It seems like my backyard changed overnight. With the warmer weather during the weekend, the daffodils and early tulips are blooming, the lilac has a host of tender, tiny leaves and the grass is brilliant green and lush. You gotta love spring ... truly a season of second chances, isn't it?
What's the BigDeal? Every week, the Bureau County Republican offers readers an opportunity to save some cash with deals from area establishments. You can find our BigDeals! on our website at www.bcrnews.com. Following is this week's BigDeal!:
• At Sophisticuts Salon And Wellness Boutique in Princeton, you can get a wellness massage for only $22.50, available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesdays and Sundays only. This is a great deal, since it's regularly priced at $45. Check it out and be prepared to relax!
The Bureau County Republican needs a little help with a couple of stories we are working on; if you know of someone that would be a great fit for the following two stories, give BCR Staff Writers Donna Barker and Goldie Currie a call or email them.
• Are you an area man who has his own "man cave?" You know ... an area in your home, basement or garage reserved just for you. Or maybe you are the wife of a "man cave" owner? Either way, the Bureau County Republican wants to share your "man cave" with other readers in an upcoming special section in the BCR. Call BCR Senior Staff Writer Donna Barker at 815-875-4461, ext. 244, or email her at email@example.com.

Contact BCR Staff Writer Goldie Currie at 815-875-4461, ext. 236, or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Customer Service Kudos: Do you know a person or business that delivers great customer service? If so, send me an email at email@example.com, so I can help you recognize their efforts. Following are the Kudos I received this week:
• Barb said her Kudos go to Pigati Builders in LaSalle. "I asked a friend for someone good and honest, and I not only got that plus affordable and incredibly quick. I'd recommend this contractor to anyone!"
• Connie said her Kudos go to Kramer's Kitchen in Princeton. "Besides a great meal, this place makes you feel like you're eating at a good friend's house. Everybody is so nice, and you leave feeling like the employees are glad you came."
It's really a busy time of the year with lots of activities on the calendar. This weekend, there are a some really great activities I want to mention.
• The Convoy for Cancer, organized by my buddy Phil Hocking, is set for Saturday on Ladd's Main Street. The event is free and features a huge, big truck show along with entertainment, food, activities, door prizes and more. All the proceeds from this annual event go to the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. Check out our story on Page 3.
• Also this Saturday, you'll want to attend the Be the Match marrow community drive hosted by Bureau County Illinois Thrivent Board from 9 a.m. to noon at the Bureau County Metro Center and Zearing Park, both in Princeton. Find out if you're a match for a person in need of a marrow transplant. See our story on Page 4.
• And don't forget the Bureau Valley High School's Plant Sale, hosted by the school's botany class and FFA, that runs from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday. Great plants, great prices, great fundraiser for great kids.
Enjoy your spring! Breathe. Exhale. And remember ... you are important to me and the BCR.

In a glitzy presentation at New York City's Radio City music hall, Samsung unveiled its newest smartphone, the Galaxy S4, which will be available in the second quarter of this year. No pricing was revealed – Samsung would only say it will be priced like a premium smartphone. Expect to see it on all major U.S. carriers.
The phone looks very much like its predecessor, the Galaxy S3, with rounded corners and a plastic body. The phone is thinner and lighter than the S3, however, but has a bigger screen, at 5 inches diagonally. JK Shin, president of IT and Mobile Communications for Samsung, used the phrase, "less to hold, more to see". The Super AMOLED screen has 441 pixels per inch and a resolution of 1,920-by-1,080 pixels.
Bonus: The touchscreen will even work if you're wearing gloves. You can also control the screen by gestures, so you don't even have to touch it.
The S4 will come with either a 1.9-GHz quad-core or 1.6-GHz octa-core processor. (The former, sadly, is what's expected to show up in the U.S.) All models will come with 2 gigabytes of RAM. All this is powered by a 2,600 mAh, replaceable battery.
It will have additional sensors, including one for temperature and humidity.
As expected, the S4 has a 13-megapixel rear camera, while the front camera has 2 megapixels. The two cameras can be used together in several picture-within-picture modes that I'll detail in a moment.
It will be available with 16, 32 and 64 gigabytes of storage, and comes with a microSD slot so you can add up to 64 GB more. Versions will be made for both 3G and 4G LTE carriers, and Samsung plans to support most flavors of LTE around the world.
Although the S4 was rumored to ship with Android 4.1 – causing Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller to tell the Wall Street Journal that it was running "year-old software" – it will actually come with the latest Android release, 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.
And Samsung is counting on the S4's software to differentiate it from previous models and its competition. The phone is bristling with software-based features, including:
• As rumored, the S4 watches your eyes and let you stop and start video activity based on whether you're looking at it. It is also used to stop and start scrolling, with the page moving in the direction you hold the device.
• Both cameras can be combined for video-within-video, so you can insert yourself into a movie as you capture it. The still camera can record multiple images, then erase people who've walked by in the background, or even deliberately photo-bombed you. The dual-video feature can also be used to do dual video chats – with both cameras active while you chat with someone else.
• S-Translation does on the fly translation of nine different languages. Type your message into the device and it speaks the translation. You can also speak into the device and have the translation appear as text. It will also translate emails and chats.
• Story Album creates albums for groups of photos taken in similar locations and at similar times. You can also order hardcopy versions of the albums for between $10 and $30.
• The S4 works with Samsung's HomeSync hard drive, essentially an network home server for storing and streaming media. HomeSync also will work with other wireless devices.
• Samsung Smart Switch app for the PC will let you move your info from any other smartphone to the S4. (Is there a Mac version?)
• S-Voice Drive is a version of Samsung's voice recognition service designed specifically for use while driving. Among other things, it reads and responds to emails and other messages.
• Knox, which was first shown earlier this year, is aimed at business and enterprise users. Built on top of a security-enhanced version of Android, it separates the phone into two parts – one for business, the other for personal use.
There's a lot more, and you can find other details at the Samsung Tomorrow blog. Full specs are below.
Original post:
Samsung will take the wraps off its next flagship smartphone tonight, introducing the Galaxy S4 at an event in New York City. It starts at 6 p.m. CDT, and you can watch live below.
I'll update this blog post with all the details later this evening after the event is over.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Love these they make the uphill trek a little easier on the legs, very valuable piece of equipment.
Run up Hill
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These dual height climbing heals are essential if venturing onto steeper terrain. Don't overlook these, you will regret it, the dual position height adjustments allows you to change your set up as you go.
You need these
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
No more burning legs on steep stuff, just reach down with the poles do a little hook and flip and your set to climb mountains. Light and versatile these dual height risers help get the job done when the peak demands a little more. They are squeaky at first but give them some time and they break in and quiet up.
Dual Height is Key
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Having the option for that higher heel is so nice when going up those steep skin tracks. These heels are also strong. Feel free to kick that edge in while your heels are up and not feel like your going to break them. The notch makes putting them up and down with your pole easy so your not having to squat down every time.
Split board on Wasatch skin tracks
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I gave these as a gift to a buddy and he reported back that the product has been great. Wasatch skin tracks can be steep, so the extra rise is appreciated and the dual options were very well received. Great product, great local company - installs relatively easy too.
Yep they are climbing ladders
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are a little odd to set up but they get the job done. Not sure how they compare to weights of other options but seem bomber and easy to replace parts if needed
They do what they say they do.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Does what it says. Easy to install, makes climbing easier with a choice of lift. I really wish that they would incorporate a locking system the climbing heel and the light rail bindings. but other then that they work just fine.
Cheap upgrade for your splitboard
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Having 2 heights makes the skin up much more enjoyable. Being able to adjust your climbing heel height to work with the slope angle means your legs will be happier. I'm using these with my Karokoram Split 30 Bindings and they work great.
Yup, They Work!
Clearly you need climbing bars on that splitboard, makes climbing way easier! Works great with Voile or old Spark Bindings.
good product
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use these climbing blocks on my old split setup as well as the new hard boot setup. they're light, durable, and easy to install. the climbing wires support my weight well (5'8" 150 lbs). the first set lasted a full season of touring, about 80 days. the larger wire is massive and your skins or skinning technique will limit you're uphill travel before the blocks. I'm my opinion they're barely necessary unless you tour in a place similar to the wasatch where skin tracks go strait up the mountain. just my 2 cents.
Good improvement
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Had the DIY kit which didn't come with the dual height wire. The higher wire makes it much easier for steeper touring. I leave booth up if I'm using the higher one and when or if it mellows out easy pole push for a flatter positioned binding. With the crampons attached to the board and high heel, you can climb surprisingly steep.
Everyone Needs Two Settings
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Why Splitboarders had to put up with only having one climbing wire height for so long is mind boggling. There is no other choice than to set up your Split with these dual height jobbies. Increasing the heel height makes it easier to climb steep terrain.
The hard part is getting your finger under the wire to raise it with a glove on, but Splitboarders are resourceful.
Great picture Adrian! Thanks for sharing!
You don't use your grip on your poles to raise the wires? I smashed a finger once, that was the last time I used my hands
I don't mind going first
Setting the skin track for Neil
why don't you have these?
I've heard you can adapt the G3s, but I went with these for simplicity. Made steep climbs a breeze! smooth action on both levers, almost easier to reach with a pole handle than the original climbing wire.
My shins and calves thanked me my first tour with them up to Camp Muir. A splitboarding must unless you're just going Cross Country Splitboarding.
Skin straight up
Dual height climbing heels are essential for me. It is insane how much steeper you can go with the high bars.
Folks with regular heels will get angry at the steep skin tracks you will set... Don't settle for one height, when you can have two! Way to go Voile!
But, If you cut switch-backs you will use less energy, and cut a skin track others can follow easier.
Just something to consider......
I agree with Hayden! Not everyone has lungs like you Neil! But yeah these are a no brainer if you want to save your calf muscles from ripping!
So the description states "factory-built Voile Splitboard only" but is that true? I have an Arbor Abacus and want to know if these would work for that....Thanks
Hey Jonathon, yes they should work. The mounting pattern is the same across all brands. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any other questions. 1-800-409-4502 x 4775 or email@example.com
How much do these weigh?
Just installed the dual wire system on a...
Just installed the dual wire system on a splitboard I'm currently building. I've noticed the long wire lays really close to where I want to install my rear binding. I'm not sure I can get the stance I want without flipping the wire vertical. How have people who've installed the dual wire getting around this?
There are a few things that will affect the interference of the bindings and climbing heels.
What measurements are you using to mount the touring brackets? If these are mounted too far back on the board, then you'll throw the pivot point off but also create a possible interference between the climbing heels and the rear binding.
Also, how far apart is your stance? Are you running a narrow stance? That could affect and create possible interference.
Plus how you mount the climbing heels in relation to the touring brackets will affect the height of your heels and the angle of your binding while touring.
Hope this helps, let me know some more info and I can do my best to help you out.

is the highest hight on the dual higher than the stock riser ? How much higher ?
I've used both set ups, I've found the stock wires to be the middle height while the "high" is higher and the low is lower.
I like the ability to have 2 heights but at the same time I'm adjusting them so much as opposed to just making the stock ones work for me.

As the world gets more crowded and landfills fill up more of the land, people are looking for ways to build homes using fewer raw materials and more repurposed old materials. In addition to being an ecologically sound practice, and cheap or even free, it also just looks cool. Using, say, vintage corrugated tin is more original and sturdy than throwing up another cheap particle-board wall that won't last long enough to be salvaged.
It would do homebuilders well to take a lesson from nature. Like the example of a bird weaving found bits of string or shreds of plastic bags into its nest, the following homes are made using materials that were reclaimed from their previous purposes.
In this collection of homes from across the globe, we have houses made from parts of vehicles that used to drive and fly, homes made with decades-old building supplies and details, and buildings crafted from unexpected everyday objects. This list shows not just freestanding, newly built houses but also an urban apartment.

Rangers' Staal out for Game 4
New York, NY – New York Rangers defenseman Marc Staal will not play in Wednesday's Game 4 of the team's Eastern Conference quarterfinal series against the Washington Capitals.
Staal returned for New York's Game 3 victory after missing the previous 29 games due to a serious eye injury and had 17:17 worth of ice time.
The 26-year-old blueliner did not take the ice with the Rangers during pregame warm-ups.
Forward Ryan Clowe, who sat out New York's last four games with an undisclosed injury, did take part in warm-ups and will be on the ice as the Rangers attempt to even their series at two games apiece.

By AFP, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 2014, SSN;
The United Nations Security Council is due in Nairobi on Wednesday for talks with East Africa's regional leaders on South Sudan's stalemated peace negotiations.
The top-level UN diplomatic delegation brings a pessimistic outlook to the Kenyan capital following what the council president described as "disappointing" discussions with South Sudan's warring chiefs.
"We did not hear much from them that gave us hope that there would be rapid agreement in the talks in Addis Ababa," said UK Ambassador to the UN Mark Lyall Grant.
"Both said they recognised there was no military solution to the crisis, but the two positions remain far apart."
"Frankly, the Security Council is annoyed and angry at what has happened," added Amb Grant, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council in August.
"We underlined a very strong message that there would be consequences for those who try to undermine the peace process, and are not willing to put aside their personal agendas in the interest of their people."
In their talks in Nairobi with ministers of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (Igad), council members will discuss possible sanctions on those South Sudanese held responsible for continuing an eight-month civil war.
Igad said in May that it would consider initiating punitive measures if South Sudan's belligerents failed to meet an August 10 deadline for forming a unity government.
That deadline passed with no sign of an agreement emerging from the talks in Addis Ababa.
The Security Council mission to East Africa comes amid increasingly urgent warnings that famine may soon take thousands of lives in South Sudan. END

The Formula to Keep the Aviation Industry Strong
Posted by Bert Maes on April 1, 2010
Boeing is in the news. The aviation industry definitely seems the branch to watch. But the challenge we face is significant.
The global powerhouse of aviation manufacturing is (believe it or not): Kansas, USA.
50% (!) of the world's general aviation is manufactured in Kansas. Boeing, Bombardier, Cessna Aircraft, Hawker Beechcraft and Spirit Aerosystems plants are all located over there. The region offers the largest aviation supplier base in the world. Boeing is one of those many manufacturing icons still made in the USA.
So, clearly, the aviation industry powers the wide economy. Manufacturing is the leading industry for Kansas. Aviation manufacturing is still the # 1 net export in the United States, with 60% of the world's aerospace sales. So there is an impressive potential as the industry grows.
Currently, there are 36,500 aerospace manufacturing jobs in Kansas, and another 142,350 jobs are supported by aviation directly or indirectly. The business is booming, BUT… Boeing already reported that by 2015, 40% of the aircraft maker's workers reach retirement age. "That's some 60,000 employees eligible to retire in five years. We just don't see the recruitment pipeline meeting our needs".
Peter Gustaf confirms that 27% of the Kansas aviation manufacturing workforce is eligible for retirement, 40% over the next 5 years. Over 1,000 workers are needed in 2010, with an additional 1,000 expected each year for the next 10 years. 12,000 people alone are needed for retirement replacement. This suggests that we need 25,000 skilled workers…
The formula for aviation's continued success is clear, according to Peter Gustaf:
- Strong aviation companies and suppliers
- World leader in aviation research (via the Wichita State University's National Institute of Aviation Research(NIAR))
- Strong work ethic
- Access to potential workforce
So the top strategic priority in Kansas is now: technical training to ensure a skilled workforce and competitive skills.
That is the reason why The National Center for Aviation Training (NCAT) has been developed, offering:
- Training programs to meet the changing needs of employers, learners and families in the region;
- Training in a real-world environment that prepares them for high-tech work in general aviation manufacturing, and aircraft and power plant mechanics;
- Training in a world-class training facility with cutting edge technology to meet industry needs, as new technologies require new skills and extensive re-training;
- Training as a one-stop solution for flexible and customized education to meet business needs to the best aviation maintenance technicians, composites technicians, aerostructures technicians and machine technology specialists,…to name a few.
Initiatives like this, using a "business-driven" model of technical training, will be key to keep our economic drivers going and to maintain and enhance quality of life. Don't you think so??

Edison High School presented a showcase of its performing arts programs at the historic Huntington Beach High School Auditorium on Friday.
Taking the stage that evening were the Edison High School Jazz Ensemble, the Advanced Choir, Percussion Ensemble and Wind Ensemble, all presenting an evening of excellent musical performances.
The Edison High School Performing Arts Showcase aimed to encourage participation in the performing arts by showcasing the work of some of the school's most creative and talented students. The showcase was a first opportunity for many of the performers to demonstrate what they have been working on throughout the school year and was an opportunity for them to experience performing on stage and to improve their performing abilities.
The Jazz Ensemble began the evening with "Area 51," "Check Your Swing," "Jive Samba" and "1.21 GigaWatts." These pieces range from a high energy rock chart to a medium tempo swing chart, from an exciting Latin-influenced piece to a high-energy, up-tempo jazz/rock song, all of which demonstrated the versatility and skills of the Jazz Ensemble. The performance included solo improvisations by several of the student musicians.
The Advanced Choir, directed by Joe Kral, skillfully performed several selections from a festival in which they had recently competed. This gave the students another chance to perform on stage for their peers and to share their artistic talents.
"One Or The Other" is the name of the Percussion Ensemble's 2013 show, which they will use to compete in drum line competitions during the next few months. Drum line competitions are held to specific times and judged on various criteria; however, this evening the group of percussionists did not march but used the opportunity to demonstrate their rhythmical talents and polish their performing skills.
Finally, the Wind Ensemble took the stage to perform Novo Lenio followed by Foundry by John Mackey as conducted by EHS Assistant Band Director Kristen Robertson, a piece that celebrates the fact that percussionists have the ability to make just about anything into an instrument. The ensemble closed with a lively MacArthur Park.
It was an excellent evening showcasing the outstanding talents of the Edison High School musical students.
SUSAN DAVIS is a member of the Edison High School band boosters. Her daughter is a junior at the school and a member of color guard.

Faces are the central sense organ complexes, for those animals that have one, normally on the ventral surface of the head. The face is the feature which best distinguishes a person, and include the visible elements of hair, forehead, eyebrow, eyelashes, eyes, nose, ears, cheeks, mouth, lips, philtrum, teeth, skin, and chin. The face has uses of expression, appearance, and identity amongst others. It also has different senses like olfaction, taste, hearing, and vision.

- Two studies investigated gender stereotyping in American magazine photos. Study 1 compares cover photos of men and women on face-ism, an index of the degree to which a photo focuses on the face versus the body. Photos of women are found to focus more on their bodies and photos of men on their faces, a finding consistent with previous research. This finding is strongly mediated by other variables, however, particularly the social role of the cover person. Study 2 compares the facial expressions, specifically the mouth positions, of men and women in advertisements from several popular magazines. Women are significantly more likely than men to be photographed with their mouths open, presumably portraying less serious expressions.

- Discerning the emotional expression of a face is traditionally thought of as a higher-order cognitive process in which the structural representation of the face is associated with semantic and cognitive information (Bruce and Young, 1986; Balconi and Lucchiari, 2005). Consistent with this model, facial affect recognition has been associated with ERP responses occurring between 400 and 600 ms post-stimulus (Potter and Parker, 1989; Hautecoeur et al., 1993; Halgren and Marinkovic, 1995). However, increasing evidence shows that facial affect recognition can occur earlier. Several studies have reported affect-related ERPs in the 180–250 ms post-stimulus interval, immediately following the structural face encoding response (Marinkovic and Halgren, 1998; Streit et al., 1999; Streit et al., 2001). More recent evidence suggests that the emotional expression of a face can modulate face-specific ERPs (Williams et al., 2006), with negative emotions eliciting larger face-specific ERPs (Caharel et al., 2005).

Two weeks ago, a baby was killed after a collision involving a suspected drunken driver. Actually, the mother was pregnant at the time and emergency responders had to rush her to the hospital, where a cesarean section was performed in an attempt to save the baby, but the baby died about a minute after its birth.
Now, Ramon Hernandez, 43, of Santa Fe, is facing multiple felonies in connection with the Interstate 25 wreck. State police said it's the fifth time he's been charged with driving drunk.

With almost 60000 strong enrolled at Ohio State, you can guarantee that the tempo of university life is the heartbeat of Columbus. There are a lot of benefits to sharing space with the university. World-class lecturers, entertainers, musicians, and artists regularly stop here on national tour or campus tour. Not all of its intellectual life is confined to campus grounds, either. Unavoidably, what goes on in the classrooms and lecture halls of the Ohio State leaves those four walls to make the city of Columbus a natural intellectual leader. Just check out the festival idUS, which invites the world to Columbus to discuss cutting edge trends in design and sustainability. With so many bright minds, competition thrives here, producing better and better products and services for the future.

Whatever your passion-- the life of the mind, athletics, the arts, and everything in between-- you can find it here.
Start with neighborhoods like the Short North Arts District. Stroll along High Street and stop in every gallery that catches your fancy. Continue in German Village, where every nook and cranny of local bookstore The Book Loft is crammed with books. As you would expect, the food in German Village is fantastic.

On nearby 3rd street, you can walk off the calories while you admire architecture reminiscent of a German village, straight from the nineteenth century.
Germans are not the only group who left their mark on Columbus. The city enjoys a long and proud history as a center of African-American life and achievement. Black Enterprise magazine calls Columbus one of their "Top Ten Cities for African Americans." Everywhere you'll see evidence of the ways African-Americans played a crucial role in making this city what it is. The King Arts Complex-- built, staged, and lived in almost entirely by people of color-- is one landmark that's worth the trip to see. As you visit, you'll be walking in the footsteps of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and the Cotton Club Dancers, who made this venue legendary. The legacy of African-Americans in Columbus goes back even further into history, though, with the story of runaway slaves, who escaped to freedom in Canada through safe houses In Columbus. To learn more, visit the Kelton House, a stop on the Underground Railroad.

This is a special day. A few weeks ago, I decided to forge ahead and try to research my mother's father, Adam Douglas (Dobrovolskis), born in Lithuania and arrived in the U.S. with his sister in 1914. I only had 2 documents that might be clues. But, they were in Lithuanian, or Russian, or something.
I joined the Lithuanian Rootsweb list many years ago, figuring that I might educate myself about Lithuanian history and research. Thanks to that list, there were a couple of consistent recommendations for researchers in Lithuania. Since traveling to Lithuania is not currently in my budget, I decided to try one of the researchers to see if there was any evidence that might be available. The remarkable Sigita agreed to undertake the research, and translated the papers, which were a birth record for one Casimir Dobrovolskis and a school record for my grandfather. It did give a starting point.
Tonight, a document arrived in my email box. It is a marriage record for Adam's parents, which documents their marriage date, village AND THEIR PARENTS' NAMES. I wish I could show you, but it is a .pdf and not a jpeg. But here is the translation:
Marriage Record of Jonas Dobrovolskis to
Petronele Urnikaite (Urnikas) on 1892 y .
On 16th of February, 1892 In Roman Catholic
church in Alsedžiai Rev.Juozas Dargužas, the
pastor of this church after triple announcements
blessed a matrimony of a peasant of Alsedžiai
vicinity 25 years old Jonas Dobrovolskis from
Šašaičiai village in Kalvarija parish ( he was a
son of Jonas Dobrovolskis and Pranciška
(Francis), nee Gintvainyte (Gintwojn) to a
peasant of the same vicinity 22 years old
Petronele Urnikaite from Platakiai village in
Alsedžiai parish (she was a daughter of
Kazimieras Urnikas and Ona, nee Labžintyte
(Labžintis). Witnesses were- Pranas Urbonas,
Julijonas Urnikas and others.
Translation from Russian language
Wow, indeed!

Aix en Provence, France is getting a new Apple Store according to ifoAppleStore. It'll be constructed in a way that'll make it almost transparent. It will be modeled somewhat from the New York City Apple store on the upper west side. A store near me in Lincoln Park, IL already has an almost all glass design as well.
Aix en Provence receives heavy tourism and could be considered a prime location. The area has seen a lot of construction lately with the addition of several up-scale stores and shops. The store should open to the public by late 2012 or early 2013.

Liam Fires Coleshill To Further Stage In Classic
Coleshill Town booked their place in the FA Cup First Qualifying Round after edging out Bromsgrove Sporting in a seven goal thriller. More than 700 fans saw the lead change several times at the Victoria Ground before supersub Liam Molesworth fired the visitors into the next round with a 4-3 victory. Sporting took a 14th minute lead when Liam Spink netted but Coleshill hit back through Matt Gardner eight minutes later before Ryan Edmunds added a second for Town with a stunning 25 yard shot. Sporting equalised when Jordan Jones cut inside before lashing the ball in at the near post. Max Loveridge restored Bromgrove's lead at the start of the second half with a well worked goal but the scores were level again on 57 minutes when Edmunds was fouled inside the box and Dean Rathbone sent home keeper Reece Francis the wrong way. Molesworth's winner came on 66 minutes, the Coleshill substitute weaving his way into the area before curling his shot into the bottom corner.
What a strange game! The lead and the momentum swung from Sporting to Town and back again throughout the match and although the quality of the goals was stunning, the quality of the football was disappointing with neither side playing particularly well.
Coleshill started really nervously and Ryan Edmunds in particular looked out of sorts and frustrated, I would love to know what that was all about! Luckily for Coleshill Edmunds overcame his hesitancy and was involved in all four of Coleshill's goals in a Man Of The Match performance. Sporting could have took an early lead when Hewitt cut inside and hit a vicious shot that cannoned off Joe Cole. But Town slowly started to find their feet and a through ball by Danny Tymon found Dean Rathbone who tried to place the ball in the far corner but the ball not only missed the post but also the outstretched leg of the diving Matt Gardner. Reece Leek jinked his way down the left wing only to see his cross headed over the bar by Gardner. From a Sporting corner, Bunn's shot was blocked by Jorna Moulton and Coleshill broke quickly, Rathbone setting up Leek who hit the post with a left foot strike. The Colemen could have been two up but on 14 minutes they were one down against the run of play. A fabulous cross field ball from Hewitt found Bunn wide right and he rolled the ball into the path of Spink who side footed into the net despite Town keeper Paul Hathaway getting a hand to the effort. On 22 minutes Ryan Edmunds took a free kick from 25 yards out and his superb delivery found Matt Gardner at the far post. His strike was parried by home keeper Francis but the ball trickled over the line 1-1. Luke Edwards, making his first appearance in his second spell at Coleshill, cleared a through ball from Bunn but it hit Wills allowing him a free run at goal but his attempted lob went just over the bar. On 37 minutes an early contender for Goal Of The Season. Reece Leek rolled the ball into the path of Anton Astley, his cross was headed out by Courtney into the path of Ryan Edmunds who was about 20 yards from goal. Edmunds struck the ball with such venom that had their not been a net the ball would have found it's way back to Pack Meadow. 2-1 to the Colemen. The lead lasted just three minutes as the home side hit back. Sporting had a sustained attack but Coleshill's defence stood firm and looked in control until full back Jones cut inside and shot left footed into the net. Whether the ball took a deflection it is difficult to say but keeper Hathaway will be disappointed he was beaten on this occasion. Another great delivery by Edmunds ever so nearly found Luke Edwards at the far post and Matt Gardner shot wide from an Edmunds cross as a hectic 45 minutes ended all square at 2-2.
Bromsgrove started the second half the dominant side. Spink toe poked an effort wide before Max Loveridge pinched the ball in midfield, past to Spink and ran on for the return which carved the Town defence wide open. Loveridge finished well by rolling the ball under Hathaway and into the net on 48 minutes. Sporting were now rampant and another goal would have sunk the visitors. A Morris through ball sent Malley clear but the all left footed player sent a right footed effort wide. Coleshill had to dig deep and on 57 minutes they forced their way back into the game. Dean Rathbone sent a long ball into the box to the feet of Ryan Edmunds with his back to goal. His clever turn was too much for Jones who upended Edmunds, penalty. Rathbone, the calmest man in the ground, had no trouble finding the net, 3-3. Liam Molesworth and Gio Dainty replaced Matt Gardner and Joe Halsall who had both given their all. Joe Cole did great work in stopping danger down by the bye-line but Anton Astley's clearance only found Jones who crossed for Hewitt whose goal bound effort was blocked by the hard working Coleshill defence. On 66 minutes Town got their noses in front again as a Reece Leek cross found Ryan Edmunds in the box. His clever pass found Liam Molesworth and his quick feet found room for a shot at goal that bent round the keeper and into the net. Still over twenty minutes for Coleshill to hang on. Bunn's free kick flashed across the face of goal missing everyone including Courtney at the far post Substitute and ex Town favourite Chris Lloyd hit a free kick hard and low but Paul Hathaway made a great save on the line. Ryan Edmunds sent a free kick into the home box and there was a big, big shout for hand ball against Josh Quaynor. Lloyd shot left footed not too far over the bar and in the dying seconds Danny Tymon set Reece Leek free but his goal bound shot was tipped away with the finest of touches by keeper Francis.
Coleshill held on for a famous win against all the odds and are now in the draw for the First Qualifying Round of the FA Cup which takes place Monday. They have also won all four opening games of the season which already puts new manager Cameron Stuart in the Coleshill Town record books.
Bromsgrove Sporting 3 v 4 Coleshill Town. FA Cup.

Julius Sekac vs Honza Forst
What a couple of good looking guys we have in Julius Sekac. They are up for a wrestling match and, with similar builds, we can expect a very even contest. In just shirts and underwear they start the match and quickly our expectactions are fully met, with the rounds being shared. Underwear comes off as they wrestle, so we get to see some very hot ass shots and a couple of swinging dicks as the guys battle to be supreme. With such an even match it is no surprise that the efforts increase and shirts become torn as a result. Each guy is giving his best and they end up naked through all their efforts. Oiling each other adds a new dimension to this wonderful video and when the match resumes we eventually find our winner. This is a really great match, from two very attractive guys, well wrestled and showing everything beautifully.

Sudden Sight Changes
I have never had any trouble with my sight until 3 years ago. I noticed from March to April that it became hard to see the digital number on the channel from the couch. When I went to get my license renewed I failed the eye test, so went to eye doctor and got glasses for seeing farther- really helps for seeing TV channels , reading words and seeing down the hallway.
However, I cannot read with them on and only need for seeing across the room. It really is aggravating to have to take them on and off constantly. I did ask eye doctor and he asked if Iâd had any blood test lately- I told him I get one every 6 months to renew blood pressure medication.
I am 47 and know that I should be losing sight for up-close soon and Iâd hate to try to get glasses (expense) when it should come soon- reading glasses would be cheap. My question I guess is —-is it common to have sight turn this quick? Is there an economical way I could help- would eye surgery be an option? I live in a very rural area!
You are experiencing a condition known as presbyopia. This typically occurs in life when individuals reach age 40 to 45. In some instances a person may not notice the blurred vision until slightly later, such as in your case at age 47.
The reason we lose our ability to see images clearly up close is due to a physiologic and mechanical change to the crystalline lens in the eye. The lens continuously accumulates cells around the outermost layer and gradually becomes thicker. This thicker lens is much less flexible than the lens when we are younger. This flexibility is needed to change focus from distance to near.
In your case you have a "built in" bifocal in that things are naturally in focus for you at near but blurry in the distance. However, when you wear the distance glasses it becomes much harder to see up close.
Really the only way to correct this issue without putting-on and taking-off your glasses is to purchase a pair of bifocals or progressive (no-line) lenses. I do realize that it is an expense but surgery will unfortunately not fully solve your problem, and readers will leave you in the position of switching glasses.
As an aside, the reason the doctor asked you about a blood test was in relation to diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes can affect the thickness of the lens and therefore alter the prescription. Since it sounds as though you are not diabetic, it is therefore unlikely that this caused the rapid change.
I hope that this helps.

It would make for the ultimate video watch, but Sony's targeted its new 0.7-inch ECX332A OLED microdisplay at micro four third cameras, providing a crisp, high res view of what's in frame through an electronic viewfinder.
The miniscule display manages to squeeze in a resolution 1280x720, perfect for photographers who've also come to rely on their cameras for high-def video work. And for the discerning videographer, it offers 97 percent color gamut, 0.01ms response time, 200 cd/m2 brightness and uses the same white OLED and color-filter technology as the smaller, 0.5-inch ECX331A display (pictured on the left) which is currently employed in their A77/A65 DSLRS and their NEX-7 and NEX-5N cameras. Certainly useful applications, but disappointing for all of us Dick Tracy wannabes. [OLED-Info via SlashGear]

Kips Bay Show House 2012
The 40th Annual Kips Bay Show House recently opened in New York, which allows us the opportunity to take a peek at what A-list designers are up to and perhaps spot a few trends.
Whereas Kips usually secures a townhouse on the Upper East Side for the event, this year there was no townhouse for the taking and a bright new condo was used instead. This forced an element of contemporary architecture into the mix.
Trendsetters will notice a few fads that persist and inspire — lacquered walls, wallpapered ceilings, pattern on pattern and bespoke textured walls. But the purposes of color analysis, one thing stood out for me: green.
And I mean all manner of green. Chartreuse, Spring Pea, Moss, Green Slate and Emerald were all used either as stand-alone elements or in combination with other colors like Aubergine or Coral. I don't remember any of this from my color forecasting of last winter, so perhaps I'm behind the curve, though I'm delighted with the range in tone and mood it creates.

March 15, 2006
Wabash College President Andrew T. Ford is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Gary A. Phillips as Dean of the College effective July 1. Phillips is currently Professor of Religion and Chair of the Religion Department at The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee.
"We conducted a national search for the Dean of the College position, and we were pleased at the breadth and depth of the candidate pool. It was really quite remarkable. Even in that company," Ford commented, "Dr. Phillips stood out."
Dr. Phillips is a 1971 magna cum laude graduate of Lynchburg College and graduated from the Vanderbilt Divinity School, also magna cum laude. After studying for a year in Paris, he returned to Vanderbilt to earn his Ph.D. with highest distinction in New Testament Studies with a focus on linguistics.
Dr. Phillips will succeed Dean Raymond B. Williams, who has served as Dean of the College during the 2005-2006 academic year. The Dean of the College is Wabash's chief academic officer responsible for leading the faculty, as well as supervision of information technology, international studies, Lilly Library, and Wabash's Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts and Wabash Center for Teaching and Learning in Theology and Religion.
"Wabash College honors me in asking me to serve as its next Dean of the College," said Phillips. "I am energized by the collegiality, the sense of community, the commitment to liberal arts education, the care it gives to the young men who come to be part of the Wabash community. Alice and I can't wait to get settled in and begin this new chapter of our lives."
Beginning in 1979, Dr. Phillips spent 19 years on the faculty at the College of the Holy Cross, where he taught Religious Studies. He held a range of administrative appointments at Holy Cross, including directing the First Year Program, the Office of Grants and Research, and the Interdisciplinary Studies Program. He also chaired the Faculty Compensation Committee.
In 1998, Dr. Phillips was named to his current post at Sewanee, where in addition to chairing his department, he also directs the First Year Program and chairs the Faculty Budget Priorities Committee.
Dr. Phillips has written or edited six books primarily on the topic of linguistics and the ethical reading of the Bible. He is presently working on another four book projects as editor, co-editor, or author. In addition, Dr. Phillips has written dozens of book chapters and journal articles, translations, and book reviews. He has received individual grants or procured grant funding for his institutions from Lilly Endowment Inc., the Mellon Foundation, the American Academy of Religion, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Science Foundation, Pew Memorial Trust, and the Dana Foundation.
Dr. Patrick E. White, who will become Wabash's 15th president on July 1, assisted in the search for Phillips.
"Gary Phillips brings a deep passion for the liberal arts and a commitment to leadership grounded in reasoned discourse and a listening heart," said Dr. White. "I was happy to spend a good amount of time with him in the careful process of review established by President Ford and the very strong search committee. Throughout Gary evidenced a high regard for the excellence of the Wabash faculty; the drive, seriousness, and work ethic of the men of Wabash; and the promise for even greater achievement ahead. I very much look forward to working with Dr. Phillips in service of the highest aspirations of Wabash College."
Dr. Phillips has been visiting professor at the Drew Theological School and visiting scholar at the University of Toronto, Vanderbilt University, and in Urbino, Italy. He has served as associate editor of Religious Studies Review, Journal for New Testament Studies, and Semeia. He was a member of an American Academy of Religion steering committee on Academic Teaching and the Study of Religion. Dr. Phillips also has held summer fellowships at Yale University, Brown University, and the College of the Holy Cross.
In addition to his wide range of teaching and scholarly achievements, Dr. Phillips has done extensive work evaluating and reviewing curricula, academic programs, and faculty development for more than a dozen colleges and universities.
Dr. Phillips is a member of the American Academy of Religion, the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies, the Catholic Biblical Association, the International Bonhoeffer Society, the Society of Biblical Literature, and the Society for Values in Higher Education.
Dr. Phillips and his wife, Alice, have three grown children: Jessica Rohlfing, Brooke Phillips, and Benjamin Phillips. Alice is presently a sixth grade teacher with the Sewanee Public Elementary School.
Wabash College is a private liberal arts college for men located in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Founded in 1832, its mission is to educate men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely.

2014 "Cheap" Truck Roundup: Less Is MorePosted in News on December 20, 2013
Are the days of the short bed, standard cab V8 full size truck with a minimal trim package nearly gone? While it may be presumptuous to assume "yes" to this question, it is becoming more and more difficult to get that ideal "stripped truck" perfect for customizing and off-roading. This truck, which used to be the norm and would have had an abundant presence on dealership lots in the late 80s and 90s, has become more of a needle in the haystack as manufacturers increase trim packages and "up" the standard and available luxury options. Ram, for example, has eleven model (or trim) options, from the Tradesman work truck to the luxurious Laramie Limited. Chevy has seven, and Ford has ten (including the Raptor). If the window sticker didn't tell us, who would know where one trim ends, and another begins? Not to mention modification of trim packages! Remember when air conditioning and automatic transmissions were considered optional? Today, unlike the 90s, you can't even get a half ton truck with a manual transmission. Trucks have come a long, long way since those days that we remember so well.
The customizers' dream truck is out there, but the demand for the well-dressed, bells-and-whistles pickup over the basic, uncomplicated truck means you might have to search more diligently than you imagined. Generally speaking, more engine (V8) gets you "more" truck. That's what most customers now demand. After all, those heated heats are definitely enticing. Finding "less" truck – a stripped truck – with "more" engine seems counterintuitive to the general consumer and thus, we see less demand. Case in point: a brand new standard cab short bed V8 "stripped" Chevy Silverado had to be shipped from Arizona to California back in January 2007, making it the first truck of that configuration in the state. You'd think it was rocket science for a customizer to get his hands on the ideal, basic truck! Ironic, indeed. Perhaps the saying is true – sometimes less is more. Since that was nearly seven years ago, we decided to find out what kind of base model, V8 "strip" truck we could build for 2014 model year full size pickup trucks, from the manufacturers' websites.
The starting MSRP for the 2014 Ram 1500 is $24,385 for a Tradesman 4x2 Regular Cab 6'4" bed truck. Luckily there's an option to delete the spray in bedliner to save $325. The standard powertrain for the Tradesman is the 3.6-liter V6 with the 8-Speed TorqueFlite 845RE and 3.21 rear axle ratio. We can actually save $640 by de-selecting this standard option and selecting the 5.7-liter V8 HEMI ($1,150) with the 6-speed auto trans (-$1,840) and 3.92 rear axle ratio ($50). (The build tool prevents selecting incompatible options.) Overall, our powertrain and bed liner delete saved us $965 over MSRP, bringing our total for a brand new 2014 Ram 1500 Hemi to $23,420. Adding 4 wheel drive to our Tradesman 5.7-liter HEMI added $3760 and brought the total to $27,180.
The 2014 Silverado starts at $25,575 for the 2WD Regular Cab, Standard Box 1WT , which features the 4.3L EcoTec3 V-6, 6-speed automatic. This trim should include power door locks and available power windows. Upgrading to the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine ($1,095) brought the total to $26,670. Adding on 4WD (equivalent to $2,845) in addition to the V8 brought the grand total of the 1WT work truck to $30,610.
The 2014 Ford F-150 XL has a starting MSRP of $24,445 for a Regular Cab, 6-1/2' bed, 4x2, 3.7L V6, 6-speed automatic transmission truck. Adding the 5.0L V8 FFV Engine added $1,000 to our XL build and brought it to $25,445.( In order to get the 6.2L, we'd have to at least have an XLT SuperCab.) Adding 4 wheel drive to our 5.0L XL added $4640 and brought the total to $30,085.
The 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 regular cab, standard box 2WD truck with the 4.3L EcoTec3 V6 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission starts at $26,075. Upgrading to the 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine ($1,095) brought the total to $27,170. Adding on 4WD (equivalent to $3,940) in addition to the V8 brought the grand total of the Sierra truck to $31,110.
The 4x2 standard bed 2014 Nissan Titan S King Cab with the 317 hp, 385 lb-ft of torque 5.6L V-8 started with a base price of $29,270. Opting for a 4x4 brought our price tag to $32,120.
A 2014 Toyota Tundra starts at $25,920 for a Regular Cab 4x2 Long Bed with the 4.0L V6 mated to a 5-speed automatic. The system wouldn't let us select a 4x4 in this exact configuration, or the 5.7L V8. We could get the 4x4 4.6L V8 in the SR double cab for $30,905. In order to get the 5.7L V8, we'll need to select the SR5 with a total of $30,965. The 4x4 version comes in at $34,015.
Of these "virtual builds" that we did, the best choice – the best bang for the buck - seems to be the Ram 1500 with the HEMI. Plenty capable on and off road, it was the cheapest truck to build – cheaper than the other trucks not equipped with a V8.
While we may be able to build these configurations from the computer, the real challenge is in finding them on a dealership lot. We could theoretically build them, but that doesn't indicate how many are actually configured that way. Depending on where you are, this may or may not be a difficult task. It is possible that a slightly higher trim could be more readily available and comparable in price. Of course, deals and discounts could play a role in your decision as well.
Brace yourself for the sticker shock of today's "cheap" new truck. Welcome to 2014.

A Beijing woman's breast implant burst after she spent four hours lying on her stomach playing a game on her cell phone.
The woman was taken to the hospital for treatment. Doctors say poor quality of the material used in the implants, combined with excessive pressure, caused them to rupture.
A study by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery says China ranks 3rd in the world for plastic surgery; 1.05 million went under the knife in 2011. In 2011, the US led the world in cosmetic surgeries with 3.11 million people undergoing alterations in 2011.
The rise of plastic surgery in China has caused much more than health problems. Last year, a man divorced and sued his wife after she gave birth to what he called an "incredibly ugly baby." The man was unaware that his wife had undergone plastic surgery before they met. The wife was found guilty and was ordered to pay the man over $700,000 for the damages caused according to the court.
There are nearly 20,000 botched plastic surgery operations in China every year. A report says that there is so much demand for illegitimate operations throughout the country that illegal clinics are believed to outnumber legal practices four to one.
The low quality of the woman's implants suggests that she possibly visited one of the illegal clinics.
There is no report of whether she won the game.

The Gowanus Canal is full of contradictions. If you take a look at the canal, which lies between Carroll Gardens and Park Slope in Brooklyn, you might see dirty black tires and plastic lawn chairs floating in the water. If you take a sniff, you might smell a hint of gutter stench.
But you will also admire the beautiful white flowers growing along the banks. You may notice the natural, fresh aroma of the nearby plant nursery, and see the garden with its appealing birdhouses. They are all struggling to make the message loud and clear: The Gowanus Canal may be a polluted waterway, but it is nevertheless a place where biodiversity is cherished, and the future is valued.
That hasn't always been the case. Before it was turned into a canal in the 1860s, Gowanus was a creek fed by small streams. It was a healthy place where the water flowed naturally and plants grew. However, once people turned it into a canal and urbanized the surrounding area, it became a smelly, stagnant body of water. Then it became a dumping ground for industrial waste. It got so bad that the New York Times recently described it as "a fetid stew of dangerous chemicals and toxins, an embodiment of the worst excesses of the industrial age."
Hans Hesselein, a landscape architect who works for the Gowanus Canal Conservancy, said that most of the pollutants in the canal "are the waste from three former manufactured gas plants that once created municipal gas along the canal's banks." The manufactured gas plants produced a byproduct called coal tar, which they dumped directly into the canal. The coal tar contaminated the water and made it toxic to aquatic life. It's also bad for people: Coal tar can cause cancer in humans if we come into contact with large amounts of it.
For decades, no one did anything about the pollution. But in March 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency designated the canal a Superfund site. The EPA's Superfund program is tasked with cleaning up the nation's abandoned and dangerous waste sites. The program has been protecting people and cleaning up pollution at the worst sites for the past three decades. Currently, according to the EPA website, there are more than 40,000 Superfund sites in the U.S., but only 1,000 have been chosen as priority cleanup sites. The Gowanus Canal is one of them.
The Superfund process is quite complicated. Right now, the EPA's main concern is to identify the companies that dumped pollutants into the canal, and make those companies pay the bill for the clean-up. Then there are several other steps.
"The feasibility study should take a year, the design strategy should take about a year or two, and [actually getting] the job done should take about eight years," Hesselein explained. One part of the process is dredging the canal, which means removing sediment and pollutants through the process of scooping and suction. In all, it may take 12 to15 years and $500 million to clean up the water.
Unfortunately, industrial pollution isn't the only problem. When terrible rainstorms occur, the city's sewage system gets overwhelmed and ends up overflowing into the canal. Hesselein described seeing—and smelling—that happen one day last summer: "It was the most utterly disgusting and one of the strongest smells I've ever experienced, but also the most remarkable thing I've ever seen," he said. It looked like a volcano was erupting under water and the canal turned pitch black. Floating objects spewed out of the water and the tide reversed course. The city is working on the problem of sewage in the canal, while the EPA focuses on cleaning out the industrial pollutants.
The fate of the Gowanus Canal depends on the success of the EPA's clean-up, but also on what the citizens of New York do to make it a healthier area. "When people think about the Gowanus Canal, they think it is whatever the opposite of a healthy ecosystem is…but it can be a robust ecosystem," Hesselein said. That's where community groups like the Gowanus Canal Conservancy come in.
The Gowanus Canal Conservancy's major goal is to reintroduce wildlife to create more biodiversity along the canal. Just last summer, the conservancy began planting gardens on the banks of the canal, and building birdhouses to attract different species of birds. (No birds have moved in yet, though.)
The conservancy has also organized clean-up days so community members can help pick up trash around the canal. Other local groups have initiated art projects to beautify the area. For instance, Brooklyn artist Anthony Clune has encouraged the clean-up by painting a big, pink sign that shows a jaunty octopus and reads "Super Fun Super Fund."
It's not just Brooklyn residents who should be thinking about water pollution. "The citizens of New York City can do a lot to help enhance their local waterways," Hesselein said. "First, they have to realize that anything they flush down the toilet or throw into the street is probably going to be washed into the Gowanus Canal, Hudson River, East River, or any of the other receiving bodies of water surrounding the city, during most rain events. Pick up trash, refrain from littering, and do not dispose of toxic substances down the drain," he added.
The future of the canal remains uncertain; will it be viewed as a place full of hope and promise, or will it continue to be seen as a disgusting and hazardous site? If the government follows through on its promise to remove the pollutants—and stops companies from polluting further—it might just become a success story.
