Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a disease caused by weak, worn, or damaged valves in the veins of the legs. It causes swelling (edema) of the legs and can also cause open sores especially in the ankle area.
Veins carry blood, against gravity, back towards the heart. To help this process, veins contain a series of valves that prevent blood from flowing backward. With CVI the valves may be weak or worn. When these valves become weak, blood has difficulty moving upward. Prolonged increased pressure in the veins causes the valves to stretch out, making them unable to close properly. As a result, the blood flows back into other veins and pools in the leg tissues, causing swelling and sometimes varicose veins. The pressure under the skin can also cause the skin to break open producing sores called stasis ulcers. These ulcers increase your risk of injury and infection and are often difficult to treat.
CVI is most commonly associated with previous blood clots, but in addition, obesity, inactivity, aging, and heredity can contribute to this condition.
Swelling and/or pain in the legs, rash, enlargement of veins close to the surface of your skin; dry, cracked, itchy skin; changes in the skin color (red or brownish color), or skin ulcers (usually in the ankle area).
Treatment is designed to reduce the pooling of blood and prevent ulcers and consists of elevation and compression. Elevate your legs above your heart at set times during the day to allow pooled blood to drain (at least 30 minutes every 2 hours). At night, sleep with your feet elevated about six inches by propping them on a pillow.
As leg elevation can be impractical during the day, special compression stockings may be prescribed. These stockings compress the veins close to the skin, thereby preventing blood from pooling and helping it to return to the heart more efficiently. Proper fit is very important. The stockings are designed to provide greater pressure at the foot and ankle and less pressure higher up the leg. Put the stockings on after a period of leg elevation, usually before you get out of bed in the morning and remove them when going to bed at night.
Surgery to correct venous insufficiency are performed rarely. More commonly procedures are based around the local area of the wound.
CVI often cannot be avoided. However, symptoms can be controlled. A walking program that starts with only a few steps every day but builds slowly and steadily may help prevent the progress of this condition.

More than 200 biomedical researchers
from around the world will gather in Grand Rapids later this
month for an international conference on cancer prevention
co-sponsored by Hope College.
The Seventh International Conference on Mechanisms
of Antimutagenesis and Anticarcinogenesis (ICMAA) will be
held at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in Grand Rapids on
Saturday-Wednesday, Sept. 23-27. Topics will range from the
impact of diet, to recent advances using laboratory and
human studies and the ethics of human studies, to DNA damage
and repair.
Many of the presentations will touch on day-to-day
experience, according to Dr. James Gentile of the Hope
faculty, who is helping to organize the event. He noted
that the seminars on diet, for example, will cover issues
such as whether or not enhanced dietary fibre is beneficial;
whether or not taking supplements like Vitamin C is helpful;
and whether or not natural foods and drinks, like green tea,
are cancer preventatives--and, if so, how they work.
This year is only the second time that the
conference, held about once every two years, has been held
in the United States. The gathering presents several of the
world's top researchers in the effort to identify how cancer
happens and how to present it, Gentile said.
"This group has really been at the forefront of
trying to unlock the common denominators in our everyday
lifestyle and everyday life that aid in the resistance of
cancer," said Gentile, who is dean for the natural sciences
and the Kenneth G. Herrick Professor of Biology at Hope. He
chairs the event's Scientific Program Committee and is
editor-in-chief of "Mutation Research," which is the leading
international journal in the field and will publish the
results of the meeting.
"The people that are speaking as the invited
speakers were carefully selected because they are leaders in
the field," he said.
Following opening activities on Saturday, which
will feature a keynote address by Gary Koloff of the U.S.
National Cancer Institute, each day will focus on a
different general topic. Sunday will consider basic
molecular biology; Monday, the role of chemistry; Tuesday,
the role of diet; and Wednesday, human studies.
Nations represented by the researchers making
presentations including Austria, Australia, Canada, France,
Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New
Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and the United States.
Organizations represented range from the German Cancer
Research Center and the National Cancer Center of Japan; to
universities such as Johns Hopkins University, the
University of Victoria in Canada and Seoul National
University; to corporations including Dow Chemical
Corporation and Parke-Davis Pharmaceutical Research.
The ICMAA is organized by Elsevier Science in
association with "Mutation Research." Hope is co-sponsoring
the conference with Dow Chemical, the Nutrilite Division of
Amway, Parke-Davis, and the U.S. Environmental Mutagen
Previous meetings of the ICMAA were held in
Archanon, France; Pisa, Italy; Oshima and Hakone, Japan;
Lawrence, Kan.; and Banff, Canada. West Michigan developed
as this year's site with Hope as a co-sponsor because of the
college's research emphasis and the region's role in the
field, as exemplified by the Van Andel Institute, according
to Gentile.
"We were selected to host the conference because
Hope College is recognized for doing this kind of research,"
Gentile said. "This event is just another example of the
value added in having a biomedical research focus in West
Michigan." Several of the participants will be visiting the
Hope campus during the conference.
In addition to Gentile, key members of the local
program committee at Hope include Glenda Gentile, who is a
research associate, and Tracey Arndt, who is administrative
assistant to the dean for the natural sciences. Hope
students will be attending the conference in addition to
helping organize the event.

Bitcoin's got its issues. But it is not competing with perfection.
I thought the article was pretty neutral.
quote:According to the search function, I have started exactly 2 threads about Bitcoins. The one poining out Bitcoins are trading for less than $100 that is still on page 1, and one about how Bitcoins would establish a new aristocracy since Bitcoin users would have to go to Bitcoin mining operators to get permission to conduct a transaction using Bitcoins. So I think any asccusations of sensationalism should be reserved for the promoters of Bitcoin who tend to ignore the potential shortcomings that critics have from linked articles.

The financial incentive to provide computing power will be gone.
once the last Bitcoin has been mined, who is going to provide the computing power to validate ownership of Bitcoins? The financial incentive to provide computing power will be gone. Who is going to prop up the "currency"?
once the last Bitcoin has been mined
quote:What are those answers? If the number of Bitcoins is finite, then at some point in time the very last one will be mined. When that occurs what is the financial incentive to provide computational power to the Bitcoin network? The rewards of providing computational power must exceed the costs or the ratioanl decision is to stop providing computational power. The only way that can happen is if there are transaction fees sufficient to adequately compentsate the providers of computational power.
No it won't and you've already got your answer to this.

Canadians looking at private sector service delivery as the benchmark are asking why governments can't provide the same level of customer service experience as the banks or retailers. In response, governments are increasingly focusing on how they can achieve the next generation of service delivery to meet Canadians' demands while reducing costs.
Citizen Compass is an online initiative designed to provide Canadians, with a platform to voice their opinions through informed participation and deliberation. Over a three-week period, 3,147 every-day Canadians addressed the central question, "What does the future of government services look like?"
The report shares these Canadians' perspectives on issues surrounding eservices, and provides an analysis from PwC on what governments need to keep in mind as they develop the next generation of eservices.

I've looked at Bazaar but it is a nightmare to setup as a server on Windows.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is Mercurial any better?

Homeowners in their 40s and 50s living in smaller centres may struggle to sell their homes for a good price when the time comes to downsize, says a Waikato University demographer.
Professor Natalie Jackson told a Retirement Policy Research Centre conference in Auckland that the ratio of "decumulators" wanting to sell their assets to "accumulators" was increasing around the country as the population aged and young people moved to bigger cities for work.
She said about one-third of older people sold their homes on retirement, meaning there would be a large increase in the number of house-sellers as baby-boomers reached retirement age.
But, in regional areas, the number of young people to buy those properties was declining.
Elaine Crawford and her husband have been trying to sell their Northland home for some time but have had no bites.
The rates bill kept going up and Crawford said they could no longer afford to live in the property. They are touring the country in their caravan and renting out their Tutukaka home.
"I think it's a problem everywhere, except Auckland."
Jackson said the national ratio of those aged 65 and over to those aged between 20 and 65 was 2:10 and would increase to 3.2:10 by 2031. Areas outside the major centres would be hit hardest.
Matamata-Piako was already at 3.5:10 and was projected to rise to 6.4:10 by 2031. The West Coast, currently 3.4:10, was likely to age even more quickly, reaching a ratio of 7.6:10 by 2031.
"As decumulators rise relative to accumulators, one would expect less competition for what is being sold, and that is not limited to houses," Jackson said.
"Think about businesses people have spent their lives investing in. Regional areas that are experiencing population decline will not see the sort of demand we are seeing in Auckland and Hamilton."
She said those affected the most would be the youngest baby-boomers.
Grey Power president Roy Reid said it was a concern as many older people were asset rich but cash poor. "The value of their house is realistically their supply of money if they should need to go into full-time care or have an operation," Reid said.
But Motu Economic and Public Policy researcher Andrew Coleman said increasing longevity meant many older people were staying in their houses longer. They were also starting to favour bigger houses. Between 1996 and 2006, the number of older people in one- or two-bedroom flats dropped 9 per cent.
"They don't trade down. Those used to be the houses we would buy when they die."
NZIER economist Shamubeel Eaqub said the correlation between demographics and asset prices was not well understood. He said even in countries where there was not a noticeable baby-boomer population, there had been rapid price gains over the past decade.
"I don't want to play down the impact of ageing but it's a slow and gradual thing. It feels like, yes, there's a correlation there. But you have to ask the questions. There must be other factors at play."
Judith Davey, of Victoria University, said the prospect of declining house prices could make equity-release schemes more attractive, so people could get their money out before they had to sell.
Also known as reverse mortgages, these let people borrow on the equity in their homes. Many had negative-equity guarantees, so people would not be left with debt.

Just wondering if anyone has used tar paper for winterizing hives? If you have...was hoping you would let me know the pros & cons.
Just wondering if anyone has used tar paper for winterizing hives? If you have...was hoping you would let me know the pros & cons.
For your warmer climate it is probably a very good idea. When the sun shines, it will give the bees quite a heat gain and might be the difference in their being able to reorganize food stores. The best thing it does if done properly is create a dead air space that goes a long long way in helping them heat their cluster. An easy way I found was to staple one edge square and wrap 80 inches around tight and staple. If you then staple a precut cardboard strip along that edege to keep the wind from getting purchase and ripping things, it helps. I fold the top like wrapping a package and weight it down. I provide ventilation by cutting out th little 7/8" hole I have drilled in my upper box right below the handhold. If there is none, I drill one right thru the tarpaper. I then staple a little cardboard vee over the hole to slow down the wind that might want to blast in.
cheap and easy to install.
Be sure and leave an upper entrance to vent moisture.
I use a small vertical strip of wood to hold the edge and to hold the top away from the notch in the inner cover.
Insulation on top of the inner.Homosote or foam.
Not mentioned - use the 15# tarpaper (not the heavier 30# weight). The heavier paper is hard to wrap. I find primary benefit is additional wind protection. Good luck and tell us what you decided and your experience.
IMO one of the most important things is to put insulation on top of the hive. If you don't then condensation will build up and drip on the cluster. I wrapped my 3 hives last year and bunched them all together. All wintered VERYwell. The second most important is ventilation. I'm using upper entrances so it's not a issue for me because that's what they have all the time.
I use tar paper much in the way that Mike Palmer does. There are videos showing how Mike winterizes his colonies.
The major difference is that instead of string to tie covers down, I use straps. Then again I'm not prepping hundreds of colonies so I can choose a more expensive and easier for me to work with option.
I reverse my notched inner covers so that the notch is down and place a piece of 2" insulation between the inner and outer covers. This has two purposes - one being to reduce condensation and the 2nd being to raise the outer cover so that the notch in the inner cover is unobstructed for the bees to use an an upper entrance.
The solar gain aspect of tar paper has been discussed - I think it has value as a wind break too; especially between boxes in the brood chamber and yes my bees know about propolis!

Naturalization Test Preparation Portal Launched
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History (NMAH) recently launched Preparing for the Oath: U.S. History and Civics for Citizenship, This is a new Web-based learning tool, with an easy-to-use study guide to help immigrants prepare for the history and civics portion of the U.S. naturalization test. The tool is designed to help users better understand the naturalization process, and gain the necessary skills to be successful during the naturalization interview and test. Because it is a tool not only for individuals who are preparing for citizenship, but also for adult educators (including those serving English language learners) and immigrant-serving organizations, most information on the portal is written at the low-intermediate ESL level, and teacher guides are designed for English language learners at the lower levels of instruction.
"Preparing for the Oath is an invaluable addition to the citizenship preparation materials we offer to aspiring citizens," said USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas. "Using the Smithsonian Institution's extensive collection, this online tool will help individuals learn about the founding principles of American democracy and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship in a meaningful way."
Preparing for the Oath is based on the 100 civics questions and answers from which the USCIS draws when administering the naturalization test. It is organized into themes related to U.S. history, government and civics, and offers a short video and self-test on the content of each civics question. The portal also includes lesson plans to assist teachers with their classroom activities, a word list with definitions of terms, and the opportunity for users to test themselves. In addition, the script of each narration has been transcribed and is available for printing.
According to OVAE Deputy Assistant Secretary, Johan Uvin, "Preparing for the Oath: U.S. History and Civics for Citizenship is a rich resource that will promote integration in new ways by taking full advantage of current technology. It will benefit thousands and thousands of individuals who are preparing for citizenship, as well as those who teach them or support them in other ways in community organizations across the country."
For more information, please access the UCIS bulletin about Preparing for the Oath. We also encourage interested parties to access the USCIS Citizenship Resource Center and Study materials page (which includes Spanish versions of the resources).
Innovation for CTE to Build a Competitive Workforce
Innovation, the fourth core principle in Investing in America's Future: A Blueprint for Transforming Career and Technical Education, is based on the notion that America's ability to build a competitive workforce hinges on whether, and to what extent, educators and leaders can find innovative solutions for preparing all students for college and careers. New models, strategies, and approaches developed at the local level will not suffice to support the type of transformation that the administration envisions for CTE unless they are validated, taken to scale and properly supported by systemic reform of state policies and practices. Thus, the Blueprint proposes two key reforms that reflect an innovative approach to the ways in which states can support transformation of the CTE system. These reforms will also help the U.S. Department of Education support the development of new practices at both the state and local levels.
The first reform is a set of conditions for innovation and success that would cover such areas as connecting CTE data to state longitudinal data systems, allowing rigorous CTE courses to be counted for academic credit, improving career counseling systems, and reducing state policy barriers to the transformation of CTE. Collectively, the conditions underscore the important role that states play in supporting rigorous, results-driven CTE programs and systemic reform. Meeting the conditions would signal that a state is ready to transform its CTE system, or has transformed it, to ensure that all students are prepared for further education and successful careers.
The second reform is a competitive CTE Innovation and Transformation Fund—administered by the U.S. Department of Education—to incentivize innovation at the local level and support system reform at the state level. The fund would comprise approximately 10 percent of total Perkins funding. To advance innovation at the local level, the fund would help test promising CTE practices, programs, and strategies and also support the expansion of proven approaches. To advance innovation at the state level, the fund would support policy and programmatic changes that considerably increase CTE access, expand state investments in CTE, and take actions to boost performance and outcome levels significantly. Finally, the fund could support Pay for Success projects that make awards to private non-profit or for-profit entities to undertake activities that achieve cost-effective outcomes in CTE. Awardees would receive payment based on the extent to which they achieve those outcomes.
Taken together, these reforms will ensure that the necessary supports are in place for existing and new delivery models of CTE to flourish so that both new and existing programs are equitable and accessible to all students regardless of their backgrounds or circumstances.

She was meant to be the final piece of the jigsaw but now Julie Corletto looks like the key to respectability for the Mystics this season.
The gun Australian Diamonds defender is the highest profile import to hit these shores but her job description has changed dramatically since the start of off-season training.
First Mystics lost Charlotte Kight with an Achilles injury in January, then Anna Harrison fell pregnant last month, ruling her out for the season.
The dual losses have left the 26-year-old as the kingpin of the defensive end, with relatively inexperienced options around her.
Far from being title contenders, there is already the feeling that the Mystics might struggle to push for the top four.
"What has happened during the pre-season has been disheartening for the team - there is no doubt about that," says Corletto. "We have been going well generally but keep having these hiccups along the way."
However Corletto is staying positive.
"You can't go into a season worried," says Corletto, "I'm really excited about it. The pre-season hasn't gone that smoothly but I guess you could also be a bit worried going in if everything is perfect. Losing a few games pre-season only makes you hungrier and more determined to get the wins when the season starts."
Aside from the personnel losses, there has also been talk in netball circles that not all is well in the Mystics camp. Certainly, Maria Tutaia is struggling with the sudden responsibility of being sole captain (after initially being co-captain with Harrison) and coach Ruth Aitken has had the difficult transition back to being a franchise coach. Of most concern is that the team's standards were slipping and Kight and Harrison were two that could be relied on to uphold those.
"We had a chat recently about all the things we could control within the team," says Corletto. "Little things on and off the court; the one per centers that everyone talks about. We need to tick all the boxes and make ourselves accountable. If we are doing all the right things and being a professional team, hopefully that will be enough to get some wins on the board. We certainly have plenty of talent at the attack end and it is up to us to get enough turnovers to give them chances."
One hopes that the Mystics can be competitive, as Corletto deserves a platform to shine. A precocious talent from an early age, she broke the mould of bean pole defenders at 'only' 1.84m. She made her international debut in 2007 and was the youngest member of the victorious Australian team at World Championships that year.
Corletto was Australian netball's player of the year in 2009 and her absence (through injury) at the 2010 Commonwealth Games was cited as a major contributing factor in the Diamonds' narrow Delhi loss by coach Norma Plummer. Corletto returned with a vengeance at the 2011 World Champs, a key figure in limiting the threat of Maria Tutaia in the Singapore final. She has played in two ANZ Championship finals, winning with the Vixens in 2008.
Corletto is also a trailblazer. Australians have played here before but none at her level, while no Silver Fern has crossed the Tasman to play for an Australian franchise.
"Hopefully it does work," says Corletto, "and we have a good season and I go OK as well. I've been doing everything I can to keep in touch with the Diamonds programme and stay in the frame."
She has had the usual issues of any new Australian here with terminology, both on and off the court.
"Sometimes after training I will say 'OK, I'm going to put my thongs on now'," laughs Corletto, "and the girls immediately say 'you can't say that here'. I also can't get used to dairy instead of milk bar."
Teams here will refer to a quick switch of play across court as a 'square', while Australian teams talk of a 'swing'.
If the Mystics do achieve some success, Corletto is likely to become the most popular Australian on these shores since former Warriors captain Steve Price. She is engaging and affable off the court and ultra competitive on it. There is the hope she will bring that grit to the Auckland team, who have always struggled with the perception of being soft.
Corletto missed the latter part of the international season last year with a knee injury but says it is now 100 per cent. Though she misses friends and family in Melbourne, Corletto is enjoying life on the North Shore of Auckland with Breakers husband Daryl.
"It's great to be in a place where netball has such a high profile," says Corletto. "I guess I get recognised here a lot more than Melbourne, though often that is because I am with Daryl."

New bill prompts debate on online freedoms and rights for New Zealanders
WELLINGTON , Abr 22 (APCNews)
APC welcomes the new Internet Rights and Freedoms Bill proposal launched by Green Party Member of Parliament Gareth Hughes in New Zealand. "Up until now, the debate about human rights and the internet has been quite general," said Joy Liddicoat, APC's New Zealand-based human rights specialist. "But this is the first time a concrete set of proposals has been formulated and put up for debate. The proposed crowd-sourced consultation process also means that for the first time New Zealanders will be able to discuss together how their human rights online should be formulated and protected."
Inspired by similar global initiatives, such as the Charter of Internet Rights and Principles, the proposed New Zealand internet rights and freedoms include the right to internet access, freedom of expression, freedom of association, network neutrality, protection of anonymity, and rights to privacy and freedom from surveillance. New areas for debate include the right to be forgotten, provisions for intermediary liability, freedom of innovation, and freedom from restriction (which relates to filtering and blocking of online content). The draft bill also proposes a new Chief Technology Officer and a new Internet Rights Commissioner.
"All of these areas need close scrutiny and debate," said Liddicoat. "If we want to really protect our internet rights and freedoms we need to work towards shared agreements about them among all stakeholders, including civil society, business, the technical community, government and across political parties."
"APC commends this initiative as it adds to the progressive trend to put internet rights at the centre of the political debate and opens the opportunity to address internet freedoms in a structural way. If passed, the bill would help to measure internet freedom and build on our New Zealand Internet Freedom Index and the APC Internet Rights Charter Liddicoat added.
Recently, Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the internet and the founder of the Web We Want campaign, stated that a set of agreed principles was needed to keep the internet open and free – he called it an "Internet Magna Carta". The New Zealand initiative takes up this debate at the national level, offering New Zealanders the chance to provide their unique perspectives and taking into account their own challenges, while taking part in conversations that are happening globally.

Volume, texture, detail and visual interest make a piece stand out from the others. The way to achieve this does not only rely on threads and the tension given to them. Folds, crumples and layering can define new silhouettes and forms, such as that which is created by the japanese art of origami. Tipically seen on dresses and other formal garments, origami-inspired treatments are artistic yet wearable new ways of expression. These can be conveyed as decorative details such as Hoss Intropia's dress or be part of the structure and overall fit such as Rachel Roy's and Marc Jacob's examples. To capture the spotlight while avoiding being overwhelming, these pieces are usually monochromatic or use a few coordinating colors, which emphasizes the fact that more than stitches meet the eye.

Autumn Cashmere: How volume can be flattering - The blog about Fashion odds and ends, trends and anti-trends, fashion reviews, advice and how tos
Volume in the right places... The volume trend in clothing? It's fabulous, until you actually seem pregnant when you aren't. The problem itself is not wearing something with volume but its location and whether it suits your particular body or not. The Cashmere Kaftan by Autumn Cashmere is an example of how volume can look good when used in the right places. The fake pregnancy look is primarily avoided by cinching in at the waist and having an elongating V-neck. Volume is used to your advantage by freeing the arms and creating movement as you walk while the length of the kaftan makes you look longer instead of wider like it happens with short pieces with volume. Choose right and the volume trend will not only look good on the hanger! For more solutions that create effects with more than stitches, click here.
Is there something that will remain compatible with the rest of your wardrobe season after season? By combining practicality with elegant design, vintage inspired clothing will surely become the constant of your closet. Perfect for upscaling a casual pair of jeans or looking impeccable at the office, classically made garments, may turn out to be your best allies. Always interesting, you will find these pieces to be colorful, textured, detailed and both body and outfit enhancing. Classic and easily made current again, vintage clothing invokes nostalgia like a breath of fresh air from the bit less complex world of the past.
Add descriptionRock and elegance in one... The Cropped Stud Jacket by Anna Sui will be a keeper in your wardrobe. Depending on what you pair it with, this piece will morph into an elegant element or the edgy look of your outfit. Deliberately designed to be versatile, this jacket will be able to define your own style according to your day's spirit. A piece created to make your own and that will speak your mind by putting it on. To read on about style, click here.
Classically thought to be formal and serious when used in clothing, the color gray can actually enhance bolder pieces to create unexpected but surprisingly natural combinations. No matter the accompanying non-gray garments that are used, gray is capable of toning down the elegant and giving glamour to the casual. Plus, with shiny finishes, it can become the ultimate sophistication factor. Gray might not be the first obvious choice when seeking to complement a vivid palette, but being the offspring of black and white, it just has it in its genes.
There's another edge to art-inspired fashion: abstract prints in a restrained color palette. Interesting geometric graphics give these pieces a powerful message without the uncontrolled color mix. Some are directly inspired in world-known artists such as Mondrian and Escher, printed with segments or re-interpretations of their work. Others become the canvas of the designer's own creations such as those by Richard Sorger. Be it structured or free-form, art can be depicted by fashion design with seamless strokes.
How many different materials do we usually wear? Probably just a few. For most occasions, comfortable materials are a sensible choice, so is there a way to look polished at the same time? Postmodern denim to the rescue: the mixture of structure and a variety of thicknesses, shades and finishes make denim look as new as when it was first created in the late 18th century. Found in a wide range of garments, be it casual or upscale, spring or winter oriented, pure or sensual, denim was invented to persist, look good and most of all: be practical for the real life.
Flower patterns during the spring season cannot be called a trend, they are a given. Luckily however, each season, florals are somehow reinvented. This time around, the alternative to predictable spring-related garments are bold and versatile short dresses. Graphic and colorful, these pieces are fresh enough for the daily heat but chic and fit for the city (no need of carrying around a piña colada or coconut handbag with you!). The variety of fabrics have a sense of being one of a kind, handpainted or vintage which contributes to the overall originality and glamour of each garment. Easily transformable from day to night, you will find that modern florals are able to substitute corniness for pure energy.
A timeless style fit for savanna adventures or a daily routine at urban jungles. This spring, African-inspired patterns and colors unite with soft and versatile materials to create a long-lasting trend that will surely continue in the future seasons. Warmer pieces such as Safari-influenced cardigans and suede trousers complement fresher clothes making this style also suitable for the transition between seasons and cooler spring days. By choosing ethnic prints with neutral bases such as white, beige, brown or black, these pieces are smoothly matched with the urban basics: jeans, khakis, leggings, t-shirts, etc. Staying fresh and comfortable while looking effortlessly chic during spring had not been this simple in many seasons.
This is the genuine pattern of character. Used throughout history, checkered, plaid or tartan patterns have always been re-interpreted into the present. The most classic convey red, black and white hues with green, blue or yellow highlights while more casual and modern ones bear lighter shades and a chromatic variety. Is it possible to encapsulate this style into a certain current or fad? Definitely not. It ranges from elegant perennial pieces to fresh spring arrays and counter-movement garments such as those used in punk. This is character squared simply because it depends on both the designer's purpose and the personality of who wears it to define it's ultimate significance.

Simplicity and style in one... The Stella Patent Leather Flat Sandals by Yves Saint Laurent will surely be remembered in the future seasons.

Creating a new type of sandal in it's own right, this pair falls straight from heaven to be part of your every step.

Comfort that tricks the eye... The 3-color pleat tunic by Forever 21 is another example of the volume trend working to our advantage. For instance, the way it drapes and pleats away from the body makes it be breezy and comfortable. The length of the tunic forces the fabric down instead of out which is how our natural proportions are maintained without creating fake bulk. The best feature of this piece? The strategically-placed color blocks trick the eye by narrowing the waist and drawing the eye up to the lightest part which frames the neck. The result? A chic, comfortable and flattering outfit in one. For a great necklace to team it with, click here.

From the silver screen to the red carpet, Cameron just oozes with confidence. And who can miss those sparkling Bvlgari ring and earrings? Those sparklers are worth a lot of money but Cameron made them look like theyre a hundred million dollars with the way she carried them.

If anyone is looking for an all-around excellent neutral makeup palette- this is it. And for $35? A STEAL! A great rosy gold blush plus four shadows that can be combined endlessly. Here are three looks: For everyday- you can use the peach tan & pale beige shadows- beige on lid, peachy tan in crease (with the brown as a liner using a thin brush if you want more emphasis). For a night look, use the black as a liner and use the either the brown on the lid and crease, or the tan (or beige) with brown in the crease. To get a great smoky eye, use the brown on the lid and crease, then line all around with the black, sweeping it away from eye and over the lid. Add a touch of brown around the bottom outer corner of eye and blend beige in the corners and on the browbone.

We spent a wonderful week-end in a cozy and warmly designed apartment. We can confirm all positive things reported about it on this web-site. Location, close to the Central Station and the Underground, is very convenient. Moreover, Verena was highly flexible, most vriendly and very accommodating. Thanks for that. Volker & Rohlee
We hebben genoten van ons verblijf in Wenen in het appartement van Verena. Het was groot, licht, en warm vanwege het gebruik van de kleur oranje. De keukenuitrusting was compleet. Alles was heel goed en schoon. Het bed sliep geweldig. De boeken creëerden een gevoel van 'thuis'. Het appartement ligt op de derde etage, en er is geen lift, dus voor sommigen kan dit een probleem zijn, maar wij genoten van de sfeer in het trappenhuis. Het appartement ligt dicht bij de ingang van de metro U1. Dat betekent dat je in 'no time' in het centrum bent. Het ligt ook dicht bij Wien Hauptbahnhof, en is daardoor ook met een trein vanaf het vliegveld (die naar Salzburg) goed te bereiken.
We loved staying in Verena's appartment! There was more than enough space, everything was good and clean. The atmosphere was warm, because of the use of the colour orange in the appartment . The bed slept very well, and everything we needed was provided for, like kitchenutensils, kitchenpaper, towels etc. She also was as kind as to leave some tourist information on the table! The appartment is close to the subway U1, which makes you reach the centre very fast. Wien Hauptbahnhof is also nearby, and easy to reach from the airport (train to Salzbug). We would recommend this appartment to anyone wanting to go to Vienna! The only point of attention might be the fact that the appartment is on the third floor, with no elevator at hand, but if you can walk, this should be no problem! We loved the authentic atmosphere of the stairway, which was great and big, so easy to go, anyway!
Apartment quiet and confortable situated in a very good place close to the center the host Verena very kindly and helpful. But the wifi it is not very good principally in the night but I think it could be resolved without problems.
We were welcomed by Verena,
We could find everything we needed in the appartment, which is very well-situated (station, undeground, monuments...very close), cosy and well-decorated.
We could enjoy a very good stay in Wien.
Great apartment, highly recommended. Very clean and very tastefully decorated. The landlady was super nice, helpful and gave us in advance already with tips and information versorgt.Wir'll be back!

We have felt very comfortable in the cozy apartment. The apartment is located in a quiet location, but is also so central that you quickly into the city center on foot. The connection to public transportation is just if very well. In addition, the apartment everything is there, what you need to live so. Verena was a very nice and cordial hostess and is very well come to meet with the arrival and departure times. We would come here definitely go back.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in der gemütlichen Wohnung. Die Wohnung befindet sich an ruhiger Lage, ist aber gleichzeitig so zentral, dass man auch zu Fuss schnell in die Innenstadt kommt. Die Anbindung an die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel ist ebennfalls sehr gut. In der Wohnung ist ausserdem alles vorhanden, was man so zum leben braucht. Verena war eine sehr nette und herzliche Gastgeberin und ist uns auch bei den An- und Abreisezeiten sehr entgegengekommen. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder hierherkommen.

There's a big difference between Cruz and most of the WRs listed. The (most) ones listed are big, strong, physical WRs that can make the tough catch in traffic. They are far less reliant on "getting separation" than Cruz is. Honestly, I don't think Cruz is that kind of WR that warrants top dollar. His skillset is more easily replaced than most of the WRs listed.
Don't get me wrong. I love him to death. But for top dollar (assuming he asks that much), I'd take many other WRs in the league over him. Numbers don't lie. He definitely no one year wonder. But he lacks the physicality that warrants the big contract.
Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
Can he catch the ball? Can he run? Can he catch and run? Can he score? Is he a reliable target? These are aspects that matter, and Cruz conforms to them in a big way.
For example, I'm not saying he's yet at the level of Roddy White--although Cruz's 2 year numbers are actually a little better than White's, the past 2 years--but Cruz is the same size as White. Is White not worth "the big contract"?
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
He was on ir his first year. He Was older, and thus closer to his prime than virtually all of those guys during the two years
I don't think Cruz's stats first two years are anything to scoff at. What probably helped him out the most was he was unheralded coming out of college and I'm sure teams didn't forge a strong game plan based on his skills.

friendly host :)
Appartement bien situer et très propre.
hôte sympathique :)
Appartartamento molto piccolo ma per 2 persone puo' bastare.
Posizione eccezionale. Doccia veramente piccola. Lavasciuga molto comoda
Angolo cottura attrezzato con piastre elettriche e forno microonde
Armadio grande ma per lo piu' occupato da strumenti per la casa come asse da stiro aspirapolvere secchio e scopettone per pulire pavimenti.
Divano letto un po' datato e non molto confortevole.
Accoglienza perfetta, il ragazzo dell'agenzia e' stato gentilissimo e ci ha fornito molte informazioni utili per girare la citta'
Mycket bra läge, lägenheten låg mindre än 1 minuts promenad från stranden och 12 minuter till Tågstationen. Gågator med restauranger alldeles runt hörnet, även en närbutik att handla ex frukost i närheten. Nära gamla stan. Liten lägenhet men man ryms 2 personer i bäddsoffan och allt det nödvändiga finns.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Nice studio near the beach and Promenade. Salvatore and his friend were friendly. Everything was the same like in add.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We`ve visited Nice for the EM2016 - the Flat was very modern, central and close to the sea/beach. also supermarket, bakery, restaurants and a club are not far!
Salvatore is also very friendly and help where he can.
Only "bad" thing - parking is very very difficult. :)
- Quality assured accommodation

Strauss v. Horton
Our Sponsors
On November 5, 2008, Lambda Legal, along with the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Center for Lesbian Rights, filed a writ petition in the California Supreme Court. The petition urges the court to hold invalid Proposition 8, an antigay ballot measure that improperly was used in an attempt to undo the California Constitution's core commitment to equality for everyone by eliminating lesbian and gay couples' fundamental right to marry. The groups had filed a similar writ petition in California's high court before the election because they believed the measure's proponents used the wrong procedure to bring their proposal before the voters. As is common, however, the court dismissed that petition without addressing its merits, leaving the groups to renew their arguments if the voters approved Prop 8. After the groups filed their writ petition, two other petitions were filed in the Supreme Court the same day making similar arguments. The Supreme Court agreed on November 19 to hear all three petitions challenging Prop 8, setting an expedited briefing schedule.
According to the California Constitution, significant changes to the fundamental organizing principles of state government cannot be made through the initiative process, which involves petition signatures and then a simple majority vote. Instead, such changes first require the support of 2/3 of the state legislature, and then approval by a majority of voters. This would not be the first time the court has voided an improper initiative. In 1990, the court struck down a measure that would have stripped California's courts of their role as independent interpreters of the state's constitution.
Lambda Legal's Impact
A fundamental purpose of the California Constitution is to ensure that everyone has the same rights, and that majorities cannot abuse their voting power to eliminate minority rights. The courts must remain empowered in their essential constitutional role of protecting minorities. A victory would send a clear message that everyone must follow the rules when attempting to change laws to make one group unequal to everyone else, and especially to change a constitution to replace equal protection with mandatory government discrimination against a vulnerable minority.
- May 2009 In a 6-1 decision, the California Supreme Court upholds Prop 8. The court also upholds the rights of the 18,000 same-sex couples who married between June 16 and November 4, 2008.
- November 2008 Case is filed in the California Supreme Court the morning after Election Day.
- November 2008 Court agrees two weeks later to review the validity of Prop 8, denying an immediate stay but setting an expedited briefing schedule. Court allows the proponents of Prop 8 to participate as interveners and poses three questions for all parties to answer.
- December 2008 California Attorney General Jerry Brown files a brief explaining why Prop 8 is invalid. The brief also explains why Prop 8 would not affect marriages gay and lesbian couples celebrated before the election, even if it were to bar same-sex couples from marrying in the future. Schwarzenegger Administration officials Horton and Scott file brief only addressing pre-election marriages, agreeing with the Attorney General that those marriages remain valid. The proponents of Prop 8 file brief arguing that it is both valid and prevents legal recognition of same-sex couples' marriages from Election Day forward.
- January 2009 Lambda Legal files reply brief in support of writ petition. The proponents of Prop 8 file a brief arguing against the Attorney General's conclusion that Prop 8 is invalid.
- January 2009 Hundreds of religious organizations, civil rights groups and labor unions, along with numerous California municipal governments, scores of bar associations and dozens of leading legal scholars collectively urge the California Supreme Court to strike down Proposition 8 by submitting more than 40 friend-of-the-court briefs.
- January 2009 Lambda Legal files reply brief in response to the far fewer friend-of-the-court briefs submitted by those who believe Prop 8 is valid.
- March 2009 The California Supreme Court hears oral arguments. The Court is expected to issue a ruling within 90 days.
- May 2009 In a 6-1 decision, the California Supreme Court upholds Prop 8, the ballot measure that changed the California Constitution to eliminate same-sex couples' fundamental right to marry in the state. The Court also upholds the rights of the 18,000 same-sex couples who married between June 16 and November 4, 2008 — a position Lambda Legal and our co-counsel pressed to protect those couples' expectations, and to allow them and their families and friends to show that marriage equality respects personal dignity and strengthens communities.

Pothole problems resurface in Colorado Springs
Melting ice, snow uncovers small craters on roads, streets
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Potholes weren't a big concern for street crews earlier this season, but the situation has changed after a week of ice and snow has melted from roads and streets.
Many drivers said they're seeing more and larger potholes, and that their vehicles are being damaged by potholes.
Crews with the city's Streets Division have a priority list for pothole repair based on which were reported first and which are the worst. Crews begin renewing their repair efforts on Monday.
One of the worst areas for potholes is near a roundabout on Northpark Drive, near Interstate 25 and Garden of the Gods Road. It's one that driver Christina Starkey is familiar with.
"I've been driving over it for a few weeks if not months," she said. "(Workers) have put some patches on it but I consider that a waste of money because it's like putting a Band-Aid on a hemorrhage. They have to fix the water issue that's causing it first. Then they can patch it up."
Another driver, Joe Barry, said he's seen vehicles damaged in that area.
"We usually see lots of hubcaps," he said. "People don't slow down. They drive through here fast."
Brian Buresh, who posted a comment on the KRDO NewsChannel 13 Facebook page, said he recently blew two tires on the potholes there.
Corey Farkas, manager of the city's Streets Division, said city workers will be on the site soon.
"We'll be out and hitting those potholes," he said.
Farkas said workers usually respond to a report of a pothole within a week, and that the city patches between 25,000 and 28,000 potholes each year.
But is that enough? Starkey doesn't think so.
"Our taxes should be used toward that -- maybe instead of something else," she said. "I'd even be willing to increase my taxes a little bit, knowing that it'd be taken care of."
City residents who want to report potholes can call the Streets Division at 719-385-ROAD (7623). Residents also can download the "GoCoSprings"app from the city's website, http://www.springsgov.com/Page.aspx?NavID=3473.

I know somewhere deep down in my soul that birthday parties can be done without themes or ombre cakes or picturesque paper straws. Especially parties for grown men.
That said, I totally made an ombre cake for my husband's birthday! ha! ha! Isn't there in old saying that goes: It's ok to copy, as long as you do it better? Well, not only have I copied an idea that's an internet cliche, but I've done it worse!
I would love to be the person to reinvent the ombre cake into something new and fresh, but I simple don't care about cakes that much. God bless the person who does. I'll be sure pin their pictures onto my Pinterest board and eventually try to make it myself two years later.
don't laugh. . .your ombre cake has a 95% chance of looking like this too. :)

text: Hosley is making rookie mistakes [as well as just getting targeted by perfect throws on what was good coverage], same we can expect for another draftee to "simply replace" Webster. Saying it is to easy to just replace Webster is rather foolish given the premium on NFL CBs and how many teams are looking for any qualified corners at all. It's hardly the position to think we can just replace engine parts with and not expect to not lose any steam. And oh yeah, it's still December.

The Bachelor's Guide to Valentine's Day
When you see this perfect bachelor's Valentine's Day, you may get mad you're taken.
You're probably unaware of this, but the reason why your friends can't make it out to Tuesday night poker next week is because it's Valentine's Day. Yes, that day that gets in the way of your winning streak is almost upon us. Instead of going through your entire day like you normally would, make this a day to celebrate your bachelor lifestyle. What you need to do is take a couple dollars out of your bank account and do the following:
Rent the most expensive car you can afford
Live the dream, for once in your life! Let this day be the day that you walk into a dealership (okay, car rental bureau) and have your pick of the litter. Higher end models start at around $300 and go well over $1000 for a day of rental. Fill up the tank and pick up your fellow bachelors to get in on the day that will leave you known as the most resented boys in town on Valentine's Day.
Let Off Some Steam at the Firing Range
Once you've taken the car past the places where your committed friends are blowing cash on girls they hope to sleep with, call your local firing range to tell them to expect some company. Take this chance to arm yourself with the biggest, baddest artilleries in the joint. Fire when ready.
Cigars and Scotch
Once you've let off a few rounds at the shooting range, your body will be coursing with adrenaline. You'll need something to fix that. You know that high end cigar bar your boss always talks about bringing clients to? You're going there next. Once you arrive, have someone walk you through the humidor and pair a decently priced cigar with their most expensive glass of scotch.
Wave goodbye to your rental and call a limousine to pick you and your crew up. It's going to be a daunting task to get into a steakhouse on Valentine's Day, but with a firm handshake and a few 20's we're positive the maître-d will find a table that just opened up. Have the waitress uncork the wine and dig in.
Once you're full of steak, potatoes and good wine, satisfy that one desire Valentine's Day embeds into all males – the urge to see women in lingerie. Storming a local joint with a lively crew will not only be an epic way to end a great day, but also boosts the morale of the other guys in the bar.
