Fabric & Fit
What causes thigh chafing, anyway?
Thigh chafing/chaffing is a painful rash caused by sweat and friction when one's inner thighs rub together (skin on skin or against clothing). This irritation makes it hella impossible to wear dresses, skirts or pants - especially in hot and humid weather. Thigh chafing doesn't discriminate based on size, weight or gender. That means anyone with thighs can chafe under the right conditions. Period. It's a totally normal, albeit uncomfortable function of the human body, which is why there's no shame in our anti-chafing game!
Can I only wear Thigh Society slip shorts for chafe-prevention?
No chafing? No problem (and lucky you!). Our shorts have lots of other uses: they'll give you coverage under sheer fabric, and cover up spider veins, stretch marks, skin conditions and cellulite (which we're totally cool with showing off, but everyone has their hangups).
They'll also protect you from unexpected gusts of wind on your bicycle or crossing subway grates, and will keep your legs from sticking to hot park benches and leather car seats.
Wear them on your period because they won't press against a bloated tummy, or post surgery to protect from stitches or sensitive scarring since they don't pinch or bind.
They're also comfy for sleeping or just lounging around.
Can I only wear 'em under my skirts & dresses?
While they are definitely skirts & dresses' BFF, our slip shorts also make fast friends with any pair of bottoms with a dropped inseam (jumpers, rompers, scrubs, chef's whites, harem pants, sport shorts) where your thighs may be prone to touching. They'll also keep any unwanted sweat stains at bay.
Tell me the main differences between the Originals & Cooling
Here's the scoop: both fabrics will prevent thigh chafing by wicking sweat off your skin to keep you dry and comfortable. The major differences are in the sheerness and thickness of the material. The Cooling shorts are about 40% thinner than the Originals and more see-through, but have an amazing silkiness that glides over your curves. The Originals have a great smoothing effect, making you feel a little more held-in (not like shapewear, but in a gentle hug kind-of way) and are not see-through.
Can I only wear 'em in spring & summer?
Nope! You can wear your Thigh Society all year round. Put 'em on under a wrap skirt in the fresh Spring breeze, under a Summer dress on a swelteringly hot day, under or over tights/pantyhose in the Autumn/Fall to extend the life of your hosiery, or for an extra layer of warmth in Winter. And don't forget to pack them on tropical vacations.
Why wouldn't I just use deodorant / gel / cream / powder?
We're super jelly if any of these options work for you. Not us. We need to re-apply every 10 minutes and we've tried EVERY.SINGLE.BRAND. No joke. Shwetty, shwetty thighs over here.
How do I know these are high quality?
Have you ever bought other brands of slip shorts that lose their shape after being worn for 5 minutes? Or when they're labelled as "one size fits all" but they really don't fit anyone (not well, at least)?! That's low quality. We use only the highest quality raw materials and thoughtful construction to produce a finished garment that you'll be able to wear for a long time.
But won't that inner seam lead to chafing?
Nope! The seams on the inner thigh panel are strategically placed on the *outside* of the inner thigh, away from the area of your thigh that will be high five'ing the other one. Plus, we used stitching that sits flat against your skin, as opposed to a raised seam which can lead to chafing.
Why didn't you put cotton through the entire inner thigh panel?
Great question! Cotton, while breathable, is notorious for trapping moisture and keeping it there...which means a higher chance of getting a nasty thigh rash. That's why our inner thigh panel is all moisture wicking except for a small knit-in cotton crotch. The result - increased comfort for your thighs and your bits!
How do I know these are better than bike shorts?
Comfort, quality & stay put-ness. Our slip shorts have lots of added advantages over bike shorts and are worth every penny (but yeah, we're a bit biased):
1. Our soft, lightweight and luxe fabric feels great against your skin.
2. They are virtually seam-free, unlike bike shorts with annoying front/back/center raised seams that can increase the likelihood of chafing. Our wide inner thigh panel is sewn in with non-abrasive flat stitching and sits away from your inner thighs.
3. There's a small knit-in cotton crotch if you want to wear them sans underwear - which means there's no need to double up on extra layers.
4. The stretch and recovery of our fabric will rival any biking short you've ever tried.
5. Our soft waistband doesn't squeeze or dig in.
6. Our legs don't ride up - but don't just take our word for it, check out our customer reviews ;)
What's the waistband like?
The waistband is knit of the same stretchy yarn as the shorts, double folded and sewn onto the garment. It's not a traditional covered elastic waistband that you may be used to. Because it stretches to fit your curves, you won't feel constricted.
Will the fabric make noise when I walk?
Noisy thigh syndrome. Thigh swoosh. Swishy thighs. Whatever you want to call it, whenever 2 things (thighs included) rub together, there will inevitably be some sound. Short of waddling like a penguin with your legs straddled wide, there's really no way to avoid it.
While our microfiber fabric feels different from its nylon cousins (tights and pantyhose), the sound has to do with the texture and weave of the material which is designed not to retain moisture in order to keep you dry. Having more moisture at the points of friction would reduce noise, but then you wouldn't be as comfortable. So it's a trade off, and we're always looking at new options.
Bottom line: in most day-to-day situations, environmental noise ought to drown out any sound you might hear in the quiet of your own home.
Will the fabric cling to my clothes?
It shouldn't, but sometimes very dry conditions can cause static. In that case, all you need to do is spray a bit of static guard and you're good to go. Putting some moisturizer on your legs first or wetting your hands and smoothing out the fabric can also help combat the dryness that causes static.
Why don't you make my size?
We're so excited to have just launched our newest sizes, XS/S and 5XL/6XL since thigh chafing can affect people of all sizes. We're continuously working with our manufacturer to see how more size expansion might be possible. Right now it's more a function of the equipment available at our factory and not because we don't want to make your size.
How do I wash them?
Our slip shorts are easy to care for - just machine wash cold and tumble dry on low heat.
Is Thigh Society For Me?
I'm pregnant - can I wear Thigh Society?
While Thigh Society wasn't specifically designed for maternity, the super stretchy fabric can accommodate a growing belly and will protect your inner thighs from chafing, which can happen with pregnancy weight gain. You may want to size up; many moms-to-be have worn their Thigh Society for up to the first 5-6 months, but it depends on how you carry.
I get hot flashes - can you help?
Yes! If you're a menopausal woman who gets hot flashes, let our shorts do the work to wick sweat away, keeping you and dry and comfortable.
Can I exercise in Thigh Society?
While they weren't designed for super active sporting activities, customers have told us that they love our shorts for doing yoga and lifting weights at the gym. Our Originals are not see-through, whereas our Cooling are sheer...so you'd probably want to wear something over them.
Can I wear Thigh Society in the water?
We do have some customers who wear our darker coloured shorts (black and caramel) in the water, but they're not designed for that since they aren't as tight as swim trunks.
Can I wear a pad or panty liner with Thigh Society?
It depends - the gusset (crotch area) is wide enough to accommodate a pad or liner, but you might have better luck keeping it in place with wings, and if you don't want to risk it - we suggest wearing a panty with the shorts during those times of the month.
What is camel toe and will I get it?
Wikipedia lists camel toe as "a slang term that refers to the outline of a human female's labia majora, as seen through tightly fitting clothes. Due to a combination of anatomical factors and the snugness of the fabric covering it, the crotch and pudendal cleft may take on a resemblance to the forefoot of a camel."
Ick. Rest assured that we have a "no camel toe guarantee" with Thigh Society's seamless crotch area, where your lady bits can rest comfortably without any annoying central seams.

Look for large, heavy pomegranates to yield dark red juice. Serve the sorbet in shallow bowls in a pool of Champagne or pass glasses of Champagne alongside. Plus: More Dessert Recipes and Tips
How to Make It
Using a large citrus juicer, ream 12 of the pomegranate halves to yield 2 cups of juice. Strain the juice if necessary to remove any seeds or white pith.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar with 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water. Simmer the syrup over moderate heat until thick and reduced to 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Stir the syrup and lemon juice into the pomegranate juice. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. While the sorbet is churning, chill a stainless steel bowl in the freezer. As soon as the sorbet is done, transfer it to the chilled bowl.
To serve, scoop the pomegranate sorbet into chilled dessert bowls or Champagne saucers. Pour Champagne around the sorbet, garnish with 3 or 4 Candied Clementines and sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds.

Anna Karina was the poster girl of the French new wave: Jean-Luc Godard's mercurial, mysterious muse (and former wife). Born Hanne Karin Blarke Bayer in Denmark in September 1940, she starred in Vivre Sa Vie, Alphaville, Bande à Part and Une Femme Est une Femme. At 69, she still cuts a glamorous figure as she introduces a screening in Cannes of the restored version of Godard's eye-popping Pierrot le Fou, in which she appears opposite Jean-Paul Belmondo.
The next afternoon, sitting in the bar of the Majestic hotel in Cannes, Karina is in playful mood, ready to talk about her relationship with Godard. The director first saw her in a soap ad and tried to cast her in a minor role in Breathless, but she refused to take her clothes off and turned him down. She was eventually offered a big role in Le Petit Soldat (1960). "I said to him, 'Do I have to take my clothes off?' He said, 'No, no, it's a political film. I said, 'Politics? I don't know anything about politics. I am too young.' He said, 'You just have to do what I tell you to.'"
At the time, Karina had a boyfriend. Nonetheless, the attraction between director and star was evident. "We fell in love but nobody would take the first step." One night, during a dinner party in Lausanne, a message was passed to her under the table. She opened up the piece of paper. It was from Godard. "It said: 'I love you. Shall we meet at midnight at the Café de la Paix in Geneva?'" Karina says she felt hypnotised. When she arrived at the assignation, Godard's head was buried in a newspaper. She stood in front of him for what seemed like a small eternity. Eventually, he lowered the paper. "I thought it took hours but probably it only took about 30 seconds. He looked at me and said, 'Shall we go?' That's how it all started."
Godard then set out to educate her. No, he told her, she wasn't ready yet for Céline, but soon had her reading Georges Bernanos's Mouchette. He would take his young wife to the Cinemathèque, where she would hover on the edges, listening to the high-blown chat about movies from Godard and his cronies (Eric Rohmer, Jacques Rivette, Agnès Varda, Henri Langlois and the like.) "I was the little one, always listening and learning."
However, Godard proved to be an unreliable husband. He would say he was off to buy a packet of cigarettes - and disappear for weeks. Without telling her, he would head off to Sweden to see Ingmar Bergman or to the US to see William Faulkner. "I'd sit and wait in front of the phone. At that time, there were no answering machines." When he came home, Karina was able to tell where he had been only by the expensive presents he brought her, presumably out of guilt.
Ironically, it was when they were working that they were closest. During the shooting of their movies, Godard would never go awol and they achieved an intimacy that they struggled to match in the other parts of life together.
Karina and Godard divorced in 1967. No, she doesn't keep in touch with him these days. He is living reclusively in Switzerland ("he doesn't really want to talk to anyone") and Karina is busy enough with her own projects. She recently directed a feature, Victoria, in Canada that has been shown widely on the festival circuit. (She made her first feature, Living Together, way back in 1973.) She is also continuing her separate career as a singer - which hit the heights in the 60s with such Serge Gainsbourg-penned hits as Sous le Soleil Exactement and Roller Girl.
She finishes with a story about why she changed her name. She ran away from Denmark to Paris aged 17. She began modelling and soon, was appearing in the pages of Elle magazine. A lady with a big hat discovered that she wanted to be an actress and recommended she change her name. The lady's name? Coco Chanel.

Lawn Care FAQs
What is a healthy grass lawn?
Utilizing our scientific understanding of how compounds are formulated by manufacturers, work in the plant, and breakdown in the environment we have selected products. Our product selection began with a review of over 5,000 products available to us from manufacturers and distributors. Our process involved eliminating over 4,000 toxic products and then carefully reviewing the remaining 1,000 products to select products that still work. This provides us with an impressive portfolio of products that still control allergen inducing weeds, damaging insects and promote healthy grass growth with improved safety. Our approach is to understand the balance you hold between organic natural and pests. We work with each client to understand where they fall on the spectrum so that we can provide each customer with what they want. During this process we share the expected outcomes to make sure you are satisfied prior to any applications going down.
How do you evaluate my lawn?
When getting our service one of our owners will come out to visit with you and evaluate your lawn. They will look at the condition (stressed areas) and layout (sunny areas, shady areas, wet areas, etc) of your lawn. Using their real world knowledge and masters degree in turf management they will formulate the best plan using the Healthy Grass Safer process for your lawn.
Do you use 100% organic products?
We can if it is right for you. 100% organic products cannot provide you with a healthy, safer, green, and weed lawn without significant labor inputs. We use our Healthy Grass Safer process to reduce inputs and maximize lawn health and weed control, providing you with the healthiest lawn for you and your family. But if you are adamant on only organic products, we can provide you that option as we have for many of our clients. Reach out to us today to receive a full consultation on the best option for your needs.
Why should I aerate my lawn?
Visit our aeration page.
When should I water my lawn?
The latest research suggests watering your lawn in the early morning hours, 5-8am is the best time. Watering later in the day leads to evaporation of some of the applied water, thus waste. Watering during the late night or early morning promotes disease which hurts plant health. While this is a general rule each situation is different. Contact us today to discuss your specific situation.
How often should I mow my lawn?
The best sports fields and golf courses in the world mow their grass every day or two. They do this because mowing is a stress on the plant. By only removing a little bit of leaf tissue each time, they are able to minimize plant stress. We do not see that as practical, nor necessary for most homeowners. Once or twice a week mowing during most of the year is adequate. With that said, there are complicating factors such as how fast is the grass growing, what is your mowing height, how sharp are your mower blades, etc. The products we apply are designed to limit growth flushes and our experts are here to help you identify the proper mowing procedures for your lawn.
Does Healthy Grass guarantee their service?
With over 30 years of experience in the Turf-grass industry we guarantee that our work will be done to your expectations. If an issue should arise we will make as many visits and perform as many extra services for FREE until it is resolved to your satisfaction. That is our Healthy Grass Guarantee.

Some people are natural born competitors. They seek any opportunity to sign up for events and competitions. Others are more hesitant about the idea. They want to make sure they're ready for a competition before they sign up. And there are still others who have never considered it. Competing can be a fun way to take your fitness to the next level. It's an opportunity to test yourself and to have a new experience. So how do you know if you're ready?
- You've Plateaued – It happens in just about any fitness program. You reach a point where it seems like your improvements have leveled out. You are no longer making any personal records, and your enthusiasm and motivation may have leveled out as well. If you've reached a flat point in your fitness, it's a sign that you're ready to compete. Competition may not only help you increase your intensity and training, it'll likely teach you a few things about your fitness level.
- You're Experiencing Great Results – Some people learn later in life that they're natural athletes who enjoy fitness. If you're experiencing great results from your current fitness program, put them to the test. You will either perform very well or you'll learn a bit more about your fitness level and your sport, which is a win as well.
- You're Bored – It happens to many people regardless of your fitness routine or sport. Workouts become boring and stale. Competition presents a fantastic opportunity to take your fitness to the next level. It'll give you something to plan for. You'll set goals and create your workouts to reach those goals so you're ready for the race.
Competition – What It Is and What It Isn't
Many people believe that competition is just for athletes. That's not true at all. Today millions of people are competing in marathons. Are all of them athletes? No. In fact, many of them have never competed in any event. There are also obstacle course events, charity runs, bicycle tours and much more. Competition doesn't have to mean you competing with other people.
Instead, it's best to compete with yourself. Set a goal and use the race or event as a means of achieving it. For example, if you want to run a marathon then create a training plan, choose a race, and start running. Your goal may be to finish, it may be to finish in less than four hours, or it may be to simply do the best you can do.
Competition will teach you about yourself. Competitive events can be fun and exciting and a very effective way to regain the fitness enthusiasm and performance you're seeking.

The Department of Genetics is one of the few Genetic Centers in the country, which is recognized for both research (KFRC recognized by D.S.I.R, Govt. of India) and is an authorized Genetic Clinic and Counselling Center (KIMS with PNDT registration, DM&HO, Govt. of India). The Center provides super-specialized services such as Genetic Consultation and Counselling and Genetic testing for patients and their families: from fetuses, infants to the elderly, from the commonest genetic cases to the rarest.
The Department of Genetics was initiated in December 2013. The Genetic specialist offers comprehensive genetic evaluation, pre-test and post-test counseling and genetic screening and testing in all areas of medical genetics, including chromosomal abnormalities, single-gene or multi-gene diseases and inborn errors of metabolism.
The human body is composed of about 37.2 billion individual cells. These cells contain 'DNA', a long twisted biomolecule that holds the blueprint for how we are built. A gene is a segment of DNA with defined functions in the body. These genes are passed down from parents to children and make up the complete built of the children. Natural errors in the sequence of DNA (mutations) can cause various genetic diseases. An approximate total of 30,000 genes are packaged into structures called as 'chromosomes'. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, including a pair of sex chromosomes (X X in females, X Y in males). One set of chromosomes for each pair comes from the mother, and the other set comes from the father. Genetic disorders commonly occur due to numerical or structural errors in chromosomes. The genetic screening packages (see below) include tests that can detect common genetic disorders occurring due to DNA errors as well as chromosomal errors.
Apart from the 500 specific genetic tests, KFRC offers specialized genetic counseling and testing packages at reduced prices to accommodate people from various economic backgrounds
The 'Pre-Marital genetic evaluation' package is meant for the prospective bride and groom to screen for risk of serious genetic disorders that they may pass on to the next generation (their children). This is done by evaluation of 3-generation pedigree of the prospective bride and groom by a super-specialized genetic consultant, followed by two genetic tests; one to screen the couple for carrier status of Haemoglobinopathies such as Thalassemia and, second is high resolution chromosomal analysis, to rule out numerical and structural chromosomal abnormalities. Special genetic risk analysis and testing is done for consanguineous couples (those marrying/married to a family relative). The tests results are explained to the couple in the post-test genetic counseling and appropriate reproductive advice is provided.
The Pre-conceptional Genetic Counselling and Testing scheme is similar to the pre-marital package and is meant for married couples who are planning a family.
In almost all developed countries, all newborns are screened for common genetic conditions. However, there is no such compulsory newborn screening program in India. Due to this major lapse in neonatal care in India, two different genetic evaluation packages are introduced for newborn babies at KFRC. These newborn genetic screens will help to detect serious genetic disorders that if undetected and untreated (does not apply to all detected disorders), can have severe health consequences for your baby. Unfortunately, most newborns with these genetic metabolic disorders show no signs or symptoms of the disease. However, with time they can cause slow physical development, mental retardation and sometimes even death. If your baby has one of these disorders, the tests will help identify it early (within 2 to 7 days of birth) so that specific treatment may start before the disorder can cause any serious harm to the baby.
In both newborn genetic screen packages, the baby has a thorough dysmorphological evaluation, detailed pedigree analysis by a super-specialized genetic consultant and chromosomal analysis (using blood).
The 'routine newborn genetic screening package' additionally screens for four common metabolic diseases.
The 'high-risk newborn genetic screening package' tests for more than 50 metabolic disorders including hemoglobinopathies.
Genetic tests are followed by post-test genetic counseling to explain the parents the significance of the test result and implications for the baby's health.

A tattoo studio can tattoo a small design around the toe in the shape of a ring. The tattoo artist inks the skin around the toe using the same methods that are used for tattooing any other body part.
A tattoo that is inked over just the top of the toe gives the same look as a ring, but is less painful to get and typically costs less. Unlike a traditional toe ring, a tattooed toe ring does not hurt when it is worn and can never get lost. It is permanent, but may fade over time like any tattoo. Toe ring design ideas are available online and at tattoo studios.

As I mentioned in my previous post, the Northern Flicker pair who had been hanging around my box finally got down to laying eggs on April 30th. Barring a mishap when the male accidentally jumped into the box and crushed the second egg, things seemed to be going okay for a couple days. Then the male suddenly stopped coming around.
Though the female gamely laid another few eggs for a final total of 4, her calls never induced her missing mate to return. This is problematic because the male Flicker is the one who is the most attentive, brooding the eggs the most, especially at night. I noticed the female coming to the nest maybe twice a day, once in the morning and once later in the afternoon, but in between the eggs went unprotected.
In the interim, I noticed a Starling enter the box at least once. It appeared alone, but seemed excited to find the cavity unminded. While it pushed around the eggs a bit the time I saw it, I was relieved that it didn't try to pierce them or chuck them from the box.
This morning, however, a Flicker, perhaps the previous female or a new female seemed to come to a decision to end the nesting attempt. Northern Flickers will re-bond with a new mate if their old one dies or disappears, so it's quite possible this is the same female who laid the eggs and she's clearing out for a new brood with another partner. One by one she took the eggs up in her bill and carried them off, or, as in the case with one egg, unceremoniously tossed it out of the box to splatter on my deck.
After the eggs were disposed of, a male Flicker was definitely in the nest cavity probing at the bottom of the box. The two have been in and out of the box drumming and calling for most of the day so I can only hope this is the start of a new beginning and not the end.
I'll be giving out more updates as they occur.

Depression and hopelessness are not the only reasons terminally ill patients wish to end their lives. Many individuals see nothing undignified about choosing to end their lives at the time and manner of their choosing - and many view such a choice as the meaningful culmination of a good life.

Armed Forces Covenant Fund: Local Grants Scheme Opens for 2017 (UK)
The Ministry of Defence has launched the Armed Forces Covenant Fund's Local Grant scheme for 2017 with new guidelines.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is currently accepting applications for grants of up to £20,000 for projects in the UK that support the armed forces community and meet MoD priorities.
Registered charities, community interest companies, local authorities, schools, and armed forces units with a UIN can apply as long as they have experience and a track record of working with the Armed Forces Community, and a real understanding of the issues facing the Armed Forces Community.
The funding is for projects that respond to the local needs of the Armed Forces Community and improve recognition of the Armed Forces Covenant, and:
- Help integrate Armed Forces and civilian communities across the UK, and/or
- Deliver valuable local services to the armed forces community.
Applicants must work closely with their Local Partnerships to ensure that their project is properly connected locally, responds to recognised need and does not duplicate other provision.
The grants will pay for most of the things needed for the project whether it is people's time, buying or hiring equipment, or minor improvements to land or buildings.
This is not a general fund for organisations to support their core activities simply by adding members of the armed forces community to their beneficiary group in order to apply for funding.
Applications will be accepted throughout 2017 and will be considered four times over the next 12 months.
There are no application deadlines.

Neil Zevnik has been a passionate, some might say obsessive, collector of vintage costume jewelry for nearly thirty years. His collection ranges from 1840 to 1970, from haute couture to yard sale, from the sublime to the ridiculous and everything in between.
"Like all decorative arts, costume jewelry reveals and reflects the attitudes and events of the periods in which it is created, from the humble everyday to worldwide history… This fascinates me."
For many years, the only way to obtain a gem from his hoard was to attend one of the exclusive charity events that he sponsored. Now he has decided to part with a major portion of his collection, and a significant portion of the proceeds will still go to charity.
from Los Angeles Times profile | April 2013
"There's a magpie side of me," Zevnik says. "I'm entranced by things that sparkle."
"It gives me enormous pleasure to be able to share my passion for these glittering works of art and do some good in the world at the same time."
The Names: Schiaparelli, Haskell, Eisenberg, Ciner, Trifari and Kramer, Panetta and Pennino, Boucher, Cini, Mazer, Florenza, Caviness and Carnegie, Vogue and Vendome and Vrba, and so many more. And the countries: Austria, France, Germany, Czechoslovakia, England, China, Japan, Siam, and of course the post-war costume jewelry capital of the world, The United States.
"Some people collect Tiffany glass, some collect American Art Pottery or dolls or perfume bottles… Vintage costume jewelry is the art form that excites me."

Latin America and the Caribbean see slower growth in next four years
March 19, 2009
Latin American and Caribbean leaders expect per capita income to fall or grow moderately in the 2009–2012 period and governments to rely more on financing from international institutions, according to a survey by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The expectations contrast sharply with the recent economic performance in the region, where product per capita grew 4.1 percent annually in the past five years.
The IDB, a partner of Colombia in development
March 17, 2009
Since the mid-1990s the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has been the leading source of multilateral financing for Colombia. Over the last 50 years, the IDB has approved more than US$14.8 billion in loans and non-refundable technical cooperation projects for Colombia. Throughout its history, the IDB has supported the Colombian government and private sector in key development areas such as infrastructure, state modernization and reform, small and medium enterprise, agriculture, energy, climate change and environmental protection.
Venture capital for low-income markets
February 26, 2009
Investing in housing, healthcare, education, basic utilities and nutrition can not only fulfill a social mission, but it can also be a profitable business venture. This is the concept of IGNIA Fund, which will channel venture capital resources to fund commercially viable growth companies serving the "base of the pyramid," those persons in Latin America and the Caribbean earning less than $3,260 a year. The IGNIA Fund selects projects with the potential to be expanded on a larger scale, thereby increasing the social and economic impact.
The underserved low-income market in the Caribbean
May 25, 2007
Close to 90 percent of the population in the Caribbean––over 11 million people, mostly in Haiti, Jamaica and Suriname—has an annual income lower than $3,260 or under $300 a month measured in purchasing-power-parity (PPP) dollars. This startling statistics comes from a new report presented at the seminar Opportunities for the Majority (OM) in the Caribbean, held by the IDB in Montego Bay, Jamaica, on May 17—18.
Latinos from the Far East
March 01, 2006
By Charo QuesadaWhen Mexicans or Panamanians say they are "going to the Chino for groceries" they are not talking about some Chinese individual that happened to open a business around the corner from where they live. In their countries, the Chinese store has become an institution with a long tradition, providing a large and convenient selection of basic products, at low cost and with convenient business hours.
More growth or less inequality?
September 20, 2005
Increased investment, low inflation, an improved fiscal situation, decreased unemployment. Latin America and the Caribbean have been hearing plenty of good news the past 18 months. A group of renowned economists analyzed the situation at a seminar hosted by the IDB Research Department to honor IDB President Enrique V. Iglesias, who will retire on September 30. Iglesias himself opened the seminar, which was chaired by IDB Chief Economist Guillermo Calvo, with the participation of Ricardo Hausmann, Michael Mussa, José Antonio Ocampo and John Williamson.
Technology Helped Reducing Inequality Gap
April 21, 2005
A study realized by scholars at the universities of Chicago, Maryland and the Hoover Institution demonstrated that technology is helping reduce inequality in the world. Bary S. Bercker, Tomas J. Philopson, and Rodrigo R. Soares compared "the welfare value of gains in life expectancy with gains in income" to get the "effect of life expectancy on the evolution of world inequality."
Sharing a vision of social cohesion
February 18, 2005
Income gap, access to education, health, land, or credit, equal treatment by the police and justice: all these are factors of social inequality that contribute to a climate of global insecurity affecting all regions, including Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean. But need for action is more pressing in Latin America because social inequality endangers the region's hardly earned democratic stability.
Mexico – EU Free Trade Area opens doors to foreign trade for Latin America
July 30, 2004
The Mexico-European Union Free Trade Agreement, the first such accord between Europe and a country in the Americas, is celebrating its fourth anniversary and 27% growth in bilateral trade volume. (1) However, long-term benefits are not easily measured. The reported effective growth rates - 19% for Mexican exports to the European Union, and 30% for EU exports to Mexico – is considered relatively low compared with Mexico's 18% increase in exports worldwide.
The integration imperative
October 01, 2002
By Paul Constance Should people in Latin America still care about regional integration? With media attention focused on fiscal crises, terrorism, rising poverty and contentious elections, does it really make sense to talk about obscure negotiations concerning fitosanitary standards or taxes on auto parts?

If there were one thing that you could change about your body, what would it be?
There are actually a large number of individuals out there who would like to change more than just one thing.
There are many who say that they are too skinny, others who claim that they are too large, some claim that their cleavage is too big or too small, and others who would change the size of their butts. Unfortunately, not everyone has the money needed to get cosmetic surgery and not everyone has the time needed to devote to an exercise plan. That is what results in many feeling hopeless, like things are never going to change. However, there is good news, while you may not necessarily be able to change the way that your body is, you may be able to "change," the way that it looks.
- You can do this with fashion.
Unfortunately, when it comes to fashion and fashion trends, there are many individuals who only believe that fashion trends are only for those who are "perfect," like models. The truth is that nobody is perfect and that is why fashion trends are more than just for those who are models. What you may not necessarily realize is that fashion comes in all different sizes, shapes, and styles. There are fashion trends that exist for individuals of all different sizes and shapes.
- A few of those fashions are briefly touched on below.
If you are small in size, height wise, you may be considered petite. When it comes to petite clothing, there is a whole line of clothing that is designed for those with petite body frames. The clothes are often designed so that pants to do not drag on the floor and so forth. Petite clothing comes in all different formats from swimwear to work wear.
If you are athletic or active, you may have an athletic body frame or appearance. This is often one that is muscular in nature or toned and fit. Unfortunately, not all women's clothing is designed for individuals like you. That is why there are clothing lines that are designed especially for active women and women built like you. In addition to traditional exercise clothing and casual clothing, it is more than possible to find elegant eveningwear that is designed to complement your fit and athletic body frame.
If you are considered a plus sized individual, you will also find a line of clothing designed just for you. What is nice about plus sized fashions is that they have changed for the better over the years. It once seemed as if plus sized clothing was designed more for comfort than appearance. While many plus size clothing pieces still have comfort in mind, you may be surprised with the beautiful clothing pieces and accessories that are now available for plus sized women, as well as men.
The above mentioned fashions for petite, athletic, and plus sized women are just a few of the many that exist. No matter what your size or your body build, you should be able to find beautiful and attractive clothing to fit you and your needs.
If you are looking for more than just beautiful and attractive clothing, but clothing that is considered trendy at the moment, you may want to think about shopping at one of your local shopping malls. Window shopping is one of the best ways to review the latest trends in fashions, for all different body types.
Another approach that you may want to take is buying fashion magazines or using the internet to help you research new, popular fashion trends for those with your body frame or body size.
The Pros and Cons of Relying On Workplace Fashion Trends!
Each day, thousands of Americans, if not more, research workplace fashions. Workplace fashion is often a term that is used to describe the clothing or clothing accessories that are worn to work. Many of those individuals are looking for the "hottest," trends in workplace clothing, so that they can "fit in," with the fashionable or well-dressed crowd. Many people believe that dressing in the latest fashion trends may give the reputation of being fashionable and trendy. While it is more than possible to do this, you need to display caution.
What many individuals do not realize is that there are a number of pros and cons to relying on workplace fashion trends. One of those pros or plus sides was mentioned above. When you wear a fashionable outfit to work, there is a good chance that you will receive a lot of compliments on your outfit.
This is a nice feeling and it is one that makes many feel proud.
The only thing that you need to remember is that they are many more cons or downsides to relying on workplace fashion trends than there are plus sides. For instance, workplace fashion trends do not always distinguish between jobs and careers. For instance, if you worked at a trendy coffee shop or retail store, there is a good chance that the dress code would be casual clothing and trendy work attire may actually be encouraged.
However, if you were to work at a law office or an insurance company, you may be required to dress more professional. Unfortunately, many workplace fashion trends are designed for the working population in general, not specific careers. This is where you can run into trouble if you are not careful.
Before relying on workplace fashion trends or running out to buy a new work outfit, you will want to take a good, close look at the trend in question.
For instance, does the trend require the wearing of a shirt or a dress, no matter what the length? If so, it is important that you look at what you do for a living. If you are in a professional office setting, a dress may be perfect for you. On the other hand though, if you were to work in a retail store as a manager or a store stocker, a dress or skirt may actually get in the way and hamper your efforts to work and be productive.
You also need to take a close look in the fashion in question. For instance, it is not uncommon for women to wear casual business suits with a tank top or cami underneath. Before joining in on this trend, you need to remember that you may not necessarily be able to take your work coat or sweater off, as some businesses frown upon tank tops or other revealing shirts.
Unless you regularly bring a change of clothes with you to work, you should prepare to wear what you have on all day long.
As previously mentioned, by wearing trendy workplace fashion pieces, like clothing and clothing accessories, many people are given compliments, but not always. The last thing that you want to do is get a bad name for yourself instead of compliments.
That is why it is also advised that you take what others may think of you into consideration. If you work in a workplace that is known for its gossip, you may want to take a close look at the fashions that you are interested in displaying. The business world is a tough one and although it is nice to make a good impression, you need to make sure that the impression that you would be making is a good one.
The decision as to whether or not you want to incorporate the latest workplace fashion trends into your wardrobe is yours to make, but you may want to take the above mentioned points into consideration before doing so. Unfortunately, in today's society it often seems as if what we wear is more important than our personalities.
Workplace Fashions: How to Familiarize Yourself with the Latest Trends
Are you preparing to start a new job or do you just like to always look trendy and fashionable for work? If you do, you may be interested in keeping up the latest in workplace fashions. If you are and if this is your first time trying to do so, you may be curious as to what all of your options are.
- If you are, you will want to continue reading on.
If you are interested in buying a fashion magazine, you may want to flip through the magazine in question before doing so.
While most fashion magazines do have a section that talks about workplace fashions, not all do. If you are able to find a magazine that does, you may walk away with very helpful information on workplace fashions, like what you should and shouldn't wear to work.
Another way that you can go about familiarizing yourself with the latest in workplace fashions is by using the internet. Online, there are a large number of fashion websites, as well as online fashion magazines that you can gain free access to.
These online resources are a great way to learn more about workplace fashions, particularly the trends that are popular at the current moment. Since you would likely be focused on workplace fashions and not necessarily casual wear, you may want to think about customizing your internet search to include phrases like "workplace fashions," "work wear clothing," and so forth.
You may also be able to familiarize yourself with the latest in workplace fashions by turning on your television. As fashion becomes loved by more individuals each day, it is easier to find fashion focused television shows and even television channels. By checking your television's onscreen guide or by viewing a printed television schedule, you should be able to see if any upcoming fashion shows will be focusing on fashion in the workplace.
Another one of the many ways that you can familiarize yourself with the latest in workplace fashions is to start shopping. If you choose to shop online, you will likely find that fashion retailers have their most popular clothing pieces and accessories prominently displayed on their website's main page.
For storefront retail locations, you will likely find that popular and sought after clothing pieces and accessories are often the part of a store display. Also, by customizing your store search to include those that are focused on career orientated individuals, you are more likely to find what you are looking for, in terms of clothing and fashion accessories to wear to work.
As you can see, you have a number of different options when it comes to familiarizing yourself with workplace fashion trends. As a reminder, just because you see that something is popular at the moment, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is right for you and your workplace.
Before implementing any new workplace fashion trends, you are encouraged to examine your workplace environment. You will also want to keep in mind what is considered acceptable and what is not.

One of Australia's hottest-selling products, infant formula, has been caught up in the market woes about the health of China's economy.
Shares in some of Australia's most-popular infant formula brands have plummeted in the past month amid increasing concerns from analysts that the world's second-largest economy will cool further this year.
On Tuesday, Beijing said fourth-quarter growth growth was less than expected while China's economy expanded 6.9 per cent in 2015, the slowest pace in 25 years.
Trans-Tasman producer, a2 Milk, has fallen 26.7 per cent to $1.58 in the past four weeks, while Bellamy's Organic has eased 14.6 per cent to $13.22. This compares with the S&P ASX 200 Index shedding 8.3 per cent in the same period.
The sell-off comes as demand in China for Australian formula sent the shares of popular infant nutrition brands soaring late year.
But infant formula makers, which have struggled to keep their products on Australian supermarket shelves, are still reporting strong sales.
One dairy executive said despite the China slowdown, disposable incomes and sales in China were still robust.
"There is a disconnect in the market," the executive said.
Woolworths has even been accused of racial profiling after it blocked online sales of formula to people with Asian surnames in an effort to combat a national shortage of popular infant food brands.
NAB agribusiness economist Phin Ziebell said demand for infant formula in China should continue to remain strong, particularly as the country moves from a manufacturing to a consumption led economy.
He said infant formula was different to other dairy exports because it was a premium, branded product.
"The thing about China and dairy is it's really going in two directions," Mr Ziebell said.
"There was the melamine scandal in 2008 and understandably people were terrified about that because food safety is a serious problem. That means for your infant formula there is going to big demand for product that isn't adulterated with poison.
"And certainly the Chinese leadership has an emphasis on a more consumption based economy. If they can do that, that's good for Australian agricultural exports because we can sell into that premium end of the market and have an FTA [free trade agreement] which gives us the ability to really effectively do that."
The outlook for bulk dairy commodities isn't as rosy. China has stepped out of the global dairy market in the past 18 months while it ran down inventories of milk powder, triggering a halving of prices for key dairy commodities. It has also ramped up its own supply, Mr Ziebell said.
"The medium-term story is for commodity-end milk powder, that's not baby formula and not at the premium-end of the market… there is a move to source that domestically," he said.
"That's quite separate from any of the financial market ructions that we've seen since the start of the year."
Mr Ziebell said this was likely to put a stopper on global dairy prices reaching the highs of the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
"We think they [China] will get back into the market a bit but I don't see the upside of that 2014 binge on global markets.
"So we won't see massive upside in price forecasts, but likewise we don't see calamity ahead either."
NAB is forecasting a "slow recovery" of global dairy prices this year, which will be bolstered by a lower Australian dollar that it expects will hit 66 US cents by June.
"Australian prices are also likely to be supported by the ongoing international interest in our products," said NAB regional agribusiness manager Dave Davies.
"Free trade agreements such as the China Free Trade Agreement will only help this trade, especially if we can operate on a more level playing field with the New Zealand industry."

Tank Design Reduces Post Collision Fires
Motorcycle accidents are often angled collisions, a type of accident which occurs when a motorcycle is impacted by another vehicle on the side or obliquely. Such accidents occur at road intersections or when a vehicle is joining the main flow of traffic, e.g., a vehicle leaving a gas station. In some of these collisions, the motorcycle gas tank is dented, decreasing the internal volume and dramatically increasing the internal pressure. If this happens when the gas tank is full or nearly so, the pressure build-up can blow the tank cap off, drenching the rider with gasoline. The gasoline often ignites resulting in severe injuries or death. There are four questions you need to know to determine if improper tank design is a factor in your post-collision motorcycle fire.
The pressure build-up can be reduced considerably by a simple device which traps air in the tank. This device consists of a short tube inserted in the tank filler hole projecting downward a short distance. As gasoline fills the tank, it displaces the air until the gasoline reaches the level of the bottom of the filler tube. At this point, any additional gasoline added to the tank will simply flow out the tank filler hole, not into the air trapped in the voids left in the tank.
The device works on the principle of the compressibility of gases versus the near-incompressibility of liquids. For a full tank without air trapped inside, even an indentation as little as 1% of its volume will increase the pressure inside the tank approximately 225 PSI. It is unlikely that a gas cap or tank seam will be able to withstand this pressure and prevent gasoline from blowing up out of the tank during a collision. Think of squeezing a nearly full plastic gallon milk jug with the cap on; even a small squeeze will cause the cap to fly off. However, by allowing air to occupy just 10% of the tank's total volume, this same indentation will only increase the pressure by approximately 30 PSI; this is an internal pressure which the tank and cap can be designed to withstand.
The tradeoff for this margin of safety is a decrease in usable tank capacity with a corresponding decrease in the mileage the rider gets from one tank of gasoline. One way to defeat this safety device and restore the tank's volume capacity is by drilling a small hole in the side of the tube. This allows the air to escape and the fluid level to rise to the level of the drilled hole. Internet bulletin board chats are filled with discussions and "advice" to drill this hole and restore tank capacity, although no one seems to know the reason for the tank filler tube being there in the first place or the dramatic loss in safety traded for being able to ride 40 miles further before filling up.
In addition to the user defeating this safety device by drilling a hole in it, custom built motorcycles or motorcycles with customized tanks on them may not even have the device to begin with. Older motorcycles (prior to the mid-1980s) do not have this device. Unfortunately, some manufacturers have forgotten the original intent of the device and have defeated it by producing new motorcycles whose tank filler necks have holes already drilled in the side.
Questions to Consider
The next time you have a case involving a motorcycle collision with an ensuing fire remember the following: Is there any deformation of the tank? How full was the tank when the accident occurred?/When did you last fill up? Check inside the gas cap and look to see if there is a neck filler tube. Does it have holes in the side of it? Do they appear to be drilled by the end user or were they put there during manufacturing?
Knowing the answer to these questions will help you and your experts in determining the root cause of a post-collision motorcycle fire.

Logo is a visual representation of everything a company stands for. Ideally, a company logo enhances potential customers and partners' creates crucial first impression of a business. A good logo can build loyalty between a business and its customers, establish a brand identity, and provide the professional look of an established enterprise.
With a little thought and creativity, a logo can quickly and graphically express many positive attributes of business.
Getting Started
Before you begin sketching first articulate the message you want your logo to convey. Try writing a one-sentence image and mission statement to help focus your efforts. Stay true to this statement while creating logo.
Step 1: The Design Brief
The first step in the creative portion of the logo design process is called the design brief. This is when the designer discusses the project at length with the client. Understanding the company's goals for the logo is critical. The designer should gather as much information from the client as possible. It is important to learn where the logo will be used, on what scale and in what capacity. A logo that will be used on a billboard might contain more detail than a logo that will be used on letterhead and business cards. The designer should also learn about the company's target audience. The logo should reflect and attract the correct demographic. It is also important for the designer to learn whether the company has already established a visual aesthetic. If there is an existing color scheme or style established, it is crucial to find out whether the client would like to incorporate those characteristics into the new logo. In some circumstances, a new logo might be a chance to start fresh and create a brand new visual identity, whereas in other circumstances it might be important to the client that some sort of consistency is maintained.
Step 2: Research
Once a sufficient amount of general information has been gathered, the designer must dig deeper into the research stage. Often clients cannot verbalize exactly what they envision for the logo, so it is the designer's duty to coax related information from the client. Asking relevant, strategic questions should help the client pass on any applicable information. Successful logos can allude to any number of things; for example, some logos subtly refer to the company's geographic location. Establishing potential themes will benefit the designer, providing more material to use when brainstorming and sketching later in the process. Themes can be literal at this point; the art is in converting them to non-literal representations later on.
In addition to speaking directly with the client, the designer often does some cursory market research on the company and its competitors. A client's opinion of their own company only tells half the story; any good designer should also look them up (online and offline) to get a sense of the target customer's vision of the company. Examining similar companies' identity systems may lend insight into the effectiveness of various logo styles. Researching current trends in the industry can also be wise.
Step 3: Brainstorming and Conceptualization
Again, it is important to note that all designers are different. But identifying keywords related to the company and its product or service is a common practice at this point in the creative process. These words will be used to inspire possible visual representations of the company. Once ideas begin flowing onto the page in text form, visual symbols and shapes will begin to take form also. Now it is time to begin conceptualizing the themes and text established earlier during the brainstorming phase. Sketching these ideas on paper is an essential step that encourages the designer to slow down and examine all possible angles and directions.
Step 4: Draft Production
Once sufficient time has been spent on research and sketching, the draft production process begins. Digital implementation is usually executed using Adobe Illustrator, a vector based drawing program. At this point, the most successful ideas developed during the sketching phase will be recreated on the computer. They will begin to come to life with the addition of color and detail, and they will be tweaked until they accurately represent the client's wishes. Some logos rely solely on words or text, called "wordmarks," while for others text is just one piece of the puzzle. Regardless, it is important to note here that choosing the typeface will set the tone for the whole logo. Testing each logo option with a number of different fonts will ultimately lead to a more effective final product.
Step 5: Step Back
At this point, many designers will step away from the project for a brief time. This break acts as a time of reflection, giving the designer a chance to return to the project with a fresh perspective. This may also be a good opportunity to gather feedback from unbiased outside parties. Designing a logo can be a very involved process; so gaining insight from an extra pair of eyes (or two) is highly beneficial. After returning to the logo designs, the most effective iterations must be chosen and assembled for presentation.
Step 6: Client Feedback
Now that a number of options have been created, the most effective choices are presented to the client for consideration. Sometimes the logo options may be delivered contextually, to help the client envision how they will look on a piece of collateral. Usually a written description of the project will accompany the logo options. At this point, the client should consider the ideas and respond with notes. The designer then takes the client feedback into consideration, and makes changes accordingly. The improved logo is again presented to the client. Often there are many rounds of revisions before the client is satisfied with the final product.
Step 7: Delivery

I loved creating all of the special paper details for Alyson and Paul! Collaborating with Alyson, her mother Cindy and wedding planner Eva Clark flowed seamlessly. The overall vision for her paper items was a classic, elegant and chic suite with a few little unique touches to give a true custom feel.
Their calligraphy names flowed across the invitation in the prettiest shiny gold foil paired with a steel blue letterpress ink to match the shade of blue used through the wedding details. Included with the invitation was an rsvp card/envelope, a reception insert card as well as my all time favorite, the hand illustrated wedding map. The map showcased the ceremony venue, reception venue, the recommended hotel for out of town guests and of course the fountain to represent the Marietta Square. Including this map with the wedding suite was not only special because it was where the wedding took place, but it is also where the Bride herself grew up and had many many memories!
For the final touch, we loved the calligraphy monogram so much we created custom wax seals and assembled them on a gorgeous die cut shimmer pearl paper and tied the suite together with the perfect shade of blue silk ribbon. The shimmer paper matched the inner envelope that also had their gold foil monogram and wedding date on the custom die cut flap. What a gorgeous, memorable gift it was for all of their guests to receive!

Kismet is another redesign of a big favourite of our customers - I decided to kick it up a notch though, from last time, so, this time round, this Pure Silk soap contains our ever loving blend of Sweet Almond & Golden Olive oil along with lashings of creamy Cocoa Butter .. then we added our new Triple Milks formula which is lots of Buttermilk, Goatsmilk & Coconut Milk ... natural sources of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and a natural source of AHA's plus all those milk fats are sooooooooo good for your skin.
Then I added White Kaolin Clay to give the soap more slip and glide plus it helps remove dirt and excess oils, Colloidal Oatmeal which gives a silky feel and helps to condition and soften your skin. It's also said to be excellent for dry, itchy, sensitive skin. I added, of course, our pure wild tussah silk for extra luxury and silkiness.. you can't have a Pure Silk soap without actual real silk in it.
The fragrance is a stunning blend of Patchouli, Orange, Lemongrass, Lavendin, Pine, Gardenia, Sandalwood & Musk and oh boy, does it smell SO GOOD!! It's a VERY popular fragrance for us and I suspect that this soap will be running off the shelves once cured!
The technique that I used here is one I laughingly call "The Celine Swirl"... I'm sure there's another name for it and someone else has done it before (there's very little new under the sun after all) but I don't know what it's called so I just called it The Celine Swirl. Funny thing now is other soapers are trying it out and calling it that - hilarious!
Here is the Making Of video and it shows you just how to do The Celine Swirl (I laugh everytime I write that you know!):
Here is the Cutting video so you can see just how the swirls worked out:
And here are our still photographs, taken, as always by the incredible Titch Holland from http://www.facebook.com/takenbytitch:
I really hope you like the soaps ... check out the website at http://www.iamhandmade.com if you are interested in purchasing one or seeing any of the other soaps we offer.

This is meant to be a cautionary tale about what a new world would be like if we don't protect the current one, but it's quite a well-done vision regardless of what position you take. Given the progress made in robotics flying insects, such as the Harvard Robobee, we may someday have this choice.

First it was killer bees radicalizing honey bees and then it was some pest causing colony collapse. They say we're doomed but we aint dead yet. Put a honey bee colony on every public building and maybe there will be enough survivors to keep us going.
So "old" bees are dying out, most probably due to over use of pesticide, disease and parasites. So it's good to see that the "new" bees have a supply of pesticides to ensure that what few "old" bees that survive are properly irradicated.
We've already had one Green Revolution, why not another?

Lady Rockets extend 9-A win steak to 52 games
The Forrest Lady Rockets have dominated District 9A opponents for almost four years, compiling a 52-game winning streak versus their league rivals, dating back to April 26, 2005.
Friday night in Chapel Hill, the rejuvenated Cascade Lady Champions came to town and gave the Lady Rockets a scare before succumbing 6-0.
Lady Champ junior hurler Leigha Carter was magnificent, tossing four innings of no-hit ball before her counterpart in the circle, Shelby Stinnett broke up the no-no with a double to center with one out in the fifth.
One batter later, Forrest third sacker Rachel Curtis came up with her second consecutive game winning hit, lashing a two-out single to center field that easily scored courtesy runner Chelsea Johnson.
"We can count on her (Curtis) in those crucial situations," said Forrest head coach Becky Cheatham after the game.
Cheatham smiled and added, "She goes up their making the pitcher sorry she has a bat in her hand."
After the Curtis come-through, Stinnett slammed the door shut on the girls from Wartrace, giving up no hits the rest of the game while whiffing 5 out of the next 9 hitter en-route to the complete game win
Forrest added three runs in the top of sixth, started by a one-out hit by Summer Waggoner. After a 6-3 fielder's choice moved Waggoner to second, Haley Mathis slapped a line drive through the right side, putting runners on first and third.
Mathis stole second and then strolled home behind Waggoner when Brianda Elmore gouged Carter with a long two-run double into the right center field gap for a 3-0 Forrest lead.
Stinnett added another insurance with her second hit of the game, this time a two-out RBI single to left field that scored Ciara "Precious" Cook, who had come in to run for Elmore.
Stinnett was overpowering in the sixth, retiring three straight Lady Champions on weak ground balls, sending the contest to the 7th.
Curtis doubled to left with one out and Amanda Daughrity followed with a fence rattling double to the left field corner for run number six.
Cascade had a ray of light in the last inning as leadoff hitter Sara Edwards reached on an infield miscue.
Stinnett reared back, getting both Torey Hornberger and Laura Jett on swinging third strikes, putting Cascade down to their last out.
Another Forrest infield error put runners on first and third before Stinnett sawed off Tyler Buck for a slow grounder back to Stinnett, who flipped to Waggoner at first base, ending the game.
Stinnett finished the game with 10 strikeouts and 1 walk, while allowing just two Cascade singles.
The Lady Rockets improved to 10-2 overall and 5-0 in district play while the Lady Champs moved to 3-3. The loss to Forrest was Cascade's first district tilt of the season.
Another tough week looms ahead for Cheatham and the Lady Rockets as they take on MTCS Monday at home before travelling to Lincoln County Thursday for games versus Class AAA opponents Shelbyville at 5pm followed by Riverdale (17-3) in the opening round of the Battle Border Battle at Lincoln County High School.
Forrest moves over to the City Park in Fayetteville on Friday, continuing pool play games versus Hazel Green, Ala. and Warren County before bracket play ends the tourney on Saturday.
All three Marshall County softball teams will be competing in the Border Battle as Cornersville and MCHS both take the yellow bus ride to Fayetteville on Friday.
The undefeated Lady Dawgs take on Riverdale and Columbia Central at Lincoln County High School while the Tigerettes face Sparkman and Summertown at the City Park in Good Friday match-ups, beginning at 3pm.

With Our Busy Schedules, What Are Your 3 Valid Tips for Getting Dinner Ready in a Flash?
You know it is truly a miracle that everyday we can do what we as moms do. Who knew that all these modern conveniences would give us all the freedom to run around like chickens with our heads chopped off.
And now we get to have a contest, http://www.twittermoms.com/forum/topics/samsung-blogging-sweepstakes, to try and help each other out of some major daily hassle.
As for me, the dinner thing comes and goes in cycles. For a while I have it all under control. Then you know what hits the fan.
But all in all here are my three best proven tricks to help lesson the hassle of getting dinner on the table- and BTW I do make almost all dinners by scratch.
Best tip- have a menu for the week. You sit down once a week and get it done. No nonsense! Pick your main course, your veggies, carb, be sure to think about condiments and all that goes with the meal. Then put your grocery list together. And post your menu where EVERYONE can see it. Now follow it.
OK I know this is not exactly simple to get going. There are plenty of hassles that can get in the way. But here is the cool thing to do. My second tip- Find a site that has the recipes and use them.
My other favorite thing to smooth the dinner transition is to have the table set for dinner right after breakfast. No one leaves the house till the dinner table is set. This give everyone, including me, the understanding that dinner is valued in our house.
These are my fav ways to get dinner in the groove. Do you have a fav? I'd love to add them to my personal list. Just put in your comment and lets help each other out.
