Trusty rain boots
For the past few days, everyone in Manhattan has been walking around in rain boots. My trusty pair, above, are these Loeffler Randall booties. The great thing about Loeffler Randall boots is that they look like cool shoes, not clunky rainboots, so you can wear them to work or dinner. And they're small enough to take on trips. I'd highly recommend them. xoxo
P.S. These tall boots are also super cute.

Chelsea-style rubber boots would be ideal, especially here in Seattle where the ground is always cold and wet in the winter months. I'm so glad you posted about these. Definitely looking into getting a pair!
Fleur d'EliseGreat recos! I love the look of these. My Hunter Boots are great for rain but they are definitely too tall sometimes!
Isn't That Charming.I've always loved the Loeffler Randall wedge boots, so when I came across these rain boots a couple of years ago, I was psyched. Fashion+Function=winning combination. But somehow, my socks still manage get wet when I wear these! I can't figure out where the water is getting in since I don't see any obvious holes or tears. Does anyone else who owns these have the same problem?
ReplyDeleteI have been reading your blog for a long time and while I appreciate your focus on lighter material during tough times, I have to say that I'm surprised you're talking about how versatile and stylish your footwear is when your own city has been devastated. Surely there are more inspiring stories to lift people's spirits than your rain boots.
So much of your blog, and so much of what I like about it, is your focus on your life in New York. And you've certainly never strayed from difficult topics, something I've also admired and part of what keeps me coming back. Please share your story about the storm and not what you wore while New York was crippled.
I will no longer be reading your blog.I have been looking at all of my favourite NYC-based blogs to get a sense of how Sandy has impacted people living in the region. Granted that a lighter touch in difficult times is important, I do nevertheless feel that some of these recent posts have been uncharacteristically tone-deaf. I am all for hair tutorials and lovely rainboots but It would also be great to see a "A Cup of Jo" reflect a bit more on the aftermath of the storm. Surely, it's not all business as usual in NYC?
ReplyDeleteI have wellies that look a lot like the green ones - only I bought them a size too small and had to give them away :( Stay dry NYC!

I notice that none of the negative comments here are from people in New York. Surely there are enough outlets, official and non-official, for you to be able to get an idea of how people are coping in New York (or other Sandy-affected areas).
I'm sure that if and when Joanna wants to write about the storm and her experiences with it, she will. Stop being so judgemental!I've been looking for a good pair of rain boats just because I don't own any. IT'S BAD. Especially in DC when it gets all rainy when I walk to class! Those are so cool though! I've never seen short rain boots, def. a different style :) Love em!
Minestrone Soup For the SoulMy son lives in NYC. His block never lost power, never had flooding. He had to walk 90 minutes to work but the buses are running now. Being a huge city with millions of people, there will be stories that run the gamut of horrible to everything is alright.
The news is full of mostly horrible stories, heartbreak and tragedy.
Do we really feel a need to read this in blogs also ?
I don't.
This is a single persons blog, she can write whatever she feels like writing. Because she has not posted her personal experience or tragedy is neither our business nor does it give anyone the right to criticise her for the omission.
Why can't we comment on the lack of sensitivity in her post? I'm sure if Joanna hasn't stopped accepting anonymous comments then there'd be a lot more discussion about this post. This post was made to get clicks and money from people going to the website Joanna linked to. That is insensitive!
ReplyDeleteI do live in Manhattan (just two blocks from Joanna, actually) and found this post to be horribly insensitive. Joanna, you, like us, are living without power right now and all you can post about is your cute rain boots? You know I love and support your blog and it takes a lot of guts for me to sign my name to this comment, but sorry, this really hurt and offended me that you'd put an affiliate link in a post like this...
It's great to see how we're all making the best of the storm, but I do hope you use some of the money you made off this post to help those who really need it right now. -LRRepliesI think we all need to get a bit of perspective and stop throwing around phrases like "horribly insensitive" on a posting on what is essentially LIFE-STYLE blog--albeit one that is often thought-provoking and moving.
If you aren't interested in lighter moments then read the NYTimes or other sources where one traditionally finds news. Perhaps lifestyle and fashion blogs are not the place to find the gravitas that you are seeking.
And while I am on the subject of perspective and sensitivity - I read your blog post about your Sandy experience (found here: http://smithratliff.com/2012/11/01/hurricane-sandy-the-aftermath-in-new-york-city-blog/). I wonder how someone who was assaulted in the SuperDome after Katrina or one of the over one million people who were redistributed from the central Gulf coast elsewhere across the United States post-Katrina, would feel about the "sensitivity" expressed in your post on what is basically and candle-lit wine-fueled game night with your family replete with an ipad charged at a luxury hotel. Should stones really be thrown here?I checked out the blog post, and you make a great point! Then I regretted even reading it, because I get the feeling the motive behind this criticism was to generate more blog traffic. :( I looked through pages and pages of posts, and this one had the most comments of any of their posts, at 14.
Too soon, Jo, too soon…
As a longtime reader and New Yorker, I was also struck by insensitivity of this post. I have never commented on your previous brushes with unprofessionalism and blatant commercialism because I, quite honestly, don't care that much, but this post really disappointed me for I have witnessed firsthand not only the devastation caused by this storm but also the amazing acts of heroism in response to it; to see you so quickly capitalizing from it really makes me question my readership.
This isn't simply "haters gonna hate," as you have mentioned in your responses to critical comments in the past. This is just disappointment at the sheer lack of tact associated with profiting from a tragedy. Quite frankly, I see no issue with your affiliate links on the whole—why shouldn't you receive a bit of a finder's fee for all products to which your blog refers many an aspiring fashionistas? This, though, was a bit too much, and like I said, too soon. (And, sure they are cute boots—but, _really_ two days after the storm?)
And even if you weren't making money off this, as a "lifestyle" blog, why not instead write about the many good things, or least interesting occurrences, that have come out of this situation—profile the NYU doctors and nurses who carried premature babies down multiple flights of stairs in the dark; discuss the many impromptu sleepovers held by residents with shelter, power, and water for their friends without them; feature before and after pictures of some of your favorite downtown parks and playgrounds?
You will write what you choose to, of course, and people all over the world will continue to read your content and buy the products and services you shill. Please though, going forward, try to remain aware of the suffering going on around you when you do so and how your words might impact the loyal readers on whom your blog depends.RepliesVery well said. In a time like this, people are hardly thinking about stylish rainboots, let alone ones like these which cost so much.
Joanna, I always look forward to reading your blog, but Wednesday's post was a true disappointment. I live in New Jersey and to see how much people have lost is heartbreaking. I was hoping you might feature the amazing stories of support or a glimpse into the effect on New York. Even a simple link to donate to the Red Cross. Not a silly fashion purchase.i'm disgusted! i'll stop reading this blog « A Cup of Jo » aka "hipster marketplace» . it's really sad to see that, because before this blog was with a good spirit - not any more. no surprise, it's like that when you sold your soul for A CoUPle of pennies. Au revoir!
Cheers, Helena! Or better yet: post about the rainboots, put in an affiliate link, and say, "Hey, let's help those affected by the hurricane! I make $XX off of every pair of rainboots you buy and I'm going to give every dime to the Red Cross." At least that gives an insensitive post some perspective.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it possible that Joanna has some posts pre-written and is just posting stuff written before the storm while she deals with having a two year old and no power? Should she just strap her baby on her back and march all over New York to get you guys the story? Come on. I for one read this blog everyday because it is a nice peaceful place to go to get away from my day to day stress and depressing news. If I want to know how people are dealing with the devastation of the storm I will watch the news and you guys should too.
ReplyDeleteThis is great - the fact that people actually are commenting on your lack of mentioning the devastation that the media has saturated the public with is pathetic. Anyone with a soul knows that everyone feels just as guilty as the next person about the devastation and shock that has sadly been brought on by Sandy, but life goes on and everyone recovers in different ways, shame on you people for attacking someone who is simply doing what she loves and writing about something that, no offense, ALL of us do LOVE to hear because who the hell doesn't want criteria boots? Back off and practice what you preach - if you have nothing nice to say then back off and go focus on the things you claim to be so worried about,-how dare you shame someone for posting something as innocent as a post about rain boots. Get a life.
ReplyDeletethis post has really left me questioning the person behind the blog. disappointed, i am, for the lack of genuine realness in this post. there was a hurricane that struck the tri-state, devastating millions of lives, including myself and many of my family members...so i ask myself where is the sense of concern or heart in this person, does she not see what is happening??? Yes, it is a "lifestyle and fashion" blog, but it is also a 'real' person writing for this blog, a real person deciding what should be written and published and real person living day to day life in nyc during and after hurricane sandy...
joanna, i have been a long time follower and have truly appreciated some of your very helpful and personal posts, ones that i was able to relate to because i was going through the same thing! so when i finally regained electricity, i clicked through pictures on nymag / nytimes and read a couple of blogs to finally see visual evidence of what had happened here the last few days....i was extremely shocked to see THIS very post and the pervious ones? i was hoping for something more heart-felt...more real. i don't understand your decision to do what you did. but i do understand that it left an uncomfortable sadness. i felt extremely disconnected from this blog that was once very comforting and enjoyable to read.
im sorry to say that i now find this blog appalling, disgusting and unreal.just as Margaret implied I am inspired that any one able to earn $6613 in four weeks on the internet. did you see this site http://www.taz3.com

A federal appeals court in Boston has ruled unanimously that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional, in effect reaching the same conclusion as the Obama Justice Department.
The case is almost certainly destined to be decided by the Supreme Court, a fact the appeals court noted in delaying implementation of its ruling until the Supreme Court gets a shot at it.
The ruling is certainly founded in logic and reason. The court ruled that the federal government cannot confer benefits on those who were married under Georgia law or Kansas law and then deny benefits to those married under Massachusetts law, which allows gay couples to marry.
In one example, federal law allows the spouses of military veterans to be buried alongside them in military cemeteries. But DOMA would deny that right to gay spouses of veterans. The court found that violates both the right of gay Americans to equal protection under the law and violates the authority of states to regulate marriage.

Oscar, your point about common law marriage is true. Interestingly enough, the states that have passed bans on same sex marriage have also frequently banned common law marriages.

This issue concerning 'marriage' has become so contentious I'm not sure there's any way around it (federal intervention), particularly if it's viewed as a 'right.'
That's one reason I wondered about Pres Obama's approach (well, not really, given the political reality). I know Pres Obama didn't use the word 'right' but he did say 'treated equally.' I can't imagine him taking another 'rights' or 'equality' issue and saying "we're just going to leave this to the states to decide."

The radical right wing anarchist has huge self control/self esteem problems, JHM.
He could have written his first diatribe and then let it go, which was fine by me.
But when he got no reaction from me, he devolved into his real self – enraged and irrational.
Embarrassing himself seems no big deal…
BTW, check out his very first post today, downstairs. And take a wild guess whose name with unprovoked personal insult is included?

" I can't imagine him taking another 'rights' or 'equality' issue and saying "we're just going to leave this to the states to decide.""
And yet…there are many things that are in exactly that situation. Voting for instance. A state cannot take the vote away from it's citizens, but each state has differing laws controlling how voting is handled. Marriage is already in that situation. States have differing laws regulating marriages.

Doom — "deference and homage to Doomy. Doomy like it he do."
I've seen people do it to make fun of you, but never out of deference orf homage. I bet you don't like that, you don't.

Sure they do, but they weren't there either…so they can sepculate how marriages were handled based on population memories, but they don't KNOW – any more than you do – what the original motivation for marriage was. The speculation *I* have seen is that it originated in the desire of men to know that the offspring of their partner was truly their own. That is a CIVIL concern, not a religious concern.

Well lets look at it this way.First the marriage contract negotiated between the parents,before the kids were old enough to assume adult roles.Second step in marriage process took place when the kids reached maturity.The groom would then take the bride to a home he had prepared.The bride would present her dowry,and he would give her gifts.Finally the wedding feast.What puzzles me with this new marriage law is who gets the dowry?

The people making Ayn Rand references don't seem to know or remember that she was an atheist. Her philosophy is opposite of Christian belief. How do you make that work?
So, is it ok for a Jewish person to quote Ghandi?
How about an atheist quoting Dr. ML King?

That is a CIVIL concern, not a religious concern
Early societies did not separate civil and religious. Separation of the two came much later. To them, all laws and customs were religious and to break the rules was taboo, a violation of religious laws.

Just give the gays the same rights that hetero couples have. Then they will go do what they do in their private lives and the rest of us can enjoy some d@mn peace and quiet on the issue and move on to better things. And if there happens to be a God who supposedly inspired the bible to be written and the laws and recommendations are pertinent, well then they're screwed by a celestial being. But who are we to judge? We're all sinners according to the bible.

Oscar — "Early societies did not separate civil and religious. Separation of the two came much later. To them, all laws and customs were religious and to break the rules was taboo, a violation of religious laws."
Well, that'd be their mistake then. Fortunately, we've progressed since then and are mentally and emotionally capable of separating the two. At least I hope we are.

Gay marriage thoughts? Hmm. Good for you josef. And as the Godfather once said "I wish you luck- especially since your interests don't conflict with mine."
I was a little surprised over the lib gloating on what is usually a side issue for many others. Adam seems beside himself with joy. He's not gay so I wondered why the sheer delight? Then it hit me. They got nothing else. They sure as hell can't talk about the economy. Sheesh.
Consumer confidence is way down, the stock market just had its worse one month drop in 2 years, the libs are about to take an asskicking in Wisconsin despite their big talk months back about Wisconsin, O made yet another embarrassing gaffe, quarterly earnings coming out are the worst they've been in awhile, the jobs report isn't looking too hot(150k jobs expected only), for the 7th time in 8 weeks jobless claims are up, David Axelrod got humiliated this morning, O's landmark legislation is most likely going to get slapped down. Good grief. Is there any good news for the kooks?
Otay. Lemme throw Adam a bone- gas prices are down! Wooohooo! Since demand and economic expectations are rapidly plunging under the O man gas prices are dropping. Aint no doubt- give O full credit!

"So you're controlling the behavior and freedom of a student to choose which educational institution they can attend just because they receive food stamps?"
If the school is not taking those food stamps, why should it affect where they go? If it IS taking those food stamps why should the school be exempt from any laws pertaining to those food stamps?"
The student receives food stamps. The student used the food stamps to buy food at the university store. Therefore, the university is receiving federal funds. Therefore, the only school the student could attend are those that do not accept food stamps in the cafeteria or on a quickstop located on the university or one of the university food vendors.
Now I'm wondering if there are any universities at all that meet those criteria.
So now, just to comply with that requirement, you've made universities not accept food stamps, so all student working their way thru school using food stamps will be forced to transfer to another school, But they can't afford to move you've forced them to drop out of college.
You're about to cause a bunch of little kids to wear dog collars.
Nice going, Doggone/GA!

Well, Doom, whatever makes you feel better about yourself. If you need some sort of validation from me to improve your self-esteem, I guess I can be charitable and help you out with that.

Joe Mama @ 12:45 pm
The argument cannot be about government if the issue cannot be solved with civil unions, which provide equal rights.
The moderate conservatives who are ok with civil unions are told that equal rights mean " marraige". If the fight is over the act of " marraige" then the truth is gays want their union recognized by a religious ceremony.
If gays demanded civil union laws then they would be arguing for equal protection under constitutional law. A ceremony overseen by a priest, pastor or another religious figure is a religious ceremony.
Truthfully as a conservative, I think the government should stay out of the entire matter, they have no right to decide who anyone gives thier benefits to or lives with. But to be gay and argue for "marraige" is the same thing as asking God to sanction your right to continue a sin he denounced.
Given the absolute fact that sin is sin against The Law of God you cannot ask Christians, Muslims or any other religious group to sanction ANY act which God condemns, regardless of what it is. In the eyes of religious people all sins are equal. Given the fact that nobody can say God did not condemn homosexual activity, it is a sin. Religiously speaking we all must recognize our sins, stop committing them, repent and ask for forgiveness. Man, via the government or church leaders, cannot forgive us of any sin. Nor can they declare them void.
Let man sleep with man and woman sleep with woman just stop trying to put it in the same realm as a " Christian marriage"
I will bet anyone – call it a union and it will be the law of the land, insist on marraige and it never will be.

Why after a divorce is a Christian able to yet again be married in a church ?
Guess what you, AND the whole of Christianity are judging, and are quite hypocritical..and your argument has zero merit.. and in general……Christianity is a joke for the reasons you mention.

(NEWSER) – Like a free DNA spray with that? Following a spate of robberies, McDonald's outlets across Australia are installing DNA-spray devices over their doors to douse fleeing robbers with an indelible mark, the Daily Mailreports. The non-toxic spray will mark alleged thieves with a DNA code that lasts for months and shows up bright blue under the light of police UV flashlights—tying crooks to the scene of the crime. "It's a great deterrent," a McDonald's spokeswoman tells the Sydney Morning Herald.

A British parliamentary report slammed Barclays bank on Saturday for its "disgraceful" actions that led to a rate-rigging scandal.
The Treasury Select Committee issued a report after recent hearings over the scandal. Barclays was fined $450 million by British and American regulators after some of its traders purposely manipulated its interest rates as part of Libor, or London Interbank Offered Rate. The scandal also led to the resignation of Bob Diamond, its chief executive.
The report said the source of the scandal was a "deeply flawed culture" by Barclays and not just actions "small group of rogue traders."
"There was something deeply wrong with the culture of Barclays. Such behavior would only be possible if the management of the bank turned a blind eye to the culture of the trading floor," the report said.
The report regarded Barclays" "incentives and control systems" as "so defective" that they served to reward traders themselves, not matter what "the impact of shareholders and the bank's overall performance" would be.
"Now exposed, their actions are to the detriment of Barclays' reputation and the reputation of the industry. The standards and culture of Barclays, and banking more widely, are in a poor state. Urgent reform, by both regulators and banks, is needed to prevent such misconduct flourishing."
The issue is important because the scandal centered on the rates at which banks lend each other money.
The Libor is hammered out based on input from big banks in London each morning and used to calculate trillions of dollars in consumer and business loans around the world. It affects how much interest ordinary people pay on everything from credit card debt to home mortgages and student loans.
The fines against Barclays came after it admitted some of its trading desks purposely manipulated the rate for personal benefit during the height of the global financial crisis.
Between 2005 and 2009, when Diamond was in charge of the investment branch of Barclays bank, traders were influencing the pricing of rates which impacts up to $800 trillion of securities. E-mails revealed as part of the rate fixing investigation showed traders were seeking beneficial rates for their trading positions.

Basque Children and their Seafaring 'Aunties' – An Evacuation
- by whnadmin
On May 21 1937, 75 years ago, British philanthropists helped thousands of children from a Spain being torn apart by war ( http://www.basquechildren.org). Los Niños (pictured arriving) were to stay in England for up to two years.
A conference, reunion and exhibition held 12-13 May 2012 at Southampton celebrate that mercy mission and its aftermath (http://www.southampton.ac.uk/ml/news/2012/05/09_exhibition_to_commemorate_child_refugees_of_the_spanish_civil_war.page)
Let's give praise where praise is due. Women, socialist women, were the main organisers of that 1937 evacuation. They were led by Leah Manning (later a Labour MP) of Spanish Medical Aid, along with Edith Pye of the Society of Friends, and the Tory but progressive Duchess of Atholl, President of the National Joint Committee for Spanish Relief.
Leah Manning, MP
And women, particularly single left-wing teachers, were the main people joining the famous Habana evacuation on an especially charted ship. They looked after the children on the two-day voyage.
I found this when researching women who had been escorts on other ships, for my new book, Risk: Women on the wartime seas (Yale University Press, 2013).
In world wars, women, almost always volunteers, escorted children – together with disoriented adult refugees – on British ships. Often they were not even being paid expenses. Some were captured, interned and even killed during their WW2 voyages.
Called 'aunty', many of the women were experienced travellers and lively independent types, at a time when women's mobility was still limited and their solo travel problematic. Unsung and overlooked, these pioneers deserve recognition. They were members of a minority who cleverly utilised gendered conventions ('women are suitable carers for little ones') to do all the travelling they could, despite low incomes.
- WW1: women escorts, especially Quakers, often suffrage campaigners, escorted Belgian families fleeing to Britain, or German women and their children who were being repatriated (usually against their will).
- WW2: female escorts were employed by CORB, Children's Overseas Reception Board, in summer 1940 to take British children to the US, Canada, the Cape and Australia.
- 1937: In the Spanish case the children and their escorts sailed as a result of intense British socialist campaigning, after Guernica was destroyed, on April 26 1937. The British Government insisted that this was a one-off voyage.
Homerton graduate Leah Manning, Dr Audrey Russell and others went out to fetch the nearly 4000 children, helped load them in Bilbao, then sailed back to Southampton. Evacuations almost always meant ships were worryingly overcrowded. The ship too, which was supposed to carry around 800 passengers, actually carried 3840 children, 80 teachers, 120 helpers (escorts), 15 catholic priests and 2 doctors.
Teachers' and escorts' work was not only to help children find places to sleep – even lifeboats. It was also to help them settle despite the difficulties such as separation trauma, disorientation and homesickness.
On the Habana, said Leah Manning, 'Head to tail the senoritas laid out our precious cargo – on the bulkheads, in the swimming pool, in the state rooms and along the alley ways. [They were] for all the world like the little sardinas about which they were always singing.'
The Bay of Biscay is notoriously choppy and it was on that voyage too. Most of the children were so seasick, that 'for two dreadful days and nights … [we] slipped and slithered from one pool of diarrhoea and vomit to another… assuring them it wasn't the fascists who had stirred up the troubled waters against them,' wrote Manning.[1]
No one has mentioned that the escorts must have been suffering seasickness too, as they tried to do their job. New research has shown that women are nearly twice as likely as men to be seasick.
So these escorts were labouring under additional difficulties. But their main role was trying to determine how to handle the unknown children, who were all too often unhelpfully reserved about their agonies, which were instead expressed through bed-wetting.
Such seafaring escorts still accompany children travelling alone today. Some are employed by the Universal Aunts agency, which was founded by Gertrude Maclean, who escorted her nieces and nephews from far parts of the empire to boarding school before WW1. The ship in the image (pictured) shows the lure of the sea. (http://www.universalaunts.co.uk/history.html
Others were/are paid employees of shipping lines. Usually stewardesses and children's hostesses, they were seconded for this function.
And sometimes, although they initially fancied a 'free voyage,' as well as wanting to support a worthy cause, escorts must have been very glad when the ship reached its destination. Many such 'aunties' continued to maintain contact with those they escorted.
WHN member Jo Stanley writes about gender and the sea in history.
[1] http://www.spanishrefugees-basquechildren.org/C-Leah_Manning.html. The citation is from her chapter, 'From Basque Children for England' in a book called With the Rearguard, but I can trace no such book. Manning's autobiography, A Life for Education, Victor Gollancz, London, 1970 describes the event but not quite so well as the quote here.

MOUNT PLEASANT – Though continuing to remain competitive with almost every team it plays, the Iowa Wesleyan College softball team again came up just short in a pair of games Saturday afternoon, finishing with a 1-4 record in its annual Betty Sammons Classic softball tourney at East Lake Park.
The Tigers lost both of their games on Saturday, both by narrow margins. IWC was defeated 6-4 by the University of St. Francis (Ill.), and then went to extra innings before losing 10-9 to Purdue University North Central (Ind.) in its final game of the two-day tournament.
After a first day which saw all eight participating teams separated by just one game, Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) University and St. Francis (Ill.) separated from the pack on Saturday as both tied for the best record in the two-day tourney with matching 4-1 marks. Purdue North Central and Hannibal-LaGrange (Mo.) College were both 3-2, Mount Mercy College and Harris-Stowe State (Mo.) University finished 2-3 and IWC and Trinity Christian (Ill.) College were 1-4.
Wesleyan concluded a disappointing week that ends with the Tigers on a skid resulting in 10 losses in its last 11 games. IWC fought back in both of their games on Saturday after falling behind early, but then saw their work go for naught as both opponents pulled back ahead in the final innings and, in the case of Purdue North Central, in extra innings.
The Tigers trailed St. Francis 4-0 after two innings but scored four times in the third as Kara Harris (Sr.-Berry, Ill.) and Ashley Mysliwiec (Fr.-Antioch, Ill.) both tripled, Leigha Strong (Jr.-Muscatine, Iowa) reached on an error to score a run, and Molly Ward (So.-Baylis, Ill.) later singled in a pair to tie it. The Fighting Saints answered, though, with single runs in the fifth and sixth innings and Wesleyan never got another runner past second base the rest of the way.
IWC also fell behind Purdue North Central right away, going down 2-0 in the top of the first inning. The Panthers continued to lead all the way until the Tigers finally tied it in the bottom of the seventh when Mysliwiec reached on an error and Strong followed with an inside-the-park homer to tie the score at 5-5.
The game went to an eighth inning under international tiebreaker rules with runners placed at second base to start off each teams turn at bat. The Panthers would score five times in the top of the eighth as Sandi Downs singled in a run with one out, Nicole Nickoson hit a two-out RBI single, and Sam Michalski hit a three-run inside-the-park homer.
Wesleyan was not finished, though, as Ayla Serrano (Fr.-Rock Island, Ill.) singled in a run and Mysliwiec later singled to score two more. Haleigh Hempen (Sr.-Hamilton, Ill.) then followed with a two-out RBI triple down the left field line but had to be held at third, and with two outs Ward popped up to second base to end the game.
Mysliwiec led the Tigers with four hits on the day, four RBIs and three runs scored. Hempen, Harris and Ward all added three hits each as IWC finished with 20 hits over the two games.
Iowa Wesleyan returns to Midwest Collegiate Conference play for a doubleheader on Wednesday against Mount Mercy College at 4 p.m. at the Mapleleaf Athletic Complex.

Have Guitar Will Travel
LP (Item 420486) Checker, 1960 — Condition: New Copy
Have guitar, will travel – and back in the day, Bo Diddley was going pretty darn far with great material like this! The album's a real standout, even in the classic Chess catalog of the early years –no filler, no covers, just all original material by Bo Diddley – done in that unique Diddley blend of fast riffing guitar, playful vocals, and odd rhythms that often chug along at a really frenetic pace, especially in these pre-funk years! A key influence on funky music for many years to come, and a record that explodes from the very first note – on a set of original tracks that include "Run Diddley Diddley", "Mumblin Guitar", "Say Man, Back Again", "Come On Baby", "Dancing Girl", "She's Alright", and "Cops & Robbers". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

We just spent 3 nights and enjoyed every minute . It is set in beautiful grounds and the hotel itself is gorgeous. Beautiful entrance and lovely welcoming... atmosphere.....open fire and sweeping staircase add to the grand but not intimidating foyer. We had intended going to sample some of the local restaurants and bars but the barfood and staff in The Island Bar were so good we ate there every night.....the home made biscuits were just the best and Edward and John served it all with a smile.....breakfast was delish....and everything you could possibly desire was available on the buffet or to order from the kitchen. We went to Bunratty Castle and the Cliffs Of Moher so it was a great location for seeing the sights. All in all it was a really enjoyable weekend and i hope we get to come back soon....J & T Hotels.com klient 14/11/2011

New York is once again getting ready to award funding to regional economic development councils around the state to boost business and foster job creation. Tuesday, Governor Cuomo met with those councils to talk progress. Nick Reisman has the latest.
NEW YORK STATE -- As the aftershocks of the economic recession continue, Governor Andrew Cuomo is pushing various regions of the state to develop their own plans for job growth. It's a strategy he says is needed after a generation of stagnation, especially upstate.
"New York, we took it for granted and we also had an attitude that almost anything we did would have to be tolerated by businesses because they didn't have an option," Cuomo said.
Cuomo held a meeting in Albany Tuesday of the regional economic development councils that represent various areas of the state. Cuomo has sought to be a cheerleader if nothing else, running wall to wall ads proclaiming New York is open for business. The economic ills came after the state just expected jobs to be available he says.
Cuomo said, "Part of it was the growth of the tax structure, part of it was the growth of regulations, part of it was the attitude and the culture. I talk about the New York arrogance, that we almost expect business had to be here."
A report this month from the conservative Empire Center found Upstate New York is getting older, losing population following an erosion of its manufacturing base. Nowhere is this more evident than in Buffalo. And officials there say attracting young people is a main goal.
"We've lost about a third of our young people over the last few decades, people of child baring age. So continued population decline is baked into our demographic cake," said Howard Zemsky, Buffalo-Niagara Partnership CEO.
Cuomo has played up different aspects of the state's economy, be it Greek yogurt in Johnstown, electric buses in the Bronx or beer in Utica. Left unsaid so far has been what he plans to on hydrofracking, a controversial natural gas drilling method that environmentalists oppose, but energy companies say will lead to jobs in the Southern Tier. Hydrofracking aside, the administration says a balance can be struck on job growth and the environment.
"He is very strong on the environment, he is very strong on business. In many ways in the past we found ourselves in gridlock, where one entity has opposed the other. What he has done is bring them to the table," Lieutenant Governor Bob Duffy said.

Omaha, Neb. —
Indiana State meets Evansville at 4:30 p.m. today at Morrison Stadium in just the third Missouri Valley Conference women's soccer semifinal appearance in school history.
The fifth-seeded Sycamores advanced by beating fourth-seeded Northern Iowa in a penalty-kick shootout after a scoreless tie in quarterfinal play on Sunday. Evansville, the league's top-seeded team, had a first-round bye.
Defender Kourtney Vassar and freshman goalkeeper Erin Mitchell each picked up MVC Player of the Week honors for that win and the 1-0 overtime win at Missouri State on Oct. 25 that enabled ISU to qualify for the conference tournament.
Evansville has a 9-6-1 advantage in its series with the Sycamores, including a 3-0 win in Evansville on Oct. 17.
Today's match will be just the second between the two teams on a neutral field, the other being the Aces' 2-0 victory at Omaha in 2008 for the conference championship. Evansville also has beaten Indiana State in tournament play in 2000 and 2006.
The Aces were picked last in the MVC's preseason poll and started the season 1-6, but have been 4-1-3 since Sept. 11 and are 4-1-1 in conference play. Two freshmen have led the way, Simone Busby in goal (five shutouts) and Abby Springer on offense (five goals and two assists).
Indiana State, 7-9-3, hasn't allowed a goal since its last match against the Aces. Mitchell has seven shutouts for the season and another freshman, Sydney Lovelace, led the conference in shots with 54.
Winner of today's match plays at 4 p.m. Sunday against second-seeded Illinois State or host Creighton. The championship match will be televised live on the MVC TV Network.
Cross country
n Mayhew gets conference award — Just days removed from winning the Big Ten cross country individual title, Indiana senior Zach Mayhew was unanimously picked by the conference coaches as the 2012 Big Ten Athlete of the Year.
The Terre Haute North graduate was the first Hoosier male to win the conference individual title since Bob Kennedy in 1992. His time of 23:30 bettered two Wisconsin stars, former All-American Maverick Darling and 2012 Olympian Mohammed Ahmed.
Another former Patriot runner, Mayhew's former teammate John Mascari, won the same award from the Missouri Valley Conference earlier this week.

Sycamores bow out of MVC Tournament
Indiana State's baseball was out of pitching, and after a loss to Wichita State on Thursday, the Sycamores were out of second-chances too at the Missouri Valley Conference baseball tournament. What the Sycamores weren't out of was heart, guts and clutch performances from some unlikely sources. But in the end, Friday's elimination game rematch against the Shockers was a sampling of ISU's season overall — the Sycamores were out of luck.
Metro Sports: Chalk up No. 5 for Liz Evans
Senior Liz Evans capped the top career in Rose-Hulman athletics history with her fifth national championship and eighth All-American award at Wisconsin-La Crosse on Friday.
Four Indiana State athletes advance to NCAA outdoor track and field championships
Three Indiana State seniors and a freshman have punched their tickets to the NCAA outdoor track and field championships in two weeks at Eugene, Ore., with their Friday efforts in the 2013 NCAA East Preliminary at Aggie Stadium on the campus of North Carolina A&T.
Wichita State shuts out ISU to force elimination-game rematch
Indiana State starting pitcher Greg Kuhlman did his best.
Actually, he did far better than he ever has previously in an ISU uniform, but while Kuhlman's gutty pitching effort spoke volumes, ISU's bats remained ominously silent. -
Indiana State baseball now one win from MVC Championship
Indiana State's Wednesday morning wish list probably read something like this: a dominant complete game effort from starting pitcher Devin Moore, near-immaculate defense to support him, and a steady diet of clutch situational hitting from lineup spots one to nine.
Terre Haute's Mascari running 10,000 meters for chance to get to Hayward Field
Indiana State freshman and Terre Haute North graduate John Mascari is among the enormous group of Sycamores competing this weekend at the NCAA East Preliminary. The top 48 NCAA track and field competitors in each event on this half of the United States are narrowed down to 12 who will compete at the NCAA meet at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.
Manaea's shoulder causing him latest pain
Indiana State pitcher Sean Manaea has battled through so many aches and pains during the 2013 season that it can be hard to discern the serious pain from the pain he pitches through.
ISU's Negele answers call in big way in wake of Manaea injury
When Indiana State starting pitcher Sean Manaea slumped on the mound in obvious pain after he took his warm-up pitches, red flags raised for ISU's Missouri Valley Conference tournament hopes.
ISU baseball hoping Manaea can get its MVC Tournament moving in right direction
Indiana State's baseball team has been waiting all season for its stars to align.
But this is the 2013 Sycamores, after all, and after a season in which seemingly little has gone right, it appears its stars will remain crossed at the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. -
ISU track sending record 22 to postseason
On the heels of their thrilling double victory at the 2013 Missouri Valley Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships both the Indiana State men and women moved up in the national rankings which were released Tuesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
ISU's athletic treasure trove
Think of every championship that Indiana State has won in each of its sports, past and present. Think of every tournament — postseason or regular season — which the Sycamores have claimed as their own.
Ort sets ISU RBI record in 16-7 win
Robby Ort celebrated his Indiana State baseball Senior Day on Saturday by becoming the Sycamores' all-time leader in RBIs as ISU ended its regular season with a 16-7 win over Bradley at Bob Warn Field.
Bradley ends 16-game MVC losing streak against ISU
Momentum was the only thing riding on Indiana State's baseball game against Bradley on Friday. With a five-game winning streak going, ISU wanted to keep the good vibes going into next week's Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.
ISU couldn't do it. -
Behind 16 hits and Manaea's pitching, ISU beats Bradley
Indiana State's baseball team rode a wild ride of emotion on Thursday.
First came the public announcement that Bob Warn Field would host the 2014 Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. Later, Sean Manaea's availability to pitch ISU's series opener against Bradley was in doubt. -
Indiana State women add five transfers, including experienced D-I point guard
Indiana State coach Teri Moren believes the addition of five more newcomers to the program — in addition to the five who had already joined the program earlier this calendar year — will provide her coaching staff the athleticism and depth it needs to play a successful, up-tempo brand of basketball next season.

Metro Roundup: Indiana State's Shakir Bell on Performance Awards watch list
College Football Performance Awards has announced its watch list for the 2013 CFPA FCS Running Back Award, and Indiana State's Shakir Bell earned a spot on the list.
ISU baseball team builds on success with 14-2 rout
Indiana State's baseball victory over Alcorn State on Friday would take on more meaning Saturday if the Sycamores could build momentum and pick up on the good work they did in Friday's ninth-inning rally.
Mission accomplished.
The Sycamores were aggressive from the opening inning at the plate and starting pitcher Devin Moore gave them eight valuable and effective innings on the mound as ISU defeated Alcorn State 14-2 at Bob Warn Field.
"It was a really good experience for everybody. It felt great to finally come out here and put some things together. It's also really nice when your offense puts a lot of runs on the board," Moore said.
Moore's eight innings of work were as valuable as gold to an ISU team that is short on quality arms due to injury and ineffectiveness. He didn't allow a hit until the fourth inning and one of the two runs he conceded was unearned. -
Johnson, Lyke win MVC titles for ISU
Indiana State's Felisha Johnson and Maurice Lyke were both crowned Missouri Valley Conference champions on Saturday during the MVC Track and Field Championships at Drake University.
ISU earns badly-needed win
Alcorn State's baseball team might be ranked in the bottom 10 in RPI and Indiana State might have never lost to a Southwestern Athletic Conference team. So it wouldn't appear that a quality win was in the offing when Alcorn State visited Bob Warn Field on Friday.
Metro roundup: RHIT's Evans sets Div. III record in high jump
For the third time this season, Rose-Hulman senior Liz Evans topped the NCAA Division III all-time national record in the outdoor high jump Friday night.
ISU's Mascari and Hope win MVC track & field titles
Indiana State produced two champions during the opening day of action in the Missouri Valley Conference track and field championships Friday at Drake. Freshman John Mascari, a Terre Haute native, won the men's 10,000-meter race and Nicole Hope won the women's pole vault for the second time in three seasons.
ISU pole vault tradition continues with help from its author
Pole vault is track and field for the adrenaline junkie, Indiana State senior Nicole Hope proclaimed during a recent practice at Marks Field.
To catapult oneself about 14 feet into the air with a large $500 fiberglass pole on a daily basis is a risky endeavor.
"We have to be fearless. You can't be afraid at all," said Hope, who has also catapulted herself into the NCAA's elite in the event, ranking 15th in the NCAA with her leap of 13-feet, 9 1/4. -
Sycamores searching for answers after seventh loss in eight games
These are the bad times for the Indiana State baseball team.
The will is there for the Sycamores to pull out of their worst slump of the season, but the results are not. The suffering continued on Wednesday at Bob Warn Field as Eastern Illinois defeated ISU 5-3. -
METRO ROUNDUP: ISU men's track picked first in MVC Championships, women second
The Indiana State men's track team has won the last two Missouri Valley Conference outdoor championships, but the women have not stood on the top podium since 1999.
That may change this year, but the Sycamores will face some stiff competition in their quest for the championships. -

METRO ROUNDUP: Rose-Hulman tennis falls in HCAC semifinal
Rose-Hulman's hot streak in men's tennis came to an end Saturday in the semifinal round of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament at the West Indy Racquet Club.
Manaea fights off bad hip, wet weather to toss four innings
Mother Nature has been the bane of the Indiana State baseball team's existence all season. Eight games wiped due to weather are a testament to that. So it was no surprise, though no less disappointing, when she didn't deal Indiana State pitcher Sean Manaea the greatest hand on Saturday as he tries to recover from a hip injury.

text: New Orleans police Tuesday afternoon released more information about the murder of a woman and shooting of another in New Orleans East Monday night. Detectives believe last night's killing was the result of a domestic violence. Police say one of the victims, 25-year-old Renesha Nix, was arguing with her boyfriend, 22-year-old Keith Phillips. Detectives say she called her mother to come get her in a hope of avoiding the argument turning physical, but officer say when 40-year-old Tiesha Nix arrived in the 6800-block of Parc Brittany Boulevard around 10:00 p.m. Monday, Phillips shot the older Nix in the head, then shot Renesha Nix twice. The older woman died, the daughter was critically wounded. New Orleans Police Officer Frank Robertson says it's not the first time that Phillips has been in trouble on domestic violence allegations.

Tempestt Bledsoe is all grown up now. The former "Cosby Show" star has gone back to her family sitcom roots to star in NBC's Jimmy Fallon-produced comedy series, "Guys With Kids," where she portrays -- of all things -- a working mother who shares a busy New York home with her good-humored hubby and a brooding brood of kids.
Sound familiar?
For almost 10 years (1984-1992), Bledsoe starred as Vanessa Huxtable on the NBC juggernaut "The Cosby Show." Now she is experiencing a homecoming of sorts.
"It's very exciting," Bledsoe, 39, said recently. "Everyone has been great. The nostalgia of it has been on everyone's mind." The actress said her new project is a very traditional sitcom similar to the series that gave her her first taste of stardom in that, "it's a show that you should be able to sit around with your family and not have to turn the TV off and everyone has a comforting experience."
Of all her former "Cosby Show" co-stars, Bledsoe is the one who has consistently worked professionally on television in various roles, some hits and a few misses.
After graduating from New York University (where she majored in finance), she made an ambitious foray into the world of talk television with "The Tempestt Bledsoe Show," a syndicated chat fest produced by Dick Clark. "It was a positive experience for me," she said, and one she won't completely rule out doing again, considering the talk show genre seems to be in full swing again with new shows hosted by Steve Harvey, Katie Couric and 1990s stalwart Ricki Lake.
"My time is taken up a bit at the moment, but I think it's a great genre when it works well," Bledsoe said. "It's a really great showcase for personalities and a wonderful way to really influence people and make a contribution depending on the kind of show you want to do."
While she considers herself an actor above all else, she has also tried her hand in the reality television arena. In 2009, she and her longtime partner, "Different World" actor Darryl Bell, were subjects of the Fox Reality Channel's short-lived "Househusbands of Hollywood" series, which chronicled the lives of "house husbands" whose wives were the breadwinners of the family.
"It was something that a friend of mine was producing and I was like 'Why not, let's try it,'" Bledsoe explained. "But ... I'm a little too private for that so it's not my forte. ... The genre is so huge at this point and can be so many different things it's just another way to communicate with an audience, but as far as talking about my private life and stuff like that, it's not my thing."
Not that she's totally against the genre, as Bledsoe also appeared on VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club" and NBC's "Fear Factor." Her turn as the host of the TLC's home makeover series "Clean House," was a good experience, she said. "(It was) very good, a lot of hard work, but also very inspirational. It changed a lot of people's lives for the better."

I have recently started a COD4 server for my clan to play on and Im still a bit of a noob. When we first started to use the server we were all kicked with the following warning "Cvar cl_maxpackets [=30] must EQUAL TO 100".
After rooting around on the internet, I found the answer to this problem, tilde/shift button on game main screen, typed in "cl_maxpackets 100"
That worked for me and others in my clan, but whenever other players join the server they get the same warning and kicked from the server after a couple of minutes.
Again after rooting around on the internet the problem appears to be with punkbuster. What do I need to do to resolve this problem?, after checking it appears the easiest solution is to insert the line "pb_sv_cvar cl_maxpackets in 30 100"?. If that is the solution where do I insert the line into, as I can't find pb.cfg file, or do I type it into the console box within the game?, can I add it via CoD Rcon? which I admin the server with.
Ive changed the setting on my pc back to 30 and played on other server, without issue.
Im totally lost and getting frustrated as I have lost 50 players with this problem.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.

The parent company of Realogy Corp., the Parsippany-based real estate services firm, has announced plans to raise $1 billion through a proposed initial public offering of common stock.
Domus Holdings Corp. said today it filed a registration statement for the IPO with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission, with plans to use the proceeds to repay debt. The number of shares to be offered and price range for the $1 billion offering have not been determined, the firm said in a news release.
Realogy, which has about 1,300 employees in New Jersey, owns and franchises real estate brokerage brands like Century 21, Coldwell Banker and Sotheby's International Realty. The global firm also has business units specializing in corporate relocation and title and settlement services.
Domus' announcement comes as the housing market shows glimmers of hope after several years in the doldrums. In an April interview with NJBIZ, Realogy CEO Richard A. Smith said he was encouraged by slightly increasing sale prices, for-sale homes that are receiving multiple bids and other positive signs in the market.
"People have been sitting on the sidelines for almost five years now and they're tired. And they've got to make a decision," Smith said. "Their households have increased in size, they're tired of renting and they've made a decision, given those local market dynamics and very low mortgage rates, to pull the trigger."
Now owned by Apollo Management L.P., a private equity firm, the company has been publicly traded in the past. Realogy is a spinoff of Cendant Corp., the former real estate, travel and hotel conglomerate that broke up its business units in 2006.
The company had considered leaving New Jersey but is staying in the state, thanks in large part to an incentive package from the Economic Development Authority. The firm plans to move to a new 270,000-square-foot headquarters, in Madison, by 2013.

Resurgence Anti-Aging Products
Firm Skin for a Youthful Appearance
As women approach and pass through menopause, the drop-off in estrogen production results in a slow-down of collagen production. In some studies, skin has been shown to lose up to thirty-percent of its collagen in the first five years after menopause. For women experiencing menopause, this can mean loose and sagging skin or a deepening of visible wrinkles. Murad Resurgence is specifically developed, using the Science of Cellular Water™ to combat the loose skin and wrinkles that develop as a result of Hormonal Aging in women.
