Velti is a mobile marketing and advertising company. In 2013 Blackstone acquired the assets of Velti and is currently operating under two brand names, mGage in the US, UK and India and Velti in the rest of the world.
Velti was founded in 2001 by Alex Moukas[1] and Chris Kaskavelis[2] as a software and ASP provider serving the telecommunications industry. The same year, Nicholas Negroponte, then the laboratory chairman of Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab, joined the company as a non-executive director. In 2002, Velti gained Vodafone as a customer. By the end of that year, the company had reached 35 employees.
After a 2006 initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange's AIM Market,[3] Velti further expanded its U.S. operations with the opening of an office in New York. A San Francisco office was created the following year.
Beginning in 2007, Velti entered into a series of joint ventures and partnerships with the Interpublic Group to create Ansible, a mobile marketing joint venture.[4]
In 2008, Velti opened a new office in Beijing and made an investment in CASEE.[5] In India, Velti partnered with HT Media Limited, India's second-largest media group, on a mobile marketing joint venture called HT Mobile Solutions.[6] 2008 also saw the opening of a new Velti office in Moscow.[7]
In 2009, Velti announced the acquisition of Ad Infuse, a provider of personalized mobile advertising in the U.S. increasing the company's headcount to more than 400, including more than 200 technology staff.[8]
In 2010, the company announced the acquisition of Mobclix,.[9] A second 2010 acquisition added Media Cannon,[10] a developer of mobile advertising tools and technology. By the end of 2010, Velti had grown to more than 500 employees in 30 countries.
In January, 2011, Velti completed an initial public offering of 12 million common stock shares on NASDAQ under the trading symbol VELT. The IPO raised approximately $150 million, according to ROAMdata (Boston-based subsidiary of Ingenico)..[11]
Financial troubles and bankruptcy[edit]
In late summer 2013, Velti was forced to write down nearly $111 million from Q2 2013 revenues, laying off nearly 200 employees and placing Mobclix on the chopping block to raise spare cash. These actions led to a stock nosedive to mere pennies a share, while rumors of bankruptcy swirled.[12]
On November 4, 2013, Velti files for bankruptcy protection.[13]
On December 16, 2013, Velti de-listed from the Nasdaq market after declaring: "The voluntary decision to delist from NASDAQ was taken following the Company's review of several factors, including its previously disclosed noncompliance with the minimum bid price requirements of NASDAQ. Also among these factors is the Company's inability to satisfy questions raised by NASDAQ concerning its ability to maintain eligibility for continued listing on NASDAQ following completion of its proposed sale of its mobile marketing business, as well as the Chapter 11 proceedings for certain of its U.S. subsidiaries and the Chapter 7 filing of Mobclix." [14] Velti shares are now traded on the OTC market. [15]

NJ gov. scraps long-planned NJ-NY railroad tunnel
TRENTON, N.J. As a candidate last year, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was willing to support the planned New Jersey-to-Manhattan rail tunnel. As governor, he now says the nation's largest public transportation project is a luxury the state can no longer afford.
Christie justified his decision to scrap the project on Thursday as a move to protect the long-range financial interests of New Jersey taxpayers. But supporters of the nearly $9 billion project said the decision will have the exact opposite result.
U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., who helped secure federal funding for the project, called the cancellation "one of the biggest policy blunders in New Jersey's history."
"Without increased transportation options into Manhattan, New Jersey's economy will eventually be crippled," he said.
Christie was set to meet with U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood on Friday, whom he spoke with Thursday before announcing that he was killing the tunnel. It's unclear what was said during that conversation and whether Christie told LaHood of his decision.
LaHood spokeswoman Olivia Alair said in an e-mailed statement Thursday that LaHood and Christie plan to meet Friday afternoon to "discuss a path forward on the ARC tunnel project."
More than a half-billion dollars has been spent on the tunnel - dubbed Access to the Region's Core, or ARC - and construction began last year. The largest federal transportation project in the country, it was expected to double train traffic in and out of New York City during peak commute times once completed in 2018.
But over the years, cost projections for the tunnel also have nearly doubled.
It started at $5 billion in 2005 and grew to $8.7 billion by 2008. In recent months, Federal Transit Administrator Peter Rogoff has made public statements that put the price tag between $9 billion and $10 billion. On Thursday, Christie said his advisers put the costs at $11 billion to $14 billion.
"The bottom line is this, New Jersey has gone for too long and for too many decades ordering things that they can't pay for," he said at a news conference. "This project has some flaws to it, but in the end this is a financial decision. When weighing all the interests, I simply cannot put the taxpayers of the State of New Jersey on what would be a never-ending hook."
A month ago, the Republican governor ordered a 30-day halt to all work on the tunnel over concerns that it would go over budget. On Thursday, he directed state transportation officials to explore other approaches to modernize and expand rail capacity into New York.
Lautenberg acknowledged that cost overruns on a project of the tunnel's size were inevitable but said Christie's numbers are inflated.
The federal government and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey had each pledged $3 billion to the tunnel. New Jersey had committed $2.7 billion. The project is being run by NJ Transit.
New Jersey Assemblyman John Wisniewski, who leads the Assembly transportation panel, filed a public records request Friday for documents pertaining to the tunnel. He has accused Christie's advisers of inflating the cost of building the tunnel to justify what some believe will be the governor's decision to divert the money to smaller road and rail projects. Christie has not said how he plans to use the money.

I had been slowly working my way through the PS4 reveal (because why not?) since last night and at about the 2 hour mark the player just crashed and restarted the video, I skipped ahead to where the video crashed and watched for another 5 minutes before it crashed again so I'm giving up for now.
Also the most recent e3 trailers all freeze exactly 5 seconds in, I'm not too interested in that stuff so that's no big deal, just said I'd report it anyway.

U-T San Diego transforms itself into an innovative multimedia company that has promise as a national model
The U-T's profit figures give Lynch confidence that the company can take its grand experiment on the road. He says the company vision is to take the U-T TV concept to other cities in the United States and in the process, create a network that reinvents how Americans get their news.
But first, U-T TV must conquer San Diego, and that's going to be a considerable challenge, said Tim Wulfemeyer, a former television reporter and producer and now journalism professor at San Diego State University. "They have to differentiate themselves," he said, "giving something that is bigger, faster, prettier and more entertaining." What that revolutionary new local news television blend is hasn't yet been discovered, Wulfemeyer said.
Lynch and his fellow U-T execs say they are confident they can remake television viewing habits in San Diego and nationally.
"That's the opportunity and it's exciting," Lynch said.
Jeff Rowe is former news director for KDOC and OCN in Orange County.

Ash spill a factor in TVA decision to raise 4 dams
Action taken to meet unlikely threat of big flood, president says
TVA President and CEO Tom Kilgore answers questions during a news conference at TVA headquarters.
The Kingston coal fly ash spill weighed heavily in the decision to raise the elevation of four TVA dams to meet the threat of a catastrophic, although highly unlikely, flood, TVA President and CEO Tom Kilgore acknowledged Friday.
The likelihood of a flood actually happening of the magnitude TVA used in a computer model is remote, but that doesn't matter if it does happen, Kilgore told reporters during a news conference at TVA headquarters in Knoxville.
Prior to Dec. 22, 2008, the possibility that a holding pond at the Kingston Fossil Plant would collapse and release 5.4 million cubic yards of coal fly ash into the Emory River and across 300 acres of Roane County landscape would have seemed remote to most people.
"One of the lessons we learned out of Kingston is don't let any stone go unturned if you've got a potential problem," Kilgore said.
TVA is spending $6 million to install temporary wire and sand structures to raise the height of Tellico, Watts Bar, Fort Loudoun and Cherokee dams by about 4 feet each. This is after TVA did an update of its river modeling program in the fall and determined that the "probable maximum flood" elevations possible in the Tennessee Valley watershed were higher than thought.
Probable maximum flood is a concept used in building dams and is a worst-case scenario of the most severe rainfall and flood conditions possible in a given area.
The update that revealed the change in probable maximum flood levels was done as part of the process of applying for an operating license for the Bellefonte nuclear plant in Hollywood, Ala. Asked if the safety measures being taken at the four dams were being done as part of TVA's nuclear program, Kilgore said this was not the case.
"This problem was discovered through hydrologic analysis for the Bellefonte potential restart, but once it was discovered, our hydro engineers had to go back and look at this," he said. "And the reason we are putting up these temporary barriers is that we need to do more analysis."
Residents near the dams, particularly in Tellico Village near Tellico Dam, have expressed concerns about the safety measures, which have involved placing wire baskets lined and filled with sand on the dams. Some worry TVA plans to raise water levels, some say the new structures are unsightly, and some just question the need to spend $6 million on temporary measures to deal with something TVA says likely will never happen.
Kilgore said there are no plans to raise water levels. He said he could not estimate how much a permanent fix to the problem might cost because TVA has to do further hydrologic analysis that could take two to three years before it knows what steps, if any, would need to be taken.
"It could be that when we complete our permanent analysis that we can take it back down and not have anything there; that's not out of the question. It could be that we have to go in and add something more substantial," he said.
While TVA is taking criticism for its actions with the dams, if it did not take them and a catastrophic flood occurred, TVA would bear the blame for the results, Kilgore said.
"If it occurs, it is no longer a remote event," he said. "The probability of me having a car accident on the way home today is probably less than one in 100, but if it occurs, it's done."

The possible explanation for players leaving Nike...

I'm not sure the numbers are quite what they seem with these sort of deals. Federer is a far more known sporting entity and better known per se globally.... the devil is in how these deal are arranged. Rory might have signed for 10 years for a figure like $200m... that would make his deal $20m/yr which is not far off, perhaps less, than what Federer is touted to be getting.*
Golf marketing is also a longer gameplan than tennis given how long the careers are, and it's typical for players to go in and out of medium term (1-3 years) form much moreso than a sport like tennis. I would bet that the up-front deals golf players get are actually smaller than what the top tennis guys get except the golf guys have bigger incentives so they can smoke it in a good year. Golf imagery has little sex appeal or street value unlike tennis so results are more directly linked to marketing clout than tennis. So Rory's deal could, in effect be "theoretical money" which he actually still has to earn through performances.
Additionally - having been privy to the details of a sporting (team) sponsorship deal some years ago from the brand side - some numbers you see touted in the media about sponsorship deals are certainly best-case scenario numbers which apply
the team/player achieves X, Y and Z. Many football (soccer) team sponsorship deals work like this - a performance based amount. I don't see why other sports wouldn't adopt similar thinking give or take any sport-specific nuances and operating practices.
Nike golf revenue in 2011 was $623 million (4% down on the previous year)... Another of Nike's affiliate brands, Converse, had over $1.1 billion. Golf isn't as big as you think and certainly not big enough to be writing Rory a cheque for $200m. Nike in it's entirety had revenue of $20.9 billion in 2011. Golf is less than 3% of their revenue.
Nike tennis is
an affiliate so their numbers are harder to come by. Given how many more people play tennis and how many more tennis clubs there are than golf courses globally I wouldn't be surprised if Nike tennis was bigger than golf. A look at their top sponsored players indicates they have money to spend - either because the business is big or because they put more of their marketing budget into player sponsorship (as a ratio).
(*all things considered we have no way of knowing how accurate his supposed endorsement fee is - it may be he gets another $2m every time he wins a major or re-reaches the #1 ranking - it wouldn't surprise me at all given how creative IMG deals famously can be)

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
My Rating
We took the hop on/hop off bus twice, since we got the 2-day pass. The first tou guide was terrific and we enjoyed it very much. The 2nd tour guide on the following day was truly awful...we had to get off and walk! The route itself is good, with lots of great stops. It's the guide who can make the tour special, and we experienced it extra-special and pretty awful! Five stars for first guide, no stars for second guide.
Dublin, Ireland
My Rating
We enjoyed this tour very much, despite the downpour at the Giants Causeway! The scenery was superb. Our driver/guide was top-notch and adapted the tour appropriately to avoid the July 12 marches in Belfast. We were disappointed to miss Belfast, but it was the right call. The tour is a bit long.
Edinburgh, United Kingdom
My Rating
This was a wonderful taste of the Highlands and our guide was terrific - Ian, I believe. His narrative and descriptions were entrancing and he was very responsive to our group's questions and interests. We would highly recommend this tour - the scenery was unbeatable and we liked the inclusion of the little nature walks on some of our stops.
Paris, France
My Rating
The Giverny and lunch parts of this tour deserve 5 stars! Our guides were wonderful, the bus was clean and spacious, and Giverny was, of course, amazing. Our lunch stop along the stream was perfect. However, I would not recommend anyone going to Versailles. Our tour guide did her best, but the crowds at Versailles were, in my opinion, dangerous. The gardens at Versailles were magnificent - but the struggle through the throngs inside was not.

As cash dries up in the current recession, people are resorting to bartering their skills in exchange for health care in the US. Ads offering services such as cooking or repair work in exchange for dental and eye exams are becoming more common. A woman in New Mexico, for example, hopes to get an urgently needed filling in exchange for an exquisite evening meal, while a California man is offering his services as a repairman in exchange for an eye examination. A physiotherapist in Maryland is offering massages for violin lessons.
Offers such as these have been booming in the US where health insurance coverage is not universal. Millions of people don't have health insurance or the coverage they have is not sufficient to cover all their needs. Patients are seeking ways to pay their doctor bills at websites, barter exchanges and a variety of agencies. They also are going to see their doctors without any money in their pockets and offering payment in goods such as vegetables and firewood and in services such as Spanish lessons.
More than Money is the name of an initiative run out of the health centre in Goshen, Indiana. Small jobs are arranged for patients in need so that they can be treated. Rising unemployment over the last year resulted in a doubling of the number of people who couldn't pay their medical bills, said James Gingerich, the centre's founder and medical director. It gives people the possibility to go to the doctor without feeling shame, he said, adding that patients feel better about the arrangement because they are not taking charity.
There are 400 registered barter exchanges in the US. One of the most professional is ITEX based in Bellevue, Washington and is used by 24,000 companies to trade without using cash. Steve White, chief
executive of ITEX, said in the last year the number of medical services providers has increased by about 50 per cent.
The amount of trade conducted monthly through ITEX would equal about 1 million dollars, White said on Fox News. The providers in greatest demand are dentists and eye doctors, but chiropractors also are highly sought after. All who engage in trade at the site are required to report the transaction to the tax authorities.
Every transaction is noted in the books - at least at recognized operations like the Barter Clinic in Floyd, Virginia. Ten per cent of the clinic's patients pay for their services using "alternative means," said a doctor there. Whether firewood, cabbage or baby-sitting is on offer, the office calculates its value in dollars. Other clinics have established a special bonus point system for bartered transactions.
The principle is not new. Ron Nelson, co-founder of a US association of rural clinics, said that in the 30 years he's worked in such clinics, providing treatment in exchange for goods or services has been a matter of course. In a television interview Nelson said he's received everything imaginable - from chickens to
greens - in exchange for his medical services.
This is a situation that President Barack Obama would like to change with the introduction of a health insurance reform proposal now being debated in Congress. In the US, the only industrial country without universal health insurance, the number of people who must pay their doctor bills out of their own pocket is estimated at 47 million. Others are uninsured or have insurance only through their employers and if they lose their job, they also eventually lose their insurance if they don't find a new job that offers a group policy.

Major League Baseball Handicapping: Weather
Major league Baseball is one of the few professional sports that are directly affected by Mother Nature. Basketball and Hockey play indoors (for the most part) and football will play in any type of weather that is not severe. Baseball however is always at the mercy of the weather. Already the 2013 MLB season has felt the brunt of the weather as the Minnesota Twins have had numerous games cancelled due to inclement weather. At this rate the Twins could be playing triple header baseball for the rest of the season. Seriously, the weather is a factor that the baseball handicapper has to consider if they want to get serious about wining money.
The main culprit is rain which will actually stop and / or cancel a baseball game. Because of this it is paramount that the handicapper knows the rules that their particular sports book has set forth to cover a wager in case a game is cancelled, suspended, or shortened due to rain. Sports books will have different rules intact to handle a situation and the time to find out is before you encounter the situation, not after. Usually the total is the more affected outcome of the rain out. The sides are often cancelled with the wager reimbursed as a "push". Knowing the rules will help a handicapper know the ropes or even avoid wagering on a game that can be disrupted by rain. Rain is not the only weather element that can affect the outcome of a baseball game.
Wind is another weather variable that deserves extra attention when handicapping a baseball game. Many sports betting sites will address this issue with the direction and speed of the wind. However the experienced handicapper will also want to know the direction it will go during the game as compared to the ballpark. There is a big difference between winds blowing out of a ball park or winds blowing in. The difference in wind direction could mean the difference between the total going over or under.
Heat is another variable that can be looked at. In the summer months pitching in Texas is a nightmare. This could hinder the ability of the starting pitcher to be effective and disrupt any wager. All of these variables show that when it comes to baseball, handicapping weather is a must.
Bangthebook.com has assembled a handicapping page featuring some of the most unique tools in the baseball betting world. All of these betting tools are located in one place for quick use and a sure fire way to make money betting on baseball.

The Stars for All—Géospace: an Interface Between Astronomy
and Its Popularization (Abstract)
pdf ps
Bernard Pellequer
Director of Géospace Observatoire d'Aniane, France
Experience with the relationship between science and its popularization
shows the importance of personal contact. For more than twenty-five years, Geospace
Observatoire d'Aniane, in southern France, has served as an interface between the
world of research in Earth Sciences and those of the Universe. Those active on the
site work in close collaboration with research workers in these disciplines, making
information available at the local level in a variety of ways. A plea is made in favor
of scientific popularization at the general public level, at which a real debate on
the role of science can take place.

"This is a very significant achievement because the early stage of the human ovarian follicle is really hard to grow in vitro. They're very fragile and delicate," said Min Xu, a paper coauthor and research assistant professor at the Feinberg School.
As the immature egg grew inside the follicle, it produced hormones just as it would inside a woman's body.
"That's a good sign that these follicles are healthy. The actual egg also is growing to the same size that we would see in an egg that a woman's body has ovulated," said Susan Barrett, a coauthor and post-doctoral fellow at the Feinberg School.
Women currently have few good options to save their ability to reproduce after cancer treatment. Men are able to freeze their sperm for later use before they begin fertility-destroying cancer therapies. The best option to preserve the fertility of a female cancer patient is to collect her eggs, fertilize them with sperm and freeze the resulting embryos. However, this option is often not a practical choice because it can delay cancer treatment, can't be performed on those who have not reached puberty, and requires fertilization -- a problem for those who do not have a male partner or do not wish to use donor sperm.
Other researchers have experimented with freezing entire ovaries or strips of ovarian tissue and implanting them in a woman's body once she is ready to have children. But for cancer patients, it is possible that cancer cells may be present in the ovarian tissue and result in a new cancer after the tissue is implanted. However, if follicles could be removed from the tissue and grown in the laboratory successfully, as this study suggests, then a new fertility preservation technique might become avail

I don't know. A few people have mentioned this thought of men being more understanding, accommodating, or helping women overcome sexism in some way, and I don't think men can be as big a part of that as some might think.
DeniseO wrote, "Many men thankfully in recent years are aware of these issues and don't coddle women or try to protect or fix things for them. These men, also often recognize this unique dynamic and don't step down or feel emasculated when she's trying to gain the skills that come so easily to males because she's not had the opportunities he has had."
Would a man ever write "Many women thankfully in recent years are aware of these issues" ? I don't think so, I think a man would just stick his thumb in your eye and tell you to pound sand, even the idea of wanting to be accepted for who you are and have the world be a more accommodating place is more of a feminine idea than it is masculine (traditionally)
I guess my point is, can you ever really win a traditionally man's game using traditionally women's rules ?
DeniseO also wrote, "It's the simple fact the men take, push, lead, assume, direct, teach, advise across almost all areas of life, with impunity. When or if a woman steps out of the "mold" she's quickly set straight, told where she needs to be, called a bitch (often by other women) when the men are being called sir in the same position or situation." and I think that is a big part of it.
To that I would respond that as DeniseO also said, women are often the problem as much as men, but because of that I think it might be fair to say that women are ultimately the WHOLE problem, because is it really a man's responsibility to fix this ? Isn't that part of the problem, that a woman might wait for a man to fix everything ?
Even allowing a man to be in a position to decide that a woman will or won't be treated fairly is allowing him being in charge. Someone above (I forget who, and I paraphrase for effect) said that on his boat the women are encouraged to do this and that, to take the helm, etc ... isn't that the whole problem, no matter what she's doing, he's still the one in charge! He's still making the decisions, what if he woke up tomorrow and decided he didn't like how it was going and started making different decisions, or what if the man wasn't sexist 99.99% of the time but still was sexist the 0.01% of the time that it actually mattered ?
I'm not even sure where I'm going with this except that I don't think a woman's problem is a man when it comes to sexism, no matter how she might be treated. They call it "taking charge" because it is TAKEN, not because it is given, and men who put themselves in charge don't wait around for it they just do it, it is as much about independence and daring as anything.
Zeehag, DeniseO, and others get respect here from men and women alike, that's a simple fact. They are independent people and I don't think any man here would believe for a moment that their strings are being pulled by anyone. No man gave them that right to be independent, I'm sure they just woke up one day and took it, the same as anyone in command of their own boat, and that's how it works no matter who you are.
You said it much better than I could.. Not to call out Denise, but when I read her post my first impression was that it highlighted the inherent differences between men and women.
Stereotypes exist because they have a basis in fact and reality. The problem arises when you discriminate against an individual because of general stereotypes. It does not mean the general stereotypes are not accurate.

Hey groupa, welcome to sailnet.
IIRC, there were two versions of the C34, one sometimes refered to as the 'bubble top' and the other with a much longer coach roof and they had different interiors. Which one are you looking at so if there is a member with that particular model, they'll be able to help?
Anyway, it may take a little while for right person to see your post. Does't happen ALL the time, but more often than not, you'll usually get some help. In the meantime, enjoy the humor. Although sometimes a little skewed, it's all usually good natured and I found it takes a little time to learn the dynamics of it all. I also find that 99.9% of the members here are most knowledgeable in a lot of different areas pertaining to all things sailing and will bend over backards to help a fellow sailor. I've had more than my share of coffee laidened nose spews with some of the humor and consider it 'value added'. Relax a little and enjoy the ride while waiting for your specifics...
Good luck with the prospective boat.

I gotta say, i was sad to hear of the parties being thrown over the death of Margaret Thatcher. The only thing I can say to that is may we all do enough amazing things in our lives that we rile some people up... and may we be so effective and memorable in our endeavors that those enemies are happy to see us leave. It's really a testament to her ability and her tenacity that still people are passionate about her. If she had been bland and beige no one would care.
I am testing Entre Naranjos today, and when I first put it on I was sooo unhappy. It was bitter and kind of sour. But now it's turning much creamier. So much so that I was wondering if I was smelling something else left over on my sweater.

It has warmed up here, too. Spring was dragging her feet, and now...bam! It's summer. That's what it's like here, one day you're chilled to the bone, the next day it's time to turn the AC on. I'm cleaning out the laundry room this morning, and then I think I will plant something in the weedy planter outside, maybe some colorful petunias - they can take the heat. Then I have to get ready for my tutoring job. I hope everyone has a beautiful day.

It's chillier than I'd like today, but we're getting some much-needed rain over the next few days. The snow is supposed to stay north of us, and I'm hoping that forecast doesn't change. I *really* want to put winter away.
I'm warming up in Chergui. I so love this fragrance, especially in the summer.
I could whine about the weather and the mind-drubbing sameness of indoor routines, but I really shouldn't, given my lot in life as compared to Twolf's friend Larry. It is so sad when fate turns on a dime and puts a person in hospice.
I'm asking a lot of sugar-sweet Lalique Flora Bella: Give me a kick in the attitude.

I'm in vintage Ivoire de Balmain today, and enjoying it so much I really must find a full sized bottle.

That's so sad about your friend, Twolf! It's very hard on the families...hard if the person dies, and sometimes harder if they survive in a much-diminished capacity.
When my daughter was very young, one of our near neighbors had a massive stroke. They fought hard to save him and he eventually reurned home, very impaired, both mentally and physically. His wife struggled to care for him for nearly 10 years at terrible cost to her own health before giving up and having him put into a nearby SNF. And then she visited him daily for several years until he died. She is in her 70s now and finally able to get out and do some enjoyable things, visit her grandchildren in other states etc.
ExtremeK, I think it was you who asked about whether we found a bed for Mom? After an afternoon of experimentation on various mattresses, I realized her discomfort was due to weight bearing on her right shoulder when lying on her right side (her preferred sleeping position) on a level mattress-- she was significantly more comfortable when lying on a bed that had an electrically adjusting frame with the head elevated. This reduced the pressure on her shoulder.
So we took her back home, located the large wedge of foam that Dad used to use, and tucked it under her current mattress so that the head is elevated about 20-25 degrees. The result is that for the past 2 nights she has slept very well. She felt so much better yesterday that she took herself for a long walk (indoors, within her residence) and when I called her just now, she was all set to repeat it today. All very positive!
Sleep is so restorative. I'm starting to feel like myself again today after days and days of sleeping late. This cold knocked me out. I had let myself get run down. No more late nights at the computer!
Oh, my SotD is Trébol.

Happy Birthday arwen_elf! I will wear one of your samples you gave me, in your honor tonight.

That storm turned into ice-cubes falling from the sky under the accompaniment of thunder and light show, there will be a few cracked windshields I think. We are back to January 84th.

Concentre d'Orange Verte. Again.
I send thee this sweet perfume a fragrance to the fragrant, as one would offer wine to the god of wine.
Thank you so much for the Birthday wishes. I had a lovely long weekend because I took Monday and today off, although I had to go to a class tonight.
Today I wore Dries Van Notten from a sample a lovely perfume friend sent. Its nice but I have to test it some more.
I love my perfume friends and Basenotes!!!
Thank you Mr. Hedonist. Is that the Norma Kamali incense? You must smell divine!
