- FOR: - news - accessories Pomellato 67 Brings High Jewelry Back Down to Earth I love clothes, I love accessories, but I'm not one to spend on fine jewelry. The fanciest thing I wear is my wedding ring, which is vintage, demure and cost way less than three months of my husband's salary. Buying diamonds is just not something that interests me—I'd much rather put that money towards a mortgage or—more realistically—a Celine bag. But over the past few years, I've learned to appreciate the beauty of Pomellato, whose collections are sleek and sturdy—in the chicest way possible. The bracelets, for instance, carry real weight—it feels like you're wearing something extravagant—but they're fairly minimalist in style. (Maybe that's why Tilda Swinton is such a fitting campaign star.) Pomelatto 67—the latest collection from the brand, named after the year it was founded—makes it easier for women like me to invest in a bauble or two. Because it's made from sterling silver and marcasite, instead of gold and diamond, the pieces carry the same aesthetic at much more reasonable prices. A pair of Pomelatto 67 silver and quartz earrings, for instance, cost $1,045. A similar style made in rose gold and blue topaz are $4,500. Both pairs are a big financial commitment, but Pomelatto 67 gives us more options. Click through to shop the collection, currently available at Saks.com.

SWEET MINT COUSCOUS WITH SUMMER BERRIES AND BASIL SUGAR RECIPE Summer is definitely here now, hot days and when I go out in the middle of the day, there’s no one around. I’m sure I said this before but this is Italy at its most Italy to me. The really white light (and it is even stronger and whiter down south), the heat, the way people are in the summer, the whole atmosphere is the epitome of Italy in my mind. Talk about stereotyping a country’s image but I just can’t help it-it’s etched into my soul. (Or is it a mind I have. I can’t decide on that issue. ) And all the goodness of the summer produce is beginning to appear, fruit and vegetables of a completely different kind than the ones we have been eating lately and I feel just like I feel every time the season changes-how nice it is to be able to follow the year through what we eat. This summery dessert, my entry for this month’s HotM, is composed of a lot of flavours and is really very simple to make, you can serve it like I have presented it here or you can make it even simpler for you and let people compose it for themselves. I used raspberries and blueberries because I have been longing for that myself but that is obviously up to you, any berries or chopped fruit can be used. I flavoured the couscous with mint tea but even here you can play around with different flavours, I think mint is perfect in the summer because it makes me feel cooler than I am. And then we have the basil sugar, I love herb sugars and salts and they are the easiest thing in the world to make if you have a mixer or food processor so right now is the perfect time to whiz them up! SWEET MINT COUSCOUS WITH SUMMER BERRIES AND BASIL SUGAR 4 servings 150 ml/0,63 cup peppermint tea honey 150 ml/0,63 couscous of the more instant type (i.e. you add boiling liquid and let it swell for about 5 minutes) raspberries blueberries fresh basil sugar - Make the peppermint tea very strong and add as much honey you want. I suggest you make it quite sweet if you want the couscous to be sweet. - Bring the tea to boil and add the couscous, stir and leave it to soak. Fluff it up now and then with a fork and then leave it to get cold. - Mash raspberries, add honey to sweeten if needed. - Take a circle form and pack it with couscous to make the couscous cakes on the plates you are going to serve the dessert on. Put a layer of mashed raspberries on top of each couscous cake. - Top with the berries and sprinkle with basil sugar. - To make the basil sugar you take 30-40 fresh basil leaves with 200 ml/0,85 cup sugar in a mixer until the sugar is green and the leaves have ‘disintegrated’. I spread it out to let it dry and then I put it in an airtight container and use it. Often. 2 Responses “Gobsmacked” is now one of my new favorite expressions! HA Ilva, what a brilliant dessert. I can’t wait to try this. whistler hotel deals [url=]price hotels [/url]chintzy gratis shoes staffordshire housing guest-house booking canada [url=]cheap hotels lake district [/url]detachment 8 cover eligibility guest-house deals taj hotel booking [url=]littre hotel [/url]budget-priced hotels motels joomla motor hotel booking vcu case [url=]hotel prices in canada [/url]saudi airlines online booking hotel booking affiliate fete abode conformity [url=]pensione hotel [/url]inn prices sanctuary accommodation association coles bay grant-in-aid [url=]cheap airport hotel [/url]littoral whore-house deals japan pension booking right budget-priced

Thank you all for your advice on my blanket - I decided to follow the majority opinion and go with the simple chain edge (which, if I'm honest, was exactly what I hoped people would say - I just didn't have the confidence to rip out all the scalloping without a bit of bloggy back-up) and very beautiful - if I'm allowed to say that myself? But there is still the messy job of sewing all the threads in to do - I imagine I will be working on it for quite some time. Now that I consider the blanket to be finished my thoughts naturally turned to what I wanted to crochet next and I lay in bed for ages last night thinking and thinking about colour choices. Because colour preference is a truly personal thing isn't it? When Julie blogged about her new crochet blanket project I was completely overwhelmed by her colour selection - I loved it and couldn't sleep one night for thinking about it - so I rushed to finish my blanket so I could start a new one in these gorgeous, rich, autumnal colours. Likewise, when I was reading Soulemama and seeing her knit with nubbly shades of brown, or reading Quinn's blog about her walnut hand-dyed sock yarn, I started craving some "brown" knitting of my own. But now I'm actually doing it, I have to confess that it really just isn't "Me" - it's just not colourful and "happy" enough to get me excited. These socks are rather over-bright and I was amused one night when I was working on them that I just couldn't have this quilt on my lap because it didn't go with my knitting! I like this quilt but they're just not my colours again - and they don't really "go" with the rest of my house. Therefore, much as I adore Julie's colour selection for her blanket, and really wish I was stylish enough to use them myself, I just have to accept that my natural palette is much brighter. So my nocturnal cogitations came up with the idea of "sea-glass" granny squares with the cream tile-like edging that Julie is putting on her blanket. I'm not sure I can afford to invest in the necessary wool but I am looking forward to Saturday morning's Knit and Natter at my local wool shop so I can look to see what colours are available. I'm thinking of something similar to Thomasina Tittlemouse's ripple blanket maybe. Now to the important part of the post - letting you know who is the winner of my mini giveaway......... I used a random number generator for numbers 1-20 and it chose 20, so Quinn, can you send me your address so I can send you a flower - do you have a colour preference (pink, red, turquoise or cream?) Thursday, 21 February 2013 13 comments: So when are you going to teach me how to crochet? Dottie xxxx You ARE allowed to call your own blanket beautiful because it really is and the palette oh so 'you'. I sometimes try to push myself out of my colour comfort zone, but it never ends well. I will never love beige or and shade of purple. But having seen it in real life, I can thoroughly endorse the gloriousness that is Mrs T T's ripple. I love your blanket, I love it, I love it! I have been wanting to make one but I just have to face the fact that I probably never will. I shall just look enviously at yours! I love your blanket!! Also your definition of "blog finished" which will surely come in handy in my future! ;) You are so right about the personal aspect of color preference. I thoroughly enjoy the brighter colors in your blanket and socks, and in brilliant flower gardens, and pottery, and in many of the fibery-blogs I visit (Attic24 comes to mind), but seem to feel more "at home" in muted shades and woodsy tones. One thing I've been meaning to do for ages is try knitting something with one strand of brown and one strand of a brighter color, held together. Maybe that would help you use up your brown yarn? Just a thought :) Whoops! I just read the rest of your post and realized I am the Lucky Winner! Thank you so much, Lucy - what a nice treat! Email coming... Have yet to blog and have just started knitting again and CANNOT crochet no matter how hard I try , but your blanket is beautiful . I knitted my daughter hand warmers today and ripped them out twice, once because they knitted up too small and the second time because I ran out of wool . Rather than buy more Aran wool I just made them shorter . Your blanket is stunning and I just love the colours! Your blanket is so beautiful!!!! Of course you can say it :))) I love your blanket Locket - the colours are gorgeous and it looks huge! My Flowers in the Snow blanket that I finished a couple of months ago is still in it's blog finished state with many ends still to sew in! I love the idea of seaglass colours for your next blanket. Can't wait to see it :o) I might have to go and dig out my granny stripe blanket again - you've given me the bug! For what it's worth I would have sad chain stitch edge. LOVE the finished blanket, I wish I could crochet then again I don't need another obsession. I struggle with colours so my house is a mish mash of more bright colours. House and Garden would never visit here LOL. What a gorgeous blanket :) It looks wonderful and the edging works perfectly. I'm a bit fickle when it comes to blanket making. I've taken ages to work on the two I have on the go!! I like those brown socks but can understand how they can be a little boring. OMG, just found you again, spent a happy half hour with a cuppa catching up, so pleased to find you again.... x OH.MY.GOSH. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that blanket! The colors are fantastic Lucy. It's BEAUTIFUL!!! Congratulations on such a fantastic project!!!

Thanks for sharing & have a rockin’ week. I’m so mad that I didn’t start Revenge in the beginning. Now I’m afraid to start it or do you think I’d pick it all up quickly? I am totally looking forward to watching Deception too! And I cannot wait for Scandal to come back January 10th! I don.t watch those shows.

The style, timing, and humor are so different from today’s shows. Old movies, mysteries, and romances- want more of these! I didn’t get to see revenge full. I’ve only seen one episode when she was training in the sea? and I haven’t even seen this one advertised. I did see 1600 Penn ad though. Pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.

Day ‘d. like the title but can I have an exe please, also are you using the pro version of game maker Also, a possible weapon idea, mind control thing, controls the robot for a while to destroy the enemy. Like the ideas behind this Tom! Personally i would go for priority of: Player Guidance Objective Balance Graphics Environment From a player point of view i always reckon knowing how to and having a definitive aim makes me much more likely to play in first place and also repeat to beat objective. Would have said Balance is all important but other 2 are a must as even if it is unblanaced if you can still understand and finish you have a game! What about “Through a Scanner Darkly”?

The scene at GroupLink, as with all North Point events, is kind of overwhelming. It's in the auditorium - which is ginormous - and it's set up as a sea of round tables. On each table, there's a sign for the type of group that will be convening there, e.g., "30's, Men, Dunwoody." Given the fact that my group - "20's, Women, Buckhead" - was by far the most representative slice of the Buckhead Church community, there were a million tables to choose from. So I just sat down at one. And that table became my small group. I have to be perfectly honest. I don't keep up with most girls that were in this group. However, they were exactly who I needed to be with during that year in Atlanta. They walked me through each step of my decision process in deciding to move to New York. They cried with me when it wasn't working. And they rejoiced with me when the pieces started falling into place. It was a sweet season. In this group - this random, Buckhead Church assigned small group - was a girl named Angie. We were merely acquaintances during that small group year in Atlanta, although looking back, I'm not sure why or how that was possible. But a week after I moved to New York, I got a call from her. She had decided to move to New York, too. (click to enlarge) Things didn't necessarily plan out the way Angie planned, but either way, she did move up in August. We started hanging out more, and, as Angie once put it, "we made it past the peripheral friend phase pretty much immediately." She joined me at Gallery Church. We started another small group, which truly anchored me during that first year in New York and got me through one of the hardest, saddest seasons of my life. Angie and I, along with Lauren, have had some of the most random, strangest, bizarre, wonderful adventures in this city. We got stranded in Hoboken together. We went to Atlantic City. We went on a free cruise together. One time, we did herkeys at a party just to see if we still had it. (We did.) We also do normal things like go to movies, eat Chilaquiles at El Centro, sing karaoke and watch terrible movies like "The Women" On Demand at Angie's apartment. Looking back, it's amazing to see God's providence. He knew I would need friends in New York, especially that first year, so he encouraged me to go to GroupLink alone. He directed me right to that random round "20's, Women, Buckhead" table (which I now know was not random at all). And he used Angie and I in each other's lives to get us to the city exactly when he wanted us here. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "I didn't find my friends; the good Lord gave them to me." Thank you, Lord, for giving me my friends. 6 comments: How did I not know this? I knew Angie was your friend in NY but I had no idea that you knew her in Atlanta - that is SO COOL!! I love reading these. Thumbs up El Centro. So glad you recommended it while we were in NYC. Of all the gifts life may bestow, none is so constant, steady, and sure as the tender heart of a friend. Also RWE. I am loving these posts! I love this post. It's so powerful and such a great example of how God works in the smallest ways in our everyday lives. Stuff we have NO idea is happening, but in retrospect it is so blatant. I just googled "herkeys" had no idea xoxo

The old bottle was bigger and the perfume was more concentrated. New bottle is smaller, not as concentrated, same price... What happened????" Shop with lushies Customer Reviews Questions & Answers Reviewed by 6 customers Sort by Pros - Sensual - Sexy Cons - Doesn't Hold Best Uses I first tried Icon when it was available in a bath powder (oh would you PLEASE make that available again?) The scent is very sexy and rich but not overpowering and it's just not like anything else. I find it addictive. The solid perfume at first doesn't smell like Icon but it dries down to the familiar scent. It's my favorite perfume on Earth and I hope you keep it forever. I was crushed when I ran out of powder and my perfume bottle. - When you survey your stash, you label this product: - Cult Classic - Fragrance Type: - Oriental/Spicy Pros - Dark - Great Smell - Not Overpowering - Sensual - Uplifting Cons Best Uses - Anytime - Daily Use - In the car - Morning I was really hesitant to purchase a perfume online before having smelled it, but when I got it, it was exactly what I had been looking for. Icon is a dark, smoky scent with a lingering orange glow. That's the only word I could use to describe it. It's not an overwhelming burst of Karma's orange, or the lemon of a Fizzbanger bath bomb. It's a glow of an orange tree in the breeze. It's not too sweet, it's not too bitter. It's just the perfect balance of light and dark. - When you survey your stash, you label this product: - Cult Classic - Fragrance Type: - Citrus/Fruity, Incense, Light, Smoky, Woody/Earthy Pros - Unisex Cons - Bottle design Best Uses - Going Out - Study aid I ordered an Icon sample in addition to perfume sampler. Icon turned out to be one of my favorites. I loved the combination of myrrh, bergamot,and sandalwood, but I did not enjoy the addition of orange blossom. Thankfully, the orange blossom fades quickly on my skin. I hope Lush makes this available in stores one day. - When you survey your stash, you label this product: - Guilty Pleasure Pros - Amazing patchouli Cons Best Uses I have bought this for years. It smells amazing. The old bottle was bigger and the perfume was more concentrated. New bottle is smaller, not as concentrated, same price... What happened???? - When you survey your stash, you label this product: - Must-Have Pros - Fantastic scent - Lasts long Cons - Bad capbottle design Best Uses - Anytime The only negative point I have about this product is the cap/bottle design. It leaks out if the bottle is not upright. Need to seal the cap better. Pros - Deep - Exotic - Mysterious - Romantic Cons Best Uses - Apply to wrists neck This is a very adult scent, but agreeable for those who are young with mature artistic tastes. This is a scent worth indulging in! - When you survey your stash, you label this product: - Cult Classic

hi judiadg, GREAT SUGGESTIONS for Santa Fe... you really do know the city well. I have been to all of the places you have recommended and I would second all of them other than the Coyote Cafe as it is not as good as it used to be. I loved that you mentioned Jackalope... it is such a scream to go there. I've been dropping in to see what's new every year for the past 20+ years and have watched it grow from a funky little place to an outrageously funky large place that carries just about anything you might ever need! And I love checking out the animals there and getting my ristras (chili wreaths). cmdavilacli - Join Date - Dec 2007 - 21 Thanks so much for your message. I've been lucky enough to work in Santa Fe twice for 3 months at a time so I lived in houses near Canyon Road and got to know the place very well, especially the galleries(my favorite Sunday afternoon stroll. My husband and I love it so much we plan to move there in the next few years. I'm so glad you reminded me about the ristras at Jackalope. I've got to get one for this year! Take care, Judi Visited Santa Fe in August '07............................Inn & Spa at Loretto was wonderful place to stay/eat/lounge etc. BUT the Most Fabulous Meal my husband and I have every eaten in entire lives (age 61 & 56) was at Geronimo. So wonderful in fact that upon returning home to Baltimore I wrote a personal letter directly to the chef complimenting him. A most memorable meal and experience. And best of all.....neither of us could ever tell you what we ate. It was all just so great! Would fly back there to eat dinner and fly right back home if we had a private plane!! Enjoy! - Join Date - Dec 2007 - 21 Dear Paularec, You're so right about Geronimo. This is the most elegant dining experience in Santa Fe. The food is perfect and the service is impeccable. It's a splurge worth every penny. Their cookbook is very well done and a lovely remembrance to have of this beautiful restaurant. - Join Date - Jan 2008 - 74 IN Santa Fe they value local, seasonal, authentic foods and culinary traditions.Try butternut squash soup with herbed cheese dumplings, or cider braised pork shoulder with apples and caramilized onion. Those are my 2 favorite local food available in Santa Fe. Thanks for your response. I always try to eat the local foods whenever and wherever I travel. That's one of the great things about traveling. What's the point of eating the same food when you're away as when you're at home? Thanks for the tip. Thank you to all who offered tips about what we should see, do and eat in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Taos! We're heading out tomorrow morning and I can't wait to tuck into some blue corn enchiladas with Christmas sauce while sipping a margarita.

March 3: 2011 Economic Forum The 2011 Economic Forum at Lynchburg College featured keynote speaker John Shea, PhD, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Macroeconomic Analysis in the Office of Economic Policy in the US Department of the Treasury. The forum, held on Thursday, March 3 in Sydnor Performance Hall, was hosted by Lynchburg College and the Lynchburg Regional Chamber of Commerce. According to Dr. Shea, economic recovery is not likely to be negatively impacted by inflation. The Treasury economist told Lynchburg business leaders that gas prices aren't likely to inflate the core cost of living because labor costs remain low. Dr. Shea received his PhD in economics from MIT. He teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in macroeconomics, money and banking at the University of Maryland. work has been published in leading journals including The Quarterly Journal of Economics, The American Economic Review, the Journal of Public Economics, and the Journal of Money, Credit and Banking. Also featured was a regional economic forecast by Dr. Joe Turek, Dean of the School of Business and Economics at Lynchburg College, who provided a clearer understanding of regional economic data and trends.

Puzzle Page | Tri-Futoshiki This puzzle is published in the June/July 2012 issue of MAA FOCUS. Instructions: In each of the following three grids, place numbers from 1 to 5 into the squares (one number per square) so that no row or column contains a repeated number, and the given inequality symbols between pairs of adjacent numbers are satisfied. In addition, squares in the same position in different grids must contain different numbers. A Futoshiki is a Latin square completion puzzle with greater-than constraints (like any one of the three grids above, although unlike a typical Futoshiki, none of these three can be solved independently). Since Sudoku became popular, mathematicians and puzzlers have been interested in minimal Sudoku puzzles with as few clues as possible. A similar study for Futoshiki, where clues can be either numbers or inequalities, leads to many interesting open questions. More examples of Futoshiki can easily be found by searching the web; for a more mathematical perspective, slides from my Futoshiki talk at this year's Joint Meetings are posted at: tinyurl.com/katz-futoshiki.

Letter from an alumna in response to the survey I recently received a survey in the mail from the St. Peter's College math dept. It seemed very focused on teaching and so although I answered the questions, I really didn't think that they reflected my experience with the math department and how it has benefited me, so I thought that I would send you a quick note in addition to the survey. I was a double major in Accounting and Math, but I chose to follow the accounting path for my career. However, when I returned to school for my MBA, my math background was invaluable in understanding a lot of the finance concepts, especially in areas such as options, financial derivatives, and fixed income securities. Especially helpful were differential calculus and statistics, which are essential to understanding the financial models. In addition, just having a background in math helps a great deal in my job, where I work in a Strategic group as a financial analyst. Although computers are used for most of the analysis, having a knowledge of the basic math concepts that are being applied gives me a deeper understanding and makes me a lot more effective in decision making and in explaining the results we get from a PC. Just wanted to take a chance to let you know how valuable my math degree has been to me, even in a financial/accounting position.

Lighting 101 By the 1930's Hollywood had already perfected the most "beautiful" way to light someone. The formula used three lights: a key, a fill & a backlight. The key is the main frontal light. It is as big as possible and as soft and diffuse as possible. If you want your film to look like a Rembrandt, you're going to want a huge key to gently wrap your subject in light. One way to make a huge, diffuse key is to pass it through a large white linen sheet placed in front of the light or, to avoid the risk of fire, to use large rolls of plastic gels that the professionals use. Ask for ROSCO 216. Another fast way to setup a soft, large key is to use a Chimera light -- basically a tent with a light inside. The fill is weaker additional frontal light that is used to give some illumination to the dark side of the face. It is therefore placed on the other side of the camera. More...

Frank Reeves, who was arrested in December for the fatal shooting of Jones County woman at a Gray Highway gas station, was released from the Bibb County jail just before 9:30 p.m. Tuesday night on $110,200 bond, according to the Bibb County jail website. A Bibb County Superior Court judge granted a bond amount for Reeves last week, according to his attorney, Veronica Brinson.

Apple confirms Steve Jobs keynote for WWDC 2010 You might think that this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference will be low on surprises, what with the whole iPhone prototype affair, but one thing you can count on? Steve Jobs taking the stage on to give his customary keynote. Apple announced on Monday that the CEO will be kicking off WWDC 2010 on June 7, with a presentation at 10 a.m. Pacific time in San Francisco’s Moscone West conference center. What he’ll be talking about? The iPhone and iPad would be a pretty good guess. What he'll be wearing? Bet on the classic turtleneck, jeans, and sneakers. Will he mention the Mac? Well, that may have to wait until next year. Then again, maybe he’ll just get up there to read a selection of his favorite e-mails from the last six months. There was a time not so long ago when some thought the age of the Jobs keynote had faded into the sunset. It’s good to see that the man is back with a vengeance. Don’t forget to join Macworld for live blow-by-blow coverage of the Jobs keynote on Monday, June 7.

Excerpt from “The Sin Eater” (previously published in GW Review, and by Corvid Press, Beverly, 2004) The next week you grill a flank steak. There are roasted potato wedges, soft inside and crisp outside. There’s fresh asparagus and hollandaise, a bottle of merlot. Grilling the steak, you remembered cooking with your wife, how she used to sit on the kitchen stool and watch you, read to you, how she loved the way you cooked. She would close her eyes over a pot on the stove and inhale, saying, I would die for your cooking. When the Sin Eater knocks, you are as nervous as the first time. When you open the door you have to stop yourself from gasping. She looks terrible. Her eyes are bloodshot, there are purplish bags underneath them. She looks thin and her hair, very straight, has escaped the bun in several places and hangs next to her face in dim strands. “Oh.” You can’t think of anything else to say. She waits for you to let her in. You step back and when she goes past, you can smell her, slightly sour and unwashed. “Meat,” she says, and breathes deeply. She sets her purse on the hall table and walks into the kitchen. She sits down in the same seat as before. Her shoulders are hunched around her neck. There is a glass of wine already poured for her and she sips it, wrinkling her nose. You say, “Look, if this is not a good time for you. . .” She laughs sharply, that strange bony laugh. “You can’t expect me to look good on a job, now can you?” You blink at her. She means you. She means your sins. “Maybe you ought to explain this to me.” You put your hands on the counter that sits between you and the table. “How does this work? Am I making you sick? How long do you have to feel bad before we’re done?” She stares at you, her eyes shiny black buttons, expressionless. “You should see me after some of my other clients, if you think this is bad.” She opens her mouth and belches. She excuses herself indifferently and says, “I’ll eat now.” “But,” you say, “I don’t like being responsible. . .” She cuts you off with a high snort of laughter. You are miffed. You set about filling a plate for her. The meat is cooked just right, the hollandaise is yellow and rich over the asparagus. When you get to the table you realize she has emptied her glass. You frown, retrieve the bottle and refill her glass. You set the bottle on the table. She is after the plate like a starving dog. You can hear her breathing heavily over the food. A piece of meat, too large, slaps her chin as she tries to get it all in her mouth. You wish she would stop making your beautiful meal look like slop as she shoves it in. Suddenly she says, “So many lies,” and her voice is distinctly sad. The hair on your arms rises up. She drinks from her glass, gulping at it until it is empty. As if you are being boiled you can see them frothing forth, all the lies you’ve told: to your wife, to your boss, to your friends. You didn’t mean to lie about your marriage. You thought, sometimes, I’m probably not in love anymore, but then you would lie, you had to. Your own body grew tired of the waiting, it rose of its own accord. Sometimes your body would stir when your lover simply looked at you, even before you were lovers. It wasn’t you, not your mind or your heart, it was your body that took over, that took care of things. It was time for your marriage to end. Your body knew it. The Sin Eater picks up the potato wedges, one at a time on her fork. She puts each one into her mouth, eyes closed, and chews. Standing on a bank high above the river, your lover was wrapped in a blanket she kept in her car for picnics. The sky was dark with an oncoming storm. You could see two tiny pictures of yourself reflected in her eyes. You looked like a grown man, a kind man. She folded herself into your arms and you felt how she trusted you. How you felt trustworthy, even though every hour you spent together was stained with lies to someone else. The Sin Eater nibbles the skin off the tip of a wedge, working it with her lips like a rodent. Everything you had was fine. You had a serviceable life. Even as you think it, the word “serviceable” makes you dizzy.

kcwc sew-off day 2: sew a mini-washi How could I not make a miniature version out of the washi tape fabric, I ask you? And guess what? She loves it. Will try to get photos of it on her this afternoon when she gets home from preschool. I know it’s a little insane to make matching mother-daughter dresses, but I just had to. Can’t explain. {If you’re new here, this is a miniaturized version of my Washi Dress} The fabric is called “Washi” (designed by Rashida Coleman-Hale), because it features washi tape, hence the name of the fabric/dress} Meanwhile, you absolutely MUST check out Kristin’s mini “fireworks” Washi — she made the most adorable version in Anna Maria Horner’s Innocent Crush fabric. Kristin’s mini-washi is a true purist version complete with shirring in the back, which is just lovely. The back of mine is a bit of a cheat, but no worries about getting it over Clementines huge head I guess. OH! and don’t miss Karen’s version over here, also featuring some lovely Anna Maria Horner fabric. Also: can you spot where I accidentally cut a big hole in the bodice and then patched it up? Oops. I just replaced my rotary cutter blade and it is dangerous, downright dangerous I tell you. UPDATE: You can see photos of this dress on the girl in this post and matching mother-daughter shots (ack. I know) right here. 30 You are so clever!!! I have no idea how to make patterns, would be a great skill to learn when I’m not a full time mother/midwifery student etc etc!! Time is not on my side right now I am taking solice in knitting & crochet instead because I can pick it up then dump it down again real quickly … omigosh i totally considered making mine in washi fabric too! i have the cream washi, but hadn’t pre-washed it and didn’t have time to wait. and then i checked to see if i had enough of the charcoal washi left, but i didn’t. how funny would THAT have been?! maybe for mini washi 2… really love your version, though – so smart to add the neck closure for a littler gal! i’m getting a major kick out of our sew off! that would have been hilarious if we had both made them with the tapes — I knew you had the grey from your clever charlotte top, so I wondered… DO IT!!! This is so cute! Love that it’s in matching fabric too Yeah! You even did it in the Washi fabric – I love that!!! rae, you kill me. your projects are always so freaking adorable! i’m inspired to sit down at the machine again. i miss sewing. DO. IT! I haven’t even gotten around to making my Washi yet, but now I need to make a Wittle Washi. I hope I have enough fabric for both. wittle washi. oh dear, I wuv that. Unfortunately for my girls, I am not as skilled. Hence, if you ever release this for girls (up to sz 12…please) you will have at least one purchaser Make that two purchasers. I love this so much. I see a Washi in Yuki’s future and maybe even in charcoal Washi fabric (but you know, I see a lot of things in my future). Oh and I’m with Kristin (on IG) – mother-daughter washi dress photo shoot could clinch the win for you this round! Omigosh are you kidding me? This is rediculously cute. Seriously, your patterns and blog are my favorite. I would pretty much buy any pattern you put out. Yours and O+S patterns are my absolute must haves. You are so talented. Keep up the good work! You sure had to do it!! It’s adorable! Love your fabric! SO CUTE! OMG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come out with a Mini Washi pattern for sale! I have an online children’s boutique and I would just die to make this dress for little kiddos! :0) It’s seriously one of the cutest patterns ever. I love the other one made that was similar to the adults with the shirring in the back. If there was a way to keep the dress with a shirred back and just pull on over the head, that would be awesome….. but the buttons work too. Maybe even a cute cut out with just a little button and loop at the top would be adorable! :0) Oh I wish you had a pattern for kids!!! I would make a million of these for my girls. Love it. I would have also made matching dresses as I am like that too Love it! I know what you mean about feeling compelled to make matching or coordinating outfits…there is no way to articulate but sometimes you just have to do it! I aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalmost picked my charcoal for Ella, but it is for me. And I kinda figured you’d do a miniWashiWashi…. [...] Rae made hers in actual washi fabric, and had a different solution for the large head small child problem. here it is! [...] It’s so perfect. LOVE. [...] mini-washi. I had to do it. [...] Rae, I love you. ^_^ aw right backatcha girl OHMYGOSH!!! I love it love it love it. Will you be drawing up a pattern for those of us who are challenged and need a guide? I just had twin nieces born and would love to make them dresses! Also, I finally finished my very own washi and am so proud of myself. My first ever thing that wasn’t a square! YAY! Very cute! And super-clever patch job. SO CUTE! I love it! Please make a pattern for children! I would definitely buy it! I tend to make clothes only for my daughter and not myself because I don’t really know how to “fit” things. I would make this a million times for my daughter! [...] Dress was featured on on my blog in the following posts: Polkadot Dress (pictured above, far left) Mini-Washi (fourth from left; includes separate sleeves which have now been incorporated into the View B [...]

How To Change Front Sway Bar Bushings Your bushing has worn down and you need to know how change front sway bar bushings on your car. The sway bar bushings affects the control of your steering and makes a rattling noise on the front end of your car, especially when you hit bumps. When the sway bar bushing is worn down it can make your car be and feel unsafe. The sway bar bushing helps with the control of the car when leaning because the bar connects the right and left wheels together. That bar can get damaged or worn over time. With the right equipment you will be able to change the front sway bar bushings on your car. To change the front sway bar bushings you need: - Wrench set - 1/2-inch ratchet - 1/2-inch socket - Pry bar - New bushings - Jack - Jack stands - Safety goggles - Apply the emergency brake to your car. Make sure your vehicle is parked on a flat surface. Jack the front end of the car up. Place a jack stand in a secure place under the car. Allow enough space for you to lie underneath the car. - Locate the sway bar bushing. Follow the sway bar from behind the front tire to where it is mounted by a bracket. Depending on your car there can be components in the way of the sway bar. Move any components out of the way to have full access to the sway bar brackets. The brackets are mounted by a couple of bolts. - Remove the mounting bolt. Get all of your tools and bring them under the car with you. Put on your safety goggles. Look for the mounting bolt. More than likely it will be on the passenger side. Use your ratchet, socket and wrench to help you to remove the mounting bolt. - Remove the old bushing and replace the new bushing. Find a good leverage point by flipping up the bracket and sliding the bushing towards the wheel. Use the pry bar to pry the bushing off of the slotted opening. Once the old bushing is removed, place the new bushing onto the sway bar. Use the pry bar to help push the new pushing on the sway bar in place. Be patient because it can be quite difficult to remove and replace the bushing due to its making of rubber-coated steel. - Replace the bolts. Tightened the bolts with the ratchet, socket and wrench anyway you need them to assist you. Replace any components you needed to remove. Take off of your tools and jack stands out from underneath the car. Lower the car and remove the jack. Once you lower the hood and remove the emergency break you can enjoy your new, smooth ride.

He even promised to give half of his worldly riches when he passes on to charity. In honor of his dragon-like persona, Richard Mille introduces the RM057 Dragon-Jackie Chan Tourbillon. The star of this watch is the hand-engraved 18K gold dragon entwined in the tourbillon movement.

Critiques, Cravings and Conundrums From the Madison Food and Dining Scene Feb 17, 2013 01:02 PMSmall Dishes Duck Redux Living in Wisconsin in the early '60s, duck appeared more prominently on supper club menus. It would have been unthinkable to go to Ishnala and order anything other than the roast duck à la orange, or at The Duck Inn near Delavan. (Well, occasionally I would opt for the lobster tail Thermidor instead.) Moving here from Kentucky unveiled heretofore unknown delicacies such as summer sausage, fried lake perch, herring in sour cream and roast duck. I also have fond memories from the first time I went to Paris and enjoyed canard de barbarie aux petis pois—braised duck with peas. I’ve always liked duck. By the time I returned to Wisconsin in the late '70s, for whatever reason, duck seemed to have fallen out of favor. I’m not sure why, but then most restaurant menus seemed to be suffering from a bad case of the blahs. But the globalization of food soon launched the never-ending culinary quest for the new and different. The consumption of duck has increased by 21 percent since 1996. Today, Wisconsin and Indiana lead the nation in duck farming. There are many species of duck, wild and domestic, and for a long time the most commonly raised commercially was the Pekin, sometimes called “Long Island” duck despite its Chinese origins. Also popular is the Muscovy, a large breed originally native to Latin America. One of the oddest is the Runner, a lanky duck that took on the role of Ferdinand in the movie Babe. Duck—roasted whole, breast grilled, confit and rendered fat—once again stars on many menus around the area, and a welcome addition it is. Cooking in duck fat adds a unique richness. At A Pig in a Fur Coat the duck fat fries served with aioli are addictive and worth every single calorie. Sardine serves a modern version of the old favorite, duck à la orange, that’s paired with a creamy celeriac and potato purée and crunchy baby bok choy. Pickled plums, crisp frisee and aromatic fennel dress up a duck confit—a French specialty where the leg is preserved in salt—at Harvest. It may be mostly about beef, but at Tornado Steakhouse the sautéed duck breast served medium rare with a pan reduction sauce of port wine and currants is sure to satisfy any carnivore. For almost three decades Imperial Garden in Middleton has wooed diners with its extensive selection of Chinese specialties, including the classic Peking duck served in three courses. After 60 years, duck is still on the menu at Ishnala and served as it always has been, roasted with sage stuffing and glazed with orange sauce. Owners have come and gone at The Duck Inn and alas the lobster Thermidor is no more, but duck comes five ways, including “drunken” duck breast marinated in Gray’s Rathskeller Amber Ale. RECIPE: Caramelized Sweet Onion and Duck Quesadillas 2 whole boneless skinless duck breasts 1 lime, juiced 1 cup sour cream salt and pepper 1/2 tablespoon canola oil 1 cup barbeque sauce 8 flour tortillas, buttered on one side 1 sweet onion, sliced thin and sautéed to golden brown 1 ripe mango, peeled, seeded, and cut into thin strips 1 roasted Poblano chili, peeled, seeded, and cut into thin strips 1 small red onion, cut into thin rings and grilled 1 cup grated pepper Jack cheese 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro Garnish: 4 sprigs fresh cilantro In a small bowl add fresh lime juice to sour cream and stir. Season with salt, to taste, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Preheat oven to 350 degrees., buttered-side down, on a clean cutting board. Divide the duck mixture among the tortillas. Sprinkle the sautéed onion, mango, Poblano chili, red onion, cheese and cilantro evenly over the duck. Top each with the remaining tortillas, buttered side up. Bring a large sauté pan or griddle to medium heat. Place 1 tortilla stack in the pan or griddle and cook until golden brown or about 3 minutes. Using a spatula, flip tortilla over to cook the other side. Remove from pan and place on cutting board and cut into 6 wedges. Place on a warm plate and dab lime sour cream on each wedge and garnish with a cilantro sprig. Repeat with the remaining tortilla stacks. Serves 4.

Username or Email At the end of this post is a link to an image of what I want a global template to do I’m going to need lots of help to make it happen If anyone can offer guidance, it would be greatly appreciated my biggest concerns are putting everything into 1 global css file, making the left navigation work, and calling things in the middle. The rest is cake. (i’ve read the design guide, and it didn’t help much, if at all, so please don’t just point me in its direction) my preferred host: what do you mean it didnt help at all? as in you couldn’t comprehend it or the stuff you’re trying to do somehow isn’t covered by it? from a quick glance at what you’re trying to do, it should most definitely be covered by the design guide. stevelam.ca | xpattern.net a few ways the design guide didnt help: -its talking about templates, layouts, styles. all i want is 1 file that defines everything. -then it says whenever you need something, this is how you load it. that doesn’t tell me where the thing to load is, and the template path hint only shows what is currently in the theme, not a complete list. i have no clue where some stuff is or what links to what, what images are loaded, what item is using which style, where that stylesheet is, etc. for example, if you want to change the font style that says “newsletter,” i have no clue where to find how to change that. if there is a background image in one of the table cells, where did it come from / what is its name? -everything seems to be relative to their default layouts of 1-3 columns, none of which work as i want (the example walkthrough shows how to move something from right to left, which is fine, if you don’t want it at the bottom) Thank you for subscribingPlease check your email for a confirmation.

Jain Mutt The Event Photo Gallery CHAMUNDARAYA AND SHRAVANABELAGOLA HERITAGE OF SHRAVANABELAGOLA > CHAMUNDARAYA AND SHRAVANABELAGOLA Chamundaraya1, the minister of the Gangas, has carved an indelible record in the glorious history of Shravanabelagola. He was a politician, commander-in-chief, religious patron and generic writer who enriched the culture of the place and Karnataka. He played an important role in the history of Shravanabelagola. It is said that he hailed from the southern part of Madurai. His mother Kalaladevi was instrumental in all his religious contributions to the land. His wife Ajithadevi, son Jinadevanna, sister Pulavvae and brother Nagaverma proved to be the earnest devotees of Jina and adorned Gangas. He was born probably in A.D. 940. The guidance of Acharya Simhanandi stood as the rock stone in his achievements and moulded the personality. The association of Chavundaraya with Marasimha III has blended together in a harmonious way. Chavundaraya was a Brahmakshatriya by inheritance. His grandfather Govindamayyiah laid the foundation of religious fervour. Govindamayyiah and his younger brother Ishwaraiah lived together like Bhima and Arjuna and served under Marasimha. Mahabalaiah, the father of Chamundaraya was known for his generosity, ability and virtuosity. Chavundaraya fought for Marasimha and defeated Chaladanka Ganga and also Madurachayya. He fought bravely against Nolambas and supported Marasimha. He was called Veramarthanda due to his valour and bravery. He also defeated Rajaditya and Vajvala. He developed interest in the Jaina religion by studying the works of Acharya Jiansena and Acharya Gunabadhra. He propagated Jainism through his meritorious works. He was a prolific writer in Kannada and Sanskrit languages. He wrote Chavundarayapurana (A.D. 978), also called as Trishashtishalakapurusharu. He adopted the gist of Mahapurana in this work. He wrote Charitrasara in Sanskrit and the work deals with Jaina ceremonies and rituals observed by Gruhastas and Munis. He had a great patronage for the poets Nagaverma and Ranna. Ranna composed Gadayuddha and Ajithanathapurana. Ranna named his son as Raya as an index of his affection for Chavundaraya. Nagaverma wrote Chadombudhi. He was an ardent disciple of Ajithasenacharya of Bankapur and Nemichandracharya who inspired him to serve the cause of Jaina religion. He was called by various titles such as Veeramarthanda, Ranarangasinga, Samaradurandara, Samyaktva Ratnakara, Vairikulakaladanda, Bujavikrama, Chaladankaganga, Samaraparashurama, Pratipaksha Rakshasa, Bhatamari, Subatachudamani, Brahmakshatra Shikamani, Gunaratnabhushana, Bhujavikrama, Ripukulasamhari, Sandivigrahi, Tribhuvanaveera, Chamupathi, Kavijanashekara, Shauchabharana, Devaraja and Satya Yudishtira. He has etched his image in the fields of literature, religion, politics and art and architecture. He was the great son of Karnataka. Nemichandracharya also influenced him immensely and hence Chavundaraya constructed a temple in his name. The Acharya dedicated Gommatasara, the amalgamative work of Dhavala and Mahadhavala as a recognition of his devotion and dedication to Jaina heritage. He called him Vera Marthandi and immortalised his name. Engraving Of Bahubali Idol The magnificent monolithic statue of Lord Gommateshwara atop the Indragiri was the greatest contribution of Chavundaraya. His revered mother Kalaladevi was greatly influenced by the narration of Bahubali's meditation and sacrifice imparting the value of indefiniteness of life as depicted by Siddantha Chakravarthi Nemichandra Swamiji in his discourse. Bahubali stood as a symbol of sacrifice and Bharatha as that of possessiveness of wealth and pleasure of the kingdom. She dreamt the vision of Lord Gommateshwara and had expressed here desire to have a darshan in Paudanapura where the statue of Bahubali was installed by Bharatha. She gave up taking food and water till she had the glimpse of Lord Bahubali. But it was a difficult task to travel to Paudanapura and also she learnt that the statue of Bahubali was encircled with serpents and thick forests. Furthermore it was an arduous task to have the glimpse of Lord Gommateshwara situated in the thick forests of Paudanapura. In order to fulfill the desire of his mother he proceeded towards Paudanapura and stayed in Kalvappu2 for some time on the way. Goddess Padmavathi, appeared and blessed him in his dream and advised him to bow the arrows towards Indragiri from Chandragiri to have the darshan of Bahubali, according to Panchabanas Bhujabalacharita. Eventually the collasal statue of Bahubali was engraved by Chavundaraya spreading the message of sacrifice, nonviolence and truth to the world. According to Govinda Pai the National poet the installation ceremony was held on Monday, 14th March, A.D. 981. The sculptor of this mega statue is said to be Arishtanemi (Bharatoja). Chavundaraya himself conducted the first mahamasthakabhishekha on 14-3-981. He donated 88 villages generating 96,000 varahas and its utility for the pooja celebration of Lord Gommateshwara. Tyagada Brahmadeva Pillar Tyagada Brahmadeva pillar on Indragiri goes in the name of Chavundaraya. The pillar measures about ten feet and is encircled with artistic flowers and tendrils. There is engraving of Sri Chavundaraya with Chamaradharis and his guru Nemichandracharya in the lower portion of the pillar. The northern side of the pillar contains the inscription narrating the valour of Chavundaraya. Akhanda Bagilu This was also said to be the contribution of Chavundaraya and it is a good piece of art and architecture of the Gangas. The lintel portion of it shows the GajaLakshmi in sitting posture which is a beautiful piece of art with the devi holding flowers in her hand. The other sculptural and architectural contribution of Chavundaraya include Sri Kushmandini devi in the form of Gulakayajji, Bhadrashale, Patala Kamba, Yaksha Kamba and also the steps to Indragiri. Chavundaraya Basadi This temple is a two storeyed structure and was constructed with Lord Neminatha as the main deity during the period A.D. 982-85. This occupies a unique position among the 14 jinalayas spread out on the Chandragiri. The temple resembles Pallava style of architecture and however it also resembles the influence of Gangas style of architecture. One can see the inscription, 'Sri Chavundaraya Madisidam' (constructed by Chavundaraya) near the main entrance. This temple is called Trailokyaranjana and Boppa Jinalaya in Hoysala inscriptions. It has two sanctum sanctoria with simple walls and artistic lintels. The inscription (A.D. 1138) found at the pedestal of Neminatha Tirthankara describes that it was installed by Eachana the son of Gangaraja who was in the court of Hoysala Vishnuvardhana. It was carved by Gangachari (Vardhamanachari), the son of Hoysalachari. The Yaksha and Yakshi of Sri Neminatha Tirthankara were also carved by Gangachari. His son Jinadevanna added some portion of this temple i.e. the upper portion of it. Chavundaraya basadi is flourished with exquisite art and is one of the master pieces of Jain temples. Establishment of Dharmapeetha He intended to establish a Dharmapeetha to guard the religious values and as a result Siddanthachakravarthi Nemichandracharya became the head of Dharmapeetha. It was later called Charukeerthi Peetha and in the later days it was considered as the seat of Shravana culture of Jainism in Karnataka. Eventually he sacrificed his immense wealth and pleasure and also relinquished political power near the Tyagada Kamba and attained salvation through sallekhana in A.D. 989. --------------- 1.

Plague is a severe and potentially deadly bacterial infection. Bubonic plague; Pneumonic plague; Septicemic plague pneumonic plague coughs, microscopic droplets carrying the infection move through the air. Anyone who breathes in these particles may catch the disease. An epidemic may be started this way. In the Middle Ages, massive plague epidemics killed millions of people. Today,: Without treatment, about 50 - 90% of those. People with the plague need immediate treatment. If treatment is not received within 24 hours of when the first symptoms occur, death may be unavoidable. Antibiotics such as streptomycin, gentamicin, doxycycline, or ciprofloxacin are used to treat plague. Oxygen, intravenous fluids, and respiratory support usually are also needed. Patients with pneumonic plague are strictly isolated from other patients. People who have had contact with anyone infected by pneumonic plague are watched carefully and are given antibiotics as a preventive measure. Rat control and surveillance of the disease in the wild rodent population are the main measures used to control the risk of epidemics. A vaccination is available for high-risk workers, but its effectiveness is not clearly established. Gage KL. Plague and other Yersinia infections. In: Goldman L, Ausiello D, eds.

Submitted by MPage on Join Samantha Appleton at the Rockport Opera House Monday, August 27th, at 7:30pm. A native of Camden, Maine, photographer Samantha Appleton covered the war in Iraq for much of the first three years. Most of her work there concentrated on Iraqi civilians. She began covering the U.S. presidential campaign in early 2007 for the New Yorker magazine, and became an Official White House Photographer at the start of the Obama administration. She served in that capacity for the next 2½ years. For Appleton, these two profoundly different experiences were merely different sides of the vortex of modern history. The images she created reflect each other rather than contrast each other. Here From There, like the idiosyncratic Maine saying, “You can’t get there from here,” suggests that to make a line, you must make a circle. HERE FROM THERE: PHOTOGRAPHS BY SAMANTHA APPLETON will be on display at the CMCA from August 4th - September 22nd with an opening reception Saturday, July 14 from 4-6pm. The Exhibition is sponsored by A.E. Sampson & Son Maine Media Workshops invites the entire community to the Rockport Opera House, 6 Central Street, for this free amazing presentation!

I was instantly attracted to this color in the bottle but as soon as the nail tech finished... I was disappointed. It is much too metallic for me. I thought it would be a deep shimmery color and really cute for a pedi, but IMO the color looks like something one of my aunts would have worn in the 80's. Did the collection also have an electric blue with a metallic finish because if that is the look they were going for I would call it a success. I went over it with another Orly polish that was clear with shimmer and it looks a little better but over all I wish I had picked... anything else. It does, however, apply and dry very nicely. I do like the formula. Is this review helpful? Yes No I loved this colour as soon as I saw it. So glad to know that others love it too! It's such an interesting colour - get lots of compliments - unlike any other I have - and I have way too many similar red/burgundy/mauve polishes. It's a good formula, great coverage, easy application, stays put - doesn't creep, finish is nice enough even if you skipped a top coat and the durability is completely acceptable. Manicure with this lasted me about 4 days before showing wear at the tips. Retouched and the tips are chipped again (more like worn away) a few days later but only on a few tips - my thumb nails, pinkies and ring fingertips are still perfect - wow. Plus it's so easy to get these polishes at great BOGO sales, etc. Is this review helpful? Yes No I LOVE this color. It's so pretty, sometimes I just fondle the bottle for the hell of it. In the bottle this is a gorgeous shimmery purple with swirls of deep purple and light purple. On the nail in strong light it's a plum w/ gold flash. Most of the time though it's just varying between bold medium purple, and dark purple. Not really that exciting in itself, but this has almost a jelly look to it. Like if I were to put a really, super shimmery purple on, and then top it with a purple jelly. SO pretty. It has a lot of depth to the color, which could otherwise be pretty boring. The formula is fantastic; opaque in 2 coats (probably could have got away w/ one), and dries fairly quickly. Is this review helpful? Yes No More reviews by ahappyplace This color has been described well below so I will just add that this was so gorgeous that I had to do a mani with it in the middle of summer although it seems to be a color more appropriate for the cooler months. It is a warm sparkly plum-bronze but doesn't overwhelm my cool toned skin. Read on for a pic - continued >> 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No More reviews by funnygirl131 This is a beautiful plum/wine color with gold or peach in it depending on light. I bought this now but will use in the fall. I is such a deep and rich color ,just georgeous for any skin tone. Is this review helpful? Yes No This is so pretty. It is very common today to make a polish that is sparkly and stunning in bright sunlight, but inside looks dark (maybe black). This is different. In sunlight, it is a lovely purple (almost a grape) but mildly boring. Inside, however, it picks up warmth from lights and looks like a berry with a rosy peach glow. If you are cool and wish the autumn hues looked good on you, this is a great option. It just glows in lamplight. Is this review helpful? Yes No More reviews by karrieleigh I absolutely adore this polish! It's an almost vampy golden plum with golden shimmer so fine that the polish glows in light. I ended up putting mine up for swap only because it's a twin to SpaRitual Days of Wine and Roses and I don't need both. The Orly bottle, as always is really great. It holds .6 oz which is one of the largest available in salon polishes obtainable by the public, also it's rubberized cap makes it very functional. The application was streak-free and fabulous, and the wear was phenomenal! Love this and would buy it again, though I RIS this one. You can get it for less than $3 online. Love it. continued >> Is this review helpful? Yes No More reviews by Gothicfaerie I agree with BimboGeri's description of this polish being a berry version of Zoya's Yasmeen. It is a similar purple but with more of a berry/wine tone to it and is lighter purple and less startling. I think it would be a good purple to choose if you are a little afraid of purples. It is very pretty and feminine but isn't exciting me particularly. Just a nice one to have in my collection. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No More reviews by Bimbo_Geri This is a deep, pink toned berry colour with a bronzy pink shimmer. It goes on smoothly and is opaque in one coat although the colour gets slightly richer with two. If you are familiar with Zoya's 'Yasmeen' colour, I've called this a berry version of it although admittedly it is a bit lighter. As always with Orly it has the rubber gripper cap and at 18ml in a bottle you get a little more for your money than with OPI or Essie. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No Pretty deep shimmery rose. It looks red in the bottle, but is definitely more of a dark rose-pink on my toes. Is this review helpful? Yes No

I sincerely wanted to love this. In the past year I've become quite enamored with orange blossom scents and thought this would be a nice addition to my exploration of that lovely note. I believe I received my sample around the holidays and dabbed a bit on my wrist--hopeful that I would drink in lovely orange blossom and other pretty floral notes. Perhaps it is my skin or my nose, but I get the most unpleasant cumin-ish not from this. I keep pressing my wrist to my nose to see if it's mellowed or moved forward to a more 'beautiful' phase--but I simply can't find it. I am just starting to get to the grape Kool-Aid note others have mentioned, but I really can't get past the scent of human sweat. I try not to jump to conclusions, but I have sampled this more than once and it appears Rubj and I will not have a long term relationship I am hopeful your experience is more beautiful, and that in this case, 'it's not Rubj, it's me". Please note: the low score for packaging is because I haven't seen the bottle and only have a sample vial. Is this review helpful? Yes No Mmmm... Rubj. This review is for the EDP. The initial blast of this is juicy berry. Really, it smells "red" or even , grapey. Thankfully this only lasts a few minutes; the next stage is a very green fresh feeling, like walking under the leaves of hazelnut trees in full leaf , late in summer. I realize this is an intensely personal connection, but that where this scents takes me back, immediately. I love this stage, where the oakmoss and greenery takes over and the scent almost seems as if it will go in the chypre direction. And then the orange blossom and white florals appear, though in a sheer fashion, and continue to grow and bloom and go on for many hours. This is why I bought the bottle of EDP, for that orange blossom goodness with a little skank thrown in. I'm wearing it now in the winter, and it brightens a cold crisp day. I imagine it will sing in the heat of summer. Despite the heavy hitters of orange blossom, jasmine and tuberose, this scent remains sheer and close to the skin for many hours. It mainly registers as a shimmering light, golden in color. It is absolutely bewitching and well-worth a full bottle. A word about cumin: I honestly do not smell it in this. However, my husband gets one whiff of it and purrs "cumin. yummy". He obviously loves the cumin overdose of this scent and cannot get enough of it. He explains to me that it smells like warm delicious skin. Not a samosa, or other Indian fare, or -worse- B.O. I wonder if I'm anosmic to cumin because I cannot, for the life of me, get anything like it in this scent. But many others do. So, sample before you buy. I have not sampled the extrait yet, and cannot wait to do so. I love the edp so much and understand that the two are only remotely related, so that getting the extrait will not be redundant, but an addition to the Rubj experience. Is this review helpful? Yes No More reviews by Wildthang This review is for Veroprofumo Rubj Parfum Extrait Just for clarification there is Rubj Parfum Extrait ( pronounced " Ruby" ) and Rubj EDP The EDP is not a lighter version of the original but a close relation . I just tried the Extrait and I am in love and need to purchase a full bottle . It is deep , rich and gorgeous , opening with an intoxicating orange blossom and developing into a beautiful nectar. Notes are Moroccan orange blossom, musk, Egyptian jasmine I just ordered a sample of the EDP the notes are similar but from what I understand according the Lucky Scent website includes Bergamot, mandarin, neroli, passion fruit, cumin, orange flower absolute, tuberose, basil, cedar, oak moss, musk so will return and review when I get it . Update ; I just tried the EDP and it really doesn't work with my chemistry it quickly developed a funky " skunky" quality and never it never left had to scrub it off . SoI will be buying a full bottle of the Rubj Extrait for sure . 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No Dear perfume Gods, this is AMAZING! Opens strong, strong, strong, neroli with tuberose underpinnings over fruit and dirty, dirty cumin. Honestly, when I smell this, the tiny lizard part of my brain instantly flashes sex with strobe like intensity. A tiny drop smeared on my wrists and in cleavage is all it takes to surround me in this heady narcotic. Far drydown (next day) all I get is musk of the beauty and quality that I remember from the 70's. I hope she makes this forever and doesn't mess with the formula. Perfume like it used to be made and apparently, in Switzerland, still is. This review is for the EdP. Awaiting sample of extrait and will review later. Is this review helpful? Yes No This review is for the edp. Did I get a bad sample? I could smell this little monster thru the packaging of my entire TPC sample order. It smells like vintage Jolie Madame (which I adore) tainted with an atrocious berry note and then an animalic civet-type note (to "dirty it up" I suppose) thrown in. Together, the fruit and civet note remind me of one of those cheap little car air fresheners hanging in a gas station bathroom. It is horrifying! It lasts forever, too--even after scrubbing I still smelled traces of it into the evening. The sample had to be double ziploc bagged before I stored it away. Currently sharing the place with Versace Blonde for worst perfume experience ever. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No This in both EDP and extrait is one of the few really great and hopefully immortal perfume creations of our time. I ended up FBing the extrait after carefully studied decants and samples of both, as it is *slightly* brighter, clearer, with a heavenly white floral sexy lushness; although I understand that the creator wished the EDP to be a little more earthy. I love it so much I know I won't hold out on getting the EDP too.There is a genius modern reference with that bubblegum/lolly note, which just seems to make it all the more sweetly decadent. This hippie Goddess in sunrise ruby robes has her beautiful sandalled feet planted in an overgrown Garden of Eden. And, the quality is awesome, lasting, evolution, sillage, all excellent. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No More reviews by chrystelica The most sickeningly sweet artificial cherry cough syrup scent ever. It reminds me of the smell of cheap, trashy kids eating a bunch of candy who haven't been bathed in several days and have sweat a lot. So sickening. I used the extrait, washed and scrubbed it off immediately and I still reek like cheap crap =p. I wished i'd never tried this, don't waste your money and ruin your day reeking like this awful, disgusting product... Is this review helpful? Yes No After draining a sample drop by drop, today I finally went online and bought a FB of Rubj from the perfumer's website. It wasn't a lighthearted decision because the price per ml is really high, although the concentration is extrait. But it had to be done, Rubj is simply addictive, you can forget about it for a while but as soon as you smell it again you want it desperately, each time more. As well as the listed notes of Moroccan sweet orange blossom, Egyptian jasmine and musk, I also clearly detect tuberose, all wondefully blended to give a smooth and rich fragrance. It's a white flower scent quite like no other I know. I picture a curvy naked beauty in bed, lazy and slow as she turns her head towards her lover and laughs a rich, deep laugh. She has long dark glossy curls that fall heavily on the pillow, the window is open onto an exotic garden and a heady mixure of early evening flowers wafts in. The scent is quite linear and it goes on and on for ages. The perfumer has a good value sample programme on her website, where you can try all 3 of her creations. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No More reviews by emmagreen I've heard this described as a saline tuberose, so i was unprepared for the power of this thing. The beginning reminded me of rosewater like in church basins not tuberose so much, though the koolaid accord others have mentioned does bring to mind other jasmine/tuberose white floral notes, only they felt layered very thickly in a way i couldn't enjoy. twenty minutes in i was totally nauseous, and no matter how much scrubbing i could not get it off. Maybe it's the orangeblossm that pushes this over the edge for me. Is this review helpful? Yes No Grape

Stab death - new witness appeal (From Malvern Gazette) Police seeking cyclist who bumped into stab victim Adrian Locke 3:11pm Monday 28th January 2013 in News By Neil Watts POLICE are trying to trace a cyclist who bumped into stab victim Adrian Locke on the day he died. Mr Locke was found by paramedics with stab wounds outside 42a Teme Road, Tolladine, at about 7.20pm on Wednesday, January 2 but some time during the afternoon he was involved in a collision with another cyclist near the shops on Rose Avenue. Witnesses say the 39-year-old was knocked off his bike and the other cyclist, described as a white man in 30s or 40s, went to the nearby shops and bought him a bottle of brandy to apologise.." Despite the efforts of the paramedics, Mr Locke, of Wych Road, Droitwich, was confirmed dead at the scene by a doctor a short while later. Two men have since been arrested and charged in relation to his death, and the police investigation continues to gather evidence. Anyone with information should call police on the non-emergency number 101.

Fat, heavy snowflakes chased each other to the ground on Thursday. They were welcome contraction-distractions. Dan was sent home at noon when the roads were rough, but not impassible. We have a foot at least here, and two kids who jump both feet into the snow. In snow boots and snow pants and with scarves wrapped around their dripping noses. Who knows when I will look through the photos from my real camera, so here are two easy iPhone ones. Wish we would have got snow. All we had was several inches of sleet :( Which is hard to walk in and drive in.

K.P. asks from Ballwin, MO on October 01, 2007 Over the Counter Ovulation Predictors Hi Ladies- I am curious if anyone has had success with over the counter ovulation predictors. I used one last month and it showed I never ovulated?? I assume I used it improperly or bought too cheap of a brand. Can anyone offer some advice on how to get accurate results or a brand that you have had success with? Also I have heard some information on foods that can increase your fertility and was curious if anyone can expand on this. Thanks! So What Happened?™ Thanks everyone. I'll keep you posted! More Answers M.R. answers from Columbia on October 02, 2007 I used a cheap brand and it worked. This was at the advice of a fertility specialist. You may need to consult your GYN or a specialist. Good Luck! M.J. answers from St. Louis on October 02, 2007 T.H. answers from Bloomington on October 07, 2007 The funny thing is.. the ones at the dollar store are the same as the ones at the main store!!! Why fork out all that money... They work!!!!!! I was on depo and I went through a TON getting my cycles back and so did a ton of other women.. The dollar store was our friends... Cuz they work.. many MAIN brands did not work and the dollar store did.. And you dont have to feel bad if you use them like mad!! ahahah as we did!!!!! Good luck.. are you charting too!!!! Fertility friends is a good site!!! and wal mart had the thermomiter you will need!!!! Good luck!!! J.R. answers from Bloomington on October 02, 2007 I used over the counter ovulation predictor tests when trying to conceive my first child because we had tried for 6 months with no luck. I conceived on the second try using the tests! Sad to say I miscarried at 7 weeks. But using the tests we conceived a second time after only 2 more months! They worked for us! I do not remember the brand name of the tests I used, but I went to Walmart and bought the cheapest test available. Don't assume that you used the test you bought improperly. You may not actually ovulate EVERY month... keep trying :) B.P. answers from St. Louis on October 02, 2007 I'd advise getting the one they sell behind the pharmacy counter called Clearblue easy. Works like a charm! It's pricey, so I always bought one on ebay and then resold it. There are always tons of them listed. Just a thought! J.S. answers from St. Louis on October 02, 2007 I had the complete opposite issue with the over-the-counter ovulation predictors...it told me I was ovulating every day, which I knew wasn't the case. With my first child, I took fertility drugs (lowest dose for 5 days and then I got pregnant!) because my doctor said he thought I wasn't ovulating. Since my son, my cycles have become more regular, but I am still have problems conceiving on my own. I am guessing I may have to try the drugs again. My doctor explained that sometimes your ovaries just need a "jump start." I also have heard that every month you alternate which ovary releases the egg, so maybe the month you took the test that ovary didn't release an egg. Sorry if this is not any help. If you do come across an ovulation kit you are pleased with, please pass it along! T.N. answers from Peoria on October 02, 2007 I used a saliva ovulation predictor. You basically lick a little slide and then look at the slide to see the patterns in the saliva. It worked for me.

Mambocat's Midlife Mojo MissionMambocat's Midlife Mojo Mission Bonjour, mon chers. I have been run hard and put up wet for waaaay to long and I am starting a much-deserved vacation. No photos today. I have a few announcements to make. I am having a midlife crisis of sorts. This does not mean that I am going to get a tattoo, buy a red convertible, start wearing black lipstick and hang around with cute boys who aren't quite old enough to buy beer. But it does mean that I am experiencing a powerful, screaming urge for creative outlet in the forms of writing and visual art. It also means that post-Katrina circumstances have brought uncertainty into my career, and I need a break so bad that I am either about to explode, fall flat on my face or go check myself in at the Ha-Ha Hilton. This is how a friend of mine pointed it out to me: "Let's see, Dez. What happened in the past nine months for you? Major crises and minor crises. As I recall, you hadn't had a real vacation in over 5 years to begin with, and you were just thinking about taking one when Katrina hit. So. Hmmm...your Dad died, you had surgery for a major staph infection, Hurricane Katrina hit, you worked at least 80 hours a week during the animal rescues and in the emergency shelters through the end of the year, you had your Mom living with you since Katrina, you had other people living with you till they could go back home, you sprained your good knee in the middle of all of this, you changed jobs, you have been commuting to New Orleans, repairing your Mom's house, fostering cats, dealing with all the hassle of all your Dad's vital records and death certificates being lost in Katrina, and what else? Fighting with insurance companies, utility companies over your Mom's house, and your husband having surgery again, and hassles with his health insurance ... and what? ... you got maybe 17 hours of sleep, total, since Katrina hit? Honey, you need a break." She, being an old soul, a wise human, a rescuer of dogs, and a good friend, is, of course, absolutely right. She also left out a lot of lesser bad things which have happened, but I didn't tell her that. Has anyone seen my mojo? She is about five-foot-seven, has long black hair, and is usually seen wearing a batik skirt and cowgirl boots, and a sweater or shawl, depending on the weather. She has a bottleof wine in her backpack and the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan and Mississippi John Hurt in her tape player. There's always some knitting in her bag, and a couple of dogs and cats following her around everywhere she goes. She laughs too loud, wears turquoise Indian jewelry, and dances to zydeco music. I used to see her all the time, but in recent years I have seen her much less often. The last time I saw her was sometime a few Octobers ago, I think. She slipped around a corner in New Orleans on her way to Tipitina's and I haven't seen her since. I need to get my mojo back. I miss her. So, I am going to take a vacation for awhile. Taking a vacation is not easy for me. Not easy at all. Taking a vacation, for me, is about as unnatural an act as putting on clothes is for Britney Spears. I am going to blog more often. I really am. Please bear with me for a few days while I get this sorry old computer in shape. I am also starting a book. It is a book about individual New Orleanians climbing out of the ruins. It is about knitting to keep sane during the Katrina recovery efforts. It has knitting patterns. It has stories about wonderful neighborhood places and people in New Orleans which are now gone forever. It has pictures if I can find a publisher who will print them. It is hurts to write about this stuff -- it hurts a lot -- but it must be written. I have never written a whole entire book before. I have written patterns, I have written things that have appeared in books, I am a technical writer as part of my real job, I write educational materials and I have sold some magazine articles and self published a pattern booklet. But I have never written a whole entire book from scratch before with no idea whether anyone might want to publish it. And I am also working on a fiber sculpture for an art show. It is made of rags and string and wind-shredded flags and other knittable Katrina debris. You will get progress reports on this project. It is called, "the Remains of the Day." My eternal thanks to KnitBud Lisa Louie of Maui for the name. So that is what I am doing for my vacation -- and beyond. Pictures soon. Best regards. Gotta go to bed now. I have a cat in my lap. Her name is Jigsaw. She is snoring. It is one of the sweetest sounds in the world. --Mambocat

You know that word association game people play sometimes? Borne from psychology circles where one person says a word and then the other person is supposed to say whatever word pops into their mind upon hearing the first word? You know what I’m talking about... if you and I were playing it, it would be like this: Me: “Orange.” You: “...JUICE!” Me: “Lennon...” You: “...McCARTNEY!” Me: “Bananas...” You: “GORILLAS!” Me: “Nicola...” You: _________ Now, dear readers, there are those amongst you who know me very well, so I could take a reasonable stab at what some of you might insert in the blank I have so kindly supplied for you above, but I would bet my right gazonga that the last thing you would say would be “...ATHLETE!” I hope this perfectly illustrates the reason why you haven’t yet found yourself reading a blog post from me about the Olympics. Don’t get me wrong, I like the pomp and circumstance of it all, and being the old soul that I am, I am diggin’ on the spirit of the tradition of the Olympic games, and being part-Canadian I am uber-proud that the eyes of the world are all on Vancouver right now... but if I’m completely honest, I’m not really fussed. I mean, I like watching the snowboarders (mostly because the boy ones are all cool little hotties) and I like watching the ice skating, sometimes. The latter for two reasons: first out of envious curiosity which quickly dissipates into bitterness along the ‘Why-Can’t-My-Ass-Be-So-Small-And- Perky-Like-Hers’ lines, and second because I think it’s funny when they fall down. YOU LAUGH, TOO... don’t try and deny it. I did watch quite a bit of the Opening Ceremonies, though. It made me totally homesick, and I found myself very emotional (aka crying like a big fat baba) when it got to Shane Koyczan’s recitation of his FRICKIN’ AWESOME poem ‘We Are More’ (click the link to read the full transcript) ... oh, yes, we say ‘zed’ instead of ‘zee’: RIGHT ON, MY BROTHA. So instead of giving you loads of fluff about curling or cross-country skiing or hockey (heaven forbid!) I thought I’d give you a run down of the things in my life that I believe are podium-worthy, should the governing bodies of the IOC decide to expand their definition of ‘sport’ to include the everyman. Without further ado, I give you the NicOlympics – What I’d Win a Medal For: Gold medal: Facebook. I’m always on it. I know, totally dorky, right? But it’s my lifeline, I tells ya. Being all the way over here, when most of my homies are across the water? It’s hard. So being friends with them on Facebook where I can see pictures of them, their kids, their drunken escapades, pets, holidays, etc. etc. means the world to me. It has brought back people in my life that I regretted having long ago lost touch with, and it gives me a medium with which to share news, photos and videos, etc. with people who miss me. And by ‘people’ I mostly mean my Mum. And by ‘miss’ I mean ‘relieved I’m not local and constantly borrowing money.’ Silver medal: Cooking. Totally not joking. And if this event got extra points for making mammoth gargantuan everything-out-of-the-cupboards messes in the kitchen at the same time, I’d blow the competition out of the water. My love of cooking started around about a decade ago, when I realised that in addition to the lure and appeal of my boobs in a Wonderbra, the way to Jason’s heart was (as the saying goes) was directly through his stomach. So I started making all manner of yummy things to entice my way into his affections. It totally worked. He is fond of telling the story of how he started to realise I was ‘The One’ not long after we started dating and I made a lovely Not Chicken Pot Pie while he was out at a football match, and that I cut the letters ‘NUFC 5-0!’** out of pastry to put on the top. His favourites that I make now include a delicious Thai green curry, roasted Mediterranean vegetables with Cypriot haloumi cheese, scrambled eggs with double cream and green chillies... I could be here all day. Maybe one day I will post some recipes – is that really dorky, though? Bronze medal: Making A Bottle of Formula With Only One Hand While Holding Baby In Other While Talking On Phone At Same Time. Doesn’t sound like a big deal to a lot of you, maybe. But this is a special, special talent. One handed, too. Try it. I bet you make a mess! Not me, naw. Honourable mention: Last Minute House Tidying. Being married to an obsessive tidyer-upper has its perks: I hardly ever do the dishes or make the bed, because Jason likes to do them just so. He is the loveliest type of husband and we have a great system – I make mess, and he cleans it up. It has worked for almost a decade. When he is at home on his own through the day, he cleans up as he goes along. Me? I turn the entire house upside-down while I’m going about the business of looking after our kids, and then about 20 minutes before he gets in from work I restore the natural order of everything, whipping around the place in a tubby alternative Mary Poppins Spoonful of Sugar style. It is a sight to behold. Last place: Musical Tolerance. If this was a real event, I wouldn’t even qualify. I would be last place, nobody would want me on their team. Despite having a really wide ranging musical collection, I’m so closed-minded when it comes to listening to new or different stuff it’s really rather embarrassing. Take Jason, for example: lifelong card-carrying metalhead, and proud of it. But always, ALWAYS lets me listen to what I want to listen to in the house, or the car. Has even admitted (but don’t tell any of his friends) that he was wrong about The Smiths and Morrissey and The Cure and The Pixies, and likes quite a lot of the music I suggest he listens to. Me? I turn into a scowling, foul-mouthed, bad-tempered harpy if he even so much as lingers on a music video that I don’t like for more than a few seconds.

Image via Wikimedia Commons Not going for gold: hallmarking figures plummet 25% in December By Michael Northcott Friday, 11 January 2013 If you want some alternative metrics by which to try and judge how the economy is doing, how about precious metal hallmarking? Latest Stories from Management Today So this is a different way of looking at the state of retail. The latest figures released by the Birmingham Assay Office (an authority on the state of precious metals in the UK), show a decline of 24.9% in the numbers of items hallmarked in December 2012 compared with the previous year: gold items were down 22.8%, and silver was down 27.8%. In a sense, this is to be expected, considering we’re in the middle of an economic mire. And add to that, the number of gold items hallmarked has fallen every single year since 2002, from a high of 25,000 then to around 4,200 in 2012, according to assay office's figures. But look at the quarterly figures, and the drop isn’t quite so severe. In the period October to December 2012, the number of hallmarked items by the UK’s four assay offices was 9.3 million, a 14.1% drop on the 10.9 million in the same period the year before. Look at some specific other metals, too, and the picture is more encouraging: super-expensive metal platinum saw a 1.3% increase in the number of items hallmarked, and palladium (still pretty dear) showed a massive 22% increase. Needless to say, falling numbers mean tough times for the jewellery trade and therefore a good portion of British retail, but increased interest in expensive metals such as platinum suggests that when people do decide to spend, they spend on pricier pieces than they did the year before. Also, to be fair to consumers, the price of gold is pretty darned high at the moment, and shows no signs of falling. This obviously makes gold jewellery in particular a lot more expensive than it has been in the past. So, not much more to be chirpy about than the usual doom and gloom stats, but at least it makes a change. Maybe we’ll stick to GDP figures until the jewellers are shifting more trinkets… Recommend this page

Football fans in Manchester in the run-up the UEFA Cup Final on Wednesday 14 May will have the chance to see what it’s all about – the UEFA Cup itself. The UEFA Cup is on display in the Sculpture Hall in Manchester Town Hall and entry is free. The Town Hall will be open to visitors between 9am and 5pm on Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 May. Manchester is continuing its huge preparation for the big match, with thousands of fans of Rangers FC and FC Zenit St Petersburg expected to will gather at fan zones in Albert Square, Piccadilly Gardens and Cathedral Gardens. Big outdoor screens will show the match in the evening and for those arriving early, there will be entertainment throughout the day, including showings of a UEFA football film, music on stage, and wandering comedy and street theatre performers. Thousands more fans are expected to flock to pubs and clubs that will be screening the match for those not lucky enough to have a ticket for the big game at the City of Manchester Stadium. With tens of thousands of additional visitors expected, city leaders are advising everyone to allow extra time for journeys and to make greater use of the excellent bus, train and tram services to minimise their journey times. Major events bring in millions of pounds to Manchester's economy, supporting local businesses and jobs for local people. For more information about Manchester's plans for the UEFA Cup Final visit The heaviest Cup When the captain of the winning side climbs the steps at the City of Manchester Stadium, he'll need to be prepared to lift the heaviest of UEFA's trophies. It tips the scales at 15 kilos and, if you want to calculate how much champagne it holds, the measurements are 65 centimetres high, 33 wide and 23 deep. The trophy, a silver cup on a yellow marble plinth, was designed by Swiss artist Alex W. Diggelmann and crafted by the Bertoni workshops in Milan. Unlike other cups presented at the finals of European club competitions, the UEFA Cup has no handles. Like all the best designs, it looks simple. Just above the plinth, a group of players seem to be jostling for the ball. In fact they are supporting the octagonal 'cup' that is emblazoned with the UEFA emblem. The tournament regulations state that the UEFA Cup is handed to the winners to keep for one year and that each champion is entitled to keep a four-fifths size replica which, at the moment, costs something over €2,000 to make. The original, by the way, cost something like €14,000. The regulations also state that the trophy will be handed to any club which wins the UEFA Cup three times in succession or five times overall. So far this has not happen ed! It means that the UEFA Cup is the oldest trophy still up for grabs in club competitions. Media contact: Martin Hellewell More information on the UEFA cup final

Burr and Burton dominated the field for much of the game putting 20 shots on net to Woodstock's two. "It's a good opener," said Burr and Burton Head Coach Dan Deforest "Woodstock's going to come to play, they always do. We had a lot of people contribute, our fresh legs were good and I was pleased with the way we played. I was really pleased with the way we were aggressive going to the ball all over the field and then I thought we started to get some good passes off that." Burr and Burton struck early in the game when junior midfielder Emma Hallett received a through ball and buried The well struck ball was one of the rare mistakes Woodstock's senior keeper, Lizzy Miller, would allow as she went on to tally 18 saves out of 20 chances on the day. Miller's performance earned her kudos from one of Woodstock's head coaches. "She definitely kept us in the game," said Greg LaBella after the game. "We know she's strong in the air and that was the plan to keep them outside contained, play tough defense and let her catch the balls and then kick them 50 yards." Burr and Burton's second score came with 8:26 remaining in the first half when senior Cara Corvino fed junior forward Katy Jones who knocked it in for the 2-0 BBA lead at the half. BBA came out firing in the second After five more saves tallied by Miller, the Wasps pushed the ball down field with a little over 15 minutes left to play in the game and fired on goal, but goalie Joanna Jorgenen - who had two saves on the day - was there to thwart the effort. Miller's solid performance in gaol kept the Wasps in the game and helped Woodstock put some pressure on BBA late. "Woodstock did a great job in that their goal keeper has a great punt, a great goal kick, and that's when they had their threats when they used the long ball from her to put pressure on and they pressured the ball well, I thought, all over the field," said DeForest. "They were effective at pressuring our girls and that's the kind of game you like to see because you have to use quick passes. You've got to release the ball early, you've got to get rid of the ball early, and I thought we started to do some more of that." Miller made three impressive saves late in the game that prevented the Bulldogs from pulling farther ahead, but the Wasps were unable to strike as BBA came away with the victory. "We were here for a coming of age game. This was a game of development," said LaBella after the game. "They're joining a group of players that have had several years of experience." "They've been very successful in their pre-high school years, but this is a big step for them," Woodstock's other head coach Bill Langlands added. The BBA varsity girls soccer team will play next at the MAU Tournament at Spinelli Field beginning at 7 p.m. on Thursday, which continues through Saturday, Sept. 8.

Brief character study, written at 3.00am while drunk, which incidentally are the best conditions for anyone as cool as me to write in: SPOILER! :As a young man, striding forth into the jaws of the world, I found them to be full of dullards. That sounds cynical, but it's how I felt at the time, and how I still feel today. So many people were jerking on strings, fulfilling obligations, thinking things through, planning things out, and never considering that they could want something for themselves. As toddlers, they pleased their parents; as students, they pleased their tutors; now, as adults, they tried to please everyone they knew. That included their parents, their spouse, their boss, and their co-workers, but as none of them knew themselves, they took care never to please themselves. They called that selfishness. Well, as a pretentious poet, I knew myself all too well. I would hold battles with myself in my mind all through my formative years, dashing assault after assault on my mental barriers – some successful, others ending with the death of all combatants. But by the time I set out to find myself, there were no barriers left to down: I knew what I wanted, and I knew that I would take it. I wasn't normal, but I wasn't a madman either. In my own mind, I was a hero. It was a pity nobody else noticed it. The problems started when I tried to assert my heroism in a conversation with my parents: “But why? Why don't you want to join the bar? After all the money we spent on your education?” That was my mother. I could forever rely on her to overreact melodramatically to my choices. “I want to be free, mother, I want to see the world! I want to make my own path!” I was a well-spoken lad; the expensive tutors had made sure of that. I had had the most expensive education available, from the top teachers in Europe. I was trained in piano. I was trained in integral calculus. I was trained in classical literature. About the only bloody thing I wasn't trained in was critical thinking. Adding value to the family estate, inheriting it, and raising a child or five to add yet more value to it required little capacity for criticism. Not that I hadn't learned how to write a critique, of course. I'd just been forced to learn through less expensive routes than private tutors – the family library, untouched since the death of my bibliophile grandfather, held shelf upon shelf of books assaulting every aspect of the values I thought I'd believed in – fair play, piety, and entitlement, which had once seemed such inspirational forces, became like the pale and decaying remnants of a once-great institution under the incisive gaze of these volumes.

Kids Luv Brass! from the City of Ottawa and MASC, an arts support agency based in Ottawa. Technical advice and input was also provided by professional musicians and performers. For the middle and higher grades we offer a concert of about 45 minutes and geared to the specific age group of the audience. This can be supplemented by instrumental workshops for the various sections of the school band. For new band members the workshops will cover the basics of the instrument, breathing techniques and sound production. We have also provided section coaching in the playing of competition pieces with Manotick Brass sitting in with the band on a final rehearsal. WHATS THE BUZZ?! “What’s the Buzz?!” is a lively presentation designed to introduce young children to the joys of brass music. The rap style introduction quickly grabs audience attention and sets everyone a-buzz! Aimed at the elementary school level, this interactive presentation will have students clapping, marching and singing. Professionally developed with financial support from the City of Ottawa “What’s the Buzz?!” can be presented to groups from 30 to 300 students. This 45 minute presentation holds the young audience in rapt attention. The presentation can be supplemented by in-residence workshops for up to 30 students. In the 45 minute workshops students are given one on one instruction on the techniques of buzzing on trumpet mouthpieces. Students are then broken into small groups of 5 or 6 to try out special fanfare trumpets. Once some proficiency has been achieved students come together in groups of 4 to play their own trumpet fanfares.

_10<< _29<< An urban photo shoot with a couple of lovely sisters Alex and Liz thought it would be a great idea to surprise their dad by offering him their framed portraits for Christmas. I decided to go for a creative urban shoot, therefore we met downtown Toronto and explored the area around the Art Gallery of Ontario. Despite the cold and the fairly large snow flakes coming down from the grey sky, the two girls were so easy going, up for anything and a lot of fun to be around. They even commented on the ‘impromptu’ feel of our photographic adventure. With just a general idea on how I would like the session to begin, I allowed things to unfold naturally and the inspiration to kick in while walking down the street, exploring and being drawn by particular corners and textures. I enjoyed myself and I hope Alex and Liz did as well. Thank you for a good time and all the best in the new year!

A preferential price for electric power is also being negotiated, the state-owned power generation and distribution company, Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE) suggests an exclusive power outlet at the homes of people who own a Leaf to differentiate power consumed by the vehicle. The possibility of preferential highway tolls and exclusive lanes is also being discussed. Mr. Vallejo pointed-out that there are recharge centers for public vehicles in Mexico City and Aguascalientes, where Leaf units are used as taxis.

post written by: Marc Productive Simplicity = (Life + Goals) - Distraction Every bit of advice on life and time management can be broken down to a single fundamental idea: know what is important to achieving your goals, focus accordingly, and ignore all else. Do you have stuff in your home that you do not use? Get rid of it. Do you have features in your product that are not essential to your customer’s needs? These features are only adding complexity to your product and confusing your customers in the process. Mercilessly eradicate all the needless clutter, distraction and time sinks out of your life and suddenly everything else, the important stuff, becomes far more manageable. The whole concept of doing less as a way of accomplishing more is actually quite simple. The hard part is figuring out what you want to accomplish and then identifying the tasks that are truly important to get you there. Many people also confuse urgency with importance. Never drop a task of high importance for an seemingly urgent inconsequential one. During most tasks only 20% of the activities surrounding it are truly important; the other 80% are just excess trivialities that can be ignored. One of the most vital skills you can have in life is figuring out which one is which.

Bond was set at $35,000 Wednesday for a Marietta resident who allegedly stabbed a man late Tuesday night and apologized before fleeing. Ronald W. Fisher, 38, of 715 Greene St., was arrested by Marietta Police on a charge of second-degree felonious assault for allegedly stabbing William J. Williams in the victim's 833 Second St. apartment. According to a statement of facts provided by the police department, Williams said someone started knocking, then banging, on his door Tuesday night. When he started to open the door, Fisher came in and stabbed him in the back of his left leg, the report says. Williams said he'd never seen the suspect before. He described the blade as about 4 inches long. The report says Williams headed for the kitchen and Fisher followed him and began punching him in and around the head. Williams then shouted at the suspect, asking him what he was doing and said he'd stabbed him. Fisher reportedly said, "No, I didn't," then apologized and told Williams his name. After Williams showed Fisher the blood from the wound, the report says, Fisher left the apartment. Police were dispatched to the scene at 11:07 p.m. A description of the red Dodge Durango in which Fisher fled was obtained, and another officer stopped the vehicle at Third and Butler streets minutes later. Williams was taken to Marietta Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and released, Marietta Police Capt. Jeff Waite said. Fisher was brought back to the apartment, where a woman living there and a teen who'd been in the apartment at the time of the stabbing identified him, the report says. At the police station, Fisher reportedly made a written confession. The report does not mention a possible motive. "We believe it was over relationship issues, not necessarily (Fisher's)," Waite said. There was also no mention in the report of Fisher being under the influence of alcohol or any other controlled substance. Additional charges could be pending against Fisher. "It's a good possibility," Waite said. Fisher was arraigned by video Wednesday in Marietta Municipal Court. He remained in custody at the Washington County Jail Wednesday afternoon. Municipal court records show Fisher has been arrested multiple times on charges including trafficking and possession of drugs, domestic violence, driving under suspension and possession of drug paraphernalia. 700 Channel Lane , Marietta, OH 45750 | 740-373-2121 © 2013.

By Steve Corkran scorkran@bayareanewsgroup.com Those yearning for another look at quarterback Tom Brady and the Patriots or for Peyton Manning's first playoff game since January 2011 will have to wait another week. Just the same, NFL wild-card weekend ought to hold you over just fine. The 49ers are idle, but they could learn their playoff opponent Saturday night. If Green Bay beats Minnesota, the Packers will be at Candlestick next Saturday. If Green Bay loses to Minnesota, the 49ers will draw the winner of the Seattle-Washington game Sunday. Three rookie quarterbacks take the stage Sunday, including Andrew Luck, whose Indianapolis Colts go up against Baltimore in what could be the final game of Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis' legendary career. Seattle's Russell Wilson and Washington's Robert Griffin III, who have carried their teams and their towns to unexpected heights, will square off in the late game. Behind Griffin, the Redskins closed the regular season with seven straight victories, the last a 28-18 win Sunday night against Dallas with the NFC East title and playoff berth at stake. Wilson directed the Seahawks to 11 victories this season, including an 8-0 mark at home. But Seattle will be in Washington -- not their Washington -- and their 3-5 road record included losses to Arizona, Miami, St. Louis and Detroit, all teams with losing records. Yet, for all the quarterback talk, this game might be decided by the running backs, Marshawn Lynch of Seattle and Too bad Wilsonw or Griffin won't make it past this game. On the other hand, we're assured of seeing one of them again next weekend. The Pick: It says here that Griffin, before a frenzied crowd of 82,000, adds to his legacy by outdueling Wilson in a game that will be remembered as the first of many great matchups between the two. Washington, 20-10. Cincinnati at Houston, Saturday 1:30 p.m. This the least intriguing matchup of the weekend. For one, we've already seen it -- the teams met in the first round last year -- and it wasn't pretty. For another thing, the Texans, once the class of the league with an 11-1 record, are stumbling, bumbling, fumbling. Houston has lost three of its last four, and last Sunday's 28-16 loss at Indianapolis cost the Texans a first-round bye and home field in the second round. Questions are rising once more about quarterback Matt Schaub, and not just from the general public. Jerry Rice and Matt Millen joined the chorus this week, the latter saying of Schaub, "When the lights get bright, his leg gets wet." But the Texans still have Arian Foster and JJ Watt and Andre Johnson and -- heck, for that matter -- T.J. Yates, who quarterbacked last year's playoff victory when Schaub was hurt. The Pick: The Texans are vulnerable, but Cincinnati, devoid of a proven quarterback and a workhorse running back, is not equipped to pull the road upset. Houston 31-10, same as last year. Minnesota at Green Bay, Saturday 5 p.m. How sweet is the notion of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson taking his jaw-dropping act to Lambeau Field for a rematch against the Packers team he helped take down last Sunday? Peterson averaged 204.5 yards in two games against the Packers this season, including 199 Sunday in a 37-34 overtime victory that had huge ramifications for both teams. The Vikings made the playoffs with the victory. The Packers lost their No. 2 seed, costing them a first-round bye and home-field advantage in the second round. (The Vikings' victory also cost Lovie Smith his job, as the Chicago Bears coach was fired for missing the playoffs despite a 10-6 record.) The question is, can Saturday's game come close to matching the intensity and excitement of the game they just played? The bigger question -- for 49ers fans, at least -- is can Minnesota keep Aaron Rodgers and the Packers from coming to Candlestick next Saturday? The Pick: It's difficult to envision the Packers getting bounced from the playoffs at home for the second straight season. Green Bay defensive coordinator Dom Capers, aided by the return of Charles Woodson, will have a better plan to contain Peterson. Green Bay, 35-13. Indianapolis at Baltimore, Sunday 10 a.m. Much-maligned Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is 4-0 in first-round playoff games, but he won't be the most-talked-about quarterback in this game. Luck, the No. 1 overall pick in last spring's draft, is coming off a regular season in which he broke six NFL rookie records, including passing yards (4,374) and victories (11). If he wins one more game, he likely goes to Denver to face Manning, the man he replaced in Indianapolis. This game is rich in storylines. Aside from Lewis, whose potential finale also will mark his first game since an Oct. 14 injury, there is Colts coach Chuck Pagano, who made an emotional return last week after missing 12 games while undergoing treatment for leukemia. And then there's that thing about the Colts playing in the city they abandoned after the 1983 season. The Pick: Luck has been amazing, but it will take more than him to overcome a Ravens team riding the wave of emotion generated by Lewis' return and potential departure. Baltimore, 27-21.
