Oh, THESE pants?
I've been on the lookout for a new purse for a long, long time. A few weeks ago, I thought I'd finally found "the one" — cognac leather with gold hardware, both crossbody and shoulder straps, affordable — so I mustered the courage to ask my long-suffering husband to take a few photos of me with the bag to send to a friend for her opinion. Ultimately I decided the purse wasn't right for me – a bit too big and squishy – so I went to South Coast Plaza to return it.
As I was walking down the mall wearing the same pants I had on in the photos, a woman came up to me and said, "I have those same skinny cargo jeans! Don't you just LOVE J.Brand?!" My pants weren't J.Brand, but for probably the first time in my life, standing there in the middle of the luxury mall with the highest sales in the U.S., I was too embarrassed to divulge where I'd purchased them. So I just smiled, said "yes" (because I do happen to like J.Brand) and went on my way.
Apparently, these are the pants she was talking about:
[J. Brand Maverick (l), and on Sarah Michelle Gellar (m); J. Brand Grayson (r)]
I pretty much forgot about the incident until I had to brave that mall again today, and an adorable Nordstrom associate said: "I just love your Rag and Bone pants — I have the same ones on hold downstairs." This time, perhaps because she was so sweet and young, I felt the need to come clean.
"Thanks," I said, "but these pants aren't Rag and Bone. I'm a little embarrassed to tell you where I bought them…"
"Target?" she offered.
"No, worse." When I told her where, she practically shouted. "Stand up, turn around, tell me exactly when and where you bought them, and what size!" She was so excited, she dragged me over to the monitor to find them online.
So here you go, my secret shame. Those pants, thrown into my cart on a whim after passing them on an endcap during a grocery shopping trip, are from Walmart. And oddly enough, my first non-Hanes-t-shirt Walmart clothing purchase suddenly, and very unintentionally, has become the most talked about item from my closet.
Please note that although perhaps warranted, this post is not intended to invoke a commentary on unfair labor practices, nor on cheap designer knockoffs threatening the future of retail. It is simply a tip I would pass along to my sister or a friend about some cute, cheap pants I stumbled upon that wash and wear surprisingly well. (Also, I'm 5'8″ and usually have to shop online for tall sizes, but these are long enough as is.)
The No Boundaries Juniors Skinny Cargo Pants are $16.88 and still available (in limited sizes and colors) on walmart.com:
In early December 1998, our first year in Arizona, we found a surprise on the doorstep: a wire whisk, tied with a ribbon and a note from our neighbors that read, "We WHISK you a Merry Christmas!" How nice, I thought — I'll bring them some cookies. Then, as progressively more elaborate and creative "neighbor gifts" appeared, the surprise turned to dismay. Each new gift signified one more I'd have to make in return.
It's safe to say I was initially not a fan of the neighbor gift tradition. I had virtually no budget for 40+ gifts, no idea what to give, and very little time in the holiday frenzy to make or deliver them. Bah humbug.
It took a couple years, but I eventually came around. The key, for me, was finding something I could easily replicate year after year — a "signature" gift: homemade hot fudge and caramel sauces in reusable glass jars. Having two, no-fail recipes I could make ahead and store in the fridge until delivery day greatly reduced the stress factor and freed me up to focus on the fun part: connecting with neighbors and friends. Plus, it's a relatively budget-friendly option, and I could add a little variety just by switching up the container.
Although the hot fudge was never refused, the most anticipated was always the caramel sauce. (I have one friend who called me to confess she ate an entire jar, cold, in a single sitting.)
I've experimented with plenty of caramel sauce recipes since, but I keep coming back to this one – it's easy to make and consistently delicious, hence "favorite." There are no tricky 'do not stir' warnings, and no candy thermometer needed — just throw everything (except the vanilla) into a big pan and give it a stir every so often. It does take a little babysitting, but it's mostly hands-off.
It's a thick sauce, and a bit lighter in color – imagine a melted version of those homemade soft caramels that come wrapped in wax paper. I love it cold, straight out of the jar with pretzel sticks and heated, served with a warm brownie and chopped pecans. (If you're serving on ice cream, make sure it's good and hot; otherwise the ice cream freezes it into chewy candy.)
The basis for my recipe comes from the 1996 edition of Betty Crocker's New Cookbook – a present from my sister and still one of my favorite cookbooks ever. I tweaked it by adding just enough flaky sea salt to bring out the sweetness (if you're not sure about the salt, start with ½ teaspoon), and reducing the butter by about half.
Favorite Salted Caramel Sauce
Adapted from Betty Crocker's New Cookbook [1996]
Yield: About 2 cups
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1/2 cup light corn syrup (Karo brand is non HF)
1 tsp. flaky sea salt (I use Maldon)
1 tsp. pure vanilla
Heat all ingredients except vanilla to boiling in heavy, large saucepan (mixture will double in size during the cooking process) over medium heat, stirring constantly; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook about 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is caramel colored. Stir in vanilla. Pour into containers and allow to cool. Store in refrigerator up to 2 months. If desired, sprinkle top with a few flakes of sea salt just before delivering. Serve hot or warm.

A few favorite containers used over the years:
Crate and Barrel: Weck 4.5 oz. canning jar
IKEA: RAJTAN and BURKEN (mini version, currently not shown on the website)
World Market: White Lidded Spice Jar and Weck 1/5 Liter Glass Jar
Walmart: Ball 4 oz. Quilted Jelly Jars (pictured in this post)
Michael's: Check the wedding department favor section for a great selection of options, including the Glass Snap-Top Jars, then use the 40%-off coupon.
Budget Option: One year I couldn't find enough glass containers, so I packaged the sauces in 4 oz. deli containers from Smart and Final and presented them in a clear cellophane bag tied with a ribbon.
This salad cured my lifelong belief that canned tuna requires mayonnaise. The beans mellow the tuna, and the fresh lemon juice (a must!) brightens all the flavors. On fast days, we serve it on fresh spinach or in lettuce wraps; or, if we're feeling particularly decadent, on a 100-calorie whole-grain sandwich bun. Read more…

Recently, my husband stopped me on my way out to ask if I had anything on the calendar for the following weekend; I said no. By the time I returned, he'd booked flights to visit his father in Hawaii. With only a few days' notice and a single carry-on bag, I had no idea what to pack.
Poor me.
After Googling "what to wear to the beach Hawaii" and not finding what I wanted – barely there cutoff shorts and teeny bikinis don't really work for me – I started from scratch. Though "beachwear" was a given, early spring weather in Honolulu can be unpredictable. Plus, whatever I packed for the beach would also have to work for lunch, sightseeing, shopping and anywhere else my photographer husband might want to stop along the way.
I decided to stick with a basic palette of black, white and gray — a strong trend for spring (though when is it ever not appropriate?) and I already own a lot of it — punched up with some chambray, coral (it is Hawaii, after all), and a few gold accessories.

Rated 3 out of 5 by BillfromEAMEBrussels Staffing levels The hotel was in good shape, and the experience was pleasant on an overall basis. I felt, however, that you were not sufficiently staffed in terms of front desk, concierge, and Guest Services Hotline personnel. Check-in was totally backed up. And getting responsiveness from the Guest Services hotline was difficult. I know that the hotel was close to 100% occupancy. But the hotel felt unprepared to cope with this level of demand. December 9, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by AlanLisaDallas Nice stay My wife & I stayed for 5 days -- the rooms and staff were excellent. The location is good too - walking distance to most everything, but not as busy as Times Square. Check-in with Rirani was a pleasure - she solved our problems! April 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by sleepy99 LOUD HOTEL very very busy and loud lobby area, unorganized check in. Hallways were loud at night after 10 pm, doors slamming etc... not very restful even though the beds were very comfortable. We were running a 1/2 marathon the next morning, and sleeping was not a good option at this hotel. April 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Clifton Hotel has gone down hill Facilities and room felt tired and needed updating. Meeting rooms on lower level were too hot. I returned to my room one afternoon to find a housekeeper sitting on my sofa, playing on her phone. Check room line was 30 people long, had one person working the room and took 20 minutes to check a bag. April 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by BILL21212121212121 Just OK Rooms were fine...Great location to Tiems Square..Had two complaints--First, If i am going to spend $6 on a can of Dt. Coke from the mini-bar(which is stupid to begin with), I would expect that its not 8 months out of date. Is that too much to ask for?? Also it would be nice if someone had the authority or nohow to change the ink cartridge on the ONE printer/computer they have availible for printing off airplane boarding passes.. December 10, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Pk4367 Construction at all hours Didnt enjoy my stay this time. Construction at the hotels runs from 700am until 930pm. They put me on the floor right below. Answers from the staff ranged from "there's no construction" to the standard "it's a third party contractor that we don't control". To add insult, the tub was clogged so by the time my shower was done, I was ankle deep in soapy swamp water. Far from my normal SPG experience. I won't be staying here again. December 17, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jim52 Problems Solved I was very worried. I made reservations online and prepaid for three rooms during holiday season. We arrived after a. Full day of sightseeing. Tired, hungry and ready to be in a room. I was informed that the rooms we reserved were not available. The staff worked with the manager and solved the problems. We got exactly what we ordered. The room was outstanding and very clean. The location and views are perfect!! Thanks. December 29, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by SC33 Rude staff I had a reservation for three nights, The system did not have me down for the third night. The staff were rude and not appologetic over their hotel system error. Talking to me as if it was my problem and not theirs. The head of the cleaning crew and the manager should know better how to talk to the hotel guests at a time like this. Very dissappointed. The staff did not accomodate us. We are not staying at this hotel ever again. April 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by em73 basics and wifi Other hotels I have been to wifi is free in the rooms. I had to pay $15 a day...why??? Only reason I got it was because of my 2 year old daughter who needed it to watch her favorite tv shows on our ipad. Room service prices way too expensive. I ate out each night as it was much cheaper for the same quality food. also the hotel didn't provide basics like toothpaste....had to pay for when it was provided for free in other hotels. April 10, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by dvs2013 Don't eat at this Sharaton The front desk staff & maid service was excellent. Hotel does not have any formal dining and tried to pull it off for New Years. The food was horrible (tasted like some sort of frozen packaged warmed up) couldn't even make a vodka tonic correctly. The food service staff was rude and had the nerve to build in a 15% gratuity for a table of 4. Unbelievable a hotel in midtown Manhatten doesn't have a decent restaurant. Thumbs down. January 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by AndreaC just a big confusione I was there during the New York Marathon period. Hotel is still under renovation, got an upgrade because of my platinum spg status, the suite was just a big room, not at all a suite...small bathroom...basic amenities, no minibar...no service at all...every time you dial 0, they tell you to call somebody else...even at the lounge, such a small one for a big hotel, and totally unprofessional and unfriendly staff! so disappointed! December 16, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by RLS1 Great staff Room had neither a desk chair nor a desk. Hard to work in the room either. Staff were outstanding. I was in a rush checking out and there was a line of 15 people checking in. a manager stepped out from behind the front desk, took my room number and went to the back office and checked me out. phenomenal, I made my flight thanks to this awesome support. March 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rbarbiedoc Outstanding management and front desk staff We were a group of twelve that found ourselves in New York with no booked rooms. The Sheraton staff went above and beyond the expected to make this a most pleasant and relaxing visit. In particular, Mr. Fish is to be personally commended for his outstanding service in accommodating our group and its concerns. Special thanks also to "E" at the front desk who worked tirelessly with us during a very busy Passover and Easter week. April 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lisa2014 Great except... Staff was exceptional in all areas from front desk, bell men and the housekeeping staff!! I was sad to learn of the "extra" fee to use the fitness area. On a side note my car was damaged in the parking garage. I just wish I had more time to have voiced the issue when departing. I understand the garage is not owned by the hotel however I would not have parked their if it was not for the visit at the hotel. January 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by rf17 Great Front Desk Service Leads to Great Stay We took the family ( five kids) to Manhattan for Spring Break. While this was a little daunting, we recieved terrific check in service from Ahmed at the Gold/Platinum desk. He got us great rooms; showed us the value of paying for the Club Lounge and made sure our stay was fantastic. It was. We had a great time. On the way out, Ahmed corrected some errors on our bill. All in all, a terrific stay that started and ended well. April 8, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by paulc Like Staying in Grand Central I have one main complaint. Every time I had to go through the lobby, there were always throngs of people standing around making it very difficult to pass through. And I do mean every time. Something should be done to move people to another area to congregate so that guests can enter and leave without feeling like they have to push through a crowd. I have stayed at this hotel before, and it was like this the last time too. March 26, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by MokHK average overpriced hotel the location of the hotel is excellent, conveniently within 5 minute walk of multiple subway lines. this building has 51 floors and i had requested high floor room almost two months in advance, however upon check-in, no rooms were available and i was stuck with 9th floor the room itself was average, some paint was chipping off the walls and there are no towel racks in the room, where do you put the towel after using it? August 21, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by wsimpson53 Wait 8 hours for a room to be ready? Really? I took my family to the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel this past weekend for a very special treat to visit NYC. We booked two rooms so we could spread out a little bit. I arrived at the hotel at 2pm and was told no rooms would be ready until after 3pm, which seemed fair enough. We went out to enjoy the sites and came back to the hotel at 7pm, when we were told one room was ready, but the other was not and would be ready "shortly". I called at 8pm and the second room was still not ready. We got a call from the front desk that the room was ready and someone would come to the room with a key in 5 minutes. 30 minutes later, just after 10pm, after a day of traveling and site seeing my wife and I were able to get into our room. I was very impressed with the rest of the hotel, but waiting that long for a room reserved months in advance is completely unacceptable. November 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Michael45 Great hotel We had a problem with our room(s) upon check-in. The front desk was more than accomodating and I did not have to raise my voice in order to be heard and understood. We received a level of satisfaction that left us feeling great. They knew what they should do and just did the right thing! Room service was excellent and our room was clean and comfortable! I love the bath products!!! The club level is one of the best around! December 3, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lamrhein Hotel overcharges This is a nice hotel but you have charged my credit card more than appears on the bill I received, even the updated email bills. I checked out over two days ago. Now I have to take time during work to call to get the problem rectified. This is not the first time this has happened. I cannot recommend a hotel that consistently overcharges. March 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MCN1107 everything was fine except for shades in room I stay at this hotel very often and notice that in a lot of the rooms, the black out shades show a lot of wear and tear and don't work very well. In this room, it was worse in that there was no cord or way to pull them down, and so the room was lit all night with the lights from the buildings across the street. maybe because it was a accessible room, there was a switch somewhere that i couldn't find. January 30, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by coxy2013 Hot Water shut off notification I appreciate that facilities need to be upgraded, and there will be disruptions. But the notification of this disruption, via voice mail 15 minutes before it happened is inexcusable. By the time I heard the voice mail the Hot Water was shut off, and my early flight the following day meant that it was still shut off. With more notification I could have made adjustments to my schedule and had a shower that evening. December 21, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by neveragain72 Very Disappointed Would not stay at this property again. Were advised that we would be getting amenities that we were charged an additional fee for. When I protested at the desk the clerk replied "It doesn't matter, we don't care...we are full every night." The room would not cool down despite the Air Conditioning being set to the lowest setting. Very uncomfortable. The property overall was unimpressive and the staff was downright rude. June 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by krigger Great hotel I have stayed in a couple of other Starwood properties in NYC and I would have to say this one is the best. The location was fantastic for us. It's close to the park and Times Square. It is also very quiet. The only real problem I had was with check in. We had an early flight coming in to the city and just wanted to go up to the room and relax for a bit. We tried to check in around noon (which I knew would probably not happen) and were told our room wasn't ready yet. I tried again at 2:00 and was then told check in isn't allowed until 3. This hard stance on check in time makes the check in line super long right at 3. I was lucky to be a gold member and only had to wait for one person. Other than the check in the rest of the week was fantastic. The fitness center looked really nice and the internet was fast in the room. I look forward to the next time I can stay here. September 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Matt Rude reception The front staff on the day I check out was so rude to me. To explain, she didn't put the reciept in the envelope, so I asked for that which is a very normal hotel standard. Then, she told that I should have asked her before she left from the printer. How can I know where the envelope located? In front of her or at the printer just few steps away indeed!! This was very down Sheraton from my perception. Never be back!!! April 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by galago05 Attentive housekeeping staff. We were in town to get married and had not let the hotel know in any way. Nevertheless, some of the housekeeping staff saw us coming back to the hotel after the ceremony (all dressed up) and wrote us a really nice card and brought a bottle of sparkling wine. Highly appreciated. April 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by fisherbeer This hotel is perfectly located! My wife and I visited NYC for my son's graduation from medical school. We also planned to do some shopping, take in some Broadway shows and enjoy great dining. The Sheraton NY Times Square Hotel was perfectly situated. Close to the graduation at Lincoln Center, close to great shopping and dining and close to Broadway. We have stayed here during several trips and as usual, the hotel met all or needs and expectations. June 3, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by MFP123 Mildew room It was a great location. The rooms are small but that is to be expected because of the location. There was scaffolding all around the building. My husband started wheezing every time we went to our room. It finally hit me the last day of our stay that there was a mold/mildew smell as you entered our room. The beds were dreadfully uncomfortable. Not sure why we did not get a sweet sleeper. I think we were on granite. April 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by RALPHIE62 Much improved I had avioded this Sheraton for years because of the cheap furnishings and overall inadequacy of the rooms. At long last they've had a meaningful renovation and added comfort and eye appeal. I'd recommend now and will return. April 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by AtlantaGirl Very comfy, but loud outside The staff members were very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable. I was surprised at how much of the street noise traveled up to our 27th floor room - mostly sirens. Would recommend bringing earplugs just in case. Overall, would recommend this hotel.

An Intimate Yet Exquisite Home Wedding
Like a scene out of a designer fairytale, Josephine and Erick transformed their sprawling Belmont estate into an intimate wonderland on their wedding day.
The couple showed their love for friends and family with guest-friendly touches like a quirky photo booth and gourmet goodie bags filled with pink Himalayan sea salt and Bespoke chocolates. The newlyweds even had their French bulldogs Bodie and Bella act as ring bearer and flower girl for the ceremony.
Despite the small, familial touches, the reception was anything but homely. Guests dined on exquisite seafood masterpieces and local wines, while black chandeliers suspended mid-air competed with the stars for attention. After putting their four-footed babies to bed, the bride and groom joined the guests on the terrace to dance the night away while overlooking the rolling Santa Cruz hills.

About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.
From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.
While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

Please help answer this hydrology related question. Please show all steps for the answer given. Only correct and detailed answers will be accepted. Thank you.
A driver is traveling 55 mi/hr on a wet road. An object is spotted on the road 450 ft ahead and the driver is able to come to a stop just before hitting the object. Assuming standard perception/reaction time and practical stopping distance, determine the grade of the road.
An equal-tangent crest vertical curve has a 50 mi/h design speed. The initial grade is +3%. The high point is at station 33+37.43 and the PVT is at station 37+18.26. What is the elevation difference between the high point and the PVT?

Pantry Staples: Pearl Barley
I get a little panicky if I realize I'm low on barley. I can't ever seem to get enough of its chewy texture or nutty-sweet flavor, and I depend it for rounding out quick weeknight meals. I probably eat more barley these days than rice! It's definitely a good one to have in the pantry.
Pearl, or pearled, barley has the outer hull and some of the outer bran removed. This gives it a more uniform shape and it's signature polished, pearly appearance. Pearl barley also cooks fairly quickly, in about thirty minutes, making it an good alternative to rice or pasta on weeknights.
The ratio I use for cooking barley is 2 1/2 cups of broth or water per cup of barley. Bring the broth to a boil, add the barley, turn the heat down, and cover until the barley is tender, about 30 minutes. This makes enough for dinner plus leftovers the next day, or enough for one big grain salad. I also love using broth instead of water for extra flavor and richness.
Keep an eye out for hulled barley. This is barley with only the hull removed so the bran is left intact. It takes longer to cook, but has a higher nutritional value and a nuttier flavor. You can often find it in bulk bins at food co-ops and places like Whole Foods.
Here are some of my favorite barley recipes:
• Roasted Beet Salad with Barley, Feta, and Red Onions
• Summer Barley Salad with Zucchini and Corn
• Mushroom Casserole
• Beef and Barley Stew
What are your favorite ways to eat barley?

Thought the title said "Pearl Bailey" at first. Gotta remember to wear my glasses.
I cook pearl barley with my rice in the microwave. It cooks easily enough and cuts down on my rice consumption.
Pearl barley with cucumber, yogurt, dill, and lemon. Great for summer!
Love that barley! I especially like it in soups. Also, you can cook it and eat it with milk and sweet condiments like you'd eat oatmeal or cream of wheat. Yum!
I love pearl barley! For a long time I had only ever eaten it in soups, but I bought some for the purpose of trying it in another context, and one night we winged it and tossed it up with the cauliflower, mushrooms, pancetta and parmesan we had laying around, and it was delicious! we've made the dish again many times since.
and left overs from dinner can be used to make a breakfast "fried rice". Cook some sausage in a pan until browned, throw in the left over barley, crack and egg or two over it all, cook until egg is fully cooked then melt a little cheddar cheese on top, sometimes I throw in a bit of chopped tomato as well. Yumm!!
A great substitute for meat in veggie chili. Bun + tofu dog + veggie chili + fixin's equals veggie chili dog!
Pearl Barley can also be made in a rice cooker! I do 2 rice cooker cups of barley and to the "3" line in the cooker and let it go. The other day I made barley tabbouleh that was delicious!
I love barley in hearty salads. I made this Mediterranean Roasted Veggie Barley Salad in the past and loved it.

"Just what I wanted for a return label in terms of size and print quality. Super fast production and delivery. Would absolutely order again."
"I ordered these for my husband and I just before our wedding to use for our thank you cards. We both agreed on this design and absolutely loved. We loved it so much we went back and ordered 100 more. I highly recommend them to anyone needed labels. I'm considering ordering them for friends as gifts."
"I absolute love these. I wasn't sure how good the quality would be, but its great. The black background is a deep color and the labels have a good thickness to them. I would definitely buy this again. The only negative I had in the experience is that my order got delivered to the wrong place, but Customer Service responded very quickly to my problem."
"The colors are perfect, bright, and cheerful. They match any card I am sending out and are perfect for every occasion. It was just what I was looking for."
"Tiny Prints products always arrive in a timely fashion; these chic labels were no different. I've used these labels in the past and I was delighted to order them again. Excellent paper quality. Uniform adhesive. Brightly colored graphics. Cheerful design. Loved the color options."

Yet another update from my Altair Project
I made some bracers, folks! And it was quite easy, as you can see they are really just the basic stuff. It cost me some hours but mainly because I don't have access to a sewing machine anymore.
I hope all steps for making them are clear in this photoset but if you have some questions feel free to ask :)
The materials are pleather, felt, eyelets and some leather straps. I used a eyelet plier as well.
Next step: The bracer plates. Yey.

A Covington County woman was murdered inside her home by her boyfriend on Saturday who later killed himself.
Covington County Sheriff's Deputy Michael Kelly said Saturday's homicide and suicide was a "complete and utter tragedy that claimed the life a beloved citizen."
Blanche Lott, 55, was found dead inside her childhood home Saturday night; only hours after Seminary's Christmas parade.
Lott was described as a local good Samaritan known best for her volunteer work with the elderly.
"She was my better half. She was the perfect woman," said Lott's 33-year-old son, Jason.
Jason, who has cerebral palsy, depended on his mother as his caregiver. When Jason hadn't heard from his mother on Saturday he asked neighbor Constable Billy Pitts to check on her. Pitts discovered Lott dead in her bedroom from multiple gun shot wounds.
Clues at the scene pointed towards Lott's boyfriend, Frank Del Garza. According to investigators, Garza fled the scene, and later shot himself in front of his parents' grave in Edenburg, Texas.
"I don't know who's going to take care of me now," said Jason. "I just want to fall asleep and wake up with my momma."
A memorial service for Blanche Lott will be held at Mount Horeb Baptist Church Cemetery Thursday afternoon, December 6th, at 3 pm. Billy King Memorial Chapel in Collins is taking care of arrangements.

Battle Group Omega
Assembled jointly by the Federation and the Klingon Empire to counter the Borg threat, Battle Group Omega (also known Task Force Omega or Omega Force) is a fleet stationed at the Transwarp Conduit in the Cestus Sector. It serves as a deep space staging ground for incursions into Borg space and is also a faction in the personal Reputation System. A nearby asteroid belt provides raw materials and supplies for the fleet, while a nearby rogue moon emits low-level delta radiation, which hides the fleet's energy signature from the Borg.
The Klingon Empire and Federation have a tentative ceasefire agreement in place in order to deal with the Borg threat; therefore, players of both factions will be able to access this area.
In this location you will find one fleet of starships from each faction holding position and providing various services to your Captain. You must be within 3 km of a starship to utilize its services.
- Battle Group Omega was first formed in 2379 in response to the threat by the I.R.W. Scimitar. At the time, it consisted of just eight starships - U.S.S. Enterprise-E, U.S.S. Intrepid, U.S.S. Valiant, U.S.S. Galaxy, U.S.S. Aries, U.S.S. Nova, U.S.S. Hood, and U.S.S. Archer.
- In 2409 the task force - now consisting of dozens of starships - is deployed in the Cestus Sector at the far side of the Transwarp Conduit. It is led by Admiral D'Vak of the U.S.S. Victory.

A key achievement of the Forum has been to reduce the live export of calves by 90%: now just 2% of dairy calves born in Britain are exported live abroad. Professor John Webster, Emeritus Professor of Animal Husbandry at the University of Bristol speaking at the Calf Forum event emphasised that despite the title of the Forum, it's not about exports but alternatives.
The recent laboratory development of an in-vitro beef burger created from stem cells is causing quite a buzz amongst consumers. Most people's first reaction is one of disgust and trepidation. And then the many questions: how can I eat meat that was grown in a lab made possible only by human engineering?
Have you ever eaten veal? If not, you're not alone. Many people don't understand what veal is or think it's cruel because it comes from calves killed at a young age. Surely it's better to ensure they are treated well, and produce higher welfare meat from them, than let them go to waste as a simple by-product?
Ever seen cows dance? Okay, ever seen cows leap for joy? Or rubbing their faces into the earth for a good scratch, or bumping heads with each other? ...

Found December 29, 2012 on NFL Injury Report:
PLAYERS: Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, Heath Miller
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers
Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace, who's an unrestricted free agent after the season, acknowledged that last weekend's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals could have been his final game with the team, reports Ralph N. Paulk of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I definitely don't want to go out like that," Wallace said. "I really want to end on a high note. "I've got big plans no matter the situation. I have big plans for myself and my family. Hopefully everything will go in a positive manner." Wallace said that he would consider returning to the Steelers if his agent can work out a deal with the team. If not, Pittsburgh could elect to use the franchise tag on Wallace, which would cost them more than $10 million next season. Wallace has proven to be a dynamic receiver since joining the Steelers. He caught 64 passes for 836 yards and eight touchdowns this season and had 1,193 and 1,257 receiving yards in 2011 and 2010. If the Steelers elect to let Wallace walk over the offseason they would have Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders slated as their starting receivers next year along with tight end Heath Miller, who led the team in receptions in 2012.

The area of northeastern Arizona is now located at approximately 35 degrees north latitude in a temperate zone with four distinct seasons. Around 200 million years ago thanks to tectonic shift, this same location was located in the equatorial tropics. This was a verdant, warm, damp region with rivers and streams, not the arid and cold desert it is today. Millions of conifers dotted the landscape, many topping 200 feet, accompanied by thousands of other temperate and subtropical species. This setting provided food and shelter for a wide variety of primordial creatures. Fossil deposits of this area are in the sediments of the Chinle Formation of the Colorado Plateau. The entire landmass was on the western shores of Pangaea, the supercontinental 'mother' to our present continents. It is this area that gave rise to the Petrified Forest areas of northeastern Arizona.
Over eons of time normal weather patterns knocked over some of these conifers, depositing them under lowland flood plains or within streambeds, breaking them up along the way. This process was accompanied by volcanic eruptions to the west which deposited millions of tons of mineral-rich volcanic ash onto the sediment and over the felled trees. The vast majority of these trees simply decomposed, leaving no evidence of their towering existence at all. A fortunate few, microscopic in comparison to the former forests remained, transformed into a beautiful permanence. The fossilised remnants we see today are comprised of three now-extinct species: Araucarioxylon arizonicum, Woodworthia and Schilderia. Their nearest relatives in the present world are the
Araucaria Heterophyllia - "Norfolk Island Pine"
Origin: Norfolk Island between Australia and New Zealand; Range: Widespread across the temperate climatic zones

Araucaria Araucana - "Monkey Puzzle Tree"
Origin: Chile and Western Argentina. Range: Widespread across the temperate climatic zones.
N.B.: This tree is the "National Tree" of Chile
Credit: Purdue University Agricultural and Gardening Website
The logs buried under sedimentary deposits before they could decompose were the fortunate few. Ground water within the sediment dissolved silica from the volcanic ash and passed it through the tree remnants (logs, branches, roots). Over hundreds of centuries, this mineral solution gradually crystallized as quartz, replacing the cell walls in the tree remnants completely. What we see in these 'petrified wood' is in fact silicified wood - a mineral replacement so exact that it is a virtually "to-the-molecule" natural pseudomorph. In some cases it is not only an exact mineral replication of the surface area and form, but also reveals much of the internal cell structure. Various minerals have combined with the quartz to yield dazzling colour combinations (see Mineral Tincture section below). While the exact process of cell structure replication is not yet known, the general molecular process of petrification can be described: the configuration of silicon and oxygen permits an open bonding arrangement that enables other ions to occupy the interstitial positions in the molecules and bond to them, yielding these colours.
Examples of preservation of external and internal form / structure

For well over 100 million years, burials of this nature and continental drift took place. About 60 million years ago the entire area was uplifted, forming part of the Colorado Plateau. Over time wind and water erosion removed layers of soil and rock, gradually exposing the Chinle Formation and it's petrified jewels. Travellers to the Petrified Forest National Park can now see these brittle, fractured "tree remnant" Biographs scattered across the landscape by Mother Nature. What an artist she is!
Northeastern Arizona is not the only location where petrified wood can be experienced. Below are some photographs of petrified wood from around the globe:
Queensland, Australia
Bisti Wilderness, New Mexico, U.S.A.
Maranhao State, Brazil
Escalante, Morrison Formation, Utah, U.S.A.
Calistoga, California, U.S.A.
Madagascar Island (Malagasy Republic), S.E. Africa
Thiruvakkarai, India
Sentinel Buttes, North Dakota, U.S.A.
Nakkon, Thailand
Junggar Basin, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China
As indicated above, various minerals yield various colours. Here is a description, colour by colour:
Red / Pink:
The source of red and pink in petrified wood is hematite, a form of oxidized iron. The depth and richness of the colour depends on the quantity of hematite. As water carrying dissolved iron moves through the buried trees, it causes oxygen in the tree material to bond with the iron.

Blue and Purple:
The presence of manganese dioxide (MnO2) results in a blue or purple colour to petrified wood.

This colour is produced by silica dioxide (SiO2) and is most often encountered in permineralised wood in which the cell structure is more accurately replecated.

Scientists have long wondered why certain personality traits covary, or appear together. Psychological scientist Aaron W. Lukaszewski (Loyola Marymount University) proposes in a European Journal of Personality paper that some traits are calibrated based on environmental cues, such as an individual's power to bargain with others. Calibration based on overlapping environmental cues would explain why certain traits tend to covary, even when they have unique psychometric and neuroanatomical roots. More>>

Union Wharf, Bozzuto's $70 million apartment project on the Fell's Point waterfront, will be complete by the end of the year, the company says.
According to Jenna Miller, marketing manager of the Bozzuto Management Company, the Wolfe-Street side of the 281-apartment development will be completed between early May and late July; along the pier, the building should be completed by this year's fourth quarter.
Meredith Streppa, an assistant property manager of Union Wharf, said that leases are already being signed for the rent-only complex, which will see its first move-ins in early May.
"Apartments are booming all around the city—there's definitely a demand," Streppa said.
"Our demographic is young professional, 25 to 35, single," said Miller in an email. "Young couples and empty-nesters will be attracted to us as well."
The project, located south of the intersection of Wolfe and Thames streets, is Bozzuto all the way. The Bozzuto Group closed on the 4-acre lot in November of 2011, breaking ground that same month, according to Miller. The Bozzuto Management Company will manage the apartments.
The 281 apartments are designed from over 60 different floor plans, according to Streppa, ranging in size from 596 to 1,435 square feet, from studios to two-bedroom units with dens. Rents range from $1,610 to $3,215. Units have stainless steel appliances, espresso wood cabinets, and granite counter tops.
"Residents pick water-view, city-view, and the different floor plans they want," said Streppa, adding that the building is LEED-certified, a designation standing for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
"Low-flow" faucets and Energy Star appliances are other green features that also lead to lower utility bills, Streppa said.
The five-floor residential part of the building wraps around a hidden, six-story parking garage with 1.9 spaces available per unit, Streppa said. The development includes 12,000 square feet of amenity space, including a lounge/bar, billiards area, theater, and fitness center. There are also three "pocket parks," Streppa said, and many of the individual units have balconies; some have terraces.
The development has some retail space fronting Thames St.; a restaurant is one possibility, Streppa said.
According to Miller, Wolfe and Thames streets will remain "cobblestone, pedestrian-oriented streets."
"Generally speaking, traffic flow will remain consistent on Wolfe and Thames streets," she wrote.
A 2010 memorandum on a preliminary traffic analysis performed by Whitman, Requardt & Associates determined that "the proposed development would have a traffic impact on the existing public roadway network." The analysis used traffic data from a previous study, the "Southeast Area Transportation Study." It found that traffic volumes at Aliceanna Street's intersections with S. Ann St. and Wolfe St. were satisfactory, but the intersection at Aliceanna and Boston streets had more traffic volume than could be handled at an acceptable level of service. Furthermore, the analysis noted that the Aliceanna and Boston intersection was so bad that traffic frequently backed up on Aliceanna beyond Wolfe and S. Ann streets.
Aliceanna St. is a block north of Union Wharf, which the analysis stated "may exacerbate this super-saturated traffic condition at these intersections. The memorandum, however, recommended that rather than require Bozzuto to commission an in-depth traffic study for $17,500, "those fees should be used for the implementation of improvements as determined by the city."
