This coming weekend will be a year since the beautiful Matilda Mae passed away suddenly. My friend Susanne has set up a linky for letters to Matilda. This morning I've just run 5k and as often happens I thought of Matilda but today I thought of what I would write to her. There is just SO much I could say. Many ways she has impacted me. So hopefully I will do this justice.
I've followed Mummys blog for years and I loved reading the updates on how you were growing and developing into a beautiful little girl. I can remember the day Mummy posted on twitter to say you had passed away. I remember reading what Mummy was posting with tears streaming down my cheeks. I held my boys so tight that day. I stopped saying 'In a minute' and appreciated every single moment with them. Suddenly life seemed so precious. I developed much more patience with the boys and grabbed every opportunity we could to have fun together and you were always in my thoughts. You still are.
Then I decided I needed to do something to raise money for the Lullaby Trust. I've always wanted to skydive but I needed a reason that was close to my heart to get me out that plane door. You were that reason Matilda and in the lead up to that skydive I told so many people your story. How beautiful you were. How SIDS is cruel and sudden. How it happens in a blink of an eye and a beautiful baby is gone. We told so many people your name and we raised over £6000 as a team in your memory for the Lullaby Trust. I was so proud of what the team achieved. But at the back of my mind was always the fact that it wasn't right that we were having to do this and to raise the money because really you should still be here with your family. Having mummy there that day was amazing and she gave out the most amazing hugs and cried with me when I landed. That day the only thing that got me out the door of that plane when I was questioning the safety 'what if's' was the feeling I had whilst we took the flight up that you were watching over us and that we were going to be safe.
I tell my boys mummy jumped out of the plane in memory of a beautiful baby girl who was taken from this world too soon. When we blow bubbles we talk about you. When we are out at night and theres stars in the sky I tell them to look for the brightest star in the sky. They know you are special.
This year we are going to do it again, we will jump out of a plane and shout your name. And I'm going to run two half marathons and am now contemplating a full marathon. I plan to play Katy Perrys Firework as I finish all those races and I know I will cry at the end of all of them. When I run and it gets tough I think of you, and your wonderful loving family who have been so amazingly strong and it pushes me to carry on through the pain.
Matilda your name has spread so far and wide and Mummy has arranged some wonderful events and is continuing to do so. I think of you, and Mummy, and Daddy, and your wonderful brother and sister on a daily basis. You've had such an impact on the way I parent and live my life. You've taught me how precious life is and to embrace every opportunity. To be patient and take in the little things. Not to wish life away. To treasure the now. And I know I'm not the only one that feels that way.
You are in so many hearts, so many memories. We wont forget. We will always remember. xxxx

Whilst the rest of the world is currently being gripped by an acute case of soccer frenzy, sports fans in the US can't wait for their football season to begin!
The 2014 NFL season will mark the 95th edition of the tournament. This year's season begins on Thursday, September 4, when last year's Super Bowl Champions, the Seattle Seahawks, will face the Green Bay Packers at the annual kickoff game.
The nation has already had a taste of what's to come at the 2014 NFL Draft, which attracted a record number of non-senior players. Every newcomer's dream at the draft was to make it at this year's Super Bowl XLIX, which will take place on Sunday, February 1, 2015, at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale (AZ).
The 2014 regular season will be held over a 17-week period where a total of 256 games will be played among the 32 teams in the league.
The top matches
Every NFL fan will be rooting for their favorite team and surely they'll be looking forward most to seeing their colors on the field. However, some games are so big that they go beyond team preferences and transfix the entire nation.
The pundits have spoken and these are the five biggest matches you definitely should stock up beer for.
Houston Texas v Washington Redskins (Week 1)
Houston had it rough in 2013 and finished with the worst record in the NFL, but it has picked up the pace and with the help of a new quarterback they're pack on track to regain their former glory.
San Francisco 49ers v Denver Broncos (Week 7)
Watching two of the top teams in the NFL squaring off is always an exciting event for fans, so this matchup will be one of the hottest in the season. A brilliant mix of excellent offense meeting great defense: this match could have easily been last year's Super Bowl if the 49ers hadn't lost to the Seahawks.
Denver Broncos v New England Patriots (Week 9)
This game is going to be a good one. Not only are the Broncos and the Patriots two great teams, but their star players, Manning for the Broncos and Brady for the Patriots, have a long-standing rivalry which will translate in a thrilling performance on field.
San Francisco 49ers v Seattle Seahawks (Week 13)
One of the most anticipated matches of the season. When these two teams clash, there will be some fireworks for sure. There's no telling which way it could go. Both teams will be giving it their all in the field.
Dallas Cowboys v. Washington Redskins (Week 17)
The Cowboys have always been missing their shot at the final stages. They lost to all of their division competitors in the recent seasons, blowing off the chance to making it at the playoffs. The NFC East is one of the most competitive divisions this year, so keep your eyes peeled for this one.
Betting on NFL matchups
There's no better way to enjoy the NFL than by upping the stakes a little bit and put some money on the line.
Betting on a sporting event like the NFL is an easy and fun way to show your commitment to your team, and a way to make a nice profit out of an eventual victory.
The NFL is America's favorite sports betting event. There are many ways you can win money by betting on NFL games. The three basic types of NFL lines to bet on are: the point spread, money line and total. It may seem intimidating at first, but all the new jargon will start making sense after a while.
Point spread is one of the most popular types of NFL betting. Bookkeepers decide which team is more likely to win and assign it a certain number of point. If you bet on the favorites and they score more points that the spread, you win!
A money line wager is one of the simplest types of NFL betting. All you need to do is pick the team you believe will win the match and bet some money on their chances. If they win, you'll get your money back according to the odd ratios.
Finally, total (also known as over/under) involves betting on whether your team will score more or less points than the amount set by the bookkeepers.
Online betting
Betting on NFL matches is easy and it's even easier when you do it online.
There are loads of reputable operators you can trust online. Big companies like Bovada let you wager all the types of bets described in this article and more. To start playing, simply sign up to create an account and pick your favorite team.
Online betting operators have generous offers and promos running all year, some tailored to specific sporting events like the NFL. Look out for free cash and extra goodies that you could win simply by creating a new account.
Getting ready
Winning NFL bets takes more than pure luck. Keep up with the latest news, find out about the player's conditions and keep your ear to the ground to improve your chances of picking up the winners.
You can find tons of information online about betting strategies which can help you make a fortune during the 2014 NFL season. Play it right and you too could be a champion this season.Tags: Dallas, Dallas Cowboys, Denver, Denver Broncos, Football, New England Patriots, New York, New York Giants, NFL, San Francisco, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle, Seattle Seahawks, Washington, Washington Redskins

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell's softball team (17-18, 2-2 Big South) fell in the team's series finale to Radford (18-9, 5-1 Big South) by a 3-0 score on Saturday, March 31, at the Eakes Athletic Complex. The Camels won the first game of the series, but dropped the last two to the Highlanders.
Sophomore Olivia Scarborough (2-1) suffered her first loss of the season and allowed three runs in her six innings worked. The Buies Creek, N.C. native allowed five hits and struck out five in defeat. The win was earned by Radford's Jackie Jenkins (8-2). Jenkins allowed just two hits and one walk in throwing the complete game shutout.
The Highlanders struck first with two in the first inning. Nicole Beall walked and came in to score the first run on Vicki Madden's home run.
The Camels record the team's first hit of the game on junior Sarah Forgacs' lead-off single in the first inning. Jenkins then retired 12 straight until the fifth inning when senior Taylor McGee doubled to start the frame. The next three were retired in order to keep the margin at two.
Radford added an insurance run to the lead in the sixth inning on Ryndee Rusch's two-out single to plate Michelle Beall. Michelle Beall reached base as she was hit by a pitch to start the inning.
Campbell's other base runner came on Forgacs' one-out walk in the sixth inning.
Campbell continues play in the Big South Conference with a home doubleheader against Winthrop on April 4 starting at 4 p.m.

Movies in the Garden: Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious

Event Details
POSTPONED FROM MARCH 28th TO APRIL 1st DUE TO WEATHER.
Join the New Orleans Museum of Art and the New Orleans Film Society as we present the 2014 Spring series of Movies in the Garden in the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden! All programming for the evening is free with admission to the event. To kick off this series of classic cinema we're screening Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious on Tuesday, April 1st (postponed due to weather from 3/28). Activities and food start at 5pm. The film will begin at 7:30pm.
This outdoor film series in the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden will focus on classic movies that represent some of the most highly regarded films from cinema's "Golden Age" (1927-1963). These films, most of which were created through the Hollywood studio system, are marked by plots that progress through time in a linear way, are based on character-driven action (in traditional three acts), and the continuity (or "invisible") editing style. The style is "classical" because it is based on the classical principles of literature and art, those of balance and symmetry.
In Notorious, a brilliant allegory of love and betrayal, director Alfred Hitchcock fuses two of his favorite elements: suspense and romance. A beautiful woman with a tainted past (Ingrid Bergman) is enlisted by American agent Devlin (Cary Grant) to spy on a ring of Nazis in post-war Rio. Her espionage work becomes life-threatening after she marries the most debonair of the Nazi ring, Alex (Claude Rains, in an Oscar-nominated role). Only Devlin can rescue her, but to do so he must face his role in her desperate situation and acknowledge that he's loved her all along. Deemed "the most elegant expression of the master's visual style" by Roger Ebert, the film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Gov. Peter Shumlin today vowed in his annual Budget Speech to continue his Administration's work to grow jobs and economic opportunity.
"Every spending proposal I have pursued as Governor has been designed to promote economic development and prosperity for Vermont. This budget is no different," Gov. Shumlin said in the speech to state lawmakers. "It keeps our promise to invest in our infrastructure and in our people, and it relies on a unified, coordinated strategy for economic growth, targeting every sector of our economy and every one of our communities."
The Governor highlighted the good things happening across the state in recent years. The state's unemployment rate is the fifth lowest in America, and more than 11,000 jobs have been added since 2011, with 2000 in the manufacturing and professional services sector in the last year alone.
Although state general fund revenues have continued to climb in the last three years, Vermont, like other states, is coping with reduced federal funding. The Governor said that his budget proposal once again balances the books, closing the $71 million spending gap without increases to sales, income, or rooms and meals taxes on Vermonters. He added that his budget also significantly reduces the state's reliance on one-time funds that increased in the years following the start of the recent recession, using only $30 million in such funds this year, about half as much as last year.
As set forth in the Budget Book submitted today by the Agency of Administration, this year's budget proposals include:
Homelessness and Poverty Prevention:
$4.3 million to support the Governor's anti-poverty initiatives including:
A doubling of the Vermont Rental Subsidy Program to $1 million in total.
An increase of $300,000 to the Emergency Solutions Grant, which helps support emergency shelters. These programs were facing a loss of $200,000 due to federal sequestration cuts. The additional $100,000 will increase seasonal capacity.
An increase of $200,000 in Family Supportive Housing, which provides case management and aid to homeless families as they find housing.
Increases for child care providers, including an $800,000 boost to providers of the highest quality care in the state, as well as an increase of $740,000 to families qualifying for assistance with child care as a result of an update of the federal poverty level.
An additional $650,000 for substance abuse and mental health treatment services for Reach Up recipients, the top recommendation of the legislatively-directed Reach Up Policy Workgroup. When matched, the total funding will be $1,226,197.
Drug Addiction Treatment and Prevention:
More than $10 million to support the Governor's opiate treatment initiatives, including:
$8 million in ongoing funding for the Care Alliance for Opioid Addiction.
$200,000 in the FY 2014 Governor's Budget Adjustment Recommendations to eliminate the opiate treatment wait list throughout Vermont. $760,000 to expand rapid intervention based on the successful Chittenden County model. This program will provide objective, evidence-based assessments to help our state's attorneys and our courts determine who may qualify for immediate treatment and services, and then hire the necessary personnel to monitor their recovery.
Funding to allow the Hungry Heart movie campaign to be shown to students throughout Vermont, in an effort to prevent addiction.
Human Services and Healthcare Innovative Funding:
A 2% increase, starting January 1, 2015, in Medicaid reimbursement rates, to recognize inflation and to minimize cost shifts to private payers.
Provides funds for caseload pressures in human service programs. For example, the budget includes approximately $10.5 million in additional funding for Developmental Services.
Includes an increase in the Health Care Claims Assessment of 0.8% to cover the ongoing costs of the Vermont Health Exchange. The proposed Medicaid reimbursement inflationary increase will alleviate pressure on premiums.
Includes funding for the opening of the Vermont Psychiatric Care Hospital in Berlin and continues the implementation of community-based mental health programs.
Education and Workforce Development:
Fully funds the statutory General Fund transfer to the Education Fund and the actuarial recommendations for state employees' and teachers' pension plans.
Includes $2.5 million to implement a phased-in plan, being developed in conjunction with the State Treasurer, to pay for, in partnership with teachers and school districts, retired teachers' health insurance. The plan contemplates using $8 to $10 million of the $11.8 million in the Supplemental Property Tax Relief Fund for a phase-in to avoid an increase in property taxes.
Maintains funding for the Next Generation workforce development programs and the Vermont Job Training Program, increases funds for Regional Development Corporations and the Small Business Development Center, includes base funding for the Working Lands Enterprise Initiative with a 5% increase over last year, provides a 9% increase for the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board, and includes a $500,000 increase for our Downtown Tax Credit Program, which will leverage an additional $7.5 million for downtown and village center projects.
Increases Higher Education funding by 2%, effective January 1, 2015.
Includes record level transportation investments of $686 million in FY 2015, an increase of $33 million (5%), and includes $250 million of state funds, $407 million of federal funds, and $3 million of local funds. This includes $140 million for repairs to our aging bridges and $116 million for paving. These critical investments are anticipated to address the needs of over 100 bridges, perform preventive maintenance on dozens more structures, and improve more than 300 miles of pavement.
The transportation budget also continues the vision of boosting tourism and mobility along the western corridor rail line. FY 2015's appropriation of $19 million will extend 10 miles of improved rail lines and additional improvements to the corridor and brings us to within 12 miles and 13 rail crossings of delivering passenger rail service between Rutland and Burlington.
Mindful of our continuing energy challenges and our need to drive down our carbon usage, my transportation budget proposal invests nearly $32 million in public transit including expanding car- and van-pooling, boosting the intercity bus network and developing electric vehicle charging stations for the regional "Green Highway." It also invests nearly $8 million in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.
Capital Fund:
Consistent with the recommendation of the Capital Debt Affordability Advisory Committee, the overall two year $159.9 million debt authorization will not change this year. Utilizing available funds from bond premiums previously authorized but now unissued debt, and sale of property, additional capital spending of $6.7 million will be used to complete the new Montpelier biomass heat plant, support clean water and lake clean-up projects, and plan a new combined Natural Resources and Agriculture lab.
There has never been a time when our Department of Buildings and General Services has been asked to undertake as many large scale projects as in the last three years. The move of the Agency of Natural Resources to the National Life Building in Montpelier is complete.
The new Agency of Education headquarters in Barre will be ready this spring, as will the new Capitol District Biomass Heat Plant.
The new Health Department Lab in Colchester is scheduled for occupancy in October.
Completion of the Vermont Psychiatric Care Hospital in Berlin is projected for this summer.
The major rehabilitation of the Waterbury State Office Complex is now well underway.
An exciting downtown revitalization project in St. Albans, involving a new office building for our state employees, is moving ahead.
We will also commit about $16 million in major maintenance for our existing buildings in this two-year cycle.

Saturday essay: Fall's frustration
In many locales this year, fall's glory seemed to fizzle rather than pop. Spots of color, in a few cases brilliant, appeared here and there. Then in short order, those manifestations of the changing seasons began to flutter to the ground, gradually but surely piling up.
It's an injustice that the majesty of fall passed so quickly, transitioning into what for many will be weeks of collecting, composting or otherwise cursing the fallen leaves. As memory serves, this year's cleanup began much earlier than in previous years, as if an impatient winter were trying to cheat fall out of its full stay. And that truly would be an injustice.
Whether you rake 'em, mulch 'em, bag 'em, blow 'em or collect 'em in a big tarp for disposal elsewhere, the fallen leaves combine for a joyless task. They fall on their own schedule, not yours. And after you rake and pile and collect them, your property will look just as cluttered within 24 hours from the time you put down the rake.
The alternative, of course, is to wait for all the leaves to come down and deal with that compounded mess in one long cleanup. But even that is no sure bet. On my property there's a stubborn oak, a holdout, that each year retains its leaves for weeks after all the other trees have shed theirs.
"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree," wrote English novelist and poet Emily Bronte. Obviously in the aftermath of fall's grandeur, she never spent hours on end raking leaves.

Home > Sport > Horseracing > Article
A jockey, Glen Boss, who returned to racing barely a year ago after cheating death by millimetres.
An owner, Tony Santic, who has been betting to win millions this week but was all at sea in a leaky boat a decade ago, battling to catch enough orange roughy off Tasmania to stop the bank kicking him, his wife and their five kids out of their home.
And a horse, the 8-1 second favourite Makybe Diva, who was named after five office girls, Maureen, Kylie, Belinda, Diane and Vanessa, working in a South Australian tuna business.
From the miraculous to the delightfully mundane, yesterday's $4.6 million Melbourne Cup produced a winner whose story seemed to have everything; a quintessentially Australian story on this most Australian of days.
What's more, a record crowd of 122,732 was there to watch.
Eighteen months ago, Boss, racing in Macau "toppled off the back of a horse", breaking the C2 vertebra in the neck. "I knew I'd broken it so I didn't move," he said. "I just lay there thinking how was I going to come out of this."
Lying still proved to be a smart non-move. Had he moved, just millimetres, he could have died, or been left paralysed from the neck down. Even then, neurosurgeons warned he would not be able to race for more than a year.
He beat the odds then. And he did so at Flemington yesterday, piloting Makybe Diva home ahead of a pack in which the favourite, Mamool, finished last, and Millstreet, the second of Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's horses, finished third last.
Once again, his gold-plated Godolphin Stables was reminded that money cannot buy the Cup. It had another horror afternoon.
Boss, by contrast, had a perfect run. "Everywhere I went it was just happening for me. It was like I was in 'the zone'," he said after Makybe Diva was chased home by She's Archie. "I was all smiles, all teeth by the 500-metre mark."
So was Santic, 51, who was born on the Croatian island of Lastovo. A poor migrant, his father worked at the Ford car plant at Geelong, before moving to Port Lincoln in South Australia, where he cut wood for sleepers and started tuna fishing.
Tony joined him when he was 16. Only in the past few years has the tuna farming turned lucrative, allowing him to indulge his growing interest in horses. "I'd catch more fish and I'd say to them [my racing team], 'Buy more horses'."
So little did he think of Makybe Diva that he tried to sell the mare in England, but she failed even to reach the reserve price. Instead, she was brought back to Australia.
Under the expert eye of trainer David Hall, who had three horses in yesterday's Cup, she was prepared for the nation's biggest race.
This time the media-shy Santic, who has described himself as a bad punter, was impressed - so much so that he and his mates are believed to have wagered enough to double the race-winner's prize of $2.7 million.
Makybe Diva's popular win provided an emotional climax to a race build-up that was controversial even by Cup standards.
One horse, Holy Orders, had refused to run for several days. All 24 horses had been given a run for their money in the publicity stakes by a pony, Henry, the constant companion of Jardine's Lookout.
And, at dawn yesterday, just when all seemed to be set, there was a further dramatic twist when one-time favourite Mummify, already the centre of a brawl involving trainer Lee Freedman, jockey Danny Nikolic and the stewards - was sensationally withdrawn.
Overnight Mummify, too, had become hot under the collar - but with a suspected virus.
Shame: he missed a great day. And a fine day, for after a cold, murky Monday, Flemington was sunnily suited to displays of flesh.
And as designer Leona Edmiston had predicted, flirtation - and thereby flesh - was this year's fashion statement. So smart and sexy was the crush that only in The Birdcage - a sort of glitzy shantytown of modest huts, huge marquees and temporary pleasure domes - was it possible to pick the celebs from picnicking hoi polloi.
Like the rest of us, all were scanning form books, connecting with "connections", trying to pick a winner.
As someone, at the big end of The Birdcage, put it, "This year the trick is to see where the Swiss money is going."

The number of studies that Aspen Valley Hospital (AVH) performs to diagnose locals' sleep disorders has more than tripled since 2008.
Sleep studies, which are ordered by physicians, monitor patients' vitals overnight in order to diagnose possible sleep disorders, said Lori Maloy, clinical director of outpatient services. They measure sleep cycles by recording blood oxygen levels, body position, brain waves, breathing rate, electrical activity of muscles, eye movement and heart rate, she said.
In 2008 AVH performed 14 studies, according to Maloy. That number rose to 46 in 2011 and there have been about 37 performed so far this year, Maloy said.
Hospital officials are responding to the jump in the number of studies by including two rooms in the hospital's expansion dedicated to performing the tests, said AVH CEO Dave Ressler.
Currently, the sleep studies are done in rooms that are intended for patient care and sometimes the tests have to be canceled or delayed, because the hospital doesn't have any beds, Maloy said.
The new rooms will be homelike to provide better comfort to patients undergoing the tests and there will be an adjacent room for technicians to monitor them, Maloy said.
Hospital officials aren't sure why the number of locals undergoing the study has increased so drastically over the past few years, but they have some theories.
For one, patients used to have to travel to Glenwood Springs to get them done and it's probably taken a few years for people to figure out they can do the study at AVH, Maloy said.
Another guess is that people who live at altitude have a more difficult time breathing and a significant portion of the local population is reaching advanced age, Maloy said.
The majority of patients treated are over the age of 60 and have sleep apnea, which refers to pauses in breathing or instances of abnormally low breathing during sleep, Maloy said.
"Sometimes people don't know it, they don't know why they're waking up in the middle of the night," Ressler said. "But it's because they literally stop breathing. ... At high altitude we tend to have more issues with it."
Maloy said that creating rooms dedicated to performing sleep studies is one way hospital officials are trying to accommodate the aging population.
"That's something that we talk about a lot in our leadership meetings," Maloy said. "But I think our primary focus is prevention in the community."
Unhealthy and overweight people tend to have more difficulty breathing and suffer from sleep apnea, Maloy said. That's one reason why it's important to make sure people are proactive in maintaining their health. Still, many people in Aspen meet the health-nut stereotype, she said.
"We're a relatively healthy population," she said. "Our patients usually don't die from heart attacks, they die from trying to climb fourteeners."

Within a few weeks, Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley will begin more aggressive prosecution of medical marijuana dispensaries throughout the county, arguing most of them are illegally operating for a profit, he said Thursday.
Cooley's office estimates there are some 900 dispensaries operating in Los Angeles County — concentrated in the city, and particularly in the San Fernando Valley.
"Any medical marijuana dispensary that is selling over the counter for a profit is allegedly violating the law as written," said Sandi Gibbons, spokeswoman for the District Attorney's Office. "And it's our job to enforce the law as written.
"Now if there are collectives or people getting compassionate marijuana in the proper way as outlined in the law, then that is fine. It's the ones that are operating outside the law that are being targeted."
Cooley's office is still preparing for the stepped-up enforcement and held a training session for police officers Thursday. The new enforcement effort was expected to be formally announced in a few weeks.
But Gibbons said the DA's Office has already prosecuted about a dozen dispensaries, including several in the Valley, and several defendants have pleaded guilty.
Aides to Los Angeles City Attorney Carmen Trutanich said he has not changed his position on the issue and no action would be taken against legal collectives.
"Where there is a problem is all these other places that have opened selling marijuana," said Deputy City Attorney David Berger.
An ordinance going before the City Council spells out the requirements, he said.
Berger said it is also a public health issue, with officials showing some marijuana purchased in some of the outlets containing dangerously high levels of insecticide.
Kris Hermes, spokesman for the pro-medical marijuana group Americans For Safe Access, said his organization has seen little evidence that most dispensaries are breaking state law by operating for a profit or knowingly selling to people who are not legitimate patients.
"There are other ways of enforcing alleged violations of state or local law," Hermes said. "We would certainly encourage (the D.A.) not to take aggressive criminal enforcement action against dispensaries and instead use the civil courts to prosecute them if they believe there has been a violation of state law."

Helen Flanagan and her glorious pout made an appearance at Thursday night's Nuts magazine 10th birthday bash.
The former Corrie star swung over to the bash held at trendy London club Aura Mayfair dressed in a black jumpsuit and purple heels - and cut an unusually demure figure as she posed for pictures.
Not like most of the celebs in attendance, however.
Continuing what appears to be January's theme among many famous faces, there was also a great deal of cleavage on show.
Hot on the heels of her satrorial effort at the National Television Awards, Valleys star Nicole Morris rocked another very revealing outfit, while Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace arrived in a plunging long-sleeved lace top, which came dangerously close to showing off her nipples - let alone most of her ample cleavage.
Frankie Essex - who'll no longer be appearing in TOWIE after a mutual agreement with producers - also sported a cleavage-baring blue and white bodycon frock.
Made In Chelsea's Louis Thompson kept things chic and classy in a form-fitting yellow and black frock, which she teamed with a tiny gold clutch and black strappy heels.
Earlier that evening, Flanners rocked up to the Pure Rally event in a swanky white Lamborghini.
The actress, who recently quit Manchester to move to the Midlands to be with boyfriend Scott Sinclair, was announced as the face of the brand's Marbella rally later this year.
For all the
amazing messy pictures from the night, have a good gawp at the gallery below...

Clearly, he judged that the current exact set of behaviours with regard to caret position were optimal. It is my contention that: A. They may not actually be optimal, at least not according to my taste. At the very least, it is a hack to misrepresent the location of Const nodes just so the core system can blame things on Const nodes and have the user see the coercion being at fault. I appreciate that it wouldn't have seemed to matter at the time, but the fact remains. B. The question of where the caret goes in relevant cases - the location of the coercion, or the location of the constant - is inconsequential to the vast majority of Postgres users, if not all, even if the existing behaviour is technically superior according to the prevailing aesthetic. On the other hand, it matters a lot to me that I be able to trust the Const location under all circumstances - I'd really like to not have to engineer a way around this behaviour, because the only way to do that is with tricks with the low-level scanner API, which would be quite brittle. The fact that "select integer '5'" is canonicalised to "select ?" isn't very pretty. That's not the only issue though, as even to get that more limited behaviour lots more code is required, that is more difficult to verify as correct. "Canonicalise one token at each Const location" is a simple and robust approach, if only the core system could be tweaked to make this assumption hold in all circumstances, rather than just the vast majority. Tom's point example does not seem to be problematic to me - the cast *should* blame the 42 const token, as the cast doesn't work as a result of its representation, which is in point of fact why the core system blames the Const node and not the coercion one. For that reason, the constant vs expression thing strikes me as false equivalency. All of that said, I must reiterate that the difference in behaviour strike me as very unimportant, or it would if it was not so important to what I'm trying to do with pg_stat_statements. Can this be accommodated? It might be a matter of changing the core system to blame the coercion node rather than the Const node, if you're determined to preserve the existing behaviour.

NHS bodies have been given a reprieve from an estimated £500m tax bill after confusion over rules allowing public bodies to recover VAT paid on outsourced services, according to Baker Tilly.
New internal guidance from HMRC to government departments and NHS bodies could impose a more restrictive VAT recovery on contracted-out capital expenditure, agency staff and professional services, Baker Tilly said.
The idea is that all public bodies will be subject to the same rules on VAT recovery under section 41 of the VAT Act.

For the first time in three weeks, Grammar FP's 2nd XI had a full strength team to play against Crescent at the Duthie Park. Coming into the team to join Fryer, Rama, Magesh, Milne, Karthik and Johnston were Kieran Whyte, Ian Goodenough, Mike Blues, Ben Frizzell and nursing a holiday excess knee wound with three stitches, came Doug Russell.
FP's lost the toss and were asked to bat on a patchy wicket marked with numerous worm mounds.
Openers Fryer and Rama soon discovered the wicket was two paced, Fryer became the first victim when a ball from Thangaraj stopped but unfortunately Fryer's stroke did not and he lobbed an easy catch to short cover for 1 run, FP's 1 – 1.
After last week's stunning collapse at Methlick, Rama and new batsman Johnston were determined not to lose another quick wicket. Opening bowlers Abrar & Thangaraj were bowling well in tandem, Arbrar getting late swing , and Thangaraj bowling with pace and seaming the ball away. The scoring was slow, but Rama played a great straight drive for six to ease the pressure, and some sharp running also kept the score moving.
After 16 overs Thangaraj bowled Johnston with an excellent slower ball for 5, Johnston was through his shot and half way back to the bandstand before hearing the dreaded death rattle, FP's 36 – 2.
Crescent replaced Abrar with Kanwar, a bowler whose approach to the wicket resembled someone trying to run up a 'down' escalator. But Kanwar got a lift second over when Rama, who had batted with good restraint was caught in the covers, Rama scoring 23 (1 x 6), FP's 36 – 3.
Mike Blues was soon out, LBW to Thangaraj for a duck and there were shades of the batting collapse previous week when Frizzell was bowled by a good ball from Thangaraj also for a duck, FP's now 43 – 5. Goodenough was next to be dismissed, walking when edging behind for 5 , FP's in free-fall at 54 – 6. Only six runs had been added when Whyte was beaten by a shooter, out LBW without troubling the scorers.
With another low score looming, Karthik and Andy Milne dug in and began the fight back. Karthik played his natural game and scored quickly, while the inexperienced Milne played the perfect foil at the other end by keeping out the good ball, and running well to give Karthik the strike when possible.
The 7th wicket partnership was frustrating the Crescent bowling, and Karthik was scoring boundaries all round the wicket. He reached an excellent 54 (1 x 6, 6 x 4s) before being out caught by Birch off Vikas and along with the increasingly confident Milne had added 57 runs in 13 overs.
But Milne then played some outstanding drives, including a couple through mid on for four. Russell limped to the wicket and managed to score 5 before edging Vikas behind to the keeper and walking without protest.
Milne then hit Ward for two great drives to the boundary and was last man out for very well constructed 25 ( 5 x 4), FP's total 131 off 42.4 overs.
This was a great FP's come back led by Karthik and Milne who effectively doubled the total by sensible batting on a tricky wicket. Pick of the bowling attack were Thangaraj with 4 – 23 and Abrar 2 – 30.
Karthik opened the bowling for Grammar from the Winter Garden end, with Whyte bowling from the Obelisk End.
The bowling was tight and in the 8th over with the score on 17, the accurate bowling of Whyte finally told and Ward was bowled by a ball which pitched on leg and hit middle.
Karthik then bowled Vikas with a lovely inswinger, and Whyte struck again next over by bowling opener Abrar for 12 (2 x 4), Crescent 27 – 3 off 8.4 overs.
Magesh was brought on from the Winter Garden end, Karthik having bowled 7 – 0 – 40 – 1. Batsmen Link and Thangaraj batted well seeing off Whyte, who was unlucky not to take several more wickets in his spell of 9 – 2 – 17 – 2.
The 4th wicket partnership had added 48 runs without offering a chance, the batsmen taking advantage of the big outfield where at times Karthik was fielding so far away on the mid wicket boundary he looked like a subbuteo player.
But Crescent were looking comfortable, and with plenty of overs remaining, FP's needed a breakthrough. Magesh finally tempted Thangaraj into an injudicious attacking shot with a more flighted delivery, and the bowler took a good caught and bowled catch to make the vital breakthrough, Crescent 75 – 4 off 20.4 overs.
Blues had replaced Whyte and in his second over bowled a brilliant ball to Rama which pitched on leg and then changed direction to hit leg stump, a measure of the unexpected outcome being the spilt second silence until the fielders realised what had actually happened. Keeper Frizzell did well to stop the other balls in Blues's spell which did not change direction!
Crescent then staged a mini recovery with Link and Birch adding 14 vital runs, and with the score approaching 100, Whyte was recalled to the attack. The effect was immediate as he bowled Link with his second ball for a fighting 27 (3 x 4) and next ball had debutant lady hockey player Eleanor out first ball caught at point by Goodenough, Crescent now struggling badly on 93 – 7.
Magesh then had Kanwar caught by Johnston at short cover for 4, Crescent 98 – 8. The match was completed next over with two more wickets for Whyte, when he bowed Birch for 8 and two balls later comprehensively bowled last man McClennan for 0, Crescent all out 100 in 27.5 overs.
Grammar were relieved to take full points from this match having been struggling until Karthik and Milne turned the match with a great stand. Whyte finally got the wickets his pace and accuracy deserved as the Crescent tail collapsed, losing the last 5 wickets for 7 runs.
Whyte declined the opportunity to buy a jug of ale after his five – as he was suffering from a hangover. Hmm. Maybe there's a lesson there for us all. Correction, some of us. Some of us have already tried that pre-match ritual and ale'd miserably.
Man of the Match – Karthik, great counter attacking innings which gave FP's a total to defend, took a wicket and outstanding in the field as usual.
Champagne Moment – The catch which finally allowed mixed hockey player Ian Goodenough to get the better of a lady hockey player.

I must be really blind to this stuff because this story shocked me.
I must be really blind to this stuff because this story shocked me.
I heard about this last year. It seemed that the students did not have a real problem with it. The majority of the white kids did not like rap music, they wanted rock n roll and country and vice versa. The media had the bigger problem with it, and the negative press put pressure on the school.
Why was it allowed at this school? Why was it not a problem in surrounding counties with similar student populations?

Bill, I would not be so arrogant. Well, not about this. Professor
Wells, like all editors, is doing his best given the texts and his
understanding of them. He has made it clear he is attempting to produce
the Q Shakespeare intended to write. Assuming he is thinking the same
way after 15 years, his book gives us an opportunity to understand his
thought process as he solves these editorial problems.
I don't think the discussion has been in the least general. I sent my
post because the discussion was so much about Wells editorial approach,
as applied to a specific problem. This fact was unacknowledged and
possibly not understood by everyone, but must be true. It also seemed
clear that in some cases (probably not you), some list members wrote
without understanding Wells' method. I felt that some of the posts
(again, not your's, I found your's persuasive) showed ignorance of what
Professor Wells is doing.
So, no, I do not call for putting Wells under scrutiny on this list,
though list members have the right to do so, hopefully with informed
opinions. But why just scrutinize Stanley Wells? Why not drag in
Bowers, etc., etc., and etc.? Go back to Malone and Johnson if you

Once she's out at the busy parking lot, she undresses again, then streaks all naked through the lot! At home, she puts on some cute lingerie & heels, poses for us, then masturbates. Using a vibrator, we see how easily she has an orgasm! A second time we notice those strong contractions as she has her real, natural orgasms. She takes it a step further, and stuffs two vibrators in her vagina, stretching herself to the max! A little frisky foolishness at a fast food restaurant, and its back home again, this time in dressy fashion. She looks really hot with her dress & heels, and even hotter as she spreads for us for some extreme closeups. Long labia are stretched, then she fingers herself until she has four fingers in! Notice how juicy she is in there. Masturbating again, she has an orgasm rather quickly, but goes for a second... just because she loves to have several in a day! Then stripping down for us again, she gives us a breast & butt massage. Finding the Long Pink toy, she takes this rather large toy deep, and watches herself in the mirror as she pounds herself hard. Using it like a vibrator, she has one last strong orgasm for the night

Why it's hard for a Young Athlete to Speak Up about their Abuse
The Orange County Register brought light to the Mission Viejo Nadadores swim team up and coming young coach Daniel Ad'm Dunesbury and his alleged relationship with a sixteen-year-old swimmer that occurred back in 2006. Click here to read the entire article.
Here is the Safe4Athletes response to both the article and the Mission Viejo response.
Sexual abuse in sports of a young athlete is often not immediately recognized or understood, however over time everyone around the situation is affected in some way shape or form.
This situation is a perfect example why it is difficult for a young girl to speak up about the abuse. This response focuses on even the alleged victim unwillingness to come forward (Risk reward for the girl, there isn't any for saying something happened) and the timeline as to how they reacted.

Charlie Hunnam Not Frontrunner for '50 Shades of Grey', Alicia Vikander in the Mix
Is Charlie Hunnam really the frontrunner for portraying the sex-addicted billionaire Christian Grey in the highly-anticipated erotic film "Fifty Shades of Grey"? According to sources close to the "Pacific Rim" leading man and some insiders, the answer is apparently no. To Variety, they reveal that the news first reported by Twitch is not true at all.
Hunnam is just one of many names linked to the project. Previously, Ian Somerhalder, Armie Hammer and Aaron Johnson were named strong contenders for the coveted role, but none of them had any interest in playing the fictional character made by British author E.L. James.
Meanwhile, for the role of Anastasia Steele, there have also been many actresses reported being in the mix. Last week, fans learned that Dakota Johnson was among them. Now, the latest reports reveal that the list of the potential depicter also has Alicia Vikander, Imogen Poots and Shailene Woodley.
Up to now, neither Focus Features nor director Sam Taylor-Johnson has commented on the news. However, as some studio sources told Cinema Blend, fans can expect to hear about the official offers after Labor Day.
To be released in August 2014, "Fifty Shades of Grey" will be based on the best-selling novel, which is adapted by scribe Kelly Marcel.

Photomizer Review
Photomizer is referred to as the image editing software of the next generation. Why ? Because it is:
- Simple
- Intelligent
- Automatic
- Powerful
It can transform hundreds of images, and automatically improve the most important aspects of every image such as exposure, sharpness, contrast, colors, white balance, recover detail from shadows and highlights, and much more. Simply put, it's an automated photo studio on your PC.
Who is it for ?
Photomizer is very easy to use and requires absolutely no image editing experience whatsoever. It's simple and straightforward interface clearly shows that it is aimed for photographers that are not willing to spend hours in front of a complex photo editing or photo development software such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom touching up every single aspect of a photo. Apart from choosing among one of the photo presets, and the target photo resolution (in case there is resizing involved) there are not many options to choose from. In case of photomizer this is actually a good thing….
Simple, yet powerful
As the header suggests, photomizer is very simplistically designed. The overall idea on how to use it is as follows: Select input photo or a folder containing photos; Choose one of the photo development presets and adjust specifics; Define an output folder for the processed photos, and hit Start. Simple !
Photomizer is optimized to use with the following photo development presets:
1. Archive – This option is ideal for automatically processing your latest photos from your memory card and storing them on your hard drive and/or DVD.
2. Web optimized – A very useful option for touching up and automatically resizing your photos to be used on the web. File size is clearly an important issue, and photomizer makes sure that the file size is acceptable to be published on the web.
3. Picture frame – Since nowadays picture frames are widely available, an automatic optimization for the picture frame is definitely welcome. Resolutions for resizing vary from 128×128 up to 2560×1080 including 1920×1080 for HDTVs. Every resizing provides an automatic crop, adding borders or stretch option for fixing the aspect ratio.
4. HDR optimized – An extraordinary feature that turns an average photo into an HDR from a single file. Very useful if you would like to see how an HDR would look like, but do not want to bother with merging exposures and tone mapping in tools such as e.g. Photomatix.
5. Brighten – Simple, yet intelligent brightening feature.
How does it work ?
According to their website, Photomizer is composed of a complex network of psycho-visual and mathematical procedures, allowing the software to analyze any photo with high precision, provide visual optimization, and make it look more realistic. The most essential component to this process is the reconstruction of the image in a way consistent with how the human eye would have seen it. Simultaneously, an innovative selective object detection algorithm ensures that the only parts of the picture to be optimized are the parts which need to be. With this process, Photomizer is practically a fully automated photo lab in your pocket: pictures receive a widened dynamic range, human faces in the picture are detected and optimized by relevance, exposure mistakes and colors are corrected, and shadows are lightened. The software can apply any and all of these functions without any required user action.
How does it look ?
Below are some photos before and after they have been photomized. See for yourselves.
The photos that originally had wrong exposure, or muted colors like underwater photos of fish benefited the most from the photomizer. However, all of the photos showed significant improvements both in terms of impact and quality. On a more personal note, I have put most of my honeymoon photos from the Maldives through photomizer, and was very happy with the overall result. The colors on the photos looked much more vibrant and accurate, the sand, the water and vegetation, all of them looked exactly as I had remembered them.
There is always a but…
Such image manipulation usually comes at a steep price, and photomizer is no exception. The overall conversion process is demanding and photomizing large batch of files will usually take quite a while. The table below shows conversion times for the following amounts of photos:
|Number of photos
|5 min, 51s
|30 min, 20s
|56 min, 16s
Note that the measurements were taken with archive preset (no resizing), on a laptop running Dual Core @2,20 Ghz, with 4 GB RAM and Windows 7. The minimum requirements for running photomizer are PC with 1 Ghz, 1GB RAM and Windows XP. However if you would compare how much time it would take to manually do all of the alterations that photomizer did automatically, photomizer wins hands down. I have tried to see how much time it would take me to do similar modifications for a single photo in Photoshop Elements (adjust exposure, levels, sharpness, highlights, shadows, and to resize a photo), and the best time I came up with was around 2 minutes. Compare that with 3,5 seconds (photomizer average), and multiply by a 100, and you will realize that photomizer is a huge time saver.
Other few remarks we had regarding photomizer was that it did not rotate our images based on their metadata information (like some other software such as e.g. Picasa), and the fact that the photo (EXIF) information is not shown on the main screen.
We liked:
- Automatic image improvement
- Amazing results with underwater photos of fish
- Ability to convert 100s of images in a single batch
- Non-destructive
- Very simple to use
- Optimize for web, image frame, archive, even make an HDR
- Only the parts of the image that need touch up are adjusted.
- Very powerful for the price (29.99€)
We didn't like:
- The image information (EXIF) is not visible in the main screen
- Slow processing with large number of images
- The photos did not rotate based on their meta-data
- Lack of manual (But honestly, its not necessary)
Closing Comments
Overall, we were impressed with Photomizer, and the result that it left on our photos. It really raised some of our old photos back from the dead, thus fully delivering on its promise that it is an image editing software of a next generation. The interface is clean and simple, and the presets greatly simplify the process. It comes down to input photos, choose the preset, and hit go. It does not get much simpler than that.
Photomizer might be a little slow when processing big batches of photos, however the time it saves a photographer regarding photo editing is priceless. Although it cannot compete with Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom in terms of image editing freedom, it does not even try to. Photomizer is clearly aimed towards a photographer whose primary goal is taking photos, and minimizing the post processing time.
Considering the fact that Photomizer costs 29.99€, we believe it is an excellent deal for automating your digital darkroom, and it well deserves our recommendation.

On today's edition of mediabistro's daily podcast, Morning Media Menu, GalleyCat editor Jason Boog discussed a social network that's all business, travel reviews on Google Maps, and the worst sentence of the year.
In the podcast, we speculated what would happen to the folks at Frommer's now that Google has acquired the travel publisher. Are travel reviews in the works at Google+Local?
We also looked at Salesforce Community, a private social network for companies and their clients.
In other news, this year's Bulwer-Lytton Fiction contest winner has written a sentence that's so bad, it's good. Boog concludes the podcast with a dramatic reading.

Yamaguchi prefecture has some interesting backroads and whenever I go to Japan, I usually get around here since this is where many of my relatives live. The occasion of this roadtrip was to stay at an onsen as a pre-wedding celebration, but also to visit a relative who, unfortunately, recently fell ill. Because we had to shuffle our plans due to our relative's illness, we decided to stay at an onsen in Yuda, which is an onsen town, and near the hospital.
Let me back up a bit and talk about the roadtrip. We started in Hiroshima and drove along the Oseto sea, along the main highway. Although this was a fairly short trip, we had to make frequent stops to accommodate the older folks. And for the chowhound in me, I really wanted to stop at the rest stops along the highways in Japan, since they're very different from the ones in the US. Apparently, the rest stop on the highway at Miyajima-guchi is well known for the view (of Miyajima island), so there are plenty of people stopping, which also means that there's a brisk food business. This is one of the several food stalls offering food.
There's also a cafeteria inside and a corridor full of vending machines, offering a full array of drinks as well as some snack foods. Inside, in the cafeteria, there are plenty of choices for hot foods like udon, or donburi, and other standards, and also a few little stores selling the local specialties. At Miyajima-guchi, it's oysters. Outside, at the food stands, it's like a festival. Okonomiyaki, various grilled items on sticks, roasted chestnuts, sweet potatoes, and other foods that are convenient on the go. However, like most festivals, the food is good, but not entirely wonderful. We got some chestnuts, and some grill/fried items on sticks and left it at that, since we would be stopping for lunch later.
Here's a view from the reststop parking lot.
If you look carefully at the sea, you see all the oyster beds. And the beds continue for a few miles along the highway.
The older folks usually want to eat washoku (Japanese food), so stopping at a MosBurger won't do the trick, but in these rural towns, finding a quick washoku stop could be difficult. Luckily we found a place called Yume-an (夢庵), a washoku chain, in a shopping center just off the main road going to Yuda. Yume-an was an ideal choice with something for everyone, and good prices. I got the ten-don. Maybe I haven't searched enough for it in the US, but I've never had an exceptional ten-don in the US, while the ten-dons I've had in Japan have always been pretty darn good, even at chain shops like this one or Ten-ya. The nabeyaki udon seemed like it would be good since it comes out like an actual nabe, cooked on the table, but it seems a little misconceived since some of the ingredients, like the tempura need to be laid on top at the end of the cooking, rather than have it cooked into the soup. I was interested in their seasonal offerings, and they had big advertisements for the "crab fair" going on, featuring many types of crab dishes, from donburi, to croquettes, to nabemono. Their website has photos, though you have to navigate to the menu pages. We were pretty happy with the offerings at Yume-an, and if there was a place like this in the US for these prices, I'd be there in an instant.
Yume-an website: http://www.skylark.co.jp/yumean/index...
The place that my relatives stay is a ryokan called Fujinoya (for a good value along with good food), but they couldn't handle our group on short notice, so we had to make alternate plans and found another ryokan called Koteru (小てる). Koteru is a basic onsen ryokan that doesn't really go above and beyond the standard services. Perhaps it can be considered a blue-collar ryokan. It's a decent value, but compared to other ryokans I've stayed at, it's very basic. The hot springs in Yuda run hotter than most, and the onsens in town are said to keep the water pretty hot, as was the case at Koteru. The food, though decent, was nothing to write home about, though there were a few little surprises. They didn't have in-room service, so we ate in a nondescript dining room (almost cafeteria-like) and were served the usual ryokan courses, with sashimi, grilled fish, chawan-mushi, soba noodles, and most surprisingly, a westernized chicken dish baked in foil and flavored with rosemary. The sashimi was really good. The older folks commented that it was very good sashimi, and the matron of the house was nice enough to bring out another order of sashimi for them. The chicken seemed strangely out of place, but it was also pretty good. There's nothing subtle about rosemary, so there were some flavors clashing, it seemed to me, but a well executed dish is a well executed dish. The older folks didn't quite appreciate the chicken, so I got more than my share. The consensus was that they needed to pour wine to go with the chicken. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/188/37...
While the food was nothing to write home about, the hot spring was pretty nice. There were a couple yakuza types in there with their full body tattoos, which made me a bit nervous since it's difficult not to stare a little, but they seemed to be there to enjoy the hot baths too.
