Story highlights
- The dress is from her clothing line and retailing for $138
- She wore the dress to introduce her father at the Republican convention
Washington (CNN)Looking to model yourself after the daughter of the Republican nominee for president? Ivanka Trump is here to help -- marketing her "look" on Twitter the day after delivering a speech at the GOP convention.
Trump, known for her business savvy, tweeted, "Shop Ivanka's look from her #RNC speech" -- likely the first time the daughter of a major party nominee has promoted a clothing line in conjunction with her father's presidential campaign.
The dress, called "Ivanka Trump Sleeveless Studded Sheath Dress," retails for $138 and is currently sold out on the site. The dress is also sold out at the department store Nordstrom.
The description on Macy's calls the pink dress a "sophisticated sheath dress" that "works wonders at both social and professional occasions with sleek studwork and a fabulous fit."
The tweet includes a photo of Trump introducing her father for his nomination acceptance speech.
She also included a link that redirects to Macy's, which carries her clothing line. It's an affiliate link, which means Trump may be receiving commission from sales.
Trump got into the fashion industry by starting a jewelry collection in 2007, and then eventually expanded into clothing, shoes, handbags and more.

In case you missed this, video of Oregon legislators speaking the lyrics to Rick Astley's 1987 song "Never Gonna Give You Up" was packed into a music video and posted to YouTube on April Fool's Day.
More from a Time magazine blog:
Last year then-freshman Oregon House member Jefferson Smith came up with the joke while brainstorming with his wife. The bipartisan chorus interpreted the song one lyric at a time while politicking the state's legislative business, remaining unknown to anyone.
He convinced his colleagues, who remember Astley's tune and understand the concept of Rick Rolling, to go through with the prank.
It took a year and two months to put together the video, which was spliced together from footage of the legislative sessions kept for public record.
Shocking that no one watching hours and hours of Oregon legislative sessions noticed the lyrics slipped into speeches.
The video is below:

Hmm, I didn't realize that would be controversial. I mean, I think it's pretty clear that when you take a message and put it in a URI such that you can invoke GET on it, that whomever you give that URI to doesn't have to know what the method in the message means, and therefore the semantic of the exchange has changed. Hmm.. But yes, I strongly believe that this would be a principle of Web architecture (though "principle" is quite weakly defined). > Is this the "opaque URI" > principle in another guise? I thought that was controversial even among > RESTifarians ... It is related to Tim's "opacity axiom", but only to the RESTful part of that axiom which says that one need not have any prior knowledge of any part of a URI in order to invoke GET on it (per the uniform interface constraint, I think). The other part of Tim's axiom says that no information can be gleaned from a URI, which REST doesn't talk about, but it also doesn't constrain you from inferring structure from "/", for example, so long as the other constraints are followed while doing so.

The New Jersey School of Conservation attracts school groups from all over the tri-state area. From New York City to Philadelphia to the Cape May Point, students travel from private, public, and charter schools to experience the outdoors and study this pristine northern New Jersey ecosystem. For many of the students who arrive, the School of Conservation campus offers an entirely new and unique landscape; some have never traveled outside of their urban and suburban hometowns.
However, for some students who come to learn, the temperate forest ecosystem, Eastern Hemlock stands, and American Black Bears are very familiar. Such is the case for the seventh graders of Netcong Elementary School, who didn't have far to travel for their annual three-day stay at the School of Conservation. Located just thirty miles from campus, Netcong Elementary features small class sizes that provide for a more intimate, student-focused education. Technology teacher and Trip Coordinator Gina Szarejko explained that this year's seventh grade class is exceptionally small, consisting of only approximately twenty students. Therefore, facilitating a strong bond between the students is important. And what better way to do it than at the only outdoor education center of its kind in New Jersey!
"We want the kids to learn teamwork," Szarejko said, which is an important value that the School of Conservation instills in each group that visits. Netcong students worked together to solve intellectual and physical challenges through out their entire stay, participating in Group Initiatives, Confidence Course, and New Games. One student remarked that the self-confidence he gained on the Confidence Course, a low rope course, could help him and his classmates to end bullying in their school. Szarejko and Writing teacher, Darrell Sandrue, both believe that the natural surroundings are key to helping the students develop character and personal ethics: "Once you get rid of the pen and paper, give them a new setting, they will learn…They learn about themselves and each other."
In fact, scholars and scientists alike agree that simply being exposed to nature can improve the overall mental health of an individual, in addition to the well being of a community. Drawing upon studies and research across the globe, journalist and nature writer Richard Louv writes, "Among the benefits [of spending time in nature:] improvement of psychological well-being; generation of physical health benefits by reducing blood pressure and burning calories; and the building of social networks."
Learning in the outdoors—whether it be about the historic geological processes that shaped the Appalachian Mountain Range and surrounding Stokes State Forest in Stream Geo-Ecology or an integrated class such as Boating that fosters individuality, freedom, and curiosity for water ecosystems—takes students out of the traditional classroom and allows for a full sensory experience that lasts a lifetime. Sandrue remembers his own trip as a young student to the School of Conservation, commenting on how he's thoroughly enjoyed witnessing the positive evolution of the curriculum over the years. Indeed, School of Conservation staff and educators continuously make changes and improvements to current lessons to reflect the changing social and technological world, even creating new courses altogether. They also help Montclair State University graduate students and professors conduct wildlife research on campus and stay informed on the latest studies about environmental education and introducing the natural world to children.
Both Szarejko and Sandrue agree on the importance of this trip. Having been bringing students to campus for many years now, they notice the difference it makes in their students' lives. Not only do the students gain valuable knowledge about ecology and working as a team, but they have fun while doing it. "The kids come back from this trip and they are like our best friends. They go to Washington DC too, but think that the trip to the School of Conservation is so much better!"

Peek-a-Blue! Beyonce posted an adorable picture via Tumblr on Tuesday, March 25, of 2-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, playing peekaboo (and dress up!) with her superstar mommy.
Blue — wearing floral pajamas, a bright orange beanie, and matching oversized cat-eye glasses — held up both palms in front of her face as she shut her eyes. From previous similar shots, it looks like the game is actually a mother-daughter favorite. Last fall, Bey posted a funny photo of herself playing peekaboo with her little one, both of their eyes sneakily peeking out from a cloth hammock. More recent photos of Blue show the toddler playing on the beach, marveling at giraffes, and dancing with her father at the Versace Mansion.
Prior to embarking on her (still going!) worldwide tour, Beyonce told Vogue in February 2013 that her daughter accompanies her all around the globe. "[Blue is] my road dog…She's my homey, my best friend," Jay Z's wife quipped. "Family has always been important. I've always had my mother and my father and my husband. But it's just…Life is so much more than…It's not defined by any of this [fame or money]."
The "XO" singer uploaded additional photos on Tuesday via Tumblr of herself, enjoying a peaceful getaway with Jay Z. The spouses of nearly six years were snapped from behind in their bathing suits — Jay in swim trunks and Bey in a black bikini — enjoying the serenity of some unknown tropical destination. Click here to see more pics from her bikini-clad getaway.
Beyonce is currently on the final leg of her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour in Europe. She performed Monday night in Barcelona, and will wrap her global trek on Thursday, March 27 after back-to-back shows in Lisbon, Portugal.

Your workshops start on Friday at 17:00 with the Auditions. You will get 3 songs to dance on. You will rotate before each song.
This will help us ensure that you picked the right level for you, so you can get the most out of this Event. After the audition you will receive your event wristband at the registration desk.
If you have missed your audition or have any problem with it, please look for Andrei or Lumi.
Our workshops will be gender balanced. This means that for each level we will ensure a 50 - 50 % participation of both leaders & followers. This also means that, at some point, we will have to close registration for one role, so make sure to register as soon as possible to secure your place.
Workshops are amazing! You improve your technique and learn new moves. Learning is the first part however, we all know that practice makes perfect and what better way to practice than a party? Or actually three parties!
Friday's Party
The first will be on Friday where you can take the opportunity to meet your colleagues for the next few days.
Themed Saturday's Party
The second party will be on Saturday and in order to spice things up a little, it will be Medieval Themed. We don't expect you to have medieval clothing in your wardrobe, so don't get out of your way to purchase some. Feel free to get creative with what you have: corsets, vests & other stuff. We still want this party to be a memorable one, so we will provide a few props and costumes which you can use to take pictures.
Sunday's Party
The third and last party of the event will be on Sunday. Use this opportunity to dance until the sun comes up and share contacts with your new friends, you will definitely meet them at other events, so stay in touch. :-)
JnJ + Themed Competitions
For this edition of Citadel Swing we are offering four JnJ competition levels: Newcomer, Novice, Intermediate and Advanced.
Registration for the JnJ competitions end on Saturday, 14:55! Late entries will not be accepted, sorry! You will get 3 songs. You will rotate before each song.
Your competition starts on Saturday, 16:15 with Marshalling!
We will post the heats in time so you know when you have to participate. We will place you in the right order and the whole heat marches onto the dance-floor at once. This will help us be on time.
Themed Competition
On Friday night at 22:00 everybody will participate in this really fun competition. The rules will be announced on the spot. Keep that tension rising ... >:)
Before being event organizers and West Coast Swing promoters, we were (and still are) dancers. As dancers we found it hard to find and purchase dance wear. We struggled to find the right pair of dancing shoes & clothing to complement us on the dance-floor. We thought of many ways to make this easier for us and for you, so the Marketplace is the best idea we had so far.
So what is this Marketplace about?
First of all, it's about you, the dancer! If you want to get that new pair of shoes or cool shirts and accessories, you will have the chance to browse through the available items.
Second of all, it's about you, the creative soul! If you personalize or distribute dancing shoes, clothing or accessories make the most of this opportunity and show them all off. Bring your stuff and we will make sure that you have a reserved spot to advertise & sell it. There are no costs involved, we want you to keep all the profits. Please contact us as soon as you decide to participate in the marketplace, so that we can take care of the organizational aspects.
And last but not least, it's about them, our local manufacturers & partners. They all make our lives as dancers much easier and we feel that it is our responsibility to help them get to know you and your needs. Below you can find a list of partners who already confirmed their attendance to the Citadel Swing Marketplace. Please check back often, as this list will get updated as soon as others will confirm.
The Marketplace will be held on Sunday from 17:30 until 20:30. See you there!
Partners: to be announced.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Gavia pacifica
OTHER NAMES: Pacific Diver
STATUS: Rare in late fall, winter, and spring in Tennessee Valley and Gulf Coast regions. Occasional in Mountain region.
DESCRIPTION: The Pacific loon is a medium sized member of the family Gaviidae. They have a gray head, black throat, white under wings and belly with a chequered black and white mantle. Non-breeding plumage is drabber with white chin and foreneck. Lack of a white flank patch distinguishes it from otherwise very similar black-throated loon. Their bill is dagger shaped. They fly with their neck extended and are very clumsy on land and in air but graceful in the water.
DISTRIBUTION: Found wintering mainly on the Pacific coast this loon ranges from the U.S.A. to China, Japan, North and South Korea and Mexico. They have been found in Greenland, Europe and Great Britain.
HABITAT: Pacific loons prefer open oceans and large lakes. They typically nest in marginal water areas on floating masses of vegetation referred to as "float-on" and grasses.
FEEDING HABITS: Like many other divers, Pacific loons feed primarily on fish. Their air sacs allow them to dive to great depths and stay submerged for several minutes.
LIFE HISTORY AND ECOLOGY: Monogamous as long as the relationship produces young. Only the female ventures out of the water to nest. Typically two eggs are produced, one a few weeks before the other. The older egg is also the first to hatch and the older offspring takes on a dominant role in feeding. The age discrepancy sometimes results in the death of the second hatchling. Young are totally dependant on parents for first eight weeks and ride on their backs to reduce predation. Males often compete for females in mortal combat with dagger shaped bill. Loons are aesthetically pleasing with a haunting call.

Hey Everyone!
Today's design was actually inspired by one of my favourite Youtubers, Shaanxo, when she posted the following picture on her Instagram after getting her nails done at Doll House Nails & Beauty:
I love everything about this design, the geometric shapes, the colour scheme as well as the added glitter! I opted for a different colour scheme for my nails though, a shimmery dark purple, a paler créme purple and then silver sparkles:
As you can see my design is slightly different from Shannon's because all my nails feature a geometric pattern, rather than just two accent nails. I created this design using a striper polish with a white base for the paler purple and silver to ensure the colour pay off was to the highest opacity. This design was actually fairly quick to do and easy, all that you really need is a steady hand to make sure the lines are nice and straight. Aside from that, it isn't too difficult.
The dark polish I used is from a set I have by The Colour Workshop and try as I might to find it online, I just can't! For this reason, I found a few polishes that look visually similar online since it is a very pretty colour:
You may recognise the pale purple polish, Bubblegum, from my recent Pastel Drip Nails and Technic Pretty Pastels Polish Review and if you've seen those posts you'll know this was one of my favourites from the collection.
Also, the Mosaic Effects Avon Top Coat is from my Chain Manicure nails, another polish I am very fond of.
I love this design because the colour combinations are literally endless, any colours your pair together in a geometric design would work so well. Making this design easier without limitation.
What do you think of geometric nails?

Background: Font color:
The snow leopard was the biggest Hagrid had ever seen. And, by holy snowbells, it was nowhere close to its natural habitat. It also showed signs of tremendous intelligence as it stared the half-giant down.
"Find something, mates?" James asked, his wand stuck behind his right ear as he pored over a similar tome, though he flicked his eyes between a piece of parchment where he was listing down spells and enchantments.
There was a catch; there had to be one.
And now, there was no reflective surface he could peruse in order ascertain the exact breed of canine he was. Considering his family, he was in no doubt that it was going to be grossly huge and inbred.
Sirius walked down the tunnel, marveling at how he could easily make logical decisions as well as brood simultaneously in his new form. As a human boy, it had been practically impossible to isolate his mourning for a dead girl and still focus on tasks at hand. James and Peter had the audacity to think that he was alright if he concentrated on things rather than when he was idle, but Emily had always been on his mind; the loss of Emily, the imminent loss of his mind, the estrangement of his brother, the resentment towards Dumbledore, Harys and most of the "noble" gang in general, the fear and loathing he held for Voldemort, the crushing disappointment he was to his parents, Minerva McGonagall's pity sermons – oh, they were always there, running like Wizarding Wireless at the back of his human mind.
The wolf had joined in with his own howl before the dog completed the first one.

Carnival news item
MIAMI - Carnival Corp. said Monday that cruise cancellations, the chartering of three ships for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts and other costs related to the catastrophic storm should cut earnings by a penny to 3 cents a share, with most of the impact in the fourth quarter.
The world's largest cruise operator said it had to cancel one voyage and shorten two others for its Carnival Cruise Lines brand because of the storm, which hit the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29. The brand has chartered three ships to the federal government for six months to be used as shelters for up to 7,000 hurricane refugees.
The home port for two of the ships had been New Orleans, but the company does not expect them to operate from there for an "extended period of time" because of the damage. One will relocate indefinitely to Galveston, Texas.
"We have every intention of relaunching cruise service from the great city of New Orleans as soon as the infrastructure is in place so that our ships may contribute to the economic recovery of the area," said Micky Arison, Carnival Corp.'s chairman and chief executive.
He said that the third ship will return to Mobile, Ala., after the charter ends because hurricane damage to the port wasn't extensive.

Alfie Back at Dukes & Oldham Grange
Glenn Meads • Blackpool, Bolton, Chester, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Oldham, Salford • 30 Mar 2012
Alfie Elkins: the working class Don Juan of the East End - the man about town with the world at his feet. And a new bird every Saturday night. It's the height of the Swinging Sixties, and no one is embracing the spirit of free love more than Alfie. But all good things must come to an end and when his no-strings-attached life starts to come apart at the seams, it's time for him to wonder 'what's it all about'?
Despite starting life as a radio play, Alfie was made world famous by Michael Caine in one of the most iconic films of the 1960s. It received five Oscar nominations and was voted in Total Film Magazine's top 50 greatest British films of all time. Alfie was later remade with Jude Law as the eponymous anti-hero.
This famous piece is the most celebrated work by Bill Naughton (1910-1992). Naughton wrote the first ever play to be performed at the Octagon (Annie and Fanny) and his play Spring and Port Wine (2008) is still the best-selling production in Octagon history. Bill Naughton is a key figure in post-World War II English literary life. A popular writer, his work reflects significant changes in consciousness and society in 1950s and 1960s Britain.
Artistic Director David Thacker comments on his decision to bring this iconic piece of work back to the stage: "Bringing Alfie to the stage in the Bill Naughton's home town is a real privilege for me as a Director, and also as a huge admirer of Naughton's work. As is often the case with great writing, many of the issues that the play explores are still relevant today and I really hope that many people who have enjoyed the film versions of Alfie will come to see the play and experience something quite wonderful in the intimate setting of the Octagon auditorium."
The cast includes Vicky Binns in the role of Annie, the naïve young girl who falls for Alfie, despite his cooling affections for her. Unlike the vulnerable character of Annie, Vicky is most well known for her role playing the strong-willed Molly Dobbs in ITV's Coronation Street. Molly's affair with married father Kevin Webster, and eventual death in the dramatic tram crash episode in 2010, rocked the Street and ensured her place in the cobbles' history. Vicky last appeared at the Octagon Theatre in the 24:7 Theatre Festival production Dave & Jeff Versus the Crazy Corpse Loving Consultant From Cardiothoracics in 2008.
Ricardo-Pearce appeared at the Octagon earlier this year in the role of yet another famous leading lover when he took on the role of Romeo in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. David also appeared in the Octagon production of Melvyn Bragg's The Hired Man, which received the TMA Award for Best Performance in a Musical by an ensemble cast in 2010.
Alfie is at the The Dukes from 3 -7 April and at the Grange (Oldham Coliseum's temporary home) from 11 - 28 April.

Comcast Users Gripe About Bandwidth Limits
MINNEAPOLIS -- Comcast's plan to place a cap on consumer Internet use worries some customers who have come to take unfettered Web surfing for granted, even though most users aren't affected by the move.
Beginning Oct. 1, Comcast will limit use of Internet bandwidth -- a measure of all of a person's monthly downloads and uploads of text, graphics, music, movies, photos and other information. The company said it reserves the right to terminate any residential customer who disregards company warnings and twice violates a limit of 250 gigabytes per month. Previously, the company didn't have a specific limit.The idea is to keep bandwidth hogs from ruining the Internet experience for other residential customers, because the cable network is a shared medium of limited bandwidth capacity, Comcast said.
But that's got some Comcast customers worried.
"Your typical Comcast Internet user will not be affected, but the power users -- people that watch movies or TV online, or that download a lot of video or software -- will be hurt," said Ryan Coleman, a Comcast Internet customer in Minneapolis who edits photos for a college magazine and downloads 40 to 80 gigabytes of data every week. "I have a feeling that I might be dead in the water in October."
Others are concerned about what this means for the Internet's future.
"It's absolutely critical that the Internet remain a level playing field, and that no one have control over what runs over it," said Steve Borsch of Eden Prairie, Minn.
Borsch runs a business and blogs about technology using Comcast's Internet service. He said the bandwidth limit is a bad move because it hurts Internet video services while helping Comcast's cable TV service.
Some analysts agree.
"A bandwidth limit discourages consumers from downloading or streaming Internet video, particularly of high-definition video," said S. Derek Turner, research director for Free Press, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit public policy group dealing with Internet and media issues. "That helps preserve Comcast's traditional cable TV service."
Comcast says such concerns are overblown. The company's monthly bandwidth limit is so high -- the equivalent of downloading about 62,500 songs -- that fewer than 1 percent of its customers are likely to be affected, said spokesman Charlie Douglas at Comcast's Philadelphia headquarters. Today, the average Comcast customer uses only a tiny fraction of the limit, he said, or about 2 to 3 gigabytes a month.
But Turner said the bandwidth limit is likely to affect more Comcast Internet users in the near future because of products such as Apple TV that can transfer Internet video to television sets.
"Comcast's 250-gigabyte bandwidth cap, while very high now, won't be high in the future," Turner said. "The way the Olympics were viewed on the Internet signals that consumers are ready to embrace online content."
Even today, someone watching eight hours a day of a standard- definition video or four hours a day of high-definition video could run afoul of Comcast's bandwidth cap, Turner said.
Douglas said Comcast will periodically review the bandwidth limit as online video viewing increases, but he declined to say whether the company would increase it.
Comcast has said that the bandwidth cap is unrelated to a recent Federal Communications Commission finding that Comcast was improperly limiting the ability of its customers to use BitTorrent, a popular file-sharing program. On Thursday, Comcast said it was appealing the FCC's ruling.

Standing outside the service being held for Jason, she felt like he had when they had lost Emily and was banned from her funeral. It was hard, painfully so, to have to sit through the entire ceremony from outside the church doors. She doesn't know how he managed to do it all those years ago, but the pain she feels is just overwhelmingly unbearable.
She had to be there, though. She had to say goodbye to their past and to their love before she said goodbye to Port Charles for good. With Jason gone, she had nothing left to keep her in that town. Her relationship with her grams is barely there, she couldn't take being around her brother now that Jason's gone, not after everything that's happened.
Her entire life, her boys' lives, are packed away in shipping boxes, awaiting the movers to load them into their trucks and transport them cross country to her new home. Everything was set, all she had to do now was board a plane with her boys and leave Port Charles in the past for good.
As the ceremony came to an end, Elizabeth made a silent exit as the others began to rise out of their seats, she couldn't risk being caught in the church. Now that Sam has finally accepted Jason's dead, she has decided that its all Elizabeth's fault. All the wasted time, time that could have been spent with her husband, Sam has decided that its all Elizabeth's fault for getting in the middle of their marriage.
With her boys patiently waiting for her at her Grams, Elizabeth makes her way through the town, to every last place that mattered. Jake's. Kelly's. The Boxcar. Tears frozen in her eyes the entire time. Spending as much time as she could at every location, though it wasn't much, saying goodbye to the memories.
The Winding Road. The Bridge to Nowhere. The statues. Heart breaking, tears falling, this was the hardest goodbye she's ever had to make. As she makes her way back to her car, a quote pops into her mind, making her angry to her core. How lucky am I to have known someone it was so hard to say goodbye to.
She's so tired of knowing people that was so hard to say goodbye to. She wants to know someone that she'll never have to say goodbye to. To find someone like that, well, that will be something to feel fortunate about. Not someone that made it hard to say goodbye. She hates goodbyes.
"Elizabeth, dear..." her grams tries to say something, but she just couldn't fathom what to say. It was no secret that Jason wasn't one of her favorite people.
"Thanks for watching the boys, Gram." Elizabeth says simply, picking up a sleeping Aiden in her arms before helping Cameron with his things. "I'll call you when we get settled into the new place."
"Do you really think its necessary for you to leave town?"
"After all these years...yeah, Gram." Elizabeth shakes her head. "Its more than necessary."
"I'm sorry you believe that."
"Take care of yourself, Gram." she says softly, hugging her grandmother. "And watch out for Steven for me...we both know he needs it from time to time."
"I will." she promises, smiling slightly in spite of her feelings. "Be safe."
"Always am." Elizabeth could taste the acid in those words but ignores it, taking her boys and leaving her Gram's home.
Securing her boys in the backseat of her car, she tosses their things into the trunk before getting into the driver's seat and heading to the house. She'll grab the luggage and then they'll be off. The movers had the key to the place and had complete access to their things. As much as she wanted to be there while they packed it all up into the truck, she just couldn't be. It hurt too much.
"Mom?" Cameron speaks for the first time since she picked them up. "Do we have to go?"
"I thought you were happy to be moving?" Elizabeth counters, turning to look at him after she parked the car in the driveway.
"I was." he admits, lowering his eyes to his game. "But...won't Jake feel all alone?"
"No, sweetheart." she shakes her head. "Gram's here and so is Uncle Steven. A lot of people that loved him will visit him all the time."
"But we won't."
"Baby, no matter where we go, your brother will never be too far away." she says softly, reaching back to hold his hand. "Your brother is wherever you are...in your heart...in your memories. We're never too far away, okay?"
"Okay." he shakes his head. "Can I help get the bags?"
"Of course, sweetie."
Taking her boys down, Elizabeth lays Aiden down on the couch, surprised that he hasn't stirred from his sleep yet. A part of her was glad that he wasn't awake, he'll be confused enough as it is, he didn't need to watch them load their stuff into the car.
With the help of her son, Elizabeth loaded their luggage, the necessities, before loading them back into the car to head to the airport. This had to be the right move. Staying in Port Charles just wasn't a viable option anymore. Too many painful memories, too much loss, just too much for her to bear.
"H-How is this possible?" Spinelli stutters through, unable to put a coherent thought together.
"There's no time to explain, right now." one of Jason's long time friends urges him. "You have to stop her from leaving. Can you do that?"
"I...how?" Spinelli shakes his head, confused beyond belief. "She's scheduled to fly out in less than an hour."
"I don't care how you do it. Just do it! She can't leave now."
"O-Okay." Spinelli grabs his laptop, hacking into the air traffic control. "I'll do my best."
Typing away at the speed of light, Spinelli is able to hack into the air traffic control tower and delay Elizabeth's flight. With the first step out of the way, he books it to the airport, praying to all that's holy that he's able to pull it off. The last time he saw Elizabeth, she had been so adamant in leaving that he wasn't sure he'd be able to stop her.
"I'm sorry, ma'am." the airport customer service apologizes. "They're not saying why the flight was delayed, just that it was."
"I can't believe this." Elizabeth groans, pacing back and forth. It wasn't supposed to be this damn hard.
"Mom?" Cameron pulls her out of her head space. "Are we leaving?"
"Our flight's been delayed, sweetheart." Elizabeth kneels down beside him. "Its just gonna take a little longer than we thought."
"Maternal One!"
"No way." Elizabeth turns at the use of her nickname, finding the only person that would ever use it. "Spinelli? Please tell me you're not responsible for the flight delay."
"Spinelli!" Cameron exclaims, doing his secret handshake with his somewhat newly found friend.
"Hey, little man." Spinelli smiles slightly.
"Spinelli!" Elizabeth snaps, bringing his attention back to her. "What's going on?"
"You can't leave." Spinelli says seriously. "Not now."
"We've been through this." Elizabeth sighs, shaking her head. "There's nothing left for me here. Its time that we had a fresh start."
"I know that you feel that way, but the Jackal is begging you to go off of trust." Spinelli pleads with her. "I'll explain everything, but not here. Please, you can't leave Port Charles. Not now."
"Now more than ever, Maternal One." Spinelli says pleadingly. "Its pertinent that you're in town."
"If this is some kind of game..." she starts to say before he cuts her off.
"I'd never do that to you." Spinelli says wholeheartedly. "It'll all be explained shortly...please, trust me."
"Fine." Elizabeth shakes her head, gesturing for him to push the luggage cart. "I'm gonna trust you."
"Thank you."
Leading them out of the airport, Cameron all smiles by now, knowing that they weren't leaving. Once they are all loaded into the car, luggage in the trunk, Elizabeth instructs Cameron to listen to his music on his headphones before telling Spinelli to start explaining. She just put a stop to her plans with less than a moment's notice and she wanted answers.
"Two words." Spinelli says seriously. "Two words and I promise you'll be glad you didn't board that plane."
"Just spit it out already." Elizabeth counters. "I can't take anymore suspense in my life right now."
"Jason's alive."
Reviews politely encouraged! :D Hope you enjoyed!

Sky Crown Terraces are two identical and adjacent houses designed and built by Bercy Chen Studio in Austin, Texas. The monolithic form, courtyards, and habitable flat roofs evoke the vernacular of the American Southwest interpreted by Modernism. Inspired by the sculpture of Michael Heizer, Eduardo Chillida, and Jorge Yazpik, the strategy of volumetric subtraction enhances the materiality of the basic conception of the houses as stucco boxes crowned by steel panels. The consequentiality of the vernacular together with the elegance of orthogonal abstraction clad in nakedly simple materials do nothing to distract from the peculiar delights of the understated landscape and raw climate of the Texas Hill Country.

Bank Of America Hit With Massive Fraud Lawsuit Over Countrywide
Countrywide continues to be the Achilles heel of Bank of America (BAC) with more allegations of fraud. An article from the Advisor Network revealed that over a dozen institutional investors have joined forces in a lawsuit against Bank of America alleging that a "massive fraud" was committed when Countrywide made "reckless and knowingly false" statements about the mortgage backed securities (MBS) they were packaging and selling to investors. Among the institutional investors involved are Dexia Holdings, New York Life Insurance Company, TIAA-CREFF and Mainstay Funds, who maintain that they were looking for conservative, low risk investments when they purchased hundreds of millions of dollars worth of the Countrywide MBS during the period between 2005 and 2007.
As we have reported earlier, testimony procured in a New Jersey foreclosure case revealed that it was "customary for Countrywide to maintain possession of the original note and related documents", according to a report by Kate Berry for the American Banker. This would mean that Countrywide Financial, which as stated above is now owned by Bank of America (BAC), appears not to have properly transferred necessary mortgage documents when it sold loans to other banks, which then in turn created mortgage backed securities (MBS) from the loans. If the mortgage backed securities turn out not to be "mortgage backed", then investors who purchased the securities could be able to force Bank of America to buy the securities back. Additionally, if the titles to the homes in foreclosure were improperly created, banks will find it harder to foreclose and selling the properties will be difficult.
If you have suffered losses in MBS, contact our securities law firm for a confidential, no obligation consultation at 1-800-259-9010.

Vintage-Inspired Farmhouse Kitchen
Vintage aesthetics meet modern amenities in this cozy farmhouse kitchen that's built to handle a crowd.
Everything In This Slideshow
1 of 11
Through the Ages
Hand-painted cabinets, steely finishes, tall windows, and an open floor plan make for a bright and breezy kitchen that invites friends and family to stay and chat. Although the design was inspired by vintage farmhouse kitchens, there's nothing worn about this room's overall look. Touches of stainless steel offer contemporary counterpoints to bronze cabinet hardware, satin-nickel faucets, and furniture-style cabinetry to enhance the collected-over-time look the homeowners craved.
2 of 11
Farmhouse Character
Days-gone-by touches flow freely throughout the kitchen. Hand-brushed paint finishes, crown-molding caps, carved feet, and recessed toe-kicks give custom cabinetry the look of freestanding cabinets that furnished kitchens years ago. The island's walnut countertop not only stands up to daily wear and tear, but it also mimics an antique farmhouse table.
3 of 11
Lighting with Style
A weathered metal basket equipped with a chandelier fixture creates an unexpected focal point above the island. Antique mercury-glass street-sign lights illuminate the other kitchen work zones and add even more vintage character to the space. Reclaimed-wood ceiling beams draw the eye upward and emphasize the aged-farmhouse vibe of the kitchen and adjoining dining room.
4 of 11
Style Meets Function
The spacious island offers prep space as well as a central gathering spot for the homeowners' large family. The island's small undermount prep sink creates a convenient workstation while showcasing the thick walnut countertop.

Crisp white marble on the perimeter countertops and behind the sink highlight the similar tone of the traditional farmhouse-style basin. A satin-nickel bridge faucet offers a period-apt profile and a toned-down finish that echoes the veining of the surrounding marble. Camouflaged by a cabinet panel and a bronze pull, the modern dishwasher blends seamlessly into the kitchen's old-meets-new aesthetic.
7 of 11
On Display
Open shelving above the sink offers display space for dishware and vintage collectibles. The white dishes create a cohesive display that echoes the finish of the apron-front sink below. Beaded-board panels behind the shelves add a texture and traditional cottage character.
8 of 11
Old Meets New
Handcrafted tiles in shifting hues of white and cream add depth and interest behind the range. The industrial silhouettes and utilitarian nature of the range and vent hood contribute to the kitchen's effortless mix of vintage-style and modern amenities. Traditional double-hung windows stretch from floor to ceiling to admit unimpeded natural light and views of the outside.
9 of 11
Modern Conveniences
Cabinetry panels hide modern appliances to further the room's the old-fashioned aesthetic. Here, a breakfast station corrals small appliances to reduce countertop clutter and ease morning routines. Refrigerator drawers beneath the breakfast station provide additional storage for food and easy access for guests.
10 of 11
Dining in Style
The large iron-and-bronze chandelier in the adjoining dining area picks up on the kitchen's hardware while illuminating an expandable farmhouse table. Cozy chairs upholstered in soft striped fabric invite guests to linger after the meal is over. A large cabinet along one wall provides storage for table linens and other dining room essentials.

There are reports that Inter President Massimo Moratti had dinner with Andre Villas-Boas in London last weekend.
According to Sportmediaset, the patron was seen eating with the sacked Chelsea manager at the Egerton House Hotel in Knightsbridge.
This fuels the already strong reports that Inter have pin-pointed Villas-Boas as the heir to Claudio Ranieri for next season.
The Portuguese tactician is already familiar for the Nerazzurri, as he was Jose Mourinho's assistant manager in 2008-09.
President Moratti is in Verona this evening, as he is in the stands of the Stadio Bentegodi to watch his team play Chievo.

IBM has said it is developing chipsets for an eight-way Merced machine using a combination of copper wiring and silicon on insulator (SOI) technology. The company said that it is migrating a number of features from high end servers to support the Intel platform. Bill Colton, worldwide general manager of the Netfinity division, said: "We will blend the best IBM technologies -- the stuff that powered the Nagano Olympics and Deep Blue -- with the best of the Wintel architecture to create hardware that stands apart from the pack." Other features it will use in the 8-way Merced processor include OnForever, a scheme intended to extend high availability capabilities of Hot Plug PCI to processors and memory and provide diagnostics. Netfinity server clusters will be able to use interconnect technology from the SP RS/6000, which will allow the connection of Netfinity servers to RS/6000 SP clusters. According to Big Blue, the SOI based chipsets deliver higher speed and performance clusters, a claim Intel denies. The company will also incorporate glass ceramic chip carriers into Netfinity servers. That gives faster communication between chips, claimed IBM, without increasing heat or consuming more electricity. ® Click here for more stories

from Bettiah in the northernmost part of the West Champaran
district, bordering Nepal. It is a small town with scattered

tack, which is broken and undulating, often showing highly fragile
geological formations. As a result there are step ravines,
knife-edge ridges and precipitous walls formed by landslips and
sol-erosion. The road nearly 30 kms runs through the forest leading
to Gandak barrage.
The great Gandak and Masan rivers
collect all the water from numerous, tortuous tributaries. The hill
system is a continuation of the Shiwalik Range, largely made of
imperfectly compacted and ill formed sandstone dotted with pebbles
and boulders. Valmiki sanctuary covering approximately 800 sq km of
forest and is the 18th Tiger Reserve of the country and ranked
fourth with density of Tiger population. Adjacent to the sanctuary
in the forest in Chitwan National Park of Nepal, lies the historic
Valmiki Ashram and surrounding temples.
The place has the major religious and
historical attraction of the Valmiki Ashram. Although it is located
in Nepal, but one has to travel through the forests of Valmikinagar
to reach the Ashram, and that is through India. Even the Nepalese
have to travel through Valmikinagar, in India to reach the Ashram.
Valmiki Ashram is located at a
distance of about 7 kms from Valmikinagar, the Gandak barrage, in
the deep forest of Chitwan National Park in Nepal. Rishi Valmiki had
written the great epic, "Ramayana", here. Various points of interest
around the ashram are: Birthplace of Luv & Kush (the two sons of
Lord Ram and his divine wife- Sita); Sita's 'Falahar' eating place;
Meditation place of the great Sage-Valmiki; the place where the
Ashwamedh horse was tied; Amrit Kuan; Vishnu Chakra; Gagristhan and
the Hawan Kund.
Various temples, which are located in
the periphery of 3 - 4 kms around the Valmiki Ashram, are the
Jatashankar Temple, Nardevi Temple and Kaleshwar Temple, surrounded
by green forest in the backdrop of the Himalayan Mountains. Triveni

height with a diameter of 35.5" at the base and 26.2" at the top.
This pillar is over 2000 year old and in excellent condition.
Nandan Garh is a huge mound composed
of bricks and is about 80 feet high. According to the authoritative
source, it is an Ashoka Stupa, in which ashes of Lord Buddha's
funeral pyre are enshrined.
Someshwar Fort is situated in
Narkatiyaganj sub-division, near Nepal border, on top of Someshwar
Hill at 2884 ft. above M.S.L. It is in a ruined state but its
remains are well defined.
Close to Valmikinagar is Triveni, which is a holy place for Hindus.
The name is derived from the fact that three river, namely – Naraini,
Sohna and Pachnad- merge here, to form Gandak, soon after they
emerge from the hills. Triveni is also believed to be the site at
which the fight commenced between the Lords of Forest and Water (Gaj

Well, this is our 200th post and it seems fitting to mark that with the conclusion of the Jubilee celebrations. It's a bit sad that it's over, but we still have Trooping the Colour on June 16 and of course the Olympics to look forward to. It will be a very Royal summer!
The Jubilee Ensembles
Let's dive in by first looking at what the ladies were wearing today.
We must start with he Queen, who showed up looking lovely in another Angela Kelly creation, this time in mint green. Kudos to her for creating such beautiful looks for these celebrations! Just like it was for the Thames Pageant, her coat was embroidered with tiny Swarovski crystals. Very fitting for her Diamond jubilee and love that she chose to wear her Cullinan diamond brooch. It looked spectacular pinned to the coat:
Like it was on Saturday, another photograph of Her Majesty's outfit was issued:
Meanwhile, Kate was wearing a gorgeous lacy McQueen dress with a Jane Taylor hat, pearl drop earrings, and her trusty Prada clutch and LK Bennet pumps. A bit more of Kate coming up!
Beatrice and Eugenie showed up looking lovely as well. This was definitely their best Jubilee appearance in my books.
And bonus: these could both be recycled for the Easter service next year!
Here's one more look at Eugenie's nails:
Camilla's upturned Philip Treacy hat was lovely with her gold jacket and four strand pearl choker:
It's nice to see Peter and Autumn Philips with Zara, too. Check out Autumn's patriotic hat! Zara's looks like some sort of hat tiara.
Let's get another look at that. I think this is another one for the Zara history books. In fact, it might be the wackiest one yet. Check out our review on Zara's Christmas hats over the years here.
Hurray for another knockout look by Sophie, who also showed up in navy and it looks like she had on LK Bennet pumps as well:
Her Royal Cuteness Lady Louise, was there! Love seeing her out:
The Service of Thanksgiving
The service was a solemn occasion, with Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams (who sat with the royals at the concert last night) commenting that they were celebrating "six decades of living proof that public service is possible and that it is a place where happiness can be found." Everyone seemed to be having a tough time staying alert and attentive after the revelry the night before (looking at you, Harry):
In the row behind Harry, that's Viscount Linley, Lord and Lady Frederick Windsor, and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent:
The Carriage Procession
I'm sooo glad it wasn't raining too hard for this! Charles and Camilla joined the Queen in her carriage, no doubt wishing that Prince Philip could be there with them:
and William and Kate sat with Harry:
It must have been quite something to have been sitting in one of those carriages.
The Balcony Appearance
As was announced last week, just the seven most senior members of the Royal Family in terms of succession were on the balcony for the flypast this afternoon. The ladies were all very colour co-ordinated, with the Queen standing out the most. This is more proof that lots of planning goes into these ensembles.
This marks Kate's third Buckingham Palace balcony appearance in a little over a year and for each of them she has worn a white, cream, or lacy Alexander McQueen. Love that new tradition!
Appearance #1 of course:
Appearance #2:
and Appearance #3:
Well done, Kate!
The flypast
The "wow moment" happened! One of our Royal posters was able to get these shots of the planes from their vantage point in London, which just so happens to be a nine second flight from Buckingham Palace…
In formation!
So cool. This is how they looked flying over Buckingham Palace
The Royals check it out below. At one point, we could see Kate asking Harry if they should be waving. He seemed to say, "I think it's just the Queen now."
Well, what a fun few days!! Any favourite jubilee moments to share?

New Testament Christological Hymns
Full Product Description
A study of the hymnic and liturgical material in the New Testament which describes Christ's nature and person. Professor Sanders analyzes the hymns in detail and finds in them a common mythological pattern. He traces its origin to a particular and unorthodox branch of Judaism which is itself a branch of the 'wisdom' tradition where the thanksgiving hymn had its home. His conclusions therefore have considerable importance and implications for questions about the origins of Gnosticism and its influence on Christianity. This is the full-scale historical religious study of the New Testament Christological hymns, and English readers will find particularly useful Professor Sanders' critical survey of recent continental scholarship on this and related subjects.
New Testament Christological Hymns by Jack T. Sanders was published by Cambridge University Press in December 2004 and is our 65642nd best seller. The ISBN for New Testament Christological Hymns is 9780521615969.
