From St. Norbert College, March 21, 2007
by Mike Counter, firstname.lastname@example.com, (920) 403-3089
The ACS Relay for Life of De Pere is a unique celebration of life honoring those whose lives have been touched by cancer. Teams of 8-15 people take turns walking or running around a track all day long. Team members camp out on the surrounding grounds for the duration of the event to enjoy the music, food, fun, entertainment and activities while building camaraderie with fellow teammates and participants. Money is raised through team commitment fees and an individual goal of $100 in donations secured from family, friends, companies or corporations.
This Relay for Life received special recognition in 2003 and 2004, winning the Per Capita College Fundraising Award in the country. St. Norbert College has been selected to participate in the national Colleges Against Cancer Campus program, which is a program designed to help eliminate cancer by initiating and supporting the programs of the ACS. This program is administered by college students from across the country and is supported by your local ACS.
Highlights of the event include a Survivors Lap, a victory lap to celebrate their courageous battle and a Balluminaria Ceremony that pays tribute to those affected by cancer.

Sun Unified Storage Helps Elanders Reduce Costs and Increase Performance
By chhandomay on Oct 23, 2009
Elanders is a global publishing company based in Gothenburg, Sweden that packages and distributes information in a variety of formats to include manuals, brochures, and magazines, as well as online content and multimedia for international brands such as IKEA, Nokia, and Volvo. Elanders archives these documents and images on its systems at its main office, and at two remote sites for up to ten years following publication. Until recently, Elanders used technology from EMC for day-to-day storage, archiving, and back up, but this technology was quickly approaching the end of its lifecycle.
Sun Customer Elanders
needed to decide between
upgrading the existing system or selecting a new approach. In
addition to adding storage capacity, Elanders was also looking to
improve performance, reduce the burden of administration, and cut
overall costs. Elanders selected a system provided by Sun partner
Konsulthuset MMI, because of the highly scalable solution it proposed
along with the support provided by Sun.
Konsulthuset MMI set Elanders up with the new open-technology based Sun Storage 7410 Unified Storage System, because of its cost-efficient industry standard components as well as a robust software stack built from OpenSolaris TM and running Solaris ZFS. Elanders deployed a 66TB Sun Storage 7410 Unified Storage System at the Gothenburg datacenter, with additional systems at the two remote offices, handling 23 TB each. The new solution can easily be scaled to accommodate up to 576 TB of information, and is able to quickly and easily add capacity in increments.
With its new solution in place, Elanders is not only free of licensing fees for protocols and data services, but is also reducing costs by lowering power consumption and cooling requirements, consuming up to 500% less power than with its previous solution. Magnus Befwe, Manager of IT Operations and Infrastructure at Elanders said: "We were really impressed by the commitment of Sun and Konsulthuset MMI. The technology that they recommended offers us advantages on so many levels, from greater simplicity and reduced energy consumption to reducing the costs associated with storage data services licensing."

List of issues to fix in blog for 2.0. See http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Blog_2.0 for a spec

oh, where is the proposal that describes needed internal changes?
I have quickly discovered multiple issues in file hacdling, db storage, upgrade code, etc...
going to post here the details of my findings...
Just attached a patch with the blog almost completed. Please apply and give feedback.
Updated patch. Full one-way synchronisation of external blogs now implemented
Just one comment about using the class SimplePie_File - you should be able to use moodle_simplepie_file instead. This uses the inbuilt filelib curl class (so respects proxies etc).
1/ bloglevelupgrade.php must not modify $USER->id like this, it can not work because it breaks all caching and assumptions in accesslib.php, you might also end up logged in as somebody else [CRITICAL]
2/ cron.php - it might be better to use record sets in oder limit memory use [MINOR]
3/ block_blog_menu.php - I do not like the use of $PAGE->url->param('modid') at all, passing params around using page object looks like a sloppy hack; there is another use of this hack in adminlib for section parameter, this looks wrong too, I really hope this will not spread all over moodle codebase, please use something else [MAJOR]
4/ admin/settings/top.php - please do not pollute top with one time upgrade hacks [MAJOR]
5/ blog/lib.php - why discard coding exceptions in blog_get_headers()? this looks like a wrong coding style [CRITICAL]
6/ block_blog_recent.php can be used on any page, right? (missing applicable_formats()?) If yes it does not make much sense to use blog_get_headers() which is designed to work on blog/index.php [MAJOR]
7/ 'moodle/blog:search' is not personal risk, if yes it should not be default for guest role [MINOR]
8/ lang/en_utf8/admin.php bloglevelupgradebody has some funny Windows line endings [MINOR]
9/ string['modulename'] = 'Blog'; in blog.php looks strange
10/ external_blogs.php looks like a joke - XSRF and missing access control, once you have 'moodle/blog:manageexternal' you can delete ANY external blog (given to all students by default), with XSRF you can trick any student to delta any external blog
11/ when deleting entry only 'blog_attachment' area is purged, but not 'blog_post', this applies
12/ I personally do not like the blog_entry class because it is mixing all levels of code (db access, accesscontrol, forms processing, html printing, etc.) - I do not think that any functions there are usable in external API, we need to separate low level code
Petr, thanks for your review. Here are the items in your list I have fixed:
1/ I had to modify the forum_add_discussion() function, which used $USER exclusively. I just added $userid as last optional param
4/ Removed
5/ Fixed
6/ Added applicable_formats(). blog_get_headers() works on any page, it's mainly designed to generate appropriate links to blog/index.php
7/ Removed risk
8/ Couldn't see that, did a dos2unix on the file but still couldn't detect any differences
10/ Added proper access control and check on $USER->id
11/ Fixed

Renee Zellweger Lists Your All-American Dream Home
Bridget Jones is selling her pile of rubble in Connecticut for $1.5 million. I kid! This home is beautiful and the most sensible thing for us to do is to pool our money together and buy this place. Would you get a look at that pool!
The four bedroom, 3.5 bath home measures in at 4,287 square-feet and is located in Windham County, one of the swankier counties of Connecticut. Built in 1770, the home has obviously since been renovated, but the original brick fireplace and bread oven were preserved and still function. There is a guest cottage, something called a "recreation barn," and a helicopter landing area.
It's like Walden Pond up in here. Or like the pastoral backdrop of a Henry James novel. Does it come with soft skinned, red cheeked milk maids holding baby lambs? I bet a person could really do some thinking at this place. Maybe finish their novel or two. Do you hear that whimpering? It's Ralph Lauren having a wet dream about this very home. Charming!

How to choose a BMX chain tensioner
BMX Chain Tensioner Buyer's Guide
Now that most BMX bikes tend to have much shorter dropout slots, chain tensioners aren't nearly as important now as they were a few years ago. However, anyone that has had a constantly loose chain likely cured the issue with one of these wonderful little devices.
At the basic level, there is just one type of tensioner and it uses a fairly simple design. It's a steel washer (about the same outside diameter as the average axle peg) with a hole in the center (the same size as your axle), an end cap that cups the back of your frame dropout, and a threaded piece attaching the two for adjustment. There are a few that are small washers with a raised area to fill the gap between your axle and the inside of the dropout, but those are not as common.
To figure out which size to get is as simple as knowing which size axle you have. For example, if you have a 14mm axle, get a 14mm tensioner.
Tensioners are made of either steel or aluminum, and one isn't going to function better or worse than the other. The only real consideration when deciding which will be best for you would be whether or not you'll be using them with pegs. Without a peg between the tensioner and the axle nut, every time you tighten the axle nut it will dig into the material a little bit. The axle nut will chew its way through aluminum easier than it will through steel.
How Much To Spend
Because it is common to only use one on the right side of your bike, some are sold individually and start at about $9. If you're buying a pair, they can go up to as much as $30.
What To Look For
Most riders choose to run their wheel either all the way forward in the dropout (referred to as "slammed") or as close as they can get to that which will eliminate the need for a chain tensioner. You can achieve the same thing by removing chain links and/or using a half-link. If your dropout slots are long enough to accommodate a tensioner and you want to run your wheel a little farther back without worrying about your chain loosening, then start with a single tensioner on the right side. If you are still having problems with your wheel moving forward, then opt for a pair of tensioners.
Product Reviews
Before buying, be sure to do your research and read product reviews. Reviews are a great way to find out specifics about a particular model, user impressions, and things to watch out for. After you've purchased a product and had enough time to thoroughly test it, we encourage you to leave a review for other people to see when they are researching bikes and parts on the web.
We hope you've found this information to be helpful. If you have a question that isn't answered in this guide, our BMX forums are a great place to get advice from knowledgeable riders. Your local bike shop is also a great resource.

Chapter 40
The king of Babylon makes Gedaliah governor over the remnant left in Judah—Jeremiah is freed and dwells among them.
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and
2 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, The Lord thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place.
3 Now the Lord hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because ye have
4 And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go.
5 Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to
6 Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.
7 ¶Now when all the captains of the forces which were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and children, and of the
8 Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and
9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
10 As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah to serve the Chaldeans, which will come unto us: but ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken.
11 Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;
12 Even all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much.
13 ¶Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the
14 And said unto him, Dost thou certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.
15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: wherefore should he slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?
16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael.

UPDATE December 20, 2011—Seattle has passed a ban on plastic bags. The ordinance takes effect July 1 and includes a 5-cent tax on paper grocery bags.
By Debra Atlas
In California alone, consumers use upwards of 19 million plastic bags per year, which require approximately 8 million barrels of oil to produce. What's more, about 90 percent of the bags used in the United States never get recycled. Globally, of the 500 billion of the flimsy, single-use bags we go through, many end up either in landfills or as wind-blown or ocean gyre litter that are consumed by wildlife and marine life, resulting in many agonizingly painful deaths. For many environmentalists and concerned consumers, plastic bags represent public enemy number one.
Across the globe, cities, counties, and countries are grappling with this environmental disaster. Countries that have banned their use include Italy, Thailand, Bangladesh, Israel, and Rwanda, as well as a number of cities in India, Australia, and Canada.
Here in the United States, numerous cities and towns have banned the use of single-use plastic bags. Twelve cities in California alone have done so, including San Francisco, Malibu, Palo Alto, San Jose, Long Beach, and Calabasas. Two other California municipalities, Manhattan Beach and Oakland, also banned them but rescinded the ban due to lawsuits. Manhattan Beach recently won its lawsuit, however, so the ban may soon be back in effect. Bans also are in place in Westport, Connecticut; Aspen, Colorado; Brownsville, Texas; and in both Kauai and Maui, Hawaii. And at least 30 towns in western Alaska have banned the bags.
Many cities have given retailers mandates to cease distributing plastic bags. These primarily affect businesses of a certain size rather than an across-the-board regulation.
A few cities across the country have chosen or are considering other steps to address the use of plastic bags.
Washington, DC, taxes consumers 5 cents per plastic bag, and Virginia is considering doing the same. Madison, Wisconsin, has a mandatory plastic bag recycling law. In New Jersey, a bill was recently introduced that would place a 10-cent fee on every carryout plastic or paper bag at convenience stores, drug stores, supermarkets, or retail stores larger than 1,000 square feet, beginning in 2013. The proposed bill also would not, after the year 2015, let stores hand out bags that are not compostable.
Some retailers also voluntarily have agreed to stop giving plastic bags out to customers.
In 2008, six retailers in Austin, Texas, agreed to a trial ban. H-E-B, Randalls, Walmart, Target, Walgreens, and Whole Foods agreed to try to reduce the amount of plastic bags they sent to landfills by 50 percent. Of these, Whole Foods followed through, fully discontinuing the practice of handing them out at checkout stands.
In a 2009 summary, the Texas Retailer's Association (TRA) called this voluntary ban a success. Its data showed that over the year-and-a-half, the retailers sold 907,000 reusable bags, increased the plastic bag poundage they recycled by 74 percent, and bought 20 percent fewer pounds of plastic bags. Yet since then, the TRA has been pushing back to keep plastic bags in use.
Nationally, the only retail chains with a "no plastic bag" policy are Whole Foods and, surprisingly, Target. Whole Foods gives customers a 5-cent credit for each reusable bag brought in. Although Target has not officially banned plastic bag use, the clerks at Target will give you the 5-cent credit if customers remind them.
Congress also briefly engaged the issue. Bills were introduced over the past three years to tax and/or ban the use of plastic bags. But these bills have languished in committees, meeting a quiet but certain death. It seems that another recognized environmental threat has been trumped by hard lobbying. Time will tell whether plastic bags are truly on their way out of fashionable use.

Educator Resources
The Immigration History Research Center (IHRC) provides resources for educators who teach about issues related to immigration in Minnesota and globally. These resources are designed to help students improve their critical thinking and research skills within the complex topics of immigration.
Flexible, interdisciplinary, and discussion-based—IHRC's educator resources are a useful collection of lesson plans and toolkits for instructors and teachers to facilitate a better understanding of immigration history. These resources are designed for a wide variety of educational settings, including high school and college classrooms, adult English Language Learner (ELL) classrooms, and discussions taking place in the community.
The Global Race, Ethnicity, and Migration (Global REM) Modules allow educators to browse over 20 topics organized by region, theme, and age level. These lesson plans are adaptable to different classroom settings and include thought-provoking questions and suggested readings to further dialogue about important issues in immigration history.
The Immigrant Stories curriculum help educators train others to make digital stories (which may be donated to the IHRC) and to use the Immigrant Stories archive in their teaching. To date, the IHRC has archived more than 200 digital stories from over 45 different ethnic communities and made these stories publicly accessible for researchers, students, and the public. The IHRC also features select Immigrant stories in online exhibits, such as our April 2015 exhibit, Immigrant Stories: 40 Years Of Southeast Asian Stories, which features 12 Immigrant Stories by Vietnamese, Hmong, Lao, and Cambodian Minnesotans who migrated to the United States in the years after 1975.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I was never a huge Diablo fan - I enjoyed it to a certain degree, but not my favorite type of game.
Having said that, I've been looking at this one, and I have to admit it looks pretty good. I'll have to give it a shot.
Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
I don't have any MMOs currently I can say what I'm about to say about PoE .
I like this game...
"Love can be innocent and can be sweet, but sometimes about as nice as rotting meat."
PoE: Adavel LVL.48(C.A2) Xipton LVL.51(C.A3) <>D3 5x60(P1-15)<>T2 Xip=88 ng++
Completely addicted to this game and love the challenge. Absolutely love the skill, loot, and progression system. This game brought me back to PC and RPGS online. Can't believe it is free or that it runs on my laptop so well. Will buy a PC again now. A+++
I am having lots of fun with this game, best f2p i have played by far. I would agree with other posters about this sites scoring of PoE, this game is alot better than the score given.
Nice to see a none p2w cash shop too, this is how a cash shop should be. I had no problem at all with opening my wallet and purchasing ingame fluff items, this i would do on any f2p game that went the no p2w route.
Amazed innovation was called out on... it changes quite a lot considering its genre. I mean a good example would be to look at GW2, it does just as much innovation as PoE ends up doing giving things a new sugar coating and making it its own, yet that game somehow gets hailed for innovation yet PoE is not 'innovating'? What? As far as I seen, theres no real games that go about providing the ability to change skills in the way PoE does it. It has the map system like Torchlight and the traditional ARPG elements underworking it but hell thats exactly what GW2 does. If PoE isn't doing some form of innovation, then sadly I don't think there has really been an innovative game in years now.
None the less, enjoyable game, best mechanics in an ARPG I'd say ever. Not perfect but by far an amazing experience. Sure it doesn't have diablo 3 polish, but its a lot better in other areas
I think this one of the most enjoyable games of my lifetime. It may not be perfect but its not made for me.
I would prefer an over the sholder type camera, but thats not the style of this game now is it?
This is one of those games I will put over 1000 hours into. I can only put maybe 8-12 games in that category in my life.
Hero Evermore
Guild Master of Dragonspine since 1982.
Playing Path of Exile and deeply in love with it.
It's an okay game if you choose your skills wisely. The game can get tiring very quickly even in Hardcore. I chose Marauder and was forced to use a Shield because Energy Shield and Evasion slowly becomes useless when levels increase. Shield block also quickly diminishes and you're left with pure Armor protection for that much needed damage reduction.
Elemental resistances are easily obtainable, but Chaos resistance is quite rare. Life Regeneration won't really help much in combat unless you run away. Life on Hit will be your main life saver to keep your health up. Mana gains are a joke for Marauder. I can't believe how many times they expect us to drink from Flasks. Leveling up I found myself using normal attacks quite often. Didn't amuse me at all.
Finding items was decent. Legendary items were pointless. Out of the 3 or 4 I found my Marauder didn't have any use for. Most of the mods used came from Rares. Waiting for Alchemy gems just to create Rare items really drived my patience. Magic items were good to start out with, but left my character feeling unwanted. Trying to find Waypoints was also a time peeve. Instances or maps reset after a certain time. If you Town Portal and take too long the TP disappears.
Originally posted by Vhaln
Personally, I can't really knock it for being to similar to other ARPGs, when it's the best in the entire genre. Even better than Diablo 2, IMHO. Especially if potential is taken into account. I'm looking forward to seeing where they go with it.
That is the most reasonable post I have seen on this thread. Ima going to go make an account right now!
Amazing f2p game.
I'm just shocked by the amount of content items/passives/combinations it offers.

Unison receives all-electric tube bender order from BAE Systems
Unison, Scarborough, U.K., has received an order from BAE Systems Surface Ships for a large tube bending machine to support ongoing projects, including the construction of the Royal Navy's Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers.
Capable of handling tube and pipe diameters up to 6.89 in., the machine is expected to be the largest all-electric tube bender ever built, according to the manufacturer. The servomotor-powered bender will enable BAE Systems to fabricate shaped tube parts in the highly customized shipbuilding production environment, where many component parts are fabricated in very small batches, and often in quantities of just one.

xkcd.comRandall Munroe
IRC: #xkcd on irc.foonetic.net
Wikipedia article: xkcd
Translations (unofficial):
Spanish, Russian, German.
xkcd.com updates without fail every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Who are you?
I'm just this guy, you know? I'm a CNU graduate with a degree in physics. Before starting xkcd, I worked on robots at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia. As of June 2007 I live in Massachusetts. In my spare time I climb things, open strange doors, and go to goth clubs dressed as a frat guy so I can stand around and look terribly uncomfortable. At frat parties I do the same thing, but the other way around.
What else do you do?
Occasionally produce a few extra comics such as a pair of comics for IBM's A Smarter Planet initiative (also archived here as they are released).
Who else are you?
Server maintenance and most of the coding for these sites is done by my friend davean, who tries hard to remain invisible but can be reached at email@example.com. Designer Christina Gleason also helps with posters, books, and various side projects.
What does XKCD stand for?
It's not actually an acronym. It's just a word with no phonetic pronunciation -- a treasured and carefully-guarded point in the space of four-character strings.
Where did all this start?
I was going through old math/sketching graph paper notebooks and didn't want to lose some of the work in them, so I started scanning pages. I took the more comic-y ones and put them up on a server I was testing out, and got a bunch of readers when BoingBoing linked to me. I started drawing more seriously, gained a lot more readers, started selling t-shirts on the site, and am currently shipping t-shirts and drawing this comic full-time. It's immensely fun and I really appreciate y'all's support.
Why can't I read the whole comic mouseover text in Firefox?
They can be read with extensions like Long Titles, or by right-clicking on the images and going to 'properties', then clicking and dragging to read the whole thing. This is a bug in Firefox, Mozilla Bug #45375. It has been outstanding for many years now.
Can we print xkcd in our magazine/newspaper/other publication?
If it's a not-for-profit publication, you need no permission -- just print them with attribution to xkcd.com. If it's a for-profit operation, I will probably give you permission if you email me to let me know. You can post xkcd in your blog (whether ad-supported or not) with no need to get my permission.
How can I reach you?
I frequently lurk on irc.foonetic.net as 'Randall' -- if you leave a message for me there I will probably get it. If you have a general question about xkcd, you may also want to try the fora.
How can I find the date a comic was posted?
The posting date is in the mouseover text on the archive page.
Is there an interface for automated systems to access comics and metadata?
Yes. You can get comics through the JSON interface, at URLs like http://xkcd.com/info.0.json (current comic) and http://xkcd.com/614/info.0.json (comic #614).
Is xkcd translated?
Translating humor is often difficult between groups that speak the same language, let alone totally different cultures. So it's inherently a hard problem. However, a reader does translate xkcd strips into Spanish, which can be found at es.xkcd.com.
How do I write "xkcd"? There's nothing in Strunk and White about this.
For those of us pedantic enough to want a rule, here it is: The preferred form is "xkcd", all lower-case. In formal contexts where a lowercase word shouldn't start a sentence, "XKCD" is an okay alternative. "Xkcd" is frowned upon.
Which sorting algorithms should I use? They taught me so many.
This is tricky. Most of what they teach you in school is just as an example of how to think about algorithms; 99% of the time you shouldn't worry about optimizing your sorts. Just learn to implement Quicksort (which is very good) and use that without fretting about it too much. People overfocus on efficiency over clarity and simplicity. And most of the time the environment you're coding in will have an efficient sort function built-in anyway.
What is your favorite astronomical entity?
The Pleiades.

Poverty maps, spatial descriptions of the distribution of poverty in any given country, are most useful to policy makers and researchers when they represent small geographic units, such as cities, towns, or villages.
Unfortunately, almost all household surveys are too small to be representative at such levels of disaggregation, and most census data do not contain the required information to calculate poverty.Researchers in the Development Research Group, Poverty and Inequality Team (DECRG-PI) have developed a methodology to estimate welfare indicators for small areas and have piloted it with success in many countries, including Brazil, China, Ecuador, India, Kenya, Madagascar, Morocco, Nicaragua and South Africa.
The team provides technical assistance, capacity building, and various free software tools to statistical institutes in developing countries upon demand, conditional upon availability of suitable data (a recent census and an LSMS-type household survey).
In addition, the team maintains a "how-to manual" for poverty mapping, a platform-independent software package entitled PovMap, and provides training courses aimed at staff from statistical institutes and researchers from developing countries. Training, along with user-friendly tools and technical assistance ensures that poverty maps are accessible for a wider range of countries.
Core TeamRoy van de Weide Email: email@example.com
Featured ResourceDownload bookOrder bookThis 2007 volume promotes the effective use of Small Area Estimation poverty maps in policy making. It presents the range of policies and interventions which have been informed by poverty maps, focusing on the political economy of poverty maps and the key elements to their effective use by policy makers.

Not comfortable!
"I should have listened to another reviewer here who said this was a hard/stiff shoe. I rec'd these today and was very upset when I struggled to get my feet in these shoes. The heel itself is comfortable but the toe box REALLY narrows and my last tow struggled to stay in. Mind you I have narrow feet. I can't imagine trying to walk in these all day. I considered getting a size up but the shoe itself is just too stiff. Returning for something else."

Fun and Functional
"I absolutely LOVE this shoe! It is so functional - I wear it to work and I get so many compliments, and I also wear them out with my girlfriends and I get rave reviews with jeans, tshirt and a great blazer. The heel is the perfect height and has enough of a chunk that it's sturdy but still cute and trendy. I love these shoes so much that I got them in the two colors that are featured. If these shoes came in more colors - I would get them as well! Hmmm, I'm thinking navy!"

Beautiful Heels
"These shoes are to die for!The t-strap and buckle are a cute addition to the beautiful navy blue hue of the suede.The juxtaposition of patent leather and suede makes these shoes interesting to nearly everyone I run into. (I always get complimented on them.)It might just be me having narrow feet, but these shoes fit perfectly. I normally wear a 6.5 and these are spot on in sizing.I would recommend these shoes if you are looking for something cute or stylish and also want to be comfortable."

Osama Bin Laden Returns to His Terror-Plotting Roots
You guys caught Osama Bin Laden's new anti-global warming tape, right? But before we think Bin Laden has transformed completely into the Islamist Al Gore, consider the news that OBL is suspected of planning commando-style attacks on American targets.
The AP reports that a recently-thwarted plan to attack European and American cities with teams of gunman originated at the highest level of al-Qaida, including Osama bin Laden. Meanwhile, OBL's fatwas are being used by prosecutors in the case of Ahmed Ghailani, who's been charged with helping blow up U.S. embassies on Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. Expect fans of OBL's early, "unplugged" stuff to fill the Manhattan courtroom where Ghailani's being tried.
Bin Laden's back, baby! Now if only U.S. intelligence could figure out where the next stop in his world tour was going to be.

Don't you wish your favorite team could afford just about everything it wanted?
This year, at least, it can, and then some.
USA TODAY Sports Weekly's Team 2012 — the best team a reasonable amount of money can buy — has both most valuable players, both home run champions and a Cy Young Award winner. It has a rookie of the year — one of historic proportions, at that.
And it has a payroll lower than five of the six teams that finished last in their divisions last season.
This is our annual exercise of selecting not an all-star team but rather a realistic 25-man roster: a No. 1 starter, No. 2 starter, No. 3 starter, etc., a bullpen with each role covered, a starting lineup and a complete bench.
We also pick a manager, hitting coach and pitching coach.
Every year, we cap our team's salaries at the major league median, the number halfway between the 15th- and 16th-highest payrolls in the majors.
That figure was $85,753,488, down a million from a year ago, when we were faced with the usual difficult decisions of skipping a few well-qualified and well-paid stars to stay under our cap.
Not this time. We have Miguel Cabrera and his $21 million salary, plus Buster Posey, the two 2012 MVPs. We have American League Cy Young Award winner David Price. And we probably could have afforded National League winner R.A. Dickey if we wanted to bend the rules and take two No. 1 starters.
Amazingly, we assembled our team with plenty of room to spare, enough in fact to take on a key midseason addition were this team playing for real.
The total team payroll: $74,846,550, a figure that would have ranked 24th in the majors last season. Not bad, considering our Team 2011 cost $86.2 million.
That rookie of the year, of course, is Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout, earning the wonderful (for our purposes) major league minimum salary of $480,000. That's exactly what the Miami Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton, our right fielder, made.
And that's how an affordable team is assembled — young stars graduating to the majors to fill in around established big earners.
In the end, we have a powerful offensive team — 42-homer man Edwin Encarnacion would bat eighth in our lineup — and a young and stingy pitching staff with power arms.
Read on to see how we settled on our team.
Catcher: Buster Posey, San Francisco Giants
Buster's back. He was our 2010 choice and, much like the Giants, we missed him here when he was knocked out of most of the previous season. Posey remains one of the better bargains available, with his MVP-level production going up much more quickly than his salary — for now, at least. He's eligible for arbitration this year, and the Giants are open to a long-term deal. Either way, the price will rise significantly.
Last year: Alex Avila, Detroit Tigers
First base: Joey Votto, Cincinnati Reds
His salary keeps climbing, but he finds a way to stay on our team. This is Votto's third consecutive selection, though he filled a less-expensive need the last two seasons to equally qualified Miguel Cabrera's $20 million salary. Votto's salary has climbed from $525,000 that first year to $7.4 million in 2011 and now $9.5 million. With Cabrera now at third and Votto posting career bests in average, on-base-plus-slugging percentag (OPS) and a National League-leading .474 on-base percentage, he was a solid choice.
Last year: Votto
Second base: Robinson Cano, New YorkYankees
The most prolific offensive force at his position, Cano is back in our lineup after a year away, when he was bumped aside in a salary squeeze because the Boston Red Sox's Dustin Pedroia was making a little more than half of Cano's $10 million. Cano was up to $14 million in 2012, but he's one of several well-paid stars we were able to keep thanks to spectacular seasons by young players at other positions. He started slowly but ended up with a career-high 33 homers, a Silver Slugger Award, a Gold Glove Award and fourth in the American League MVP voting.
Last year: Pedroia
Shortstop: Ian Desmond, Washington Nationals
It was the perfect time for the 27-year-old to have his breakout season. A groin injury sidelined the Colorado Rockies' Troy Tulowitzki, the two-time incumbent, for three-quarters of the season just as Desmond was posting arguably the best all-around performance on the 98-win Nationals. His 25 homers and a vastly improved defensive game produced 5.4 wins above replacement (WAR), the best among Nationals hitters and among full-time shortstops.
Last year: Tulowitzki
Third base: Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers
Assembling this team often means sacrificing a star or two to meet payroll requirements. We've had to do that for the last two years at first with Cabrera. Despite his salary creeping up another million to $21 million, we found a way in the AL MVP's first season at third for the Tigers. Other less expensive but strong candidates were available, but it would have been a shame not to be able to give the Triple Crown winner his due.
Last year: Evan Longoria, Tampa Bay Rays
Left field: Ryan Braun, Milwaukee Brewers
Think what you will about the controversy surrounding Braun's dance with the drug testing program after his MVP season in 2011. But he was every bit as good statistically in 2012, Milwaukee's also-ran status probably costing him consideration for a repeat award. Still, he was the NL home run champ with 41, led the league in OPS for a second consecutive year and posted his fifth consecutive 100-plus RBI year.
Last year: Braun
Center field: Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels
No matter the outcome of the AL MVP race, nobody is more valuable to our purposes. We knew the rookie sensation was going to make our team — not only make it as in being selected for the starting lineup, but also make it better by providing a salary that would help avoid some difficult choices. He's our leadoff hitter, our best baserunner and our best defender.
Last year: Matt Kemp, Los Angeles Dodgers
Right field: Giancarlo Stanton, Miami Marlins
The second of our two minimum-salary bargains, Stanton not only is the most fearsome slugger in our lineup, but his paycheck also helps us surround him with other first-choice stars. The 2012 NL slugging percentage leader has a homer every 14.2 at-bats in his three major league seasons, a better ratio than Albert Pujols. And Stanton turned 23 in November.
Last year: Jose Bautista, Toronto Blue Jays
Designated hitter: Edwin Encarnacion, Toronto Blue Jays
His 42-homer, 110-RBI explosion was remarkable enough, but doing it without the lineup protection of two-time homer champ Jose Bautista for much of the second half of the season underscored the emergence of a middle-of-the-order force. At $3.5 million, he still is cost-effective at a position that often is expensive.
Last year: David Ortiz, Red Sox
No. 1 starter: David Price, Tampa Bay Rays
This is one of the few places where money became a factor in our choice. But Price's $4.35 million salary not only was an easy tiebreaker with, for instance, Justin Verlander's $20.1 million, but it left our team with useful salary space to make a significant addition during the season. That's another piece of reality we should deal with to make this as real as possible.
It's not as if Price was a compromise. He's the American League Cy Young Award winner. The Rays' trade of James Shields shows they think Price is ready to be a No.1 starter.
Last year: Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers
No. 2 starter: Chris Sale, Chicago White Sox
Our first big pitching bargain, Sale made the conversion from reliever to starter and held up well for 192 innings, a 270% increase over his previous professional high. His consistency shot him up the White Sox pecking order into the No.2 slot behind Jake Peavy. Sale, 23, was picked for the All-Star Game and finished in the AL top five in victories, earned-run average and WHIP.
Last year: Cliff Lee, Philadelphia Phillies
No. 3 starter: Jordan Zimmermann, Washington Nationals
To many, he was the poster boy for why the Nationals were being careful with Stephen Strasburg. To opposing hitters, Zimmermann's first unrestricted season after Tommy John elbow surgery was hard to take. Interestingly, once Zimmermann passed the 161 innings the team had restricted him to in 2011, his 2012 performance slipped — a 4.41 ERA over his final six games. Yet he still finished at 2.94 for the season, underscoring how dominant he had been through the middle of the season.
Last year: Cole Hamels, Phillies
No. 4 starter: Ryan Vogelsong, San Francisco Giants
The roller coaster fortunes of some of the San Francisco starters make it difficult to sort out the rotation order at various points. But coming in, only Barry Zito had lower expectations and Vogelsong was content to slide in behind younger guns Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum and Madison Bumgarner.
Vogelsong's consistency — he reached the seventh inning in 18 of his first 21 starts — was crucial, and only Cain topped his 3.37 ERA.
Last year: Matt Harrison, Texas Rangers
No. 5 starter: Ross Detwiler, Nationals
The depth of Washington's NL-best rotation was the biggest strength of the team that led the majors with 98 victories. Except for a brief bullpen spell in early June, Detwiler filled the fifth spot until everyone moved up a notch when Strasburg was shut down. His 3.40 ERA and 8.16 hits per nine innings would have ranked first or second on 11 other NL starting staffs.
Last year: Alexi Ogando, Texas Rangers
Closer: Craig Kimbrel, Atlanta Braves
His ridiculous statistics and friendly salary continue to make this an easy choice. Kimbrel repeats as our closer after his second consecutive NL saves title. His saves totals fell by four, but every other stat improved to off-the-charts status, especially his 3.9 hits and 16.7 strikeouts per nine innings. The latter number is a major league record for relievers.
Last year: Kimbrel
Setup man: David Hernandez, Arizona Diamondbacks
He doesn't cost much more than the minimum salary and improved all his ratios — hits, strikeouts and walks per nine innings, plus walk/strikeouts — and his 12.9 strikeouts per nine last season were the best in the majors for a non-closer who pitched at least 60 innings.
Last year: David Robertson, New York Yankees
Right-handed reliever: Kelvin Herrera, Kansas City Royals
Teammate Greg Holland graduated from this role on our 2011 team to Royals closer. Herrera, another of the hard-throwing but often overlooked K.C. relievers, could do the same soon. He already has mastered the command to have the best strikeout/walk and ground-ball/fly-ball ratios on the staff and didn't allow a home run after April24, a span of 69 appearances.
Last year: Holland, Royals
Left-handed reliever: Jake McGee, Rays
McGee is steadily evolving into the potential closer the Rays thought they had when he first arrived as a bullpen regular in 2011. He made a quantum leap into a key role last season, lowering his ERA from 4.50 the previous year to 1.95. He cut his walk rate by more than half and his hit rate by nearly half.
Last year: Sean Marshall, Chicago Cubs
Left-handed specialist: Eric O'Flaherty, Braves
O'Flaherty's 1.73 ERA was topped only by Kimbrel and Aroldis Chapman among relievers with at least 50 innings.
Yet his 2012 season was a drop-off from the 0.98 ERA of the previous year. Manager Fredi Gonzalez kept his promise of reducing O'Flaherty's workload — from 78 to 64 games — and the lefty held left-handed hitters to a .113 average.
Last year: Joe Paterson, Diamondbacks
Long reliever-spot starter: Kris Medlen, Braves
The Braves kept his innings down by having him relieve until the last day of July.
When the opportunity came because of injury, Medlen turned into arguably the league's best pitcher over the final two months. He was 9-0 with a 0.97 ERA in 12 starts and didn't allow an earned run in five of them.
Last year: Alfredo Aceves, Boston Red Sox
Catcher: John Jaso, Seattle Mariners
With a workhorse such as Buster Posey as our starter, we're going with offense for our backup. And it's good to have a lefty alternative for when right-handed Posey needs a day off.
Jaso caught as many as 96 games in a season while with the Tampa Bay Rays, so he's capable of filling in. But he had his best season in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging in 2012 while seeing spot duty behind the plate for the Mariners and DHing the rest of the time.
Last year: Mike Napoli, Texas Rangers
Super-utility player: Matt Carpenter, St. Louis Cardinals
The rookie has the pop at the plate that fits a corner infielder or corner outfielder. He played all four of those positions last season and even handled second base when asked. He's a nice left-handed option off the bench, especially considering the primary pinch-hitter on our roster, the Atlanta Braves' Reed Johnson, is right-handed. Carpenter hit .258 as a pinch-hitter and drove in 11 runs in 31 at-bats in that role. He hit .265 against lefties, including five of his six homers.
Last year: Emilio Bonifacio, Miami Marlins
Infielder: Luis Cruz, Los Angeles Dodgers
He had played in five other organizations plus the Mexican League and had 169 major league plate appearances when he became the fallback option in an infield scramble that never really ended for the Dodgers. He was one of nine players used at third base, one of eight at second and one of seven at shortstop — and none topped his .297 batting average. He'll get a shot at the starting third-base job, which would be an even bigger surprise on a team that's emptying the bank vault to fill its 2013 roster.
Last year: Daniel Murphy, New York Mets
Outfielder: Andy Dirks, Detroit Tigers
One of the tougher calls on the roster is defining who really is a bench guy. Dirks and Miami's Justin Ruggiano were the top candidates, but by season's end Ruggiano had played the most games in center field among the Marlins while Dirks fell just short of being the Tigers' most-used left fielder.
Both are capable of handling all three outfield positions, a necessity. Dirks hit .322 as he improved in all offensive categories in his second season as part of ever-changing corner-outfield alignments.
Last year: Allen Craig, Cardinals
Pinch-hitter: Reed Johnson, Chicago Cubs, Atlanta Braves
He saw time at all the outfield spots, part of the versatility that enticed the Braves to acquire him from the Cubs in July. But his ability to come off the bench was crucial.
Johnson's 43 pinch-hit at-bats in 2012 are a career high, and he responded with pinch-hitting career bests across the board: .417 batting average, .457 on-base percentage, .535 slugging and .991 OPS.
Last year: Matt Downs, Houston Astros
Manager: Buck Showalter, Baltimore Orioles
Our decision was as difficult as the tight American League manager of the year race, but we went with the season-long surprise in Baltimore over the second-half surge by the Oakland Athletics. Even Showalter understands it will be difficult to repeat the season that defied any statistical analysis, but he found the right balance — for a year at least — of allowing his team to believe in itself rather than some sort of magic yet not getting wrapped up in the excitement in Baltimore, which increased to a level not seen there in more than a decade.
As Showalter said often during the season, his team made baseball relevant in Baltimore again, something the franchise can build on. And his message of sound fundamentals got through, which the roster can build on.
Last year: Joe Maddon, Tampa Bay Rays
Hitting coach: Rick Eckstein, Washington Nationals
He has been best-known as David Eckstein's brother, except among a portion of Nationals fans who made him a whipping boy for an offense that was perceived to be lagging behind a strong pitching staff. But the Nationals jumped to third in the National League in slugging, fifth in runs and fourth in on-base-plus-slugging percentage (OPS). Especially important were the strong finishes of rookie Bryce Harper, who hit .341 over his final 34 games to grab rookie of the year, and an OPS from Kurt Suzuki that was 189 points higher in Washington than before his trade from Oakland. Plus, shortstop Ian Desmond emerged as an All-Star, notorious slow starter Adam LaRoche had the best April of his career and young bench players Steve Lombardozzi and Tyler Moore remained sharp enough to be strong contributors.
Last year: Kevin Long, New York Yankees
Pitching coach: Bryan Price, Cincinnati Reds
The veteran coach has been here before, back on Team 2001 when he helped the Seattle Mariners staff improve by nearly a run a game during his first year on the job. This time he took the Reds staff from 12th in the NL in 2011 to the league's best in 2012.
He dealt with the emergence of Aroldis Chapman as closer despite the uncertainty of whether the fireballer would start or relieve. He helped veteran Bronson Arroyo lower his ERA by more than a run and got Homer Bailey to produce his most consistent and effective season yet.
Last year: Mike Maddux, Texas Rangers
Salary cap: $85,753,488

Long story short, we have a Miller HF-P at work we've been wanting to put a foot pedal on. Called local welding supply to find out what we need and were told we couldn't use one on that model. Searched all over online to verify and cannot find anything that reinforces this statement. Looked through the owners manual and at the back it gives options and accessories for unit. RFC-23A is recommended foot pedal. Anyone have any definitive answers? Also, will any other foot pedals work for this unit? Thanks for your time in advance.

Miller HF-P can use a foot pedal or notTags: None
I don't know why you can't put a foot pedal on it. I just purchased a 1980 HF-P that came with the setup and pedal.
A few years ago I inquired about adding something (I think it was a HF unit) to my old Miller Dailarc 250 AC/DC and was told that the cost of everything involved to convert it over, to what I wanted, would cost more than the value of the machine. I guess, in other words, the rep was saying that if the machine didn't come from the factory with certain extras, then it would REALLY cost to add them later.
I bought a Miller HF-P in January, at an auction, and it came with 3 Victor flow meters, 2 water cooled TIG torches, with all hoses and conecctions and a Miller foot pedal. My son, who is an electrican checked it over and said that it looks like it was bought new and never really used. It didn't even have the paint scratched and only had one dent on it, about the size of a pencil eraser. The price I paid for everything was $753.39. Been using it and it sure is a nice smooth welding machine. I guess for the price I paid and what I got, it was a great deal.Bill

Well, sounds to me like a foot pedal will work on this unit. I don't know why the dealer would have said that. Unless he was too lazy to make a sale. Or he was hoping to make a bigger sale on a new unit.

Why not call Miller and talk to the Tech Department.

Illuminate Your Life with Iron Chandelier Lighting
Let's be honest, iron chandeliers are all about the style, design and finish. It's an investment in the atmosphere of your home. Picking the right iron chandelier might seem tricky. You may be wondering how the differences in the designs will affect your lighting. We've got some answers that might help solve these questions for you. If your ceiling is not quite high enough for a chandelier you can install semi flush lights.
Uplight lighting- When an iron chandeliers lights face up it creates an uplighting effect. This is usually a softer light, keeping the brightness from hitting your eyes too harshly when you're in a sitting position and look up. This lighting can also create beautiful patterns along walls and ceilings. It's great for ambiance and relaxing. Chandeliers with uplights work very well in dining rooms, bedrooms and living rooms.
Downlight lighting- When the bulbs of a chandelier face down this is considered downlighting. Downlighting is a more vivid lighting effect. This is the sort of lighting you would want while working. Therefore this lighting works well in areas like the kitchen while you're cooking, a study while you're reading or offices while workings.
Take a chance with your lighting design by using different colored bulbs. You can also add dimmers to almost all models. Click "add accessory options" on the product page for more information on the different dimmers available. You can also view our iron and crystal chandelier page for more options.

Taylor Russell gets plenty of attention when she steps up to the bowling lane for Tupelo High, but she's not the lone reason the Lady Wave is a serious contender.
Russell and her teammates go for Tupelo's third straight state title Friday in the MHSAA Class II bowling championships at Fannin Lanes in Brandon.
Coach Susan Dudley feels that from top to bottom the Lady Wave may have its strongest squad in program history.
"The team as a whole is probably one of the strongest girls teams we've had," she said. "We can do it, we just have to fight for it."
Addison Gable, Ellye Gafford, Ashleigh Burns and Madison Stafford joined Russell as part of the five-girl team in the Baker-style North championship match against Neshoba Central last Saturday.
The unit dispatched the Lady Rockets 3-0 in the best-of-five series with comfortable wins in Games 1 and 2, before Russell knocked down a strike in her last roll for a 136-134 sweep-clinching victory.
"We've got it if we put our minds to it," Russell said. "If we have our head in the game, I think we can go all the way."
As Tupelo's boys prepare to bowl for their seventh straight state title, you can bet the Golden Wave will practice finishing spare situations.
"We've got to focus on our spares and making sure we can make the same shot over and over and over," Dudley said.
Starkville picked up one more spare than the Wave did to win Game 5 of the Class II North championship series by 15 pins.
Tupelo rolled a solid qualifying round, including a 1,022 team score in the final game. Clayton Horton, Joshua Chambers and Josh Turberville rolled four straight strikes apiece to begin their games.
The defending Class I champions Itawamba AHS girls and East Webster boys put their titles on the line Friday as well.
Eleven area teams, including first-year boys programs at New Albany and TCPS, will comprise the field of 16 at Jackson's Paradise Lanes.
The team qualifiers for the MHSAA Class I and II state bowling tournaments, scheduled for Friday in Jackson:
At Fannin Lanes
Class II Boys
Starkville, Tupelo, Clinton, Terry, Hancock, Gautier, Olive Branch, Petal
Class II Girls

We've been powering out Cote's Cube interviews the last couple days down here in Australia while we wait for a predicted swell that will restart the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro Gold Coast events. Check out interviews with 2007 World Champ Mick Fanning, 2X Women's Champion Stephanie Gilmore, Ace Buchan, ASP Junior World Champion Kai Barger, ripping women's tour rookies Coco Ho and Alana Blanchard, power broker Bede Durbidge, and a big photo gallery (below the interviews) of all the visitors to the New Era Athlete Lounge.
Mick Fanning dropped by today for a quick Cote's Cube interview and shed some light on the sand situation at Kirra. Being born and raised in the draining, sand-filled barrels, he sorely misses the consistency and quality of the legendary break as it hasn't been the same since the powers that be began pumping sand out of the Tweed River and depositing it down Kirra way. However, I just read in the local paper that the government has decided to allocate $1.5 million AUS to remove sand from Kirra in hopes in will return to it's former glory. According to Fanning, though, that won't be enough. "They've got to lengthen the groin (or jetty as we call it in the States) for Kirra to return," he said as he gazed toward Kirra from the 5th floor of our pad. "The groin creates a whirlpool that funnels the sand down the beach so it doesn't collect right there." So what are you waiting for Mr. Politician? When the 2007 World Champ says "jump", you should say "how high" and Bring Back Kirra!
2009 ASP Women's Tour Rookies Coco Ho and Alana Blanchard drop by the TransWorld SURF/New Era lounge for a quick episode of the infamous Cote's Cube. With the addition of these two and some the other ripping rookies, there's more energy and excitement than ever for women's surfing!
Timmy Reyes dropped into the New Era/TransWorld SURF lounge for a quick chat after we spotted him on his way to lunch. We do the Cote's Cube interviews on the balcony of the 5th floor, better views, less hooligans, and you can't hear Roy Powers' now-patented e-brake slides he does every time he drives by.

Celebrating more than two decades of music and touting its 2012 release, "The Movement," Rusted Root is bringing its hard-touring act to Englewood.
The Pittsburgh-based outfit, which broke onto the scene in the early 1990s with its second album "When I Woke" — highlighted by the songs "Send Me on My Way," "Back to the Earth," "Ecstasy," and "Beautiful People" — will take the stage Oct. 18 at The Gothic Theatre in Englewood, along with supporting acts Rob Drabkin and Goodnight, Texas.
A popular act throughout the mid-to-late 1990s, Rusted Root, known for its unique blend of experimental world beat folk fusion, has never ceased touring relentlessly, and after taking a seven-year break from recording between 2002 and 2009, is calling "The Movement," its seventh studio release, "a career album."
"I think this one kind of puts it all together for us, and for some people, it finally says, 'This band is going to be there for the long haul,'" said Michael Glabicki, the group's lead vocalist and primary songwriter.
From the rootsy, danceable "Monkey Pants" to the darker, drum-driven title track to the introspective "Something on My Mind," Rusted Root has come full circle, tying together years of work and experimentation, Glabicki says.
"I think we are at that point where you kind of say, 'Wow, there's a lot to work with in what we have already become accustomed to and sort of mastered. Then when we put it all together, it becomes very expressive, natural-sounding and fun," he said.
Whether in the studio or on the stage, Glabicki said he is having more fun now than at any point in Rusted Root's 21-year career together.
One of three original members still in the band, along with percussionist Liz Berlin and bassist Patrick Norman, Glabicki says the band has at last found its drummer in Preach Freedom, and guitarist Dirk Miller has been a fantastic addition to the group, since replacing guitarist Colter Harper six months ago.
The group is averaging about 160 shows a year, and in addition to performing, is currently working on a rockumentary and beginning to write for an eighth studio album. Glabicki's first solo release is also due out sometime next summer, which he says will be a very intimate collection of songs performed with a core trio he has been working with for the past two years.
"It's going to be a whole lot more of me," he said. "I'm stripping it down to more sparse acoustic songs, while part of the record will be a lot more rocking."
For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.RustedRoot.com or www.gothictheatre.com. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 day of show. Showtime is 8 p.m. Oct. 18 at The Gothic Theatre, 3263 S. Broadway in Englewood.

|In response to Re: Little white "rocks" in the hot water
Check your dip tube. It may be breaking up. Terry
: My hot water lines are plagued with little white "rocks" that I assume are some kind of calcium or lime build up coming out of the water heater. I have drained the heater a couple of times to try and reduce the rocks, but they are still coming (by the way - draining the heater did yield a huge number of these "rocks" as well).
: How can I get rid of these annoying things? I have to clean out the screens on the sink faucets every week to keep the pressure up. Is there some kind of filter I should install after the heater? Help!

Very Comfy
"I bought them online very skeptical about buying shoes I dont try on but when I got them and tried them on, the fit was great, the material is stretchy, the wide fit is spot on. The comfort is unbelievable. I went to work the next day wearing them all day and forgot I had them on. I usually take my shoes off during the day but those bootie are so comfortable I forgot to. Everyone loved them. Compliments all day long! Great buy and perfect fit."

Beautiful boots
"These boots are the perfect professional look with real comfort! They look great with dress pants, but can make skinny jeans look edgy."

Love the Impo Novice Stretch Bootie
"I had been looking for several months for a pair of boots to wear to work and these are perfect.I am on my feet at work for between 4-6 hours and after a long shift, my feet still feel good in these booties. The height is great, not to high or low. I also like that the boot shaft covers my ankles to keep them warm in the winter.I would definitely recommend these booties!"

A Good Shoe
"Great shoe! The style was exactly what I was looking for and the price is great. For such a short heel the support is not the best. Although if you add some store bought cushions like Dr Sholls it's not a problem. I have finicky feet so I usually add some kind of cushions to most of my shoes so I always have cushioning on hand."
