikiri which inadvertently acted as a seal. Some evil dude breaks the seal, Kakashi feels its his responsibility and abandons Konoha, resolving to take matters into his own hand. Be funny if I pegged this movie perfectly.
lool can they already stop with that bullshit! movie 3! Bleach Numbe 1
As for the new movie, I think your premise would be cool to watch. Maybe the evil dude turns out to be Madara later, lmfao.

By JAMES L. DAVISEditor, Emery County Progress
The Emery County Drug Court gives an opportunity for those facing drug related offenses a chance to get their lives back on track. After two years in operation, six people have graduated from the program and 15 more are currently enrolled.
"Our job is always negative because we have to deal with people when they're in trouble," said Sheriff Lamar Guymon. "But with the Drug Court we can help you get your life back on track."
The only Drug Court on this side of the Uintah Basin, Sheriff Guymon said the Emery County program is unique because it is the only drug court in the state that does both adult and juvenile cases.
Deputy Jeremiah Johnson is the Drug Court officer and as such he keeps constant track of those enrolled in the yearlong program. To be in Drug Court individuals have to be charged with a substance abuse incident. Once enrolled those in Drug Court are required to attend classes every night at Four Corners Mental Health, either alcohol anonymous classes or narcotics anonymous classes or a variety of substance abuse classes that are offered at Four Corners.
"We try to take up their idle time," Johnson said. "We're trying to help them get a life-style change."
In Drug Court Johnson acts as the parole officer, which gives him leeway to check in on individuals anytime, day or night. Adults in the program must have a full time job or be enrolled in college full time. Juveniles have to maintain a 2.5 GPA, or, if not in school, they must obtain their general education diploma. Once in Drug Court individuals must call every morning and find out if they are on the list to come in for a urinalysis test. Typically subjects are tested three to seven times a week and they never know when they might be tested.
"Unlike other programs we give them an excuse to succeed, not an excuse to fail. In the beginning Jeremiah is their enemy because he haunts them and has the ability to put them in jail if they get into trouble. At the end of the program he is their friend because he has helped them straighten out their lives," Sheriff Guymon said.
The sheriff said that the programs and assistance of Four Corners is instrumental to the program's success. "One of the key elements is Emery Jones and the staff of Four Corners."
The first six months after graduating from Drug Court are critical for those who have gone through the program. According to Johnson if graduates have any problems during the first six months after graduating then their experience was not considered a success. Of the six who have graduated Sheriff Guymon said they have had no problem with any of them.
According to the sheriff among the first people who entered Drug Court were two young people who desperately needed help getting their life in order. "They were two kids who were going nowhere. They went through the program, cleaned up their life and are doing very well. The more of these kind of programs we can do the better we can help deal with the drug problem," Sheriff Guymon said.

Direct sales, which the retailer says are mostly online, decline 2.7%.
Mark Brohan
Total revenue was up for outdoor, hunting and fishing gear retailer Cabela's Inc. in 2012, but the growth didn't come from the company's direct channel.
For the year ended Dec. 29, Cabela's, No. 43 in the 2012 Internet Retailer Top 500 reported:
Direct sales accounted for 29.9% of total sales compared with 34.0% in 2011. Cabela's doesn't break out web sales, but on the year-end earnings call with Wall Street analysts Castner conveyed that most of the company's direct sales, which includes catalog and online, were generated by its e-commerce channel. "If you're defining an Internet sale as how the order came through, it is such a huge piece now of the direct business, it's hardly worth distinguishing the two," Castner told analysts.
For the fourth quarter Cabela's reported:
Direct sales accounted for 34.4% of total sales compared with 38.5% in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Speaker: Senator John Sparkman
Date: October 5, 1968
First elected to the House in 1936 as a Democrat from Alabama, Sparkman won a special election to the Senate in 1946. While Sparkman supported liberal domestic programs, he was staunchly opposed to civil rights legislation. As Governor Wallace?s influence grew, Sparkman?s support of many liberal domestic programs waned. Sparkman, however, continued to support many of Johnson?s urban housing programs. He consistently supported Johnson?s foreign aid programs and the war in Vietnam.

I hate to resurrect a dead question, but I looked back through the times Amaterasu was used, and each of the times we saw their eyes bleed from using just that technique.
So I think its just the Amaterasu technique that causes the bleeding, probably because its so extreme of a physical ninjutsu.
I'm going to remind you that this thread is about getting answers to question. Someone threw in a random comment that derailed the conversation. That's the fastest way to you know where. And I actually like this thread. It reduces the number of petty threads that get opened up.

Is it true countries economies depend on the income provided and obtained by the Ninja villages?
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
A powerful ninja village in your country assures two things, 1. Nobody is going to interfere with your business operations, and 2. You have the opportunity to interfere with other countries businesses without repercussions.
So, I don't think that the Ninjas income helps the economy of a country that much. But having a powerful (and economically sustainable) ninja village in your country does allow other businesses in that country to flourish.
Or it could be a chicken/egg scenario, since countries with successful businesses are also the ones that have the money to hire ninja, that's where the big ninja villages located to.

Craig Johansen gave an update on water at the recent May meeting of the Emery County Public Lands Council. The forecast is the expectation of what can be expected from the runoff. The streamflow forecast as of May 1 was listed as: Electric Lake inflow-8,500 acre feet which is 54 percent of normal; Huntington Creek near the first diversion, 32,000 acre feet which is 64 percent of normal; Joes Valley inflow, 29,000 acre feet which is 50 percent of normal; Ferron Creek above Millsite, 22,000 acre feet which is 56 percent of normal; Muddy Creek, near Emery, 13,000 acre feet which is 65 percent of normal.
In Joes Valley reservoir at the beginning of the season there was 11,000 acre feet of water, in September, it is projected that the reservoir will have 5,000 acre feet of water. A full allocation of water at 100 percent from Joes Valley is 28,000 acre feet of water; 70 percent allocation is being allotted this year which is close to 20,000 acre feet of water. This allows a 5,000 acre feet of water buffer for the reservoir.
"The reservoir in September will be the lowest we've seen. A lot of rain would help the inflow, evaporation and seepage will come from the 5,000 acre feet left in the reservoir. We expect the runoff to be completed within the next three weeks. Last year we allocated 100 percent from Joes Valley and this year we are dealing with 30 percent less on the allocated water. The front end of the season will be the same as last year, but the tail end of the season will be drier unless we get some rain in July and August. Each of the water share owners that own project water have some primary water to go with it and everyone is not going to run out of water at the same time. The project water is an oncall system and people call for the water as they need it.
"Those with the sprinklers will be at an advantage," said Johansen.

Rich Walje the president of Rocky Mountain Power hosted a luncheon for local government officials and community leaders to update them on RMP and where things are headed in the energy business.
Deb Dull, public relations from RMP introduced Walje as well as several local RMP employees. Dull said an employee was seated at every table to help answer questions from the guests.
Walje said for the past five years he along with Karen Gilmore, customer representative, have worked hard to get out into the communities where their utilities are located and also the areas which are served by RMP. Getting out into the communities helps keep him in touch with what's going on in the field. He said top management sometimes gets together in meetings and they try to convince each other they really know what's going on, this approach doesn't work. "We want to stay connected," said Walje.
Walje said RMP has much invested in Carbon and Emery counties and he appreciates the reception the company has received in these counties. He said RMP asks the question, 'What do you need us to do to help accomplish your goals?' RMP is involved in some way in everyone's life in the area through power generation. You either receive power from RMP or have a connection to the energy industry. The power plants are right in the midst of the communities and try to be good neighbors.
In the past Walje said there has been some confusion about the company and its operators. With the new company, MidAmerican Holdings, the company wants the locals to have more ownership in the company. As a utility, in the past it seems to have lost contact with its roots. The new company likes to see more decisions made on a local level. RMP services customers in Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, and Pacific Power has customers in Northern California, Oregon and Washington. Their service area encompasses 110,000 square miles.
Walje said he has roots in this area with his paternal grandparents being buried in Green River. He worked on the lines here in his early days. When the Huntington and Hunter plants were being constructed the economy was robust. In 1981-82, it looked like the load projection for growth wasn't going to materialize so things were scaled back and Hunter 4 wasn't built. It wasn't financially feasible to bear that much financial burden on the books when it looked like there wouldn't be a return on the investment. "It was a painful decision for the company and employees at that time."
Through the mid 80s it looked like there would be enough capacity and for two decades that was the case. In order for the company to maintain viability in 1989 it merged with Pacific Power. They had a different peak than Utah Power and arrangements provided customers with a rate decrease. RMP now has a rate case before the Public Service Commission asking for a rate hike which will bring the price back to what it was in 1986 before the merger. The company has become more efficient and does more work with less employees. Consumers are using more energy now. Demand has gone up and homes are bigger, there are more gadgets, large TVs, high powered furnaces and air conditioners, computers, more lighting in homes, etc. Utah has the largest home size in the country. With Davis County being first among the counties. This isn't just because Utah has bigger families, people want more amenities. Walje said it has brought about a craziness, "We've grown accustomed to the good things electricity brings us."
Walje said technology depends so much on electricity. He talked of the health care industry and how so many tests and machines and new technology are tied to electricity. "We feel a strong obligation to provide safe and reliable electricity," said Walje.
Utah's electricity rates are among the lowest in the nation because RMP has relied on low cost, high quality coal for much of the resource. Coal has been the bed rock foundation of society and vitality here in Carbon and Emery counties. Washington and California have outlawed the use of coal fired generation for electricity in their states.
RMP will place much focus on wind and solar now and in the future. "Wyoming is a very good source of wind, the wind blows 40 percent of the time; 60 percent of the time it's not generating. Mid American-PacifiCorp will own more wind power than any other company in the near future. We need to make sure that renewable is cost effective," said Walje.
He said they have been asked why they don't store power for peak times, "There is no cost effective way to store bulk power," he said.
Solar energy is three times more expensive to produce. "The main obligation we are held to by the Public Service Commission is to keep rates low," said Walje. The US still receives 50 percent of its power generation from coal. Most of this coal comes from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming. Twenty percent of the power in the US comes from nuclear. Walje said there is a fear of nuclear power, although he believes this fear is unfounded. Since its inception its been a very safe industry. Sometimes those who don't want nuclear energy plant those fears among the public. "There are not ready solutions," said Walje.
Carbon capture and injection back into the ground is an ongoing research project, but it isn't being done anywhere yet. Walje has a hard time seeing that technology applied on a large scale power plant. It is unproven technology on a plant which operates, 24-7. Some technology people want implemented simply doesn't exist and if it does exist the cost is prohibitive. "As a company we are not arguing over climate science, we are utility people. We are not involved in research and development of new energy," said Walje.
Up until last year, plans were underway for new coal fired units. Bridger, IPP and Hunter four. They were also looking at integrated coal, combined cycle which turns coal to a gas first before its burned lessening CO2 emissions. This new technology puts a coal fired plant at twice the cost of a regular coal fired plant.
Walje said legislation is being considered which places a carbon tax of $30-$100 per ton for every ton of C02 produced which could result in a $1,500 increase for consumers. Walje said the technologies don't exist to totally eliminate C02 and the government shouldn't put restrictions and taxes in place that they (companies) have no way of reaching. The government should focus on new technologies and making them affordable and feasible.
Walje said RMP installed a scrubber on Huntington one which has reduced emissions considerably.
Walje said he sees every permit for coal fired plants being challenged in the next 10 years by environmental groups, but he sees that breaking loose at some time in the future. He sees nuclear as part of the future and RMP has looked into that but right now it's very expensive in the $5 billion ball park figure and the company simply can't put that much out.
He sees the country still relying on traditional electrical facilities to handle increased loads. "I am very proud of the Carbon and Emery facilities. I hope we have been a good citizen. These counties have embraced our company and our employees. I have the ultimate respect for the people in Carbon and Emery counties," said Walje.
Walje answered a few questions from audience members. One question centered around the future of wind and natural gas.
Walje said the country needs to come to grips with what it takes to keep the country going, the focus cannot be entirely on renewables. For the next 10 years, RMP will explore wind and gas and maintain their coal generation. New transmission lines will also be added from traditional sources. They are identifying sites where those transmission lines might go. People need to concentrate on conservation of energy which lessens impacts. RMP wants to meet growth, but do it cost effectively. Some exotic forms of power could be as costly as 20 cents per kh. The cost to produce electricity has risen substantially with gas and diesel costs, steel, copper, wind turbines, concrete and all building materials have sky rocketed.
In surveys RMP has done the customer cares most about reliability and prices.

I hate you.
Give me 8 million and I'll give you a Dune MMO.
Hating on elves and "no elves allowed" kind of crap is even more tired than the elves themselves. No originality or inspiration here, moving on...
UO spoiled me on elves.
The crowd there that played elves (and other races) roleplayed as elves, ran events based on elven lore and fiction, spoke various dialects of Elven/elvish/elf-ese or whatever. They added a color and diversity to the game world. This is not to say there wasn't also a gaggle of trueblack deathrobe-wearing Legol'ass morons polluting the game, but that there were substantial communities of players on the servers I played (Pacific, Catskills, Atlantic) who contributed a unique game experience to UO through their elf-based communities.
Since then, "elf" in most MMOs just means "donkey-eared class with magic or archery bonuses." In light of that, Elves Must Die.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein
"Graphics are often supplied by Engines that (some) MMORPG's are built in" - Spuffyre
It is always a bad idea to define yourself by a negative.
You don't like elves... And I should care, why -- especially since that whole sad trope has been done to death and done far better? You don't like fantasy... So what? Tell me what you do like, what you are going to write about, not some blithering incoherent and meaningless rant against a popular form just so you can try and score points with the oddly large percentage of people frequenting this site that don't, won't, and can't grasp that most people play MMOs to escape the real world and have fun, in so doing they could give a crap less about Sandboxes or some random person's bizarre fear of pointy eared beings.
My comments are directed to the OP. I wanted to complement the writer on a great article. In this age of childish mmos,and writers who feel they have to use crude street lingo to communicate with their audience, who they percieve to be of the same ilk.....your prose was both stimulating and refreshing.More please.

Nothing against elves.. if a developer wants elves id say ADD them!
The people that do support the *no elves* actually say stop cloning!.
sure i like elves but you create a game and add elves in it just like any other game added them with the exact same feeling and type and everything you wont see me playing ur product.
Cloning a game = AWFULL i wont sub to your game cus your elves look pretier then an older games elves give me good gameplay and i play ur elves

FUCKING DO IT. But don't base it on the movie.
EDIT: I see what you did there.
Does this mean it is FINALLY time for Asheron's Call 3?
I mean instead of elves, dwarves, gnomes -- they actually managed to put a world together with virindi, olthoi, and lugians.
You do NOT need to use ANY of the "original" fantasy races. You can create a world that is completely different with all different monsters etc.
This is one of the big things that AC did that other MMOs didnt do before or after.
Note we are talking fantasy -- not scifi which by definition has different things than elves dwarves etc. Personally I do not like scifi because offense trumps defense (IE the gun of whatever era).
I love fantasy.
Instead of hating fantasy why dont you write an article about hatred towardsFace-rolling, quest-hub-hopping,dungeon-findering, themeparks.
when i play a MMORPG the last thing i wan to be is a human thats what i am in real life
When i play LOTRO and am a hobbit why? because thats the only game i can be one ...
i like every races Elves include
I play MMO to be different then my real life period
Some elves are ok, my Elven Warden in Lotro, is a defender of nature, but isn't a pansy that won't resort to violence. I always RP very crude and rude when it comes to battling (for an elf). RP in town usually begins with /me cleans the blood of his golden gleaming armor.
Im not against any race in fantasy MMO's. Im just against the 'disney-approved' implementations. Not just with the elves. But also when greenskins or undead look cute and/or clean. The candy coloured so called evil factions in LOTRO, WoW and EQ2..blegh!

Because those wouldn't be humorous or light-hearted? They'd just be more oh-so-seriousface doom and gloom.
We need a break from seriousface once in a while, or the scowl might freeze on the face forever.
Now about those dragons that appear in every....single...fantasy...game...

|In response to Re: First time used home buyer seeking knowledge...
: Since we bought our "used" home, we have been having problems with drainage. Now that spring has begun, it has intensified to the point that raw sewage is coming up through one floor drain and the basement shower drain (not fun to clean up - let me tell you). This occured after running two loads of laundry. We called our City Works department, who came out and said that we do have a drain problem. They stuck a long plunger down one of our floor drains (they referred to this particular floor drain as a trap; this floor drain is also about 6 feet from the laundry tub drain), but said it would have to be digged up - it was clogged and traps cannot be snaked. They said that the trap should be replaced with a more modern "clean-out" which could be snaked and a camera could be put through.
: Can someone please detail the difference between a trap and a clean-out, and why this "trap" cannot be snaked out.
: On the side: We can hear many of the house sink drains, toilets, and bath drains, and floor drains gurgle when we do our laundry. What causes this sound?
: Your responses are appreciated. Our next course of action depends on it. Thanks!

As I noted yesterday - click here for a refresher - Tom Hiddleston is better without a suit jacket, in just a waistcoat with his sleeves rolled up. He was pictured in Rome that way. And here he is again, in Cologne, Germany yesterday, the same, and good. Very, very good.
(Except now I worry that they only sent him on this press tour with 2 outfits when everyone else gets at least a different change of clothes every day. Isn't he important enough???)

Comments: love these shoes just as comfy as my retired adrenaline 13s. Can't beat the price
From: Colleen, FL, USA. June 11th 2014
Comments: This shoe is a little narrow in the toe box. After 4-5 miles my outer toes start to rub. Another thing about this shoe is that the tongue is narrow too. I can still see my socks after I have laced up my shoes in the space between the shoe and the tongue. Weird. I have never had this problem with my other Brooks running shoes. And I used Shoefitr. I thought about going a size up but then the shoes would have been way too long. I would not buy these shoes again.
From: Anonymous, Lowell, OH, USA. May 6th 2014
Comments: I recently switched from Asics to Brooks. Love this sneaker...it's held up well and haven't had any problems especially with distance runs. I'm a Brooks girl from now on.
From: Anonymous. April 23rd 2014
Comments: The Ravenna 4 has been a delight to run in. The cushioning is there but it's not too much to where the shoe feels heavy. It's reliable on the longer runs, keeping your feet snug and safe from the constant pounding. Overall, it's a good shoe to log your daily miles.
From: Zuly, Texas

Human and Chimpanzee Natural Cognition
By Christophe Boesch
Philosophers, anthropologists, psychologists and others have been addressing the question of "What makes us humans?" for centuries. However, we have always been limited in our ability to answer that question by the fact that in most comparative studies either humans and/or chimpanzees, our closest living relatives, have been placed in species unnatural conditions or have been tested in species untypical situations. Thereby, either species were facing a systematic disadvantage that has hampered our ability to understand "What makes us humans?"
In theory, the solution to this quandary is rather straightforward, as it would "only" require to select some natural tasks that are performed by both species and to compare them in situ. My goal in this project is to do exactly this and compare humans with chimpanzees solving two similar natural tasks: Finding food producing trees in their natural environment and cracking wild nuts.
By making the human / chimpanzee comparison with natural populations solving similar natural daily tasks with all their local and historical accumulated knowledge of the technical challenge, we hope to be able to detect more precisely species differences that are only affected by the specie-specific way to solve such ecological challenges.
Finding food producing trees
Finding food trees is a basic challenge that all animals including humans have to solve and this challenge might be complicated by the visibility conditions prevailing in different environments. Therefore, we are comparing the food finding strategies of the Hadza people in Tanzania, living in an open dry savannah environment, as well as those of the Aka foragers in Central African Republic, living in a closed tropical rainforest, with those of the Taï chimpanzees in Côte d'Ivoire, also living in a closed tropical rainforest.
Our methods for this comparison will be based on the work we have been doing for some years now on the Taï chimpanzees (see our publications Normand et al. 2009a, b, in press, Janmaat et al. 2013, in press). Adopting exactly the same methodology for a similar natural task should allow us to progress our knowledge of the similarities and differences between humans and chimpanzees, as well as try to approach the importance of the ecology on such aspects.
This project is done in collaboration with Frank Marlowe of the University of Cambridge, UK, for the Hadza part, and for the Aka foragers part in collaboration with Barry Hewlett and Adam Boyette of the Washington State University, USA.
Cracking wild nuts
Central African forest hunter-gatherers have traditionally been dependant to a large proportion on the many wild food produced by the forest. One of those resources is especially promising for comparing human and chimpanzee technological skills and this is the hard-shelled wild nuts. More specifically, the Aka foragers in the Central African Republic rely for many months of the year on the nuts they find and crack in the forest, many of those nut species being the same than the ones cracked by the Taï chimpanzees in Côte d'Ivoire. This will allow a very precise comparison of the technique used, the tool used and made, the transport of tools, the efficiencies reach with their tools and techniques, and the cognitive skills required in both species.
I have been studying the nut-cracking behaviour of the chimpanzees for many years and have extensively published about it (e.g. Boesch and Boesch 1981, 1982, 1984a, b, Boesch and Boesch-Achermann 2000, Boesch 1991, 2012). Adopting for this comparative project the same methodology while following Aka women foraging in the forest, I hope to make a detailed comparison of the similarities and the differences of the two species when facing extremely similar natural challenges involving tools.

Printed light
photographic vision and the modern print
31 July – 7 November2004
Media launch
Friday 13 August 2004
Printed light: photographic vision and the modern print will have a media launch in the Orde Poynton Gallery at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra at 11.30am on Friday 13 August.
Photography was invented in the 1840s and ever since then people have marvelled at its ability to capture life in all its manifest detail. This exhibition examines how photographic material, and, in particular, how photographic 'ways of seeing', have influenced 20th-century artists who also work in the print medium.
At one end of the spectrum are works that one would not, at first glance, associate with photography at all, such as Jennifer Bartlett's Untitled I, II, III [Graceland] 1979, which is built around a series of grids, while a t the other end of the spectrum are Peter Blake's 'borrowed' 19th century postcard erotica presented as found 'objects'
Eduardo Paolozzi, one of the artists at the forefront of English Pop art in the 1960s, took photographic imagery that he had collected over a 20-year period from a variety of popular 'low-art' sources – magazines, films, posters, advertisements, sci-fi comics – to produce his now famous 45-piece work Bunk 1972.
Robert Rauschenberg's Booster 1967 is in the tradition of a self-portrait, but in this case it is literally a portrait of the inner self: a life-size X-ray of Rauschenberg, naked but for his hob-nail boots that has been transferred to a lithographic stone.
Mark Henshaw , Curator, International, Prints, Drawings and Illustrated Books says, 'Printed light documents, in part, the fertile intersection between photography in its pre-digital form and the modern print. Here is photorealism and social realism, the erotic and the macabre, still lifes and landscapes. There are personal histories and cultural histories. This exhibition goes some way to show how a number of 20th- century artists have used photography to celebrate, subvert and transform, photography's image-making possibilities. And, with the dawning of the digital age, there is more, undoubtedly, to come.'

The buckles jingle when Iwalk
"These boots are super comfy and cute - I love them! The only drawback is that the stacked buckles often hit each other and jingle when I walk. It's pretty quiet and not too noticeable, but it's the type of thing that might drive some people nuts."

"This boot is so cute. It runs true to size and it looks great with skinny jeans. I wear size 7 shoes and I have no problem to put my feet in the shoes."

Cute, but...
"the shoe didn't fit around my ankle. Given I have somewhat wide feet. I even got a size bigger than I would normally wear. It took me forever to put it on! It took over 10 minutes to get it on with help. Disappointed because the shoe is so cute!"

|In response to Re: pressure reducing valve replacement
: I have very poor water pressure in a 7 year old residential home that I just purchased in suburban Chicago.
: Therte is a pressure reducing valve after the water meter, which according to my local Village water department, may be the culprit, since their records show that there is 105 # pressure in the main (which would have necessitated the valve in the first place.)
: The water department thought that the builders in the area used aither Watts, Febco or Mueller valves. I can read "Parts No. 5CM2" on the brass valve and "Model 5M2" on the metal label, but can decern the manufacturer. The piping seems to be 1" in and 3/4" out of the valve
: I want to replace it with the exact right model, to eliminate plumbing re-work.
: Anybody know what make it is?
: Bruce White
First try opening the pressure reducing valve a little to see if it increases your pressure. Hard water deposits may have bonded to the pressure reducing valve while water was standing still, and caused it to restrict the water flow. If that doesn't work, turn off the water at the meter, remove the union holding the PRV and take it out and look inside it with a strong flashlight. Soak the entire valve in vinegar for a few hours and examine it again. Is the opening larger now? Clean it up with a wire brush and you'll read the manufacturer's name at the discharge side bottom. Put it back in and see if your pressure is better. Wheaton Ill used to get their water from some wells that had calcium deposits and all of Dupage County used Fox River water (back in the days when the chicago river was so polluted that it caught fire from all the petroleum products dumped on it)

: : I'm sure this question has been asked many times before, but what is the best way to seal a toilet with a recessed flange? My flange is approximately 1/4" below the top of the cermaic tile. Wax ring(s)or one of the wax-free gasket made by Fluidmaster? HELP PLEASE!
