I'm working on a new site using PageLines Pro, and it turns out the design handed off to me has a navbar color scheme that doesn't match any of the preset styles found in the options under "NavBar and Fixed NavBar Theme". I know I could just edit my custom theme plugin CSS file to change the appearance, but I thought it would be good to add our color scheme as an option in this menu. Where would a new navbar theme live in the system?
Thank you!

I just love the textures here! I took this photo the year I was an AFS exchange student to Colombia from the USA (1984-1985).
Lovely Shade Container! White double impatiens, yellow tuberous begonia, maidenhair fern, and ivy.
Whitish grouping against darker patio, fence, or green background would look great. Also consider pot color.
Great combo for shade container by Susannah22. Wish they told the plants that are in this pot, it's beautiful!!!!

sewcialite's Profile
Hello & Welcome to my page!
About me
I like to think of myself as a beginner sewer with a designer's heart. Ever since I can remember I have coveted couture, idolized fashion designers and lived and breathed trends.
I love to sketch designs but up until now I have had to outsource their construction.
Learning how to sew and being able to share and sell my designs is a life long dream. I look forward to sharing my sewing journey with you on Etsy.
For more information about me become a fan of Sewcialite by visiting Facebook or check out my blog about my adventures in sewing at http://sewcialite.blogspot.com
Thanks for stopping by!
**Stay tuned for more…

I direct music, advertising, and conceptual videos.
The style of my work is driven by my passion and experience in Art Direction. My work utilizes strong aesthetics and super stylized imagery to accompany simple and enjoyable stories.
I've been working in production companies in London and Paris servicing the advertising industry such as The Mill, Partizan, and Irene.
Apart from directing, I work freelance as Art Director for TV commercials. For example: The Sleeping Supporter for Citroen, Winner of 1 Bronze Lion at Cannes Lion 2014 in the FILM category. These jobs allow me to always keep strengthening my visual identity as a director.

- Release Date: Oct 12, 2012
- Summary: In 1950's Los Angeles, a detective hides in a hotel, hoping to escape an assassin hot on his tail. As the night progresses, he connects with the patrons of the hotel and slowly the reason behind his predicament becomes clear.

Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 7
Mixed: 5 out of 7
Negative: 1 out of 7
Whether or not you've steeped in film noir lore, Hotel Noir still plays like an enjoyable little thriller.
Oct 10, 2012Gutierrez bathes in moodiness while remaining unconcerned with anything so pedestrian as dramatic cohesion.
The film's weakest link is Rufus Sewell's rumpled gumshoe, inarticulate and mumbling to the point of madness.
You never lose the nagging sense that you're simply watching a high-school drama club's production of '40s fatalism chic.
Not quite able to make up its mind whether it's a parody or homage, this tired exercise wastes both its gorgeous visuals and a first-rate cast.
Oct 12, 2012To succeed as more than a study in artifice, a film - especially one steeped in fatalism - needs to feel real.
It's hard to know whether Sebastian Gutierrez is imitating or satirizing the hard-boiled noirs of Hollywood's past, but either way it feels like a botched attempt.

Good location on the Island and roomy sites. Bathrooms in need of complete renovation, and I mean complete!! No cable connection or dogs allowed. All in all, not bad, but bathrooms are a real letdown. - soleracamper
May 2015 - $55.00
Sites and roads are crushed shells. When it rains (and it rains a lot in Florida) it is a mess. Good luck keeping the inside of your RV clean. Lots of bugs including the "no seeums" so spray yourself every time you are outside. Not close to any beach. WiFi does not work. There are very good parks on the Fort Myers side of the bridge which is close to Fort Myers beaches. Suggest you stay in Fort Myers and pay the toll to go over to Sanibel. Traffic is horrible. There are concrete pads but instead of digging out the area underneath they put them above ground level and the steps on my RV would not go out. Had to have my entrance in the shells and track all the dirt in. - kegmaster
Nov 2014 - $55.00
Park is very nice and quiet. Our site was clean, concrete pad, and plenty large enough for us. We were traveling with another RV and there was a picnic table between us with ample space between. The roads are hard packed crushed shell and very smooth. The beach is a short 1/2 mile bike ride and there were lots of restaurants within a 5 minute bike ride. We only stayed 2 nights but we will be back. - cropduster

Emma Catherine
Learn about sponsoring this memorial...
May 30, 1862
May 3, 1943
Emma is shown on the 1870 Federal Census as residing with her parents in Seville Village, Guilford Township, Medina County, Ohio. She is listed as age 7, born in Ohio. and was attending school. Emma was twice married -- first to Orlin A. Dawson (1861-1917). Emma and "Orland" were united in marriage by JP Chauncey Spear, as recorded in Medina County Marriages: Volume E p141. She married second William B. Becker (1877-19-37). William was but once married, entering into matrimony at the age of forty in Wayne County on 27 May 1918 with the widow, Emma Catherine (Halliwell) Dawson.
William B. Becker, born in Cleveland, and a baker by trade, was the son of German natives Edmund and Catherine (Engle) Becker. In 1900 he and his parents resided on Dunham Avenue in Cleveland's eighth district. Edmund was a Blacksmith's helper. His wife, Catherine of 33 years, was the mother of eight, four children living. William was a baker and his sister Rose was a dress maker.
Emma was known as a forceful woman. During the construction of her home in Seville, she visited the site daily. It has been said that if the carpenters used a piece of lumber that was unsuitable to her, she would ask them to replace it. This home remains standing today (2008) and is located on the southwest corner of High and Main Streets, across from the Methodist Church. By 1930, Emma and William, resided on South Main Street in Rittman Ohio where he owned and operated a bakery.
Her death was recorded at the Ohio Bureau of Vital Statistics as Emma Becker, aged 79 years 11 months 3 days, a white, widowed female died 3 May 1943 at Rev. Dyes Convalescent Hospital, Norton Twp., Summit County, Ohio. Cause of Death: Myocarditis. Contributing Cause: Senility. She was buried 5 May 1943 in Seville, Ohio. Emma was a Rittman Ohio housewife, and wife of William Becker. She was born 30 May 1863 in Seville, Ohio to Levi Halliwell, born in Seville, Ohio, and Mary Spice, born in Wooster, Ohio. Embalmer/Funeral Home: Armstrong, Seville, Ohio. Informant: (sister) Mrs. Allen Swagler of Barberton, Ohio.
The Dawson family plot in Mound Hill Cemetery consists of four lots, which are located in Section 1S, Lot 608. The plot includes: Orlin A. Dawson 1861-1917; Emma Catharine (Halliwell) Dawson 1862-1943, (Franklin) Clyde 1881-1891; Kittie Dawson 1883-1894; and Pearl Dawson 1887-1888. Orlin's parents are interred in the adjoining lot 609.

Watching Aussie Dollar as a Leader
- Posted by JC Parets
- on December 21st, 2012
With equity markets around the world vulnerable for a correction, the Australian Dollar is probably a good place to start looking for leadership. Over the last couple of years, breakdowns in the Aussie have led to weakness in the S&P500. Today we're looking at a chart of the $AUDUSD breaking support from an uptrend line of closing prices from the June lows (Click Chart to Embiggen)
Chris Kimble of Kimble Charting Solutions does a nice job here of showing how the Aussie Dollar has been a solid leading indicator for US Equities. Although it appears to be breaking down, Kimble says, "One day does not make a trend, so keep a close eye on where the AU$ heads from here, because it could help you with portfolio construction in a big way!"

Apps: ABC for Little Space Explorer, Hangouts 1.3, Riptide GP2 1.1 + Travelocity 1.3.3
ABC for Little Space Explorer ($2) from Common Extract is a new alphabet and science learning app for young children: A is for astronaut, B is for black hole, C is for crater, and so forth. Conceptually, the app is a bit odd — alphabet lessons are typically for kids aged 2-5, and the science content here is more for kids 6 and up—but parents who want their kids to learn about space might find it to be worth a peek. As tested, we didn't always find the app's interactive activities to be intuitive; in some cases, you'll see 3-D cosmic maps or satellites that can be zoomed in on, while in others, the screen will flip to telescope and other views that don't completely make sense. Even the alphabet selection screen is spread over two pages, which may confuse some kids. Our feeling is that Common Extract will benefit from polishing the app up a bunch, but the raw materials here are compelling.
Google's standalone Hangouts has updated to version 1.3.0 with a major new feature — users can now make and receive telephone calls to land lines from an iOS device. The free app also now lets users send and receive animated GIFs, and it's now possible to see which friends are using Hangouts, and who's currently available.
Vector Unit's impressive wave racer game Riptide GP2 ($3) has updated to version 1.1. A new VR Challenge mode lets players race their friends, and the Scorpion hydro jet has been added to the game. New touch screen interfaces with manual acceleration have been added, and gamers can now race as a female rider, as well. Though it's not mentioned in the update notes, the game has also fixed its frame rate issues when running on the iPhone 5s.
Travelocity's free Travelocity for iPad app now lets users search for flights and hotels in tandem in version 1.3.3. Other than convenience, users can also benefit from increased savings when booking both flights and hotels together. There are more than a few worthwhile travel booking apps out there, and Travelocity is on the list.

1. Play Together. When your daughter is young, start to play catch, shoot hoops, jump rope, or toss a Frisbee. Learn to snowboard, ride a bike together, or field goal kicks. Make fitness activities part of your father-daughter bonding. The most active girls have dads who are active with them!
2. Listen & Encourage: Focus on what your daughter thinks, believes, feels, dreams and does. Applaud her positive mental and physical sporting qualities. Help her develop her strengths. When you value your daughter for her true self, you give her the confidence to achieve her goals.
3. Educate Yourself: Learn about gender equity in sports. Applaud local programs if the girls are being treated fairly, educate yourself and advocate on the girls behalf if they are not.
4. Give the Gift of Sport. For birthdays and give your daughter new inline skates, a skimboard, a basketball, private coaching lessons, or her favorite female athlete's jersey.
5. Take Her Out to a Ball Game: Take your daughter to professional and collegiate women's sporting events. Support the athletes in the NCAA, WNBA, WTA, WPSL, etc. The girl power showcased might inspire her to set new goals.
6. Eat Well: Support healthy eating habits. Help your daughter build strong muscles and bones by providing her with a well-balanced diet. And lead by example – eat healthy meals and snacks yourself.
7. Watch TV Together: Make an effort to watch women's sports on television together. Expose your daughter to new events and heroines while teaching yourself that there's more to TV than Monday Night Football.
8. Get Involved. Volunteer to drive, coach, referee, or be a team parent. Show up at games. Bring snacks, organize team parties, and support your daughter's athletic efforts whenever possible.
9. Support Positive Messages for Girls: Watch programs that portray smart savvy girls. Subscribe to healthy girl-edited magazines and visit online girl-run "'zines" and websites. Help make the word a better place by discouraging messages that exploit or degrade girls and women.
10. Show Your Support: Encourage your daughter's endeavors. Respect her choices. When watching her games, be a cheerleader, not a coach. And check www.prettytough.com often for more tips and ways to engage your daughter in sports.

One thing we worry about in our daily lives is how to be environmentally friendly.
Of course, you can recycle and be green around the home, but when it comes to looking good it may at first seem like you will have to stick to a lot of polluting companies to look fashionable, there are a lot of green options.
A good place to start out is to find a fashion label or company that is totally green. There are a number of brands that fit the bill and each one has a unique approach to style and remaining green.

To start off there's 'Freedom of Animals', a company that creates items like jackets, purses, shoes and trousers all from faux leather. All of their items look exactly like ordinary leather goods only no items were harmed in making them, they require 70% less energy and hazardous chemicals to create.
For example, standard leather companies use a chemical treatment system that can lead to hazardous toxins leaking into the surrounding soil and damaging local plant life and crops.

Keeping with the topic of leather, check out Tiania Inglis. Based in Brooklyn this designer has a range of leather items that have gone through a vegetable based tanning procedure. Not only does this protect the environment from deadly toxins that are used in the normal tanning process, it's also quicker.
Inglis also uses what's called 'dead stock', essentially leftover items like cloth, fabric and wool from other industries to create her clothes, which reduces the amount of fashion industry waste.

If you want to help give to a worthy cause, check out EDUN. This company was created by Bono (U2) and his wife Ali Hewson way back in 2005 and uses organically grown cotton from small African communities. Not only does this support struggling villages, it also reduces the need to strip out vast areas of forest and natural habitats for African wildlife for industrial cotton farms.

Anyone that likes recycling old items will find Blue Q is a perfect choice as they use 95% recycled items in their products. What this involves is dresses made from old wheat grain sacks that have been given a slight makeover, print shirts made from rags and other cool items. Plus, 1% of gross sales product goes towards a programme that conserves natural habitats from damage.

Finally, Feral Childe, based in New York donates all their waste fabric to fashion schools or recycling facilities, unlike other companies who normally dump it. Also, they provide customers will completely transparent information on where they sourced their stock from and what their manufacturing processes were.

When it comes to staying green and looking good, there are a number of different options. So pick a few of these brands to make sure that when you try to look good, you always stay green.
National Bike Month is not really a Hallmark event. And for those of us that are cyclists, that's too bad. If oil prices continue to climb, however, every month might become Bike Month.
Despite what temperatures may indicate (we're having a heat wave in Los Angeles and it snowed last week in the midwest), spring really is on its way! With the start of National Bike Month we thought we'd bring you some new cycling accessories to get you and your family ready for two-wheel transportation:
National Bike Month Notes:
Whether you bike to work or school; ride to save money or time; pump those pedals to preserve your health or the environment; or simply to explore your community, National Bike Month is an opportunity to celebrate the unique power of the bicycle and the many reasons we ride.
Cool Bike Accessories and Other Cycling Stuff
With all the attention on healthy lifestyles and the importance of exercise–Bike Month might be just what we all need to get in shape and save gas money at the same time.
One cool take on promoting cycling is the Bike Valet in Santa Monica offering free valet-style parking of bicycles at the Sunday Main Street Farmer's Market, Pier Twilight Dance Series and other public events throughout the City. Residents and visitors ride their bicycles to events, give their bicycle to a bike valet attendant and receive a claim check for their bicycle. The bicycles are then parked in the valet area and monitored by attendants. When a customer is ready to claim their bicycle, the bike valet takes the claim check and retrieves the bicycle.
Also in uber-hip Santa Monica is Bike Main Street every Friday night. Visit Main Street merchants on your bicycle and park it for free with the Bike Valet from 5:00 p.m. to Midnight (bike Valet located on the east side of Main Street between Ashland and Pier Avenue). Gotta love LA.
Ride on.

Symbol: Bull
Element: Earth
You like…
Yummy food, brand-name clothes, luxurious massages, nature and the outdoors, You also like being tickled. saving money, having nice things, sleeping in, getting your nails done and throwing fun parties .
You dislike…
Scratchy jeans, pushy people, ear-splitting music, being rushed, changing your routine, being interrupted, sweating, and doing homework.
Strengths . . .
You are practical, dependable and your calm personality always puts everyone at ease. You are also loyal to your friends and will always stick by them – even in the worst of times. You can create something beautiful out of nothing and you have a steady, dogged persistence (sometimes viewed as stubbornness ) that helps you achieve your goals.
You get easily embarrassed! Sometimes you take too long to make a decision and you miss an opportunity or come across as slow-moving. You love nice things, but don't always want to work hard to get them! It's the Bull that is the Taurean's mascot, and you can be bull-headed and stubborn.
You pay attention to details and are very thorough in your projects. Since you like money, nature and beauty, choose from banking, art, fashion, accounting, music or gardening or any profession that requires patience and determination.
Fashion . . .
You're more concerned with comfort than looking like a supermodel. You enjoy shopping for clothes, but don't like spending too much on them. You love pretty dresses and although you like to look good, you don't like your clothes to attract too much attention. You like well-cut, not-too-tight clothes best in soft, natural fabrics.
A loyal girl, your close friends can always count on you when the going gets tough. Stubborn beyond belief, you find it difficult to say sorry, but you'll make an effort to patch things up. And you never forget birthdays.
Since Bulls are generally strong, it's no surprise you like to test your strength on the playing field. You might like a game of hoops but hiking is a favorite pastime, since you love nature. You're slow and steady and while others may race feverishly around you, you're content to keep to your game and stay the course. When playing a team sport, you're probably better in a defensive position (as long as you don't have to move too fast). You may want to try yoga to help increase your flexibility or take up a more sedentary sport like golf.
Celebrity Taureans:
Singer Kelly Clarkson (4/24/82) Actor Renee Zellweger (4/25/69), Tennis player Dinara Safina (4/27/86) Actor Uma Thurman (4/29/70), Actor Kirsten Dunst (4/30/82), Soccer player David Beckham (5/2/76), Soccer player Cindy Parlow (5/8/78), Basketball player Nykesha Sales (5/10/76), Gymnast Olga Korbut (5/16/55), Runner Joan Benoit Samuelson (5/16/57), Singer Janet Jackson (5/16/66),
A friend gave me the P90X3 to try, and asked me to give my impressions after the first 30 days. For a little background, I'm a 45-year-old mother of four who keeps reasonably active, but still looks a tad overfed.
The P90X3 was created by legendary fitness trainer and "personality" Tony Horton. Tony created the original and very popular P90X and P90X2 workout programs that he claims can transform an average body into a "Beach Body" in 90 days.
The P90X3 basic set comes with a set of nine DVDs, a glossy book, and a calendar. It's a 90-day program of 30-minute workouts. There are 18 different workouts, and the program has you working out 6 or 7 days per week. There are four different workout schedules to choose from: Classic, Double, Mass, and Lean. I chose Lean.
All the workouts are led by Tony, with a supporting cast of smiling, sweaty disciples. For those of you not familiar with this elite trainer, he's a mildly handsome guy (think Phil from Modern Family, but ripped) who has come a long way from peddling the Thighmaster with Suzanne Somers in the 90s, and good for him. But Tony is an incurable dork. Sorry to be the one to tell you, Tony, but your dorkiness is terminal.
Tony, clearly, spent a lot of time in high school upside-down in a garbage can, but now he's on top of the world. His (now fat and bald) high-school enemies are no doubt wishing they'd treated him better, because 56-year-old Tony is ripped, rich, and a kind of famous.
The P90X3 program would be perfect for teens looking for a quick workout to squeeze between homework and the hours spent staring at their iPhone. With a strong emphasis on cardio, agility and flexibility, the "Classic," "Double," and "Lean" workouts would be suitable for a young adult wanting to improve their fitness level. However, teens should probably check with their pediatrician before starting the "Mass" workout schedule, since it involves lifting weights.
The workouts themselves are good. It's hard to argue that you can't find 30 minutes a day to work out. And it's a program that you could easily travel with. For the Lean program, all you need a yoga mat, small towel, DVD player, water bottle, and maybe a roll of masking tape (don't worry — nothing kinky going on there). Some of the workouts in the other schedules, however, require weights, pull-up bar or stretch bands.
The workouts cover cardio, agility, muscle strength, flexibility, core strength, and balance. You spend a whole lot of time in the "plank" position. There's also a lot of lunging, squatting, hopping, and jumping. The workouts are highly varied, so it doesn't get boring, and they incorporate some exercises you probably haven't done before. This suits me as I get bored easily. Overall, the P90X3 workouts are creative, intense, challenging, and above all — just 30 minutes. What's not to love? Well…
Tony Horton likes to talk. REALLY likes to talk. Initially his enthusiastic banter is mildly amusing and serves as a distraction from any physical pain you may be in. But, by the third workout, I was ready to put my head through the TV monitor. His dorky jokes, his stream-of-consciousness babbling, and his cringeworthy attempts at teasing his poor workout partners are annoying and sometimes inappropriate. I really feel for his on-screen buddies, and hope that they were generously remunerated. The workouts have a "Music Off" option, which I guess nixes the music. How about "Tony Off" option?
I've been doing the workouts for 30 days. Yes, I've lost a couple of pounds and an inch or two, and I do feel stronger. I think if I add three sets of Stop Eating So Much Crap, my weight loss will accelerate. But I'm happy enough with the results and motivated to continue so I'll provide an update when the 90 days are up.
P.S. A couple of my discs were slightly defective (skipping, pixelating). I read online that quite a few people had this problem. I also read that the company will replace the damaged discs, but only if you bought them directly through the company's website (beachbody.com), not through other retailers (eg. Amazon). Something to consider.

Avril Lavigne, who recently revealed she's battling Lyme disease, is determined to send a strong, inspirational message to her many fans around the globe.
The Canadian singer debuted her latest track, "Fly," during a guest appearance on Good Morning America and announced that all of the net proceeds will go to the Special Olympics.
"I wanted the athletes to be the stars of the video and, just like the message of the song, to show the world that they can overcome the challenges and that everyone is meant to shine," she shared.
Referring to Lyme disease, the 30-year-old said, "I believe that I will come out of this healthier and stronger than I was before…I've gained a lot of perspective on my life."
While the singer was bedridden for five months, her home became the perfect environment to create, and focus on, new music. "Fly" is about inner strength and courage.
"This song took on a whole new meaning for me while I was sick, which was pretty magical."
The acoustic-driven ballad combines clips of the star singing the emotional track with athletes both in training and competition – and it's incredibly moving.
Avril belts out: "We were all meant to fly, spread your wings across the universe. It's your time to, it's your time to shine.
"There's a light inside of all of us, soon you'll find that it's your time to fly, your time to fly."
Love her. Love the song.

Notes on Host Cities:
With six host cities spanning Western to Eastern Canada, there are many different experiences for traveling fans
The most popular city will be Vancouver due to its near perfect summer weather, it's accessibility, and because it's hosting the Final Match. Montreal (one of our favorite cities) will also be popular because of its French culture and rich history.
Vancouver and Montreal have the largest airports, and will be the easiest to secure nonstop flights from most large US airports.
Toronto is Canada's largest city, but won't play World Cup host as they're hosting next summer's PanAm Games.
Summary of Each Host City – Canada 2015
1. Vancouver: Dynamic, international city that offers an unprecedented range of activities and experiences. There are many cultural attractions and performing arts for visitors to partake in Canada's 3rd largest city. Daytrips to Whistler will be a very popular excursion for those heading to Vancouver.
Match Details: Vancouver is hosting five group play matches, two round of 16, one Quarterfinal and the Final match.
2. Montreal: Has everything that one of the world's great cities (and 2nd largest in Canada) should have to offer. This predominantly French yet multi-cultural metropolis is home to more than 120 cultural communities, and has a charming ambiance that is part American, part European.
Match Details: Montreal is hosting six group play matches, one round of 16, one Quarterfinal and one Semifinal match.
3. Edmonton: More than 1 million people call Edmonton home, but it hasn't lost its small-town friendliness and western hospitality for which it has always been famous. Welcoming atmosphere and natural beauty has attracted newcomers from all over the world. Edmonton is home to the largest shopping mall in North America.
Match Details: Edmonton is hosting six group play matches, two round of 16, one Quarterfinal, one Semifinal, and the Third place match.
4. Ottawa: Ottawa has cultural amenities expected by the diplomatic crowd, but still maintains the friendliness and ease of a much smaller city. You'll hear English and French spoken on the streets and you'll also find a thriving high technology and entrepreneurial community in Canada's capital city.
Match Details: Ottawa is hosting six group play matches, two round of 16, and one Quarterfinal.
5. Winnipeg: Manitoba's vibrant capital city is located at the center of Canada and North America. With a population of 800,000 culturally diverse people, the city has a cosmopolitan, international flair and a welcoming spirit.
Match Details: Winnipeg is hosting seven group play matches including Team USA's first match against Australia (June 8th).
6. Moncton: With a population of 138,000, Moncton is the smallest host city. It's rated one of the best places to live in Canada and is the entertainment capital of New Brunswick. It's central to two coasts; the rugged beauty of the Fundy Coast (highest tides in the world), and the beautiful Acadian Coast (warmest saltwater beaches north of Virginia).
Match Details: Moncton is hosting six group play matches and one round of 16 match.
Trip Planning
There are two ways you can go about planning your World Cup adventure. Here are the pro's and con's of each trip below:
1. Follow Team USA Trip
Watching the USWNT has never been easier with the World Cup being played almost in our backyard.
There is no control over which cities you visit, the schedule is determined by a blind draw.
2. City Based Trips
If you know which city or cities that you want to visit, you can take your trip during group play matches and be guaranteed to see a number one seed, or you can wait and visit one of the host cities during a Quarterfinal, Semifinal and/or the Final match in Vancouver. Planning your trip to Vancouver during the finals is the best way to hedge for a USA match and will let you see one of the world's most spectacular destinations.
You can reserve your trip now and not have to worry about price increases or availability for airfare, hotel, transportation, city tours, excursions, etc.
Control your destination and select the type of trip that works best for you and your friends/family
No guarantee which teams you will see
Bottom Line:
With the World Cup being played in North America and Team USA being the favorite, demand from American soccer fans to attend the World Cup will be at an all-time high in 2015.
Reserving now will guarantee the city you want to visit at the best prices; prices will only increase as the event nears.
There are lots of companies selling packages to the Women's World Cup. Check out Fandeaver (launched by former Zappos employees) for one of the better experiences.

At an age when most children prefer to play with toys, two-year old Dolly Shivani Cherukuri is already breaking national records. On Tuesday, the kindergartner became the youngest person in India to score more than 200 points at an archery event. Representatives from the India Book of Records were on the scene to witness the tiny wunderkind kick ass.
The young prodigy, who is weeks from turning three, showed she's no one to mess with. Cherukuri fired 36 arrows at a target 5m away, then again at a target 7m away, scoring a total of 388 points, above and beyond the standard, which means she'll probably get to keep her name in the record books for a very long time.
Cherukuri comes from a family of archers—her father, Cherukuri Satyanarayana, operates an archery academy and says she had been trained since before birth to be a champion. In fact, she was born via surrogacy and groomed to be an archer after the tragic death of her older sibling, Cherukuri Lenin, an international archer and coach.
When we came to know that the baby was on her way we decided to mould her as an archer," Satyanarayana, told the AFP. "The preparations started when she was in the womb itself."
Mr Satyanarayana said they had arrows specially made for the toddler out of carbon when she was first learning the sport to ensure they were light enough for her to carry.
Archery experts say children are trained on lighter bows and Mr Abrol says Dolly's bow would also have been very light.
"You can't put too much pressure on children, they can be trained for a maximum of two or three hours a day," he said. "But Dolly comes from a family of archers so she's capable of a lot."
India may boast a strong record of success in archery but this story still amazes. Is two or three years old too young to be groomed as a champion?
Those Beyoncé "7/11″ remakes keep comin'. The video for the up-tempo, hip-hop track, off Bey's "Platinum Edition" album, has nearly 200 million views and launched numerous re-creations. The original clip was shot in the style of a home-made visual with Beyonce dancing at various locations.
Now, check out Serena Williams' take courtesy of Vogue (she's the April cover girl). The tennis star delivers a one-and-a-half minute Bey-inspired remake shot at the BallenIsles Country Club in Florida featuring some impressive tennis shots along with her dance moves.
Who's up for the challenge next?
HBO and Playtone have set David Auburn (the playwright behind Proof) to script an untitled project that has Elizabeth Banks playing Billie Jean King and Paul Giamatti Bobby Riggs in the a story of the 1973 Battle of the Sexes tennis match in which the 29-year-old No. 2-ranked female star beat the 55-year-old retired former Wimbledon champ.
Apparently, the 1infamous match between feminist Billie Jean King and chauvinistic Bobby Riggs has reached the point where it's cool for competing teams to develop a bunch of different movies about the same thing.
A feature version of the match is also being developed by Chernin Entertainment and Gary Sanchez Productions' Match Maker, based on Don Van Matta Jr's ESPN The Magazine article "The Match Maker: Bobby Riggs, The Mafia And The Battle Of The Sexes." In that version — which has Steve Conrad writing and Will Ferrell attached to play Riggs — the connotation is that Riggs' indebtedness to outside parties could have influenced the results of an event that caught the zeitgeist like few sporting events have, drawing 50 million viewers to the telecast.
The HBO film will be exec produced by Playtone partners Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, along with Banks and her Brownstone Productions partner Max Handelman.
In 2001, a TV movie "When Billie Beat Bobby," starred Holly Hunter as BJK.
Wow. Ronda Rousey was impressive at UFC 184 even for someone who is always impressive. There just aren't enough superlatives to describe the MMA fighter who remains the undefeated women's bantamweight champion after defeating Cat Zingano last night in a mere 14 seconds. A fight that wasn't even the length of a vine.
Zingano, who many believed was a credible challenge, immediately charged Rousey and knocked her down to start the fight, only to submit seconds later when Rousey turned the tables and locked her in an inverted armbar. The entire scene, which could easily be missed if you were momentarily distracted, left viewers speechless.
My neighborhood pub, which showed the fight on multiple big screens, was the perfect viewing venue. A small portion of the Saturday night regulars were MMA fans – but most were there for the selection of artisan whiskeys, convivial company and gourmet bar eats. For me, the coolest part of the night was watching every single patron – male, female, young and old – riveted by Rousey. The entire place started buzzing when Holly Holm and Raquel Pennington entered the Octagon and while some were initially skeptical of a chick fight, the crowd was quickly transfixed. By the time Rousey's walkout song played, everyone in the place was a fight fan. Those familiar with Rousey quickly became Yodas to the uninitiated and I don't think there was a single eye in the place looking anywhere but at the TV screens when the fight began.
Despite the length of the match (it was tied, according to UFC, for the fastest submission in UFC history and was the fastest win in a UFC title fight) it was enough to turn the tide for any skeptics. And I think it also turned many non-fight fans into supporters of women's MMA. There wasn't a person who walked out of the bar last night who wasn't now familiar with Rousey and what a beast she is. It appears she's simply unstoppable and her next fight will be followed not only by every patron in the bar but by every friend, co-worker and family member they told about the match. Word of mouth is always the best advertising.
Looking ahead, Rousey said:
"I was really impressed with Holly Holm tonight, I always like to test myself against that level of striking," Rousey said. "And Bethe Correia, she's undefeated, I'd like to take that '0′ away from her."
We'll be waiting and watching.

Dying. This may be the cutest thing ever. Pretty Tough indeed.
Gender equity in sports may still be lacking, but it's more important than ever that girls and women be seen as athletic role models, and the term 'Like A Girl' be seen as powerful rather than derogatory. The #LikeAGirl campaign makes viewers acutely aware of the way society views women, particularly activities that are stereotypically "girly".
Boys should never question why girls play, or how hard they play. And girls should always have the confidence to be strong and powerful.
I love that there is a movement trying to move #LikeAGirl from an insult to a compliment. It just seems so obvious. What is wrong with being a girl? Shame on us for letting it become a put-down. Girls should never feel "less than" because of their femininity.
February and March are important months for women. National Girls and Women in Sports Day(NGWSD) takes place the first week of February and March hosts International Women's Day (this year March 8). Both serve as reminders that as far as we have come for gender equity, there is no finish line in sight.
The "Like A Girl" ad, unveiled during the Super Bowl, launched a direct hit at the derogatory phrase that stereotypes girls and their strength, or lack thereof. In a shorter take of a video that went viral last summer, adults and a young boy are asked to run, fight and throw "like a girl." Not surprisingly, they perform these tasks in the wimpiest way possible.
When a group of girls, unfamiliar with the negative stereotype, are asked to do the same thing, they give it all they got; they run as fast as they can, and throw and punch with force.
The ad, produced by Always sanitary napkins, debuted during the biggest all-male televised sporting event of the year. On a day that glorifies masculine athleticism, Procter & Gamble made viewers consider female strength as well. There's no mention of Always' products in the ad: Instead, it's more of a PSA for women. Overt or not, feminine hygiene products getting the attention of 114 million television viewers was a power play for gender equity.
From the Always site, the brand explains their positioning:
Using #LikeAGirl as an insult is a hard knock against any adolescent girl. And since the rest of puberty's really no picnic either, it's easy to see what a huge impact it can have on a girl's self-confidence.
We're kicking off an epic battle to make sure that girls everywhere keep their confidence throughout puberty and beyond, and making a start by showing them that doing it #LikeAGirl is an awesome thing.
Always also conducted a survey study that unveiled some worrying statistics, including:
Lauren Greenfield, the filmmaker and director of the #LikeAGirl video, says that in her work as a documentarian, she has witnessed the confidence crisis among girls and the negative impact of stereotypes. As her video and data demonstrate, by the time many girls hit puberty, they start to be conditioned to think doing something "like a girl" means doing something badly.
At Pretty Tough, we've been advocating for girls to embrace their strength and power for nearly a decade. Wanting to be pretty and tough are not mutually exclusive and there is no need for girls to compartmentalize their lives. Research proves over and over again that being physically active – especially for girls – is beneficial on a myriad of levels.
According to the Women's Sports Foundation, girls and women who participate in sports have better body image, more confidence, suffer less from depression, and experience higher states of well-being. Also, girls who participate in high school sports are more likely to avoid unintended pregnancies, earn higher grades, and made it to graduation more often then those who don't play sport.
When it comes to getting girls into sports, parents should encourage girls early and serve as role models. Even if mom and dad are not athletes or physically active, there are lots of opportunities at local parks and gyms to get involved. And for parents who are more spectators than participants, sometimes all it takes is a little encouragement to get them out on the field. So turn the tables and push them out of their comfort zone. Playing sports can be a lifetime activity that is fun for the whole family.
Hopefully, the "Like a Girl" video (with 55 million + views) and sites like ours will remind people that doing something "like a girl" is not an insult.

Can you imagine a sports world without the Williams sisters, Jackie Joyner Kersee or Gabby Douglas? It's pretty difficult to picture, but there once was a time when women weren't allowed to compete. And there was also a time when black athletes weren't allowed to be on the same playing field as white people. Fortunately, there were African-American women who ignored the racial slurs and death threats and focused on creating equality in sports. This month, to celebrate Black History Month, we'd like to honor some of the women who have contributed to the soul of sports.
Althea Gibson was a pioneer in both amateur tennis and professional golf. In 1942, Althea entered and won her first tennis tournament. In 1947, Althea won the first of ten straight ATA National Championships. In 1956, she won the French Championships and, in 1957, won the All-England Championships at Wimbledon and U.S. National Tennis Championships at Forest Hills. Althea retired from amateur tennis in 1958 after she had won Wimbledon. In 1964, Gibson launched her golf career, joining the LPGA. She retired in 1971.
Another pioneer, Zina Garrison, became the first black woman to reach a Grand Slam Final (1990). She began playing tennis at the age of ten and held 20 major doubles championships before the end of her career.
Both Gibson and Garrison are sports legends who paved the way for athletes like Venus and Serena Williams. Both sisters turned professional at 14 and have since moved up in the ranks to become two of the top single and doubles players on the circuit. In 2008, Venus won Wimbledon in a match against Serena, sister against sister. Last year, Serena won the Australian Open for a record fifth time and went on to win Wimbledon.
Track & Field
It's inconceivable to discuss black, female athletes without mentioning Jackie Joyner Kersee, considered by many to be the greatest female athlete ever, who became the first participant to score more than 7,000 points in the heptathlon. In an era where an immediate success gets followed by queries over performance-enhancing drugs, there were never questions surrounding Jackie Joyner-Kersee. As a six-time Olympic gold medalist, Joyner-Kersee has made strides off the track by starting the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation which provides athletic resources to at-risk families in the St. Louis area.
Gail Devers is also an inspiration, winning gold in the 100 meter dash in two consecutive Olympics as is three-time gold medal winner Valerie Brisco. And of course there's Flo Jo (Florence Griffith Joyner) who set record after record as the World's Fastest Woman. Following in the footsteps of these great track and field athletes are contemporary runners like Allyson Felix, Carmelita Jeter and Sanya Richards-Ross.
No one paved the way for black female track and field athletes quite like Wilma Rudolph. At a young age, Rudolph faced adversity when she was diagnosed with polio but that didn't stop her from racking up three gold medals during the 1960 Olympics. Her performance compelled many young female teenagers to take an interest in track and field. A winner and inspiration, the embodiment of an icon.
On the basketball court it's easy to think about Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson. But how about Lisa Leslie, Chamique Holdsclaw, Swin Cash, Cheryl Miller, Sheryl Swoope, Candace Parker or Maya Moore? From Final Four appearances to representing the U.S. at the Olympic Games and playing in the WNBA, these basketball players, and many others, are role models for thousands of girls.
Softball also boasts some great players. Gold Medalist Natasha Whately broke the Olympic record for stolen bases with five in nine games and emerged in 2004 as one of the best players in the world.
It's easy to see why Dominique Dawes was called "Awesome Dawesome." Dawes vaulted her way into the record books with a string of awards and titles. She came home with a bronze medal from the 1992 Olympics and two years later became the first gymnast since 1969 to make a clean sweep of everything gold at the U.S. National Gymnastics Championship.
The 2012 London Games introduced the world to Gabby Douglas, the first African-American gymnast in Olympic history to become the individual all-around champion. At just 16 years of age, Douglas was voted AP Female Athlete of the Year and featured on a Corn Flakes box.
Flo Hyman is remembered not only as a great athlete whose life and career were cut tragically short, but also as a woman of great character. At 6 feet 5 inches she played volleyball for the University of Houston and went on to win the silver medal at the 1984 Olympic games. In 1986 Flo collapsed and died during a volleyball match. Later than year, she was posthumously inducted into the International Women's Sports Hall of Fame.
Winter Olympics
Who can forget 2002 when Vonetta Flowers made Olympic history, becoming the first African-American to win a gold medal in the Winter Olympics? Her fellow Olympians chose her to carry the U.S.A. flag in the closing ceremonies.
Maritza Correia is part of a new generation of competitive African-American swimmers. In addition to competing at the Beijing Olympics, Correia hopes to provide young minority girls with a swimming role model and bring the sport to inner city communities.
Black, female athletes are making moves in new arenas, some fairly obscure. Laura Flessel-Colovic has established herself as the top French fencer and one of the world's best. Flessel-Colovic started her career at seven years old and worked her way up to winning three Olympic medals and three world championship titles.
For their contributions to female sports – from amateur and college competitions to the world stage of the Olympics and professional sports – black, female athletes have achieved parity with their white female counterparts and are celebrated around the world.
As we embark on a month-long celebration of African American History, let's not forget these unforgettable athletes.
It's the Super Bowl once again — time to whip up some snacks, crowd onto the couch, and root for your favorite team. Or not. Maybe it's time to finally call out the NFL for the hideous lack of respect they show their players, their fans and women in particular.
For the record, I like the game of football. It's not my favorite sport but there are dramatic narratives which appeal to me as a storyteller. It is strategic and psychological and physical and can go from zero to intense in a matter of seconds. I also like to play a bit of flag or touch and I enjoy watching college ball. So before I hate on the NFL too much I want to make it clear that it's not the sport I have a problem with. It's the league.
The fact is, the NFL is little more than a money-making, thug-filled freak show that rewards beaters and abusers— players like Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and Jonathan Dwyer. According to the USA Today NFL arrest database, there have been 89 family violence arrests of NFL players since January 2000, making domestic violence the worst crime category within the NFL. And there are at least a dozen NFL players who have domestic violence arrests and are still playing.
A lot of attention has been paid over the past couple years to the long-term damage NFL players suffer from concussive hits on the field. But until the Ray Rice incident, the league had consistently turned a blind eye to blows sustained by women at the hands of NFL players.
Off-field violence and dumb decisions aren't unique to football but they do tend to be more rampant. A 30-second commercial created by the advocacy group No More will air during Sunday's game providing 100 million+ viewers a glimpse into how complex and cold-blooded abuse is. That won't solve the problem but it will shed some light on it.
I think part of what makes the game of football so powerful is the violence. Unlike everything else on TV, it isn't fake or scripted; It is straight-up dangerous. Big, explosive hits are the name of the game. Injuries are so common that teams often have more than one replacement player for the same position. Who knows the long-term effect of those minutes on the field? In court documents, the NFL recently estimated that a third of all retired players will develop long-term cognitive problems. Some of these guys can't even remember their own address. And for most of their career the league lied to them about the risks of brain damage.
The biggest problem I have with the NFL is that they say one thing and do another. The league preaches that they want to improve player safety but they do little to actually make that happen. This lip service includes fining players for helmet to helmet tackles while pushing to lengthen the season which would not only ensure more injuries but potentially cut players careers short.
The NFL is poised to make $9 billion this year and Goddell says he wants to reach $25 billion. The league doesn't care if fans have to spend $300 to sit in the nosebleed section of the stadium, as long as they go home with a Tom Brady jersey. The league doesn't care if there are blows sustained by women at the hands of NFL players, as long as there are no viral videos documenting the abuse. And the league doesn't care if players illegally inflate or deflate balls, as long as record numbers show up for the championship game.
In the last decade or so, women have turned from casual NFL fans to an important demographic, and females now comprise about 45 percent of the NFL audience on TV and at stadiums. That's a significant number and I think women should wield more clout than they do.
The NFL is banking on the fact fans (male and female) adore watching football games — but in all probability, the league is just laughing all the way to the bank. They have turned professional football, one of the most endearing touchstones in our culture, into a calculating, wealthy entity.
Despite the fact that the game is too brutal, the executives are too greedy and leadership is lacking, the NFL has never been more popular. And unless the leadership begins to cost the owners money, the owners have little reason to change the way things are done.
I'll probably go to the neighborhood Super Bowl party Sunday. I may pay attention to the game (though in all likelihood I won't). I'll play the pool and watch the half-time entertainment and commercials but will miss the banned touchdown celebrations. And through it all, a small part of me will feel uneasy about supporting the whole sham.
The NFL needs to show some leadership and address the matter of domestic violence. They need to dictate to players that abusive behavior will not be tolerated. They need to step up to make the game safe for players. And they need to respect human beings (and especially women) more than the bottom line. When that happens, I'll be the first one on the couch – rooting for my favorite team.
In the meantime, maybe I'll just opt for the Puppy Bowl.

Glee and Whiplash breakout Melissa Benoist (@itsmmbenoist) has been tapped to play the iconic DC Comics character, Supergirl, in the upcoming CBS/WB produced TV show.
The hourlong drama, which received a hefty series commitment, centers on Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin, who was born on the planet Krypton and escaped amid its destruction years ago. Benoist will play Kara, who after arriving on Earth was taken in by a foster family who taught her to be careful with her extraordinary powers (which she shares with her famous cousin, Superman).
The story picks up with Kara, now 24, feeling un-empowered and a slave to having repressed her innate abilities. An unexpected disaster forces her to use her powers in public. Energized by her heroic deed, for the first time in her life, Kara begins embracing her extraordinary abilities. She begins helping the people of her city and they soon take notice — and she's even given a new moniker: Supergirl.
Benoist becomes the latest actress to portray the character, who was previously portrayed on the big screen by Helen Slater, and most recently played on the small screen by Laura Vandervoort on The CW's Superman origin story Smallville.
The Glee actress was one of many actresses to test for the role, edging out The Vampire Diaries/The Originals' Claire Holt, and Once Upon a Time's Elizabeth Lail, among others, for the part.
Benoist joined Fox's Glee during season four, as Marley Rose, one of McKinley High's new students after the musical's senior class graduated. She was promoted to series regular ahead of season five and had been considered the heir apparent to star Lea Michele's Rachel on the series before the musical was retooled.
CBS head Nina Tassler shared her first impressions of the project at the network's recent TCA Winter Press Tour presentation: "She embodied so many of the characteristics of classic female heroines on the network… We fell in love with the pitch." At the time, casting was not yet complete, but Tassler told reporters, "We're looking for quality, charisma. She's got to be everywoman." The character's iconic costume has been designed by Colleen Atwood, who also created the updated looks for Stephen Amell's Arrow and Grant Gustin's Flash.
Supergirl will not be the first time Benoist has played a superhero. The actress donned a cape as "Woman Fierce" in Glee's "Dynamic Duets" episode in which the glee club channeled their inner super hero. (Watch her performance of "Holding Out for a Hero," below.)
Arrow and Flash's Greg Berlanti (who we've loved since his Dawson's Creek days) and his No Ordinary Family cohort Ali Adler (The New Normal) will pen the script and executive produce the drama.
Benoist's credits include a supporting role in awards season darling Whiplash, (as Miles Teller's love interest) which is nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture. and roles on CBS' Blue Bloods and The Good Wife as well as Showtime's Homeland. She will next be seen in the film The Longest Ride, opposite Britt Robertson and Scott Eastwood, in theaters on April 12.
While TV has been dominated by male comic book heroes in the years since Lynda Carter's "Wonder Woman" went off the air, a number of female-led properties are currently in production; ABC recently premiered "Marvel's Agent Carter" starring Hayley Atwell; The CW will debut "iZombie" with Rose McIver in March; and Netflix is currently in development on "Marvel's Jessica Jones," played by Krysten Ritter.

All of the other decorative shower curtains that I've bought in the past have been from ******. It was a much better quality compared to this one. This one is very thin and is not as heavy as the others. Hopefully it lasts. It's very pretty though! Gets the job done I guess :-)Read More

Kashmir Chower Curtain
The picture is gorgeous and the colors are attractive but the actual product that I received does not look like the crisp, straight picture. The columns are sown crooked and the hanging curtain appears to lean and be uneven. The wrinkled look does not help the overall appearance.Read More
Kashmir Shower Curtain
We had just finished a remodel of our bathroom. I was looking for a shower curtain that was multi-colored but with one specific color in it being the "grape". I looked at every named department store with no luck. When I logged on to the Shower Curtain section, it was the first one that I saw and I knew it was what I was looking for. It matched perfectly and the quality was good. I would recommend it to others.Read More
