Olympic gold medallist James DeGale today teamed up with other celebrities in an initiative against knife crime. "No to Knives" - which also has the backing of Prime Minister Gordon Brown - is aims to reduce knife crime across the UK. Today DeGale, who the Olympic middleweight champion, was on hand at Coin St Community Centre in south east London to help launch the campaign, with a number of other celebrities, including John Terry, Ashley Cole, Denise Lewis, Brooke Kinsella, Austin Healey and MC Bashy..
Its steering committed includes Asda UK, Bebo, BRIT Trust, Rio Ferdinand, The Football Foundation, Simon Fuller, Brooke Kinsella, MOBO Awards, The Peace Alliance, Premier League, Damilola Taylor Trust, Ashley Tabor and Ashley Thomas.
"I've been asked to do all kinds of campaigns since I came back from the Olympics, but this is closest to my heart," said DeGale.
"It's fantastic to get involved, especially as I'm a from north west London where we have had a problem with knife crime in recent years.
"People carry a knife around because they think they need to protect themselves or because it makes them feel like a man, but the message we have to get over is a simple one: Leave them at home.
"If I can only stop one or two people carrying knives, then my involvement will have been a success."
DeGale, 22, also believes that boxing, as well as other community based schemes, can play a part in tackling what is a growing problem.
"In the end, it's all about respect, and if you're doing something constructive that makes you feel good then you will start respecting yourself, and other people.
"Boxing is my thing, my way of respecting myself and other people, but if people do it in a rugby club or a computer club or whatever kind of club, then it doesn't matter."
Brian Magee is looking to revive his career by making sure Irish eyes are smiling at the end of his British Super-Middleweight Title showdown against Stevie McGuire at the Brentwood Centre on Saturday, 13th December 2008.
The Belfast boxer has his third crack at becoming British champion after losing to newly crowned WBC world champion Carl Froch in 2006 and then being held to a controversial draw with Tony Oakey last year.
The draw with Oakey was for the British Light-Heavyweight Title but Magee has returned to his natural super-middleweight division and feels better for it.
The former IBO champion hopes to end the 15-fight unbeaten record of McGuire (Glenrothes, Scotland) on the Hennessy Sports show that is being shown live on ITV4 at 8.40pm.
Froch (Nottingham, England) beat Jean Pascal (Quebec, Canada) for the vacant WBC world title on Saturday and Magee is confident he will follow 'The Cobra' to world title level.
First Magee must beat McGuire and set up a possible shot at the European title next year.
"Its hard to argue against Carl Froch being the best super-middleweight in the world after Saturdays performance, so Ive taken confidence from the fact that I pushed him close to the wire when we fought," said Magee.
"Carl stopped me in the 11th round but two judges had me just one point behind at that stage and that was the first time I had been knocked out in my career.
"Carl is superb and won the world title last weekend and I believe I can win titles beyond domestic level.
"I should have got the decision in Germany when I fought Vitali Tsypko and hes waiting for a world title shot now.
"Im concentrating full on this fight but Im also looking ahead to where I want to go, which is where Carl Froch is.
"Ive had to come down a level to get fights and I even had an attempt at the light-heavyweight title, but I was never happy at that weight. I didnt feel myself in that fight, even though it was a controversial decision.
"McGuire is going to be ready for the fight of his life so Ive got to be on top of my game to get myself up there for bigger things which I believe Im capable of."
"I think Brian looked really good in his last fight; he looked in excellent condition and looked sharp. I was at ringside when he fought for the European title a couple years ago in Germany and I thought he clearly won the fight and he should have been crowned European Champion that night," said promoter Mick Hennessy.
"If he can win the British title this Saturday, then hes got a great chance of fighting for the European title next year."
Also on the bill, Darren Barker (Barnet, England) defends his Commonwealth Middleweight Title against Jason McKay (Banbridge, Northern Ireland).
The 1 Night, 2 Titles official weigh in will be held at the Baytree Shopping Centre, Brentwood, Essex, CM14 4BX on Friday 12th December at 1pm
Tickets are available from the Brentwood Centre Box Office on 01277 262616 or via the web www.brentwood-centre.co.uk
Frank Maloney relieved
DARREN SUTHERLAND'S promoter Frank Maloney was a relieved man when the Dubliner's first professional training camp ended last night
The Olympic bronze medallist makes his long awaited professional debut against Bulgarian Georgi Iliev at Dublin City University on Thursday December 18.
Maloney and trainer Brian Lawrence have been amazed at the way 'Dazzler' handled a procession of sparring partners at their London training base.
Maloney said: "Darren has worked his way through nine sparring partners inside the last month.
"I am not going to name any of them because they didn't moan and got on with the job.
"Most of them were on the floor and if they weren't going over they were on receiving end, but they were true professionals and never complained.
"I am just relieved it is all over because I have been on the phone non-stop getting lads in."
Maloney fears that he will now have to import sparring partners or take Darren around Britain to gain gym experience.
He added: "I have a good overseas network so it will not be a problem bringing sparring over, but I like the idea of Darren using gyms in Britain.
"I have been offered some facilities in Manchester by one of my associates where he says there will be good sparring and that is a possibility.
"We have to get the Iliev fight out of the way first. Then Darren can enjoy the holidays with his family before he knuckles down again.
"It has been a whirlwind few weeks for him and I dare say he can't wait to see his family and get some rest."
Iliev knocked out Castlebar's Keith Cresham on a previous visit to Ireland in a six-round super-middleweight bout.
Maloney quipped: "He could have knocked out King Kong for all I care. He won't be repeating that performance."
Rendall Munroe's European super-bantamweight title defence against Fabrizio Trotta tops the DCU bill which will be televised live in Britain and Ireland by Sky Sports.
Dublin prospect Paul Hyland (12-1) faces Eugene Heagney (7-1) in a local battle where the winner could be lined up to face European bantamweight champion Ian Napa.
Kiko Martinez (19-1), who knocked out Bernard Dunne in seconds, boxes a six rounder on the undercard.
London based Irishman Martin Power (19-3); the former British bantamweight champion faces a tough test against Gary Davies (7-2-1).
Manchester's Craig Watson (13-2) defends his Commonwealth welterweight title against Adnan Amar (22-1), a protégé of Dubliner Brendan Ingle.
A third title bout on the bill sees Jason Booth (30-5) risks his Commonwealth bantamweight crown against Sean Hughes (15-7-1).
Tickets for the big Dublin bill cost 100 Euros and 50 Euros and are available from www.frankmaloney.com, www.ticketmaster.ie. To order from Ireland by phone call 08 18 719300, and from UK 0871 226 1508.

Age, seeding are only numbers to Federer
More News from Associated Press
NEW YORK — The numbers are not the sort that Roger Federer likes to see beside his name.
One of them — his age, 32 — he cannot control.
The other — his ranking, No. 7 — he insists he can.
"People are going to say what they like," Federer said Saturday, two days before his first-round match at the U.S. Open. "Important is that I concentrate on my game and that the passion is there, that I work the right way, that I'm prepared, and that I feel like I can win a tournament."
The five-time U.S. Open champion is seeded seventh, the biggest number next to his name at a Grand Slam tournament since 2003, the year he started on his record-setting run of 17 majors.
In June, Federer exited Wimbledon in the second round, the earliest he'd been dismissed from a major tournament since the 2003 French Open. Starting with that loss, his season has included a steady diet of defeats that would have once been considered freakish and a withdrawal from a tournament that went unexplained.
All these factors point toward an obvious conclusion: Age is taking its toll on the most decorated men's player ever.
Not since Pete Sampras captured the trophy in 2002 has a man over 30 won the U.S. Open.
But Federer doesn't envision quite such a grim picture. A bad back that might help explain some of his summer doldrums is no longer bothering him. A new racket that confounded him over the summer has been shelved for the time being. His ranking, and corresponding seeding, may have dropped from third to seventh in the nine weeks between Wimbledon and the Open, where his first-round match is against 61st-ranked Grega Zemlja, but Federer considers himself fit enough to contend.
"Now I can really say I'm really just focused on the point for point, and that's why I'm not concerned," he said. "My back problem is not that major. I just need to make sure I don't have any bad moments in the future."
He would love to wipe away most of this 2013 season.
He has a grand total of one tournament title, won at a small event in Halle, Germany — a grass-court tune-up for Wimbledon.
In addition to his second-round Wimbledon loss to 116th-ranked Sergiy Stakhovsky, Federer has fallen to No. 114 Federico Delbonis and No. 55 Daniel Brands, the sort of players who used to feel beaten by Federer before they even walked on the court.
That air of invincibility is gone, and small cracks in a once-impenetrable facade have cropped up.
Federer withdrew in Montreal early this month without giving a reason, though he had been complaining about his back through the summer. He expanded on his health Saturday, saying the back was no problem as he heads into this, his 58th appearance at a major.
"At times, I was playing a lot, having it in the back of my mind, and that has definitely affected me sometimes with my movement … and actually not being able to really focus on the point for point mentality that you want to have out on the tennis court," Federer said. "So now, I can really say I'm really just focused on the point for point, and that's why I'm not concerned. "
Federer had been working with a new, slightly larger racket, but was unable to figure out the nuances of the prototype and decided to shelve the experiment until after the U.S. Open is over.
"I just said, 'You know, I'll go back to the racket I know and the racket I have won everything with,'" Federer said.
Novak Djokovic, the man occupying the No. 1 spot that Federer once owned, (He was seeded No. 1 at 18 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments from 2004-08) calls the ups and downs with the rankings simply a cycle of life.
"You can't always expect somebody to be at the highest level," Djokovic said. "It's normal to go up and down. That's why this sport is so very demanding, physically, mentally, emotionally. In any way you turn it around, the sport is actually asking from a tennis player everything, you know, all the commitment possible from every aspect."
Federer insists his commitment has never waned, even if his ranking has.
He says this takes him back to his younger days, in his early 20s, when he used to get excited at the prospect of what the new rankings would look like each Monday.
"Usually, I was more excited that it was going up," Federer said. "The older you get, the less you pay attention to it. But nevertheless, I clearly want to move up from here."

Armed with Cabinet approval, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee seem all set to introduce the new nutrient-based subsidy (NBS) policy for fertilizer pricing in the Union Budget to be presented on February 26. The move has generated controversy with the Left parties attacking it as anti-farmer and even parties within the United Progressive Alliance government such as the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam expressing reservations about the impact of the new policy on the farm gate price for fertilizers. If the sole purpose behind the NBS policy was to promote the balanced use of different nutrients like nitrogen, potash, phosphorous, and sulphur, there would be no reason for anyone to object. The excessive use of urea, for example, has pushed nitrogen in the soil to a high level in many parts of India, affecting crop production. That certain nutrients are used indiscriminately because of price despite their inappropriateness for particular crops, soil and local ecologies is a problem that needs to be addressed, in part, by the revival of agricultural extension services that were one of the first casualties of the reforms process two decades ago. But the proposed fertilizer subsidy scheme stems from another impulse: the desire to decontrol prices.
While assurances have been sought, and reportedly received, from the fertilizer industry that the price line would be maintained around the current level during the 2010 kharif season, there are sound reasons to worry about what will happen to fertilizer prices thereafter. The squeeze on India's farmers began way back in 1991 when Finance Minister Manmohan Singh first began to reduce the fertilizer subsidy. As input prices increased, farmers, especially those with marginal, small, and medium holdings, reduced their fertilizer consumption with detrimental effects upon yields. The price mismatch across different nutrients further complicated the picture. The NBS policy might make all fertilizers available at uniform rates, thus allowing the farmer to choose what is best for his land without worrying about opportunity cost. But if overall prices start rising, farmers are likely to cut back. That this is more than likely to happen is clear from the reaction of the industry. From the retention price system of the 1970s to the price system prevailing now, fertilizer companies have been clear that the only way they can realise their "full potential" is by full decontrol. Short of that, the industry was lobbying for a nutrient-based fixed subsidy alongside the freedom to set the maximum retail prices (MRPs). The UPA's new policy is in line with this wish.

Editor's Note: Readers sometimes ask about past TLNT articles, so every Friday we republish a Classic TLNT post.
This is not a deep psychology dive on ego and power in business leadership, which is a huge topic.
But I want to share some practical observations about how good leaders build a powerful team by sharing power, and how others build themselves up (falsely) by imagining they can hoard power personally. I am a fan of the former.
What I have found is that the people who imagine that they have more power than they do can't distinguish between the fact that their role has power vs. that they are powerful personally. Read more…

Gumbo comes to us from Louisiana and is part of the states foodie heritage. Gumbo is made up from a rich stock and can have a variety of vegetable and meat ingredients but the "holy trinity" of vegetables (onions, celery, and bell pepper) is considered to be most authentic. Protein in the gumbo can be anything from shrimp, to sausage, to chicken. You'll even find alligator gumbo. The gumbo is thickened with one of three things: file powder (ground sassafras leaves), roux, or okra (a vegetable known for its thickening agent). Gumbo, like chili and barbecue sauce, has strong believers in "right" and "wrong" ways to make it. Our suggestion is to try some recipes and see what you like!

We get them here on Lake Erie & I've seen several at the same time. Last ones I saw was about a month ago (there were four of them sighted all total) & I decided, with the weather report & water conditions being what they were, to not go out sailing.
Best advice I can give you is to start learning to watch clouds. They tend to come from specific types of clouds & after a while, you just learn that "that doesn't look right". That last time I saw them, I was heading south toward the marina, kept watching that cloud formation & said that it looked like waterspout clouds. Maybe 20 minutes later, there they were.
I want to be so famous that drag queens will dress up like me in parades after I'm dead.

Before you go "oh crap", is Hap about to tell it's junk, no not harldy, it doesn have it's shortcomings, no aftermaket head that I've ever seen, cast iron or aluminum has as nice of casting as a stock MG cylinder head, and these heads are no different, this one I working with now, it had to be pocket ported to just get it back to the bowl ID of a stock head, and they tend to be a little more lumpy and bumpy in the ports in general than a stock MG head. No what I'm about to tell you about could cause a little stress, a few curse words and a little bit of work if it happen to you, like it did me. On the back left side of all MGB cylinder heads is a brass plug, this plug closes up a hole that was drilled in the head during manufactuering that intersects another drilling that take oil passage from the the block up to your rear rocker arm pedestal for oiling the rocker arm assembly, valve spring and such, the only oil the cylinder head gets bascily. Ok, as mentioned in stock MGB head they use a brass plug, to plug this hole. On the County heads it turns out they threaded the hole and use a set screw, of course it well covered up wth excess paint and such and nothing you would ever expect to be a problem later, but something you may want to pay closer attention to this, as I found out.
I rebuilt a MGB engine for Harry Watkins that post here, and it was installed by Bob White that post here, so I knew in was in good hands with Bob doing the installation. Well Bob called me and told me the engine was leaking form the rear and we all just assumed it was the rear seal, even though the uprated viton seal was used, I didn't use a speedi sleeve, because the rear crank hub looked perfect. Anyway I decided to go up to the Charlotte, NC area and trailer the car back here, and address this at my buddy's shop where we could get it up on the lift, I had already planned on it being the rear seal, had a new seal and speedy sleeve on hand. Well with the car up on the, lift, it was for sure a leaking at the rear, the bottom of the rear scetion of the engine was wet with fresh motor oil, so we started investigating, the first clue that this was not rear seal leak was the inspection hole on the rear engine plate, I could stick my finger in there and it was dry as a bone. At this point we started looking upward on the block and sure enough I could see a trial of oil dribbling down the block from upward, now the two plugs on that side of the block and lifter covers were dry as a bone, so that was not it, it was coming from further upward. A little more looking with the car back on the ground showed a puddle of oil collecting at the rear of the cylinder head where the block and the head join each other. We wiped the area dry, and cranked the engine, and sure enough about 2 seconds we got a squirt of oil from the back side of the cylinder head, at this point we knew the cylinder head had to come off to investigate this further. Once the cylinder head was off, that's when we discovered the the new replacment cylinder heads had the set screw, not a brass plug, and that's where the leak was coming from, it was loose and and had no sort of sealer on the threads when removed, Ok we now had the smoking gun. I clean and de-greased the area, and used expoxy to seal tghe threads of the plug and reinstalled it, and put everyhtintg back togehter, let it sat a few days day, recrank the engine and had no more oil leak.
In closing this is somehwere you would never expect a oil leak from, but these cars never cease to educate us, and this is where actually installing and working with these parts far excells the education over just selling theses parts. I will be calling the wholesale vendor that sells us these heads today to make they are aware of this, because without feedback like this, the vendor would never know of a possible issue. it obviously doesn't not happen on every County cast iron replacment cylinder head, but we know one thing for sure now, it can happen and the set screw needs to be checked and made sure it is sealed and tight.
I probably worked with a couple of dozen of these cylinder heads over 6-7 year period and this is the first I've seen of this, but something that is so easy to check with the head on the bench and not so easy to fix with the head on the car, you could fix this on the car, knowing what I know now, but we didn't know what we were dealing with, so we removed the cylinder head. Bottom line, check this before installation and your life will/could be a bit easier.

The National Futures Association (NFA) has issued a notice temporarily exempting certain proprietary trading firms that may be required to be registered as commodity pool operators (CPOs) as of December 31, 2012, from the assessment fees that CPOs are otherwise required to pay. NFA Bylaw 1301 generally exempts exchange members from paying assessment fees with respect to transactions effected on that exchange. However, the exemption does not apply to exchange members that are commodity pools operated by CPOs. Because the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has rescinded exemptions from CPO registration effective December 31, 2012, the CFTC could view certain proprietary trading firms as commodity pools subject to CPO registration. NFA's Board of Directors will consider the application of the NFA assessment fee to such firms. Until the Board of Directors resolves the issue, any proprietary trading firm that becomes registered as a CPO will remain exempt from the assessment fee if its trading account was exempt from the NFA assessment fee as of December 31, 2012, until further notice from NFA.

Well I guess it's possible that no matter what you do in your film or book, you may well insult someone, somewhere!
You've probably got people who refused to watch DS9 because it showed another religion, people who turned away from Doctor Who and Torchwood because of Captain Jack Harkness, households that banned Xena because of the subtext. There's a reason that many gay movie and TV stars used to take great efforts to hide their sexuality from the public.
Back to the Private Ryan example there was a furor in the UK when two characters criticized Montgomery. Well, guess what? American soldiers DID criticize Montgomery! Well, should a writer avoid characters using dialogue that people may disagree with, but is right for the characters?
I may see a movie and think "cool" whereas someone else may want all copies gathered together and publicly burned!

City of Smithville Required to Pay Water Storage Fee
The City of Smithville and other utilities that get their water supply from Center Hill Lake are responsible for paying a portion of the repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of Center Hill Dam, under a water storage agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The city's portion, at $83,164, is figured at 0.032 percent, a cost that is based on the amount of storage area allocated for the city's water supply. The city was given the option to pay the bill in a lump sum at the end of construction or to pay based on a cost schedule through the year 2013. The cost to the city is based upon a total repair cost of $263,000,000
Center Hill Lake supplies all the water for the City of Smithville, and the city also sells to the DeKalb Utility District. The City of Cookeville, which also gets it's water supply from Center Hill Lake, sells to Baxter, Algood and Double Springs, among others meaning those utilities will also incur some of the cost as well. Cookeville's share is $1.4 million. Riverwatch, which uses a small amount of water from Center Hill Lake for the watering of its golf course, will pay $27,400. Riverwatch's share of the cost was tallied at 0.01 percent.
Smithville Secretary-Treasurer Hunter Hendrixson says the city will likely pay the bill in a lump sum by 2013.

Adoption of the recommendations in this report will be effective only if there is agreement among senior policy makers on the principal points underlying them. These points include the nature of public economic policy and the desirability of informed rather than uninformed policy. In the production of information, research, and analysis to inform public economic policy, they include the principle of competition and the necessary attributes of quality, relevance, timeliness, and credibility.
The history of ERS amply demonstrates the vulnerability of an agency that informs policy decisions with credible and relevant information yet is not itself a political decision maker. Yet the same history indicates that this role is essential to success in informing policy decisions. The concept of such an agency is too fragile to sustain disparate expectations by the executive and legislative branches. It requires cooperation and agreement between the secretary and the relevant congressional leadership on a common set of expectations and rules for shared access to ERS services and the role and expected behavior of ERS in dealing with both branches of government. Only in such an environment will informed public economic policy survive.

Air Optix Aqua Reviews
Great lenses
I tried many different contacts until I found Air Optix Aqua. I love them, they made things easy for me. I wear them on the boat, at work, on the bike etc.! so comfortable I forget I'm wearing them!
Awesome value on these lenses
My Air Optix Aqua lenses are cost effective and comfortable! What more can you ask?
very nice fit and comfort
These are great, I just changed from Ciba which I have worn for at least 15 years and was scared of changing, but I had nothing to fear, these Air Optix Aqua Contact lenses felt great.
The Best
I have a very bad experience with contacts due to my chronic dry eyes and living in the desert don't really help. My contacts always pop out of my eyes either while on the movie theater, driving, or just outside enjoying the nature. I jump from one brand to another looking for the one. Just when I was ready to give up on contacts a friend recommended air optix. I thought that it would just be one of those but I couldn't be more wrong. I was amazed on how comfy it is in my eyes that I couldn't even feel it. I am so happy with my air optix.
Superior contacts lenses and service
The most comfortable lense made is Air Optix. They fit the smoothest on the eye better than any other. They stay moist and are breathable. They are far superior to any other lens. Lens.com is THE BEST place to get them too. They are half the price and they have a great staff you can call if you need help. They have always been great. They even accepted a return with NO hassle and sent out my replacement before I even sent the return sent back to them...and asked for no money! THANK YOU Lens.com. I will tell everyone about you.
Simply Amazing and Wonderful
I got a trial pair of the Air Optix multifocals from my Dr., and I couldn't believe my eyes. I felt no pain, no dryness. I finally get the opportunity to wear contacts that agree with my eyes. I can see with no pain. The clarity is superb, the comfort is just amazing. I recommend these contacts to anyone that wants to wear contacts worry free.They are just wonderful. I love them, and I don't think I will ever go with any other brand. Great for Seniors.
My eye Dr. gave me a trial... wow. the best I have ever used. Comfortable...barely know I have them in. My month is up in 2 days. Was doing mono vision, but this is so much better.
There Great
out of all the contacts ive tried, the air optix aqua lenses are the best ive ever worn so far. I definatly recommend.
Finally, I found a pair of contacts that are comfortable. I have worn contacts for years, and I just accepted that fact that they were a bit uncomfortable. I went to a different eye dr. and he suggested I try the air optix aqua contacts, and I love them. You cannot feel them, and I finally have comfort.
Ciba Vision Air Optix Aqua Contacts
Received a trial pair and couldn't believe the difference compared to my old monthly. Stay cleaner longer and don't have that pesky morning dryness and lack of clear vision for awhile.
I can't feel them!
I used to wear purevision, so I had itchy, dry, eyes, and I was not able to ewar them for more than 5 hours. Now I got Air optix aqua contact lenses and it feels like there are no contacts in my eyes. They are great, and as always lens.com sells them with the best price.
These ciba air optix aqua contacts are the best, due to dry eyes these were my last lens to try before glasses 24 x 7. All I can say is they are wonderful no problems at all since trying these. Don't hesitate to try the ciba air optix aqua contacts.
Air Optics Aqua Contact Lenses
I have never been able to wear contacts. I always felt like there was sand in my eyes. After 2 years of searching for a contact lens that didn't hurt, I'm finally happy. The air optics aqua contacts are wonderful!!!
Can't even feel them
I also got the Ciba Vision Air Optix Aqua contacts as a trial pair from my Doc. I could not belive how they feel or should i say cant't feel :) they are great!!!

Overall User Rating: Lucky Leaf Spiced Apple Cobbler Filling - (6) #10 Cans / Case ( 5.0 stars from 5 reviews )
This apple cobbler filling is probably one of the best I have tasted. We were very surprised. I can only find it at webstaurant and will continue to use it. It tastes home made and has a incredible amount of sweet apples. It is perfect for pies, tarts or toppings.
Marie L. from M Librizzi Posted on 01/19/2015
I used this as a waffle bar topping but its so much more. The taste was great warmed or at room .temperature. The price is better than the big name stores. I would recommend this product.
Ivan H. from Innovative Catering Posted on 09/11/2014
I bought the Lucky Leaf Spiced Apple Cobbler Filling for my mother to use at her day care. She can quickly whip up a simple cobbler, and the kids love it!
Judith C. Posted on 11/10/2013
This product makes making "homemade" apple pie so much easier. No more tedious work of peeling and coring and dicing. I actually add a little more spices to make this as soon as the real thing.
Yvonne G. Posted on 11/07/2013
I love this Spiced Apple Cobbler filling. It's the perfect addition to apple bread and of course cobblers, pies and tarts. Also great over pancakes.

Billings, Mont.
(406) 247-7303
(406) 247-7610
Released On: May 20, 2005
The federal water resource management agency released updated water supply information to help recreationists prepare for the upcoming May 28-30 Memorial Day weekend. "Although we continue to experience record-low inflows to most of our reservoirs, favorable spring weather conditions have enabled us to meet most of our water needs," Jewell said.
In spite of low inflows and low water levels, boat ramps should be usable at most locations during the Memorial Day weekend, Jewell said. "We urge recreationists to check for the most up-to-date information on boat ramp status at Reclamation"s website http://www.usbr.gov/gp/boat", he added.
Current conditions at Bureau of Reclamation facilities:
Clark Canyon Reservoir - The Beaverhead watershed in southwestern Montana continues to be one of the most severely drought-impacted areas in the State. Monthly inflows to Clark Canyon have been below normal for 62 consecutive months and the cumulative inflow since April of this year is the second lowest on record since construction of the dam in 1965. Inflows to the reservoir are currently averaging 40 percent of what they would normally be at this time of year.
Clark Canyon Reservoir has not filled to the top of the conservation pool since 1998 and storage within the reservoir has steadily declined since then. On May 15, storage in Clark Canyon reached a content of 65,042 acre-feet this year at elevation 5519.53, about 13,300 acre-feet or 5.0 feet higher than last year at this time. An agreement between East Bench Irrigation District (EBID) and the Clark Canyon Water Supply Company (CCWSC) will assure EBID a limited amount of water in 2005 and may be increased as the irrigation season progresses and hydrologic conditions improve.
Lake recreation has been severely impacted in recent years due to the extremely low water levels in the reservoir. However, the boat ramp at Beaverhead Camp is currently open with a water level seven feet above the end of the ramp. Concrete plank extensions are also in place.
Canyon Ferry Reservoir - Similar to Clark Canyon, monthly inflows to Canyon Ferry have been below normal for 62 consecutive months. Cumulative inflow since April is the third lowest on record since construction of the dam in 1955. Current inflows to Canyon Ferry Reservoir are approximately 50 percent of normal for this time of year.
In response to near record low inflows, and to conserve storage in the reservoir, releases from Canyon Ferry to the Missouri River are being maintained between 2,800-3,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). With the mountain snowmelt underway and recent spring storms frequenting the watershed, inflows to Canyon Ferry are gradually increasing.
Canyon Ferry Reservoir is currently at elevation 3781.9 with storage content of 1,413,200 acre-feet, which is 92 percent of normal for this time of year and approximately two feet higher than this time last year.
While recreationists should be able to safely launch boats at most locations around Canyon Ferry during the Memorial Day weekend, boaters are encouraged to log onto Reclamation's website at http://www.usbr.gov/gp/boat/ for up-to-date information on specific boat ramp conditions.
Gibson Reservoir - Inflow to Gibson Reservoir is currently above normal for this time of year. The mountain snowmelt has begun and spring storms have frequented the area, resulting in increased inflows. During April, storage in Gibson Reservoir has risen to 94,600 acre-feet, which is three-quarter foot below full pool, or about the same level as a year ago at this time. To control the runoff into Gibson Reservoir, releases to the Sun River have been increased to 2,300 cfs. Releases may increase moderately depending on snowmelt runoff. Even with the Sun River watershed reservoirs at full capacity, water users may experience critical water shortages this year if climatic and hydrologic conditions do not improve.
Lake Elwell (Tiber Reservoir) - Inflow to Lake Elwell is currently about 46 percent of average for this time of year. Storage in Lake Elwell is 92 percent of normal and nearly 50,900 acre-feet, or 3.5 feet lower than this time last year. Releases to the Marias River are currently maintained at 500 cfs, the optimal level recommended by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks to support a healthy downstream river fishery. The Marias River Basin downstream of Tiber Dam is the only area in the State where minimum fishery flows are being maintained. No significant impacts to lake recreation activities or to downstream river fisheries are anticipated this year. If climatic and hydrologic conditions do not improve, it may be necessary to reduce releases to less than 500 cfs later this fall. While recreationists should be able to safely launch boats at most locations around Lake Elwell during the Memorial Day weekend, boaters are encouraged to log onto Reclamation's website at http://www.usbr.gov/gp/boat/ for up-to-date information on specific boat ramp conditions.
Milk River Project (Fresno & Nelson) - Fresno Reservoir is currently at elevation 2566.5 with a storage content of 58,900 acre-feet, which is 87 percent of normal for this time of year. This is 17,700 acre-feet or 6.6 feet higher than at this time last year. Due mainly to diversions from the St. Mary River Basin, runoff into Fresno Reservoir since April has been approximately 70 percent of normal.
Unless climatic conditions change considerably, Milk River water users can expect minor water shortages this year. Based on the latest water supply forecast, water users in the Milk River Basin will have irrigation allotments of about 1.5 acre-feet per acre to start the irrigation season. Storage in Fresno and Nelson Reservoirs is expected to drop to no lower than 20,000 acre-feet in each reservoir in order to protect the winter storage supply in the Milk River Basin. Moderate impacts to lake-based recreation are anticipated at both reservoirs.
While recreationists should be able to safely launch boats at most locations around Fresno and Nelson Reservoirs during the Memorial Day weekend, boaters are encouraged to log onto Reclamation's website at http://www.usbr.gov/gp/boat/ for up-to-date information on specific boat ramp conditions.
Bighorn Lake (Yellowtail Dam) - Mountain snowmelt and recent spring storms have significantly increased inflows to Bighorn Lake. For the past 67 consecutive months inflows to Bighorn Lake have been below normal. Even though cumulative inflow to Bighorn Lake since April has improved to 80 percent of normal, it continues to remain at the twelfth lowest level on record since dam construction in 1967.
In close coordination with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, releases from Bighorn Lake to the Bighorn River are being maintained at 1,500 cfs, a flow considered the desired minimum flow required to maintain a healthy fishery in the Bighorn River. According to MFWP reports, fishery population estimates have declined considerably during the prolonged and persistent drought. While overall population numbers have declined significantly, the quality of the remaining fishery appears to be excellent despite the low flows.
Because of recent rains and the snowmelt runoff, storage in Bighorn Lake has increased dramatically. Storage increased from a low of 657,900 acre-feet at elevation 3583.29 to a current level of 755,400 acre-feet. This is about 90 percent of normal for this time of year. Bighorn Lake is currently about 19.2 feet higher or 100,400 acre-feet higher than at this time last year.
The minimum lake level to safely launch boats at Bighorn Lake is elevation 3580. Based on recent outlooks, the level of Bighorn Lake should be adequate to safely launch boats during the spring and summer of 2005. Boaters are encouraged to log onto Reclamation's website at http://www.usbr.gov/gp/boat/ to check for up-to-date information prior to planning their weekend.

I find it eerily peaceful to watch a beautiful snowfall, even when I know that the end result will be that I trudge through the eventually dirty stuff, feet cold and wet, weighed down with layers and layers of clothing, or worse, that I slide around in a car on slick streets because I need to get where I need to be. This past snow has been reminiscent of the first huge snowfall last February, which I remember well because I had been home from Afghanistan for just a few days.
I remember being almost joyful as I listened to the weather report, thinking that I would have a "snow day" and would get to do what I missed most of all while I was away: spend a quiet evening with my husband in front of a fire in our fireplace, drinking a glass of wine and talking over the day. As it turned out, however, our two snow days were spent at the President Hotel in Kansas City, where Max attended the winter meeting of the Missouri Bar Board of Governors, and I reconnected with people I hadn't seen in a while.
Then, of course, later on that month, we did enjoy another snow day or two just as I had imagined we would — fire roaring, Max and I laughing and talking, and also watching my newest discovery, "Homeland." One of my friends in Kabul, who is originally from Chicago but now lives in Croatia, gave me the DVD and told me that "Homeland" is a most intriguing show — and the plot involves Iraq and Afghanistan. He was right about the intrigue. Max and I binge watched the whole first season, hooked on the twisty plot line and shady characters, while the snow came down and stayed long enough to keep us in the house for an entire 36 hours or so. What a great winter vacation!
And a year later, here we are again, in the midst of yet another great winter vacation, pantry and freezer full, firewood on the back porch, and a new television series to binge watch — "House of Cards." Things couldn't get much better — at least for 48 hours or so. My class at SFCC was canceled on Tuesday, and I couldn't imagine people getting out and driving on slick roads in frigid temperatures on Wednesday, and so I canceled court and choir practice.
As a result, I had the luxury of staying in and watching the snow from afar, sitting at my desk, looking out the window and watching energetic, resourceful kids walk up and down the street with shovels over their shoulders, hoping to hit the jackpot by clearing snow from people's sidewalks and driveways. I was happy to oblige them. From my vantage point in my home office, the world was good — the sidewalk was being cleared by someone else, I was snug as a bug, warm, and though not in someplace lovely such as Sanibel Island, on a winter vacation.
I know, however, that all good things — and winter vacations — must come to an end. Tomorrow, I will return to real life. I will teach my class, hoping that all my students — and I — will be able to make it to school safely, and I will do all the mundane things that our day-to-day lives require. Those mundane things, though, are the things I missed when I was away, and I have not yet gotten to the point where I take them for granted again. I still remember my lesson that real life here is pretty wonderful, but this week, I have also learned new lessons: winter vacations don't have to take place in warmer climates, and sometimes, real life and vacations are one and the same.

Bush urges resolve in war on terror
By Caren Bohan
WEST POINT, New York (Reuters) – President George W. Bush
urged resolve in the struggle against Islamic radicalism on
Saturday and likened the "war on terror" to the fight against
communism after World War Two.
Addressing graduates of the West Point military academy,
Bush described his goal of spreading freedom throughout the
Middle East, saying repression in those countries was creating
the conditions for global terrorism.
"We're still in the early stages of this struggle for
freedom and, like those first years of the Cold War, we've seen
setbacks and challenges and days that have tested America's
resolve yet we've also seen days of victory and hope," Bush
"The war began on my watch but it's going to end on your
watch," Bush told the cadets.
The speech marked a return for Bush to a lofty theme of
spreading global democracy and contrasted with his contrite
tone at a Thursday news conference in which he acknowledged
mistakes on Iraq.
But he also strove for solemnity on Memorial Day weekend, a
time when America honors its war dead.
"We have made clear that the war on terror is an
ideological struggle between tyranny and freedom," Bush said.
"Our strategy to protect America is based on a clear premise:
the security of our nation depends on the advance of liberty in
other nations.
"We learned an important lesson. Decades of excusing and
accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did
nothing to make us safe."
Bush mentioned Syria and Iran specifically in vowing to
pursue an end to repression in countries around the world.
"The message has spread from Damascus to Tehran that the
future belongs to freedom and we will not rest until the
promise of liberty reaches every people in every nation," Bush
Bush, who has seen his approval ratings slide to record
lows in large part because of the Iraq war, invoked the legacy
of another wartime president, Democrat Harry Truman.
He recalled the Korean War as part of a difficult period in
the Cold War and said America's perseverance then helped lead
to victory against communism decades later when the Soviet
Union fell.
"We are again engaged in a war unlike any our nation has
fought before and, like Americans in Truman's day, we are
laying the foundations for victory," Bush said.
Truman's popularity fell even lower than Bush's — which
hovers in the low 30 percent range with 2 1/2 years left in
office — yet he has been remembered favorably in history.
As is the tradition at graduation ceremonies, Bush offered
some advice to the cadets: "Take risks, try new things and
challenge the established way of doing things. Trust in your
convictions and stay true to yourselves and one day the world
will celebrate your achievements."

A device is disclosed for the disintegration of concretions in body cavities. The device comprises at least one piezoelectric transducer element, for connection to a generator. The transducer element is connected between a reflector and a horn. Ultrasonic waves generated by the transducer element are directed by means of a sonotrode, to a concretion to be destroyed. At least the horn is provided with surface depressions which do not run parallel to its axis of symemtry, for the generation of transverse and rotational oscillations.
1. A device for disintegrating concretions disposed in body cavities, the device comprising:
a reflector;
a horn having a longitudinal axis
an ultrasonic transducer element connected between the reflector and the horn; and
a sonotrode connected to the horn for directing ultrasonic waves generated by said transducer element to a concretion to be disintegrated;
wherein the horn is provided with surface depression means which extend transversely of the longitudinal axis for generating transverse and rotational oscillations in addition to longitudinal oscillations.
2. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sonotrode is provided at a distal end thereof with slits extending transversely of its axis of symmetry, the length of each slit being approximately λ/4, where λ is the wave length of the transverse oscillations generated by said surface depression means.
3. A device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the sonotrode comprises sheets of material and wherein said material is provided with indentations between said slits.
4. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sonotrode and the horn are made of material having substantially the same acoustic impedance.
5. A device as claimed in claim 4, wherein the horn and the sonotrode are made of titanium.
6. A device as claimed in claim 4, wherein the horn is made of duralumin and the sonotrode is made of titanium.
The invention relates to a device for disintegrating concretions disposed in body cavities. The device comprises a transducer element disposed between a reflector and a horn, from which ultrasonic waves generated by the transducer element are directed to a concretion to be disintegrated.
For the removal of a concretion from the interior of the body of a living creature, it may often be necessary first to break up the concretion, in order then to be able to remove it simply, for example by means of a suction device. Devices and methods based on the use of ultrasonic energy are often used for such disintegration. In this case disintegration of the concretion can be effected by means of instruments and equipment which operate with, or, without, contact with the concretion.
Those instruments which operate with contact with the concretion are usually equipped with a sonotrode in the form of a rod or tube, which is brought up to the concretion to be destroyed and is set in oscillation by an ultrasonic transducer. Because of the rod-like or tubular structure of the sonotrode, breaking up of a concretion is effected substantially by mechanical longitudinal oscillations transmitted thereto so that the concretion is merely pierced and the sonotrode must therefore, be applied at various sites on the concretion in order to achieve its complete destruction. The disintegration of the concretion is therefore prolonged, thereby increasing the stress on the patient.
DE-A-2219790 discloses a tubular ultrasonic oscillator equipped at its distal end with a loosely coupled rebound body provided with teeth intended to cause a hard concretion to burst by fracture. The time needed to cause the concretion to burst is, however, still too long because substantially only longitudinal oscillations are employed for disintegrating the concretion.
A device for the breaking down concretions in the ureter, by the application of a complex action by ultrasonic vibration and electrohydraulic shocks to the concretion is described in the DE-A-2733019. The sonotrode consists of a wire, the distal end of which is provided with teeth. The wire can also be provided at its distal end with longitudinal projections and grooves. For the transmission of ultrasonic vibration to the concretion, the distal end of the sonotrode is set in longitudinal and transverse oscillation by means of an ultrasonic transducer. The concretion is thus broken down under a regular milling action. The sonotrode is then exchanged for a probe, with which the concretion is further broken down according to the principle of electrohydraulic lithotripsy. The application of this device is extremely complicated and, therefore, time-consuming. Also, the use of electrohydraulic lithotripsy involves the risk that when the concretion bursts, the surrounding tissue is injured by the resulting fragments; diseases may consequentially develop.
A further device for the disintegration of urinary calculi is described in U.S. Pat No. 3,830,240. In this case also, it is proposed to disintegrate the concretion by means of a wire sonotrode. The sonotrode may be of different shape both at its connection piece to the transducer and also at its distal end, so that longitudinal and transverse oscillations can be produced at said distal end. By reason of the shape of the wire sonotrode at both its distal and its proximal regions, the sonotrode is very easily broken when in operation, with consequent injury to the surrounding tissue.
The present invention is intended to provide a device for disintegrating concretions with increased rapidity.
According to the present invention, in a device for the disintegration of concretions disposed in body cavities and comprising a transducer element arranged between a reflector and a horn, from which ultrasonic waves produced by the transducer element are directed to a concretion to be destroyed; the horn is provided with depressions on its surface, extending in a non-parallel manner with respect to its axis.
By virtue of said depressions which do not run parallel to the axis of symmetry of the horn, transverse and rotational oscillations are generated in addition to longitudinal oscillations, whereby the concretion to be disintegrated is very rapidly broken up.
This effect can be increased by providing the sonotrode with slits at its distal end, which do not run parallel to the axis of symmetry of the sonotrode and the length of which slits is approximately λ/4, where λ corresponds to the wave lengths of the transverse oscillations. Sheets of the sonotrode material defined between adjacent ones of said slits can be additionally provided with indentations.
If the horn and/or the reflector of the device are of asymmetrical shape, further transverse and rotational oscillations can be generated, which contribute to the rapid breaking up of the concretion. Such asymmetrical shape can be produced, for example, by milled out, areal recesses on one side of the device.
For conducting said transverse and rotational oscillations generated by virtue of the profiling of the horn and/or reflector, as well as said longitudinal oscillations, in an optimum manner to the tip of the sonotrode, the sonotrode and the horn preferably consist of materials having a substantially identical acoustic impedance. Titanium has proved to be particularly suitable as a material for the horn and the sonotrode. Similarly, the horn may be of duralumin and the sonotrode of titanium.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic side view of an embodiment of a disintegration device according to the invention, an associated ultrasonic generator therefor being shown block schematically; and
FIG. 2 is the enlarged side view of the distal end of a sonotrode of the device shown in FIG. 1.
The device for the disintegration of concretions disposed in body cavities, comprises at least one piezoelectric transducer 2 for connection to an ultrasonic generator 1, the transducer 2 being shown as consisting of two piezoceramic discs 10. The discs 10 are enclosed between a reflector 8 and a horn 9. Detachably connected to the horn 9 is a sonotrode 13, through which ultrasonic waves generated by the transducer 2 are directed to a concretion 11 which is to be disintegrated.
Since the ultrasonic generator 1 is of known type it will be described only briefly herein. For generating an electrical oscillation, the generator 1 essentially comprises a voltage-controlled oscillator 4, the output signal of which is passed to the transducer 2 by way of an output amplifier 5 and an output transformer 6. A phase comparator 7 compares the phases of the output voltage and of the output current of the output transformer 6 to produce a control voltage which is passed to the oscillator 4 in order to control it.
The electrical signal generated by the ultrasonic generator 1 is passed to the ultrasonic transducer 2 and is converted by the latter into mechanical oscillations. The sonotrode 13 is, in the present example, of tubular shape. The sonotrode 13 has a cavity which extends up to its proximal end, and is continued through the ultrasonic transducer 2 up to a suction connection 17. Suction out, of stone fragments, and if applicable, flushing fluid, can be carried out, by way of the said cavity.
In order to produce a high proportion of rotational and transverse oscillations, depressions 12 are milled in on the horn 9 of the ultrasonic transducer 2, so that they do not run parallel to the axis of symmetry of the horn 9. The same end is served by slits 14 formed in the distal end of the sonotrode 13 as shown in FIG. 2. The slits 14 are so arranged that they do not run parallel to the axis of symmetry of the sonotrode 13. The length of the slits 14 is approximately a quarter of the wave length of the generated transverse oscillations. The slits 14 are sufficiently narrow to ensure that an adequate suction effect is maintained through the sonotrode 3.
The sheet material 15 between adjacent slits 14 is provided with teeth or indentations 16, which augment the milling effect of the sonotrode tip.
For the additional generation of transverse and rotational oscillations, the horn 9 and/or the reflector 8 may be shaped asymmetrically, which can be achieved, for example, by milling out areal sections (not shown) on one side of the device.
Optimum transfer of energy between the ultrasonic transducer 2 and the sonotrode 3 towards the concretion 11 is achieved, in particular, if the sonotrode 3 and the horn 9 of the ultrasonic transducer 2, consist of the same material, or at least, of materials having substantially the same acoustic impedance. Thus the horn 9 may be made for example from duralumin or titanium, and the sonotrode 3 from titanium. By the use of titanium instead of the conventionally used fine steel as the material for the sonotrode 3, higher oscillation amplitudes can be achieved, thereby to reduce disintegration time of the concretion. The use of such material, also results in a considerable reduction in thermal losses.

For a topspin to "fool" me, it would have to bounce 6 or 7 ft in the air, which is the height at which the ball would be over my head when im receiving. I'm also in the air when I receive these kinda balls, probably 6 inches to 1 foot off the ground at contact which is drastically different from when I receive a 100+ mph serve where im planted firmly and "pushing" it back.
I think you're a delusional average to below average "4.0" if you think there are none of these serves at the 3.0 and 3.5 level, and that everyone chops sidespin on their serves being normal. There are 3.5's now, past, and present, who will be 4.5's some day. You'd be surprised how good some people are. I dont want to brag about myself, but if you think my skill level matches my current 3.0 (C) NTRP rating, you've got some issues.
There are good varsity high school singles players who play 3.5 and 4.0. Do you think none of those guys serve with topspin?
I'm not suggesting that there are people serving kicks that are bouncing head height at that level, but there are definitely people with topspin serves where the ball noticeably dips into the court. I also take these balls early... so even if one has potential to jump over my head I dont make a habit of returning serves over the height of my shoulder...

FORT COLLINS — While Fort Collins police prepared an arrest warrant for Tim Masters in the summer of 1998, a former FBI behavioral scientist urged the lead detective to remove all references to a psychological "profile" of Peggy Hettrick's murderer, according to recently disclosed notes of the lead investigator.
"R.H. believes all connection, ref to profile stuff be taken out," reads the handwritten notes of Detective Jim Broderick, referring to comments from Roy Hazelwood, who worked as a paid consultant for investigators.
Although mentions of the profile were not included in the arrest warrant for Masters, the prosecution's star trial witness, another psychologist, went on to cite an FBI profile as a basis for his theories implicating Masters. Those theories portrayed Masters as channeling a fantasy to kill Hettrick through his drawings and writings.
A lingering question raised by Masters' new appeals attorneys is whether an FBI profile ever existed, and if so, why it was never turned over to the original legal team.
Masters' new attorney, David Wymore, contended in Larimer County District Court on Monday that had Masters' original team seen Broderick's notes of Hazelwood's concerns, the entire psychological case against their client could have been thrown out before the 1999 trial — or at least questioned during trial.
Hazelwood's commentary was contained in a box of notes and reports kept by Broderick but only recently released by a Larimer County district judge.
Broderick's notes show that Hazelwood, a renowned former FBI profiler, objected to key components of the prosecution's working psychological theories about Masters, including that his drawings reflected a fantasy motive to kill Hettrick. He also disagreed that an oval shape sketched by Masters, characterized as a "vagina" by prosecutors, showed premeditation to kill Hettrick because it can't be proved it depicted her genitalia.
Generally, Hazelwood objected to linking Masters' drawings to the crime scene unless there were direct parallels. Hazelwood, who was a paid consultant for Fort Collins police, dropped out of the case before trial.
The latest revelation — that Hazelwood wanted references to a profile stricken — led Masters' original attorney, Erik Fischer, to again accuse Fort Collins prosecutors and police of lying and withholding evidence.
"This is extremely troubling," Fischer testified Monday.
Also Monday, Judge Joseph Weatherby declined a defense motion to prevent special prosecutors from calling witnesses to explore their awareness of the Broderick-Hazelwood material and other documents that were kept from the original defense attorneys. The judge emphasized that he needed to hear from the witnesses "if the court determines that a sanction should be imposed."
At times, Weatherby interrupted testimony to probe Fischer about another issue — the significance of Broderick's notes about shoeprints in the field where Hettrick's mutilated body was found in 1987.
Contrary to Broderick's testimony at trial, he wrote in his papers that one print near the Landings Boulevard curb where prosecutors said she was ambushed "looks like a Thom McAn shoe" not worn by Masters.
At trial, he said only one print, in a different area, resembled a Thom McAn, and the issue was never explored by the defense.
A former FBI forensic expert enlisted by Masters' new defense team has produced a report declaring that a dozen Thom McAn shoe prints follow the blood trail.

Crumpled Heat Shield
September 18, 2008
The Phoenix Mars Lander's Surface Stereo Imager took this image of the spacecraft's crumpled heat shield on Sept. 16, 2008, the 111th Martian day of the mission.
The 2-1/2 meter (about 8-1/2 feet) heat shield landed southeast of Phoenix, about halfway between the spacecraft and its backshell/parachute. The backshell/parachute touched ground 300 meters (1,000 ft) to the south of the lander.
The dark area to the right of the heat shield is the "bounce mark" it made on impact with the Red Planet. This image is the highest-resolution image that will likely be taken by the lander, and is part of the 1,500-image "Happily Ever After" panorama.

Chartreuse /SHär?tro?oz/ (noun): Symbolizing a pale green, yellow color.
I've added a new word to my vocabulary! Chartreuse describes the color of this gown perfectly! Not green, not yellow- just a little in between! This dress from BCBGeneration is probably one of the most comfortable dresses I own. I love it's elegant look and the magnificent draping! I happened to have the perfect belt to add to this look; it's a sequin & leather belt from Juicy Couture!
[Also, I am now a Teen Vogue Fashion Click Blogger! (Excited) Check out my first look on there! Don't forget to heart ? it!] HERE"
Ta-taa for now,
