Style: The Tourist
For those who perhaps have not yet seen the film, I will spare you any revealing details, and instead, will focus on the incredible wardrobe of Angelina's character, Elise Creighton–Ward. Filmed in both Paris and Venice, the film captures beautiful backdrops which seem to perfectly highlight the beauty of Elise and her wardrobe. A tight collection of luxurious, seductive and beautifully feminine dresses, gloves, heels, caplet, gowns, clutches, and other fabulous pieces, have been pulled together to fit within the character of such lady. Everything from her classic, elegant hairstyle with curled ends to her luxuriously long gloves are perfection—brought together with an ease of style—nothing overly constricting. I have to say, one of my most favorite pieces is that lovely caplet, as well as the slim, Asprey of London's Regent clutch in gold satin. And yours? I would love to know your impressions...
... and also, to wish you a fabulous weekend! Do you have fun plans in store—perhaps a movie? Have you seen any movies this season that you absolutely loved or were intrigued by?

Womderful. Such classic elegance on a gorgeous women.ReplyDelete
Paula Grace ~
Ooo I really want to see this movie! She looks gorgeous as always...ReplyDelete
Two beautiful people. Hopefully seeing it this weekend.ReplyDelete
have a wonderful weekend, Sarah.
Oh I loved the black gown and the jewellery that she wore with it....so beautiful.ReplyDelete
Dearest Sarah,ReplyDelete
Wish we all could go back to that time and era of class and elegance! What a difference that makes... The gloves, clutch and caplet is my favorite together with her up-do hairstyle and choker with earrings above that black strapless dress!
Have a great weekend!
Mariette: Isn't that so? I completely agree... In fact, some claim that certain outfits here remind them of those of Audrey Hepburn. So classic...ReplyDelete
so classic indeed, absolutely stunning!ReplyDelete
Sarah, thanks so much for posting good quality pictures! I've tried googling them before and failed. :( So wanted to see all the details and now I can thanks to you, sweet.ReplyDelete
Hope your weekend is going great! I had a look at your "I am presently" list - also can't wait to see the King's Speech! Looks like a great movie to watch. Also am really looking forward to seeing Black Swan. And at the moment it's just all about relaxing at home (the weather is very British at the moment) and having yet another workout shortly (which will most likely leave me feeling slightly dead for an hour or so:) )
I'm wishing his premiere in Spain, I ador Venice and I will like to see it,ReplyDelete
Have a wonderful weekend Sarah,
Hi SarahReplyDelete
I love the black suit in #6!! gorgeous.. and of course.. bella Venezia.. that alone will get me to the movies!!.... plus Johnny helps although dare I say he looks less than his usual yumminess.. maybe it's the hair!!
I recently saw Eat Pray Love.. and yes I know everyone loves this movie.. it does resonate with many.. but I have to say I was on the edge of my seat in the Roma scenes... I felt like calling out.. I know that street.. that building haha.. although I felt a little lost afterwards.. homesick for travel.. and probably homesick for the peace of mind she found..
Thanks for your lovely comments.. you are such a sweetheart.. I always enjoy my visits here too.. and your presentation is second to none!! Have a great weekend.. ciao xxx Julie
Hi Sarah, thanks for the comment - you are a sweet. I need to see this film if Angelina's wardrobe is this good! The shots are amazing. I always got that feeling about the 'Thomas Crown Affair' and Rene Russo's wardrobe - I couldn't take my eyes off her clothes! And her hair! But these ones look positively elegant. I think Angelina must like that look as it's echoed in Mr and Mrs Smith too. Classic. She is so beautiful. Hope you have a great weekend Sarah, Lou xReplyDelete
I'm not a big fan of Jolie's acting, but I'll watch this one because of her wardrobe.ReplyDelete
The pictures are gorgeous.
Could she get anymore gorgeous?! Seriously... stunning. Love Johnny too but he's looking a little too scruffy here for my taste. I love her in that white gown w/ the red lips... beautiful. xoReplyDelete
the black suit...
to die for...
good post...gorgeous pics..
It truly was Jolie's character's fashion that caught my eye regarding this film (okay, and the fact that she starred across from Johnny Depp) didn't hurt either, but I look forward to watching it and taking in the feminine looks. Thank you for organizing these photos. Have a lovely weekend. :)ReplyDelete
That little caplet is amaaaazing! Beautiful photos of seriously beautiful people, although I agree with Debby...prefer my Johnny a little cleaner cut:) Have a great weekend!ReplyDelete
Stunning...absolutely stunning. Oh that everyone would throw away their sweats and sneakers and embrace presentation in such a manner. I believe self-love would take over and many problems would solve themselves. Thank you...Angeline is simply beautiful.ReplyDelete
Sarah, thank you for your lovely comment. Your blog is amazing. I saw The Tourist a couple of days ago, I loved it, not to mention Angelina's wardrobe. I'm looking forward to posting an article about it. :)ReplyDelete
So stylish! Happy saturday :)ReplyDelete
So elegant!! And oooh...I want to see this movie! Happy Saturday!ReplyDelete
I'm with Mariette (and you) - just love this elegant era. I love every single thing you showed. Love the capelet, the clutch and the fabulous black suit. I hear the movie isn't very good but am dying to see it for the scenery and the fashion!!ReplyDelete
I like both actors and I'm looking forward to seeing the film. She is beautiful with this dress.ReplyDelete
This weekend I make a short trip ... Happy weekend to you too!
Love your blog!! Follow you!! And i will insert a link on my blog right now!!ReplyDelete
I'm dying to see this just for the scenery. Paris and Venice - what could be better?! Hope you're having a great weekend, Sarah! xoReplyDelete
I love them all but the first outfit is breath taking...ReplyDelete
After seeing her in "Salt" where she is a tough CIA operative it will be wonderful seeing this new film. Those 2 on screen...how fun!!ReplyDelete
she looked so beautiful in it... i love all the views of venice!!! i'm just spending the long weekend chilling and catching up with some work!ReplyDelete
Can she be anymore beautiful. I mean seriously...She is ridiculously beautiful.ReplyDelete
I hope to get to watch at least one of the indefinite list of Frech movies in my instant Netflix.
gorgeous wardrobe indeed! they're both fabulous! happy Sunday, xoReplyDelete
So stylish!ReplyDelete
Quite like you -- which is why I've passed along the Stylish Blogger Award to you! :)
She was stunning to watch and her clothes...exquisite. the movie story however...very week.ReplyDelete
If you have not seen it yet, the most extraordinary movie to watch is the King's speech... Superb acting
Anita: thank you very much!ReplyDelete
Francine: I did not love the movie either, but am looking forward to watching the King's Speech with my Mum soon :)
She is oh so lovely, and I ADORE ladylike, that's just my style. I was on line at the grocery store though, and reading one of the tabloids about her, she's kind of a mess in real life, I think. Hmmm. Have the most lovely week, my friend!ReplyDelete
The wardrobe is stunning! Great choice for a post on beauty!ReplyDelete
And what could beT the backdrops of Venice and Paris!
Jamie Herzlinger
Oh my goodness- WOW! Flawless styling. She should dress like this more often-it really compliments her beauty! Can't wait to see the film!ReplyDelete
Hope you had a lovely weekend!
I thought the scenery and wardrobe in The Tourist was lovely, Angelina looks impeccably stylish in every scene xxReplyDelete
I know lots of people didn't like this film, but I really did! Beautifully shot and, like you say, wonderful style.ReplyDelete
They were absolutely beautiful in this movie, especially Angelina. But the movie was horrendous, which is a shame because on paper it sounds like it should have been great with the cast. (Zero chemistry) I wasn't upset about it though because I knew it was going to be terrible.ReplyDelete
Just stunning! I love her reserved, tailored style and the confidence is the best accessory!ReplyDelete
Creategirl: I couldn't agree more! She has the perfect confidence for these looks :)ReplyDelete

URBANA — An Urbana man who admitted stealing tens of thousands of dollars from his disabled mother has been sentenced to prison and ordered to repay her estate.
Daryl E. Wrona, 47, whose last known address was in the 200 block of East Dodson Drive, pleaded guilty Wednesday before Champaign County Judge Heidi Ladd to theft over $100,000, admitting that between August 2009 and July 2012, he stole money from his mother.
According to John Brown, the public guardian for Champaign County who now acts as the woman's guardian, she had suffered a stroke in late 2008 and by August of the next year required skilled care in a nursing home. Wrona became her guardian in July 2010.
As part of a plea negotiation worked out between the Illinois attorney general's office and Wrona's public defender, Wrona will spend six years in prison and was ordered to repay $106,948 to his mother's estate.
In return, another charge alleging financial exploitation of an elderly person was dismissed as were two other unrelated felony cases charging Wrona with theft, burglary, and possession of a stolen vehicle stemming from acts that occurred in August 2012.
Wrona's co-defendant, Linda Sims, 48, of Earlville, is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 18.
The case was investigated by the state of Illinois' Medicaid Fraud Bureau.
Wrona was also ordered to pay $1,060 to an Ivesdale man who was a victim in one of the dismissed cases.
Assistant Attorney General Stephen Swofford told Ladd that after Wrona's mother went in the nursing home, he spent money out of her Busey Bank accounts on himself instead of for her care. He also took property and life insurance proceeds that belonged to her and used the money for himself, Swofford said.
Swofford said Wrona had prior convictions for misuse of a credit card, resisting a peace officer, violation of bail bond, aggravated reckless driving, driving under the influence, and criminal trespass to land.
He was given credit on his sentence for 140 days already served in the county jail.
The criminal charges alleging the theft from his mother were filed in June.

"Xbox One X will not do well," says analyst
Jul 20, 2017 | 9 Comments
Even though Dirk Diggler has his sights set square on ruining Naughty Dog's beloved franchise, players will have one last romantic outing with Drake and Sully before Hollywood does their thing.
Here's a trailer of said outing, and, unlike every other trailer revealed at the Spike VGAs, this one actually has gameplay footage! It's brief, but at least the water effects are looking impressive. Still, could they have picked a more boring location than the desert? You know what the desert makes me think of? Sahara, with Matthew Maconohay and Steve Zahn. Yeah...

'Justified,' Season 3, Episode 5, 'When the Guns Come Out': TV Recap
The danger and violence are increasing, and so is Raylan's anger, on last night's episode of "Justified," "When The Guns Come Out."
Yes, there's violence almost right off the bat. Trixie, the pretty blonde "party girl" from last week, and her brunette friend Ella Mae show up at the makeshift office of Doc Stern, prescription for Oxy in hand. When the doctor says their bottle will only be half-filled, the girls work on getting more. Just as things might be looking up in that regard, the office is under attack by Tanner and his men. Among others, the doctor and Trixie are killed, but Ella Mae hides under the desk, escaping the same grisly fate.
Meanwhile, Raylan is dealing with Winona's abrupt departure. He goes to her court office, looking at her computer, which indicates that she was researching fares to Costa Rica. He encounters Winona's boss, eccentric Judge Reardon, who advises that he should give Winona some space. Knowing Raylan like we do, what are the odds of this happening, really? To further investigate the Winona situation, Raylan asks Art for some time off, but he can't oblige, since the shootings occurred on his Aunt Helen's property. Upon hearing this, Raylan is angrier than usual with the "antics" that Boyd and Arlo are up to. Still reeling from this, Raylan follows a hunch and goes to the Federal evidence lockup, asks Charlie for the key to the locker, Yep…the money from that bank robbery (from last season) is gone. Hmmm…

Ten Network Holdings is set to cover one match of the Super Rugby competition each week under the terms of the pending broadcast deal for the sport.
While the agreement, set to begin from 2016, will mark the first time Super Rugby has had a free-to-air presence since it was established in 1996, it is understood Ten will only show a replay of one match in a Sunday morning time slot each week.
Fox Sports Australia has brokered the deal with the Australian Rugby Union and will maintain live coverage of all Super Rugby matches, on-selling the replay and rights to all Wallabies matches to be simulcast on Ten.
The ARU had attempted to spark a bidding war between the free-to-air broadcasters, but Seven West Media and Nine Entertainment Co showed little interest in the sport, which both have previously broadcast. However, as first reported by The Australian Financial Review, the ARU is set to reap close to $40 million in annual income from rugby union's next broadcast rights, albeit mainly due to a large increase in the amount United Kingdom broadcaster Sky Sports will pay the competition's governing body SANZAR.
Australia's share of the UK rights and a small increase from Fox Sports and Ten will see the ARU receive a substantial boost from the current deal, worth about $25 million annually.
SANZAR will soon finalise all new broadcast contracts covering South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, with the competition expanding to 18 teams – including one each from Japan and Argentina and a new South African side – in 2016.
While the increase in funds will be a welcome boost to the ARU's coffers with the organisation potentially on the brink of running out of cash in 2015, there are concerns the new competition structure could prove to be a financial drain on the five Australian Super Rugby franchises.
The new structure will see the Australian team's play less 'derby' matches against each other than as is the case with the current 15 team competition.
The derby matches usually provide the most income for Australian teams from ticket sales and corporate hospitality and, in turn, are often the highest rating matches for Fox Sports/
Ratings for Super Rugby declined by about 10 per cent for Fox Sports this year, despite the NSW Waratahs winning the competition, and the network is said to be concerned about ratings for the National Rugby Championship, a tier below Super Rugby.

Valencia attractions
Valencia has a wealth of things to see, from cutting-edge architecture to excellent museums. Our expert, Annie Bennett, offers a guide to the top 10 sights.
There is a lot to see in Valencia. You could spend a day just at the City of Arts and Sciences, and there are some great museums. But there's no need to stick to a rigid plan; just wandering around the old town you'll come across the cathedral, central market and a few museums, not to mention countless cafés and little shops.
More Telegraph Travel expert guides
Ten top sights
City of Arts and Sciences
Designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félx Candela, the sleek white complex comprises a science museum, IMAX cinema and planetarium, opera house and marine park, all housed in extraordinary sculptural spaces. The museum, a lopsided pavilion of mosaic tiles and parabolic arches, is fun rather than fusty, with lots of interactive exhibits that change every few months. The Oceanogràfic is the biggest and most elegant aquarium in Europe with more than 45,000 species.
Address: Avenida Autopista del Saler 5
Contact: 00 34 902 100031; cac.es
Opening times: 10am-between 6pm and midnight, depending on time of year. See website for details
Admission: Combined ticket €36.25 adults, €27.55 children. Individual tickets also available
Turia Gardens
The Turia river flowed around the city until the 1950s when it was diverted after flooding. The river bed has now been transformed into a park, where locals walk, run, skateboard and ride bikes. Join them by hiring a bike from Doyoubike (00 34 963 3744024; doyoubike.com) or Bebike (00 34 963 217076; bebike.es).
A Roman temple stood on this site, then a mosque, before the cathedral was built between the 13th and 15th centuries, mixing Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque features. The museum contains a chalice recognised by the Vatican as possibly the original Holy Grail. See paintings by Goya and other major artists, then trudge up the Micalet belltower for sweeping city views.
Address: Plaza de la Reina
Contact: 00 34 963 918127; catedraldevalencia.es
Opening times: April-Oct, Mon-Sat, 10am-6.30pm; Sun, 2pm-6.30pm
Admission: €5
Central Market
Talk about a feast for the eyes. With 1,000 stalls piled high with the best seasonal produce, this is a dazzling reminder of what real food looks like. Built in the 1920s, the art nouveau market is one of the largest in Europe. Look up to see the stained glass and mosaics adorning the domes of the iron structure, and definitely have a freshly-squeezed orange juice at the tiled bar outside.
Address: Plaza del Mercado
Contact: 00 34 963 829100; mercadocentralvalencia.es
Opening times: Mon-Sat, 8am-2.30pm
Admission: Free

Opposite the market, the 15th-century silk exchange is one of the best examples of Gothic civil architecture in Europe and has World Heritage status.
Address: Plaza del Mercado
Contact: 00 34 963 084153
Opening times: Mon-Sat, 9.30am-7pm, Sun, 9.30am-3pm
Admission: €2 (£1.50), free Sun
Museum of Fine Arts
This is actually one of the most important art museums in Spain, although it keeps quiet about it. Housed in a 17th-century seminary building, it has excellent 14th- to 16th-century collections, as well as works by Velázquez, El Greco and Valencian artists including Sorolla. A new room is dedicated to the museum's paintings by Francisco de Goya.
Address: San Pío V
Contact: 00 34 963 870300; museobellasartesvalencia.gva.es
Opening times: Mon, 11am-5pm, Tue-Sun, 10am-7pm

The animals live in as natural a habitat as possible in this 21st-century version of a zoo. Explore the ecosystems of the savannah, the forests of Madagascar and equatorial Africa, while getting up close to silverback gorillas, leopards, lions, rhinos, hippos and some very cute meerkats.
Address: Avenida Pío Baroja 3
Contact: 00 34 902 250340; bioparcvalencia.es
Opening times: 10am-between 6pm and 9pm, depending on time of year
Admission: €23.80 (£17.60), adults, €18 (£13.30) children
National Ceramic Museum
Even if you don't want to go to the museum, at least come and gawp at the opulent alabaster façade of this 18th-century palace. Inside, displays chart the development of ceramics from the Iberian, Greek and Roman periods onwards. Worth going in just to see the traditional Valencian tiled kitchen on the top floor.
Address: Palacio del Marqués de Dos Aguas, Rinconada García Sanchís

Admission: €3 (£2.20), free Sat afternoon and Sun
Valencian Institute of Modern Art (IVAM)
With permanent displays by Julio González and Ignacio Pinazo, and several temporary exhibitions running at any time, this contemporary art museum is always worth a look, even if you've been before. La Sucursal, in the museum, is one of the best restaurants in the city.

Contact: 00 34 963 863000; ivam.es

Museum of the History of Valencia

Opening times: Mon-Sat, 9.30am-7pm, Sun, 9.30am-3pm

Day trips
This freshwater lake six miles south of the city is one of the most important wetlands in Europe. Separated from the sea by a narrow strip of sand dunes, this is where the all-important rice is grown. Not surprisingly, there are excellent paella restaurants here too. If you don't have your own transport, it is easiest to use the Valencia Tourist Bus service (valenciabusturistic.com), which costs €17 and includes a boat trip.
On the coast 16 miles north of Valencia, Sagunto has been occupied by Iberians, Romans, Visigoths, Moors and Christians and is packed with vestiges of this rich history. Worth going to see the recently restored Roman theatre, the Jewish quarter and the castle. There are regular trains and buses from Valencia and the journey takes around half an hour. See: en.comunitatvalenciana.com for more information.

One of Yandere-chan's rivals will be the President of the Occult Club. She will be named Oka Ruto. She will not be present at school for the first few weeks of the game. While she is absent, a member of the Occult Club will act as her substitute. The substitute will allow you to join the club and participate in club activities while the leader is absent.
Author: imsiki
What modes are planned?
The number of modes in the final game may depend on the success of the game's crowdfunding campaign, which will determine the game's budget.
- Story Mode
- 1980s Mode
- Endless Mode
- Scenario Editor Mode
How do you get a clean uniform?
You will have to steal uniforms from showering students. Alternatively, you could give panty shots to Info-chan in exchange for a clean uniform. If you're a member of the Sewing Club, you'll have access to infinite clean uniforms.
How long would it take to beat the game?
If you don't care how much evidence you leave behind, or what ending you get, you could probably beat the game in under an hour. If you play the game "properly" instead of being sloppy & speed-running, I think that a play-through could last up to 10 hours. If you try to find every collectible, max out every skill, earn all Achievements, and obtain every ending, then you might spend at least 75 hours playing the game.
Who is the girl standing under the tree?
The girl who stands under the tree is "Rival-chan". She represents the concept of a rival, and exists so that I can test the "red outline" feature of Yandere Vision. The first official rival, Osana Najimi, will have a different appearance.
Why doesn't the school have security cameras?
The school cares about its reputation too much to install security cameras. They don't want to create the image of a school where students are in danger, or need protection or surveillance. If it is judged that the game is too easy without security cameras, then the lore will change and cameras will be added.
Why would Senpai ever run after a masked killer and rip the mask off?
Because the game is still in development, Senpai's personality is not yet set in stone.
It is likely that some NPCs will have unique reactions to seeing a loved one get murdered. For example, if you murder a character's sibling right in front of them, they may attack you regardless of their personality.
I imagine Senpai as the type of person who would normally be gentle and prefer solitude, but upon witnessing a masked killer, would feel enraged at the cowardly act of killing another person while hiding one's own identity, and would unmask the killer without regard for his own safety – especially if the masked killer just murdered his childhood friend or little sister.

Great Value for Organic Hemp Protein!
I really like this product. I do not find it gritty as some reviwers have. I mix it into a smoothie, so this obviously eliminates that problem. I was buying a much more expensive brand (Living Harvest) and I find no difference between the two. Great price, organic .... Love it!
Great Conditioner
Perfect. Not heavy, rinses clean and leaves hair soft. Nice light smell. Have used it for years now!
Nice Shampoo
Rinses clean and leaves hair feeling great!
Great Value!
I actually buy these for my dog. They are great and much less expensive than the Norwegian salmon oil I was buying (made specifically for dogs). I'd rather buy human grade in any event when supplementing my dog's meals. She does quite well on them....nice, shiny coat with little shedding. She weighs 60lbs and gets two caps per day. My other dog who had cancer also received these caps as a supplement.
Love it!
I really like the hair spritz by Giovanni. It is not too stiff or sticky .... a light spray holds well and doesn't leave icky residue! The ingredients list is friendly as well......

FakeFactory's Cinematic Mod (often abbreviated as CM), also simply known as Cinematic Mod, is a mod that aims to improve Half-Life 2 and its episodes, and push the Source engine capabilities as far as possible. It was created and is developed by a 48 year old (as of 2015) German IT-service-business employee, Jürgen Vierheilig, aka FakeFactory.[1] The current version is Cinematic Mod 2013 Final 1.24.
Cinematic Mod adds cinematic effects, new music (mostly consisting of several tracks from the Batman Begins trailers), new sounds, new physics effects, HD textures, custom HD models, jiggle bone effects to female characters, modified weapon strength, etc. to Half-Life 2 and its episodes. The new Alyx model, introduced in Version 5, is based on Brazilian model Adriana Lima. The more recent versions make the maps richer in terms of atmosphere, and features many new models (such as more vegetation, or many more shipwrecks along the Coast).
The new music and HD models are optional, allowing to play a simply "improved" game. The "Character Pimper" was introduced in Version 5 when players were complaining about not being able to play with the real look of the original characters.
Vierheilig states that his mod was never planned as a community project. He merely shares what he created as a practice exercise while he was learning modeling, texturing, and coding.[1]
Version 13
After the release of version 13, FakeFactory stated that this would be the last version of the cinematic mod. The limits of the Source Engine would be reached, and the development of CM13 had become a burden to him. He'd finish version 13 and say "goodbye for some time".[4]
Cinematic Mod is not without some criticism from the community. While some praise Vierheilig's work, many argue that his new HD character models are poorly made, unrealistic, and out of place in the Half-Life 2 universe, that the new music is inappropriate for the Half-Life 2 universe, or that some textures are inappropriate. When the latest patch to Version 5 was released, Vierheilig stated that it would be the last version, since he had grown extremely disappointed and tired by the criticism and bashing of his work. He argued that his mod was free and that he owed nothing to the community, and that he did not understand why gamers were complaining about features that were optional, i.e. the new music and models.[5]

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great coverage, unique colour. I was apprehensive about buying a premium paint - what could it possibly have that cheaper brands didn't? But the intense duskiness of the colour, and a 3 for 2 offer at Homebase, convinced me to give Authentic Origins in Plum Preserve a go. I was not disappointed. The paint went on so smoothly that applying it felt like a luxurious treat - even in my spattered jeans! The coverage was excellent, and the 'dead flat' texture advertised on the tin looks fantastic on my walls. Although it's great colour for eccentric combinations (I used a primrose yellow which looks fresh and fabulous with the purple), it would also work well in a more sober colour scheme. Well worth buying.

Anti-Müllerian hormone plasma concentration in prepubertal ewe lambs as a predictor of their fertility at a young age
Physiology, biochemistry, and immunology
In mammals, the ovarian follicular reserve is highly variable between individuals and impacts strongly on ovarian function and fertility. Nowadays, the best endocrine marker of this reserve in human, mouse and cattle is the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). The objectives of this work were to determine whether AMH could be detected in the plasma of prepubertal ewe lambs and to assess its relationship with their fertility at a young age.
Plasma was taken from 76 Rasa Aragonesa ewe lambs at 3.6 months of age for AMH determination. Simultaneously, 600 IU equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) was administered and the number of ovulations recorded 6 days later. AMH was detected in 93% of the lambs, and the concentrations were about 3–4-fold higher in ovulating than in non-ovulating lambs (
Plasma AMH concentration might be a reliable marker of the ovarian status of prepubertal ewe lambs, reflecting their ability to respond to eCG stimulation. A single AMH measurement performed on ewe lambs early in age could be useful to select for replacement ewes with a higher predicted fertility at first mating.
The successful mating of ewe lambs within their first year of age reduces the effective cost of replacement ewes, increases the lifetime productivity of ewes in the flock, reduces the generation interval
Sheep, as other mammals, are born with a limited and highly variable number of ovarian germ cells, which decreases drastically with age
Presently, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is the best endocrine marker of the ovarian follicular reserve of growing follicles, and it is used as a predictor of the ovarian response to gonadotropins in the human
Therefore, the aims of the present study were, first, to determine if AMH can be detected in the plasma of prepubertal Rasa Aragonesa ewes and to evaluate its relationship with the ovarian response to a gonadotropin treatment, and second, to relate AMH with fertility at first and second mating opportunities. With this aim, the plasma AMH concentration of ewe lambs aged around 3.6 months was assessed as well as the ovarian response to an equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) challenge, and their fertility was established after mating at 10 and 14 months.
Plasma AMH concentration and its relationship with eCG-induced ovulation in prepubertal ewe lambs
AMH was detected in the plasma of 71 out of 76 ewe lambs (94%). The concentrations were highly variable between animals, ranging from 0 (
AMH concentration in plasma was not correlated with age (ρ = −0.19; NS) or live weight (ρ = −0.08; NS). Plasma AMH concentration was correlated with the occurrence of ovulation in response to eCG (ρ = 0.42; P < 0.0001) but not with the number of ovulations when only considering ovulating ewes (ρ = 0.08; NS). Neither the occurrence of ovulation nor the number of ovulations of ovulating ewes were correlated with age (ρ = 0.13 and −0.27, respectively; both NS) or live weight (ρ = 0.04 and 0.02; both NS). As expected, age and live weight were highly correlated (ρ = 0.38; P < 0.001).
Non-ovulating ewe lambs had lower plasma AMH concentrations than ovulating ewe lambs with 1, 2 or ≥ 3 ovulations (all P < 0.004; Table
Relationship between plasma AMH concentration of prepubertal ewe lambs and their fertility at the first and second service periods
Ultrasound pregnancy diagnosis was coincident with fertility results both in the first (28.9%, n = 22 pregnant ewes) and in the second mating (77.8%, n = 42 pregnant ewes), at 10 and 14 months, respectively, revealing the absence of abortions and of mistakes in the lambing records. The overall fertility after the two consecutive mating opportunities was 84.2%.
The fertility of adult ewes at first, at second and after both consecutive service periods was correlated with their AMH concentration in the prepubertal phase (ρ = 0.34, P < 0.01; ρ = 0.33, P < 0.05; ρ = 0.36, P < 0.01, respectively). At the first mating, neither age nor live weight was significantly different between pregnant and non-pregnant ewes (315 ± 5 vs. 311 ± 3 days and 33.4 ± 0.6 vs. 32.6 ± 0.5 kg, respectively; both NS). Prepubertal plasma AMH concentration was higher in ewes that became pregnant at the first mating than in those which failed to conceive at first but became pregnant at the second mating (P < 0.05) or in non-pregnant ewes after two service periods (P < 0.01). It was also higher in ewes which became pregnant at the second mating than in non-pregnant ewes (P < 0.05; Figure

Pregnancy outcome: 1st, ewes pregnant at first service (n = 22); 2nd, ewes pregnant at second service (n = 42); Non-pregnant, ewes failing to conceive after being mated twice four months apart (n = 12). Means with different superscripts differ: a,c: P < 0.01; a,b or b,c: P < 0.05.
The performance of AMH concentration at prepubertal age for predicting the fertility of adult ewes at first mating is shown in Figure

The arrow shows the cutoff point maximizing the Youden index, and its corresponding AMH concentration is shown within brackets. A test without capacity of discrimination (random test) is represented as a dashed line.
The predicting performance of plasma AMH concentration, assessed by the AUC (area under the ROC curve), was 0.698 ± 0.063, significantly different from 0.5 (the AUC value corresponding to a non-informative or "random test") (P < 0.01). The AUC values estimated by the leave-one-out validation and 10-fold cross-validation methods were somewhat lower (0.660 ± 0.066 and 0.650 ± 0.013, respectively), although also different from 0.5 (P < 0.02 and P < 0.001, respectively).
The cutoff point of plasma AMH concentration that could be used for a screening test of the future ability of ewes to get pregnant at first mating was found to be 97 pg/mL. This AMH concentration corresponded to a sensitivity value to predict the occurrence of pregnancy of 68.2% (15/22) and a specificity to predict the failure of pregnancy of 72.2% (39/54). The positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) were 50.0% and 84.4%, respectively (Table
The fertility at second mating or after both consecutive service periods was also higher in ewes with AMH concentration equal or higher than 97 pg/mL before puberty (93.3 vs. 71.8%; P < 0.03 and 96.7 vs. 76.1%; P < 0.004, respectively).
In the present work, the benefit of selecting replacement ewes by AMH (calculated as the difference between PPV, 50% and overall flock fertility at first mating, 28.9%), was 21.1 percentage points. As PPV (as well as NPV) depends on the prevalence of the character in the population
Figure 3
Fertility of the selected ewes as a function of the flock fertility at first mating
Fertility of the selected ewes as a function of the flock fertility at first mating. Data represent the predictive positive values (PPV, open circles). PPV values were calculated using the sensitivity and specificity corresponding to the cutoff point (plasma AMH ≥ 97 pg/mL; Se: 68.2%; Sp: 72.2%). The closed circle shows the PPV value corresponding to flock fertility at the first mating in the present study (28.9%). A test without capacity of discrimination (random test) is represented as a dashed line. The arrow shows the increase in fertility obtained in the present work by selecting ewes with AMH ≥ 97 pg/mL.
This study shows for the first time that: (1) AMH is present in the plasma of prepubertal ewe lambs; (2) plasma AMH concentration is related to the occurrence of ovulation in ewe lambs after administration of an ovarian stimulation treatment, possibly reflecting that a population of gonadotropin-responsive follicles is already present at this age in most ewes; and (3) plasma AMH concentration before puberty could be used as a predictor of the fertility of adult ewes at first mating. This test would allow farmers to perform a precocious selection of replacement ewe lambs with the highest expected fertility at first mating. In the conditions of the present study, plasma AMH concentrations did not depend on age and weight, being detectable in most ewe lambs. Nevertheless, longitudinal studies would be necessary to accurately determine the age and weight at which AMH becomes detectable as well as the precise relationships of AMH with age and live weight.
In ewe lambs at around 3.6 months of age, plasma AMH concentration was about 3–4-fold higher in ovulating than in non-ovulating ewe lambs after eCG treatment. This difference could be due to the presence of a different numbers of antral gonadotropin-responsive follicles between animals at this age. In this way, the mean age of the ewe lambs of this study (15.6 weeks) would be coincident with a period where a peak in the total number of follicles ≥ 3 mm has been observed in other breeds of sheep, varying between 14 weeks
In the present work, neither plasma AMH concentration before puberty nor fertility at first mating was related with age or live weight. Moreover, all ewes received the same feeding plane during the whole experiment. Therefore, the observed differences in plasma AMH concentrations amongst ewes of similar age and similar live weight may be due to inherent variations in the follicular population, possibly influencing fertility at first mating. Genetic factors or maternal nutrition during pregnancy could therefore be responsible for this asynchronous follicular development; as in sheep, alterations in the maternal diet have been demonstrated to affect fetal ovarian development
Apart from age, live weight and nutritional status, it is widely known that successful pregnancy is affected by many other factors, such as season, endocrine status or uterine conditions
In the case of ewe lambs, the observed AMH values would be rather a reflection of the beginning of follicular growth in prepubertal animals, showing an ovarian activity quantitatively different between animals of the same age. It is possible that ewe lambs in our study with the highest ovarian activity at 3.6 months were also the most precocious in terms of early puberty, resulting in the improved fertility observed when testing fertility of different ewes at the same age. The lambs with the earliest follicular development would be fertile at an early age. All these findings highlight the importance of individual differences in chronological follicular development and in the follicular reserve as being responsible for future reproductive life.
In sheep, recent in vitro studies have demonstrated that prepubertal oocytes isolated from ovaries with a high number of follicles larger than 2 mm are more competent for in vitro development, presenting a higher cleavage rate, developmental kinetics and cell number at the blastocyst stage
Concerning the ability of AMH to be used as a screening test to select the most precocious ewes in terms of fertility at first mating, in the present study the AUC value for AMH (0.698) was very close to 0.7, the limit value to classify tests as "moderately accurate" according to an arbitrary guideline. This guideline distinguishes between non-informative (AUC = 0.5), less accurate (0.5 < AUC < 0.7), moderately accurate (0.7 < AUC < 0.9), highly accurate (0.9 < AUC <1) and perfect tests (AUC = 1)
In conclusion, a single AMH measurement in the plasma of prepubertal ewe lambs may be useful to select, in a very early age, the replacement ewes with a high predicted fertility at first mating.
All experimental procedures were performed in accordance with the guidelines of the European Union (2003/65/CE) and Spanish regulations (RD 1201/2005, BOE 252/34367-91) for the use and care of animals in research.
Experimental design
Prepubertal ewe lambs (aged around 3.6 months) were sampled for plasma AMH determination. In order to test the presence of gonadotropin-sensitive follicles at this age, an injection of eCG was applied, and 6 days after, the induced ovulation (number of ovulations) was recorded by laparoscopy. The relationship between AMH concentration and the ovarian response to eCG was investigated. Seven months later, the same young ewes were first joined to rams twice, 4 months apart. The relationship between fertility at these mating opportunities and plasma AMH concentration before puberty was studied. A ROC curve for AMH was analyzed to find the best cutoff value to predict fertility at first mating.
Plasma sampling and determination of eCG-induced ovulation in prepubertal ewe lambs
The experiment started in July (beginning of the breeding season) in the facilities of the research center (CITA). A total of 76 Rasa Aragonesa prepubertal ewe lambs aged 109 ± 18 days (mean ± SD) and weighing of 25.0 ± 2.4 kg (mean ± SD) were used. Lamb ewes were weaned at 50 days postpartum and fed at libitum with concentrate until the beginning of the experiment. Ewe lambs received eCG (600 IU im; Sincropart PMSG, CEVA Salud Animal S.A., Barcelona, Spain), and simultaneously, blood samples were collected by jugular puncture using 5 mL vacuum tubes with lithium heparin that were immediately centrifuged at 2100 × g for 25 min. Plasma was stored at −20°C until analyzed for AMH. Six days after eCG treatment, ovulation was recorded by laparoscopy as follows. Ewe lambs were sedated with propofol (6 mL iv; Propofol Lipuro 1%, Braun, Spain) and local anesthesia with lidocaine was applied. An endoscope was inserted into the abdominal cavity through a 1-cm incision, approximately 10 cm cranial to the udder, and an atraumatic grasping forceps was introduced through a contralateral 1-cm incision. After total visualization of both ovaries, the number of healthy corpora lutea was recorded. The incisions were closed with staples and sprayed with topical chlortetracycline hydrochloride, and 1 mL/10 kg oxytetracyclinedihydrate (200 mg/mL; Oxycen-200 L.A., s.p.® veterinaria, s.a., Tarragona, Spain) was administered intramuscularly. After that, animals were fed at libitum under grazing conditions.
Evaluation of the fertility of the ewes at first and second mating
In this study, fertility was defined as the ability of a ewe to become pregnant in a given mating period. In January (end of the breeding season), when ewes were 312 ± 18 days old (mean ± SD) and weighing 33.1 ± 3.1 kg (mean ± SD), they were first joined to four adult Rasa Aragonesa rams of proven fertility. The minimum ram-ewe lamb ratio was around 5% (first mating: 4/76; second mating: 4/54). This ratio was similar or slightly greater than those proposed by other authors
AMH assay
Plasma concentrations of AMH were measured with the Active MIS/AMH ELISA Kit (Beckman Coulter France, Roissy CDG, France), as described previously
Figure 4
Parallelism of dilution curves of ovine plasma and follicular fluids with the human AMH standard curve in the Active MIS/AMH ELISA kit
Parallelism of dilution curves of ovine plasma and follicular fluids with the human AMH standard curve in the Active MIS/AMH ELISA kit. The figure depicts the results of the serial dilutions of ovine follicular fluid samples (FF1, FF2 and FF3), plasma from 2 ewes (E57056 and E47059) and the standard curve (SC) of the AMH ELISA. Dilutions of the standard points and the ovine samples were all made in steer plasma. The absorbance (optical density) measured at 450 nm at the end of the test is directly proportional to the concentration of AMH in the samples.
Evaluation of plasma AMH concentration in prepubertal age as a predictor of fertility of the ewe at first and second mating
An ROC analysis was performed to evaluate the predicting ability of plasma AMH concentration to detect the ewes with a high fertility at first mating. The sensitivity was defined as the ratio between the ewes correctly predicted as pregnant above an AMH value and all the pregnant ewes. The specificity was the ratio between the ewes correctly predicted as non-pregnant below an AMH value and all the non-pregnant ewes. The PPV was the ratio between the ewes correctly classified as pregnant and those predicted as pregnant (in other words, the fertility of the selected ewes above an AMH value). The NPV was the ratio of ewes correctly classified as non-pregnant and those predicted as non-pregnant (100 minus fertility of non-selected ewes, below an AMH value).
Statistical analysis
Correlations among the variables: occurrence of ovulation (1 = ovulating; 0 = non-ovulating), number of ovulations in ovulating ewes, plasma AMH concentration, age, live weight and fertility (1 = pregnant; 0 = non-pregnant) were assessed by the Spearman correlation coefficient (ρ). Continuous variables (age, live weight, plasma AMH concentration) were tested by general linear models (ANOVA). Normality of residuals was tested by the Jarque-Bera test, applying a correction for finite samples
All statistical analyses were performed using SAS software

Which Mold Is Better?
Decorating By courtney1009 Updated 19 Feb 2009 , 1:07pm by courtney1009
Has anyone used both country kitchen and first impression molds? Which do you like better and why? I'm am going to be buying a few molds and they are so expensive I want to buy the right thing.
I LOVE , LOVE, LOVE first impressions molds(have not used the other kind) They are very flexible and the molds come out great. Bear in mind that the fondant you put into it should be kneaded with some crisco or press into the mold then freeze for 10 minutes or more depending how deep the cuts are in the mold. Then pop out and use or pop out and let dry. Something else to bear in mind since cost is your issue that makeyourownmolds.com has EXCELLENT products to make your own molds in a very quick and easy way and the molds come out just as good as the purchased ones. Now I can get a mold of anything I want within 2 hours and no shipping charges - smile
Good luck.
Oh thank you so much! I really appreciate your help. That was a great tip about making your own too! Thanks again!

Did you miss the red carpet festivities last night? Don't worry, we've compiled all of the gilded highlights from the 2011 Oscars right here for your commercial-free enjoyment.
The Oscars unfolded with very few surprises this year. As expected, the British film "The King's Speech" swept up little gold men for Best Picture, Director, Screenplay and Actor. Colin Firth, charming as usual, warned the audience that he was fighting the urge to dance onstage, and joked: "I've a feeling my career has just peaked." Newly pregnant Natalie Portman, radiant in a purple Rodarte number, won Best Actress for her role in "Black Swan" (and best dressed of the evening, in our opinion -- we're pretty sure Wookiepedia will back us up on that one.)
We were excited to see what first-time hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco would bring to the table this year, and they got off to a good start with a clever spoof of Inception. Unfortunately, Hathaway and Franco's chemistry seemed to be out of sync from that point on. Franco was lackluster even in a pink silk evening gown, and Ms. Hathaway's eight different costume changes, while lovely, failed to excite us.
It was no big surprise to anyone when Alice in Wonderland scored Best Art Direction and Costume Design, while Inception swept up well-deserved awards for Best Cinematography, Sound Editing and Sound Mixing. We were shocked, however, when James Franco flippantly told the proud winners of the technical awards: "Congratulations, nerds." He may have taken his devil-may-care Oscars attitude too far with that one-liner.
Christian Bale, who spent the first part of the show having drinks with his wife, was accidentally locked out of the the awards show for arriving late. He made it in just in time to accept his Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in "The Fighter" and graciously thanked his family. Bale's co-star Melissa Leo was less eloquent, tarnishing her acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actress by dropping the first f-bomb of the evening.
What were your favorite parts of the 2011 Oscars? Share your thoughts below.
