As usual, London was somewhere in between weather wise. 10 deg C. Started dull and overcast, then the sun came out for an hour or two (hurrah!), then it drizzled for a while before finally making up its mind to have a good solid rain for a bit (boo!). By this time it was 4pm so the sun hit the horizon & went down with a soggy thud (not that you could actually see it by then) .... Classic for the time of year.
Forecast for the next 3 months? More of the same (and I don't need zillions of quids worth of Met. Office supercomputer to work that one out)...
Good thing about the cold is that most people stay indoors, leaving us free to photograph in peace. Personally, I don't care if it's cold or hot, I just can't shoot in the &£%dy rain!
Cheers, Bob.

Very unhappy with the size and quality if the rose could have picked up the sane size at Lidel. Called customer service to complain , they contacted the seller who said I would have to pay for the return of the rose ( the place is only a few miles from where my parents live) when I emailed customer service to express my upset about this lack of customer service ( why not replace the rose with the nature plant I was exoecting?) the company had contacted me on an email address which would not allow replys to be sent so the email bounced back to me. I am furious abot this. All I can say us thank heavens for social media as I have every intention to use it to warn people not to use this website.

Hi, can a front-end user post an ad if he wants to sell his porperty like in a Classified Ads website?
Pre-Purchase Question: Does this support IDX Feeds?
When you open login form, close it and open again it's not possible to mark/unmark "Remember me" checkbox.
I'm still interested in this theme, but have discovered that it crashes ie 8 and ie 9 (your own demo). This is probably an ajax issue and of course microsofts fault, but as many surfers still use these browsers and microsoft are unlikely to fix it, then this needs to be addressed by you the developer.
Hey can a user list a property from front end?
So sick that he just abandons the theme (unless something happened to him of course, if that is the case, I apologise).
I think people just want some clearance, so if you are somehow reading here, please reply to us regarding the state of your theme.
- Casper.

Hi there. Presale question. Is there a way to use this theme to list cars instead houses/appartments? Thanks
Looks like this theme has been abandoned?

Basketweave Cake W/ Strawberries
- Uploaded By GeminiRJ
- 2008-08-01 11:45:30
This was my week for doing basketweave cakes! For my sister's co-worker and all the other nurses. They don't care what's on the cake, as long as the cake is a chocolate/chocolate chip cake with chocolate frosting. This is an 8" square, decorated using a #48 tip for the horizontals, a #5 for the verticals, and #18's for the rope border.

In high school, Carl Laffoon had dreams of being a doctor. He started working as a paramedic, and before long was married with children. It was 20 years before Laffoon, in 2007, opened his own family practice/urgent care clinic in Tuttle, where he and two other providers see about 6,000 patients from Newcastle and Bridge Creek to Minco, Moore and south Oklahoma City. Laffoon never became a doctor. He's a nurse practitioner, a registered nurse who holds master's and doctorate degrees in advanced nursing. Oklahoma allows nurse practitioners to treat and diagnose patients, order tests and prescribe medications without collaborating with a physician. Most work with doctors in physician offices or hospitals, but they, like Laffoon, can work independently in almost any field, including family practice, pediatrics and women's health. With health care reform — and the anticipated influx in 2014 of about 50 million previously uninsured patients — nurse practitioners are expected to fill a key role in aiding time-stressed doctors as physician extenders. According to the Oklahoma State Medical Association, the state already is short about 400 family physicians, while the shortage nationwide is expected to nearly triple to 46,000 by 2020. With rising malpractice insurance and lowered government reimbursements, fewer pursue medicine and most who do go into specialties or surgery to earn more, studies show. "As a primary care health provider, I see results," said Laffoon, who worked years as an emergency/critical nurse and as a hospital executive. "Patients present with hypertension, high cholesterol and diabetes that was never diagnosed, and we can follow the standards of care and actually get it under control, and that feels good." Laffoon, who works with two other board-certified family nurse practitioners, refers unstable chronic patients to specialists and, per state law, has a collaborating physician they can call, fax or e-mail regarding questions about prescriptions. Nurse practitioners are well-equipped to provide holistic care with a focus on communication and bedside manner, said Susie Jones, who oversees some 25 advanced practice nurses, including nurse practitioners, at Integris Baptist Medical Center. "Many patients prefer to see a nurse practitioner," Jones said. "They don't see it as a hierarchy of care, but feel like they've been heard and are important." Among other things, Integris nurse practitioners are willing and take the time to discuss with patients the financial, resources and other components of end-of-life issues, Jones said. Others work with social workers, coordinating the minute details of chronically ill children sent home on suction equipment or ventilators. Integris neonatal nurse practitioner Julie Reid loves her work. "We do rounding on our babies, write orders, plan their care, collaborate with doctors and communicate with nurses and patients," she said. "We can do everything our physicians do."
Career SpotlightNurse practitioner
• Education: Bachelor's in nursing; master's in advanced nursing, including some 50 classroom hours, which can include online learning, and 840 hours of supervised hands-on training. By 2015, doctorates are expected to be required.

Microsoft has decided to better align security and protection solutions with the workloads and applications they protect, Microsoft is announcing changes to the roadmaps of some of the security solutions made available under the Forefront brand.
For collaboration protection, SharePoint and Lync Servers will continue to offer the built-in security capabilities that many customers use to protect shared documents. For remote access, DirectAccess and Routing and Remote Access Server (RRAS) VPN in Windows Server 2012 provide secure remote access for Windows and cross-platform clients, as well as cross-premise access through site to site VPN. Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) 2010 also continues to provide secure application publishing and cross-platform SSL VPN remote access for a range of mobile devices. We will continue to provide maintenance and support for the following Forefront solutions through the standard Microsoft support lifecycle (see chart below), but the discontinued Forefront offerings will no longer be available for purchase as of Dec. 1, 2012.
It is important to note that there are no significant changes to the Forefront Identity Manager or Forefront Unified Access Gateway roadmaps. These solutions continue to be actively developed. Forefront UAG 2010 SP2 was released in August 2012 and Forefront Identity Manager 2010 R2 was release in June 2012.

Main Pick
Street King: CyHi the Prynce
Holding It Down For: Decatur, Georgia
Mixtape: Royal Flush
Real Spit: After guest appearances on a couple of Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Friday posse cuts and a spot on the Rosewood cypher during the 2010 BET Hip-Hop Awards, heads are quickly becoming familiar with the name CyHi the Prynce.
The former Mixtape Daily Fire Starter broke bread Down South before inking a deal with Akon and Def Jam, then 'Ye scooped him up to join his eclectic G.O.O.D. Music roster. Now, the Decatur rep is reintroducing himself to the public with his latest offering, Royal Flush, a 17-track set divided into four sections: Prynce of Spades, Prynce of Hearts, Prynce of Clubs and Prynce of Diamonds.
"It's somewhat the same person; it's just a mature me," CyHi told us about the tape, a follow-up to February's The Prynce of Jacks. "I'm older, wiser now. I do a lot more reading. I observe a lot more things. I'm taking it more serious and my team is taking it more serious. So it's a combination of all of us just putting forth the effort that's dedicated to the music.
"On this one, I was saving a lot of this for an album, but I put it out myself like, 'I can do this again.' I feel like I can do it more than once, more than three times. I gave y'all my nukes. I threw a couple of nukes in. Other than that, it's the same me, just more wise and more groomed."
Sounds like 'Ye may have a winning hand in the Prynce.
Joints to Check For
» "Sideways." "When I was making this song, I was just thinking, 'OK, with me being signed, some people look at me crazy, like they wish they were in [my] position,' " Cy explained. " 'Cause I didn't do it the traditional way. The traditional way is just get all your dope boys and dope girls, bring them to the club, throw a lot of money, get your buzz on the street — I just did it with pure talent. So a lot of people look at me like, 'How did he get with Kanye and Jay, and I'm bigger than him?' "
» "So Original." "I think I'm cool just being me," CyHi said. "I don't try too much; I don't try too less. I feel like I'm cool being me. I feel like it's cool to be you: Be original, don't follow in nobody's footsteps unless it's called for. If it's a legend or a role model you look up to, but other than that, do you. Be yourself. Don't let no one pressure you to do nothing you don't want to do. And be original."
» "Hero." "I always felt once you get to a certain status, higher powers even try to bring you down sometimes," the Prynce said. "I always say, 'They stoned Jesus.' How I look at it is, eventually all of us will leave here one day and hopefully we'll be inspirational to someone's life. I want to be at a level where I have a lot of influence on young brothers and sisters. To somebody, my niece, my nephew, a friend of mine, or whatever the case may be. I want to be a hero before I leave."

Shot man held over Westbury shootingComment on this story
Johannesburg - The man who was shot and wounded in the Westbury shooting, that also left a three-year-old boy critically wounded, was arrested on Wednesday, Gauteng police said.
The man was taken in for questioning and later arrested, Warrant Officer Gordon Billing said.
The man and three-year-old Luke Tibbetts were travelling in the area in separate vehicles when they were hit by stray bullets.
They were taken to nearby hospitals.
The man was shot in his right arm and was treated and discharged.
He would appear on Thursday in the Newlands Magistrate's Court.
Lindray Khakhu, 24, was arrested for allegedly shooting and wounding Tibbetts.
On Tuesday, he appeared in the Newlands Magistrate's Court and the matter was postponed to August 12. He would remain in custody.
The case was handed over to the provincial police.
"The provincial police have taken over the case because there are a lot of conflicting stories from residents," said Billing.
Residents had been providing police with different stories and more information was outstanding.

SKANDIA - Skandia Geelong Week 2008
Grant Wharington and his crew on the 98ft Skandia may not have broken their own record of 1 hour 40 minutes 7 seconds set in 2006, but they were happy to take line honours in the 2008 Skandia Geelong Week Passage Race today when they finished off the host venue, Royal Geelong Yacht Club shortly after 1.00pm.
The Don Jones designed super-maxi from Mornington in Victoria finished at 13.04.47 this afternoon, in other words, it took 3 hours 34min 47secs to complete the 34.3 nautical mile course sailed in mixed winds, nearly two hours outside her race record.
"We started beautifully and we were shooting along at 20-22 knots – everything was looking rosy, then the breeze shut down," Wharington said.
The race started off Williamstown this morning at 9.30am when John Brumby, the Premier of Victoria, fired the start cannon to send the fleet on their way in ideal conditions; flat waters under a clear blue sunny sky. Under spinnaker, the huge fleet made a spectacular kaleidoscope of colour across the Williamstown start area with hundreds of spectators enjoying the spectacle.
Early forecasts suggested 5-6 knot breezes from the north and north-west. Wharington said although it started light, the mostly north-westerly breeze picked up to around 18 knots. "Until half way down the course when it lightened, which was a shame, because we were holding our time on the fleet until then (leading on handicap)," Wharington said.
"At times it went between north and east and it got sticky for the second half of the race. At least we didn't see the three lemons," said Wharington referring to the possibility of seeing nil knots of boat speed register on his electronic equipment. "We did get down to 0.8 of a knot, but kept the boat moving. We're just happy to win line honours," he said.
Sydney sailor Bob Steel sailed his recently purchased TP52 Quest to second place over the line, helmsman Jamie McPhail telling: "We had a good start, we started where we wanted to and stayed with our game plan."
Quest is looking good for a second overall, which would enhance their lead of the Audi Series to-date. "We chose the right sails and got away from the other TPs. We peeled three times as the breezes died and that was when the fleet sailed back to us – in the light stuff. "Wot Yot and Beau Geste sailed a lot out of us in the second half – they still had consistent breeze. We're in good shape though – this regatta is a good first trip for us," McPhail said.
Beau Geste, a Reichel/Pugh 45 owned by Hong Kong department store owner Karl Kwok, was third to cross the line this afternoon and looks likely to win the race overall. Race Officials will calculate the scores once the entire 351 boat fleet finishes the race, which should be late this afternoon.
Kwok, his helmsman Mark Bradman and tactician Gavin Brady, both highly respected America's Cup sailors, were feeling somewhat confident.
"We had a good run coming down. We stayed well left of the course at the start – we wanted to get clear air. We managed to avoid all the stops (many boats got caught in windless holes and 'parked' for some time), we kept moving the whole time," Kwok said. "The crew sailed very well. We stayed away from the forecast holes. We were lucky we had such good weather. I've never seen so many boats on a start, nothing like it before – it was unbelievable. This is my first time at Skandia Geelong Week, I definitely want to come back here," said Kwok who will head back to Hong Kong at the end of the regatta to get ready for the busy Chinese New Year on February 7.
The second TP52, Graeme Wood's Wot Yot (NSW) was next home. "We had an interesting start – we were On Course Side, so had to go back with great difficulty and start again," Wood, a first timer at Skandia Geelong Week said this afternoon.
SAILING - Skandia Geelong Week 2008, Melbourne(Australia) - 25/01/08 - ph. Andrea Francolini QUEST
"It wasn't part of any plan we had, or any plan I heard about anyway," the jocular Wood said. "After that, we were on fire! We sailed over the top of Cougar II (the third TP52 in the fleet) and kept going. We didn't park at all; just kept the boat going the whole way. "It was a great race – sunny, flat and a great breeze – up to about 18 knots. It eased gradually." Tactician Sean Kirkjian said: "It eased about one hour into the race and we lost a couple of knots every 10 minutes or so."
Wood said he is enjoying is first Skandia Geelong Week experience. "Yes, I'm enjoying the regatta very much – we'll be back to defend our title," he said tongue in cheek. Well he might – a hoped for third overall today leaves Wood in a very advantageous top three overall for the Audi Series so far.
For those yachts contesting the prestigious Audi Series, The Passage Race counts as their fifth race and the series continues on Corio Bay tomorrow.

Grand Theft Auto IV
Question from Hotshot2351
The chopper bike named zombie where can i get it?
The mission where you kill the guys daughters boy friend the biker he has a bike named zombie anyone know where i can find one other then the mission mine fell into the water
7 years ago
All I know is the Zombie chopper bike can be found in that mission, and possibly any other mission involving the Lost Biker Gang. I heard from several people that it's not a rare vehicle and it can be found in regular traffic. My best advice to you is to look for it when you encounter the Lost Biker Gang in any other mission, and to look around the Gang's territories; they're bound to be riding them obviously!!!

There never WAS an appeal! That's the whole joke! Apparently people fell for it and started thinking that she was hot. I dont know people really drive me nuts!
Oh my God, STFU, you looks-activist.
to be fair, she is funny and pretty nice.
didn't she say she was gay?
It's like a pre-pregnancy Jessica Simpson.
Look at those puppies!
Look! It's Stifler's flaccid dick.
I just love Jennifer Coolidge. She was funny as hell in "A Mighty Wind."
To hell with that Stiffler's Mom bullshit. I'm embarrassed to admit even knowing what that refers to.
Agreed! And don't forget Best in Show!
I honestly forgot about the American Pie thing.
No longer capable of giving a Stifler.
She could put me in a head lock anytime.

I have chronic neck pain that I have been seeing a pain management doctor for about two years now. I have been taking generic Norco 10/325 for almost 3 years. In the last couple months I have noticed that I am running out before I can renew my perscription. I get 120 tabs a month and it's just not enough. I am suppossed to take them 4x/day but have been taking them 5-6x/day. I am looking for some opinions on what to ask for when I see my Doc next week. I am tired of being in pain all the time and I'm concerned with the long-term affects on my liver. I have had liver function testing and for now everything is ok, any suggestions??

After working with drs for years I can tell you they have no problem prescribing tramadol
6 Sep 2011
Hey Laurhim,
There are alternatives to the Norco. You may benefit from a longer acting med such as Oxycontin or Avinza. The next step up from Norco is Percocet which is oxycodone with acetominophen. The Oxycontin (which is just plain oxycodone with out acetominophen) and the Avinza are long acting formulas which means you wouldn't have to take as often.
Hope this helps,
Thank you LaurieShay. The last time I spoke with my Doc he said he didn't want to put me on Oxycontin because he says that its addictive, like I'm not addicted to the Norco? He said maybe Fentynol patches cause you don't see those sold on the street..I think he's an idiot!! I just thought that was a huge jump from Norco to Fentynol???
Yea, I would have to agree with you, you are already dependent on the Norco. Maybe he would go for the Avinza (morphine sulfate). I think the patches are a hassle anyways.

This project for an extremely creative loft conversion in an industrial property in the heart of Budapest was undertaken by its owner Shay Sabag. The indefinable style of the interior typifies the term eclectic.

More than likely a glitch that IW caused in the update because a lot of people complain about it. Remember they also gave the Maniac a SC-2010 by accident so don't hold it past them to mess something this stupid up. There are a few invincible hackers at all to begin with and probably use modded xboxes, but seeing how this player did not kill you then it's probably the glitch.

I decided not to play the game because I assumed what was happening was this particular glitch I had heard about recently.

Bunch of caps with stripes, misc other caps. pretty much it. Oh and plenty of the Fila wrst/head bands. Nothing much really left to cop.
Picked up this blue apple fitted:
what color earflaps did they have left? and big sizes i assume?

ST:TNG on Blu-Ray visual effects remastering [technical]
Tomalak wrote:
It only looks bad because it was posted on low-res NTSC video,...If they could go back to the original 35mm negatives, TNG could look amazing.
"They further revealed that tests had been done for a possible future Star Trek: The Next Generation - Remastered effort."
-Bill Hunt of The Digital Bits gave us his two cents at
San Diego Comic Con, 2006
Obviously that would be a test done from the scanning of the 35mm original camera negative to HD tape at 1080/24p.
In 1987 the 35mm telecine to standard definition video (480i) options were not great especially when recording to 1" analog videotape. Today's telecine machines working at 2k resolution really pull so much more detail and information out of camera negatives.
The costs _ARE_ very high to re-edit a show when it is not telecined as from a cut negative that was conformed (such as "ER" and "NYPD Blue" and "ST:TOS" were.) If Paramount can make a profit on fan collective remaster packages maybe they will put them out on Blu-Ray. 7 full seasons are just not worth the effort to them.
It probably is unlikely that the CGI effects projects themselves from 1987-1994 were archived, even remain accessible, or are able to be imported into todays software due to Operating Systems and software versions.
Most likely if CGI effects were recreated in HD Eden FX's Gabriel Köerner's model would be used with the current NewTek LightWave 3D v9 software to render out to 1080/24p.
Ron Moore one of the veterans of ST:TNG digital visual effects mentioned his effects on ST:TNG were created [at 29.97fps] without the 3:2 pulldown mimicing a 24fps-film-to-videotape-look.
according to the Millimeter.com March 2002 article on "ST:Enterprise" CGI effects. This is only part of the reason why the digital CGI work done on ST:TNG looked bad.
If they do decide to do it I sure hope the visual effects house contracted has access to the original Andrew Probert designs of the NCC-1701-D as well as the 3-D CGI model
as mentioned here:
ILM's John Knoll also built a CGI Electric Image model of the Enterprise-D for the 1994 film Star Trek Generations. That model was transferred to LightWave and used to create various Galaxy-class starships in episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Timeless". Eden FX's Gabriel Köerner built a new CGI LightWave model for the Enterprise-D's appearance in Star Trek: Enterprise's series finale, "These Are the Voyages...".
Okay that would be the CGI model used in 1987 season 1 and future seasons 2-7, the one built by John Knoll, the one built by Gabriel Köerner as all official TV or cinema NCC-1701-Ds. I will not count the NCC-1701-Ds created for any videogames by the videogame developers.
3 different models created of the Enterprise-D. Only one CGI model was actually used on the TNG television series I believe.
One would think the two CGI models created in 1994 by John Knoll and 2005 by Gabriel Köerner would both be up to the detail level for an HD render. Surely one of those two models could be transferred to current CGI software.
If you want a look at what the recreated and rerendered Enterprise-D would look like on any Blu-Ray remaster as far as lighting, shading, and small design differences than the original TNG CGI NCC-1701-D then check out Enterprise-D's appearance in Star Trek: Enterprise's series finale, "These Are the Voyages..." for a pretty good idea (even if only in standard def.)

Have You Ever Used a Female Condom?
by Fitness
Like us on Facebook
Condoms may not be the sexiest thing, but when compared to the sexually transmitted illnesses they protect against, they seem infinitely cooler. There are choices to be had in the wide world of condoms — there are his and her models available. While the female condom may not be quite as effective as the male versions (female condoms are 75 to 80 percent effective and male condoms are 85 percent effective), the female version gives the ladies more control in the birth-control department. I am curious about you . . .

My husband loves them, but I am not a fan of insertion or removal.

ick. I can't see how it makes any difference to the woman over condoms. Putting one in is probably even more unsexy than regular condoms! Whoever thought, instead of putting a stretchy thing over something, we'll put a baggy thing in a stretchy thing... (if you get what i mean). Ick, having sex with a plastic bag... no thanks! i can't see it feeling AT ALL right :S ick sums it up quite well for me.

I'm married and on birth control, so condoms aren't really a thing I buy. Those look kind of scary, actually.
stylinfabqueen 6 years
I'm scared to death of those things. Maybe the inserting part with it and cost. It's more expansive than just regular condoms (where I live). Condoms are easier to find cheaper or free and different varieties...plus there's always Plan B.

omg, one of my famous family stories involves this (not what you think!). I developed breasts very young, so my mom bought me all sorts of "what is happening to my body" and puberty-related books, and said "if you ever have any questions you can always talk to me." a few weeks later, mind you I'm like, 11 or 12 years old, I walk in my mom's room and ask, "Mommy, how does the female condom work?" her physical reaction is the best part of this story which sadly does not translate online :)

The University of Maryland announced this morning that it would lift the restrictions placed on quarterback Danny O'Brien, offensive lineman Max Garcia and linebacker Mario Rowson, allowing them to transfer to any program. Under NCAA rules, a school can restrict any player attempting to transfer to another NCAA program.
According to The Washington Post, O'Brien and Garcia both met with head coach Randy Edsall this morning in a brief meeting during which Edsall informed the two of their unconditional release.
Not discussed in their meeting, apparently, was the complaint that Maryland filed with the ACC and SEC questioning whether Vanderbilt, and specifically former Terps offensive coordinator and current Vanderbilt coach James Franklin, had improper contact with their players.
Aside from Vanderbilt, numerous unnamed programs have expressed interest in O'Brien, who is expected to make at least three official visits this weekend.

Style essentials. Let's break it down here, I'm not talking about the cute trendy clothes we buy, I'm talking about the bare necessities. The items you must have in your closet at all times, the things you pack first in your suitcase if you are going away for a few days. Items that really make you feel like yourself. Here are some items I have in my closet all the time, I can't live without them.
Long Cardigans
I don't know what it is about long cardigans or "grandpa sweaters", but I love them. When it's cold I grab for these sweaters first. I have these sweaters in all the basic colors, black, grey, brown, cream. I love how they go with almost anything and I always feel safe and comfy when I'm wearing one.
Black Converse "Chucks"
I have been wearing Chucks for as long as I can remember. They are essential and actually look good with almost any outfit. You can wear them with shorts, jeans, skirts, even casual dresses, regardless they always look cool. I love my stilettos and wedges but Chucks have a special place in my heart.
Vintage Jewelry or "Vintage Like"
I love vintage earrings and necklaces. They dress up any outfit and don't look overly "bling" which tends to scare me. I have a small collection of vintage earrings and a huge collection of vintage like necklaces. I love anything with owls or fish on it.
Knock em' dead lipstick or lip gloss
Every girl needs to have a knock em' dead lipstick or lip gloss in their bag. I personally love a good hot pink or red lipstick. A bold lipstick or lip gloss color can turn any day time look into a night time look. Plus you never know who you will meet and ladies you should always be ready to knock em' dead!
Black Liquid Liner
I am a liquid liner fiend. This is not a secret and I am not ashamed. I have always loved black liner and will always love black liner. It is apart of me and I will never part with it.
Statement Handbag
I may not like paying an obscene amount of money on jeans and clothes, but I am totally fine with dropping a whole paycheck on a purse I love, call me crazy I don't care. Whether it's a beautiful Chanel or even those Forever21 bags, if it makes a statement you need it in your life.
Skinny Jeans
I was against the whole skinny jean movement when they first started becoming popular. I searched stores wondering what happened to regular jeans. But once I embraced the skinny jean I realized how versatile they were. Now I always have a good pair of skinny jeans in my closet. They look cute with my heels, my flats, and most important they look cute with my chucks.
This is self explanatory, every girl should carry sunglasses. I had laser surgery on my eyes years and years ago and ever since then I realized how important it is to take care of your eyes. I have always been a little sensitive to light but after the amount of money I spent on my eyes I treat them like precious diamonds. Plus sunglasses are also great for those mornings when I haven't had my coffee yet.
Basic Tees
Basic tees are fun and come in a variety of colors. Some days I don't want to overly think about 'what to wear' so I throw on jeans and a basic tee. I have them in every color and sometimes even layer them for fun.
So ladies, what items are apart of your style essential list?

Jake Stewart hit a three-run homer, but the West Michigan Whitecaps lost to the Great Lakes Loons 9-7 on Friday.
West Michigan fell to 1-1 in the second half of the Midwest League schedule.
The West Michigan Whitecaps battled back from a 5-0 deficit to hold a brief lead on Friday, but their second comeback bid of the night ended with the bases loaded in the ninth inning of a 9-7 loss to the Great Lakes Loons at Dow Diamond.
Corey Seager went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs and six RBI to lead the Great Lakes (1-1, 28-44) offense, but it was a costly error by West Michigan (1-1, 34-38) in the bottom of the seventh that ultimately allowed the game-winning runs to score.
The Whitecaps overcame a 5-0 deficit to take a 7-6 lead in the top of the seventh, but the Loons plated three unearned runs in the bottom of the frame to regain control.
The bases were empty when Logan Ehlers issued a two-out walk to Jeremy Rathjen, who went on to steal second base. Ehlers responded by inducing a bouncing ball to the left side of the infield that looked like it would end the inning, but third baseman Jason King fired a wide throw to first as Rathjen scored the game-tying run and the batter ended up at second. After an intentional walk to the dangerous Tyler Ogle, Seager capped his big night by splitting the gap in left-center for a two-run double.
The 9-7 advantage stood up despite the Whitecaps' last-gasp threat in the top of the ninth. Danry Vasquez led off with a double and the 'Caps used walks to Devon Travis and Connor Harrell to load the bases, but King bounced out to end the game with the potential game-tying run in scoring position.
Great Lakes' Arismendy Ozoria (2-4) earned the win with one run over 2.1 innings, while Craig Stem (4) worked in and out of trouble in the ninth to convert the save. Ehlers (0-5) took the loss and was charged with a blown save for West Michigan, giving up three unearned runs on four hits over two innings of work.
Early on, the Loons' Robbie Garvey got the scoring started with a leadoff triple in the bottom of the first. He scored shortly thereafter when his attempt to steal home flustered pitcher Edgar De La Rosa into a balk. Seager then clubbed two-run homers in both the first and third innings to stake Great Lakes to a 5-0 advantage.
The Whitecaps got back into the game in the fourth, when a run-scoring triple by Jeff Holm and a three-run homer off the bat of Jake Stewart cut the deficit to 5-4.
It was 6-4 when the 'Caps tied the score with a pair of runs in the fifth. Jared Reaves and Travis notched back-to-back doubles, with Travis's two-base hit scoring Reaves to make it a one-run game. Two batters later, Harrell lined a base hit to right that plated Travis to even the game at 6-6.
Page 2 of 2 - West Michigan then took its only lead of the night in the top of the seventh when Reaves scampered home on a two-out wild pitch to make it 7-6.

Certain brands of carrot juice taste sweeter than any raw carrot I ever eaten, yet are made only of carrots, with no added sweeteners. Are carrots sold in supermarkets just not ripe?
If you juice your own carrots you would see how sweet your carrots actually are.
When you juice a carrot, you are extracting the liquid portion (which contains the majority of the sugars) from the cellulose. Since the cellulose is somewhat flavorless — it tastes pretty much like paper pulp — you are essentially creating "concentrated carrot" flavor, which is why it tastes so much sweeter than when you eat it whole.
Carrots have a high sugar content.

The intent of the Climate-Aquatics Blog is to provide a means for the field biologists, hydrologists, students, managers, and researchers to more broadly and rapidly discuss topical issues associated with aquatic ecosystems and climate change. Messages periodically posted to this blog will highlight peer-reviewed research and science tools that may be useful in addressing this global phenomenon. A forum for group discussions of these tools and new scientific findings has been set up as a Google Group (instructions for joining). Here, we've stored the text of the original Blog posts, supporting graphics, and peer-reviewed articles because the latter cannot be uploaded to the Google Group.
Many of the ideas for blog postings have their roots in studies conducted across the Rocky Mountain region of the western US, but attempts will be made to present topics & tools in ways that highlight their broader global relevance. Moreover, it is acknowledged that the studies, tools, and techniques highlighted in these missives are by no means the only, or perhaps even the best, science products in existence on particular topics, so the hope is that this discussion group engages others doing, or interested in, similar work and that healthy debates & information exchanges will occur to facilitate the rapid dissemination of knowledge among those most passionate about climate change and it's effects on aquatic ecosystems.

March 14 (Reuters) - Several environmental groups are suing the U.S. government to curb pollution of the Mississippi River with fertilizers and other contaminants blamed with creating a "dead zone" the size of Massachusetts in the Gulf of Mexico.
In separate federal lawsuits filed Tuesday, the groups asked judges to force the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to set base guidelines for state water quality standards and for wastewater treatment, both aimed at reducing pollution in the Mississippi River Basin.
The basin stretches from the Rocky Mountains in the west all the way to New York state in the east. It funnels water south through the agricultural heartland and industrial states to Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico.
Along the way, it gathers nitrogen that stimulates excessive algae growth in the dead zone from rainfall, runoff from farms and livestock production and wastewater treatment plants.
"The Mississippi River and the entire Gulf of Mexico has long been treated as the nation's sewer," Matt Rota, director of science and water policy for the Gulf Restoration Network told reporters at a news conference on Wednesday.
"Current efforts by the EPA and the Mississippi River states just simply are not enough," Rota said, describing the dead zone as "one of the many ongoing insults to the Gulf ecosystem."
The Gulf Restoration Network, the Natural Resources Defense Council and other groups said they filed the lawsuits after petitions to the EPA in 2007 for stronger wastewater treatment rules and in 2008 on water quality standards went unfulfilled.
The EPA, which denied the petition to set water quality standards for nutrients last year, said it was reviewing the lawsuits. It has not responded to the petition to update the wastewater treatment standards.
The EPA letter denying the petition said a comprehensive rule would not be the most effective way to address the "significant water quality problems facing our nation."
Glynnis Collins, executive director of the Illinois-based Prairie Rivers Network, said setting a target was critical. Only Minnesota and Wisconsin have adopted EPA steps to limit pollution that were recommended in 2000, she said.
Illinois is the largest source of nitrogen and phosphorous to the basin through runoff from industrial scale corn and soybean production and the massive wastewater treatment programs from the Chicago Metropolitan Water Reclamation District.
The pollution causes extensive damage well before the water reaches the Gulf, forcing some Illinois communities for example to install expensive treatment equipment or even pipe water from neighbors, Collins said.
The dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico stretches west toward Texas from the delta and is roughly the size of Massachusetts, Louisiana State University Professor Eugene Turner said. (Editing by Tim Gaynor)
