Hi EconomyAC, I'm sorry to hear of the issue you're having, let's tackle this one and see what we can find out. I attempted to replicate the problem in Internet Explorer, but was not able to. I updated my BoxTrapper's "Forward List" from within cPanel, and it saved it successfully. Microsoft has documentation for your error, found at Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. I really don't recommend this unless nothing else works. Most likely it was a temporary issue, either something on your end or our end. 1. If the issue occurs again, hit F5 on your browser to refresh the page. This should try to save the forwarder list again. 2. If you hit refresh and that doesn't help, try going to any other website on the internet. If you can't, it may be a temporary problem with your internet connection, and contacting your Internet Service Provider, such as Comcast or Cox Cable, for more troubleshooting steps. Keep us updated in the comments of this page if you're still having trouble. It does sound like a temporary issue, and I bet if you try it again it should work. Thanks! - Brad |

Showing the love to Oregons best
Introducing the 2003-04 Trib Awards, from what one college basketball reporter has seen, heard, read or simply invented:
Most Irrelevant Award: Sounds like high school logic, the league's coaches giving the Pacific-10 Conference player of the year honor to the best player on the best team (Josh Childress, Stanford). If the same criteria held true in 2002, Oregon's Fred Jones should have gotten the award instead of USC's Sam Clancy.
No way Childress meant more to his team than UO's Luke Jackson did to his. Without an injured Childress, the balanced Cardinal went 9-0. Without Jackson, the Ducks would not have won eight games.
No way Childress had a better year, either. Jackson outscored Childress (21.1 points per game to 15.3), had more assists (4.59 to 2.29), shot better at the free-throw line (.870 to .807) and 3-point line (.443 to .403), and had the better assist-to-turnover ratio (1.68/1 to 1.17/1). Childress barely edged Jackson in rebounding (7.5 to 7.3) and field-goal percentage (.495 to .480). Childress took 222 shots, including 77 from 3-point range. Jackson attempted 379 shots, 149 of them 3s.
'I Would Swim to Hawaii if Coach Asked Me to' Award: Don't get in Dustin Geddis' way, or you'll have 'Nike' embedded on your forehead. Nobody played harder, more intensely, or wanted to win more than the 6-7 University of Portland senior.
MVP (Most Valuable Portlander): Just think, had an Oregon State scholarship not opened up two years ago, this might have been Chris Stephens' second season at Chemeketa Community College. A clutch and confident shooter, Stephens averaged 15.8 points and made many Portlanders remember how they forgot about him at Madison High. He had more of an impact on his team than point guard Aaron Miles did at Kansas.
Best Senior Class: Six of them, including four-year players in twin brothers Matt and Nate Ferrier and Andre Johnson and Jerry Smith, helped Concordia win 20 games in back-to-back seasons. And they played in the honor of classmate Bryan Dunn, who died in an automobile accident in summer 2001 after playing in 29 games as a freshman. 'He was the best player out of all of them,' coach Brad Barbarick says.
'Wish I Could Start My Career Over' Award: Actually, Oregon's Cathrine Kraayeveld and her two blown-out knees should get another chance with a medical hardship year, expected to be approved for next season. She has played in 20 games the past two years, averaging 14 points and 10 rebounds in 2002-03 and 17 points and 9 boards this past season.
Best Rumor: Rumblings in Tucson, Ariz., have Salim Stoudamire playing his last games at Arizona. Writes Greg Hansen in the Arizona Daily Star: 'Salim Stoudamire has another year of eligibility, but when the UA completes this basketball season, he'll be wise to consider if he wishes to continue as a Wildcat. Moreover, the UA will be smart to examine whether it wants to renew his scholarship.'
Hansen intimates Stoudamire should correct his oft-moody attitude, transfer to 'Pepperdine or Portland State or someplace like that' or declare for the pros.
Adds Hansen: 'Whatever Stoudamire decides, he probably is working on his last chance at the UA. One player probably can't bring down a proud and established program like the one at McKale Center. But I doubt that anyone really wants to find out.'
Dearly Departed: PSU women's coach George Wolfe and the Vikings part ways. Anybody want the job?
Biggest Turnaround: The Cascade men and women played in the NAIA Division II Cascade Conference playoffs in 2002-03, and the men played in the national tournament. This year? The men went 6-25 overall (2-16 league), the women 1-25 (1-17).
Five Oregon Guys Who Could Beat Those Blazer Alumni Geezers: The Trib all-stars would be UO's Jackson, OSU's David Lucas, Portland State's Seamus Boxley, Portland's Eugene Jeter and Lewis & Clark's John Mietus. The coach: the Beavers' Jay John.
Hitchhiker of the Year: Gonzaga's Brian Michaelson, the Jesuit grad who has played in 14 games (39 minutes) and scored 10 points. Maybe the Zags will give him a lift all the way to San Antonio.
Most Unhappy: Marshal Hartman left Portland State to pursue other opportunities and to just play and 'have fun.' Translation: He grew tired of coach Heath Schroyer harping on him.
A Pro in the Making: Wilson grad Chris Rodgers, because he puts defense first and knows how to get his shot and play point guard at the same time.
Best-Dressed Coach: Portland's Michael Holton. Does he sleep in a designer suit or what? What's the phone number for GQ magazine?
Biggest Challenge for PSU Announcer Tom Hewitt: Next year, try saying, 'Sheu Oduniyi passes into Nguye Kaladokubo who dumps it off to Marier Angui for the dunk,' really fast. Of course, it needs to happen first.
Five Women Who Could Come Close to Beating UConn: The Trib all-stars are UP's Khalila O'Rielly-Williams, PSU's Sarah Hedgepeth, Oregon's Corrie Mizusawa and OSU's Leilani Estavan and Shannon Howell (on a good night). The coach: OSU's Judy Spoelstra.
'I'm Great at One Thing' Award: OSU's Lamar Hurd, who won't turn the ball over unless the Incredible Hulk rips it from his clutches. Runner-up: UO's James Davis, who is to 3-point baskets what Phil Knight is to making shoes.
And, finally É
Top Performing Portlander: Benson grad Robert Day concluded his career at Western Oregon, averaging 21.2 points a game and scoring 39 points twice. Sorry we never showed the love, man. Signed, the Trib.

The Smart Ones Got Through
It was tough going, but the road over the Sierras could be used by men who understood how to travel
June 1955 | Volume 6, Issue 4
Yet actually the two parties had much in common. They were groups of Middle Westerners, native and foreign-born, migrating to California. Both included women and children, and traveled overland in oxdrawn covered wagons. Over much of the way they followed the same route. Both were overtaken by winter, and faced their chief difficulties because of snow. Some of the Donner Party spent the winter in a cabin built by three members of the Stevens Party. One individual, Caleb Greenwood, actually figures in both stories.
The difference in the significance, however, springs from two differences in actuality. First, the Stevens Party set out in 1844, two years before the Donner Party; they were the trail breakers. Second, the Stevens Party was efficiently run, used good sense, had fairly good luck—in a word, was so successful that it got through without the loss of a single life. The Donner Party, roughly speaking, was just the opposite, and the upshot was that the casualty list piled up to 42, almost half of the total roster and nearly equaling the whole number of persons in the Stevens Party. The latter, incidentally, arrived in California more numerous by two than at the start because of babies born on the road.
The contrast between the parties is shown even in the nature of the sources of material available on them. No one bothered to record much about the non-dramatic Stevens Party, and we should have scarcely any details if it had not been for Moses Schallenberger, a lad of seventeen at the time of the actual events, who forty years later dictated to his schoolmarm daughter his memories of the journey. On the other hand, the story of the Donner Party is possibly the best documented incident of any in the early history of the West. Its dramatic quality was such that everyone and his brother rushed in to tell what he knew about it or thought he knew about it, either at first- or second-hand, and publishers took it all.
Of course, this is still the everyday tale. Drive efficiently about your business, and no one ever hears of you. Scatter broken glass and blood over the highway, and a picture of the twisted wreck makes the front page . . .
The Donner Party—to summarize briefly—was formed from family groups of other emigrant parties in July, 1846, and set out by themselves from Little Sandy Creek, in what is now Wyoming, to reach California by the so-called Hastings Route. They lost much time, found the gateway to California blocked by snow, built cabins to winter it out, and ran short of food. Soon they were snowed in deeply, and began to die of starvation. A few escaped across the mountains on improvised snowshoes. Others were saved by the heroic work of rescue parties from the settlements in California. As the result of hardships the morale of the party degenerated to the point of inhumanity, cannibalism, and possibly murder. Of 89 people—men, women, and children—involved with the misfortunes of the party, 47 survived, and 42 perished.
The Stevens Party left Council Bluffs on May 18, 1844. Before doing so, they performed what may well have been the act that contributed most to their final success—they elected Elisha Stevens to be their captain.
He was an unusual enough sort of fellow, that Stevens—about forty years old with a big hawk nose and a peaked head; strange-acting, too. He seemed friendly enough, but he was solitary, having his own wagon but neither chick nor child. Born in South Carolina, raised in Georgia, he had trapped in the Rockies for some years, then spent a while in Louisiana, and now finally he was off for California, though no one knows why.
How such a man came to be elected captain is more than can be easily figured out. How did he get more votes than big-talking Dr. John Townsend, the only member of the party with professional status and of some education? Or more than Martin Murphy, Jr., who could muster kinsmen and fellow Irishmen numerous enough to make up a majority of votes? Perhaps Stevens was a compromise candidate between the native American and the Irish contingents that split the party and might well have brought quarrels and disaster. He had good experience behind him, indeed. And perhaps there was something about him that marked him for the natural leader of men that he apparently was. His election seems to me one of those events giving rise to the exclamation, "It makes you believe in democracy!"
Yes, he took the wagons through. If there were justice in history, his name would stand on the pass he found and conquered, and not merely on a little creek that runs into San Francisco Bay.

Although Friday, August 10 is the last day for reporting for the Summer Reading Club, don't let your children forget their summer reading for school. We have reading lists organized by school and grade available. Please come into the library now before Labor Day since books might need to be requested from another library in the Delaware County Library System before the first day of school.

The tax man winneth
May 22nd, 2013
Scranton Single Tax Collector Bill Courtright won the Democratic nomination for mayor in yesterday's primary election, despite the now well-documented, illegal mess he'll be leaving behind in the tax office. State law clearly holds that tax receipts must be deposited in separate accounts according to which governmental body they're owed. This evidently is too complicated a task for Courtright and his staff. He continues to ignore the law, maintains that he knows who's owed what in tax revenue, and besides — this is the way it's always been done.
That last bit sums up Scranton governance perfectly.

Vespucci Circus is an underground subway station in Grand Theft Auto IV, in the Liberty City Subway system, serving the A/J Algonquin Outer Line and the adjoining 3/8 Broker Line.
Named after Vespucci Circus, a street in Northwood, northern Algonquin, Liberty City, the station is in fact located at Wardite Street (its only two entrances on both sides of the street), west of the intersection with Vespucci Circus and Astoria, at the border between Northwood and East Holland. The station is suitably located at Dwayne Forge's place of residence within an adjacent apartment complex, the Governor Greg Johnson Projects.
The station is unremarkable otherwise, sharing the same entrance and platform design as all other subway stations in the game.

If I were Jewish — or Kurdish — right now I'd be at least a little bit angry.
As a ferocious international army known as the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq (ISIS) dislocates, starves or slaughters tens of thousands of Iraqi Christians, the Roman Catholic Church has decided that military intervention by the United States to stop the massacre might finally be justified.
And that decision was reached some days before journalist and practicing Catholic James Foley was beheaded — an atrocity posted on the Internet.
Jews and Kurds would be justified in asking Rome, "Why now?"
Remember Daniel Pearl? Remember Nick Berg?
Daniel Pearl was the Wall Street Journal reporter beheaded by his al-Qaida captors on Feb. 1, 2002, in Pakistan, an act visible to all on YouTube a few weeks later.
The same fate befell Nick Berg, a high-tech information entrepreneur from Philadelphia, who was murdered in May 2004 in Iraq by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi himself.
Both men were Jews. Note that Mr. Pearl was murdered before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and Mr. Berg afterward, when things had not yet hit bottom.
But the Roman Catholic Church opposed both the first Gulf War and the Bush invasion of Iraq. So why now is military intervention finally OK? Because Christians are dying?
And long before these Jewish men died, Saddam Hussein's regime was committing genocide against the Kurds — a rural people spread throughout Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey, who are predominantly Muslim but encompass many religions, including Judaism and Christianity.
Hussein's assaults against the Kurds were so lethal that, even prior to 2003, the late, sincerely lamented atheist Christopher Hitchens urged the U.S. to intervene. But his plea fell on deaf ears among his fellow leftists and secularists.
What should be perfectly clear by now is that Islamic radicals enthusiastically kill anyone who doesn't agree with their extremely narrow religious and political agenda — whether those dissidents be Muslims, Jews, Christians or uncommitted.
And in truth, this reality was perfectly clear a full decade ago. A lot of time, energy and precious lives have been wasted while we citizens of the still-free Western world bicker bitterly among ourselves to assign blame while Mosul burns.
The precursor to our lethally petty argument is, sadly, Gen. Colin Powell's much-touted admonition to the Bush administration as secretary of state: "If you break it, you buy it."
The problem with speaking in metaphors is that the metaphor you choose might not fit the facts at hand. The metaphor then distorts comprehension and prevents finding a good solution.
Gen. Powell's assessment implies, incorrectly, that the U.S. "broke" Iraq. But Iraq was broken before we got there. Ditto for the entire Middle East.
That's not to say that George W. Bush or Barack Obama has made the Middle East situation better. We do have to own whichever part we have broken.
The worst decision of the Bush administration was not the invasion of Iraq but the post-invasion disbanding of its army — an action that created hundreds of thousands of suddenly unemployed men ready and willing to be radicalized.
The worst decisions of the Obama administration have been: announcing our military draw-downs, treating terrorists as mere criminals and returning those terrorists to a Middle East that's fully ablaze.
The Middle East situation, in its entirety, harkens back to World War II. Years before America came to the rescue of Western Europe, our leaders knew that Adolf Hitler was butchering religious, ethnic and sexual minorities.
But it took Japan's completely unrelated attack on our homeland before Franklin D. Roosevelt could rouse peace-preferring Americans to an international humanitarian cause.
Similarly, it should have been obvious to any American who followed events before and after Sept. 11, 2001, that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were using the attacks to justify intervention in a war already much larger than the immediate provocation. Though they had mocked the "nation-building" agenda of the Clinton administration, events on their watch led them on to that very path.
Which is not to say that they executed their mandate as well as Roosevelt did. That's a tough call, in this faster-paced world. The fictional but all-too-real mother in "Saving Private Ryan" learned of her four sons' deaths months after the fact, by telegram, while Daniel Pearl, Nick Berg and James Foley's parents have known the horror of their sons' beheadings made public. This war is immediate.
So what do we do now? For the sake of the sons and daughters not yet slaughtered, it's best that we acknowledge whatever we lacked this past decade — vision, competence or moral courage — and vow to move forward, together, against tyranny.

Cute dolphin antics and lovely locations can't redeem this syndicated revival of the '60s aquatic-mammal adventure show, with its hokey script and, at least in the first two episodes (a two-parter), an unbelievable premise that takes the whole "Flipper" gang of American citizens to Cuba. If "Flipper" is looking to draw in family auds, this underwater acrobat better stay out of international waters.
Cute dolphin antics and lovely locations can't redeem this syndicated revival of the '60s aquatic-mammal adventure show, with its hokey script and, at least in the first two episodes (a two-parter), an unbelievable premise that takes the whole "Flipper" gang of American citizens to Cuba. If "Flipper" is looking to draw in family auds, this underwater acrobat better stay out of international waters.
Original series, which ran 1964-68, featured a semi-exotic setting (Florida's Everglades), an endearing dolphin and a sweet theme song. The '90s "Flipper" is edgier, but aims for wholesome family action-adventure, with a teensy bit o' "Baywatch" bikini thrills snuck in. Dr. Keith Ricks (Brian Wimmer) seems to be a marine biologist, although it's never made clear. (It's not spelled out if he is the son of "Flipper's" Porter Ricks, the main character of the first series.) Also intro'd are Dr. Pam Blondel (Colleen Flynn), a Navy scientist, and her teen son Mike (Payton Haas) and his friend Maya (Jessica Marie Alba), who all seem to live in the same house, it's presumed, or maybe not, since the relationships are not made clear. Mike and Maya have "adopted" a friendly and talented wild dolphin that they call Flipper. Flipper does tricks for them off the beach where they live in the Florida Keys. Ricks gets a visit from an old college pal, Tyrell (William R. Moses), who traffics in exotic animals. Tyrell needs a trained dolphin for a luxury resort he's involved with in Cuba. After all, El Presidente is skedded to visit the resort and he loves trained dolphins. The sleazy resort owner does not want to disappoint El Presidente. Ricks refuses to deal in black market dolphins, so Tyrell kidnaps Flipper. Flipper, unhappy in Cuban captivity (where, stereotypically, all the locals smoke cigars), won't do tricks for the resort's trainer. Meantime, Ricks, the kids and the U.S. Navy officer traipse off to a country with which the U.S. has no diplomatic relations. Show teeters between unintentional hilarity and drama/adventure, which makes for a disconcerting, lightweight mix. Opening credits tease future episodes that appear to be more down to earth, but overall tone of first two segs is just silly. Kudos to d.p. John Stokes for his beautiful ocean shots and to the animals' trainers, Darryl (Spike) Pearce and Wayne Phillips. Syndicated show airs locally on KCAL, which airs original episodes on Sunday nights and repeats segs on Saturdays at noon.Flipper Kidnapped Part I; Kidnapped Part Deux

Cellphone thief gets 12 months
MONTEGO BAY, St James — A man who had been in police custody since August last year after he was found with a cellular phone that was reported stolen earlier that day, was sentenced to 12 months at hard labour in the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
Thirty-nine year-old Jeffrey Brown of a Tower Street, Kingston address, pleaded guilty to receiving stolen good when he appeared in court.
It took a while before Brown admitted to anything, as at first he denied entering the complainant's house at Bogue Village and taking the phone.
When offered the alternate charge of receiving stolen property, he again pled not guilty and was given yet a third option-- larceny by finding-- to which he responded "me can get charge for finding something?"
According to police records, the man who said he is a higgler, has had at least six previous convictions, all for dishonesty.
The court heard that the touch screen cellular phone was stolen from a home in Bogue Village on August 17 last year and later that day Brown was held on Barnett Street and the phone was found in his possession.
He was taken to the police station where the phone was identified by the complainant as the one stolen from her earlier in the day.

As for being licensed in Kansas with a current certificate from NY. I have
no idea! I would take the advice to check the KSDE site.
http://www.ksde.gov. I know a teacher who moved here from Ohio, Cinncinati
area, and is having to continue her education with a master's in special
ed. in order to teach in the position in which she was hired. If I
understand correctly what is acceptable in Ohio isn't supported by Kansas.
So it is best to check into the licensing requirements.

New York New York City
Elopement Karent Kristian Photography The Jane
City Hall
I wish I was just a smidgen as chic as this couple. Actually, I would take half a smidgen because this elopement is just chic and then some. Not to mention 14 years in the making. Yes, 14 years and they still can't take the "I'm so in love" look off their faces. Swoon. Karen Kristian Photography captured all the City Hall chicness, which is a good thing, because I plan on soaking up all the sweetness in the full gallery of images!
From Karen Kristian Photography… This was one of the sweetest, most romantic weddings I've ever shot. Dean and Louise are from Australia and after being together for 14 years (!), they flew to New York City to elope in City Hall. They stayed at The Jane hotel in the West Village, and we took some photos along the Highline, at and near City Hall, and in the Village. I've never seen a couple more in love and more giddy about each other. On the way to City Hall, Louise told me a story of one of their experiences in New York. They were at a local bar in the East Village, and they began talking with an old man who was born just a few blocks from the bar and had lived there his whole life. They asked him for any advice, and he said, "The secret to life: to be loved." Such true words and they believed it so! They stayed in New York for a week and then returned home to their families to celebrate there.

The first official trailer for the long-awaited sequel to the cult film Trainspotting has been released - watch it below.
Loosely based on Edinburgh author Irvine Welsh's novel Porno, Trainspotting 2 - or T2 as it's billed - is set to be released on January 27, and will see the original cast of the 1996 movie, including stars Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle and Jonny Lee Miller, team up again with director Danny Boyle.
Watch the trailer. WARNING: this trailer contains scenes of nudity and drug use.
The trailer features all the main characters from the first film (Renton, Begbie, Sick Boy, Spud and Diane), with a modern update of the first film's classic voiceover: "Choose life, choose Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and hope that someone, somewhere cares."
The trailer starts with Underworld's Born Slippy, which featured in the first movie, while young British band Wolf Alice's track Silk soundtracks the second part of the trailer.
Scottish actor McGregor, who reprises his roles as Renton in the film, said earlier this year that the script is "really, really, really good."

Kosher Status: Pareve
I created these spuds. Okay, that's an overstatement. God created the potatoes and Hasselback potato recipes probably go back to ancient Bolivia or something. I call them accordion potatoes because they remind me of that instrument that, by the way, is only played today at Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. They really should serve these potatoes at Bar Mitzvahs, too. It's such an elegant way to present a common potato. I make 'em with sliced garlic stuffed into each and every crevice, and then I top them with more garlic for the Transylvanians in the house (that's me). Those Yankees just get a little garlic sprinkle.
Leave a Review
Hasselbackspotatoes was created 1953 by Leif Elisson from Värmland, who was an apprentice at restaurant Hasselbacken on Djurgården in Stockholm, Sweden.
I made this using yukon gold potatoes, a combination of garlic and onion, fresh grounp pepper and kosher salt. I drizzled olive oil, wrapped individually in foil and put them on the grill. I will definetly make these again with some minor tweaking. Delicious.
These are great potatoes! Regarding the accordion, the writer needs to get out more! The accordion is king around the world in many styles of music - Cajun, Mexican, Irish, gypsy and even many folksy-type modern bands - Mumford & Sons for example.
This Swedish dish takes its name from Hasselbacken, the Stockholm restaurant where it was first served. My mother used to make them often. She would peel the potatoes and brush with melted butter. Half way through baking, she sprinkled breadcrumbs on top.
I make these potatoes all the time. I usually drizzle with butter and I sprinkle bacon bits on at the end. The whole family loves them.
I have been making these potatoes for years. I recommend using two wooden chop sticks on either side of the potato to keep from cutting all the way through. I brush on butter and then sprinkle with a favorite spice (Slap Ya Mama is a good one.)
These potatoes are really yummy! I add a little butter on top when they first come out of the oven to add the flavor.
Not so much a review but a question. What type of accordion is only played at bar/bat mitzvahs?

Cruciate ligament injury puts Granero out for six months with Real Sociedad
Esteban Granero only took to the field as an 82nd minute substitute against Shakhtar Donesk, but moments later, was carried from the pitch with a serious injury.
As well as the poor start to their Champions League group stage with the 2-0 defeat at home to Shakhtar Donesk on Tuesday night, Real Sociedad suffered a further blow.
Introduced in just the 82nd minute of the game from the bench, Esteban Granero was forced to withdraw from the action moments from the end of the game, after suffering a knee injury.
Further investigations on Wednesday have now diagnosed that the player has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee. This will sideline Granero for at least six months.
A statement released by the medical services at the club revealed the extent of the injury, via an official communication.
"The MRI scan performed this morning, discovered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and an injury to the inner meniscus of his right knee. For treatment of this type of injury, a surgical repair will be required. Until the time of surgery, the player will undergo physiotherapy aimed at stimulation and neuromuscular control of the joint."
The injury is a harsh blow for Granero upon his return to Spanish football, on loan at Real Sociedad from English side Queens Park Rangers, who have yet to comment on the player's injury. They will however be paying close attention to the medical reports they receive from the Basque club.

Many cybersquatters simply register web domains in order to sell them to established businesses or brand owners at a later stage – this practice is often referred to as domain parking.
However, some cybersquatters have more malicious intentions. By registering a website address that looks as though it belongs to a well-known business or organization, cybercriminals may be able to lure unsuspecting visitors onto the site. Often, these websites will contain malware.
Here are some useful tips – from Kaspersky Lab's team of Internet security experts – to help ensure you don't fall prey to cybersquatting cybercriminals:

Anna Wintour and her well-heeled minions seem to have accepted digital media's clout, because these aren't just any models gracing the cover of Vogue's September issue; they're nine "models of the moment" with significant social media followings. The magazine repeatedly and very blatantly dubs them "Instagirls."
Cara Delevingne, Karlie Kloss, Joan Smalls, Arizona Muse, Edie Campbell, Imaan Hammam, Fei Fei Sun, Vanessa Axente and Andreea Diaconu star on the extended pull-out cover, which was shot by photographer Mario Testino.
"All savvy on social media, they're building their own brands and single-handedly catapulting themselves to this generation's version of supermodel status," the mag said of its cover faces.
Not surprisingly, the three main models (Kloss, Smalls and Delevingne) took to social media to brandish the cover and gravitas of the career highlight. They also congratulated their fellow Victoria's Secret Angels.
"I am so proud to show you my first @voguemagazine cover with the gorgeous @joansmalls @karliekloss shot by @mariotestino @tonnegood @lucia_pieroni @hairbychristiaan #theseptemberissue," British model Delevingne, 22, wrote on Instagram, posting a pic of the cover:
Kloss, 22, echoed the sentiment.
"It is an absolute honor to be a part of @VogueMagazine's #SeptemberIssue along with @CaraDelevingne and @JoanSmalls. It has always been a dream of mine to be on the cover of #Vogue, words cannot express my gratitude and excitement to be a part of the #INSTAGIRLS issue. Thank you @mariotestino and @tonnegood! xoxo karlie," she wrote.
"I've waited for this Moment all my career and it's finally Here!" Smalls, 26, wrote, also sharing a pic of the cover on Instagram. "I'm so honored to be on the cover of @voguemagazine along with my friends @caradelevingne and @karliekloss who are so deserving of this as well. Thank you to everyone who played a role in this #ModelsOnCovers #SeptemberIssue #Vogue #WedidIt"
Models on covers, eh? A while back, magazine editors got savvy to this idea: Recognisable celebs on covers sell more copies than less-recognizable models do. In recent months, this particular glossy has touted actresses Blake Lively, Lupita N'yongo and Emma Stone.
But rather than positioning the latest "It" celebrity on the fashion bible's thickest issue of the year, Wintour made what's old new again with its "Instagirls."
This isn't Vogue's first declaration about the importance of social media. We're looking at you, hashtag-laden Kim Kardashian and Kanye West cover.
Even so, previous September issues have featured Jennifer Lawrence, Lady Gaga, celebrity model Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, Kirsten Dunst, Sarah Jessica Parker, Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The last time a slew of models was featured on the notable September issue was in 2004, when a similar array of high-profile models saw the spotlight.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Stories and Poems
- - Trust me.
Trust me. *this is a story I've been working on. I hope you all enjoy it. PLEASE critique me. If you see anything I should improve, or change let me know.:-):-)* PROLOGUE The man smiled as he entered the arena, aware every camera would be trained on his face. He did his best to hide the shame and worry he felt. He silently hopped his wife would be ok... and the delivery would go ok. His horse tossed his beautiful black head. He too was anxious, and wanted this to be over. The crowd cheered as the man trotted to the starting line. He stopped just behide it. The crowd hushed one another. After just a moment, the rider and his horse took off. They sprited to the first barrel and whipped around it with ease. The annoucer excitedly yelled it looked like a new record. The man smiled again. He forced his mind to concentrate. He couldn't worry about Maggie now. She would be fine. He urged his mount faster. Then it happend. A young boy of ten, whom had idolized this man for years, was sitting just outside the railing fence which surrounded the arena. The young boy jumped to his feet and screamed along with the crowd. He flew to the railing and pushed against it. Much to his and his parents shock, the section of the railing tipped over. It fell to the ground with a loud, "CLANG!" As it hit against another section. Maybe if the rider hadn't been so distracted. He would have had time to react. Maybe if the black stallion hadn't been so tense, it wouldn't have startled him. But it did. The audience watched in horror as the horse reared. His eyes rolled. The rider grasped the saddle horn and tried to calm the frantic beast. It was no use. The horse came down hard and fast. Then once again he reared. This time he lost his balance and fell backwards onto the rider. The man had no time to react. The beast screamed as he fought to get up. He finally managed to stumble to his feet. Only to then fall forward. Once again he let out a panicked noise and rose. Four hired helpers jumped the railing and ran to aid the fallen man. Along with two emergency workers and a vet. The vet determined the horse's leg to be broken. The audience cried in horror. The news cameras turned to zoom in on the young boy who had caused this. But him and his family had disapperd from the scene. 10 minutes later, the rider the crowd had adored, was pronouced dead. *** "It's a girl!" The midwife announced as the new mother gave the final push. The midwife passed the screaming baby to her assistant who promtly wrapped the baby in a blanket. The mother cried as they handed her the newborn. Just wait until Her husband heard. For the millionth time she wished John hadn't gone to that stupid rodeo."Mother!" The young women called out. The older gray haired women entered the room with tears in her blue eyes. "Maggie...."the older women began. Maggie looked up at her mother's pale face "John is dead." *that was just the prologue. What do you think? Please let me know :-)* |
That's pretty amazing... And very sad! You meany! Making him and the horse die. Still. Very nice. Keep going with that. |
*well I figured I might as well post more. Please correct me if I mess up. I won't be offended!* CHAPTER 1 15 years later "Great job Hadley." My trainer, Lauren says as I finish the barrel pattern. " Go untack Blitz and see if Lindsey needs help taking up." I nod and smile as I dismount the 16.2 gelding and lead him out of the arena. It's not uncommon for Lauren to ask me to help the younger riders. I don't really mind. Except Lindsey is a slight but spoiled. I lead Blitz down the been aisle to a pair of crossties and quickly take off his heavy western saddle and bridle before racking a curry comb through his sweaty bay coat. Blitz isn't mine but I wish he were. If give just about anything to own a horse like him. My mom refuses to buy me one after what happend to my dad. He died in a bad barrel accident. In fact the only reason my mom lets me the lessons or even be at the barn is because of my step dad. When they first were married I was 5 and hated this man. I didn't want a daddy. I wanted to meet my daddy. Not this tall strong brunette. But after he convinced my mom to let me take lessons when I was 6, I decided he was pretty ok. I even call him dad. Max, the hired ranch hand takes Blitz to go turn him out. I turn around the corner to find Lindsey. "Haddie Miss won't hold still!" I hear her whine before I even reach the stall. I'm greeted with a nerve racking sight as the tall nine year old is trying to force the bit into the mouth of the mare. "Lindsey you put the saddle up to high! It needs to be back more. And don't do that with her bit. She's going to bite you or you'll manage her head-shy!" I groan bending down to undo the cinch. After the I finish the saddle. Lindsey hands me the bridle. For about the 100th time I wonder why her parents got her the high strung bay when she can barley saddle a horse by herself. |
The storyline is exciting and captivating, but I think some of the sentence structure and grammar needs some work. I notice sometimes your sentences get choppy, especially when you're describing Hadley's father's fall. You could take a few of those sentences and string them together with commas to give the story a better flow. For example, The rider grasped the saddle horn and tried to calm the frantic beast, but it was no use. The horse came down hard and fast. Then once again he reared, this time losing his balance and falling backwards onto the rider. The man had no time to react. The beast screamed as he fought to get up. He finally managed to stumble to his feet only to then fall forward. Once again, he let out a panicked noise and rose. Four hired helpers jumped the railing and ran to aid the fallen man, along with two emergency workers and a vet. Just a suggestion. Overall, very good! |
Just realised the name of the trainer was already used in another story on this forum. (Face Palm) the trainers name is now Alyssa. |
After helping the little red head, I set off in search of my best friend. "Watch where your going!" A voice I know to well snaps at me as I run into a stall door. I look up to see a pair of brown eyes glaring at me. "Sorry Ashlynn." I sigh not wanting to get in a fight with the barn drama queen. Ashlynn tosses her perfectly straight glowing dark hair, and looks me up and down. It's easy to see she's judging my faded jeans, black sweatshirt, and muddied riding boots. It's true I'm nothing compared to her brand new Forget-me-not jeans, sparkling purple belt, and tucked in plaid shirt. |
110 views! Wow more then I thought I'd get. :) but sadly only two comments? Please comment guys! Even if you hate the story! I really want to know what people think of my writing! |
A little rough around the edges, but has the potential to be a great read. Try taking the time to read over it a few times and if anything sounds rough to read then practice writing it a couple different ways til it sounds better to you. Some of it has too much description and other parts have to little dialogue. I hope this helps without giving exact examples. I know the character is in a hurry, but the interaction with the Lindsey was almost short enough to not mention. |

A number of limited edition starship replicas including the Captain's yacht "Cousteau" and the Vulcan ship from Star Trek: First Contact were released by John Eaves and the fan club, in conjunction with the magazine.

We stayed there while we were on vacation with our in laws. Mr Lesley and Brenda are so helpful and nice. We felt right at home. They always checked on us to make sure we didn't need anything. The whole staff was amazingly nice and friendly. The driver was supper polite and extremely helpful (one of our favorite people there). We will definitely go back. The beds weren't the most comfortable,butit's a good value for the money.

Hall & Oates Convince Super PAC Named After Them To Shut Down
from the but-now-where-will-the-hall-&-oates-fans-put-their-money? dept
"It was really just kind of a joke a couple of us came up with drunk one night. I wish I could say there was more to it, but that's about it," said [William] Hansmann.Hansmann stated that the goal of the SuperPAC was "to create parody videos on YouTube." Seems like as good a use of a SuperPAC as any. As for why they chose famed rock duo Hall & Oates? Well, that was easy:
"When we hit on Hall & Oates, we were just like, who doesn't love Hall & Oates?" Mr. Hansmann explained.That may be true... but while everyone may love Hall & Oates... it turns out that Hall & Oates don't really love being associated with a SuperPAC. They had their people "get in touch" with Hansmann and convince him to shut down the SuperPAC, which had raised all of $0. According to Hall & Oates' manager, the duo was wary of any political connection whatsoever, even one involving parody videos:
"Daryl Hall and John Oates recognize that the personal view points of their fans cross all political spectrums and are honored to be supported by their fans everywhere regardless of political affiliation... The PAC's founders recognize that the use of the 'Hall' and 'Oates' names for the purpose of raising funds is not an appropriate fan activity no matter what the goal of the fund raising activities might be."Thankfully, it appears that the dynamic duo and their manager resolved this in a friendly manner, rather than the all-too-typical reaction of some to immediately rush to legal nastygramming.
"Daryl Hall and John Oates are pleased that the amicable dialog with the founders of the Super Pac have brought an expedient resolution to this matter and achieved a result both sides are pleased with."Of course, what's unclear is if the SuperPAC has just been shut down, or is being renamed. Any suggestions on what else it might be called?

Oceana seeks to make our oceans as rich, healthy and abundant as they once were. We believe in the importance of science in identifying problems and solutions. Our scientists work closely with our teams of economists, lawyers and advocates to achieve tangible results for the oceans.
Our campaigns are working to do the following:
• Protect marine habitats and creatures, such as sea turtles and sharks, that are most at risk from irresponsible fishing methods.
• Combat the effects of pollution and climate change on the oceans and advocate for clean energy and an end to offshore drilling.
• Protect some of the world's most beautiful and threatened marine places, from the Arctic to Patagonia.
The good news is that we can restore our oceans to their former glory. In many cases, laws governing fishing and pollution already exist – we simply need enforcement.

Every beginning of the year, most of us have a common activity, that is to make your new year's resolution. When you are still studying in school, the normal resolution would be to study harder, get more 'A's in the exams. As we grow older and into adulthood, the common resolution would be to make more money.
Think about it. If you are in the sales department, or a business owner or a self-employed salesperson, the very first goal you would set for the year is how much increment you want on the sales revenue.
If you are under employment, your boss will give you a new set of higher key performance indicator (KPI). You would probably commit to perform better and try to get a raise, if not a promotion on the coming round of performance review. Most likely, most new year resolution has something to do with money and earning more income.
Setting a Higher Goal
When it comes to personal financial matter, I normally urge people to set a higher target of savings and investments. It is easier to achieve if you can make a higher income this year compared to last year. Of course, bigger goal comes with bigger challenges. I'll talk about the biggest challenge of all in this article. Just a hint – it is not about the lack of discipline, lack of strategies, lack of time…You can make a guess now but keep on reading.
What's your New Year Resolution?
Okay, enough about money. What about other types of resolutions you set for the new year? If you want a better relationship with your family, you might commit to spend extra time with your kids, or date your spouse more, like at least once in a week. When you spend that extra time with your kid, you want to really get into their world, and not just letting your son to play on the iPad while you watch the latest TV shows.
If you have a new year resolution to have a healthier body, you might have committed to eat more vegetables and cut down your fat intake. You might subscribed to a gym in order to work out more frequently. Extra effort needed if you really want to look good and young.
Some people also have a resolution to travel to certain places. For example, I have a friend who blocks out the vacation dates on his calendar. He knows exactly where he will be visiting for the whole year. Air tickets are booked early and he will simply reject all other events including wedding invitation that falls within his vacation period.
All these different resolution is believed to be able to contribute to your overall happiness. More or less, each one of those commitment is going to make your life better. Assuming that you successfully make it all, you are supposed to live happier, healthier and wealthier at the end of the year.
Making a new year's resolution is easy. The big problem now is how to do it all. All these stuff require not just money, but also a lot of your time commitment and effort. These two resources is what majority of us lack of.
For example, if you spend more time to make money, you are left with not much time to spend on building a better relationship. You don't have much energy to exercise and build a healthier body. Under stressful working environment, some people even tends to eat more just to relieve the pressure.
Here is the biggest challenge
Let's dig deeper to the crux of the matter. What I think is the biggest challenge of all is that most people start with zero on 1st of January.
If you are a salesperson, you start with zero order until you close the first case. Last year's production is considered done and it is counted for last year's, not this year's production. If you are an employee, your performance is reset whenever your boss is replaced. Your pay is of course starting from zero every day since you are paid as long as you work for your employer. If you are in those kind of business that relies on new sales every day, you basically start from zero at the beginning of the year.
So to make more money this year, you got to repeat the effort you put in last year, and plus some more effort to secure an income increment. I can say most of the people who are earning an active income are facing this problem. To make more money this year, you have no choice but to work even harder, if not smarter this year compared to the years before.
Not to start with ZERO
What can you do about this? In fact, there are some important elements that when done right, you don't have to start with zero every year. I'll give some examples of how this concept work.
First example, I subscribe to some services that I use on a regular basis on my business. These include the mailing list application which I pay several hundred ringgits a month, the website hosting service which I pay a few thousands ringgits a year, and the several magazine and membership subscription I renew regularly. These service providers I just mentioned don't start with zero sales. They have a ready subscribed customers who will continue to use their service as long as the service is good and updated.
Another example is the unit trust consultant. These consultants not just get paid when clients deposit new fund to invest. They are also paid a certain fee on the asset under their management. So they starts with a basic amount of pay. The effort they put in this new year is going to contribute to the bottom line, increasing their commission paid on the total fund under their management.
Take a look at the household items at your home. Do you subscribe to Internet, Astro, water filtering system? More and more businesses are moving into providing subscription based service or products. This is how they can scale bigger and take in more business on top of the existing subscribers.
Start with a base
The whole picture is different when you start with a base. So the effort you put in these year to grow your income will be built on top of your last year's revenue. If you structure your career or business this way, you will have the luxury of having more time to commit to your other non-money-related resolutions. You'll have more time to improve your relationship, your health, your look and ultimately your happiness.
It is important to increase your income every year, so that your other non-money related resolutions can be met too. So that's why I said that the biggest challenge to increase your income this year is the reality that you start with zero on 1st of January.
Now, I want you to think hard about how you make money. How your business is structured? How your career is allowing you to leverage on what you've done on previous year? What is important to do this year that will still have an impact next year and the future? If you can arrange your business model in such a way that you start with a subscribed clients, repeat customers, renewal income etc. Congratulations!

Celebrity journalism is often considered to be without merit, discounted due to its sensational details and lack of news value. MU researchers now say that celebrity journalism may be an underappreciated way to communicate health messages. In a recent award-winning paper, Amanda Hinnant, assistant professor of magazine journalism in the University of Missouri School of Journalism, found some readers of celebrity health stories report that the stories have an impact on their own behavior and how they discuss health issues.
Hinnant, with co-author Elizabeth Hendrickson from the University of Tennessee, utilized focus groups that discussed various celebrity health news stories and how each story affected the participants. Previous research had indicated that after a person read a health news story, they would then seek out interpersonal advice from a friend or family member before deciding to change their health behaviors. Hinnant says celebrity health stories could circumvent that step.
"Based on the discussion of participants, we observed that it is possible for celebrities to serve as surrogate interpersonal contacts for people," Hinnant said. "Therefore, it would be less likely for a consumer of celebrity media to check with a friend or family member before changing a health behavior based on a mass-mediated message. The presence of a celebrity in a health story could serve as that interpersonal contact for the reader."
Hinnant says participants in her research demonstrated how they took celebrity health behaviors seriously, weighing the moral implications and mitigating circumstances of a celebrity's life before judging a health behavior. Her study also revealed how the readers are an active audience, one that considers context instead of just conduct. Hinnant believes a person may be more likely to respond to a celebrity health story if that person has past experience with the specific issue in question.
"A story about a celebrity's postpartum health behavior will likely elicit stronger reactions from consumers with children than from those without," Hinnant said. "Similarly, a story about a celebrity experiencing addiction may stimulate a stronger response from consumers who have witnessed a similar circumstance. In these cases, the health messages likely have different effects on experienced consumers than non-experienced consumers."
Hinnant believes celebrity health messages play an important role in society, in that for many celebrity media consumers, they are a catalyst for discussions about health information. She says her research indicates that reaction to health messages is often linked to a consumer's own experience with the communicated health behavior.
Hinnant's paper was presented at "The Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication" conference.

Way up in Maine, in the coastal town of Blue Hill, is Jonathan's, a small place much favored by locals. Owner Jonathan Chase and chef Richard Hanson both love fish, whether from the sea or from freshwater lakes and streams. This colorful main course is good with buttered and dilled new potatoes. Round out the meal with a green salad, and end with a slice of lattice-topped blueberry pie. (If necessary, have the fishmonger bone the trout, or use four small fillets.)
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
Leave a Review
This is a very easy and elegant fish dish. I've also made it with skinless fish (rock cod) and have added red onion to the cabbage as well. Even our finicky fish eaters love it.
This very simple recipe lets the few highlighted flavors really shine. The cabbage is unexpectedly delectable, and the color of it is just gorgeous. This recipe has become a regular around our house.
I prepared this for a casual, at-home 4th date. The date went very well. Easy to make & very tasty, particularly pleased with the way the cabbage turned out.
Ditch the trout, keep the cabbage! I'll use it for all other white fish dishes!
Very tasty and attractive! My husband thought he didn't like cabbage until I made this dish.
Really delicious and fairly easy to prepare.
I made this when it first came out in September and have repeated it several times. The bacon gives the trout a nice flavor.

Yeah, I misunderstood how the handgrips were installed. Now that I've seen a picture of it, I want one!
does anyone have any photos of a worn-in brown 256 bag? i'm about to pull the trigger on a 256, but i am torn between the brown and tan.
i like the tan because its a classic, and looks great worn-in, but i'm concerned about how the color will work in the professional office setting. the brown seems more appropriate and would work with business attire better.
anyone have an aged brown bag?
He has good taste. I work in the Biotech industry and also wear business attire. I had a colleague recently comment that my well worn tan 256 reminded him of Zack Galifianakis' satchel in the Hangover. Some folks just don't get it. Clearly you and your VP do get it.

In the year 1865, a small book entitled A Colored Man's Reminiscences of James Madison was published. It was written by Paul Jennings, who was born on James Madison's plantation, Montpelier, Virginia, in the year 1799. As you might have guessed, he was the son of slaves. But, at his death, he was a free man with a family. This is Paul Jennings' story.
He was born on the Madison family plantation in Virginia to a mother of African and Indian ancestry. His father was an Englishman.
Most of the time, mixed-race slaves were house servants: ladies' maids, gentleman's valets and minders for the children. Some thought this was a privileged life compared to the field servants but, not always. House servants were always under the thumb of the master and mistress and had to wait on them hand and foot and travel with them whether they wanted to go or not.
When Madison entered the political arena, Jenning's life changed drastically. In Washington, he saw free black people and hoped that one day he would also be free. His attitude changed as the president's servant and he saw some of the most influential men in the country. This was Jennings' life in his early years.
When the Madisons left the White House, Jennings became the ex-president's valet at Montpelier. This put him in contact with the family every day. It also provided him with the means to write a White House memoir which became a history of slavery and the early years of the United States.
There were free black men in Washington at that time but, it is a shocking contrast that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Madison, three of the Founding Fathers, were slave owners. As the author's notes describe: "These slaves were lorded over by the general who won the War for Independence, the author of the Declaration of Independence, and the architect of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, respectively. They all owned slaves and their plantations were run as all others in the South."
This was the life of Jennings and the Madison family. Jennings was present when the former President died in 1836. In the year 1847, he bought his freedom from Dolley Madison for $120 (a huge amount of money in those days). The money was loaned to him by Senator Daniel Webster.
Following this transaction, Paul worked for Webster to repay him for the cost of his freedom. There are many tales in this fabulous book including the saving of the portrait of George Washington by Gilbert Stuart that hung in the White House and was in danger during the War of 1812 as the British Army torched the building. It was said that Jennings helped Dolley Madison save the portrait but, in his memoirs, Jennings states that he and a French cook saved the picture.
Even if you are not a lover of biographies and/or memoirs, please pick this one up. The author did an amazing job in researching this book with the help of Jennings descendants. It's a keeper.
