BOSTON, Mass.—Lyndsey Capra's (Lowell, Mass.) huge day at the plate helped UMass Boston softball (6-13) earn a home doubleheader split with Salve Regina University (11-11) Wednesday afternoon at the UMB Softball Field.
Capra scored a pair of runs in game one including the walk-off game-winning run to help the Beacons earn a 3-2 victory in game one. The junior center fielder added two more hits and a team-high three RBI in the second contest, but the Seahawks had too much firepower in a 9-4 game two victory. On the day, Capra finished 3-5 with two runs and three RBI.
Freshman Kaitlyn Morse (Arlington, Mass.) added a pair of hits and two RBI on the day, while Haley Dutton (Milton, Mass.), Gia Raczkowski (Stoneham, Mass.) and Kristina Bove (Medford, Mass.) each matched Capra for the team-high with three hits on the day.
Game One: UMass Boston 3, Salve Regina 2
After leading or being tied for the first five innings, UMass Boston needed a two-run, seventh inning rally to earn their third-consecutive victory over the Seahawks.
Capra and Morse provided the majority of the offense for the Beacons in the first game, as Capra crossed the plate on two occasions thanks to Morse RBI singles. Dutton added a pair of hits in three at-bats and Toni Scola (Worcester, Mass.) added a single and the game-tying run for the Beacons.
Sophomore Emily Gray (New Bedford, Mass.) locked down the red-hot Seahawks offense, allowing just eight hits and two unearned runs. The right-hander struck out two and avoided walking a batter, to improve her record to 3-6.
Nicole Parry, the Seahawks ace, allowed seven hits and three runs, one earned, over 6.1 innings to take the loss (5-4).
UMass Boston opened the scoring in the bottom of the third. Capra belted the first of her two triples on the day to left-center to lead-off the inning, and scampered home moments later when Morse laced a single to left-center field.
Salve Regina threatened to tie the game in the next half-inning, but Lauren Mitsiaris (Taunton, Mass.) threw out a runner trying to score from third on a groundout, to end the inning.
The Seahawks finally broke through in the top of the sixth thanks to a Gray miscue. With runners at second and third after two singles and a wild pitch, Gray fielded a grounder back to the mound and overthrew her first baseman, to allow both runners to cross the plate.
Parry shut the Beacons down in the bottom of the sixth, but couldn't recreate her success in the seventh.
After retiring the lead-off batter, Scola rocketed a single off the shortstops' glove for a one-out single. Capra attempted to move her over with a sacrifice bunt, but the Seahawks' catcher's throw caught Capra in the back and bounced away, to allow Scola to reach third and Capra to move to second. Scola came home two pitchers later on a wild pitch to even the game at 2-2. Just two pitchers after that, Morse gave the Beacons reason to celebrate, as the freshman singled to left field to plate Capra and give the Beacons a 3-2 win.
Game Two: Salve Regina 9, UMass Boston 4
The two team's offenses woke up in the second game, as the teams combined for 13 runs and 20 hits, including eight runs between the bottom of the fourth and top of the fifth inning. After the Beacons tied the game at 4-4 in the bottom of the fourth, Salve Regina responded with four of their own in the fifth and cruised to a 9-4 win.
Sara Nelson and Nikki Bukovsky each recorded a pair of RBI for the Seahawks who came into today's doubleheader averaging 9.3 runs per game over their past 10. Freshman pitcher Kara O'Riley allowed eight hits and four runs, three earned, over five innings to pick up her first collegiate victory.
Capra led the Beacons offensive charge with two hits in three at-bats and three RBI, while Raczkowski led the team with a 3-for-4 game two. Dutton finished 1-for-3 with a run and her first collegiate RBI in the loss.
Junior pitcher Michelle Zullo (Everett, Mass.) took the loss, after allowing nine runs, seven earned, on 10 total hits. She did manage to strike out four Seahawks, while allowing just one walk.
Salve Regina took an early 2-0 lead in the first against Zullo, behind back-to-back RBI extra-base hits from Jenna Edine and O'Riley. The Seahawks tacked on two-out runs in the top of the third and fourth innings to push their lead to 4-0 heading into the bottom of the fourth.
UMass Boston started their rally with one down, as Gray reached on an error by the first baseman and moved over to third base on Mitsiaris' double to the wall in right field. Dutton followed with a soft grounder to the shortstop to plate Gray and give the Beacons their first run of the game. After Scola walked to load the bases, Capra crushed a triple to right-center field to easily score all three runners and tie the game at 4-4. Capra attempted to come home on a wild pitch moments later, but the umpire called her out on a bang-bang play.
The tie wouldn't last very long, as Salve Regina went back up by four in the next half-inning. Nelson laced a single off of Mitsiaris' glove at first base to score two and give the Seahawks a 6-4 lead with no outs. Three batters later, Bukovsky ripped a two-run, two-out triple down the right-field line to push the lead back to four.
Salve Regina added a single run in the sixth inning and UMass Boston failed to get anything going on reliever Kelsey Boarman, to help Salve Regina earn the 9-4 win.
UMass Boston will be right back at it Thursday afternoon, as they host Framingham State University at 3:30 p.m.

2.45pm: Hello and welcome to coverage of an intriguing mid-group-stage clash. No offence to Greece, and with apologies to the evergreen retro oeuvre of John Travolta; but today the word is, not Greece, but Nigeria. It is quite hard to be neutral with this one. What the World Cup needs is, surely, another African win - and another African team with a chance of making the last 16.
The teams are in:
Greece: 12-Alexandros Tzorvas; 11-Loukas Vyntra, 16-Sotiris Kyrgiakos, 15-Vassilis Torosidis, 6-Alexandros Tziolis, 8-Avraam Papadopoulos, 19-Socratis Papastathopoulos, 10-Giorgos Karagounis, 21-Kostas Katsouranis; 14-Dimitris Salpingidis, 17-Fanis Gekas.
Nigeria: 1-Vincent Enyeama; 17-Chidi Odiah, 6-Danny Shittu, 2-Joseph Yobo, 3-Taye Taiwo, 12-Kalu Uche, 20-Dickson Etuhu, 15-Haruna Lukman, 14-Sani Kaita, 8-Yakubu Aiyegbeni, 11-Peter Odemwingie.
Referee: Oscar Ruiz (Colombia)
2.47pm: Nothing to do with Greece being a rather cautious team of course (although Gekas was Europe's top scorer in qualifying).
2.48pm: Nikos the Greek fan has encouraging news on that front: "We've reverted back to the successful 3-4-3 with 21 yr old Papastathopoulos and 31 yr old Kyrgiakos back in. The key to the game will be using the energy of the CM to close down Nigeria and get the ball out wide with pace. Gekas should have more opportunities if overlapping "wing-backs" can hit the by-line. Look out for 19 yr old Ninis to replace Karagounis in the second half if still looking for that vital "spark"." Indeed.
2.51pm: Of course, Nigeria have hardly set the tournament alight, the wondrous Enyeama apart. But this is a must-win game against a team notably bereft of Messi-level attacking geniuses. Perhaps the only thing the Nigeria defence have to fear today is the implicit fate-tempting warning in the right side of their own defence, which is made up of Odiah and Shittu. Let's hope there will be none of that today. Greece, of course, have to win or they're pretty much certain to be out of here. Two desperate teams who have to win. What could possibly go wrong?
2.52pm: You can of course email me your thoughts on firstname.lastname@example.com, or if you like communicate with me via Twitter if that's your bag. Greece. I feel slightly weary reminding you, have yet to score at the World Cup finals. Any World Cup finals. So let's hope a slice of history.
2.55pm: The teams are out. Nigeria in groovy green zip-up V-necks. Some vague mumbling from the Greeks during their anthem. They look - how to put this nicely? - quite a grizzled lot.
2.57pm: And... Obafemi Martins is wearing gloves. In the sunshine. Although to be fair it was quite chilly last night in Blomefontein.
2.59pm: Gekas looks to be playing as a lone striker in this formation, at the head of a 4-1-4-1. Nigeria are in a more attacking 4-4-1-1, with Odemwingie lurking in the hole.
3.01pm: Nath Jones is pshawing: "Nikos the Greek fan's "3-4-3 with overlapping wing-backs" conjures up thoughts of some brilliant 1-6-3 formation which will set the World Cup alight, similar to the unbeatable 1-4-5 formation on Championship Manager '93. I'm guessing Greece will actually play a 5-4-1 in practice, though, yep?"
1 mins: Greece kick us off and they're straight into a spell of meandering keep-ball in their own half. It already looks more like a back five than a flying wing-backs situation, but early days here.
3 mins: Nigeria have their first little spell but it peters out as Yakubu puts in a slightly surprising early "reducer" on Karagounis ands it's a free kick. And Ben Davis notes: "Darren Anderton has scored more world cup goals than Greece. Just a thought." Darren Anderton has probably also got more cash in the bank than Greece.
5 mins: First attempt at a genuine attack from both sides: a pair of overhit crosses from Nigeria's left hand side and Greece's right. Both nowhere near the sole man skulking anywhere near in the box. Oh dear. None of that please. We need a a winner today. Mohammed Syed muses: "Whats the point of Greece even turning up. They're going to get hammered. As they're a bit skint they should have sold the slot to Turkey or Russia." Greece will of course be looking to silence these taunts with a feats of joyful attacking football.
8 mins: An extremely slow and cagey start here as both teams gird themselves for the inevitable explosion of goals. Gekas is ridiculously isolated in attack when Greece defend. There are simply no white shirts anywhere near him. Constantino objects: "In response to your early comment about preferring an African team to go through... I would like nothing more than to see another African team through to the next round, but 2004 cursed us forever with expectations. So when we fail badly today I will in despair. The only thing worse than a glimmer of hope is the misery of knowing we can do better." Is that a lyric from a Smiths song?
11 mins: Greek free-kick wide on the left 40 yards from goal. Karagounis swirls it in and Yobo rises massively, the ball making a meaty "thwunk" as he heads it clear. At least Greece chucked some players forwards there. And here they come again, nice cross from the right by Vyntra but it's behind Gekas. That was brighter. And now Katsouranis has a shot at goal from about 45 yards out, easily palmed down, but you appreciate the thought. Neil Colquhoun picks up: "To pick you up slightly on one point, Barney – surely if Greece lose today they're definitely the first team eliminated? (I have a prediction comp riding on this!)". Yes,. you are of course right.
14 mins: Nice little ball down the left channel from Etuhu that Yakubu scampers after but he just can't get there. And now Papadopoulos has been booked for a pull back on the sprightly Odemwingie. Nice pressure from Nigeria.
16 mins: NIGERIA SCORE!!! A terrible error from the Greek goalkeeper and frankly a bizarre goal, as the scorer Uche curled in a free-kick from 45 yards, looking to find one of his strikers, and Tzorvas simply dived the wrong way when if he'd stood there he would have saved it. That was extraordinary. Terrible for Greece. A genuine - and I'm afriad hilarious - gaffe from the keeper.
18 mins: Greece are looking ragged here, various players pointing and yelling at each other. Tzorvas will be feeling terrible. He seemed to be dummied by one of the Nigeria players in front of him, but ended up just letting the ball bounce through into his net. Katsouranis has a shot that's blocked on the edge of the box. At least Greece will have to attack now.
21 mins: Nigeria have a free kick 35 yards out, which Taiwo blasts at the wall and it skitters off for a corner. Nervously defended by Greece but they eventually hack it clear. The goalkeeper really does look edgy after that howler. And Greg Cross snickers: "Will the Greeks use this opportunity to track down the Nigerian whose email they responded to..?!", expressing his own sentiments hem hem and not those of this august online organ.
24 mins: Greece are venturing forward here, both wing-backs getting up and down and Karagounis to the fore, but blimey he's lost whatever pace he ever had and looks terribly immobile. He lumps a long free kick into the box but Shittu rises to bunt it clear with his massive head. Not really the best way to attack this imposing Nigerian central defence. Oliver Pattendon asks: "We were assured no goalkeeping gaffe would top Green's in this World Cup... how did this measure up??" Oh. Well. Not in that territory. I would say definitely funnier though. In the end he simply leapt out of the way.
27 mins: Now Nigeria hoof in a long free kick but it's scuffed and Greece break with Gekas and Vyntra, but Karagounis fluffs his lines with a terrible pass and it's all over for now. Greece are trying. They are just terribly limited. James Wells notes gravely "I think the lesson of the 2010 World Cup is that we can take men's football seriously only when the standard of goalkeeping reaches that of women's football."
29 mins:Nigeria on the other hand look a bit more sprightly when they come forward. You really do feel this creaking Greece team is there for the taking if they can just be a bit more precise. James Nderitu writes: "Nigerias have just but to win. Keep up guys. We are with u from Africa." And Greece have a corner, swung in by Karagounis and headed well over by Kyrgiakos rising above the immense Shittu.
32 mins: Torosidis gets absolutely clogged by Odia going up for a high ball. That looked extremely painful, he was essentially crushed by a massively bigger man and just for a second looked like a very small child being squashed by a wardrobe.
33 mins: KAITA IS SENT OFF. A straight red card. Unbelievable indiscipline. A minor coming together off the pitch and he raises his foot to brush the knee of Katsouranis, who goes down in a heap of gamesmanship. But entirely Kaita's fault. He trudges off looking totally shattered. That came out of nothing. Disaster for Nigeria.
36 mins: Immediately Greece have their best chance of the game, Torosidis flying in from the left to meet a deep cross and head just over. Nigeria look in a state of shock and they have really shot themselves in the foot here. Meanwhile Alex Hendrikson muses: "My girlfriend has asked me to email her choice selections from your excellent minute by minute coverage. I now find myself providing minute by minute updates of minute by minute coverage, have things gone to far?" Frankly, you had me at "email her choice selections".
37 mins: Papadopoulos is off and the more attacking Samaras, formerly of Manchester City and also pomp metal band Queen, is on.
39 mins: Crucial moments in this game as Greece attack and Nigeria crawl towards half-time and a much-needed re-organisation. Greece are pouring it on here. Samars almost gets on to a loose ball in the six yard box after a neat low cross from Karagounis. Colin Greer asks "Do you buy into the notion that an African team's win equates a win for the entire African continent? Or is this another slice of lazy punditry? Are you (and your compatriots) overwhelmed with joy when Germany wins?" Oh dear, look Africans generally want an African team to do well: this is their first ever World Cup. if Europe had never had the tournament and also never won it most of Europe would probably be cheering Germany on.
41 mins: Haruna clears off the line, kicking the ball away from his post after a corner. That was a groovy kind of flicked attempt at a finish from Samaras that was bouncing inside the post and Haruna did his job. Great stuff from Greece. Samaras has made a big difference. They have an attacking focus now. Nat Guillhou asks: "All this African bonhomie is lovely to see, but how real is it? Any idea of which fixtures would be the 'grudge matches' on said continent?" Good question. Let's ask Paul Doyle.
44 mins: GREECE SCORE!!! It's 1-1 as Salpingidis pings one in low from the right edge of the penalty area and it's deflected off Haruna up and over the diving goalkeeper's flailing arm. The ball broke back to Salpingidis and he hit it powerfully. That is Greece's first ever World Cup goal - and they deserved it too.
45+1mins: Nigeria have a free-kick 40 yards from goal and it's their first attack since they had a man sent off. Taiwo sends another scudder in that this time Tzorvas is able to flop down on and clutch to his chest. Nigeria in truth look shell-shocked. they had been coasying in this game.
45+2mins: HALF TIME. Nigeria have an odd team huddle in the centre circle as the whistle goes, not sure what the manager will think about that, but they must be furious with themselves. Still, it's turned into a decent game now. I'll be back in ten minutes with more.
3.58pm: Colin Greer explains: "I just find it hard to believe that an Egyptian would want Algeria to do well - just because they're African." Neil Hutchison points out :"Biggest grudge match has to be Algeria v Egypt, surely? The Algerian fans rioted on the Champs Elysees in Paris after they WON against Egypt." Alasdair Simpson adds: "Re: African grudge matches: Nigeria vs Cameroon would be one. And Nigeria vs. Ghana. In fac, pretty much any African nation versus Nigeria would be a grudge match because Nigerians have an irritating (and often misplaced) sense of effortless superiority. And this is coming from a Nigerian." Is Alasdair Simpson a traditional Nigerian name? Just asking.
4.00pm: Tom Cleal on evil looks: "My favourite evil looks this tournament have been the Nigerian Goalkeepers to his defenders, and of course Beckham's lovely mug. I reckon the Nigerian keeper clips his defenders round the ears in the dressing room if they've been naughty." Jim Lewis asks: "Just wondering if you lot at the guardian have done a sweepstake for the world cup? I organised ours at work and got... Greece. Yeah, thanks for that!" I got Serbia. Not much point really is there, unless you get one of about three teams. And Michael Dear says on German TV Oliver Khan has just "explained using slow-motion footage why Nigeria's free kick was not necessarily the goalkeeping error that it looked to be at first glance - the poor keeper had to expect that the Nigerian in front of him would head the ball, hence the strange reaction." He would say that.
4.01pm: Interesting note from Andrew Thomas: "In answer to Colin Greer, a bit of anecdotal evidence: prior to the game, 5live had an interview with two Zambian gentlemen who were attending the game. They were doing so on the basis that, since Zambia had failed to qualify, they were supporting the Nigerians. They seemed happy to do so, and there was no sense that such treachery might undermine their credibility as Zambia fans. Perhaps us Europeans could
learn a thing or two from such a mature attitude to football? And might I just add, as a proud Welshman - COME ON ALGERIA!"
4.03pm: Paul Doyle says: "Senegal v Gambia. Nigeria v Ghana. Plus of course Eritrea v Ethiopia."
46 mins: Nigeria kick off and Haruna amazingly has a shot right from the kick off, and not a bad one, the ball floating just over the bar. Bizarre opening though.
47 mins: Greece on the attack straIght away through Vyntra on the right, but his decent cross is headed horribly over the bar by Karagounis. That was bizarrely malcoordinated. By the way Obasi has come on for Odemwingie at half time. He's a tricky winger. And this just in: "No Alasdair Simpson isn't a traditional Nigerian name - good spot. I just shorten it to make life easier for my colleagues. My full name is Alasdair Osondu Kelechi Nnawuihe-Simpson. Which is at least 50% authentic Nigerian." Ah ha.
49 mins: Some pressure at last from Nigeria and they win a corner, but it comes to nothing as Shittu is penalised for pushing. Karagounis has a shot from 40 yards that flies over and both teams are at it, shooting on sight. Yaser muses: "Even though I am rooting for an African team to do well in this world cup, that is only for my own selfish reasons; I am hoping that we get an extra African spot for the next world cup so that Egypt might finally qualify! But with that said, there is NO WAY I am cheering for Algeria." Take that Wales.
51 mins: A lull after all this rampant attacking. But wait here come Greece with the mercurial Samaras, but Tsoridis is robbed and Yakubu breaks very swiftly for Nigeria. Taiwo crosses but his ball in is absolutely horrible and he also seems to have injured himself in the process. He's flat on his back holding his groin and grimacing wildly. Armoured Dillon wonders:"Did Wales get a bye into the second round of this World Cup? Some teams are into their second match already in this tournament and I haven't seen Wales playing any group games yet..."
54 mins: Nigeria are defending with nine men on the pitch. Kyrgiakos rises well and meets Karagounis' cross but his header is greedily clasped by Enyeama. Taiwo is limping away and he's been replaced by Echejile. Marius Roodt writes from SA: "There's nothing wrong with African solidarity. After South Africa I will be rooting for any African side in this tournament. And Since South Africa is very unlikely to be making it to the second round, I'll probably end up supporting Ghana or Ivory Coast, probably the two African sides with the best chance of making through to the second round."
57 mins: Lovely thumping tackle by Obasi on Katsouranis. That's what Nigeria need. Lovely to see a proper tackle going in with no free kick given too. I love a tackle.
59 mins: Amazing scenes here, out of nothing. Free kick to Greece by the corner flag and eventually the ball breaks to Gekas, but his shot is brilliantly saved by Enyeama at popint blank range: then Nigeria break the length of the field, Yakubu is in on goal but Tzorvas saves well, the ball breaks to Obasi and he misses an open goal, shanking it wide from an angle. Lovely sweeping break by the nine men. Surely they won't get a better chance than that.
61 mins: Greece strike back with a wild shanked shot from Samaras. Nigeria get back down the other end and Yakubu's cross is just too high for Etuhu. Quite open this now. On Wales, Ian Burch sympathises "Didn't they get drawn in the group of death with Graggy Island, Rugged Island and Iran?". And Nath Jones hits back: "I've missed a bit of the MBM through 'doing some work' - where did this Wales-baiting come from? It's usually a sign that England aren't playing very we... oh, sorry."
64 mins: Still Greece having most of the play here with Nigeria looking to break when they can. Lee James wonders: "Is Yakubu now the world-cups leading contender to win the Mark Viduka award for use of ones' unfeasible large bottom as a weapon? I never thought I'd say this but is there any sign of Martins coming on to lend some potency to their attack?" He's certainly packing some shanks back there.
66 mins: Weird watching these two. Greece are doing a really spirited but ultimately unconvincing impersonation of a team who know how to pour forward in attack. And Nigeria are pretending to be comfortable sitting back and craftily breaking. Having said that, really nice little run from Gekas on to Torosidis' cross and a neat header, but some great defending from Yobo puts it behind for a corner. That's followed by a quite amazingly athletic save from Enyeama, leaping to palm away a header that was going into the top corner from I think Karagounis. Great stuff.
70 mins: Still Greece keep coming. Replay of that save and it was from Samaras. Spectacular and a bit show but still needed to get there.
71 mins: GREECE SCORE!!! Oh dear, Enyeama. A shot through a crowd by Karagounis, swerves violently, but Enyeama can only palm it out straight to Torosidis four yards out and all he has to do is poke it in. Shades of Robert Green there, and also no doubt something that will be put down to the ball. Terrible error though either way but credit to Greece: 1-0 down, 2-1 up.
74 mins: Echiejile, who came on as a sub himself on 55 mins is now being substituted. He's pulled his hamstring. Samaras has a shot from distance that flies just wide of the post, then Nigeria break rampantly and Yakubu turns and has a shot that grazes the right hand post. This is a very good name now, and still hard to call. Chris Saville notes: "It's not all bad blood between England and Wales, I managed to get my Plaid Cymru voting girlfriend singing Three Lions on Saturday." A wonderful image and on that note can I remind you that tomorrow's Guardian will carry a full special programme devoted to England v Algeria, for those in the UK (note: includes Wales).
77 mins: Greece have taken the air out of this a bit now, perhaps remembering they have a goal and a man advantage. If they can hang on this will be their best moment in World Cup history. Ninis is coming on for Gekas. He is apparently the future of Greek football, an elusive, jinky attacker (note: not an incredibly defensive sideways-passing midfielder).
80 mins: Lovely whipped all in from the Greek right wing and Smaras can only shin it wildly over the bar. That was a decent chance. Will Davies points out "the play actor involved in Kaita's sending off was Torosidis. Makes it all the more galling now that he just scored. grrr". And Jesse McLure sighs "Every World Cup I pray that Nigeria will not succumb to the sterotype of being naive, ill-disciplined and mentally weak, and every four years, they let me down." Trying to prove otherwise Uche cuts in from the left and whizzes a low shot just past the far post. Nice work. More of it, quick.
83 mins: Nigeria are having more of the ball but it's terribly hard for the 10-men at this stage. Having said that they could commit a few more players forward or they're going out in seven minutes. Ansgar Locke points out "Whats that with the Guardian just for the UK? I'm sitting here in Cork, Ireland and will buy the paper tomorrow." Breaking news: Guardian doubles England World Cup programme sales in Ireland.
87 mins: Nigeria look a little tired here. This game has been all about that sending off, which let me remind you, happened after an incident off the pitch when the ball was dead. How clueless can you get? Still Greece press and Samaras has another shot that flies wide. He is the Maradona of the shot that flies wide.
89 mins: Mow Samaras is booked for a foul on Odia, a horrible lunge at the shins. nigeria pump the resultant free kick into the Greek box but it doesn't get there and Torosidis heads clear. Danny Myers points out: "Nigeria aren't out - any kind of win against Korea and an Argentinian victory against Greece and they go through…Has anyone done that before - lost their first two matches and made significant progress beyond that?" Not sure; also not sure it's going to happen here. They have also lost three players in this match to injury and suspension.
90+1mins: But yes, Nigeria are still in the World Cup even if they lose here, albeit only by a couple of fingernails. Another free kick 45 yards out on the right wing. Uche swings it in but it's a poor ball again and easily headed clear. Alasdair Simpson sighs: "Sucks to be Nigerian right now Barney. Greece were so awful against SK I thought this one was in the bag. Balls. P.s. mad props to Enyeama who has played heroically this World Cup."
90+3mins: Another good save by Enyeama as Tziolis has a shot from 25 yards a low fizzer that the keeper palms for a corner. Greece are keeping the ball, but wait, Samaras beats two men and shoots from actually on the bye-line into the side-netting. Very ambitious, that.
90+4 mins: FULL TIME And there we are. A great moment for Greece as they win 2-1, albeit aided by a moment of fecklessness from their opponents. Nigeria were winning this game until the sending off. Two slightly fortunate goals after that, both helped by deflections and/or bad goalkeeping, but they deserved to win on the balance of play. This group will go down to the wire now. That's all from me. Thanks for all your emails. Barney

He lived in our vicinity during the early part of the 1800's. And yes, he planted thousands and thousands of apple trees. Up until just a few years ago, some of the descendants of those apple trees were still alive. At this point in time, I am unsure if any are still living.
Today, Mr. Kerry and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful, late summer weather. We went to a rummage sale (the best I've ever been to!), grazed at Sam's Club, and enjoyed a classic car show and ice cream social at a small country church.
But, in between all of that, we visited the restored blockhouse that our community is famous for.
Restored Mansfield Blockhouse
South Park on Brinkerhoff Avenue
There used to be twin blockhouses that sat in the middle of town, where our square is now. Many preservation efforts have brought it to where it stands today.
This weekend marks the event that Johnny Appleseed is famous for in our area. During the War of 1812, Ohio was on edge. There were a few Indian skirmishes, as well as the famous Battle of Lake Erie, won by Oliver Hazard Perry.
But, this part of Ohio didn't see much of the War's happenings. Until...the murder of Levi Jones, a local shopkeeper. The residents were just sure that Indians were planning an attack, for along with the Americans and the British, they were the third players in the War. Johnny got along quite well with them.
Johnny ran for reinforcements. He reported left on the evening/night of 9 August 1813 and ran barefoot to Mount Vernon, a small town 26 miles to the south. He knew the woods intimately. He called upon the residents to come and help, for there would surely be an impending Indian attack. He was the Paul Revere of north central Ohio, for he felt it was his duty to warn and to gather aid.
The attack never came. Rumor has it that the Indians had laid siege upon the town.
Johnny lived in our area for many years following this event before moving westward to Indiana. He later died in Fort Wayne.
Now, why do I bring this up? Because sometimes we need to explore the area right around us to gain an appreciation for the early settlers, their lives, their joys, and their fears. In this case, an important part of history is right in our back yard.

I'm going to show you how to write a module which can be used to tell the program which number hasn't been used.
The module should work something like this;
It has a main(path, FileName) function which asks the caller to pass it where the files are stored and what the name of the file is (without the number on the end of it). When this is passed to the module this should happen;
1. The module tests to see if the path exists
2. If the path exists, it begins a while loop to only stop when
done = True
3. In the while loop, the program will start a 'for' loop to go through and test if the File/folder name with the number on the end exists using the os module.
4. If the file/folder with a number on the end exists (e.g. Name1),
the module will add 1 to a variable which is keeping track of how many numbers it has checked.
5. If the file/folder name with a number on the end doesn't exist, it stops all of the loops and returns the number it was up to back to the caller. (e.g. 2 as in Name2 doesn't exist).
6. If the first path it tests doesn't exist, it returns an Error
So, coded out it should look something like this;
import os def Main(path, FileName): MaxNumb = 100#sets the maximum number to be searched for. if os.path.exists(path+"\\"+FileName): done = False Num = 1#the file number it has check up to while not done: for i in range(0, MaxNumb): #starts the for loop TestNum = str(Num) #Makes Num a string TestFile = os.path.exists(path+"\\"+FileName+TestNum) #Changes the file name to check for each time if TestFile == True: Num = Num + 1 #Adds 1 to the number var. if TestFile == False: done = True return Num #sends the caller the current Num var else: return "File does not exist!" #Sends the caller an error
Ok so now lets try this module and see if it works.
Either copy the code above and save it into a file or download the attached file and copy it to "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages"
(Python folder may be different in different versions of Python).
Then find somewhere on your computer and make a folder(call it whatever you want). Then inside of that folder make three new folders;
Name, Name1 and Name2.
When all this is done, open up an interactive Python window and import the module (I called mine FileNumber)
>>> Import FileNumber
>>> Number = FileNumber.Main('C:\Users\Eric\Documents\Python', 'Name')
>>> print Number
>>> 3
This means that you do not have a folder called Name3. That is what should happen if the module doesn't have an error. This is what the output will look like if an error occurs:
>>> Import FileNumber
>>> Number = FileNumber.Main('C:\Users\Eric\Documents\Python', 'Name')
>>> print Number
>>> File does not exist!
That's how you make a file numbering module!
This was my first tutorial so any suggestions or constructive criticism is welcomed! Thanks.

JLL's latest research on Human Experience, explores how people engage with an organisation though the workplace – the office. It also highlights the factors that enhance productivity and organisational commitment which though three key pillars: engagement, empowerment and fulfilment.
According to statistics South Africa's latest Quarterly Employment Statistics, approximately R196 billion is spent on formal sector salaries and wages per month in the country. It is a significant investment and expenditure on labour and in human capital which businesses hope to make profits from. However, there are unintended barriers to office productivity which means a lot of this money is lost. Add to that the millions spent on office accommodation and equipment which may or may not serve their intended purpose, we are left with untapped potential.
Productivity is one of the most important benefits of employing labour or human capital in an organisation. Whilst every organisation measures productivity in their own way, employees seldom get the opportunity to express their own level of engagement to managers and the organisation. Despite what the balance sheet is saying: what do employees say about their level of productivity in the workplace and how can this be improved?
The Human Experience Survey focuses a lot on employee's perceptions of engagement, a pillar which speaks directly to employee productivity. In the South African survey results 48.0% of respondents felt completely engaged in their work. Although notably higher than the global average of just 40%, the results suggest that there is room for improvement. It implies that more than half of employees feel that THEY could do better within the workplace and for their organisations. Asked what could improve their level of engagement in the workplace, employee's revealed some unexpected responses: co-working spaces, childcare facilities and health/wellness facilities were ranked highest as the three most impactful on workplace engagement. Note that two out of the top three are completely unrelated to work itself, but point to non-work factors that can have an impact employee engagement in the workplace and reduce the factors that may create distractions during working hours.
A lot of resources are utilised in recruiting great talent in the corporate world, and once staff is employed within an organisation, it is always in the best interest to get the most out of them. The office space, location and neighbouring facilities can enhance productivity. Engagement fosters a sense of commitment, which drives employees' performance and effectiveness – all benefits to the corporate.
In some cases, improving engagement may imply added expenditure on office and workplace design. In such cases organisation may need to consider if there may be a trade-off between saving on workplace design and optimal human capital productivity?

Samoan Rugby
Samoan manager fined 100 pigs
ESPNscrum Staff

Vaea has been hit with a fine as a result of his World Cup conduct © Getty Images
Samoa's World Cup team manager Tuala Mathew Vaea has been hit with a fine of 100 pigs as a result of allegations concerning his behaviour during the showpiece tournament.
Samoan captain Mahonri Schwalger had previously slammed the team manager accusing him of cutting their allowance and showing disrespect to the players and coach throughout the tournament. "He [Tuala] is hardly at the hotel organising and scheduling our programs for the week, like what a normal team manager would do," Schwalger said. "All the players do not respect him and they would never go and ask him for anything, as they do not trust or believe in him.
"When players call him by his first name he would turn around and reply in a blunt and angry manner as he wanted to be called Tuala."
And as a result of Schwalger's criticism of Vaea, the chief of the team manager's village fined him 2,000 Samoan tala (£530) - the equivalent of 100 sows. "He paid a cash fine of $2000 instead to the village and gave a formal apology that the chiefs of Leauva'a have accepted," Vaifale said. "The title of Tuala has received bad publicity in the media because Tuala Mathew failed to perform some of his duties as the manager for the Manu Samoa."
Vaea has since denied Schwalger's claims but said on local radio: "Samoa, if I have erred in my duty as the team manager, please forgive me."

What would Shakespeare have thought about the things that we take for granted and which he never dreamt of? We all jump in a car at least once a day; we get on a plane and travel at incredible speed from once country to another; we push a button and watch wars being fought thousands of miles away; we watch a play without moving from our armchairs. I could go on forever, outlining all the things we do without giving them a second thought.
Shakespeare regularly commuted between Stratford and London, and each time it would have been a very bumpy journey taking the whole day and possibly longer. We can travel from London to Stratford in about an hour, very comfortably, listening to any music we choose. To listen to music Shakespeare would have had to take the trouble to go the place where the musicians were.
Could he have possibly imagined that we would send people to walk on the moon? That we have landed vehicles on Mars and Titan, sat back and watched moving pictures of their activity there? Even the idea of pictures that hadn't been painted by an artist would have been beyond his imagination.
The technology of his time was strictly mechanical, based on the wheel and operated by manpower. And he had no reason to think it would go beyond that, just as we, with all our electronic miracles, can't imagine what our descendents four hundred years into the future will be taking for granted.
Writers today work on computers with the internet running in the background. Whenever they need a piece of information they just make a couple of clicks and they get it. We are overwhelmed by Shakespeare's knowledge but the truth is that ten-year-old kids have more knowledge than he had. It may be different knowledge but kids have far more knowledge as such.
Shakespeare was well-read but not as well read as the average educated adult is today. He had a few books on his shelf – two history books, a book about classical mythology, a bible, some medieval philosophy – and look what he made of that. All his history plays were based on the stories taken from Raphael Holinshed's Chronicle of English History and the stories he presents in his Roman plays from North's translation of the Roman historian, Plutarch. Look what he made of those two sources!
Try and imagine yourself without the internet. Try and imagine what your great great great great great grandchildren will take for granted. You can't. As Hamlet says: 'There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.' Shakespeare didn't know what they were but he knew that they are there even though we couldn't begin to imagine them.

"Probably the best deal going on a high end subwoofer." "From its ungodly output capabilities, true 20Hz extension, and ability to play clean and distortion free, the PB12-Plus DSP has truly earned the right to be called a "subwoofer." "This superbly-built sub includes quality amplification, a sweet-sounding 12-inch driver and plenty of adjustability."

The regulations also apply to any system placed on the market in conjunction with PPE for its connection to another external, additional device.Protective equipment is expected to be safe and fit for its stated purpose. Manufacturers, distributors, legislators and users alike demand this minimum expectation. The industry-wide commitment to responsible manufacturing is supported and governed by the Personal Protective Equipment Directive (89/686/EEC). Before purchasing any PPE, specifiers should consult the "Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992". These contain 14 regulations for employers to consider as part of their pre-purchase risk assessment. Purchasing to a standard does not necessarily satisfy all of the requirements of Regulation 6 – Assessment of PPE. The manufacturer must ensure that their products conform to either the relevant harmonised European standard, as transposed into a national (BS) or international (BS ISO) standard, or a technical specification deemed to be appropriate by a Notified Body, to meet the Basic Health and Safety requirements of the Directive.BSI is actively involved in eight main areas of CE marking, Type Examination, Article 10, (test and certification) of PPE, namely hearing protection, respiratory protection, eye protection, head protection, protective footwear, protective gloves, protective clothing, and high visibility garments. Where required by the Directive the ongoing quality checking of the products, Article 11A or 11B, is also undertaken.In addition to the CE marking activities, an independent test service is provided for products that do not fall within the scope of the Directive and Kitemark® quality assurance schemes are operated for many types of PPE.

Beggar Recipes
Roasted Pumpkin Filled Crepe Recipe (Beggar's Purse)
For my husband Lulu's birthday, the three of us took a few days off to visit Paris. My baby Aria is already having a blast, enjoying every bit of Parisian life so far. We arrived last Friday and have already had time to go to museums and wander through Parisian markets. We noticed that Halloween has become increasingly popular in France, and decorated pumpkins are available everywhere. Of course, pumpkins are just as much fun to eat as they are to draw on, so I picked one up and used it to make dinner.
To prepare this recipe I roasted a pumpkin, gathered the pulp and stuffed it into a crêpe. The filling also contains a little Saint Marcellin cheese and pine nuts. I love cooking with this ripe cheese; when warm, it has a robust mushroom-y, earthy flavor.
Give this recipe a try, and you'll (almost) feel like you're in the City of Lights. I'll take lots of pictures while I'm here and will share them on my Twitter and Facebook pages, so if you haven't already, follow / like Pham Fatale for all the updates!

Ratatouille Stuffed Beggar's Purse Recipe
I've made beggar's purses using crêpes as wraps in the past. They look incredibly elegant, but are not difficult at all to make. You could also simply fill the crêpes and fold them in half but I thought tying the purses with parsley stems was a nicer touch for Valentine's Day.
This time, I filled them with ratatouille and Brie cheese. To the traditional ratatouille ingredients, I added sweet potatoes for a little firmer consistency. If you're not serving this to vegetarians as I am, the beggar's purse would make a great companion to steamed fish or a stuffed salmon filet.

Aumoniere Recipe (Beggar's Purse)
Aumonière (also known as beggar's purse) is the name of an appetizer made of a filled crêpe bound in such a way that it resembles a drawstring purse. The tie is usually made of chives. I made the filling with a combination of roasted orange bell pepper, kumquat jelly (I'll post the recipe soon), sweet marjoram, lemon thyme, onion chives, non-pareil capers, cream cheese, blue cheese, lemon and pistachio oil.
I tested out the recipe today in preparation for Mother's Day next week. The dish is ultra simple to make and can easily be assembled by a child. It's a wonderful way to get your kids involved in the kitchen and let them prepare a special meal that they will enjoy as well.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Among the stocks that could see active trade in Wednesday's session are Boyd Gaming Corp., HollyFrontier Corp. and Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc.
Retail-sector results are the clear standouts in Thursday's earnings calendar, featuring Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT, -0.30%, Bon-Ton Stores Inc. BONT, Dollar Tree Inc. DLTR, -2.00%, Shoe Carnival Inc. SCVL, -1.50%, Advance Auto Parts Inc. AAP, -1.03% and GameStop Corp. GME, -2.14%, while a handful from the apparel segment — Gap Inc. GPS, -3.01%, Stein Mart Inc. SMRT, -3.07%, Ross Stores Inc. ROST, +0.21%, New York & Co. NWY, Aeropostale Inc. ARO, -28.89%, Buckle Inc. BKE, -2.72%, Zumiez Inc. ZUMZ, -0.33% and Children's Place Retail Stores Inc. PLCE, -4.91% — are scheduled to report as well. Perry Ellis International Inc. PERY, Prestige Brands Holdings Inc. PBH, +1.52%, Salesforce.com CRM, +0.73%, Intuit Inc. INTU, +1.44%, Autodesk Inc. ADSK, +1.29%, Applied Materials Inc. AMAT, -2.26%, Brocade Communications Systems Inc. BRCD, Precision Castparts Corp. PCP, +0.00% and Quality Systems Inc. QSII also are on deck.
Late Wednesday, Boyd Gaming BYD, +1.00% struck a deal to acquire privately held Peninsula Gaming LLC for $200 million in cash and the assumption of about $1.2 billion in debt. The acquisition of the Dubuque, Iowa-based casino operator brings with it five properties located in Kansas, Iowa and Louisiana. "The Peninsula properties are a strong fit for us," said Keith Smith, president and chief executive of Las Vegas-based Boyd Gaming, in a statement. "We anticipate this transaction will be immediately accretive to earnings and significantly increase our free cash flow." The transaction's expected to be completed by year's end. Terms also call for Peninsula to include a note valued at about $144 million.
Continuing its recent pattern of returning money to stockholders, HollyFrontier's board declared a special cash dividend of 50 cents a share. It's payable June 5 to holders of record as of May 29 and marks the fourth such special dividend since last August, according to the Dallas-based energy company HFC, -2.99%. In addition, HollyFrontier's board approved a 50% increase in the company's quarterly dividend, to 15 cents a share, payable July 3 to holders of record as of June 12. This is the third dividend increase in less than a year, in the aftermath of the merger of Holly Corp. and Frontier Oil Corp. last July. Total dividends declared since then represent a yield of more than 8% on an annualized basis, the company said. Including stock repurchases, HollyFrontier said it's returned $650 million of capital to its stockholders since the merger.
In reporting "mixed" financial results for the 16-week first quarter ended April 15, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers RRGB, +1.95% sounded a note of caution on customer counts for the Greenwood Village, Colo.-based casual dining chain. "Although we began the year with strong sales, we were disappointed by the extent of guest traffic softening in the second half of the quarter," said CEO Steve Carley in the earnings release. In updating the company's outlook for the 53-week fiscal year ending Dec. 31, Red Robin said it expects to generate growth of "up to 1%" in comparable restaurant net sales from the previous year. Management also noted that a 1% variation in projected guest counts would have an estimated effect of 25 cents a share for earnings.
Along with reporting higher profit but relatively flat revenue for the second quarter ended April 15, San Diego-based Jack in the Box Inc. JACK, -0.49% forecast a slowdown in year-over-year growth in same-store for its namesake and Qdoba restaurant chains in the third quarter. For the full fiscal year, the San Diego-based company projected earnings in a range of $1.28 to $1.50 a share as well as operating earnings of $1 to $1.15 a share. Both profit forecasts exclude restructuring charges anticipated in the third and fourth quarters.
Baltimore-based asset manager Legg Mason Inc. LM, +0.83% priced $650 million of seven-year senior notes, which will bear interest at an annual rate of 5.5%, paid twice a year beginning Nov. 21. The company said net proceeds will be used, along with cash on hand and other borrowings, to buy back $1.25 billion of 2.5% contingent convertible senior notes held by a fund managed by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. LP. The buyback will result in a net reduction in outstanding debt, Legg Mason said in announcing details of a new capital plan earlier Wednesday.
The board of Wabtec Corp. WAB, +0.38% voted to increase by 67% the company's quarterly dividend, to 5 cents a share. The new dividend's payable Aug. 31 to holders of record as of Aug. 17, the Wilmerding, Pa.-based provider of products for the railroad industry said.
Along with reporting results for the fourth quarter ended March 31, Spartan Stores Inc. SPTN, +0.20% said its board approved a 23% hike in its quarterly cash dividend, to 8 cents a share. The new dividend's payable June 15 to holders of record as of June 1, the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based company said. As of May 15, Spartan Stores said it had more than 21.6 million common shares outstanding.
The board of candle and accessories company Blyth Inc. BTH, -7.91% approved a 2-for-1 stock split, with additional common shares to be distributed June 15 to holders of record as of June 1. The split will increase Blyth's shares outstanding to 17.2 million, the Greenwich, Conn.-based company said.
The board of Watts Water Technologies Inc. WTS, +0.61% authorized the No. Andover, Mass.-based company to buy back up to 2 million shares of Class A common stock. Repurchases will be made from time to time in the open market or via privately negotiated transactions. In a statement, CEO David Coghlan said that the company believes Watts Water stock is undervalued and that it's in stockholders' interest that shares be bought back to offset dilution associated with employee stock plans. As of April 30, Watts Water said, there were nearly 29.8 million Class A common shares outstanding. The buyback program will be funded using the company's available cash.

On Wednesday night, Tom Cruise and Jimmy Fallon shattered a lot of of glass while playing a new "Tonight Show" game called "Face Breakers."
But before the action, the "Edge of Tomorrow" star revealed that he sees a large amount of films on a monthly basis.
"I watch about a movie a day," Cruise said. " I grew up on movies, then I grew up to make movies."
Cruise added that when he bought his first apartment in New York he didn't buy drapes or other household furnishings. Instead, he said he had "the biggest television I could get with all the systems like laser disk and VHS."
Fallon added that instead of buying a car he decided to buy a laser disc player thinking that the device would take off in the future.
"I really lost out on that one," Fallon said before revealing his favorite laser disk: Cruise's 1986 film "Top Gun."
Jimmy shows @TomCruise his favorite Laser Disc from his personal collection! #FallonTonightpic.twitter.com/dx6hHxC89f

Finally, Fallon and Cruise played a game of "Face Breakers." They took turns throwing footballs at a wall of glass painted with their faces, and the first to smash all of his opponent's faces wins.
Cruise won the showdown to make up for his disappointing performance in a "Late Night" game called "Egg Roulette" that left him with a scalp full of egg shells.
Watch the showdown above and the interview below.

The Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) is an eight-bed unit equipped with specialized EEG, video and audio recording equipment.
Patients, each in a private room, have EEG electrodes applied to their scalp for continuous EEG recording.
The electrodes are then connected to a video/EEG monitor that allows technicians to continuously watch the patient. When a seizure occurs, a member of the medical staff will enter the room to check on the patient and possibly do further epilepsy testing. A camera will record all activity and allow us to see what happens during a seizure. Nurses and other staff members are specially trained in responding to seizures and ensuring safety.

It's quite obviously the middle of SWOTVAC right now because here I am, sitting in front of my computer screen, pinning everything and everything I like on Pinterest. Fashion week and too much time spent procrastinating and checking out on the online shopping world has really gotten the better of me. Sad for my wallet, but hooray to pretty new things. Amongst all the pin-able things I've been pinning, here's a selection of what I am heads over heels in love with. Welcome to my now-organised previously-scatterbrain shopping list. It's going to be the first of many ♡
Animal bags (L-R, T-B): The Rodnik Band Quilted Snappy Fish Bag // The Rodnik Band Shark Bag // Peter Jensen Rabbit Backpack // ASOS Ladybird Across Body Bag // The Rodnik Band Snappy Fish Bag // Lulu Guinness Lily Cat Shopper//ASOS Suede Owl Across Body Bag
Animal bags have been popping up quite a bit lately and I am a huge fan of this super quirky trend. As I say, give me anything a little bit strange and I'll instantly be in love. The Lulu Guinness shopper is on my mind as being my staple uni tote (still sitting on the fence but those pleading cat-eyes are really convincing). I am crazy about the owl and rabbit bags. The ladybird is super cute but I can't have them all and I really couldn't tell you how many hours or minutes I've been staring at The Rodnik Band's fish bags. Ever since London, I have been falling more and more in love with UK brands. I have tweeted about these bags, shared them on Facebook and told every friend who listens. They're such a cute little piece which you could just sling over a simple dress and -bam-you have an exciting outfit because you're carrying a fish for a bag. How great is that? I've had all of these bags in my 'saved items' basket for too long now and the only thing that's stopping me is that, I have no idea which fish bag to get. Black or red or..the shark?
(By the way that's a serious question, please let me know below or I'll be forever stuck)
Pastel shoes (L-R/T-B): ASOS PERFECT Lilac Patent Heels // ASOS POPPET Suede Yellow Heels //ASOS PAPARAZZI Pastel Green Metal Heels // ASOS SIENNA Leather Cross Heels // See by Chloe Mary Jane Flats // See by Chloe Colour Block Flats // See by Chloe Lace Up Wedge Sneakers//ASOS MACAROON Lace Ups // Miss KG Annalise Bow Platforms
My shoe collection used to always be a mix of black and tan brown, with the occasional pop of white or grey. Recently, I've been really into adding colour and print to my shoe collection. Aside from acquiring an overly floral pair of lace up boots which I wore too many times during LMFF, I've also taken a liking to pastel coloured heels. The mint green shoe with the metal heel on the top right row – I have these in a lovely peachy colour. And it is that peachy pair of heels that started my little addiction for pastel shoes! I am currently in love with pastel yellow, mint green and lilac. Also, I'm also not supposed to be, but I am, in love with a certain pair of pastel pink See by Chloe lace up wedge sneakers. I really can't keep my eyes off them and I'm going to have to stop writing about them now because the more I write, the more I convince myself I need them. They are, though, completely beautiful in that maybe once I finish my blog post I'll muster the courage to make another impulse purchase.
Little gold rings: Jacquie Aiche gold plated rings
There's something quite delicate about little gold rings that you wear everyday and never take off. They're perfect for layering with other rings and seem like the accessory for whimsical sort of outfits filled with pastel and floral. Australia my not have officially launched into Winter yet.. but my mind has officially skipped to Spring as all I can think about are flowers and picnics. I've been on the hunt for something like this and the turquoise stone and gold bird rings have really caught my eye.
Buckle boots (L-R/T-B): ASOS APPLE Ankle Boots//Minimarket Iselin Leather Buckle Shoe //Minimarket Balder Leather Wedge Buckle Boot // Topshop ACTON Metal Buckle Boots // Topshop ADONIS Buckle Boots // Park Lane Leather Ankle Boot
You know you're into buckles on shoes when you buy three pairs of buckle boots in an extremely short space of time. I was just casually browsing Topshop online the night before my trip to UK when I came across a certain pair of Topshop ACTON buckle boots which got me into this craze. The first thing I did when I got to the UK was (unsurprisingly) head to Oxford St to go shopping (and to buy a UK sim card for my phone). This pair of buckle boots was one of my first purchases in London and were, as I discovered later, not the last pair of buckle boots I was going to buy. A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled across the Minimarket Iselin triple buckle boots on sale for much less than half the price. Now this was so highly enticing, complete with three buckles (hehe), that I literally bought them right then and there. Uh oh. And then what happened? Last week I was taking a 'study break' when I came across the Park Lane double buckle ankle boots. I had actually come across a similar pair of Park Lane buckle boots a couple of years ago but had no idea where I could buy the brand. Alas, the stars have since aligned. Today, I now have a pair of single buckle, double buckle and triple buckle boots. The only thing that I have got my eyes on now is a pair of vintage quadruple buckle boots I once saw on Etsy but weren't in my size. I'm not going to stop until I find a similar pair!
Statement belts (T-B/L-R): ASOS Eye Waist Belt// ASOS Chain Gold Metal Buckle Waist Belt // ASOS Heart Shape Chain Belt //ASOS Pastel Waist Belt // Sonia By Sonia Rykiel Bow Belt // ASOS Plate And Spike Detail Waist Belt // ASOS Oui Non Waist Belt
Aside from the problem that hardly any of the belts I buy fit me (I always have to go to the local shopping centre and get extra holes punched in), I love belts. A few of these statement belts are currently in my 'saved items' basket/in my wardrobe/on the way to me as we speak. The oui/non belt is one of my favourite belts – the fact that it's in French makes everything just a little bit sweeter. I've been pondering over the pastel belt for ages now and the statement eye belt is really shouting "I am strange, buy me" at me right now. I first saw this heart & chain belt in London & wore it in my sample sale look. I have been dreaming about it ever since. Hehe, maybe it's about time I make it mine.

Microfinance in the districts of DjiboutiJul 1, 2009
|Aicha (left) in her fabric and boubou gown store with Filsan (right)
It is 9 a.m. in an alley in Balbala, an immense area on the outskirts of Djibouti City. People hurry to and fro in front of the shop run by Nima Moussa Warfa, as they embark on a shopping expedition, engaged in a quest for rice, pasta, flour, and other basic foodstuffs.
Aicha Doualeh greets people searching for fine fabrics and boubou gowns of all colours that have been imported from Dubai and India. Despite the heat, there are many people visiting the flea-market in the middle of the morning.
Lacking access to traditional financing arrangements, the businesses run by Nima and Aicha have flourished even though they are still quite small. This is why, in order to ensure the success of their venture and sometimes simply in order to make ends meet, these two women rely on the microcredits which they obtain from the credit union.
Thanks to the support of UNDP, the credit union opened in January 2009 and its personnel received training. This assistance was delivered through UNDP's programme of support for the Djibouti Social Development Agency, the national entity in charge of implementing the national poverty reduction strategy.
|Credit union employees
Formed through the consolidation of 15 microfinance institutions, the credit union had about 1,600 customers at the time of its inception. Six months later, in June 2009, the customer base had risen to 3,041, of whom 90 percent were women, with a repayment rate of 98 percent.
One of these customers, Nima, points to a small house in sheet metal across the way from her shop. "I used to live over there but as I borrowed money and as my business grew, I was able to build this house," she explains, showing a stone dwelling nearby. She started out with a loan of 30,000 francs (US$170) and, having proven her ability to save and her creditworthiness, she will soon borrow 500,000 francs (US$2,825).
Nima has a number of other projects under way. She is in the process of getting another house built that she will rent out in the PK12 district on the outskirts of the city. Not without a degree of pride, she shows a sewing machine that she bought for herself and with which she makes garments in response to orders placed with her by people living in the district. She is also in a position to meet the needs of her loved ones; her young son is confined to home. "Caring for him is something I also do. He is ill because he was in a fire," she adds.
|With assistance from the credit union, Nima purchased a sewing machine to make garments for fellow residents in her district.
This year, UNDP renewed the programme with the aim of pursuing institutional, technical, and managerial capacity building efforts among microfinance institutions, including the credit union. This initiative directly benefits the poorest and most vulnerable members of society. Microfinance gives these people access to the resources they need to engage in their business activities and to raise their standard of living.

Designing Ecological Habitats: Creating a Sense of Place
Four Keys to Sustainable Communities Series
Permanent Publications, 286 pages
ISBN 9781856230612, 7.5″ x 9.5″, 2014
An anthology of tried-and-tested solutions addressing climate change, habitat destruction, population growth, and resource depletion.
Designing Ecological Habitats is the third volume in the Four Keys to Sustainable Communities series and is an important and eloquent exploration of humanity's limits to growth, addressing the problems arising from climate change, habitat destruction, population growth, and resource depletion.
This is not a book of theoretical ideas but an anthology of solutions, of experience, tried and tested, from experts all over the world. The designs and practices included in this book present a vision for the future, already tested out in ecovillages, sustainable communities, and projects in many countries. These are practical low-carbon solutions that provide significant improvements in the quality of life.
Designing Ecological Habitats is an anthology of work by writers who have created, built, lived in, and thrived in eco-developments, and addresses green building, food resources, appropriate technology, and restoring nature.
"By understanding the process of creating integrated ecological designs, we also make explicit the process of creating integrated social and economic systems. We reconnect with the true meaning of ecology that comes from the Greek word oikos, meaning 'home' or 'a place to live.' Humanity's greatest challenge is to ensure that planet Earth can support human life far into future centuries not only by adapting to climate change but also by mitigating it."—from the Foreword by Mark Richmond, director, Division of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development, UNESCO Education Sector.
About the Four Keys To Sustainable Communities Series
The Four Keys represent the four dimensions of sustainable design—the Worldview, the Social, the Ecological, and the Economic. The series was completed in 2012 and is now available in the U.S. for the first time. This series is endorsed by UNESCO and is an official contribution to the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development. The other books of the series are Beyond You and Me, Gaian Economics, and The Song of the Earth.

You'll find lots of Pantry Basics here at An Oregon Cottage. What are Pantry Basics? It's simply the term I use for items that are in everybody's pantry or fridge door. The things I never once thought about making…I just threw them in the shopping cart on a regular basis. I started years ago making freezer jam instead of buying jars of it because lots of people I knew made it, too. But things like mayo and ketchup? Never occurred to me and no one I knew made these things.
When did things change for me? Well, not overnight, and not all at once. It all started with chocolate syrup– you know, the kind in the brown bottle. Some of you may remember that my husband has made us cappuccinos every morning for about 14 years and he drizzles about a teaspoon of syrup on mine. Not too chocolaty, but enough to make it special.
Then I started reading labels and making more things from scratch (like breads). One day at the store I picked up the familiar bottle and decided to read the ingredients. Ugh! There were so many, in such small type I could barely read it (yes, I was starting to need glasses- geeze, bring that up, won't you?). Wasn't it just chocolate, sugar, and water? Why did they need all these other things?
And in case you're wondering here they are in order: HFCS, Corn syrup, sugar, water, cocoa, potassium sorbate, salt, mono- and diglycerides, polysorbate 60, xanthum gum, and artificial vanillin- sounds yummy, huh?
Turns out, yes you can make chocolate syrup yourself and it's easy, quick, and frugal. Not to mention that it has only five ingredients: sugar, cocoa, water, salt, and real vanilla. I like my recipe because it uses less sugar and more cocoa than other recipes I've found, and I like a darker-chocolate type syrup. You know what else I discovered? It's quicker to make it myself than going to the store when we run out. And no waiting for the next shopping trip. Bonus!
That was years ago and now I regularly question what's in my pantry and fridge and try to find ways to make it myself if there's a compelling reason to. Mustards and hot sauces are about the only things left I buy in this category because they usually have really simple ingredients and are pretty inexpensive.
Here's a list of some of our favorite Pantry Basics (you can find the complete list under the Kitchen button in the navigation bar above- and I will keep adding to it!):
Hot Cocoa Mix (to make with only boiling water)
Ketchup (starting with tomato paste which makes it super easy)
Salad Dressings:
What pantry items do you make now?
Stay tuned later today for the easiest way to make freezer jam. It just happens to be the freshest-tasting, lowest sugar jam that and is the quickest- love it when that happens!

Barcelona is undoubtedly one of the world's most dynamic and stylish cities, with buildings and art to die for. It's party time in summer, in the centre and on the nearby Catalan coast, but the city fizzes all year round to the beat of cutting edge food, fashion, style, music and good vibes. Go and you might never want to leave.
Souvenirs are everywhere you look in Barcelona, so if you're after a Gaud� T-shirt or an FC Barcelona scarf you won't exactly be stuck for choice. For something more substantial, meanwhile, shopping boulevards like Passeig de Gr�cia are home to large numbers of designer stores, while the creative El Born district is a great option for picking up items from quirkier independent outlets. On La Rambla, the food stalls at Boqueria Market (Rambla 85-89) are where to head for fresh produce, and not far away the large El Corte Ingl�s department store (Pla�a de Catalunya 14) draws plenty of interest during its sale periods.
Food & Drink
At times it can feel as though Barcelona is permanently engaged in one long mealtime. The prevalence of tapas (and their larger counterparts, racions) means that food is rarely out of mind, as does the local predilection for eating late – it's by no means unusual for people to arrive at restaurants after 10pm. Try Quimet i Quimet (Carrer del Poeta Cabanyes 25) for authentic tapas, or head to the Michelin-starred Cinc Sentits (Carrer d'Aribau 58) for the restaurant often touted as Barcelona's best. For an atmospheric drink, call in at Bar Pesca Salada (Carrer Cera 32), located in an old fish store and serving 24 brands of gin.
The big pre-Lent fiesta, with masked balls, musical parades and copious amounts of food and drink. Colourful costumes and packed bars are the order of the day – proceedings end with the symbolic "burial of the sardine".
Sant Joan
23 June
A bedlam of firecrackers, beach bonfires and fun-seeking locals, the Sant Joan festival takes place each 23 June – although the days preceding it are often lively too. Cava is traditionally the tipple of choice.
Festival del Grec
Barcelona's largest highbrow cultural festival gives a public platform for dance, music, circus and theatre. It takes its name from the Teatre Grec on Montju�c, which is still one of the key venues.
A three-day offering at the altar of electronic music and new media, this hugely renowned gathering bills itself as an "International Festival of Advanced Music and New Media Art". It hosts thousands of creative professionals, as well as plenty of DJ-based partying.
Festes de la Merc�
Held in honour of Barcelona's patron saint, the week-long Festes de la Merc� is Barcelona's biggest annual festival: giants are paraded through the streets, concerts are held and the city as a whole enjoys seven days of firework displays and general merriment.
Unsurprisingly, given the number of visitors it attracts on a year-round basis, Barcelona has a robust hotel scene. There's a wide spectrum of different accommodation options – from the no-frills appeal of the Travelodge Barcelona Poblenou (Carrer de Llacuna 23-24) to the classic five-star stylings of Hotel Arts Barcelona (Carrer Marina 19-21) – and by consequence there's plenty to cater for those on a budget, as well as those in search of luxury. On which note, the five-star Ohla Hotel (Via Laietana 49) is notable as one of the more recent additions to the top-end market, while the nearby Grand Hotel Central (Via Laietana 30) provides four-star comfort.
