These satiny smooth colors can be applied naturally 'i.e. let me slip into something more comfortable" or beautifully layered. The wide range of naked neutrals gives you light highlighters as well as brazen bold shades that work to add definition and emphasis. Nude'Tude allows you to dramatically dress up your eyes (if nothing else)!

At the Brandon Family Law Center, we understand how the death of a loved one can be a very traumatic and difficult time for family and friends. It is sometimes very hard to keep your focus, and to understand the tasks necessary to secure and transfer property or deal with creditors.
Attorney Mary L. Greenwood and paralegal Linda McDermott, FRP, have over 40 years of combined experience in the probate field, and we can help you to understand and work through the probate process.
Choosing The Right Types Of Florida Estate Administration
There are three main types of estate administration in Florida. The first is formal administration, for estates of any value. However, for estates valued under $75,000, summary administration may be an option. And for very small estates, there is disposition of personal property without administration.
We work efficiently and effectively to help you identify the type of probate you will need to file, the kind of property that belongs in a Florida probate estate, and to identify those assets that can be transferred outside of probate because a beneficiary is designated, or the property is exempt from probate. Most importantly, we will help you keep costs and fees at a minimum.
The probate court in Florida also presides over legal guardianship cases. At Brandon Family Law Center, we can help clients become guardians of property or person or both. We are also experienced in petitions for guardian advocacy and veteran's guardianship. We can help and advise clients on how to complete the annual reports required by the court.

Captain Vere, an old man, is haunted by a moment in his life when he was tested and found wanting.
Scene 1 On board HMS Indomitable, a British man-of-war, during the French wars of 1797
Parties of seamen are at work. A novice seaman collides accidentally with the Bosun and later slips on the deck; the Bosun orders him to be flogged.
A boarding party returns from a passing merchant ship, the Rights o' Man, with three men impressed for naval service. Master-at-Arms John Claggart interviews the men. Only the last, Billy Budd, pleases the officers: he is a strong and enthusiastic sailor whose one defect is an occasional stammer. He bids a joyful welcome to his new life and an impassioned farewell to the Rights o' Man. Misunderstanding his farewell for a revolutionary declaration, the officers are alarmed and order to clear the deck.
Claggart, who is responsible for discipline, is instructed to keep an eye on Billy. He sets his corporal, Squeak, to watch and harass him.
The Novice returns from the flogging. The new recruits, appalled by the sight, are assured by Donald and Dansker that no one can escape his share of punishment. They warn against Claggart while showing their devotion to Captain Vere. Billy is attracted to the goodness of Vere and, along with the other men, swears to die for him if necessary.
Scene 2 Captain Vere's cabin, a week later
Vere is reading alone at night. He sends for two officers to share a drink with him. They discuss the recent naval mutinies at Spithead and the Nore. Vere discounts their fears about Billy's influence on the men, who are heard singing below decks. Another officer arrives to announce that enemy land has been sighted.
Scene 3 Below decks, the same evening
The men are off-duty and singing sea shanties. Billy discovers Squeak meddling with his kit-bag and they fight until Squeak is disarmed. Claggart arrives, has Squeak arrested and congratulates Billy. The men turn in for the night.
Claggart reveals his determination to destroy Billy. He forces the Novice to try and bribe Billy into leading a mutiny.
Billy wakes from a dream of drowning to hear the Novice's proposal. In his fury at the idea of mutiny he can only stammer; the Novice runs away. Dansker realizes that Claggart is behind it all, but Billy refuses to believe him, dreaming instead of promotion.
Scene 1 Some days later
Mist surrounds the ship. Claggart begins telling Vere that there is a dangerous seaman aboard, when a French ship is sighted. The crew are called to action stations; a shot is fired, but the wind fails, the mist returns and the chase is abandoned. Claggart returns to Vere; he accuses Billy of planning a mutiny. Vere, disbelieving him, orders both men to his cabin.
Scene 2 Captain's Vere's cabin, a few minutes later
Billy arrives expecting promotion, only to be confronted by Claggart's false accusation of inciting mutiny. Finding himself unable to speak in his defence, Billy hits out and Claggart falls dead. Vere is horrified. Sending Billy into an adjoining room, he summons his officers to an immediate trial, knowing that the penalty for striking a superior officer is death. Billy is brought before the drumhead court martial. Aware of the injustice of the death sentence in this instance, the officers appeal to Vere for guidance; he refuses to advise them and they reluctantly resolve that Billy should be hanged at dawn. Vere knows that he could have saved Billy. He goes to tell him the verdict.
Scene 3 The next morning, shortly before dawn
Billy awaits his execution; Dansker brings him food and drink.
Scene 4 On deck, four o'clock the same morning
The crew assemble to witness the hanging. Billy's final words are 'Starry Vere, God bless you!', a shout which is echoed by the crew. But after the hanging they turn on the officers in anger and resentment. Ordered below, their rebellion subsides into sullen obedience.
Vere, an old man, knows he has failed Billy and himself: he could have saved him. He receives Billy's last words as a kind of benediction, redeeming him at the last.

Opera Billy Budd at the Bolshoi Theater
According to previous information the premiere of the opera Billy Budd will take place on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater on November 25, 2016. Music director and the chief conductor of the Bolshoi Theater Tugan Sokhiev - said in his interview that the production is being staged in partnership with the English National Opera.
Benjamin Britten's works are rarely seen on Russian stages, and as infrequently in Europe. The opera Billy Budd is one of the musical works that are not widely known, but true connoisseurs of classics however would surely be familiar with it. While the premiere is still a long way off, we are confident that the Billy Budd opera tickets at the Bolshoi Theater will enjoy great popularity with the audiences.
The opera was written in 1951, and almost immediately presented in London, on the stage of Royal Opera House, Coven Garden. The opera is based on the unfinished work of the same name by the American author Herman Melville, who also wrote Moby Dick. The original feature of the opera is that all parts must be voiced by men.
The English composer Benjamin Britten has written several dozen operas, ballets, oratorios, orchestra pieces, and cantatas – some of which are:
- Our Hunting Fathers
- Serenade
- Peter Grimes
- Albert Herring
- Gloriana
- The Prince of the Pagodas
- Nocturne
- The Prodigal Son
- War Requiem, and others
Russian audiences were introduced to the opera Billy Budd for the first time in 2013 at the Mikhailovsky Theater in St. Petersburg. Now however, they will see a slightly different version.
The opera's director David Alden is known as an opera original among the theater critics. He knows how to surprise an audience and always offers a new take on famous and well-known classics. Of course, no one is giving away any details for this new staging of Billy Budd, but if such an amazing director is involved then we can expect something truly original and extraordinary.
In the story the ship's captain Edward Fairfax Vere is remembering his past, and one incident in particular. A young sailor Billy Budd comes on board his ship. He quickly becomes everyone's favorite, but many on the crew view him as a dangerous instigator. At the time their homeland is in the midst of revolutionary events, and Billy Budd becomes a symbol of that on that particular ship. Those who order tickets to the opera Billy Budd in advance will find out what happens to the young sailor.
We invite you to see the talented actors and this exciting opera premiere in Moscow!

Javier Gomez and Sixto Melendez met years ago as college students in Miami, where they shared a desk at a DVD distributor's warehouse. Now they can finish each other's sentences, which is helpful when you're in the business of making movies together. And what movies they make. Their short film about a deadly border crossing, Laberinto Infernal, was picked to première in the Short Film Corner at the Cannes Film Festival this past spring. Before that, the team swept the awards competition at the Almost Famous Film Festival. While not as swank as Cannes, that festival is billed as one of the largest in the Southwest, and brown Hollywood took notice of the team this summer, inviting the two to rework the short film using a professional cast and crew as part of a film academy in Tucson. The expanded version, Atraves del Infierno, has already received high marks from fancy film folks, including reps from MGM Studios and filmmaker Moctezuma Esparza (Selena, Walkout). Maybe someday soon, the two will get to quit their day jobs as cameramen for Channel 15. We hope they'll say they knew us when . . .
I arrived in Phoenix March 1, 2003, with a renewed enthusiasm and a reason to be a step closer to Los Angeles and my dreams.
Javier Gomez and Sixto Melendez
When Im stuck in traffic, I wish I had chosen to live downtown, for sure.
I never forget to TiVo the Colombian soap Pedrito el Escamoso.
One thing my mother doesnt know about me is I am a proud father.
On Saturday night, you can find me at home or on my computer catching up on work.
My favorite thing about summer in Phoenix is that it is just four months closer to fall.
If I could redo my first kiss, Id kiss with tongue.
The one dessert I refuse to eat is the one that contains milk or fat.
If I were mayor of Phoenix, I would build a performing arts center unlike any other in the world.
In high school, I was the kid who did not identify with my own culture and hid from everyone.
In another life, I was a Viking, a Renaissance inventor, or painter.
The one place in Phoenix I dont want anyone to know about is west Phoenix, because most bad news comes from that area.
On my nightstand, youll find a glass of water and my cell phone.
The fictional character Im most like is Superman, because we all know Kryptonite is not available on Earth.
One thing I want to do before I die is see my son Brandon grow up and be a successful and productive man of society.
The best thing about Phoenix is its just a few miles away from Los Angeles, my ultimate destination, where all my dreams will come true.
I arrived in Phoenix in September of 2003 and was stunned by the harsh beauty of the desert. I thought, What an amazingly stimulating place.
When Im stuck in traffic, I curse the lineage of anyone going slower or faster than me.
One thing my mother doesnt know about me is that Im not really the saint she perceives, and if I can help it, shell never find out.
On Saturday night, you can find me wherever the best drink specials are.
My favorite thing about summer in Phoenix is the fact that I know it will end. I have a real love-hate relationship with the seasons here. Every summer I ask myself, What possessed me to relocate to the sixth level of Dantes Inferno? but then fall comes around and the passion returns.
If I could redo my first kiss, Id kiss a Kate Blanchett, Beckinsale, or Winslet, in no particular order.
The one dessert I refuse to eat has not yet been created. I have a serious sweet tooth and I have to watch myself.
If I was mayor of Phoenix, Id probably get very little accomplished. The power would go to my head and Id run the city like Caesar Caligula. It would be absolute debauchery until some responsible group of citizens would rise up, plot, and execute my assassination.
In high school, I was the kid with the long hair, in the band, with the rock n roll stars in his eyes. You know the one every high school has a few.
In another life, I was probably a celebrity of some sort. I base this on the longing I feel to achieve attention for my work. I believe that we dont desire what weve never had.

On my nightstand, youll find a container of Icy Hot. Along with ibuprofen, it helps relieve the hangover headaches. Im serious, try it.
The fictional character Im most like is on the inside I often I feel like a Tyler Durden. However, when I look in the mirror, I see more of Ed Nortons character.
One thing I want to do before I die is learn to scuba dive.
The best thing about Phoenix is the spiritual stimulation I get looking at the surrounding desert mountain ranges. I get a real sense of the ages when I see the modern city cradled in the ancient desert past.

There are now oodles of games on the Windows Store, meant for the Metro interface. Generally, the games are pretty at par with those released on other platforms when it comes to quality. But for games bearing the XBox mark, I find it increasingly difficult to justify even launching them. Upon launch, the game will try to sign in to the XBox service, and this process can take several minutes even on broadband. Add the loading time for the app itself and it becomes problematic, but it gets worse, because most of these games won't let you play along until you're signed in. Way to kill the urge to pop up a quick game for a quick fix.

Looking Forward to Microsoft's New OS UpdatesPosted: April 6, 2014 in Technoloy
Tags: Build, Cortana, Microsoft, Nokia, Windows, Windows 8.1, Windows Phone, Windows Phone 8.1
The Windows world was set abuzz with the recent reveals at Microsoft's Build conference just this week. Updates to Microsoft's Windows and Windows Phone were shown off. And honestly, they both impress.
Windows 8.1 Update
The update to Windows 8.1 is now available via MSDN to developers, and on April 8th, it will be released to the general public. I know I'm excited, with two – nay, three – machines already running Windows 8.1 ready for the new bits. This latest update focuses on Desktop users, with consideration for making life easier on those who use the mouse and keyboard as opposed to touch-first interfaces of tablets.
Windows 8 saw polarized acceptance when it was released. It's dual-personality confused and angered a lot of users, bloggers and the Technorati. Personally, despite not finding much use or purpose for the interface formerly known as Metro, I enjoyed the OS from the start. I was part of the public beta after all.
I wasn't bothered at all with the lack of a start button. I never felt the jarring feeling a lot of folks complained about, having to drop in and out of the modern interface to run desktop applications. Frankly, though, I find the metro apps lacking. Not a lot of developers were on board at the start and those who were seemed to not give too much effort with their app offerings. The result is a rather less-than-satisfying experience compared to already established platforms, such as the ones found in iOS. Modern apps are slow, particularly those needing internet connectivity, and a lot are not as feature-rich as their counterparts on other platforms. For a long while, there weren't even official apps for the major services common today.
But the desktop experience – what an improvement! I do miss the aero interface at times. The 8.1 update was a welcome improvement. It added a start button to appease the critics, but it's no Start Menu. By now, people should realize that it's not coming back. Or is it?
Above screenshot is what we can expect of the update to Windows 8.1 – and more. Universal apps – cross-platform apps that work on phone, computers and yes, even the XBox One –, windowed modern apps, taskbar on both desktop and modern interface for mouse/keyboard users, and, your eyes don't deceive you, the return of the Start Menu.
Update: Wndows 8.1 Update is now live. No windowed modern apps. No Start Menu. Looks like they're gonna be part of another update to the Windows 8.1 Update or even Windows 9.
There is another update announced that will come to Windows 8.1, but no new information on when and what it will contain as of now.
Windows Phone 8.1
The only reason I haven't bought a Lumia Phone is because I cant justify Nokia's decision to not include a card slot on their high-end phones. I wanted the 920 or 925 but crippling the storage front turned me away. I do have the Lumia 520, the cheapest Windows Phone available, from my company. And surprise, it has microSD support!
After seeing the features lined-up for Windows Phone 8.1 though, I'm contemplating getting the 32GB version of either 920/925 again. Or perhaps go with their phablets, since both the 1320 and 1520 have microSD support. The just-announced 930 looks absolutely incredible, but a) it's not available 'til June, and then only in Europe and b) even if it is, it will really be expensive. I can get the 920 legitimately today for about Php14,000 (~$310).
The live tiles on WP are a nice touch, but the toast notification is seriously not enough. If you missed a toast, then there's no way to check what it was about unless you scan your apps' tiles for updates. A central notification area where all notifications can be glimpsed upon would really simplify matters. Thankfully, this is coming, along with access to quick settings like Bluetooth, Wi-fi and Airplane Modes. All customizable of course.
Another great feature to look forward to is the Word Flow keyboard. I suck at these touchscreen phones because of my stubby hands.
Then we have the new ability to set a background image for tiles. Just wonderful, it can't get any more personal than that! The update will also allow for up to three columns of medium-sized tiles.
The new OS debuts Cortana, a digital assistant similar to Apple's Siri, but does a lot more. Although, it will be available for US-based users upon launch only. Microsoft is also making it clear that they're releasing Cortana as a beta.
Of course, there's a lot more features coming our way. Look here and here for a definitive list.
The world's most personal smartphone sounds right!

Atlanta Georgia Foreclosure Help, Defense, Laws and Process
There is no greater accomplishment than owning your home and with a mortgage help this has become a reality for many people in Atlanta, Georgia. Sometimes, hard economic times can hit real hard and you may suddenly find yourself unable to meet your financial responsibilities. When this happens and your home loan repayments become overdue then being a homeowner can end up becoming a living nightmare. The bank foreclosing on the property is the likely result. It's easier to foreclose properties in Georgia than in many other states. The span of foreclosure in Atlanta takes just 3 months.
It is important to note that time plays an important factor. The longer you hold out paying your loan the harder the situation gets and the harder for you to reinstate that loan. You can find it near impossible to get back on track in paying your monthly installments on a loan you may easily serviced before simply because the lender now charges penalties, legal fees and interest on the defaulted loan. Through the government and your lawyer's assistance, you can have your mortgage problem sorted out. You need not be flung from financial stability to financial ruin.
Stop foreclosure in Atlanta, Georgia
You can avoid foreclosure. This can be done through various arms of government, via assistance from not for profit agencies or through your lawyer. The following are just some of the guidelines that can help you stop foreclosure on your Atlanta, Georgia property.
- Don't ignore the financial crisis your undergoing
- Talk to your loan provider as soon as you realize you have a problem in paying the loan
- Acknowledge the receipt of mail from your lender and respond to it
- Be aware of your mortgage rights by contacting the state government housing office
- Prioritize your spending
- Liquidate your assets in order to meet the payment terms
- Avoid foreclosure prevention companies because HUD is available to you
- File for bankruptcy, it can delay foreclosure of your properties and give you ample time to liquidate your assets to pay your loan
Atlanta, Georgia Foreclosure Process
In Atlanta Georgia the law on foreclosures states that one month before setting a sale on the property the lender must issue a mail of "Notice of Default" to the borrower. Loans that are foreclosed non-judicially may be returned anytime up to 11 days before the sale of the property and this is inclusive of attorney fees. The creditor has the choice to accept or decline payment of the loan after that date.
The non-judicial foreclosure follows the following process:
- A notice of sale is issued to the borrower no less than 30days before the date of sale on the property via registered and certified mail to the borrower and his attorney.
- The notice of sale is published once a week for 4 consecutive weeks and must be posted for 4 weeks before its sale in 2 public places.
- The borrower has 11 days to come up with the defaulted amount in order to stop the foreclosure.
- The property must be auctioned between the hours of 9.00AM and 4.00 PM on a Tuesday The sale of the property may be postponed for not more than a week and the notice must be posted beneath the original posted notice.
Repairing your credit after a foreclosure is highly advisable since Foreclosing lowers your credit scores. And therefore it is important to do this in order to help you secure a loan for your future projects and also earn trust from your creditors.

If you are having issues getting the mobile application to view when outside your home / business network or when not using WIFI, please see the following bandwidth requirements and suggested fixes.
- Due to 1080p resolution needs, the monitor to router connection requires minimum 4Mb/s upload capability. This means that your home / business upload speed may not be sufficient to broadcast the 1080p resolution.
- One suggested fix is to ensure you have ample upload bandwidth in your internet connection. Depending on what other devices you have connected, these devices could also be using upload bandwidth.
- The other suggested fix is to set the resolution to LOW in the application ONLY. This does not set the recording resolution to low, only the sub stream viewing to your mobile device.
- In the application, click the Edit icon > Advanced Setting > Video Quality > Set to Medium or Low

It should be noted that half the upside to revenue expectations (and a decent % of the earnings beat) was thanks to the weak dollar (at least relative to the year ago period).
Gross margin increased 3.4%, almost half of it from currency impact. Much of the reaming boost was due to less "clearance" of inventory in low-margin liquidation channels, and higher-margin licensed product sales.
From the release:
Gross profit increased by 29.5% to $219.4 million as a result of increased sales and gross profit margin expansion. Gross profit margin increased 340 basis points to 55.8% in the First Quarter compared to 52.4% in the prior year quarter with a weaker U.S. dollar contributing 130 basis points to the improvement. First Quarter gross profit margin also benefited from reduced levels of low margin sales through off-price liquidation channels and an increase in the sales mix of higher margin licensed watch products and direct to consumer sales in comparison to the prior year quarter. During the First Quarter, direct to consumer sales increased to 22.4% of consolidated net sales in comparison to 20.6% of consolidated net sales in the prior year quarter.
At the end of the quarter, cash and securities of $458million amounted to $6.83 per share. The company has boosted guidance for the full year, and it's by no means aggressive.
Net of cash (discounting that cash 25% for repatriation taxes, as much of it is abroad), FOSL shares trade at about 12.5times new 2010 earnings guidance - I could see upside to the mid-40's within 12 months, and further gains if the company maintains it's new higher margin structure.

We've moved to Utah!
This city girl is now living in the foothills of the Uinta Mountains. From our house we can see the Wasatch Back, and I've discovered I'm fascinated by watching clouds coagulate over the mountains, then spill down into Heber Valley. I love seeing all the wildlife in our yard – from ground squirrels to deer to the occasional moose. We've had a tricolored heron stop by for a visit, and a pair of mallards are in the pond so often we consider them residents.
We also have a new cat, Min. She came with our house. She's a talker and is big on snuggles, often demanding that we sit down so she can have a lap to sleep on. Look for pics of her soon.

NEW DELHI/MUMBAI (Reuters) - Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd is in advanced talks to invest in Indian online payment platform and e-commerce firm Paytm, two sources with knowledge of the matter said on Tuesday.
Alibaba's financial arm Ant Financial, which runs the Alipay online payment platform, is already an investor in Paytm's parent, having agreed in February to buy a 25 percent stake.
One source with direct knowledge of the matter said the new deal would see Alibaba directly invest around $600 million for a share in Paytm that could take the Chinese group's total holding to around 40 percent of the Indian payments firm.
The fresh investment would value Paytm at around $4 billion.
The sources declined to be named as negotiations are not public.
A spokesperson for Alibaba declined to comment on the development. A spokeswoman for Paytm also declined to comment, but said the group regularly engaged with investors on "various funding opportunities".

I've known kitanzi for years. We've run into each other off and on, maybe a couple times a year, at various friends' houses. She remembers that I asked her out the first time we met. It was at a party at Mark and Rachel's, one where Dance Dance Revolution was the focal point, and given that I was younger then, I must have been either wired from silly dancing or moved by her to unusual boldness. I told her she was cute and asked if she'd like to have lunch. She declined; not out of any displeasure at the invitation, it was just that she didn't know me.
She remembers this. Her husband remembers it, and my wife remembers it, and Mark and Rachel remember it. They've all told me about it with some amusement. I did not remember it at all until I was reminded. My memory sucks.
Thanksgiving Day, a couple of months ago: I'd finally gotten tired of feeling sorry for myself in the wake of the second heartbreak from the Professor, and I felt like coming out of my shell and being social. Our friends Brian and Suzan were having a friends' Thanksgiving feast, and we went with Anna's brown sugar brownies. Kit and her husband (autographedcat ) were there too. She'd brought this pumpkin trifle with an insane amount of rum in it. As usual, I thought she was really cute. I felt there was a bit of spark there. (Yes, before I tried the trifle.) I stayed close to her through most of the evening, and before she left I asked her to lunch again. This time she said yes.
Since then we've bumped around in the dark, we've seen dead people, and she's introduced me to her world (Emma Bull and Tanya Huff are very cool people to hang out with, by the way). I've been reading to her: some of my stories, and then Gormenghast. She's smart, she's mature, she's enthusiastic, she's a clear communicator, she loves bad puns, and she kisses well. I didn't think I'd ever meet a woman who appreciated my puns.
Anna likes her, and Rob likes me. I can't go to their place without being lent more books and movies. Last time they sent me home with Animaniacs to entertain Alex. Ah, nostalgia. And I've paused from reading their copy of Winter's Tale to write this. It's a breathtaking book.
Things have gone very easily and very well. For a while I kept thinking it was too easy. She the same thing: she felt like she was waiting for the other shoe to drop. It took me a while to figure out why I felt this way. It's simply the first polyamorous relationship I've had that didn't start out with a handicap. She's local, and we're both poly-experienced, and there are no spousal trust issues on any front. Everything's out in the open, including our past baggage. It's refreshing and wonderful, albeit not what I'm used to. (She kissed me on our first lunch date because she felt like it? It's supposed to be harder than that! There's supposed to be drama!)
I don't doubt that at least some of it is rose-colored NRE glasses. It won't continue drama-free forever. That's probably fine. We seem to be comfortable with each other's personalities and intentions, so hopefully we'll make it through that. And if not… Well, I'm having fun right now. I'm feeling more balanced this time, I'm not going overboard and losing sight of work or family. So I think it's all good.
I just wanted to talk about her a bit, since I hadn't yet. She's probably blushing like hell as she reads this. I hope she's doing it at work, on her iPhone; it amuses me to think of her trying to hide her buoyancy from her coworkers, and failing. If I'm right, she'll have her revenge on me later.
And that'll be fun too.
You're cool, Kit.

Ashland University's lacrosse team won its first Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game of the season on Sunday (March 17) against Maryville University.
The Eagles are now 1-1 in the conference with the 14-9 win. In a game that was tied 5-5 at the break, it was all Ashland down the stretch, outscoring the Saints in the second half, 9-4.
Leading the way for the Eagles on offense was junior standout Sofia Michael. She netted six goals on the day to bring her season tally to 24. The balanced Ashland attack was helped by junior Renee Ruppert, who found the net three times; and senior Lauren Taylor, who had three goals, one of which was the game-winner.
Senior Haley Abraszek added a goal, and sophomore Leah Brickman also scored once for Ashland.
Freshman Corynn Schneider held strong in the net, making 10 saves, and holding Maryville to singles digits in scoring.
Half 1 was a back-and-forth affair, with no team gaining a decisive advantage. The Saints' 5-3 lead with 10:30 to go in the first half was their largest of the game, and the largest of the half. From that stage in the contest on, Ashland went on an 11-4 run the win the game.
Late in the second half, that run was kickstarted by Ruppert, who added an unassisted goal with 6:44 left in the half. Michael scored a few minutes later on the pass from freshman Cora Wilson to go into the break tied at 5.
In the second half, it was all Ashland.
Ruppert and Michael put the Eagles up 7-5 with early goals, 28:44 and 28:07 to play, respectively. Later, with the game tied at 9, Taylor scored the game-winning goal from Wilson's assist with 14:04 left to play. The Eagles shut down Maryville after that, scoring four more goals from Ruppert twice, Taylor once more, and Michael.
Ashland's defense was stifling down the stretch. The Saints did not score for the final 16:62 of the game. The Eagles also managed to force 15 turnovers compared to the 13 forced by Maryville.
Shots were even in the contest, 27-27. Ashland was slightly more accurate on its shots, leading 23-19 in shots on goal. The Eagles also had the edge in draw controls, 15-10.
Ashland will return home to face Grand Valley State in GLIAC play on Friday (March 22) at 7 p.m.

Nice to do business with you
Perhaps one of the trickiest jobs for any designer is making a business card. We asked some leading creatives, in Ireland next week for Offset 2014, to show us how they make a first impression
Above: Jeff Greenspan, consultant and former chief creative officer, BuzzFeed, New York
"For a 'That guy I met' card I have I bought a URL that anyone could remember if I were to meet them and didn't have my business card on me, since most people had trouble remembering jeffgreenspan.com (thatguyimet.com redirects to jeffgreenspan.com). Eventually, I made a card with just that simple URL on it. It also creates a bit of a mystery when someone goes back into their business-card collection if it's been a while since we've met, and at that point they generally seem intrigued enough to visit my site and reconnect. For the punch card I hand them out prepunched. This is a riff on coffee-house loyalty cards"

Rattlers survive in Cedar Rapids for 7th straight win
The Arizona Rattlers had all they could handle from the Cedar Rapids Titans in downtown Phoenix last Saturday night, emerging victorious in the final seconds.
The two teams did not have to wait long to match up again as the Rattlers used a big third quarter to come away with their seventh straight win, 57-42, in front of 4,214 fans at US Cellular Center Saturday night.
Arizona (8-1) quarterback Jeff Ziemba opened the game's scoring, finding Dezmon Epps over the middle for a 16-yard score to give his team a 7-0 lead.
Cedar Rapids (1-8) answered back as running back Raphael Lawson-Gayle found the end zone from a couple yards out to tie the score.
The game looked to be another seesaw battle as the teams traded scores until the second quarter.
Following a turnover on downs, Rattlers running back Darrell Monroe (coming off an 11-touchdown performance the week before) took a pitch, broke a tackle and plunged into the end zone from a few yards out to give Arizona a 34-20 advantage at the half.
On the first drive of the second half, Titans quarterback Jake Medlock fumbled a handoff and Arizona defensive lineman Chris McAllister dove on the ball in the end zone to give his team a three-score lead.
Following another stop, Monroe scored his third rushing touchdown of the contest to give the Rattlers a 27-point advantage.
Cedar Rapids closed the lead to within eight points in the final minutes, but Ziemba threw his third touchdown pass to Anthony Amos with less then a minute to play to seal the win.
Quick Strikes
– Medlock, who did not have his first incompletion until the final minute in last week's meeting, was held in check to the tune of 21-of-31 passing for 218 yards and two interceptions.
– Monroe, the league's reigning offensive player of the week, finished with 107 rushing yards on 20 carries. The Arizona Western alum leads the IFL in rushing and touchdowns.
– Ziemba finished 12-of-20 passing for 124 yards and 3 touchdowns. The rookie signal-caller also scored on a 17-yard keeper in the first quarter.
Up Next
The Arizona Rattlers play their second straight road contest as they visit the Green Bay Blizzard on Saturday, May 12. Kickoff is at 5:05 p.m. All road games can be seen live on YouTube.

Still on the subject of choosing a marriage partner, (it's an inexhaustible field, don't you think?), I would like to share with you some essential thoughts that will help you now in your search and even much more later on your journey of marriage.
I draw my thoughts from Luke 14:28-30:
"Is there anyone here who, planning to build a new house, doesn't first sit down and figure the cost so you'll know if you can complete it? If you only get the foundation laid and then run out of money, you're going to look pretty foolish. Everyone passing by will poke fun at you: He started something he couldn't finish." The Message Translation
There is little doubt that when most single people are contemplating a choice of a life partner, they are often preoccupied with the immediate. They judge mostly by what they feel drawn to in the other person for the now. What they look like now. What they know now. How they behave now. Just their capacity in the now.
Let me let you know this truth: You will be married to different persons in the same person as the years progress in your married life!
Yes you heard me right.
The person you marry now will be a different kind of person in five, ten, twenty, thirty-five, fifty, sixty years from now!
The same thing applies to you too.
Why so?
It is because of one harmless-sounding word.EVOLVE.
See, people evolve with time. That means that people change with time. Not necessarily in a bad way or in a negative sense but because of the reality of living and as a result of life's experiences and interactions. Experiences, exposure, increased knowledge ( or the lack thereof), influences, pressures, challenges, unforeseen circumstances, children, sons and daughters-in law, grand-children, demands of work and career, business challenges, progress, blessings, setbacks, growing, aging, dwindling hormones, dwindling libido, health issues and the list goes on and on and on again.
The effect of all of these interactions is that they cause a person to evolve gradually and without announcement! The things that were once seen as important now take a back seat on their scale of preferences because in the light of their current reality, those things no longer matter that much. They are changing. Their views and perspectives are being altered gradually. The same thing is happening to you too.
The point therefore is that if you married someone only because of their capacity at the time, what becomes of your relationship when tomorrow both of you have become somewhat different individuals in terms of your EXPECTATIONS from each other especially?
Your needs from each other are different now.
Even your capabilities and 'smartness' may suffer a momentary setback due to busier schedules, health challenges, distractions and what have you.
What times like these call for is a restructuring of thoughts and paradigms. A rising up to the challenge of present realities. Ditching confining stereotypes and adjusting to your new realities with a view to making sure that your relationship thrives while nothing suffers. Getting things done in spite of! Working in harmony and finding joy in every season your lives go through. All these while remaining true to your vows and not compromising fidelity!
So when the tide has turned somewhat, what becomes of you both? Will you be able to rise up to the occasion and give to life what it demands from you at this new level? Will you be able to cope or will someone throw in the towel and jump ship? Will someone become irritable and reactionary because 'what' they married has slipped away unnoticed?
This, my friend is what you should consider in choosing a marriage partner. From the get go, you have to be able to determine that you are marrying someone who in your estimation will be able to last on the journey WHEN the seasons change and the once physically alluring attributes have become anything but! This is so crucial I couldn't emphasize it enough.
Think tomorrow, guys. Think tomorrow!
Your choice today must take into consideration the inevitable truth that both of you will need to evolve with time in a better way, that is. So you need to be sure that whoever you are traveling on the journey of marriage with understands this as much as you do. It is something you both should talk about and be aware of.
So, how then do you go about this daunting task?
It all boils down to subjecting yourself and your partner to the test of character in your pre-marital relationship. This will take some time as well as deliberate effort aimed at carrying on in your relationship in a manner that will help you determine if your partner is a 'sprint runner' or 'marathon runner!' Lol.
-Teachability ( willingness to learn and to grow).
No doubt you need the help of the Holy Spirit in this. Pray and sincerely depend on Him to show you what you ordinarily would not even perceive.
But having done that, you need smart engagement with your intended so as to be able to ascertain that they pass the flexibility, adaptability and teachability test.
Don't forget that you must also pass the same test yourself.
We all start from 'somewhere,' but we need to be open-minded and willing to grow as we learn from the experiences life throws at us. With this attitude in place, we will be able to go the whole length of our (hopefully) long and beautiful marriages without losing steam especially when the various seasons happen upon us.
Here's to an awesome journey in marriage!

CLEVELAND, Ohio--How can you tell the difference between a medical center with private-practice doctors and one with more expensive hospital departments?
Looks may be deceiving, experts warn. Their big difference is really on the inside -- in how they are run.
There are choices out there for people not wanting to pay hospital rates, particularly for primary care. The best thing to do is ask if you will be charged the pricier hospital rates or a facility fee when making an appointment.
Here's a look at the landscape:
•Cleveland Clinic: The Clinic is moving to designate all of its family health centers as off-campus hospital departments, with the exception of the Wooster Family Health Center, which can't qualify because it's more than 35 miles away from the Cleveland hospital. Even a smaller, suburban medical center with about a dozen doctors scheduled to open later this year in Mentor will bill at hospital rates, Cleveland Clinic officials said. For questions, call 1-866-621-6385.
•MetroHealth Medical Center: All 16 of its off-campus health centers are deemed hospital outpatient facilities. A large share of MetroHealth's patients are covered by government insurance, so they don't pay noticeably more for care because Medicare and Medicaid cover most of the hospital charges. Call 1-877-509-0597 with questions.
•University Hospitals of Cleveland: More than 80 percent of its primary-care doctors still bill patients at the lower "doctor's office" rates because the physicians are not direct employees of the hospital. But many specialists and medical services at the hospital's health centers bill the higher charges.
At 19 of University Hospitals' 21 health centers, some private-practice doctors are located side-by-side with hospital departments. (Two centers -- University Suburban Health Center in South Euclid and University Hospitals Mantua Health Center -- have remained doctor's offices.) Patients should ask at individual offices how they will be billed.
• Kaiser Permanente: Both an insurer and medical provider, it has 15 medical centers with 163 doctors in Northeast Ohio. Kaiser doesn't bill "facility fees" for any doctor's visits or medical services. It doesn't charge the higher hospital rates, either. Patients can call 1-800-686-7100 with questions.
• Southwest General Hospital: Doctors in its community-based primary-care network bill for doctor's office visits, and not hospital care. Likewise, doctors in the hospital's Brunswick and Strongsville medical centers charge at the lower doctor's office rates, though some services at these centers -- such as laboratory, radiology and cardiovascular medicine -- are charged at hospital rates without an additional facility fee. Call 440-816-4701with questions.
•Lake Health: Only a small percentage of the physicians are directly employed by the hospital, so that means that most doctors in the network bill for doctor's office visits. But the community-based medical centers that are owned by the health system and carry its logo bill at hospital rates with facility fees, officials said. Call 440-953-6012 with questions.
•Parma Community General Hospital: Doctors in its primary-care network bill for doctor's office visits, not at hospital rates. Additionally, Parma Hospital has Community Express Care clinics located inside three area Discount Drug Mart locations in Independence, Parma Heights and Olmsted Falls. The Community Express Care clinics are staffed by nurse practitioners for minor illnesses, health screenings and vaccinations. Patients can call 440-743-4292 with questions.
• Summa Health System: Summa employs about 280 doctors, who see patients at Akron City Hospital and in dozens of offices in the community. They all bill patients for doctor's office visits.
Four hospital-owned clinics bill as departments of the hospital. They are the Bariatric Care Center, the Senior Health Services Center, Center for Pain Management, and Wound Care Center. Patients can call 330-996-8505with questions.


text: Yesterday the temperature got to a balmy 34F – the first time we've been above freezing in over two weeks (for youngsters or non-Americans, freezing point is 32F). Unfortunately it was a one-off "warm" day and looking at the long range forecast I'm seeing nothing above 25F for at least another two weeks. Sigh.

As 2012 – the Jubilee year with a phenomenal summer of sport – draws to an end, we have another Royal celebration to look forward to next year…the birth of a Royal baby! Of course, pregnancy isn't always easy and, as parents, I am sure we all sympathise with HRH The Duchess of Cambridge who was admitted to hospital recently with hyperemesis gravidarum (sounds like a Harry Potter spell doesn't it?!!).
Someone who knows exactly what Kate must be going through is Rebecca from Here Comes The Girls. She has written an open letter to the newly pregnant Windsor on the truth about hyperemesis gravidarum based on her own experience of the condition during her twin pregnancy.
And talking about pregnant ladies needing medical attention, spare a thought for Expat Mammy over at Expatbabyadventures who has just this week been admitted to hospital after a fainting spell. As of last week, my blogger friend turned real-life chum, Otilia (who blogs as Romanian Mum) was also still in hospital following the birth of her second child (so if you haven't offered your congratulations yet, go do it now!). Here's hoping both women will be back on their feet and at home soon.
One mum who I'm sure is looking forward to seeing the back of hospitals this Christmas is Laura who writes over at Tired Mummy of Two. As I'm sure you all know, her daughter was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia earlier this year, which signalled the beginning of tests, treatments and hospital stays. Thankfully, the family is looking forward to a very exciting Christmas after Laura's daughter wish to spend Christmas at Butlins was granted by the Starlight Foundation.
Meanwhile, Jane (AKA Northern Mum) is looking forward to a better 2013. She freely admits that 2012 has been her annus horrilis, having had to deal with one daughter in spica and then discovering that her other daughter has diabetes. Jane has written a few posts about DDH and diabetes but you should definitely read her recently written letter to her diabetic daughter. A tribute to the courageousness of children.
Another lady with a diabetic child is Her Melness. She's written a very informative post about diabetes; what it is, the symptoms, the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. She very articulately lays out her family's history of the condition and how it is only one thing that can define us.
So that's it, my last health round-up of 2012. I hope you've enjoyed reading them and see you in 2013! Wishing you all health, wealth and happiness for another year – Merry Christmas!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
DowFoam is a foam bitumen product made from excavated highway materials by Dowhigh Ltd at their local recycling depot on Merseyside. Production and application of the material is rigorously controlled under Dowhigh's Quality System and independently checked for compliance against current standards.
The material is a 'cold lay' product and is produced in two formats - one for carriageway use and one for footway use. The carriageway product attains the same strength and durability characteristics as DBM 50 and is suitable for use in road-base and / or binder course in any highway environment, including motorway. The footway product has similar 'final' strength performance but, being made with lime rather than cement, can be stored for up to 10 days prior to use.
Both materials comply fully with current standards whilst significantly reducing CO2 emissions, transport miles, use of new raw materials and landfill charges.
Both materials are 'locally' produced and competitively priced.

— As air bag manufacturer Takata faces a probable class-action lawsuit over exploding air bags, a fourth person has died with wounds consistent with injuries from metal flying from an air bag.
Hien Tran, 51, was involved in a Florida crash where her Honda Accord hit another car and triggered the Takata-equipped air bag in the Accord.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, paramedics saw deep cuts on the right side of Tran's neck that didn't appear to be consistent with crash injuries. The cuts on her neck were so severe the authorities first believed someone must have attacked Tran before she fled in her car and investigators released information about a "person of interest" in a possible homicide.
Tran died on October 2, 2014, four days after the accident.
Now the Orange-Osceola County chief medical examiner says the deep cuts on the neck were caused by metal shrapnel flying out of the Takata air bag as it deployed during the crash.
Dr. Jan Garavaglia said Tran had other serious head injuries in addition to the stab wounds on the neck, so the neck wounds didn't necessarily kill Tran. However, Dr. Garavaglia said the exploding air bag did cut Tran's trachea and the final autopsy report will show what effect the air bag had on her death.
As with Hien Tran, the other three Takata air bag fatalities occurred in Honda vehicles. Two fatalities occurred in 2009 and a third occurred in 2013.
Honda did recall a limited number of 2001 Accord and Civic models in 2008 because the driver-side air bag could explode from a faulty metal inflator inside the air bags. The recalls were expanded over the years and investigators are now trying to confirm why these death reports are tied to Honda cars.
