(248) 614-2400, ext. 464 firstname.lastname@example.com Evelyn Gebhardt Marketing & PR Tel. : +49 6421 4870435 email@example.com Advanced CAE technology reduces time and costs for aircraft system structural analysis. TROY, Mich., (July 25, 2006) - Altair Engineering, Inc., a leading global provider of technology and services that strengthen client innovation and decision-making, announced today that Smiths Aerospace, UK, a leading transatlantic aerospace systems and equipment company, has selected the Altair® HyperWorks® CAE technology suite to support the development and structural analysis of their aircraft landing systems and components. Smiths selected HyperWorks to improve their engineering department's finite element modeling and visualization efficiency with Altair HyperMesh and plans to incorporate other HyperWorks tools, including HyperMorph® and OptiStruct® for interactive model morphing and structural optimization. "I realized that some of our pre- and post-processing limitations and unproductiveness were very similar to those I faced in prior roles," said Paul Fannon, chief stress engineer for Smiths Aerospace. "Having familiarity with HyperMesh and its ability to handle these problems, we benchmarked our incumbent solution to HyperMesh, which clearly showed HyperMesh to be the ideal tool to meet Smiths' needs. Another decisive factor in choosing HyperMesh was the fact that it will pay for itself in just five years because of the time it saves our engineers." Altair HyperMesh is a user-friendly, high-performance finite element pre- and post-processor for popular finite element solvers. It allows engineers to analyze product design performance in a highly interactive and visual environment. HyperMorph is a mesh manipulation tool that allows users to quickly parameterize models and stretch finite element meshes while keeping mesh distortion at a minimum. "We are very pleased that Smiths Aerospace has chosen the HyperWorks suite to streamline and improve their product design process," said Royston Jones, Ph.D., managing director of Altair Engineering, UK. "The Smiths Aerospace story is increasingly common. As companies strive to be more productive and to bring robust, well-designed products to market faster, they must integrate the most advanced CAE technology into their development process. The HyperWorks suite provides superior value and performance to manufacturers of highly engineered products, and we're delighted to have the opportunity to work with Smiths Aerospace, a recognized leader in the aerospace community." ### About Smiths Aerospace Smiths Aerospace is a leading global provider of innovative solutions to builders and operators of military and civil aircraft and engines - from fighters and transport planes to large civilian, regional and business jets.

Officers' Quarters: Surviving as a small guild {WoW}
Dec 20th 2010 3:47PM I am The GM of a guild of friends that all know eachother in real life. The guild was started in December 2004 and only has about 4 active members. As we hit the level cap of the current expansion, we leave our guild to join a fellow raiding guild. As people lose interest in the game, we always come back to the original guild. This expansion is the earliest people have started to leave. In the past, we have talked about leaving together but people are leaving just to get the extra rep that the raiding guild offers. People are even removing their alts for the 10% xp boost. We are not interested in recruiting new members because we recruit in real life, not in the game. I feel like we are being punished by Blizzard for playing the way we enjoy playing the game. If we stay, we are hurting ourselves. If we leave, we can never come back. I hope Blizzard reads some of these comments.

Steelseries WoW mouse not so wow-worthy? {WoW}
Jan 17th 2009 10:03PM Sorry for the long post, but if you've been thinking about this mouse..PLEASE READ!
I've had this mouse for about a month now and would like to share my input. After reading all the reviews online, I was reasonably excited to get this mouse. I had one pre orderd at my local GameStop and was there first thing that day to get it. My first impressions were not that great. It does feel very light and cheap but after a day or so of using it, I no longer noticed. I've spent hours trying to get a set up that feels natural with my play style.
I agree with the review at ign.com. They mentioned how there is a lot of trial and error and I fully support that. What I've found works the best is having similar buttons for each character profile.
Right now, each of my alts has a different profile. Those "hard to reach" buttons on the right side simply scroll through the profiles I have set up. The colored lights on the mouse match the class color of the profile I'm currently using. I use the two buttons next to the main right and left click buttons as quick reaction buttons that I don't normally have on my first few numbers on the actionbar (taunt for warriors and hammer of wrath for pallies.) Mouse button 4 and 5 are where you would expect them to be - on the left side. I use the "d pad" for other class specific items (shapeshifting on my druid.)
On the other hand, I too had the problem with a "sticky" right mouse button. I stopped using the mouse for a little over a week until I got a response back from Steel Series. "Lift the left & right click mouse button up with your finger nail
after half an inch until you hear a snap, then let go."
I did that and it seems to help temporarily which is great because I'm beginning to rely on the extra mouse buttons quite a bit. I've gotten into the habit of "snapping" the right click button whenever I have downtime and I've never had a problem since.
I went back to my GameStop to see if I could get a replacement. They told me they received an email saying that there was a known issue with the mice. They were told the future shipments wouldn't have the same problem and to replace the defective ones. Unfortunately, they aren't expecting anymore for several weeks.
Sorry for the long post. To wrap things up I would recommend reading the review at gear.ign.com. They had the closest experience to what I had. Oh...and don't use it for the macros, just set everything up to key presses and use an addon like Bartender4 to keybind all of your buttons.
Good luck!

Oh, my favorite time of year too, FLAG. Y'all, if ever you get near enough to East TX, you MUST stop to wander through FLAG's magical gardens. She's the most amazing woman I know - she does it ALL. I could pitch a tent and live in her garden. It's so peaceful, inspirational and energizing all at the same time. It takes several trips to see it all, and by the time you get back there, there's a whole lot more she's accomplished. I LOVE YOUR PLACE, FLAG!!! |

Oh my goodness,I've been there!!!And am I glad I have,Flag boy has everything come alive since then,if all your plants had been blooming like this I would have just moved in with you.Both of you fine ladies have beautiful places.I so envy your weather.In a mo all my flowers will be burned up and brown no matter how much I water.You are both amazing.It's such a joy to know you both. |
How lovely. I too could live in your garden, and you wouldn't even know I was there. What a magical place. |
Thanks to all of you. I wish all of you could make the trip and just hang out. I am so inspired with all of the green and blooms. I grouted most of the day today, besides doing some more tiles and bricks for the crazy path phase III. I started the concrete frog that I made feet for, finished the strawberry pot, will seal it tomorrow, grouted a broken flowerpot I mosaiced,and working on a few things in the studio. I went to my storage trailer Monday and found an old windchime that the strings had rotted out and brought it home and am covering the wood clapper and top etc with mosaic and will string beads on the monofilament. I guess I think I need a little more bling in my life! I am also working on a metal vase that I found at a ys. Covering it with mosaic flowers from old china. I will do a pic later of WIP. Tomorrow, I have to go pick up a lot of flamingo pink tile that a remodeler is tearing out of an old house here. The meter reader girl told me about it so I went over there and he said I could have all I wanted. So, I see a Riana flamingo in my future. I can't think of a better way to use retro tiles. Besides, all that, I am not doing much...later, thank you all again. Carol |
OMG Flag that is gorgeous!!! I'm going to steal your pond! I'm very new to TX gardening(CA desert transplant) and the last three years have been quite the gardening lesson! GRASS grows in to a VINE. Who'da thunk it??? I love the way your beds have lots of barrier between it and the grass. I also am guessing from the pics that you don't have a great deal of sod. I'm trying something new for me. A TX native,wildlife friendly xeriscape with a shallow water feature WITHOUT looking like an overgrown field. Wish me luck! PJ |
pj- Where are you in Texas. I would be glad to help you if I can, I have lots of plants I can divide with you to get you startwed, I don't have much to mow and try for less every year. I am like Slow in that we both have very high maintenance yards, I love it tho and thank you for the compliments. |
Thank you! My favorites are TX native plants. I like indigenous even better. I live in Benbrook TX(suburbs of FW) The garden I started here 3yrs ago was a new and difficult learning experience. I didn't know how important it was to put edging(under and above ground)between the grass and the flowers. I started with caliche soil that was solid weeds,overgrown hackberries IN the fence line, and foundation plantings that were above the roofline. Also, no mature trees. The Silver Maples had long since died. Here's the before and after. I'm moving to Burleson to a home with mature trees,at least SOME beds and OK sod (a requirement no more fixers!!!) I will have sandy soil with some loam. I like being outside and find gardening a great de-stresser!This is all organic except for very little round up I started using this year. |

Oh Flag, I musta spent an hour going thru all your pics...Eye Candy!!! |
Your garden is soooo beautiful. I really love all the different ways you display your succulents. I think that's one of the things I really like about succs - they are so very adaptable to all kinds of situations. Now I recall from a thread that you don't live too far from Slow and I was wondering about snow and stuff - do you have to move your succulents to prevent them from freezing? I have to keep mine protected b/c of all the frost I get here, usually move them under bushes or into the carport, and was wondering if you do the same. You really have a spectacular garden and I hope to see it one day!! Cait - missing America |

WOw. I forgot all about this conversation side again. Call me brain dead. , I love your gardens , they are so beautiful. we sure have very talented garden gurus along with mosaic artists.!!! Beautiful. thanks for sharing. And I love your rescue frog, he is going to be a keeper. |

What is embroidery? What is computerized embroidery? How is computerized embroidery made? Who buys computerized embroidery? What garments can you stitch with the embroidery machine? How Profitable Is Embroidery? This information presents a general picture on profitability. Embroiderers know that factors like quantity, garment material, the size and quality of the design, thread type and more will affect the time it takes to do a "job" and they adjust prices accordingly. How big is the machine that does the embroidery? What does the computer do in the embroidery process?
The computer has made intricate and complex embroidery available to the public on a scale never thought possible! When you press the start button, does the machine simply do all the stitching like a printer? Where do I learn computerized embroidery? Where do I get embroidery designs and what about name? Will the machine operate automatically so I can do other things while the machine runs? Can the business grow into something big? How much does it cost to get started? Do you offer financing?

A wimpy remake of an already anemic movie (the 1947 Rita Hayworth vehicle Down to Earth), this glitzy musical from 1980 improbably stars Olivia Newton-John as a heavenly muse sent here to help open a roller-derby disco. Gene Kelly is mixed up in this well-meaning but goofy effort to fuse nostalgia with late-'70s glitter-ball trendiness, and he looks just plain silly. Directed by Robert Greenwald, the film doesn't even work as decent kitsch. --Tom Keogh
Step into the magical world of Xanadu with this dazzling Special Edition of one of the most extraordinary musicals ever! Superstars Olivia Newton-John (Grease) and Gene Kelly (Singin' in the Rain) star in this beloved film spectacular about a beautiful muse who is sent from heaven to help a struggling artist open a roller-disco. And now, this out-of-this-world fantasy sparkles like never before with a digitally remastered picture, new 5.1 surround sound audio track, all-new bonus features, and a music CD of the complete soundtrack featuring Olivia Newton-John and the Electric Light Orchestra. With songs like "Xanadu", "Magic", "Suddenly", 'I'm Alive' and "All Over the World", it's a dream come true for musical fans everywhere!

While religious themes dominated early modern women's writing in England, women in Italy and France wrote about secular love as well. Some, such as Vittoria Colonna, Gaspara Stampa, and Louise Labé used the imagery of Petrarch's sonnets to speak of their own loves from a female point of view. Veronica Franco drew on the more overtly sexual tradition of Pietro Aretino and Latin verse to compose her sensual poetry. Tullia d'Aragona's dialogue about the nature of love responded to neo-Platonic writings such as Castiglione's The Courtier, while Marguerite de Navarre's Heptaméron used linked stories modeled on Boccaccio's Decameron to explore many types of love. All of these writers brought fresh perspectives to the dominant male traditions of love literature.
For her part, Vittoria Colonna was the first major poet to use Petrarchan love imagery from a female point of view. Her poems express longing and mourning for her husband, the soldier Francesco Ferrante d'Avalos, who died in 1525. Her poems circulated widely during her lifetime, and she gave a manuscript copy of her sonnets to her friend, Michelangelo.
Another Italian poet was Tullia d'Aragona, a high-class courtesan who moved in elite literary circles with writers such as Tasso and Aretino. Her Dialogue on the Infinity of Love is set in her own home, and imagines her debating the nature of love with her friend, poet Benedetto Varchi. She creates a complex persona, sometimes playing dumb or submissive, other times smart or arrogant, in an intellectual neo-Platonic game.
Gaspara Stampa's 311 poems were partly inspired by her unhappy love affair with Count Collaltino di Collalto. She also uses Petrarchan imagary of the cruel, disdainful dark lady, later also used by Shakespeare, but she inverts it to refer to her male lover. In the first poem she hopes other women will envy her for loving such a man. Stampa was educated in Latin and Greek and was a talented musician as well.
Like many of the women writing during this period, Lady Anne Southwell wrote both secular and religious works, and her manuscript miscellany contains both, as well as a list of books, receipts, and letters. It was compiled and written by various members of Southwell's household.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Bandit!
Facts about Bandit
- Breed: Boston Terrier/Chihuahua Mix
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Bandit's Info...
I am up to date with shots and good with kids.
Bandit was an owner surrender, no longer able to take care of him. He is a lively and sweet little dog looking for his forever home. His adoption fee is $125 fully vetted.
Other Pets at CHAT of Wakulla, Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bandit, a Crawfordville Boston Terrier/Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boston Terrier/Chihuahua for sale in Crawfordville, or seeking a Boston Terrier/Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Crawfordville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Crawfordville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Crawfordville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boston Terrier/Chihuahua breeders who help with Boston Terrier/Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Crawfordville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Good things cum to those who wait
A few years I was at a trade show in San Francisco. I know a lot of people in the industry -- have somewhat of a public profile, semifamous in the industry. As a result I get invited to a lot of dinners and the parties at night.
There are about 20 of us at dinner -- nothing special. Some friends vendors who were eager to tell me about their products. The person who put it together owned a marketing firm and she knows how to throw a good party. At the time, she employed several hot looking women. They showed up after we had finished eating. We ended up sitting around drinking, getting a good buzz for an hour or so when someone suggested we head over to one of the vendor's parties being held at one of the clubs. There was one particular girl I was hitting it off with. She was wearing a summer dress that was short enough to show a lot of leg. And she was showing plenty of cleavage. Imagine, blonde with glasses with an unbelievably gorgeous body. Sort of a cross between a stripper and a librarian. While we're sitting there, she's touching me a lot -- hand on the arm, "innocent" touches on the thigh. All the while, she's providing me with glimpses down her dress and dropping double entendres the entire time. We all head outside to get cabs -- it becomes clear I'm going to end up in a cab with all women. As we're getting in I lean over to the cab drive and tell him to take the real long way to the club and that I would take care of him. Sure enough, I'm in the backseat with a hot redhead sitting next to me with her skirt riding almost up to her crotch. What's better is that I have the blond sitting on my lap with my quickly hardening cock right between her ass cheeks. I whispeed to her that the cab driver was going to get lost on the way to the club. She kissed me in my ear and whispered back, "Sounds like fun," She then positioned herself so her hand was able to reach under her ass grabbing my cock. Meanwhile, I slid my right hand under her dress, teasing her as my fingers played their way across her thigh till they reached her pussy. Her underwear was soaking wet. She opened her legs a bit while I proceeded to slide my fingers inside her panties, finding her pussy. She came at least twice on the way to club. She was biting my ear, talking dirty, asking me if I wanted to lick her cunt and fuck her. We got to the club, and the redhead asked the blonde if I was any good -- She responded, "I wasn't acting." We get into the club and we're all dancing. The redhead starts dancing with me, and it's getting dirty. I've got her with her back to me, her ass in my crotch, my hands on her tits, with the blonde behind me rubbing her body all over me while we're dancing. The blonde, after a while, whispers to me that I should take care of the redhead, as long as came back to her that night. So, I take the redhead to get a drink and we end up on one of the couches upstairs in the corner. She sits on my lap -- she's wearing one of these tight blouses and a short tan skirt -- and no underwear. She unbuttons her blouse enough so I can see her tits which were rock hard.My one hand, meanwhile, finds her pussy and begins to play. Pretty soon, my finger is sliding in and out fucking her pussy. Being drunk and horny, she came with an explosive orgasm. So here I am, I've made two girls cum (one twice) in the space of an hour, and I'm still rock hard. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to get my shot.... It took a few hours, but later that night, the blonde and I fucked the night away in a suite in the W -- It was mindblowing. I'm maybe good for two times, but this girl made me cum 4 times -- once in her ass. |

(194) Revlon ColorStay Nail Enamel - Rain Forest
Rain Forest is one of the most gorgeous green nail polishes I own. It's an amazing emerald green colour with green glitter, it's such a rich colour and I love how it looks on my nails. The thing that makes this nail polish really special is that the glitter doesn't sit on the surface it's almost embedded in the colour. The Revlon Colorstay nail polish have a great gel finish and I have to say it's actually very easy to remove unlike other glitter polishes I've used before.
I think it's the perfect colour for Autumn/Winter and I recently featured this in my Fall favourites nail video but thought it was such a gorgeous colour it deserved it's own post. I tried to take the pictures in the natural light so you get to see what it really looks like.
What have you been loving lately?

(193) Fall Favourites Nail Edition Video
Hey guys hope you are all having a great start to the weekend! I know I am, I am back home in London and there's something so comforting about being home and surrounded by all my family and friends.. Ahh I've missed them! I posted this video in the week on my Fall favourite nail polishes, if you are a nail lover - This is one for you! Some of the colours are great I had such difficulty choosing which colours to paint my nails so I did actually wear them multi coloured for a bit haha! As always for full description on the products mentioned open in YouTube.
Also check out my dripping Chanel T-shirt i'm wearing in the video, I love it! It was sent to me by Studded Petals you should defo take a look at the online store HERE.
Hope you are all well, Speak soon.

(192) Burberry Lip Velvet #310 Military Red
I used to think YSL lipsticks were the slickest thing a woman could whip out of her make up bag, all that changed when Burberry came along. Can we just focus on the packaging for a second? So sexy, sleek and so sophisticated. I love the matte black finish to the packaging and how can we forget the magnetic lid - #totesamaze
Military Red is divine, I genuinely believe a woman can never have enough red lipstick and this is the greatest addition to my collection. How beautiful is the embossed Burberry print on the lipstick, it's almost too pretty to use (Thank god for my trustee lip brush!)
The texture is smooth, moisturising and the finish is out of this world. I've been wearing lip stains so much that I forgot how different a lipstick can feel and look on the lips. It's long lasting and this shade of red is perfect, not too deep, not too dark - Just Right!
I adore this shade and it makes the ultimate companion for the colder days, nothing can lift your mood like a red lipstick.
Loving Military Red (310) at the moment, I featured it in my last YouTube video and have been wearing it since. Check it out HERE.

(191) Liz Earle Botanical Essence No.15
This month saw the release of the new Liz Earle's new fragrance No.15 I was pretty excited to try this as I've been loving the extensions to the Liz Earle brand. I was really impressed with the Liz Earle make up line which launched earlier this year, the blusher in 'Peony' was surprisingly one of my most enjoyed products of the Summer (See HERE).
I was sent No.15 to try and I have to say it's gorgeous, it's the perfect scent to transition over to Autumn/Winter. I find No.15 to be quite feminine with a hint of masculinity - very sexy! This fragrance is made up of fifteen botanicals which have been blended together to create this unique, spicy, warm yet fresh scent. This fragrance is an Eau de Parfum, which lasts long on the skin and I really love how the scent develops and changes throughout the day - it's beautiful.

(190) Leaves & Tuileries
Paris is in the summer really is sensational - let's not dwell! Autumn is definitely one of my favourite season for getting cosy and appreciating the little things in life, such as walking through the leaves in Tulieries. It is definitely the season for jackets again and I know if I'm not wrapped up warm I can't enjoy the beauty of the city that currently surrounds me. It's been a rainy few weeks in Paris, but today the sun was out the chill in the air is so bittersweet!
I took this picture of the sun setting at place de Concorde during the week on Instagram and really the sight just takes my breath away.
Sorry for the lack of posts again this week I have been so busy, be sure to follow my daily adventures through my Instagram and Twitter.
More soon

(188) AskHerfriends.com
I've always been quite lucky with the man in my life and his choice in gifts - he always gets it right. I have to admit though, the other men I'm around always struggle when it comes to understanding 'what women want'. When I was contacted by 'AskHerFriends.com' I knew I'd found a great site to recommend to the guys I know. I actually tested the website with my brother who filled out the Idea Map and he was really surprised to find the choice of gifts were spot on to the liking of his girlfriend. Whether you're shopping for a female friend or your long term partner 'AskHerFriends.com' has a great selection of products from all categories that caters to your pockets. I love the selection of great companies that 'AskHerFriends' has included on their online gift guide such as Selfridges, Harrods and even Amazon. Now within a few clicks you can find her the perfect gift. I think I'll be using this even to generate great gift ideas for friends of mine.
Here are some of my favourites I picked out from the site, with my birthday and Christmas just round the corner I know I'd love to receive some of these. Especially the Christian Lacroix notebook (I'm a sucker for stationery!)
Top L-R
Bobbi Brown Brush Kit -
Chanel NO 19
Apple iPad
Dragonfly Bracelet
Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Candle
Bottom L-R
Christian Lacroix Notebook
Illamasqua Empower Palette
Dior Vernis
Sex and the City DVD Boxset
WAH Nails - Book of Nail Art
If you are struggling with finding that perfect gift you have to check out AskHerFriends.com and in particular the Idea Map and see how spot on it is! I tried it for myself and now I have an even bigger online wish list.
Happy Shopping

(187) Illamasqua - Creator
I initially blogged about Illamasqua's 'Creator' when I wrote about the Generation Q launch, HERE I have since worn this nail polish a few times and realised I didn't actually upload any pictures of this gorgeous nail polish. I have been wearing it on my nails for a few days now and I love it. It is the perfect nail polish for this time of the year, when days get darker and the weather gets colder.
Now that the sunshine is really, truly hidden away why not let the dark skies and the stars come out to play - And this is exactly what this nail polish reminds me of. It's so cosmic, space and galactic like and is definitely a sparklier alternative to simple black nails. For me it is one of my favourite colours of AW so far, it's so magical!
Illamasqua nail polishes never fail to amaze me the quality is great and the consistency is perfect. I find that with 'Creator' two coats is sufficient and this has honestly lasted days on my nails.
Loving this right now! Check 'Creator' out HERE

(186) Diptyque - Figuier
Autumn is definitely here the last week in Paris has been wet and miserable. I'm usually out in the evenings with my friends in this gorgeous city but tonight I've traded that to snuggle under my duvet and catch up on my TV shows. I have one of my all time favourite candles burning Diptyque - Figuier the scent to me is Autumn, It's fresh and reminds me of the outdoors and the rain. There's something really warm and mysterious about Figuier. My friend Florence bought this for me on her recent visit to Paris as a housewarming gift, it came at such a great time as my last one had just finished. I love Diptyque - the candles, the fragrances and the room sprays. I have to admit the store in Saint-Paul, Le Marais is one of my favourite places it smells divine. There's something about being in Paris and burning a Diptyque candle that makes me feel so Parisian.
Check out some of their gorgeous candles HERE.

(185) Poker Straight
Hey I'm not sure if you guys have watched my latest video but recently I dyed my hair back to black. Personally black hair is just so easy and effortless for me I don't have to worry about things like the roots or the colour fading. Since I've gone back to black I have been wearing my hair poker straight for a lot of the time. I am not really into poker games like the ones being featured on ESPN but this hair makes me feel like a high roller at the casino. It's so on trend for AW and I'm loving it at the moment.

(184) September Favourites Video
Hey guys I've been terrible at keeping up with blogging and YT lately apologies! Hope you are all well!? This month I didn't think I had many favourites to share as September just sped past however when I started to gather my products for filming I realised that there were quite a lot. I really re-discovered some old favourites - Don't you just love it when that happens!? As always open in YouTube for more information on the products mentioned. I am hoping to film a few more videos for you all this week so fingers crossed for that.
I'm thinking Current skincare routine/Fall favourites?!
Enjoy, Lots of Love
(183) Astrid & Miyu
For those of you who regularly read or watch my videos you will know how much I adore accessories, especially jewellery. I was recently sent some beautiful items from Astrid and Miyu and I knew I had to share them with you.
Love at First Sight Ring
I fell in love with this ring the moment I saw it (how apt!) I am such a huge fan of rose gold and this ring was perfect! the shape, the setting of the stones, the delicacy - Oh my it's just so pretty. I love how it sits and I think it's so unusual. For someone with small hand this ring really elongates my fingers and looks so elegant. I also realised my friend Tali has this ring (Great minds!) we really do have such similar taste!
Pink Martini
To compliment the ring and all my other rose gold jewellery I chose the Pink Martini earings. I wear studs on a daily basis but I had been struggling to find a rose gold pair that were right, you know me I still love a bit of bling so as soon as I saw these I knew they were ideal. These are so sophisticated, yet so simple and even though I always wear my hair down you can still catch a glimpse of the rose gold and all the sparkle.
Astrid and Miyu have a beautiful selection of jewellery for every occasion, it was really hard to decide what to pick. Check out their site HERE.

(182) Araisara SS13 PFW
Wednesday was such a grey, rainy day in Paris. It was so horrible that I ended up missing two shows that I was meant to go to because I got absolutely soaked in the rain - as a result I was wet and miserable, even with my trustee brolly. One of the shows I happened to miss was the Elie Saab show which I was meant to go to with Audrey. Nevertheless I headed to the Araisara show and really enjoyed it. This was her first collection in Paris and I liked everything about it, the fabrics, the prints, the styling I felt you could really see the Japanese influence in the garments. I felt the colours were pretty dark for SS13 but so me, I find it hard to stray away from black and it seems black is key to the Araisara collection. It was the perfect show to conclude Paris Fashion Week. it's been a busy week but great because I've had lots of friends make up artists etc in town but part of me is glad it's over -it's been so hectic. There's something about fashion week in Paris that just feels so right, I'm glad I was able to experience some of it. Until next season..

Looking for some help for my friend, who recently adopted a dog from a rescue group. Eliza (dog) is a 10 month old spayed female. She is half Norwegian Elk Hound and half Austraian cattle dog. She is a sweet dog but is causing major damage in my friend's house. They have a crate for her, she has a fenced in back yard, but they sometimes keep her confined in a small area near their panty/back door because she doesn't like the crate. When confined in the small area she has dug 2 large holes in the plaster walls, apparently almost through to the outside. Is there anything that can be done to prevent this digging? Eliza is not happy in the crate, but she cannot have free unsupervised reign in the house due to the potential damage. Will she grow out of this? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for any assistance
Abbey |
Follow-Up Postings:
Your friend needs to talk to a vet or even better a board-certified behavior specialist. This type of behavior is indicative of a very stressed dog and will lead to a break in the human-dog bond, which inevitably leads to a dead dog. Nobody can, nor can they be expected to, tolerate such destructive behavior. And how do you think the dog feels to end up doing this type of damage? It must be scared out of its mind- literally! The dog needs help, in the form of probably medications, definitely with behavior modification. Be forewarned, these are very difficult cases and require a LOT of time, energy, and money to resolve. There is no magic pill. There is no magic training course. It will take a lot of effort. If the dog is truly sweet and otherwise a great dog, she may well be worth the effort. Frankly Norwegian Elk Hounds and Australian Cattle dogs are both very active breeds, both require an incredible amount of exercise both mentally and physically, and neither breed is a good match for every family. If the dog's needs can't be matched she will continue to exhibit these destructive behaviors. I hope your friend is really committed to making the dog well. It's a big commitment but it seems like she is trying to make things work. I wish her well. |
Thank you Meghane for your honest reply. My friend and her daughter love the dog very much, and have tried the exercise route, although perhaps not enough. She seems to be very needy and wants to be with them all the time, which is not possible. My friend has talked to her vet, who didn't want to prescribe any medication, but I will tell my friend to look into a behavior specialist. I know she will give it all she can to help this dog. Thanks again. |

Besides the lots of exercise that this breed needs, have they worked on making the crate a positive place to be? I recommend that people save high value, special toys and chews just for use in crates. Kongs filled with frozen canned dog food is a good activity for crates. And leave the door always open so they can use the crate as a place to hide and nap or sleep. And to feed in the crate and give treats in the crate so that the crate becomes a nice place, not a scary place that the dog just associates with her owners leaving. But if they're leaving her in there for a very long time or very often and on top of this, not providing sufficient outlets for the dog's energy, a crate will become a negative place almost no matter how you try to build it up as a positive place. Also, if the dog can get reach out and destroy things outside of the crate, it sounds like they need one that doesn't have such a large grid or holes. That's dangerous. If they're gone for a long time for work and such, cage free and SUPERVISED doggie daycare is a wonderful place for most dogs. Or AT LEAST they should invest in a dog walker. |
Until you can train the dog and properly walk it (this mixed breed needs alot of stimulation - lots of walks, lots of learning stupid pet tricks. Buy a harness (take the dog to get fitted) while buying the harness - buy a cable run... Tie one end ot the cable to a fence or a tree, put on rolling hook, tie other end to tree or fence (needs to be sturdy tree or fence) put harness on dog, clip cable to run, provide water and shelter. Next *the most imprtant* everytime your buddy gets up in the morning he takes the dog for a walk. Everytime someone comes home they take the dog for a walk. In between walking the dog, they teach the dog stupid pet tricks...everyday, each day, walks AT LEAST A HOUR, stupid pet tricks AT LEAST AN HOUR - cant commit??? Take the dog back or it is going to go insane (no joke) |
Thanks for all of the helpful hints. They are very much appreciated. Eliza does get walked at least an hour a day. She also spends time in a fenced in back yard. She is walked on a gentle leader? I think it is called. I will tell my friend about the stupid pet tricks. I also got her the name of a trainer so I am hoping that will help also. Abbey |

"This recipe was a hit even with those who thought they didn't like stuffed peppers. Everyone loved it and said how filling it was. My daughter and I could only eat half and we were stuffed.:) I am sure we will have this again. Thank you"
"This is wonderful. My daughter and I have had 1 a day. Now we add a little more ice and caramel Macchiato creamer for a richer flavor instead of milk. Thank you for submitting this recipe."
"Wonderful soup! I will be making this again,thank you."
"My Family loved this gumbo. I changed it just a bit. I used brown quick cooking rice, 1 can of seasoned okra,a total of 2 cans chicken broth instead of water and bouillon, and last I used dear sausage.This was a quick and easy, great tasting recipe, we will have it again."
"I picked this recipe because it had smokey bones before it. I had never had their stew, but like smokey bones. It was OK and we will finish leftovers at another time, but it just didn't suit our tastes."
"These were great. I changed them just a bit. I used parkay spray butter to taste with water to cook in. Didn't have red onion, used white, and used Splenda brown sugar.I also used turkey bacon. I thew everything in pan and cooked. YUMMY! My daughter who didn't like Lima beans loved them. Thank you."
"This recipe lives up to every star. We loved it. I used my electric chopper for the veggies which made it faster. I also used packet brown gravy,and for the chicken stock I used the turkey drippings, with the fat skimed off the top. Last I used the green beans as suggested by another cook, water and all. It was great and I will make it again. Than..."
"This was very easy and good. Great with coffe. I used egg subsitute, and instead of oil used pam. I have made this twice. One time as directed and one time I used a powder sugar glaze in stead of adding brown sugar or cinnamon. Both very good, but glaze our favorite."
"This was great. I did use can carrots that were leftover and celery instead of leeks.Don't like mushrooms so skipped them Also added about 1/2 tea. garlic powder to chicken broth. Didn't have poultry seasoning so used crushed rosemary in it's place. I think it will be better even the second day cause it thickens more as it cools. It's yummy, thank..."
"This was good. I was wanting tortilla Soup, but didn't have much time. This was just what I needed. I used 2 cans of rotel tomatoes instead of stewed. I also added corn and bleck beans. 1 can each."

A jury sentenced a man to life in prison Wednesday for his role in a series of random nighttime shootings that unnerved metropolitan Phoenix in 2005 and 2006.
Jury pool for Dieteman narrowed to 40
Jury: Serial killer can get death sentence
Samuel Dieteman, who pleaded guilty to two of six murders in the Serial Shooter case, appeared stoic as the jury's decision was announced. His lawyer put his arm around him.
Asked by the judge if he had anything to say after the sentencing, Dieteman looked down and said he couldn't think of anything. Then he said, "I'm truly sorry for the pain that I've caused to many, many people."
Authorities say Dieteman and his former roommate preyed on pedestrians, bicyclists and animals in attacks that ended in August 2006 when both men were arrested at the apartment they shared in Mesa.
Prosecutors had argued against a life sentence for Dieteman. His lawyers asked jurors to consider his testimony as a key witness against his former roommate, Dale Hausner, who received six death sentences earlier this year.
Testimony at Dieteman's sentencing trial included a written apology from Dieteman to a victim in which he said he would make "no cries for mercy." He also said he regretted his actions, including not turning in Hausner to authorities when he first learned of the shootings.
"There's so many things I would change back then," he told jurors.
Dieteman's attorneys had argued that making Dieteman spend the rest of his life behind bars would be punishment enough. While Hausner's attorneys had accused Dieteman of giving bad information to avoid the death penalty, Dieteman said he wanted to help punish Hausner.
Prosecutors, on the other hand, called Dieteman's cooperation too little, too late. They painted him as a drifter who was a willing participant, pulling the trigger and serving as Hausner's lookout during attacks that wounded dogs, horses and 17 people.

[featuredcakes] I use a cookie recipe similar to the NFSC on this site (it's just a smaller batch size). The icing I use is similar to Toba's Glace: 3 cups sifted powdered sugar, 3 T. skim milk, 3T. corn syrup, 15 drops brite white food color. Mix the milk and syrup into the powdered sugar until fully combined. Add the brite white and mix well. Divide and color. Keep the unused icing covered. Concerning the cookies: The tail is made by using a sunflower cookie cutter (approx. 3.25" across) and trimming off the bottom portion so it will sit straight on the base cookie. The base cookie is a 3" round. The head is peanut shaped. If you have my cutter kit, this is one of the mini-cutters. If you don't have the kit, cut a piece of dough that is about 5/8"x1.5" and press into the peanut shape. Directions:1. Using a #4 tip, outline the tail cookie in brown icing and immediately fill in with more icing in a zig zag pattern. (See photo) Smooth the icing with an offset spatula and move immediately to the next step.
2. Using a #4 or #5 tip, pipe a thick band of red icing onto the tail, then a band of orange icing, and then a band of yellow icing. (See photo). Move immediately to the next step.
3. Drag a toothpick thru the icing, starting at a point on the top of the cookie (one of the points) and pulling down to the bottom. Repeat for each pointed end of the cookie, cleaning the toothpick after each drag. Now drag the toothpick in the opposite direction (moving from inside the band to the outside of the cookie) between each of the previous drags. (See photos). I know this is confusing...that's why a picture is worth a thousand words!
4. Ice the head of the turkey in brown (I use a #2 tip for this) and let dry. 5. Smooth brown icing onto a large marshmallow and set it aside to dry on some waxed paper. (If you don't want to mess with icing a marshmallow, you could use a chocolate covered caramel or mini-reese's for the "body").
6. Once the head has set, add two dots of white icing for the eyes, a yellow beak, and a red wattle. (I use a #1 tip for these details. Make sure your icing isn't too thin). Add a dot of black to each of the eyes. 7. Once all the pieces have dried, assemble the 3D cookie using melted chocolate CandyMelts as your "glue". (If you prefer, royal icing can be ued).

Dude...Utah has everything you're looking for and way more. If you don't like Park City you have 11 more resorts to choose from, all right next to each other. SLC has pretty good public transportation. Best snow/powder in the country and some of the best terrain. What else do you need?

I'd suggest Solitude out here in Utah. Especially if you come mid-week, it seriously seems like nobody is there, and you can hit light pow/tree runs all day long. Snowbird is also alot of fun. As long as your here mid-week, resorts aren't that crowded.

Yah I know, it's just that I know I can't go from 500 foot vertical drop to Alaska. I wanna cheap and relaxing trip. Alaska is for later, when I get a little powder riding under my belt. Not SLC but Park City. I just want a more secluded place. I probably will go there eventually but I just don't think I like it right now. I have never been there so I can't judge, but from the pictures and trail maps I like schweitzer better because it seems bigger and less glades.

Park City proper does get some crowds, and on a good pow day or a Saturday you're going to battle some chairlift lines in the morning no matter where you go that's just the way it is. Stay away from the main/base-area lifts at lunch time and you'll be OK.

Also.. I don't really see how a small not well known mountain is going to do you any good.. only the major ones are going to have a shuttle service. Maybe hit under the radar places once you're old enough to rent a vehicle.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lune!
Facts about Lune
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Lune's Info...
I am already spayed, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Lune and her sister Soleil are sweet country girls. They came to us very under-weight and with dull coats, but now living a healthier and happier existence!! They have made some awesome strides since coming into the rescue! Lune is the darker colored one of the two, and is slightly larger than her sister. Both are very sweet with people and do well with other dogs. They're affectionate, sweet and loving companions that would love to have forever homes of their own.
Soleil has been adopted and now Lune is ready for a home of her own, too!
Lune is good with older kids, but due to her herding instincts, young children may not be a good idea.
Other Pets at Circle of Friends Animal Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lune, a Greensboro German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Greensboro, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in Greensboro.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Greensboro already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Greensboro breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Greensboro paves the way for another one to be saved.

Feb 3, 2010 |
Appendicitis is a relatively uncommon disease, but it has serious and potentially life-threatening consequences if not treated quickly. It will affect about 7 percent of Americans in their lifetime.
The appendix is a long, blind pouch that is attached to the large intestine. It is normally located in the right lower region of the abdomen. Its formal name is the "vermiform" appendix, meaning it looks like a worm. The size of an average appendix is about four inches in length and three-eights of an inch in diameter.
Scientists still debate the purpose of the appendix. It has been called a vestigial organ, a structure that has lost its useful function in the human body, because a person can live normally once their appendix is taken out. Some think it may be significant as our bodies grow during fetal development. Others argue that it plays a role in immunity because it contains some immune or lymph tissue. Still others maintain that it is vital for the survival of normal bacteria in the colon.
Appendicitis means the appendix is inflamed. The presumed cause is that something has blocked its opening to the colon. Often this is from a fecalith, or hardened stool, and less commonly, from a foreign body or a tumor.
Appendicitis is most common between the ages of 10 and 30 years, with a peak in the late teens. Males are slightly more predisposed than females. The very young and those over 70 years of age are more likely to die from rupture of the appendix due to a delay in diagnosis.
An individual who is developing appendicitis may begin with vague symptoms, not unlike those of a stomach bug. These include: loss of appetite, nausea, generalized stomach pain and cramps, or pain around the belly button. As the inflammation progresses, pressure builds up in the appendix. There is usually more severe pain, particularly in the right lower abdomen, fever, vomiting and, at times, abdominal swelling or diarrhea.
It is important to keep in mind that there are many other organs and body structures in the vicinity of the appendix. This is why appendicitis is often missed. Conditions with symptoms similar to that of appendicitis include bowel and bladder infections, kidney stones, ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cysts and muscle strains, to name just a few.
When the physician examines the patient, there is usually a fever and tenderness in the right lower abdomen. There may also be tensing of the abdominal muscles when pushing on the abdomen or rigidity of the abdomen.
Depending on the findings of the physical examination, the doctor may order imaging tests, such as an X-ray, ultrasound or CT scan. A particularly useful laboratory test is the CBC, or complete blood count. This test looks for an elevation in the white blood cells, a signal of infection in the body.
Surgical removal of the appendix is the only treatment for acute appendicitis. This should be done as soon as possible to prevent perforation of the appendix. If the appendix ruptures, the infection can spread throughout the entire abdominal cavity.
Every person is unique and not all will have symptoms that are exactly as expected. Therefore, it is important to listen to your body and seek prompt medical attention when appropriate. Many a normal appendix has been removed in the name of "sound medical practice." It's generally better to be safe, than sorry.

I spoke to someone today who hates their job. Like many people, about 50% I'd say, they fell into their career by accident. They have 2 young children and commute 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. Not what you would call 'quality of life' or 'work life balance' or 'job satisfaction'. When they had decided to do something about it and end the misery, you could hear the lightness in their voice. They said having made the decision; they could feel themselves smiling more. Read more on Want To Plan Your Escape??…

Hi all--
We want to create a simple, modern entry door with a slab (not panels) and a single tall lite. I found a great source of glass inserts that we can use, from Crestview Doors: http://www.crestviewdoors.com/door-lite-kit-parkway.html Here is the kit: Here is an example of it installed in a door: I have tried all kinds of door shops on the Internet, and suppliers such as TM Cobb, and can't find any SIMPLE slab exterior door. We need 7' x 3', with a 7 1/3" jamb, pre-hung. Anybody have ideas on where I can find this? Thanks! |

- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Tue, Nov 22, 11 at 0:13
80" is a standard height door. 96" is a standard height door. 84" is non standard. A custom woodworker or cabinetry shop should be able to put something together for you. |
- Posted by millworkman (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Nov 22, 11 at 9:06
Go to a lumber yard and ask for a 1 3/4" thick Stave Core Birch Door, it will be a solid lumber core door that this type of lite kit will work perfectly in. I would definitely recommend getting a STAVE core door as opposed to a standard solid core door as the std solid core door will have a particle board core which will not hold up outdoors. As such even a Stave Core door will be veneered and it will be important to keep it properly finished and protected so it does not delaminate. |

Hi, Can you help me solve a fly infestation? Unfortunately if I can't get rid of the flies then I don't think I can keep a veggie patch on the balcony. I recently started a small herb garden in one of these self watering containers: http://www.bunnings.com.au/products_product_decor-terracotta-oblong-sorrento-self-watering-plastic-pot_P2940269.aspx?filter=categoryname--Garden+Pots I water it daily from the top, and the bottom hadn't overflowed. I've used some potting mix + compost made from a Bokashi composter (doesn't fully compost, but breaks it down & ferments): http://www.bokashi.com.au/bokashi-one-composting/bokashi-one-composting/ I've been watering the plants using the Bokashi "juice" (diluted 1:100) as recommended. Problem is, the last few days flies have accumulated around the pot (see attached photo or click link): http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151534606719810&set=a.10150343542304810.406454.769989809&type=1&theater The photo's a bit rubbish but there are heaps of flie scrawling all over it, and if I lift it up there are a bunch underneath. I think the Bokashi juice is suspect because it's started to smell pretty putrid, which doesn't seem right & isn't how i used to smell. Any ideas about what caused the flies to infest & what to do about it?? -Brendan |

I think there is no doubt your compost is attracting flies. I would contact the supplier and ask, what am I doing wrong, to cause this problem. Al |
