Reese Drops a Dozen as Women's Basketbal Falls to Hot-Shooting Mars Hill 85-53
November 12, 2011
HICKORY, N.C. A 16-point halftime deficit was too much to overcome on Saturday as Pfeiffer University fell 85-53 to Mars Hill College in the final day of the 2011 Lenoir-Rhyne Invitational. The Lions outscored the Lady Falcons by 16 in each half to even at 1-1 on the young season while Pfeiffer drops to 0-2.
Mars Hill shot a whopping 60% from the field in the win while holding the Lady Falcons to just 29%. Kristin Metcalf led the Lions with a game-high 16 points as one of four players in double figures. Ansley Ricker and Armeka Booker each had 14 while Danielle Tucker posted 10. Tucker finished one rebound shy of a double-double.
Pfeiffer was led by Shelley Reese scored a dozen points followed by 11 from Vontreece Hayes. Hayes provided the Lady Falcons lone bright spot putting Pfeiffer up 5-4 early just 2:15 into the contest before Mars Hill took over from there.
The Lady Falcons will open up the home portion of their schedule on Tuesday night hosting Anderson at 6:00 p.m. Live stats and video will be available via http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Skin testing is usually done at a doctor's office. A nurse generally administers the test, and a doctor interprets the results. Typically, this test takes about 20 to 40 minutes. Some tests detect immediate allergic reactions, which develop within minutes of exposure to an allergen. Other tests detect delayed allergic reactions, which develop over a period of several days.
Skin prick test
A skin prick test, also called a puncture or scratch test, checks for immediate allergic reactions to as many as 40 different substances at once. This test is usually done to identify allergies to pollen, mold, pet dander, dust mites and foods. In adults, the test is usually done on the forearm. Children may be tested on the upper back.
Allergy skin tests aren't painful. This type of testing uses needles (lancets) that barely penetrate the skin's surface. You won't bleed or feel more than mild, momentary discomfort.
After cleaning the test site with alcohol, the nurse draws small marks on your skin and applies a drop of allergen extract next to each mark. He or she then uses a lancet to prick the extracts into the skin's surface. A new lancet is used for each allergen.
To see if your skin is reacting normally, two additional substances are scratched into your skin's surface:
- Histamine. In most people, this substance causes a skin response. If you don't react to histamine, your allergy skin test may not reveal an allergy even if you have one.
- Glycerin or saline. In most people, these substances don't cause any reaction. If you do react to glycerin or saline, you may have sensitive skin. Test results will need to be interpreted cautiously to avoid a false allergy diagnosis.
About 15 minutes after the skin pricks, the nurse observes your skin for signs of allergic reactions. If you are allergic to one of the substances tested, you'll develop a raised, red, itchy bump (wheal) that may look like a mosquito bite. A nurse will then measure the bump's size.
After the nurse records the results, he or she will clean your skin with alcohol to remove the marks.
Skin injection test
You may need a test that uses a needle to inject a small amount of allergen extract just into the skin on your arm (intradermal test). The injection site is examined after about 15 minutes for signs of an allergic reaction. Your doctor may recommend this test to check for an allergy to insect venom or penicillin.
Patch test
Patch testing is generally done to see whether a particular substance is causing allergic skin irritation (contact dermatitis). Patch tests can detect delayed allergic reactions, which can take several days to develop.
Patch tests don't use needles. Instead, allergens are applied to patches, which are then placed on your skin. During a patch test, your skin may be exposed to 20 to 30 extracts of substances that can cause contact dermatitis. These can include latex, medications, fragrances, preservatives, hair dyes, metals and resins.
You wear the patches on your arm or back for 48 hours. During this time, you should avoid bathing and activities that cause heavy sweating. The patches are removed when you return to your doctor's office. Irritated skin at the patch site may indicate an allergy.

I rarely make bread for reasons that should be obvious: it's hard to justify spending the day at home mixing, kneading, and baking bread when you live in a city where there's likely at least four very good bakeries within a two block radius. Unless, of course, it's the middle of winter and the idea of braving 0º temperatures is less-than-appealing.
Before the deep-chill set in this week, the previous week I was going to my dentist, and stopped in at the nearby Kayser bakery* (one might say I chose my dentist based on the proximity to that bakery, but I'll deny it), and they were selling their terrific Stollen, which they make for the holidays. The small loaves cost only €3, which makes them, in my opinion, the best bargain in Paris.

Here's some Buddhist insight that seems relevant and might help explain why this dialog is going no where. This discourse is from Thich Naht Hahn, a monk in the Zen tradition (and not a theist).
There are two levels of relationship between us and other beings. In Christianity, we hear the expression "horizontal theology". This kind of theology helps us see and touch what is there around us. Horizontal theology helps us establish links with what is around us including human beings, animals, vegetables, and minerals. Our daily practice should help us get in tough with theses beings, because by getting in touch with them, we will be able to get in touch with God.
Getting in touch with God is symbolized by a vertical line and is called "vertical theology". These are the two dimensions. If you do not succeed in getting in touch with the horizontal dimension, you will not be able to get in touch with the vertical dimension. There is a relationship between the horizontal and the vertical. If you cannot love man, animals and plants, I doubt that you can love God. The capacity for loving God depends on your capacity for loving humankind and other species.
Let us visualize the ocean with a multitude of waves. Imagine that we are a wave on the ocean, and surrounding us are many, many waves. If the wave looks deeply within herself, she will realize that her being there depends on the presence of all the other waves. Her coming up, her going down, and her being big or small depend entirely on how the other waves are.
It seems as if the wave and the water are two different things, but in fact they are one. Without the water, there would be no wave, and if we remove the wave, there is no water. There are two levels and two kinds of relationships. When we speak of cause and effect, we have to be aware on what level we are speaking. Is it on the level of phenomena or the level of noumena? It is very important not to mix up the two.
Of course there is a relationship between water and wave, but this relationship is very different from the relationship between waves and waves. This is very important. When we say this wave is made of all the other waves, we are dealing with the phenomenal world. We are speaking of causes and effects in terms of phenomena. But it's very different when we say that this wave is made of water. By separating the two relationships we will save a lot of time, ink and saliva.
When you say that humankind was created by God, you are talking about the relationship between water and wave. God did not create man in the same way that a carpenter creates a table. All our Christian friends would agree with that. The way God created the cosmos was quite different. You cannot mix up the two dimensions. You cannot consider God as one of the things that operates in the realm of phenomena. There are many theologians who are able to see this. Paul Tillich said that "God is the ground of being." The "ground of being" is the noumenal aspect of reality. God is not a being in the phenomenal world. He or She is the ground of all being.
We can talk about the phenomenal world, but it is very difficult to talk about the noumenal world. It is impossible to use our concepts and words to describe God. All the adjectives and nouns that we use to describe waves cannot be used to describe God. We can say that this wave is high or low, big or small, beautiful or ugly, has a beginning and an end. But all of these notions cannot be applied to water. God has no beginning or end. God is not more or less beautiful. All the ideas we use to describe phenomenal world cannot be applied to God. So it's very wise not to say anything about God. To me the best theologian is the one who never speaks about God.
Not being able to speak about God does not mean that God is not available to us. I agree with Andre Gide who said, "God is available to us twenty-four hours a day." The question is whether you are touching God twenty-four hours a day.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
As we age, gravity works against us and skin loses its elasticity causing eyelids to droop and fatty tissue to accumulate below the eyes.
When we look in the mirror we may see someone who looks older and more tired than we feel because of droopy eyelids and crepe-paper skin under our eyes. Our friends may ask if we are tired or angry in spite of adequate rest and good health.
Even with the best skin care and sun protection, aging eyes are inevitable.
The Facial and Cosmetic Surgery Center at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary offers blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery that can restore a healthy and youthful appearance, with a firmer and more attractive eye area.
Initial Visit
During a patient's first complimentary visit, a medical history will be taken.
There will also be a physical examination focusing on factors such as age, genetic factors, ethnic background, skin type and elasticity.
It is also important to discuss pre-existing conditions such as hypothyroidism, diabetes, and circulatory or ophthalmic disorders. The surgeon will ask what you like and dislike about your eyes. Once your surgeon understands your expectations then mutual, realistic goals can be set.
Types of Blepharoplasty
There are three basic forms of blepharoplasty: upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery and transconjunctival blepharoplasty.
In upper and lower eyelid surgery, the excess, sagging skin is removed. When the membrane under the lower eyelid weakens with age, it lets the fatty tissue bulge forward causing puffiness or "bags" to form under the eyes. Transconjunctival blepharoplasty treats this by removing this fatty tissue under the lower eyelid.
In most cases, these are cosmetic procedures that are not covered by insurance. However, when drooping upper eyelids cause vision obstruction, a medical condition called ptosis, surgery is usually covered by insurance.
Combining Blepharoplasty with Other Procedures
Many patients elect to have upper and lower lid surgery together. If a patient has ptosis (drooping eyelids that interfere with vision), their upper eyelid surgery will probably be covered by insurance, while the patient remains responsible for the cosmetic lower eyelid procedure.
Blepharoplasty is often combined with another cosmetic procedure such as a brow or face lift to produce an optimum effect.
Surgical Procedures
Blepharoplasy is usually performed under local anesthesia. In upper eyelid surgery, the incision is hidden in the natural crease of the eyelid. Excess skin and fatty tissue are removed and incisions are closed with fine sutures, to minimize scarring.
With lower eyelid surgery, an incision is made just below the lower lash line. Fatty deposits are removed and the loose skin is excised. Sometimes a lid tightening procedure is also used. Incisions are closed with fine, self-dissolving sutures.
When surgeons perform transconjunctival blepharoplasty, the incision is made inside the lower rim of the eye. The surgeon then divides the fatty tissue and muscle to remove the excess fat, and incisions are closed.
Pre-Operative Instructions
For two weeks prior to surgery, patients are required to avoid smoking, alcohol and any product containing aspirin. Smoking interferes with circulation and healing, and products containing aspirin or ibuprofen increase the risk of bleeding.
Post-Operative Instructions
Please arrange for someone to pick you up after surgery. After the procedure, your eyelids will be lubricated which may cause temporary, blurry vision.
Oral medications may be prescribed for pain or discomfort. There may be bruising, swelling, tearing and itching for about a week. At first, incisions may be red and bumpy but will flatten out and fade with time.
If non-dissolvable stitches were used, they will be removed one week after surgery.
Following surgery, patients are advised to sleep with their head elevated and to apply cold compresses.
Normal activities can be resumed after ten days, but strenuous activities such as aerobics or lifting should be avoided for three weeks.
Sunglasses and sun screen (SPF 15 or higher) should be worn outdoors.
Surgical Risks
All surgical procedures carry inherent risks, such as the possibility of infection. Sometimes, blepharoplasty patients have difficulty closing their eyes when asleep. Although this condition is quite rare it can be permanent. Lower lids may droop or look pulled down. This condition, ectropion, may require additional surgery.
Other potential complications include hematoma (an accumulation of blood under the skin) and changes in sensation around the eye area.
Most patients find blepharoplasty, which ranks as one of the five most common cosmetic procedures, surprisingly easy and are pleased with its dramatic and long lasting effect of making you look rested, refreshed and more alert. To learn if you are a good candidate for blepharoplasty, please call for a consultation at our Facial and Cosmetic Surgery Center.

The Difference Makers

Snohomish's Kristian Barney (left) and Lake Steven's Michel Zavalza chase down the ball in the first half of their game Friday night at Lake Stevens High School.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Lake Steven's Brandon Hafenscher (left) and Snohomish's Tyler Mayer vie for the ball in the first half of their game Friday night at Lake Stevens High School.
Entering the season Snohomish was the favorite to win the Wesco 4A North and the Panthers did just that. But senior forward Tyler Mayer wasn't supposed to be the team's leading play-maker.
Well he was. Mayer's 14 goals not only led the team but also the North.
"Tyler's been fantastic this year," Snohomish coach Dan Pingrey said. "He's been fun to watch."
When the Panthers needed a goal he was there and none of the 14 were bigger than his shot in the 89th minute of the second game against Lake Stevens on Friday that clinched the league crown.
"This year he's matured and grown into how he plays and what he does," Pingrey said. "He's not trying as hard. So he's got 14 goals and the majority of them are absolutely brilliant goals.
"He's comfortable and composed in front of the net. He wants the ball. He wants to shoot and when it's all said and done that's what you want out of a goal scorer."
Whatever happens in the playoffs, it likely won't be the end of Mayer's career.
"I really hope he plans to do more and work with a community college coach to get that opportunity at the next level," Pingrey said.
Michel Zavalza | Lake Stevens
The Viking senior wasn't expected to be the best player on the senior-laden squad that perennially contends for the Wesco 4A north crown. He wasn't flashy this season, just consistent. Perhaps he's a microcosm of the Vikings as a team.
"He's a goal scorer. He's got a nose for it," said coach Kit Shanholtzer, citing the seven straight games in which Zavalza scored at least a goal.
"He really loves the program," the Vikings coach said. "He enjoys his teammates and he trusts everyone.
"We have a very non-stereotypical offense. We have some very odd things we try to do. If you trust it a lot of great things happen."
There are a lot of reasons that the Vikings are a threat to make a return trip to the state tournament, including seniors Blake Sander and James Tanner. Tanner is going to play college soccer as a keeper at a Division II school, but plays center forward for Lake.
But according to Shanholtzer Zavalza makes the team go.
"Michel is definitely a difference maker," Shanholtzer said. "Guys try to get him the ball in dangerous locations and it works well."
Sam Roe | Lakewood
Roe is one of two strong goalkeepers for Lakewood, including Gustavo Garcia, last year's all-league goalie. Roe, a senior goalkeeper/defender, helps manage the defense regardless of what position he plays.
"He's the heart of the defense back there," said Lakewood head coach Bryce Barker. "He's just a real versatile player. Such an athlete. He's the one in the back keeping our defense organized."
Roe has been thrust into defensive duty due to injuries on the Lakewood team. But with the Cougars almost back at full strength, Roe appears headed back to the goal, where he has recorded 51/2 shutouts -- he split one with Garcia -- this season.
"We've got two really solid goalkeepers including Gustavo, who was all-league last year," Barker said. "We joke around that if 10 shots are taken against both guys, they're each going to save nine of them, if not 10."
Colin Cuchna | Stanwood
For Cuchna it starts with the socks. A pair of wool, flame-emblazoned socks may not give him his fire but they definitely make the Spartans forward stand out on the pitch.
"I got them when I was really young," Cuchna said of the socks. "My mom was doing the laundary one day before this season and was like 'Why don't you ever wear these anymore?' I was like 'All right I'll just wear them for games.' My teammates were just laughing."
When it comes to soccer, Cuchna is no laughing matter though. Coming off his freshman season in which he scored only one goal, the Spartans forward has scored eight and assisted on five others in leading Stanwood to a 3A North title. This year confidence has helped the sophomore become a better finisher.
"He created a lot of opportunities as a freshman but didn't finish," said Stanwood head coach Kyle Veach. "Mentally he's come in as a stronger game player than he did last year. You knew he was on the cusp of doing something great. He scores ridiculous goals, impossible angles."

Everyone and his cousin seems to think that Sam is wrong about torture, and I don't have the will to read every thread on the subject, but after reading four or five, I'm surprised (especially considering the high quality of discussion on the subject) that no one seems to have landed on this idea:
Sam's own argument about The Perfect Weapon is a great response to his argument about torture.
When we drop bombs on cities, our object (hopefully) is not to maim children or otherwise harm any innocent. We understand that is going to happen, but we would be all the happier if it didn't. If there was some way for us to move every innocent person out of the way before destroying the enemy's infrastructure, we would. If we had a Perfect Weapon, children wouldn't get maimed.
That's not what we're doing with torture. When people torture, they take a helpless person and intentionally inflict huge suffering directly on that person. It's not an unintended and undesired side-effect.
In the ethical dilemma about the train, if you're inside, you have to switch tracks and kill one person to save five; if you're outside, you can't accomplish the same end by pushing a person in front of the train. In the second case, the way you're using another human being (as a stopping block) is unacceptable, and you couldn't do that even if it were a million people you were saving instead of five.
The torture situation is similar. It doesn't matter what your end is; you're not allowed to use another person that way. That's why that argument leaves a bad taste in people's mouths. It's not an illusion; the moral equivalence of the two is the illusion.
Now, if a person thinks he can torture someone (or throw an innocent person under a train) to save a million lives and still live with himself, that's one thing, but saying it's morally white is something else. A person who does that has put himself in a situation where he is obligated to admit wrong-doing, perhaps for a greater good, but an argument like this from such a person is a weak attempt to escape a responsibility that he has taken himself.
I hope one day in the future science will solve this one for us. The TV show "Lie to Me" is all about an alternative to "24". Some combination of interrogation techniques (not torture), drugs, and medical monitoring systems may be able to reliably get information out of unwilling subjects. It's certainly worth putting some R&D money into, don't you think?

As a woman, weight loss seems more important than ever. You want to look and feel your best, but that can seem impossible, even with constant dieting and exercise. This is only made worse if you are a woman on the go, with a family or a career. However, everyone has the right to an active and healthy lifestyle. There are a lot of small changes you can make on the go that will help you lose a few pounds and get a little extra exercise. Some suggestions are mentioned below, which could be just the weight loss solution you have been looking for.
Take the stairs.
This is one you've probably heard once or twice before, but there's a reason for that. There's also a reason they build exercise machines to emulate the process of walking up stairs. Walking up a long flight of stairs can be a great workout for the day and if you're a woman on the go, you probably pass a few sets of stairs every day. Ignore the temptation to take the elevator and spend a few extra minutes moving up the stairs at a steady pace. The stairs will help you burn calories and lose weight without visiting a gym or running for miles. It's a great weight loss secret for any woman on the go.

Bodhi is a minimalistic, enlightened, Linux desktop.

One of the most beautiful design appearance in the Linux family. Calm & elegance.
Bodhi Linux has been a real eye-opener for us since version 1.0 in 2011. Then as now, it presented a sumptuous implementation of the Enlightenment desktop built onto a base of the current Ubuntu LTS release. I'd been trying E16 & E17 on various distros, liking it very much, but stability issues and the closure of some distros kept throwing me back to Ubuntu with a sigh. In 2011 that option had gone away - Canonical had gone for 'Unity' which just plain did not work on most of our hardware. So it was with delight that I tried (and quickly installed) Bodhi 1.0 to see how it ran in comparison with the 'buntu variants. It looked good to me and was highly configurable too, so one could experiment and alter all sorts of things. It was fast! Boot times much faster than Ubuntu, and no wonder, since we were seeing a RAM usage below 80GB on some machines. It would boot and run on a 128MB RAM P3 and run acceptably with a 350MHz clock! Wow! But the astonishing thing for me was that it was slightly more stable than the then-current LTS version on Xubuntu, running on identical hardware. And it was faster, more configurable, and burned less than half the RAM, even with bling turned on. That's clever. We started moving our posse across to Bodhi, and have never regretted it. The Bodhi forum community is friendly and helpful, with (in my own experience) founder and lead developer Jeff Hoogland jumping in with accurate assistance pretty much on demand. Don't know how he does it.... It's been a while since I've needed to ask for guidance, but we have the Release Candidate (RC1) for Bodhi 3.0 running on a shiny new machine with Intel ValleyView graphics that is proving resistant to doing HTPC duty with a TV and will probably need some hand holding with that. Looking forward to it, it's that kind of community. If you decide to have a go, remember that Bodhi starts with a very bare distro - enough to boot up, play with the menu, read the copious info in Bodhi Quick Start, maybe check the Appcenter for the apps and bundles on offer - and the Art Wiki, with more themes than Mantovani. Well worth checking out! Then if you like the idea, do an install ('buntu installer, pretty simple, very fast) reboot, and return to the Appcenter to grab what you fancy for your new OS. Updates are semi-rolling, with no reinstallation needed until a major version number (eg 2.x to 3.x) is changed. Bodhi 2.x continues (it's an LTS, after all), a good place to start whilst Bodhi 3.0 is still gestating, but there are a -slew- of interesting things there that are new - so do have a look at both. For our family and many friends this has been a real distro-hopper stopper! Hope you like it.
Dudes I have tried 3 other, much older distro's and none could install the @#$^% broadcom wireless nic driver on my daughter's inspiron 1300. I tried everything and then some. Then I tried Bodhi live. The diver was there!! it installed without a hitch! GREAT JOB GUYS!! I will be recommending this distro to my customers. A BIG THANKS!
EPIC work on the Chromebook release, guys!
I really like this the multitasking aspect is amazing

Even football coaches who generally don't enjoy open dates were happy that the East Central 2-A Conference collectively took this past week off, spending the time working to get better physically, mentally or technically – or all three.
Six straight weeks of playing and practicing can do its share of damage to the body and the brain, leaving players bruised and banged up and coaches bemoaning a lack of time to focus on fundamentals after watching another Friday night of busted assignments.
"In the past I haven't liked open dates a whole lot," Northside coach Bob Eason said. "I like when we play 11 games in 11 weeks. I'm all about playing. But it's a great opportunity to get better. It gives you a week to concentrate on your team a little bit."
While Eason and the Monarchs (3-3) could be excused for wanting to get right back on the field after an impressive 24-0 win at Goldsboro, Dixon (4-2) headed into the open week having lost two straight – including a 45-6 loss at home to Pamlico on Sept. 27.
So it's understandable that coach Brandon Iseman welcomed the open date.
"I tell you what, it couldn't come at a better time for us," he said. "We're banged up and bruised up. We've played without a couple of our key guys the last couple games. So it's almost perfect timing for us.
"I'm glad it's here. We can get healthy. It's good chance for us to refocus on some fundamentals, things that might get overlooked while we're in-season with all the game-planning and all that. So I think it's perfect timing."
And that's from a coach who generally isn't a fan of open dates.
"My competitive side does not like it," Iseman said. "We all love Friday nights and being able to compete. Definitely this year I'm loving it because it's what we needed at this point. But normally I would lean on the side that I don't like it because I like competing."
Croatan coach David Perry liked the timing of the open date, which comes after six weeks of nonconference play and before conference play begins this coming Friday. It also didn't hurt that the Cougars (0-6) get a chance to take a break from what has been a tough season to date.
"It kind of works out good to me," he said. "You play your nonconference games and get a week to get ready for the second season and get to go just relax for a weekend and let the kids work on some fine-tuning."
East Duplin coach Battle Holley was ambivalent about open dates.
"It doesn't matter to me," he said before adding that "normally" he isn't big on open dates. "We haven't had one since I've been here. But it's better than having what happened (when he was) at Kinston. We had an open date the week before the last game.
"But I think it's a good time. Everybody's off. So I don't think anybody's getting an advantage. You don't get to go watch a conference opponent live."
Southwest coach Phil Padgett was like his coaching colleagues in that he generally never liked open dates, but he liked the idea that this week off gave his players a chance to get healed up. Even so, he wasn't a fan of the timing.
"I'd rather have it a week or two earlier and then go into conference play with a game under our belt right before," he said. "But, you know, it's the same for everybody. So I'm just glad to have an open date because we definitely need one."
To a man, each coach said they practiced four days, giving their players Friday night off, which was a first for Padgett in his 26 years as the Stallions' head coach. Usually, he said, he will give his players Wednesday off during an open date, but not this year.
All the coaches said they left it up to their players whether to go to a game Friday night. Some said they would encourage them to see other teams, adding they also went to games. All also echoed Holley's sentiment as well.
"Act like they got some sense," he said. "I don't care if they go, just don't embarrass yourself, your family, your team. Just do the right thing."
Each coach had a different approach to how much hitting they did during the open week, with all saying they would hold out players who were banged up. Iseman said the Bulldogs would hit "bags and shields" more than each other.
Ditto for Perry, who because of both injuries and a small roster didn't plan on doing much hitting.
"We've got everybody playing," he said, "but we need some rest."
Padgett said the Stallions wouldn't hit as much as normal because of injuries. But, he added, "we'll hit a little because we have to."
Game or no game, Eason said the Monarchs, who are "pretty healthy," would hit as usual.
"We hit a lot anyways compared to a lot of teams," he added. "So we won't tape back any. We get used to it because we have a lot of contact in practice. I'm just one of those guys that if you don't hit a whole lot, you get hurt more I feel like. The kids get used to the physicality of football practice."

Network: The CW
Episodes: 13 (hour)
Seasons: One
TV show dates: October 16, 2012 — February 5, 2013
Series status: Cancelled
Performers include: Mamie Gummer, Justin Hartley, Aja Naomi King, Kelly McCreary, Harry Lennix, Necar Zadegan, and Michael Rady.
TV show description:
Emily Owens (Mamie Gummer) thought that she was done with the world of high school. After all, she graduated years ago and has now finished medical school as well. Unfortunately, her years as a geeky girl have come back to haunt her.
Emily is beginning an internship at Denver Memorial Hospital, a facility where her med-school crush Will Collins (Justin Hartley) is also an interning. Unfortunately, her high school nemesis, gorgeous and popular Cassandra Kopelson (Aja Naomi King), is also interning at Denver Memorial as well.
Another intern, Tyra Dupre (Kelly McCreary), warns Emily that the cliques at the hospital are all too familiar: the jocks have become orthopedic surgeons; the mean girls are in plastic surgery; and the rebels are in the ER. Tyra has her own awkward place as "the principal's kid" since her father, Doctor Tim Dupre (Harry Lennix), is the chief resident. Tyra latches onto Emily as a new friend, and immediately begins confiding in her. Nothing is too personal to share with Emily — Tyra is a lesbian, that she hasn't come out to her father yet and she's interested in dating a certain nurse.
Emily soon realizes that the long-standing rivalry she had with Cassandra back in high school is only going to grow. Both Emily and Cassandra are competing to impress brilliant Doctor Gina Bandari (Necar Zadegan), a world-famous cardiothoracic surgeon who's been an inspiration and role model to both of them for years.
While Emily and Cassandra vie for Doctor Bandari's approval, they're also competing for Will's attention. Handsome Will and Emily were friends in medical school but Emily was always hoping for more. Will has made it clear that he likes their relationship the way it is — as just friends. Emily struggles to convince herself that being friends with Will is enough, but it bothers her to see Will and Cassandra even talking with one another.
Meanwhile, Emily is also getting to know Doctor Micah Barnes (Michael Rady), a nerdy yet smart and handsome resident. Micah is faced with serious medical issues within his own family, and Emily's compassion proves an invaluable help. Impressed with Emily's medical skills and warm bedside manner, Micah brings her in on a delicate surgery and talks her through the procedure, boosting her confidence and bringing them closer — both professionally and personally.
With the long hours, the heavy workload, and personal drama filling her first days as an intern, Emily still fees like she's the new geeky kid all over again. It's just as awkward as high school. Somehow however, she's sure that she can make it.
Series Finale
Episode #13 — "Emily and… the Leap"
Emily's decision about starting a relationship with Micah becomes even more complicated when Will hears about it and begins to feel jealous. Emily and Tyra treat an unruly woman, but after learning of her home hoarding situation, Emily wonders if the woman's personality changes may be caused by her many cats. Now that Cassandra and Will have broken up, Cassandra's strictly professional behavior distracts Will and causes him to misdiagnose their patient. Meanwhile, Micah's sister comes to town after finding out the truth about their mother.

Organizers of the sixth annual Holly Days celebration expect downtown Kinston to be filled with holiday revelers tonight as they light the city's Christmas tree and kick off the holiday shopping season.
"The holiday season is a time to celebrate, and in the context of celebrating 250 years in Kinston we'd like to encourage our entire community to come out for tonight's event," said Mayor B.J. Murphy.
Murphy will be hitting the switch to light the tree, as well as lights strung through trees along both sides of Queen Street in the downtown district, during a 6 p.m. ceremony outside the Lenoir County Courthouse.
The tree-lighting ceremony will be emceed by WNCT CBS-9 weatherman David Sawyer, and includes music from vocalist Bonita Burney Simmons, the Arendell Parrott Academy chorus and orchestra, and an appearance by the Walt Disney Princesses.
The mayor said the lights will "bring joy to the spirits" of those who drive downtown during the holiday season.
"Being a part of this special ceremony is certainly enjoyable, and for the kids it's a night they won't forget," he said.
Revelers will then be escorted to Herritage Street by Kinston High School's marching band. Once there, they can patronize Herritage Landing businesses, take horse and buggy rides from the Lenoir County Farmer's Market up Herritage Street — the street will be closed from the intersection with Caswell Street to the intersection with Washington Avenue — or enjoy music from the KHS and Woodington Middle School bands, and the First Presbyterian Church choir, as well as entertainment from Flimsy the Clown.
Children's programs will also be available at the Kinston-Lenoir County Public Library on Queen Street, including "Christmas YesterYear" from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The program "Christmas YesterYear" includes stories and refreshments set in a Charles Dickens-era village in the Schechter Auditorium at the library.
Holly Days is put on each year by Pride of Kinston, which works in concert with the city of Kinston, local churches, schools, businesses and many more.
Pride Executive Director Adrian King said a former police information box on Queen Street will serve as an information kiosk during Holly Days and through the end of the year, providing downtown visitors with information about area businesses.
It will be staffed by Pride volunteer Nick Stark from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
"We have it stocked with information about the downtown stores," King said of the kiosk.
David Anderson can be reached at 252-559-1077 or email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at DavidFreePress.

Can I also say that Hornets international fans and fans in US outside of New orleans might outweigh the amount of fans in New Orleans and I am not kidding.. I don't think I could say this about any other team.
PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
Can I also say that Hornets international fans and fans in US outside of New orleans might outweigh the amount of fans in New Orleans and I am not kidding.. I don't think I could say this about any other team.
Some people want the name to be hurricanes come on thats like Oklahoma City naming there team the bombers. And cajuns is not a good name because most of the people in New Orleans are not cajuns. It all comes down to how the logo and uniforms look, if they are nice no one will care about the name.
ESPN is just making a mockery of this whole franchise
That said, the int'l fans have to understand that the name "Hornets" doesn't belong to New Orleans. It's like taking an idea from someone else, and instead of passing it on as your own idea, you kinda tell people that you bought the idea from someone. That's the New Orleans Hornets. It was never ours.
This rebrand is important because it's our chance to come up with something as unique as the Charlotte Hornets and everything that comes along with that (colors, logo, etc). Even if it's not, at least it's something we can call our own. And that's important to us. And we'd like our int'l fans to come along for the ride with us as well. After all, since when has New Orleans not wanted to throw a party with more people as opposed to less people?
Hornets was as good as dead the day Benson bought the team... lest we forget he said as much at his introductory press conference w/ Stern
The name Hornets is rooted in Charlotte's history (Gen. Cornwallis dubbed the city a "Hornet's Nest" during the Revolutionary War) and should be there, not New Orleans.
the Pelican is our state bird and as others have pointed out... is on our state flag. You don't have to go all that far to find a pelican around the city.
If Pelicans does become the team name (and by all accounts it seems it will)... it'll be all about the branding and if the team uses anything like the concepts we've seen in this thread... I think people will warm up to the name and look rather quickly
edit: I can almost guarantee we won't go the Oregon Duck route and use a design Disney will want... we'll use something highly fitting for a basketball team... though I wouldn't mind Seymour D Fair stopping by every now and then (that was the 1984 NOLA World's Fair pelican mascot)... maybe that'll be Bradley Handwerger's new tormenter... taking the place of king cake baby

AKRON, Ohio – The Miami University softball team was eliminated from the 2014 Mid-American Conference softball tournament on Thursday after it fell to Kent State, 4-1. The RedHawks finish their season 22-28, while the Golden Flashes improve to 25-19.
Kent State used a single followed by a double to score the game's first run off starting pitcher, sophomore Amber Logemann. It stayed that way until the top of the fourth, when the Flashes were able to plate two more on a deep double to center field. Senior pitcher Paige Myers came into relief at that point and allowed only one more run in the top of the seventh.
Miami was able to get a base runner in every inning, but had trouble bringing them across. The RedHawks finally broke through in the bottom of the fifth. Junior third baseman Remy Edwards reached on an error. Junior outfielder Tiyona Marshall put down a sacrifice bunt, but KSU's first baseman bobbled the ball, allowing both runners to reach safely. Miami attempted to score on a sacrifice fly, but Kim Kirkpatrick made a strong throw from left field to tag Edwards at the plate. The RedHawks did score however, when senior second baseman Kristy Arbour singled to second base allowing Marshall to come home.
In the bottom of the seventh, Marshall got on base with a double, but Kent State was able to retire the side to end Miami's season.
Arbour finished the game 2-for-4 with one RBI. Senior first baseman Allie Larrabee, sophomore outfielder Taylor Shuey, junior shortstop Kylie McChesney and Marshall each had hits for the RedHawks. In her final outing, Myers pitched 3.1 innings, allowing one run on four hits while striking out three.

It feels super heavy duty, unlike some other reactor i have seen at the same general price point. If you looking for a reactor for GFO I don't think you kind find a better one. works exactly the way it should . I am very happy with mine. works great... By sunny on 2/14/2013 sunny would recommend this product to a friend This is plug and play, runs media with no problems, easy to clean and refill. best unit yet By best unit yet on 2/14/2013 best unit yet would recommend this product to a friend Just got the my new unit up and running and by far it the best and well built unit I have. Its a little larger than some but seems to operate much better. The GFO tumbles every nice and slow, and much more evenly than other. It also looks like it will be lees prone to leaks. I got the kit came with pump and everything needed to get the unit up and running, and only to a few minutes. Thanks BRS. Best quality you can get By Edward on 1/28/2013 Edward would recommend this product to a friend I've had many reactors, and this one is by far the best quality. Really heavy duty, solid stuff. I will only use this for all of my reactor needs. Works great with an MJ1200 pump. Gets clogged way too easy By Aron on 1/11/2013 Aron wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I really wanted to love this reactor since I like so many products here at BRS but I simply cannot. The filter is pretty easy to install and get going and took me about 15-20 min to get fully functional. I use (the older version) MJ1200 with this reactor that seems Ok for the reactor. My biggest complaint is how easily this reactor gets clogged...I use it mixed with GFO and Carbon and after a week I get no flow coming out of it. I do not understand because the reactor is only 1/3 - 1/2 full of media. When it gets clogged I have to take it apart and clean out the inside canister to clean it out. My next problem is the sponges that are provided are there to hold the media in the top of the canister when you are mixing GFO and Carbon. However, once the media gets wet and heavy it starts to sink and the sponge sinks down a bit making the media tumble, and making the GFO break down the carbon. This drives me CRAZY. I am an OCD kind of person and I hate everything that is not perfection. I understand this product gets glamorous reviews but it simply did not work for me. I would not recommend it. Quality By Joseph on 1/7/2013 Joseph would recommend this product to a friend The quality of this unit is heads and shoulders above any of the "Name Brand" Reactors. Heavier build, tighter tolerances in both the unit and its accessories. Easy to maintain. Works awesome By Kyle on 1/2/2013 Kyle would recommend this product to a friend Way better than the competion. so easy to change out the media, water doesnt shooot everywhere. i love it Excellent Product! By Robert on 12/28/2012 Robert would recommend this product to a friend Overall it is my first experience with a reactor of any kind. It is extremely simple to configure. I did not need to purchase the MJ1200 with the unit, as I had an older style. The flow from the MJ1200 is a bit heavy for a single reactor but I would think perfect for two! So might as well get the bigger option first. Overnight my corals have began to open back up to full - my finger leather is showing great polyp extension for the first time in months. My phosphates were off the charts! great for GFO & carbon By 241wrasse on 12/22/2012 241wrasse would recommend this product to a friend 2 of these in use - 1 for GFO, 1 for carbon. Nice design, well made, easy maintenance (don't lose the wrench!). Running BRS GFO, maintaining 0ppm phosphate. Carbon reactor using BRS "large particle lignite", tank water clean & clear, livestock happy - which is the ultimate goal. My experience By flipper on 12/3/2012 flipper would recommend this product to a friend I use it for gfo reacter. I Like the reacter but hate the maxi jet pump it came with. It too noisy. So if you are buying it do get the pump. I have fed mine off the main pump . And is working great. Just what I needed.... By JERRY on 11/28/2012 JERRY would recommend this product to a friend These units are plug and play, with everything else I have to tinker with, adjust and trial and error this component worked flawlessly. I have a double on my wish list and with my next purchase i plan on ordering one. Works perfect By Colin on 11/25/2012 Colin would recommend this product to a friend I bought this reactor to run GFO in my reef tank with some hair algae and it works great! easy to use and takes no brain to set up! Will be buying another to run carbon!

This wig is so easy to use for everyday wear. I bought it in SF33/24 flame with dk brown roots. Because of those wonderful roots....that is what just makes the wig look soooo real! My 24 yr old daughter thought I had my hair done and loved it. She could not believe it was not my real hair. Not too much hair to be unbelievable...but not to thin either. The flame color (kind of a burnt auburny) would compliment any skin tone and have it not even matter what color eyebrows you have. Loved it so much...I bought another exact same one in the same color...just to have on hand when I am washing the other one! I cannot imagine being without one in my arsenal...just throw it on and go! Gotta love that....!

Looks natural

Does look like real hair. The fit is good. I am waiting to see how it holds up on a real windy day. The winds can get up to 40 mph. The color I wanted was not available so I ordered a shade lighter and am pleased with it. The bangs could be a little longer.It does not resemble the picture on the web. I have not been able to duplicate that style which was one of the reasons that I purchased it. The style it had when it came out of the box is OK. I have used heating tool, but am not able to get a curl. Maybe I am apprehensive about getting the heat too hot.I will keep it because it does look natural.

Comments about Shannon VersaFiber® Wig by Paula Young®:
Love, Love ,Love this wig!! It is my first and I was really afraid to get one. I have health problems and the medications that I have been taking was making my hair dry and brittle and break. This is the style and color that I have wore for years, no one even knows that it is a wig! I have even had people tell me that my hair looks so healthy! I plan in getting another one just like it!coco
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I am ordering another Shannon
By Cookie
from Western Kentucky
My hair is hard for me to style and I don't like taking a lot of time to do it. I have to be up at 3:00 a.m. so this is a real life saver! This is my fourth PY wig and is my favorite hands down Very natural and comfortable and the color 812A#6 is perfect. The style actually made me look several years younger.

This is my first VersaFiber wig. I will never go back to the all synthetic ones from now on. The movement in the "hair" is so natural and it just flows like a dream. I LOVE this wig and will be back for more!!! I will have it styled by my hairdresser. It needs a trim as it is maybe 2" too long for my features, also I want the bangs properly balanced in. I am thrilled and THANK YOU Paula for bringing affordable wigs to those of us on small budgets. :-)

My new "hair" - wow
By Alice
from Sonora, CA
About Me Minimalist
Looks so natural, comfy. I took it to the hairdresser to have the bangs clipped, since I'm a klutz. I have ordered 3 of the Shannon. Please give us a heads up if you are going to discontinue the Shannon. Laid off and this/these wigs just give me so much confidence, well at least hair-wise :)

Found my Miracle in this wig.
By Deb from Bama
from Huntsville,Al.
I have found a wonderful wig in the Shannon. My hair is falling out due to an illness, and this is the closest thing to my real hair.The feel,style and color (8/12A#6),the movement,and being able to use a little heat when wanted is truely amazing to me.I love the way it falls so real around my face. The length and cut is perfect for me. I ordered another wig 5 months ago from another company. It is now put away out of sight. I paid alot more for it than the Shannon.I ordered a large thinking I needed it but with the Shannon I'm so glad I got it in average. Fit's perfect and so comfortable.It stay's put and no worry in it shifting on me. Only wish I had known about Paula Young back then.As a matter of fact when I ordered the Shannon I also ordered the Chantel and the Annabella. I love them all and WILL order all 3 again. I never want to be without either of them.The color is so true to life in the way it looks. Thank you Paula for such great products and in making me feel good and beautiful once again.

This is one of the most natural looking wigs that I have ever seen and used and I am picky. Very few people know it is a wig. My hairdresser was floored and my dermatologist wanted to know where I got it to refer to her patients. That is the highest complement. Thank you for this great quality product.

I have bought this product twice!
By Sparkle
from Arkansas
I wear every day (cancer patient) and it requires little styling, but you can adjust to your taste, trim bangs, trim ends, wash in small tub in sink and hang to dry (I dry upside down and spray with PY shampoo & conditioner clipping the elastic around the wig base on a hanger with clothes pins hung on shower curtain rod)

Rett Davis considers the expansive front lawn at
"This is sacred ground for Burlingtonites," he said.
Depending on the time of year, you may see the school's marching band practice there, watch young people play soccer or notice adults and children flying kites. It's also one of the popular venues for watching
Davis and others at the New Leaf Society weren't the only ones who thought the Williams lawn needed sprucing up. He said City Manager Harold Owen called him suggesting it was one of the key green spaces in or near
On a chilly Tuesday morning,
"These are going to be large shade trees in time," he said about the new plantings. "It will give the school more of a campus-like look," similar to a college or university.
With humor, he added: "I can see the trees getting rolled with toilet paper after a big (sports) victory someday."
"I can't wait until everything greens up" this spring and summer,
"Sugar maples used to be all over campus years ago, but they slowly died," he said.
The school's alumni association is raising money for a new sign, and the New Leaf Society will provide landscaping when that is in place,
Joe Ferrell, Williams' principal, said the campus has lost some of its "curb appeal," but he is confident the new landscaping will boost that while increasing school pride.
THE COST of the Williams project was about $20,000, and the New Leaf Society will maintain it for two years.
"We tried to pick something that will be here 35 to 50 years from now," he said.
The New Leaf Society has been working to enhance areas leading into downtown,
All of the money – about $880,000 – has come from private sources.

The Groovy Swing Console allows a user to enter and run Groovy scripts. This page documents the features of this user interface.
The Groovy Console:
- Groovy Console is launched via "groovyConsole" or "groovyConsole.bat", both located in "$GROOVY_HOME/bin"
- The Console has an input area and an output area.
- You type a Groovy script in the input area.
- When you select "Run" from the "Actions" menu, the console compiles the script and runs it.
- Anything that would normally be printed on System.out is printed in the output area.
- If the script returns a non-null result, that result is printed.
Running Scripts
Handy tips for running scripts:
- Ctrl+Enter and Ctrl+R are both shortcut keys for "Run Script".
- If you highight just part of the text in the input area, then Groovy runs just that text.
- The result of a script is the the value of the last expression executed.
- You can turn the System.out capture on and off by selecting "Capture System.out" from the "Actions" menu
Editing Files
You can open any text file, edit it, run it (as a Groovy Script) and then save it again when you are finished.
- Select File -> Open (shortcut key ctrl+O) to open a file
- Select File -> Save (shortcut key ctrl+S) to save a file
- Select File -> New File (shortcut key ctrl+Q) to start again with a blank
input area
History and results
- You can pop-up a gui inspector on the last (non-null) result by selecting "Inspect Last" from the "Actions" menu. The inspector is a convenient way to view lists and maps.
- The console remembers the last ten script runs. You can scroll back and forth through the history by selecting "Next" and "Previous" from the "Edit" menu. Ctrl-N and ctrl-P are convenient shortcut keys.
- The last (non-null) result is bound to a variable named '_' (an underscore).
- The last result (null and non-null) for every run in the history is bound into a list variable named '
__' (two underscores). The result of the last run is
_[-1], the result of the second to last run is
[-2]and so forth.
And more
- You can attempt to interrupt a long running task by clicking the "interrupt" button on the small dialog box that pops up when a script is executing.
- You can change the font size by selecting "Smaller Font" or "Larger Font" from the "Actions menu"
- The console can be run as an Applet thanks to groovy.ui.ConsoleApplet
- Code is auto indented when you hit return
- You can drag'n drop a Groovy script over the text area to open a file
- You can modify the classpath with which the script in the console is being run by adding a new JAR or a directory to the classpath from the Script menu
- Error hyperlinking from the output area when a compilation error is expected or when an exception is thrown
Embedding the Console
To embed a Swing console in your application, simply create the Console object,
load some variables, and then launch it. The console can be embedded in either Java or Groovy code.
The Java code for this is:
Once the console is launched, you can use the variable values in Groovy code.
An example of how to embed either the GroovyConsole or GroovyShell in a Spring Web application can be found at Embedding a Groovy Console in a Java Server Application
Visualizing script output results
You can customize the way script output results are visualized. Let's see how we can customize this. For example, viewing a map result would show something like this:
What you see here is the usual textual representation of a Map. But, what if we enabled custom visualization of certain results? The Swing console allows you to do just that. First of all, you have to ensure that the visualization option is ticked: View -> Visualize Script Results — for the record, all settings of the Groovy Console are stored and remembered thanks to the Preference API. There are a few result visualizations built-in: if the script returns a java.awt.Image, a javax.swing.Icon, or a java.awt.Component with no parent, the object is displayed instead of its toString() representation. Otherwise, everything else is still just represented as text. Now, create the following Groovy script in ~/.groovy/OutputTransforms.groovy:
The Groovy Swing console will execute that script on startup, injecting a transforms list in the binding of the script, so that you can add your own script results representations. In our case, we transform the Map into a nice-looking Swing JTable. And we're now able to visualize maps in a friendly and attractive fashion, as the screenshot below shows:
AST browser
Groovy Console can visualize the AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) representing the currently edited script, as shown by the screenshot below. This is particularly handy when you want to develop AST transformations.

If you're looking for a simple invitation and rsvp cards this is it! They are perfect!
Beautiful Quality
I bought these for my wedding in September, and we couldn't be happier. The paper was beautiful, the print was pristine and I absolutely loved how well they were packaged!
Beautiful card and several option!
Was able to personalize my invitation with font, colors and to match the theme of my wedding.
Great Service
I'm really happy with buying from Magnet Street. They make sure to take care of you. I received all of my invitation and thank you cards in a nice coated cardboard magnetic closing box. The paper quality is great and I'm happy with having the ability to customize the colors (and with receiving a sample with the custom colors). These invites are classy and simple. I recommend buying this design and with buying from Magnet Street.
Exquisite invitations
At first I was a little apprehensive about doing my own invitations. Not knowning what the final outcome might turn out to be, made me nervous. Nevertheless I went ahead, designed my wedding invites, the process of designing went smooth and easy. My invites turned out to be gorgeous! I recommend this product. Thank you Magnetstreet!

Why are computers still so difficult to use?
by Lee Koo (ADMIN) - 2/11/11 2:14 PM
Why are computers still so difficult to use?
Hi, Lee, I know this is not the technical question you normally receive, but I was hoping you can have your community members help me out in a big way.
As a final year college student I need to carry out an independent project looking at an issue in the domain of my subject. I chose the question, "Why are computers still so difficult to use?" To start my project I compiled several questions to explore experiences of computer users (see below). A summary of what I am wanting to look at are competency levels of users with computers, how they got into using them, the time they'll spend on them in a day, their challenges and how they manage them, their happiness in using them, their thoughts on the increasing functionality/pervasiveness of computers, and their opinions as to whether computing is any easier now. It would be great if you could give me some pointers as to suitable themes you think would make a good project--even if you were to challenge the title! Could you also tell me of the context in which you use computers (e.g., as a software developer, moderate user, etc.)? Thanks in advance for everyone's help. Here are the questions I would like to ask the community:
Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
Here are the questions I would like to ask the community:
-- Can you remember when you started using computers?
-- Would you say this was an easy process to get to grips with?
-- Since then, has your journey been straightforward, and if not, can you remember what some of your challenges were?
-- Do you have any challenges even now?
-- Did you/do you have any coping strategies?
-- Looking back, do you think the challenges you faced are any easier to tackle now?
-- On a typical day, how long will you be interacting with computer devices?
-- Do you appreciate the extended functionality/increasing pervasiveness of computing now?

What size hat size you should buy will be determined by the measurement of your head. It is important to note that each brand may vary. In order to properly measure your head, follow these steps:
1. Wrap a soft tape measure around your forehead, just above your eyebrows and ears. Keep the tape measure level from the front to the back of your head.
2. If you do not have a flexible tape measure, try marking a string and measuring it against a ruler.
If the hat is a gift or you cannot measure their head, measure the inside of a current hat they wear.

Ephemera as Fine Art

The final product was pretty great. We have it hanging just inside of our door right above the USPS table.

June 19, 2014
As a bit of background - people send in slogans for us to purchase and put on our little buttons, magnets and stickers. To deal with the LARGE number of submissions, we have created three rejection letters. Of course, the letters are all written with a dash of Ephemera humor.
The first one encourages you to send more - you're on the right the track.
The second, just says no thank you. Please do more research and then send us more.
The third, tells you to quit contacting us. Usually this one comes after 50+ attempts that were soooooo bad, we died a little after reading them.

I am 6ft. tall and these are the best pants. I ordered 8pairs. Thanks for making an affordable, well made garment. I am now a life long customer.
Brazil IN
Love these jeans!
I first ordered these jeans with apprehension -- I have always worn wide-legged pants to hide my hips but, with the new styles of longer and un-tucked shirts, wearing my previous pants made me look like a 'cylinder.' My first order of four of these jeans brought me right into the current fashion and I feel wonderful! These pants are not only 'stretchy' but soft and incredibly comfortable. I have just ordered four more (in a smaller size since they do tend to stretch out while wearing them) and cannot wait to try them on! If they are a bit small, I promised myself to lose a few pounds rather than exchange them for a larger size!
Coral Gables, FL
These are the best looking jeans I have ever worn. I wish there were more colors and more available in my size. I could wear them every day they are so comfortable and flattering.
