Beautiful Prada Shoe
"Hello fellow Prada shoe lovers. This flat was the first pair of Prada's that I have purchased. I normally wear a size 8 in shoes. But not knowing how these shoes would run (I read some notes online which stated that Prada's tend to run a half size to small) I ordered one in a size 8 and one in an 8 1/2. This is not an easy thing to do when the shoe is $499! But since the quantity left in stock was low I went ahead and ordered both sizes. The shoes arrived and I eagerly tried them on. I found that the 8 1/2 was to large and about fell off my foot. The 8 fit perfectly. It is a little snug in the toe area but it's new and leather so I know it will stretch a bit to match my foot once the shoes are actually worn. The length was perfect and the shoe did not slip at all. Very comfortable fit and, as far as my foot, true to size.This shoe is beautiful and you can tell from the moment you open the box you can see the quality of the shoes and how well made they are. To me - they are worth the money I spent."

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:55 PM GMT on August 25, 2011
Back in 1938, long before satellites, radar, the hurricane hunters, and the modern weather forecasting system, the great New England hurricane of 1938 roared northwards into Long Island, New York at 60 mph, pushing a storm surge more than 15 feet high to the coast. Hundreds of Americans died in this greatest Northeast U.S. hurricane on record, the only Category 3 storm to hit the Northeast since the 1800s. Since 1938, there have been a number of significant hurricanes in the Northeast--the Great Atlantic hurricane of 1944, Hazel of 1954, Diane of 1955, Donna of 1960, Gloria of 1985, Bob of 1991, and Floyd of 1999--but none of these were as formidable as the great 1938 storm. Today, we have a hurricane over the Bahamas--Hurricane Irene--that threatens to be the Northeast's most dangerous storm since the 1938 hurricane. We've all been watching the computer models, which have been steadily moving their forecast tracks for Irene more to the east--first into Florida, then Georgia, then South Carolina, then North Carolina, then offshore of North Carolina--and it seemed that this storm would do what so many many storms have done in the past, brush the Outer Banks of North Carolina, then head out to sea. Irene will not do that. Irene will likely hit Eastern North Carolina, but the storm is going northwards after that, and may deliver an extremely destructive blow to the mid-Atlantic and New England states. I am most concerned about the storm surge danger to North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and the rest of the New England coast. Irene is capable of inundating portions of the coast under 10 - 15 feet of water, to the highest storm surge depths ever recorded. I strongly recommend that all residents of the mid-Atlantic and New England coast familiarize themselves with their storm surge risk. The best source of that information is the National Hurricane Center's Interactive Storm Surge Risk Map, which allows one to pick a particular Category hurricane and zoom in to see the height above ground level a worst-case storm surge may go. If you prefer static images, use wunderground's Storm Surge Inundation Maps. If these tools indicate you may be at risk, consult your local or state emergency management office to determine if you are in a hurricane evacuation zone. Mass evacuations of low-lying areas along the entire coast of New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia are at least 50% likely to be ordered by Saturday. The threat to the coasts of New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine is less certain, but evacuations may be ordered in those states, as well. Irene is an extremely dangerous storm for an area that has no experience with hurricanes, and I strongly urge you to evacuate from the coast if an evacuation is ordered by local officials. My area of greatest concern is the coast from Ocean City, Maryland, to Atlantic City, New Jersey. It is possible that this stretch of coast will receive a direct hit from a slow-moving Category 2 hurricane hitting during the highest tide of the month, bringing a 10 - 15 foot storm surge.

Irene a Category 3 over the Bahamas, headed northwest
Hurricane Irene tore through the Bahama Islands overnight, bringing hurricane-force winds, torrential rains, and storm surge flooding to Crooked Island, Long Island, Rum Cay, and Cat Island, which all took a terrific pounding. Eleuthera and Abaco Island will receive the full force of Irene's eyewall today, but the eyewall will miss capital of Nassau. Winds there were sustained at 41 mph, gusting to 66 mph so far this morning, and I expect these winds will rise to 50 - 55 mph later today. Wunderblogger MIke Theiss is in Nassau, and will be sending live updates through the day today. Winds on Grand Bahama Island in Freeport will rise above tropical storm force late Thursday morning, and increase to a peak of 45 - 55 mph late Thursday afternoon. Grand Bahama will also miss the brunt of the storm. Irene is visible on Miami long-range radar, and the outer bands of the hurricane are bringing rain to Southeast Florida this morning.
Irene is currently undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle, where the inner eyewall collapses, and a new outer eyewall forms from a spiral band. During this process, the hurricane may weaken slightly, and it may take the rest of today for a new eyewall to fully form. Satellite imagery shows a lopsided pattern to Irene, with less cloud cover on the storm's southwest side. This is due to upper level winds from the southwest creating about 10 - 20 knots of wind shear along the storm's southwest side. We can hope that the shear will be strong enough to inject some dry air into the core of Irene and significantly weaken it today, but I put the odds of that happening at only 10%. The most likely scenario is that Irene will complete its eyewall replacement cycle later today or on Friday, then begin intensifying again. Wind shear is expected to stay moderate, 10 - 20 knots, for the next three days, ocean temperatures are a very warm 29°C, and Irene has an upper-level high pressure system on top of it, to aid upper-level outflow. None of our intensity forecast models show Irene growing to Category 4 strength, though the last 4 runs of the ECMWF global model--our best model for forecasting track--have intensified Irene to a Category 4 hurricane with a 912 - 920 mb pressure as it crosses over Eastern North Carolina.
Track forecast for Irene
The models have edged their tracks westwards in the last cycle of runs, and there are no longer any models suggesting that Irene will miss hitting the U.S. The threat to eastern North Carolina has increased, with several of our top models now suggesting a landfall slightly west of the Outer Banks is likely, near Morehead City. After making landfall on the North Carolina coast Saturday afternoon or evening, Irene is likely to continue almost due north, bringing hurricane conditions to the entire mid-Atlantic coast, from North Carolina to Long Island, New York. This makes for a difficult forecast, since a slight change in Irene's track will make a huge difference in where hurricane conditions will be felt. If Irene stays inland over eastern North Carolina, like the ECMWF and GFDL models are predicting, this will knock down the storm's strength enough so that it may no longer be a hurricane once it reaches New Jersey. On the other hand, if Irene grazes the Outer Banks and continues northwards into New Jersey, like the GFS model is predicting, this could easily be a Category 2 hurricane for New Jersey and Category 1 hurricane for New York City. A more easterly track into Long Island would likely mean a Category 2 landfall there.
Category 2 landfalls may not sound that significant, since Hurricane Bob of 1991 made landfall over Rhode Island as a Category 2, and did only $1.5 billion in damage (1991 dollars), killing 17. But Irene is a far larger and more dangerous storm than Bob. The latest wind analysis from NOAA/HRD puts Irene's storm surge danger at 4.8 on a scale of 0 to 6, equivalent to a borderline Category 3 or 4 hurricane's storm surge. Bob had a much lower surge potential, due to its smaller size, and the fact it was moving at 32 mph when it hit land. Irene will be moving much slower, near 18 mph, which will give it more time to pile up a big storm surge. The slower motion also means Irene's surge will last longer, and be more likely to be around during high tide. Sunday is a new moon, and tides will be at their highest levels of the month during Sunday night's high tide cycle. Tides at The Battery in New York City (Figure 3) will be a full foot higher than they were during the middle of August. Irene will expand in size as it heads north, and we should expect its storm surge to be one full Saffir-Simpson Category higher than the winds would suggest.
Figure 2. Predicted tides for the south shore of New York City's Manhattan Island at The Battery for Sunday, August 28 and Monday, August 29. High tide is near 8pm EDT Sunday night. Tidal range between low and high tide is 6 feet on Sunday, the highest range so far this month. A storm surge of 10 feet would thus be 10 feet above Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW, the lowest tide of the year), but 16 feet over this mark if it came at high tide. Image credit: NOAA Tides and Currents.
Irene's storm surge potentially extremely dangerous for the mid-Atlantic coast
Irene's large size, slow motion, arrival at high tide, and Category 3 strength at landfall in North Carolina will likely drive a storm surge of 8 - 10 feet into the heads of bays in Pamlico Sound, and 3 - 6 feet in Albemarle Sound. As the storm progresses northwards, potential storm surge heights grow due to the shape of the coast and depth of the ocean, though the storm will be weakening. If Irene is a Category 1 storm as it crosses into Virginia, it can send a storm surge of 4 - 8 feet into Chesapeake Bay and Norfolk. I give a 50% chance that the surge from Irene in those locations will exceed the record surges observed in 2003 during Hurricane Isabel. The region I am most concerned about, though, is the stretch of coast running from southern Maryland to Central New Jersey, including Delaware and the cities of Ocean City and Atlantic City. A Category 1 hurricane can bring a storm surge of 5 - 9 feet here. Irene's large size, slow movement, and arrival at the highest tide of the month could easily bring a surge one Category higher than the storm's winds might suggest, resulting in a Category 2 type inundation along the coast, near 10 - 15 feet. This portion of the coast has no hurricane experience, and loss of life could be heavy if evacuation orders are not heeded. I give a 30% chance that the storm surge from Irene will bring water depths in excess of 10 feet to the coasts of Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey.
Figure 3. The height above ground that a mid-strength Category 2 hurricane with 100 mph winds would push a storm surge along the Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey coasts in a worst-case scenario. The image was generated using the primary computer model used by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) to forecast storm surge--the Sea, Lake, and Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model. The accuracy of the SLOSH model is advertised as plus or minus 20%. This "Maximum Water Depth" image shows the water depth at each grid cell of the SLOSH domain. Thus, if you are inland at an elevation of ten feet above mean sea level, and the combined storm surge and tide (the "storm tide") is fifteen feet at your location, the water depth image will show five feet of inundation. This Maximum of the "Maximum Envelope of Waters" (MOM) image was generated for high tide and is a composite of the maximum storm surge found for dozens of individual runs of different Category 2 storms with different tracks. Thus, no single storm will be able to cause the level of flooding depicted in this SLOSH storm surge image. Consult our Storm Surge Inundation Maps page for more storm surge images of the mid-Atlantic coast.
Figure 4. The height above ground that a mid-strength Category 2 hurricane with 100 mph winds would push a storm surge along the New Jersey coast in a worst-case scenario. Water depths could reach 6 - 8 feet above ground level in Ocean City and Atlantic City, and up to 16 feet along less populated sections of the coast.
Irene's storm surge may flood New York City's subway system
The floodwalls protecting Manhattan are only five feet above mean sea level. During the December 12, 1992 Nor'easter, powerful winds from the 990 mb storm drove an 8-foot storm surge into the Battery Park on the south end of Manhattan. The ocean poured over the city's seawall for several hours, flooding the NYC subway and the Port Authority Trans-Hudson Corporation (PATH) train systems in Hoboken New Jersey. FDR Drive in lower Manhattan was flooded with 4 feet of water, which stranded more than 50 cars and required scuba divers to rescue some of the drivers. Mass transit between New Jersey and New York was down for ten days, and the storm did hundreds of millions in damage to the city. Tropical Storm Floyd of 1999 generated a storm surge just over 3 feet at the Battery, but the surge came at low tide, and did not flood Manhattan. The highest water level recorded at the Battery in the past century came in September 1960 during Hurricane Donna, which brought a storm surge of 8.36 feet to the Battery and flooded lower Manhattan to West and Cortland Streets. However, the highest storm surge on record in New York City occurred during the September 3, 1821 hurricane, the only hurricane ever to make a direct hit on the city. The water rose 13 feet in just one hour at the Battery, and flooded lower Manhattan as far north as Canal Street, an area that now has the nation's financial center. The total surge is unknown from this greatest New York City hurricane, which was probably a Category 2 storm with 110 mph winds. NOAA's SLOSH model predicts that a mid-strength Category 2 hurricane with 100-mph winds could drive a 15 - 20 foot storm surge to Manhattan, Queens, Kings, and up the Hudson River. JFK airport could be swamped, southern Manhattan would flood north to Canal Street, and a surge traveling westwards down Long Island Sound might breach the sea walls that protect La Guardia Airport. Many of the power plants that supply the city with electricity might be knocked out, or their docks to supply them with fuel destroyed. The more likely case of a Category 1 hurricane hitting at high tide would still be plenty dangerous, with waters reaching 8 - 12 feet above ground level in Lower Manhattan. Given the spread in the models, I predict a 20% chance that New York City will experience a storm surge in excess of 8 feet that will over-top the flood walls in Manhattan and flood the subway system. This would most likely occur near 8 pm Sunday night, when high tide will occur and Irene should be near its point of closest approach. Such a storm surge could occur even if Irene weakens to a tropical storm on its closest approach to New York City.

Figure 6. Flooded runways at New York's La Guardia Airport after the November 25, 1950 Nor'easter breached the dikes guarding the airport. Sustained easterly winds of up to 62 mph hit the airport, pushing a large storm surge up Long Island Sound. The storm's central pressure bottomed out at 978 mb.

The rest of New England
The entire New England coast is at high danger of receiving its highest storm surge in the past 50 years from Irene, though the exact locations of most danger remain unclear. If North Carolina takes a bullet for us and reduces Irene below hurricane strength before the storm reaches New England, the surge will probably not cause major destruction. But if Irene misses North Carolina and arrives along the New England coast as a hurricane, the storm surge is likely to cause significant damage. I urge everyone along the coast to familiarize themselves with their storm surge risk and be prepared to evacuate should an evacuation order be issued.
For those of you wanting to know your odds of receiving hurricane force or tropical storm force winds, I recommend the NHC wind probability product.
Wunderground has detailed storm surge maps for the U.S. coast.
The National Hurricane Center's Interactive Storm Surge RIsk Map, which allows one to pick a particular Category hurricane and zoom in, is a good source of storm surge risk information.
Wunderblogger Mike Theiss is in Nassau, and will be sending live updates through the day today.
Landstrike is an entertaining fictional account of a Category 4 hurricane hitting New York City.
Elsewhere in the tropics
Tropical Depression Ten in the far Eastern Atlantic will not be a threat to any land areas over the next seven days, and will probably move too far north to ever be a threat to land.
Portlight mobilizes for Irene
The Bahamas have been hit hard by Irene, and unfortunately, it appears that the Northeast U.S. may have its share of hurricane victims before Irene finally dissipates. My favorite disaster relief charity, Portlight.org, is mobilizing to help, and is sending out their relief trailer and crew to the likely U.S. landfall point.

Red Sox owner John Henry is declining to comment on a published report that he's close to selling the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.
Henry purchased the paper, along with the Boston Globe, from the New York Times Company in a deal that closed last month.
"The word on the street is that they have been dressing up the T&G, getting its financials in order for a sale. And that had been going on for a few weeks," says the Boston Business Journal's Craig Douglas. But what we've heard is that a buyer or buyers have emerged and that – really – the finishing touches on a deal are being worked out right now."
Henry has yet to comment publicly on his plans for the Telegram & Gazette, and a spokesperson declined comment Monday.
Earlier this month, a group of Central Massachusetts lawmakers sent a letter to Henry, asking him to give the Telegram & Gazette some of the same attention he has given to the Boston Globe.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Now that the Geno Smith era officially began Thursday gainst the New England Patriots, former New York Jets quarterback Vinny Testaverde underscored a pair of blessings "in disguise'' after news that Mark Sanchez needs surgery to repair a dislocated throwing shoulder.
Testaverde empathized with a "tough setback'' for Sanchez, but the former Jets quarterback noted how Sanchez's confidence can benefit from time away from increasingly negative news media and fan scrutiny.
What's more, Testaverde cited how any potentially divisive quarterback controversy just disappeared for coach Rex Ryan's team.
"It's a tough setback for Mark, especially being a starting quarterback and there was a competition and you're not able to perform and you basically lose your starting position because of injury -- it's tough,'' Testaverde told USA TODAY Sports before Thursday night's Jets game against the New England Patriots.
"But at the end of the day for him, it might be a blessing in disguise. It doesn't seem like it at this moment, but now Mark can sit back and not listen to all the media."
SANCHEZ NEEDS SURGERY: Jets career all but over
Testaverde added: "And maybe for the team, as well, it's a blessing in disguise, because they don't have to listen to all the controversy about who should be the starting quarterback.
WEEK 2 PICKS: Our experts weigh in
"Now all is quiet on that front. And they can just focus on football and not worry about all the attention being focused on the quarterback spot.''
Sanchez injured his shoulder after Ryan inserted him to play behind scrubs late in a costly Week 3 preseason overtime win against the New York Giants.
Though Sanchez said Thursday he will try to rehab his dislocated right shoulder, a person close to him told USA TODAY Sports that Sanchez eventually will need surgery on the shoulder, and it's likely to land him on injured reserve and end his season and Jets career.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Jets had not addressed Sanchez's diagnosis or treatment.
Sanchez was examined Wednesday by orthopedist James Andrews, who laid out the options and told Sanchez surgery was the best bet to get healthy, the person said.
Testaverde worked with Smith as a part-time instructor, assisting IMG Academy quarterback guru Chris Weinke in Bradenton, Fla., this spring. He said he was not surprised by the poise Smith showed late in the Jets' improbable 18-17 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Smith threw for 256 yards and a touchdown, overcoming an interception and fumble in leading two fourth-quarter drives to field goals.
The unlikely win came courtesy of Tampa Bay linebacker Lavonte David's personal foul. He shoved Smith, who was clearly a step out of bounds as he scrambled to the Tampa Bay 45-yard line. The penalty set up Nick Folk's game-winning field goal with two seconds left.
"Geno adds something special to the team,'' Testaverde said. "To his credit, he got off to a good start. Whenever you draft a quarterback, you never know how they're going to react to playing for the first time.
"Are they going to have that deer-in-the-headlights look? Or are they going to perform like an NFL player out there? He's handled everything on the field and off that goes along with being a top pick for an organization that always seems to be in the media spotlight.''
Testaverde, 49, who is helping coach a high school team near his Tampa home, also worked this spring with Tim Tebow, helping the fellow Heisman Trophy winner correct some mechanical flaws.
Testaverde said he hasn't heard from Tebow in a couple of months and thinks he's "somewhere working hard'' in a bid to get another NFL opportunity.
Testaverde hopes a second chance will come from the Patriots, because Tebow could continue working under the tutelage of quarterback Tom Brady, coach Bill Belichick and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.
But failing that, Testaverde agrees with quarterback instructor Steve Clarkson, who told USA TODAY Sports after Tebow's release two weeks ago that Tebow's best option might be playing against live competition in the Canadian Football League. That might be his best path back to the NFL, Testaverde said.

That mark fell after seven days.
Led by Griff Robles (Spanish Fork, UT/Spanish Fork) and Myles Burton (Berkeley, CA/Rodriguez), the Red Storm racked up 333 yards on the ground en route to a 39-12 victory over Simon Fraser in Great Northwest Athletic Conference at Hansen Stadium.
DSU claimed its second consecutive victory to improve to 2-3 on the season, 2-2 in the GNAC.
Robles, fresh off 411 total yards against the Jacks a week ago, tallied another 427 yards against the Clan (2-2). The senior quarterback led Dixie State to scores on the team's first three drives. He found Randon Willard (Santa Clara, UT/Snow Canyon) on a slant pass for a nine-yard score capping an eight-play, 85-yard drive. Robles then ran up the gut of the Clan defense for 15 yards and a score to make the score 13-0. The lead pushed to 19-0 on the first play of the 2nd quarter when Robles connected with Joe Don Duncan (Corona, CA/Notre Dame) from 11 yards out.
Dixie State increased the lead to 25-0 at the break when the combo of Robles and Willard struck again – a seven-yard play with a stellar spinning catch in the middle of the end zone. During the DSU scoring string, the Storm defense held the nation's 17th-ranked passing offense at bay. Simon Fraser was held to four straight drives of three-and-outs, followed by a third-down interception on the subsequent drive by Jake Duncan (Corona, CA/Notre Dame).
Robles led the 14-point charge in the 3rd quarter – a 34-yard run for a TD early and a 48-yard pitch and catch to Duncan – to make the score 39-0. The signal caller would not play the in the fourth quarter after accumulating 251 passing yards (13-27, 4 TD) and a career-best 176 yards rushing (2 TD).
Burton carried the ball 16 times for 127 yards. He and Robles became the first duo to rush for over 100 yards in a game since Dixie State became an NCAA school in 2006.
DSU's 584 yards of total offense fell one yard shy of a single-game high – set against Central Washington on Oct. 6, 2012.
Linebackers Robert Metz (Tucson, AZ/Canyon Del Oro) and Duncan led the Dixie State defense with eight tackles each. Saula Taufa (Manti, UT/Manti) recorded his first career interception in the third quarter.
Simon Fraser avoided the shutout with a rushing touchdown from Steven Spagnuolo (two yards) and a TD catch by Tore Corrado from Mitchell Rushton.
Casey Chin paced the Clan defense with his third straight game of 12 tackles.
Dixie State makes a trip to Ellensburg, Wash., visiting one of the GNAC co-leaders – the Wildcats of CWU. Kickoff from Tomlinson Stadium is at 1 p.m. Pacific (2 p.m. Mountain) with live radio coverage on ESPN SportsRadio 106.1 FM.

Back of The Net: tasty morsels of football nourishment by Aaron› 22 Feb 2013
After a week in which there's been a decent amount of football to watch every day, and with more to come for the foreseeable future, it's fair to say that we've deep into the 'business end' of the season. Indeed, here in the UK one of the first pieces of silverware is up for grabs this weekend, and with it comes one of the finest underdog stories of many a year. Swansea vs Bradford in the League Cup Final is a game that no one could've predicted, but any right-thinking fan will enjoy - when a club has the Dalai Lama lending them his support, you know you're on the right track.
David Conn at The Guardian can often be found digging up some of the murkier stories around the game, but it seems that Bradford's unlikely route to the final has brought out his sunnier side, with this heartwarming story of how the club's season has also brought a unity to the city's population - a terrific story of just how powerful football can be.
We've talked many times about how football can cross over into other cultures, with some great and some terrible results, but thankfully this week we're simply bringing two great examples to your attention. Creating great football-inspired graphics seems to be really popular at the moment, but these prints from the Surrey-based Print Process stand out from the crowd. Using a simple but effective way of capturing the essence of iconic football grounds, they only lose points for the lack of one particular, Lancashire-based ground that was home to the world's first double-winning team in their repertoire. Hmmmm....
Our other mix of football and culture couldn't be more different. Everyone's heard of, and complained about, the FIFA rankings, but have you ever tried to eat your way through them? That's the idea behind eatFIFA, a blog chronicling the efforts of one group of ambitious/foolish fans to eat their way through the cuisine of every country on the fabled list. Sounds like a great idea when you think of Spain, Brazil and Italy, becomes a little bit more daunting when you consider the amount of Eastern European states they will have to wade through and the sheer fact that there's 209 teams on the list. Good luck with that!
Back to more on-pitch action, and German football seems to really be in the spotlight at the moment - their teams have shone in Europe, and the Bundesliga highlights are now recorded on a regular basis here in the Umbro office. But what's the best way to keep track of Germany's top league? The Bundesliga Lounge is a goldmine of info and opinion on the league, essential for anyone who wants some insight on the relegation battle or to simply swot up on the stats in order to impress friends/colleagues/potential partners.
Finally, we return to an old favourite who has possible shared their finest moment with us this week. Have you ever witnessed a goal, and been lost for a way to describe the particular way in which the ball hit the back of the net? Well, search no more, because Football Cliches have come up with 101 ways to score a goal, a mammoth encyclopedia of terms that includes everything from a howitzer to the slightest of touches. Essential reading for anyone looking to distract themselves this Friday afternoon, and superb inspiration for a lunchtime FIFA marathon here in the office. Top work.

With all their different classes and other in-school and extracurricular responsibilities, it can be tough for a teen to stay organized. They've got their lockers at school, but it's a good idea to give them some convenient storage at home too. PBteen has a wide variety of bookcases and shelving systems that will help your kid stay organized. You can purchase a pre-configured shelving system or mix and match pieces to create the right configuration that works best for your needs. From clean, simple modern designs to shelves with a more traditional flair, our bookshelves and wall shelves will be right at home in your teen's bedroom or lounge area. From school books and papers to magazines, decor and various odds and ends, our bookcases and shelves can hold it all. We can't promise a complete introduction of order to the chaos of your average teenage bedroom, but we can at least help you and your kid make a step in the right direction.
If your kid has a lot of stuff to contend with, add some of our storage bins and baskets to your shelving system for an extra level of organization. These are handy for storing everything from extra clothes and accessories to art supplies and tech equipment. Adding some baskets will help give the shelving extra polish, and we've got plenty of options that coordinate well with our bedding and room decor collections. You can mix and match different colors and patterns or stick with a single cohesive theme. Either option will work well with our bookshelves and wall shelves, which are available in neutral colors such as white and dark espresso.
In addition to providing a practical storage element, our bookcases and shelves allow teens to display the things that matter most to them, from pictures of friends to treasured jewelry and other mementoes and keepsakes. You'll be giving your kid the opportunity to display his priorities in a way that says something about who he is. A bookish kid may choose to line his favorite books up on a prominent shelf, while an athlete may choose to arrange her trophies and medals at eye level. And thanks to the quality of our furniture pieces, these bookshelves can be part of your kids' furniture collections for years to come, accompanying them to college or a first apartment with ease.
Our shelves and bookcases also provide a handy place for storing smartphone and tablet accessories, which are a big part of most kids' lives these days. We offer a variety of different mobile tech accessories that are attractive enough to display, adding yet another element of convenience and organization to your teen's room. Our teen bookshelf options can also work well as entertainment centers that pair with a wall-mounted or self-supporting flatscreen TV, providing a complete combination of wall decor, organization and tech display for a bedroom, lounge area or study. You'll be able to give your kid a full living room setup without sacrificing style and quality.
If floor space is at a premium, you can pair one of our shorter bookshelves or cube storage units with our Style Tile bulletin board systems. These mix-and-match wall storage and decor units provide surfaces such as cork board and chalk or dry-erase boards to allow for an additional element of organization and responsibility. It's easy to create a complete storage and organization system by combining our bookshelves and wall shelves with Style Tiles and other clever solutions for your teen's room or suite. Don't let labels limit your creativity and ingenuity. Even our closet organization products may provide some good solutions for taming the beast that is a teenager's personal living space.

Man arrested after Blountville shooting
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - A man is in jail facing attempted murder charges after a Sunday afternoon shooting.
The Sullivan County Sheriff's Department says 36-year-old Antonio Johnson of Kingsport is charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault.
Police were called to a home on Harr Town Road in Blountville around 2:30 Sunday afternoon.
Witnesses tell police a fight broke out between Johnson and a relative of his girlfriend.
According to the sheriff's department, as Johnson was leaving the home he fired at least two shots from his vehicle in the direction of the victim. We're told the victim then returned fire.
Three other people were outside the home at the time the incident occurred. No one was injured.
Police arrested Johnson after stopping his car on South John B. Dennis Highway in Kingsport.
A handgun recovered from the suspect's vehicle came back as being stolen out of Johnson City.
Johnson has been charged with attempted murder and three counts of aggravated assault.
The investigation is ongoing and more charges are pending.

Virgin Blue To Move Into Sydney T206/11/2002
Low Fare Airline Settles On Terms Comparable To April Agreement
Airline Announces Tender For International Services
Virgin Blue announced today it will move into the T2 Sydney Airport Terminal on terms which will allow the airline to keep delivering the lowest airfares possible to the Australian public.
After extensive talks over recent weeks, a binding agreement was signed today that produces an outcome for the low fare carrier comparable to that which it hoped to confirm through legal action.
Key terms include:
A 17 year Anchor tenancy agreement to allow Virgin Blue to remain in a firm competitive position vs. Qantas
Annual charges comparable to those negotiated in April by Virgin Blue, allowing the airline to maintain its commitment to affordable travel for all Australians.
The low fare airline being allowed to use its own IT systems that is now the standard of the world's leading low fare carriers.
Virgin Blue will also continue using its own baggage systems that help to avoid the risk that bags might get lost in the global airline network.
Virgin Blue has priority over the first 6 gates in Pier A and access to an additional 6 gates to facilitate the airline's growth.
Branding consistent to what has been negotiated at other major airports.
No need for Virgin Blue Guests to board a bus to get to their aircraft
Virgin Group Chairman, Richard Branson said, "I am truly glad this contentious issue is now put aside as it will allow us to focus 100% on what we do best, looking after our Guests with the most modern aircraft, the best on time performance, superlative crew and now finally, fantastic facilities at every airport."
He continued, "Our team at Sydney Airport has worked tirelessly over recent months to ensure that Guests were looked after as best they could be under very difficult circumstances. We are hugely thankful for the patience and understanding of our staff and the many tens of thousands of Guests who have stood firm in their support of Virgin Blue."
Virgin Blue CEO Brett Godfrey added "This is a victory for the Australian travelling public as it means vastly improved facilities out of Sydney Airport without any fare increase. It will allow Virgin Blue to fast track its fleet expansion plans and concentrate on exciting future opportunities including being able to offer many more low fares.
The move to the T2 will mean more flights, more jobs and a more convenient travelling experience to and from Sydney Airport. Furthermore it will underpin and facilitate Virgin Blue's continued growth plans in the coming years."
The airline plans to move into the facility by mid December or as soon as it can be wired with the state of the art Open Skies check-in, departure control and baggage systems that Virgin Blue operates throughout the country.
With access now favourably resolved at Sydney Airport, Virgin Blue can channel its resources into the international arena. Today Richard Branson launches a tender document to solicit interest to help select the carrier's first regional Pacific destinations.

Go up a full size.
"Like the other reviewers I found this espadrille to rub where the straps attach on the inside front, but got "moleskin" at CVS and put it on the inside to fix it. Also, I actually have the same shoe in several colors and took a size 8, but in this color I needed to go up to a 9 to be comfortable. The length isn't different, but the width and comfort on the instep were better. Also, the strap didn't rub as much (but was fine with the fix).For shoes made in Spain, you can't beat the price."

By PAUL L. YOUNGSt. George
In my 88 year life span I felt that I had seen everything, heard everything, that would be moments I would consider highlights in my life. But Sept. 5 this year I met a veteran near my age, Veteran Dick Werner of St. George. He stated, "Paul you should sign up for the Veterans trip going back to Washington D.C. leaving the Hill Air Force Base on Sept. 13 and arriving back at Hill Air Force Bill on Sept. 16.
I signed up and joined Glen and Barbara Bagley, Rob and Jacqueline Bishop, Sue Elliot, Herman Ferdinando, Barbara Jacobson, Mahon Kid, Bill Nicolas, Doyle and Camilla Ohlwiler, Clayton Ramsay and his son Jay Ramsay, Warren Smith and his son-in-law Steve Rockwell, Ray and Afton Stapley, Mary Thacker, Dick and Barbara Werner, Jay Williams, Robert and Marva Wood, and my wife LaRean C. Young. These were the 16 World War II Veterans from Washington County.
At the Hill Air Force Base we joined 228 other veterans and their wives or relatives making a total of 244 Utah Veterans, from age 79-91 years of age. That same group of people Tom Brokaw wrote about, Americas Greatest Generation.
All on one plane, after a great send off program, we flew to Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, D.C. With a Crossed Sword and Red Carpet greeting. To keep this letter short we saw all those important sights and memorials in the night time then reviewed them in the daylight. It was very, very good.
But the best part of the entire trip and gained my highest admiration was the timing, co-ordination, pre-planning putting this all together, then pulling it off with perfection. Not one glitch, not even a minute mistake. All the veterans give our heart felt thanks to the committee members who are: Judy Lemmons, Clinton; Mike and Emily Mecham, Payson; Kim Christofferson, Spanish Fork; Ryan Lind, Santaquin; Keith Hall, Orem; and Keven Boughten, American Fork. This group pre-planned this trip and pulled it off beyond perfection.
Thanks for the patient, kind love, tenderness, thoughtfulness you continually gave us Old Last Gaspers. Last, but not the least, our praise, thanks and humble gratitude to the Patriot Guard of Utah and their two lines holding 70 flags. To all of them I gave a salute and a hand shake and a hug. To you male guard members I can never ever recall receiving tighter hugs than your wives or girlfriends gave me and those that had tears in their eyes when I stepped back. The hugs and the tears were indeed the frosting on the cake.
God be with you till we meet again.

1. PEZ was invented in Austria by a man named Edward Haasand. He named PEZ after the German world "peppermint." It was an adult breath mint that he decided to market as an alternative for smoking. In 1952 PEZ wanted to expand their sales, so they set their sights on the U.S.A. To make their product more appealing to Americans, they placed heads on the dispensers and marketed it for children.
2. The melting point of cocoa butter is just below the human body temperature -- which is why it literally melts in your mouth.
3. Candy Corn was invented in 1880 by George Renninger of the Wunderlee Candy Co. The three colors of the candy are meant to mimic corn. Each piece is approximately the size of a whole kernel of corn, as if it fell off a ripe or dried ear of corn. The secret ingredient is marshmallows..that is what makes them so soft! It remains one of the best selling Halloween candies of all times.
4. Candy was used as an offering to the gods of ancient Egypt. Honey was used as the sweetener until the introduction of sugar in medieval Europe. Among the oldest types of candies are licorice and ginger from the Far East and marzipan from Europe. Candy making did not begin on a large scale until the early 19th century, when with the development of special candy making machinery it became a British specialty. In the United States the candy industry began to grow rapidly during the mid-19th century with the invention of improved machinery and a cheaper process for powdering sugar. In 1911 the first candy bars were sold in baseball parks; by 1960 candy bars made up almost half of all U.S. candy production.
5. Chewing Gum became an important part of American culture and is often associated with being the catalyst behind the vending business. Early chewing gums were a challenge as they were hard to chew and the flavor, if any, lasted a very short time.
6. Circus peanuts date to the 1800s when they were a seasonal treat and one of the original penny candies. No one knows how circus peanuts got their shape and name or how they long they've been around. One theory is that they originated with the traveling circuses where vendors sold salted peanuts and candy. Spangler Candy Co., is one of the few remaining makers of circus peanuts. People can't wrap their brains around circus peanuts, because they are orange and look like peanuts, they taste like banana. And they are chewier than a traditional marshmallow. Even those who like circus peanuts can't agree whether they are better soft and fresh or stale and hard after sitting out for a week.
7. Flashback of the Candy from the 1980's: 1980's - Atomic Fire Balls, Bit-o-Honey, Bubblicious Radical Red, Candy Necklace, Candy Cigarettes, Charleston Chew Chocolate, Lemonheads, Wonka Tart 'n Tiny, Bubble Gum Cigarettes, Pixy Stix, Ass't Saf'T'Pops, Jawbusters, Now & Later-Grape, Now & Later, Wax Fangs, Wax Bottles, Clark Bar, Laffy Taffy Watermelon, Bottlecaps, Zours, Astro Pops & Cinnamon Toothpicks.
8. OK,OK I will give some of you hippi's the candy form the 1970's: Rocky Road Milk Chocolate Bar, Clark Bar, Pixy Stix, Tart 'N Tiny, Gold Rock Nugget Bubble Gum, Goobers, Bubble Gum Cigar, Charms Assorted Squares, Lik-M-Aid Fun Dip, Bubble Gum Cigarettes, Wonka Strawberry/Banana Laffy Taffy, Slo-Poke Jr. Suckers, C. Howard Lemon Mints, Boston Beans, Cherryheads, Red Licorice Pipes, Willy Wonka Chocolate Bar, Necco Chocolate Wafers, Sugar Lips Wax Chewing Gum, Double Bubble Bubble Gum, Candy Buttons, Caramel Bun Bar, Charms Sweet & Sour Pops, Razzles Candy/Gum, Nestle's Oh Henry Candy Bar, Wonka Bottlecaps, Teaberry Gum, Strawberry Pop Rocks, Sen-Sen Breath Refreshments, Zotz Candy, Reeds Rootbeer Candies, and Nik-L-Nip Wax Bottles.
9. Halloween is the holiday with the highest candy sales, followed by Easter, Christmas and Valentine's Day.
10. Candy is made simply by dissolving sugar in water. The different heating levels determine the types of candy: Hot temperatures make hard candy, medium heat will make soft candy and cool temperatures make chewy candy.

Skip to comments.Taxing the Poor (Sowell on inflation)
Posted on 12/10/2012 11:58:55 AM PST by jazusamo
With all the talk about taxing the rich, we hear very little talk about taxing the poor. Yet the marginal tax rate on someone living in poverty can sometimes be higher than the marginal tax rate on millionaires.
While it is true that nearly half the households in the country pay no income tax at all, the apparently simple word "tax" has many complications that can be a challenge for even professional economists to untangle.
If you define a tax as only those things that the government chooses to call a tax, you get a radically different picture from what you get when you say, "If it looks like a tax, acts like a tax and takes away your resources like a tax, then it's a tax."
One of the biggest, and one of the oldest, taxes in this latter sense is inflation. Governments have stolen their people's resources this way, not just for centuries, but for thousands of years.
Hyperinflation can take virtually your entire life's savings, without the government having to bother raising the official tax rate at all. The Weimar Republic in Germany in the 1920s had thousands of printing presses turning out vast amounts of money, which the government could then spend to pay for whatever it wanted to pay for.
Of course, prices skyrocketed with vastly more money in circulation. Many people's life savings would not buy a loaf of bread. For all practical purposes, they had been robbed, big time.
A rising demagogue coined the phrase "starving billionaires," because even a billion Deutschmarks was not enough to feed your family. That demagogue was Adolf Hitler, and the public's loss of faith in their irresponsible government may well have contributed toward his Nazi movement's growth.

He's absolutely right. Inflation is in essence a tax on savers, or whomever happens to be stupid enough to hold onto dollars for more than a split second. It can affect rich people, too, but is more likely to fall upon the poor. In gubmint jargon inflation is "regressive."
Also tax on fixed income and min wage earners
As they can't keep up with increasing costs of food
& other loving expenses
Truth, facts, and logic. No one in the government is interested in those, and no one who voted for 0bama understands them.
The Gods of the Copybook Headings will have to teach it to them.
Brilliant, concise, clear ... one of my favaorite commentators.
It doesn't affect minimum wage earners anymore than any other group, except insofar as they're more likely to keep their earnings in cash than those with bigger earnings.
There is no interest in learning for two reasons
Oh, the GotCH (gotchas?) won't care if they want to learn or not...
Trying to pick out key stanzas... but you gotta read it all:
I don't think whether it was earned on her part is the point. The point is that it hits the poor worse than the rich, who are more often farsighted enough to plan against it. If the mother is getting welfare she has already been set apart as in need of special consideration by the government, rightly or wrongly. To then turn around and steal her largesse back is ineffeicient, if nothing else.
Sadly most Republicans don't even get this as they keep voting for more and more federal reserve easing.
Thanks for the PING to another great article from Dr. Sowell jaz.
Who is going to feed the starving millions when the EBT system crashes and burns with the dollar?
Never has a country bred or imported more illiterate, unemployable, semi-verbal, basically stupid and useless people.
While debasing and destroying its currency! At the same time! Hello? Trendline studier, what do you see ahead, but an epic crash, like two runaway locamotives on the same track heading for one another? In prior centuries, during the era of common sense, single motherhood was harshly discouraged, because unwed mothers were automatic beggers, a drain on their families, and likely to starve.
Now we pay the stupidest among us more per low-IQ baby.
The reset is going to be hell, when it once again takes brain, initiative, hard work and cooperation to survive. And that day is going to come.
The point remains that, a better example should have been chosen for illustration purposes. The welfare recipient will not suffer the consequences of a cheapened dollar, because, whatever she/he receives, will be enough to cover the inflation of "her" money. Inflation hits harder on those who don't get payments that account for that inflation. My money in the bank is not going to be adjusted for inflation when I do decide to withdraw it, or use it for payments.
When I graduated from High School in 1965:
Average Cost of new house $13,600.00
Average Income per year $6,450.00
Gas per Gallon 31 cents
Average Cost of a new car $2,650.00
Loaf of bread 21 cents
Average Rent per month $118.00
USMC Pvt made $88/month.
USMC 2nd Lt made $295/month.
USMC Pvt made $1379/month.
USMC 2nd Lt made $2828/month.
In 2011:
Average Cost of New House $262,260.00
Cost of a gallon of Gas $3.52
US Postage Stamp 44 cents
Gallon of Milk $3.39
Move Ticket $8.20
Price Of Gold Per Ounce ( August 2011 ) $1,677.95
Average Yearly Wages $40,925.00
Just to show how generous the government is, consider this. When I was in second grade in 1953, we were encouraged to bring in a dime every week to put toward buying a $25 US Savings Bond for a cost of $18.75. Today, that Series E bond would be worth $166.43!
An inflation calculator shows that $18.75 in 1953 is worth $162.44 today.
So, by prudently investing in US Savings Bonds when I started grammar school, for each investment of $18.75 I would have earned $3.99, total, over the course of 59 years!
What a way to plan for your retirement!
I'd say the cost of a house you listed in 1965 is right on, we bought our first house in '65 for #13,900.
A rising demagogue coined the phrase "starving billionaires," because even a billion Deutschmarks was not enough to feed your family. That demagogue was Adolf Hitler, and the public's loss of faith in their irresponsible government may well have contributed toward his Nazi movement's growth.
We should learn from history. This robbery is happening now. Whether Obama becomes Hitler, I don't know but we're headed toward an inflation calamity. If I were rich, I would invest in things that would be harder to get like basic necessities and also things that would make me more productive in gaining basic necessities that perhaps could save me money in the short term as well.
Thank you for the ping.
So, the government is successfully raising taxes on absolutely everyone.
All I know is that my grocery bill doubled in the last couple of years, and our diets are pretty stable. We eat about the same things in rotation every week or two. We haven't bought any big ticket items or extras. Just for the usual, it has doubled.
My Mom bought a 1100 sq.ft. 3 BR 1 bath on a slab, with a carport, for about $7800, in 1964.
When I started at Ga Tech in '65, they said that upon graduation we would probably be earning $10,000-$12,000.
IIRC, a 289 Cobra was $4,995, an XK-E was about $6,300 and a 911 was $6,995. Those days are long past.
He chose that example because that's the type of person the Democrats claim to help.
thanks for posting!
When the government inflates away all of the saved wealth, taxes retirement plans, makes sure that those who have money can't use it to buy health care, when the economy is ruined, and the saved private wealth is confiscated by the government to subsidize it's beloved parasites, then as you say the reset will be very harsh
...Now we pay the stupidest among us more per low-IQ baby.
But they're smart enough to steal, but mostly too lazy to do so.
Going by 20th century history, the government's standing army will uphold the tyrants to the very end. as you sayit will be harsh indeed
After over 4 years, I finally got a "COLA" increase in my SS payment, which amounted to a shriveled pittance of less than a hundred dollars. At the same time, my "premium" for medicare went up over ten dollars, and the amount withheld for my taxes also increased. After doing all the figuring and juggling, my total deposit increased by about $9. This, in spite of the fact that prices on everything I must purchase have increased by 30% or so in the last couple of years. It's a good thing I don't drive or own a car. I shudder to think of what my situation would be like in that case.
That's not all. Income taxes only transfer money from your current income to the government, but it does not touch whatever money you may have saved over the years. With inflation, the government takes the same cut out of both.
The point is the government is robbing everybody, but most especially our accumulated savings which have already been taxed. They are forcing every last dime out of your pocket to the lift the economy. The same economy that they are simultaneously strangling with anti free market policies.

There were several reasons to steal the bankais, even if they're more powerful without them. First off, it's demoralizing to the Captains. Possessing a bankai is one of the things that set them apart from the common soldiers. Secondly, while it may have weakened the Quincy, it severely weakened the Captains, since sealing their bankai took away a large chunk of their power. Third, it served as a distraction to the Captains, instead of focusing purely on locating the Quincies and bringing the fight to them, they had to find ways to recoup their power.
So, I'd say it worked out well for the Quincies, despite the temporary cost.

Prosecutors Dismissing 14 Marijuana Cases
Yakima County Prosecutors decide to throw out over a dozen pending marijuana cases, after Washington voters legalize marijuana earlier this month.
The county plans to dismiss 14 cases in which the defendant is 21 years or older, and facing misdemeanor posession charges.
Cynthia Martinez says dropping the cases will save the county money in court costs.
"We want to be confident enough when we do a jury trial, that it's going to be worth the money that we're spending. And in light of the voters decisions, this may not -- at this point, this doesn't appear to be a place we should be putting our resources," said Martinez.
Martinez says the county is still reviewing about 70 other marijuana related cases, and will decide on those at a later date.

Great fireplace, great service
By Always cold in Michigan
from Ann Arbor, MI
About Me Midrange Shopper
This is a very attractive combination fireplace/media center. It's great for a room with contemporary design. Instructions to put together were very good. I couldn't tell from the picture, but the top is actually glass, not metal which is very nice. While the flame isn't like that from a real fireplace, it is pretty realistic and it is nice to be able to control the heat.
Service and delivery comments:
Service was exceptional. I spoke with several representatives by phone and internet, and everyone did their utmost to make this a good buying experience. I would definitely buy from them again if I decide to get a fireplace for another room.

I Love The Gotham Electric Fireplace!
By Jeanne
from Globe, AZ
I set this up by myself! I was a little confused at first but then followed the directions exactly and things started to come into place. I had a little trouble with the inside clamps. I wasn't sure if I had them upside down to lock into place. It took me several minutes but then I got it done. I have shown the picture of it to several folks that I work with and they now want one too! It is a beautiful piece that also provides a great storage area, I love it! It came out just like the picture shows!

Beauty & Function - the whole package!

from Lees Summit, MO
We use it in our finished basement (which is colder than the rest of the house). It is an absolutely beautiful piece of furniture & it serves its purpose to warm the area. We love it!
Disappointing Customer Service
By J
from Federal Way WA
this fireplace is nice to look at BUT the doors are not glass but plastic-ours came damaged with 2 left sided doors with large marks in the plastic-we promptly contacted customer service with pictures to file a damage report 4 weeks later a still no word on how they plan to make this right. Have sent 4 emails to the damage department with no reply. It also does not put off that much heat.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

By frustrated buyer
from Martinsburg, WV
Bought this for our basement. Thought it looked nice and the price was good. Directions on how to put it together were ridiculous and not easily understood. Materials are extremely cheap. Some of the metal pieces were warped and did not fit the way they were intended to fit. Product had a large scratch on the top of the mantel that had to have been there when it was packaged and not a result of shipping and could not have been noticed unless every single item was taken out of the box upon delivery! The doors in the front are not even glass!!!! They are cheap plastic. DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU WANT A POORLY CONSTRUCTED, CHEAP FIREPLACE CONSOLE!

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
There is a strong connection between mental pictures and emotions. If you visualize something happy, you will feel happier and if you visualize something sad, you will start to feel sad. Here is one way to take advantage of this phenomenon.
Pick a goal that you want to achieve. You may want to start with a small goal and work your way up to bigger goals as you gain practice with this technique. Let's say that your goal is to go bowling and get two strikes in a row. Close your eyes and picture yourself bowling. Try to involve all of your senses. How does the bowling alley sound? What does the ball feel like? Do you notice particular smells? Visualize yourself getting the two strikes in a row. Pay attention to your feelings and recognize how much you will enjoy achieving this goal. This visualization will help your mind prepare for achieving the goal.
Look around the room and try to find as many green things as you can. Plants, people's eyes and money are examples of things that might be green. This exercise helps you become more aware of your surroundings and helps improve your attention to details. If green is too easy for you, try combinations of colors. For example: objects with red and purple.
You can do this exercise whenever you are sitting around doing nothing, whether it's on the bus or in a waiting room. If you have a friend with you, make it a challenge to see who can find the most objects.
People tend to quickly classify a situation, which causes us to think and respond to it in predictable ways. A creative thinker will think about situations from different angles. Try this exercise to think of these situations from a different point of view.
1. Your favorite pair of jeans just got a hole in them. List five reasons why this is good.
2. You forgot your umbrella at home and now it's raining. List five reasons why you should be happy about this.
3. You just got a raise at work. List five reasons why you should be disappointed.
4. Your best friend just gave you a surprise birthday party. List five reasons why you should be angry with him or her.
Engineering challenges are fun activities that are frequently assigned to students in physics or engineering classes, but they can easily be used outside of these venues. An engineering challenge usually has a simple goal and some rules about what sorts of materials you are allowed to use. These are great ways to get people thinking creatively and to foster teamwork and competition. Try an engineering challenge at a birthday party, office outing, scout meeting, or any other gathering where you want to have fun and exercise your creativity.
The objective in the Paper Tower challenge is to construct the tallest freestanding tower from a single sheet of paper and a small amount of tape. The tower must be able to stand on its own for at least 10 seconds.
Here is an exercise to help you practice your visualizations.
Visualize each person that you interacted with today. Focus on each person individually and try to form a clear picture of him or her in your mind. Some things to pay attention to: hair, eyes, height, weight, age, clothing, and mannerisms. If this is your first time visualizing people, you will probably find that faces are difficult to reproduce accurately, but you will get better with practice.
