Please leave your feedback on my pups temperament...
Hey Everyone! I've never had a Boxer pup before so Im not sure if this is typical boxer temperament... so please give me your input.
I screened the litter (at day 49) for a medium energy, human attentive, dog that would be well suited as a service animal.... only problem was the litter had THREE candidates- All three of the girls were very mellow, loved human interaction, and just PERFECT...
Fast forward a few weeks later- Lily is 10 weeks- comes when called, sits on command, will play and be in the middle of something and stop and come on command... she is SUPER mellow with the kids, great with the kitten and just PERFECT. She has qualities I cant put my finger on... but having a service animal before- I know she's going to ROCK IT!
From the sound of it- her twin sister, Lani, adopted last week, maintains the same disposition.
This breeder has been praised for her litters intelligence and obedience... I thought in getting a boxer I'd be dealing with a more jumpy, hyper, excited puppy... but Lily is just quite the lil lady!
Are these behaviors typical of a boxer puppy? I ask because I think this is going to be the last litter and if this is unique I am seriously thinking of buying the other female boxer pup!
OH! And if any of you are interested... I started a scrapbook website to chronicle our journey from puppy to certified service animal. Because I am a first time boxer owner- I'd love training tips and input from all my boxer peeps! Please leave your comments on the pics and share your stories!
Heres the link- let me know what you think.

Lily is absolutely adorable!!! As for "normal" boxer behaviour... is there such a thing? lol They are like people - each having their own personalities and exhibiting boxer traits. Enjoy your girl, she seems to be a total sweetheart!

Lol! So very true!! They have a way of working themselves into your heart. I've never experienced this with any other dog I've ever owned!
Then you have the things they all do like wiggling their bums, woowooing and being silly. They are so much fun!

I really don't think there is a "normal" when it comes to puppies of any breed. Just like there's no normal when it comes to human babies. They all have their own personalities which makes them all unique.
Riley sounds like he was a lot like Lily. He was a very mellow boy for most of his life.
Mason was more active, but ironically it wasn't until he got older that his energy REALLY kicked in. Now at 9.5 years old we still have our hands full with that one from time to time.
Logan is a meathead. He's a very goofy boy, but he's also sweet and cuddly when he wants to be. He's well mannered, well except for when we're eating food (we're still working on that one). I think he'd be much to bouncy for any kind of service work.
Abby is a sweetheart. She has TONS of energy outside, but when she's inside she's pretty calm. She'll play, but it's like she can flip the switch and relax when she's inside. She's still a little shy, but is coming around. I think with training she'd make a great candidate for service work.
As for your decision on getting another puppy. Just keep in mind that two puppies means twice the work in training and also twice the expense. They'll entertain each other when you're not right there which may be a plus for as well. I personally think two puppies that young would be too much for me to handle. I have Logan right now who's over 1 and Abby who's about 5 months. Just those two are a handful at times.
One other thing to really think about is that female/female pairings can sometimes have some serious problems when they mature. They may get along fine for years and then all of a sudden fights can break out and they can be serious. I'm not trying to scare you, but definitely do some reading on that aspect too. If for nothing else, if you do decide to get her you'll be ahead of the game with a plan just in case they do start fighting down the road.

Nikki is very calm too but she has her "wild" moments. She will be a year in February and I will be getting another female... Fully expecting my house to become upside down but hoping I'm a little wrong lol. I had 2 pups... Not boxers.. And it is a lot of work. They were 4 months apart and when one woke up so did the other wanting to play and I was walking my dogs in the middle of the night hoping to get more sleep before work. They wound each other up and it was hard to wind them down. After a couple years of hell I ended up with 2 dogs that loved each other and very closely bonded. I lost the youngest last month and the older one really grieved She seems to be getting better and isn't off in her own as much anymore, although I've been really working at getting her out and about. It's been 10 yrs and I still remember how much work it was. When I first got Nikki I wanted a second too but decided against it. The first one wasn't fully trained and a second made it worse. I guess it all depends on how much help you will have too. I'm hoping with Nikki being a year she will be a little controllable when Penny comes... She amazes me sometimes at how well she listens... Other times bot so much...lol. I personally wouldn't recommend 2 that young.

its funny i had the same question about rigby the boxers i encountered before him were bouncy and full of life and energy. my baby is just so calm and laid back he doesnt jump and would rather lay around and be lazy and loved on. He will play but he doesnt get out of hand he goes about things in his slow way but he has always been like that.

At 10 weeks, my male pup was super low key... naps, cuddles, and kisses. Now at 18 weeks, he can be chill, but he can also run 20 laps around the house like a mad man. Too early to tell what they will be like... but it will all be good.
As a general rule... boxers are just awesome dogs.

My girl was very mellow at first also. She is incredibly intelligent and picks things up so quick! But I agree...she has become crazier as she has got a bit older (8 months now). I think it was the change - took her a few weeks to get used to us and really comfortable to be herself! Enjoy your precious girl....definitely get another lol having two from the same litter would be wonderful!!

Merzak Allouache discusses his latest film El Taaib (lit. "The repentant"), which recently won the Europa Cinemas Label for best European film at the Director's Fortnight in Cannes.
The film tells the story of a former jihadist who returns to his village and hands over his weapon to the police in order to acquire the status of 'repentant' and reintegrate into society.
"Through this family drama, I wanted to talk about what we lived through, about what happened afterwards and what is happening now – with no intention of retelling Algeria's history," the director told Euromed Audiovisual.
El Taaib evokes Algeria's difficult past, without being overtly explicit.
"It's in the gazes, in the situations, in the attitudes – I wanted there to be a certain modesty," he said.

You have some idea how tough this course is when a man drops three shots over the closing holes and feels his load is light. That was the whistling disposition of Lee Westwood, – whose post-round media conference here strayed into stand-up, such was the relief at signing for a 68. "What, you don't think I look like I'm enjoying myself? I'll show you miserable this afternoon." Ah, the Worksop one-liner. How we have missed you.
Westwood was referring to the pain threshold that escalates by the hour in the Muirfield thumbscrew. At two under par Westwood was the leader in the clubhouse. With six to play he stood at five under. On this track, in these concrete conditions, the surrender of strokes is a relative concept. Ask Charl Schwartzel, who played alongside Westwood and also signed for a 68 to close three back on one over. Schwartzel believes he is right in the mix, so you can imagine how highly he regarded Westwood's position.
"I thought he putted beautifully. The putts that he needed to make he has made. That's been the difference with him this week. He's made a whole bunch of putts that just keep the momentum. Around this sort of golf course those par putts are birdie putts at other tournaments. That's definitely helped his confidence. You can see the way he's walking, the way he's playing, definitely a danger man."
Not for some time has Westwood entered a major championship so lightly regarded. So far behind the Rorys and the Justins, both of whom laboured through the afternoon, has he fallen, his name was scrubbed from the pre-tournament media schedule. This heresy did not bother him. He has carried our hopes for so long he was grateful for the reprieve, not least for the added time it allowed with his son, Sam, staying with dad in a house beside the first tee.
It is a grand residence, complete with a snooker table dressed in baize the colour of a Rich Tea biscuit and a TV monitor that takes up one wall in a room dedicated to the purpose. Westwood has had swing sessions with Sean Foley and taken putting tips from Ian Baker-Finch. Of equal importance might just be the time spent hanging out with Sam away from the scrutiny of the golfing expert, potting snooker balls and slumped on a sofa in his shorts and T-shirt watching episodes of Bear Grylls, which was the case on the eve of this tournament.
Certainly, Westwood is at ease with himself. And why wouldn't you be, given the way the week has gone? Of his round yesterday he said: "It was a good round of golf, played very well. It is not easy out there. Two under is a real bonus. It could be leading at the end of the day, you never know."
Westwood is in familiar territory. None in the past five years has a more consistent record in majors, 10 top-10 finishes, including a second at the Masters and the Open in 2010. Though the latter was always Louis Oosthuizen's to lose on the final day, Westwood will go to his grave believing only an act of divine providence, or a six-iron threaded between Georgia pines at Augusta's 13th hole, which amounts to the same thing, denied him a championship that should have been his.
He played beautifully that week, led from the front and was in position A in the middle of the fairway when Phil Mickelson, out of position yet again, fashioned a shot for the ages from the copse to the right of the fairway to birdie that 13th hole. Today is clearly another whopper in the search for an answer to the question why Westwood has never won a major. Maybe tomorrow the question will have relevance no more.
"I love playing the Open Championship. This is the biggest tournament of the year for me, being a Brit. Why not enjoy it out there? It's tough for everyone so smile your way through. I was hitting the ball really well. The finish is tough, 16, 17, 18 are playing hard. It's like most major championships. It's a grind, not a birdie fest."
Westwood, who bogeyed the last, begins the weekend tied with Tiger Woods, who birdied it, a two-shot swing that readily symbolises the Muirfield experience. Play correctly and the course rewards – get out of line and she brings the hammer down, which is how it should be. The tension this week has centred on the fine margin between good and evil. A line is crossed when good shots are routinely penalised by caprice. In those circumstances the course becomes a lottery and yields not a worthy winner necessarily but a lucky one. In extremis Muirfield has arguably been borderline over the opening two days, but never less than compelling.
Schwartzel was hitting his six-iron 280 yards and firing the ball at pace into bunkers 375 yards away with the driver. "How do you judge that?" he asked. He had a point. The overnight leader Zach Johnson, teeing off at 3.07pm began with a bogey at the first. Though he recovered it with a birdie at the fourth, successive dropped shots at five and six and another at eight reinforced the view of Muirfield's dog-day afternoons. Rafael Cabrera-Bello carded a 74, seven shots worse than his first-round score.
A terrific up and down from the island bunker at the last gave Miguel Angel Jimenez the clubhouse lead on three under par. "The Mechanic", as he is known, resisted the prevailing orthodoxy to engineer a level-par 71, posting 14 pars, two birdies and two bogeys in a round of impressive consistency.
The veteran American flyers Mark O'Meara and Tom Lehman, who reached such heights in the first round, left the second day correction facility on three over par after a 78 and 77 respectively. And they had the best of the conditions. A day that began with flat seas gently lapping the East Lothian shore ended with the surf, and the hopes of a certain Englishman, up. Westwood ho, anyone?

water softener opinions
we are moving to a new house and will be on well water. decided to have the well tested and the results were
hardness 5 gpg
iron .5 mg/l
ph 6.2
tds 62 mg/l
They recommended a water softer for a price of 2300.00
To me the numbers are borderline across the board. The well was dug / drilled last summer and has been used very little since.
If the well can handle it, I would run the water out a hose at 4gpm for at least 48 hours with out turning it off and then testing the water again.
Agree with the recommendation to flush the well and then retest the hardness and iron.
If you have copper plumbing the pH needs to be treated--otherwise you will be replacing copper pipes with pin hole leaks in a few years. Flushing is unlikely to change the pH.
The hardness and TDS numbers don't make sense. 5 grains of hardness equals (5 x 17.1 ppm) a TDS of 86 for the hardness alone. Any other dissolved matter would further increase the TDS.
I live on a well a artisan well and I have hard water but I can't stand the salty slimy feel I got with a water softener. So I just don't soften my water and the side effects are Not a lot of suds don't lather up in the shower. Calcium deposits and the most noticed difference is great tasting water not slime feeling

This is my prefered method for dealing with most water issues on customers houses :)
details on that filter? We also just tested positive for bacteria. Its a 300ft rock well. I was told to pour 3 gallons of clorox down the vent hole and run the hose until I smelled bleach. I ran ot for 7 mins and never smelled it. Should I add more bleach?
Theres differant cartridges/filters for differant water issues.
Id have the water checked and find out what it is thats actually in there first :)

By Spc. Shea Butler
7th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment
CAMP LIBERTY, Iraq – The unit crest of the 151st Field Artillery Brigade, South Carolina Army National Guard features a horseshoe symbolizing their historical background as a horse-drawn field artillery unit. They keep with the same theme as they donned the symbol of their combat service – the 1st Cavalry Division's large horse head combat patch.
With nearly three months since arriving in Iraq, troops from the 151st were awarded their combat patch for supporting Multi-National Division – Baghdad Jan. 11.
The unit plays a vital role within MND-B - they track locations and issues concerning the Iraqi security forces.
Though some members of the brigade have different roles supporting Operation Iraq Freedom, the majority of the unit's members can be found running the Iraqi security force cell in the division headquarters here. It's there at the Sumter, S.C. flag hangs proudly.
The ISF cell never sleeps. They run a 24-hour operation to act as the liaison between ISF and U.S. troops.
"We have Soldiers working anywhere from 12 to 18 hour shifts," said Command Sgt. Maj. Ralph Dorner, the senior enlisted member in the brigade. "We keep track of all the Iraqi Army and Iraqi national police in MND-B. We collect and distribute battlefield information between the ISF and us."
It is important to know where everyone is on the battlefield, Dorner said, so no one is crossing sectors.
"We provide the layout of the battlefield," he explained.
Not only do they track where the ISF are working and patrolling, but they also keep up with the issues concerning the ISF.
"We work their logistical problems, as well," Dorner said. "We help with their pay issues and living arrangements."
Though the language barrier makes it hard sometimes to communicate issues, it is easily curable with the help on an interpreter.
"We have an interpreter assigned to us and the ISF usually has one too, so that makes things easier," Dorner said.
Everyone plays an important role in making this operation go smoothly, Dorner said.
No matter what job a Soldier performs here, Dorner said there is one thing they all have in common - they all receive a patch for being here.
There are many different patches, but the command sergeant major said they all mean the same thing.
"It (the patch) reinforces that we are all one Army wanting to accomplish the same thing," Dorner said. "The patch really cements you to a unit."

If financially strapped schoolteacher Walt White had had better health care when he got his cancer diagnosis, maybe he wouldn't have begun cooking meth to help cover his expenses. Meanwhile, his long-term problem — leaving his family provided for after his death — might have been a non-issue had teachers in his district been better paid. On the other hand, if Walt had found himself in less of a jam, there would have been no "Breaking Bad."
Finish what you start.
It's never good to leave hanging important tasks. Walt is a shining example of a guy determined to tie up loose ends. That was part of why the "Breaking Bad" finale was so good.

I love the idea - we spend way too much at retail for kids junk. Even Amazon adds up quickly when the holidays roll around.
Keep it young kid related, since older teenage kids can use half the electronic toys that are already sold on the regular woot.
So far no toys or products have been posted that are suitable for babies and toddlers, although I guess a loud toothbrush holder is suitable for anyone that doesn't have ears.
Don't forget about the 0-5 year olds that can't play intricate games please! Push toys, balls, large legos (duplos), oversized cars and trucks, dolls, kitchen sets, paints, easels, any kind of large toy that can easily be gifted at a birthday party, etc.
Just found kids.woot and love the idea! Keep up the good work. Oh, and when it is time for a kidd-off, make sure that the bag o' carp doesn't actually CONTAIN a full diaper... that would not be cool. Funny, but wayyy not cool.

Soul Patrol: Back with a Vengeance
Lawton would only make it part of that first season as part of the "Soul Patrol," as he was traded in a deadline deal to the New York Mets. This left the team a member short when it came to the "Soul Patrol" until Shannon Stewart joined the club in 2003.
This became the second version of the "Soul Patrol." Jones would leave in 2005, Stewart left after the 2006 season, and Hunter became a free agent one year later. The "Soul Patrol" was spread out throughout baseball and it was tough to know if the Twins would ever see it again.
A new group of outfielders in the Twins farm system has taken on the mantra of the "Soul Patrol." JD Williams, Byron Buxton, and Adam Walker have put together strong starts to their seasons for Cedar Rapids. The Kernels have come out of the gate hot so there might be a little more magic in the "Soul Patrol" name.
"Soul Patrol" Center Fielder: Torii Hunter to Byron Buxton
Both players were first round picks but Buxton is putting together a season unlike anything Hunter ever had in the minor leagues. Through 41 games, Buxton is hitting .317/.420/.559 with seven home runs, four triples, and 10 doubles. His 19 stolen bases are also more than Hunter ever had in the minors.
Hunter has put together quite the major league career after never being ranked higher than 79th on Baseball America's Top Prospect List. Buxton enters his first full season already in the top 10 and he could be at the top of the list by the end of the year.
Throughout the history of the Twins organization, the club has turned to their center fielder for leadership. Hunter was a leader on the resurgent Twins teams of the 2000s. Buxton might have to be a leader as the team tries to erase the memories from the last couple of poor seasons and get back to playing winning baseball.
"Soul Patrol" Left Fielder: Jacque Jones to JD Williams
The Twins took Jones in the second round of the draft so there were some high expectations from the start. Williams was a tenth round pick and he has been a surprise so far with his ability to hit for power. Both men can play multiple outfield positions but Williams has been sent to left so Buxton could be in CF and Walker could be in RF.
Williams has struck out 29 times this season in 36 games but his OBP is still over .400. This comes from his ability to draw walks. Jones improved on his ability to draw walks during his Minnesota days but he never had an OBP of higher than .335.
So far this year, Williams is hitting .255/.406/.500 with four home runs, two triples, and eight doubles. He has eight steals in four attempts so he can take an extra base when the time is right. This is his second trip through the Midwest League and his numbers are improving. Last year, he hit .234/.311/.340 with Beloit.
"Soul Patrol" Right Fielder: Matt Lawton to Shannon Stewart to Adam Walker
Lawton joined the Twins organization as a 13th round pick and he went on to a decent career as a big leaguer. Stewart joined the Twins on a trade that would help push the team toward the playoffs. In 2012, Walker was a third round pick so there have been some expectations for him to succeed.
Last year, he played 58 games for the E-Twins and hit .250/.310/.496 with 14 home runs and 11 other extra-base hits. The power swing was there but some of his other numbers were lower than the club would have liked. He would still be advanced to Cedar Rapids this year and he is off to a very good start.
Through 41 games, he is hitting .284/.333/.594 with 10 home runs, 10 doubles, and four triples. He has three steals to his name and he has yet to be thrown out. His 45 RBI already match his total from last year and he did this in 83 less plate appearances.
It would be a very cool story if all three of these minor league outfielders made it to the Twins outfield at some point in their careers. There is a good chance that one or more of them won't be able to make it all the way through to the MLB level.
It's still a very exciting group of players to watch and the future could be bright for the newest edition of the "Soul Patrol."

|A Phase 1B, Multi-Center, Open Label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of MP-376 Inhalation Solution Given Daily for 14 Days to Stable Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis Patients.
|Brief Summary
|Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) suffer from chronic infections of the lower respiratory tract that can be caused by one or multiple bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which has been particularly problematic to eradicate and been implicated as the major cause of morbidity and mortality in CF patients. Aerosol delivery of antibiotics directly to the lung increases the local concentrations of antibiotic at the site of infection resulting in improved antimicrobial effects compared to systemic administration. Bacterial resistance to current aerosol antibiotic treatments indicate a need for improved therapies to treat CF patients with pulmonary infections caused by multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other bacteria. High concentrations of MP-376 delivered directly to the lung are projected to have antimicrobial effects on even the most resistant organisms. MP-376 is a novel formulation of the fluoroquinolone levofloxacin that has been optimized for aerosol delivery using the PARI electronic eFlow® nebulizer. Preclinical and early clinical studies in adults show that aerosol doses of MP-376 appear to be safe and well tolerated, and exert an antimicrobial effect when administered once or twice daily. High concentrations of levofloxacin in the lung delivered using MP-376 are expected to be active against CF pathogens such as P. aeruginosa and S. aureus, including those resistant to aminoglycosides (such as TOBI®) and other inhaled antimicrobial agents. Inhaled MP-376 can be delivered rapidly and efficiently using the PARI eFlow® nebulizer system. This Phase 1 study is being performed to obtain safety, tolerability and PK data in children ages 6-16 in order to determine if MP-376 is safe, prior to enrolling children of these ages in the planned pivotal Phase 3 studies.

text: EASTON, Pa., Nov. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To the Shareholders of Paragon Technologies: When I first joined the Board of Directors in the second half of 2010, I was very clear in my objectives for Paragon. The first immediate objective was cost reduction: in October 2010, Paragon's expenses were little changed from 2007 when the Company was generating over $20 million in sales, more than double the sales figure in 2010. We reduced costs and as a result, Paragon reported a profit in 2011 compared with a loss of over $1 million in 2010. In March of 2012, I was unanimously appointed Chairman of the Board. Two new directors, Samuel Weiser and Jack Jacobs joined me on the Board replacing the outgoing four Board members. Both Sam and Jack are highly accomplished businessmen, but more importantly, both are exceptional people both inside and outside the board room. Reinvigorated with a completely new Board, we quickly and carefully conducted a comprehensive review of the business, evaluated management and associates, and began a vigorous process of eradicating a culture defined by entitlement and creating a culture motivated by performance. As a direct result of those efforts we are now in a position to steer Paragon in a new direction with a singular focus: increasing the per share intrinsic value of the Company. This letter will outline our business principles that we will employ to run Paragon. A successful value-creating business, in our view, is one ingrained with a culture of performance. For such a corporate culture to flourish, a business should have (a) a strong and ethical management team; (b) a low cost structure; (c) a consistently strong balance sheet; (d) an intense focus on maximizing intrinsic value per share; and (e) the passion to execute on that focus.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2067 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
The purpose of this guide is to supplement the Project Wild (PW) curriculum with natural history information specific to Georgia. One of the strengths of the PW curriculum is the breadth of its scope, dealing with issues from around the United States. This general approach can also be a frustration however, if one is trying to tailor the PW curriculum to local habitats and species that students may encounter in Georgia.
This guide seeks to provide a basic introduction to key habitats and wildlife for each physiographic region within Georgia, and provide references for further study and field trip sites. Throughout, we have suggested links to local topics and PW activities that could be adjusted to add local information and flavor. We have accepted the prevailing scientific view of geologic time, though we are aware that other opinions exist regarding the dates of geologic events. We hope that those who disagree will still find this guide helpful.
We hope this guide helps to generate a greater knowledge and appreciation of Georgias diverse and increasingly threatened habitats. It is only a deep concern and commitment to these wild places that will ensure their existence for future generations to enjoy.
Georgia is the largest state east of the Mississippi River, with a land area of 37 million acres, and is home to over 8 million people (2000 census). This number is expected to increase by 37% over the next 25 years. The state of Georgia is also home to a remarkably diverse collection of plants and animals. The term biodiversity may inspire images of Australian Coral Reefs and Brazilian Rain Forests, but for certain taxa, the southeastern United States ranks high in the world, and certainly within the United States for sheer number of species. Georgia is home to 975 vertebrates (ranks 2nd in the nation), of which 63 are found only in Georgia (endemic species). Georgia ranks among the highest of all states for amphibian, freshwater fishes, and crayfish diversity, and is in the top 10 for reptile and vascular plant diversity (3,600 native plant species).
Many excellent field guides are available that provide detailed information on the identification and life history of our plants and animals. This guide seeks to introduce you to some of the important plants and animals, not to replace existing guides.
Walking through a cove forest in the mountains, floating down the Altamaha River by canoe, or wandering the Spanish-moss draped hammock forests on Sapelo Island, one may get a sense of permanence and stability. This sense is largely an illusion however, as every habitat experiences subtle and sometimes more obvious changes through time. These change result from internal and external processes.
Internal processes such as plant growth, death, and replacement (called natural succession), are constantly at work, subtly changing every habitat, whether a rock outcrop or a mature forest. Habitats often progress towards a theoretical "climax" stage, where the species composition remains relatively stable over long periods of time. If you walk into a forest and the under-story saplings are the same species as the dominant canopy trees, you are witnessing a forest in its climax stage.
External disturbances such as hurricanes, droughts, lightning strikes and fires can interfere with plant succession, setting back the successional clock. In some habitats, external disturbances occur with sufficient frequency that the climax stage is never reached. For example, the Longleaf pine forests of the coastal plain are fire-maintained ecosystems, which are rapidly replaced by hardwoods if fire is suppressed.
On a much broader time scale, Georgia's habitats are also changing due to hemispheric and global climate changes. The most obvious example is the oscillating climate associated with the Ice Ages over the last 2 million years.
Georgias landscape at the peak of the last major Ice Age (20,000 years ago) would be unrecognizable to a modern observer. Ice ages have occurred about every 100,000 years for the last 2 million years in the northern hemisphere. A combination of three distinct cycles in the earth's rotation and orbit seem to cause these predictable climatic fluctuations. Whatever the cause, ice ages dramatically changed the face of North America well beyond the actual extent of ice, which reached only as far south as New York State.
During the ice ages a northern forest of Jack Pine (Pinus sylvestris), Red Pine (Pinus resinosa) and spruce (Picea sp.) found refuge in the southern Appalachians, pushed from its northern range by vast sheets of ice that in places reached 2 miles thick. Between 14,000 and 11,000 years ago as the climate moderated, the landscape changed, becoming closer in appearance to modern Georgia.
A close look however would reveal a remarkably different fauna. Mastodons (Mammut sp.) grazed in Pine grasslands and spruce forests along the Atlantic coasts, with 4 ton Shasta giant ground-sloths (Nothrotheriops shastensis), and Giant Beaver (Castoroides ohioensis) the size of Black Bear. Predators such as the Dire Wolf (Canis dirus), American Lions (Panthera leo), American Cheetahs (Miracinonyx sp.), and Saber-toothed Cats (Smilodon fatalis) prowled the landscape as well. In a relatively short period of time between 12,000-9,000 years ago, 35 - 40 species of large mammals went extinct. The cause of this wave of extinction is still debated today. However, the arrival of Paleo-Indian hunters, approximately 12,000 years ago, probably played a major role in their extinction.
Parallel tales can be told of early human arrival on other continents, such as South America and Australia, where waves of large mammal extinctions followed close on the heels of human hunters.
Recent challenges to wildlife are easier to see and understand than prehistoric climate change and Paleo-Indian hunting. Rapidly expanding human populations exert increasing pressure on wildlife habitat throughout the state. This growing pressure raises concern for the survival of plants and animals that are dependant on the varied natural landscapes of the Southeast.
Habitat provides vital services for wildlife including space, food, water, and shelter. Changes in natural habitats may render them unsuitable for wildlife. For example, impounding rivers to make lakes alters natural water flow, temperature, and sediment levels, destroying habitat for many of our freshwater species. Wetland draining has already destroyed about 50% of North Americas wetlands (about 23% of Georgias), threatening the habitat of about 70% of our endangered species. Water pollution in the form of sediment and chemical pollutants also threaten our native species.
One of our most damaged habitats must be the bottomland hardwood forest. 77% of our bottomland hardwood forests have been cleared over the last 2 centuries, leading to the recent extinction of 3 of 5 bird species that depend exclusively on this habitat. North Americas largest woodpecker (Ivory-billed Campephilus principalis), North Americas only native parrot (Carolina parakeet Conuropsis carolinensis), and the Bachmans Warbler (Vermivora bachmanii) have all become extinct. The brilliant Prothonotary Warbler (Prothonotaria citrea) and skulking Swainsons Warbler (Lymnothlypis swainsonii) remain, although both are species of concern due to habitat loss.
From the southern terminus of the Appalachian Mountains to the barrier islands, Georgia includes a wide range of habitats and landscapes. This diversity supports the vast array of plants and animals that make our state unique. This guide divides Georgia into six regions, including three mountain regions, the piedmont, coastal plain, and barrier islands. Each region is defined by its underlying geology, soil types and topography. These physical factors in conjunction with climate (long term weather patterns) and local disturbances (storms, fires and floods), determine the types of habitats that develop in each region. The central role of soils, climate and natural disturbance will be revisited again and again, as these three factors determine what plants and animals can become established in any given habitat.
This guide starts in the mountains and moves to the coast, as if one were hiking from the mountains of northwest Georgia to the sea. This cross-section of Georgia would be wedge shaped, with the high tumbled rocks of the mountains gradually softening to the rolling piedmont, and then dropping to the essentially flat coastal plain and ocean.

WAUSAU (WAOW) _ Wausau police say a teenager was arrested for drunken driving after he tried to flee the scene of a two-car crash.
Lt. Mark Pankow said the 17-year-old Wausau boy had a blood-alcohol level of 0.21 percent, based on preliminary results of a breathalyzer test taken after he failed field sobriety tests. The legal limit to drive in Wisconsin is 0.08 percent.
"He denied he had been drinking and later on he admitted he had," Pankow said. "He didn't say where."
The crash happened about midnight in northeast Wausau near the intersection of North Third Street and Short Street, Pankow said. There were no serious injuries.
Pankow said it was "fairly rare" for somebody as young as 17 to be arrested for drunken driving in Wausau.
According to Pankow, both vehicles were towed from the scene after the crash but no details were immediately available on what caused it.
A Wausau bartender is speaking out after being cited in an underage drinking sting.

Yesterday, we were pleased to announce that Legacy Emanuel Hospital is investing $200,000 in a remodel of Dawson Park in North Portland.
Their generous contribution will help install an interactive water feature in the park.
The water feature is just one of the new amenities that will be added to the park. With the neighborhood in mind, interpretive panels will also be installed in the space to share the park's rich history.
The remodel design was created through extensive community outreach. Now, thanks to Legacy Emanuel, neighbors will see their vision come to life.
"The generous gift from Legacy Emanuel will greatly add to the amenities and improvements at Dawson Park, and will be a neighborhood treasure for generations to come," Nick said about the Legacy Emanuel's donation.
The remodel for Dawson Park is scheduled to begin this fall.

|Pakistan in Grip of Raging Ethnic Violence
By B. Raman
August 25, 2011
The cycle of violence in Karachi will continue as none of the contending parties is likely to force a strategic confrontation which could destabilise Pakistan. Hence, such periodic confrontations will continue till the criminal-politician-police nexus is broken
The civil war-like situation in Karachi continues without respite. Seventy-three persons belonging to different communities and religious sects were reported to have been killed — many of them in targeted shootings and some kidnapped and tortured to death — during four days of fresh violence between August 16 and 19. The level of violence considerably came down on August 20.

Mumbai, Sep 13: Mumbai Cricket Association joint secretary Nitin Dalal today said he felt pity for promising left-arm spinner Ankeet Chavan, who was banned for life by the BCCI on IPL spot-fixing charges, saying that he was on the verge of being picked for India A.
"It's a sad day for Mumbai cricket. It's a pity that Ankeet Chavan has been found guilty. He was set to be picked for India A team as hes a wicket taking bowler," said Dalal while reacting to the BCCI decision to ban Chavan.
The BCCI's Disciplinary Committee, comprising N Srinivasan, Arun Jaitley and Niranjan Shah, enquiring into the allegations of spot-fixing against some Rajasthan Royals, imposed the ban on Chavan after a hearing in New Delhi.
Chavan and India Test pacer S Sreesanth were banned for life from playing any representative cricket, or in any way being associated with the activities of the BCCI or its affiliates, said the statement from the Board. Even as he expressed sadness on the life ban imposed on Chavan, Dalal was also relieved a bit that another Mumbai player and left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh was let off for lack of evidence.
"He (Harmeet) is now free to play for Mumbai if selected," said Dalal. Dalal explained that Harmeet, a member of India's victorious Under-19 World Cup-winning squad and also of IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals, has already decided not to play for Vidarbha CA, after having approached them earlier.
Harmeet's grandmother Preetam Kaur also expressed her happiness over the clean chit given to the youngster by the BCCI's disciplinary panel when contacted at the player's residence here. Stating that the entire family was in Delhi, she said, "There was a lot of anxiety (over the impending Board decision) all these days. I got a call from Harmeet's mother from Delhi... now we are extremely happy."

Mashed potatoes make a hearty honest dish. It has sometimes been referred to as comfort food because it evokes memories of both big special-occasion dinners and the simple, family dinner intended for no other reason than to share a good meal. This version of mashed potatoes tastes good because it's dense with the mildly sweet flavor of parsnips and just enough butter to please, but without the extra calories you usually find in mashed potatoes.
8 medium red or white new potatoes, washed and cubed
4 parsnips, peeled and cubed
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Dash cayenne pepper
Several grindings of black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Put the potatoes and parsnips in a large pot with water, making sure that the water completely covers them. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium, then cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally with a spoon. Test the tenderness of the potatoes with a fork; they should pierce easily and be tender, yet firm. Drain any remaining liquid and mash the potatoes with a potato masher until there are no visible lumps. Add the milk and butter and continue to mash until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. Stir in the parsley, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt, and beat thoroughly with a wooden spoon until all the seasonings are completely mixed in. Cover and serve warm.

Agartala, Jul 8: Tripura Commerce Minister Jitendra Choudhury has urged the Bangladesh business delegation to press their government to upgrade the existing Land Custom Stations (LCS) and set up more business facilitating infrastructure across the border.
Addressing the Indo-Bangladesh exporters and importers meeting at the Muhurighat LAC in South Tripura yesterday, Mr Choudhury said the Indian government had already modernised five of the seven LCS and the rest would be come into operation soon.
He added that there was no upgradation of facilities in the Bangladesh side, which was adversely affecting the business between two countries.
He urged the Bangladesh representatives to seriously take up the issue with their government for increasing the volume of business with Northeast India especially Tripura as well as to take initiative to set up retail business among the small agrarian community and buyers from both sides of the border.
Mr Choudhury also pointed out that the Tripura government was interested to facilitate business and logistics to mainstream states of India through Bangladesh and use Chittagong seaport for other South East Asian countries and assured that the Muhurighat LAC would be operationalised soon.
Altogether 23 delegates of Bangladesh, led by president of Feni Chamber of Commerce Hajji Alauddin, and 27 representatives of Northeast Chamber of Commerce, led by its senior member M L Debnath, attended the meet, besides officials of Tripura government.
Meanwhile, speaking at the meeting, Mr Alauddin asserted that the Bangladesh government was also keen to maintain friendly relations with India and strengthen business ties with Northeastern states of India and they would apprise the outcome in detail to the Bangladesh government.

Futures Edge North On Jobless Claims, Possible Fed Clues; Morgan Stanley Beats
Futures were largely pointing up before the bell Thursday, thanks to an upbeat jobs report and anticipation of Federal Reserve Chief Ben Bernanke's second day of Congressional testimony.
At recent check, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.1%, the Nasdaq was roughly flat, and the S&P 500 was in the lead with a 0.2% gain. The moves come on the heels of across-the-board gains on Wednesday.
Jobless claims nudged equities ahead, as the number of new applicants dropped by 24,000 to 334,000 in the week that ended July 13, the lowest level of new claims since early May. Economists were expecting initial claims to only fall to 341,000 from an original estimate of 360,000 in the prior week.
The government tweaked the claims for the week that ended July 6, to 358,000. The four-week average of initial claims, which evens out weekly distortions , declined 5,250 to 346,000. Continuing claims rose 91,000 to 3.11 million in the week that ended July 6, reaching the highest level since February; their four-week average of increased 37,000 to 3.02 million.
After bolstering stocks with his visit to the House Financial Services Committee, Bernanke will again be before legislators today, at the Senate Banking Committee. His question-and-answer session will no doubt be watch for further clues about Fed Policy.
In corporate news, Morgan Stanley (MS) was up 4% as its second-quarter top-and bottom-line beat expectations.
Phillips Morris (PM) stumbled 3% as its second-quarter earnings and revenue missed consensus estimates.
UnitedHealth (UNH) rose 2.6% as its second-quarter earnings per share beat; its revenue was light, but the company also raised its full-year earnings estimates by a dime.
BlackRock (BLK) was unchanged at recent check; its second-quarter earnings per share came in ahead of the Street's expectations, but revenue was just a hair below them.

Batman Incorporated: DC Comics Heroes Service Corporate Clients (in 1979)
With 80% of 36 leading companies agree that "comics are extremely effective public relations and marketing tools" and 90% of "our children" being regular comic book readers, can it be any wonder that the American comic book business is booming like never before?
Obviously, none of that is true, although it may have been, once upon a time. Those statistics and more come from some curious DC Comics promotional images from 1979 in which the DC heroes are offered as advertising tools for clients like Hostess Cupcakes and General Electric.Unearthed by The Dork Review, the literature offered to prospective clients the use of DC characters and talent in creating unique and indeed effective advertising material. According to statistics that cannot be (read: we do not feel like) verifying, "few premiums [could] rival the wide acceptance enjoye by comics among our kids – or the variety available to the advertiser who uses them to promote his products."
The DC Comics of the ancient world's focus on younger readers seems quaint today, with the publisher's New 52 initiative targeted specifically at teens and older readers. Which is not to say DC's strategy hasn't been successful. Just this week, Advertising Age credited the New 52 with making DC Comics one of "America's Hottest Brands."
With DC's star shining so brightly, the time is right for the company to produce an updated series of marketing material in the style of the vintage images you can say below. and bring new meaning to the words "Batman Incorporated."

Mar 12 2014
Wow, where do we even begin? With over 40 deals announced -- 20 in a 30-minute period! -- it's safe to say yesterday was a busy day for the players, teams and fans of the NFL.
Defense and protecting the QB were the names of the game on day one. So who's doing the best so far?
Denver Broncos
Can you say "all in?" That describes the Broncos moves to make sure they not only make it to next year's Super Bowl, but they come home as champions. They signed two of the top available players in Pro Bowl CB Aqib Talib and S T.J. Ward. It's been widely reported that they are the favorites to add Pro Bowl DE DeMarcus Ware.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Don't look now, but the Buccaneers have put together a defense that might just rate up there with the Seahawks and 49ers. They added Pro Bowl DEs Michael Johnsonand Clinton McDonald to a line that already has Pro Bowl DT Gerald McCoy. They then snatch up CB Alterraun Verner to go along with last year's free agent signing, SDashon Goldson, and young studs S Mark Barron and CB Jonathan Banks.
Atlanta Falcons
For a team wanting to get tougher on both lines, the re-signing of DT Jonathan Babineaux, the addition of G Jon Asamoah and DTs Tyson Jackson and Paul Soliai would suggest they did just that.
Offensive Tackles
Eugene Monroe (Ravens), Branden Albert (Dolphins), Jared Veldheer (Cardinals) and Rodger Saffold (Raiders) we all quickly signed to big money long-term deals within the first hours of the signing period. Not too long after the intial flurry, Austin Howard (Raiders) was another offensive tackle heading to a new team.
Considered by many as the crown jewel of this year's free agency class, Pro Bowl S Jairus Byrd signed a 5-year contract with the Saints. He joined other coveted safeties T.J. Ward (Broncos), Louis Delmas (Dolphins), Mike Mitchell (Steelers), Ryan Mundy (Bears), and Stevie Johnson (Giants) who were added to rosters around the league.

I have a suggestion for the opt-out label,
a) The proposed label says: "author-name does not support this item"
b) Why not use instead: "author-name does not provide support for this item" ??
c) Going beyond, why not to be more honest and say: "author-name does not provide paid support for this item" – this is about paying for support, right? Why not clearly state in the label?
The first one can lead to a misunderstanding, like saying "you can buy this theme but I don't care if it works for you" – I know there is a link to "What is support?" but guys, you are tricking authors/buyers with the way this update works.
I really miss the "community feeling" here
This support policy to enforce authors to provide support for a cheap price and limit time, sounds more like a way to reduce the number of active designers/developer selling themes; since the market is saturated. Is just a guess (call me crazy – lol)
That is my conspiration theory about this Envato's update. What's yours? xD
All I can say is, this new "update" is not user friendly; it will make the support process complex to understand.
Anyway, is Envato's decision.
SW-THEMES said
Other marketplaces are trying other ways to get more traffic not only google ads.
Some of them are massively spamming as a way to promote their business
Envato already allow to authors to sell bundles, why not to allow a limited time xD #JustKidding
Being serious, keeping the item live so users can download is a great idea!
surjithctly said
You mean a "Sold Out" option? that would be nice
+1 !!!
Graphic-Studio said
I can't tell you why sales are down.
As usual, it's more about how much you promote your own items that help your own sales.
Really, you don't WHY? Oh man, please read the reasons many people (including myself) commented in this and previous threads: wrong pricing, but specially very low pricing for multiple themes items [period]. Niche themes/templates can't compete with that.
Kudos for the new Elite Program Manager!
Plus, "the mark as read" small button is pretty buggy. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.

Yokohama-based JGC Corp., which lost 10 employees during the Algerian hostage siege earlier this year, reported bumper profits Monday.
The 10 Japanese workers, hired directly or indirectly by JGC Corp., including former Vice President Tadanori Aratani, were killed by heavily armed militants who overran the Ain Amenas gas plant in January. Algerian troops ended the siege by force.
The bloody showdown with Algerian commandos left dozens of foreigners dead after the four-day crisis and sent a collective shudder through energy and infrastructure firms in resource-poor Japan.
The firm said Monday that net profit for the past fiscal year climbed nearly 20 percent to ¥46.18 billion on sales of ¥624.64 billion, up 12.1 percent.
But the suspension of JGC's operations at Ain Amenas exacted a financial toll as well, the company said, with operating profit slipping by 4.4 percent to ¥64.12 billion.
"About 80 percent of sales of (the) JGC group come from overseas markets, and we are exposed to country risks . . . for example, unstable politics, wars, revolutions, internal unrest, terrorism," among others, the plant builder said.
"Even though (the) JGC group is reviewing and strengthening our risk-control system . . . if unexpected changes in the business environment occur, that could affect our earnings through suspensions or delays of projects," it said.
JGC strengthened its security in the aftermath of the Algerian crisis, it said, including in the areas of information-gathering and cooperation with governments.
But experts said Japan's resource-hungry companies in Algeria and beyond do not plan to withdraw from Africa, despite the national trauma engendered by the Sahara hostage siege.
For the year to next March, JGC forecasts a net profit of ¥47 billion and operating profit of ¥69.5 billion on sales of ¥690 billion, as it expects strong demand for energy-related plants, it said.

The first wholly Scottish feature for many a year proves debuting filmmaker Bill Forsyth has an entertaining touch.
The first wholly Scottish feature for many a year proves debuting filmmaker Bill Forsyth has an entertaining touch.Forsyth's screenplay, largely set in the city's dank demolition areas, plots a motley bunch of unemployed lads, amiably led by Robert Buchanan, who heist a hundred stainless steel sinks in a boisterous bid to embark on an essentially light-hearted life of crime. The central joke – the absurdity of seeing sinks as likely hot sellers – is hardly strong enough to carry a full-length film. But Forsyth's incidental observations, and the generally high standard of playing by non-professionals, help to offset the fact that most scenes could be pruned to advantage. Technical credits are remarkable considering the almost invisible production budget.
That Sinking Feeling
Minor Miracle. Director Bill Forsyth; Producer Bill Forsyth; Screenplay Bill Forsyth; Camera Michael Coulter; Editor John Gow; Music Colin Tully; Art Director Adrienne Atkinson
(Color) Available on VHS. Extract of a review from 1979. Running time: 80 MIN.

One filing revolves around sensors that are on an Apple iPhone and on a wrist-worn device. The sensors can tell that someone's pulse is rising, even if he is not moving. Using other sensors that detect that this user is indoors, a pattern recognition system would concludes that the person is on a treadmill. From there, the session on the treadmill can be converted into data such as miles run, and the hypothetical distance covered.
A second patent tracks the pattern of a person who usually moves minimally after 11pm. If this person has a "Do Not Disturb" setting activated and an alarm set, the system uses probability to decide if the user is sleeping and whether the alarm should go off. In the same vein, the application uses an example of someone wearing a biometric bracelet which revealed that he stayed up late Friday night. The system checks the calendar on his iPhone and sees a reminder to call a friend at 10am Saturday, and an alarm set for 9am Saurday morning. Here, the iPhone bypasses the alert and wakes the user up at 9:45 so that he can get more sleep. If two people, each wearing a biometric bracelet, are in close proximity to the same iPhone, the alarm could be changed into a vibration so that the alarm won't awaken the second person.
The third application deals with missed notifications. If a user has the "Do Not Disturb" setting on, takes a nap, and misses some notifications, the system can determine when the user is awake. Once he is up from his nap, the system will replay notifications and disable the "Do Not Disturb" setting. If the user makes a small movement, like checking his iPhone for the time, the system will assume that the person is sill sleeping, and all of the original settings will stand.
Will these patent applications end up being used in the Apple iWatch? The Health app in iOS 8 will analyze and store health related data received from third party fitness bands, so surely it will sync with the iWatch when it is released.

Houston Overcomes 15-Point Deficit, Nips UTEP in OT 81-76
Jan. 28, 2012
Jonathon Simmons scored 18 of his 25 points after halftime, and Houston rallied from a 15-point deficit to beat UTEP, 81-76 in overtime, on Saturday night at Hofheinz Pavilion.
The Miners (10-11, 3-4 C-USA) led 38-23 late in the first half, and 58-47 with a little over six minutes to play before the Cougars (11-9, 3-4 C-USA) stormed back to register the eighth win in their last nine home games. UTEP fell to 0-7 on the road.
Back-to-back three-point plays - one by TaShawn Thomas and the other by Alandise Harris - enabled the Cougars to cut the 58-47 lead down to 58-53 in the blink of an eye. The Miners reinstated an eight-point lead (63-55) with 4:46 to go on a three-pointer by Julian Washburn, but went four minutes without a field goal until John Bohannon's layup tied the game at 66 with 50 seconds to play.
Following a missed three by Simmons, UTEP had a chance to take the final shot. Jacques Streeter drove and kicked to an open C.J. Cooper for the three pointer, but officials reviewed the play and ruled that the basket came after time expired.
The Miners regrouped to forge a four-point lead in overtime (76-72) on a jumper by Michael Perez with 49 seconds to go, but that turned out to be UTEP's final points of the game as Houston closed the contest on a 9-0 run.
The killer was a three-point play by Simmons with 34 seconds left, giving Houston the lead for good, 77-76. The Miners turned the ball over twice in the final 40 seconds up 76-74 and down 77-76.
UTEP's Gabriel McCulley and Cedrick Lang both fouled out after playing 18 and 25 minutes respectively. Washburn and Perez ended the game with four fouls.
"I was really pleased with our guys' effort," UTEP coach Tim Floyd said. "I thought we played with great poise on the offensive end. I thought we had great execution on the offensive end. I think the foul trouble to McCulley and Lang affected our matchups. We had different guys having to guard other people and as a result our defense got worse because we started getting beat off the drive and off the dribble. We also lost two of our top three rebounders, which put us in harm's way on the glass late in the ball game. When they did shoot and miss, they were able to secure the rebound and put it back in."
Bohannon recorded his fourth double-double in the last eight games with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Washburn had 16 points and eight boards. Perez and McCulley scored 12 and 11 respectively.
"I thought John Bohannon played great," Floyd said. "I thought Cedrick, for not practicing all week, played hard and played smart. I thought Gabe was terrific when he was in there. It was just the foul trouble really affected us in terms of our screen and roll coverage, our ability to front the post, our ability to rebound and our ability to guard the drives. It allowed them to get back into the game, and it forced us to play zone defense, which we didn't want to do."
The Miners outshot Houston 46.7 percent to 43.3 percent. But they were outrebounded 26-21 and outscored 28-14 in the paint after halftime, with their big men mired in foul trouble.
Harris (15 points/12 rebounds) and Thomas (16 points/12 rebounds) both had double-doubles for the Cougars.
UTEP will return to El Paso on Sunday, then ship back out to Houston two days later for a Wednesday matchup with Rice.

Fritty Frittata
Recipe by Meg Sweetland Baker
You can put whatever you want into this frittata.
Top Review by Saturn
This was good and quite easy to prepare. I like that there is an option for the veggies. I made mine with minced sundried tomatoes and corn (the corn got it past my kids' inspections). Mine came out a bit dry though. I'm not sure if I cooked it too long or not though. I cooked it for the time stated in the recipe. I will try this again and maybe take it out a bit sooner. Thanks for posting! *Made for PAC Fall '08*

H&M faux fur stole and leather gloves, Hermes belt, Chanel WOC, Louboutin Decolettes
Last week, Banana Republic launched a capsule collection inspired by the upcoming film Anna Karenina. Previews on TV showed ladies donning elegant dresses with demure necklines, adorned in lavish furs, lace, layered pearls, and jewels - what's not to love? I'm a sucker for the old-time glamour that underlies this collection, especially around this time of the year when holiday parties are near. My favorite piece is this cap-sleeve lace dress, and was thrilled to see that it comes in petites (I've always admired the quality of the Monogram line, but rarely see it in extended sizing). It went very quickly online, but check your local stores or try the # above (stores do ship).
Inspired by BR's styling for this collection, I kept the color palette simple and let the textures shine in this outfit. I love the look of all black with an accent color - be it a bold, bright red, or a more muted deep wine like the shade of these gloves. I had tried on the stole and gloves previously at H&M, and went back for them now that temps have dropped precipitously. I guess patience paid off, because the faux fur pieces are now marked down to $7, and the genuine leather gloves (available in black, wine, or tan; the wine and tan leather feel softer than the black) are just $15 a pair. I am wearing size XS, which fits very slim but the fingers are long on me, per usual.
This dress is made with all-over lace fabric, and is lined in black from the bust down. The camisole-style dress lining underneath has thin straps, and there are small loops to keep the straps in place at each shoulder.
Hair routine is from this post, and makeup is from this post plus my trusty Rimmel Bordeaux lipcolor.
This dress in a 00P fit decently off the rack, but I adjusted it with the same alterations made to my last BR sheath (outfit also featuring this same belt, reversed for a different look). I tapered the skirt shape in from the hips downward, so that the bottom would have a pencil silhouette. The length is intended to be long and lean - I wanted to keep that vibe, but hemmed it just 1 inch to balance out my proportions.
