Subject: A Life Story
A Story to live by
There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always
there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see
the world, I will marry you.'
One day,
someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages
came off, she was able to see everything, including her
He asked
her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The
girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The
sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected
that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life
led her to refuse to marry him.
boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her
saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before
they were yours, they were mine.'
This is
how the human brain often works when our status changes.
Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who
was always by their side in the most painful situations.

Love Love Love It..!I wrote a review on this product before...I said "I love the way it smells,,,but not sure it's worth the price...let me say ONE word...MISTAKE
BUT...After using it for a month...I found that my hair actually looked better the longer I didn't wash it...and it was because of this Oil! It was so soft. When I ran out...I didn't take the time to order any more...I thought "I think I will try the Moroccan Oil everyone raves about"...big mistake! I paid $70+ along with the same brand of hair shine too. I am on a tight budget, but I hated the moroccan brand...I ended up giving it away...I actually think it gave me a case of dandruff, my scalp has been itching and flaking ever since...My hair felt greasy...heavy...and it sure didn't smell good. BUT, I love the Amika brand argan and I love this product...and yes, it is expensive, but I will always keep an extra bottle on hand. I am on a mission....to find the perfect argan oil...for the best price. BUT, I will always have a bottle of this around...UNTIL, I find a cheaper one, but for now, I don't believe that will happen and I felt compelled to share my experience ...again :)Aug 31, 2011Melanie N. / New MexicoHAIR TYPELight Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Terrible Customer Service From FolicaI really can't rate the product because the first bottle I received was damaged, but because I didn't notice the damage until I opened the box and that was passed the 30 day return requirement, Folica wouldn't even address the problem. Because I honestly wanted to try the product, I ordered another bottle. When the second bottle arrived, I noticed a slight stain on the box...needless to say, I immediately opened the box and although the damage was less obvious on this bottle than on the first one, I contacted Folica and advised them of the problem. They sent me a return label and said they would replace the damaged product when they received the first one. I packaged the product up in the original packaging and shipped it back to Folica. I waited and never received my replacement. When I finally called inquiring where the replacement was, I was told the order was cancelled..."would you like a refund?" Well, I definitely wanted a refund; however, this is the second bad experience I have had with folica customer service and although I think they carry a great range of products, I think I will be taking my business elsewhere...somewhere where the customer service is better!Jul 27, 2011Bobbie F. / GeorgiaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Try This Product You Will Not Be RegretWonderful product, it makes my hair feel so soft and silky.
I have thin hair and due to everyday use of flat iron
my hair is so damaged especially at the end. My hair looks
so healthy and fuller after using it.
It is not cheap, give it a try. I am sure you will like it too.

Amika Hair SerumHave used it for about 3 months, it is really good, helps tons against frizz, makes hair more silky and manageable. I use it with curly or straight hair. Do not put it on the scalp, but start about 1 inch away from the scalp, and u only need a little bit. I have naturally long curly frizzy hair, and only need about 3 pumps for my whole hair.Dec 8, 2009Angela / USA

This serum is absolutely amazing. My hair usually looks a little dry sometimes from highlightening, but wow what a difference. Not only did my husband complement me on how smooth and shiney my hair now looks, but he also loves its fragrance. It has nice clean smell to it. Yummy.Dec 5, 2009Carol / Pasadena

Awesome, It Has Made A World Of Difference For Me!Hi All, I am a fulltime working mom of three children. My hair just got drier with each child. It felt like brittle hay. I tried every hair product under the sun, what changed my hair was a stand at the beach. They had Amika flat irons, now even in the humide beach air it made my brittle, dry hair feel soft. Then I was hooked. Then I searched online for Amika products and the Amika Replenishing hair serum with Moroccan Argan oil has truley transformed my hair. My only disapointment is that I did not find these products years ago. Thanks, Lynda Hendren NCOct 21, 2009Lynda / Granite Falls, NC, USA

Bass won't know what hit 'em when you unleash the fish-catching power of the Lucky Craft LV Spin. Improving upon the wildly successful Lucky Craft LV, the Lucky Craft LV Spin adds an extra element of flash with the help of a small willow blade attached just below the jaw. The spinner blade generates an enormous amount of flash and creates another level of attraction to the already-enticing lure. Equipped with an internal glass and brass rattle system as well, the Lucky Craft LV Spin alerts nearby bass to its presence with a unique acoustic pitch. Packed full of vibration, the tight wobbling Lucky Craft LV Spin moves through the water with a unique action that gets bass salivating. Whether you're fishing it in gin-clear or muddy waters, you can be confident that the Lucky Craft LV Spin will get the job done with its deadly combinations of flash, action, and rattle.

Comments: Casting in 12 foot of water from shore back to boat and a 26" 5.5 Pound Walleye attacked the Baby Bluegill lure. This was no lip attack but a bottom up attack with the lure locked inside and across the mouth
From: Sean: Planfield, IL 7/14/14
Comments: A tale of two parts, by your friend Big J. The blade attachment looks funny, and it makes the lure run weird. Fish were utterly unresponsive. I suppose there might be situations where it catches fish, but I don't see any where other lures won't do it better. not sure about lucky craft's new business model of adding blades to existing products and calling them new lures. Let's see a little creativity, fellas! I didn't like this lure, and wouldn't buy another, except... I have had lv 200's for years. They are good lures and produce fish, especially when the fish are feeling pressured. They are also increasely hard to get, and TW doesn't carry them anymore. So I took the blade off of this (which is easy) and started slamming fish. Ended up with 10 in an hour's worth of fishing. I would rather pay a little less since I am going to take the blade off, but if this is the only way I can get more of these, then so be it.
From: Big J: Houston, TX
Comments: its sucks that they cost $16 dollars but they are a great product and they have worked very well for me

This year's Kentucky Derby, like so many Derbies before it, was all about the hats. Giant sun hats, old fashioned caps, hats with flowers and feathers and fruit. Yesterday stars and their hats came out to Louisville, Kentucky for the 138th Kentucky Derby, but before they sat down to enjoy the race they walked the red carpet to show off their Derby outfits that only work for one day a year. Here are some of the Derby's best dressed stars.

The comment period for the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) draft resource management plan for the Price Field Office will end on Nov. 29 after a 45 day extension. The BLM made the decision to extend the comment period after they received a number of requests from the public and other government agencies. BLM originally released the draft RMP and environmental impact statement to the public on July 16 for their review and comment. It considers an array of management options for future public land management. Comments were originally due to be delivered by Oct. 15.
As a result of the extension, the Emery County Economic Development Council will host a RMP education night on Nov. 16 to update local residents on the potential effects of the RMP and to provide an opportunity to ask questions to pertinent officials. The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Emery County building on the second floor. Attendees will receive assistance in developing written comments to submit to the BLM.
The Emery County Economic Development council, which includes an assortment of local business owners, representatives from state, federal and local agencies, and concerned citizens, hopes this education night will be a beneficial follow up to the successful Emery County Economic Development Summit, held in September.
The chairman for the group, Marc Stilson, said "The decisions made by the BLM in the RMP have the potential to impact virtually every aspect of the future economic growth of Emery County. The coal mines, the power plants, and the farmers all could see their business impacted, depending on the outcome of the RMP." He added, "It is absolutely critical that the residents of Emery County provide written comment to the BLM before the comment period ends. We need to provide the input that demonstrates just how dependent we are on the land."
To date, more than 50,000 comments have been received by the BLM on the RMP. Because of the large scale of the plan, the BLM is required to address each of the comments prior to making a final decision on the plan. The education meeting is expected to assist local residents in understanding issues relating to the RMP sufficiently to allow them to provide beneficial comments to the BLM.
The draft RMP provides four management concepts for the Carbon and Emery county BLM managed lands. Of particular interest in the RMP will be the specific management practices that will guide uses at popular destinations such as the San Rafael Swell, Nine Mile Canyon and Desolation Canyon. The selected plan will also guide recreation activities in the region such as OHV use, individual and group camping opportunities and certain trail and road use designations.
The plan will not attempt to resolve specific road disputes that fall under the classification of RS-2477 roads. Instead, the BLM will use the recently completed San Rafael Route Designation Plan to guide the decisions made in the plan. RS-2477 roads will continue to be handled through negotiations and legal actions between the state, the counties, the BLM and interested parties. On Aug. 31, the Utah Attorney General's office filed notice with the BLM of their intention to sue on the closures of 10 specific RS-2477 roads in Emery County
The Draft RMP/EIS may be viewed electronically at www.pricermp.com or by calling the Price Field Office at 435-636-3600. Comments can be submitted via the website or sent to Price Field Office RMP Comments, Attention: Floyd Johnson, 125 South 600 West, Price, UT, 84501.

Why does the cinema have the power to move the heart, stimulate the mind, and dazzle the imagination? How did the art of film develop from its origins to the present day?
This course covers the history and aesthetics of the movies. It traces the experiments and innovations that gave rise to the modern cinema, developing a vocabulary that helps explain the variety of choices filmmakers make when they construct shots and edit them together.
In each lecture, Professor Raphael Shargel introduces a period of film history, talks about its importance, covers aspects of cinematic technique, and illustrates his points by analyzing specific movies from the era under discussion. The course thus has both breadth and depth, covering the major movements in film history while at the same time focusing on key pictures worthy of study and enjoyment.

"It's better than everybody else is saying"
Every other review mentions the normal noises the narrator makes and it just isn't as big a deal as everybody else is making it to be. Listening to the book is a perfectly fine experience; the content is superb if you're interested in the history of cinema.
There are books of the same chemical composition as dynamite. The only difference is that a piece of dynamite explodes once, whereas a book explodes a thousand times. ― Yevgeny Zamyatin
"Educational! But ...the mike's too close!"
Mr. Shargel is a passionate and charismatic lecturer, compelling to listen to. But he's a hard swallower, I must admit. But anyway, if you're interested in film studies, don't hesitate to buy it.
"Great information/passion. Obnoxious mouth noises."
The information, really. The narrator seemed to be passionate about the material.
A lot of information presented with excitement in a digestible way.
Only if he can get a handle on his mouth noises. Or an editor cut them out.
Between the narrator and whoever produced or quality checked the audio, someone should have said something about the mouth noises and swallowing. Obnoxious and really distracting, which is a shame because the information and passion is there.
"Nice Lecture, but noises are just ruining it"
I agree with all previous reviews, the lecture is pretty interesting, especially if you are a beginner in this topic, BUT these noises, it is SO annoying, he doesn't even shot the mike to take a sip of water... egh.. sounds disgusting (despite the fact that he has very pleasing sound voice)
"Great info, but author should watch mouth noises"
This is great info, and I am learning a lot. But, I have a real pet peeve about mouth noises (saliva or lack thereof), swallowing. The microphone picks up everything and well, it's a little gross, to be honest. Like I said, he's great, but the noises and swallowing are getting in the way of my total enjoyment. It could be remedied with hydration or pulling away from the mic when he pauses to swallow.
"Great, but offensive sound throughout"
Great author and book, but if you're listening whith an ipod and you find drinking, cotten mouth and swalling offensive, you're going to have a hard time. How could such a good book receive such a poor recording?
"Understanding Movies"
Need the book for an online cinema class. Because I needed this class I endured the reader. The person reading had such a terrible lisp that every S and every F and X were exaggerated. The microphone was an inch from his mouth and you get the full horrible sound of hissssss voices and ssssssufffffer through his affectation or speech impediment. This book probably sells because people like my teacher, who is good, uses this book as a requirement for the class. I wonder if the reader ever listened to himself and no student would dare flirt with a bad grade by suggesting he work on his speech problem. This speech affectation was painful to hear. Hard to just rate this book due to the horrible sound and knowing it was needed for my class.
"quite good"
more history and recaping the story in films than analisis. overall the book was ok but if you know the films parts where the author retells the story a bit boring
"I've learned a lot about movies"
This book has taught me a lot about movies and different periods in cinema.
I loved the narrator, and style of narration. I got the impression that the narrator consciously knew what he wanted to convey with each lecture, and I found this vastly superior to the ordinary script reading encountered in most audiobooks.
Rabbi Steve the Storyteller
"As a mini-course: just fine"
I think this audio program gets a very bad rap. It's not a book, it's a little course or series of lectures. And as such, it's well recorded, very easy to understand, interesting, and well worth your time if you're interested in the subject.
All of the reviews pointing out the mouth noises, etc. as being "too distracting" or taking stars off because of that, either have ever heard recordings of lectures but how much were found on this, or expecting a professional reader reading a book.
This is not that. it's a very interesting course, put together, and read by the professor himself. It serves it's purpose well, and if you find the subject interesting, you will not have a problem with the so-called "mouth noises" or whatever.
Highly recommended for aficionados, fans, students of film and filmmakers
"Very interesting.. highly recomended.."
Interesting and catching attention interpretation of films. Listening to the lectures has changed they way I will look and think about films. I bought few audiobooks about films and this is definitely the best one, comes with access to on-line resources which is a bonus.
Mr Shargel is very passionate and convincing about films and that makes listening even more interesting (not like some emotionless narrators), great knowledge!
The performance could be improved a bit .. but content is worth listening despite some faults in performance..
Very much recommended for film students and anyone interested in films - you will look at films in a new way after listening to these lectures..
"Pace, Passion... and Gulping"
Recommended for its energy and enthusiasm - this is an enthralling gallop through the history of cinema.
The focus is on Prof. Shargel's taste for the Art within film-making so it is personal and subjective. His contempt for vacuous Hollywood action movies is evident! But his exploration is never showy or high-minded, grounded as it is, in the speakers humility, his authentic love of film and its power to touch the human soul. The theme of each illuminating lecture (14 in all) is well chosen and leads naturally into the next.
One minor complaint; Shargel seems to suffer from an excess of saliva production - his delivery is peppered with squelchy gulps which slightly grossed me out! Once over this however, I was riveted for the duration - even by areas which I feared may be dull.
Left me feeling inspired to re-watch some classics and seek out some hitherto unknown films. Great stuff.
"Course not for begginers"
Tip: watch all the movies mentioned before starting this course.
I am a person who loves watching movies, but knows little about the history of film. I was greatly confused by this course and although I did learn new things, I felt that I don't have sufficient knowledge to get the most of it.

There is fair agreement between Constable's inscription and the weather records for the London area on that day.

Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Inductee 1962
Thompson burst onto the national scene in the "Roaring Twenties," leading Dixie High School to the Utah State Championship and a second place finish in the 1925 High School National Tournament in Chicago. Thompson went on to star at Montana State University, driving the Golden Bobcats to a three-season record of a 102-11. "The Cat", as he was named for his lightning-quick reflexes and top-notch conditioning, averaged 15.4 points a game for his college career, at a time when teams nationwide were averaging only 40 points per game. In three seasons, Thompson registered a remarkable 1,539 points in 100 games and finished his career as Montana State's all-time leading scorer. He was named All-American and All-Rocky Mountain Conference from 1928-30. He led Montana State to the Helms National Championship with a 35-2 record in 1929 and was named the 1930 Helms Foundation National Player of the Year.

By JAMES L. DAVIS
OK. I'm still confused. The last time I wrote an article for this little column was almost six months ago, shortly after I was married. After getting married I thought that all of the confusion in my life was over, that everything from that point on would make perfect sense and if, by chance, it didn't then I could ask my new bride to explain to me why the world worked the way it did and she would be able to do so.
But I have to admit that I'm still confused, perhaps even more so than before. Not only am I confused but I've learned that my wife is confused as well, as are her children, pets, friends and acquaintances. We are all of us sailing in a great sea of confusion. Which is fine I guess because we are all confused together. What we're confused about is everything, well virtually everything, and it all started the day after we returned from our honeymoon and tried to figure out just how in the heck we were going to integrate our two families into one and still maintain some semblance of sanity.
After several months we realized that combining our two families into one and maintaining sanity was completely impossible, so we gave up on the sanity part and have been able to combine our two families and live happily insane ever since. The reason we discovered that you can't combine two families into one and maintain your sanity is because, as adults, we worried about things that no one else involved in the Great Family Integration Project even bothered to think about.
Like the children getting along. My wife and I spent a considerable amount of time fretting over how well our children would get along with each other. We discussed how we would handle any sibling rivalry or jealousy and came up with a detailed plan of action on how to maintain an organized, loving environment for our children. A week after combining our families we took that detailed plan of action and threw it away because it was based on flawed data; data which mistakenly assumed that we, as the parents, were in charge and that our children were waiting for our guidance. In fact, we even held a big family meeting shortly after getting married to explain to our loving children how we wanted to maintain our household and our children all nodded collectively, almost as if they were actually listening.
The fact of the matter is that the children held a meeting of their own, some time before our meeting and they already had everything worked out. I know this because my wife and I noticed rather early on that when her children and my children were talking to each other about the two of us my wife and I were identified as The Parents. Not Dad and Mom, not James and Colleen, not any variation of the sort, but The Parents. So when one of the children was trying to explain to the other that if he or she didn't stop doing whatever they were doing immediately they would say so in such a manner: "If you don't stop that I'm gonna tell The Parents."
To which the other would respond: "The Parents said I could," and the other child would rush off to find one of The Parents to verify whether this information was true or not and complain about the inherent injustices in the world. Just like kids are supposed to I guess.
Which brings us back to our concern about our children getting along. Of course they don't get along, they're brothers and sisters, so it is impossible for them to get along for any length of time. That fact holds true whether there is a genetic link between the siblings or not. They fight, they whine, they plot against each other as individuals and against The Parents collectively, just as God intended them to.
And occasionally my wife and I will stumble upon our children sitting quietly together reading books or playing games or just talking to one another and the two of us tiptoe out of the room as quickly as possible before the spell is broken. We tiptoe out and, just like parents everywhere, we try to remember everything we have fed our children during the course of the day. Everything we've fed them, given them to drink or said to them. All in the futile hope that we can duplicate whatever it is that caused them to be sitting so comfortably together enjoying each others company. Duplicate it, bottle it and feed it to them on a daily basis.

Much of the University business is conducted through the work of four kinds of committees: (1) University governance committees comprised of University Policy Committees and Standing Committees (as shown below), (2) Faculty Senate committees, (3) committees mandated by civil law, and (4) temporary ad hoc task forces.
The University Coordinating Committee (UCC) is the meta committee that makes governance more efficient, effective, and responsive. Its duties are (1) to coordinate the work of the University Policy Committees (UPCs), (2) to appoint to each UPC members who are competent to perform the work of that committee, and (3) to guarantee appropriate consultation and efficiency in the overall process of University governance. There are six University Policy Committees that are integral to effective and sustainable governance at SCU. In addition, there are two advisory, standing committees. Appointments to the committees are made on the basis of competence.

One of the fascinating named places in Emery County whose history has been carrying on but constantly changing since 1882, is Quitchupah, pronounced Quit-chum-pah by many of us. It is located in a long narrow valley about four miles southwest of Emery.
Quitchupah is an Indian word (Piute?) meaning "Bad Water. It is not clear why or which water was meant as bad because Quitchupah Creek seemed good and seems to be continued to be used at least for irrigation purposes.
The history written by Arminta Hewitt for the book "Emery County - 1880-1980" is very interesting. John C. and Teressa Duncan were the first settlers on Quitchupah Creek. "They didn't have any neighbors, but the Pony Express rider came through from Price to Salina and would stay overnight at their place. The Duncans later moved to Ferron, but the house is still standing on the Petty Ranch."
By the late 1880s, because of the Homestead Act, there were 13 families living in Quitchupah. They could each settle up to 120 acres. Some of the family names after the Duncans were Christiansen, Foote, Allred, Beebe, Albrechtsen, Olsen, Larsen, Abelin, Anderson and Walker.
They hauled lumber from Wayne County for a schoolhouse which was the center of all activities; dances, parties, quilting bees, birthdays, and in the fall, corn husking parties.
These families were mostly self sufficient, built log cabins and corrals of the abundant pinion pine and quaking aspen trees that grew on the mountains to the west. They planted cottonwood and fruit trees, made sheds and outbuildings, raised their own meat, vegetables and eggs, and grew wheat for flour. The women made soap, corded the wool from their sheep, spun yarn, knitted stockings, sweaters, and comforters.
They would trade their surpluses at the stores in Emery for sugar, salt, and dry goods. Spinning wheels were made by Fredrick Julius Christiansen.
An excerpt from the recently published book of Emery Town states that James Walker, a sheepman, homesteaded what is now called Walker Flats.
The young men who worked for Walker also had the job of chasing wild horses out of the fields which would come in from the east desert and the mountains.
"The Ireland Cattle Company owned the south part of the Quitchupah and several sections between there and the Oak Spring ranch. Some people in those early days feathered their nest, so to speak, with the Ireland cattle. The cattle were on the range the year around and many of the calves were never branded until someone else put their brand on them. Mr. Ireland hired Hans Jensen, Neils Hansen, Severine Albrechtsen, and Joe Miller to break up the land on the Quitchupah Ranch and farm it for the Ireland Cattle Company."
The Quitchupah Creek was a small stream that could be crossed almost anyplace. To water the farms, the men of each family worked hard to make a dam west of the Charles Foote place, collected the water, put in headgates, and distributed it to the various farms. "It was hard work, but life was good." There were many beautiful, green farms.
However, in the summer of 1912, a terrible storm struck the area causing rushing water a mile wide in some places roaring down the canyon bringing boulders, trees, and debris with it that ripped out the dam, threatened some homes, and washed out many sheds and outbuildings. This flash flood created a deep wash leaving some homes on the very edge in many places.
The settlers worked to rebuild the dam, but unsuccessfully.
They filed on and brought water from the Emery Canal, they even built a huge wooden flume, but that too, solved the problem for only a time. Eventually, the settlers became discouraged and some moved to Emery and others left the area to try to make a living elsewhere.
Since that time there have been many others who have bought, sold, or worked this Quitchupah land. At present the Castle Valley Ranch owns much of the property in the area.
There has been talk of building a road through the canyon to shorten a coal hauling route.
This would be a costly endeavor not only in dollars but in the loss of some of the timeless history written on the rocks by long ago Native American residents. The history of Quitchupah goes back thousands of years and is certainly one of the colorful and interesting places in Emery County worth exploring whether by foot or on the pages of history.

In the early morning hours of Feb. 1 or late on Jan. 31 two businesses in the county sustained break-ins. The Country Corner store in Cleveland and Cindi's restaurant in Huntington both had their front doors smashed in and someone entered the businesses. Det. Sgt. Robert Blackburn of the Emery County Sheriff's Office is conducting the investigation. He said, "They entered the businesses through the front doors which they had broken the glass from the door. They took the cash registers from the businesses. We found the cash register from the Country Corner store on airport road and a drawer from that cash register along the road to Cleveland from the turnoff by Huntington Lake.
"The cash register from Cindi's was found by the Huntington City maintenance shop on 100 West 370 North. The cash registers had sustained damage. The cash register from Country Corner was empty when they took it, which they didn't find out until it was opened. The cash register from Cindi's had approximately $200 in it. Tobacco products and cigarettes were also thought to be missing from Country Corner. No other items were taken from Cindi's except the cash register.
"We are questioning people now concerning the break-ins. The cash registers have been taken into evidence and will be fingerprinted," said Blackburn.
Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon said, "A $500 reward is being offered for anyone having information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for these break-ins. The door glass will need to replaced at these businesses which is a considerable expense. We here at the sheriff's office take crimes against small business very seriously. It's a struggle for small businesses in our county to survive and they don't need thieves making things harder for them. If you have any information, please contact the sheriff's office at 381-2404 and ask for Det. Sgt. Blackburn who is handling the investigation."

Bills training camp observations: Day 13
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 6 2014 10:37PM
The Buffalo Bills are now 13 days into training camp and some of the same problems have lingered throughout the duration of practices. Outside of a few days, the starting offensive unit of the Bills have struggled to establish themselves against their own teammates.
Wednesday was no exception for the first unit, failing to reach the level of consistency most teams are looking for by this point in an individual training camp. So what is the overwhelming problem? It all starts with the player that touches the ball each and every play.
EJ's struggles continue
- The same EJ Manuel that was seen during Tuesday's practice reappeared on Wednesday. For the second straight day, Manuel was apprehensive, indecisive and mostly inaccurate. His most common course of action on any given play was to look for his first read to be open, pat the ball in the pocket and either take a sack or throw an inaccurate pass. The inconsistency in going through his progressions has to be the most maddening part for the coaching staff. If the light goes on, Manuel could be a different quarterback and find more comfort and poise in the pocket. On Wednedsay Jeff Tuel was throwing the ball a bit crisper and was going through his progressions, but don't read anything into that fact. The Bills won't even consider benching Manuel in the early going, no matter how Tuel looks throughout training camp and the preseason.
Woods with an edge
- In a peculiar action on Sunday, the Bills didn't use wide receiver Robert Woods with the first team in their first preseason game. Whatever message that delivered to Woods seemed to have worked on Wednesday at practice. The wideout was playing with a bit of an angry streak, but in a good way. You could just tell by his body language early on in the practice that he was just a bit agitated, and that appeared to be the best way to motivate him. He came out and had one of his best practices of training camp so far with multiple difficult catches in traffic. He saved the best for last, making a one-handed grab in the corner of the end zone with the cornerback draped all over him. It's unknown to this point how head coach Doug Marrone will use him on Friday, but they should continue to motivate Woods in a similar way… because it worked.
Chandler drops
- The past two days of practice have not been kind to starting tight end Scott Chandler. Dropped passes plagued Chandler's return to practice on Tuesday and he added another three on Wednesday as well. He's been a solid target in the past and his hands have never really been a huge issue since he's been with the organization. Perhaps it's a case of him trying to play catch-up with the offense and his teammates after missing a few days of practice and the first preseason game due to a groin injury. Whatever the case may be, Chandler needs to ditch this newfound habit… and quickly. Lee Smith has been healthy, he's a better blocker and has had a solid camp so far. Smith isn't really a serious competitor to be the starter, but he has been quite consistent at St. John Fisher College to this point.
Landon Cohen making waves
- For those that kept the television on all the way through the second half of the Hall of Fame Game, most took notice of a player that was relatively anonymous to a good number of fans before the contest. Defensive tackle Landon Cohen was consistently winning his matchups against the Giants and has also been doing similar things during training camp. On Wednesday, he had an impressive rep against rookie guard Cyril Richardson where he bull-rushed the offensive lineman for two steps, then did a quick spin and got upfield past his man and into the backfield. Cohen does have some experience at the NFL level, so perhaps it wasn't just a bottom of the roster type of signing. If his play continues he might be one of those players no one expected, that could push for a spot on the 53-man roster.
Live goal line
- The Bills concluded their shortened week of practice with a four-play, live goal line session to get the players at least a little familiar with hitting before they played in their second preseason game. In one of the few successful offensive plays in the red zone area, Fred Jackson plunged forward over the left side of the line of scrimmage from the two-yard line and got into the end zone. On the next play, it was Anthony Dixon's turn to try and find pay dirt. The run play was designed to go to the right side and second-year safety Duke Williams read it beautifully. The big-hitting safety met Dixon at the line of scrimmage and didn't surrender any ground, waiting for teammates to come stop the play in full. On the third play, the second-team offense trotted on to the field and once again they tried a running play. Fullback Evan Rodriguez took a handoff over the left guard, but there was no push up front and all that happened was a big pile that kept him out of the end zone. On the fourth play, the Bills' lone pass attempt, Jeff Tuel took the snap and turned left, only to find defensive end Manny Lawson free right in front of him. The play was dead right there. Yet again, defense reigned supreme on the Bills' practice field.
Day 13 MVP: DE Jerry Hughes
- The day's most valuable and least valuable are tied into one another. Starting defensive end Jerry Hughes was consistently in the backfield for sack after sack, and blowing up run plays all the same. He couldn't be blocked on Wednesday and the Bills' offense, who were busy trying to install their offense, didn't offer any help to the man he was beating so soundly all day long. That man? Well, he's the least valuable player.
Day 13 LVP: OT Seantrel Henderson
- For the second straight day, the rookie left tackle getting reps in place of Cordy Glenn could not get a hold on how to slow down Hughes. Seantrel Henderson was beaten time, after time, after time, after time. He's had a strong effort in training camp through the first 11 days, and even showed quite well against the New York Giants on Sunday. He needs to take the last two practices and put them deep in his pocket, never to be seen or heard from again. He'll get plenty of time on the field on Friday night, because he could be playing a significant role for the team if Glenn cannot get back on the field in time for the regular season.
Up Next:
The Bills will travel to Charlotte on Thursday afternoon, leading up to their second preseason game of 2014. They'll take on the Carolina Panthers Friday night at 7:30 pm.

GDFD No. 80: This is it!
Ryan Lambert
April 07 2009 12:14PM
Welcome to the 32nd Game Day Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's 80th (and most important) game of the season on April 7, 2009.
No, really, this is it. This is pretty much the season right here.
Flames lose tonight and Vancouver just put itself in a very good position to win the division title, meaning the Flames finish either fourth or fifth and likely play the Chicago Blackhawks, against whom they earned one point in four games this year, in the first round of the playoffs.
Flames win tonight and they ensure that they, and not the Canucks, win the division title, meaning the Flames finish third and probably play the Blue Jackets or Ducks in the first round, a much more desireable matchup either way. Calgary split the season series with Columbus and took three of eight points from the Ducks. Not great, but not only one point either.
But the obstacle is that Vancouver had a night off and didn't have to travel and Calgary was still playing 24 hours before the puck drops tonight at 8 p.m. Mountain time. Plus that whole "record in back-to-backs" thing poses a bit of a problem.
No worries though! We're staying positive tonight!
Thus, I know for a fact that at least five of the following 10 things WILL happen tonight:
- Jarome Iginla has a multiple-point night.
- Daymond Langkow has a goal.
- Miikka Kiprusoff stands on his head.
- The power play lights Roberto Luongo up like Times Square on New Years Eve.
- Dion Phaneuf demolishes someone.
- Two goals come from guys with less than 10 on the year.
- Olli Jokinen makes his long-awaited return to the scoresheet.
- Someone has a Gordie Howe hat trick.
- Todd Bertuzzi comes to PLAY tonight.
- Jamie Lundmark plays the hero.
I just have a great feeling about tonight.
Beat Vancouver!
(Sorry once again gang, it's yet another early one because I have to be at work at 1 p.m. your time and might not make it home for the start of the game. Agh! Make sure you comment your asses off so I can follow along on my BlackBerry beyond just the score. I'm counting on you fine guys and gals tonight. Don't let me down.)
The Calgary Flames (45-28-6 for 95 points. Fourth in the West, first in the Northwest) and the Vancouver Canucks (42-27-10 for 94 points. Fifth in the West, second in the Northwest).
8 p.m. Mountain time and 10 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should learn something about how currency affects economy.
GM Place, Vancouver, British Columbia.
Calgary is 19-18-2 away from home this year, but just played their best game in a month. The Canucks are a solid 22-12-5 at home but dropped two incredibly important games against very bad teams over the weekend.
What (to hate about the Canucks):
The obvious reason — They're all that stand between the Calgary Flames and another division title. I find their position unacceptable.
Alain Vigneault — Do you remember the save Kipper made against Kyle Wellwood earlier this year? If not, here it is. Said Vigneault after that retardo stop: "Kyle got what he deserves. I mean, he is not bearing down and had an open net. He's shooting the puck two miles an hour. You have to bear down, you have to put your full weight into it, you have to shoot it. He might have been standing there a little bit. Obviously, it looked like the goalie made a big save, but the player didn't have a great attempt there. "
I bolded and italicized the enraging part. God DAMN do I hate Vigneault. Smug prick.
Mats Sundin — I can't decide if the whole Sundin saga ended up hilarious (9-17-26 in 38 games for the cap equivalent of $10 million! lol!) or sad (9-17-26 in 38 games for the cap equivalent of $10 million! :( ). Either way, he sucks and that makes me happy.
The Sedin Twins — If only because it's unlikely they'll stay in Vancouver next year and will immediately become far less hateable. Goodbye Pony Boys, we will miss wishing you misfortune.
Ryan Kesler — In the offseason, he actually had the balls to say he aspired to be what Jarome Iginla is as a player. That's like saying you aspire to be like Jesus Christ. It's sacrelige and in poor taste. No one can be what Jarome Iginla is. Because he's better than everyone.
Roberto Luogno — Man he's very go.. well not lately. Forget I mentioned him here.
Vancouver fans — They're as bad, stupid, ugly and offensive to the human race as Oilers fans. They just live in a much nicer city (though, in contrast with Edmonton, the same could be said of hockey fans in Fallujah).
Because this is the most important game of the entire season! Enjoy the game and belittle the Canucks and their fans in the comments section.
I don't even know what an "affliction shirt" is.
This should be a great game. There is always so much intensity when these teams play as a hockey fan I cant wait. Have fun Flames fans, you have a great team and you deserve the excitment. Enjoy the Flames kool-aid and all the false hope that this site provides you. All this false hope will be for not, in two weeks you will all be pissing and moaning how Lundmark didnt make the World Championship team. It's too bad that a great team and a great city have such an arrogant and pretencious hockey fans. Your all a bunch of inbred, knuckldragging douche bags. Go buy an affliction shirt and talk about how much many you make up north.
I watched the third period of the Van-Col game, and I can't put much blame on Luongo, actually. The defense was the real problem. They were giving Colorado shooting and passing lanes every time the puck was in the Vancouver end.
If the Flames ever had a reason to play a strong second game, tonight is the night. We'll get to see what the team will be like in the playoffs, when they have a chance to clinch a series.
Deans: Big words from someone who doesn't say who they are cheering for. Let me guess: Colorado fan? Phoenix, maybe? It could be Dallas.
Yeah what the eff Dean. Go somewhere else if you aren't going to say anything useful.
Do you think the Sedins will get traded as a package out of Vancouver? If not it will be hilarious to see their shared umbelical cord severed finally. How did these idiots manage to stay together this long???
The first douchebaggian tell off on the FlamesNation.
This site is starting to pick up momentum!
*wipes tear of joy from cheek*
@ Wanye Gretz: Just thought I'd do my part. The mothballs on here are a little disturbing. Just like Oilersnation this is a great site, if I have to make fun of a few UFC wannabees than so be it. BTW- Yes I realize you called me a douchbaggian and i applaud you for the innovative term.
I have to be honest to all you Flames fans. I pretty much hate the majority of ALL Canadian hockey fans. The beefs I have w/ are the same beefs that I have for Oilers fans. You guys dress up in affliction shirts and shoot people outside of cowboys. Oilers fans dress up in armoni dress shirts and watch the game on a big screen WHILE THEY ARE AT THE GAME (in the lower concourse the richy rich like to congegate and pretend they are on The Hills)
UFC wannabes?
The affliction shirt to Flames fan ratio is alarming.
As a long time reader, first time poster... I cannot believe what I just witnessed. Probably the most complete game ive seen from the Flames in recent memory. Take Lou out of the equation and you would have had a Flames win FOR SURE. (and maybe Phanuef for giving tip ins on one, if not 2 Nucks goals). It may have even been a win if we had a complete HEALTHY roster. I just hope we take this kind of game into Edmonton and back at home, and into the playoffs. Hold your heads up high Calgary, you played one heck of a game.
Flames Fan For Life. GO FLAMES GO!!!
@ Kent:
Oh Kent. You are my scholarly friend who totally won't get arrested for brawling at a UFC match.
Good for you.
@ Deans:
And thank you for commenting Deans. This site is actually getting about 200 visitors on a good day. But it's like a junior high school dance in here. Everyone standing on the walls eyeing each other up, no one participating in the dance.
It will come .... shhh there ... it will come
*stares paternally at groups of virtual junior high dance attendees wearing Flames Jerseys*
If you want to evoke comments from Flames fans, just attack the sacred cows: Sutter, Kipper, Iginla. The comments won't be very nice, but you're likely to get more of them.
@ Kent:
So let me get this straight. You like your coaching and management? What on earth would that be like?
@ Wanye Gretz:
Sutter has built himself a cult of personality in this town: he was the deliverer from the dark times and will be revered until the dark times return. Others associated with the Flames rebirth are, of coursed, Kipper and Iginla (perhaps Regehr). They are, to a vast majority of Flames fans, nigh untouchable and beyond reproach. To speak ill of them is to commit treason.
As for me, I worship at no alters...
April 08 2009, 02:25PM
I dunno, Kent. You are a pretty big fan of the stars of that classic 1992 movie, GlenConny Glen Moss. Haha, I just wikipedia'd Glengarry Glen Ross and there is actually a character in the movie called David Moss. Played by Ed Harris, three time Academy Award NOMINEE!

Here at the Franklin Victorian Bed and Breakfast in Sparta, WI we are always very concerned about our guests and our enivorment. Starting in 2012 we are "Thanking Our Guests" with a Sample Capsule of Shaklee Basic H2 Cleaner for them to take home and try for their own use. We use only Shaklee products for All our cleaning needs at the bed and breakfast. We truly believe in this product for the health of our guests, to the cleanliness of our B&B.
"Inside this tiny capsule is enough power to make a whole bottle of all-purpose super cleaner and another whole bottle of glass cleaner…"
Each little vial holds enough Basic H2 to make two bottles of powerful cleaner when diluted in 16 ounces of water. Great for introducing new prospects to the cleaning power of Basic H2. First, mix 2 drops to 16 oz. of water in a Get Clean Spray Bottle for cleaning windows and mirrors. Then, mix 1/4 tsp. to 16 oz. of water in a Get Clean Spray Bottle for all-purpose cleaning.
So, here is my overall take on the Shaklee Basic H2 Cleaner:
Do I think the product works? Yup!
Are they healthier and more environmentally friendly ? Yup!
Is the Shaklee Basic H2 Cleaner expensive? NO! At first look, you might think at $12 for a 16 oz. bottle of the Basic H2 Cleaner, that is expensive. However, if I tell you how much of that little .07 fl. oz sample vial I used you will see that $12 for a 16 oz. bottle is a deal compared to the cost of buying average cleaner…
And, I don't even want to think about all that plastic that goes into the landfill if you don't use Shaklee products!
A better you, better health, a better world. It's not just possible. It's happening—again and again—every day.

Get Additional Sleep Support with Extra Strength Restful Night Essentials
Find yourself awake during the night even after taking a sleep aid? You're going to love my new solution…Extra Strength Restful Night Essentials!
Getting a good night's sleep is critical to your health.
At least 50 studies over the past decade have shown that as you become increasingly sleep deprived, your mind slows down and you have more trouble focusing. Your memory—especially short-term—is impaired, and even simple mental tasks become increasingly difficult. Worse yet, your motivation and creativity plummet when lack of sleep puts you on autopilot.
Not only does your mind suffer from lack of sleep, your immune system does too.
While you sleep, your immune system shifts into high gear. Specialized immune cells get ramped up and stimulate other infection-fighting forces. Plus, your body's levels of natural killer cells—the most aggressive white cells in your immune system—drop significantly after only 24 hours of sleep deficiency. Now you know why you feel run down when you don't get a good night's sleep—and why a good night's sleep can make all the difference.
So why aren't we sleeping—and how do we fix it?
Sleep doesn't come easily for some people and often gets more difficult as we get older. The amount of time spent in the deepest, most restful stages of sleep declines with age. In fact, for some of us, after the age of 60, the deepest stages of the sleep cycle may disappear altogether! You'll find that you are more easily awakened, making your sleep more likely to be interrupted.
Why do these problems occur?
Because melatonin, your body's natural sleep aid, is a hormone that decreases dramatically as you age. This age-related decline is directly responsible for the drop in your quality of sleep.
The answer? Boost your level of melatonin—and that's a great start.
For years I've been fine-tuning the nutrients necessary for a good night's sleep with good results, in an all-natural remedy that lulls you into a deep, quality sleep, and won't leave you feeling groggy when you wake up. My original Restful Night Essentials has helped thousands of people sleep soundly—gently and naturally.
But for those of you who need a bit stronger support to sleep all the way through the night, I've developed Extra Strength Restful Night Essentials, with 3 times the melatonin.
Melatonin decreases the time it takes to fall asleep and produces a deep, restful sleep. If you need extra sleep help, I recommend 3 mg of melatonin about 30 minutes before bedtime.
Valerian is the most widely used sleep aid in Europe. This herb helps relieve anxiousness by increasing levels of gamma amino butyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that calms down the brain. Valerian also has a mild sedative effect that helps you fall asleep more quickly. I recommend taking 500 mg 30 minutes before going to bed.
L-theanine, an amino acid, effectively calms you by enhancing alpha-wave activity in the brain, which results in relaxation. I recommend 200 mg of L-theanine.
Other herbs, such as chamomile, lemon balm, and hops also promote feelings of calmness and have been used for hundreds of years to promote sleep.
You are not alone in needing extra support for a good nights' sleep. And now you have a safe, natural, non-habit-forming solution with the nutrients I recommend at research doses! My Extra Strength Restful Night Essentials will help you fall asleep and stay asleep all night, leaving you feeling rested, refreshed, and alert—and supporting your body's natural immune defenses.

Tobacco is a killer. Smokers and other tobacco users are more likely to develop disease and die earlier than are people who don't use tobacco. If you smoke, you may worry about what it's doing to your health. You probably worry, too, about how hard it might be to quit smoking. Nicotine is highly addictive, and to quit smoking — especially without help — can be difficult. In fact, most people don't succeed the first time they try to quit smoking. It may take more than one try, but you can stop smoking.
Take that first step: Decide to quit smoking. Set a stop date. And then take advantage of the multitude of resources available to help you successfully quit smoking.
Now that you've decided to quit smoking, it's time to map out your quit-smoking action plan. One of the first steps of your quit-smoking action plan should be "Get support."
Support can come from family, friends, your doctor, a counselor, a support group or a telephone quit line. Support can also come from use of one or more of the medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration for smoking cessation.
Another key step in your quit-smoking action plan? Planning for challenges. For example, make a list of high-risk places you'll want to avoid when you start your quit-smoking plan. Think of other places to go where smoking isn't allowed, such as a shopping mall, a museum or movie theater.
What does living smoke-free mean? Living smoke-free is your opportunity to live a healthier and probably longer life. By the end of your first year, your risk of heart attack decreases by half. After 15 years, it's almost the same as someone who never smoked. Living smoke-free can also mean better quality of life — with more stamina and a better ability to appreciate tastes and smells.
But living smoke-free doesn't mean living stress-free. In fact, smokers often cite stress as a reason for relapsing. Instead of using nicotine to help cope with stress, you'll need to learn new ways to cope. Be proactive. You can find out more about stress management online or at the library. For more help, talk with your doctor or a mental health provider.

The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) is an inverted degree program which allows individuals to apply a vocational/technical field (i.e., courses, training, or work experience) as credit toward a baccalaureate degree while enhancing the liberal arts component of the student's education. Students in this degree program desire to enhance their knowledge, analytical abilities and critical thinking skills for upward mobility in their field.
The BAS degree requires a 36 semester hour major of which 18 semester hours must be in upper-level credit. The AU-ABC program major is applied science. The remaining 18 hours of CCAF credit create a specialization directly related to the AFSC.
Other majors in the BAS are business administration, human services, justice administration, management, religion, or career and technology education. Some of these can be completed with 60 additional hours, depending on one's AFSC.
General Education Core
This is a 42-44 semester hour liberal arts component. It includes courses in English, history, math, science, physical education, speech, political science, computer applications, and religious history. Specific requirements are listed on the sample degree plan.
Some courses taken at Wayland Baptist University, other universities or by testing in fulfillment of the CCAF may be transferred into this section.
Professional Development
The Professional Development component consists of 24 semester hours selected to provide depth or breadth to the major and to provide substantive developmental knowledge for the student's career or personal goals. Up to 18 hours of CCAF credit may be transferred into this section.
Experiential Professional Development
Up to 12 semesters hours of credit may be earned through submission of 48 months or more of Enlisted Performance Reports (EPR). Experiential learning must be evaluated and approved by the university to ensure its relevance to the degree. Students with a completed CCAF should have sufficient time in grade to obtain full credit in this section.
Up to 9 semester hours of CCAF credit can be transferred into this section.

The American women competing at the WTA event in Birmingham, England, went a perfect 8-0 in first-round matches and won one of the handful of second round matches to be completed so far. Madison Keys, Alison Riske and CoCo Vandweghe are among the players who moved through.
Vandeweghe is leading the charge in Birmingham so far, defeating Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan on Monday, 6-4, 7-5, before prevailing on Tuesday against Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium, 5-7. 7-5. 6-1. This matches Vandeweghe's best result at a WTA event this year. The 22-year-old also reached the third round of the Sony Open in Miami.
No. 11 seed Keys had little trouble in her opening round, dispatching Teliana Pereira of Brazil, 6-3, 6-3. The talented teenager is a player to watch on the grass this year, having reached the quarterfinals of Birmingham and the third round of Wimbledon last year.
No. 15 seed Riske squeaked through a tough first set before easing through her first round against qualifier Lyudmila Kichenok of Ukraine, 7-6 (3), 6-3. The grass-court specialist has excelled in Birmingham before, reaching the semifinals in both 2010 and 2013, and also advancing to the third round of Wimbledon last year. Since last year's grass-court season, Riske's ranking has soared from No. 171 to a career-high of No. 40.
Qualifier Victoria Duval posted one of the biggest opening round upsets in her debut grass-court tournament as a professional, defeating No. 13 seed Caroline Garcia of France, 6-2, 6-4. In the last 12 months, the teenager's ranking has jumped more than 150 spots to her current career-high of No. 127.
Lauren Davis also posted an impressive first-round win by fighting through former Wimbledon quarterfinalist Tamira Paszek of Austria, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2. Varvara Lepchenko won the final eight games in her match against Alison Van Uytvanck of Belgium, easily moving into the second round, 6-4, 6-0. Christina McHale rounded out the perfect run for the Americans by defeating Monica Puig of Puerto Rico in the first round, 6-2, 6-4.
Irina Falconi also advanced through qualifying in Birmingham, but was forced to withdraw before her opening-round match in the main draw due to injury. No. 3 seed Sloane Stephens received a bye in the first round and will play her first match on Wednesday.

Practically Speaking
Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
Competition with government health care will keep em honest? Really?
Last week, President Obama sent a letter touting his government health care plan to 2 Senate Democrats stating, "This [his public health care option] will give (people) a better range of choices, make the health care market more competitive, and keep insurance companies honest."
Has government interference given Wisconsin residents more choices and made insurance carriers more competitive? In my opinion, no. Wisconsin mandates that certain benefits be included in all insurance policies sold in the state. Things like treatment for alcoholism and autism are mandated for all policies, I believe. But why should a tea-totaling person be required to purchase treatment for alcoholism? Why should a childless adult or parent of grown children be required to purchase insurance to cover Autism? Why can't we purchase health insurance policies from other states without these mandates?
I am not saying that those services shouldn't be offered as a choice. Just that if you want them, they should be an extra.
We don't purchase car insurance that way. If a driver has had an accident or violation, their rates usually go up. We have the choice to purchase collision insurance or not. Why can't we get more choices available for health insurance too?
Just thinking about other private businesses that compete with the government, is it the competition with the government that drives prices down or competition with each other?
Did DHL offer cheaper shipping prices than the post office because they were competing with the USPS or because they were competing with UPS and FedEx?
What about schools. As a rule, which is more expensive, public schools or private schools? Which one provides a better product? Does competition with public schools drive the cost down or "keep them honest" for the private? Does competition restrain the price for the public schools? Do you ever hear of a school board discussing that they need to keep costs down to remain competitive with say a school like, Heritage Christian School. (Their tuition is under $4,000 a year last time I checked.)
No, I believe private schools--parochial in particular--provide a cheaper, better alternative to government schools. Just ask the 1,000's of students cut from the School Choice program in our state, who enjoyed a superior education at a lower cost to taxpayers.
What happens when the national health care plan obtains subsidies and underwriting by the government that aren't available to the private sector? How is that type of competition fair and honest? Once the private sector insurers are out of business, do you really think the product offered will be superior to the private sector product? (If you are in doubt, just think of a private retirement annuity/investment plan vs. Social Security, where you pay a lot in but get little out.)
The President would like government-run health care to hit the Congress by August. What is the rush? Thankfully, Republican House Leader John Boehner is adamantly opposed.
President Obama was correct that competition keeps the cost down--it does in the private sector. However, that principle doesn't really work when the government provides the only choice.

The Shopbop studio stylists seem to wave a chic little wand and voila!—a limp tee and a rumpled pair of jeans transforms into something high voltage. What's the secret behind their stellar personal style? That's what we're here to find out. Meet Accessories Stylist Nina:
Suzanne: Your picture makes me want to go out and buy an infinity scarf! Are scarves your signature accessory? What are some cool, unexpected ways you've styled a scarf?
Nina: I have always been crazy about scarves. I actually have an entire drawer dedicated to them. I collect them everywhere I go, so yes, they are definitely my signature. I especially love dots and stripes; they pull my outfits together all the time. I often use scarves in my hair—knots on top, long scarf down my back. I also use vintage pins to keep a scarf hanging perfectly around my neck.
S: If you had to pick a designer that most closely aligns with your personal aesthetic, which would it be and why?
N: Boots are also a big part of my style: Frye, Golden Goose, and Jeffrey Campbell tie for my favorites. These brands tend to have some tougher-looking styles, but they are classic and durable enough to wear year after year.
S: Distressed combat boots are a huge fall trend, but their toughness can be tricky to pull off. Any advice for ensuring they look fashion-forward and still a little feminine?
N: The key is to not let the boots wear you. That basically means you have to let the boots be a part of you. If you don't want all the attention at your feet, accessorize! Statement jewelry is always a great way to bring feminine right back. When wearing tough footwear, pull one other bold item from your closet to balance it out—a great top or pair of leggings, a cocktail ring, etc.
S: I'm obsessed with the accessories pics in our Fall Obsessions! Tell me about the story and any other juicy tidbits from the shoot.
N: The story for Fall Obsessions was sort of an homage to the end-of-summer road trip, a weekend trip with friends to a small town where you won't find a five-star hotel, but you will find a great old kitschy motel. I was a big fan of the old neon motel sign shot with the Stuart Weitzman leopard pumps and the Lanvin sunglasses by the pool. I wish I had some dirt to share, but with twenty shots in an afternoon you yearn to jump in the pool, but alas you cannot.
S: It seems most women have one special accessory that's their prized possession. Do you have one beloved piece?
N: I have had many over the years, but I swear after I call something my favorite, I lose it. Terrible, right? I am a sucker for large silver rings old and new. My favorites right now are one I found in the bottom of a box at a flea market fifteen years ago and my newest find: the Elizabeth and James Pollen Ring.
Nina Wears:
* Scarf: Brochu Walker
* Tee: Velvet
* Jeans: Calvin Klein
* Ring: Elizabeth and James
* Cuff: JADEtribe
* Boots: Jeffrey Campbell

Not perfect
"These are comfortable as far as flats go, but they have continually rubbed my feet around the front of the vamp and near the ankles. They also scuff quite easily but the scuffs aren't very noticeable unless you inspect closely. The fit is true to size, maybe slightly long but not enough to size up, and quite wide as flats tend to be. They look really great so I would still recommend them and wear them - just have some band-aids ready in case they rub you as well!"

Stormy skies and the glare of the nearly full moon may have spoiled our view of December's Geminids meteor shower but Utahns will get another chance to view a meteor shower when January's Quadrantids reaches its predicted peak during the early morning hours of Jan. 3.
According to NASA Solar System Ambassador to Utah Patrick Wiggins, "During the time of the peak, observers located away from city light pollution may see more than 100 meteors per hour." And as a bonus, the peak occurs when the moon is not in the sky, making rural skies even darker, increasing chances of a good show.
Now if only the weather will cooperate.
The Quadrantids and most other showers are best observed between midnight and sunrise as it's at that time the observer's place on Earth is more directly facing the oncoming meteoroid swarm.
Meteor showers get their names from the constellation from which the meteors appear. For example August's Perseids seem to pour out of the constellation Perseus and December's Geminids from Gemini. The same applies to the Quadrantids however their ancient constellation, Quadrans Muralis is no longer recognized.
"Many people call meteors falling stars or shooting stars," says Wiggins. "They're actually tiny specks of rock that burn up and turn to ash when they slam into the Earth's extreme upper atmosphere."
Telescopes and binoculars should not be used to view this or any meteor shower because they so severely restrict the observer's field of view. Wiggins notes that his favorite winter meteor observing equipment consists of nothing more than a lawn chair, sleeping bag and something hot to drink.
Some "Quads" may also be seen the morning before and the morning after the peak but their numbers will almost certainly be far fewer.
For additional astronomical information log on to Wiggins' Solar System Ambassador web site at http://utahastro.info.
