CBS announced Thursday that it will swap time slots for its Thursday-night comedy pairing, "Two and a Half Men" and "The Crazy Ones," beginning Feb. 27.
"Two and a Half Men" will move into the 9 p.m. time slot, while the Robin Williams-led "The Crazy Ones" will switch to the 9:30 p.m. spot.
Network execs made the change to provide "Two and a Half Men" with the bigger lead-in from the "Big Bang Theory" and "The Millers" combo in the 8 p.m. hour.
"The Crazy Ones" and "Two and a Half Men" had series low ratings on Feb. 6.
With its fate unknown, "The Crazy Ones" will finish its first season on April 17, in time for the midseason comedy "Bad Teacher," which is the TV version of the movie by the same name and stars Ari Graynor.
"Bad Teacher" will premiere in the 9:30 p.m. time slot on April 24.
Personal Take
"The Crazy Ones" got off to a great start back in September, but the quality of the show has declined since.
Williams' zaniness is still one of the show's strengths, but the supporting cast's presence no longer complements the proven star.
Sarah Michelle Gellar showed early on that she had comedic chops, but has since settled into tired and uncomfortable stabs at being funny.
Guest star Brad Williams gave the show a boost and would be a solid permanent addition, but he's only been in three episodes so far.
All is not lost for "The Crazy Ones," though; former Mork and Mindy co-star, Pam Dawber, is slated to appear in an upcoming episode. She would also make a nice permanent addition and is no stranger to working with Williams, though it was more than 30 years ago.
Overall, "The Crazy Ones" deserves a second season, but the network needs to add some proven comedic talent to balance Williams' strong presence.
"The Crazy Ones" returns Feb. 27 and will air Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. on KUTV in Provo.

College Hockey:Dearth Of Scoring Sparks St. Cloud State's Downfall
Mark Hartigan had the puck on his stick, the goal in his sights and nothing to stop him.
And the shot went wide.
Nothing could better sum up the St. Cloud State Huskies' finish this season than one breakaway in the game that sent them packing for the summer.
In the game and the season, they had the chances to get right back into the thick of things, but it just didn't happen. Hartigan's breakaway would have tied St. Cloud State's NCAA first-round game against Michigan in the third period, just as a timely goal in any number of places down the stretch would have set the Huskies' season straight.
No red lights; just red eyes. It left them scratching their heads, wondering where exactly things turned sour on them.
"You could arguably say that in March, we just weren't the same team," Huskies coach Craig Dahl said. "It's puzzling to all of us."
The thing that was most puzzling was the sudden dropoff in goal production. This is a team that, despite a fallout in scoring, can still call itself third in the nation in scoring offense. This is a team that was averaging more than five goals a game, tops in the nation, in early January.
Yet this is a team that could manage just four goals in its last three games — all losses. That's why the end came so suddenly for the Huskies: an unexpected collapse from a strong offense.
"The interesting thing is, we did the same types of practices this year as we did last year when we were going so good," Dahl said, calling on last year's WCHA playoff title run as evidence.
"We did the same things. I don't know why … they don't know why. For whatever reason, that plus our goaltenders were only about 88 percent [save percentage] that last month … all those things conspire to go against you."
The Huskies (29-11-2) were one win away from a second straight 30-win season. That they combined for 60 wins in the last two seasons is a testament to a strong program.
But the endings of those two seasons have been tough ways to enter the offseason. Michigan has knocked them out two years in a row, making them 0-4 all-time in the Division I NCAA tournament.
"When you look at the whole — 29-11-2 and the third year in a row in the NCAAs — it's certainly good," Dahl said. "The disappointing part was the lack of scoring at the end of the year. It had been so good all year long."
Hartigan, the WCHA player of the year and St. Cloud State's first finalist for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, is one of four players who won't be back next season. He's a junior, but he's expected to sign a pro contract soon.
He scored 75 points this season, but none in the Huskies' three-game, season-ending skid.
"He's such a great guy and he just felt terrible," Dahl said. "He felt like he had let the team down by not getting a point in the last three games. I really felt for him because he's such a good kid and he really wanted to do well. … Sometimes you hit a scoring slump at the wrong time of the year."
The Huskies will turn to a talented and decorated sophomore class to help fill the void. Three of the six players on the WCHA's all-rookie team were from St. Cloud: forwards Mike Doyle and Peter Szabo and defenseman Matt Gens.
That gives the Huskies hope for a return to the NCAA tournament next season, but it's no consolation right now for a team whose goals were dashed by a dearth of goals.

Daily Journal
TUPELO – Jim Murphree used to think two hours was too much to give.
The Tupelo man, who has been a regular blood donor since high school, would pass on requests to consider platelet donations during his regular trips to United Blood Services.
In 2012, friend Caleb Brand of Saltillo was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and needed platelets. Murphree was among the many who rolled up their sleeves and made time in his schedule to help Brand.
"What's two hours to help someone out," Murphree said. "People going through chemotherapy have to sit in a chair for six hours."
During his treatment, Brand needed multiple transfusions. He considers Murphree and the others who donated for him heroes.
"Without the donations, I wouldn't have been able to endure the chemotherapy to get into remission," Brand said. "People like Jim are really selfless."
Brand is now in remission, but Murphree still aims to carve out two hours a month from his duties overseeing the wholesale and warehouse operations at his family's business, The Cotton Bolt, to donate platelets.
"If you don't know someone with cancer now," Murphree said, "you will at some point."
Continuing need
United Blood Services needs more people like Murphree.
"Right now we're importing at least 50 units of platelets a week," said Rhonda Weaver, donor recruitment supervisor.
Platelets are especially challenging because they have a short shelf life – five days – and the demand for them is unpredictable, said Dr. Mark Huffman, medical director for the lab at North Mississippi Medical Center.
"You can't stockpile them for when you have an emergency," Huffman said.
Platelets are part of the body's clotting mechanism. In addition to closing cuts on the skin, platelets seal microscopic tears throughout the vascular system.
For cancer patients, chemotherapy slows the body's ability to make platelets in the bone marrow. If their platelet counts go low enough, they are at significant risk for minor trauma or even spontaneous bleeding.
Donated platelets are also life-savers for trauma and surgical patients who are losing a lot of blood. A car wreck with multiple patients and a ruptured aorta could wipe a hospital's supply out without warning.
"You never know when you're going to have a need for a large supply of platelets," Huffman said.
Donor requirements
The height and weight requirements to donate platelets are the same as they are for whole blood, Weaver said. Donors' platelet levels are checked to make sure they can safely give and to determine how much they can give.
During the platelet donation process, the blood is collected and spun in a centrifuge to separate the components. The red blood cells and plasma are returned to the donor, who can give again in two weeks.
It's a fairly easy process – the needle for platelet donation is smaller than the one for whole blood – and the two hours go by quickly, Murphree said.
"I usually sit and read the Daily Journal and catch up on sports," Murphree said.

I am going to hold off on making a final decision on the stem until my wheels are built.

I am thinking about getting blue nipples and silver spokes. I have a feeling that the Hope blue will be darker like the RaceFace blue and that it'll all balance out (at least I hope so!).

Yesterday was Palm Sunday. A Christian holiday known for long palm branches or leaves being carried through church and maybe laid on the floor. So what is Palm Sunday?
To keep it simple, Palm Sunday marks the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem that then leads up to his death on the cross and then his resurrection.
The capital city of Jerusalem was full to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Passover (when God graciously passed-over his chosen people and resulted in the Hebrews being released from slavery in Egypt). The people of this time were oppressed under Roman law and taxes. They cried out to Jesus to save them ("Hosanna"), to be their king, to rescue them. It was tradition to cover the streets when a person of high honor was traveling over them. It is written in the Gospels that palm leaves were laid down. They wanted to honor their king who would save them from the laws and taxes and burdens.
The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Hosanna in the highest!" Matthew 21:6-9
But Jesus came to fulfill God's plan. To save us from our sins. To release the burden of living apart from our Father for eternity. Jesus came into the city and spent his last days continuing to teach God's will.
When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples, "As you know, the Passover is two days away-and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified." Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, and they plotted to arrest Jesus in some sly way and kill him. "But not during the Feast," they said, "or there may be a riot among the people." Matthew 26:1-5
To borrow the invitation from our Sunday service, some palm branches were raised up and waved at Jesus as He entered while others were laid down on the ground. This triumphant entry was a symbolic moment that the kingdom of God had begun. Jesus came to save us from our sins and not from the kings of this world. Jesus became our King of Kings and Lord of Lords. What do we have in our lives that we need to either lift up in praise and wave to Jesus? What do we have in our lives that we need to cut down and lay at the feet of our Lord?

Buying a Grave
We appreciate that during this difficult time you will have to make important decisions about the cemetery and grave you want for the funeral
For information email: email@example.com
The following information may help you make your choice.
How do I buy a grave?
You are buying the right to bury in a grave, not the land. Normally, your funeral director will help to make the necessary arrangements for buying a grave. Some people may want to make their own arrangements at the time of the funeral. You can organise this by directly contacting us. We will be happy to advise you. If you would like to view the section of the cemetery where the burial is to take place, before the funeral, we will arrange for a member of staff to meet with you on the site.
How long can I buy the rights of a grave for?
In the cemeteries we manage, we offer several types of grave. The Exclusive Right of Burial is sold for 99 years. These are known as 'purchased graves'.
Who can buy the rights to a grave?
Anyone can buy the rights to a grave in the borough's cemeteries – however, people who live outside the borough will be asked to pay an extra fee.
When can burials take place?
Burials can take place on any weekday, except bank holidays, but no later than 3.30pm. (2.30pm from 1 November to 1 March) Arrangements can be made for Muslim burials. Please talk to your funeral director or contact us to discuss any specific needs.
What types of graves are available?
Some of the Councils cemeteries have sections where only certain types of headstone memorials are permitted once a funeral has taken place.
If you know what type of headstone memorial is required on a grave, then please discuss this with your funeral director before the funeral is arranged. Regardless of your wishes, once a funeral has taken place, the Council will not permit a headstone memorial that is not in keeping for a particular section.
Lawn Type Graves
Graves that are situated in the lawns area allow the grave owner to place a headstone, small vase, or cremated remains tablet on the grave, or it may be left unmarked. However they cannot place anything along the full length of the grave. After the burial has taken place, the grave will be levelled and will be grassed over.
The only memorials that will be permitted in this area are headstones or a simple flower vase. Cremated remains tablets, flat with the ground level will also be permitted. All memorials must be fitted by a Council approved stone mason.
Bedding plants or bulbs can be planted in the area directly in front of the headstone but must not exceed an area 3' 3" (1000mm) x 3' 3" (1000mm) and / or a flower container no more than 8" (20cm) squared can be placed within the area detailed above. Please do not plant shrubs or trees, or erect other structures or place any items including fencing, kerbings, wire fencing, windmills, raised or sunken footstones, solar lights, wind chimes, pots, balloons, any item made of pottery / tin / plastic / glass / bricks.
If items are found to prevent maintenance of the cemetery, the grave owner will be contacted and asked to remove them. If the items continue to impede access, unfortunately they will be removed by the Council. The aim is to be able to cut the grass and maintain the area without any restrictions or obstacles.
Kerbed Section Graves (Traditional)
Graves that are situated in the kerbed section allow the owner of the grave to put a full headstone and kerb surrounds along the full length of the grave.
Headstones and kerb surrounds must be fitted by a Council approved stone mason.
The area enclosed by the kerbing can be planted with small bedding plants or bulbs, or covered with flagstones and chippings or other items. No shrubs or trees are permitted to be planted within the kerbing.
Can I bury cremated remains in the cemeteries?
Yes, there are memorial gardens for cremated remains at each of our cemeteries except Hardwick Road. Cremated remains can also be placed in purchased graves.
Are all the graves on consecrated ground?
Most of our cemeteries have consecrated (blessed as sacred) and unconsecrated areas where you can buy graves. These areas are consecrated by the Church of England.
What is the difference between unpurchased and purchased graves?
Unpurchased grave
An unpurchased grave, sometimes known as a public or common grave, is where the right to burial cannot be bought and the Council has total control of the grave. The Council will decide who will be buried in the grave and this might not be members of the same family. Only unpurchased graves first used prior to 1985 may have the Rights purchased subsequently.
No memorial rights exist on public graves so no headstone or other memorial can be erected.
Purchased grave
A purchased grave is where the Right of Burial can be bought for a period of 99 years. Rights may be renewed at the end of this period.
The owner of the Right of Burial can decide who will be buried in the grave and memorials are allowed in line with our cemetery regulations.
How much will it cost?
Cemetery Charges
Cemetery Fees (1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017)
We know how important memorials are as a lasting symbol of remembrance.
We can offer advice and help to make sure that all memorials meet cemetery regulations.

Skinny's celebrates 10 years
Louise Bolger | Sun
From left, Clark Freeman, Janice "Grandma" Freeman and
Jan Freeman in front of their classic restaurant.
One of the reasons everyone loves the beach is its timeless quality changing daily, but never really changing. Just steps from one of Anna Maria's classic beaches is another classic, Skinny's Place in a building which looks exactly the same as the day it was built in 1952.
It's unlikely when Janice Freeman honeymooned on Anna Maria Island in 1936 she would have believed that she would still be here at age 95, or would she? The couple's love of the Island was so strong that they arranged their lives around it, splitting their time between two restaurants, one in Holmes Beach and one in Illinois.
The Mid-Island Drive In was built in 1952 and served as the Freeman's business and home for many years, until their decision to lease out the property when staying all winter conflicted with their other business and children's commitments. However, when it came time to retire, this is where Janice and Skinny Freeman returned, bringing with them their daughter and three grandchildren.
Ten years ago, after Skinny Freeman's death, the Freeman family decided it was time to honor Janice and Skinny Freeman's dream of reopening a restaurant in their original location and established Skinny's Place. Today one of their grandchildren, Clark Freeman, runs the restaurant with his mother Jan, their great staff and the support of his sisters and extended California family.
Skinny's Place hasn't changed much since Skinny Freeman's original Mid-Island Drive In opened its doors; it still has an open air beach vibe, outside tables, picnic benches and the ever present smell of the surf and sand. Old Florida, laid-back, toes in the sand whatever name you give it; Skinny's is one of a kind on Anna Maria.
The menu hasn't changed much either, with burgers called Skinny's and Mid-Island Pounder and chili called Grandma's Homemade. There are also chili cogs, corn dogs, chicken pieces, fries, onion rings and a kids' menu, but Skinny's is really all about the burgers. Beer and wine is available as well as soda, lemonade and other beverages. You can grab a table or eat at the bar where you will place your order, and bring cash no credit cards accepted.
To celebrate their 10 years as Skinny's Place there will be a party on Dec. 22 in Skinny's parking lot with a tent and music starting at 11 a.m. and running to 9 p.m. There will be prizes given away and you can get a burger outside. Bring along a chair if you're staying for the music.
The Freemans' goal is to keep Skinny's the way it was originally when the original Skinny fell in love with it. Clark Freeman says his grandmother still likes to tell stories about the early days on Anna Maria when this little piece of paradise didn't have much to offer except the sun, surf and timeless burgers.
We're comfortable with the familiar and are drawn to classics that represent a certain place in time. Skinny's Place is the quintessential Florida beach pub and for those of us who want to slow things down a little, it's simply classic.

Ch. 5 anchors for new Ch. 29 newscasts announced
WPTV-Ch. 5, the NBC affiliate in Palm Beach, has announced the news teams who will be seen when it begins producing newscasts for Fox affiliate WFLX-Ch. 29 in January.
WPTV replaces CBS affiliate WPEC-Ch. 12 as WFLX's news partner starting Jan 3.
Shannon Cake and Jay Cashmere, who anchor WPTV's 5 p.m. newscast, will take on addtional duties as the anchors of WFLX's weeknight 10 p.m. newscast. Steve Weagle will handle the weather forecasts.
WPTV's morning team, Roxannne Stein and John Favole, will anchor the news on WFLX at 7 and 8 a.m., while continuing their 4:30-7 a.m. show on Channel 5. Glenn Glazer will do the weather.
Tania Rogers will anchor the weekend 10 p.m. newscast with a partner yet to be named. James Wieland will forecast the weather.
WPEC will continue to produce WFLX's newscasts through the end of the year.
The change, after almost two decades, is not a negative reflection on WPEC, WFLX's John Spinola said. "They have been great. But we want to do what we feel will serve us best. Channel 5 has more of everything, a bigger staff, better facilities and they're adding to it."

'Benefit base' is key in annuity payouts
Your answer last month to CC in Vancouver, Wash., about taking $9,000 from his annuity for income confuses me. His adviser said that if he took more than 6 percent of his initial $112,000 investment, or $6,720, his annuity value would be reduced by the difference between the $9,000 he would take and the $6,720 he was allowed to take, or $2,820.

Former New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Willie Roaf is hoping to join Saints linebacker Rickey Jackson in the Hall of Fame. Roaf will be eligible for induction for the first time this year. FoxSports.com columnist Jason Whitlock, for one, believes he should get in. But he doesn't trust the selection committee to make that call on Saturday.

"General Hospital" fans love the way things are right now and hate the idea of actresses changing around on this soap opera. On Tuesday, Soaps in Depth shared some news about one of the actresses on the show. It looks like the actress that plays Sabrina might be leaving the show. This would mean Teresa Castillo would be leaving.
The show is looking for a new actress. They want someone who looks like they originally came from Mexico and is pursuing a career in medicine. In May, Teresa will be going on maternity leave from the show. They are wanting the new actress to come in about the exact same time. That could easily mean that they are replacing her. It is perfect timing and has fans wondering what is going on.
A source spoke out saying that it is a new character, but that doesn't mean that is true. You never know with these soap operas and they also will be trying to keep it a secret if they are planning to have Sabrina be recast. They do change actresses all the time. Teresa has been on Twitter talking about the baby and things but hasn't mentioned if she is leaving or not.
Teresa Castillo confirmed to fans that she is due on May 24. That means she won't be filming for very much longer and will be taking off for her maternity leave pretty soon. Spoilers already shared that this week she will find out what if she is having a girl or a boy on "GH."
Do not miss new episodes of "General Hospital." They air every weekday on ABC. This week will have a lot of big news about Sabrina and Patrick's new baby. He is trying to be involved and even going to doctor appoints with her. Don't miss it all play out.

Going on a hiking date? Or want to impress your regular trail buddies? Sahale Snacks are an upscale approach to trail mix. Available in about a dozen flavors, these convenient snacks combine nuts and dried fruits with an eye towards sustainability. Sahale Snacks prides itself on avoiding GMOs and using renewable energy in its snack production.
Sahale Snacks recently sent me a couple of flavors to try. The berry macaroon almond mix combines cashews, toasted coconut, almonds, dried blueberries and lemon-infused apples. Like many types of trail mix, it has some important nutrients but is also high in fat and sugar. A ¼ cup serving is 170 calories, including 2.5 g of saturated fat, 10 g of sugar, 4 g of protein, no trans fat, and negligible amounts of vitamins and minerals. Sodium is pretty low at 80 mg per serving. This mix is very heavy on almonds, and light on the lemon-infused apples, which we dug through the bag trying to find more of.
The raspberry crumble cashew mix includes peanuts, cashews, dried raspberries, dried cranberries and banana chips. Its nutritional profile is very similar to the berry macaroon mix, with, at 3 grams, an extra gram of dietary fiber thrown in.
More exotic flavors include pomegranate pistachio, which adds black pepper to the mix, and Valdosta pecans with orange zest.
Based in Seattle, this small company is already winning awards. They took home the Most Innovative New Product Award in the salty snacks category at the 2013 Sweets & Snacks Expo. In 2014, they won both the Grocery Headquarters Trailblazer Award and Food Processor of the Year award in the small firms category from Seattle Business magazine.
Sahale Snacks has wide distribution. In addition to natural food stores, you can find them in mainstream grocers and even 7-11s.

We suggest a glass of Stony Hill White Riesling as the perfect accompaniment to this deliciously decadent sandwich.
1/2 lb. fresh picked Dungeness Crabmeat2 tablespoons finely chopped celery2 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeno pepper2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions2 tablespoons mayonnaise2 tablespoons parmesan cheese1-1/2 teaspoons whole grain mustardSalt and pepper to taste2 tablespoons unsalted butter2 tablespoons olive oil1 loaf Sourdough, Whole Wheat Seed, Brioche, Focaccia or other firm textured bread
Place the crab meat in a sieve and rinse with cold water to get rid of the briny taste. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Place the crabmeat in a mixing bowl and add the celery, jalapeno, green onion, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Meyer lemon juice and salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly and refrigerate until you are ready to prepare the sandwiches.
We tried two different ways of cooking the sandwiches and liked them both. With the first, we placed the crab mixture between two pieces of bread, brushed the outer sides of the bread lightly with olive oil and grilled the sandwich until it was toasty and crisp. With the second method we sautéed the sandwich in butter, which adds richness but might not work for cholesterol watchers. Either method gives you a delicious, crispy texture. Makes up to four sandwiches.

The undead overload continues, this time with 2011's Zombie Apocalypse, a film collaboration by The Asylum and the Syfy Channel. This threadbare production, both in terms of script and special effects, nevertheless introduces a few new ideas to the zombie genre and is for the most part a solid popcorn-and-beer flick for horror fans.
Zombie Apocalypse opens with a summary of the outbreak, this time attributed to a virus known as VM2. Patient zero is in France, and soon most of Europe is infected, followed by Japan and the United States.
The bulk of the story centers on a group of survivors, all of whom seem to have come right out of a comic book. There's Henry (Ving Rhames)—the big guy with the sledge; Cassie (Lesley-Ann Brandt)—a thinly disguised Michonne, complete with katana blade; Julian (Johnny Pacar)—the kid who records everything in a diary; and Mack (Gary Weeks), the reluctant leader with a heat of gold. This team rescues Ramona (Taryn Manning) and Billie from a zombie attack that successfully does in their friend Kevin.
After some zombie killing and small talk, the new survivors learn that the group is trying to get to the island of Catalina, which remains zombie-free. Fighting through the zombie hordes and securing supplies, the group make it to what they believe is a safe-zone, only to find it overrun by zombies. As the survivors continue their fight against the zombies, they find signs that another group has also been battling the undead. Their signature: arrows.
The group finally encounters this second group, what is left of an archery team and their instructor. These "elves" hook up with the main group, all of them working hard to get to the ferry that could take them to Catalina. The group soon finds that the virus is not limited to humans, as they must do battle with a pair of infected zombie tigers when they finally make it to the docks. As more and more of the group fall, the survivors begin to lose hope. However, the film's finale shows that there is indeed hope, as there really is a ferry and its occupants blow the ferry's whistle to signal the weary survivors that they have at last been rescued.
Despite a threadbare script and lousy special effects, Zombie Apocalypse manages to entertain throughout its 87-minute running time. The principal reason for this is twofold: (1) the actors are all very good and (2) director Nick Lyon presents some good action sequences with plenty of comic-book flavor. Now, hardcore horror fans and zombie aficionados will find very little on here that they will enjoy, but those simply looking for a more simplified, less melodramatic and ironic-laden presentation will definitely relish this movie.
The cast is uniformly good, embracing each character's comic-book-driven biography and fleshing it out so that it comes off as somewhat believable. Melodrama is kept to a minimum, but even during such obligatory scenes that cast does well. Director Nick Lyon has a knack for fun action sequences, and it is during such moments that the film really comes to life. There's also kudos to writers Craig Engler and Brooks Peck, who give us fully fledged zombie animals and zombies who are actually cunning and even a little strategic.
However, there are plenty of directorial mistakes on display, including sequences that show care driving about in the background. Moreover, the special effects in Zombie Apocalypse are awful, particularly the digital effects. For example, the blood is too bright on the zombies, some of the zombies in the background look off or weirdly mutated, the machinegun when fired does not move (and the expended shells seem to float), and the blades are blurred.
One note: the uncut and unrated DVD of Zombie Apocalypse does contain some gore not seen on the release aired by the SyFy Channel.
Zombie Apocalypse is no Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead—it's also no Walking Dead. However, as a zombie fanatic, I found it enjoyable enough, which is saying a lot, given that there are so many zombie flicks out there that are either too dark, too ironic, or too negative to watch a second or third time.

FIFA World Cup™ finals history
Argentina have participated at 16 FIFA World Cups so far, putting them third on the competition's all-time appearance list. La Albiceleste have featured at every tournament since Mexico 1970 and graced the inaugural edition at Uruguay 1930, where they finished as runners-up. That was the first of the five Finals Argentina have reached; they were crowned champions as hosts in 1978 and at Mexico 1986, and took the silver medal at Italy 1990 and Brazil 2014, as well as going as far as the Second Round at Spain 1982.
The team
Lionel Messi has been the undisputed focal point of Argentina's national team for some time, although he is ably supported by an all-star cast including Javier Mascherano, Sergio Aguero, Carlos Tevez and Angel Di Maria. Argentina are one of the favourites to secure a place at Russia 2018, in part because of their history, but primarily because of their performances en route to the Final at Brazil 2014.
The coach
Even after taking Paraguay to South Africa 2010 and having been in charge of a club the size of Barcelona, Argentinian tactician Gerardo Martino is currently facing the biggest challenge of his career at the helm of a team expected to win every game. A low-key and pragmatic character, el Tata is shaping Argentina to be a proactive, attractive side as they go in search of success.
The stat
42 – The total number of World Cup victories Argentina have recorded, putting them fourth in the all-time list behind Brazil (70 wins), Germany (66) and Italy (45).
The former stars
Guillermo Stabile, Daniel Passarella, Mario Kempes, Ubaldo Fillol, Diego Maradona, Oscar Ruggeri, Jorge Burruchaga, Gabriel Batistuta, Diego Simeone, Javier Zanetti, Roberto Ayala, Hernan Crespo, Juan Riquelme

Cleaning it up
Tuesday, September 17, 2013
For the past 2 months I've really been struggling with losing weight. Don't get me wrong the first 70lbs were hard work too but for some reason no matter what I try the scale is moving down at a snails pace now. My workouts seem more difficult to get through despite being a fairly similar exertion level as before and trying to cook healthy has become an absolute chore. I still have about 70lbs to go before goal weight so why is my body rejecting my efforts and plateau-ing now?? It has really been getting under my skin and derailing my efforts.
Well I think my problem is that I lost focus, would let myself enjoy an extra ounce of pasta, and a few extra pretzels and another bite of that sweet treat, etc. It all adds up and yes I stay in my calorie range but really the calories I'm eating have decreased in nutritonal value and increased in processed junk! So perhaps the lesson is not to eat less but to eat smart. So I'm going to make a pledge to myself to start eating a cleaner diet, minimize the sugar and increase the vegetables (my arch nemesis). I read somewhere that diet was 80% of the battle in losing weight and exercise was the other 20%. So if I don't clean up the diet I'm only doing myself a disservice, slowing my own pace and poisoning my own body.
There is still that 20% however... what to do about exercise, which used to be a stress reliever and easy to get through but is now a cruel form of punishment. I'm hypothesizing that maybe the increase of processed food is making me more lethargic so I'm hoping that I will see my energy return in the next few weeks. But regardless I'm still going to push through those 40 minutes of cardio 4x a week. I have come too far to give up now, and I feel a million times better than I did 70 lbs ago so I can only imagine how amazing it will be in another 70.

I truly believe that I am in the boat with you Lianne! Even though I am running close to 25 miles a week, I think I use that as a reason to be able to indulge more so than I did in the beginning! This last 20 pounds as been a true challenge not that the first 100 were not, but these have been a struggle! Thanks for the reminder, We can do this we are diamonds!

Oh my gosh, Lianne! I am soooo guilty of the same thing - one pat of butter won't hurt? That package of M&Ms won't hurt - and on and on and on. By the end of the day I would add about six or seven "this little bit won't hurt!". At least you have recognized and recommitted yourself.
You have come so far - I KNOW you can make it the rest of the way!

Down by 14 points with only five minutes left to play, and trying to pull off a miracle comeback with guys injured, battered, and bruised, and also needing to do it while dealing with a team-wide month-long slump, the Saint Louis University men's basketball team found a way on Thursday, as it rallied to force overtime, then somehow outlasted North Carolina State in the extra session, for an 83-80 victory that will end the Wolfpack's season and send the Billikens to the third round of the NCAA Tournament for the third straight year.
Saint Louis, which came into the tournament as the No. 5 seed in the Midwest Region, despite having lost four of its previous five games, including a first round loss to St. Bonaventure in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament, trailed almost the entire game against 12th-seed N.C. State, but managed to pull off one of its greatest comebacks in program history, thanks to some faulty free throw shooting by the Wolfpack and some truly clutch, last-minute playmaking by the Billikens.
"We didn't want to end on that kind of note. We didn't want to bow out of the tournament this early," SLU senior Rob Loe said. "We're here to win, and we're here to put our mark on basketball."
And that's exactly what the Billikens did in rallying from a 59-45 deficit to tie the score at 70 at the end of regulation.
SLU instituted a strategic fouling plan that's being called the "Hack-a-Pack", which worked to perfection, as N.C. State missed 17 free throws in the game, including 12 in the final five minutes of regulation, while SLU, which had shot the ball poorly all night, finally found its touch, especially from long range, where Loe and fellow seniors
Dwayne Evans and Jake Barnett all hit clutch three's as the clock ticked down on the Billikens' season.
Evans' three made it 61-55 with 2:16 left, Loe hit his to make it 65-60 with 1:23 left, and Barnett splashed one home to make it 68-66 with only 48 seconds left.
Then after a couple more missed N.C. State free throws, Loe made a driving layup to pull the Billikens to within 69-68 with 35 seconds left.
N.C. State's T.J. Warren, who finished with a game-high 28 points, added a free throw, but also missed one as well to put the Wolfpack up 70-68 with 28 seconds left.
But SLU's Jordair Jett, the 2014 Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Year, made a sensational sprawling layup and drew the foul to tie the score and give the Billikens a chance to take the lead.
The senior from St. Paul, Minn., missed the free throw, but N.C. State's Tyler Lewis missed a shot at the buzzer that could've won the game for the Wolfpack.
In overtime, Loe scored six of his team-high 22 points to lead the Billikens, while N.C. State appeared to run out of gas, after having played in an opening round game in Dayton, Ohio on Tuesday.
SLU (27-6) will now play defending national champion Louisville (30-5) on Saturday, with the winner advancing to the
Sweet 16 next weekend in Indianapolis.
Tip-off from the Orlando Arena in Orlando, Fla., on Saturday is slated for 1:45 p.m.

Not long after she settled in Israel as a teen-ager, Noa (as she is known outside of Israel), rose as one of that country's hottest stars. She has a large following both in Israel and Europe for her distinct sound, which combines American, Yemenite and Israeli music traditions; rich voice; and Middle Eastern beauty.
It's rare that Israeli artists cross over to the tough American market, but Noa has already made some headway. A few years ago, she signed with Geffen, an American label. She has performed with various American artists, including Stevie Wonder. Just last month, she entertained President Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton at a White House reception.
Noa realizes that it is still a challenge to attain the same type of following in the United States that she enjoys in Europe and the Far East.
"[In Europe], they're not afraid of something they're not familiar with," Noa said in a recent telephone interview. "On the contrary, they're quite fascinated. In the U.S., they are more suspicious of something new."
To the American ear, Noa's music is only partially new, which may explain her ability to win over American audiences with more ease. In her concerts and albums, she can go from singing soothing Hebrew ballads, to songs she wrote in English, to her rendition of a Madonna or Beatles hit. She and longtime collaborator Gil Dor experiment with different styles that showcase Noa's vocal talents and eclectic background.
When she's not touring, Noa actively participates in Israeli life. She volunteers at various organizations, and, last week, she performed with many other top Israeli artists, including Rami Kleinstein and Aviv Geffen, at a concert held in Tel Aviv to raise funds for the crisis in Kosovo.
"People are very concerned in Israel," she said. "There's great awareness."
Noa is currently working on an international album and will tour more extensively once it's completed. Amid her studio and concert work, she's anxiously awaiting the Israeli election results. She hopes they will give her cause to celebrate, as she continues touring in June.
Noa will be performing at the Alex Theatre in Glendale on May 5. For tickets, call Telecharge (800) 233-3123.

Preventing Elder Financial Abuse Video and Toolkit
A recent study published by MetLife Mature Market Institute estimates that the financial loss by victims of elder financial crimes and exploitation is more than $2.9 billion a year with approximately 2 million seniors being exploited. Awareness of elder financial abuse is growing rapidly and bankers are often relied upon as the front line of defense in the protection of their customers, and as a provider of prevention education and information for elderly customers and their adult children.
As a trusted provider of elder abuse prevention programs in our nation's senior care facilities, people rely on the Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation as a resource for information on a wide range of issues both inside and outside of a traditional long-term care setting. Our knowledge of the older American population and their challenges led us to produce the "Preventing Elder Financial Abuse Video Toolkit" which now gives your bank the ability to educate your family, your friends, those in your social organizations and your community at large on how to look for signs of elder financial abuse and how to prevent it. The video information was adapted from the FDIC / CFPB Money Smart for Older Adults so you can rely on the information to be accurate and timely.
The toolkit includes:
- A 30 minute video in a DVD format
- Companion handouts filled with important information customizable for your bank's logo
- Customizable press release to let your community know the information you have to offer
The presentation is easy:
- Complete the easy-to-use press release and distribute it to your bank's media contacts Download Release
- Personalize and print the handouts for distribution at the event
- Make a brief introduction of yourself and your bank
- Show the video
- Answer questions at the end of the video
No need for note-taking because the important take-away information is contained in the handouts. Be sure to invite local law enforcement, a trusted attorney, a trusted financial advisor, and your local office of Adult Protective Services to attend the event to help answer specific questions during the Q & A.
You can be a hero for providing valuable financial education information to seniors in your community.
Order today. Toolkits will arrive USPS within a few days. If there is interest in more than ten copies, please call Lori Millar at 877-232-0859 for possible discounts.

Open Hand Theater was born out of Seedling Theater of Oneonta New York. Open Hand Theater began its journey in 1980. Its first steps were from a small Syracuse loft studio space in an abandoned warehouse area later to be known as the revitalized Armory Square. The theater moved to Plymouth Congregational Church in 1985 initiating the first of a series of collaborations in the Syracuse community and beyond that have helped set the theater on its current path. From its earliest days, Open Hand Theater has had a strong commitment to community involvement, education, social concerns and community development.
Early productions included the Imagination Celebration Parade, winter pageants downtown, and children's touring performances.
Uniquely the theater has worked with such diverse groups as the Onondaga Nation School, and the Skomorokh Theater of Siberia - touring Russia and the US with "A Midsummer Night's Dream".
In 1999 the theater opened the International Mask and Puppet Museum. The Museum, housed in a miniature castle built in 1890 is a unique center for performance and the puppetry arts.
Hand in Hand Youth Theater, Open Hand's children's theater program, was started in 1989, and provides training for young theater artists. In addition, the Theater conducts annual Summer Circus Camps as well as other vacation camps. Open Hand Theater's commitment to children in upstate New York is extensive. Its collaborations with the Syracuse City School District have brought a unique opportunity for a broad range of young people.
Open Hand Theater conducts innovative collaborations and partnerships. Past collaborations have included productions of "Sleeping Beauty" with Upstate New York Ballet, "Amahl and the Night Visitors" with Plymouth Congregational Church, performances with the Society for New Music, local artist Roger Bingham Morris, and unforgettable production of Mozart's "The Magic Flute" with Syracuse Opera. Most recently Open Hand Theater collaborated with Syracuse Stage, Imagining America, Syracuse University and four neighborhood organizations to create Art~in~Motion.
Awards that Open Hand Theater and its staff have received include:
Collaboration with the Skomorokh Theater of Tomsk, Siberia Russia; co-directors Roman Vinderman and Geoffrey Navias received the "Best Directors Award" from the International Puppet Theater Festival of Siberia and the Far East for the united production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
"People of Achievement" from Syracuse Newspapers
Peace Action Award
Award for "Service to Puppetry" from Northeast Region of Puppeteers of America
"Through their high quality exhibitions of puppets and masks from around the world, their presentation of performances by some of the top puppet companies in the U.S., their teaching and classes, and their outreach into the community they have brought an awareness of the world of puppets to central New York State."
The award for Service was presented at the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic Regional Festival of the Puppeteers of American, July 11-14, in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.
"Leadership in Community Development" (to Geoffrey Navias) from Onondaga Citizens League
"Inspiration in the Arts" (to Leslie Archer) from the Media Unit
"Horizon Award" (for "The Magic Flute," a collaboration with Syracuse Opera) from Cultural Resources Council of Onondaga County

On Tuesday, some 3,000 people were moved out of one of the largest buildings in Venezuela as part of the country's Great Housing Mission project. The unfinished building, originally called the Centro Financiero Confianzas when construction began in 1994, today has become known as the Torre de David or Tower of David, named after one of the building's biggest investors.
The building took on yet another nickname, "The World's Tallest Slum," when squatters began taking up residence on the building's 45 floors in 1994 after construction completely stopped at the hands of the Venezuelan banking crisis.
Evacuation of the structure began on Tuesday with police in riot gear guiding families out of the building that had no water, no elevator and was beyond maximum capacity into new apartments provided by the government.
Caracas has recently committed itself to redeveloping the city. The man in charge, Ernesto Villegas, had said that squatters shouldn't be allowed to live in the tower any longer for their own safety. He noted the lack of plumbing, the deaths of several children who have fallen and the lack of structural integrity of the building.
The building has been thought to harbor criminals alongside working families and has been a location to search when a kidnapping occurs.
However, the occupants, who were encouraged by president Hugo Chavez to take back unoccupied spaces, do have fond memories of their self-made home. Between the residents, they divided up patrol duties, cleaning duties and arranged for community activities. Residents called it a model commune and stated it was actually a refuge from the barrios.
Moving so far out of the city does bring worry to some families, who may not be able to have the same access to food and jobs in their new government-provided houses 23 miles outside of the city.
Once the occupants have been completely removed, there are no plans just yet for the building, but The Wire reports that Chinese bankers may be interested in rehabbing the tower and occupying it.
An AP report noted that many occupants opened up their own shops and stores in these spaces. Would it have been a better idea for the country to have temporarily relocated these families, rehabbed the tower to be a residential/retail building and then invited the families back to continue running local businesses?

On an unusually warmish December night the NY "Did You Hear About the Morgans" premiere got under way at the Ziegfeld Theater in midtown after much fanfare.
This being a Sarah Jessica Parker (and Hugh Grant) flick, the photo brigade came out in full force. Some 60+ in total. Of course this was largely due to SJP being associated as a fashionista.
But apparantly the stylist portion of her brain went on holiday. (More like Patricia Field wasn't hired on this film so she wasn't doing the duty.) Cuz girl showed up wearing basic black. Fashionable? Yes. Sellable? Not really. Just imagine the deafening grunts of disappointment. The sighs ran the entire photo stop and repeat area.
But what can you do… Even diva's need a moment to keep it simple and dress it down – I reckon.
As for me, Hugh Grant smiling my way eased the disappointment of his costar lackluster ensemble choice. But I'm easy…
The film opens in theaters on December 18th.

I am the oldest of three sisters. We grew up in three-bedroom houses though, which meant that two of us had to share a room at any given point in time. I can't tell you how many teenage arguments and tears were shed in the decision of who got her own room. It changed over time, and eventually we each got the opportunity to have our own room at one point or another. It usually depending on which two girls were arguing the most… Mom figured that we'd have to learn to get along if we shared a room. (It worked! 25 years later and we are still each other's best friends.)
Today, my own family of five lives in a modest three-bedroom home. One son, two daughters. Guess who gets to share a room?
Well, some days the baby likes it better than others. 😉
Lila is four, and Charlotte is almost one. So at first, it was a challenge for me to think of ways to accommodate them both. We have tried out several different configurations, and have been inspired by so many beautiful rooms and clever ideas. We are still rearranging and evolving their space, adding a few things to the walls, and rearranging the play area on the other side of their room. We hope to have it finished up before preschool starts for Lila (and before Charlotte's first birthday). All of which is happening in the next few weeks.
For now, here is our girls' room… just a little peek during nap time.
It works for us because…
- Lila adores her baby sister. And Charlotte loves Lila too (except for when she's squishing her).
- They both listen to white noise throughout the night. This does double-duty by soothing them at bedtime and also masking the sounds of tossing, turning, and midnight trips to the bathroom for the four-year-old. The baby sleeps all night, thankfully, so we haven't heard Lila complain about the baby keeping her awake so far.
- Lila doesn't mind sharing any of her toys with the baby, and she's very good about keeping the toys with smaller-sized pieces stored very high, out of Charlotte's reach. Books, dolls, stuffed animals and dress-up costumes can all be safely shared by both girls. The room is baby-proofed with Charlotte in mind, however. (I usually tie back the canopy over the crib during bedtime, but I left it down for the sake of today's photo.)
- The color scheme meshes well. By sticking with calming neutrals, I can mix an antique white headboard with the espresso crib, and natural linen duvets with white ruffled blankets. The girls' bedding is different — Charlotte only has a white crib sheet at this point, while Lila's bed is covered in thin, lightweight layers. But overall, the room is balanced, it incorporates lots of wonderful texture and has a consistent aesthetic.
Just for fun, here are a few favorite shared spaces from across the internet that I thought I'd share with you. Of course, you can see more of my favorite shared spaces on my Pinterest board.
via Little Green Notebook (I remember this room being featured in Domino magazine years ago!)
What about you? Do your children share a space? What tricks have you found that make it work for your family? I'd love to hear from other mamas who have conquered room-sharing!

Florida Marlins: Calls from the Hall?
Hope 2010 is off to a great start for everyone. Had a little time off around the holidays during what is typically a dead period for baseball. Have since re-engaged with some Orange Bowl coverage. The baseball news should start churning out at a better clip.
It's been a relatively quiet offseason for the Marlins, but that could change pretty quickly as special assistant Andre Dawson will find out Wednesday whether he'll get a long overdue bust in the Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, Sun Sentinel policy precludes me from casting a Hall ballot even though I've been eligible to vote the last two years. I'm working on getting that policy re-examined, but my hope is the Hawk will be in and won't need my vote come next year.
The Marlins have another staffer eligible for Hall induction. Radio play-by-play man Dave Van Horne is one of 10 finalists for the Ford C. Frick Award,presented annually for excellence in baseball broadcasting. That announcement will come Feb. 1. The other finalists: Billy Berroa, Skip Caray, Tom Cheek, Jacques Doucet, Lanny Frattare, Graham McNamee, Jon Miller, Joe Nuxhall and Herb Score.
Stay tuned. Will be posting more regularly in the coming weeks. Arbitration-eligible players will start signing and we'll get a better sense of the Marlins' 2010 payroll. Also, now that Jason Bay is headed to the Mets and it appears Matt Holliday is staying put in St. Louis, I would imagine teams still in need of a right-handed power bat will revisit Dan Uggla.

CES: Cisco announces its Videoscape Unity streaming platform
System aims to revolutionise television services
LAS VEGAS: NETWORKING VENDOR Cisco is pitching television carriers on a platform that will overhaul the way premium content and video streaming services are provided.
The company said that its Videoscape Unity scheme will allow carriers to provide a richer experience to customers.
Designed as a middleware platform, Videoscape Unity will include traditional broadcast television content as well as on-demand and streaming services for both set-top boxes and portable handsets and tablets.
"It is important to recognise how technology is going to change in the future, the internet of everything is enabling capabilities that have never been possible," said Cisco SVP of video and collaboration Marthin De Beer.
"Increasingly it is going to be about how carriers deliver those experiences that will differentiate them."
The company said that the system will include interfaces and development tools that will allow for new programme browsing and media streaming environments. The interfaces, which can be customised by carriers, will include environments such as channel tiles that stream live video or media and archive library files.
In addition to set-top and streaming media, Videoscape Unity will offer tablet and smartphone integration. Users will be able to use a tablet or smartphone as a controller or supplemental screen for the television, or connect directly with the TV environment and integrate features such as calendars, notifications and social media data.
The service is part of a larger video push from Cisco. The company outlined its Visionscape system in 2011 as an all-inclusive approach for streaming and sharing video content across the mobile, PC and television set environments.
De Beer said that the effort received a significant push last year when Cisco closed its acquisition of NDS, a move that De Beer believes moved the project forward by two to three years.
"It is hard to believe that it was only two years ago we were here to announce a vision and strategy of what we called Videoscape," he said. "Over the last couple of years not only have we built solutions, but we have made a major acquisition."

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
Stock with Teen titles and keep away from Anal titles.
For a video that claims to be all about ass, it's remarkably light on anal sex. Viewers looking for "ass-filled" scenes, as described on the box cover, will be disappointed to find that not one ass gets filled in this production.
Nevertheless, Director Rick Davis does focus plenty of camera time prior to the hardcore on each girl's derrière. And two bums in particular stand out. The first belongs to Jordan Haze who begins her scene with her face planted down on the carpet and her ass sticking high in the air. Jordan waits patiently in that position like a submissive sex toy until John West attacks her. When he does, the chemistry between these two is evident.
Plump Cherry Lane has a round jelly butt worth noting, too, especially as it hangs out of her tiny micro miniskirt. Too bad she's the only true bubble butt of the bunch.

Iowa Governor Chet Culver recently returned from a surprise visit to Iraq, and already, he's having to defend his decision to go there. Some Republicans questioned whether Culver's trip was more about politics than the military.
However, Culver said on Tuesday, that as Commander-in-Chief of the Iowa National Guard, many units of which are currently serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom, it is his duty and responsibility to visit the troops. "I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Iowa National Guard, and I have a duty and obligation to do all I can to support our troops. As far as I'm concerned, that means being on the ground with them in combat." Culver was speaking Tuesday at a news conference, urging lawmakers to support a new measure offering unemployment benefits to people who must quit their jobs when a spouse is deployed by the military.
Gov. Culver also honored Capt. Daniel Whitten, a Johnston High School graduate who was killed in Afghanistan last month.
Culver's trip has also drawn criticism from his newest Democratic challenger, former Des Moines School Board member Jonathan Narcisse. Narcisse stated that "the Governor ought to be here, leading those issues, and not looking for photo opportunities for his political campaign." Narcisse joined the race while Governor Culver was visiting the troops in Iraq.
Governor Culver declined to say whether he would debate Narcisse before the Democratic primary, saying he would wait to see if Narcisse obtained the required number of signatures to qualify to appear on the primary ballot.

Every product that's man-made will find its value being eroded over time but jewelry is an exception to this. But jewelry itself is a term that is so widely used and so extensively abused in many instances. I recall how jewelry pieces were so highly regarded because they're created of such high quallity stuff as diamond, silver and gold. But today, many forms of imitation have been invented and one good example is an elephant necklace. I am poor and I'm not a professional jeweler but I still do not consider those low-cost replicas to be real jewelry. The quality of these low-cost jewelries are so low that I actually don't consider them worthy of a space in the finest jewelry drawer I have at home. I'd like to share a few interesting things about jewelry which should interest you if you're enthusiastic about your jewelry.
From yellow gold to white gold. From black to pink diamond. From platinum to sterling silver. Numerous substances have now been applied to make jewelry. The more limited the supply of a stuff means the more expensive will the cost of the jewelry be. Yet, style and price shouldn't be the exclusive considerations when you are making your jewelry purchase. Some people have more sensitive skin than many others and this is something which should not taken. For people with sensitive skin, such factor will be important when they are looking for say the best earrings for sensitive ears. For people with sensitive ears, there are particular earrings that will be stylish but they still must avoid them simply because those earrings can't be used after the purchase and will cause undesireable effect.
One of the largest section of the retail business has to be fashion jewelry. Online shopping is increasingly popular particularly among the millenial generation who does a good deal of their jewelry shopping online. There are obviously certain groups of people that are still not comfortable with online shopping but for those people who are savvy enough, they could generally find better deals online than in conventional jewelry stores that are physical. It is not unusual for exactly the same diamond elephant necklace that is selling for hundreds of dollars in traditional brick-and-mortar jewelry retailers to be sold online for just half the price. Jewelry armoire is just another example where the economy can be very large and best of all, you really do not need to be concerned about the transportation cost when you make your jewelry armoire purchase online as they'll generally have delivery.
You can likely see my obsession about jewelry and there is so much matters we can discuss about. Nothing can prevent me from going on and on but I'll stop here for now. Don't forget to inquire the meaning of the elephant necklace the next time you see someone or a buddy of yours wearing it. They I cannot agree more with people who say that jewelry is a woman's best friend and I 'd do all I could to shield my jewelry investment. I recommend that you just go through all the jewelry storage ideas and decide one that best meet your demand. Even the top-rated jewelry cabinet might not be the best fit for you, while it'll certainly keep your jewelry safe and organized. But having said that, for those who are in possession of a sizable jewelry range, it can be worth it to get yourself the top-rated jewelry armoire regardless how pricey it can be.
