River Roots create a vibrant mixture of roots and alternative acoustic, with hints of folk and reggae beats, bringing diverse sounds and an uplifting vibe. Conscious, mind opening music delivered from the heart. Bringing surprisingly danceable sounds from just an acoustic guitar. Lyrically each song has a spiritual meaning or a positive message to enlighten people through their daily lives.
Matt Montez originally from Leeds UK, started his music career whilst travelling Australia. Inspired by the beautiful surroundings and good vibes, his flow of creative writing was ignited. The music is majorly influenced by a nomadic lifestyle and connectedness with nature.
In 2015, the music naturally became a co-creation as vocalist Gem blended into the mix, evolving the music into River Roots. Fusion of their soulful harmonies and positive energy illuminates the stage, as they share their musical journey together. And so River Roots was born.

Press Quotes
BBCIntroducing – David White
"What voices River Roots have! 'Destruction's simple and frankly stunning. Nice job"
Quest Festival
"We've had River Roots play twice now at our festival and they have been nothing short of wonderful. Inspired lyrics with a really joyful vibe – they get the crowd going and are often named as a favourite act from our punters."
Jump Ship Promotions – Niamh Mcgowan
"If ever there was an ep that was the perfect soundtrack to relaxing on a beach somewhere, this is it. With a soulful voice and a simple guitar sound 'sight from inside', the latest ep from Singer/songwriter Matt Montez, is the smoothest and lightest sound from an acoustic artist I have heard for a while."
The 'En Route' EP (2013) speaks of the realisation of a new direction. Living within nature, absorbing the tranquil surroundings, observing the beauty to ignite inspiration for music.
The 'Sight From Inside' EP (2014) explores the feelings of travelling, with a funkier, upbeat and bluesy side. 'Don't Need Sleep' is the stand out piece which is a percussive/slap guitar style with a real bluesy feel to it.

Are you experiencing wrist pain? Are you feeling numbness into your fingers and hand? Is it hard to turn door handles or grip your cup in the morning? Is it painful to carry grocery bags or type on your phone?
There are a variety of sources of wrist pain. Some of the common causes that we see are:
1. Carpal Tunnel syndrome: There is a small tunnel in the wrist which must allow many tendons and one nerve to pass through. With overuse of the muscles in the hand, sometimes these tendons can swell and cause compression of the nerve as it passes through. This can cause numbness into the middle finger the index finger and the thumb.
2. Tendonitis: This is typically caused by overuse of the muscles leading into the hands.
3. Arthritis: There are different types of arthritis that can all affect the wrist joint.
4. Subluxed bone in the wrist: This can happen if you have fallen on an outstretched hand, punched something or forcefully gripped a steering wheel during a motor vehicle accident. This can often be easily corrected with therapist mobilization.
5. Fracture: These are typically caused with trauma although could happen more easily if you suffer from thinning of the bones, ( osteopenia or osteoporosis).
6. Other causes of wrist pain that are more rare:
Our therapists are fully trained to assess the cause of your wrist pain and develop an individualized treatment plan that quickly addresses the source of your pain!

Mouse double backward / forward
Disclaimer: I've searched through the community forums, and haven't found anything helpful. The only topic that is similar is this one: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/11785/mouse-backwards-twice and it has a fix of driver reinstall. However it didn't help me in my case, I've tried that.
The issue: when I am browsing using Vivaldi, when I press mouse forward/backward buttons, it jumps two history records in either direction, instead of one. None of the other browsers and programs in general show this behavior - it was the first time I encounter something like that.
Technical details:
OS: Win10x64 Pro, 15063.413
Mouse: A4Tech F7
Any help would be really appreciated, I like Vivaldi a lot, it has a lot of useful features (oh my god normal link text selection), but this double-backward/forward jump is like an annoying little chip in otherwise polished experience :)
@cxshel Could be a dirty or loose switch or contact in your mouse, and Vivaldi having a zero delay on detection of clicks, while other browsers have a delay (like 5 ms) perhaps.
Oh, an interesting idea. Is there any way I could change it to test this theory? The mouse is indeed in somewhat rough shape (but serves me good so far)
@cxshel Under a similar situation, the way I tested it was to try another mouse.

@cxshel I've just fixed this. I have a cheap a4tech mouse that comes with software that lets you reassign buttons. So as it turns out, Vivaldi uses mouse's "back" to "rewind" instead of just going back. So what I did is I reassigned my mouse's "back" and "forward" keys to "alt+left" and "alt+right" respectively, which fixed the issue.

Happens to me too. My mouse is fine.
Reassigning the buttons would create a really ridiculous problem since then you could no longer use the backward and forward commands in any other program, which I'm sure most of us need....

I don't think this is quite the culprit. They're not the first ones it seems with this issue. My mouse is tightly connected & in great condition, as well as clean. It registers my back and forward as double every single time. :( In fact, it has ever since I first installed it. I wish there was a way to assign mouse buttons to actions, like you can do for keyboard shortcuts. I love this feature in things like video players. It would be ridiculously helpful in this context as well.
Interesting! Thanks a lot guys for replies. I would also be glad to see mouse setup options menu!

Any updates on this issue? It is single-handedly preventing me from using Vivaldi. If it's of any help, hitting the back button as configured on my elan touchpad (three finger press) registers as nothing on http://unixpapa.com/js/testmouse.html but triggers multiple go back actions. This behavior is unlike Google Chrome or indeed any other program I've used. Windows 10 64bit, Vivaldi 32bit.

A week after benefitting from the institutional incompetence of the Detroit Lions1 the Atlanta Falcons found themselves on the other side of a victory-swinging cock-up against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. When Bills defensive lineman Jerry Hughes tackled Matt Ryan from behind in the third quarter, the ball was jarred loose and returned by Bills corner Tre'Davious White for a touchdown. The Bills would ultimately prevail over the Falcons by six points so this touchdown was absolutely the difference in this game. The problem, of course, is that replays clearly show that Matty Ice has incredible finger strength: the ball may have shifted in his hand but he never lost control until his arm was moving forward. That means that this was an incomplete pass and that the Falcons absolutely got screwed. But this – the most recent example of the never-ending fumble vs. incomplete pass shitshow – is boring NFL incompetence. We can do better.
Well, Marquette King can do better.
Marquette King calls a fake punt from his own 30. Then gets a penalty for throwing the ball at a Denver player. @PatMcAfeeShow pic.twitter.com/9uNXwtCwPz

Nothing beats waking up to the smell of bacon in the morning. This country breakfast skillet not only has thick-cut bacon, but also tender potatoes and flavorful peppers. Not to mention, the four sunny side up eggs because no breakfast is complete without eggs.
Tip: Make my country homestyle cornbread with the leftover bacon grease!

Some one came to the blog via a search for 'bread websites'? WTF?
Anyway I've learnt a very important lesson DO NOT drop the black glass ESR vacutainers. Ever.
You would think that I have opened a vein the amount of blood on the floor. In reality the tubes only hold 5.2ml so it's really not that much. I'm totally persona non grata... again.

I recently discovered something amazing about my iPad…I can draw on it!
Okay, so I knew that already, but when I was invited to a Google+ Community (this one right here) I was interested and intrigued about it. I thought it could be fun to join the digital world of drawing. At this point, I have drawn on paper for most of my life, and as most of you have experienced, I started painting a while ago. I did some digital coloring and drawing in the past, but never photos or digital paintings.
First step was to find the right application. Of course, most of them aren't free. Boo. But I did try out SketchBook for the iPad. It was a free version with only three layers (which threw me off completely considering I was expecting to have a whole bunch when I began my first drawing).
With this app, I tackled the first weekly challenge:
With the holidays coming we should try illustrating a piece of a Christmas song… My first thought is: "Tiny Tots with their Eyes all Aglow". To be drawn on a tablet, let us know what tablet, what app, and if you have a fancy stylus, what you used to create it.
And here was my answer to it.
Then, the next weekly challenge was:
This week is: Draw a fantasy landscape. Interpret this how you will.
I found another app at this point that I loved! from the moment I touched it (yes, I will share all the goodies in its own post), but it is called Paper. So I did a test run with the app for the weekly challenge:
A week later, I was trying to convince my lovey that $6.99 was okay for this awesome app (we are crazy frugal right now), and he secretly bought it for me. (Thanks babe.) In the end, it was $8.98 for the app and an extra option.
Then, my answer to the weekly challenge was TRULY answered…AND it was my first finger painting:
Now, from this point, it was Christmas and New Years, so the weekly challenge didn't come, but that didn't stop me from wanting to draw/paint digitally. I sat down last Friday evening, and decided I wanted to draw something…anything. Looking over to my right I saw a small painting on the front of a tinder box…and so began my first painting of fruit.
I started with a finger sketch and added the base color finger-style and then pulled out my handy-dandy blue stylus. I drew and painted for a few hours and then off to bed I went. I enjoyed using the next day as my push to finish it, color and all.
Here is my very first fruit digital drawing, and I am very happy with it…
We have another challenge being talked about now. Hopefully I will start the next soon. I really enjoy this form of painting. It's easier and more convenience. Just bring out an iPad and your finger, and get to moving. I love it. I am excited to learn more and practice using this application, Paper, more often.
Until then, leave me a comment and let me know which is your favorite. Any requests? I'd be happy to do something special.
Enjoy. And Paint.

especially the totes. I always convince myself that I need two new bras, or a ridiculous amount of underwear.
So of course I had to have this year's Black Friday tote. (Don't worry, I never left the house…that's the beauty of online shopping.)
It's a great bag…black nylon and a little more sophisticated than the pink sequined one from last year. (Although I love that too.)
It's also coming in handy, since I've had lots of short trips lately. So let me tell you about some of my other travel companions…
If you've been following happy, healthy and hot for more than a few days, you already know I'm crazy for collagen peptides. They've improved my skin from the inside out. They are also amazing for your nails and hair.
These new stick packs of collagen peptides from Vital Proteins are perfect for travel. Just throw a few in your overnight bag and stir into your morning coffee or tea.
I'm also loving the new flavors of bars from Primal Kitchen Foods, for travel and to keep in my purse in case I am suddenly starving. Not only do they taste great, they have 15 grams of protein (from collagen!) and only 3 grams of sugar.
I've already told you about the Dark Chocolate Almond bars and the Coconut Cashew, in these two posts:
The new flavors are Chocolate Hazelnut and Sea Salt Macadamia. All four flavors are amazing. If I had to pick a fave, it would be the Sea Salt Macadamia. I have always loved combos of salty and sweet, and macadamias are my favorite nuts.
I do want to caution you…the bars can be a little sticky. Watch that you don't get the chocolate ones stuck on your teeth. Never a good look.
As far as my toiletries go, I was so happy when I saw that 100% Pure offers most of their shampoos and conditioners in travel sizes. I am crazy for the Honey and Virgin Coconut, which smells amazing and makes my hair so soft.
I love to pack products that multitask, so I always throw my Alpine Pure Oil from Telluride Glow in my bag. The regular size bottle is two ounces, so you can even take it in your carry-on if you're flying. And you can do anything with this product…it's a great facial moisturizer, but you can use it to oil cleanse, take care of your cuticles, and I love to rub a tiny bit into the ends of my hair to get rid of fly aways and make it shine.
Oh, and save those cute little jelly jars from the hotel breakfast…they are awesome for packing up tiny amounts of things like coconut oil. Just make sure you screw the lids on tightly. And maybe don't do the coconut oil thing in the summer when it's all runny. Speaking from experience here.
While I'm traveling I love to catch up on some reading. I've been paging through the new Eat Fat, Get Thin Cookbook by Mark Hyman MD, and can't wait to try some of the recipes! The way Dr. Hyman suggests eating is pretty much the way I eat on a day to day basis…it totally works.
So there you have it…some of my favorite travel products!
Can you stay happy, healthy and hot with a crazy travel schedule? Absolutely!
You'll be happy enjoying some of the comforts of home while you are on the road. Everything I have mentioned helps you stay healthy. And with your soft, fragrant hair from the shampoo and conditioner, and firm and glowing skin from all the collagen and the Alpine Pure Oil, you'll certainly be hot!
Thanks for reading…I'd love to hear some of your travel tips!

Product Description
You may possibly offer you a silicone wristbands to your customers. Get your business's brand colour(s), name and link on the band if you select. Little ones will enjoy this idea as effectively as teens. Mothers and fathers might put on the bands as nicely. Have you ever noticed when you put on 1 of these bands people inquire you what it says? This is a fantastic way to get your identify out to the public. You can choose to promote the bands or give a free of charge band with every single purchase. The far more your name is out there, the more men and women will know about you and the much more revenue you will make.
Don't use fundamental easy types for concert designs since it will not be patronized by the goers & it will just be ignored. Go for some edgy or narrow band patterns, and it will possibly impress the fans. Also, do not opt to go for a matte-completed design and style for it will appear pale to the eye. Rather, select a glittering layout so that the wristband will be highlighted when it came in make contact with with some lights throughout the occasion.
Q: Talk about Chris Owusu and enjoying with him. He is place on a pedestal for your broad receiver ranks. Tell me about his game and what it is like playing with him?
It was a time in which the wristbands fall of or fade, but these days the wristbands are produced of silicone and do not fall off or fade very easily. Silicones are polymers that are made of diverse chemical aspects and they are generally heat resistant and rubber like. It has great thermal stability and minimal chemical reactivity so it does not tend to fall off or fade easily.

I'm lucky to live near one of the beast beaches around in NSW, but then again, I'm biased!
Redhead Beach takes its name from the bluff which is bright red when the sun shines on it. Close to it is a shark tower which was built around 1929 from timber from an old coal mine. It's believed to be the last remaining shark tower of its kind in Australia before the introduction of shark nets.
The beach extends to nine miles of coastline and the Redhead Bluff is at its northern end with the Redhead Surf Life Saving Club housed there. It is a patrolled beach at this point during the warmer months.

Let's talk ad-blocking.
With the arrival of iOS 9, ad-blocking is coming to mobile in a big way, and it's causing a lot of talk all over the web. It is highlighting the internal struggle some feel about the practice, but also the hypocrisy of some of its staunchest proponents. So far, it seems like the real 'bloodbath' isn't taking place where people thought it would be - namely, publishers - but among personalities.
To read all comments associated with this story, please click here.
I've been using ad-blockers on my computers since the dawn of the pop-up ad over a decade ago. Frankly, the web is so saturated with ads that I don't even really "see" them any more; my brain doesn't even register their content. On my phone, I simply close them without even thinking about it. I don't think I'm alone in this regard. I have to wonder how many people actually click on ads. Ad-blocking is a personal choice and on Firefox I find that Ad-block Plus is a must-have extension and it does a fantastic job. what I find comical is that now that Apple has introduced ad-blocking, they act as if they invented it.

Why is garlic soup so satisfying? It's one of the simplest soups to make, and yet it comes out soothing and utterly calming. Some people have chicken soup; I prefer this stuff. Which isn't to say all are created equal.
I adore this version from Daisy Martinez, which I wrote about over three years ago, and saw no need to try out something different. But a few things really intrigued me about this recipe from Mario Batali's Spain: A Culinary Road Trip.
First was the use of bread. Often in a garlic soup, the bread is only introduced to the soup after it's finished cooking. But here the bread is sautéed in the beginning, then added to the soup with the stock. It breaks down over the course of the cooking process to create a silky, luscious body. Second is the hot pimentón. This Spanish smoked paprika adds a depth and robustness to the soup, which is totally at odds with how much time is actually spent on it.
The final flourish is a poached egg, which almost makes the soup too rich. Not bad for a bunch of pantry items.

Get ready for a twist, "Call of Duty" fans.
Even though the new "Call of Duty: World At War" is succeeding with consumers and critics by sticking to the successful adrenaline-fueled formula of its franchise predecessor, new downloadable content coming to the game in 2009 will represent a break from 2007's "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare."
How much of a break from the "Modern Warfare" DLC will it be?
In a phone interview with MTV Multiplayer just before Thanksgiving, "World at War" executive producer Daniel Suarez confirmed that the game's development team is working on downloadable content that will exceed the single multi-player map-pack offered for "Modern Warfare" earlier this year. "We want to do at least -- the hope is -- potentially two, maybe three packs out before we're all said and done."
Suarez said announcements of the downloadable content would be coming at the beginning of the New Year. While he declined to provide a release schedule, he offered this surprise: "It's not going to be what we've done traditionally. I'll leave it a little bit mysterious."
What was "traditional" for "Call of Duty" would have to be what was done for "Modern Warfare." That consisted of four multiplayer maps released five months after the base game launched. What could the new approach be? Downloadable content for the single-player campaign instead of just multiplayer map packs? New armament? New music? A map editor? "Call of Duty" fans should start guessing.
But here's one option fans shouldn't consider: the content won't involve a cross-over with "Modern Warfare." I asked if the development team on "World at War" was exploring an option to bring the weapons and maps of these two most recent "Call of Duty" games into one meshed, generation-spanning experience. Suarez said nothing like that is in the works.

Often, however, getting to market faster, before all the bugs are worked out, is the only way to survive. Many companies have gone under after producing excellent merchandise late because of costs incurred and time to penetrate the market.
If someone beats you to market with something desperately needed, but does so by offering a mediocre finish rather than doing it "right" that someone gets instant market penetration. If you come along later with a clearly superior offering, you could easily steal the market out from under your competitor. For that to happen, though, people need to recognize the quality of what you're selling.
It takes some time for people to evaluate the new entry into a market that is already "owned", even if only tenuously. Running late on production usually means running over budget as well. Once you get your product to market, you have to be able to survive long enough for people to buy what you're selling. That's when many vendors and producers of the late, superior product falter. So much for your superior product.

Kate Hudson and her rocker fiance Matt Bellamy have silenced rumors of a split by stepping out together in Los Angeles.
The Almost Famous actress' relationship with the Muse star has been under scrutiny in recent weeks and Hudson fueled speculation about the state of the romance by attending the Oscars earlier this month (Mar14) without her fiance or her engagement ring.
However, the stars have appeared to put the gossip behind them after they were spotted out and about together in Los Angeles on Friday (21Mar14).
The couple was photographed smiling during a walk through the city and a source tells E! News, "They are OK. They go through their ups and downs like every other couple... But they are working on strengthening their relationship."
Hudson and Bellamy have been engaged since 2011 and they are parents to a two-year-old son named Bingham.

The Five Types Of Compliments It's Acceptable To Give
Generally speaking, betches give don't give compliments, we get them. However, in the rare instances we do intentionally say something nice, it's usually because we want something or are trying to seem like "real people." Here are the 5 types of compliments betches give:
The trying-to-seem-down-to-earth compliment
Before you can respond that it was your mom's in the 80s, know this is a fake compliment and that we're only saying it to seem more down to earth/ relatable. Vintage. So adorable!
Example: OMG. I love your skirt. Where'd you get it?
The pretending-to-be-humble compliment
This is when a betch semi-insults herself in the process of giving a compliment. This is, again, an attempt to seem down to earth and relatable. We need all the help we can get in that department.
Example: I could NEVER pull off that dress like you do. So cute!
The surprised compliment
This is usually said to a bestie or another member of a betch's inner circle. Believe it or not, this is actually the most sincere compliment you will get from a betch (mostly because we were caught off guard and didn't know what the F we were saying) . If said to a roommate or sister, this is also code for "I'm going to steal that out of your closet when you're not looking".
Example: Wait…is that new? It's actually kind of cute.
Compliments to get something
This can easily be followed up by a request to "borrow" some money or to smooth the road for whatever you need to confess to her. Yea, so about your car…
Example: Mom, you've been looking soooo good lately. Those Pilates classes are definitely paying off.
The compliment-insult
This is just an all around passive aggressive bitch move, equivalent to telling someone they look good in black because it's "slimming". However, we've all been guilty of this at some point, usually during one of our bitchy moods that we casually blame on PMS.
Example: "Your make up looks really cool. You don't even notice your skin problems" – Ja'mie King

"When asked the question: What is Jazz? He replied "Man, if you gotta ask you'll never know."
- Louis (Satchmo) Armstrong
Welcome to January's "Mysteries of the Mind" monthly newsletter
Today is a day set aside to remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and next month, February, is African American History month.
This leads me to remember one of my heroes in the field of magic. He was the son of an African American slave and her master. Yet, acting as his own agent, he rose to be remembered as the first American born conjurer, ventriloquist and escape artist and became a success in his home country of America. He even made upwards of $3,000 for an engagement in the early 1800s.
His name is easy to remember today because of the success of the recent J.K. Rowling's series. His name was Richard Potter, and there is a village named after him in New Hampshire called Potter Place, where he once lived and is now buried next to his wife.
He was born in 1783 and fathered by a British tax collector. Potter performed amazing acts of magic including:
- Frying eggs in a hat
- Hindu rope trick (Believed to be the first to perform it in the US)
- Breaking borrowed watches and restoring them
- Handling and swallowing molten lead
- Standing in an oven with raw meat & remaining until the meat was cooked
- Dancing on eggs without breaking them
- Card on ceiling and card in egg
- Decapitating a bird and bringing it back to life
- Pulling a rabbit from hat
- Cups and balls
- And many other wonderful conjuring feats
"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed."
- Booker T. Washington, American Orator, Educator and Leader
Potter inspires me, not only because he became the most successful American magician of his time but also because of the humble beginnings from which he came. Yet, he was able to travel two continents and achieve so much in just 52 years of life.
More can be read about the history of great African American magicians in the book, Magical Heroes: The Lives and Legends of Great African American Magician by Jim Magus or enjoy fascinating stories about other early American performers including Potter in Charles J. Pecor's book, The Magician on the American Stage, 1752-1874.
Next month let's remember and honor our African American friends and heroes, while this week, let us remember Dr. King's message and honor ourselves, our own heritage, and the beauty of all people.
I am so very proud to be your friend and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Your friend,
-Paul Draper
Mental Mysteries
Mental Mystery (agent friendly site)
"When I read great literature, great drama, speeches, or sermons, I feel that the human mind has not achieved anything greater than the ability to share feelings and thoughts through language."
- James Earl Jones, American Actor
"Illusion is the first of all pleasures."
- Voltaire
First you see it, and then suddenly it's gone.
A new illusion shows how our perception of objects changes as soon as they start moving.
Our minds can only handle so much change. Magicians have known this for years; the large action hides the small action.
I was recently interviewed for the January "Is the New Vegas Good for Guys" in the popular online men's magazine AskMen.com.
Draper, who was also the house magician at the Venetian before taking his act world-wide, told me that Vegas is about starring in your own movie. The question, he says, is simply, "How are you going to cast yourself and what kind of movie will it be?"
Also interviewed for this article are George Maloof, Jr., owner of the Palms Casino Resort and Robin Leach, host of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

Are you looking for a company that can assist you with mobile CPA marketing campaigns? If you're interested in mobile marketing, you're not going to want to hire just any marketing company. You'll want to seek out a company that has plenty of experience working on mobile marketing campaigns.
Find A Company That Specializes In Mobile Marketing
The best companies to work with make mobile marketing their primary focus. They know all the ins and outs of the mobile marketing world. These companies will know exactly how to make your marketing campaign a big success.
The standard rules of marketing don't necessarily apply to the mobile world. If you want to hire a marketing company that can genuinely get results for you, then you need to work with a team that knows all about mobile marketing. If these kinds of campaigns are their specialty, they should know exactly what to do.
Find A Company That Charges Affordable Rates
Professional marketing services don't necessarily have to be expensive. There are actually a lot of companies out there that keep their rates low. If you find a company that charges lower rates, you'll be able to get what you want without paying money you don't have.
If your marketing budget is limited, you want to use every penny that you have in the best possible way. Compare rates and find a company that will be able to give you a lot of value for your money. Stretch your budget as far as you possibly can.
Look For A Company That Has A Proven Track Record
If you want to find a company that can do great work for you, then you should seek out a company that has an excellent track record. Look at the kind of work they have done in the past. Have they already spearheaded a number of successful campaigns? Their work should speak for them.
If a company has only had middling success so far, you might want to keep on searching. You deserve to work with a great marketing company. Keep on searching until you find a company that can give you everything that you want.
Find A Company With A Vision
When you talk to a company about your marketing campaign, they should come to you with ideas. Try to find a company that has a real vision. If the company knows exactly what they are doing, your marketing campaign should be successful right from the start.
There are some companies that try to apply the same approach to all of their clients. Try to avoid this. Search for a company that has great plans for you. Make sure you're getting a lot for the money that you spend.
Choosing a mobile CPA marketing company may take some time. You'll probably want to look at a few different options before you decide on a company. Consider all of your options and compare your choices against each other. Make the kind of choice you can feel good about.

Thirty-two minutes. That's how long it took rescuers searching door to door in a large apartment complex to find Nicole Franco, a young woman who called 911 about a burglary in progress at her apartment.
By the time rescuers found her, the 19-year-old student was dead.
Franco gave the address at Bridgewater Place apartments to a 911 dispatcher but didn't — or couldn't — provide her unit number, authorities said.
During the middle of the night search, a deputy discovered an apartment with an open sliding glass door. Inside was Franco's lifeless body.
When deputies responding to the call for help sought a suspect's description from the dispatcher, she could only say the caller had never hung up. The line had been "left open."
Franco dialed 911 from 2800 NW 44th St. at 3:29 a.m. Tuesday.
"Deputies were dispatched immediately," said Broward sheriff's spokeswoman Dani Moschella. "At 3:36 a.m., deputies were in the apartment complex. They set up a perimeter, had the helicopter up and a K-9."
While deputies looked for evidence and called out "Broward Sheriff's Office" in the hope that residents in the complex's towers could guide them, the agency's communications staff was trying to figure out who owned the cellphone that was dialed for help, Moschella said.
At 4:08 a.m., the K-9 officer found the sliding glass door that led to Franco's ground-floor apartment was open.
"They call inside, there is no response and a sergeant finds the body of Nicole Franco," Moschella said.
There were no efforts to resuscitate her, Moschella said.

Low Temperature
Low temperatures have adverse effects on almost all basic hardware. Exposure of test items to low temperatures may either temporarily or permanently impair the operation by changing the physical properties of the hardware. Therefore, low-temperature testing must be considered whenever the item will be exposed to temperatures below standard ambient. Examples of some problems that may occur when exposed to cold temperatures include:
- Hardening and embrittlement of hardware
- Binding of parts from differential contraction of dissimilar hardware and the different rates of expansion of parts in response to temperature transients
- Changes in electronic components (resistors, capacitors, etc.)
- Stiffening of shock mounts
- Cracking and crazing, embrittlement, change in impact strength and reduced strength
- Static fatigue of restrained glass
- Condensation and freezing of water

Masseria San Domenico (5 Star Luxury Hotels) Savelletri di Fasano
The Masseria San Domenico is one of Apulia's most highly acclaimed 5 star luxury hotels. Just 500 meters away from the sea edge on the coast between Bari and Brindisi, the hotel has been created in a building of great historic interest, part of which dates back to the XV century, when it was erected as a watch tower to guard the coast from attacks by the Ottoman armies.
In later years the building served as a farmhouse or "masseria", and was expanded so as to provide outbuildings for the processing and storage of the fruit and vegetables grown on the surrounding land and accommodation for farm workers and as occasional residence of the land owner himself. The building's transformation in luxury resort just over a decade ago, was performed with the utmost care being made so as to maintain the original architectural features of the farmstead and to conserve the combination of Moorish and indigenous Mediterranean styles which characterize the property.
The Masseria San Domenico has a total of 50 rooms and suites all beautifully furnished with pieces of period furniture and intricate wrought iron bedsteads and lamp stands. In true Mediterranean fashion, pristine white washed walls contrast with the richly colored textiles of the luxurious drapes and canopies.
The hotel is surrounded by 60 hectares of olive groves and fruit orchards, part of the produce of which is used in the kitchens of the hotel's "San Domenico" restaurant. The hotel's main restaurant boasts a magnificent dining room with arched vaults dating back to the 17th century. Guests are presented with a menu featuring a selection of the irresistible local specialties and same-day fresh sea food and fish from the Adriatic sea. The wine list gives diners the opportunity to taste any of the region's finest wines. The Pool Grill offers a sumptuous buffet lunch for those relaxing on the terraces of the hotel's fabulous swimming pool.
The Masseria San Domenico is a veritable 5 star luxury beach resort with private beach, gym, tennis courts, and Spa facility offering thalassotherapy using water drawn from a deep underground stratum some 400 meters below sea level, and an extensive range of massages, face and full body treatments. The San Domenico 18 hole Golf Club offers a spectacular sea edge golf experience.
