Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
The Cubs managed only six hits while committing six errors in the field, as the EXST Angels defeated the EXST Cubs 4-1 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa this morning.
Considered by most observers to be the Cubs #3 best pitching prospect coming into the season, RHP Chris Carpenter made his first appearance of the year after nursing a sore shoulder throughout Minor League Camp and after starting the 2010 regular season on the AA Tennessee Smokies 7-day DL. Carpenter was the Cubs 3rd round pick in 2008 out of Kent State, and went a combined 6-7 with a 2.82 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP and 52/118 BB/K in 130.2 IP at Peoria/Daytona/Tennessee in 2009.
Carpenter got through the top of the 1st inning, stranding a runner at 3rd by getting a strikeout (swinging) and a 5-3 ground out to end the inning. But the Angels scored in the top of the 2nd, thanks to a lead-off triple and a one-out RBI single. Carpenter was pulled after getting a strikeout for the 2nd out of the inning. For the day, Carpenter threw 36 pitches (23 strikes) in 1.2 IP, allowing just the one run (and it was earned) on three hits (two singles and a triple), with three strikeouts (one swinging and two looking) and no walks. Carpenter did throw a Wild Pitch, and he also committed a throwing error while trying to pick a runner of 1st base.
AA Tennessee 1B-OF Matt Spencer (at Extended Spring Training while rehabbing from a broken toe suffered in Minor League Camp last month) got nine ABs in today's game, leading off each inning. He reached base twice, once on a double leading off the bottom of the 2nd inning (and he eventually scored what would be the Cubs only run of the day), and on a walk leading off the bottom of the 8th. When a player gets this many plate appearances in one game, it usually means he is nearing the end of his rehab assignment, so expect to see Spencer back in the Tennessee Smokies lineup very soon.
In addition to Carpenter getting into his first game of the season, 20-year old 6'4 260+ Venezuelan RHP Larry Suarez saw his first Extended Spring Training game action today, as did 19-year old 6'6 Taiwanese RHP Tzu-An Wang. Suarez relieved Carpenter and allowed one hit but no runs, and after retiring the side 1-2-3 on just 10 pitches in his first inning of work, Wang allowed two unearned runs on two hits and a walk in his second inning. (NOTE: There is another pitcher from Taiwan named Yao-Lin Wang at Cubs Extended Spring Training, but it's easy to tell the difference between the two Wangs because while Tzu-An is a lanky 6'6, Yao-Lin is a stocky 6'0).
It had to be discouraging for the Cubs coaches to watch the players get only six hits (including just one XBH) while committing six errors one day after "Camp Day," when hitting and fielding are practiced and drilled for several hours.
In EXST Cubs roster news, RHP David Patton completed his rehab assignment and was assigned to Daytona (and in fact he got into last night's D-Cubs game), and RHP Chris Huseby (the Cubs 2006 10th round pick who got "1st round money" to give up his scholarship at Auburn) has arrived at Extended Spring Training from Daytona after struggling with his control. He had a similar problem in 2008 (17 walks in just 15 IP at Mesa), but it appeared that he had overcome it after allowing only 10 walks in 54 IP (while striking out 73 and saving 18 games) at Peoria last season.
Here is today's abridged box score (EXST Cubs players only):
NOTE: DH #1 Matt Spencer led-off all nine innings, getting nine plate appearances total in the game.

WEATHER: Overcast with temperatures in the 70's
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
I would actually pay money for him to have a better career than his namesake.
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
Az Phil, glad to see Carpenter back on the mound. Did he look sound? Also , how about our boy Larry Suarez? Has Huseby reverted back to a wildman again?
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
Nice to see our Pacific Rim scouting department bringing in more players. I got to watch a game in Taiwan once, and the baseball was pretty good, I'd say maybe AA talent but major league polished, and there were a couple of guys who "looked" like major leaguers. Chia Chia was one them, can't remember the other guy - a reliever.
http://taiwanbaseball.blogspot.com/ has a bit of USA oriented baseball news if anyone is curious.
Here's a blurb on the signing of Yao-Lin
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
I read this morning that the Angels Mike Napoli is unhappy with his playing time and the Angels may be interested in moving him. I can't claim to know much about Napoli other than that he appears to be a hit first/defense second kind of catcher. But it got me thinking about Geovany Soto and his future with the Cubs.
As I recall, Soto had a less than stellar minor league career, but it was good enough to get him some ABs in the big leagues. He impressed and got the starting job in 2008. A very good 2008 then lead to a crappy 2009, leading some people to question who the real Soto is. So far in 2010, it's looking like the 2009 version of Geo is the real Soto (although it is still very early).
So my question is, what is Soto's future with the Cubs? Should they be looking for an alternative? How long do the Cubs string him along until they finally cut bait?
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
Soto won the PCL MVP the year before he won the NL RoY, he's got a .430 OBP, I don't think I'd want to trade him for Mike Napoli.
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
Soto's actually hitting the ball very well and taking a ton of walks. His line drive % is 35.7 right now, but his BABIP is .231. That's bad luck in a small sample size. Is he going to continue to hit line drives 35% of the time? No. But he's not going to continue to hit the ball right at people for his whole career either.
You can attribute most of Soto's 2009 to a couple of things: 1. A dropoff in power (perhaps due to the hand injury and the extra weight?), which is illustrated by his lower HR/Fly Ball rate, down from 14.7 to to 10.3%.
2. And bad luck. His line drive rate dropped only from 21.0% to 18.1%, so, yeah, you'd expect a slightly lower BABIP, but his BABIP actually dropped from .332 to .243. That's a .089 difference. His K% actually went down in 2009 and his BB% went up slightly.
We haven't really established a career average BABIP for Soto because his 2007 was clearly very high and only 60 plate appearances and he 2009 was clearly very low. At .332 it seems fair to say that his 2008 was somewhat lucky, but not off the charts lucky.
Soto is not likely to hit for high batting averages based on his current numbers--his 2008 average of .285 will likely be near the best of his career--but his plate discipline and power might improve a bit with experience. A catcher who is likely to put up a .270/.370/.470 line is hardly expendable, even if he's a below average throw 'em out guy (also, people raved about his receiving skills in 2008, as I recall).
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
Charlie -- That was great info. Thanks!
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
Some more info: Soto is hitting .273 .448 .455 going into this at bat in the bottom of the 9th.
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
I'm not a fan of offense-type catchers.
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
Yeah, that Joe Mauer guy is a real dog.
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
I would make an exception for Joe Mauer.
so much for that
same lineup as yesterday, took Lou two weeks to break the Colvin will get 2 starts rule.
Looks like they took in a hockey game last night
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
I had the same reaction to seeing the final score.

A spot on roster may of just opened for Lilly ,Gorzalany out of game
got hit in the shoulder.
Amazing fact: Oswald vs. Reds 23-1
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
bruised shoulder, doesn't sound serious
he is scheduled to pitch Thursday
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
soriano's 3rd error of the year...wow...this one didn't lead to runs at least.
Re: Carpenter Gets Rehab Start at Extended Spring Training
He's clearly psyching himself out now. He knows he sucks which makes him suck more.

Marhsall continues to channel Vida Blue. 12K's in 7 innings now.

Here are the ERAs for the last five starting pitchers:
At what point does the manager note it's not the "other pitcher"?
And why does he start Montero in the middle of a downturn?
Some perspective (mostly for my own benefit): Dan Straily beat MadBum 2-1 today as the Reds took 2 of 3 in SF. Giants are 2-9 since the break and their lead over LA is down to 2.5 games. So, yeah...baseball. It'll drive ya nuts.
McNutt / Archer didn't work out well for us.
The floor is more valuable than the ceiling. It's the same reason we drafted Kris Bryant instead of Jon Gray.
Apparently the Yankees had the choice of either Gleyber Torres or Eloy Jimenez in the Chapman deal, and they chose Torres.
Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.

I have this class in my infrastructure that suppose to return random image. It always returns same image. I have exactly same code used in different place on my website and it works. Any ideas?
This question is where I got the info for getting random value. I don't understand why it works on one place and not another though...
public static class Background
public static string Get()
photoBlogModelDataContext _db = new photoBlogModelDataContext();
var image = _db.Images.OrderBy(x => Guid.NewGuid()).FirstOrDefault();
return image.Small; // Always same value?
Same code on another page that works where I loop through my gallery and choose random image from it
<img src="@Url.Content("~/content/uploads/" + item.Images.OrderBy(x => Guid.NewGuid()).FirstOrDefault().Small)" alt="" />

Hey there,
I'm struggling with a multisite. All posts on the main site get blog/ in front of the url and there's no way to fix it. So I figured I use the sitewide tags plugin to post everything to a different blog. But when I click "populate posts" it only copies a part of my posts to the global posts blog... And another thing, I'm going to use posts on other blogs that I don't want to have appearing in this global posts blog. How can I change this?
Basically I want to have it like this:
Main site > All posts (but without blog/)
Sub site 1 > Posts that also appear on the main site BUT also posts that shouldn't appear on the main blog (and should also stay out of the loop).
Sub site 2 > Same story as Sub site 1.
So I have 3 post types:
1. General news that will appear only on the main site
2. Specific news that is posted on a sub site but also appears on the main site
3. Posts with custom meta fields that are to be used for something else, so should stay out of all loops.
Anyone know how to solve this one?

Via Make, Photozz decided to make his peripherals turn off when his screen saver goes on.
He created this with some solid state relays he got off Ebay that he had left over from his Christmas project. He is using software that works off the Printer pins created by Neil Fraser which appears to be written in VB 6. If someone would want to update this to .Net 2.0 (or .Net 3.0), you may want to look at the System.IO.Ports.SerialPort class.
Oops, something didn't work.

I love Megadeth!!! Dave Mustaine is a beast lol.
Megadeth has some good songs. I love Holy Wars… the Punishment Due and Hanger 18. Those songs are tight.
I like Marty Friedman a lot better than Dave. And as a person Dave is kind of a jerk. He said he hated Tom Morello because he wore a fancy suit to the Grammys
CS9023- are those the only megadeth songs youve ever heard?
Megadeth is cool however i find it wired that the person who started this was named after metallica's best album and I think we all know how much those to get along

When you think about it, horse racing gets something of a bad rap. It is known as the "Sport of Kings," but it would be a stretch to say that the reputation has held up well over the years.
Nowadays, people don't really think of royalty when they think of horse racing. It is more of a sport of excess, one defined and run by people of incredible wealth. They breed and run the horses, and the people of lesser wealth get to gamble on the outcome. In fact, one could argue that it is a sport that exists only for gambling purposes.
I actually think that those who would make this argument have a valid point, but I would also say that this is an argument that doesn't quite do horse racing justice. Once you get beyond the cloud of decadence that surrounds the sport, it is clear that there are other, much more wholesome forces at work.
These forces are very much on display in ESPN Films' new documentary, Charismatic, which debuts tonight on ESPN. It is the story of near-Triple Crown winner Charismatic and his jockey, Chris Antley.
As Steve Michaels, the film's director, puts it, Antley was a "washed-up, anorexic, recovering drug addict" jockey by the time the late 1990s rolled around, but legendary trainer D. Wayne Lukas gave him a shot by paring him with an unheralded colt.
That colt was Charismatic. With Antley on his back, Charismatic won the 1999 Kentucky Derby despite being a 31-1 longshot. A few weeks later, Antley and Charismatic won the Preakness Stakes. All they had to do was win the Belmont Stakes, and Charismatic would be the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978.
Not surprisingly, Charismatic had a lead in the Belmont Stakes, and it looked like the Triple Crown dream was going to be realized. That was when something broke, and Antley decided to slow Charismatic's pace. He then famously jumped off Charismatic and was shown cradling his leg in the middle of the track.
As it turned out, Charismatic's leg was broken in two places. By deciding to apply the brakes, Antley saved Charismatic's life. A little over a year later, Antley lost his own life after a drug overdose.
It's pretty easy to see why ESPN chose to turn this story into a documentary. It's a story that is a fine testament to the more human side of horse racing, which, oddly enough, involves a relationship between man and beast that exists in few other places, much less in few other sports.
In fact, this very relationship is what sets horse racing apart from other sports. Racing horses do get plenty of glory, but both horse and jockey are prone to being viewed as tools. A baseball player uses a bat, a NASCAR driver uses a car, a jockey uses a horse. The difference is that jockeys aren't widely respected as athletes. In the sports world, that means they may as well not be human.
The other difference is that it's impossible for a baseball player to have a relationship with his bat, and it's impossible for a driver to have a relationship with his car. Antley and Charismatic did have a relationship, and it was ultimately revealed to be a genuinely affectionate one.
In many ways, this is what defines their time together. Their wins at the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes may as well be secondary concerns.
So the next time you think of horse racing as a decadent sport, remember Charismatic and Chris Antley.

Migros Ticaret AS, Turkey's second-biggest grocer, said third-quarter profit was 91.3 million liras ($51 million), exceeding estimates, as the company aims to add 100 stores a year in the medium-term.
Net income compared with a loss of 30.2 million liras in the same period of 2010, Migros said in a statement to the Istanbul Stock Exchange after the market closed yesterday. The company was expected to earn 21 million liras, according to the average of nine analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Migros, owned by a private equity group led by BC Partners Ltd., foresees a double digit sales growth in 2011 and beyond and a gross profit margin of 25.5 percent to 26 percent this year, it said in a presentation on its website. The company's third-quarter sales rose 10 percent to 1.61 billion liras, with last year's data adjusted to exclude sales from Sok Marketler, a discount store chain Migros sold to Yildiz Holding AS of Turkey for 600 million liras in June, it said. The transaction was completed in August.
Migros will grow "organically through new store openings and inorganically whilst retaining a clear focus on profitability," it said in an e-mailed statement.
The company revised upward its forecast for the ratio of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization to sales, or Ebitda margin, to between 6.3 percent and 6.5 percent from 6 percent to 6.5 percent, it said in the presentation.
The grocer, which had 731 stores as of end-September, will have opened about 70 stores by the end of this year and gave a guidance of adding 100 stores a year in the medium-term, according to the presentation.
Net debt is expected to be around 1.6 billion liras at the end of this year, assuming a rate of 2.45 liras per euro, Migros said.
Moonlight Capital, a BC Partners-led group of investors, bought 97.8 percent of Migros in October 2008 for about $3.25 billion in Turkey's biggest-ever private equity investment.
Migros rose 1 percent to 15.65 liras at the 5:30 p.m. close of trade in Istanbul.

John Heilemann on Morning Joe: The Gingrich Effect in Swing States
Will Newt Gingrich's name on the ballot hurt Republican candidates in swing states?
John Heilemann visited the Morning Joe crew this morning to discuss new polls showing Newt Gingrich surging in primary states, and even slightly ahead of President Obama in some swing states. Although Gingrich's poll numbers look good right now, Heilemann said fellow Republicans should be concerned. If Gingrich wins the nomination, his name on the ballot could actually hurt moderate Republican candidates for House and Senate in not-so-deep red states. "You'd be doomed," Heilemann said. "He'd be a ten-point anvil around your neck."

I finished the main story missions last night. I was laughing so hard at some of the dialog that I was afraid that I would puke. I also felt very sad at times, realizing that the content in the game is too true-to-life.
However, I also loved how R* managed to roll over a decade of GTA games into a single amazingly-well-executed game. I loved all of the references to almost every single past GTA game -- especially those to San Andreas.
I just hope that if there is DLC, it contains more places (like more land masses and more interiors). Rockstar has been pretty bad about extending the playable area of such games, but this experience demands it.
In all, I'm blown away. What an amazing achievement in gaming.

Early December Is Time for Deals
If you're considering a winter getaway, the first two weeks of December are your best -- and cheapest -- bet.
Travel is typically much less expensive and crowded during this period because Thanksgiving travel is over, December holiday travel hasn't picked up yet and business travel tends to drop dramatically, travel experts say.
This allows for a rare triple threat of deals on airfare, hotels and car rentals. On airfare alone, you can save up to 25% the weeks of Nov. 28 and Dec. 3, compared with what you would spend the week of Christmas, according to search engine Bing Travel.
If you don't mind a cooler climate -- but not ski destinations -- there are big discounts in the Pacific Northwest, such as Seattle. Western Canada, specifically Vancouver and Calgary, will have good offers on airfare and hotels. Vancouver, for instance, is still facing vacancies in hotels built and renovated for the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Those looking to get away from the cold can find deals on all-inclusive packages -- typically including airfare, hotel, transportation, food and drinks -- to Jamaica, the Dominican Republic and Mexico, especially resort areas like Cancun, the Riviera Maya and Los Cabos. A round-trip flight between Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and Cancun and seven nights in a hotel from Dec. 5 to Dec. 12 was recently going for about $1,127 per person, according to travel site Orbitz.com. The price jumped to $2,102 for travel Dec. 26 to Jan. 2.
Though prices tend to drop universally during this period, rates for popular European cities like London and Paris, as well as large U.S. metropolitan areas, such as New York, Chicago and Dallas, may not slide as much because of consistent tourism with shopping and attractions, says Henry Harteveldt, a travel-industry analyst at Atmosphere Research, an industry and consumer research firm. You may still find good rates for weekday getaways in domestic cities, he says.
Cast a wide net when searching for deals, Mr. Harteveldt says. Check price-comparison websites such as Kayak.com and call airlines and hotels directly. In some cases, if there are a lot of vacancies you may get a better rate by going through a hotel directly.
Hilton Hotels & Resorts' site lets you search for prices on various check-in and departure dates. On Starwood Hotels HOT 0.45 % ' site, you can see different rates using various promotions, including AAA membership.
For airfare, set up alerts that let you know when fares to a specific place drop to a certain amount. Expedia.com, Airfarewatchdog.com and Kayak.com, as well as American Airlines' DealFinder online tool, have alerts.
If you plan to rent a car for at least seven days, look into a weekly package deal. Weekly rates are often up to 30% cheaper than daily rates, says Clem Bason, president of Hotwire Group, which owns travel websites.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
While there is no Greek life on campus, students joke that sometimes Simmons feels like a giant sorority. Years ago, there were rumors that a student was trying to start her own sorority, but her efforts were met with the general question "Why?" Simmons already possesses the closeness that a sorority might offer. Instead of sororities, student organizations seem to offer social niches. With more than 40 organizations, you are bound to find a group of girls with a common interest. Each dorm develops its own character, similar to other school's sororities. At the end of each year, there is even a field day known as Simmons Cup, where each dorm competes against one another for bragging rights. At one time, each dorm was assigned a fraternity partner from Northeastern or Boston College, but this tradition has since dissolved. Instead, the close proximity of Simmons to Boston's other colleges gives students access to Boston University and Northeastern fraternities.
A quick walk down Commonwealth Avenue on a weekend night is enough for a fraternity fix and has become almost an institution in the first-year student's list of experiences. Many fraternity party promoters often pass out fliers on the Residence Campus. Simmons used to have a rich tradition of alumna meeting their spouses at MIT mixers, but such organized activity no longer comes from the administration. Simmons traditions include events, like formals and field days, to make sure students aren't missing anything.

Students wanting to walk in a commencement ceremony before their actual graduation date must contact their College Dean's Office and receive permission.
Although students who participate in an early ceremony will cross the stage and have their name announced, they will not have their name in the commencement program. In addition, the student is responsible for understanding the attire and expectations of a commencement ceremony. All commencement ceremony information is available on the commencement page.
*Important - The approval to participate in an early ceremony does not fill the requirement of application to graduate. All students must apply for graduation and indicate the term in which all degree requirements (including terms of internship) are finished. The application to graduate indicates completion of degree requirements; early ceremony participation is usually a preceding term with college dean approval and notification to the Commencement Coordinator. Because there is a fee assessed with each application to graduate; do not apply for graduation with the term equal to early participation. A refund on application submitted for the wrong term of completion will not be granted. Students must apply for graduation for the term that all degree requirements are finished.

Pain Management Medication Types »
"Types (classes) of pain medication
Pain medications are drugs used to relieve discomfort associated with disease, injury, or surgery. Because the pain process is complex, there are many types of pain drugs that provide relief by acting "...
(butorphanol tartrate) Injection, USP
(butorphanol tartrate) Nasal Spray
Butorphanol tartrate is a synthetically derived opioid agonist-antagonist analgesic of the phenanthrene series. The chemical name is (-)-17-(cyclobutylmethyl) morphinan-3, 14-diol [S- (R*,R*)] - 2,3 - dihydroxybutanedioate (1:1) (salt). The molecular formula is C21H29NO2,C4H6O6 , which corresponds to a molecular weight of 477.55 and the following structural formula:
Butorphanol tartrate is a white crystalline substance. The dose is expressed as the tartrate salt. One milligram of the salt is equivalent to 0.68 mg of the free base. The n-octanol/aqueous buffer partition coefficient of butorphanol is 180:1 at pH 7.5.
STADOL (butorphanol tartrate) Injection, USP, is a sterile, parenteral, aqueous solution of butorphanol tartrate for intravenous or intramuscular administration. In addition to 1 or 2 mg of butorphanol tartrate, each mL of solution contains 3.3 mg of citric acid, 6.4 mg sodium citrate, and 6.4 mg sodium chloride, and 0.1 mg benzethonium chloride (in multiple dose vial only) as a preservative.
STADOL NS (butorphanol tartrate) Nasal Spray is an aqueous solution of butorphanol tartrate for administration as a metered spray to the nasal mucosa. Each bottle of STADOL NS contains 2.5 mL of a 10 mg/mL solution of butorphanol tartrate with sodium chloride, citric acid, and benzethonium chloride in purified water with sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid added to adjust the pH to 5.0. The pump reservoir must be fully primed (see PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS) prior to initial use. After initial priming each metered spray delivers an average of 1.0 mg of butorphanol tartrate and the 2.5-mL bottle will deliver an average of 14-15 doses of STADOL (butorphanol tartrate) NS. If not used for 48 hours or longer, the unit must be reprimed (see PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS). With intermittent use requiring repriming before each dose, the 2.5-mL bottle will deliver an average of 8-10 doses of STADOL (butorphanol tartrate) NS depending on how much repriming is necessary.
What are the possible side effects of butorphanol (Stadol)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Tell your caregivers at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- pounding, or uneven heartbeats;
- shallow breathing, slow heartbeat;
- cold, clammy skin;
- problems with urination;
- tremors;
- confusion, feeling like you are floating;
- feeling like you might pass out; or
- dangerously high blood pressure (severe headache, blurred vision, ringing in your...

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I wanted to get the opinion of others here. If Roman leaves for Penn St. or another HC job, would the Niners look at Chudzinski to fill the OC role? His work with the Panthers and Newton would closely mirror the situation here with Kaepernick - both are teams built around Defense and the running game and a QB who is more Athlete/thrower than pocket passer. By all accounts, Chud is a terrific guy to work with and an smart offensive mind. He also got a career year out of Derek Anderson when he was OC of the Browns in 07.
What do people think of Chud as OC?

"I was inspired by the close up baby face in the example. The card truly reflected the meaning of our first baby's baptism ❤"
"This card is beautiful on the stock card stock! I usually use the pearlescent papers, but didn't want the added cost this time around. So happy I left this design alone!"
"They are very professional. Excellent customer service. Very fast service. I wish it came in more colors. But, I am happy with finished product."
"No regrets buying the invitation at Tinyprints. It's cheap but the quality is not sacrificed. The free design review is a great addition to the service. I requested to verify that the photo resolution is good for printing, and the reviewer addressed it and assured me the photo is of excellent quality. The invitations arrived earlier than expected, and packed very well. No folds on the corners of the invitation and the envelopes. I love the product and the service I received."
"I love the way these invitations turned out! The quality is great, I love that I was able to personalize the text layout. All the different picture arrangements were awesome, I was able to find the perfect layout, and make this card exactly how I pictured it in my head. Everyone loved how they looked, a few people even framed the back of the card because the picture quality was so good. I am very happy and proud with how this product and will definitely be ordering cards from TinyPrints again"

Microphone Array Optimization for a Hearing Restoration Headset
Subjects wearing communications or hearing protection headsets lose the ability to localize sound accurately. Here we describe a hearing restoration headset designed to restore a user's natural hearing by processing signals from an array of microphones using a filter-and-sum technique and presenting the result to the user via the headset's speakers. The filters are designed using a phase compensation technique for mapping the microphone array manifolds (or directional transfer functions) onto the target HRTFs. To optimize the performance of the system, a 3-D numerical model of a KEMAR mannequin with headset was built and verified experimentally up to 12 KHz. The numerical model was used to optimize a three microphone array that demonstrated low reconstruction error up to 12 KHz.

For those of you who pay attention, you've probably noticed Jay Z uses the phrase "Been Trill" on his latest album in the song "Somewhere in America." He's kinda big, in case you missed pop culture since the 1990s. Of course whether he is referring to the brand or using an expression, I'll leave for the rap lyric interpretation pros to figure out.
Also Dimepiece, a new brand on the web site looks cool, with higher AUR's than I typically see at PacSun.
Well, 4 out of 5 men's latest Diamond X Been Trill shirts sold out online already. Not bad. It would seem ridiculous so many people appear short a stock that is selling brands that sell items out, while other companies have much higher market caps, but we shall see how this works out in the next few earnings announcements.
Looks like they released some more online inventory overnight, as those shirts are showing availability now.

To the Editor:—
I have been much interested in the discussion going on for some time about a substitute for talcum powder in operating room gloves.Why do we need any substitute? If gloves are dry and hands are dry, as they should be, and the gloves are the right size, any foreign material unnecessarily introduced into the field is an added danger. I have been wearing rubber gloves in the operating room for over forty years and have never used any kind of glove powder. In these days of constantly changing operating room nurses I have to be on the alert to escape the avalanche of talcum with which I am constantly threatened, but so far I have valiantly held my ground and have gone into the operating room with fingers that are cleaner and have a better tactile sense.This tendency to get rid of an evil thing

Company: Loaded Digital
Cast: Alex Rox, Dakota Cameron, Emma Red, Jenna Presley, Tiffany Taylor, Joe Rock, Gianna, Aaliyah Jolie, Kendra Allen, Carmella Bing, Lee Bang, Anthony Hardwood, Jason Cox, Rita Faltoyano, Luscious Lopez, Christie Lee, Jack Venice
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
An 11-girl, original oral compilation, OA4 is one of the better all-blowjob productions out there. Because of the performer variety (though all are white Americans, less Latinas Luscious Lopez and Carmella Bing), blow-comps usually offer rarely matched value; and, at two hours, this falls into that category.
Of the all-star cast, future superstar Jenna Presley excites with vigor enough to match Luscious? showcased, best-ever oral work; and Gianna's giant boobies make an appearance to match.
The widescreen feature, which you're prompted to select before the movie starts, is native. That means that, while you may watch the action in 4:3 fullscreen, this mode actually clips the sides off the footage and zooms in to compensate. Usually, of course, it's the other way around.
A 17-minute behind-the-scenes photo-shoot is all the more reason to buy.

Kittencal's Greek Feta Salad Dressing
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 24 hrs
Plan ahead this dressing has a 24 hour chilling time to blend the flavors, don't even think about serving this right away! this must be made on a food processor for the feta to combine properly --- the success of this dressing will highly depend on the quality of olive oil, oregano and feta cheese that you use I recommend purchasing those ingredients in a Greek grocery store --- cooking time is 24 hour refrigeration time ---- also see my highly-rated Kittencal's Famous Greek Salad --- and my mayonnaise-based Kittencal's Creamy Greek Feta Salad Dressing
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup olive oil (preferable extra virgin)
- 1 lemon, juice of, whole
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano (rubbed between fingers to release the flavors, do the same with the dried basil)
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3⁄4 teaspoon white salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (can use more)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1⁄4-1⁄3 cup coarsely crumbled feta cheese
- In a food processor combine the first 10 ingredients; process for about 10 seconds.
- Add in the feta cheese and continue to process until the cheese has combined (this may take about 12-15 seconds).
- Place in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Shake well before using.

This dressing had a great flavor but it came out very, very thick, like paste. I'm still using it but I have to glob it on instead of pouring it. Has anyone else had this issue?
We loved this! I've tried 2 other Mediterranean/Greek salad dressing recipes you have posted here, and I think this one is my favorite. I made it 7 hours before dinner, and it was still really great, so I'm excited to see what it will taste like after having the full 24 hours to chill! Thanks for another winner!
This salad dressing is tart and delicious, just the way I love it!! I did make it a couple of days before I served it on the salad, like Kitten says...it is very important to let the flavors blend before serving. My whole family loved. Thank you, Kittencal!

I like very much this plugin, I already started a league to test it, and I wonder if there is a way to introduce goal scorers at results page.
And, after all, maybe there is a way to have a top goal scorers.
Also I need to know if I can change table display, I want to put "points" column at the end of table ranking.
Thank you.

Washington Redskins cornerback Cedric Griffin will miss the rest of the National Football League's regular season after receiving a four-game ban for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.
Griffin's ban begins immediately and he will be eligible to return to Washington's active roster on December 31, a day after his team's regular-season finale against the Dallas Cowboys, the NFL said in a statement on Tuesday.
A second-round draft pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2006, Griffin started 14 of 16 games last season for the Vikings, but made only one start this season for Washington.
The 30-year-old Griffin was credited with 25 tackles and one forced fumble in nine games for the Redskins.
Washington (6-6) has won three consecutive games to move within one game of the National Football Conference East division-leading New York Giants.

In an interview they asked me if using function pointers would be beneficial (in terms of speed) when writing code for embedded systems? I had no idea on embedded system so could not answer the question. Just a cloudy or vague answer. So what are the real benefits? Speed, readability, maintenance,cost?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I think perhaps Viren Shakya's answer misses the point that the interviewer was trying to elicit. In some constructs the use of a function pointer may speed up execution. For example, if you have an index, using that to index an array of function pointers may be faster than a large switch.
If however you are comparing a static function call with a call through a pointer then Viren is right in pointing out that there is an additional operation to load the pointer variable. But no one reasonably tries to use a function pointer in that way (just as an alternative to calling directly).
Calling a function through a pointer is not an alternative to a direct call. So, the question of "advantage" is flawed; they are used in different circumstances, often to simplify other code logic and control flow and not to merely avoid a static function call. Their usefulness is in that the determination of the function to be called is performed dynamically at run-time by your code rather than statically by the linker. In that sense they are of course useful in embedded systems but not for any reason related to embedded systems specifically.
There are many uses.
The single-most important use of function pointers in embedded systems is to create vector tables. Many MCU architectures use a table of addresses located in NVM, where each address points to an ISR (interrupt service routine). Such a vector table can be written in C as an array of function pointers.
Function pointers are also useful for callback functions. As an example from the real world, the other day I was writing a driver for an on-chip realtime clock. There was only one clock on the chip, but I needed many timers. This was solved by saving a counter for each software timer, which was increased by the realtime clock interrupt. The data type looked something like this:
When the hardware timer were equal with the software timer, the callback function specified by the user was called, through the function pointer stored together with the counter. Something like the above is quite a common construct in embedded systems.
Function pointers are also useful when creating bootloaders etc, where you will be writing code into NVM in runtime and then call it. You can do this through a function pointer, but never through a linked function, as the code isn't actually there at link time.
Function pointers are of course, as already mentioned, useful for many optimizations, like optimizing away a switch statement where each "case" is an adjacent number.
Another thing to consider is that this question would be a good opportunity to demonstrate how you go about making design decisions during the development process. One response I could imagine giving would be turning around and considering what your implementation alternatives are. Taking a page from Casey's and Lundin's answers, I've found callback functions very useful in isolating my modules from each other and making code changes easier because my code is in a perpetual prototyping stage and things change quickly and often. What my current concerns are is ease of development, not so much speed.
In my case my code generally involves having multiple modules which need to signal each other to synchronize the order of operations. Previously I had implemented this as a whole slew of flags and data structures with extern linkage. With this implementation, two issues generally sucked up my time:
With callback functions that problem goes away because the function becomes the signalling mechanism and you take advantage of these benefits:
At the moment I'll take the performance hit as my device still performs adequately even with all the extra function calls. I'll consider my alternatives when that performance begins to become a bigger issue.
Going back to the interview question, even though you may not be as technically proficient in the nuts and bolts of function pointers, I would think you'd still be a valuable candidate knowing you're cognizant of the tradeoffs made during the design process.
You gain on speed but lose some on readability and maintenance. Instead of a if-then-else tree, if a then fun_a(), else if b then fun_b(), else if c then fun_c() else fun_default(), and having to do that every time, instead if a then fun=fun_a, else if b then fun=fun_b, etc and you do that one time, from then on just call fun(). Much faster. As pointed out you cannot inline, which is another speed trick but inlining on the if-then-else tree doesnt necessarily make it faster than without inlining and is generall not as fast as the function pointer.
You lose a little readability and maintenance because you have to figure out where fun() is set, how often it changes if ever, insure you dont call it before it is setup, but it is still a single searchable name you can use to find and maintain all the places it is used.
It is basically a speed trick to avoid if-then-else trees every time you want to perform a function. If performance is not critical, if nothing else fun() could be static and have the if-then-else tree in it.
EDIT Adding some examples to explain what I was talking about.
extern unsigned int fun1 ( unsigned int a, unsigned int b ); unsigned int (*funptr)(unsigned int, unsigned int); void have_fun ( unsigned int x, unsigned int y, unsigned int z ) { unsigned int j; funptr=fun1; j=fun1(z,5); j=funptr(y,6); }
Compiling gives this:
have_fun: stmfd sp!, {r3, r4, r5, lr} .save {r3, r4, r5, lr} ldr r4, .L2 mov r5, r1 mov r0, r2 mov r1, #5 ldr r2, .L2+4 str r2, [r4, #0] bl fun1 ldr r3, [r4, #0] mov r0, r5 mov r1, #6 blx r3 ldmfd sp!, {r3, r4, r5, pc}
What I assume Clifford was talking about is that a direct call, if near enough (depending on the architecture), is one instruction
bl fun1
Where a function pointer, is going to cost you at least two
ldr r3, [r4, #0] blx r3
I had also mentioned the difference between direct and indirect was the extra load you incur.
Before moving on it is worth mentioning the pros and cons of inlining. In the case of ARM which is what these examples are using, the calling convention uses r0-r3 for incoming parameters to a function and r0 to return. So entry into have_fun() with three parameters means r0-r3 have content. With ARM it is also assumed that a function can destroy r0-r3, so have_fun() needs to preserve the inputs and then place the two inputs to fun1() in r0 and r1, so a bit of a register dance happens.
mov r5, r1 mov r0, r2 mov r1, #5 ldr r2, .L2+4 str r2, [r4, #0] bl fun1
The compiler was smart enough to see that we never needed the first input to the have_fun() function, so r0 was discarded and allowed to be changed right away. Also the compiler was smart enough to know that we would never need the third parameter, z (r2), after sending it to fun1() on the first call, so it didnt need to save it in a high register. R1 though, the second parameter to have_fun() does need to be preserved so it is put in a regsiter that wont get destroyed by fun1().
You can see the same kind of thing happen for the second function call.
Assuming fun1() is this simple function:
inline unsigned int fun1 ( unsigned int a, unsigned int b ) { return(a+b); }
When you inline fun1() you get something like this:
stmfd sp!, {r4, lr} mov r0, r1 mov r1, #6 add r4, r2, #5
The compiler does not need to shuffle the lower registers about to prepare for a call. Likewise what you may have noticed is that r4 and lr are preserved on the stack when we enter hello_fun(). With this ARM calling convention a function can destroy r0-r3 but must preserve all the other registers, since have_fun() in this case needed more than four registers to do its thing it saved the contents of r4 on the stack so that it could use it. Likewise this function as I compiled it did call another function, the bl/blx instruction uses/destroys the lr register (r14) so in order for have_fun() to return we also have to preserve lr on the stack. The simplified example for fun1() did not show this but another savings you get from inlining is that on entry the function called does not have to set up a stack frame and preserve registers, it really is as if you took the code from the function and shoved it inline with the calling function.
Why wouldnt you inline all the time? Well first it can and will use more registers and that can lead to more stack use, and stack is slow relative to registers. Most important though is that it increases the size of your binary, if fun1() was a good sized function and you called it 20 times in have_fun() your binary would be considerably larger. For modern computers with gigabytes of ram, a few hundred or few dozen thousand bytes is no big deal, but for embedded with limited resources this can make or break you. On a modern gigahertz multicore desktop, how often do you need to shave an instruction or five anyway? Sometimes yes but not all the time for every function. So just because you probably can get away with it on a desktop you probably should not.
Back to function pointers. So the point I was trying to make with my answer is, what situations would you likely want to use a function pointer anyway, what are the use cases and in those use cases how much does it help or hurt?
The kinds of cases I was thinking of are plugins, or code specific to a calling parameter or generic code reacting to specific hardware detected. For example, a hypothetical tar program may want to output to a tape drive, file system, or other and you may choose to write the code with generic functions called using function pointers. Upon entry to the program the command line parameters indicate the output and at that point you set the function pointers to the device specific functions.
if(outdev==OUTDEV_TAPE) data_out=data_out_tape; else if(outdev==OUTDEV_FILE) { //open the file, etc data_out=data_out_file; } ...
Or perhaps you dont know if you are running on a processor with an fpu or which fpu type you have but you know that a floating point divide you want to do can run much faster using the fpu:
if(fputype==FPU_FPA) fdivide=fdivide_fpa; else if(fputype==FPU_VFP) fdivide=fdivide_vfp; else fdivide=fdivide_soft;
And absolutely you can use a case statement instead of an if-then-else tree, pros and cons to each, some compilers turn a case statement int an if-then-else tree anyway, so it doesnt always matter. The point I was trying to make is if you do this one time:
if(fputype==FPU_FPA) fdivide=fdivide_fpa; else if(fputype==FPU_VFP) fdivide=fdivide_vfp; else fdivide=fdivide_soft;
And do this every where else in the program:
Compared to a non-function-pointer alternative where you do this every where you want to divide:
if(fputype==FPU_FPA) a=fdivide_fpa(b,c); else if(fputype==FPU_VFP) a=fdivide_vfp(b,c); else a=fdivide_soft(b,c);
The function pointer approach, even though it costs you an extra ldr on each call, is a lot cheaper than the many instructions required for the if-then-else tree. You pay a little up front to setup the fdivide pointer one time then pay an extra ldr on each instance, but overall it is faster than this:
unsigned int fun1 ( unsigned int a, unsigned int b ); unsigned int fun2 ( unsigned int a, unsigned int b ); unsigned int fun3 ( unsigned int a, unsigned int b ); unsigned int (*funptr)(unsigned int, unsigned int); unsigned int have_fun ( unsigned int x, unsigned int y, unsigned int z ) { unsigned int j; switch(x) { default: case 1: j=fun1(y,z); break; case 2: j=fun2(y,z); break; case 3: j=fun3(y,z); break; } return(j); } unsigned int more_fun ( unsigned int x, unsigned int y, unsigned int z ) { unsigned int j; j=funptr(y,z); return(j); }
gives us this:
cmp r0, #2 beq .L3 cmp r0, #3 beq .L4 mov r0, r1 mov r1, r2 b fun1 .L3: mov r0, r1 mov r1, r2 b fun2 .L4: mov r0, r1 mov r1, r2 b fun3
instead of this
mov r0, r1 ldr r3, .L7 mov r1, r2 blx r3
For the default case the if-then-else tree burns two compares and two beq's before calling the function directly. Basically sometimes the if-then-else tree will be faster and sometimes the function pointer is faster.
Another comment I made is what if you used inlining to make that if-then-else tree faster, instead of a function pointer, inlining is always faster right?
unsigned int fun1 ( unsigned int a, unsigned int b ) { return(a+b); } unsigned int fun2 ( unsigned int a, unsigned int b ) { return(a-b); } unsigned int fun3 ( unsigned int a, unsigned int b ) { return(a&b); } unsigned int have_fun ( unsigned int x, unsigned int y, unsigned int z ) { unsigned int j; switch(x) { default: case 1: j=fun1(y,z); break; case 2: j=fun2(y,z); break; case 3: j=fun3(y,z); break; } return(j); }
have_fun: cmp r0, #2 rsbeq r0, r2, r1 bxeq lr cmp r0, #3 addne r0, r2, r1 andeq r0, r2, r1 bx lr
LOL, ARM got me on that one. That is nice. You can imagine though for a generic processor you would get something like
cmp r0, #2 beq .L3 cmp r0, #3 beq .L4 and r0,r1,r2 bx lr .L3: sub r0,r1,r2 bx lr .L4: add r0,r1,r2 bx lr
You still burn the compares, the more cases you have the longer the if-then-else tree. It doesnt take much for the average case to take longer than a function pointer solution.
mov r0, r1 ldr r1, .L7 ldr r3,[r1] mov r1, r2 blx r3
Then I also mentioned readability and maintenance, using the function pointer approach you need to always be aware of whether or not the function pointer has been assigned before using it. You cannot always just grep for that function name and find what you are looking for in someone elses code, ideally you find one place where that pointer is assigned, then you can grep for the real function names.
Yes there are many other use cases for function pointers, and the ones I have described can be solved in many other ways, efficient or not. I was trying to give the poster some ideas on how to think through different scenarios.
I think the most important answer to this interview question is not that there is a right or wrong answer, because I think there is not. But to see what the interviewee knows about what compilers do or dont do, the kinds of things I described above. The interview question to me is a few questions, do you understand what the compiler actually does, what instructions it generates. Do you understand that fewer or more instructions is not necessarily faster. do you understand these differences across different processors, or do you at least have a working knowledge for at least one processor. Then it goes on to readability and maintenance. That is another stream of questions that has to do with your experience in reading other peoples code, and then maintaining your own code or other peoples code. It is a cleverly designed question in my opinion.
I would have said that they are beneficial (in terms of speed) in any environment, not just embedded. The idea being that once the pointer has been pointed at the correct function, there is no further decision logic required in order to call that function.
Yes, they are useful. I'm not sure what the interviewer was getting at. Basically it is irrelevant if the system is embedded or not. Unless you have a severely limited stack.
Let's see...
Speed (say we are on ARM): then (theoretically):
(Normal Function Call ARM instruction size) < (Function Pointer Call-setup instruction(s) size)
Since their is a additional level of indirection to setup a function pointer call, it will involve an additional ARM instruction.
PS: A normal function call: a function call that is set up with BL.
PSS: Don't know actual sizes for them but it should be easy to verify.
One negative part of function pointers is that they will never be inlined at the callsites. This may or may not be beneficial, depending if you are compiling for speed or size. If the latter, they should be no different to normal function calls.
Another disadvantage of function pointers (with respect to virtual functions since they are nothing but function pointers at the core level):
making a function inline && virtual will force compiler to create out-of-line copy of the same function. This will increase the size of the final binary (assuming heavy use of it is done).
Rule of thumb: 1: Don't make virtual calls inline
That was a trick question. There are industries where pointers are forbidden.

By enhancing our Bricks Grid simulator to accommodated Data Grid scenarios, we investigate and compare the performance of different Data Grid models. These are categorized mainly as either central or tier models; they employ various scheduling and replication strategies under realistic assumptions of job processing for CERN LHC experiments on the Grid Datafarm system. Our results show that the central model is efficient but that the tier model, with its greater resources and its speculative class of background replication policies, are quite effective and achieve higher performance, while each tier is smaller than the central model.

Pakistani Court Will Hear Appeal Of Confessed-Killer Mumtaz Qadri
A Pakistani court has decided to hear the appeal of the confessed-killer Mumtaz Qadri, who was sentenced to death this month for killing the Governor of Punjab earlier this year. The court's decision means that Qadri's death sentence has been suspended, until the high court rules on the appeal.
From Islamabad, NPR's Julie McCarthy reports that hundreds of his supporters rallied outside the courthouse, saying Qadri killed in support of Pakistan's blasphemy laws:
Calling for Qadri's freedom, demonstrators rallied in solidarity for the bodyguard who gunned down the official he was charged with protecting. To his supporters Qadri is a hero who silenced one of the most progressive, secular-minded voices in the country, Punjab Governor Salman Taseer. Their stalwart defense of his killer has raised concerns about growing radicalism in Pakistan.
Qadri tried to justify the murder by saying that he had killed Taseer for his vocal opposition to the country's strict blasphemy laws. Taseer had publicly defended a Christian woman convicted to die under Pakistan's blasphemy law, which he condemned as an affront to tolerance. Members of Pakistan legal fraternity volunteered to represent Qadri. Leading the defense team on appeal is the former Chief Justice of the Lahore High Court. The Islamabad High Court stayed Qadri's execution ... pending further appeal proceedings.
CNN reports that Qadri's attorney is asking for a new trial.
"Qadri was provoked by the governor and should therefore be tried for murder, not an act of terror which is what he was tried for earlier" Raja Shuja Ur Rehman told CNN.

Happy Birthday
I cut 3/4 inch stripes of Pure Luxury Card Stock "Lemon Drop". , then put it through the Cuttlebug, I used Textile Folder. After that I sponged the border with Antique Linen Distress Ink. I positioned the stripes and stitched them onto a piece of White Pure Luxury CS. Then stitched this piece onto a piece of Lemon Drop PL CS. I added some Prima flowers an in the center I put some paper flowers I made!!! They are super easy to make!! Finally I added some Pearls.
I stamped the sentiment in White PL CS, I used Memento Rich Cocoa, sponged the borders .
The stamp set is "Inside & Out" by Gina K. Designs.
