The Wave Worm Tiki-Shadick is a soft plastic twitch bait that provides anglers with some unique features. The Shadick has subtle ribs running across it's back that provide bass with a texture they like, while also increasing water disturbance that bass can sense with their lateral line. The belly of the Tiki-Shadick also has a split for your hook, and its long, straight tail will cause it to dart erratically and allow the bait to glide easily. Available in a range of proven Wave Worm colors, the Wave Worm Tiki-Shadick twitch bait is also loaded with Molopo attractant, which is guaranteed to make fish hang on longer.

Comments: Secret Calico bait for years, just today, august 2016, was fishing at mission bay & got the biggest calico, 8lbs, on the black & blue Shadick. Get it while it lasts.
From: David: USA 8/15/16
Comments: I've been hesitant to purchase this as I've not seen reviews on TW and there is not much video of it out there to witness action. At the sales price, pulled the trigger. GREAT fluke style bait. I like lots of tail action in my soft jerkbaits and this has it. It's a soft fluke, great flutter action on the drop and wicked side to side movement on the jerk. Used this past weekend and caught 4 bass on the same lure before having to toss it. For the price, can't be beat. Has the MOLOPO scent which may or may not help, but certainly doesn't hurt anything. Well worth the price and will purchase more.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

My feet love the wide toe box
"These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I have 2 pairs and will probably get a third. New Balance tells you the last size of their shoes. These have the SL-2 last, which has the widest and deepest toe box, making them ideal for women with long and wide toes but narrow heels. My podiatrist has applauded my choice of shoes. And they look really nice too."

In conjunction with the Office of Alumni Relations and Development, the Office of Marketing & Communications also plans and directs the College's signature social event, Our Appalachia Day Homecoming. Held each year on the second Saturday in October, "Appalachia Day" is a fall festival celebration that draws in the local community, regional visitors, and alumni.

It was named "Eagle's Nest" by Miss June Buchanan who conducted various interviews in the building's former tea room. Buchanan famously had tea with Senator Robert Kennedy when he visited the College in 1968. All memorabilia from this time period is now housed in Cushing Hall, which is only a short walk from the station.

The White Devil
The White Devil
By Justin Evans
Harper Paperbacks, Paperback, 9780061728280, 367pp.
Publication Date: July 10, 2012
Sex, Death, and Boarding School
When seventeen-year-old Andrew Taylor is transplanted from his American high school to a British boarding school the English, hypertraditional, all-boys Harrow School he finds his past mistakes following him, with an added element of horror: visions of a pale, white-haired boy from Harrow's past. Either Andrew is losing his mind, or the house legend about his dormitory being haunted is true.
When one of his schoolmates dies mysteriously of a severe pulmonary illness, Andrew is blamed and spurned by nearly all his peers. In his loneliness and isolation, Andrew becomes obsessed with Lord Byron's story and the poet's status not only as a literary genius and infamous seducer but also as a student at the very different Harrow of two centuries ago a place rife with violence, squalor, incurable diseases, and tormented love affairs.
When frightening and tragic events from that long-ago past start to recur in Harrow's present, and Andrew's haunting begins to seem all too real, he is forced to solve a two-hundred-year-old mystery that threatens the lives of his friends and his teachers and, most terrifyingly, his own.
"Want a good English ghost story to read by the fire on a cold winter night? [The White Devil] gathers you in lovingly, then takes you in a strangler's grip with its escalating horrors."
-Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly (2011 Pop Culture Favorites)
"Demonic possession, the provocative topic of Justin Evans's first novel, A Good and Happy Child, takes on a literary twist and a sexual jolt in The White Devil. . . . Evans heaps an assortment of gothic embellishments onto this coming-of-age narrative."
-New York Times Book Review
"Chilling-to-the-bone. . . . Deliciously frightening, The White Devil is a literary scare story in an earlier tradition before vampires ruled the day, or at least the genre."
-New York Daily News
"[An] ingenious and creepy supernatural thriller, will give you chills even in the summer heat. Evans has fused a literary mystery, sinister ghost story and Gothic romance with the story of a boy's intellectual and sexual awakening."
-Kansas City Star
"Evans ratchets up the suspense at an expert pace. . . . The White Devil [is] an authentic page-turner that may well be devoured in one sitting."
-Shelf Awareness
"[An] ingenious and creepy supernatural thriller, will give you chills even in the summer heat. Evans has fused a literary mystery, sinister ghost story and Gothic romance with the story of a boy's intellectual and sexual awakening."
-The Tuscon Citizen
"[A] crackling literary mystery. . . . Harrow itself contains Shirley Jackson levels of gloomy passages and dark secrets. Smart, scary, sexy, and gorgeously written to boot."
-Booklist (starred review)
"Gripping. . . . [A] disturbing gothic thriller."
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The White Devil is an intelligent, bristling ghost story with a stunning sense of place, a uniquely frightful spirit, and a band of absolutely charming heroes—Byronic and otherwise. You'll dread reaching the end-while flipping the pages furiously."
-Gillian Flynn, author of Sharp Objects and Dark Places
"The White Devil is a page-turning tour de force. Both a thoughtful and learned homage to the ghost story, and a clever and compelling rethinking of the genre, this is an amazing, frightening, and believable novel. I loved it."
-David Liss, author of The Devil's Company
"The White Devil is part ghost story, part murder mystery, part coming-of-age tale, part romance. It's a delightful cocktail. Justin Evans' writing is crisp, his storytelling vigorous, his sense of the uncanny pitch perfect. And he's written a wonderfully creepy book."
-Scott Smith, author of A Simple Plan and The Ruins

Color: Originally unpainted plaster, then yellow, then wall-papered; current blue paint dates from 1890
Purpose of Room: Dining area
Architectural features: Two sets of window sashes insulate room; double pocket doors on rollers separate the Dining Room from the western-most, and coldest, Tea Room; the Dining Room features one of Monticello's thirteen skylights; wine dumbwaiter on either side of fireplace brought wine up from cellar below; pivoting serving door with shelves enabled slaves to move dishes in and out of the room more easily and with fewer intrusions to diners; Wedgwood decoration on fireplace
Furnishings of Note: Several dining tables could be used or were folded against a wall when not needed. Dumbwaiters -- or shelved tables on casters -- were wheeled to the table, and guests then served themselves. The table featured French figurines and porcelain, English creamware, Chinese porcelain, glass serving pieces, and silver flatware, casseroles, and other tableware. Several silver and gold goblets and tumblers were made to Jefferson's design, as was a coffee urn. Jefferson kept books on the fireplace mantel which he read while waiting for diners to arrive at the table. One of the chairs shown in the room today is the last in which Jefferson sat -- after Jefferson's death his grandson-in-law Nicholas P. Trist carved the initials "TJ" into the chair's left arm.

One of my closest friends is Frank from Staten Island, N.Y. Frank has a great expression he uses whenever he hears good news about someone or when they experience something positive. He always says, "Yo, who is better than you?" with a thick New York accent.
So as an example, if I were to call him and share with him that I had an incredible trip to Switzerland, he would say, "Yo, who is better than you?" sounding like Sylvester Stallone in "Rocky."
Well I was thinking about this and I realized that his expression is really very true, and not just for me but for all of us. When was the last time you looked in the mirror and said, "Yo, who is better than me?" and really meant it about yourself.
Positive self-affirmation is so beneficial. Really, positive self-talk or positive self-affirmation can get us through a difficult day, challenging situation, or new opportunity. Or it is simply an incredible way to start each and every day.
You are gifted and gorgeous. You are brilliant and beautiful. You are a person of character and strength, you live with integrity, you are a hard worker, you are caring and thoughtful, and loving and generous. Feel free to add to the list or fill in the rest of your own story. Claim your qualities and attributes and remind yourself often of who it is that you truly are, how you see yourself, and how you feel about yourself.
Who is better than you? Nobody, that's who.
I have met way too many people who have allowed the opinions and degrading comments of others to shape the view they have of themselves. And even worse, sometimes I have talked to people who have taken it to a whole new level; they practice negative self-talk. Then what happens, they ask the same question but give a different answer, they ask "Yo, who is better than me?" but their answer is "Everybody is better than me."
It really doesn't matter how old we are, how young we are or what profession we are in. It doesn't matter if we are married, in a relationship, or single. What does matter is that we believe in ourselves, seeing the beauty and the goodness in who we are, and reminding ourselves each day as we look in the mirror by asking Frank's simple question ... "Yo, who is better than you?" Then answer it, "Nobody, that's who."
Now I am not suggesting egotistical behavior that just might be misunderstood as conceit. What I am recommending is a healthy and super positive belief in you.
I am so grateful for my friend Frank and love his expression, "Yo, who is better than you?" and I would love to hear all of your positive attributes and qualities at firstname.lastname@example.com. This is going to be a better than good week, I just know it will.

When we say "remaster," we don't mean we've changed any of the words or the data. We go through carefully and look over every word and image to make sure it's accurately represented in each format. If there are typos, we're careful NOT to correct them. It's quite time consuming and much more accurate than any purely OCR attempts we've seen.
We've rearranged the contents so the entire year is readable in a book form, just as we've done with our later volumes. So there's an articles section, a letters section, a month by month synopsis of the "latest" technological developments and predictions, plus a whole lot of data that really was exciting to hackers back then and may make you laugh today. While the actual technology being discussed in 1985 will seem primitive today, the philosophy and speculation about where the world of computers and phones was heading will make for some intriguing reading in the 21st century. You will certainly learn a number of surprising facts. And you'll get to see us go bananas when our own BBS gets raided by the authorities. It's as thrilling today as it was back then - trust us.
This project took months of effort before we were satisfied with it and we hope you show your support by investing in a digital copy. We still intend to create digital archives of all of the remaining years in each of these formats. We've made it cheap enough to be attractive and we've disabled any copy protection options. A strong show of support from the community (specifically, not just copying it from a friend) will keep future releases coming your way.

Toulon claimed their first Heineken Cup title after beating Clermont 16-15 in a thrilling all-French final in Dublin on Saturday.
Toulon claimed their first Heineken Cup title after beating Clermont 16-15 in a thrilling all-French final in Dublin on Saturday.
Toulon become the third French team to win European club rugby's top prize, following in the footsteps of Toulouse and Brive.
RCT were outscored two tries to one but kept themselves in the game thanks to a disciplined, committed and clinical defensive effort.
In a dazzling array of talent, the opposing starting XVs featured 30 full internationals and the intensity on the pitch and atmosphere on offer to the fans at the Aviva Stadium was fully worthy of a Test match.
There was no shortage of attacking intentions in the first half but two very well-drilled defences ensured scoring chances were few and far between. As a consequence the interval was reached with the scores locked at 3-all.
The second half started with a bang however as two Clermont tries – from Napolioni Nalaga and Brock James – put les Jaunards in the driving seat, but Toulon fought back to take the lead for the first time in the 65th thanks to a try from Delon Armitage.
As they had done for much of the game, Clermont dominated territory and possession in the dying minutes only to see David Skrela charged down as he attempted a match-winning drop goal.
It took just three minutes for Morgan Parra to open the scoring from the kicking tee after Chris Masoe failed to release Gerhard Vosloo in the tackle.
Jonny Wilkinson levelled the scores on the 15-minute mark after Nathan Hines was trapped on the wrong side of ruck and didn't roll away.
Clermont fly-half James came within millimetres of scoring just before the break after chasing down his own kick but touched the ball down on the deadball line and was sent 30 metres back by the TMO.
Clermont would move in front within two minutes of the restart however as Nalaga – the tournament's top try scorer – finish in the corner. It all started with a turnover won by Sitiveni Sivivatu, the ball found it's way to Aurélien Rougerie, who emlinated three defenders to put Nalaga clear. The big Fijian still had plenty of work to do as he turned on the gas, sprinting 20 metres down the touchline to evade the cover defence to dive into the corner.
Parra missed the conversion and Wilkinson pulled three points back after Jamie Cudmore entered a maul from the side to leave the scores at 8-6.
The second Clermont try followed shortly afterward as Rougerie collected James' chip over the top, beat two defenders before offloading back to James, who pinned his ears back and raced home.
Parra's conversion put Clermont clear at 15-9, forcing Toulon to try find an extra gear.
RCT coach Bernard Laporte made a few early substitutions, including adding Frederic Michalak to the mix and the French scrum-half made an immediate impact.
Michalak's clever chip ahead forced James to hang on and Wilkinson could cut the deficit to six points from the ensuing penalty.
Juan Fernandez Lobbe was at the origin of Toulon's first and only try, winning a turnover before finding Armitage in space out wide. The English full-back had a clear path to the line and too much pace for the chasing James.
Wilkinson added the extras to put Toulon in front for the first time with 15 minutes to play.
It was all Clermont in the closing minutes, but Vern Cotter's men failed to keep their composure, coughing up a handful of knock-ons when the game was there for the taking.
Clermont were probably the better team on the day but must now turn their attention to winning the Top 14.
Man of the match: Clermont skipper Aurélien Rougerie was brilliant, creating both his team's tries but we'll go with his opposite number, Mathieu Bastareaud, who crossed the gain-line every time he had the ball and forced two crucial penalties by competing at the breakdown when Clermont were threatening to score.
Moment of the match: Both Clermont tries were outstanding but the turnover won by Juan Fernandez Lobbe to set up Armitage's score changed the course of the game.
Villain of the match: He may have scored the winning try but Delon Armitage made no friends amongst neutral fans with his unsportsmanlike wave to Brock James as he raced to the line. Poor form.
The scorers:
For Clermont:
Tries: Nalaga, James
Con: Parra
Pens: Parra
For Toulon:
Try: D. Armitage
Con: Wilkinson
Pens: Wilkinson 3
Clermont: 15 Lee Byrne, 14 Sitiveni Sivivatu, 13 Aurélien Rougerie (c), 12 Wesley Fofana, 11 Naipolioni Nalaga, 10 Brock James, 9 Morgan Parra, 8 Damien Chouly, 7 Gerhard Vosloo, 6 Julien Bonnaire, 5 Nathan Hines, 4 Jamie Cudmore, 3 Davit Zirakashvili, 2 Benjamin Kayser, 1 Thomas Domingo.

Comfy, but NOT cute
"First, the good stuff:Shoes are very comfortable - there is a thick layer of padding in the sole that is meant to be broken in, hence the reputation for running small (my regular size was fine, but I can see why someone may feel they are too small)Cons: These shoes are unfortunately NOT as cute in person. The inner neoprene layer sticks out like a sore thumb, partially because the fabric is so different from the suede (which is adorable), and partially because it's almost coral. "Red" feels like quite a stretch, and the neoprene/laces are just SO different from the rest of the shoe. Unfortunately, the mix of fabrics makes them look like orthopedics.Had high hopes, but will be returning."

Lovely color
"Bought this pair. They run short - such a disappointment as I really liked the color. It is a coral red.The sole is a stiff - maybe not so good. Made of a plastic that had no give.Had to return then as they were small."

Why it's called an Oxford not an athletic shoe
"Looked like a fun shoe to wear while walking the dog and I've had Softspots before, the interior is very padded & comfortable. But because it runs about a half size short there's not much room in the toebox. And the sole, although it looks like rubber, is some type of plastic and not very flexible nor has a lot of traction."

Carroll Lockett Pyle
Carroll Lockett Pyle died peacefully on June 5, 2012, at Hospice of the Valleys Coronado House in Phoenix, Ariz. Carroll was born on July 2, 1956, in Cortez to Frank Lockett and Zylpha Ann (Capehart) Pyle. He lived in Cortez until moving to Arizona where he graduated from Kearney High School in 1974. He lived in Arizona for most of his adult life and worked in the construction industry. In 1984 he married Toni Roybal; they had three children and later divorced.
Carroll loved going fishing and watching sports, especially the Denver Broncos, Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks. His children and granddaughter were the lights of his life. He also wrote music and played the guitar. He will best be remembered for his sense of fun and his laughter. He worked hard and played hard.
Surviving Carroll are his daughters, Stefanie Pyle of Phoenix and Victoria Pyle of Mesa, Ariz., his son, Kristofer (Kelsey) Pyle and his granddaughter Nevaeh Pyle of San Tan Valley, Ariz. Also surviving are his grandmother, Charlotte Pyle of Rogers, Ark., his father Frank (Sandra) Pyle of Dolores, his mother Ann Fontes of Benson, Ariz., sister, Lou Ann Pyle of Dolores, brother Tony Ruffo of San Diego, Calif., cousin/brother Greg Ebert of Kirtland, N.M., his aunts Dona Cady of Kirtland, and Myrna Loveless of Rogers, Ark., along with numerous other aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Carroll was preceded in death by his beloved grandfather, Warren Son Pyle.
According to his wishes Carroll has been cremated and his family plans a celebration of his life in the mountains of Colorado this summer.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, Wow! What a ride!

One of the objectives of COWIN is to bridge the gap between R&D results and financial needs for further technological developments and for commercialisation of Miniaturised Smart Systems.
COWIN procures a mapping of European Initiatives (to download) providing or facilitating public financement of R&D (Frameworkprogramme, ERA-NET schemes, European technology Platforms, European Clusters initiatives, ...) but also a link and support in approaching private financing.
The full Report & Mapping of European initiatives to finance R&D projects in Smart Systems is now available in the Download section
Actually the European Commission started to pay attention to the area of Microsystems already during the 4th Framework Programme (1994-1998). Since then, the focus of the R&D activities in Microsystems has grown from Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MOEMS) and their applications towards the notions of Microsystems and Smart Systems Integration. In the present frameworkprogramme (FP7) a programme is dedicated to the funding of these technologies.

Sexy shoe for great price!
"Bought shoe on clearance for a great price. Very pretty, deep royal blue color just like depicted in photo."

"When I first saw this shoe online, it spoke to me. I knew it would go perfectly with a one-shoulder long blue gown I own. Since the Bebe Tait is an online exclusive, this would be my first time ordering from DSW online. Love, the shape of the shoe, the heel height and comfort level, but it was not the same exact blue of my dress. However, I like the shoe so much, I will keep it."

On the first day of 2013,the proverbial car is being tuned as we prepare to head to Phoenix. The Road toWrestlemania starts with the Royal Rumble at the end of the month. As we start the countdown to the biggestshow of the year, I�m going to break a cardinal rule and engage in some fantasybooking. The main reason for going against one of my biggest wrestling bloggerpet peeves is because I�ve seen some rumors of what could be on tap forWrestlemania and frankly, there�s only one match in that list that I wouldn�tlist as a bathroom break. So I�m going to throw out my proposed Wrestlemaniacard and hope someone with some clout within WWE sees it and tries to pass offmy ideas as their own. This way I haven�t paid X amount of dollars to simplyfreeze my tail off in New Jersey while staring blankly at an 18x18 footwrestling ring. <>>
First off, for those thatmay not have seen them, here are the �rumored� matches and the reasons why Idon�t want to see them. <>>
The Rock vs. John CenaWrestlemania 28Photo courtesy: WWE
John Cena vs. The Rock: I saw this match last year and wasn�t excited forit then so why would I want to see it a second year in a row. Last year�s matchwas billed as �Once in a Lifetime.� Surely WWE wouldn�t promote something ashistoric and then devalue it a year later, would they? The Rock is a part-time (if that)wrestler. Why waste him on a guy he�s already fought? The consensus is thismatch will happen so Cena can avenge his loss from last year.<>>
Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H: I was there live at SummerSlam when these twofought. Outside of an appearance by Trips on the Slammy Award episode of RAW,neither guy has been mentioned since the day after SummerSlam. Much like theprevious match mentioned, the reasoning for this rematch is simply so Triplecan get his win back. Paritybooking is one of the biggest reasons why very few superstars are getting overwith the crowd. <>>
CM Punk vs. Undertaker: I don�t know why this is being talked about otherthan if Punk is still champion a Streak vs. Longest Championship Reign matchcould have some intrigue. Personally, I think Undertaker should retire with a20-0 record at Wrestlemania. If he really feels the need to come back foranother match, there�s only one person I want to see face the Undertaker. I�llget to that later. <>>
Sin Cara & Rey MysterioPhoto courtesy: WWE
Rey Mysterio vs. Sin Cara: There have been reports; WWE would pass out luchamasks (guessing in the style of Rey�s or Sin�s or the hybrid version) for thecrowd to wear in an attempt to set the World Record for most people wearinglucha masks at one time. This is the one match that I�m not opposed to seeing. <>>
Now, if I were in control,what would my Wrestlemania 29 card look like? Glad you asked. <>>
The Rock vs. Dean Ambrose: The Rock has faced Cena. At the Royal Rumble, TheRock will fight CM Punk. If WWE is going to bring back the Rock for Wrestlemania,I�d prefer to see him face someone new. What better way to help establish a newstar then putting the �Greatest� against a new star many are predicting bigthings for in the future. Since The Shield has been helping CM Punk, it�s notunimaginable to think they may get involved in the Punk/Rock match. If theirinterference leads to a Rock loss, a Rock/Ambrose match can easily be set upfor Mania. <>>
John Cena vs. Undertaker? Maybe...Photo courtesy: WWE
John Cena vs. TheUndertaker: In my opinion, this isTHE money match for an Undertaker return. While Cena doesn�t have a goodwin-loss record in the last few Wrestlemanias, he still has the aura around himthat fans would buy the potential for Cena to end the streak. Off the top of myhead, I can�t recall the last time Cena and Taker squared off in a match, whichmeans it�s also a fresh match-up. <>>
Brock Lesnar vs. Ryback: Paul Heyman represented Brock. Ryback has beenfeuding with another Heyman guy in CM Punk and even wrestled Heyman at a recentshow in Madison Square Garden. Wouldn�t it make sense for Heyman to bring backBrock to seek revenge? The Next Big Thing vs. The Newest Big Thing would bethis generation�s Lesnar vs. Goldberg. Hopefully the match would be betterreceived, even if Lesnar weren�t going to be around after the match.Unfortunately, this match up would probably lead to more Gold-Berg chants.Again though, using a part-time wrestler to help put over a current star makesmore sense than putting two part-time guys in the same match. <>>
3MB vs. The JonasBrothers: Wrestlemania is being heldin New Jersey. The Jonas Brothers are from New Jersey. Vince McMahon likes touse celebrities to get some mainstream publicity. 3MB aren�t being takenseriously so why not try to draw in the Disney crowd. <>>
CM Punk vs. the MizPhoto courtesy: WWE
WWE Championship Match:CM Punk vs. The Miz: This was a hardmatch to pick. After looking at the WWE roster, there�s really no one that Icould quickly pick to challenge Punk. While the dream match would be Punk vs.Steve Austin, as long as Punk is still champion, I don�t think he should haveany major matches against non-fulltime wrestlers. The Miz by being a formerchampion gets the title shot by necessity. <>>
World Title Match: DolphZiggler vs. Christian vs. Mark Henry vs. Randy Orton: This means Dolph successfully cashes in the MoneyIn The Bank briefcase in time to go through all the required rematches with BigShow before Wrestlemania. Throw inthree former champions, two of whom have been on the sidelines for the betterpart of the year so the match feels fresh, as challengers and let Dolph retainthe title as the start of a lengthy, meaningful reign. <>>
Tag Team Title Match:Team Hell No vs. Tyson Kidd/Justin Gabriel: The tag champs have faced every tag team onthe roster numerous times so this match could easily go on the pre-showcontinuing the trend of Daniel Bryan having a lackluster Wrestlemaniaappearance. <>>
Therest of the show can really be put together by drawing names from a hat.Looking at the WWE roster, and noticing how often guys wrestle each other, it�shard to come up with something unique and interesting. <>>
That�smy Wrestlemania 29 fantasy card. What would you like to see at Wrestlemania?What do you not want to see at Wrestlemania? Share your thoughts on our Facebook page or tweet us@my123cents. <>>

TUPELO – Three storytellers will come to Tupelo in mid-February to perform and explain their craft to students, teachers and community members.
This year's annual Link Centre Artist Residency program will feature Kim Harris, Reggie Harris and Laura Simms. All three will be in town Feb. 12-16 for various engagements.
"We are always trying to do different things with the program, but in a way, we always come back to stories," said Shawn Brevard, who organized the schedule. "Everyone has a story to tell. We learn about that by listening to other stories. I hope this can unlock personal stories."
Simms is an award-winning performer and writer and advocates for storytelling as compassionate action for personal and community transformation.
She will direct personal narrative workshops with small groups of students at Tupelo High School and the Tupelo High School Advancement Academy between Feb. 12-15. The high school workshop will be with Danielle Frerer's keyboarding students.
Simms will then hold a public program at the Lee County Library at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 16. "Mud Sisters & Other Stories about Friendship" will tell of her experiences in storytelling.
Kim and Reggie Harris are musicians and storytellers, who earned acclaim for performances on the Underground Railroad and the modern civil rights movement.
The pair will be the featured performers at Tupelo High School's annual Black History Program on Feb. 14. Their 25- to 30-minute presentation will touch upon important African-Americans who may not be well known.
Later that afternoon, they will hold a workshop for music educators at the Hancock Leadership Center. The next day, they will perform "Music and the Underground Railroad" for students at Tupelo Middle School.
The Harrises will lead an interactive workshop at the Boys and Girls Club's Northside location on Feb. 16 and will hold a public performance that night at 7 as part of the Monthly Music Mix Concert Series. That performance will be held at the Link Centre Concert Hall.
All three have been featured in the renowned National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tenn.

Editor's Note: Today's caption is the answer to Earth Observatory's January puzzler.
If you were a plant, the Oobloyah Valley on Ellesmere Island would probably not be the first place you'd want to set down roots. The island in Canada's Nunavut territory is located at the same latitude as northern Greenland, so air and soil temperatures are frigid on good days. During the warmest month—July—temperatures average 3.3°C (37.9°F); during the cold and dark of February, the average plunges to -38°C (-36°F). Don't expect much snow or rain either. Like much of the High Arctic, Ellesmere Island is a polar desert, receiving just 64 millimeters (2.5 inches) of precipitation per year.
The valley does have some upsides. Multiple retreating glaciers—including the Nukapingwa, Arklio, Perkeo, and Midget—flow into the valley from the Krieger Mountains and provide melt water during the summer. The landscape also has escaped scouring by ice for thousands of years. While sheets of ice covered much of Ellesmere during the last glacial maximum, Oobloyah Valley remained ice free. And while it is very difficult for most plants to eke out a living in the High Arctic, once a species is established, there is very little competition for space.
This unique combination of climatic and geological conditions has drawn groups of Japanese ecologists to the area to study how plants survive and spread. Terminal moraines—the heaps of rock, gravel, and sand deposited near the snout of glaciers—offer an ideal natural laboratory for studying which plant species can colonize the recently exposed terrain.
A team of researchers led by Yokohama National University's Akira Mori focused their search for Arctic plants on the moraine created by Arklio Glacier, the second to the left in the image above. The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) acquired this image of the glacier on June 19, 2012. The moraine, which formed during the Little Ice Age, appears as a lobe-shaped bulge around the end of glacier. The light brown feature south of the moraine is a stream bed.
They found two dominant pioneer species living on the rocky, virtually soil-free moraine, according to a study published in October 2013. The first is Epilobium latifolium, a flowering plant in the evening primrose family known as Dwarf fireweed. The second is Salix arctic, a type of creeping willow.
Visit our Earth Matters blog to see an image of these two pioneer species, as well as a view of the moraine from the ground.

It came from John F. Kennedy's lips to God's ears, "We will land a man on the moon within the next 10 years."
I remember it as if it were yesterday… both his speech and the actual event. It was 40 years ago this July when three adventuresome astronauts broke free of the earth's gravitational pull on their way to the moon. I recall sitting in front of the TV set, glued to the somewhat fuzzy picture of Neil Armstrong descending from the Lunar Lander. We all cheered as he laid claim to the moon, not just for America, but for all mankind. The world instantly recognized that this was a seminal moment in history and one that only the United States was capable of achieving. I immediately knew that this was likely the "earth altering achievement" of my time in world history, on a par with Columbus' discovery of the new world.
It wasn't just the singular achievement of the three "moon men" who, for a short time, occupied the seats on Apollo 11 that we celebrated back then, but the many thousands of unnamed scientists, technicians, craftsmen and laborers who were the backbone of the Apollo program and the creators of the final event. In the decades that followed, we also benefited as consumers from the many by-products of the inventions created specifically for Apollo with standard items in our homes, ranging from Tang and Teflon to Velcro and many others.
I don't want to take anything away from Neil Armstrong, Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin or Charles Conrad, as I still think they are the bravest of the brave. Those few good men allowed themselves to be strapped into a titanium cylinder (whose parts were manufactured by the lowest bidder) and launched toward the moon, when they could have easily been blasted into oblivion without ever having left earth's atmosphere. After only six trips to the moon, the Apollo project, along with many of the astronauts and hundreds of those responsible were jettisoned like one of the booster rockets on the Space Shuttle. After all, Americans can have a short attention span, and back then they had other distractions like the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement.
Today, too, Americans have many serious and pressing issues to occupy our time and attention including two wars, the collapse of the auto industry and the shake-up of our financial institutions. People are concerned for their families and hold a general lack of confidence for the future. That's why we believe it is so very important that we stop, acknowledge and celebrate one of man's greatest achievements.
Late last summer, Joan and I and our dedicated artisans and chocolatier decided that in our own crazy, little way that Choclatique was not going to let this anniversary pass unnoticed. We wanted to honor the thousands of Americans who brought Project Apollo to life and the millions of citizens who funded these missions with our tax dollars. We created the Choclatique Moon Rocks Collection—vividly-colored, 24- karat gold-veined, crystal-shaped chocolate confections… our interpretation of what might have been found if chocolatier been the first to land on the moon instead of the Apollo astronauts.Choclatique's Moon Rocks Collection offers 15 out-of-this-world flavors which include "Tangy" Orange, Moon Rock Mousse, Apollo Almond, NASA Nuts, Cosmic Crunch Caramel, Rocket Raspberry, Stellar Strawberry Shortcake, Lift Off Lime, Extraterrestrial Mint, Mission Control Fig, Lunar Lemon Caramel, Solar Sesame, Basalt Boysenberry, Pluto Pomegranate Caramel and Galactic Grape all cast in our Private Reserve Dark (64%), Prestige Milk (32%) and Snowy White (33%) Chocolate. These are not only Chocolates Out of the Box, but chocolates out-of-this-world. So here's the positive and patriotic take-away from this blog… after all, we are the Authentically American Chocolate Company. The United States of America—the greatest nation on earth—was the first to put men on the moon. In the forty years since that historic feat, no other country has even come close to matching our efforts and this technical achievement will probably not be repeated in the next 40 years by any other nation. So, take the time this summer (and all year long) to rejoice and celebrate all of the things that are grand about America; celebrate our achievements with a box of Choclatique Moon Rocks and don't forget to say a prayer of thanks for all of our American astronauts, especially:
1. Neil Armstrong (1969)
2. Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin (1969)
3. Charles Conrad (1969)
4. Alan Bean (1969)
5. Alan Shepard (1971)
6. Edgar Mitchell (1971)
7. David Scott (1971)
8. James Irwin (1971)
9. John Young (1972)
10. Charles Duke (1972)
11. Eugene Cernan (1972)
12. Harrison Schmitt (1972)
"To the moon, Alice!"

Young anglers would save some money under fishing license changes the Division of Wildlife Resources is proposing. The changes would also provide the DWR the funding it needs to continue providing quality fishing opportunities in the face of rising operational costs.
Right now, an angler who turns 14 must buy the same license adults buy. The DWR is proposing a separate license for young anglers. Instead of buying a license for $26, anglers between 14 and 17 years old could buy a 365-day license for $16.
The DWR is also recommending an increase in the cost of a 365-day fishing license for those 18 to 65 years old. If approved, a fishing license for those 18 to 65 years of age would increase from $26 to $34. A combination license, which allows the holder to fish and hunt, would increase from $30 to $38.
A combination license for those 14 to 17 years of age would also be available for $20.
The DWR is also proposing that anglers not be required to buy a separate two-pole permit if they want to fish with two fishing poles. Anyone with a Utah fishing license could fish with two poles at no extra cost.
If approved, the license fee increase would be the first fishing license fee increase in Utah since 2003.
The DWR is also recommending several changes for Utah's upcoming waterfowl hunt. The changes include holding the state's Youth Hunting Day on Sept. 28 (one week before the general hunt begins), splitting Utah's two Canada goose hunting zones into three zones, not allowing hunters to take more than two wood ducks a day and changing motorboat access at the Public Shooting Grounds and Clear Lake waterfowl management areas.
Mountain goats on the LaSal Mountains in southeastern Utah and Mount Dutton in south-central Utah would be managed under plans the DWR wants your input about.
The agency's recommendations for Utah's 2013 – 2014 cougar hunting and pursuit seasons are also available at the Web page.
After reviewing the recommendations, plan on sharing your ideas at your upcoming Regional Advisory Council meeting. RAC chairs will share the input they receive at the meetings with members of the Utah Wildlife Board when the board meets Aug. 22 in Salt Lake City.
