How did wedding planner make your day special?

She even bought me a gift, paid for a bottle of champagne and cheese tray for my new hubby and I after the wedding. The design team did a super awesome job on the decor. They had everything detail I asked for but with a whole lot of extras. She was truly amazing. She has a style that has such a wow factor-its great!
Useful suggestions, tips, wisdom your planner offered?
Its never to late to plan early! And that is so true.

She always had an answer for me, no matter how crazy the question, no matter how extreme my idea was, no matter the time of day-she always had the answer.
Value of a wedding planner?

pretty good remake

Rated 2 / 5 stars
Okay, it was a remake, so hence no style or brain power were required. However it was a pretty good remake. The music sucked. And the use of the English language...well it's not your strong suit buddy.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
this was a good game
i like this game but there are some things i dont like
1.in the game you'll see words like "are you selling?" whats with that?
2.the music gets old.
thats all i can think of for now. good game

Cricket world cup 1999
From heroic misery memoirs to the fans' eye view, it was a winning year for sports books, says Huw Richards
Pakistan captain Wasim Akram appeared to be heavily into denial. Incongruous tones of triumph filled his grateful voice as he looked out on his flock with a holy smile and middle-distant eyes.
When can an event surrounded by such hooraying hyperbole and lip-smacking anticipation have fallen so utterly, rock-bottom flat? The Pakistan supporter outside the gates who paid £800 for a single ticket soon after breakfast must have felt mugged long before teatime. The man who locked himself in the Lord's loo overnight but was ejected at dawn must have been mightily relieved. Their team froze - or more truthfully the Australians locked the Pakistanis in the fridge and tossed away the key.
Pakistan was in a state of shock last night after the crushing defeat of its team in the World Cup final.
When Steve Waugh was depicted on the eve of the final as wanting to win the World Cup for "millions of humble Australians", to many an English mind it invited the irreverent thought that he would have to spend an awfully long time looking for them.
Why, oh, why did he run? Has any utter and genuine Boys Own hero in all cricket ever turned in such a remarkable blink of an eye into the stooge and the clot as did Lance Klusener at Edgbaston yesterday evening? Has there, come to that, ever been such an astonishingly bizarre, as well as enthralling, end to a cricket match in all the history of one dayers, let alone in a World Cup semi-final?
Nobody deserved to lose this match. In fact nobody did lose it. But somebody had to go out of the tournament, and on the most technical of technicalities - net run-rate, stretching back to their very first match - South Africa were the unlucky ones. They have now played in three World Cups, proved themselves one of the best teams each time, and yet they have never reached the final.
This you could not make up. This was the stuff of dreams. This, of the many hundreds already played, may have been the greatest one-day international of them all.
The lime-green army is coming to Lord's. Pakistan brushed New Zealand aside with the minimum of fuss at Old Trafford, thanks to tight bowling and the highest opening partnership in World Cup history. Pakistan's varied attack managed to extract a little seam movement and spin from a good, brown pitch. New Zealand didn't have any spinners (if you discount Harris's allsorts) and their main seamer, Geoff Allott, had an off day.
It is a little more than five years since Brian Lara arrived in the Edgbaston dressing room to start his first season with Warwickshire and found a note pinned to a peg welcoming 'the second-best lefthander in the world'.
'So you're Australia's Lance Klusener then?', I proposed. 'You must be desperate for an angle,' responded Tom Moody with a smile. But it wasn't a completely ridiculous proposition. Moody has yet to be dismissed in this tournament while Klusener eventually succumbed on Thursday. Admittedly he's only played four games, but so far he's cracked 102 runs from 71 balls, usually batting down the order; it's a strike rate that not even Klusener can match. In between thumping sixes, he bowls late in the innings when the flak is flying and he scuttles around the outfield releasing howitzer throws from the boundary. Parallels galore.
In conditions more akin to Invercargill than a carnival New Zealand willed themselves into the semi-final of the World Cup by defeating India by five wickets with 10 balls to spare.
Despite the presence of an official ECB steel band, the carnival didn't really hit Headingley today. Everybody seemed to be recovering from a big night, but as usual there were exceptions.
Lance Klusener is the most important and least complicated member of this South African team. Of course, these matters are connected, because the South Africans suffer from an earnestness that can be contagious.
Yesterday, in his most practical and attractive fashion, Saeed Anwar obliterated any self-doubts while creating the kind of innings to end unease among Pakistan's supporters, and shaped the match beyond Zimbabwe's reach, writes David Foot.
Someone should explain to the good souls at Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club that those who fork out to watch cricket want to enjoy themselves. Admittedly, there has been little enjoyment for followers of English or Nottinghamshire cricket in recent years, but the Tannoy announcer's instruction to reduce the "excessive noise" was just dog-in-the-manger cussedness.
The sun was struggling to burn away the gloom when the voice of stiff-necked fuddy-duddyism boomed out with sad predictability. Would patrons at the Radcliffe Road End please be mindful of the fact that everyone's enjoyment of the game would be enhanced if they made less noise. Or some such drivel.
'MOTA-ALOO' read the banner which was briefly unfurled at The Oval on Friday. It translates as 'Fat Potato' and the reason it was only waved sporadically is that the man at whom it was directed does not take too kindly to the sobriquet. A year and a half ago in Toronto, Inzamam-ul-Haq requested a spare bat and entered the stand to deal forcibly with a man who called him 'potato' once too often: a case of the spud hitting the fan.

^Nah. The names getting thrown around are expensive and aging quickly (Gasol, Odom) or broken and immature (Bynum). If either NOH or ORL trade their centerpiece stars, they instantly go into rebuilding mode. Rebuilding teams don't need old, costly players. Not to mention those teams are only going to get two of those Lakers, and that is not equal to losing a player who is the best at their position. That's the problem with ESPN, they act like everyone is going to bow down to LAL and give them whatever they want and take garbage in return. The value of most Lakers is inflated because they are a part of that collective team, and have had Kobe and Phil. Take two of em and put them on another team, and they will quickly look very fucking average. NBA GMs are well aware of that.2 Weeks ago in Sports

And yall are fucking stupid if you think that Nets deal is going down. If we're just going to basically give D12 away, we might as well hold on to him for the season and let him go after. That possible Laker deal that's getting tossed around is fucking stupid too. Look for some serious activity in the next month regarding pulling another superstar to ORL. That might mean Josh Smith, or even throwing a lot at New Orleans in order to get CP3 in the hopes that it convinces both him and Dwight to resign.

The Iowa legislature has approved a bill allowing its citizens to join the rest of the country in filing fraud claims directly against liable corporations, rather than having to feed their lawsuits through the Attorney General's office. The bill is expected to be signed by Gov. Chet Culver.
The bill, HF 712, passed on Monday by overwhelming margins — 95-1 in the House and 48-1 in the Senate.
Iowa is currently the only state that prohibits its citizens from filing lawsuits directly against companies. As a result, the Attorney General's office is straining under a pile of backlogged lawsuits. The current Attorney General, Democrat Tom Miller, has been championing the legislation for almost 20 years, until now without success.
Indeed, to deal with the 4,000 to 5,000 currently proposed suits, the state would need to hire between 40 and 50 new staff attorneys, which it simply can't afford to do.
Still, while the bill will be a welcome change to Iowa's archaic system, it is not without its flaws. Iowans still will need to seek approval from the Attorney General to file class action suits, and the bill will not apply retroactively. This means that suits which have already been filed will still need to be handled by Miller's office.
Additionally, going forward, the Attorney General will still be forced to sift through every proposed class action and decide if he wants to sign off on it.
More disturbingly, the bill includes exemptions preventing suits against banks, attorneys, insurance provides, doctors, cable companies, veterinarians, and architects. These are big areas in consumer law, and many deal with relationships involving undue influence and unfair business practices against vulnerable individuals.
Certain consumer groups are already voicing concerns about the final state of the bill. In a press release, the AARP noted their "concerns with the number or industries exempted and shielded from action," and singled out the insurance industry, a prime target of defrauded seniors.
Still, Swaim, who also voiced disappointment with the exemptions, told the Des Moines Register that the areas that draw the largest number of complaints — car repair, home remodeling, debt collection, and mortgage brokering — do not need to go through the Attorney Generals office. "No one's getting off scot-free," Swaim said.
Opponents claim the bill will lead to "frivolous lawsuits," which is absurd given the sweeping limitations still placed on consumers and the fact that Iowa is currently alone in prohibiting consumers from filing fraud suits at all.
As Miller put it in a press release, "We have worked on passing this measure for many years ... Today is a great day for Iowa consumers." And he will no doubt be glad to get some of that paperwork off his desk.

I've found the students from the Postgraduate Certificate in Fashion & Lifestyle Journalism at the London College of Fashion to be some of the best, well-rounded graduates I've seen. They have a clear idea of what is expected of them, seem to relish all the challenges and responsibilities offered to them and by the time they leave, are well prepared for working in the magazine world."
Rebecca Lowthorpe, Editor of ELLE Collections
The PG Cert is a great preparation for future fashion and lifestyle journalists and editors. Practical and realistic, it's a really intense burst of up-to-the-minute training and advice."
Tamsin Blanchard, Style Director of Telegraph Magazine
The PG Cert graduates are our first port of call when looking for new talent to join our magazine. It's not just that their writing skills are great; they're also well-organised, pro-active, and have minds and opinions of their own, which we love."
Catherine Handcock, Publisher, Creative HEAD magazine
I loved that the course took a look at the fashion industry as a whole, and then gave me very specific training in all things journalistic. It was also amazing to be able to speak with and learn from incredible people in the industry. I also loved being able to choose what route most suited you - I have a particular interest in social media and tech, so being able to choose an online site as my major project and focus on magazines and social media for my research project was great."
Kristin Harris, Social Editor at Seventeen, New York
The course was intense and scary but I loved it. I had to be involved with my subjects – I had to immerse myself in whatever I was researching. Fifteen weeks is actually quite a long time if you have the passion and are prepared to immerse yourself in the subject. The PG Cert Fashion & Lifestyle Journalism actually teaches you to think in a different way."
Rinke Tjepkema, Deputy Editor of Vogue Netherlands
Having industry contacts come in to talk to us offered a huge insight into the profession and also the opportunity to make valuable contacts and arrange work placements - this is how I got my foot in the door at WGSN. I found the course is well respected with employers and certainly made my CV stand out."
Jo Marshall, Travel & Arts Editor, WGSN
On the PG Cert, we worked a lot on research and information gathering. It was both practical and theoretical and the tutors were a great help. Now, when I am in a brainstorming meeting, I can easily find good, relevant stories and sincerely thank this course for helping me to gain my position at Marie Claire."
Ching Lin, Managing Editor, Marie Claire Taiwan
When I moved to London, I had no previous work experience on a magazine or paper and a very academic style of writing. I received extensive one-to-one tuition, which enabled me to develop a good, journalistic style of writing. The most important thing I got from the course was a belief in my own ability as a writer and the confidence to go out and attempt to carve a career in the media industry."
Carrie McAdam, Fashion and Features Writer, Sunday Herald Scotland
I recall sitting in the Fashion and Lifestyle Journalism, PG Cert class at LCF, wondering how I was ever going to make it in such a competitive industry. A year later, I am interviewing every hip rock band and fashion designer in New York for Nylon Magazine. I can't imagine a better catalyst for my career."
Luke Crisell, Editor in Chief at Aritzia, New York
LCF equips its students with the skills they need to make it in one of the most competitive industries in the world. The ex-LCF students that we have worked with have all become invaluable assets to our team, and have moved seamlessly from students to valuable employees."
Taryn Ross, Editorial Director, Urban Junkies
The course, guided by professionals from the industry, helped me fall in love with journalism all over again. The whole experience was one I would never trade and sent me sailing into the office of Cosmopolitan Singapore, where I began my career as editorial assistant to the magazine as they launched their first issue. The course moulds you brilliantly to cater to the professional world, and although it targets a very specific industry, I felt my options grow much wider."
Anjali D'Mello, Digital Analyst at Social@Ogilvy, Singapore
The skills I learnt whilst on the course have since helped me secure a position in an industry I otherwise thought was impossible. From pitching content to interview techniques and also getting to grips with magazine technology, the course pushes you outside of your comfort zone and enables you to gain confidence in skills I use everyday. The support on offer during the course is next to none, the amount of one-on-one tuition I received was more than I experienced on my 3 year undergrad.

A Scoping Project: Refugee Child and Family Experiences of Resettlement in the ACT
Prof Morag McArthur, Vicky Saunders, Bronwyn Thomson
Funding Source:
ACU Faculty Linkage Grant, and the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs
The aim of this research was to scope the boundaries and possible methodologies of future research into refugee children and their families' experience of settling into Australian communities.
One of the major challenges facing the world today is protecting refugees who have been forced to leave their homes for fear of death or persecution due to either armed conflict or human rights abuses. This project sought to identify critical areas of vulnerability and resilience during this transition and the formal and informal processes that can transform risk trajectories into adaptive pathways. This was achieved by exploring refugee families' and children's lived experiences and by analysing how they were constructed and responded to as refugees.

Lally Finishes 32nd in Interstate Moving Services Ford at Texas
Denton, TX, (April 9, 2011) - Andy Lally drove the TRG Motorsports No. 71 Interstate Moving Services Ford Fusion to a 32nd place finish in tonight's running of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NASCAR) Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.
After successfully making it into the field on his qualifying time, Lally ran a calculated race that he deemed a successful first outing for the team's new Ford package. Unfortunately the team witnessed a few surprises which set them back in the order. The first was a blown right front tire on lap 92. That caused the team to pit and lose several laps. As the laps ticked away the No. 71 Interstate Ford Fusion and Lally got stronger and stronger. The Northport, New York native was running lap times comparable to the leader. Late in the race Lally reported a severe handling problem due to a tire imbalance causing a late race stop and more track position.
"The car got better as the race went on," Lally said. "The last couple of fuel runs I was really excited. I didn't have to try that hard to go fast. It felt like my road race car. I was able to get it into the corner and it would turn. It was a little free in the turns, but a comfortable free. The track came to us as the race went on. I was working with Paul (Clapprood, crew chief) on the adjustments and it kept getting better. We had a couple of unlucky breaks, like the blown right front tire. I was in the marbles and down to third gear just trying to keep it off of the wall without locking the tires. We had another tire issue on our second to last stop that really upset the handling and we had to come back in.
As frustrating as parts of the day were, I think we showed we had the pace to run with the top guys in the second half of the race and I was happy with that aspect. We came here with one car and half of a back-up car. Although the result doesn't show it I am excited to go to the next race knowing that we have a good car and it will only get better."
I think we showed we had the pace to run with the top guys...
Team owner Kevin Buckler had his team working hard all week to have a successful debut with their new Ford Fusion.
"What a week," Buckler said. "The guys put in nearly a weeks worth of work at the shop Monday and Tuesday to get the new Interstate Moving Services Ford Fusion ready for this race. We did not have all of the necessary parts on the car for our first race, but we made the switch over to the Ford Fusion. The Roush guys were great and helped to keep us out of trouble. We had a half built back-up car in the truck, so we had to rely on our rookie Andy to qualify on time and keep the primary car in one piece. He did an awesome job. In the race he and Paul had the set-up right and really nailed it at the end. As the sun went down the car and track came back and Andy was running lap times comparable to the front guys. The last two stints we were the class of the single car teams and working our way up. I thought it was a very positive first step with our new program. Our team has the greatest up-side potential of any team in the garage. As we build up our Ford fleet and our experience it will only get better. Our new partners at Interstate Moving Services really made this possible this weekend and we are looking forward to Talladega next weekend."
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will travel to Talladega Superspeedway for the Aaron's 499 to be run on Sunday, April 17.

The rift between Chris Froome, the reigning Tour de France champion, and his British Team Sky colleague Sir Bradley Wiggins has widened further after Froome claimed he saw signs of mental weakness in Wiggins during the latter's race to victory in the 2012 Tour.
Froome supported Wiggins in his win, but appeared to disobey orders when he pulled away on stage 11. He attacked the leaders but was called back when Wiggins struggled.
Froome, in an interview on BBC Radio 5 Live, said: "He probably would argue he was on his limits physically but I felt it was more a mental thing, that he switched off when he saw me going." When asked if it was a sign of weakness, Froome, 29, said: "Yes, it was to an extent."
Wiggins, now 34, went on to become the first Briton to win the Tour de France, but considered quitting the race due to Froome's actions, which also led to a falling-out between the pair. They claim to have settled their differences ahead of this year's tour, with Wiggins stating that he will be happy to play a support role for his team-mate, but the comments from Froome are unlikely to have a positive effect on the team.
In that fateful stage in 2012, Froome, who finished the tour second before winning it himself last year, had dragged his team leader Wiggins up with Vincenzo Nibali and Jurgen van den Broeck and dropped main rival Cadel Evans in the process, when he decided to pull away.
Froome said: "I thought he was stronger than he was at that point and that he could stay with other rivals when I attacked."
Froome and Wiggins will race in different warm-up events ahead of this year's Tour, which starts in Yorkshire on 5 July. Froome competes in the Critérium du Dauphiné from 8-15 June, a race he won in 2013, while Wiggins will race in the Tour of Switzerland from 14-22 June.Reuse content

Window Shutters- What You Need to Know
Window shutters cover your home's windows, and are indispensable in the construction and maintenance of the modern home. They are both aesthetic and functional, and the majority of them are categorized as interior or exterior shutters. Interior shutters function primarily to block out the sun, while exterior shutters often serve more than one purpose, with blocking out the sun one of those. This article will explore the different types of shutters and their function, so hopefully when you're out to buy the next shutters for your home you'll be armed with information to make the best purchase.
Types of Shutters and How They're Made
It's understandable if you are having a difficult time when trying to purchase your new set of shutters because there are simply tons of them. There a number of styles of shutters, not to mention the choice between interior and exterior shutters. For example, there are louvre shutters, which are set along the exterior and meant to fold over the windows; while, there are also shutters that serve a purely decorative purpose. If you are trying to find the perfect set of shutters, then click here to find out and see more.
Shutters can be decorative, but many are also functioning, which means they block out sunlight, storms, and snow. Some are even made to withstand the winds of hurricanes or tornadoes. These are generally placed on the exterior of the home. A combination of the two types, interior and exterior, can also be used, so that your shutters are decorative and functional.
Shutters are typically constructed out of wood, specifically Spanish cedar, Honduran mahogany, and Teak being the primary woods used. They are generally made resistant to the effects of moisture and wood pests through the use of tannins. Tannins absorb moisture and also act as insect repellents. Tannins are typically found in redwoods. Recently, shutters are being constructed out of fiber glass to ensure their durability. To find out more about the various types of shutters, their function, and durability, read this.

Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg
Minnesota's return to its roots as a power run team began the moment head coach Tim Brewster picked up the phone to call Tim Davis.
An accomplished offensive line coach for teams like USC and Wisconsin, Davis did things one way only, and that's exactly what Brewster wanted for the Gophers. Hired days after the regular season, Davis, who previously served on Nick Saban's staff at Alabama, made an instant impact on the Gophers' offensive linemen during their preparation for the Insight Bowl.
The full effect of his presence likely won't be felt until the 2009 season, as Minnesota shakes things up with a new offensive coordinator (Jedd Fisch) and a new philosophy. Fisch will call plays, but Davis will coordinate the rushing attack. It will be interesting to see how the two men work together.
I caught up with Davis earlier this week to discuss his vision for Minnesota and the outlook for the future.
Coach Brewster hired Jedd last month. How have those meetings gone so far?
Tim Davis: Jedd's been awesome. He adds a lot to it. I appreciate his experience and everything that he does. He's been good.
How close are you two in terms of offensive philosophy, background, what you look for?
TD: We're actually pretty close. They ran more of a power offense at Baltimore [Ravens] and then he also ran the zone offense at Denver [Broncos], and I've done both of those. So all the schemes and stuff like that are real close. What he does and what he says, it's all been pretty good. It's coming together nicely.
How much of the run game are you overseeing in those meetings, or is it more him and you're contributing?
TD: He kind of leaves it up to me, and then I draw from his experience and my experience and we're putting it together. He's obviously the offensive coordinator, so it's got to roll off his lips. He's got to be able to call it. I've got to be able to install the run, which I think is good for what we do and what we can do. And then he adds the real technical part of how to fit it in with the rest of the passing game. We're working together real good.
I tell him what I think we should run, he draws from his background, we tweak it over here, we tweak it over there, and then off we go.
How much of what you wanted to run were you able to install before the bowl game? I know you arrived at a bit of a strange time [late November].
TD: It was kind of tough. I put the whole thing in, and then I added to the [coordinator] who was already here, Mike [Dunbar]. And we changed a little bit from what they were doing. But it actually ended up being a little bit of each, what he was doing and what I was doing. What you can't do is put the kids into a situation where it's so new that they become the third-best thing about it. The coaches understand all of it, but you've got to make sure that the kids do. You'd love to jump in with both feet, and I'm one of those guys, but you have to temper that.
When did coach Brewster first approach you about the job?
TD: First he called Nick [Saban] and Nick came and talked to me and then he called me and I knew a guy that we both have a connection to. Hudson Hauck worked with me with the Miami Dolphins and Brew had worked with him with the San Diego Chargers. That's how Brew got my name. And then I talked to him and I immediately liked him on the phone. I immediately thought, 'God, I can coach for this guy.' He sounded like me. So I was really fired up, and I still am. He's brought a lot of energy to this program, and he's really easy to work for.
He talked about wanting to get back to what he was about, as far as the power game. Did you guys discuss that aspect?
TD: Exactly. I was all for it. I said, 'Hell yeah, what are you kidding? I'm all for it.' And partially because I really had never had a background in the other part, the spread part. It's a whole different philosophy that's been very successful. But it was fun to talk to a guy who had the same things that I had in mind.
It was somewhat of a dramatic change for Minnesota, going back to what the program had done for the early part of this decade on offense.
TD: His deal to me was, 'What can you bring to the table?' He had done extensive research on me, like he does for all of his guys. He calls head coaches, everybody. And he said, 'I know you've done this. Let's talk about it a little bit more.' And when I went there and talked to him, I figured, 'You can't get any better than this.' I was really excited.
I spoke to [guard] Ned Tavale in December about how the line's identity totally changed after you arrived. How did those first few practices go with the linemen?
TD: I told them when I first got here that it's like a job interview. I'm the new boss. This is what my expectation level is, and you're trying out for a new job. I told them, 'You have to put your best foot forward and do it every day.' I explained my philosophy and what I'm all about and then we have to have an identity. I can't hope to be who they were. I've got to be me. So what I do is tell them who I am and this is where we're going with this. I always speak up front with them. I don't try to B.S. them, because I don't want to be B.S.-ed.
I tell them, 'This is what we're trying to build here. This is what we can do. These are the things I expect.' And I don't count any past experience, or how they've been before. I start from square one because I don't know them unless I've worked with them face to face. I can watch them on tape, but it's a totally different system. When I put my hands on them, that's when I can get a good feel for them. That's how you find out what you've got.
You can see on tape what their effort level is, what they're being taught, and if they do that, that's right. But you can only do what you want to do by working with them in person.
With them having done things a certain way for a few years and now working in a totally different way, will it take a full offseason for your plan to really sink in?
TD: The timetable obviously is the first game in the fall. By that time, if we're not too sure, then we've got a problem. I think just from seeing them and seeing the way they're working, they're real hard workers, especially Ned. They want to do well. What happens is, the older players you have that have been in the system, the harder it is for them to change. The easy ones are the young guys. You can change those guys.
I'm lucky because I've got all young guys. Had I been here and it was all old guys, now it's a problem. That's just my personal experience. But they're all young. A lot of them, it was like working with a brand-new guy. You have to break down what they have to do, break down what the technique is, break down what they're trying to do and then add that to the philosophy of what you're trying to teach. And then from there, it's good. Everything picks up.
It's good to get the energy in there. It's good to get all the terminology in there. It's good to have all that stuff as soon as yo
u can, so you can use it day to day. And then hopefully, by Syracuse the first day, you'll be good.
A lot of offensive linemen tell me they like the power run, they like going forward instead of backward. Is this an easy sell for you, this style of play?
TD: No question. There's a few of them that had been here before they put [the spread offense] in. They had been to a point where they ran zone and they ran power and they were downhill. Some of them came from running that in high school. It's an easy sell because now you can put everything on the backs of the offensive linemen, have them create ownership of the offense. That's what you do when you're a tough, hard-nosed type of a deal.
I'm not saying the spread doesn't do that, but in the spread, you take it out of the hands of the guys up front and you put it in the hands of the guy with the ball, which is the quarterback. It's a lot like the option was back in the day. So how good is that guy? With ours, we put more of an identity on the [linemen] we've got. 'OK, this is what we're running, this is what they're running, now we've got to get two yards.'
You've coached at a lot of prominent places. Is this a tougher challenge in the sense of having to change an entire system, as opposed to teams like Wisconsin that used the power run?
TD: A little bit, but not so much. You've got to get guys that believe, and we've got that. We've got guys that believe and they want to be good. It just takes a little time to install all of that. And then you have to recruit to what you're trying to do, maybe a bigger guy. But the kids here now, shoot, they're buying into it. They bust their [butts] and they work hard and they'll do what you want them to do. You've just got to clarify what you're trying to do, make the rules easy, and they'll buy into it.
Because they can see it. They can see the success in front of them. And by success, I mean showing up every day, doing this, this and this and then you're going to get here. And then you have the other coaches on your staff doing what you want to do. That's what Jedd brings to the table, along with the rest of the guys on offense. We're all thinking the same and talking the same.

Blogs HNN NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS: OUR APPEASEMENT AND MSM SILENCE IS KILLING USJun 29, 2006 2:24 am
This REFUSAL of the press to mount a HUGE OUTCRY is GETTING US KILLED. . . . If they'd all come out in unison and HOWLED THEIR DISGUST, it might have quelled the riots and shamed the Muslims into ceasing this obscene behaviour. As it is, Muslims see nothing is going to happen to them for howling and they are going to up the ante. The REAL STORY IS THE PRESS REFUSAL TO COVER THIS. WHY?
Now, oh, my God, the machetes have come out. Remember Rwanda? Christians again are murdered (not by Muslims!) in their churches.
You really want to cry? The poor Christians apparently knew what was coming and tried appeasement and not only by burning Danish flags. On Feb. 3, the BBC reported:
Nigeria's Christians back Muslims
An umbrella Nigerian Christian body based in the majority Muslim north has condemned the publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad.
Now they realize that it was the wrong move, as their appeasement has been interpreted as weakness. Indeed, the cartoons are used to further the goal of turning Nigeria into an Islamic state. The Nigerian Anglicans statement includes the following statement.
From all indications, it is very clear now that the sacrifices of the Christians in this country for peaceful co-existence with people of other faiths has been sadly misunderstood to be weakness.
We have for a long time now watched helplessly the killing, maiming and destruction of Christians and their property by Muslim fanatics and fundamentalists at the slightest or no provocation at all. We are not unaware of the fact that these religious extremists have the full backup and support of some influential Muslims who are yet to appreciate the value of peaceful co-existence.
That an incident in far away Denmark which does not claim to be representing Christianity could elicit such an unfortunate reaction here in Nigeria, leading to the destruction of Christian Churches, is not only embarrassing, but also disturbing and unfortunate.
It is no longer a hidden fact that a long standing agenda to make this Nigeria an Islamic nation is being surreptitiously pursued. The willingness of Muslim Youth to descend with violence on the innocent Christians from time to time is from all intents and purposes a design to actualize their dream.
Remember never again? Do you believe that only the victims of disease, famine and Western"imperialism" deserve your attention?
Update: Christians are retaliating.

As usual, Klinghoffer displays an enormous arrogance and an even larger ignorance of events in Africa. As evidence she uses posts by anonymous readers and stories in the western press. Judith: religion operates in Nigeria within a constellation of identities, and, like 'tribal' conflict, religious conflict is often a cover for other issues like economics. Please don't ignorantly cover these stories in ways that promote misunderstandings.

Nabil Ahmad - 2/21/2006
I lived in Nigeria for 11 years. I grew up in the south-eastern part of that country which is predominantly Chistian. And even though I took my share of lumps for being a Muslim, I have nothing against those people. We wre just kids.
The cartoon protests are a waste of time and a disgrace at the best. But there is no excuse for Muslims to be murdering Christians. Any Muslim who commits such an act should be put to death. And I can say this freely as a Muslim.

You mentioned the killing of Christians in Rwanda. The killers were all Christians or animists. It was not a religious coflict but an ethnic one.

An overlooked trend is underway in the gig economy as on-demand platforms try to attract and to retain the best service providers so they can offer excellent experiences for customers. The most common structure of these two-sided platforms — and the most familiar structure thanks to services like Uber, Lyft and TaskRabbit — is to use 1099 contractors to keep the provider side fluid enough to scale with growth on the customer side. But a number of emerging companies are choosing to make their providers W-2 employees.
While debates over categorization and legal issues get most of the attention and explain some of these decisions. Those were explored at length in a fascinating essay in Salon by organizational psychology researcher Berhard Resch, who noted that gig economy lifestyle, "may be embraced by young bohemians, single mothers or pensioners who want to earn an extra dollar, but critics fear that insecure wages, the loss of social security and permanent competition wield pressures to most. After all, in this model companies owe nothing to their workers but a paycheck."
Meanwhile, many of the companies voluntarily making the switch — or choosing to establish their providers as employees from the start — are doing so not because of the legal issues but because it makes sense for their business model. Making sure providers are empowered to succeed is mission critical for every on-demand company, and for some kinds of companies, that means working with them as employees.
Related reading: Keep Your Contractors Happy with These 6 Retention Tips
One example is the on-demand child care platform Trusted. Their providers have been employees from the beginning, a decision CEO Anand Iyer told me in an interview for an article I wrote about provider retention. (Disclosure: I work for SchoolKeep, which builds software that many on-demand companies use to train providers, both contractor and employee.)
"Employing them and doing whatever we can to ensure they feel like they're growing with the company was the best way to ensure that they're going to be successful," Iyer says. This success of providers — and the increased retention — aligns with Trusted's overall strategy, which he calls the "managed marketplace" model.
In short, in exchange for some of the flexibility that the independent contractor approach allows, they work to develop their employees and use that as a strategic advantage to grow the customer side of the platform.

And Trusted isn't alone. An increasing number of on-demand companies, like Managed By Q, an office cleaning provider, are launching with the employee model. Others, like the valet parking services app Luxe and elder care provider Honor, have transitioned from the contractor to the employee model in the past year or so.
Another model is to use both contractors and employees like the ride-share company Juno. Though it's platform and model are still in development, Fortune Magazine reports that drivers who are exclusive with Juno can become employees and that drivers using multiple ride-share platforms can work with them as 1099s.
As the space gets more crowded, these companies are hoping to create a better experience for their customers by attracting — and retaining — top quality talent, raising the bar with employee training and creating trust for both customers and employees by centralizing their operations.
Investing in provider success yields retention
Office management company Managed by Q decided from the beginning to hire their providers. "We really wanted to reward performance, to train and nurture people," co-founder Dan Teran told Bloomberg. Because W-2 employment allows the company to provide stable incomes, benefits and promotions, the company is able to nurture long-term relationships with its providers.
Shyp, a package delivery company, switched from the contractor model to the W-2 employee model for its couriers in July 2015 for many of the same reasons. As Shyp's CEO, Kevin Gibbon wrote on the company's blog, "We want to continue developing relationships with our couriers, empowering them to take on increasing amounts of responsibilities in each market."
Companies are also offering employees perks: Trusted has a tuition reimbursement program, so their providers, many of whom are nursing students, can continue their education, and Managed by Q has a $2 million insurance policy for its handymen. Juno is reserving half its founding shares for drivers.

Developing that relationship has the twofold benefit of creating a more supportive working environment for the employee, while reaping returns in loyalty for the companies, who are able to develop talent.
As Honor's CEO Seth Sternberg wrote on Medium earlier this year, "It's not enough for Honor to create technology that helps make people's lives better, we also have to create jobs that make people's lives better."
Investing in training provides a better customer experience
Honor isn't just invested in improving the lives of their providers (who they call Care Pros). The employee model allows them to offer additional training so that the provider side of their platforms are better able to take care of clients with conditions like Alzheimer's, dementia and diabetes.
Training was also a large reason Luxe converted its independent contractors to employees in July of 2015. CEO Curtis Lee wrote on Luxe's blog: "As we grow, we have realized the need to assert more direct control over the customer experience and provide our valets with career development opportunities and benefits – none of which are possible within the boundaries of the 1099 model."
And that better experience will lead to increased business. When drivers feel good about working for the company, they'll treat riders better, Juno CEO Talmon Marco told Crain's. "Our cost of getting riders is going to be lower [than competitors']."
Centralizing operations creates trust with both consumers and employees
The trend toward centralization is particularly strong in industries that require more trust, like child or elder care. That's understandable on the customer side, but Iyer says it is just as important on the provider side. After surveying hundreds of parents and providers about what was lacking in the childcare industry, "trust kept coming up with every single survey from providers," he says.
"These can be really scary situations for them, too. As parents, we aren't necessarily good managers of our caregivers. There's no rule book that exists for that and no one's taught you how to do that."
Honor is another company where trust is paramount. By making their Care Pros employees, they're able to have more centralized control over hiring, training and conflict resolution, reassuring customers that their parents will be well taken care of.
Increasing investment in employees leads to success on both sides
The costs of using W-2 employees are greater — which can put strain on startups whose business models are built around the 1099 contractor model. (For example, Shyp recently laid off 8% of their employees.) But for some on-demand companies the way to ensure success for their providers and therefore for the company, working with them as long-term employees makes sense.
At this point, the trend seems like it will continue to grow. As Honor's CEO writes, "We're hopeful this change will not only empower our Care Pros but also inspire other Silicon Valley startups to follow suit and move the sharing economy toward a more caring economy that truly benefits its workers."

SAO PAULO (AFP) – The growing scandal engulfing Brazilian oil giant Petrobras hit the ruling Workers' Party close to home Thursday as its treasurer was detained over allegations of involvement in a multibillion-dollar kickback scheme.
Joao Vaccari Neto, the treasurer of President Dilma Rousseff's party, was temporarily held for questioning in a corruption probe that has drawn in a number of politicians – including members of the ruling coalition.
"We want information on the cash donations he requested, legal or illegal, from people who had contracts with Petrobras," prosecutor Carlos Fernando Lima told a press conference.
But he said it was "still very premature" to determine exactly what role Vaccari played.
Vaccari was questioned for several hours at federal police headquarters in Sao Paulo before being released.
Brazilian media reports say suspects arrested in the investigation have told police that Vaccari funneled illicit cash from Petrobras to the Workers' Party (PT).
The oil firm's former engineering chief, Pedro Barusco, reportedly told investigators that the ruling party received between $150 million and $200 million skimmed off the 90 largest Petrobras contracts from 2003 to 2013, and that Vaccari "participated" in the scheme.
Vaccari's lawyer said his client "welcomed the opportunity… to demonstrate the countless inaccuracies published by the press in recent months."

Director Prabhu Deva has already been working with actor Sonu Sood in Kumar Taurani's Ramaiya Vastavaiya. Looks like the actor has impressed Prabhu Deva so much that he has been cast in his forthcoming project, Namak, alongside Shahid Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha.
The film is set to go on floors next year and Sonu is set to play the antagonist of the film. Apparently, it was during the shooting of Taurani's film in Pune when Prabhu Deva discussed the role with Sonu, following which the latter agreed.
The director is more than happy to have a sincere actor like Sonu around, claims a source.

Hope Solo is making her way back onto the pitch and back onto good terms with the public — at least for now.
Solo issued a public apology to her fans and colleagues Thursday ahead of her expected return to her professional club and expressed optimism the fourth-degree domestic violence assault charges against her will be dropped.
"I understand that, as a public figure, I am held to a higher standard of conduct," Solo wrote on Facebook. "I take seriously my responsibilities as a role model and sincerely apologize to everyone I have disappointed."
Solo was arrested Saturday for allegedly assaulting her 17-year-old nephew and his mother, her half-sister, while intoxicated at a family gathering.
"I love my family dearly," Solo's statement continued. "We, like all families, have our challenges but my sincere hope is that we are able to resolve this situation as a family. Adversity has always made us stronger and I know this situation will be no different."
The statement added: "Due to pending legal issues, I cannot comment further at this time. However, I am confident in the legal process and believe my name will be cleared."
After pleading not guilty and being released without bail Monday, Solo will be available to rejoin Seattle Reign FC, the club announced Thursday. Under a judge's orders, she is not allowed to contact the alleged victims or drink alcohol. A pretrial hearing is set for Aug. 11.
The undefeated Reign FC hinted though Solo is returning to training, a guilty verdict could affect her standing with the club.
"Hope will attend and participate in all training sessions this week and will be available for selection in Saturday's 6 pm home match against Sky Blue FC," the club said Thursday in a statement on their Facebook page. "It is our sincerest wish that the outcome of the legal process clears Hope of any wrongdoing. Should that not be the case, we will take the necessary and appropriate action at that time, in a manner consistent with the values and beliefs of our organization."
Reign FC's statement comes one day after U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati told reporters the federation would be contacting Solo "in the next 24 hours" to discuss the arrest and declined further comment. Solo is the starting goalkeeper for the U.S Women's National Team.
Reign FC said the club conducted their own investigation and spoke with Solo several times about the incident.
"This investigation, which has included multiple conversations with Hope, made it clear that there are differing perspectives on the events that led up to Hope's arrest," the statement said. "As such, we feel it is fair and prudent to await the outcome of the legal process before making a final judgment about the incident."
"That being said, it should be understood that we hold all of our players, coaches, and employees to the highest ethical and moral standard. In the event any Seattle Reign FC player is convicted of a serious crime the consequences will be significant and swift."
Reign FC managed to keep their season-long 13-game unbeaten streak alive without Solo last Sunday, beating the Western New York Flash on the road, 2-1. Reign FC host New Jersey's Sky Blue FC at 9 pm ET Saturday.
She's nuts.
That's it, huh?
Alex H
Sounds like a completely un-nutty statement to me.
My thought is cut the woman some slack. The things that make stars "nuts" are also often the things that make stars such lyrical performers.
Michael F..
Who cares, she's hot.
+1. What a train wreck. Sounds like she has even ordered to stay off the booze. Stay classy, Solo.
William the Terror
She should divorce her current spouse and hook up with Luis Suarez. Imagine the drunken, angry, violent spawn of that relationship.
Andy in Atlanta
Why? He is also a loser of epic proportions…. and a freak of an athlete…
NC Jeff
Everyone has their rock-bottom that they may have to drop to in order to rebound. I hope this is hers and she rebounds personally and professionally to where she could be. Some of this sounds like she was abused as a child … have there been any confirmations of such?
Matt C
I recall reading about her past. Rough childhood. I think (think) her dad had legal issues…parents divorced…grew up on the other side of the tracks so to speak. That was some of the tude she brought to the USWNT…and she wasn't into the suburban-slumber-party atmosphere that dominated the team. She was there to win; she didn't join a sorority. I
I don't think you'll find her donning tutus and dancing in vines with Alex Morgan.
Yes, but whatever led her to marry Jerramy Stevens points to some serious personal issues and brings into question any good sense she might have..
So the "investigation" was interviewing Solo multiple times? That's not much of an investigation, to say the least. No indication the team reviewed the information gathered by the police (although it had a PR person at the hearing). And the fact that Solo's version of the events didn't match that of her family and other witnesses is evidence of nothing.
Also no punishment for Solo for missing a team flight (and therefore a match). I find that shocking.
Diego's Maradoughnuts
Read it again. It says it included interviews with Hope Solo. It did not say it consisted soley of interviews with Hope Solo. They likely inquired about the Police information, but outside of the arrest report (which they would have certainly procured as it takes a few moments at costs about 10 bucks), what would you have them do? Probably the police would tell them it's none of their business. And they'd be right,.
You might also have a look at the operating budgets of these teams. Tiny. Miniscule. This is not the NFL, where they put a team of 80 people and lawyers on every suspected DUI some WR's cousin gets pulled over for
Innocent until proven guilty is still a meaningful concept here — and one that can get Reign in serious trouble if they are wrong and mete out punishments based on incorrect assessments. Organizations with billion dollar budgets sometimes do things differently (1) because they can afford to conduct them – and even be wrong because (2) they have a lot to lose by not getting in front of the situations. Reign FC have no reason to blow their tiny budget on this. Let the justice system do the work on their own dime, and then decide if you need to mete out internal punishment based on their findings
This is just a conspiracy cooked up by the English press and their anti-Hope Solo bias.
No way around it this time. She should never wear the NT uniform ever again.
Alex H
What if she is cleared of all charges?
I hope that my sarcasmometer is broken and that you're just joking. Most of us have makes mistakes.
Domestic violence is serious–I've been one of the biggest Hope critics around–people do things that they wish that they hadn't and if she is found guilty or pleads no contest then she still deserves an opportunity to wear the jersey again after she gets herself together.
Diego's Maradoughnuts
I agree. I think it is pretty harsh to cripple a person in their professional world But i
t is not a place to give her a hall pass. She is wandering into a place where it is hard say this isnt pattern behavior
She is a big piece of our brand and she has chosen in large part to make herself a public figure– she is accountable for to US Soccer and US Soccer clearly wants to help. But she should expect a short leash from them if she remains interested in being involved with the team. :People are rightly sensitive to domestic violence and her best move is to be pro-active about really cleaning this business out of her. She will be offered the best resources available– why not accept them? It is not easy to change patterns but everybody respecs growth, I hope she gets to a better place with this so they don't have to be such a big stain on her otherwise excellent CV.
at least womens football is in the news
Not even. NBC Sports headline "Jerramy Stevens Wife Arrested for Assault"
Oh man…
Sure, but context. How would Ives refer to Nomah Gahciapahah if he were arrested on DV charges?
Give her a break – at least she didn't bite anyone
Wow, I had forgotten about her husband, Jerramy Stevens' criminal doings. (He mostly managed to stay out of jail, but it baffles me how.) Rape, assualt, multiple DUIs and just a whole bunch of worse than unsavory things. That is who Hope married, it raises a whole host of questions best left to those who deal with criminals or severely disturbed people and why others give them a pass.
D. Carter
Solo is a tiger on the field. I believe, Hope Solo will lead her magnificent team to the USWNT's 3rd World Cup Gold Medal in 2015. As a four-time All American; two time Olympic Gold Medalist, she will far exceed the record for the most shut-outs in history of the sport. Hope Solo is THE premier keeper; the best the world has ever known. That dedication; that passion; that power does not fall from the mundane, every-day, average tree. No, that kind of unmatched, #1, elite performance, wile, and world-class renown is it's own beast, a one-of-kind breed; she is an AMERICAN! One of US! #onenationoneteam #1Hope #ourhope #USA

80th Birthday Party Ideas
By Editor | November 8, 2012
80th birthday is perhaps a great significance in a person's life. In order to celebrate this big day, there are various ideas available and it will certainly be a memorable day for everyone.
Turning 80 years old is an accomplishment that deserves to be recognized and celebrated in in an extra special way. Plan a big birthday party for the person who is reaching this major life milestone. The party should be respectful and honour the person's long life, with children, grandchildren, and friends participating if possible.
To make the party nostalgic, ask guests on the invitation to dress up in costumes that reflect the era that the person grew up in or the decade when she was born. For instance, if she was born in the 1930s, you could have a 1930s Hollywood theme, and guests could wear shimmery dresses and tuxedos that were popular during that time period. Or if she was in high school in the 1940s, you could turn the party into a 1940s-themed prom night, asking guests to come in 1940s prom styles. Include examples of outfits and tell guests that if they can't find anything from the era specified, they are welcome to wear any formal wear that they have.
You can decorate this party with memorabilia from the decade in which the person was born or while he was a teenager growing up. You can visit antique shops, thrift stores and vintage clothing stores to get memorabilia suitable to the decade. You may decide to depict vintage mementos from the Great Depression era; WWII for the history buffs or even display vintage album covers and play old songs by Chuck Barrie and Elvis Presley from the '50s era. Consider having everyone dress in period costumes for this special occasion. Choose balloons, table linens and banners that fit the theme.
In addition, decorate the tables with tablecloths in the 80-year-old's favourite colour. The centrepieces could be a large framed photo of the person in a particular stage of her life. Each table should have a different photograph, surrounded by candles and flowers. Have the frames engraved to say "80 Years of Love," or "80 Years Young."
You can also create a slide show that shows pictures of the person's life from when she was a child to the present. Include pictures of important milestones such as marriage and the birth of children and grandchildren. If you have any video clips of her, incorporate those into the video as well. At the end of the slide show you could have video clips of friends and family wishing her a happy 80th birthday and saying what she has meant to them.

Full-time from The Den
Millwall's miserable record against Birmingham City continued as goals from Clayton Donaldson, David Cotterill and Wes Thomas made it 15 games without a win against the Midlands side.
Donaldson (32mins) and Cotterill (40mins) put Lee Clark's men firmly in the driving seat, but a second-half fight-back by The Lions saw Lee Gregory reduce the arrears eight minutes into the second-half. Birmingham withstood some intense Millwall pressure before Thomas put the game beyond reach with a decisive third goal with six minutes left.
Lions boss Ian Holloway had threatened to shake things up following Saturday's lethargic display in the 2-1 defeat at Huddersfield. He was true to his word and made three changes to his starting XI, with Gregory handed his full Championship home debut alongside Mathias Ranegie, recalled up front in a diamond formation that saw Shaun Williams sit in front of the back four, Ed Upson and Jimmy Abdou take care of the left and right side of midfield and Scott McDonald sit at the top of the diamond, just behind the front two.
Right-back Justin Hoyte returned to make his first League start since Boxing Day to complete the trio of changes as The Lions looked to bring a disappointing run of one win in eight games to a halt. Aiden O'Brien was also rewarded for his promising performances for the U21s with a place on the bench.
The Lions started with real purpose and twice tested the visiting defence in the opening two minutes. There were just 34 seconds on the clock when a long ball from Scott Malone was headed on by Ranegie into the path of McDonald who drove narrowly wide from 16 yards. Moments later Hoyte's inviting delivery from the right was met by the head of Ranegie, but his effort sailed over the bar.
Birmingham responded and right-back Paul Caddis did well to weave his way into the penalty area before driving a low cross-shot across the face of goal and out for a throw-in on the opposite flank.
Ranegie was a whisker away from breaking the deadlock for Millwall in the 11th-minute, meeting Malone's delicious delivery with a diving header that flew a fraction wide of the upright. Gregory then did well to intercept the ball just inside the Birmingham half and played in Malone, however the left-back's cross was a tad too close to keeper Darren Randolph and he comfortably collected.
McDonald then stabbed agonisingly wide of the target from close-range from Ranegie's knock-down just past the half-hour mark with the best chance of the game.
That proved to be a costly miss and with a rare attack at the other end, Lee Clark's men stunned The Den faithful with the opening goal that was as simple as it was damaging. Cotterill was allowed time and space to work his way into the danger zone and picked out Donaldson who swept home from close range.
It went from bad to worse for The Lions five minutes before the break when Cotterill's 25-yard free-kick evaded a five-man wall and nestled into the bottom corner beyond the reach of keeper David Forde to make it 2-0.
Birmingham could have added a third just 60 seconds later when Cotterill's rising shot was plucked out of the air by Forde as The Lions looked decidedly rocky.
The home crowd left the team in no doubt as to their feelings when the half-time whistle blew, and it was evident when Birmingham's second goal went in that changes were going to be made.
Facing a second-half mountain to climb, Holloway replaced Hoyte and Upson with Richard Chaplow and O'Brien in a bid to get an early foothold back in the game. That so nearly happened just four minutes after the restart when Chaplow's cross was headed over by Gregory and then O'Brien's acrobatic effort flew over the bar.
However it didn't take much longer for The Lions to reduce the arrears when a super bit of play by O'Brien picked out Gregory, and he finished with aplomb for his first ever Championship goal. The goal finally give the home crowd something to cheer about and renewed belief that the final result was anything but a foregone conclusion.
Roared on by the home fans The Lions piled forward and twice spurned great opportunities to level, first when Gregory met Chaplow's delivery and headed straight into the arms of Randolph and then centre-half Mark Beevers saw his powerful header from Williams' free-kick held by the keeper.
Ranegie's stooping header from Malone's delivery landed on the roof of the net with what proved to be the striker's last contribution of the night on 68 minutes and he limped off to be replaced by Fuller just seconds later.
Millwall continued to prise and probe looking for the leveller and it took a smart save by Randolph to deny Williams, blocking the midfielder's fierce drive at his near post.
Fuller used his power and strength to to shrug off a couple of challenges as he burst into the penalty area, only to blaze horribly over the bar with Randolph alone standing between him and goal glory.
Birmingham did well to absorb the pressure and seemed content to try and hit The Lions on the break, and it was from one such counter-attack on 84 minutes that they grabbed the decisive third, killer goal. Cotterill was again involved, this time receiving the ball on the left and picking out Thomas, who made no mistake with a crisp finish.
It took a splendid fingertip save by Randolph to push Beevers' bullet header over the bar and Williams header clipped the foot of the post as The Lions looked for an instant response, but that was about as good as it got with Birmingham's two-goal cushion never really seriously threatened after that.

Hi, looks like you have developed balanitis... you should keep your penis clean by washing it with warm water once a day. You should also try to avoid potential irritants, such as soap, bubble bath.. If your balanitis is the result of skin irritation and not an infection, you will usually be prescribed a topical corticosteroid (steroid cream or ointment)... If your balanitis is the result of a fungal infection, you will be prescribed either an antifungal cream .. If a bacterial infection is the cause of your balanitis, you will be prescribed a seven-day course of an oral antibiotic..Consult Surgeon for further evaluation and treatment...
