Early career researcher activities
The CRC held a two day workshop for our early career researchers in December, covering research translation, data quality and analysis and communication skills.
As part of the workshops, early career researchers worked together to develop a pitch for new collaborative projects which used the outcomes of their current research. Congratulations to PhD students Cassandra Wannan (UoM) and Sabine Bird (UWA) on their winning pitch, which combined Sabine's research interest in the role of hormones in cognition as it relates to Alzheimer's disease with Cassandra's research interest in the role of brain structure in treatment resistant schizophrenia.
Early career researchers also visited a Mercy Health's aged care facility, continuing our highly successful knowledge exchange project. The early career researchers provided information on their work, while also spending time interacting with staff and residents of the facility gaining a deep understanding of the aged care sector and how Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and psychoses can present in an aged are setting. The CRC was represented in an exceptional manner by Tenielle Porter, Eugene Hone and Florence Lim from Edith Cowan University, David Skvarc from Barwon Health, Sabine Bird from University of Western Australia and Edith Drajkopyl from the University of Melbourne supported by industry partner Cogstate. We wish to thank Mercy Health's staff who continue to provide an insightful experience during our visits.
Holiday period
From all at the CRC for Mental Health, we'd like to wish you a safe, happy and healthy holiday. We look forward to working with you in 2015.
Please note out offices will be closed from 24 December – 5 January.
New scanner will enable more detailed brain imaging
CRC researchers have commenced a new project, using the only two whole body 7-Tesla MRI scanners in the southern hemisphere. The project will use the ultra-high field scanners to investigate metals and proteins in the brain which could be involved in Alzheimer's disease, with possible extension into other disease areas.
The CRC project involves collaboration with CSIRO, the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, Austin Health and the University of Melbourne.
Launching one of the scanners at the University of Melbourne, Senator the Hon Scott Ryan (Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Education) said, "The 7T whole body MRI will provide researchers in Australia with access to world leading imaging technology". We're very pleased to be able to count CRC researchers among those using this cutting edge technology.

CRC Project Leader A/Prof Elizabeth Scarr named in 100 Women of Influence
Associate Professor Elizabeth Scarr has been announced as a winner in The Australian Financial Review and Westpac 100 Women of Influence Awards for 2014. Associate Professor Scarr has been recognised in the Innovation category for her contribution to the understanding and treatment of schizophrenia.
"Improving the quality of life for people with schizophrenia is an essential task for Australian society and science," said Associate Prof Scarr, who is a program leader at the Cooperative Research Centre for Mental Health and the Department of Psychiatry in the University of Melbourne.
"Schizophrenia affects around 285,000 Australians, and about 30% of those people do not respond to currently available treatments. My research seeks to improve our understanding of the condition and develop new treatments which enable more people with schizophrenia to live independent lives."
Now in its third year, the 100 Women of Influence Awards celebrate outstanding women from a wide variety of sectors across Australia. There are ten categories: Board/Management, Public Policy, Young Leader, Social Enterprise and Not-for-profit, Philanthropy, Global Influence, Innovation, Local/Regional Community, Diversity and Business Enterprise. Entrants into the awards were assessed by a panel of esteemed judges and have been recognised based on their outstanding ability to demonstrate vision, leadership, innovation and action in and beyond their fields.
Gail Kelly, Westpac Group Chief Executive Officer said, "The breadth and calibre of our 100 Women of Influence for 2014 is remarkable.
"It is such a privilege to be able to recognise and celebrate the outstanding contributions these women are making to Australia. The 2014 winners will join the now 300 strong, prestigious alumni of these awards.
"With over 40% of leadership roles at Westpac filled by females, I am fortunate to be surrounded by inspirational women every day. We are blessed to have such great numbers of influential women doing incredible things in many industries and organisations right across Australia.
Fairfax Media CEO Greg Hywood said: "This year's 100 Women of Influence join a growing movement that is changing our society for the better in a myriad of ways. Thanks and congratulations to everyone for the contribution they are making.
"Many of this year's finalists were nominated by men. It's a powerful development to see men wholeheartedly supporting women across all the categories. In order to move the dial, more men need to step up and take an active interest, alongside women, in addressing gender equality."
On Wednesday 22 October, a gala event will be held at Sydney's Town Hall to celebrate these women and the significant impact that each has made within their chosen field. The ten category winners and overall winner for the year will also be announced on the evening.

Chief Scientific Officer wins Victoria prize for Science and Innovation
The 2014 Victoria Prize for Science and Innovation in Life Sciences has been awarded to Professor Ashley Bush for his outstanding contributions to the field of translational neuroscience.
The award recognises Professor Bush's work exploring how key proteins and metals interact to contribute to degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
Victorian Innovation Minister Louise Asher in announcing the prize said, "Professor Bush is internationally renowned for his outstanding body of work on translational neuroscience, which has included findings on the cause of Alzheimer's disease and the importance of metal biology in degenerative brain diseases."
Professor Bush is the Chief Scientific Officer of the Cooperative Research Centre for Mental Health, providing scientific oversight and advice on the CRC's research into mental health diseases, psychoses and mood disorders. He is also Director of the Oxidation Biology Unit at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, and an NHMRC Australia Fellow.

Cogstate provides PhD scholarship
Cogstate Ltd, a commercial enduser participant of the CRC, is increasing its contribution to the CRC by providing an industry PhD scholarship. Edith Drajkopyl will be supported by the scholarship to work on the project "Concussion in sport".
Professor Paul Maruff, Cogstate's Chief Scientific Officer, said "Concussions that occur in sports are important health issues; they have significant consequences for mental health and have even been linked to dementia. However, there has been very little systematic study of this injury. Edith is a talented young scientist and Cogstate has been actively involved in assisting sporting organisations with their concussion management programs. Our partnership with the CRC for Mental Health now provides an incredible foundation for Edith's work to significant contributions to understanding this important issue."
This scholarship adds to the substantial contribution Cogstate makes to the CRC's education program, providing students with advice and guidance on cognitive testing, as well as access to the company's cognitive tests.
For more information about Cogstate, visit cogstate.com

Public event – Thinking ahead: Embedding research in aged care
Monday 16 June
6:30 – 8:00pm
The University Club of Western Australia
Entrance #1, Hackett Drive, Crawley
How does Australia's aged care system benefit from the latest scientific research? What are the opportunities for the future?
James Lush from ABC Radio 720 Perth will host this panel discussion presented by the CRC for Mental Health. Bringing together researchers, clinicians, and aged care experts, the event will explore how scientific research can be embedded in the aged care system.
Speakers include:
- Prof Ashley Bush (CRC for Mental Health)
- Prof Ralph Martins AO (McCusker Alzheimer's Research Foundation, Edith Cowan University)
- W/Prof Assen Jablensky (University of Western Australia)
- Prof Fran McInerney (Mercy Health)
The event is free of charge, and all are welcome.
This event took place in June 2014. Information on the event is available here.
Dr Blaine Roberts awarded prestigious Challenge grant
Date: May 2014
Dr Blaine Roberts has been awarded a prestigious international grant for his research into the validation of a developmental blood test for Alzheimer's disease. The $140,000 Challenge Grant is awarded by the Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Initiative at the New York Academy of Sciences in partnership with the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation. Dr Roberts' will undertake the research at the Florey Institute for Neuroscience and Mental Health, in conjunction with the CRC for Mental Health.
Dr Roberts' team has identified three plasma proteins with potential application as biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease. The researchers will test the association of these proteins with amyloid plaques in the brain. They hope to develop a test that could diagnose Alzheimer's disease 15 to 20 years before the appearance of symptoms. This would significantly reduce the cost of patient recruitment for clinical trials, and help identify potential therapies to treat those individuals who are most likely to progress to disease in the future.
For more information, please see Florey Institute news here.
CRC for Mental Health submission to review of mental health services and programmes
Date: April 2014
In March 2014, the Australian Government asked the National Mental Health Commission to conduct a national Review of Mental Health Services and programmes. The terms of reference defined programmes and services as including prevention, early detection and treatment of mental illness.
The CRC for Mental Health made a submission emphasising the importance of research into mental illnesses. In particular, the submission reiterated the CRC's support for the McKeon Review finding that Australia should "embed research in the health system." We believe this shared learning between research, clinical practice and services has the potential to improve the effectiveness of how mental illnesses are treated.
The CRC's submission also indicated the value of a collaborative approach to research into mental health, especially in "leveraging government investment with private sector investment, as well as embedding end-users in the research process."
The Commission's final review report will be provided to the Government by 30 November 2014, and will be available here.

George Rowley (entrepreneur)
The neutrality of this article is disputed. (June 2012) |
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (April 2009) |
George Rowley (born 1964) is a British entrepreneur who is often credited with starting the absinthe revival in the popular market in Western Europe.[1]
Rowley was born in England, started his career within insurance and moved to Prague in the early 1990s to assist a local subsidiary.
It was in Prague that he first experienced both Czech beer and absinth, and he launched several alcoholic drinks ventures when he moved back to England.[2] In 1996, he founded Bohemia Beer House Ltd. (later BBH Spirits)
In 1998 he applied EU directive No. 88/388/EEC[3] (which included the legal limits for thujone) to absinthe. The testing was approved by UK Trading Standards in June 1998.
In 1998 he launched Czech absinth in the UK and his action became one of the catalysts for the resurgence of absinthe in Europe and the world. He also launched eAbsinthe, then the world's first absinthe e-tailer.
In 2000, with the assistance of Marie-Claude Delahaye, founder and curator of the Absinthe Museum, Auvers-sur-Oise, France, he launched his own brand, La Fée Absinthe, the first traditional distilled absinthe commercially produced in France since the 1915 ban.
In 2010, with Marie-Claude Delahaye, he presented evidence to the FFS in support of the repeal of the French Absinthe ban of 1915.[4]

Best sunglasses I own
Everything about these glasses are great! Stylish, durable, and they fit great on my slightly-wider-than-average head! I find that most sunglasses are never wide enough for my head, and I've had to return a few pairs from this site that said medium-large in size, but I'm finally fully satisfied! I've also received tons of compliments on them. If you buy these shades, guarantee you won't be disappointed!

Harper disagrees with pessimistic report on Canadian housing market.
September 24, 2008 in National Real Estate News by Admin | 1 comment
Prime Minister Stephen Harper disagrees with a report issued By Merrill Lynch Canada.
Harper disagrees with pessimistic report on Canadian housing market.
"The report, issued Wednesday by Merrill Lynch Canada economists David Wolf and Carolyn Kwan, said many Canadian households are more financially overextended than their counterparts in the U.S. or Britain."
"They said it's only a matter of time before the "tipping point" is reached and the housing and credit markets crack in Canada."

This is very interesting, I guess the failure of the American markets today (with the Canadian Financial markets in tow) may change his opinion on the markets in general – credit markets, housing markets, and financial markets seem to all go hand in hand. What do you think?

I recently had an email chat with author, Rita Pam Tarachi. She's not just an author. She's also a singer, songwriter and missionary. She is also very passionate about animals. What sets Rita Pam apart from the crowd is that she writes from a Christian point of view; encouraging singles and couples to approach their relationships the decent christian way. Though she's recently penned a book on relationships, what's ironical is Rita Pam is very guarded and private when it comes to her private life; she says little about her personal relationships and shares almost nothing pertaining that department. As we all know, there's a growing trend in the celeb-world were many have decided to become extremely private about their personal lives. And this is not different with Rita Pam, though she doesn't exactly see herself as a celebrity as she's insisted many times "I'm just a servant of GOD doing His Will on earth, an instrument in His Hands"
Below are a few excerpts from her new book, POWERFUL PRAYERS OF PRAISE AND PETITION FOR SINGLES AND COUPLES:
"...Marriage is not for everyone. In the Bible, we're told: "This teaching does not apply to everyone, but only to those to whom God has given it. For there are different reasons why men cannot marry: some, because they were born that way; others, because men made them that way; and others do not marry for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let him who can accept this teaching do so" (Matthew 19.11-12)
No matter what you do, never get angry at God. If he pulls you out of a relationship, it doesn't mean He's a sad God. It means He's favoured you. Read gory stories on the web of women whose eyes have been gorged out, have been scarred for life. These stories are all over the web. Now, try to imagine for a second that it was you in their position. Envision it. How it'd feel to never be able to use your eyes forever until you die. Isn't it better then to leave a relationship with your physical parts intact than having to regret and say "If only I'd noticed the warning signs earlier" "
"After a break-up, you may feel un-lovable and ugly. Un-wanted. You may even lose your will to live but listen, just when all hope seems lost, just when you're about to lose hope, that's when a miracle happens. Believe in God and what He can do for you. Remember, with Him, everything is possible."
Now, let's hear from Rita Pam herself... I asked her a few questions via email and i must say, i was touched and inspired. I hope her words can bless you as much as they've blessed me.
ME: Tell me, do you think people are losing faith in relationships these days? With the hardship that exists in the world, many people would rather remain single, do you agree?
RITA PAM: I think hardship is not a factor when choosing whom to date or when to date. People still get married these days so i think life goes on. The times we live in are hard but having someone to go through the struggle with you, that is a blessing.
ME: Good point. I see it all over the place, many people are finding it hard to keep relationships nowadays; everyone is busy with one thing or the other. Can a relationship survive this? I mean, wouldn't it be easier to just focus on being single instead of making someone go through rough times with you?
RITA PAM: People find it hard to keep or maintain relationships because they've got their priorities wrong.

Being an international city, London has some of the world's most advanced transportation system. It is the center of road, rail and air networks in the United Kingdom. Despite the advancements, however, it has also retained its traditional vehicles such as the double deck buses that travel around the city.
A visit to the London Transport Museum is the best way to learn about the city's transport heritage. Situated in the Covent Garden Piazza, its permanent location, the museum showcases old vehicles preserved since the 1920's. From a small collection of two Victorian horse buses and a motorbus, the collection has grown to include all modes of transport such as bicycles, taxis, trams and river vessels to art (posters, films and photographs) and design works.
The museum's main objective is to relate to visitors the evolution of the city's transportation system from the past to the present and even up to the future. Different exhibitions are in place with themes such as public transport at war, London's massive expansion in the 20th century and world city comparisons.
A library is also available providing valuable research materials plus a museum depot which stores more than 370,000 items not displayed at the Covent Garden building. The depot, however, is open to the public only during special events.
For this year 2013, heritage vehicle runs and other exciting events are lined up to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the London Underground entitled Tube 150. It was in January 1863 when the world's first underground train made its first journey beneath London's streets from Paddington to Farringdon. In its first six months alone, the train accommodated some 26,000 passengers.
Worth noting here is the fact that the London Transport Museum goes beyond merely displaying artifacts and transportation collections. Inside are shops where souvenir items such as posters, gifts, clothes, toys and vintage house ware can be purchased as well as a café and bar at the Upper Deck that offers snacks and drinks.
This popular tourist attraction is open daily starting at 10 a.m. except on Fridays which opens at 11 a.m. Individual tickets can be purchased but large groups can avail of lower fees. Guided tours are offered as well.
If visiting London is not possible, learning about this historical museum and the city's different modes of transport can be done through its website ltmuseum.co.uk. The site provides comprehensive information covering everything you'd like to know from the history and collections to upcoming events and activities. A blog is also available where visitors can get updates on the museum's activities, people and other valuable details.

Any home can become the target of burglars. As such, it's best to protect your home at all times and know what to do in case an intruder gets into your house in the middle of the night or while nobody's home.
The door is the usual entry point so make sure this is a sturdy one and does not have a letter box. Burglars can peep through the boxes and put devices through them.
Investing in a quality and reliable alarm system should be a priority. This is a must today as burglaries continue unabated with many of them occurring in residential properties.
Before purchasing, however, be able to determine your lifestyle, needs and how much you can afford. Learn about the different types being offered by providers and the benefits of each.

Visiting foreign countries would require travelers to observe the prevailing standards of etiquette in the place of destination. Failure to observe this could result to misunderstanding or unintentional insult to locals. England also has its specific do's which visitors should observe while in the country.
The British have been known to maintain a stiff upper lip in their behavior. They are known for being more formal than Americans. Although there has been considerable relaxation of this formality, there are still certain standards of etiquette that need to be observed by locals and foreign visitors as well.
Visitors to England can take their cue from what they observe once they are in the country. If totally unsure of what to do, it might be best to inquire from friends and associates. A little research can go a long way before visiting the country.
The basics are rather similar to other culture's observance of common courtesy and good manners. The three magic words consisting of please, thank you, and sorry form a large part of everyday conversation in England. Shaking of hands is an acceptable form of greeting for long-time acquaintances while kissing on the cheek is fairly common between female friends. When visiting a family, it is considered good manners to bring a gift either in the form of flowers, wine, or candy.
Waiting in line for one's turn is seriously observed in England. People using the escalator should always stay on the right side to permit people coming from the other direction to pass on the left side. Tipping should be done in a manner that will not be interpreted as showing-off. This includes the place and the amount of the tip. People who do not drink alcohol can go to English pubs which are more like places to meet new friends rather than bars associated with drinking alcohol.

Using a dish to receive numerous TV channels is the preferred choice by many people these days. This option is most ideal for homeowners living outside the city center as well as those residing in the rural areas.
The direct broadcast satellite service known as DirecTV is a popular choice among homeowners in the U.S. This service broadcasts quality satellite television programming in various locations and requires the installation of a dish.
Most providers of DirecTV are able to install the satellite dish upon the request of new subscribers. Normally, though, they will charge a certain fee for the installation process.

Preserving the environment is always top of mind among people and organizations worldwide concerned about the state of Mother Earth. Governments, in particular, are taking steps to ensure that their citizens and companies within their jurisdiction follow laws that will help safeguard their surroundings.
In the U.K., England and Wales follow best practices on the use of satellite television, notably the dish antenna. The objectives are to protect the environment, to raise awareness among homeowners on the proper positioning of satellite dishes and to help retailers and installers provide better advise and service to families.
It is a must for homeowners to properly select and position a dish in such a way that it has less impact on the environment. The neighborhood and the public will also have to be taken into consideration.

For many British households, a traditional tea time practice of eating biscuits for an afternoon tea is still common. It is observed when friends come for a quick visit and hunger pangs are felt when dinner is still quite far off. Tea and biscuits became an ideal solution.
Biscuits are baked flour-based products which find their equivalent in American cookies although the latter has a generally softer consistency. Although there is much confusion with these two terms because of their adaption in different contexts, there appears to be a common consensus that biscuits refer to the hard, crisp, dry baked products. This English delicacy has served as the perfect combination for afternoon tea.
The afternoon tea is also referred to as low tea in contrast to high tea which is actually dinner, being in the heavier side. The time set for this is about four or five in the afternoon and never goes beyond seven in the evening. The start of this practice has been attributed to Anna Marie Stanhope, the Duchess of Bedford who was one of Queen Victoria's ladies in waiting.
This practice was said to have been prompted by the Duchess "sinking feeling" at about four in the afternoon which is believed to have been caused by meager noon meals. It was also said that what started out as a simple sneaking out of bread stuffs and a pot of tea graduated into the afternoon tea which consists of invited guests enjoying small cakes and sandwiches, sweets, and tea.
There are three types of afternoon tea including cream tea, light tea, and full tea. Present afternoon tea observation in England now follows three courses comprised of savouries, scones, and pastries, in such particular order. Tea of course is served throughout.
Buying contact lens online may be a novel thing to many who have been accustomed to the traditional way. An optician is usually consulted who shall provide prescription details after eye examination. It is quite common that the same optician also performs the service of providing the contact lens.
A new trend in buying contact lens has emerged in many parts of the world including the UK. The convenience of online purchase now includes a product that used to be available only in brick and mortar stores. With the power of technology, a good number of online stores are now offering contact lens which are conveniently delivered to customers.
For those who are already using contact lens, prescription details can be found on the box or individual blister packs of contact lens. The optician also easily provides these information since all patients are entitled to this accompanying data wherever they choose to make their purchase of contact lens. Online contact lens stores do not usually ask for a copy of the prescription although they would require patients to enter the prescription details in the order form.
Online contact lens buyers in the UK are advised to choose their online contact lens supplier carefully. The product one orders is usually as good only as the reliability of the company from which the order is being made. Since customers will be going through the online route, the initial thing to look for is a professional-looking website with all required contact numbers provided. A professional supplier will have to be knowledgeable with the product they are offering, even providing advice when necessary. A reliable supplier has no hidden costs and provides all related costs upfront without the need to ask. This goes as well with other information that is required to make an informed decision. To ensure that standards are within UK's regulation, it would also be best to check where the products are being shipped from. Contact lens that are being shipped from within UK should have passed prescribed product standards.
The issue of costs or pricing is always a question in buying anything. The offered contact lens products must be competitively priced and fortunately these can be found online. Online purchase is very convenient and also provides access to all types while affording cost savings. Ordered contact lenses are delivered to the customer's doorstep. This is now less the cost of travelling to and back. Also, many online shops offer exceptional promos that effectively lower cost price.

There is much interest surrounding the line of succession to the British throne. The people who are included in this line are descendants of Electress Sophia of Hanover who are Protestants. Descendants who are Roman Catholics or have married Roman Catholics have been specifically excluded from the list of eligible successors to the throne.
This arrangement is supported by the Act of Settlement of 1701 which determined the issue of Succession to the Throne of the United Kingdom plus 15 Commonwealth realms. The same line of succession is used for choosing the Counsellors of State and a Regent, if so required as guided by the Regency Act of 1937. It is to be noted that only legitimate descendants are included in the list and legitimized descendants are specifically excluded as well.
Electress Sophia of Hanover died before having her chance to ascend to the throne, thus it was her eldest son, George I who started the reign from her family line. The present head of the British Monarchy is Queen Elizabeth. Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, as the heir to the British Throne can only be king if and when Queen Elizabeth choose to abdicate, retire or die. The line of succession favors the male gender and only allows female descendants to be heir to the throne, if and only if she has no brother as in the case of Queen Elizabeth.
In the line of succession, the siblings of the heir to the throne fall behind the heir's children. Thus, a descendant's place may change, depending on the events related to birth, death, or marriage within the family. There are efforts being exerted to change the manner of succession in relation to gender, marriage to Roman Catholics, and sovereign's consent to royal marriage.

Jan. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Irish commercial real-estate sales will increase in 2012, as banks, receivers and the National Asset Management Agency release more properties to the market, according to CB Richard Ellis Group Inc.
Irish commercial property prices have fallen as much as 65 percent from peak levels, CB Richard Ellis said in its Irish commercial property outlook for this year, published today. While rents for prime buildings will stabilize this year, rents for secondary properties will decline in an oversupplied market, it said.

There's no surer way to give your bump a boost than throwing on a dress. For some reason, wearing a frock instantly gives moms-to-be more confidence to go about their day. As the weather grows warmer, it's the perfect time to pack the expectant mama's closet with dresses that will add a spring to her step as she steps out the door. Check out 19 of our favorites for the season.
Hatch Collection Marais Dress
Pregnancy has never looked quite so glamorous! Hatch Collection's Marais Dress [1] ($298) can be dressed up or down with accessories to accommodate various events. The seam pockets also mean that moms-to-be can carry their necessities with them everywhere.
Japanese Weekend Maternity High/Low Dress
Every mom-to-be needs a go-to comfortable dress that she can slip on when she doesn't feel like thinking about what to wear. Japanese Weekend [2]'s Side Tie Maternity Dress [3] ($98) is just that, with its soft jersey fabric, adjustable tie that accommodates a growing belly, and flattering design.
Hatch Collection The Mia Dress
As comfortable as it looks, Hatch Collection's The Mia Dress [4] ($288) can be worn on its own, belted above the belly, or with a variety of accessories to change its look with each wearing.
Isabella Oliver Allegra Dress
It doesn't get more comfortable than Isabella Oliver [5]'s Allegra Dress [6] ($185). The soft, jersey dress has a band collar and removable belt for ultra comfort. With its easy, flowy look, it's perfect for Spring's parties and work events. Best of all, the style works well postpregnancy too.
Olian Stripe Maternity Dress
Olian [7]'s Stripe Maternity Dress [8] ($150) is a beautiful way to highlight a growing bump this Spring.
Séraphine Lavender Blossom Knot Front Maternity Dress
Séraphine's Lavender Blossom Knot Front Maternity Dress [9] ($85) can easily work throughout an entire pregnancy — and beyond! Wear it on its own in the beginning and then paired over leggings when a bigger belly forces it to sit higher. And, when you're through, wear it in your early postpartum days just like Kate Middleton did the week after Prince George was born.
Maternal America Scoop Neck Front Tie Dress
We love the fun nature of Maternal America's Scoop Neck Front Tie Dress [10] ($146). The subtly patterned skirt and simple top will make it a staple in your maternity wardrobe.
Jessica Simpson Elbow Sleeve Lightweight Maternity Maxi Dress
Jessica Simpson [11]'s Elbow Sleeve Lightweight Maternity Maxi Dress [12] ($59) can easily move from day to night on a warm Spring day.
ASOS Mamalicious Printed Scoop Neck Dress
We knew tribal prints would continue to be popular into the Spring, and ASOS [13]'s Mamalicious Printed Scoop Neck Dress [14] ($60) is a great way to carry on the trend.
Sleeveless Braided Strap Maternity Maxi Dress
A Pea in the Pod's Sleeveless Braided Strap Maternity Maxi Dress [15] ($128) is the perfect dress to take you through the season. Pair it with a denim jacket during the cooler days of early Spring, and then wear it on its own throughout the Summer.
The Gap's Solid Sateen Shirtdress
Denim is bigger than ever this Spring, and The Gap's Solid Sateen Shirtdress [16] ($50) allows moms-to-be to wear the trend, even as their bellies are expanding.
Leota Cap Sleeve Sash Belt Maternity Dress
The basketweave detail and cap-sleeve design of the Leota Cap Sleeve Sash Belt Maternity Dress [17] ($168) just scream Spring!
The Gap's Floral Print Shirtdress
Nothing says Spring more than floral prints, and The Gap's Floral Print Shirtdress [18] ($65) embodies everything you want in a Spring dress — florals, lightweight, and sleeveless design.
BCBG Max Azria 3/4 Sleeve Wrap Maternity Dress
Tribal prints are represented in a bold way with BCBG Max Azria's 3/4 Sleeve Wrap Maternity Dress [19] ($198).
Séraphine Navy Flutter Sleeve Maternity Dress
Kate Middleton's maternity dress designer of choice, Séraphine, has another winner on her hands with the Navy Flutter Sleeve Maternity Dress [20] ($85). Made of soft woven viscose, it could easily become your favorite dress of the season.
Topshop Maternity Flower Smock Dress
The floral trend is front and center on Topshop's Maternity Flower Smock Dress [21] ($92).
Lilac Maternity Avery Dress
We love everything about this Lilac Maternity Avery Dress [22] ($108) — the high-low hemline, the Missoni-like patterned skirt, and the bold colors!
Rosie Pope Maternity Wrap Dress Classic
Leave it to Rosie Pope to create the ultimate classic wrap dress for Spring. Her Maternity Wrap Dress Classic [23] ($178) is bound to turn heads — both in the office and when out for the evening.
The best part of Boob's nursing tee dress sleeveless [24] ($69) is that it goes from maternity to nursing, making it a great investment.

If anyone wants a better look, please PM me & I'll e-mail you the photo I took of the card.
(07-12-2012 09:21 PM)hckydv7 Wrote: The Autos from 2010-11 SP Authentic are ones that they did not include in the packs last year at all-- not even as redemptions. So they added them to this years product. But they are supposed to be a bonus Auto and not part of the 3 per box as I understand it.

Hair Removal Treatments
Waxidents Happen!
By: Crickett
Posted: March 1, 2014, from the March 2014 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 3 of 5
These simple tricks will have you on your way to getting unstuck in no time.
- When using soft wax, apply hard wax over the soft wax, covering it completely. Allow the hard wax to dry and then remove it. The hard wax will pull the soft wax up with it.
- When using hard wax, apply a small amount of powder to the top. The powder will absorb the moisture and allow the wax to dry. After a few seconds, you will be able to remove the wax.
- When working with longer hair, apply wax to the root only. This prevents the wax from matting in the excess hair. You can also trim the hair.
2. You waxed off part of or all of an eyebrow
Waxing an eyebrow off is easier to do than you might think. Why is this such a common occurence?
- Once you put the strip down while using soft wax, you can never really be sure where the wax will end up, which could potentially result in pulling off an entire brow in just a few seconds.
- Soft wax is more likely to drip off the stick into hair you didn't intend to wax off.
What can be done to fix this sticky situation or even prevent it from happening? Use hard wax for the brows.
It takes a bit of getting used to, but one of the many great benefits of hard wax is that it stays where you put it. Once you lay it down, it isn't going to migrate into hair you don't want it to be in. And because it is low-temperature, it's less likely to just fall off the stick.
If soft or hard wax gets in hair you don't want it in, you can remove the wax and start over without removing the hair, depending on the amount of wax to be removed, with the following steps:
- Take a dime-sized amount of pre-oil or balm, and a clean cotton round;
- Saturate the cotton round with oil or balm and lay it over the wax to soften it, leaving on for a minute or two;
- Gently work the wax out of the hair with the cotton round; and
- Once wax is gone, clean the area to remove all oil and start over.

Dulcina chuckled at Hinderance. "No, that you are not." She hugged him tighter as she was hugged tighter, smiling as some more joyful tears were comming down her face. "Thank you. That... Hmm, now I'm wondering if I deserve you for that..." She said with a slight chuckle. But besite her title and power and other things, she was wondering if she really did deserve this. "Yeah, it is strange, but I do have a few ideas. I shouldn't disturb your work though." He smiled and closed the door behind him. There was something he wanted to look up in the Library. He walked over to the hydromancy section and pulled out a book, reading it at one of the desks. He couldn't help but steal a glance to Cassandra when he thought she wasn't looking. Yeah, stop being a distraction huh?
Hinderance wanted to do more for Dulcina, but still felt it wasn't really his place yet. Now that his form was fully liquid his body temperature rose to a comfortably cool temperature. "You do Dulcina and you don't have to think on that too much." Hinderance still had an annoying thought in his mind about the disk, but continued to dismiss it. Continuing to sort the papers she went over to each shelf with the proper labels and folders. It wasn't exactly the most exciting work, but it felt good to have a normal routine again. Once in a while she could feel someone looking at her, but seeing as how Equiste was the only one in the library with her she blushed a little redder, but tried to hide it from Equiste. Going back to the main table she looked through more of the reports wanting to get it done quickly as she was starting to get distracted by other things.
"I'll try not to..." She said, closing her eyes and hugging herself against Hinderance. This felt really nice. She had gotten a lot more emotional than she had expected. She wanted to sleep, but felt that if Hinderance left she would be too much in turmoil. With a wave of her hand the disk and the paper hiding under something was picked up by tendrils of water and dragged to the ground, disappearing into it. They were actually moving to a special hiding spot she had. Now she had to ask Hinderance one more favor. "Umm... Hinderance... This might seem a bit strange but do you think you could stay with me for a while? Until I fall asleep? I'm sorry to be so much a burden right now but I want to sleep and I don't think I can alone..." Equiste continued to study the book, stealing glances every once in a while. He did eventually notice the increased blush. Probably best to get out of sight. He moved to the bookshelf again, looking like he was looking for a book before he moved out of sight, sticking his head back in the book. He had to resist looking around to see her, but it was for the best.
Hinderance was a tad surprised by the request, really his mind wondered if she was asking for more than just waiting for her to fall asleep, but thinking back on what had happened today he tried not to think of it in that way. Nodding Hinderance replied, "It's fine Dulcina, of course I will stay until you have fallen asleep." Cassandra continued to work on sorting the papers, she was getting close to the end of the paperwork. Cassandra noticed that Equiste had moved out of sight, but she knew he was still here. Cassandra still wasn't sure if she could openly show Equiste a bit more affection, but this being her home perhaps?
"Thank you..." She said as she moved them over to her bed, still with her arms around him. She couldn't help but think perhaps she should push for more than just him being with her, but pushed it out for now. Hinderance would probably feel better working for that type of affection more so than she giving it because she felt vulnerable. ... Well, apart from the fact that she was probably more sexual than most people. She laid down on the bed still in her senior summoner robes and laid on her side, back turned to him, waiting for him to come down behind her. Equiste continued to study the book. It missed the componenet he was looking for. With a sigh he returns the book back to the shelf. Moving back to the book shelf and likely in sight he scans more books. Perhaps that one on the shelf up there would be better? He stretched himself as far as he could go to reach the book before returning to his out of sight spot, stealing a glance before he does. Perhaps he should... Nah, he wasn't distracting Cassandra... Was he?
Hinderance moved right next to Dulcina and remained sitting next to her. Hinderance continued to wonder about the disk and where it came from. Still right now Dulcina needed him close, with that in mind he laid down beside Dulcina. "I'll be right here Dulcina, so no need to worry." Cassandra finished putting all the paperwork in order. She sighed content with the work she had done and went to check up on Equiste. "Hey, Equiste I just finished sorting my paperwork." Seeing Equiste looking at the book Cassandra quieted down a bit. "Oops, sorry am I disturbing you?" Cassandra still had a slight blush as she stood fidgeting a bit waiting for Equiste's answer.
As he spoke to her she slid her body back so it touched him, moving so there was a bit of space for an arm to fit under and around her. Hinderance could feel a slight pull, like his arms were being moved by someone but to a point where he could resist easily if he wanted. If he didn't resist they would end up hugging her around the chest. She smiled and closed her eyes. "Thank you Hinderance." She said, the back of her body resting in Hinderance's human form. She couldn't help but smile and let out a phrase she used to be quoted when she said stuff like that. "Its when you say that I worry the most." She said playfully. Equiste looked up as Cassandra talked to him. He smiled. "No, your not disturbing me at all. I'm just looking at something for a side project. Thats all." To be honest he was using it to distract him from his... guests. He still had to ask Hinderance what he should do with them. "Is that all you got set out for today or is there more?" He asked with a smile.
Hinderance didn't resist and hugged Dulcina, using his left hand he brushed Dulcina's hair back behind her head. "Maybe, but at least I didn't say something like that during time of conflict." Hinderance was starting to get the urge to do more than just lay beside Dulcina all night, but quickly move that thought out as it would be both inappropriate as well as completely against what he wanted. "It's no problem Dulcina, this is the least I could do for you." "That was the only remaining thing I had for the day." Cassandra moved a bit closer to Equiste's chair as she spoke. Once close enough Cassandra stood right beside Equiste. Not wanting anyone else to accidentally hear she opened a secure mental link to Equiste. Should he accept he would hear the following. "Equiste...about what we did......was it a one time thing?.......I'm just.....curious...." Cassandra couldn't hide how embarrassed she was asking, but she really wanted to know.
Dulcina smiled resting back into Hinderance as she felt her hair being brushed. She chuckled when he mentioned not saying it during the conflict. "No, I guess you didn't... I..." Her mind went back to that night, when Hinderance had asked her to kill him. The poor dear to be going through such pain that he would want his own demise. "The least you could do?" She was tempted to be flirty with him but such an action might make her want more and to break whatever resistance Hinderance was using. "That m... ... Thank you.." She says, putting her arm on the arm Hinderance had around her chest. Equiste was still looking towards Cassandra as she moved closer to him. "Well thats good, I guess that means you can relax for the rest of the day." He instantly accepted the request, like accepting the secure link from her was something he would do without question. He made a noise as he felt the question. 'Cassandra, I d... I'm not sure...' His thoughts seemed confused, a slight feeling of lust and love in with the confusion. He seemed to be sitting there, conemplating either his next move or staring at her, either one seemed possible if not both.
Hinderance really wished he could do more right now, but he had to keep himself under control until after they had spent more time together. Hinderance smiled as Dulcina placed her arm onto his. Cassandra still blushing smiled at is mental response. "It's ok.....I know it will take a lot of thinking.....but again.....if you ever have need of me.......I'll be here for you.....always....." Equiste could feel a huge amount of longing as well as lust in Cassandra's reply, but even then he could also tell she was holding a lot more of her emotions from being relayed through the link. Unconsciously Cassandra began to fidget with her robe as she gave her reply. Equiste could see her visibly get redder. Cassandra wanted much more, but for now this was more than she thought she could ever have between them keeping her content. She herself this was a terrible thing she was doing with Equiste, but she really couldn't help herself.

Location is great!
Bed was too soft. Liked staying here in the past because the beds were firmer and not a pillow top like the others in the area.
Nice pool and garden, comfortable room, pleasant staff, amazing stay at the asking price
Nice pool. Free parking and wifi
Small bathroom. You can some noise from other rooms
Breakfasts were great.
Bed was a little too soft for my wife, who has a back problem.
Great location very good room and very confortable huge king size bed super clean
Very poor complimentary breakfast
We have travelled to naples approx 7 times. We have stayed in villas, condo,s and hotels.. This hotel was by far the best location and the facilities were excellent. The staff were very friendly helpful and polite. We would highly recommend the hotel.
View to the pool. Good location. Good wifi.
Carpet in the room.
The comfort and staff concern to make your stay the best.
Poor restaurant. Realise this is not part of the Ramada chain, but they could do better. Servers very kind.
We came late in the evening and left in the morning but the room was good even if it felt old. Breakfast was included and for a US hotel the options were good. Free Wifi that worked fine. Free parking. The pool and the garden looked nice but we didn't have any time to use it.
The room was a bit small. Bathroom was also smaller than usual.
We were welcomed by Richard at front desk and he was very helpful and a lot of fun:-) (Martina) Food was excellent!! at the on site restaurant pompano surf and turf, our waitress Alma was always so sweet and very attentive. Rooms were comfortabe and clean. Great wifi service. 15 min walk down Banyan rd to beach. Gardens are beautiful! Heated Salt water Pool was clean well sheltered and consistently warm. Enjoyable low background music. Towels supplied at pool. All staff very professional and friendly. Thank you for a lovely stay, I would definetly come again!!!
Breakfast- it was ok, but boring. Needs to be changed up more often. yogurt ran out early, so if not there by 9 it was all gone. Would love to see a pot of portage instead of individual packets. granola for Yogart. Fruit salad. Scrabbled eggs offered more often instead of the egg patti. More condiments or toppers for eggs to change up Breakfast eg. Grated cheese, salsa, hot sauce hot white cream sauce. (these are options I have had offered at other hotels). the food layout needs to be improved for flow. Seperate table for waffle maker and toast. Separate Condiment table. A small waste basket for empty packets beside the coffee so you don't have to walk In between the people who are getting juice to through out empy packets.
Attractive property and rooms. A short drive to beach and shopping.
The breakfast bar needs improvement. A change from powdered eggs to hard boiled would help. The styrofoam and plastic need to go as well.
This is an excellent 3* hotel. Our room was very comfortable and newly refurbished. The bed was excellent and so comfy! The room was cleaned every day very thoroughly which I thought was excellent. Obviously it's 3* so it's not luxurious but we really enjoyed it. The only two downsides are the bathroom - which is pretty dated although clean and the breakfast service. Huge queues in the morning and not very much to choose from. Apart from that we thought this wee place was great.
Location Hotel personnals Pool Landscaping
We would like to see, if possible, more variety for breakfast-yougurt etc Thanks We'll be back
The great location which allowed us to walk to the beach, great restaurants and grocery store with out having to use the car. Best of all was the great help and information provided by the front office staff.
The rooms are clean and the hotel offers a really nice pool area. It is a good place in you want to stay just one night, since it is right on Tamiami Trail. So it is very practical but noisy too.
We didn't like the way they organized the breakfast, there were constantly long queues and it easily could take up to 25 to grab a muffin or a waffle. If you want to eat your breakfast Outside you have to go all the way through the lobby, Even though there was a door providing direct access.they should have more chairs Outside besides those belonging to the restaurant
It is a calm hotel with nice, clean rooms.
The breakfast was complimentary, but kinda cheap, not a lot of choices, and often long queues. The hotel is quite far from the center, we had to walk a long way or take the car. Not really convenient. It is a nice hotel but kind of expensive for what it is.
Attractive flowers in area around pool. Within walking distance of a beach. Easy to find on the main highway. Staff were friendly and helpful.
We stayed at new Year so probably paid a premium rate. However, it is basically a motel. Breakfast was very crowded with a long line to access any of the food.
The location near beaches, shops and restaurants. The pool was warm and a great place to relax. Very pleasant staff.
Busy at breakfast, layout caused long lines. No laundry facilities.
The king size bed, the wifi
Bathroom, vendor machines with no water (sold out) during a hot Sunday, pool, thin walls (you could hear ALL neighborhood noises)...
The warm welcome from the staff on arrival definitely set the scene. Room was comfortable with the usual amenities. We eat in the attached restaurant and the food and service were excellent. Bar lady was great.
The buffet breakfast was quite disappointing and the layout chaotic, with long waiting time at peak. Not really worth the hassle. dont think jumping in the pool is nice for other guests.
Good hotel, good room, exactly the level we want. Congratulations to the staff for its help to guide to the numerous restaurants available nearby. Good and varied breakfast.

In most cases, such a statement would be bad news. But for Hillrie Quin and his "Clean Water" team, it was a message of joy. It signaled acceptance from the remote Bolivian community of the water purification system installed by the team from the First Presbyterian Church of Highlands this past March. Moreover, it meant that the residents of El Chore "bought" into the clean water program the team established.
Seven people from the church, including the pastor, Dr. Lee Bowman, joined Quin in the mission to install the water purification system in El Chore and to educate the residents concerning its value.
"The people we met thanked us for coming to their country," said Bowman. "They were genuinely touched that we wanted to help them help themselves. One of the most poignant comments I received was from one of our translators who said to me, 'Thank you for bringing this group who have shown such kindness to my people.'"

Move "Troy" to the High School
Scholastic Books has reviewed the book and has set it for Grade Level 9-12.
Booklist Review listed the book for Gr.10-12 and stated that the book contains, "vividly imagined domestic details that will be accessible to most older teens (and adults), particularly fans of historical romances."
Based on these reviews the book should not be accessible to middle school children.
Let's do what is best for our children by asking the board to put this book in the High school library only!!
