Ultra-low microcurrent therapy: A novel approach for treatment of chronic resistant wounds

This study was undertaken to investigate the efficacy of ultra-low microcurrent delivered by the Electro Pressure Regeneration Therapy (EPRT) device for the management of chronic wounds. In this study, 23 patients with chronic skin ulcers and 2 with abdominal dehiscence that was present for an average of 16.5 mo, who were not responsive to standard conservative treatment in a hospital setting, were treated with the EPRT device. Wounds were treated with direct current (maximum of 3 mA) of 1 polarity for 11.5 min and then with a current of the opposite polarity for another 11.5 min. Treatment was applied through ultra-low microcurrents (in the mA to nA range) conducted through special wraps applied above and below the wound. The results revealed that 34.8% of cases achieved complete wound healing after an average of 45.6 h of treatment, and 39.1 % achieved ≥50% healing after an average of 39.7 h of treatment. Several patients achieved significant results after 1 to 2 treatments. The EPRT device not only accelerated healing but also appeared to negate the effect of a person's age on wound healing.

I've just been asked a question that comes up with unfailing regularity: what should the advice to parents be 'if a school insists on students learning "key words" by sight and asks you as a parent to help'.
The sad truth is that if a school is sending words home that are to be learnt 'by sight', it is clear that they don't have confidence in their own understanding of how the sounds of the language relate to the spelling/writing system and how to teach that system. Words identified by schools as 'key words' almost invariably come from the list of high frequency words listed as an appendix in Letters and Sounds. All of these words can easily be taught as part of a good quality phonics programme. This is because all words are comprised of sounds and all sounds in words have been assigned spellings, even if some of those spellings are less frequent than others. That being the case, it's a tall order to expect any parent to know what to do with lists of 'key words' sent home for a pupil to learn to read and/or spell unless they are (a) literate, and (b) know how the alphabet code works.
In addition, the question isn't easy to respond to because the answer will also be predicated on the quality of the phonics programme the pupil is being taught (or not being taught!) at school and on the order in which sounds and spellings are introduced. This means that what the pupil will need help with will always depend on the pupil's prior knowledge. For example, has the pupil covered all one-to-one (one-letter spellings to one sound) correspondences? Has s/he been introduced to the idea that many sounds can be spelled with two letters in the context of double consonants? Has s/he improved their skills of blending and segmenting sufficiently to be able to spell four and five-sound words containing adjacent consonants? And, has s/he begun to learn the different ways to spell the remaining sounds in English and to understand explicitly how the code works?
So, to answer the question in practicable terms, I would always say to any parent, unless you really think the school is going to listen to you and to change its practice when you tell them that they shouldn't be teaching 'key words' as 'sight words', you probably won't get very far by fighting them. This means that if you're not satisfied the school is doing the job properly and you don't want to change schools – after all, the child may love their class teacher and everything else about the school may be just what you want – I would say take responsibility for teaching your child yourself! Then, when your child brings home a list of words taken from the first one hundred high frequency word list, do the following.
For reading:
Take however many squares of paper are required and write the spellings for the sounds in each of the words in the list sent home. For example, if the first word is 'said', write the spellings for the sounds in 'said' on three squares: thus, s ai d for the sounds /s/ /e/ /d/. Then word-build the word by following the instructions I have already outlined in this blog post. At the end of the process, when you have asked the pupil to read the word /s/ /e/ /d/ 'said', point to the ai spelling of /e/ and say, 'In this word, we spell /e/ like this.' Now, ask the pupil to write the word, saying each sound as they write the spelling: /s/ /e/ /d/ and then again read the word sound by sound at the end. You will probably need to repeat this process a number of times during the week.
You might also want to add that the spelling ai is a less frequent spelling of /e/. If the pupil is a bit older, you could also add that the spelling reflects the way the word was once pronounced. It would at one time have rhymed with 'spade' and, in fact, many people today in, say, the West Country today still say the word in this way.
Similarly, you teach 'they' in exactly the same way and point to the ey spelling and say, 'This is one of the ways in which we spell the sound /ae/. [You find the same spelling of the sound in other words like 'grey' and 'prey'.]
For spelling:
Take the word list. Here's one my own daughter brought home many years ago: 'she', 'mum', 'dad', 'that' and 'go'.
Sit next to the pupil with the list of words out of their line of sight and on a small white board or piece of paper, tell the pupil that the first word is 'she'. Ask the pupil to say the sounds in 'she'. As they say /sh/ /ee/, you write the spellings sh and e. Now you point to the spelling e and say, 'In this word, we spell the sound /ee/ like this, pointing to the e. Now, you ask the pupil to read it back, /sh/ /e/, perhaps also reminding them that sometimes we spell a sound with two letters, pointing to the sh. Finally the pupil writes the word, saying the sounds as they do. After a couple of days of this, responsibility for writing the spellings of each word passes to the pupil. Now, repeat the procedure with the other words.
What you need to remember is that you use straightforward, simple language: there are sounds and there are spellings. If you're not sure of a word yourself, ask yourself what the individual sounds you hear in a word are and match each sound to each spelling. When you are reading together and you come to a word that contains a sound-spelling correspondence that your pupil/child has never seen before, you run your pencil under the spelling and say that this is /x/. For example, in the word 'through', you might have to run your pencil under the ough and say, 'This is one sound. It's /oo/. Say /oo/ here.' And the pupil should say /th/ /r/ /oo/ 'through' [always assuming that they've already encountered the th spelling for /th/ unvoiced.].
Having given all of that advice you need to be aware that simply by responding to what a school sends home is only going to enable you to teach part of what needs to be taught and, given that your teaching will always be reactive to what the school sends home, even using the above techniques, your teaching will not be systematic. What you really need to do to teach a pupil to read and spell to a high degree of proficiency is to teach a high quality, coherently and systematically structured phonics programme that teaches all the sound-spelling correspondences, the skills of segmenting, blending and phoneme manipulation, and conceptual understanding of how the code works in practice. And for that you need high quality training!

NB: It should also be stated that the advice the DfE is now giving is explicitly against teaching any of the high frequency words listed in Letters and Sounds by 'sight'.

New York, Oct.1 (ANI): Accepting terrorism to be a menace that was hindering global peace, development and progress, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday said that there was a need for one and all to address the underlying causes of this ever present threat and challenge.
Delivering his annual address at the 70th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), Sharif pointed out that Muslims are suffering across the world, including those living in Palestine and Kashmir, were being oppressed by foreign occupation; persecuted as minorities; and facing constant discrimination.
The prime minister said the global threat of terrorism cannot be defeated unless its underlying causes are addressed.
"Poverty and ignorance are part of the problem. Extremist ideologies must be opposed," he said. (ANI)

A blood splatter analyst, also called a bloodstain pattern analyst, assists investigators in criminal investigations. By analyzing the type of blood, how it pools, where it splashes and what smears were made at the scene of a crime, bloodstain pattern analysts often can reconstruct a crime. They can tell investigators whose blood is at a crime scene, whether the crime occurred at the scene or elsewhere, what kind of weapon was used and whether the victim fought back.
Earn a bachelor's degree in forensic science, which prepares you for a number of jobs within the law-enforcement field. During your coursework, you must take courses designed to prepare you for the certification process. These include crime scene investigation technology, evidence recovery and forensic science. You should also take a photography course.
Take a course that provides at least 40 hours of specific blood splatter training, which is another prerequisite for certification. Acceptable courses often are offered through local police departments, such as the Basic Bloodstain Pattern Analysis Course offered by the Baltimore Police Department.
Land a job with a police department laboratory, through a private lab that works with blood and crime scenes, or in a hospital. You must accrue at least three years in a crime-scene-related field before you can apply for certification from the International Association for Identification. Your work history must be documented by your employer and must indicate that you have been working in the field, assisting with blood splatter analysis.
Study for the exam using the texts and courses recommended by the International Association for Identification, which administers the tests. Apply for and take the examination for certification. The test has four parts and you must achieve a minimum of 75 percent to pass.

Frank Harper is a well-loved figure who came to Clayoquot Sound with his young family at age forty in 1970. I was a teacher at a factory-like university in Oregon, he says. I was seeking to change my life, to find a way to drop out and to drop in. I wanted to find a simple place to live, to find community and self sufficiency and adventure.
Harper and a small group of friends settled on a south-facing sandy beach on land below Catface Mountain, a twenty-minute boat ride from Tofino. To this day they continue to legally squat (and pay taxes) on the Crown land beneath Catfaces bumpy outline that can be seen from the Whiskey Dock of what he refers to as the neo-classical resort of Tofino.
The story of how Harper achieved his drop-in objective is told in Frank Harpers Journeys (Cherub Books ___), a charming collection of personal essays that sold out its first printing in six months, despite being sold being only available from two stores. Most significantly, Harper founded, edited and published The Sound Newspaper with a village of volunteers. In business since 1990, that newspaper remains the best record of Tofino when it was still a fishing village at the end of the road.
In short, Frank Harper is Tofinos Steinbeck. His talents include a great ear for dialogue and the ability to make you feel right there in the story with him. Illustrated by Joanna Streetlys line drawings, Journeys is a collection of Harpers essays that appeared under the same title in The Sound. A few additional stories were written specifically for this collection.
Journeys is book-ended by two storiesset thirty years apartin which Harper is struggling to get to the Whiskey Dock in his car. In the first tale, a dog sleeping in the middle of the road stops him; in the second, a tourist traffic gridlock holds him up.
Other stories include an amusing tale of a bogus tsunami warning, a canoe rescue from Catface, a storm journal, life as a wilderness chef cooking moose meat, our occasional beastly attitudes towards nature and a tale set in Smiley's Bowling Alley with a pesky interviewer.
Journeys is filled with amazing adventures, big and small, in which Harper is usually the central character. But the book deals with a more profound journey than mine, he notes. An ever-changing mysterious wilderness is intruded upon by the sudden, money-haunted globalization of a tiny village."
Produced by Cherub Booksa loose collection of Tofitians who have contributed both financial and digital support to the projectFrank Harpers Journeys is now into its second printing. Harper neither decries nor laments; he simply uses his keen eye and ear to help us bear witness.
[Journeys is available from two Tofino bookstores: Wildside Booksellers (250-725-42222, email@example.com) and Mermaid Tales Bookshop (250-725-2125, email@example.com).]

Maintain Daily Sobriety With A Daily Tenth Step
January 31, 2013
I was speaking with a friend of mine, and yes he is an alcoholic as well, about a situation he has been facing.
Preliminarily, I'd like to inform you that there are many recovering male alcoholics and addicts that are some of the most forthcoming, open, honest and sensitive men I have ever met, irrespective of sexual orientation. I am so grateful for the friendships that I have forged in Alcoholics Anonymous ("AA").
As it turns out, the situation involved me, unbeknownst to me. To preserve anonymity I will not mention his name, although I will say that we have been close friends since the very beginning of sobriety. We both went to rehab together in Tucson, AZ and both currently live in Los Angeles. In fact, I even have a very enviable, platonic relationship with his wife and I often sit for their 6 year old son.
With that said, he came to me to discuss our friendship. Actually, I was a little concerned that he was upset with me because our last couple of interactions have been unlike they generally are. With that said, I put it in the back of my mind, until he brought it up yesterday over dinner with his wife.
Actually, his wife brought it up and then he took it from there.
He that said he had been resentful of me because I have not had as much time for him as I usually had, and that he thought I was putting one of my other friendships ahead of our friendship, i.e., he was jealous, and he told me so. At that moment a tear weld up inside.
I knew we were close, but I never imagined that he valued our relationship as much as he did. Both of us sat there, with his wife, laughing and crying, alternately.
My part is that I have not traditionally been good at maintaining relationships. I have nearly been oblivious of other people's feelings as I never took the time to even consider my own. All my life I have been on the go, at light speed ahead, focused on the next thing in front of me.
At that moment I took the time to say a prayer to be more conscientious and to pay attention, not only to how I feel but to check in with those who are of value to me.

Forgetting what I just came into the room to get
Tripping over absolutely nothing or running into things.
Being loyal and honest
Frying chicken
Being silly
making random movie quotes
TV: The Walking Dead, Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural, Hell's Kitchen, MasterChef, Nashville, Once Upon a Time, The Voice, General Hospital, Orange is the New Black, and Sleepy Hollow.
Music: Mostly Country, Classic Rock, and 90's Grunge/Alternative
Food: Italian, Mexican, American. I tend to get on wine kicks depending on the weather (right now it's anything white and fruity).
Movies: A little bit of everything - I rarely hate any movie!
You must be able to conduct yourself as an adult. I am an honest person and you should be able to respect my opinions even if you don't like them or agree with them. I do the same in return. I am not Willy Wonka, I don't sugar coat shit, so if you're sensitive or can't handle someone calling it like they see it, then sorry, but keep looking.
Basically, if you're not an asshole, feel free to shoot me a message! I don't bite and I'm sorry I've had to come across as such a bitch, I'm just not a fan of wasting time unnecessarily! ;)

Billy Ray Cyrus: Patrick Schwarzenegger is a 'good boy'
Billy Ray Cyrus says Patrick Schwarzenegger is a "good boy".
The 'Achy Breaky Heart' hitmaker - whose daughter Miley Cyrus is reportedly going through a rocky patch in her relationship with the 21-year-old actor - has sided with Patrick after he was seen getting close to his ex-girlfriend Taylor Burns during a Spring Break trip in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
When asked about the photographs, he told gossip website TMZ: "He had fun. He's a good boy."
Meanwhile, Miley, 22, is said to be "embarrassed" about the pictures.
A source close to the singer said previously: "Miley is embarrassed about the photos and Patrick is devastated about that because he really cares about her.
"They've been talking and are going through a tough time."
And Patrick has been assuring the 'We Can't Stop' hitmaker that nothing happened with his ex.
The insider told PEOPLE magazine: "He didn't cheat or kiss anyone but she's still not happy about the photos. It's just embarrassing for her, and him. They're trying to work this through."
The couple have been dating in November and were recently seen dining together at Kiwami in Studio City, California earlier this week.
An eyewitness said the pair were holding hands, kissing and laughing throughout their meal.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) A defense contractor accused of overcharging the U.S. government for radar components pleaded guilty Monday to obstruction and will pay $9.5 million in fines, federal authorities said.
Herley Industries, based in Lancaster County, Pa., admitted to two counts of obstructing audits of bids to supply components for Navy and Air Force radar systems. Its former chairman Lee N. Blatt, 80, pleaded guilty to failing to create and maintain tax records; he was sentenced to a year's probation, community service and a $25,000 fine.
The guilty pleas came the day the case was scheduled for trial.
Prosecutors said Herley admitted that in 2001 and 2002, it gave federal auditors false information and withheld data about the cost of making some electronic components used in E-2C Hawkeye aircraft radar. They said the company admitted that the government was overcharged about $2.5 million on about $3.2 million in contracts.
"When the government is misled into overpaying for any of its contracts, ultimately, it is the taxpayers who foot the bill," U.S. Attorney Patrick Meehan said in a news release. "Contracting with the military is not a license to steal."
The company will pay a $3.5 million criminal fine and $6 million to resolve related civil claims, according to the settlement.
Myron Levy, Herley's chairman and chief executive, said settling the case saves the company time and legal fees.
"We believe this settlement to be in our best interests," Levy said in a statement.
Blatt, 80, resigned from the company in June 2006, two days after he and Herley Industries were indicted.
Herley designs and makes microwave equipment for defense, aerospace and medical use. It employs nearly 1,000 workers in seven U.S. states, England and Israel.

That's all true today. But it also describes the 19th century at the dawning of inventions like the telegraph, the light bulb and the X-ray. The devices may seem ho-hum now, but as Linda Simon explains in her new book Dark Light, they were initially met with a mix of awe and anxiety.
The inventions relied on electricity, a mysterious force that was believed in the 19th century to be entwined with our bodies and spirit. Everyday people who read about electricity's ability to cure or kill wondered whether the inventions were a boon or a disaster. Or as Samuel Morse tapped out in 1844 during his first public demonstration of the telegraph: "What hath God wrought?"
Anyone who has ever heard a hyped-up testimonial about the Internet would recognize the claims made in the mid-19th century by champions of the telegraph: It would be a force for democratization; it would render the postal system antiquated; it would "annihilate space and time."
"All through the book, doing the research, I felt like I was reading yesterday's paper," said Simon, an English professor at Skidmore College.
Space and time survived the telegraph, but its unveiling portended a new electric age of the telephone, the phonograph, the electric light, electrotherapies, the X-ray and the electric chair.
While electricity today is regarded as utilitarian, it was believed by many in the 19th century to be an almost supernatural force that animated the body and mind. Simon notes that Walt Whitman was not being metaphorical when he sang "the body electric." Some saw the soul itself as an electrical phenomenon. Little wonder the most famous inventor of the age, Thomas Edison, was dubbed the Wizard of Menlo Park.
On one hand, electricity was hyped by the press and others as a benevolent force. Dark Light details how Dr. George Beard built a reputation by promoting electrotherapy's power to cure exhausted housewives and businessmen. Electrified corsets were advertised with copy reading "Exhilarating!"
But there also were fears that inventors of the time were messing with something that ought to have been left alone.
Even the lightbulb faced resistance. In a world lit by the soft glow of gas, women reportedly worried about glaring electric lights causing freckles. The thought of electrical wires running through the air and into homes seemed frightening to some.
"Initially, electricity was not a silent invisible force," Simon said. "If you turned on a light switch, often there would be sparks. The wires buzzed and crackled. So you had this constant sense there was this threat."
Even X-rays, the "dark light" of the title, were called a menace to personal privacy after an initial wave of public awe. One vendor sold X-ray proof underwear.
Scientists didn't always help their cause. Edison and Nikola Tesla waged a battle over whether electricity should be provided in alternating (Tesla) or direct (Edison) current. Edison famously electrocuted animals to demonstrate the danger of alternating current.
Edison lost the war, but won a battle when New York officials chose alternating current to power the world's first electric chair (though doctors offering electrotherapy were less thrilled with the new execution method).
Simon had delved into the era before for biographies of William James and others and was happy to revisit the tumultuous time for Dark Light. Of particular interest to her was how people with little formal training and a lot of talent, like Edison, could make such a big splash.
Curiously, Simon shows that even those inventors had scant idea where things were headed. Amid doubts about how useful the telephone would be in a world that already had the telegraph, Alexander Graham Bell foresaw limited home use for his invention. He thought it could be used for things like ordering groceries.
Bell did better than another prognosticator who said the new gadget could be used by clergymen to phone in their Sunday sermons.

Ara is truly an amazing photographer that delivers and goes above and beyond what you expect from a professional. We couldn't be happier with his work and love our albums. If you are looking for a true professional that does amazing work and actually delivers what he promises, this is the person you want to hire for all your occasions. THANK YOU ARA!

Wonderful photographer!
Photos are one of the most important parts of your big day and we are so glad we hired Ara and his team. He captured every moment of our wedding and took extra time to get to know us. He is beyond professional and really takes the time to listen to what you want. After the wedding he even called us on 3 separate occasions to make sure the photos were edited the way we wanted for our photobook. Ara goes above and beyond what you expect of him and on top of this, he is extremely talented! All our photos came out exceptionally beautiful. I would highly recommend hiring Ara for any event. Thank you for all your hard work, Ara!!

Great Photographer
From the minute I spoke with Ara over the phone, I got a sense of who he is as a person and I was certain I was making the right decision with trusting him to be part of my graduation party and capturing the special moments. Ara's the best photographer we've ever worked with! Very professional yet so easy to talk to and feel comfortable with.. All our guests were satisfied with him as well and asked how I found him. He was very friendly, amicable and chit chatted with everyone and didn't fail to capture funny and memorable moments on each table. He surely delivered and came up with incredible pictures on a very timely manner as promised. I would recommend Ara for any event as his service is excellent and with reasonable prices! I would have the honor to have Ara reproduce tangible memories for us!

Best Photographer!!!
If you're looking for an amazing photographer I promise you that you will not regret meeting with Ara. Too often we meet photographers who offer the world previous to getting the job, but are unable to deliver what was promised as soon as the big day roles around and they receive their full payment. Ara is not one of those photographers, he went above and beyond all expectations. Ara was there with us every step of the way... It blew our mind that he spent the entire day with us on our pre-wedding photo session. On the wedding day, Ara was not only our photographer, but my support and was there to keep me sane and calm my nerves. He is a nervous bride's dream come true. Ara has not only become our family photographer, but also a lifelong friend. He is an amazing talent and a true artist. Thank you Ara jan... We love you.

Great Photographer
We were referred to Ara by my husbands cousin and I'm so glad that we took her advice and went with Ara for our daughters Christening. We highly recommend Ara Images to everyone. He is such a great individual with an amazing talent. He is extremely easy to work with and it made us feel so comfortable throughout our special day. My 2 year old is a very difficult child she is very attached to me and I was surprised to see her go by Ara and listen and do what he was telling her... My pictures came out fabulous and again I highly recommend Ara Images to everyone you won't be disappointed. Thank you Ara we are very grateful for all your hard work.

Hire This Man!!!
First of all, forget the review. I want to thank Ara for being professional and MORE than bending over backwards to help us and take the best pictures I have ever seen. His engagement book was gorgeous and excellent quality, cant wait for the wedding book! His staff was the best and very caring as well. Ara is in a league of his own. He gave us recommendations when we asked him for them, and they turned out to be just as great as he is. Ara, we couldn't have pulled this off as wonderfully as it went without you. You MADE the wedding. Thank you Ara. Words cant express. You are the best and I am recommending you to everyone!!

Cobblers sign defender Charles
Northampton have signed former Aldershot defender Anthony Charles on a contract to the end of the season.
Last Updated: 13/03/12 5:56pm
Northampton have signed former Aldershot defender Anthony Charles on a contract to the end of the season.
Aidy Boothroyd has been assessing Charles' fitness over the past month and has now decided to hand the experienced defender a deal after impressing during his spell.
"Anthony has been training with us for about a month now," said Boothroyd. "He got injured towards the end of last season but his knees are now strong and he's looked in very good form."
"He's done very well in the reserve games he's played. He can play at centre half or left-back, he's got a few strings to his bow and he was very well thought of at Aldershot."
Charles played over 200 games for the Shots and was part of the team that won the Blue Square Premier title. He was captain of the side in the 2010 season when they surprisingly reached the play-offs and will be hoping to use his experience to help the Cobblers escape from their relegation battle.

|Stuff you should know
- For the first time since
1977, Oregon State returns all five starters on its offensive line. The program
also has all four returning starters in the defensive backfield for the first
time since 2000.
- Sixteen starters return
to the program, but the eight losses represent a combined 137 games started.
Fifty-one lettermen return while 13 were lost. Sixteen starters, nine on offense
and seven on defense, return.
- Oregon State has won
20 consecutive non-conference games at Reser Stadium, with head coach Mike
Riley a perfect 10-0. The last time OSU lost a non-conference home game
was in 1996 against Montana when Jerry Pettibone was the head coach.
- Oregon State expects
to open spring practice with potentially only one individual unable to perform
due to an injury -- junior linebacker Andy Darkins (bicep). Darkins
started six games last season.
- Oregon State has never
played a 13-game regular season schedule. If the Beavers go to a bowl game,
it will be the first football team in school history to have played 14 games
in one season.
- The spring game is scheduled
for Saturday, April 29 in Reser Stadium at 1:30 p.m. The game will be televised
live on OSUBeavers.com.
- All practices are open
to the public and are slated to begin at 3:30 p.m. The full month's
schedule can be viewed
- The team's current two-deeps
can be viewed here.
- Premium member bonus - For an in depth look at each position check out the '06 Inventory Articles.
|Stuff you might not know
- Oregon State's home Pac-10
schedule features teams that went a combined 41-19 in 2005, plus the season
opener against the co-Big Sky Conference champion Eastern Washington Eagles.
- Oregon State has 10 student-athletes
on the roster from the state of Hawaii, the third-highest total from one state
-- trailing California and Oregon. There may be several of the incoming freshmen
from Hawaii who will serve a two-year LDS Mission.
- OSU had 10 members earn
recognition on the Pac-10 Conference's All-Academic teams. Andy Darkins
and Keenan Lewis earned first team mention, Sammie Stroughter
and Adam Koets were second team, and Colt Charles, Kyle DeVan, Ryan
Gunderson, Brandon Powers, Andy Levitre, and Adam Speer were honorable
mention. OSU's class of 10 ranked third in the Pac-10.
- After Marcel Love
and Chaz Scott failed to qualify last year, Riley started an "academic
involvement plan. "Each coach has his 'at-risk' guys and his notebook
on them, and they report to them virtually every day, and then have to have
responses from their teachers every week. So our coaches stay as much on top
of it as they can."
- Premium member bonus - Look for reports and pictures from spring practice all month long on BeaverFootball.com. Have questions right now? Ask on the premium message board.
|Riley's spring goals
- Find a playmaker at
receiver and develop a
rapport between the quarterbacks and receivers -
Riley says - "I think Sammie Stroughter is an excellent football player, and if you remember last spring, I thought he was the star of the spring. He got to play a lot behind Mike and he went in and made a ton of plays all spring long. There's a guy there.
I'm hoping that this was a good learning year for Anthony Wheat-Brown. There were three or four times during the year when Anthony had some kind of injury that didn't necessarily keep him out, but really bogged him down.
I think Ruben Jackson has a ton of potential. In a different world or using hindsight, he was the perfect red-shirt prospect -- arrived late from junior college, got hurt for two weeks in fall camp. But we didn't feel like we had that luxury of talent, because he's one of our very most talented athletes on the whole team.
Anthony Crosby I think is going to enter into the picture at wide receiver. Joe Newton will add a lot, and I think Marcel Love will be back. So that's like regaining two starters. And Marcel was just starting to make plays in the latter part of his year, and had such a great spring. He could have been another go-to guy."
- Strive for balance
between the run and pass -
Riley says - "I think balance is crucial, because you don't want to get ganged up on. I don't want to play like we did a year ago where because you couldn't run very well you had to face every blitz that anybody had. And people would compromise their defense to blitz us, knowing that we probably weren't going to hurt 'em with the run. It was like playing in the Canadian league again. By running, you settle that all down.
But then you don't want to play against eight- and nine-man fronts all the time. You want to make people hurt down the field. So I'd really like to be balanced. I would rather be a really good running team than just only a passing team, because I think you can win like that."
- Work on the mistakes
from last year -
Riley says - "I have very good confidence in the direction we're going. And I have a very good knowledge of what happened to our team -- tangible things that everybody knows, the interceptions and the big plays.
I think we gave up 62 plays over 20 yards. That's a lot of big plays. You're not going to win doing that. And then you combine it with our penalty rash at the end, and then you combine it with being the leading turnover team in the country.
|Positions to watch
- Quarterback - It
is Matt Moore's to lose but Riley is giving everyone a shot in spring
- Defensive tackle
- Ben Siegert, Curtis Coker and William Vea all get to
show their stuff before Gerard Lee shows up in August.
- Defensive end -
Lots of experience, but little production. Dorian Smith is expected to be
a difference maker.
- Safety - Sabby
Piscitelli and Al Afalava have the starting positions locked down,
but it's the backups that everyone is worried about.
- Wide receiver - At least one player needs to step up, will it be Ruben Jackson, Anthony Wheat-Brown, Sammie Stroughter or another player? Only time will tell, but Riley likes the talent base.
|Players to watch
- QB Matt Moore -
can he prove his critics wrong and led the Beavers to postseason play?
- TE Joe Newton
- will he bounce back from a leg injury and make an all-conference team?
- WR Ruben Jackson
and Sammie Stroughter
- is one of them the next play maker at wide receiver?
- DE Dorian Smith
- can he grab more than four sacks this year, equaling last year's total by
the defensive ends?
- LB Joey LaRocque - can he lead a young and inexperienced linebacking group in his first year?

Project DescriptionWINDEREMERE BUSINESS CENTER - 130,000 Square Feet mixed use office retail commercial facility completed in 2009. The project is located at the intersection of Turkey Lake Road and Conroy Windermere Road in Orlando Florida USA. This project abuts a premium residential community which partnered with the developer to enable construction of a building that would have a more residential feel with tiled roof, mediterranean architecture and blend in the context of similar projects and design development guidelines set by the local communities such the Metrowest and the Town of Windermere. The project avoided another glass tower at the site and incorporated some of the energy efficient designs and sustainable architecture practices implementing such solutions such as saving existing mature trees between the adjoining community and the development so as to form a natural green buffer.
The project was budgeted at 18.5 MM for the shell building with finished common area interiors. Archenics - formerly known as Metro Group - A division of Metro Architecture Partnership, provided the full A&E services such as Master Planning, Civil Engineering, Building Design, Systems Engineering, Landscape Design and Project Management Services.

Lady Gaga's fiancé 'just knew' it was time to propose
Taylor Kinney "just knew" it was the right time to propose to Lady Gaga.
The 'Chicago Fire' star, who got engaged to the 29-year-old singer last Valentine's Day on February 14, says he had no doubts about getting down on bended knee.
Discussing the special moment, the 33-year-old actor said: "It was snowing - it was beautiful."
Asked why he decided to ask her to be his wife after four years of dating, he told the Chicago Tribune magazine: "I just knew. It wasn't a light bulb going off."
Taylor is involved in planning their wedding, but hopes to have some extra help when it comes to choosing his own outfit.
He said: "I'll have someone help me out with a tailored suit that fits well and looks nice ... but I'm not out there doing that on my own."
Lady Gaga previously admitted she instantly knew the actor was the man for her.
She said: "I really can't imagine being with anyone other than who I'm with right now. He is the right guy. I have that feeling. I just know it."
A source recently said the couple, who started dating after meeting on the set of the singer's music video for 'You and I' in 2011, want their wedding day to be a traditional "family celebration."
The insider added: "She's just coming up with ideas now. She's asked her sister Natali to be the maid of honour, and her dad can't wait to walk her down the aisle.
"They want it to be a family celebration."

Your answer is one click away!
I found that in the previous version of profiler user guide, formula for the metrics are provided.
For example,
Metric Name: branch_efficiency
Description: Ratio of non-divergent branches to total branches
Formula: 100 * (branch - divergent_branch) / branch
But in the latest version, this "formula" part is replaced by "Scope". Do anyone know where can I find those formulas for latest profiler. Since nvprof add more features and metrics, I am not sure if I can still use the old version formula provided by nvprof v5.0 or previous.
Since 5.5
nvprof can collect and report metric values similarly to events, so that you no longer have to calculate the metrics yourself.
Due to the complexity of some formulas, documentations since 5.5 no longer contain these formulas.
So to answer to question. No you cannot find it for the latest profiler. I think that the old formulas are still in place but there's no need for actually knowing the formulas anymore.

Hurricane Emily struck during the cruise and both of our ports of call were cancelled. The cruise was not rerouted to any alternate ports, and we were not allowed off the ship for the duration of the cruise, so we just circled in rough waters for five days, trapped on the boat. While we were on board, Carnival offered passengers a small non-refundable shipboard credit for the missed ports and a discount on a future cruise.
After the cruise, my mom called Carnival's customer service and asked for a refund of the port charges. They told her that she shouldn't worry about getting the port charges back because "it's not very much money." My mom pointed out to them that the port charges were $119 per person, for a total of $714, and to us that's a lot of money. We were sure about the amount because she had to pay the port charges for the free person when she used API's certificate. We also tried to invoke the Carnival satisfaction guarantee, but they wouldn't let us use it.
We could have booked a cheaper cruise to nowhere if we didn't care about stopping at any ports. We paid about $4000 for six people. What I'd really like is a complete refund and those five days of my life back. At the very least, I'd like a refund of our port charges, since we didn't stop anywhere.
— Jody Fordham
Answer: I can't get those five days back for you, but I can clarify what happened behind the scenes. It all boils down to wording: Travelers and travel agencies use the term "port charges" differently, and Carnival explicitly avoids using those words.
When you see cruise fares advertised, there's inevitably a disclaimer alongside explaining that government taxes and fees cost extra, and that these charges vary by port. Travelers often refer to government taxes and fees as port charges.
On the other hand, travel agents see a charge embedded in cruise fares that's off the radar for most cruisers because it's never broken out separately on customer invoices. In industry lingo, this charge is called "noncommissionables," and as the name suggests, it's the chunk of the cruise fare that agents don't earn a commission on. Non-commissionables are a hodgepodge of costs the cruise lines incur, and may include anything from piloting fees to stevedoring to port labor.
As non-commissionables is an awkward word, many travel agents just say port charges instead, and in years past, that's what everyone called them. However, the cruise industry scrupulously avoids using that term after settling an expensive series of class-action lawsuits that alleged cruise lines padded port charges to inflate their profits.
Your mother paid both government taxes and fees and non-commissionables for the companion fare, as required by her two-for-one certificate. After the aimless cruise, she decided to ask Carnival for a refund of port charges. Since that's not a term Carnival uses, and most cruisers don't discuss non-commissionables, I'm guessing the representative she spoke with interpreted port charges as government taxes and fees, which totaled just $23.15 per person.
But when your mother asked the travel agency about port charges, it understood that as non-commissionables, which were $119 per person. "Our agents are supposed to use the term non-commissionables, and the certificate says non-commissionables," says API's manager of operations Jennifer Rodgers.
Referring to the $119 as port charges reinforced your belief that you should get a refund, since your cruise skipped all ports. But non-commissionables are a component of the cruise fare and aren't refundable, whether you stop at every port or none of them.
"We do not present non-commissionable costs to the consumer under any circumstances," says Carnival representative Jennifer de la Cruz. "All the agency has done is cause confusion for this customer."
When ships skip scheduled stops, cruise lines try to substitute alternate ports. If that's not possible, companies usually give a small onboard credit to cover both the government taxes and fees and the letdown. However, travelers and cruise lines often have very different ideas about what's appropriate.
Carnival's standard missed-port compensation policy is $20 per person, per port, which exceeds the government taxes and fees for any given port, according to De La Cruz. Because the Sensation didn't stop at all, all passengers received a $50 onboard credit plus a 50% discount on a future cruise.
Now, about that satisfaction guarantee. Carnival's policy states that passengers who are unhappy with their cruises can get off at the first port of call, and Carnival will pay to fly them home and refund the unused portion of the cruise. The policy doesn't apply to certain voyages, including Alaska, Europe, Hawaii, Panama Canal trips and cruises to nowhere.
Although your cruise was supposed to stop in Cozumel and Costa Maya, it didn't, so you couldn't get off at the first, or indeed any, port. And that means — you guessed it — the satisfaction guarantee didn't apply.
How can you avoid trouble?
Work with an agent specializing in cruises. A good agent will explain cruise costs, not confuse you with terminology.
Be prepared for itinerary changes. Though you may think skipped ports are worth much more, cruise lines will normally give passengers only nominal compensation for changes.
Remember that all guarantees carry fine print.

The Friday Sports Report – 2017 NFL Draft Prospects
First Edition Quarterback As the most important position on the field starts to see its front runners emerge for the 2017 NFL Draft, it seems only fitting to point out that potential first round pick Patrick Mahomes was a player that was considered a long shot for day one at the beginning of the 2016 collegiate season. I first started suggesting Patrick as an early draft selection back near the start of October. All of the physical traits are there along with a strong competitive drive and a willingness to…Read More

Falkland Oil raises 48.5 mln stg to fund drilling
Falkland Oil and Gas said it will be able to drill its preferred exploration wells in Britain's remote Falkland Islands after raising 48.5 million pounds through a placing.
The company is one of several British firms looking for oil off the South Atlantic islands as part of a closely-watched campaign that is due to ramp up later in January when a rig arrives to explore waters south of the territory.
FOGL said on Friday the proceeds from the issue of new shares will be used to fund the drilling of a deeper first well targeting numerous reservoirs, as well as a second well, allowing it to overcome financial constraints which could have limited it to one well.
Discussions with potential new partners continue, said the company, adding that it undertook the placing as it does not expect to receive a suitable offer to help with financing within the drilling timetable.
The rig is slated to drill two wells for Borders & Southern when it arrives in ten days, FOGL said, forecasting a May start date for its first well.
The Falkland Islands is set to be transformed into an oil producing region after Rockhopper, a third British firm, made a discovery to the north of the islands in 2010.
The prospect of the British-governed province becoming an oil producer, however, is controversial, with Argentina claiming sovereignty to the islands that lie around 300 miles from its coast.
Shares in FOGL, which placed the new shares at 43 pence, closed at 50.5 pence on Thursday, valuing the firm at 104.7 million pounds. ($1 = 0.6528 British pounds)

Experience the magic of Eternity Springs, where broken hearts find healing, in this uplifting novel in Emily March's unforgettable series.
Haunted by painful memories, pediatric surgeon Sage Anderson gives up medicine and moves to Eternity Springs. There she finds a place to call home, but even her newfound success as a gifted artist isn't enough to keep her nightmares at bay. Colt Rafferty is about to change all that.
Eternity Springs is a refuge for Colt, a place to ground himself when the stress of investigating tragedies takes its toll. He has come here for a little R & R, but instead of relaxing, he finds himself fascinated by the mysterious redhead whose secrets beg to be discovered—a beauty running from her past, a heartsick woman in desperate need of the sweet sanctuary of a devoted man's embrace.

Read an Excerpt
March: HUMMINGBIRD LAKE
The echo of the gunshot jerked Sage Anderson out of her nightmare. Her eyes flew open. She lay in the darkness, panting, sweating, her heart pounding in fear, her hands clenched into fists. Oh, God.
The images. The sounds. Oh, dear God.
It was a dream. Just a dream. One of those old, horrible, terrifying nightmares that had haunted her since the events she dreamed about had been her reality.
Slowly the past retreated. Her pulse calmed and her fingers relaxed. At that point, the shivering began, a reaction to both the chill in the room and the aftermath of the dream.
Sage rolled up and reached for the bedclothes she'd kicked off the end of the bed during the dream. This was the first time in months that she'd been plagued by one of these nightmares. She had thought she'd put them behind her.
"I am so totally done with this," she said aloud as she yanked up the sheet, tugged up the comforter, and fished for her discarded socks at the bottom of the bed. When she finally cuddled beneath goose down and Egyptian cotton, she turned her head into the pillow and tried to cry.
She badly wanted to succeed in the effort, to sob and wail and release these vicious emotions churning inside her. As usual, the tears wouldn't come. In the past few years she'd managed to find catharsis in tears only a handful of times.
When her eyes remained stubbornly dry and the possibility of sleep appeared completely beyond reach, she focused her attention on more pleasant thoughts. She thought about weddings. Her best friend's wedding. Well, one of her best friends, anyway.
Yesterday Nic Callahan had returned to town and reconciled with her husband. They planned to reaffirm their wedding vows at St. Stephen's church later this morning prior to the grand opening celebration for Angel's Rest, Celeste Blessing's healing center and spa. Sage was thrilled for Nic and Gabe. She was pleased for Celeste and excited for Eternity Springs. Today promised to be a lovely day.
And I'm not going to let a bad dream ruin it.
With that determined thought uppermost in her mind, she glanced at the bedside clock, where 4:07 glowed in red numerals. Today promised to be a lovely day—and a long one, she realized with an inner sigh. She knew she wouldn't get back to sleep at this point.
Sage sat up and took stock of her options. She could read or watch TV or surf the Net. She could catch up on paperwork or tackle the painting she'd begun yesterday for her upcoming show in Fort Worth. Except she wasn't in the mood for the first three, and she needed to let that painting sit for a few days. Something wasn't working with it, and experience had taught her that walking away for a day or two almost always helped her figure out the fix.
Her thoughts returned to the wedding, and at that point she knew what she wanted to do. She'd grab a new canvas and see if she could create a gift for Gabe and Nic to mark their special day. She'd do something simple, but light and bright and beautiful.
"Perfect." She blew out a breath, rolled out of bed, and headed for the studio she'd set up in the cottage's second bedroom. This was what she needed now—something positive to think about, a task to take her out of the shadows and away from the pain and the past.
In the studio, she placed a blank canvas on her easel and studied it, opening her mind to inspiration. She shied away from one image that hovered in her head, a leftover from her nightmare. Instead, she thought about Nic and Gabe and the obstacles they'd overcome while finding their way to today. She opened her mind to the promise of their bright and happy future, and inspiration flowed. An idea took shape in her imagination. She picked up her paintbrush and went to work. When she stepped away from her easel three hours later, she studied the finished painting and smiled. "Good job, Anderson."
She had managed to shake off the lingering ugliness of her dream and create something she knew her friends would treasure. All before breakfast. "Not a bad start for the day."
She showered and dressed and had just decided to toast a bagel when, to her surprise, someone rapped at her front door. Warily Sage peeked through the window blinds.
Celeste Blessing stood on her front porch, a canvas tote bag in one hand, a relaxed smile upon her face. She had gorgeous silver-gray hair and youthful, sky-blue eyes. This morning she wore a stylish bright red jacket, and gold earrings shaped like angel's wings dangled from her ears.
Sage relaxed. When she grew up, she wanted to be just like Celeste. The woman was the kindest, friendliest, smartest, and most active senior Sage had ever met. She rode a Honda Gold Wing motorcycle for fun, watched DVDs of The Mary Tyler Moore Show for entertainment, and never missed a Sunday at church or failed to give her opinion about the preacher's sermon. It had been her idea to turn the Cavanaugh House estate into Angel's Rest Healing Center and Spa, and construction alone had already proved a boon to the economically depressed town even before today's official opening.
The townspeople loved Celeste for doing her part in rescuing Eternity Springs. Sage loved Celeste for herself. In many ways, she was the mother and the grandmother Sage had never had.
She opened her door with a smile. "Celeste. What brings you out this way?"
"The Landrys offered their vacation home as an overflow facility for the center, and since we're packed to the rafters with the grand opening, we'll need to use it tonight."
The Landrys were a lovely family from Texas who owned the only other house on Reflection Point, the narrow little peninsula where Sage lived. "I wanted to stop and drop off a little welcome basket," the older woman continued. "When I saw your light, I decided to come beg a cup of coffee."
"I'm glad you did. I was about to toast a bagel. Care to join me?"
"Actually . . ." Celeste held up the tote bag. "I happen to have breakfast fixings with me. Care if I make myself at home in your kitchen?"
Sage blinked. "That's fine with me, but, with the grand opening, aren't you swamped?"
"Everything's under control, and frankly, with all the hustle and bustle, I'm glad to have a few moments of peace and quiet out here at Hummingbird Lake. I have bacon, eggs, a loaf of bread for toast, and a jar of homemade strawberry jam."
"That sounds much better than a bagel." Sage eyed the bag appreciatively. "Tell you what. My stovetop is persnickety when it comes to heat regulation. You have to talk to it just right. Why don't you let me man the frying pan while you handle the toaster?"
Celeste's blue eyes twinkled. "An excellent plan."
Sage took the tote bag and led Celeste through the cozy little cottage to the kitchen, where the women went to work. Their conversation centered around the two main events of the day, but when they sat down to eat, Celeste sipped her coffee and introduced a new subject. "How are you feeling, Sage? You look a bit tired."
She attempted a dodge. "I got up early and painted a gift for Nic and Gabe."
"That's nice," Celeste said. "Although I'm sure they wouldn't have wanted you to miss sleep because of it. This wedding is a last-minute thing, after all."
"Actually, a nightmare woke me up. I couldn't get back to sleep." Sage set down her knife, surprised at herself for admitting the truth. She never talked about the nightmares.
"Oh, you poor thing." Celeste clucked her tongue. "I'm so sorry. Does that happen often?"
"No, not really." Sage took a bite of jam-slathered toast and realized that something about Celeste invited confidences. She was simply so easy to talk to. After savoring the flavor of springtime in the jam, she swallowed, sipped her juice, then added, "Since I moved to Eternity Springs, I sleep pretty well. I think the mountain air is magic." "Eternity Springs is special," Celeste agreed. "I've said it before and I'll say it again. This valley nurses a special energy that soothes troubled souls—if those souls open their hearts and minds to the possibilities."
Sage couldn't argue against it. Heaven knows the town had been working its magic on her these past few years. She'd been a basket case, running away from life as she knew it, when she literally arrived at a crossroads on a Colorado mountain road and turned left, ending up in Eternity Springs.
She couldn't explain it to anyone—she couldn't explain it to herself—but she'd known in her bones that the left turn had been the rightest turn of her life. Call it instinct or intuition or a message from her very own angel, but Sage had understood that she was meant to live and work in Eternity Springs, at least for a little while.
So she'd moved here and made friends here. She'd made a life and a career here. Except for the occasional nightmares and flashbacks, she was happy here.
"Eternity Springs has been good for me. I predict your healing center will be a wild success, Celeste."
"I completely agree. Those who open themselves up to all that life has to offer here will find great rewards. You remember that, Sage. Now, let me help you with the dishes. Breakfast was simply divine."
"It did hit the spot. Thank you for providing both the idea and the supplies."
"You're very welcome. I'm a big believer in having protein for breakfast, especially since you and I have a packed day ahead of us."
Sage didn't argue with her, but she didn't anticipate her own day being all that busy. Other than showing up at St. Stephen's thirty minutes early to help Nic dress, the only tasks on her docket were to witness the wedding and stroll Celeste's estate as a guest at the grand opening. She didn't intend to open Vistas, her art gallery, at all today.
After Celeste left, Sage wrapped her gift for Nic and Gabe in plain brown paper and fished a red marker from her junk drawer in order to draw hearts as decoration. When the memory of a homemade valentine that had giraffes sporting heart-shaped spots drifted through her mind, she sucked in a breath.
"Stupid dream," she muttered, then gritted her teeth as the pain washed over her. Following a dream, invariably the memories stayed around like a hangover. Not all memories were bad, but the good ones seemed to be buried beneath the mountain of ugliness she'd brought home from Africa.
Sage set down the marker and walked to her kitchen window, where she gazed out across Hummingbird Lake toward Eternity Springs. Taking in that view went further to rid herself of that hangover than ingesting any painkiller ever could.
"Forget the nightmare," she murmured. "The sadness ends now."
Well, at least for today. Today was going to be a wonderful day. This was Nic's real wedding day and the culmination of Celeste's "Angel Plan" for the economic survival of Eternity Springs. It was a day for celebration—not one for nightmares and heartbreaking memories—and it was time she headed for the church.
As she retrieved her car keys from her bedside table, she stared longingly at her pillow and added aloud, "A day for celebration, and maybe a nap."

Love, Love, Love Emily March's 'Eternity Springs' Series and Book #2 ('Hummingbird Lake') did not disappoint me. I've since read Book #3 and #4, and am ready for Book #5. These characters, the detail, and the whole theme of "Eternity Springs" is a breath of fresh air, and I'm totally enjoying the easy and delightful reads!
You must keep read all three of these books as they are entwined together to keep you interested from page one. I am now reading the third Series and the only fault I had with these books are they are very short reads and the cost is a bit high for a less than 300 page book.
I enjoyed this book very much..
Love "Eternity Springs"! Very refreshing read. My kinda book!!!
I really enjoy reading the Eternity Springs Series by Emily March and especially liked this story.
((On computer... testing XD) Lapis looked at her, concerned, but didn't say anything.
The only thing I didn't like was the frustration of getting to the inevitable. We heard "no" from Page too many times when we knew in the end it was going to be "yes" as it always is in this series. I'd like to get to "yes" a little faster and see how they begin their new lives together. And the "Jesus loves me" was overdone.
I am half way through Hummingbird Lake and am enjoying it as much as i did the first Eternity Springs novel. An enjoyable read
((Go to 'On Hummingbirds Wings: A Novel'))
Sakina kissed Glacier's neck. Serena smiled. The younger boy looked up. "I'm Freddie." The older one raised an eyebrow at the stranger holding his sister. "I'm wondering why you're touching my sister."
Read The entire series. Light, fun and addictive
I loved this book, the people the setting, the Story line, Romance, Problems. an excellent book.
A wonderful series from the first book on up the latest!! The story is interesting and the characters are wonderfully written!
I love this series and simply cannot wait for the newest release due on 8/28!
I love this entire series! Wonderfully written!

I'm getting married this summer and the day is fast approaching, which means I need to stop being the indecisive bride I've been and start committing to some decisions. One of those decisions that I need to make: My wedding day nail colour.
If you know me at all, you know I live my life in colour; everything from my desk accessories to yoga clothes (which I have an addiction to buying) is bright beyond control—almost obnoxiously so—and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's funny, then, when you're approaching the "big day" (which is terrifyingly less than three months from now) that the status quo for "wedding colours," particularly when pertaining to the bride, are pastel, demure and 50 shades of boring.
Don't get me wrong—I love an off-white, light-pink mani, especially in the summer when my skin does that amazing glowy tan thing. But, if your wedding day is supposed to be all about you, then why on earth would I choose something so unequivocally not me?
So, for my wedding day, I'm daring to go bold, because that's me. Here are some of the shades in the running for the big day.
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Happy Daze: Well, the name says it all. Your wedding is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life (though, frankly, I'm more excited about my honeymoon in Bali—because, well, Bali). This muted almost-fuchsia shade will go perfectly with my wedding flowers and is bright enough to appease my colourful tastes without offending the conservative crowd.
Ceramic Glaze Nail Lacquer in Perfect Peony: By far the brightest of the bunch, if nothing else, this will be a staple summer shade for me and may even be a contender for the wedding pedicure (gotta go bright from head to toe).
Essie Nail Polish in Going Guru: Okay, so technically this is a pastel. I get that. But after painting on the requisite two coats, this colour made a much bolder statement than I expected. This minty-lime may just be the winning shade of the bunch—and not just because the travel-inspired collection goes perfectly with my post-nuptial vacation destination.
Decisions, decisions. At least the cake was an easy sell.

Internazionale have turned to Spain in their attempt to find new players.Internazionale have turned to Spain in their attempt to build a squad capable of competing for domestic honours.
Inter are unbeaten in Serie A thus far this season, but a series of draws have left them well off the pace set by league-leaders Juventus.
Coach Roberto Mancini has urged his board to bring in reinforcements, and it appears that the club has responded by sending scouts to watch several Spanish-based players - with Portugal star Jorge Andrade top of their list.
Andrade has been watched several times by Lazio whilst playing for Deportivo, and early indications are that the defender has impressed.
The Roman club are also believed to be looking at Sevilla's young defender Sergio Ramos and Brazilian star Julio Baptista.
