Fire destroys Spencer home, kills pet dog
By Emily Ford
SPENCER — A Spencer man who buried his wife last week lost his house Thursday morning to a two-alarm blaze caused by "carelessly discarded smoking material," an official said.
Melvin Gladden lived at the house at 604 Third St. with his mother and two other adult relatives, according to neighbors. His mother and another female relative were at home when the fire started around 10:30 a.m. and escaped without injury.
A pet boxer named "Cinnamon" apparently perished in the blaze, neighbor Bernice Peterson said.
"It went up fast," said Peterson, who heard someone yelling "get out, get out" and then saw smoke pouring from the house.
About 40 firefighters responded to the blaze, which Spencer Fire Chief Jay Baker said investigators determined was started by smoking material.
Firefighters worked to knock down the flames and protect neighboring homes. The vinyl siding melted off one house, and two cars parked alongside the Gladden house were destroyed by fire.
Heavy, black smoke filled Third Street and was visible for blocks, at times obscuring homes and the long line of emergency vehicles parked in the road.
Firefighters entered the house for a short time but pulled back before the roof collapsed.
"We started in the defensive mode, there was so much fire," Baker said. "We got a good knock down and changed to offensive but didn't make much headway and lost it again and turned around back defensive."
The century-old, wood-frame house went up quickly, Baker said. The fire had consumed more than 60 percent of the home when firefighters arrived, he said.
"Many voids are in the walls, ceiling and all and makes it tough to fight," Baker said.
Peterson, who lives three doors away, was outside when she heard screaming. She said she had heard several loud pops when the fire started. She said neighbors moved a vehicle away from the front of the house before the truck caught fire.
Gladden's mother took refuge on Peterson's porch, crying as she watched the house burn. Other neighbors comforted her and Gladden, when he arrived on the scene from work.
Another neighbor reported hearing two loud noises just before the fire.
Gladden's wife, Jessica Gladden, 40, died April 6 at the home and was buried last week.
The fire left Melvin Gladden and his family destitute, said Sarah Thompson, his high school classmate.
"They have nothing left," she said.
Thompson is collecting clothes and household goods for the family at her business, Spencer Beauty and Barber Shop, 512 S. Salisbury Ave. in Spencer.

(SOD©!© lUTVISIKL'SZ' A-^IPACDISIlEIBo BY J. B. CHBYSTAL. My blue-eyed pet, with golden hair, Is sitting on my knee, And gazes eagerly afar, Across the beach, beyond the bar, Where rolls the restless sea. She puts her little hands in mine, And laughs with childish glee To see the foaming billows splash, Aa on the shore they freely drsh, Then glide back silently. But, while she laughs so merrily, My heart is far away; And, as I look upon the shore, Where loud andlong the breakersroqj--. My sad soul seems to say : "The sea is like a human life; It breaks upon the shore Of time, with a resistless might, And, when the goal is just iu sight, Hies—to return no more. "And, all along the shore of time, Jfull many wreck doth lie; The pangs of many a mad carouse, Of blasted hopes and broken vows, Of happy days gone by." Yet, while I muse in mournful mood, And gaze upon the sea. My blue-eyed pet, with golden hair, Whose heart has never known a care, Whose voice is music in the air, Still sMs upon my knee. Her head is resting on my breast— Her eyes in slumber deep; The same rough sea, whose breakers roar, And madly, fiercely lash the shore, Has lulled my child to sleep. A MACE .WITH WDlLYESo Heroism of a Pioneer's BangSiter. BY WILLIAM KENNEDY. Of the many lovely counties of Hew York, none present stronger points of attraction to the lover of the pictur- . esque than the beautiful eounty of Sul- sp™ *™* the composition. Begardlfa Hvan. Masses of rocks lay piled upoa-^f ^P^J^^^^^Tf^'^tf ^ in such magnificent elisor speak bad French. But she was a good snot, rode weE onhoiBeback, and was as swift on foot as Camilla herself; besides being deeply versed in the sublime arts of bread and butter-making, stocking-darning, mending, and all those other feminine mysteries of which the masculine mind is so profoundly ignorant, yet which tend so greatly to our comfort and delectation. I am not prepared to say, either, that she had what the ladies call good taste in dressing, though it would be difficult to find a more charming figure than she presented in her gray, home-spun dress, and neat little collar, or at* least so thought Alick Harden, on the eventful evening of which we are writing. '■ Said Alick was a gay young student; * who came to this wild region to spend, i his vacation in hunting among the j mountains, and had nearly finished ii. * by serving as lunch for a huge panthei, \ when he was fortunately rescued by twVi of Jacob's sons. -i j The wounds he had received were b~ 1* t slight, and he quickly recovered und j j Kate's careful nursing; but he still Ii .-1 gered unaccountably, though he mai3"- j f ested no disposition to accompany t: "■ j boys on their various excursions, seei_i- j ing to derive a vast amount of ■ amu^- j ment in watching Kate as she wcpj&l about her household duties. This pr&&~ f tice was sp^dily productive of the m-^afc! disastrous *pS*6lts; for, in the course^f 1 two weeks^Kate three times put buttf^ f milk in ,-the churn, twice burned tp;& | bread t0 a cinder, and finally set h!I \ their teeth on edge by the producti^a,; of a-lemon pie without a particle hai .t te tl: a: st" hi Tl ti" ti t? I' r :;isps, wben her heart gave a bound : seemed to send it to her throat, . then almost ceased to beat, as she ' i listening with such intensity that /ery breathing seemed suspended. 'j that t!he wind moaning through branches? Hearer and nearer came long, low, melancholy sound, and THE BOGUS PROCLAMATION, ona another der as if tossed there in the antediluvian revels of some of our gigantic first fathers. The roads wind broken and uneven through every variety of hill and dale, on one side not infrequently rising in some lofty mountain, waving with clustering foliage, and vocal with the song of birds, while on the other descends as abruptly a bristling precipice, the rugged horrors of its yawning gulf half hidden beneath, mantling vines, and only betraying its great depth by the faint musical tingle of the stream which hides in its grim bosom. But uninviting as are. the features it presents to-day, to arty but the tourist, sixty years ago so formidable were the obstacles it opposed, deemed by the fai?mera that wh.<9ii Jacob Weir* & sturdy Ie^ Seillli* .-,».-, dacious Alick still persisted in this t1-> i accountable course df conduct, dkui had made himself so particularly $>{ noxious to Kate that evening by jC-31 doing that she was continually blusbii r; i from sheer indignation; and it wm,c great relief when her father bade $ \ - get out the porringers and the pit, • r ding, as he was right-down hungl /" I Going to the dress'er, Kate uncovered r. mighty earthen dish, filled with itv lectable golden-hued substance, whi j, she forthwith served out with due ci ' and deliberation into nine bright pom - gers, and then proceeded to dxdwnll'* "\ a flood of yellow cream. This done, i fire was to be raked down, and the pj ringers placed on the coals; andfi( that luckless Alick, prompted .by i evil genius, attempting to assist h&T.; .\ she knew she had to run for her * for she had recognized the howl of ,yss, and'was sure they were already l\os track, .iaie was a courageous girl, and swift- :" loci as an antelope; but when the .ling pack burst from the bushes into ' ' ', and, glancing -over her shoulders :: '.he ran,' she saw them bounding n i fi her, their heads outstretched, their :.' tongues lolling from their open r. -:ths, snapping, growling and leap- i: ; madly up, thirsting and raging for Ii " blood, a sickening terror tookpos- c .. ion of her. Should her limbs' fail fr.t even for an instant; should she r. .:::ible or fall, she would inevitably be (ilv_ged down and torn in pieces by {'. 3& ravenous monsters.

The crops and the tow-heads grew apace—the one bringing money into Jacob's pocket, the other sunshine to his dwelling; and, as years went by, he began to be spoken of with due respect as a well-to-do and thriving man. Howhere was a heartier welcome to be obtained than at Jacob Weir's. Friend or acquaintance, or passing stranger, alike were sure of a seat at the hospitable board, and a warm nook in the chimney-corner. And such a chimney! none of your modern, degenerate fire-places, but a vast, black gulf, yawning almost the length of the house, and piled up to the very top with huge logs of hickory and hemlock, that crackled and blazed as though they enjoyed being burnt. No wonder hospitality is out of fashion now; for what man could ask another to take a seat in the corner of his range? It was in the early springtime of the year that our story commences, when Jacob and his family were gathered around the hearth, as was their wont, after their plain but abundant supper. Bright and strong blazed the fire, casting flickering shadows on the rough ceilings and rougher walls, flashing redly back from the well-scoured pewter on the dresser, lighting up the ruddy countenance of old Jacob, and the handsome ones of six tall, broad-shouldered and strong-limbed sons, and, finally, throwing a whole halo of light around the spot where sat the torment and the idol of the household, saucy, daring Kate, Jacob's only daughter. She was of the tallest height of woman, and her superb form, unshackled by the restraints of art, had all the elasticity and subtle grace which nature alone can give. Her features were noble and regular in outline; her eyes large, clear and blue as the heavens, and her wealth of golden hair that, when unbound, flowed almost to her feet, would have been the envy and delight of a fashionable hair-dresser. In short, she was a handsome, frank, unsophisticated girl, not in the least resembling the mincing, waddling, many-skirted belles who walk, or rather trundle, through our streets, with hollow chests, stooping shoulders, sallow skins daubed with rouge, with lack-luster eyes, that meet us with a cold, calculating stare. If or was she, indeed, "what could be termed a proper young lady; for, her mother dying early, and there being no neighbors save the birds and squirrels, her education had been conducted on rather an original system by her father and her brothers. She was not what is termed accomplished, for she had never seen a piano, knew nothing of crochet- wor&, and could neither dance nor teriously entangled, and Alick most in- * geniously contnved to upset the porringers into the fire. " Ha, ha, ha!" roared the brethren in chorus, as Alick and Kate sprung to their feet in dismay; and, "Ha, ha!" roared old Jacob, even his gravity being unable to withstand the frightened expression of the culprits' faces. " It is too bad," said Kate, greatly provoked; "men are always so stupid and awkward." " Ha, ha!" burst out Dan, the eldest of the six, "Kate's fingers are all thumbs lately." "Her wits are going wool-gathering, or rather flour-gathering," chimed in another, " ever since Joe, the miller's handsome son, brought the last load of flour to the house, and it took him and Kate all the afternoon to put six bags in the buttery." " Come here, Kate," said her father, " and don't mind those unlicked cubs. You have more pluck than them all, broad as their shoulders are." " Kate wants a little maple sugar to sweeten her temper," said Dan. "Pity it is so early in the season." " It's plain you didn't need any of the sap," retorted Kate, "when you left the dipper down in the bush tonight." . "I can't say how that it is,",answered Dan, "but, with all your pluck, you daren't go and fetch it." "I dare,land I will," answered Kate, now thoroughly roused. "Why, Kate, you are crazy," said her father. " It's more than a quarter of a mile from here, and the wolves are howling more than common to-night." "I don't care," answered Kate. " Go I will, and bring back the dipper, too; and then we will see who has the most pluck." In spite of the remonstrances of her father and the entreaties of the horror- stricken Alick to be permitted at least to accompany her, the headstrong girl persisted in going, and, putting on her shawl, hurried down the garden path, and was quickly lost to sight in the forest. It was a chilly evening, and the halo that encircled the moon, and the driving clouds that not infrequently obscured her broad disk, told of a coining storm. A light snow covered the ground, relieved here and there by occasional black patches of mud, and, as it crackled under her feet, Kate would start involuntarily, and look hastily around, fancying the tread of some wild animal. In tiie ghostly light, the trees seemed to stretch up to a greater height, and their gnarled branches look strange, fantastic shapes. Dark clumps of bushes seemed to her disturbed imagination crouching figures, ready to spring upon her, and not infrequently she paused and held her breath, thinking she saw the glare of eyeballs in the thicket, or heard the sound of stealthy breathing close beside her. Then, chiding herself for her weakness, she would hurry on, till at length the tall, slender boles of the maple trees defined themselves against the sky, and, seizing the dipper, with a sigh of relief, she turned "on ber home- mrd path. She might have advanced g©me Eras oi , id year 1823 witnessed the com- : tewevb of a speculation which cul- ksS ias crisis such as had not been ,/a since the South sea bubble. ,\' foreign loans to the nonlfa^, ^ "l^l *3n,#0^^n.;igB^08p^OO^.i'- >". ^z'^-uoiS--'^ * began the inevitable collapse." Chili and Brazil led the way with failures more or less redeemed in later years. Peru the penniless and Paraguay are to be found side by side, as in the records of 1875. Poyais, an independent state of Honduras, borrowed £100,000 on the personal security of GregorMacGregor, the cacique of the country, and proved a worthy precursor of its present representative by failing to provide the interest on a single coupon. Its scrip, adorned with all the high-flown titles of its author, long served the turn of petty jobbers, and may even now occasionally be found reserved as a curiosity of the time. Along with these ventures from the New World just starting into existence came appeals from countries having a claim upon the patriotic or the sentimental interest of the English nation. Spain and Portugal contracted obligations for which they are wholly or partially in default at this day. Greece drew from the pockets of sympathizing bondholders the loans of £2V,000,000, the interest on which has been suspended now for fifty years. The speculation of the period seems to have been insatiable. The political fate of nations hung in the balance of the stock markets. The operations of Mr. Eothschild and che London financiers, it is said, created an excitement scarcely inferior to the march of armies The troops themselves, as Sydney Smith wittily remarked, advanced to the cry of "scrip and omnium," "reduced, and 3-per-cents." Following in the wake of foreign loans and politico- financial speculations came the more usual devices of the ingenious promoter. Foreign mines with a nominal capital of more than £2-4,000,000, more than 600 industrial companies calculated at nearly £400,000,000, stimulated the appetites of the small investor. As on all such occasions, charity and self-help, profit and philanthropy, went hand in hand. The same touching sympathy with the poor which produced the charitable corporation of 1733 produced the Equitable Loan Company of 1825, and has since been the faithful parent of more doubtful children in the shape of companies for workmen's dwellings and other philanthropic objects. Designed to relieve the industrious poor from the usurious exactions of the pawn-broker, and at the same time promising" to its shareholders a dividend of 40 per cent., the Equitable Loan Company was one merely of the many schemes by which the unwary were lured to their destruction. Nor was the speculation confined to the Stock Exchange and its surroundings. Gambling in produce was another sign of the same spirit. The markets were glutted, the warehouses filled, speculative purchases were made as if prices must always be on the rise, and by the end of 1825 the ruin and consternation were, wide-spread. As usual, upon the Stock Exchange was concentrated the wrath of those who had speculated and lost.—Blackwood's Magazine. Among the presents given a bride in Brunswick, Me., were a pair of old andirons which had been a wedding-present to her great-grandmother. Mr. tToseplx Howard's Sxplanatipn of How He Came to "Write It. [From the New York Evening Telegram.] During Mr. Howard's editorship of the news department of the Brooklyn Eagle he wrote what has passed into history as the "Bogus Proclamation," the true inwardness of which has never been told. The fact, as we understand it, was this: The Union armies were in trouble. Disaster and defeat were rapidly depleting the Union ranks. Grant's disastrous encounters in the "Wilderness and the signal humiliation of Banks upon the Bed river were sending a. gloom over the entire country. Mr. Howard, sitting in his ofiice, said: " I wonder what I would do if I were President of the United States? These disasters are substantial, and, if long continued, will work ruin. This is a religious country and a sentimental people. First of all I would affect that element by acknowledging the folly of our course, and ask the Supreme Buler of the universe to direct our path. Second, I would call out a sufficient number of men to put down the rebellion inside of sixty days." It will be remembered that Mr. Lincoln was in the habit of calling for small installments of troops, 75,000 and 100,000, and* that the odious system of draft had created disturbances here which resulted in murder, pillage, outrage and pub- he scandal.- It occurred to Mr. Howard that in no way could a lesson be better taught than by a burlesque so extreme in its nature as to attract attention, upon which the needed criticism on the existing state of affairs would necessarily be made. He therefore wrote what purported to be a proclamation from the President ©f the United Stated, first narrating these defeats and disasters, and, .second, appointing a day of fasting and prayer. In other words, he took the people with him into the valley of humiliation. Then he called for 500,000 men between the ages of 18 and 45, with whom to subdue the enemies of the republic. This was signed by "Abraham Lincoln" and ""William H. Seward," Before each name was written the word "Signed," indicating that it was a copy of a proclamation. This, on manifold paper, was sent from the Eagle ofiice by Mr. Howard to every newspaper in the city of New York, in the full belief that it "would; be published in every paper in th&t-dity. j Accident and a number of mj^-sessek: j^dninst^gyijes comTboaedl .to,. prevent Its "universal' circulation; mid, although it was printed in three papers, so far as the public was concerned it appeared in but two—the World and Journal of Commerce. The Government instantly and arbitrarily suppressed them and put an armed force before their doors, thereby magnifying into a grave and serious matter a burlesque, which in any other time" would have passed with a laugh and a joke. Good judges, notably Mr. Baymond, of the New York Times, insisted that Mr. Howard had inside information of a proclamation of a similar nature about to be issued. The Government, on the other hand, insisted upon it that it was part of a Southern conspiracy and treated it so, arbitrarily sending the author to Fort Lafayette. It was born of an honest desire to teach a much- needed lesson. It was a burlesque, pure and simple, in which there was no treason, and, although a serious proclamation was issued not very long after, the author of the burlesque knew nothing of it beforehand whatever. Two Angry Bulls, a Mam, and a Buggy» While Jacob G. Zerr, of Geigertown, President of the Berks County Agricultural Society, was returning home from the State Fair at Philadelphia in a buggy, and when between the White Bear Hotel and Geigertown, he espied two bulls in the road. Mr. Zerr saw that the two brutes were in mortal combat, but,*noticing that they did not obstruct the road, he drove on, with the intention of passing by. Just as he was about to pass the-ferocious animals, the larger one shot across the road, and, before Mr. Zerr was able to stop his horse, the bull was under the buggy, and then began a struggle between buggy and bull. The animal's horns were caught in one of the hind wheels of the vehicle. The occupants of the carriage, Mr. Zerr and his grandson, were in terrible suspense while watching the infuriated bull's struggles to free itself from the spokes of the wheel. The other bull, which up to this time was a quiet observer of what was going on, suddenly made a bolt for its antagonist, and in a few seconds the light buggy was completely overturned by the struggles of the animals, and the occupants were violently thrown out upon their heads, but escaped injury. Mr. Zerr kept hold of the reins, when he was precipitated to the dusty road, and checked the horse from running away. All this happened in less time than it takes to relate it. The vehicle was a complete wreck. The horse was not hurt, but was terribly frightened. The bulls went to finish their battle elsewhere.—Beading (Pa.) Eagle. By Ome Slajorityo Over half a century ago Marcus Norton was made Governor of Massachusetts by only one majority. Had two young men, who intended to vote in the election, not been delayed by an accident in going from Worcester to Boston, they would have changed the result, and' Mr. Norton's opponent would have been elected. They had intended to be in Boston in season to vote, but in their journey fche old- fashioned chaise in which they were riding gave way, and they were not able to reach Boston till after the polls closed. One of the two men referred to now resides in Augusta, and has never lost a vote since.—Augusta (Me.) Journal. IHE ICAMMSo A Historical aiwl Uns-accessful Socialistic Esperiment in Illinois and Iowa. On a high bluff overlooking the valley of Nodaway river, in the town of Corning, Iowa, stands a village composed of a dozen small white cottages, as-ranged in the form of a parallelogram, in the center of which rises a large building, containing a dining- hall, which is also used as an assembly room and for dramatic representations. There are numerous outlying log cabins still sentaneling the village, but they, too, are within easy distance of the dining-room. The village is encircled by a community domain of more than 2,000 acres, 700 of which are under cultivation. Extensive meadows, fine tim- • ber lands, possibly 100 acres of waving wheat and 250 of rustling corn give & dash of paradise to the summer aspect of the.bluff. Such is Icaria, whose history is so intimately interwoven wift. the story of Etienne Cabet, at one time 1840-7) the leader of Socialism in Europe. Bom in Dijon, France, in 1788, Cabet had earned a high reputation as a politician, journalist and historical, writer before he adopted the role of th© social theorist. At this period of popular ferment Cabet published his " Yoyage en Icarie"—am Im" aginary journey to a happy land of ideal Communism—and was at once admitted to the leadership of Socialism m Europe. He started a journal—Le Top- ulaire—which had a huge circulatioit. His followers were numbered by tens of thousands, not in France only, but in Germany, Switzerland, England, Spain, and even South America. His call for colonists to settle in the United States, and create a real Icaria, was responded to by thousands, and in February, 1848, having secured a grant ol 100,000 acres in Texas, the vanguard of the new community sstiled for New Orleans. The Texas acres proved uninhabitable from malarial causes, and the Communists, with Cabet at their head, settled at Nauvoo, 3QL, which had just been, vacated by Joseph Smith, and his Mormons.

But dissensions arose as Cabet grew old and his intellectual faculties declined; the community was split into factions, and in 1858 its founder died, broken-hearted, in St. Louis, After the removal to Iowa, no longer ago than 1877, faction again interposed, and an embittered contest was the result, the village now having a population of less than 100 out of the thousands that hailed Cabet's ideal community with such enthusiasm. . Turkish Slave Trade. A gentleman has just been giving some account of the Turkish slave trade to a correspondent of the London Standard. The hundreds of girls who form part of the harem are, he avers, mostly Circassian slaves. The household of every Turk who is at all well off, be he a Pasha, a Bey, or a plain Effen- di, is stocked with a certain number of these slaves. They are generally supplied by Circassian families settled in the empire. The parents, when they have daughters at all well favored, bring them up carefully, with a view to their being sold. Touts go about the provinces every year, as horse-dealers travel in the horse-breeding regions of England, France, and Hungary, and buy the girls from their parents. They are brought to Constantinople, and there quartered until finally disposed of in houses which are well known to all old residents in the Turkish capital. Some of those houses are in Tophaneh, on the Bosphorus, and in the quarters of the Sultan Mehemet snd the Avrefc Bazar. Though they are not sold quite publicly, there is no concealment about the transaction. The terms of the sale are set down in a contract registered by the chief courts, which contract provides for the rights of the buyer in the event of his purchase not being equal to the warranty, or of the slave making ber escape. The contract authorizes the purchaser, when tired of his bargain, to sell both the mother and her childy and it appears that this occurs daily. It is hardly an answer to this fearful state of things to plead that volenti non fit injuria, and that the victims of this abominable system are quite reconciled to their lot. England has made herself responsible in a measure for the reformation of so foul a scandal against morality and civilization. A fresh description of Charles Beade says that he is big and manly-looking, not fat, but large-framed and muscular. He is very fond of physical exercise, such as rowing, riding, cricket, swimming, and notwithstanding his hair is grizzled, his stalwart body shows no signs of decay. He is neat, though careless in dress, and resembles, with his ruddy face, easy gait, and unconventional manner, a prosperous farmer. He likes congenial company, but not formal society, which, as a rule, betakes pains to avoid. Land laid down with clover is better than money in bank, drawing, more interest than any bank can pay, and eom- pounding the interest oftener. .i-

What's more fabulous than blowing tons of your parents' money on an expensive dress and renting out a limousine for the evening just to impress your jerky classmates? Lots of things — including the Prom backpack from Dakine. With features like a padded laptop sleeve, insulated cooler pocket and a fleece-lined sunglasses pocket, this backpack is one date that won't disappoint — unlike the quarterback who took his team to "State" and now works bagging groceries at the local supermarket.
- Approximately 18" x 12" x 9"
- Contrast-colored lining
- Dakine embroidery
- Durable 600D polyester construction
- Front slip pocket
- Imported
- Insulated cooler pocket
- Interior padded laptop compartment
- Large main compartment
- Padded adjustable backpack straps
- Plush-lined sunglasses pocket
- Zippered deployable water bottle pocket on side
- Zippered organizer pocket with fleece lined compartments

Just got a new old stock Martin Shooter Shirt from KMArcheryHut on Ebay which seems to be a direct online distributor for Martin Archery. I will probably do some live images from outside tomorrow but I think even this old style shirt is hot and without a doubt I will represent it with a sense of tradition and pride. I am a 3X but all they had were 4X but I will wear it outside my pants with my quiver belt over it Robin Hood style.
Now If I can get a couple of 3 or 4 Martin caps and a shooter towel I will be set. Eye of The Tiger, Baby! Eye of The Tiger!!!

Love the shirt! Love Mouse Rat
By James Juan
from Portland, OR
About Me Original
It's great that most people think Mouse Rat is a real band that they've never heard of. Then someone will recognize the reference and smile or laugh.
Mouse Rat Rules!
By schmoops
from Chicago
This shirt would be better if the band logo was on the front and the previous band names were listed on the back like a list of cities on a tour so it would appear more like a concert tee. Either way, this is a cute shirt and if you're a fan of Parks and Rec (and dumb but precious Andy) you will dig this shirt. The shirt is thick. It seems well made but it'll take several washes to break it in and make it soft and relaxed. While the shirt does seem true to size, be sure you wash and dry on low. After washing/drying on low it still seems a little shorter than preferred, but I think a good tug will fix that.

By Disappointed Laura

I didn't read the description and had to send it back when I realized there was inappropriate content. I wish I could have had the option to get a shirt with the logo that just read "Mouse Rat".

Great bag but dimensions not correct
Love the bag, great for traveling or for the office if you don't tend to carry tons of paperwork. However, the dimensions are way off. It is described as 3 3/4" deep, but is actually more like 2" deep. The main compartment is only 1 3/4" deep.
January 23, 2014
Beautiful and Functional!!
I really wanted a bag that would protect my iPad. I always have it with me. This bag is perfect. I use it as a purse. It has a reserved compartment for my iPad in the main compartment. One of the side zippers contains a pocket for my iPhone, pens, etc. I don't carry a lot otherwise, so the size is perfect. I have had a lot of comments about how beautiful it is. It is well made so it will last a long time. The shoulder strap is adjustable and works well for cross body use. That way my shoulders aren't fatigued when i carry it all day. I told my friends where i got it. I am sure to see some of them carrying the same bag soon!!
January 6, 2014
Just what was needed.
My husband is a recent successful cancer patient. He has to carry many small items whenever he leaves the house. He has been carrying a cloth tote from the medical center. This is just perfect for him. Thank you so much for your many well designed items.
December 29, 2013
Outstanding product
I just received my bag and it is exactly what I hoped it would be. Not too heavy when loaded with my iPad and other stuff inside. Lots of additional pockets outside both zippered and magnetic for pen/stylus, checkbook, glasses, keys, etc. Nice grab handles and wide shoulder strap is plenty long enough for cross body wear. Just wish black was not the only color option!
December 28, 2013
Not a purse! Not a murse!
Thank you for making the very first iPad carrier that doesn't look like a "murse" (man purse) This is sleek and can hold the weight of all the things I need to carry without being bulky. My boys are the ones who said, "Daddy you don't look like you're carrying a purse any longer!" I can't tell you the many things I've been unhappy with or things I've tried to make work. My iPad3 fits, my bomber wallet fits, glasses case, iPhone5, two sets of keys, pens, credit card case, too! At this point, it is full. And that's exactly what I want. All my critical stuff in one place! Fast and Efficient. My recommendation is I wish the inside fabric where the iPad slides in would not be so "limp" but I can live with this. Levenger is always high quality and I've been a happy customer for years. Wish I had seen this sooner! Highly recommend you give this and other bomber products a go!
December 6, 2013
Prefect size
I love the Bomber Jacket collection and this is no exception. The size is perfect and the number of zippered pockets and compartments makes it a perfect everyday essential accessory. Plus it is great for travel as it is not heavy and will hold all that I need.
December 1, 2013
Great product
Even with my iPad in an otter box cover, it fits perfectly in this well made leather case. Goes everywhere I go. Would recommend this case to anyone with an iPad.
November 10, 2013
My favorite leather company
I have been buying Levenger products for years, I am so glad I still can, as so many companies change and are lost. I have bought at least 6 products and I have been happy with them all. I wish they would go back into the leather furniture :) I get surprised when I see other companies selling products for the near same price, with way sub standard than Levenger. Why buy anywhere else. BTW, I didn't buy this product for any IT use, I bought it as a handbag, I love it, I need handles, shoulder strap, side pockets that will last for at least 10 years and this has it. I love the class and detail of this product, keep them coming :)
November 9, 2013
Perfect size
I ordered this with a bit of trepidation, thinking I would probably have to send it back. However it is the perfect size to hold my ipad and all it's essentials ie chargers, iphone etc. I had a protector case for my ipad but was carrying additional bags for all the extras. This case fits all that and is still small enough for everyday - business, home or travel! Love it!
October 29, 2013
Great Bag
High quality and great value this bag can't be beat. I caught it on sale which made it even a sweeter deal, Nice size for your small electronic equipment and personal stuff. If you need a file size bag then this is not for you but if you need something a little larger than a "clutch" of high quality then get this one. You will love it, I do.

Just my ears are pierced. As a teen, I was the rebellious kind and pretty much had a piercing everywhere.

Monday's snow left a scene of pastoral beauty at Big Hickory Golf Course. Clay County's schools closed early as some roads became slick. Sunshine and near whiteout conditions alternated through the day, and led to 14 automobile accidents in the county. According to Manchester Dispatch, there were 10 accidents reported to them. None had injuries. Kentucky State Police in London had reports of four accidents in Clay County. One injury was reported. Two of the mishaps involved vehicles sliding off the roadway. "The first snow incident was yesterday here in the county," reported John Dobson, public information officer with the Kentucky Department of Highways. "The state is well stocked (with salt) and we do not anticipate any shortages for the remainder of the season."

Clay County students will soon be seeing the benefits of a federal program that is designed to improve educational achievement and healthy development.
Clay County's Federal Program Coordinator Susan Burgan told the members of the school board Monday night that Clay, Jackson and Owsley counties are to receive assistance through Berea College for a $30 million Promise Neighborhood Grant.
Burgan said that an academic specialist will be in each of the elementary schools, and a college coach will be in the high school.
Superintendent Reecia Samples said that the positions would soon be posted. The jobs will be in the schools, but the people will be employees of Berea.

Coping with high feed costs is not just a challenge in the lactating herd, but in the heifer pen as well. Unfortunately, cutting corners on heifer rations today could be merely a cost-shifting versus cost-saving strategy. When heifers don't reach the lactating herd efficiently and/or can't perform when they get there, the dairy may pay an even higher price.
Dairy nutritionist Tyler Colburn is co-owner of Alpha Dairy Consulting, which serves dairies, calf ranches and heifer ranches in California's central valley, from Fresno to Bakersfield. He has seen first-hand how heifer feeding decisions made in a tough dairy economy eventually proved burdensome to lactating herds.
"It's easy to reduce ration cost per hundredweight in the short term, but the results six to 10 months later can be disastrous," he shares. "When we get to that point, it's an extremely hard problem to fix, and some of those heifers simply don't make it as replacements."
10 things to avoid
Some of the most common feeding errors that can compromise long-term replacement heifer performance include:
1. FEEDING FOR COST VERSUS PERFORMANCE – Contract heifer raiser Vance Kells of Circle Bar Heifer Ranch LLC,
Satanta, Kan., says feeding high-quality rations can be a tough sell in challenging times. Just like his dairy clients, Kells used to be able to feed $3/bushel corn and $25/ton corn silage, versus $7 corn and $65 silage today. "As recently as four years ago, I could feed heifers from five months to 220-days-pregnant springers for about $1 a day actual feed costs," says Kells. "Today, that figure is about $2.20 a day."
"It's hard to swallow the fact that it may cost $400 to $700 more per head to raise a heifer compared to current sale barn prices," he says. "But it's important to look at every heifer as an investment, and not just a warm body in the herd. By raising heifers right, dairies can reap longer-term rewards in terms of genetic progress, breeding efficiency, disease protection and breeding to calving-ease bulls."
2. FEEDING TOO LITTLE PROTEIN – Protein is the most expensive component of a heifer TMR. Colburn says feeding too little of it, or choosing cheaper sources that make metabolizable protein less available, will likely lead to under-sized heifers that are not ready to breed at desired age targets. This can be the start of a downward financial spiral, because those heifers will need to be on feed longer before they become productive members of the milking string. "They also will need to make more milk when they get there to offset those additional days on feed and, in most cases, they are the least likely animals to be able to do that," he says.

I just bought this Hobe in Ochre today at TJ Maxx for $90. Quite the deal. Love it!!
Sunday March 30 2014
I love this purse. However in my opinion the middle section is just wasted space. It's too limp to serve as a divider for sections as it just falls to the bottom of the purse. You have to hunt it to put anything in it then it falls back to the bottom again. Either do away with it altogether or use a leather divider.
Wednesday January 8 2014
Very soft leather and very pretty purse but I wish it had a zipper closure , it has one small magnetic snap ... I am worried my things will fall out when I lay my purse around.

Thanks to Moa for such a great idea on the May contest and also for coming up with the May contest, I'm going to change it up a little bit for June. This month you will need to guess on how many days the high temperature will be above 55 degrees. Rules are pretty much the same as they have been:
1. One submission per forum ID
2. There can be no duplicates. First person to submit a particular number will own that guess.
3. If the proper answer is not selected by anyone, the winner will be the closest guess, without going over, according to the
F6 report.
4. The official source of data is the Daily F6 as published on the Observatory's web site.
5. Anyone & everyone will be allowed to enter.
6. Most of all... Have Fun!!!
Good luck everyone with contest!

BMC Racing Team riders Brent Bookwalter and Karsten Kroon are progressing well in their recoveries from broken collarbones sustained on successive weekends at the Volta a Catalunya and Tour of Flanders, respectively.
No Surgery For Kroon
After seeing a shoulder specialist Tuesday, it was decided Kroon will not undergo surgery on his left collarbone, broken in a crash with another rider Sunday in Belgium. The 2002 Tour de France stage winner already has a plate in that shoulder from a previous break. "We'll take another X-ray in the next 7-10 days and based on that, we can let him train outside on smooth, flat roads," BMC Racing Team Chief Medical Officer Dr. Max Testa said. "If everything goes well, it would be nice to have him back to full training in four weeks." Kroon said: "The pressure I will put on the fracture with riding my bike is the good pressure since it is pressed together. Pain will be the limiting factor. It might be possible to start in Liége (April 24) but that will only be to show how tough I am and to help the team."
Bookwalter Doing Well
BMC Racing Team Dr. Eric Heiden said surgery last Wednesday to repair Bookwalter's broken left collarbone went well. Bookwalter crashed on rain-slickened roads on the final stage of the Spanish race March 26. Bookwalter said if all goes to plan, he may able to get out on his BMC in two weeks. "I've learned the importance of being patient with the recovery process and doing it right the first time," he said. So I'll be aiming to find that balance between giving my body the time it needs and nudging it along to be back to a good level as soon as possible. I can't say enough about how amazingly supportive the team has been through all of this."

U.N. bodies want to tackle drought to avert food crisis
U.N. agencies want to strengthen national drought policies after warnings that climate change would increase their frequency and severity.
Droughts cause more deaths and displacement than floods or earthquakes, making them the world's most destructive natural hazard, according to the Food and Agriculture Organisation, one of the groups taking part.
"We must boost national capacity to cope before droughts occur," Ann Tutwiler, FAO deputy director-general told the five-day talks on drought in Geneva attended by scientists, politicians and development agencies.
"Unless we shift towards such policies, we face the prospect of repeated humanitarian catastrophes and the repeated threat of drought to global food security."
In 2012, the United States experienced the worst drought since the 1930s "dustbowl", pushing grains prices to record highs. In the past years, droughts have also affected the Horn of Africa and the Sahel region as well as China, Russia and southeast Europe.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in December that extreme weather was the "new normal", adding that drought had decimated essential crops from the United States to India, from Ukraine to Brazil.
"No one is immune to climate change - rich or poor. It is an existential challenge for the whole human race - our way of life, our plans for the future," he said at the time.
However, governments have often been slow to act on drought as, unlike other natural disasters, they tend to develop more gradually and often do not generate an instant media buzz.
"As opposed to other natural disasters it's a slow creeping phenomenon," said Mannava Sivakumar a director for the World Meteorological Organisation's (WMO) climate prediction and adaptation division who assisted with the talks.
"If people say let's what and see what happens, before you realise it, you see crops dying, orchards dying and millions of dollars in damage," he added.
The four U.N. bodies that launched the "National Drought Management Policies Initiative" were the FAO, the WMO, the U.N. Convention to Combat Desertification and the U.N.-Water Decade Programme on Capacity Development.
The project aims to develop early warning systems, following the example of the U.S. National Integrated Drought Information System, and mitigation measures which might include helping farmers change their planting schedule to adapt to water shortages.
They said they would proceed through four regional workshops in eastern Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean throughout 2013.
The conference also urged governments to develop stronger regional and global cooperation to improve observation systems and to put in place national emergency relief measures. (Editing by Alison Williams)

It's time for the US to get out of the UN! It's time for the US to take care of the US and to let other countries do the same! If these other countries worked at controlling their birthrate and actually working instead of trying to attack and blowup others they wouldnMt have so many problems! Other countries have tried to help these countries for centuries and the truth is they don't want to change so we should let them struggle on their own! Our help only allows them to keep making bad choices!
Gee in America we have the US goverment telling farmers that they can not use water from their own well's toiragate crops. How dose that fit in with your program?
Lockheed Martin developed a new water filtration purification system that uses graphene. They claim it'll be 100 times more efficient that current systems because it uses very little energy to migrate the water through the extremely thin sheet. Some of these 'shortages' are solvable by using the private sector. We need cheap electricity and reduce governmental interference.
This article is a piece of obnoxious propaganda, laced with enviro-wacko greenie, global warming buzzwords, and communist doublespeak. But what more would we expect from Reuters? The blithering idiots who are quoted obviously believe that man can somehow affect the occurrence of drought. Our climate "changes" and cycles constantly, but the idea of "climate change" (formerly glow-ball warming), as sold to the world by Gore & Co, is ludicrous. The only thing more ludicrous is believing we can do anything to stop droughts from happening, through our behavior. The world as a whole has rejected the idiocy of man caused climate change. Someone please get these ignorants who continue to spout the rejected screed OFF the world stage. They are making utter fools of themselves. The UN bureaucrats should visit CA's Central Valley for a flash course in the effects of man induced drought. In Dec, Ki-moon states that Brazil is in serious drought, but by Feb they are reported to be on the cusp of harvesting a huge crop. Which is it, genius? Get your facts right, or shut up. Moral of the story? We don't need UN involvement in strengthening policy, in fact that concept is totally scary to those of us who understand capitalism, and grasp what it's elimination will do to the world. Rather than hand-wringing pompous diplomats, what the third world could most use is a massive dose of capitalism. Through capitalism exponential innovation occurs. Little more is needed to ensure the world is well fed.
I am the scientist who discovered in 1985 the true cause of climate change as "excessive emissions of acids from ground & seas brought about by melting polar ice that spreads to the seas, enter the underground through cavities". Its emission is responsible for the current drought. Proper approach in solving the problem is a must otherwise,the UN will be wasting time and money as it misleads the world anew. The world cannot afford to have amateurs fixing the problems. ROD COLENDRINO DOMINGO SURVIVAL SCIENCE
