Knoxville (WVLT) -- An Old City nightclub faces new troubles from the Knoxville Police and the Beer Board.
At six, a Beer Board member confirmed that the Red Iguana was cited last night for serving alcohol to a minor.
Police also had to break up a fight there at 3:30 this morning.
One man went to the hospital with injuries.
The Red Iguana already faces a hearing this summer to defend its beer license.
Police have linked trouble there, to at least two shooting incidents over the past several months.

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Ensure installation of Windows 7 64 bit to correct partition?
Last time I clean installed Windows 7 I partitioned the hard drive and Windows installed to the 1.5 Tb partition, not the 100 Gb partition I had intended. Another time, from memory, I partitioned the drive using Windows tools, split the main drive in 2 then Windows ended up on the larger part again!
Can anyone tell me a failsafe way to ensure Windows installs to the section of the disk I want to to install to? Step by step would be great if available. I know how to format + partition the drive and install windows, just not how to ensure the OS goes on the correct partition.
Appreciate any help in advance,

Hello Matt, and welcome to Seven Forums.
I find that the easiest way is to only have the hard drive that you plan on installing Windows to connected. Afterwards, use the method in the tutorial below to delete all partitions on the hard drive until it's unallocated. Select the unallocated disk to install Windows to. When installation is finished, then you could create the second partition, and reconnect any other hard drives.
Clean Install Windows 7
Hope this helps,

New Conveyancing Comparison Website Gives House Buyers A Much Needed Financial Break From Costly House Moving Fees
LONDON, September 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Home owners turn to online conveyancing comparison to save money by opting for econveyancing
A new website http://www.conveyancingfees.org.uk/ has been launched aiming to save home owners a bundle in costly house moving legal fees.
Using an online conveyancer can work out cheaper than the conventional method and offer a comprehensive and well-managed service. The cost is agreed up front which can be about half that of a local solicitor. The solicitors on the panel use the latest technology including, making the whole process not only cheaper, but quicker and less stressful.Every step of the purchase is recorded online, from searches being done to payments being received. With online conveyancing it is possible to check progress at anytime via a checklist dedicated to your case, which is updated on a regular basis. This is very reassuring as it is possible to see that things moving forward and, if there are any delays, it is possible to see immediately what is causing them. "With the average cost of moving home now estimated to be 27% of the national average wage, house buyers are increasingly turning to online shopping to help them save money on legal fees and stamp duty which together are now topping nearly £9000 on average," says Conveyancing Fees founder, Malcolm Mills. Conveyancing Fees allows house sellers and purchasers to compare online conveyancing quotes drawn from a large number of solicitors across the UK. The visitor fills in a simple form and receives instant quotes in real-time for conveyancing, the legal process by which the transfer of deed of property ownership is made. Conveyancing Fees offers conveyancing cost comparisons without any obligation, making it quick and easy for the house purchaser or house seller to save money on costly legal fees.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
What are their purposes?
As I understand it, they are hints towards the size or use they were designed for.
Foo Caption will likely be tuned for sizes smaller than Foo Text; Foo Subtitle for larger text (say, subheadings) and Foo Display for larger still.
I think it was Nick Shinn that stated in an older thread that a good typographer could mix and match 'em with abandon to make the text look good. This of course implies that plonkers like me had best stay with the recipe lest we reinvent Tendo Akane's cooking.
Here is what Adobe says about it: http://www.adobe.com/type/topics/opticalsize.html For each font, they provide more precise values.
For instance for Utopia they write: Utopia Std family contains faces designed for the following optical sizes: Caption: design size 8.0 points, for use from 6.0 to 8.9 points; Body Text: design size 11.0 points, for use from 8.9 to 13.0 points; Subhead: design size 18.0 points, for use from 13.0 to 20.0 points; Display: design size 72.0 points, for use from 20.0 to 72.0 points
For Arno Pro they say: Arno Pro family contains faces designed for the following optical sizes: Caption: design size 8.0 points, for use from 5.9 to 8.5 points; SmText: design size 10.0 points, for use from 8.5 to 10.9 points; Body Text: design size 12.0 points, for use from 10.9 to 14.0 points; Subhead: design size 18.0 points, for use from 14.0 to 21.5 points; Display: design size 36.0 points, for use from 21.5 to 72.0 points.
In general, 'caption' is a design variation created to draw attention to text under a picture or image component in a layout.
Many times the italic is just too visually different from the roman text (too cursive) so a special font is developed, with a slight angle and some cursive elements, overall, that distinguish the copy from the roman and draw the eyes attention to it. To put it another way, it looks more like a sloped roman font as opposed to a true cursive italic.
A clever idea. I used it when I developed the new digital version of Fairfield for Linotype-Hell.
See link:
Certainly, not a new idea... Matthew Carter used it, I believe, for a typeface he did for National Geographic.
And, for 'Display' you could tighten up the spacing between letters for a large display headline. But ideally, you should use a display font specifically created for this purpose. It incorporates, not just tighter inter-letter spacing but slightly lighter stems, hairlines, narrower body proportions, etc. to adjust the color overall to work better with the same font used for body text below it.
Like the display fonts I developed for Electra. called 'Electra Display'... see link.
I hope this helps.
Thank you all very much for the information!

Foreign Patent Documents 0184359 Aug., 1987 JP Primary Examiner: Johnston; Jill A. Assistant Examiner: Ludlow; Jan M. Claims We claim: 1. A method for withdrawing liquid samples from a sealed sample container having an axis, the container having an elastomeric closure, using a robotic aspirating probe, the probe affording degrees of linear motion parallel to the axis of the container and orthogonal to the axis of the container comprising the steps of: (a) introducing the probe through the closure into the container along an entry axis lying parallel to the axis of the container, (b) moving the probe orthogonally of the entry axis to stretch the closure, thereby opening a passageway adjacent the probe to atmosphere, (c) applying vacuum within the probe, thereby to aspirate a sample from the container, and (d) withdrawing the probe from the container, whereby the closing of the passageway seals the contents of the container. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the probe is supported against bending. 3. The method of claim 1 which includes the additional step of returning the probe orthogonally to the entry axis prior to withdrawing the probe from the container. 4. The method of claim 3 wherein the probe is supported against bending. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the entry axis and the axis of the container are the same. 6. The method of claim 5 which includes the additional step of returning the probe orthogonally to the entry axis prior to withdrawing the probe from the container. 7. The method of claim 6 wherein the probe is supported against bending. Description FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a method and apparatus for pipetting liquids from a sealed container and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for reducing pressure differences between the interior and exterior of a sealed container, thereby permitting more accurate pipetting of liquids. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is desirable in automated chemical analyzers to store reagents in a resealable container. Such a container allows access by perforating the container's lid for removing fluid, and after fluid withdrawal automatically reseals the perforation in the container's lid. This resealing action, known as self healing is essential to controlling reagent integrity over time. There are many known containers of this type. One such container is sold for use with the Dimension.RTM. Clinical Chemistry System by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Co., Wilmington, DE 19898. Another such container and lid construction is described in a patent application entitled "Lid Structure" Ser. No. 07/237,011, filed Aug. 16, 1988 by DeBenedictis now U.S. Pat. No. 4,935,274. Simultaneously however, the resealable lid/container structure which lengthens reagent life, also inhibits the ability of an automated chemical analyzer to accurately remove fluid from the container. This happens because the flexible or elastomeric material used for the lid seals tightly around the pipetting probe or needle when the probe is inside the container. When fluid is removed, a vacuum is produced because the seal does not allow air to enter. This vacuum could adversely affect pipetting performance. This vacuum condition lasts over a period of time, depending on many variables, but has been observed to last for days. So the effect is felt on the immediate aspiration as well as those that which may be performed in the future. The effect of repeated aspirations from the same container can also be additive. Thus each time fluid is removed, the vacuum become greater and greater. Accuracy is consistently affected the same way. When the reagent pump attempts to draw 100% of the quantity desired, what is actually withdrawn from the container is less than 100%, usually in the 90 to 95% range of that desired. This is what one would expect; the reagent pump is applying a vacuum to draw fluid in while the vacuum in the container is tending to pull the fluid out. The pump actually gets less than that desired. Precision of the reagent delivery is also affected by the vacuum. More spread or greater imprecision is observed with the container vacuum. This imprecision is attributed to, among other, gas in the fluid line, varied vacuum levels producing different effects, and bouncing of the fluid miniscus when withdrawing the probe from the container. Such variables are difficult if not impossible to control, so a means of eliminating the vacuum is needed. This is a recognized problem and various techniques have been employed in the prior art for reducing the effects of this vacuum phenomena that's created within sealed containers. Thus, Gustavsson in U.S. Pat. No. 4,673,404 discloses an adapter device for venting and pressure balancing a sealed vessel. A vent needle pierces the closure of the sealed vessel allowing the vessel to vent through a filter. An aspiration needle may enter the vessel through the sealing member and the vessel closure to aspirate fluid from the vessel. While this approach aids in solving the problem, it also creates unnecessary punctures in the cap which can cause loss of fluid from the vessel in the container due to evaporation. Another approach was taken by Averette in U.S. Pat. No. 4,815,325. As may be seen in FIG. 4A, Averette uses a coaxial probe to aspirate fluid from a sealed vessel. After the probe penetrates the sealing member of the vessel, fluid from the vessel may be aspirated through the inner tube of the coaxial probe to the aspiration tubing. During aspiration, air is vented into the vessel through the vent tubing and down through the outer annulus of the probe to the opening in the side of the coaxial probe. While this is a satisfactory alternative, where cross contamination is a concern the carryover problems can be severe. Ringrose et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 3,872,730 discloses a device for sampling from a closed blood tube such as a "Vacutainer" tube. A dual needle probe penetrates the closure of the tube, allowing the first needle to vent the interior of the tube to atmosphere and the second needle to aspirate fluid from the tube. Here again, the double penetration which occurs each time a sample is taken leads to the more rapid deterioration of the integrity of the seal of the container. Finally, Uffenheimer U.S. Pat. No. 4,756,201 discloses a device for sampling from a closed blood tube such as a "Vacutainer" tube. Referring to FIG. 1 of Uffenheimer, when the probe first enters the tube, through the closure, the shear valve is positioned such that ambient air in the equilibration chamber is allowed to vent into the tube. After venting the shear valve is repositioned to allow the pump to aspirate from the tube. This arrangement, which requires air in the system from the valve down to the probe, to eliminate contaminating the container with fluid is not always a desirable solution to the problem. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Many of the disadvantages of the prior art techniques for withdrawing samples from sealed containers are significantly reduced using the method and apparatus of this invention. Firstly, this invention is a method for withdrawing liquid samples from a sealed sample container having an axis, the container having an elastomeric closure lying along the axis, using a robotic aspirating probe, the probe affording degrees of linear motion along the axis and orthogonal to the axis, comprising the steps of: (a) introducing the probe through the closure into the container, (b) moving the probe orthogonally of the axis to stretch the closure, thereby opening a passageway adjacent the probe to atmosphere, (c) applying vacuum to the probe, thereby to aspirate a sample or reagent from the container, and (d) withdrawing the probe from the container and allowing the puncture area to reseal (heal) preventing reagent degradation. In a preferred embodiment of the method of this invention, the probe is returned orthogonally to its axial position prior to performing step (b), i.e., before it is withdrawn from the container. Using the method of this invention, significantly increases the accuracy with which liquids may be pipetted liquids. This is done quite simply by reducing the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the sealed containers, by the simple approach of moving the probe laterally of the axis of the container. No additional mechanical features such as needles, etc. of the invention are necessary. Furthermore, the wiping action provided by the lid of the container removes any droplets which might otherwise contribute to pipetting imprecision. Further according to the invention an apparatus for withdrawing liquid samples from a sealed sample container having an axis, the container having an elastomeric closure lying along the axis, using a robotic aspirating probe, the probe providing linear motion along the axis of the container and orthogonal to the axis, and means to control the robotic probe, is improved by means coupled to the control mean to initially introduce the probe through the closure into the container, means coupled to the control mean to move the probe orthogonally to the axis to stretch the closure, thereby opening a passageway adjacent the probe to atmosphere, means coupled to the control mean for applying vacuum to the probe, thereby to aspirate a sample from the container, and means coupled to the control mean for withdrawing the probe from the container. The apparatus is further improved by means for returning the probe orthogonally to its original position prior to the orthogonal movement. The probe desirably is provided with an outer sleeve to support its sideway movement when stretching the lid. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention may be more easily understood by reference to the following description of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein: FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view, partially in cross section, partially in block, depicting a pipette constructed in accordance with this invention; and FIG. 2 is a series of diagrammatic representations of the pipette of this invention in various stages of its operation. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT There may be seen in FIG. 1 apparatus constructed in accordance with this invention which serves to reduce any vacuum or pressure present in a sealed sample container 10 so that liquids may be pipetted from the container with a high degree of accuracy. The container 10 is conventional may be constructed of any suitable material which is typically used for such purposes. Such containers are available on the open market and need only the chemically inert. The container 10 has a seal or closure lid 12 at the top thereof which again may be any suitable material. Although not at all critical, it is preferred that the containers used have a closure of the type sold with Du Pont's Dimension.RTM. Clinical Chemistry System (E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company). Such containers have an elastomeric closure 12 which comprises an elastomeric layer of suitable material, such as silicon rubber, covering a three ply laminate of a polyester film, a polyvinylidene chloride layer, and a polypropylene sheet. The laminate reduced evaporation and the elastomeric layer is self healing and effects a "squeegee" action to wipe the probe. A similar laminate is described in the DeBenedictis application. The particular lid structure used is not important so long as it is elastomeric, as will be described. A probe 14 adapted to penetrate the lid 12 of the container 10 along the container axis 16 is attached through a tubing 18 to a vacuum pump 20. The probe 14 is hollow and is supported coaxially by a sleeve 22 secured thereabout and mounted in a holder 24. The sleeve and probe may be formed of any suitable material such as stainless steel. The holder 24 in turn 24 is adapted to be moved in an XZ sense (horizontal and vertical) through a linkage 26 by a servo drive 28 which is controlled by a controller 30. In similar manner the pump 20 is also controlled by the controller 30. The controller 30 may be any of the conventional controllers using microprocesser chips or otherwise. Any suitable robotic controller that may be used for this invention. Preferably, the controller may be that sold by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company for use on their Dimension.RTM. System. Any other controllers are suitable for this purpose provided only that they have the ability to provide lateral and vertical movement of the probe with approximately three to four pounds force. In the operation of this invention, which may be more easily understood with reference to FIGS. 2A through 2E, the probe 14 is initially positioned slightly off center of the axis 16 of the container 10. The amount of this offset will vary with the materials used and the diameter of the lid and the size of the probe, but typically may be in the order of 0.2 cm. Under the control of the controller 30 (FIG. 1), the probe 14 is moved downward to penetrate the lid 12 of the container 10, as is illustrated in FIG. 2B. The downward movement of the probe is stopped just before the tip 34 of the sleeve 22 touches the lid 12. Typically this clearance can be in the order of 0.015 cm to avoid contaminating the support sleeve with the reagent. Next in accordance with this invention, the probe 14 is moved laterally as seen in FIG. 2B to lie on the axis of the container 16. This stretches the elastomeric portion of the lid 12 sufficiently to allow air to leak through the distended opening in the lid and thereby allow the pressure within the container 10 to equilibrate with that on the outside of the container, i.e., atmosphere. When the type of container used in the Dimension.RTM. Systems is used, the lateral movement of the probe also tears the film layers which constitute a part of the elastomeric lid. Many lids were effectively vented with as little as 0.010 cm sideways motion. However, in order to ensure adequate venting, a typical sideways movement of 0.020 cm was used as a failsafe procedure. Of course with different thickness lids more or less sideways motion may be needed in order to provide an adequate "leak" about the needles to vent the container. Of course the container must be secured against sideways motion. FIG. 1 illustrates this by 40 which may be holder for the container. The holder is attached to a rigid support 42. The holder may be a ring, clamp, or any other mechanism which prevents lateral movement of the container. While movement of the probe to the centerline of the container, i.e., the axis, is preferred, the probe movement may be chordal or radially out as desired. Movement to the axis generally accommodates the greatest probe depth. As shown in FIG. 3C, next the pump 20 is actuated by the controller and the contents of the container 10 aspirated to achieve the sampling desired. This aspiration takes place during the period of time that the vent formed by distending the elastomeric lid 12 is open to form the "vent" as labelled in FIG. 3C. As the next, step illustrated in FIG. 4D, the probe is returned to its original position relative to the axis 16 by a return orthogonal or lateral movement. Finally as is illustrated in FIG. 2E, the probe is withdrawn from the container. The mechanism just described facilitates a relatively simple method and provides an apparatus for venting a sealed sample container to atmosphere. It requires no additional venting needles, parts or mechanism. It requires no additional valves in the system or otherwise and yet it achieves relatively high accuracy in sampling volumes. EXAMPLE 1 A series of experiments were run using both lidded and unlidded containers. The containers used were those sold for use with the Dimension.RTM. System which have a lid constructed of an elastomer and film laminate. ______________________________________ Performance of Various Techniques for Pipetting from a Container % C.V.* Significant ______________________________________ Lidded Container 0.58% na, Basis for comparison Unlidded Container 0.47% Yes, better Lidded but Vented 0.41% Yes, better Container Lidded Container using 0.41% Yes, better Side Stroke Method of the invention (0.20 cm) ______________________________________ Where: % C.V. = (Standard Deviation/Mean)* 100 Significance is determined by doing an F-Test to determine if the difference observed is statistically significant, given the data population size. These results show that the best performance is obtained when the container can be vented while pipetting. Either an external vent, or side stroke can be used. The side stroke method of this invention is best because it requires no secondary venting mechanisms with the attendant disadvantages. Also worth noting is that the side stroke method is best performer, even better than pipetting from a container with no lid at all. This is attributed to the wiping action provided by the lid of the container. This wiping "Squeegees" the outside of the probe, thus removing any droplets which contribute to pipetting imprecision. * * * * *

Last week, I told you about three habits of highly ineffective job seekers.
This week, here's the final installment: four more bad habits that can wreck your career.
Have a look below to see if you're practicing any.
If so, drop these habits now, and you may start getting more calls from employers tomorrow …
Habit 1) Say "But" instead of "How"
When highly unsuccessful job seekers are presented with a new idea, the first word out of their mouths is usually: "But …."
As in: "Hey, Joe, here's a phone script you can use to call people and generate job leads. You ought to try it!"
Joe, the highly unsuccessful job seeker, replies: "But, I've already called everyone in my network."
Successful job seekers, on the other hand, greet new ideas with this question: "How could I adapt that to my job search?" Then they get busy.
Listen to your self-talk today. Are you saying, "But" a lot more than "How"? If so, the scientific term for your condition is but-head (sic). Sorry, couldn't resist that.
To stop being a "but-head," start saying, "How can I make that work for me?" more often in your job search (and in your life).
Habit 2) Fail to tell everyone about their search
Unsuccessful job seekers often equate employment status with self-worth, and are too embarrassed to tell friends and family about their job search.
But … you won't get paid more for finding a job entirely on your own.
In fact, you may not get a paycheck for many moons unless you enlist the aid of as many people as possible, starting in your own home and on the block where you live.
Today, before your next bathroom break (yes, I want to give you a sense of urgency) make a list of the 20 most-successful, most-connected people you know.
How many of them know about your job search?
When I say, "know," I mean the following:
If not, you won't find work as fast as you could.
To get hired quickly, tell everyone. Not 10 people. Or 23. Everyone -- every person you meet, every day.
Habit 3) Set no specific goals
I'm firmly convinced that muddled thinking causes more prolonged unemployment than any other factor -- economic, political, or otherwise.
Here's a how to spot the unclear thinking of an unsuccessful job seeker …
When you ask how many networking calls they've made this week, they reply: "I'm moving forward on that."
When you ask for names of companies they want to work for, they reply: "I can't answer that, because I want to keep my options open."

Today was last day of week 1 and tomorrow is day off...I need it!
I weighed myself today and I am down 1 lb and 2oz!! makes me very happy! I can't wait for week 2 to see if I lose more than a pound since the length of the DVD's will be getting longer.
I decided to buy Les Mills Pump after seeing amazing results in Les Mills Combat but since Pump is only 3 days, I decided today hybrid of the 2. Today was day 2 of Pump/Combat hybrid and my inner thighs are sore,very sore....I expected my arms to be sore but they are not which tells me I need to increase the weight. I am excited to see the results! I also got my Les Mills Combat T-shirt!!!! It is size small and it fits!!! it has been almost 3 years since I could fit into size small shirt :)
I just finished week 2 of Les mills combat and wow! I have lost an inch off my waist!!! and I am down a pound. I am loving this program!! I have had 3 kids and I need the inches to come off of my waist more than the scale. lol Week 3 begins Monday and the schedule changes with the workouts, so we'll see what changes that bring!
I am on day 5 of Les mills Combat and those of you who don't know about Les mills Combat, it is beachbody's new workout program.Their first mixed martial arts workout designed for a total body transformation in 60 days. You'll be doing Karate/Kung Fu, Capoeira, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai/Kickboxing, Tae Kwon Do and Boxing. They say you can burn up to 1,000 calories per hour but I think that depends on your weight and how deep you dig.
There are 3 calenders to follow:
5 days workout and 2 days rest
LES MILLS COMBAT SUPREME WARRIOR "Which is what I am following"
6 days workout and 1 day rest
6 days workout and 1 day rest
This is double the workout, you'll be doing to 2 workouts, like core attack, upper and lower body workouts.
My arms, legs, inner thighs and my back HURT! but it is good hurt.
Day 1 was kick start, I thought it was easy but by the next morning my sides and my butt hurt.
Day 2 was power hiit 1, this one you use weights. It was tough!
Day 3 was power kata!!! awesome workout! I was dripping in sweat and having fun at the same time. Day 4 was combat 60: Extreme Cardio fighter!! an hour long workout but I was having so much fun that it felt lik half an hour workout and I burned 678 calories!!!!!. and today was day 5! SHOCK PLYO HIIT! it was tough for me because it has a lot of lunges and I have a knee injury but I did the whole half an hour workout.
I did P90x and Insanity but they were both chore compared to Les Mills Combat. I find myself looking forward to doing the workouts and the most important part "I HAVE FUN DOING IT"
i did level 1 of 30 day shred and it kicked my BUTT. my legs were shaking and here i honestly thought it was going to be breeze. i am scared about tomorrow because i can tell i am going to friends with Advil.

Yum. Croutons made with bacon fat? Yes, please. I did skip the ranch dressing because I thought it might overpower the flavor of my homegrown tomatoes. And I didn't have slab bacon -- that would have been even better.
I thought this was a good recipe but it didn't deserve raves. A great salad for a crowd on a buffet. I used spring mix for the arugula and frisee. The dressing needs some spice - maybe cayenne pepper.
This salad is a huge hit during football season. It is quick and amazing. Definitely not healthy but will please the crowds.
This was delicious. I was skeptical about the croutons but pleasantly surprised that they turned out excellent. I'll make it again because it is so easy and fast.

I had been searching and searching for periwinkle (which is hard to find!), for our periwinkle bedroom. This one came up, and I am so thrilled to have found it! Beautiful set (great price too!). I ordered King size, for our 11 inch King size mattress. I washed the coverlet and shams (front load washer) before putting them on our bed. They washed and dried BEAUTIFULLY! (Without a single wrinkle). Love love love this set. It is not only beautiful but so comfortable. Perfect all season weight (just adding a blanket for winter). Very light, comfortable, and soft. (Not the least bit "stiff", or heavy, as I have found to be the case with other quilts). My husband wasn't sure if it was going to be too "flowery" for him.. but he loves it too (more so, for him, the comfort... but he says the flowers are OK! lol)! And, I can change it up a bit.. by reversing it to the solid perwinkle side if I want. The pillows are a nice addition, as well. Happy to get them with the set. Really can't beat the quality and all you get for the price! This is a beautiful coverlet/quilt set!
My coverlet set came 2 days after I ordered it, even though I was expecting it the following week. I was so excited to put it on my new bed! The colors are just like the picture, and the size is perfect for my queen bed.
I'm very happy with this quilt. I bought a king to use on a queen bed. I'll have to cut down the pillow shams as they're huge. The quilt has a clean white background. The quilt top is cotton and feels like a high quality cotton. I would highly recommend this quilt.
Love this set. The colors are so cheerful and bright. The quality is excellent. It did have a strong odor when I first opened the box but I washed it and the odor is gone. I also wanted a coverlet that could fit into my washer and this queen size washed perfectly.
I was so pleased when I got this package. It came much quicker than estimated. When I opened the box, the colors on the quilt are even brighter than they appear on the screen! The quality is excellent, it is soft and appears durable. It is a lightweight quilt/coverlet that works perfectly for someone who easily gets hot at night. I would definitely recommend this to someone!
good price- liked that you got the pillows with the set
It was a gift for my niece and she loved it. It is real soft and easy to wash because of the cotton quality.
I love this quilt‼material is so soft and comfortable and the flowers are so bright and beautiful. Very happy with this purchase.
The quilt is super soft and washed great in our standard size washing machine (we have the king size quilt set). The colors are vibrant! The shams fit great and the three throw pillows look so cute. I love that the quilt is 100% cotton. We have an upstairs bedroom and it gets very hot during the summer. This is a lightweight quilt so if you plan to use it all year you might have to add an extra blanket underneath. The only problem I have encountered was a few loose threads that I easily fixed.

UNC Considering Renovations To Dean Smith Center
The University of North Carolina basketball program is considering renovating or possibly replacing the Dean Smith Center.
The school's Athletic Director, Bubba Cunningham, would like to add premium seating to the arena. Similar changes were recently made to the football stadium in Chapel Hill to become what is now called the "Blue Zone." Cunningham said the seats may largely pay for themselves.
"The model that's working in football," said Cunningham, "... is we borrowed the money, then we sold the seat rights to the Blue Zone and suites in 3, 5, and 10 year increments. In addition to that, we had some gifts for the project. So it would likely be a similar financial model."
Cunningham said any renovations to the Smith Center would take student seating into consideration.
"We would go into a project trying to make it a better building for everybody," said Cunningham. "And until you go through all of the iterations or options, you're not sure what it would look like or what it would mean to different constituent groups. But certainly students would be a primary focus of the project."
Cunningham says talks are still preliminary, but hopes to have more serious discussions about the changes this spring. The Dean Smith Center opened in 1986 and has a capacity of more than 21,000.

The House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg (Danish: Slesvig-Holsten-Sønderborg-Augustenborg) was a branch of the dukes of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg of the House of Oldenburg. The line descended from Alexander, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg. Like all the secondary lines from the Sonderburg branch, the heads of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg were first known as Dukes of Schleswig-Holstein and Dukes of Sonderburg. The family took its name from its ancestral home, Augustenborg Palace, in Augustenborg, Denmark.
The branch originated from Ernest Gunther, a member of the ducal House of Schleswig-Holstein (its branch of Sønderborg) and a cadet of the royal house of Denmark, the third son of Alexander (1573–1627), 2nd Duke of Sonderborg, thus a grandson of duke Hans (1545–1622), the 1st duke, who was a son of King Christian III.
Ernest Gunther had a castle built in the years after 1651, which received the name Augustenborg in honor of his wife, Auguste, herself also from a branch of Dukes of Schleswig-Holstein, daughter of Philip (1584–1663), Duke of Glucksburg. As that castle became the chief seat of their line, the line eventually used the name Augustenborg as its branch name. As they were agnates of the ducal house, the title of Duke belonged to everyone of them (as is the Germanic custom).
The Dukes of Augustenborg were not sovereign rulers — they held their lands in fief to the sovereign Dukes of Schleswig and Holstein - the Kings of Denmark.
Later, a Danish king made the head of that line specifically Duke of Augustenborg. In the late 18th century, since 1764, the branch of Slesvig-Holsten-Sønderborg-Augustenborg was genealogically the next senior immediately after the main line of Danish kings, and had much Danish nobility blood in their veins. King Frederick VI of Denmark, or rather his chief adviser Andreas Peter Bernstorff, made his only sister Louise Auguste of Denmark to marry the then Hereditary Prince of Augustenborg.
In 1764 Sønderborg castle, the seat of that elder Schleswig-Holstein branch, passed upon its extinction into the hands of the Duke of Augustenborg, but against expectations it did not became a residence (they remained at Augustenborg). Instead it was rented out as a warehouse. The penultimate Duke of Augustenborg, also named Ernst Günther, allowed Sønderborg County Museum to move into a part of the castle in 1920. The next year the Danish state bought the castle from the Duke.
In 1810, a younger scion of the family, Prince Christian August, was chosen as the Crown Prince of Sweden, and adopted by king Charles XIII of Sweden. The Augustenborg dynasty on a royal throne was however not to be actualized, as Prince Christian August died just in a couple of months after his arrival in Sweden.
In the early 19th century the Danish royal line started to go extinct. The Duke of Augustenborg was the next male-line heir to the royal house, though not descended in male line from Frederick III of Denmark and Norway. This made the duke a player in the convoluted Schleswig-Holstein Question, as well in the Danish succession. Frederik August of Augustenborg attempted to proclaim himself as Duke Frederick VIII of Schleswig-Holstein in 1864 upon the final extinction of the main branch, Danish kings.
His daughter Augusta Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein became German Empress as consort of Wilhelm II.
The ducal line died out in 1931. In November 1920 its penultimate head had adopted Prince Johann Georg of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg and his sister Princess Marie Luise, children of Prince Albrecht of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.[1] After Augustenborg's extinction in 1931, the senior status went to the line of Dukes of Glucksburg, heads of the second line of Holstein, known in German as Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg and in Danish as Slesvig-Holsten-Sønderborg-Lyksborg.
List of Dukes[edit]
- Dukes of Augustenborg
- Ernest Günther, 1647–1689
- Frederick (1689–1692), son
- Ernest August (1692–1731), brother
- Christian August (1731–1754), nephew
- Frederik Christian I (1754–1794), son
- Frederik Christian II (1794–1814), son
- Christian August II (1814–1869), son
- Dukes of Schleswig-Holstein
- Frederik VIII August (1863–1880), son
- Frederick proclaimed himself Duke of Schleswig-Holstein in 1863 and was recognized by Prussia as equivalent of mediatized principalities.
- Ernest Günther (1880–1921), son
- Albert (1921–1931), cousin
Like the previous Oldenburg dynasty all previous monarchs of the Glücksburg dynasty in Denmark also claimed the titles as Dukes of Schleswig and Holstein. The current Danish monarch, Queen Margrethe II abandoned this tradition upon ascending the Danish throne in 1972. The Glücksburg dynasty considered the two territories to be separate entities and it consequently never used the form "Schleswig-Holstein" in titles. The Russian Romanov dynasty used the form "Schleswig-Holstein".

Cupcake Nation
Busy busy week! Anyway this weekend I did some business cards for my cousin who starting up her own bakery business; making cakes, going door to door selling and taking orders. She's doing so well I'm really proud of her :)
I'm feeling fresh, spring is finally here and I saw my first lambs when I was out running last Sunday. They were so cute, they literally hadn't seen a human before and they looked so innocent and scared when I went over to have a look. I took my camera later on to get a shot of them, by now I'm sure they were more accustomed to being goggled at by passing humans...
I went out on saturday night for a friend's birthday in Leeds dressed as Marilyn Monroe (unfortunately I don't have pictures) but it was an awesome night where I for the first time in my 18 years wore bright red lipstick... I actually really liked it and I'm wearing it on a daily basis! :D
Hi me hehehe
Okay toodilipip till next time, I'm working on a piece for the college end of year show promotional material so I'll upload at some point

The episode manages to do something that one wouldn't think was possible: It makes us feel for Big Jim—well, at least for a short period of time. This is due mostly to Dean Norris' incredible acting abilities. Big Jim explains to Pauline that he thought her death was his fault and that he left her art studio untouched because it was his way of keeping her alive. Realizing that her only way of getting Junior out safely is to make good with Jim, Pauline lies to Big Jim and says she came back for both Big Jim and Junior. Big Jim tells her that the Dome has made him a changed man (only if he means for the worse), and the fact that he truly believes that is funny. Pauline definitely isn't buying it, but nonetheless, she agrees to go along with Big Jim's plan of getting the whole family back together once they are outside the Dome.
(Lyle still hasn't shown up in Chester's Mill after coming through the portal with the rest of the Zenith crew. He's either dead, trapped between Zenith or Chester's Mill, or is going trying to be the champion of Chester's Mill's game of hide-and-seek).
After catching Julia and Rebecca up on what happened to him in Zenith, Barbie decides that the best plan is to use the egg as leverage to get the people out of the town. They decide to send Julia first and to make a deal with Don and his goons: If he gives them safe passage to Zenith, Barbie will come through the portal in the tunnel last and hand over the egg. There are a couple problems with this plan: First, Big Jim tried this already and the soldiers did not go for it, but Barbie and Julia don't know that, so we'll let that go. The other problem is that Melanie doesn't want to give up the egg.
In an attempt to convince Melanie to go along with their plan, Barbie pulls her aside and tells her about the memory he remembered when he came through the Red Door. In their exchange, we find out that Melanie is Barbie's half sister. Don had an affair with Melanie's mother years before Barbie was born and Melanie's mom brought Melanie to their home so that she could meet Barbie before they left Zenith. (This all sounds a bit too Jack and Claire for my liking, but whatever). Also, cudos to Under the Dome for pulling off this twist and not telegraphing it. Anyway, their conversation convinces Melanie to at least consider their plan of handing the egg over to Don.
Big Jim eventually finds out about Julia and Barbie's plan and convinces them to let him go through the portal first. He's convinced that he's the right person to negotiate with them because of his years as a car salesman... because sure. In another laughable moment, Big Jim is sure the plan will work as the soldiers wouldn't dare detain all of the Chester's Mill residents because this is still America (jokes!). Eventually, Barbie and Julia give into the plan because it means that neither one of them has to risk being detained by Don and used as leverage.
While this is going on, Pauline starts having intense visions again when the Egg starts "screaming," and we get to see her in full Isaac Mendez mode as she begins painting what she sees. Big Jim comes in during her episode to tell her the great news, but she's too busy painting to hear and pushes him away. Convinced he's doing what he needs to do protect her, Big Jim locks her in her studio and goes to find the egg. (Big Jim has a funny way of showing Pauline that he's changed. Didn't trying to lock her away for her own good lead to her faking her death already?) Anyway, Big Jim hears the egg screaming in the underground shelter, and when he goes down and touches it, it shocks him and knocks him out.
NEXT: Big Jim does a bad and stupid thing.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

ABC News' Brennan McCord reports:
A woman was arrested in Greeley, Colorado for allegedly attempting to steal a pain patch off an at risk elderly patient at the Good Samaritan Society Bonell Community on Thursday.
Hillary Hartwig, 35, was a former physical therapy assistant at the facility and "knew the ins and outs of the process in taking the patch on and off" according to Sergeant Joe Tymkowych of the Greeley Police Department.
"The patients knew her there and so it was easy for her to have access. She was in the process of taking the patch off the patient when someone walked in and saw what was going on and she franticly put the patch back on the skin of the patient," Tymkowych told ABC News.
According to the police investigation, the pain patch that Hartwig is accused of attempting to steal was a Fentanyl pain patch which is more powerful than the drug codeine, and is used to to treat chronic pain and is also commonly used in pre-medical procedures.
Hartwig was using the pain patches for her own use according to the investigation. According to Tymkowych said that she had been stealing pain patches for weeks.
Hartwig has been released on a $20,000 bond and formal charges will be filed on May 3rd. Hartwig has not entered a plea.
