Peter A. Bednekoff
We are enthralled by large predators, yet we have exterminated them throughout most of their historic ranges. We use them symbolically as mascots and they abound on crests, but for the most part we live apart from them: Few of us regularly cross paths with wolves or bears; any cougar attack is likely to make the national news.
In Where the Wild Things Were, science writer William Stolzenburg examines the dramatic role of large predators in maintaining biological diversity. The central idea of the book is that these animals produce a cascade of ecological effects, often by changing the behavior of their prey and of smaller predators. Thus ecosystems without predators may become profoundly impoverished. The book makes these points through a series of connected vignettes.
The action starts in 1963 with ecologist Robert T. Paine flinging ochre starfish (Pisaster ochraceous) off selected patches of rocky shore along the Olympic Peninsula. This experiment, still one of the most-cited studies in community ecology, showed that in the absence of the predatory starfish, space-hogging mussels took over what had been a diverse community.
Then the scene changes: It's 1921 and we're on Spitsbergen (an island in the Barents Sea about halfway between Norway and the North Pole), where Oxford naturalist Charles Sutherland Elton is conducting an ecological survey. After three summers in Spitsbergen, Elton would write Animal Ecology, a book that introduced what has become one of the most important concepts in the field of community ecology—food webs. Elton defined niche as an animal's "relations to food and enemies." Such insights were influential, but it took biologists some time to realize that ecosystems deprived of predators are decidedly abnormal.
Back to Paine: In the late 1960s, he and one of his students performed an experiment in which they removed sea urchins from tide pools and found that in their absence kelp quickly established itself. In 1971 Paine passed this information along to James A. Estes, a graduate student in zoology at the University of Arizona who was studying sea otters (which prey on sea urchins) on the Aleutian island of Amchitka. Estes had been watching the locally abundant otters
lying in the water, bellies to the sky, urchins between their paws, rolling them like little balls of dough to flatten the spines, and popping them down the hatch like popcorn, one after the other.
That this consumption might have far-reaching effects came as a revelation to Estes. When he looked at other islands where the sea otter population had been decimated by fur trading, he found that sea urchins were flourishing and that kelp and its many associates were largely absent.
Twenty years later, sea otter populations began to decline significantly, and Estes discovered that killer whales, who were running out of larger prey, were responsible for that and other declines, "rippling all the way to the base of the food web." In a 2002 address Estes said,
Carnivorous animals are important. We have to stop thinking of them as passengers on this earth and start thinking of them as drivers.
Where the Wild Things Were describes predator research from all over the world; I'd like to mention a few studies dealing with problems in North America. In a chapter called "Bambi's Revenge," Stolzenburg notes that as wolf populations have declined and hunting restrictions have been imposed, deer—particularly white-tailed deer—are being found in unprecedented numbers in many areas. The abundance of deer threatens understory plants in forests. The population explosion among deer apparently triggered a huge increase in the tick population, with the result that Lyme disease became the fastest-growing infectious disease in the United States. (As adults, the ticks that carry the disease often live on deer, but it is when they are nymphs that they usually acquire the bacterium that causes it—most often from chipmunks and white-footed mice—and spread it to humans.) The problems of eastern forests now involve pests that were once "more commonly considered prey," including chipmunks and Canada geese as well as deer. Because no place in the region has a full suite of predators, it is hard to document the effects of the missing predators. In essence, we have embarked on a vast ecological experiment with no control condition.
In some other places we can see the difference particular predators make by comparing areas with those predators to those without. In the mid-1980s, biologist Michael Soulé and his students examined chaparral fragments in the suburbs around San Diego and found an abundance of diverse native birds in the fragments that were inhabited by coyotes. The real threat to the birds had been smaller predators, particularly domestic cats, which were threatened by the coyotes. "Where the coyotes roamed," says Stolzenburg, "the cats ran scared, and the chaparral birds sang."
Another way to see the effects of predators is to track their return to an area. Coyotes have expanded their range, despite programs that kill some 70,000 of them per year (at taxpayer expense). The results suggest that we should welcome their presence. When coyotes come, birds often fare better, because egg predators such as foxes, raccoons and skunks live more circumscribed lives. The indirect effect of coyotes in protecting nests of quail and waterfowl more than makes up for their occasional predation of adults of those species; and by suppressing jackrabbits, coyotes may even improve range quality.
Sometimes predators are deliberately reintroduced to an area, as when wolves were returned to Yellowstone. Since their return, wolves have reduced elk numbers and have profoundly changed how elk live. By keeping elk from lingering near streams, wolves have promoted willow and cottonwood regeneration, increased songbird numbers, changed mineralization rates and allowed beavers to reestablish themselves. Hydrologist Robert Beschta says he would never have guessed "that wolves would control the character of rivers." Yet the data are clear.
The book successfully documents that predators have important and often enriching effects on ecosystems. The science suggests that we cannot maintain large nature preserves without maintaining large predators. The going gets sticky when we move from wolves in Yellowstone to wolves at our door. When a group of scientists proposed rewilding North America to create some semblance of its Pleistocene diversity, reactions were widely and viscerally negative. Importing elephants to substitute for extinct mastodons went over comparatively well. But the suggestion that African lions be brought in to replace their bigger extinct American cousins was greeted like a proposal to institute child slavery. Preserving predators somewhere is generally popular. Restoring them everywhere is not thinkable at the present time. This book informs the ongoing public discussion both by summarizing the essential science and by warning us that deep prejudices about predators have the potential to trump the scientific evidence.
Stolzenburg achieves an impressive overview while following connections among the scientists who are the field's insiders. Paine applies to go to graduate school in paleontology, but when he comes for an interview, the eminent zoologist Frederick E. Smith convinces him to become an ecologist instead. After establishing himself as an ecologist, Paine runs into Estes in a bar or at a movie (their recollections differ) and sparks him to consider the bigger picture for sea otters off Alaska. Stolzenburg shows that science is social and filled with large personalities. It is also a system for comparing ideas and evidence, carried out by social primates skilled in both competition and cooperation. Throughout the book, we see scientists probing, pondering and reexamining ideas they hold dear. Better ideas and new data do win out, although not always quickly or smoothly.
As a piece of science writing for a general audience, Where the Wild Things Were ranks with Jonathan Weiner's The Beak of the Finch for its ability to convey the excitement of research while getting the details right. Stolzenburg knows when to let the scientists speak for themselves, and his own prose is striking. Here, for example, is his description of Wiwaxia, a Cambrian fossil:
A sluglike beast sheathed in a chain-mail suit of armor and—just to make sure—a minefield of dagger blades springing from its back: A headless armadillo crossed with a tailless porcupine.
Stolzenburg's lively descriptions and penetrating insights make this book a delight. It led me to look at familiar things with fresh eyes. Where the Wild Things Were is a joy to read, and its subject is an important one; I recommend it to scientists and nature lovers of all types.
Peter A. Bednekoff is professor of biology at Eastern Michigan University. His research interests include the behavior of birds in the nonbreeding season and, more generally, how animals find food while avoiding predators.

Savita Halappanavar, a 31-year-old citizen of the Republic of India, originally from Belgaum in Karnataka and who was working in Ireland as a dentist, died at University Hospital Galway (Ospidéil na hollscoile Gaillimh) on the 28 October 2012.
She was suffering from a miscarriage when she was about 17 weeks pregnant. She sought medical attention and treatment at University Hospital Galway, where her husband reported that she was refused an abortion, or a termination of her pregnancy, by the hospital upon the grounds that the miscarrying foetus still apparently had a heartbeat of its own. During the next several days, Halappanavar developed septicemia and multiple organ failure, which led to her death.
Under Irish law, an unlawful act of abortion is a criminal offence in the Republic of Ireland and is punishable by imprisonment. Albeit this was a controversial case, especially as she was being diagnozed with other fatal diseases, and an abortion would've saved her life. Unfortunately, due to the lack of flexibility, or rather a law specifying an abortion in such a case was lacking, the doctors had no choice but to let Savita slip into septicemia and suffer from multiple organ failure.
This incident saw a massive response from the global media who shed light upon the morals and ethics revolving around the sensitive case of abortion. Rallies and protests were held, calling for a change in the abortion laws in Ireland, of which the protesters claimed led to Halappanavar's death. There are currently on-going investigations into the incident and her death.
The Minister for Health, Dr James Reilly said that the public must not pre-judge the situation and further said that he was awaiting for the results of the investigations.
In India, the Indian Minister for External Affairs Salman Khurshid also summoned the Irish ambassador Debashish Chakravarti to India for deliberations over the issue.

Behavioral Laboratory in the Social Sciences: Geospatial Analysis of Roman and Medieval civilization
Professor McCormick's well-established team (several undergraduate and graduate students, a post-doc GIS from CGA, McCormick and the other editors) are building the internationally acclaimed web-based research and teaching tool Digital Atlas of Roman and Medieval Civilizations http://darmc.harvard.edu. Each BLISS fellow will work under the team's guidance to create and experiment with exploiting one or more new geodatabases and make it available on the web; the fellows are named as the cartographers responsible for their geodatabase and can be first to analyze the data they create. Geodatabases under consideration for development: the archaeological record of late Roman Gaul; all surviving Latin books written before 800 AD and their movements; coin hoards from Charlemagne's empire; etc. McCormick's team begins and concludes each summer with a conference and festive lunch in which they present their projects and ideas.
This project gives undergraduate fellows a substantive opportunity to learn what it is like to be an historian working at the cutting edge of the interface of the sciences and the humanities. Past team members have uniformly loved the experience of working as a team in advanced scholarly research, the publishing credit they garner, and the amazing new insights into ancient civilizations they create and share with the global community of scholars. They usually come away also with considerable GIS skill, useful in business, gov't, etc. And they have a blast, as they testified in a most recent Harvard Magazine.
Required background of the candidate: Some knowledge of Roman and/or medieval history/archaeology; enjoyment of computers, internet, XL and e-resource searching; the more familiarity with Google Earth and/or GIS the better (CGA runs short training courses frequently); reading knowledge of French, German or Latin would be a great advantage, but not indispensable. Enjoyment of supportive team atmosphere.
DEADLINE February 27: FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT "Research Opportunities/BLISS" at http://undergrad-research.harvard.edu

Read my review - 3/5 stars
What I did
Melbourne Commercial Business District
Immigration and customs clearance was a breeze. They randomly check baggages and mine was exempted. After getting myself freshened up, I head outside to catch the airport bus heading to the city. I had pre purchased the tickets online which cost me AUD 20 for a return ticket and that was very convenient too.
The weather at this time of the year was not too cold as it was moving from winter to summer and it can be quite erratic at times. When I was out of the airport, it was around 20 Celsius.
Got on the bus and it took us to the city center in around 25 minutes. This is the cheapest mode of transport to the city. Taxi's are expensive here and it would have easily cost me around AUD 55 .
Once in the city, there was a free hotel transfer service provided by this airport bus company. I had to walk over to their counter and mention my hotel name and a small van would take passengers and drop them off one at a time at their respective hotels.
For me, I was the last to be dropped off and I reached the hotel at 10.00 am. I checked in but there was no rooms ready yet for me. Hence I left my baggage there, grabbed my jacket and camera from the luggage and started venturing out around the CBD until it was time for me to be picked up at my hotel.
The CBD is very interesting. I was told that it is bustling during office hours but after office hours and during weekends, none of the shops and restaurants are open and hence I was starving and there was no place where I could even get a coffee or a simple breakfast.
I did not venture out too far as within about 30 minutes after the check in process, the tour bus was there to pick me up. I booked this tour online from Malaysia. Today, my destination is to Phillip Island and I am expected to return back to the hotel only around midnight. This company was the cheapest I could find online and it is called Wildlife Tours Australia run by a small family.
The buses too are not too big and it is limited to around 12 people only. Just the right size and this tour today cost me AUD 90. Thats a decent price for almost a full day tour and dinner is included.
The driver cum tour guide called John got down from the bus, greeted me and verified my documents just to ensure that it was me that had booked the tour. With that, we set off on the tour for the day.

A very methodical and easy to understand tute, n2. I enjoyed it thoroughly!
Such ugly fabrics yet when you put it together it is very cool looking!!! Thank you for the tute. I am going to try this one.
Great tut, thanks for posting!!!
Thanks everyone!
In rereading my script, I realized I left out a paragraph @ post #6 so here it is describing the low contrast block: I had accidentally hit the wrong key and duplicated my page's paragraphs, lost my place in pasting, and finally picked it all up but omitting this one paragraph! Whew! Tut posting can be so much fun!! :eek::shock::rolleyes:
Another type block is 'low contrast'. Here's a pic of one. It is a dark meeting a dark cool color one. Another way to say that so you understand is it's a cool color of the darkest kind meeting together with a dark color from the warm color family. haha. That is a lot to explain, isn't it? Another way to say that is it's a dark meeting a dark showing little contrast no matter which color family it's from! There we go! We have it now! On the other side of that coin is a light meeting a light also showing very little contrast between the two. Out of 16 blocks so far, I only have one low contrast, but would make more to go in the quilt as they provide a lot of interest to the quilt. I like their low level way of interaction. You might say they are the quiet blocks in a quilt (the light ones only). The dark low contrast ones act as a bridge sometimes. For example, I used this block as a bridge to getting to my highest contrast block and when they are placed together, you notice it!
I just love this tutorial, I've always enjoyed looking at wonky type quilts but never had the courage to try and make one. Your explanation of how to play with the different designs and get them to work together was great. Thank you so very much.
WOW Wish I had your eye!
Thanks for all your work on that tutorial!
What an amazing tut! So much information and the samples really nail the concept. Thank you so much for your time and your expertise!
Loved your tut......This one is going on my to do list with my scraps.........Now to decide if I want to do it in warm reds, oranges and pinks or cool greens and blues with occasional purple....purple I think will work either way depending on color tone and strength. Oh my mind is working! But must finish the three I have already started as next Christmas gifts.....May take a break on next retreat and try this tut..will let you all know how it goes.
Thanks so much for the easy to understand, concise and thorough rite. I love how you have played with the colors and shapes.
Great tut, even I can understand it.:thumbup:

Falwell said queers live in sin. Jesus does not give grace to those who live in sin. Only those who repent their evil ways and accept the teachings of Jesus my savior. Jesus does forgive but only to those who do not live in sin. This cartoon makes no sense to me because no victory was won no point or good point is being made. An anti-gay man died and this makes queers proud?

It wasn't until I read of Falwell's death that I began to believe that maybe "God" is a possibility.
For real proof, can "He" do the same trick on the bush administration?

Although I am sorry that the man died young, I am sure if he took care of his health he could have lived a little longer, but I do not think he was like the Rev. Billy Graham.
By Brian, May 17, 2007 at 12:30 am Link to this comment
I don't see what good rejoicing in the death of a person does to any cause or movement. I feel compassion needs to remain a part of the progressive movement. We need to set ourselves apart from that sort of rancor and petty politics.
This cartoon doesn't speak for all queers, nor does it represent anything but a point-of-view. John Lowell's ridiculous overreaction and righteous indignation either shows a practiced naïveté or an outright stupidity so common of the sitting duck religious types. Those that just sit there ready to feel attacked and scream "religious oppression" when they do. It's disingenuous at best. I'm sorry, Mr. John Lowell if you identify your entire religion with this one petty man. I am very sorry for you. I think you do your religion a massive disservice.
The fact is, for all your feeling attacked -this man sold out your beliefs to a political party and a set of secular special interests. This man set himself up for attack by constantly attacking others. He set himself up as a symbol of hate and misery and it is that symbol that must be attacked. That is what this cartoon says to me: that after the hate has died we are still here.
Having said that, I mourn for the loss of Jerry Falwell, had he lived another couple of hundred years, he may have too seen the truth - that his actions were based on hatred and greed. Like the Dali Lama said when he asked for Saddam's life to be spared something like everyone has a chance to improve and correct themselves. Even Jerry Falwell.

His life came to an end in the most deserving way, alone, uneventfully, and without even a dog to lick his sorry flesh.
I do hope his arrival to hell was a deserved reward to the pain and misery he dished out.
By John Lowell, May 16, 2007 at 7:40 pm Link to this comment
To exult in the death of anyone simply because they disagree with your point of view is not only in bad taste but says more about those exultant than the one now dead.
For this site to encourage this kind of tastelessness is of a piece with those that published the video of the hanging of Sadam Hussein. The hatred of the Christian religion all too often in evidence here is an indictment of the people that that run truthdig.com and a stain particularly on people like Robert Scheer, who until now I'd respected. And as for Fish, if homosexuality is to be characterized by this kind of schadenfruede then perhaps the just concerns of religious people about it are, if anything, most under-appreciated.
This blog needs a little castor-oil.

Utilizing data from a national study of missing children, this article compares family abductions perpetrated by men and women. Comparisons focus on the incidence, outcomes, and institutional responses to the abductions. Also, the relationship between the abductor and child(ren), harm to the child(ren), the use of concealment, and the characteristics of abductors and children are examined. Women perpetrated approximately one third of the abductions in the study. Female perpetrated abductions were more likely to involve concealment of the child, and were of longer duration. The relationship between these patterns and patterns of custody and societal expectations regarding parental roles of men and women are discussed. Broader implications for the understanding of female criminality are also explored.

I'm not about the brand really. I'm about the performance, fit, feel, and the consistent groups. When I shot the 05 Mat switchback I was currently shootinng an 04 Hoyt X-Tec. The only thing I liked better about the Hoyt was the grip. I like the way it cradles compared to mathews. I am sold on the Mathews I shoot. I am curious to know what led you to the conclusion that Mathews is so God-awful? I dropped from open freestyle and started shooting Bowhunter Freestyle b/c I was shooting better x-counts w/ the Mat. @ 70lbs than my Ultra-Elite 50lb. Freestyle Bow. I was consistently 53X w/ it, before I was barely breaking 40X. Was it just one bad bow or a multitude? I tried the trykon when it was released after I bought the Mat, and hated the way it nearly tore my shoulder out of socket when it broke over. The Bowtechs felt the same to me and loud. The bow really didn't have much in the way of stretch or break-in, surprisingly enough. Never experienced that before. I had a bad deal w/ a couple bowtechs when the patriot first came out, riser machinig issues. They denied it but I mic'd the bows and it was wrong. Maybe they've worked it allout, but I'll never shoot another one. Not bashing anyone just my exprience. I'd be interested to know what's got you so set against Mat. Maybe it's not the horse, might be the jockey... j/k

Ratings for Dr. J. Daniel LaBriola
Excellent work.Dr. LaBriola is very efficient and meticulous in his work.
The Doctor that did my surgery was very nice however the STAFF is very unprofessional they are there just for a paycheck and not to help patients. I hope that The Doctors pay more attention as to the quality of service their employee's are providing because unfortunately it reflects on the Doctors and their office.
I agree with other reviewers who indicated that Dr. LaBriola DID NOT explain the treatment plan with me and was very rushed. Clinical staff was very RUDE and dismissive. I was told his office would check my insurance for my follow-up work that needed to be done. No call back, no record of any follow-up with my insurance. This doctor is trying to see TOO MANY patients and obviously, on his busiest days, his patients get less of his and his staff's attention to detail. I will never go back and I would never recommend this office. They DO NOT CARE.
Dr. Labriola is the best doctor ever!! A+++++ 5 stars 100+ points!
Dr. Labriola was awesome! They KNOW they have a rude staffing issue because now when you go into the office, you get a peice of paper to rate each memeber on the staff that you encounter. At any rate, they staff was really nice and helpful during my procedure. Dr. Labriola removed all four of my wisdom teeth and 1 day later I am feeling really good. Not taking anymore meds (besides the antibiotic). Would highly recommend Dr. Labriola for anyone!
Waited less than 10 min., nice office, staff very professional, nice and helpful; Dr. Labriola was great, novocaine for molar extraction barely hurt at all much to my surprise, extraction was quick and painless, overall a very pleasant, professional, minimally painful visit, I highly recommend Dr. Labriola.
Been waiting for months to receive a follow treatment letter. This doctor is over booked
Labriola was an okay doctor. He was efficient and quick, but his staff was awful. They were quite rude and didn't explain the procedure or post-procedure instructions very well. Would not recommend this practice.
I did a orthognatic surgery from Dr.Labriola and the result was horrible.The main purpose of orthognatic surgery is to correct my bite and align my jaws. it has been 4 years since my surgery. my bites are still open and my jaw is not aligned at all. It looks more tilted than before. I don't even know what he did during my surgery.

Harvesting mushrooms
Never eat a mushroom you've found in the forest unless you are absolutely sure it is edible.
Please use restraint when you find a patch of your favorite fungi, because overpicking can deplete a population and ruin future harvests. Be selective, and be gentle removing the mushroom so you don't disturb its mycelium.
Use a sharp knife to cut it just above ground level so you collect all the parts you'll need to ensure accurate identification.
Wrap each type of mushroom separately in wax paper (not plastic) and gently lay in a flat basket or container so as not to crush your prize. Spores from the mushrooms will drop through the basket as you walk, seeding the area for future harvests.
If you've been hiking the forests around Steamboat Springs lately, you might have noticed the amazing variety of mushrooms that are poking their heads through the leaf litter and conifer needles at the base of our trees. Mike, a mushroom enthusiast who works at Vidalia Market, helped me identify a few of the mushrooms I found during the past week.
First - a word of caution. Never eat a mushroom unless you are absolutely certain it is one of the edible varieties. Many mushrooms that grow in the forests around Routt County are extremely poisonous. Don't rely on photographs alone for identifying mushrooms. Read the descriptions and pay attention to the notes on other mushrooms with a similar appearance.
Mushrooms are not considered plants or animals. They have their own classification in the Kingdom of Fungi. When identifying a mushroom, look closely at all of its basic parts. This includes the cap, stalk, gills (under the cap), the ring around the stalk (also called partial veil), the underground bulb and its mycelium (root-like tendrils). The spores of a mushroom, often seen as a dusting on plants around the mushroom, also help identify it.
Here are just a few of the mushrooms found along local trails last week:
- The bright red Amanita muscaria is spectacular but poisonous. Its apple-red cap with white spots seems otherworldly, hence its common name Sacred Mushroom. It really stands out in a dark forest of mixed evergreens.
- Porcini mushrooms, also called King Bolete (Boletus edulis), can be found in profusion right now and are of amazing sizes. This prized, edible mushroom has a large cap (up to 20 inches across) with a thick, somewhat bulbous stalk. The cap is a toasty, reddish-brown color. It is found among Engelmann spruce and other conifers as well as some hardwoods.
- The beautiful chanterelle (Aphyllophorales cantharellaceae) fruits in July and August in the soil around lodgepole pines, mixed conifer stands and some aspen groves.
- Looking a bit like coral found in the ocean, the bright orange Ramaria largentii is usually found soon after a rainstorm and is not recommended for eating. It can have a laxative effect on some people.
- While looking closely at another mushroom, I glanced over and saw the strangest-looking mushroom, the Clavaria purpurea. This one looks like a group of 5-inch-tall purple worms standing on end and waving their heads (or tails?) in the air. Also called Fairy Fingers, this mushroom is edible, but I couldn't bring myself to even touch it.
- The Gem-Studded Puffball (Lycoperdon perlatum) also stands out along forest trails - even though it is quite small - because many of the ones I've seen are a very bright white. As they age, the color darkens to light tan hues. This is an edible mushroom, but it closely resembles the poisonous Amanita buttons at their immature stage.
For more information about mushrooms that grow in Colorado, pick up a copy of Vera Stucky Evenson's "Mushrooms of Colorado," which was published in cooperation with the Denver Botanic Garden and Denver Museum of Natural History.

I no longer get huge red cysts or even pus filled whiteheads. I get tiny little bumps around my mouth and chin and sometimes on my cheeks and I KNOW that every single one will turn into a fully fledged spot. The spots seem drier somehow, and look like the normal spots which people with clear skin sometimes get, as opposed to acne spots. I was completely clear of spots and blemishes for about six months after I stopped taking the pills. My skin is no longer painful to touch because there are no inflammed area and th spots are no longer itchy. Isotretinoin is commonly prescribed for the treatment of severe acne. I cant really understand what she means, but Im sure she know what shes talking Phew! sorry about the length! Good luck everyone!. My personal history with acne is long and boring so Ill spare you guys. My skin was blemish free and I felt brilliant. Areas which are spot free look really go d. I feel healthier, and my skin doesnt look so greasy. This has now got me paranoid and I havent had any chocolate for ages now! What do people think about food being the culprit?or at least triggering breakouts?, because my chinese doctor says not to eat cheese/lamb/chocolate/crisps because heyre too hot for my body. Unfortunately I was one of the sad few who get relaps s. Suffice to say Ive had acne for 5 years now.Hi, Ive just stumbled across this site, and think its great. I thought Id give my body a rest and try and control this thing working WITH my body as opposed to against it. I cant say its a miracle, but I have noti ed a change in my acne. then went on Roaccutane and it worked brilliantly. I know that Ill have to wait a good while before the herbs really take hold, but Im optimistic; every person Ive spoken to whos taken chinese herbs for one reason or another has said that yeah, it does take a while, but it has worked for them. My advice is definitely do the accutane if they recommend it. It cleared up for a year after taking erythromycin, but came back again. So I started taking Chinese herbs. And ure enough it does.Ive been down the dermatologist route with cystic acne. Buy cheap Isotretinoin. I cant describe how depressed and frustrated I felt when I realised it was happening all over again. Anyway, about three months ago, Id decided Id had enough of stuffing my system with medicine Ive been on every antibiotic under the sun, th pill, and put a very strong drug in my system for four months. So anyway, I was hoping that if anyone else has had experiences with Chinese herbs, if they could email me and tell me about it? Also, I came across a web site by this bloke who claimed that refined sugar ca sed his acne.. I dont know what causes it, but Im starting to think it may be related to the food I eat. . I get tiny red spots, usually the size of a pinprick, which are much easier to cover up. Ive not had one single negative comment so far!!. Although cases of inflammatory bowel disease IBD have been reported in isotretinoin users, a causal association remains unproven. Generally, we start with topicals retin-A, clindamyacin, and a couple others, move on to oral antibiotics, and then if that doesnt work, on to accutane

Editor's Note: These are not our official 2012 fantasy football rankings. These are only the opinion of Tom.
Playing fantasy football is kind of like playing the stock market. Some people would rather go safe and pick a stock that you know will be steady and reliable, but probably won't make you rich. Other people like to go after those risky stocks, the ones that can either make or break you. Sometimes you have to put some faith in a risky player if you want to win a championship. With the amount of external variables that can put a kink in a player's health and performance, you would be silly to assume that that anyone is invincible. Some of these following players come with a history of letting people down, but in order to hit it big, you've got to have a little faith.
7) Tom Brady (QB) – Taking quarterbacks early is no longer first round follies. Over the past few seasons, quarterbacks have proven to be more consistent and valuable than running backs that are projected to give you top 10 value. You know what you're getting with Brady, quality and consistent weeks from your quarterback. Will he throw 5200 yards and have 42 total touchdowns again? The odds are that he probably won't. But Tom Brady is a competitor and you have got to expect him to come out a possessed man after losing to the Giants for the second time in the Superbowl. Rodgers, Brees and Brady are probably the safest picks in the draft; if you get the chance to snag any of them, be thankful and pull the trigger.
Projections: 4,500 passing yards, 36 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
8) Maurice Jones-Drew (RB) – MoJo is a great fantasy back. He tends not to miss games and he contributes rushing and receiving stats. Last year he quietly put up 11 total touchdowns and 1,980 total yards. For a long time he was the type of back that would have break out games but would also leave you with a couple duds, which can really be frustrating. This past year he finally became a consistent fantasy threat that you could really count on. MoJo only rushed under 80 yards once for all of last year. If the Jaguars can manage to keep their offensive line healthy, MoJo definitely stands to have another solid year with a possibility for more touchdowns.
Projection: 1,700 total yards and 13 touchdowns (PPR)
9) Calvin Johnson (WR) – Megatron didn't waste much time before rewarding his owners last season. For years everyone has know what he was capable of, but his problem has always been lingering injuries and never having a good quarterback. But in 2011 the stars aligned. Calvin Johnson avoided major injuries, as did as his quarterback Mathew Stafford. Has anyone ever started a season as hot as Calvin did? Through the first 8 games of the season, Megatron put up a staggering 11 touchdowns and 804 yards. It is pretty nice to have a wide receiver you can count on every week to have a good game. He and Stafford still need to prove they can stay healthy to shed their injury risk pasts, but if they both manage to stay on the field I would expect more of the same. Elite wide receivers of his size and power aren't easy to find.
Projection: 1,400 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns.
10) Darren McFadden (RB) – Generally I'm not a believer in picking players off pure potential. I would rather take someone with a lower ceiling, but you know what you're getting with them. The exception for me is Darren McFadden. Run DMC's potential is off the charts. If he could stay healthy as the number one back for Oakland all year, a 2,200 total yard season isn't out of the question. Over the last two seasons, McFadden is averaging over five yards a carry as well as being a threat to break an 80 yard touchdown on any given day. I think he has just had a few unlucky seasons and that he could end up posting top 5 numbers. I've got faith in Run DMC.
Projection: 1,900 total yards and 13 touchdowns (PPR STUD & INJURY RISK)
11) Rob Gronkoski (TE) – I know taking a tight end in the first round in years past would have been a laughable offense, but how can you argue with his numbers, his size, his quickness and his quarterback? Last season he was by far Tom Brady's favorite target in the redzone and on third downs. If he hadn't gotten that high ankle sprain at the end of last season, the Patriots very well may have won the Superbowl. Gronk has only been in the league for two years and he put up over 1,300 yards and 18 touchdowns at a position that tends to be deep, but not with many studs. Antonio Gates can never stay healthy, Jason Witten is solid but never puts up double digit touchdowns, you never know what you're getting with Vernon Davis, and Jermichael Finley continues to disappoint the owners who take him. The only player who is even close at the tight end position is Jimmy Graham . After everything is said and done, it comes down to this: he is Tom Brady's favorite target. Even if his numbers drop off slightly, he should still post first round value.
Projection: 1,200 yards and 16 touchdowns
12) Jamaal Charles (RB) – Last year Jamaal Charles was widely being considered a top 5 fantasy pick. We never really got to see how that would have panned out. All I know is that Charles still has ridiculous upside. Snagging him late first / early second round could be risky, but it could also win you a championship. Jamaal Charles has displayed unheard of speed… like 2009 Chris Johnson speed. I know he is returning from a torn ACL, and so maybe the speed he once had won't quite be there anymore, but he still has enough upside to warrant a late first round pick. For his entire career, Charles is averaging over six yards per carry. He is a rushing yard hound and a ppr nightmare. If he were to get even the slightest bump in goal line attempts, Charles could be putting up MVP type numbers. I know the knee injury is scary, but if I get the chance to take him late I'm going for it.
Projection: 1,700 total yards and 11 touchdowns (INJURY RISK)

DAMASCUS, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- A suicide car bomb went off Monday evening in front of the Syrian air force intelligence compound at the Harasta suburb of the capital Damascus, sources said.
Intense clashes have followed the blast and are still raging on, the sources said, however, no reports of casualties have emerged with the absence of official comments.
Some pro-government media said the guards of the security installation have suspected the car and showered it with bullets before the suicide bomber detonated himself.
Meanwhile, witnesses said that the blast was so strong that other adjacent suburbs heard the big boom.
Earlier, a pro-government Syrian radio said a suicide car bomb went off at Harasta suburb of Damascus overnight Monday.
Such blasts have become increasingly common recently at a time the Syrian troops is carrying on with wide-scale offensives nationwide to root out armed insurgency that have become rampant nationwide.
The last blast occurred Sunday evening, when a booby-trapped car ripped through the garage of the police headquarters in the capital Damascus and killed one police member.
Midnight blast rattles district in Syrian capital
DAMASCUS, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- A loud blast was heard after midnight Monday in the Damascus district of al-Mazzeh, the second to rock the capital within hours, witnesses say.
The blast's exact location wasn't immediately figured, but it came just hours after a suicide bomber detonated his car near the air force intelligence compound in the Damascus' suburb of Harasta, which has reportedly left material damages. Full story

Is 13 Too Young For A Supervised Movie Date? – Daily Dilemma
Here is Today's Daily Dilemma:
A couple of nights ago, I let my 13 year old son go on a supervised (by me) "movie date". I mentioned on Facebook how proud I was that he was such a gentleman and opened doors for her etc. I was shocked at some of the comments I got from other people saying that this was far too young, for even a supervised "date" and that he would wind up on "16 and pregnant".
Was I wrong to let them go to the movies together, even supervised?
The "Daily Dilemma" on the Sean and Richie Show is featured every weekday morning at 6:40am. We and the listeners take on someone's problems and try to offer different perspectives. Now, these don't have to be huge problems- it could just be something bothering you or a friend, or it could be some little thing you and another just can't agree on.

Aucklanders are sucking up more than $600 million a year in injury rehabilitation claim costs, but a major new report by the Accident Compensation Corporation reveals Nelsonians are the most injury-prone Kiwis.
The report compares injury rates across the nation's territorial authorities for the 2012-13 financial year.
Nelson suffered the highest accident rate with 4713 claims per 10,000 people for new registered claims, while neighbouring Tasman district had the lowest rate at 2669. Auckland region's claim rate was 4076.
A series of profile reports, released yesterday, record accident scenes, the cause, what a person was doing when they suffered their injury and the environment around them.
Causes included loss of balance, skidding on feet and being knocked over by an object.
Other victims said they had been out walking or running when they were injured and even while playing with their children.
Thousands of Aucklanders are being injured on the job, workplace injuries causing more than 500,000 days of lost productivity in a year.
Auckland City had a relatively low claim rate of 617.57 per 10,000 people aged 15 and over - against a national rate of 930.25 - while Manukau City's claim rate was 969.77.
Kim Campbell of the Employers and Manufacturers Association said companies had become much more aware of workplace safety.
"Anecdotal evidence is that [work accidents] are coming down - and coming down rapidly. There's been a huge increase in awareness about safety in general and company liability in particular," he said.
Injuries suffered because of motorvehicles cost Aucklanders around 250,000 days of lost productivity in a year. While the vehicle "moderate to serious cost" injury claim rate (excluding motorbikes) in North Shore, Waitakere and Manukau City was well below the national rate, it spiked almost twice as high in Auckland City.
Meanwhile, Manukau City residents had a worryingly high number of assault injury claims, with a rate of 75.04 per 10,000 people - well above the national rate of 59.55.
Other parts of the city, including downtown Auckland and Waitakere, also had higher assault claim rates, while people on the North Shore were less likely to suffer an assault injury.

The word "to" in this phrase is slightly confusing because it is usually used to introduce a verb, as in "want to" or "have to". Even though saying "I want to hear from you" is completely correct, "to look forward to" employs a different pattern:
Obviously, "hear" is not a thing, so it wouldn't make much sense to "look forward to hear from you". The thing you are looking forward to is "hearing from you":
As for the question whether to use "I look forward to" or "I am looking forward to", some people consider the two completely interchangeable, but most find the phrase with "look forward to" somewhat formal and best suited for formal correspondence, whereas "to be looking forward to" is more informal and friendly:

Use a special cover plate to replace a leaky, old two-handle shower valve with a new scald-proof one-handle valve without tearing out tile or the wall. This is a challenging project.
Unscrew the old handles. Mark the cover hole on the tile and cut it out with an abrasive blade in a jigsaw.
Cut the pipes and remove the old valve. Solder in a new one and screw the conversion plate over the hole.
If your old two-handled shower valve is worn out or leaks, don't despair. You don't have to tear open the tile wall to replace it. The best way to replace it is with a conversion plate. The plate covers the old valve holes and you do the entire job through the hole you cut in the tile. Buy a plate that fits your new faucet and is wide enough to cover the old valve positions. To find a conversion plate, call a plumbing supply store or order online.
This is a challenging project. You may find loose tiles, rusted pipe and other problems.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
You'll also need an abrasive blade for your jigsaw to cut the tile.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

A national campaign to get drivers to slow to 20mph around homes, schools and shops was launched today.
To mark Road Safety Week, various organisations have united to launch GO 20 in an effort to make the roads safer for walkers and cyclists.
Road safety charity Brake is one of the involved groups who also include sustainable transport body Sustrans and the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE).
The launch coincided with the publication of a survey of more than 8,000 children aged seven to 11 by Brake, Brain Injury Group and Specsavers.
This showed:
70% of the youngsters said they would be able to walk and cycle more if roads in their neighbourhood were less dangerous;
77% said drivers needed to slow down around their home and school;
43% said they have been hit or nearly hit while walking or cycling;
54% worried about being hurt by traffic when out and about.
Brake deputy chief executive Julie Townsend said: "Everyone should be able to walk and cycle in their community without fear or threat: it's a basic right, and GO 20 is about defending that.
"The 2012 Games helped us all realise the importance of being able to live active lifestyles. Critical to this is making our streets and communities safe places we can use and enjoy. Anyone who drives can help bring this about."
She urged drivers to go at 20mph even in areas where 30mph was the official limit.
Ms Townsend went on: "We're also calling on the Government and more local authorities to recognise the need for 20mph limits."

|Cooler Master Cosmos II Computer Case
|Reviews - Featured Reviews: Cases
|Written by David Ramsey
|Tuesday, 03 January 2012
Page 7 of 7
Ultra Tower Case Final Thoughts
You can tell the market demographic Cooler Master's aiming at with the Cosmos II case when they call it an "ultra tower". This is a large, very expensive case with enough features to keep anyone happy.
Very expensive cases must be judged to a different standard than less expensive cases. On a less expensive case, I'd praise the multi-speed integrated fan controller, with power and LED connections for nine fans; here, I must criticize the huge mass of separate fan cables, which will be one of your greatest obstacles to a neat build. At this price I'd expect there to be more than one LED fan, and I'd expect all the case fans to be pre-wired. The Thermaltake Level 10 GT case has all of its fans pre-wired to the fan speed and LED controllers (although you can't add any more fans to the controller). A small printed circuit board "header" for all the fan connections would have been a much cleaner solution.
There are other misses: only the two hot-swap bays have SATA backplanes, and their oddly-long data cables mean you'll have to tie the extra length out of the way for your build. The lack of a 3.5" mount for one of the 5.25" bays will limit your choices in card readers and similar accessories.
The weight and size of the case will make moving it difficult for one person; and front-hinged design of the beautiful swing-out side panels, which open and shut with silky authority, mean that you'll need to remove the side panels if you need to get inside the case while it's on your desk or the floor. Rear-hinged panels would have been more convenient.
With three possible radiator mounting points (rear fan area, top fan area, and bottom of the case once the lower drive bays are removed), the Cosmos II is an excellent case for water coolers. The only potential downside is for those who prefer bay reservoirs: with only three 5.25" bays, space can be tight.
All that said, this is still a spectacular case, even with its flaws.
Cooler Master Cosmos II Conclusion
Although we strive for objectivity here at Benchmark Reviews, please remember that each author perceives these points differently, and our conclusions and recommendations will necessarily differ from others. Also, prices can fluctuate and designs change after publication, so that the product we review might not have the same price and specifications of a product that's available later. Please do not base any purchase solely on our conclusion, as it represents our product rating specifically for the product tested, which may differ from future versions. Benchmark Reviews begins our conclusion with a short summary of each of the areas that we rate.
Although the case is very large, it uses most of its space well, with room for thirteen 3.5" drives, two of which may be hot-swapped. I'd like to see more than three 5.25" bays, though. Being able to gracefully handle XL-ATX motherboards puts this case in an elite group.
Although the case is has the standard solid black color scheme that's so common these days, its size and dramatic styling make it stand out without appearing garish. Rather than the faux-military/industrial look adopted by some (including, I must add, all of Cooler Master's "Storm" series cases), the Cosmos II has a stark elegance.
As you might expect at this price, the quality of the case was impeccable, comparable to Lian Li, although the latter's ascetic design philosophy was obviously not something Cooler Master was interested in! The doors fit perfectly, despite being a lift-off design, and the various buttons and sliding panels excude precision and quality.
Functionally, the Cooler Master Cosmos II is a mixed bag: for every cool feature like the swing-open doors, auto-ejecting hot swap bays, and quad-channel fan controller, there are offsetting misses like the lack of a SATA backplane, only three 5.25" bays, and the immense tangle of wires from the fan controller.
At a suggested retail price of $349.95, this is very expensive case. If your rig will be built on an E-ATX or XL-ATX platform and you have lots of drives, it might be right for you...but even then, from a value point of view, it's hard to justify over much less expensive cases such as Cooler Master's own Storm Trooper.
+ Styling makes "all black" look good
- Very large. Very heavy. Very expensive.
Final Score: 8.8 out of 10.
Quality Recognition: Benchmark Reviews Silver Tachometer Award.

Cosmos 2 is a great case no doubt, but I feel it is a bit on the bulky side. HAF-X is a very good case itself. HAF-X to Cosmos-2 could be a good upgrade only if u plan to buy an XL-ATX board with 240/360 liquid rad cooling or use 3-4 graphics cards.
Overall, though, I think the Blackhawk Ultra would win in the cooling department: it comes with many more (and larger) fans than does the Cosmos II, and there's enough room to mount a thicker 3x120mm radiator at the top (or bottom, if you mount the power supply at the top) than the Cosmos II can handle.
In stock form the Cosmos II would probably be quieter due to its thick plastic side panels.
Either case is a great choice for high-end rigs; the Blackhawk Ultra gives you a lot more bang for the buck at the expense of a very pedestrian appearance.
"At the rear, things aren't as neat. The problem is the morass of fan wiring: with nine separate cables each for fan power and LED, plus a power connector, there are 19 fan-related cables to deal with."
That's another thing I'm at a loos to understand with such a huge case--why not bigger and less fans? This thing should have all 230mm fans in it, except perhaps for the CPU exhaust. Less fans also makes for a cleaner case, and a quieter case too.
I really like this case. Other than the Level 10 I think this is the best Cooler Master case I've seen yet. I would like to point out though that, although I really like the looks of this case, I don't particularly like the two large tubes running front to back on the top. I guess they're supposed to be handles, but I find they really look silly.
It's too bad they didn't put a window on the top half of the left side panel. I know some people don't like Windows, and I didn't used to like them either. However after spending so much money on my most recent build, and talking to some customers about it, I was swayed and purchased a window for my personal computer. I have changed my mind and can see why some people like windows so much.
Personally, I wish case manufacturers would get out of the fan controller business (or make them optional). I prefer a controller that has more data (like RPMs and temps) but I realize many people like built-in controllers and they cannot please everyone (also there may not be enough external bays in this case if one wanted an aftermarket fan controller). However, an expensive case with a poor fan controller does not look good on the manufacturer.
I also wish companies would start making a bay for slim DVD burners. With just a very small space in the PC for a slim drive, the front 5 1/4" bays could be used for more important things (especially considering there are so few of them in this particular case). I also don't understand why there is so much emphasis on hard drive bays these days. With drives being so big, I don't see many people with more than 4 drives. What is it, 13 drives? I think they may have given up a lot of other possible options for so many drive bays that most people wouldn't use anyway (options like more external bays, dedicated 2.5" bays and perhaps a space dedicated to mounting an internal res of some type since this is clearly aimed at the water cooling faction). I'm sure others could come up with more ideas.
However, this is a pretty sweet case and congrats to Cooler Master for putting so much effort into it.
A window in the side panel would require some work since the side panels are so thick, and comprised of multiple layers. But I'd like to see one too.
I wondered if the case would be better if all the upper 3.5" drive bays were removed and the space used for more 5.25" bays, leaving the lower 6 bays for 3.5" drives. Of course that would remove the option to use the lower bay area for a radiator. It's all about choices in configuration, and while I might not agree with all the decisions Cooler Master made for this case, at least you do have a lot of choices.
For the rig I am running this case was perfect.
Able to fit the biggest dual proc motherboard and multiple video cards without any space problems.
Needed tons of drives (old Cosmos I case only had like 7 total) so this worked as a good upgrade.
Cooling was great even with a ton of stuff in the case (supplemented with additional 120mm and 140mm fans (except on the door - too annoying to service). Not 'quiet' but well within tolerable levels.
Thanks again for the review.
Problems - you cannot use the bottom hard drive bays coz when you use them the cables from the power pack prevent to the door from closing.
I tried to put nearly every cable at the back, letting only 1 cable, the 24 pin cable, to infiltrate the area ( the top side of the motherboard )
A modular power supply helps, too.
It's like the SUVs that so many people use as daily drivers: on one hand, it can hold 5 kids and their soccer equipment and a weeks' worth of groceries. On the other hand it's a # to park and gets terrible mileage.
I'm getting ready for a major build to and I have a cool master H.A.F.
full size tower witch i love they work great and if I need new one 6.00 for a bag of 12

A middle schooler who thinks she has it all figured out finds herself tossed from 1 percent-ville to 99-percent-land in a cute new film in limited release called "The Greening of Whitney Brown." Sammi Hanratty plays the title character, a spoiled prep school princess who is elected school president on a platform that is all about throwing the biggest, best, and most expensive party. But then her father loses his job when his company goes bankrupt and her parents (Aiden Quinn and Brooke Shields) take her to a place in the country that is all they have left. Everything is old and broken, there's a horse that follows her around like Mary's little sheep, she gets no cell phone reception, and everything she thought she knew about what makes someone popular turns out not to apply in her new school.
Whitney has to start over more than once, especially after it turns out that the friend she trusted to watch out for her at her old school is more competitive and less loyal than she thought. As Whitney's parents begin to figure out a path to a new career out in the country, Whitney begins to understand that things she once thought were important don't matter and things she once dismissed without a thought are where the real value lies.

Encyclopedia article about legalized racial separation, which began in the 1890s when Georgia and other southern states passed a wide variety of Jim Crow laws that mandated racial segregation or separation in public facilities and effectively codified the region's tradition of white supremacy. The name "Jim Crow" refers to a minstrel character popular in the 1820s and 1830s, but it is unknown how the term came to describe the form of racial segregation and discrimination that prevailed in the American South during the first half of the twentieth century.

When it comes to getting on the best-dressed lists these days, an embossed invitation to a gala ball and a champagne glass are the status symbols of a bygone age. Wearing a pretty hat to Ascot and hoping to make it on to the style radar? Sweetie, you'd have better luck trying to swipe the Oyster machine with a Fabergé egg. To register on the modern fashion radar, you need a plastic beaker of vodka and tonic and an armful of coloured wristbands to wave in faux-nonchalant style at security when you saunter backstage at a music festival. These days, a Kate Moss or Beyoncé side-of-stage for their beau's headline set wearing a fedora can bump any feather-hatted royal off the front pages in an instant.
Right now, fashion – supposedly a bellwether for the mood of the moment – is facing directly upwind. While the rest of the nation obsesses over poshness – the election that started off as who's-got-the-most-photogenic-family having morphed into who's-got-the-least-mortifyingly-hooray-family-tree – fashion could not be less interested in looking well bred. The playing fields of Eton may be back in play as a political breeding ground to be reckoned with, but Ladies Day is marooned in the fashion backwaters. Instead, the social season is becoming ever more rooted in the democratic, back-to-basics environment of the festival. The 2010 season kicked off this weekend with Coachella, a kind of glam Californian Glastonbury full of characters from The Hills instead of "characters" from the Green Fields. The Bullingdon-esque bow tie – as sported by Carrie in the forthcoming Sex and the City 2 movie – was conspicuous by its absence. We bring you our first look at this year's up-and-coming festival trends.
Go figure: the shoes your art teacher used to wear in the summer term are now being sported by Alexa Chung. The espadrille, the wedge sandal's slightly square older sister, is having a Moment. The soft, sturdy sole makes them practical for all kinds of outdoor occasions, but be warned: they only work with a short hemline. Anything on-the-knee or lower and you look like you're on a sightseeing tour of some B-list Greek ruins rather than living the rock'n'roll dream. Note the rest of Alexa's outfit: playsuits should always be a bit breezy- looking, like this – tight is a bit Las Vegas. Also, the patron saint of cross-body handbags (Mulberry named their It "Alexa" bag after her) is, of course, rocking the trend here. Watch and learn.
Some fashion trends should come with a Don't Try This At Home sticker. This is not so much a fashion trend as a heavy-handed conscription conspiracy on the part of the world's fitness industry. This young lady looks perfectly peachy in them, of course, but this young lady is Whitney Port. If I may throw a rule of thumb out there: if you have to ask who Whitney Port is, then you are almost certainly insufficiently young and narcissistically shallow to have the thighs to wear them. Just saying. If you do, then be my guest – although please, stay out of my face. Shorts have been a festival staple for years, but this year's have got shorter. The charmingly monikered "poke" shorts – denim cutoffs so brief that the cotton pocket lining peeps out at the upper thigh – were a Coachella trend.
Statement sandals for men
Every summer, the festival fashion princesses fight over who gets to be BFs with HH, because no one out there gives good festival-boy like Henry. What other man is going to provide the perfect fashion foil for your cute outfit by wearing gladiator sandals? Who even knew gladiator sandals for men existed? Henry, if you ever have a plus-one going spare, hit us up, OK?
Student florals
The student floral is the on-trend flowery print for summer 2010. A student floral is the kind of flowery print, off-the-body little dress you find worn by twentysomething slackers with messy hair hanging out in pub gardens. Spriggy and slightly grungy, the 90s-esque student floral is printed small and sometimes looks as if the factory dyeing machine smudged a bit – if you can identify the type of floral, it's not a student floral. Wear with biker/boxing boots, a fringed cross-body bag and round sunglasses for the full young- Courtney Love look.
Circular sunglasses
Picking sunglasses "to suit your face shape" is for squares. This year, sunglasses should be round. Fact.
Hefty boots
You're not going to like this, but Converse are over. Victims of their own success, they have been kicked into touch by a new breed of fierce flat: the hefty boot, the cowboy boot, or the hi-top. Fashion blogs featuring endless galleries of "model photographed outside the MGMT trailer" type shots were big on those flat, lace-up boxing boots this year. Katy Perry wore some kind of insane boxing boot/gladiator sandal hybrid that we're still digesting. Oh, and one more thing, sorry – the only person at Coachella wearing ballet pumps was Paris Hilton. Ouch.
Boho jewellery
Last year was all about tongue- in-cheek ladylike jewels (pearls, cameo necklaces and lockets) but this summer, boho makes a comeback – check out Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's feather earrings, or anything in silver, turquoise, or beading. Astley Clarke report that anything in turquoise is flying out for summer, so shop fast.
Extreme manicure
Yes, peeps, that's right - there is now a Festival Manicure. From nudity-and-mud at Woodstock to this, huh?
