Fringing For Fall
By: Jennifer Wilson
Lately I have been obsessing over all things fringe. It was quite obvious that fringe was one of the newest trends to hit the runway for Spring 2015, but I have been a fan of this look for a while. It actually started when I was a little girl and got my first pair of cowboy boots with fringe detailing. I will never forget the first time I laid eyes on them. They had a magical appeal to me and I would wear them to my horseback riding lessons and never wanted to take them off. Mix in a fringed jacket, and I could have been considered a fanatic of the style at the ripe age of 5.
Something about the extra trim also reminds me of one of my favorite books, "The Great Gatsby" where fringe is seen in most women's attire. Obviously the type of fringe I am talking about has a refreshed look and a modern vibe to it (no flapper dresses or western outfits I promise, unless it's for Halloween) and I love how it adds movement to a look. I have actually had the dress I'm wearing for a couple of years now and I literally wear it all of the time. The billowy sleeves make it perfect for breezy nights out and I love pairing it with over the knee boots for a great fall look. I also enjoy fringe when mixed in with suede or leather, like on a great pair of booties. The texture of fringe gives the extra fabric an added bonus and a richer look.
One of my favorite things about fall, other than pumpkin bread, hot chocolate, and holiday activities, is that it's the season of layering, and I always like to let my shoes do the talking whenever possible. Fringe booties pair perfectly with a pair of skinny jeans and a simple chunky knit and I can already picture sashaying down the sidewalk in my frilly fringe shoes on a chilly night, pretending I'm on a runway, of course.
I've had my eye on several pairs of shoes, accessories, dresses, and handbags that all have a bit of a fringe detail and cannot get enough of the look. It's a style that can be dressed up or down and worn during the day or out at night, and the best part is it adds a whimsical element to any ensemble. I'm a huge fan of having fun with my wardrobe and I love nothing more than choosing pieces that I can wear multiple times during a season. Anything with fringe on it has major wear appeal for both the fall and winter seasons, and can carry into the spring ever so easily (think sandals and sundresses), and I can't wait to break out several of my items at home or on vacation this season.

My world shattered. It seemed like my head was going to explode. Drew wanted to sleep and told me he would talk to me in the morning. I didn't sleep at all. As I stared at the ceiling my mind wandered.
'How am I supposed to be without him?' I said to myself. I couldn't do it. I got up and sat in the chair next to the window. Tears fell from my eyes as I thought about how hard my life would be without him. The next thing I knew, the sun was up. I looked at the clock, it was 7:34 a.m. Drew was still asleep, but I couldn't stand looking at him. I got up and went downstairs into the kitchen.
'Morning sweetheart, have a nice sleep?' Lucy said; she was sitting at the dining room table.
I sat down and her face turned from cheerful to a look of immediate concern.
'What's wrong? What happened?' Her voice was frenetic, her eyes pierced my own.
'It's nothing, I-I,' I was choking on my words, 'Drew doesn't want to be with me.' Tears cascaded my eyes. My heart broke at that instant.
'Oh my God, honey, I'm so sorry!' She got up and came around the table to hug me, 'did he say why?'
'No. He just said he can't be with me anymore. This hurts so much.' I shook away her arms and stood up. 'Wh-What did I do? H-How did I mess up?' My knees went weak and I fell. Lucy ran over to me and helped me up. She walked me into the living room and sat me on the couch.
'Honey, Honey! Listen to me!' She grabbed my chin and held it in place.
'You will not do this. Do you hear me?' She asked with a stern look.
I shook my head.
'I'll talk to him when he gets up. Why he would do this the day before Christmas, God Chris, I'm so sorry.' She pulled me into a hug. I cried on her shoulder for a little while and then Drew walked into the room.
'Andrew Stevens! You little--'
'I need to talk to Chris, mom.' Drew cut Lucy off. He looked destroyed.
'You've done enough. What would make you do this? You, we did not raise you like this!' Lucy stood up. Her anger was almost to the tip. Her face started to turn red.
'MOTHER! I NEED TO TALK TO HIM RIGHT FUCKING NOW!' Drew yelled the loudest I have ever heard him yell. He stormed past Lucy and grabbed my hand, taking me out of the living room and up the stairs to his room.
'Drew let go of me!' I ripped my arm from his hand.
'I need to know one thing, Chris.' He said, walking over to the window, 'do you love me?'
I couldn't believe he was asking me that, 'do I have to answer?' My blood was boiling.
'Yes, you have to answer.' He turned and looked at me.
'Fuck you, Drew. Seriously, fuck you. Why are you doing this? I fucking hate you!' I fell on the floor again. My eyes were puffy from the tears that I was crying. Drew walked over and picked me up.
'I need you to tell me Chris.' He put me on his bed and asked me one more time, 'do you love me?'
It was so hard for me to answer him. I don't know why, I just couldn't stare at him.
'I loved you. It's over, remember?' I buried my head in Drew's pillow.
'I understand.' Drew lifted me to face him.
'Let's take you home.'
I got all of my stuff. The packing seemed like a blur. The car ride was long; I sat in the backseat and tried to sleep. Some part of me wanted to believe that I would wake up and all of this would have been completely fictional. Drew pulled up to front of my house and stopped.
'Do you need help?' Drew looked back at me as I picked up my bags and opened the car door.
'It doesn't matter now. Bye.' I said, holding back the tears. I opened the car door.
Drew rolled down the passenger side window, 'merry Christmas, Chris.'
I just kept walking. I went into the house, up the stairs, and into my room. It was the mid afternoon now and I had no clue where anyone was. I laid on my bed, and after a while I fell asleep. I had dreams of Drew, and I woke up crying.
'Chris? Chris, is that you?' Mom opened the door to my room. 'Why are you home?' She walked over to my bed and sat on the end of it.
'It's over, mom.' I cried, she walked to the side of my bed and got under the covers with me. She held my hand for a little while and then shook me by the shoulders.
'Chris, straighten up! Come on, now, you're tough! You'll make it through this I promise. I love you.' She held me until I fell asleep again.
I woke up and the sky was dark. I turned over and looked at my phone; half hoping to see that Drew tried to call me, but there was nothing. I got up and went downstairs into the foyer and sat on a chair, just thinking. I heard someone walk down the stairs and turn the corner; I sat there trying to fight back the tears.
'Chris?' Dad walked over to me. I looked up at him, hoping that he would go away.
'Hey dad.' I looked at his feet. I didn't want him to see my eyes watering.
'What's wrong, bud?' He asked while pulling up a chair so that he was sitting across from me.
'It's fine, I'll be fine; aren't you tired?' I asked, trying to get him to leave.
'No, haha I haven't been able to sleep for a while now.' He raised his head so that he was looking at me, 'don't you want to tell me what's wrong?' He smiled.
'No, not really.' I was avoiding his gaze. Everything seemed to be making me more sensitive.
'Is it Drew?' He held my hand. My face started to get red and I knew he was staring at me.
'We're over.' Those were the only words I could manage to say. At that instant this entire situation sunk in. I wouldn't be able to call him just to tell him that I love him, I wouldn't be able to call him mine, I wouldn't be able to listen to his voice and feel comfortable. The world seemed too inadequate, I couldn't take it.
'Things will get better, Chris, they always do. It's Christmas as of six minutes ago, you should be happy! Get some sleep.' He got up and turned to walk around the corner when I called for him.
'Dad,' he stopped and turned to face me, 'thanks.'
'I'm always here if you need me.' He smiled and then disappeared around the corner.
I sat up and thought for a couple of minutes. After a while I decided I'd go to sleep.
The morning came sooner than I expected. I woke up and went downstairs; mom and dad were sitting at the dining room table.
'Cynthia still asleep?' I asked, rubbing my eyes.
'No, she's at grandma's house.' Mom said, taking a drink of her coffee.
'Merry Christmas!' Dad shouted. He was holding a box. 'I thought you were a little too old to put it under the tree.'
I smiled and took the box from him. I opened it up, it was a silver key. 'What's this?' I asked, at first I thought it was a car key.
'Your new apartment.' Mom said. She jumped up and hugged me, she seemed like she was going to cry.
'But you can't move in until after school finishes. Deal?' Dad raised his hand so that I could shake it.
'Deal! Thank you guys so much! I love you!' I hugged both of them and took the key up to my room. I placed it on my night stand and went to the bathroom to shower. For a second, I forgot about the entire situation with Drew.
I got out of the shower and checked my phone. I had one missed call'it was from a number I didn't have stored in my phone. I got dressed and called the number back.
'Hello?' I asked, a lady's voice came from the other side.
'Merry Christmas, Chris! You left so early I didn't get a chance to say it. How are you holding up?'
'Uh, good, is this Lucy?' I asked. I already knew it was her.
'Goodness, yes! Listen,' she lowered her voice to a whisper, 'I don't know what's going on with Drew, but he's a wreck. Did anything happen on the car ride home?'
'No. I just sat in the back and tried to sleep. Did he get back to your house late last night?'
'Yeah, around eleven or so. Maybe it's just because he was driving all day yesterday. But Chris, he really has not come out of his room yet. Why don't you call him and talk to him, I think you both need that.' She sounded like she was trying to convince me.
'I can't do it, Lucy. I don't know what's wrong, but I can't talk to him. It hurts too much. I'll talk to you later though, I have to go. Merry Christmas!' I called into the phone as I hung up.
The rest of the day was pretty much boring. I just sat downstairs and hung out with my parents.
New Years Eve was here and I was invited to a party. I got ready, and drove to the kid's house. I never really talked to him, but like I've said, I was somewhat popular. I walked into the house and saw Alexia and Steve.
'CHRIS! OH MY GOD CHRIS!' Alexia ran over and gave me the biggest hug I've ever received. 'HOW THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!' She shouted over the music.
'I've been good, how about you? I've missed you guys like crazy!' I hugged her and Steve came over.
'We've been good. Joe is in California right now, Merry late Christmas!' Steve said. He gave me a hug.
'Thanks, you too!' I said.
'So I take it the mystery girl that you've been ditching us for isn't here?' Alexia asked, looking over my shoulder.
'No'that's over.' I said. I could feel my face turn to a frown.
'Ah, well all's well that ends well!' Steve said, 'Let's go sit down!'
I followed them to the kitchen and we saw Kevin, the kid that was throwing the party. We all said thanks for inviting us and then sat at the table. We talked for a little while when I saw him. Drew was standing with Kevin's parents, talking and laughing.
'What are you looking at?' Steve asked, turning to look at what I was looking at.
'Nothing.' I said, looking away from Drew.
'Did you see the counselor here? It reminds me that we have to go back to school in two days. God, I hate that place.' Steve said, Alexia was shaking her head in agreement.
'Yeah, I saw him. Hey guys, I'm going to go. I'll text you both and we'll get together before we have to go back to school! Okay?' I stood up and looked at both of them.
'Okay, we'll talk to you later.' Alexia said. She stood up and gave me a hug, Steve followed.
I walked outside to my car and opened the driver's side door. Someone grabbed my shoulder.
'Chris.' Drew said, he spun me around.
'Hi.' I looked at him in the eyes. His breath smelled like alcohol.
'How're you doing?' He said, his words were slurring.
'Not so good. You care? Yeah right.' I said. I shook his hand away from my shoulder.
'Yeah, I care. I missed you baby.' He leaned over and forced his lips on mine.
'Ew, you're drunk.' I said. He pulled my head back. He was pushing me up against my car.
'No I'm not. I know you want it,' He pushed his body up against mine. I tried to move away, but he just held on tighter.
'Drew, stop! Stop it now!' I yelled, pushing my arms in between his body and mine.
'Stop, Chris. You know you've missed me. Come on baby.' He forced me to turn around. I felt his hands undo my pants and pull down my briefs.
'DREW STOP!' I screamed, he put his hand over my mouth. I felt his cock prod my hole and then push in. I clenched, he was being too rough. His thrusts were hard and fast, I started to cry. I couldn't understand why he was doing this.
'Yeah, that feels good Chris. Tell me how much you missed me.' He whispered in my ear. I could smell the alcohol on his breath.
Tears dropped out of my eyes as I begged him one last time to stop what he was doing, 'Drew, stop! God, I can't stand you! I hate you so much, why are you doing this? Drew, STOP!'
I felt him pull out. He spun me around and put his face next to mine so that he was speaking in my ear. 'Because you're mine. And you'll always be mine,' he said, his tone of voice was harsh, 'got it?' He hissed.
I shook my head. He zipped up his jeans and walked around my car, walking back into the house.
I got into my car and just sat there for a while, crying. My head was in a rush and I couldn't seem to make anything out. I drove home and went inside, going to the bathroom. I opened the medicine cabinet up and pulled out sleeping pills; that's all I wanted to do, sleep. I dumped them into my hand and forced them into my mouth, swallowing them without water.
I felt dizzy walking up to my room. I took off my shirt and laid on my bed, I started to sweat. My heart was pounding and I felt the most unpleasant feeling I have ever felt in my entire life, and then there was darkness.
More to come.

Location: Poisonous Plant Research2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
Objective I: Determine Astragalus and Oxytropis species which contain fungal endophytes that produce swainsonine and describe the plant/endophyte relationship. 1.1 Identify species that contain the endophyte (Embellisia), determine transfer of the endophyte to successive generations, and determine if the endophyte increases fitness of locoweed plants. 1.2 Describe the distribution of the endophyte and swainsonine as a function of plant part and determine if swainsonine varies as a function of time. 1.3 Determine the effect of the endophyte on palatability of locoweeds. Objective II: Identify environmental conditions that will help predict population outbreaks of major locoweed species (Oxytropis sericea, Astragalus mollissimus, A. lentiginosus). Determine the conditions under which cattle, sheep, and horses graze locoweeds. 2.1 Relate locoweed population outbreaks to weather cycles. 2.2 Determine conditions under which livestock graze various locoweed species. 2.3 Determine influence of nitrogen supplements in livestock diet selection and locoweed poisoning. Objective III: Further describe effects of swainsonine and related polyhydroxy alkaloids on reproduction and body systems among livestock and wildlife species. 3.1 Conduct a comparative study of species differences to determine why mannosidases are inhibited differently. 3.2 Compare the effects of swainsonine on fetotoxicity among breeds of sheep and goats. 3.3 Compare effects of swainsonine on ovarian function among cattle, sheep, and goats. Objective IV: Characterize biomarkers of intoxication and develop better diagnostic and prognostic procedures. 4.1 Develop ELISA for locoweed intoxication. 4.2 Develop biomarkers of poisoning. Objective V: Further describe toxicoses and pathology of animals poisoned by Astragalus species containing nitro-propionic. Objective VI: Further describe the toxicosis, physiologic effects, and pathology of Astragalus and other selenium accumulating plants, and determine absorption, distribution, and elimination (clearance times) of various types and forms of selenium in livestock. 6.1 Describe the etiology and pathogenesis of selenium poisoning and deficiency in livestock and determine safe nutritional levels. 6.2 Determine the effect of selenium-reducing microflora on the selenium pharacokinetics when livestock consume seleniferous plant material.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
1.1 Seed from "endophyte-free" and endophyte-infected locoweed plants will be germinated to determine if the endophyte is transmitted and expressed in the next generation. If so, we will develop endophyte-free and endophyte–infected populations and compare their fitness and competitive ability. 1.2 O. sericea plants will be collected and separated into plant parts and the endophyte measured by PCR. Once the endophyte distribution within the plant is known, we will collect stalks from independent plants at 2 week intervals throughout the growing season to determine endophyte distribution and swainsonine synthesis over time. 1.3 Fungal endophytes will be grown in the laboratory using standard culture techniques, then added to ground alfalfa hay, and presented to individual animals in preference tests. 2.1 Locoweed density will be measured annually in locations throughout the Western US, and correlated with weather data to develop predictive models. 2.2 A series of grazing studies will be conducted in northeastern New Mexico beginning in late summer while grass is green and run through early winter as grasses senesce to determine cattle preference for woolly locoweed. 2.3 Supplemented and nonsupplemented groups of cattle will be grazed to determine if the supplement will reduce locoweed consumption. 3.1 Tissues from several animal species will be analyzed and mannosidase expression compared using immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, real time (RT)-PCR and Northern blots. Enzymatic in vitro assays of mannosidase activity will be compared using a modification of previously developed serum a-mannosidase assays. 3.2 Swainsonine will be fed to hair sheep, wool sheep and goats in increasing doses. Swainsonine absorption and elimination profiles will be developed, fetotoxic effects will be monitored by ultrasound, and maternal histological comparisons will be evaluated. 3.3 Swainsonine will be fed to heifers, ewes, and goats at increasing doses. Ultrasound imaging will be used to evaluate changes in follicular phase and cyst development, histological changes in ovaries will be compared, and the biological activity of anterior pituitary gonadotropins will be assayed. 4.1 Swainsonine-protein conjugates will be synthesized and injected subcutaneously into four sheep and antisera titers determined. Antisera exhibiting high titers that are specific to swainsonine will be developed into ELISA's. 4.2 Differences in blood proteome from animals poisoned by locoweed plants will be used to identify proteins that can be used as biomarkers, then they will be validated using actual locoweed intake data. 5. A dose response study in sheep and cattle will be conducted and tissues collected for microscopic, ultrastructural and chemical analysis. 6.1 Selenium from plant material will be compared to inorganic forms at increasing doses to determine bioavailability and toxicity in sheep. 6.2 Reproductively mature ewes will be inoculated with selenobacter (Wolinella succinogenes), fed gound seleniferous plant (Astragalus bisulcatus) for eight months to monitor the effects of chronic selenium dosing on estrus cycles, gestation, and initial growth of lambs.
3. Progress Report:
Poisoning by Astragalus and Oxytropis species has been historically divided into three groups based on the toxic syndromes they cause in livestock: locoism caused by the toxin swainsonine, selenium poisoning, and nitrotoxin poisoning. Locoweeds contain the toxic alkaloid swainsonine. A fungal endophyte, Undifilum oxytropis (previously identified as Embellisia), found in locoweed plant species was shown to be responsible for the synthesis of swainsonine. The influence of environment and genotype on swainsonine concentrations in locoweeds is being evaluated. A reference list of swainsonine-containing Astragalus and Oxytropis species is being made. Other plant species contain swainsonine, including some Swainsona (Leguminosae) species in Australia and some Ipomoea (Convolvulaceae), Turbina (Convolvulaceae), and Sida (Malvaceae) species in South America and Africa. Fungal endophytes that produce swainsonine have been isolated and are being characterized from Swainsona canescens and Ipomoea carnea. Studies are being performed to define the active principle in Ipomoea asarifolia. The influence of post-ingestive feedback as it relates to the consumption of selenium-containing forages is being investigated. Experiments are being performed to investigate the effect of selenium on reproductive rates in grazing livestock.
4. Accomplishments
1. Defining the clinical signs associated with selenium poisoning. Selenium concentrations in plants above 10 ppm are reported to be toxic to livestock. ARS scientists in Logan, UT fed sheep rations containing 0 to 60 ppm selenium for 90 days. There were no observable signs of toxicosis, although food intake decreased as the concentration of selenium in the ration increased. Sheep fed rations above 30 ppm Se had decreased reproductive rates. Whole blood, serum, hair and liver biopsy samples were analyzed to better understand selenium absorption, metabolism and clearance. Understanding selenium elimination rates and selenium effects on reproduction rates provides useful information for food safety and for producers of animals grazing on forages high in selenium.
2. Effect of selenium on rumen microflora. Some animals appear to be more tolerant to selenium toxicosis than others when grazing Se-accumulating forages. The effect of a high-Se diet on rumen fermentation and microbial shifts in selenium metabolizing microbes was investigated by ARS researchers in Logan, UT using artificial rumen fermenters. Orchardgrass containing 50 ppm Se had no negative impacts on laboratory assessments of ruminal fermentation. An increase in selenate metabolizing microbes, however, suggests that high dietary Se may cause ruminal adaptations that render selenium less bioavailable. Such an adaptation of rumen microbes helps to explain why some animals are more Se-tolerant than others. This information will be used to better manage livestock when grazing on seleniferous forages.
3. Palatability of selenium-containing forage. Rangeland plants that uptake selenium in moderate to high concentrations are reputed to be very unpalatable to livestock, yet free-grazing livestock are periodically poisoned when grazing on ranges with high Se-containing plants. Studies were conducted by ARS scientists in Logan, UT to determine if cattle and sheep could discriminate Se concentrations in forages in the absence of post-ingestive feedback, and to determine the inherent animal preference for Se-containing forages. Neither cattle nor sheep initially selected or rejected forages based on Se concentrations (0 – 4000 ppm) when offered various Se-containing plants in preference tests. However, cattle were totally averted to the high selenium plant after initial exposure. Understanding the relative palatability of selenium containing forage relative to other forages provides useful information to producers of animals grazing on forages high in selenium.
4. The toxic principle of Ipomoea asarifolia, a morning glory. The Ipomoea (morning glory) genus contains many species, a number of which contain the same toxin as locoweeds. Additionally, some Ipomoea species contain ergot alkaloids. Consumption of these Ipomoea species is reputed to cause muscular tremors and behavioral alterations in domestic livestock. The effects of various Ipomoea asarifolia concentrations (0, 5, 10, 15, & 20%) of the diet for 60 days were examined by ARS researchers in Logan, UT using a mouse model in collaboration with Brazilian scientists. Mice were evaluated periodically for physiologic and behavioral signs of intoxication. No physiologic and behavioral signs were observed in mice. Defining the active principle of a poisonous plant is key to making management-based decisions for livestock managers.
5. Swainsonine and endophyte interactions in locoweed associated with plant development. It is not known if swainsonine and endophyte amounts in white point loco (Oxytropis sericea) are influenced by geographic location, portion of the plant being measured (crown, floral, and leaves), and the developmental stage of the plant. ARS researchers in Logan, UT analyzed swainsonine and endophyte amounts in white loco at four different locations, in different plant parts, and at different developmental stages. Swainsonine and endophyte amounts increase as the plant matures and swainsonine amounts were positively associated with endophyte amounts. Due to this research, better predictions can be provided to producers regarding relative risk of animals grazing on locoweeds.
6. Influence of seed endophyte amount in locoweeds. Two types of plants exist within toxic populations of locoweeds: one that is toxic and contains swainsonine and endophyte and one that is much less toxic and contains very little or no swainsonine and endophyte. It is not known whether the plant genotype or endophyte amounts in the seeds are responsible for this difference. ARS researchers in Logan, UT demonstrated that these two types of plants could be interchanged by manipulating seed endophyte amounts. ARS researchers demonstrated that plants derived from fungicide treatment of seeds had very little swainsonine and endophyte.

Recently my girlfriend and I got into a fight because I asked what her opinion on love was and she told me she didn't know because she can't love. I felt hurt because she told me she loved me, so I asked why did you tell me that?(all this conversation was over text?) She tried explaining that she doesn't love me, just cares deeply for me. That's when I asked have been hurt badly before and she explained how her childhood was rough. Then she told me she doesn't want to hurt me anymore, when she only hurt me once. I tried texting her back that I still like her and want to continue our relationship, but she hasn't responded
Most Helpful Girl
You both are so young! Love comes in many forms and it's not that she can't love, it's that she's afraid to love. This probably has a lot to do with her childhood and how it formed her opinion on what love is.
Be patient with her, be her friend! Talk to her about this in person!
This is important! Do NOT discuss important matters over text!!! Seriously, just don't do it! You will miscommunicate yourself and misread everything the other person texts you. If it's important, be respectful, pick up the phone, and actually talk to the person! If this is too scary, then you shouldn't be in a relationship with them. If you spend more time texting than actual face to face contact with a person than what you have is not a relationship, it's a glorified pen pal.00|00|0

I spent part of the afternoon on the Great July Organize Your
Genealogy Files project. I'd been so wrapped up first in the John
Ames file and then Aunt Dot's Memories transcriptions that I
hadn't made very much headway. But I had bought a denim sort
of material expandable file case a week ago to move some of my
files into and today was the day I got that done. These are the
original family sheets Aunt Dot sent us years ago that have been
kept in several manila file folders for years now. While they were
in order most of the time, they frequently would get shuffled
around when I was going through them looking for something.
They certainly look better in the case filed alphabetically by
family name.
I was also looking for some links to some of the places Dot
mentioned in her memories and found one for Gould Academy. I
glanced at the history page and I think either Mr. Hanscom or
Mr. Ireland was the headmaster who finally asked her about my
Dad. I couldn't find any suitable sites for Wilson's Mills or the
Azicohos(or Aziscoos) Dam so I'll have to wait until later for that.
I'll get back to the John Ames files again in the next few posts.

Ocean is full of plastic waste and soon all the plastics will turn into microscopic particles and it will end up in fish and we won't be able to eat them. Are u afraid?
Most Helpful Guy
You know what is bad for dumping so much rubbish into the sea is Cruise ships. They look all shiny and nice to the visitors but they dump rubbish, oil, cleaning products etc etc into the sea. Cruise ships also burn poor quality fuel and cause extra unnecessary pollution to our breathing air.
Look at this image. The passengers see what is in front of the curtain and what really goes on is behind the curtain.
Cigarettes are bad to, when someone drops their cigarette down in public on the street is washes down the drain, out to the sea and fish eat the cigarette and die.

"so pleased i went to notts city hospital for my..."
About: City Hospital campus City Hospital campus Nottingham NG5 1PB
Posted by Anonymous
What I liked
attended the city hospital for a thyroidectomy and the whole experience was excellent. i was only in from 7 am one day until 2pm the following day and i stayed in the hospital hotel the day before and the day after. the surgeon was excellent
the hospital hotel staff were so friendly and helpful and so were the staff on the hospital ward. (winifred ward i think)
What could be improved
even though i only needed paracetamol and ibruprofen, it took 5 hours for the pharmacy to give these to me so keeping a bed occupied for no reason.

The Monk of Fools is the first chapter of The Avatar of the Fire Temple.
As the play could not continue, one of the ambassadors suggested that the crowd instead had fun electing a "Monk of Fools", the person who could make the ugliest face.
A small window was knocked out of the chapel opposite the Fire Nation Palace. This was where the contestants would appear.
Some of the crowd gathered in the chapel, waiting unseen until it's their turn to display their ugliest faces. The contest began right away.
One after another, the citizens of the Fire Nations made hideous faces through the window frame.
The crowd went wild with excitement and laughter, as each person tried to outdo the last, until...... the crowd gasped. A face more repulsive than any other they had seen stares out from the chapel window.
The hairless skull, the blue arrows on the head, the mob clearly had a winner. Someone recognized the face as that of Aang, the Avatar of the Fire Temple.
The people called for Aang to come out and receive his "prize." They clapped and cheered until the Avatar appeared.
A young Water Tribe man, named Sokka, emerged from the crowd and pointed at Aang's face. He teased the poor wretch, laughing at how he looked different. "Are you a goblin?" he teased
However, Sokka got more than her bargained for. With great power, Aang struck him I'm the chest with airbending and sent him flying backwards, limbs flailing.
The crowd laughed and applauded the spectacle. They then dressed Aang in a robe like the monk and crowned him with a strange hat.
Aang was not used to so much more attention. He smiled happily as several strong men placed him on a throne and carried him aloft for all the capital to see.
Haru watched in dismay. He could not understand why the people would rather watch Aang than his masterpiece. What an ignorant mob!

ok so this guy and I just started seeing each other and it's going pretty good he is actually visiting his family this weekend.. anyways on to the question, so we are in the mushy blissful stage so this morning he seems me a good morning text msg. when I get it I get an instant smile on my face and text him back "good morning. p. s. I have a big ole smile on my face". he then texts back " why is that? ", so I respond " because it's nice to wake up to a good morning from some body you really like " . and he responds " oh, that's good". so my question is would that be considered a good response or was what I said pushing it to far and he freaked?
Most Helpful Guy
You didn't push it too far at all. If he freaks out on that, he wasn't that into you in the first place.
I've never known a rational person to say to themselves "MAN, I REALLY like this girl, I totally dig her, she's everything I ever wanted in a woman... beautiful, smart, funny, cool to hang out with... wait, what's this? She responded to a text with 'it's nice to wake up to a text message from me'? THAT'S IT! IT's OVER! THAT BITCH!"11|00|0

Cats become very comfortable in their home environment and moving to a new home, where everything is unfamiliar, can be very unsettling.
Their new home looks different, smells different, and the familiar marks your cat leaves behind to help orient itself are gone.
There are many things we can do to help our cats feel safe, secure and happy in their new home.
Plug in a Feliway Diffuser in your current home to help comfort and reassure your cat while you prepare for the move. Having realtors, possible buyers or tenants entering your house can be stressful for your cat, and packing all of your belongings can make your cat's previously familiar environment seem strange and foreign.
Plug in a Feliway Diffuser in your new home, ideally 24 hours before moving your cat. When your cat arrives, the pheromones in Feliway will send a message that this is a safe and familiar place.
Before travelling with your cat, see our tips for making the carrier a familiar, safe place.
When you arrive at your new home, place the carrier on the floor, open the carrier door and let your cat exit when it feels ready. Never force your cat to exit the carrier.
Keep the Feliway Diffuser plugged in for a minimum of 30 days to help your cat settle in. Replace Refills monthly, as needed, to provide ongoing comfort and reassurance.
Apply Feliway Spray to your cat's bedding and other key surfaces in your new home such as doorways and door frames, corners of walls and new furniture or cabinetry for additional, targeted support.

I am in awe of the brilliant team on this ward. The way the treat both children and adults is wonderful. My seven year old is very nervousness of hospitals and procedures but from the moment we arrived last night they have done all they could to put him at ease. Their method of taking blood samples is genius and he didn't even notice it had been done. I will never see bubbles in the same way again. He is improving thanks to such professional and thoughtful staff. Thank you everyone our NHS is as good because of the people working for it.

If going for education, students can also carry a foreign exchange travel card specially customized for them for their day to day expenses which would be quite cheaper than using a credit or a debit card.
Euro is available at money exchangers in Bangalore and both in private and nationalized banks but local money exchangers can?t be trusted as far as the rates are concerned because most money changers charge a fixed rate for a particular currency on a given day, whereas actually the Euro rates fluctuate constantly all through the day, as is the case with stocks in a stock exchange. Banks keep a very high margin on the interbank rates.
Therefore it is always smarter to purchase euro from an online forex marketplace as these sites specially the aggregators like BookMyForex have tied up with multiple banking partners and foreign exchange companies which gives them access to extremely preferential exchange rates that they pass on to the customers.
You can place your forex order online or at our app in few steps or simply through phone. Getting doorstep delivery is something every customer desires today and to provide absolute convenience to the customers BookMyForex provides doorstep delivery in all localities of Bangalore. We have an efficient customer support service that will not only assist you in taking decision about the best suitable forex product to purchase but also will make sure you get timely delivery. One can also lock in live exchange rates on www.bookmyforex.com when the rates are the lowest and remit money within 3 days to counter fluctuating exchange rates. Therefore whether you are shopping for your wardrobe or forex, do not forget to check the rates online as they are certainly the best.

So you are thinking about rooting your Xperia device, are you? Following our guide's, you could have your device rooted within the hour and ready for the next stages.( Please read this article before you start anything in this section ).
Before you do anything in our rooted zone please note ( WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICES BY WHY OF ROOTING OR ANY OTHER IN THIS WEB SITE ) its your choosing to do so.
We'll it is recommended that you understand exactly what this means before you start as there could be complications and we would hate for anyone to turn their beloved smart phone into an expensive paper weight. Effectively what you are doing when unlocking your boot loader and modding is your phone is removing the Sony Ericsson or Sony software and running different software packages which can improve certain performances and features but then take away some official ones. For example, some custom roms will mean that Android Market will not recognize your phone as an Xperia device and downloading optimized games might become quite difficult. This is just a summary of the good and bad points, perhaps to help you make up your mind.
The good -
There is a lot of perks to rooting our device though. Unlocking certain features, new functionality and customizing Android like you probably hadn't even thought of. Some of tese in fact even sort out little things that I believe that Sony got wrong with the PLAY. Like the lack of internal memory for a start, with a rooted device you would be able to transfer all apps to your micro SD, keeping that internal memory free'd up for performance. You can overclock the processor to make it run faster, make that 1GHz restriction a run for its money. There is even a whole library of applications available on Android market for rooted only devices, think of it like a members only club. The greatest back up app 'Titanium' is there with a few others too.
The BadLoading custom roms could remove the cool Sony stuff like PS Pocket and the Xperia PLAY Launcher. You could find it harder to get hold of Xperia PLAY optimized games and even worse you could lose Crash Bandicoot. Even with the most popular custom Rom CyanogenMod, we have come across Xperia PLAY optimized games where the touch pads don't work and on Android Market games that should do are not available for yoru device. Mainly this is because your Xperia PLAY has lost its identity so to speak. When browsing Market the PLAY usually sends a signal sayign what hardware it is, with some custom software it could look more like a genric Android device. This is where you will find Stock ROMs probably better. These are just slightly modified versions of Sony Ericsson stock software with all of the original apps and functionality, but with the option to have a customizable Kenel and acces to the super user functions. You won't be able to update your handset to the latest software using Sony Ericsson software either, you will have to wait for someone to make a customized version of it, If you try to update via sony ericsson you could brick your divice.
The BrokenThe reality is, by loading custom roms and Kernels, there is every change you will brick your phone. What does that mean? Well your phone is as useless as a brick. This is when the operating system becomes corrupt and nothing works, thus your Xperia PLAY is nothign more than hardware. This is usually the result of neglegance as opposed to experimental attitudes. Disconnecting your PLAY from USB whilst it is in the process of loading software, that is asking for trouble, so dont do it! That is the worst case scenario mind you. If that happens you won't be able to get it repaired or replaced by Sony Ericsson because you would have voided your Warranty when you unlocked the bootloader.
What do you think?The important thing to remember is the Xperia PLAY is a gaming device not some generic Android touch screen but the worlds greatest open source games console. I would only recommend that if you are tempted to start joining the expanding world of moded DROIDs that you are atleast good with computers and file formats. If you don't know how to install a non Market application for example, then you don't have a chance with this stuff. But if you do fancy giving it a go, we have written some step by step tutorials and advice to help guide you through your baby steps of the modified world of Android.
Getting StartedThere is several different stages to rooting your device and sever different ways to customise the original software. First you can unlock your bootloader, which gives you then the ability to load customised Kernels, Roms and Tweaks. This stage will void your warranty with Sony Ericsson, they are more than keen for developers and users to run altered software but they can't guarantee the quality and the results it will have on your hardware. For example, if you overclock your device to higher speeds, it could melt your processor (that would be fun to see). Below is just an explanantion of a few terminologies.
if this sounds too much for you there are new ways to root and semi mod your device for leaving your bootloader locked but you are restricted on what you can do. Please read through article's first to find out if that mod is compatible with your locked bootloaders just in case.
Kernel - the kernal programs are like the brains of your phone, they control booting up, operating systems (os), programs and hardware. Sonys stock software will have them built in but some custom roms will need you to install one to install and run custom roms.
Stock Rom - Stock roms are offical Sony operating systems (os) software that come preinstalled on any out of the box sony ericsson mobile phone handset
Custom Rom - Custom roms are unoffical alternate operating systems (os) software made from other different devolpers for your sony ericsson mobile phone handsets.
Tweaks - Are add on programs for stock or custom operating systems (os) such as system apps and system settings.
Rooted Apps - rooted apps are application programs which need root access to be able to work and run on your mobile phone handsets.
Bricked Device - If you can image your phone being a brick, that is it. This is when your device has been screwed to bits software wise and will no longer function. On the rare occasion, it can be saved by flashing it but that is rare. When modding and customising with unofficial software for the play, this is always a possibility.
Flashtool - Flashtool is a program on your personal computers made for installing or flashing stock sony ericsson software plus other advanced tweeks to you sony ericsson xperia mobile phone handsets.
Bootloader - the key to properly modding this is a lock on your phone that sony ericsson has put on there to prevent you from modding you will need this unlocked to be able to do most of whats in our mod section see are guide for more info.
Fastboot - Fastboot is a program or (command line tool) on your personal computers for unlocking bootloaders, and for flashing or installing kernals (img files) and other types of software (img files) on you sony ericsson mobile phone handsets.
Super User App - this app you will get preinstalled on your system when you root your mobile phone handsets to give you the ability to grant super user (root access) to other mobile phone applications (programs).
Nandroid Back Up - Most accurate form of back up for Android. Inside the recovery mode of the Kernel, you can do a back up which backs up EVERYTHING!!!! Unlike apps from market whcih back up personal content, settings and apps themselves. The Nandroid back up, duplicates the entire code to your memory card. So when you restore everything is how it was before.

Liner LLP is proud to congratulate Jerry Neuman and Stuart Liner who have made the Los Angeles Business Journal's second annual "500 Most Influential People in Los Angeles" list!
The list is the result of an intense effort to narrow a dynamic region of 10 million people into a list of 500 who represent one of the most vibrant business, cultural and civic communities in the nation.
The researchers at the Los Angeles Business Journal combed through thousands of entries in the dozens of lists produced each year, looking for people whose quiet presence in the area belies the influence they hold to compile a list of the best of Los Angeles.
Congratulations to Jerry and Stuart on this well-deserved recognition.

If that stock internet browser on your Android smartphone does not live up to your expectations, you are probably using one of its numerous alternatives. But even if it seemingly gets the job done, it is always a good idea seeing what the substitutes are, as they often come loaded with goodies you may have never thought you'd use.
Firefox for Android, one of the most popular alternatives to that built-in web browser, has just been updated to version 8, which brings along a set of both minor and major improvements. A Master Password feature has been included in the app's latest release and lets you encrypt the usernames and passwords that the browser stores onto your device. Another new addition is the ability to add bookmarks on your home screen for quick access.
The number of add-ons compatible with Firefox 8 for Android is growing too. Over 160 of them are currently available for download, and developers are working hard on bringing new ones to the community. How can add-ons enhance the experience? Well, they can not only add some eye candy to the browser's interface, but can also add new features, such as the ability to search people and topics on Twitter, for example.
As always, Firefox 8 for Android is absolutely free to download and use, so do not hesitate to try it out. It works on devices running Android 2.0 and above.

"I think with us there is an agreement that a break up in Iraq would be a tremendous problem for all of us," said the King in an interview on Tuesday with a US television station. Abd Allah, who was in Tehran earlier this month, said President Muhammad Khatami believed tensions between Iraq's religious and ethnic factions could be a destabilising factor. "They see the destabilisation, the ethnic conflict - Shia on Shia and Sunni on Shia - being disastrous for all of us. And so, there is enough there for us to agree upon and work together on." The King is scheduled to meet US President George Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell to discuss the current situation in the Middle East. Source: AFP

Ukrop's Offers Mil-spec Bandages
The bandages use chitosan to stop stubborn bleeding.
Ukrop's Supermarkets, Inc. has taken consumer first aid to a new level with a new bandage offering made using blood-stopping technology found in bandages that the U.S. Army uses in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Supplied to Ukrop's by Portland, Ore.-based HemCon Medical Technologies, Inc., the KytoStat Bandage was designed to stop stubborn bleeding while sealing and protecting the wound when it is in direct contact with blood and pressure is applied.
Ukrop's said it is offering the bandage line as a new option of wound care for consumers on blood-thinning medications, as well as those who work and play in extreme environments.
"KytoStat will serve an important need for many of our customers," said John Beckner, director of pharmacy and health services for Richmond, Va.-based Ukrop's. "Our pharmacists [are] providing counseling and information on this unique new product."
Ukrop's offers the bandage in all 28 of its Virginia stores in Richmond, Roanoke, Fredericksburg, and Williamsburg.
The 1-inch x 4-inch KytoStat Bandage is engineered with chitosan, a compound that is naturally found in shrimp shells. According to HemCon, KytoStat gives these people control when conditions or medications - such as low-dose aspirin regimens for people with heart trouble -- interfere with the body's blood clotting ability.
Ukrop's operates 28 retail food stores, Joe's Market (a regional specialty market), a central bakery and kitchen, and a distribution center.

With the release of Mass Effect 3 just weeks away I figured I would add my two cents on what is too come in the next game. Shepard and humanity will be pushed to the brink to defeat an enemy who slaughters millions without hesitation. It would seem the Reapers are a seemingly invicible enemy but are they?
Sovereigns destruction in Mass Effect One showed that the Reapers can be killed. Even though it took an entire fleet to destroy one Reaper it proved they can be killed. I believe the Reapers weakness exists in their overconfidence in their success which for millions of years has proved right so far. The Reapers have wiped out all previous galactic life and civilizations such as the Protheans and despite their best efforts to fight back have proved utterly futile. But here are some mistakes that could lead to their downfall in Mass Effect 3.
One: The Prothean Beacons on Ilos and Eden Prime demostrated to Shepard that the Reaper threat was real. Despite the Protheans being wiped out and turned into the Collectors, they left enough of a warning to future generations to be forewarned of their arrival. Because of this Shepard acted on the information that ultimately led to Sovereigns defeat at the Citadel. Plus the threat of the Reapers was confirmed when Shepard spoke to Sovereign on Virmire.
Two: With the knowledge of the Reapers, Shepard has delayed their arrival at least by a few years. Before when the Reapers wiped out the Protheans they never saw it coming. The Reapers were able to destroy the leaders of the Prothean Empire at the Citadel and cut off Prothean systems from one another to ensure they couldn't communicate or travel by using the Mass Relays. But with Sovereigns destruction at the Citadel and the Council saved, this delayed the Reapers arrival and ensured that the Mass Relays could still be used. Also Vigils information allowing Shepard to have access to the Citadels controls made sure the Keepers couldn't help the Reapers return. There is no way the Reapers anticipated that their plans would be set back so far just by the actions of one individual. Plus when Shepard destroyed the Collectors and also the Alpha Relay from the Arrival dlc it showed the Reapers that the enemy they were facing would go to any length to stop them from returning. Even with the Council dragging its heels on the Reaper threat Shepard took the initiative to fight back against the Reapers and delay them. Shepard became an unknown quantity to the Reapers and even though his actions demostrated to the Reapers he would fight they still don't know what he has planned.
Three: The lack of respect for organic life means the Reapers overconfidence in their victory almost doomed to fail. In a war you should always respect your enemy and expect the unexpected. These two things the Reapers failed on both accounts. With their lack of foresight into expecting that there would be resistance to them and their return they allowed one man to virtually hinder their otherwise timely arrival. One Reaper clearly wasn't enough given that Sovereign was so easily destroyed once Shepard took control of the Citadel back. Because of their lack of respect for organic life they made the mistake into thinking that their would be know way for them to be defeated. The Protheans ensured that future civilizations would find their artifacts and learn about the Reapers arrival and what happened to the Protheans. The Reapers underestimated organics and didn't see that the Protheans ensured their downfall with leaving the Beacon on Eden Prime and Vigil on Ilos. Also from what has been revealed through the Mass Effect 3 demo and information leaks, the Protheans developed some kind of weapon to be used against the Reapers and defeat them. This is why Shepard in Mass Effect 3 travels to the various worlds and recruits the different species to fight the Reapers.
Four: Isolation is one of the most powerful weapons in the Reaper arsenal. With it they cut off the Prothean systems from one another and were able to defeat them. But with their underestimation of organic life the Protheans ensured that the future civilizations would have a fighting chance. And given Shepard acted on the information Sovereign was destroyed and the arrival delayed with the destruction of an entire Batarian system. Because of this the Mass Relays are still linked and the galaxy can better defend itself from the Reapers. Because of Shepards mission to gather the military forces of the galaxies against the Reapers, the Reapers will have a harder time fighting back. Because they no longer face an enemy cut off from help but instead face an enemy who will be unified to stop the Reapers. This more than anything will ensure Shepards victory in Mass Effect 3.
Don't get me wrong it won't be an easy fight and the Reapers are a powerful enemy but with what I listed above I think the galaxy has a better chance of ending the cycle once and for all.

Mercedes Hits the Snow with Snowboarder in Tow – Video
Mercedes is showing off the powers of its 4MATIC all-wheel drive system in a new video released by the brand, showing a C350 4MATIC Coupe towing a professional snowboarder.
Mercedes says that to truly appreciate its all-wheel drive system, you have to see it in action, hence this video.
4MATIC equipped passenger cars incorporate a 45:55 front/rear torque split, though as much as a 30:70 bias toward the back tires is possible, depending on road conditions. The system aims at delivering sporty driving, yet predictable handling in all conditions.
SEE ALSO: Mercedes 4MATIC AWD System Review
The snowboarder in tow is Rob Kingwill, who puts the finishing touches on the video by jumping a G-Class.
