- Michael De Marsches next stop, the valley city of Yerevan, Armenia, has mountains visible in the distance on a clear day, but much farther away than Pikes Peak from Colorado Springs.
Michael De Marsche arrived in Colorado Springs four years ago this month, inspired to take this city's arts community to the Promised Land.
He did the bricks-and- mortar part, overseeing the Fine Arts Center's $28 million expansion. But if that building was the fancy vehicle, its materialistic captain decided his mission didn't include the actual voyage.
So he bolted. Just like that. Here today, gone tomorrow. Love "em and leave "em. Take the money and run.
They all fit in trying to describe the sudden departure of De Marsche as president and chief executive officer of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center.
Mikey came here and used us, milking $28 million out of 350-plus wealthy people to build the FAC's expansion. Then he took a hike, spitting on us as he danced out the door and hit the road.
Not to Cleveland, Chicago, Atlanta or some other high-profile city. He's going to Yerevan, Armenia (population 1.2 million), formerly a part of the Soviet Union.
Mikey didn't care about Colorado Springs. All that he cared about was how he could take advantage of well-meaning, mostly deep-pocketed people who believed in him. If he'd had the class and/or the nerve to break the news in public, one can only imagine what he would have said. Perhaps something like this:
"I really enjoyed it here, Colorado Springs, but surely you didn't believe we'd be working together for years to come. You've got your big new museum. Now excuse me while I catch the next plane for the Middle East. And I have to find someone to teach me Armenian."
Uh, by the way, Mikey, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
You couldn't leave Mayberry soon enough, could you? Oh, excuse me, you came here from Mayberry actually, Auburn University in Alabama. And before that, the University of Southern Mississippi.
Colorado Springs must have seemed like cultural paradise after that. But we digress.
De Marsche apparently never realized, or cared, that he was on the cusp of becoming an icon here. He already had constructed the palace. Now all he had to do was make it truly great the unquestioned mecca of the local arts scene.
He had control of center stage, and he was in position to do so much more to build on his success. He could have used his momentum, and influence, to blaze important new trails, such as more opportunities for rising young artists, from residency programs to scholarships. He could have helped them mentor others currently at even earlier stages in their creative development.
He could have explored more ways to expose the best work of area artists and those top students, while also continuing to bring in world-class exhibits from everywhere. He could have pulled together the arts community, even cultivating governmental support, more so than anyone before him.
All of that was just as important as the palace. As he said in an interview with the Indy in April, "The first step is happening. If we don't get bogged down in negative and silly discussions, the sky's the limit. But it's going to take some vision."
De Marsche could have stayed here 10 more years, and by then, he would have become larger than life.
Instead, now he's waltzing off into the Armenian sunset, clicking his heels with glee over being able to parlay Colorado Springs into winning the Wheel of Fortune.
And now, rather than being remembered forever with reverence as a monumental figure in the city's arts evolution, Mikey will go down as the well-groomed, blow-dried, snake-oil salesman who took money over commitment, who upstaged his own grand opening, who jilted the FAC board like a Hollywood actor looking for a new lover.
Meanwhile, it's surprising to hear some locals, the same people who so ardently want more of the city's residents to support the Springs art scene in every way, giving De Marsche a free pass. Oh, this has been his history, they're saying. Finish the building and move on to the next challenge. We can't be too shocked.
That's bull. First, it's one thing to build an art museum at Auburn or Southern Miss, leaving behind the benefactors who still care about their schools.
It's totally different to come to Colorado Springs, to a facility and organization without taxpayer support (like a public university, for instance), raise nearly $30 million in part by convincing the donors to make their own long-term pledge of allegiance to the future of art in the Springs, and then renege on his personal responsibility to set an example with a commitment of his own.
De Marsche should be held to the same standard as anyone else involved with taking the FAC to new horizons. The expansion was just the first step. Now comes the truly rewarding part. And the president/CEO is off to frickin' Armenia. That's simply nauseating.
Also, it's condescendingly low and undiplomatic, and a slap in the FAC's face, for De Marsche to release his orgasmic (yes, orgasmic) going-away letter, saying it's his "greatest pleasure" to announce his new appointment in Armenia. So much for the afterglow of the FAC's Extremely Grand Opening. Turn out the lights, the party's over.
No "extreme regret" or "totally mixed emotions"?
In effect, he was saying something more like: "Hey, I honored you with my presence. I never said it was real. I never said I wanted to be buried here. I never made any promises. Adios."
It's too late now. De Marsche is gone, taking vacation time until his official departure of Sept. 1 the final snub to the organization and city that opened their arms to him.
Those Armenian drams (the currency there) obviously mean more to him than Colorado Springs ever did. And now the FAC must rebound quickly and find someone who truly cares, who can repair the damage, who can reach out to members and nonmembers alike, who can come here and stay long enough to become everything that Michael De Marsche wasn't.
That person will have to deal with a lot of skepticism and wariness from people who feel burned now. Hopefully the FAC board can find the right replacement and move on from here.
But the scars won't heal for a long, long time.

Boulder police on Friday morning arrested a man they say assaulted two officers following a foot chase.
Police spokeswoman Shannon Cordingly said that police were dispatched to the area of Broadway and Spruce Street on a report of a man attempted to access a locked basement.
When officers arrived, the man ran away, but police caught up with him near Broadway and High Street, Cordingly said.
"The man physically assaulted two officers who are now being treated for minor injuries," she said at about 11 a.m.
She said a Taser was used during the altercation.
Cordingly said the man, who she did not identify, is a transient and was being booked on suspicion of second-degree assault on a police officer, trespassing, obstruction and resisting arrest.

… You make us so comfortable when you stick around.
A little while ago, we wrote a piece called "Free Agent Nation?" covering what we perceive as the impending exodus of talent from corporations.
Before we extemporize, quantify, clarify and obfuscate, we formally want to tip the hat to Daniel Pink who wrote about the subject in Fast Company and more recently in his book – we haven't read the book yet, but will be doing so in the near future. Despite our uncanny ability to resell work we've previously done, and repackage others' intellectual property with a facade of our own creation, we absolutely, totally do not steal from our bretheren – we didn't coin the term Free Agent Nation
[though we did add the question mark]
and want to recommend you read the original article now – it was somewhere in our subconscious as we brought a lot of ideas together over the past few weeks.
OK. That's over – phew!
Pretty transparent, right? Our owning up to an unwitting terminology 'borrow'. Not for us the game of "that's not fair, we didn't know about it" – no, here at BadConsultant towers, we tell it like it is
[especially at http://www.jobinions.com – have you left a jobinion yet?]
regardless of whether it places us in positions of jeopardy.
Would that the rest of the world would do that.
Instead, we are fed a litany of excuses, blame rants, whining, whingeing, bellyaching, caviling, criticizing, deprecation, disparagement, fault-finding, griping, grouching, grousing, grumbling, kvetching, moaning, nagging, niggling, nit-picking, overcriticizing, quibbling, scathing… Well, you get the picture, right?
Through our multi-variant, cross-referential, do-loop, mega-meta-analysis of conventional wisdom-sapping framework complexes, we've identified that for the majority of your workforce, victimhood is a comfortable bed-fellow. For them, it's all your fault; your fault that…
- they didn't hit their targets
- their ideas aren't strong enough to move forward
- there's in-fighting within the team
- they aren't able to develop the skills the business needs tomorrow
They'll whine and complain
[and all those other words we cribbed from an online thesau… er… erm… our knowledge management database]
about all of it. Only they won't do it to your face. They'll do it in a bar, in a cubicle, in the park… Anywhere but where they need to do it: In the moment, at work, with you and the team.
To them it's all your fault.
And guess what? They're totally and utterly correct. It is. Because, when it comes to bringing people to a highly engaged state, it's highly, highly unlikely that your own leadership is telling you it's what's expected – so the only reason you'll do it is because you naturally believe it's the right thing to do and have the capability to do it. There aren't that many of you – and it's highly unlikely you hear the whining nearly as much as others do.
For the rest of you managers, though, you are in complicity with the victims you manage – human beings perpetuate the status quo
[here we go-oh… Rockin' all over the world! Cue Americans going "huh?!!!"]
no matter how painful. Put simply, you are comfortable managing victims.
We're going to let that sink in.
You are comfortable managing victims.
Why? Well, if you do it like you did it yesterday, no-one can hold you accountable for today's poor results; today's failure was perfectly acceptable yesterday. So, why change anything?
We'll be back soon to answer the question.
έως ότου συναντιόμαστε πάλι

Milwaukee County: April passenger numbers soar to 20th straight record month; Mitchell International jumps up 11 places in national passenger ranking
Contact: Jeff Bentoff
MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele today announced that April was the 20th straight month of record passenger numbers at General Mitchell International Airport. The total of 844,453 passengers is a 1.42% increase over April 2010. Airport Council International's newly released final passenger rankings for 2010 show that Mitchell jumped up 11 places, making it the 34th largest U.S. airport, surpassing airports such as Cleveland; Raleigh-Durham; Nashville; Sacramento; Austin; San Jose and Pittsburgh.
"The economies of Milwaukee County and southeastern Wisconsin benefit from this remarkable growth curve that began in fall 2009," Abele said. "Strong nonstop service with fares among the nation's lowest draws business, conventions and vacationers to our beautiful community. That brings in revenue, and revenue in turn supports and creates jobs for Milwaukee County and area residents."
Airport Director Barry Bateman said, "Our Wisconsin and northern Illinois customer base grows each month as passengers discover that Milwaukee is the lowest-fare airport in the region."
Market Data: U.S. Department of Transportation data for 4th Quarter 2010 (most recent) show that the average airfare out of Milwaukee dropped lower than the average at 93 other U.S. airports. Mitchell's average fare was $98 less than O'Hare's, $78 less than the nation's average and $16 less than Midway's.
Mitchell ranked among the top 30 fastest-growing airports in the world in 2010, according to Airports Council International.
With 56 markets, Mitchell has moved up to 28th among U.S. airports in number of markets served nonstop, according to data published by the Brookings Institute. The ranking means that more nonstop markets are served out of Milwaukee than out of other Midwestern cities, such as Kansas City; Nashville; Pittsburgh; Indianapolis and Columbus, and out of medium-sized cities elsewhere in the U.S., including Portland, OR; Austin; New Orleans; San Diego; Raleigh/Durham; Albuquerque; San Antonio and Hartford, CT.
General Mitchell International Airport is owned by Milwaukee County and operated by the Department of Transportation & Public Works, Airport Division, under the policy direction of the Milwaukee County Executive and the County Board of Supervisors. The airport is entirely funded by user fees; no property tax dollars are used for the airport's capital improvements or for its day-to-day operation.

This weekend was one of the most challenging weekends to get through, in my more recent days. The day Sephora was born was definitely scary. I was so sick…my husband tells me I was actually dying. Sephora was being taken from us 8 weeks earlier than we'd planned for. It was a whirlwind of a day filled with intense stress, fear, excitement, sadness, and anticipation. After we'd been told they were giving me a c-section, so Sephora had a chance to survive for a few minutes, we just held each other and cried. Our friends and family that were with us that day left the room, but all did the exact same thing. They circled the room and prayed for anything that they thought we may have needed for comfort.
Sephora's birth was extremely overwhelming. Diana, a Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep photographer, joined us in the OR to capture every moment of her life outside of my body. When Sephora was born, they took her to the warming table to quickly warm her up, dry her off, and administer a little oxygen. When the oxygen didn't work, (she was still very blue), my husband carried her over to me and placed her on my chest so I could experience a few seconds with her alive. After saying hello and kissing her forehead, I did exactly what I did to comfort her every single day while I was pregnant. I sang to her.
Sephora's baby brother was born 9 days before her 1st birthday (2013.) We walked through "Sephora's Garden" and celebrated with a few friends who decided to come over. It was small, quiet, and peaceful…just like her.
For Sephora's 2nd birthday, we enjoyed the beautiful day as a family. We didn't do too much actually. I'm not certain why this birthday was so much more emotionally difficult than her first. May it is because many people have moved on. Most have forgotten about her, or don't talk about her as much as before. Why should I expect anyone to remember? She isn't here anymore. That's just it though!! She isn't physically here. Those who weren't in the thick of the experience with us are busy remembering dates for their own children. …and that's ok! I wish more people talked about her. I wish more people remembered. I wish her story impacted more lives. Maybe one day it will. Until then…I'll keep talking about her, looking for little signs that her spirit still surrounds us, and wishing she was still on earth with us.

Volume discounts
discounts for adding items to your order
There's nothing quite like a classic, and the Original 8 Dong from Doc Johnson is a toy that has earned a top spot among their expansive range of dildos. Updated with a premium silicone material and complete with the proper attachments to fit with the wildly popular Vac-U-Lock collection, the Platinum version of The Original 8 Inch Dong gives you all new ways to play.
As good as the original The Original, this version has everything that made its predecessor such a popular toy box staple. A full shape, intensely deep ridges, and an oversized head pair with a dreamily thick girth and ample length to play with. It's pure pleasure to play with this dong in your hand and in between your legs, but its new and improved design offers the opportunity for so much more.
With the Vac-U-Loc attachment fit discreetly into the underside of the base it can be snapped on instantly to any Vac-U-Lock plug. Place it onto one of the many available harnesses, balls, or handles, and enjoy more satisfying penetration that reaches deep and at new angles.
The improved material is pure silicone and a special high-level variety too that maintains its structural integrity over long periods of time. When used with water-based lubrications it feels extra slick and can even be sterilised, an important factor for any intimately used toy. The silicone has a distinctly soft feel that is gentle on skin and even hypoallergenic so it won't irritate your sensitive genital area.
I wanted to get a newer toy for our play and I had heard a ton about the new vac-u-lock dildos. I think it's great how it works with that and in a regular O-ring strap on harness. It give a good amount of variety all wrapped up in one great big dick. I can feel the quality every time I use it. The silicone holds up and gives the perfect shape and feel. This is very realistic and has the length I wanted for real deep penetration. The texture on the shaft really gets me off. If you're looking for a versatile dildo to have around that will really last over time, this one will pit a smile on your face guaranteed

Ukraine Authorities Clash With Activists in Kiev's Independence Square
Tensions in Capital Come as pro-Russian Stronghold Donetsk Suffers Heaviest Bombardment to Date
Ukrainian authorities confronted lingering occupants of the protest camp on Kiev's Independence Square in the latest in a series of unsuccessful attempts to clear it, resulting in a plume of black smoke from activists lighting tire barricades on fire.
The commotion in Kiev came as central Donetsk, the eastern city that has become the stronghold of pro-Russia insurgents, suffered its heaviest bombardment to date. Several artillery shells, most likely from Ukrainian forces, hit a hospital and residential building on Thursday,...

NIMD has embarked on a new project, which aims to promote the political participation of women and young people in Tanzania by improving the management and functioning of political parties.
The project, which is funded by the European Union, was launched during celebrations of Europe Day in the Tanzanian Parliament on 10 May. The Head of Delegation of the European Union to Tanzania and the East African Community, H.E. Roeland van de Geer, together with representatives of civil society organizations and in the presence of a delegation of Members of the European Parliament, presented the project alongside three other new EU-funded projects which also focus on increasing inclusive participation in political systems in Tanzania.
'Women and youth represent the great majority of the world's population. Their full participation is crucial to an open and democratic society, including in Europe.' H.E. Roeland van de Geer
The new project
Through the project, NIMD and its partner, the Tanzania Center of Democracy (TDC), aim to increase levels of political participation among women and young people by improving the management and functioning of political parties.
NIMD and TCD target political parties that have representation in local councils through a number of training initiatives, including cross-party workshops; tailor-made technical assistance for political parties; comprehensive leadership training courses for women and youth in political parties; and capacity building courses for women and youth councillors.
More on the project's approach and ambitions here.
"If political parties can fully embrace and put into practice the call for inclusiveness, a significant positive difference can be made". Augustine Magolowondo Africa Regional Representative, NIMD

However sometimes, the back button is used for navigation and we want to keep the state, not to roll it back. In the previous example of the shop, the cart is passed as a parameter. That may be tedious if the flow is complicated. To solve these two problems, I created getSessionData and setSessionData. which stores and retrieves user-defined data in the session, by means of a map indexed by data type. In this way the user don´t need to pass its application data by parameters, neither it need to embed its own state monad. But also, the programmer when pressing back, can choose to backtrack to previous state values or not, depending on the nature of the flow.
This session data works in the Flow monad as well as the View monad. That means that it can be used in both sides of ask. Since when backtracking the only code executed is the View monadic code behind ask, getSessionData, when it is in View monad, will retrieve the last state no matter if it is on backtracking. This is the way to keep the user-defined state actualized to the last value when backtracking.
In the example below, the shopping cart is stored as session data. In the ask statement that show the shopping cart, getSessionData is used in the View monad (in bold), so when backtracking the code will get the last shopping cart, so no roll-back effect will appear and the back button can be used for navigation purposes. Here is a loop with an alternance between buying from the catalog and showing the shopping cart. The loop, and the navigation can be executed forward, by pressing the links, and backward, by means of the back button. The result is the same.
If getSessionData is not in the View monad, and the cart variable in scope is used, then this variable will keep its value that it had at each moment of the loop, so when going back we will see fewer and fewer items in the shopping cart.
Here step is used, so the state is persistent. setTimeouts will kill the process after two minutes. After one month, if the user has not returned, the state will be erased and the shopping cart will be empty. This is the complete program:
module Main where
import MFlow.Wai.Blaze.Html.All
import Data.Typeable
import Data.String(fromString)
import qualified Data.Vector as V
main= do
addMessageFlows [("", runFlow $ shop ["iphone","ipad","ipod"])]

Is Merck Winning or Losing in the Vioxx Trials?
(FORTUNE Magazine) - The lawsuits over its anti-inflammatory drug Vioxx keep piling up. So far, Merck has faced six plaintiffs claiming cardiovascular damage and prevailed against three--that leaves 11,500 cases to go.
1. Merck just had a $32 million judgment against it in Texas. Isn't that a bad loss? Not really. Under Texas law the punitive damages will get reduced to $7.75 million, and Starr County, Texas, is notoriously plaintiff-friendly. Merck plans to appeal the decision along with its two other losses.
2. Is the fight-every-plaintiff strategy really working? Yes. That Merck's lawyers have won three times indicates that jurors are willing to listen. Eventually Merck will settle. In the meantime, the drugmaker is betting that its steely resolve will scare off plaintiffs who are pursuing frivolous claims.
3. Why not settle now? Merck needs to determine what dollar value jurors put on valid claims and how they weed out plaintiffs whose heart attacks they believe weren't caused by Vioxx. That'll help narrow the field of plaintiffs and arrive at a reasonable per-plaintiff award. But no settlement will happen until the statute of limitations expires in most states on Oct.1.
4. How much will this cost Merck? Experts estimate that the trials have so far cost roughly $70 million each in fees and damages. Most analysts place Merck's ultimate liability for Vioxx at around $10 billion, but that's a manageable figure considering Merck's large cash reserves.

Having struck gold at the box office in India and abroad with Rajnikanth starrer Sivaji: The Boss, AVM Productions is trying to work out another foreign release in Malay and Chinese as dubbed versions.
But, playing it safe, S C Babu, CEO, AVM Productions insists that it is too early to make an announcement as the talks with foreign counterparts are still in early stages.
The movie is likely to be screened at the Tokyo International Film Festival in the first week of October and discussions are on to release the film in Japan with Japanese subtitles.
Rajnikanth has a strong fan base in Japan and the demand is backed by local fan following and not just Indians living in Japan.
According to Babu, the universal appeal of the music scored by A R Rahman along with the strong visual attraction (all those stunning sets created by Thota Tharani) are strong drivers for the demand for this movie in foreign countries.
The background score for the movie was recorded in Prague, Czech Republic, using local musicians by an American music conductor.
Sivaji has already been released in Malaysia in its original form (Tamil) and it has created history by beating the highest Malay grosser in the country.
Back home, the movie will complete its 100 days on September 23.
"The estimates of box office collections so far would be available only by the end of the month, " says Babu.
Rough estimates reported in the media so far range between Rs 200-450 crore, a number that the production house insists is inaccurate.
The dubbed Hindi version of the movie is also under production.
"Though there have been rumours about a Diwali release, we feel the festival would not be the right time for the release of the Hindi version. The reason being that the deadline is too short and also, we would look at a less competitive timing for the release. After all, the original Tamil version has already been released and tasted great success in the so-called northern markets," says Babu.
Sivaji has been a great success in markets like Julandhar, Lucknow and Jaipur apart from metropolitan cities like Mumbai and Delhi.
For the Hindi dubbed version, certain parts of the movie will need to be reshot to make it relevant to the Hindi audience. Mumbai writer and lyricist Swanand Kirkire, who wrote the dialogues for movies like Eklavya and Chameli, is writing the Hindi version of Sivaji).
The television rights for the movie were recently bought by Kalaignar TV -- the yet to be launched DMK party backed TV Channel -- for an undisclosed price.
While Babu refused to discuss the subject, industry sources said that the TV rights have been sold for Rs 3-4 crore. Under the contract, the buyers reportedly cannot broadcast movie for three years.
Despite tight controls over the prints, Sivaji has already become a victim among movie pirates.
"As long as the film is in the analog version, there is very little we can do to control piracy. With 800 prints in circulation, curbing piracy is a logistic nightmare," says Babu.

What to see in Kunming
Kunming Attractions
It is easy to see why this relatively small Chinese city attracts so many visitors every year; the tourist attractions in Kunming are impressive and varied. Although parts of the city are industrial and unattractive, Kunming is special because of its unique setting among dramatic limestone hills.
Jiuxiang Scenic Area tops many travel itineraries in Kunming because it is so packed with natural phenomena that it could easily occupy visitors for a whole day or more. Jiuxiang has a magical subterranean world made up of more than 100 caves, as well as cliff paintings that date back to the Qin and Han dynasties. It also has several waterfalls and 'stone forests': striking limestone formations eroded over centuries to look like frozen trees. To see the most impressive example of these rather eerie formations visit the Stone Forest of Shilin, a must-see for anyone travelling in the Kunming area. The unique rock formations at Shilin are thought to be over 270 million years old.
If you have time for an excursion from Kunming, and want a travel experience off the beaten track, then head out into the Dongchuan Red Land, in Huashitou Country. Although the lack of infrastructure in the area can make travel less comfortable, the landscapes are unspoiled, colourful and startlingly beautiful; many of the visitors to the area are photographers.
Although it may seem as though all the attractions in the city are in fact just outside of it, there are plenty of things to see and do within Kunming. Green Lake is a popular park and lakeside area for relaxation, exercise and leisurely strolls. And Yuantong Temple is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Kunming: it is an active Buddhist temple with a history spanning 1,200 years and an unusual, picturesque layout. There are also abundant malls, cinemas, shopping streets and entertainment complexes to keep everybody amused.

With all the hype around matte liquid lipsticks that seems to be everywhere right now I thought I would share with you some my most treasured moisturising lip products in my collection. Now I am not hating or bashing matte lip products in any way I have quite a few Nyx Matte Lip Cream in my collection which I really like.
First of I have a Max Factor Lipstick in the shade Sun Bronze 837 which is a gorgeous mauve shade which has very subtle sparkles in and leaves my lips with a glossy hydrating finish. Another brand of lipsticks which are perfect when my lips are having a dry spell are the Bodyshop Lipstick which don't have a name which is very annoying. I have the shade 11, which I haven't used used yet if I am honest because it is a very little shade compared to my skin tone, and the shade 13 which is again my favourite shade of mauve. It is really moisturising on the lips and like the Max Factor lipstick leaves a nice glossy finish on the lips.
A group of lipsticks that I have talked about some many times on this blog are the Clinique Colour Pop lipsticks which I bloody love to bits. They are super moisturising and the colours look lovely on the lips, these are great lip products for the summer when your lips need a little TLC but you also want a popping colour on the lips.
My last lip stash that I absolutely love to give my lips some moisture on a day to day basis are the Rimmel Moisture Renew and Sheer and Shine formulas. I know everyone is going crazy for the new Rimmel Matte Lipsticks right now but these will always be my all time favourite Rimmel Lip products. These are so glossy and balm like that you feel like you you aren't even wearing a lipstick on your lips. The best thing about these lip products? They are glossy and luxurious on the lips but don't lack in colour and pigment. I find with some moisturising lip products that they run of your lips or rub on a glass or when your eat. The colour of these lipsticks is really pigmented and lasts a lot longer than other lipsticks.

Regular exercise has been shown to decrease the risk for multiple diseases, including coronary heart disease, hypertension, osteoporosis, obesity, depression, and some reproductive cancers. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion have emphasized that as the population ages (with women comprising the majority of the elderly), physical activity and fitness must be viewed as a health goal priority.
Additionally, studies have demonstrated that girls who play high school sports are less likely to have an unwanted pregnancy or use drugs, are more likely to graduate from high school and have lower levels of depression. Clearly, encouraging an active life-style among women is critical to the long-term health of our country.
Although many aspects of physical activity are similar in both male and female populations, some issues require special consideration in the female athlete.
Current knowledge suggests that most injuries sustained by athletes are sport-specific rather than gender-specific (see Chapter 22). However, several orthopedic issues of special concern in the female athlete deserve specific mention.
Achieving fitness through moderate exercise has been linked to lower risks of heart disease, hypertension, cancer, depression, and osteoporosis---diseases that affect both women and men. General guidelines suggest that both women and men should be evaluated by a physician before embarking on an exercise program, especially after age 40. Although most medical considerations in the athlete are not gender-specific, a few issues are of special concern to those caring for the female athlete.
Good nutrition is essential to athletic performance, and the basics of good nutrition are not gender-dependent. However, female athletes need to pay particular attention to a few special considerations.

Target and TOMS are teaming up this holiday season on a collection with numerous gift options for yourself or to help others in need as well as polish both of their tarnished images. Their "do-gooding partnership" will include traditional TOMS footwear, apparel and home goods. The special, limited-edition holiday line will debut Sunday, Nov. 16, at Target and online.
TOMS has built its reputation on donating goods to the needy for each purchase made of their products. Target has had other collaborative initiatives that supporting food banks and other charities, and also donates a percentage of store projects to local schools.
Following suit, Target will donate a blanket, meals or shoes (depending on the item) for each item purchased from the TOMS for Target collection to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief, Canadian Red Cross Disaster Relief, Feeding America and Food Banks Canada. "Target has existing partnerships with these charities," commented TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie. "It was a natural fit." According to the companies, they expect the holiday shopping (and giving) initiative to provide at least 11 million items or meals for those in need.
That sense of giving and making purchases that benefit others will undoubtedly inspire some sales. But, the fact that the approximately 50 items for men, women, children and the home are attractive and all priced below $50 will certainly help the products move quickly.
TOMS built its brand through their basic canvas shoes (and now eyeglasses) and their "One for One" commitment to provide a needy child with a pair for every pair it sells. The Target version of the TOMS line includes their iconic slip-on shoes in new fabrics for men, women and children ($32-38 for children and $48 for adults). But, it also includes a number of new products. "Every item from the collection is unique to the collaboration and was created special for Target," according to Mycoskie. "The collection also includes a number of products we have never sold before, including blankets and picture frames."
For women, the clothing items include a cozy gray poncho for $28 and an off-white denim jacket for $40. For men, there is a blue denim shirt for $30 and a navy anorak jacket for $40. Adult T-shirts are $16 and shoes $48. For children, there is a hoodie for $22 and a beanie for $10. Other household items include a journal/pen set for $18 and fringe throws for $30.
Both companies have a lot invested in the deal. Target is trying to repair its tarnished reputation from a massive data breach of customer credit information that made the last holiday season bah-humbug. The company had to resort to discounts on everything in the store mid-December to draw in shoppers. Target's CEO Brian Cornell summed it up for 14,000 employees gathered for the company's annual meeting, "We need to be cool again."
TOMS is trying to show they are still cool, too. The company had a hip, socially conscious reputation, and has provided 35 million pairs of shoes to children in 60 countries. However, TOMS sold 50 percent interest in itself to Bain Capital earlier this year. Bain is the private-equity company co-founded by Mitt Romney. The deal reportedly netted TOMS about $625 million. While Bain promised to continue the One for One charitable efforts, the sale has spawned accusations of selling out.
While it remains to be seen what impact the TOMS deal will have and if Target is back on track, their teaming up this holiday season will surely help others and polish both firms' images. And, as Mycoskie put it, every purchase from the collection will "do good, providing nourishment, warmth and shoes" for someone in need.

Focused on providing OEMs, resellers and end users with a single source for all of the DVD formats, Verbatim Corporation announced today that it will be shipping DataLifePlus 4.7GB DVD+RW media in the Fall of this year. Delivery of the new discs will coincide with the availability of the new DVD+RW drives which are being showcased during TECHXNY/PC Expo at the Javits Convention Center this week.
Designed to provide broad backward read compatibility with current and future DVD-ROM drives and DVD-Video players, Verbatim ReWritable DVD+RW media will be used by consumers for both audio/video and data storage applications.
"The DVD+RW specification provides a smooth migration from CD technology to DVD technology while preserving customer investments in existing CD and DVD-ROM products," said Tim Clatterbuck, Verbatimis director of optical storage marketing. "As one of the first to offer 4.7GB DVD+RW media, Verbatim marks a major milestone in two-way compatibility between PCs and consumer entertainment devices. People will be able to use the same disc in their PC as they use in their set-top DVD players."
For PC applications, the DVD+RW format uses CAV (constant angular velocity) recording, which means the disc rotates at a constant speed during recording to provide fast, random-access reading of the disc. In addition, the technology incorporates extensive defect management to ensure that data is accurately written to and read from the disc.
For video applications, the DVD+RW format uses advanced ?lossless linking? technology which allows the use of variable bit rate recording for longer playback. Verbatimis DVD+RW media will also simplify the task of combining digital video and digital data in multimedia applications. Because DVD+RW incorporates multi-session writing technology, users can quickly add documents, data and video segments without having to constantly open and close write sessions.
Offering more than seven times the storage capacity of CD media, Verbatim 4.7GB DVD+RW discs will store up to two hours of high-quality (MPEG-2) video or four hours of MPEG-1 video. With the ability to provide more than 1,000 overwrites and a data life of more than 100 years, Verbatim DVD+RW discs are also cost-effective for data backup, Web downloads, and video editing.
Verbatim and its parent company, Mitsubishi Chemical Company (MCC), are active members of the group of companies that developed the DVD+RW format. The format established the specifications for recorded and unrecorded signals, ensuring optimum data playback across all popular DVD playback devices.
A single-sided DataLifePlus 4.7GB DVD+RW disk is expected to retail for US$20. You can find more information at the Verbatim Web site.

Tom Hardy in talks for Suicide Squad
- Bang Showbiz
- 17 October 2014
Warner Bros. are reportedly in discussions with Tom Hardy, Ryan Gosling, Will Smith and Margot Robbie for lead roles in new DC Comics movie 'Suicide Squad'
Tom Hardy, Ryan Gosling and Will Smith are close to signing on for new superhero movie 'Suicide Squad', according to reports.
The trio of actors are in negotiations with Warner Bros. about lead roles in the DC Comics adventure as well as actress Margot Robbie.
According to Deadline, early talks have gone well and the four stars are keen to sign up for the blockbuster, which is scheduled to be the next DC release after 2016's 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'.
The project will be directed by David Ayer and is scheduled for a mid-to-late 2016 release.
The Suicide Squad - who first appeared in DC Comics in 1959 - is comprised of imprisoned supervillains who are used covertly by the US government for black-op missions in return for pardoned prison sentences.
The line-up of the team changed on the comics throughout the years but notable members have included Deadshot, King Shark, Black Manta, Harley Quinn and Deathstroke.
The casting news follows the announcement of several new DC films this week.
Gal Gadot is to star in a solo 'Wonder Woman' movie, following her debut in the role in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice', Ezra Miller is to bring 'The Flash' to life on the big screen, while Jason Momoa will portray 'Aquaman' - who will also appear with Batman and Superman in the 2016 blockbuster - in a title film.

Directed by Chris Hewitt, 'To Live And Let Die In Grantham' has been visualised as a "rave ritual" shot at the Bel Air Chalet Estate in Seawick, Essex. The track appears on 'Flame Rave' also released this week.
Watch the film via VEVO or YouTube.
'Flame Rave' is out now and follows the 2014 album 'Clark'.
Bleep • iTunes • Amazon • Google Play
"The track is a banger. It reminds me of my old rave days. Its also the perfect piece of music to convey different energy states through imagery and action. The fierce first half is all about energy and aggression whereas the latter half is about euphoria and transcendence.
It got me thinking about the archaic, almost tribal nature of a nightclub and how best to tie this into the track. Even though I believe we're about to see a resurgence in archaic revival, I think as people we've kind of lost a lot of the traditions in what make us human. The rights of passage is a big one for me.
The Natives would send out their teenage tribe members into the wilderness. They'd have to fend for themselves over days, alone, without shelter and food, constantly being stalked by the animal kingdom. This ritual would instil patience, self reliance and a centre mind, qualities that would develop you as human being in all the positive ways.
The film for Clark is a modern take on that ritual, maybe a twisted take on it."

by Punchy » Wed Aug 21, 2013 1:12 pmOut of all of Marvel's vast array of characters, Daredevil is probably the most 'street-level' of them all. Even someone like The Punisher gets turned into a Frankenstein or becomes 'Space Punisher' every once in a while, but apart from the 5 minutes he became an Avenger, Matt Murdock stays pretty far away from the more cosmic side of the Marvel Universe. But not anymore! Mark Waid has slowly moved Daredevil more and more into the bright, superhero world, and this issue really takes things to the extreme as Daredevil comes face to face with the goddamn Silver Surfer. Even though these two characters exist in the same universe, they've never met before, and occupy completely different spheres, so it was a hell of a lot of fun to see them interact, and Waid, the master of looking at continuity and characters in new ways that he is, finds a way to really make it work.
The actual plot of Ru'Ach the evil alien is fairly unimportant here, what's important is getting to see Daredevil fly around on the Surfer's board, which is just a sheer fanboyish delight. I also loved how Waid and Samnee explored how Surfer saw the world, so much of this book has been about showing how Daredevil views things differently, and here, we got that for another character, which was very cool. It was also great how Surfer, even with 'The Power Cosmic' couldn't see Ru'Ach, but Daredevil could.
Speaking of Samnee, it was fantastic to have him back on art duties here, he's so damn good, he really deserves that Eisner, and more besides. He meshes perfectly with the tone that Waid uses here, and every panel looks great. He also draws an awesome Silver Surfer. If he ever leaves Daredevil (god forbid, but it will happen eventually), I'd love to see him do a Surfer book, he's great at the street-level stuff here, but imagine Samnee cutting loose in space? Wow.
I never thought I'd see a team-up between Daredevil and Silver Surfer, but I have now, and I'm glad I did, it's crazy that these two characters can interact, but that's what's so great about the Marvel Universe (and the DC one too I suppose), you've got all kinds of genres and settings all in one, you can do anything, and with upcoming issues set to feature the a load of Marvel's horror characters, it looks like Waid and Samnee are really doing that.
There's also some continuing subplot stuff here, with Kirsten McDuffie replacing Foggy, which should be interesting, but the main thing at play with this issue is seeing two completely different worlds collide, and two masterful creators making it work.
by Cas » Wed Aug 21, 2013 2:23 pmThis isn't the Silver Surfers fist foray into a DD comic:
http://themattmurdockchronicles.blogspo ... l-282.html
Although the last time he was in the comic it was during a pretty awful run with pretty awful art and a worse story. It's unbelievable how bad it was then.
by chap22 » Wed Aug 21, 2013 2:42 pm
1. true, Surfer did appear therein, but he and matt didn't exactly interact in that issue as they do here
2. madness. that Nocenti run was fantastic, that whole DD/Inhumans/Number Nine/Mephisto/Blackheart "DD in Hell" mega-storyline was great, and that was back when JRJr still had some craft in his work. I fucking loved that era.
by chap22 » Wed Aug 21, 2013 2:43 pmand back on-topic, this issue was great. the whole "I'll' drive" extended scene was glorious. another 5-star winner from Waid and Samnee.
by chap22 » Wed Aug 21, 2013 3:04 pm
ha! hard to pick a "least favorite," but there are several I don't like:
Chichester post-the Owl story in 301-303
and despite normally being a HUGE fan of the writer, DeMatteis's short run between Chichester & Kesel didn't do much for me either
to each their own, indeed, b/c that's the kind of stuff I absolutely LOVE about Waid's run. it's just nice to see DD get to enjoy some of the craziness in his life from time to time, and Waid and Samnee are masters at expressing just how much FUN some of the stuff Matt does can be; i'm sure bad stuff is just around the corner (it always is in this book), but the issues like this which juxtapose it with the lighter swashbuckle-y stuff are what make that bad stuff that much more meaningful and powerful. at least IMMO
by Cas » Wed Aug 21, 2013 3:40 pm
There's a surprise! I doubt there's a more lauded modern run in comics. Even today people call it one of THE best work he's ever done. Amazing. If I may, what didn't you like about it?
Me, too, for sure, but to begin with I wasn't too comfortable with such a grounded character as DD sharing panel space with an an alien, particularly a silver fleshed one who rides round the universe on a surf board. For me, DD can only be so light and fun before it becomes a veritable cartoon for children and this issue was exactly that. Save for the awesome scene where DD threw the SS and himself out the window and their little tussle as they fell, mind you. That was really cool and shows how fearless DD is to attack a cosmic being who can best Thor in a fight. Loved that.
by chap22 » Wed Aug 21, 2013 4:16 pm
damn near everything. first of all, beyond anything Bendis did or didn't do, I hate Alex Maleev's artwork on superhero books. hate hate HATE it. I can't even begin to put words to how badly I hate it. so that was a huge knock against it there.
then moving on to the actual writing, I felt it really brought out all of Bendis's worst tics...ridiculous decompression to the point of padding, including: repetitive language, replaying the same scene over and over, 12-panel pages with all static talking heads, "--the hell?"...all that crap before he reined it in. I also hated Milla...didn't like the character and felt her whole introduction was ham-handed, clumsy, and unnecessary. and then beyond that...
my opinions on a good DD run are that it should include the following (and for argument's sake, i'll contrast Bendis's run with Waid's on these points, but I could use others too):
without those things, you lose sight of what makes Matt a unique HERO at Marvel. you take away the law, you take away the senses, and you take away the light and just make him this crazy, thuggish glutton for punishment and you end up with Moon Knight sans cape. that's not a Daredevil book I want to read, but as you said, to each their own, and I know most people love it. I just don't. at all.
i had other problems with it too, but those were my primary highlights.
by ElijahSnowFan » Wed Aug 21, 2013 4:24 pmAs always, thanks for the review(s), Punch!
Enjoying reading this thread, because as of now, I have all issues of this run of Daredevil...but have only read one.
Because I'm going to read them all in one sitting, because I've liked what I've heard about this series. I realize that sounds crazy/counterintuitive, but I so despise the Dark Dark Dark Dark Daredevil interpretation, I realize that what Waid is doing just might be the last time I read the character in a way that I prefer, so I'm going to savor it with no interruptions.
by ElijahSnowFan » Wed Aug 21, 2013 4:30 pm
Yep. All of this. Every single bit of this.
I get it: There's an entire generation of Daredevil fans who aren't familiar with the character when he hasn't been the subject of, as Chap said, "torture porn." And I realize that since that is the case, there really isn't going to be any putting that back in the bottle.
But the last time I tried to read Daredevil, truly tried, was Brubaker's run. When he had Murdock just get effed over in every single way possible by Mister Fear, I was just beaten down. I didn't have anything left for Andy Diggle's run, and by the time Shadowland rolled around, I actually wanted Matt Murdock to die so creators would just stop trying to find ways to make the character the worst superhero ever.
So, yeah. I'm going to enjoy this Waid run, when it's done. Because I do realize it might be the last time Matt Murdock gets a run like it.

hell, I felt like Bru's run was happy happy joy joy compared to Bendis's.

Have at it! You have a damn good time ahead!
Oh, do you have the tie-ins to the Devil In The Detail two parter with Spidey and The Omega Effect crossover with said web head and Punisher?

HA! Talk about a low bridge to clear!
I always kinda wonder what would've happened if Frank Miller wouldn't have came back to do "Born Again." Daredevil was in a funky place at that time, due to Denny O'Neil really having an uneven time trying to follow one of the greatest runs of anything this line of work has ever produced, but Miller had really left Daredevil in not a horrible place after his first run, with Elektra resurrected and Matt having purged her spirit.
It's just...I wonder what Daredevil would have been like if Miller hadn't pretty much destroyed Matt Murdock in "Born Again," if a run like Waid's would've taken place instead.

I'll have to snag those off Comixology -- just for the hell of it and me being lazy, do you think you could tell me the titles/issues I'm looking for?
by chap22 » Wed Aug 21, 2013 4:50 pm
an interesting question, although i'd argue Miller didn't even "destroy" Matt in BA...almost the opposite. he gave him his one true love back in Karen, he gave him family in discovering his mother, he gave him his faith back, he gave him a home...flipping burgers in Hell's Kitchen and really becoming the neighborhood's Guardian Devil. it was a different Matt, yes, but not a destroyed one. more like one rebuilt through a crucible. I always liked that Miller found some way to take away his license, his best friend, his money, and revealed his secret ID to his greatest enemy, yet still gave him a happy ending. that to me is the real beauty of Born Again.

Towson-based Environmental Technologies Group Inc. said yesterday that it has won a $40 million contract from the Army to manufacture 6,400 monitors that detect the presence of nerve, blistering and choking agents used in chemical warfare.
"These chemical-agent monitors are now being used in Desert Storm and will be used in any future military contacts the U.S. becomes engaged in," said John Spelman, president and chief executive of Environmental Technologies.

The Bean Eaters
They eat beans mostly, this old yellow pair.
Dinner is a casual affair.
Plain chipware on a plain and creaking wood,

Two who are Mostly Good.
Two who have lived their day,
But keep on putting on their clothes
And putting things away.

Income tax refunds arrive faster when you file the return electronically and choose the direct deposit option. Accurate information and calculations on the tax return speed up the processing time, which also results in a faster refund.
Mistakes on the return, such as incorrect information, missing data, information entered on the wrong line or math errors, delay the processing of the return. This means a longer wait for the refund to arrive. Paper returns mailed to the Internal Revenue Service take up to six weeks of processing time, according to About.com. Electronic filing usually results in a refund in about three weeks. Filers who choose direct deposit receive funds directly to a bank account, which cuts out the wait time of receiving a mailed paper check.
The "Where's My Refund?" option on the IRS website offers a way to track your refund online. The IRS updates the information about once every 24 hours, so checking more than once per day doesn't give you different results. The tool requires you to enter your Social Security Number, filing status and the exact amount of your refund. Filers also have the option of calling (800) 829-1954 to reach the IRS Refund Hotline and provide the same information about the return. These tracking options do'nt speed up the refund, but they do give you an idea of when to expect the money.

Jimmy's sister Ranisha Jimmy said yesterday her mother was inconsolable after Jeff Nemeth, chief executive of Ford SA, told the family during a meeting, that new evidence suggested Reshall had committed suicide or had been murdered. He said a police officer who was at the scene said he saw a bullet hole in Reshall's skull.
Reshall died on December 4, 2015, after the Ford Kuga he was driving burst into flames. "My mom kept asking why they were saying Reshall committed suicide. I haven't seen my mom cry like that, not even at Rashell's funeral," Ranisha said.
She and Nemeth communicated for two months, with him saying he had a mandate from the international head office to settle the matter, only to turn around and make claims that Reshall did not die because of any fault with the car.
"The chief postmortem findings made by me were, the body is severely charred, no internal or discernible external injuries with no discernable evidence of a shooting. The blood is cherry red in colour and the trachea (wind pipe) is lined by a large amount of soot. Cause of death is therefore noted as severe charring," said Rod Montano as he read the coroner's report.
Montano, the Jimmy family's attorney, said the coroner had found no evidence of a bullet wound in the skull. This was confirmed by Dr David Klatzow, a forensic specialist the family hired to assist.
"We can take it with absolute certainty that there is no bullet hole in the skull," Klatzow said. He said during a postmortem one would pull back the skin around the head to reveal the skull to examine it, and the coroner found that there was no bullet wound in Reshall's skull.
The Jimmy family and their lawyer spoke to the media at a briefing at the National Press Club in Pretoria yesterday. They said Ford SA had offered them another vehicle of their choice within the brand up to R1 million, which they rejected.
"I'd want Ford to take responsibility and apologise for the suicide and murder allegations. Taking responsibility for me is key," the sister said.
Minesh Bhagaloo, product communications manager for Ford SA, said the company recognised how devastating Reshall's loss had been to the family. "Given the sensitive circumstances, and possible legal proceedings, we have nothing further to add."
Ford has been embroiled in a public relations nightmare since Reshall's death in the vehicle, and other reports of Kugas catching fire. In January, Ford SA recalled the 1.6-litre Ford Kuga model – 4556 Kugas, built between December 2012 and February 2014, were recalled.

"I will never stop loving you. I will love you forever" those were the last words he said to me. Hi I am Rosa and I dates the Harry styles until he decided we should break up because long distance relationships don't work. But before he left he told me he will always love me. I really miss him but no one besides my best friend Sofia and my sisters Jennifer and Taylor know that we dated and my parents of course. I know his family knows we dated because I met them. But I am kind of angry with him because he never bothered to call, text or even tweet me.

Searching for a commercial cleaning company to handle your VCT floor stripping and waxing, aka floor finishing?

We can do our work overnight or during the weekend. Munroe's Commercial Cleaning is a commercial floor stripping and floor finishing company that you can trust.
Floor Stripping Process
First thing we do is to remove all the furniture and obstacles from the work area. Then we set up the area by cordoning it off and setting up the proper wet floor or caution signs. We will also place mats at the exit area to prevent spreading stripping materials to other areas of the building. The floor is vacuumed to remove dirt and debris.
The next step is to prepare the stripping materials. We line the mop bucket with a plastic liner to contain the stripper and prevent it from entering the bucket area. Then we pour the stripping solution into the bucket. Our teams of cleaners are equipped with the required safety clothing such as protective boots, face masks, gloves and glasses.
Then we will apply the solution with a mop and let it sit for a couple of minutes to loosen the floor finish. It is important not to allow the floor stripper to dry. Then we use a floor buffer with a floor stripping pad. Our cleaners know the right techniques to ensure that all the floor area has been stripped. There are some areas that need to be passed several times to completely remove the old floor wax.
The next step is to rinse the floor with floor stripping neutralizer. The entire floor area must be rinsed after stripping the floor. It is important to neutralize the floor before applying new floor wax so that it will adhere properly. Then we rinse the floor with clean water to make sure all the stripping solution has been removed. Once the floor has been completely dry, we apple two to three coats of high-quality floor finish. The floor must be dried before placing back all the furniture and other stuff that were there before.
After our floor stripping and waxing services, cleaning and maintaining your floor will be much easier. Now you can have shiny, sparkling floor without the need to do a lot of work. Call us today to schedule a floor stripping and waxing appointment. We will also be happy to answer any of your questions with regards to our services.

How to Instantly Drive Traffic to Your Company's Website
Generating traffic for your company's website is one of the most influential factors to the success or failure of your online business. If you can't generate traffic, your website is doomed to die off rather quickly.
The Internet is full of websites that have failed due to a lack of qualified traffic. If you don't want this to happen to your small business, you should develop website traffic generation strategies and work hard to attain a steady flow of site visitors.
Here are four simple and highly effective ways to immediately drive more traffic to your company's website:
1. Use YouTube and Mainstream Video-Sharing Websites
Some of the mainstream video-sharing websites have evolved into major traffic centers over the last 2-3 years. YouTube, Metacafe, Google Video, Dailymotion, Revver, Yahoo! Video and Vimeo are some of the most effective platforms for users to upload, view and share videos.
While you can broadcast your message using all of these websites, you should definitely use YouTube — without exception. Not only is it one of the best video sharing sites on the web, the six-year-old company —has become the second-largest search engine in the world after Google. Simply put, its effectiveness is indisputable.
So, to immediately leverage the endless possibilities of YouTube, you should:
a. Create your own branded YouTube channel.
b. Develop original videos with a call to action and your website URL.
c. Upload your videos to your YouTube channel.
d. Tag your videos with targeted keywords.
e. Interlink your videos.
f. Optimize your YouTube channel using best-in-class SEO practices.
g. Locate other complimentary YouTube video content and comment on them.
h. Select your most popular videos and add a video response.

What Can I Wear With A Purple Cardigan?
The best that you can wear with a purple cardigan is anything that you can think of since purple cardigans are a versatile article of clothing that nicely complement almost everything. While purple is not at all a "guy's color" by any stretch of the imagination, at least wearing a purple cardigan may make other people think you are extra tough. After all, you're wearing a purple cardigan, for Pete's sake!
- Men's 'Quicksilver' Pack Rat Fedora Hat. The best thing that you can wear with a purple cardigan is a fedora hat because it immediately attends to your naked head, giving it something to wear to contrast your purple cardigan nicely. This particular fedora hat is a great beige color, which contrasts the girlish purple of your cardigan sweater handily. So the next time you want to bring just a touch of coolness as well as carefree ease to your look when you are wearing a cardigan, remember to stick a fedora hat on your head.
- 'Hurley' Phantom 60 Nuclear Board Short. Since you are already wearing a girlish color with your spiffy-looking purple cardigan, you may as well get in touch even further with your heretofore-suppressed, feminine side by putting on these sweet-looking board shorts. They are not totally pink per se, but they do feature mostly pink and some purple colors and shades, with just a touch of blue included to make sure that you still remember you are a guy, after all. In the summertime or during the spring, wearing a cardigan sweater over some board shorts is such a smart way of dressing.
- Men's 'Speedo' Surfwalker Pro All Purpose Water Shoe. If the weather is warm and you want to wear something that's just a little bit more durable and heavier than mere sandals, don this Surfwalker water shoe. It's not just for the beach or the pool–though that is its primary use. You can use it as an all-purpose shoe if you just want to go sockless for a change and let your feet breathe a little bit, especially if the weather permits. Along with your purple cardigan, wearing these water shoes will make you look on the cutting edge of fashion for sure.
