The picture you see here is of Daja Dial. Daja was the winner of the Miss South Carolina 2015 pageant, and later went on to be the Top 7 in the Miss America Pageant. She is an stunningly beautiful woman that is as kind, as she is attractive. Miss Dial came into our store a couple of months back to choose a gown to wear as the host of the Miss South Carolina 2017 pageant that was held this past weekend at the Township Auditorium. When she came into our beautiful boutique, she looked at all of the gowns on the racks like every other young woman that comes in, with amazement. She told us some things that we hear quite often. Like, "I want to wear them all!" 😀
But, it was one of the new editions to our bridal family that caught her attention the most. In fact, it is safe to say that she gravitated towards this dress by Michal Medina. When she put it on, it was like she was lifted up into something that words cannot justly describe. And, when it came time for the pageant, the dress did not disappoint the audience either. As we sat at our table waiting for the show to begin, we were hammered by compliment after compliment of how beautiful Daja looked in that dress. The A-line sparkle of this dress could be seen all the way in the back of the auditorium. When she turned around to reveal the open back, you couldn't help but to try and catch your breath.
It is safe to say that Daja chose well for her dress. But, what about you, the bride? What will you choose for your wedding day? Would you choose to wear a hand made gown from Israel when you walk down the aisle? If you said yes to that, then this weekend is the perfect time for you to make an appointment at London and Lace. The Michal Medina Trunk Show will be in our showroom, and we can't wait to see brides try them on. When we stumbled upon them last October, we knew that their designs would be a perfect fit for our store, and for the beautiful brides that chose to wear them. If this is how you want to feel on your wedding day, don't wait! Make an appointment today because this weekend is sure to book out. 😀

The series has been published in collaboration with the Center of Excellence at the School of Sociology of Kwansei Gakuin University.
The twelve chapters are arranged in four sections - Unremedied Suffering, Taming Suffering, Reciting Suffering and Multidimensional Happiness - and explore the effects of war, economic exploitation, transnational migration, ecological disaster and family arrangements on people s happiness. The various studies examine issues in Japan, the United States, the Netherlands, India, the Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam. Through these diverse studies, the authors aim to define an intersected domain of sociological research through the examination of three sub-domains: Alternative social research, alternative society, and alternative sociology.
This is a hardcover edition.
In this collection, thirteen essays by Japanese and Korean sociologists and anthropologists explore a variety of methods of social inquiry. They include: urban research, wartime anthropology, folklore studies, the studies of local knowledge of villagers, visual methodologies in fieldwork and description, and research and practice in social work.
This is a hardcover version.
Published as the first volume of the Advanced Social Research Series, this book explores issues of happiness from a wide variety of sociological perspectives. It includes: a meta-analysis of suffering an axiomatic approach to constructing a disadvantage index a proposal for a new qualitative methodology for social science research a Nietzschean analysis of happiness a proposal to codify linguistic rights drawing on notions of the universal right to pursue well-being an analysis of the role of folklore in articulating a society s implicit understandings of happiness and suffering a critical exploration of the impact of social surveillance on happiness and a clinical sociological approach to happiness and unhappiness.

Editor's Note: iFi Audio provided the iEMatch free of charge for the review
What is the iEMatch and why would you need one?
iFi Audio markets the iEMatch as a tool to eliminate hiss, restore dynamic range and give you more volume headroom — sounds pretty simple but in the world of in-ear monitors, and in particular balanced armature based in-ears, it's pretty important to understand how this type of product affects your in-ears' performance and your perception of sound, so let's first take a deeper dive into some of the common issues in-ear users face.
Ultra (-24dB)& High-Gain(-12dB) sensitivity adjustment
TRRS-Balanced® for Single-Ended and Balanced operation
6N silver/copper matrix wiring with FINAL 6063-T5 aluminium-magnesium alloy shell
Gold-plated printed circuit board with audiophile components (eg MELF resistors)
Gold-plated 3.5mm male/female connectors
Input Impedance: > 16 Ohm
Output Impedance: < 2.5 Ohms (High-Sensitivity) < 1 Ohms (Ultra-Sensitivity)
Weight: 12.2g
Total Length : 116mm
Many, or more accurately, most of the current crop of in-ears are extremely sensitive. They are sensitive in that they require very little power to generate ear-splitting levels of volume. Many can hit 115+ dB's at 1mW of power. This sensitivity manifests itself in an overall monitor design with very low impedances. However manufacturer specs really don't tell you the entire picture, as their impedance specs only show a snapshot at 1,000 kHz; perhaps something like 21 ohms at 1 kHz. While single dynamic driver based in-ears will have a (mostly) flat impedance response over the full spectrum of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, single and multiple armature designs can and will have wildly fluctuating impedances, sometimes ranging from 4 or 5 ohms at some frequencies to maybe 20, or 30 or 40 and more ohms at other frequencies, so that 1 kHz specification really doesn't tell you much.
Hiss and Noise
This ultra sensitivity, high SPL with little power at low impedance, means many in-ears are going to be microscopes to the noise floor of you audio chain. The more sensitive a monitor, the more revealing of hiss and noise one can pick up, especially when music isn't playing. A user's sensitivity to hiss can vary widely between users, so while one may not notice or become distracted by varying levels of hiss between certain in-ears, another user may be much more distracted. The iEMatch helps to eliminate these issues with -12 dB and -24 dB settings of gain reduction. The end result is a blacker, quieter background, while requiring increasingly more volume adjustment from your source. The iEMatch is very successful in this regard, which makes it a useful accessory for airline travel, as well as taming hiss and noise in your home or portable chain.
Dynamic Range
iFi claims that the reduction of volume and gain required with many set-ups, to bring these ultra sensitive in-ears to tolerable levels, is actually reducing available dynamic range of the system. Reducing the volume levels by -12 dB and -24 dB may allow usage of a higher gain setting on the amplification stage, which might bring perceived improvements in sound quality based in amplifier topology employed for gain control. Or it may simply allow greater volume usage in a set up that is using digital volume control from the DAC, which will certainly improve dynamic range. This concept was a design intention, as discussed and confirmed in my conversations with iFi.
Listening Dynamics
In my usage with Campfire Andromeda and the Questyle QP1R, I felt the iEMatch softened listening dynamics if I remained in low gain, but I did hear improvements as I moved up to high gain, so sound will be a mixed bag and very dependent on your specific audio chain set up.
Output Impedance
Output Impedance is probably one of the more important factors of an audio chain when discussing balanced armature based in-ears. As mentioned earlier, impedance graphs of balanced armature in-ears can vary wildly at different frequencies. In general you would want 8 times less output impedance (impedance value at amp output plus cable to in-ear) than the in-ear's lowest impedance measurement across frequency response. This is to ensure you are not altering the frequency response of the monitor's design. It should be noted that altering the frequency response with added impedance can be desirable but more often than not can be very detrimental to sound quality and overall enjoyment. Some designs will lose or boost presence and quantity of a frequency with increased impedance. Depending on the monitor design, this may take many ohms of impedance to affect (30, 50 or 100) or could take very few ohms (2, 3 or 5). The iEMatch has output impedance settings of 1 ohm in Ultra setting and 2.5 ohms in High setting, assuming your source feeding the iEMatch is under 16 ohms output impedance itself.
- The discontinued EarWerkz Legend-R will lose treble presence and quantity with just 2 or more ohms. Since the treble was already laid back, losing more is not desirable.
- The Shure SE846 bass will get wooly and boomy by just adding 3 or more ohms.
- The newly revised Jays Q-Jays will start to sound similar in frequency response to the Jerry Harvey Audio Angie with an added 90 ohms of impedance.
Take for instance the Campfire Audio Andromeda, it has an impedance of approximately 4 ohms from 200 Hz on down through sub bass. Even minimal addition of output impedance to 2 or 3 ohms starts to reduce overall bass levels, in even amounts of quantity, without impacting extension. Andromeda's impedance rises to 24 ohms between 7 kHz and 10 kHz, so the overall effect will be a more neutral frequency response with a just a couple of ohms added but will become pretty lean and bright as the value increases to about 4 ohms and more. In this use case, many consider this a feature, as it allows them to gradually tailor the sound to their preferences. The problem then becomes in finding a source that has just 2 or 3 ohms output impedance, if that gives you your desired frequency response, as source 'rolling' is not a cheap endeavor. This is were the iEMatch excels. If gives you the ability to either lower your source impedance, if it is less 16 ohms to begin with, and it gives you the ability to slightly raise your already under 1 ohm source.
Detailed listening notes of Campfire Audio Andromeda changes with Questyle QP1R as source (0.15 ohms output impedance)
Straight from the QP1R, Andromeda bass is at its fullest and richest, and treble is at its most relaxed (which is still pretty sparkly) due to the very low, near zero, output impedance of the QP1R (0.15 ohms).
iEMatch in Ultra setting has slightly less bess presence overall, while retaining the same depth of extension. Due to the reduction of bass levels, the Andromeda treble feels a little more present and clear. While still maintaining a very low output impedance, the Andromeda sounds slightly more neutral than straight from the QP1R.
iEMatch in High setting reduces bass another notch or two, while elevating treble quantity perception a noticeable amount in the Andromeda. While overall sounding more neutral in bass through the midrange, the treble peaks of the Andromeda become more prevalent, lending itself to a much brighter presentation that isn't quite as smooth as it is with lower amounts of output impedance.
What is the iEMatch? iFi remains vague and secretive, unwilling to disclose to potential competitors their secret sauce. One thing it is not is a simple in-line resistor (this much iFi has made clear to me), and is referred to as a gain setting without amplification. A simple in-line resistor would just add more impedance to the chain. For instance, a 10 ohm impedance adapter, added to a 3 ohm output impedance amplifier will have the in-ear monitor seeing a total of 13 ohms output impedance in your chain (please note that this is an approximation based around the principle that impedance approximately equals resistance in the absence of reactance, which is determined by capacitance and inductance in an alternating current circuit such as audio). If you are trying to lower frequency response impacting impedance, an in-line resistor will not help.
This leaves two possibilities that I'm aware of: a buffer or a voltage splitter. A buffer, usually implemented as a unity gain buffer, can be thought of as an amplifier with no gain. The idea here is to raise input impedance, amplify the signal without gain, and release the signal with a much lower impedance, usually around 1 ohm or less. This design is somewhat more complicated and can color the sound quality, besides the obvious output impedance values, depending on topology and design employed (think transparency, clarity and warmth). An example of this kind of product is the Ultimate Ears Line Drive at approximately $150. Can iFi fit such a device into the size of the iEMatch and run it passively? It's certainly possible. Apple has proved as much in their ability to fit a DAC/AMP/ADC into the new, diminutive iPhone 7 dongle, which they sell for a mind boggling $9. However, the iEMatch is lowering gain by two different values, and it just seems very unlikely they've gone with this more complex design.
The second possibility is a voltage splitter/divider (link to Wikipedia). The iEMatch seems to act as a passive gain attenuator based on a voltage divider circuit. According to my googling abilities, a passive gain attenuator is simply a passive (no supply) resistive network that can extend dynamic range by adjusting signal levels, provide impedance matching of oscillators or amplifiers, or to provide isolation between different circuit stages. It seems this type of circuit, that attenuates gain, improves dynamic range and lowers output impedance can be accomplished with four resistors, or perhaps 8, since the iEMatch does balanced connections as well. Although other, more elegant modalities are very possible, such as capacitive and inductive voltage dividers (such as the one employed by the now-discontinued TDK BA200 [review here]), they usually need to be designed specifically to match the output circuit, i.e. the impedance profile of the IEM itself. Considering the size, simplicity of design, and diverse overall effectiveness, I'm heavily leaning towards a resistive type of voltage divider device.
Additional design and functionality include the ability to use with TRS single-ended and balanced TRRS gear with the flip of a switch on plug side of the iEMatch. Left and right pin-out can be found on iFi's product page to determine balanced configuration compatibility, which appears to be the same as HiFiMAN, Cowon and LH Labs' implementations. The iEMatch uses 6063-TS aluminium-magnesium alloy for the plug and receptacle bodies and 6N silver and copper wiring for a high-end, audiophile look and feel. The iEMatch also comes with an old style, two-prong airline adapter (are there still airplanes in use with this?), memory foam earplugs and a velvet draw-string carrying pouch.
At a retail price of $49, the iFi iEMatch makes for an intriguing accessory to help tailor and perhaps improve the sound quality and listening experience of many balanced armature in-ears in a variety of set-ups.

Ambassador Robert 'Woody' Johnson, the American Ambassador to the UK, paid a special visit to the Martin Luther King statue at Newcastle University earlier this month.
The trip, arranged to coincide with Martin Luther King Day in the US, was Ambassador Johnson's first official visit to an English city outside London since taking office in 2017.
The statue was unveiled last year to mark the 50th anniversary of Dr King's visit to Newcastle University to accept an honorary degree.
During his visit, the Ambassador was shown the film of the speech Dr King made when he accepted the honour in 1967 and saw the King's Hall, the location for the degree ceremony.
He also heard about Freedom City 2017 and some of the activities that took place as part of the city-wide programme – including Freedom on the Tyne.
Speaking to The Journal, the Ambassador said: "The statue, the room where he spoke and the film – it was poignant. He was talking about poverty and war and racism and progress has been made but more progress is needed."
The Ambassador also met Professor Chris Day, Vice-Chancellor and President, Newcastle University, and a number of senior academics.
Professor Day said: "It is fitting that Ambassador Johnson has chosen to visit the statue of Dr King on the day that the US remembers him and the values he stood for."
The Ambassador's visit was hosted by Newcastle NE1, the city's Business Improvement District. After visiting the statue, Ambassador Johnson met with prominent local businesses with trade links with the United States and discussed opportunities to strengthen connections between the US and Newcastle.

Welcome to the
Cleanzine - the original Cleaning & Hygiene industry e-news
Read by industry professionals in 163 countries worldwide!
Although I write this from Manchester, where John and I are attending the Cleaning Show, this isn't a 'show daily' since there's lots of other news we'd like to share with you, as you'll see below. There are a few show items and there'll be more filtering through over the coming weeks.
When we arrived yesterday it was about half an hour after the doors opened and if you'd seen me you might have wondered where my horse was, as I gave out a loud "Whoa" and stopped in my tracks wondering what the heck had happened.
We hadn't seen a UK show this crowded since the British Institute of Cleaning Science regionals we used to organise in the 90s when I was editing CHT. Not all of them of course, as few were what you could call exceptional – it's the ones at the Clarendon Suite along the Hagley Road I'm talking about, which was always so busy that you'd think there wasn't an international at the NEC every other year. If you remember those and weren't in Manchester yesterday, you'll understand my meaning!
As you'll read below, two huge machines were sold before the doors were even due to open – and that's the one we know about – there may well be others! And the place was buzzing – that's not just me saying it but about 30 of those with whom we stopped to chat. Manchester had drawn a lot of our friends and colleagues from the past who we'd not seen for many a year.
Northern powerhouse indeed!
Several people quipped: "Who needs London?" referring to the London show which will be held in alternate years to what undoubtedly will be a Manchester event. Some seemed a mite serious with this question and my answer is that if we can do this here, we can do it in London too.
Everyone who attended the London show seemed to enjoy it and we mustn't forget that it was the first year it had been held away from Birmingham since the early 90s. And don't forget the issue caused by the second show that had been set up against it, which led to many not bothering to support either.
These shows put money back into the UK cleaning industry and the industry pulled together to get this one off the ground and ensure it was buzzing. If we can do it in Manchester we can do it in London next year – and make it more international too.
Let's do it!

i-Robot robotic floor cleaning machines now available from Vaclensa
We can expect to see a lot more from Vaclensa in the near future and the company's large stand at the Manchester Cleaning Show gave us a taste of things to come. What caught our attention was an area being buzzed around by the new Commercial i-Robot robotic cleaning machine, which has a really low profile for cleaning under cupboards etc.
The i-Robot is fast and powerful, very responsive and we watched it make short work of large pieces of grit. The company's Danny Cross told us that it was attracting a lot of attention.

Show visitors in race to buy Morclean's Bin Wash
Morclean's Green Apple Award-winning BinWash machine has clearly created a stir because as the Manchester Cleaning Show's doors opened, two organisations made a beeline for the stand and asked to buy the machine on show.
Bearing in mind that the doors opened 15 minutes early as there were so many people outside waiting to get in, two machine sales before the show's official opening time must be something of an industry coup - and we're not talking about something in the mop & bucket price range either!

New products seen on the Greyland stand include Cotton Fresh air freshener trigger spray, Bathroom Cleaner and Limescale Remover trigger sprays formulated with anti-limescale for hard water areas, and their 1L angle neck Spring Toilet Freshener. We'll be bringing you more detailed information on these new products very soon.
A good way to teach and test driving skills...
It's all very well having state-of-the-art cleaning equipment but unless your operating skills are up to scratch, you're not going to do the best job, are you? Karcher has been running a competition at the Manchester Cleaning Show to see who can negotiate its tight course the quickest, without knocking over any of the bollards (which incurs penalties) using both walk-behind and ride-on machines.
It occurred to us that a course like this actually offers a great way of training users in how to operate the machines while negotiating potential obstacles, before setting them loose on contracts... If you're a cleaning contractor, is this something your company does, or would consider doing?

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is preparing to move forward with a regulatory change that would expand the definition of fiduciary investment advice, holding service providers and plan sponsors accountable to the regulations included in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The bulk of the rule change, which was scheduled to take effect in April, will be implemented on June 9, as the DOL ordered a 60-day delay.
"For some time the DOL has been considering expanding the definition of fiduciary advice," said Lori Shannon, a partner in law firm Barnes & Thornburg's corporate practice who focuses on employee benefits and executive compensation. "The reason why is because ERISA is old and when it was originally put in place, the concept of fiduciary investment advice was geared more toward traditional plans."
According to Shannon, DOL's rule change is designed to require service providers acting as a fiduciary – that is, giving particular investment advice to plan participants – to act in the best interests of their clients. If there is a conflict of interest, the provider must meet certain exemptions or refrain from offering fiduciary advice altogether.
Editor's note: Considering an employee retirement plan for your business? If you're looking for information to help you choose the one that's right for you, use the questionnaire below to have our sister site, BuyerZone, provide you with information from a variety of vendors for free:
"The DOL has now said any investment advisor will be held to fiduciary standard," said James Olson, legal counsel at Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis. "Anyone who offers investment advice to a plan participant or an IRA holder must put their clients' best interest ahead of themselves; they cannot generate profits where there might be a conflict of interest."
The rule change doesn't only put the onus on service providers, however. Plan sponsors, namely businesses, need to take certain measures to ensure they're protected from significant financial penalties. According to Shannon, this includes thoroughly reviewing educational materials offered by the service provider, combing through the contract to understand whether fiduciary advice will be offered or not, and regularly ensuring that, if a service provider doesn't claim to offer fiduciary advice, they are indeed refraining from doing so.
"The thing a plan sponsor needs to be concerned about is 'is this fiduciary investment advice?'" Shannon said. "The provider either is a fiduciary advisor or they aren't, so make sure the documentation is consistent with [the service provider's] declaration."
Penalties for noncompliance come in the form of lawsuits, fines and excise taxes, which are tied to the size and scope of the transaction found to be in violation of the rules. Here's what plan sponsors and service providers should understand:
Plan sponsors: Avoid opening yourself to any fiduciary liability. For plan sponsors found not acting in the best interest of plan holders (typically their own employees), onerous penalties apply.
Service providers: If you are receiving compensation for fiduciary advice but don't meet the new rules regarding one of the exemptions, significant penalties and excise taxes will apply. Clients also will have the opportunity to file suit if a service provider is found to not be acting in their best interests.
The full fiduciary rule can be found on the DOL's website, including the new changes, exemptions and information regarding financial penalties for noncompliance.

I have not heard of any of these and after reading all of them there are some I want to forget. Disgusting. What do you think?
Dendrophilia is the love of trees, and yes, that includes in a sexual manner.
2. "Knismolagnia" – Sexual Arousal From Being Tickled
Those who are deep into Knismolagina will go as far as to be tied down while being tickled by one or multiple people. For some it is the focus and high point of the sexual experience.
3. "Nebulophilia" – Sexual Arousal to Fog
Think about how many movies feature sex scenes on camping trips with fog rolling in.
4. "Chasmophilia" – Sexual Arousal From Caves or Valleys
I'm not sure how caves can cause you to become aroused, but maybe that is why everyone loves Batman.
5. "Psellismophilia" – Sexual Arousal From Stuttering
I have never heard someone stuttering and thought I want to make out with you.
6. "Xylophilia" – Sexual Arousal From Wood
You can get sexually turned on from anything from tree stumps to lumber.
7. "Body Inflation" – Inflating One's Body for Sexual Gratification
Someone puts on tight clothes, but underneath those clothes are balloons that will be slowly be inflated. Apparently that is very sexual to some people.

Sacofricosis when you enjoy masturbating in public through a hole in your pocket.

This is the feeling of arousal at the idea of body parts being eaten. I can't even imagine this one.
10. "Formicophilia" – The Love of Insects Involved During Sex
Formicophilia is when a person is turned on by bugs crawling on them. So disgusting.
11. "Symorophilia" – Sexual Arousal From Disasters
Symorophilia may be the most dangerous, as it is being sexually aroused by watching disasters like fires or car accidents.

Climacophilia is being sexually stimulated by seeing someone fall down a flight of stairs.

Nasolingus is a sexual urge involving the nose. There was more information with this one, but I cut it out to save you from retching.
Actirasty is the feeling of sexual fantasies that involve the sun's rays.

Our title, "Roads Best Traveled," takes on two meanings for us. In travel and in life aren't we always hearing of the way you should do it? The places you should go, the thoughts you should think, how you should classify yourself and the trips you should take? We broke that mold, disrupted the trend a bit, and bring you a different take on the travel and lifestyle blog.
Two different walks of life who couldn't help but answer the call to join forces are here to share our thoughts and adventures with you. Honest journeys around the world told from the points of view of real people – and our authentic thoughts on life in general. Send us a note for guest posting opportunities!
About Me:
Rachel, Washington DC
The first thing you should know is I have a dry, satirical, and often probably a bit out of place sense of humor. It takes a moment of getting used too. Also i'm terrified of working away my 20's and missing out on opportunities so I tend to act on whatever I can; a habit my bank account wishes I would break. Living in Washington DC I love to take in the sights and get as much out of the area as possible – it's a privilege to live so close to so much opportunity. That being said, I haven't left my apartment all weekend and I don't plan too. You've got to have a balance, right? The lifestyle section of our blog is where I attempt to balance those thoughts on a multitude of topics.
Travel is additionally something I hold at a high importance, and something I know the majority of our generation strives to accomplish more of. I've heard goals such as "30 countries by the age of 30" or a bit smaller like just a new country every year but, honestly most of us simply don't have those means. Which is why this blog is such an amazing source. Here we can travel the world together through our friends eyes – not through an agency directing you to the tourist traps. Here we can highlight the best places to go that are more accessible and ensure we are getting the most out of our precious PTO.
I started writing with Haley after meeting on our bananas vacation on The Yacht Week in Croatia and realizing that it was a "written in the stars" type partnership. We brainstormed the whole week about ways to put our minds together and finally landed on completely blowing up her already successful blog and making it our own!
About Me:
Haley, Nashville, TN
As a child, I was always on the go and into everything. Now as an adult {if that's what I have to consider myself}, nothing has changed. I love exploring and staying busy which is why traveling has become one of my passions. I love exploring new places, food, cultures and experiences. I have serious FOMO so if I am ever offered an experience, I am more than likely going to take it.
This blog became my passion project. I throw myself full steam ahead into everything I do and my idea for having my friends and family contribute to the travel section is just an extension of how I live life so collaboratively and wholesomely.
I'm sort of a pineapple: a sweet island girl on the inside but also all business American on the outside. You know, business in the front, party in the back type thing…without the mullet.
After meeting Rachel in Croatia I knew I wanted to have her jump in feet first with me on this adventure. She helps keep my Caribbean look afloat while bringing humor and a great dynamic to this site. Two girls from two different backgrounds bringing you two different perspectives on life and adventure.
They always say 2 is better than one and I couldn't agree more.

Oriya weddings are best described in one word i.e. minimalistic. The weddings are simple yet elegant and are designed keeping in mind age-old traditions and rituals. Everybody, including the bride and the groom are dressed in sarees and dhotis, respectively. While a dash of richness has always been observed in the clothing, women choose to wear sarees which are a blend of Eastern and South Indian styles with intricate embroidery, prints and Zari work. The sarees are mainly of Silk, cotton, or chiffon. While these are the common saree fabrics, a change in this trend has more women opting for net and georgette sarees as these are easy to carry and can be draped in different styles.
Over the years, Oriya matrimony, including the bride's attire has seen several innovations. The overall appeal of their present outfits gives it a contemporary look with a traditional twist. Some of the traditional sarees that play a significant role in Oriya bridal attire are sambalpuri silk, khandua pata saree, ikkat, sonepuri and tussar silk. These sarees and fabrics continue to be a part of every Oriya bride, but with a twist. Excited to know what the twist is? Read on.
- Opt for Lehenga Choli: If you are going with the traditional colours and fabrics for your wedding dress, but still want some change, you can opt for a lehenga choli in place of a saree. Lehenga choli looks equally elegant, while adding grace to your wedding attire. You can either get your lehenga choli stitched or get it ready-made in the fabric of your choice, i.e. silk, cotton, or benarasi.
- Blouse with a Flared Skirt: If you want to adorn a simple look and a lehenga seems too heavy and over-the-top for you, you can get an elaborate blouse stitched with a flared skirt in benarasi, georgette, chiffon, or silk satin. This style matches that of a lehenga, thus giving you the same look and feel but without being as heavy and flowy.
- Lighter Uttariyo or Dupatta: This is a mandatory piece of garment for an Oriya bride, and you might have seen that it is beautifully designed with sequins and zari work. If you want to add a dash of urbanity to your look, you can choose a net dupatta, which is light in weight, adjusts properly over the head and looks aesthetically appealing.
- Silver over Golden Mukuta: On the wedding day, the Oriya bride is donned with heavy gold jewellery and a gold mukuta. But everything gold makes the bride look heavily loaded. So, if you are a bride-to-be, or a bride's friend/cousin helping with her attire, you might want to tone down the look a bit. So, the bride can wear a not-so-big silver mukuta to set up a perfect contrast.
- Contrasting Bangles: You can always pair the gold bangles with red, maroon, orange or green coloured bangles. You can choose the colour depending upon the colour of your outfit. You can also further enhance the look of the bangles by choosing a gold kada – a bold bangle.

All Call 5/28/13
Good Afternoon Carroll Cougars! This is your principal, Ms. Keech, with this week's announcements. A copy of this transcript will be shared through the Carroll Yahoo Email Group.
Parents, please continue to remind your students about dress code, tardies and behavior the last 10 days of school. We are planning a number of events and special activities that your child could be in danger of not being able to participate in if they have violated (or continue to violate) our procedures and practices. Excessive tardies, continued dress code violations (shorts or skirts too short, tank tops for girls need to be at least two fingers wide, no tank tops for boys, blankets, pajamas, slippers, slides and etc) could equal an ISS or OSS assignment. We need your continued support to make sure that the last few days of school are still solely focused on academics.
Yearbooks are on sale now for $28. Cash and checks are accepted. Tell your child to bring their money to Ms. Madrid (who will be set up in the mornings before school in front of the gym). These are great yearbooks this year and at a reasonable price. So don't forget to purchase your yearbook so that you will have a record of your memories.
Parents, along with our June 4th STEM night coming up, we have a number of other events, recognitions and award ceremonies. Please make sure that you are reviewing our Google Calendar (located on our webpage) for upcoming activities.
That's all for now! Gooooooo Cougars!

When it comes to audiovisual quality, there is no arguing that Blu-ray movie is superior to its regular DVD counterpart, in a large extent. The colors, details, and the clarity of its 1080p video, the digital Dolby TrueHD, lossless DTS-HD Master, even full 7.1-channel surround on audio tracks upgrade your movie experience like never before. All of these are why Blu-ray movie won and is continuing winning videophiles' hearts.
With above said, movie lovers are now piling up tons of Blu-ray discs in their home movie libraries, which bring Blu-ray backup to a regular task, if not daily, just as they do on DVDs in the past. This is exactly where and when Blu-ray copy software comes in. DVDFab Blu-ray Copy, a perfect combination of Blu-ray Copier, Blu-ray Cloner, and Blu-ray Burner, is a well-known brand in this regard.
This in-depth tutorial on DVDFab Blu-ray Copy helps you back up your Blu-ray collections in a fast easy manner. Look at our original review of DVDFab here if you want the short version of what this software does for you.
1. Getting Things Prepared
1.1 Download the latest version of DVDFab Blu-ray Copy from its official website and perform the installation on your computer.
Reason behind this: Only the latest build can deal with the newly released Blu-ray movie which may introduce some new protections, so make sure yours is up-to-date.
1.2 Start up DVDFab, navigate to Blu-ray Copy section, and you can see there are four copy modes on the left navigation panel: Full Disc, Main Movie, Clone and Write Data.
1.3 Sitting on the top right corner of the main interface, there are two round icons, a blue one with a question mark and a green one with a tick mark, click that green one to open Common Settings panel.
1.4 Navigate to DVD/Blu-ray->Write -> Burning Engine, and then choose your preferred one from the dropdown list, the default will go to VSO burning engine.
About Write Speed: Still at this page, you can preset a write speed for the burning stage, we advise using the default "Recommended" option. In order to avoid any potential possibility of coasters, please do not use speed higher than the half rated speed of the blank media.
Side Note: Leave this step alone when you do not burn any content to blank media.

It's been just ten books since Margo fell to her death in the Fowler's pool house [or DID she?] but already it's that time of year again! Yes, by book #111 we enter our fifth Yuletide celebration of the year! Congratulations, Francine, on mastering the fifth dimension and allowing the twins to remain sixteen for five successive Christmases.
But enough of that, and onto the insanity that is: "A Deadly Christmas." It is probably the most sexual Christmas of the SVH series, but you must first understand that although "Playing With Fire" implied that Jessica was doing the unspeakable with Bruce, she is in fact a virgin in this one. Only in Sweet Valley.
Cover courtesy of ShannonSweetValley
I love the cover, because Jessica looks like she is about to be burnt to death. For reals, this time. Also, I get all nostalgic about the cutouts, with the deceivingly pleasant, festive exterior. Mwah ha ha!
I also love the plot, which is centred around Jessica falling madly in love with a guy who is trying to screw over the Wakefields. Among my favourite SV books are those where Jessica thinks she's met "the one" and he's all "Ha blondie – let's see how much I can get out of you while I concurrently screw your sister/hook up with Lila behind your back/ win at tennis."
In the previous five books of this miniseries, the Wakefields have been visited by an old family friend who we've never heard of before, called Sue Gibbons. [Remember, Sue = EVIL in Sweet Valley]. She bears the news that not only has her mother died [which is true] but that she has a rare, terminal blood disorder [which is not.]
Sue and her environmentalist fiancée Jeremy want to have a Sweet Valley wedding, of course. But there's a twist – Sue's deceased mother disapproved of Jeremy, so if the couple are married, Sue will not receive the inheritance. Instead, it will be left to Alice, who will probably blow the whole thing on renovating the Spanish tiles or sneaking off to the Hilton Hotel with Henry Patman. So Sue and Jeremy concoct a devious plan – to fake a break-up and steal the money!
Jeremy pursues a lovestruck Jessica Wakefield, to try to convince the Wakefields that the engagement is off. Then Sue comes up with the mysterious blood disease, and Jeremy agrees to marry her. In the aptly titled "Left At The Altar" Jeremy ditches Sue and makes Jessica his fiancée. But really, he's only breaking it off so Sue and he can run off with the fortune. Or at least that's what Sue thinks…Instead, Jeremy is out to rip off all of them and return to Costa Rica with his wife, and his fortune. THE FUCK?! Ugh, I take it back. This plot is awful and makes zero sense. For example, why bother planning the wedding? Why doesn't Sue pretend Jeremy doesn't exist, take the damn money from Nalice and then elope? Also why is it that because Jeremy is found to be a career criminal he can't be an environmentalist? Haven't you heard of Peter Garrett? You may have mastered the dimension of time, Fran Pasc, but the characters are still completely 1-D.
The real fun is watching Jeremy wrap both girls around his finger.
He kidnaps Sue and ties her up in a cabin, then demands the inheritance from the Wakefields as ransom. Methinks young Jeremy is a complete sicko, because at this point in time, Sue is entitled to the inheritance anyway. [Don't worry, the dumb ass Wakefields don't suspect it's him. Idiots.]
Next, he plans a romantic getaway with Jessica, and asks her to do the deed and prove her love for him. Seriously? She's sixteen, you dirty man. Jessica agonizes about it, and thinks about condoms [yes, they say the C-word in this one!], and shivers a lot. I think they used the same ghostwriter from every single Elizabeth-centric story arc in SVU.
We learn that he is planning to scoot with the money in exactly ten days because he is a very devious man. [Ten bucks says he checks into The Shady Lady on the way out.]
I have ten days to kill so I might as well enjoy myself, Jeremy thought. Might as well get some kicks along the way.
Excuse me while I go file a DOCS report.
Of course, super sleuth Liz is onto it by then, and his true identity is revealed and Jessica is rescued from the burning cabin and everyone lives happily ever after and sings bloody Christmas carols and Sue has no rare blood disorder after all. Sheesh!
In the B-plot, Lila is dating a starving artist, called Robby. First he pretends to be rich, then she pretends to be poor, and now they are happy. Yawn. Who kidnapped our Lila? I can't wait till the camp miniseries where she hooks up with Beauregard Creighton the Third and they get caviar shipped from Paris.
But now I will leave you with this, a quote from everyone's favorite hypocrite,
"Now he was engaged to Jessica and supposedly through with Sue, but Elizabeth didn't trust him for a second. In Elizabeth's opinion, if Jeremy cheated on Sue, that meant he wouldn't hesitate to cheat on Jessica, either. While Jessica was fickle and impetuous when it came to matters of the heart, Elizabeth drew great happiness and satisfaction from the fact that she and her boyfriend, Todd Wilkins, had weathered romantic storms to forge a relationship that would last."
Smug bitch.
I suppose the 13 infidelities she committed during junior year don't count as cheating?
People in glass houses, Lizzie. People in glass houses usually get pushed and lacerate their carotid arteries, like Margo did. Here's hoping.
Any others you'd like to see for our Christmas countdown? I will do anything from the BSC to Sweet Valley Twins, High or, with gritted teeth, University. I am keen to get my hands on a particular SVT Super Edition, "A Christmas Without Elizabeth." It sounds AWESOME, although possibly too good to be true…

Psalm 119:25-32Blue Letter Bible defines cling or cleave as to
cling, stick, stay close, cleave, keep close, stick to, stick with, follow closely, join to, overtake, catchDust bunnies came to mind as I read verse 25. I recently did a thorough cleaning of a bedroom and guess what I found. A monster keeping dust bunnies at bay. No disrespect meant to the Word of God but it is a picture for me as to what I should be clinging to that gives me life...it isn't dust bunnies but God's testimonies. vss. 25 & 31
- Do I stick, stay close, cleave to the Word of God?
- Do I believe the Word of God gives life? v. 25
- Will I choose the way of faithfulness, clinging to the testimonies of God?
- Will I run in the way of God's commandments so I may understand the Truth? 1 Kings 4:29

If you've thought that people skills could not be much of an issue in determining your own success on the job, think again. You could be skating on thin ice when it comes to relating to people and yet be unaware that danger exists. The ten tips that follow will help you build good working relationships with your associates and at the same time aid you in evaluating what your own assets and vulnerabilities are. Another plus to remember: If you possess the interacting abilities that others lack, you'll be much better off if layoffs come.
Between You and Me…
Try hard to resist the temptation to belittle ideas or correct someone in public. If you think someone's idea lacks merit, tell the person in private. Otherwise, it's a putdown. Flaunting one's knowledge is unprofessional and insensitive—not to mention a quick turnoff.
Your body language says a lot about you. But what is it telling? Scowls and frowns, or a defensive stance with hands on hips can spell trouble. Why risk that when a simple adjustment to a positive attitude will keep you from falling out of favor?
Cutting people off in mid-sentence signals that you have already concluded that what they have to say is not important. If you're guilty of this fault, you need to practice patience and self-restraint. Ask yourself if you're a courteous listener.
When you don't share another person's point of view, can you disagree without being disagreeable? Without flexibility, people skills suffer! Do try to express some merit in someone else's position before you abruptly dismiss it as wrong.
Are you ego-centered–testy to the point where you become hostile if someone criticizes your work? Remember, everyone has strengths and weaknesses. So get over yourself. Try hard to suppress that ego, and readily accept constructive suggestions.
Do you sense that people don't listen to you? It could be you have too much to say. Try a role reversal for a minute and ask yourself this: Would you want to be on the listening end of a one-way conversation? Never! So take a good look at yourself and make sure too much chatter isn't part of what you see.
Become a good communicator. Whether you're speaking to a large group or one-on-one, use good grammar and learn to think on your feet. Articulate clearly and concisely. Shun complex sentences and remember that a good communicator need not use "big" words–orally or written.
Win with teamwork! Commit to becoming a part of the team. Contribute ideas and believe in what you have to offer. Respect your team members. Give each of them credit and foster a spirit of cooperation instead of competition.
Give a smile to get a smile. Warm up to people; be friendly. Ask yourself if your co-workers readily approach you. If they don't, you need to be more outgoing.
Invite others' opinions. Some of the best ideas are yet to be expressed. So ask others what they think. Avoid being a know-it-all and give your associates the opportunity to enlighten you with their thoughts.
The Choice is Yours…
It's no secret successful companies seek highly-skilled, self-motivated workers with strong interpersonal skills and communication abilities. Yet most people spend more time doing preventative maintenance on their automobiles than they do on their people skills.
Don't you make that mistake? Consider this: A simple refresher course is most likely all you need to bring your people skills up to snuff–and once you do that, everything gets better!


text: J. Scott Rupp - July 23, 2018 MTM Case-Gard Pistol Rest MTM Case-Gard Pistol Rest The simplest gear is often the most effective. For the past few months I've been doing my handgun accuracy tests off MTM Case-Gard's pistol rest ($20). It's a molded-plastic platform with a broad, adjustable plastic fork covered in rubber. The fork can accommodate about any handgun you could think of, and it can be adjusted to 20 different heights. Moving the fork up and down requires squeezing it and pulling it back—disengaging its "teeth" from those in the platform—and then re-engaging it. It does take a bit of experience before you get the hang of doing it, but once you do, adjustments are easy.You may notice the rest in the photo above looks a little different from the product image you'll see at mtmcase-gard.com. That's because mine is an older version. It had a plain plastic platform, and I didn't like the slick surface, so I slapped some semi-tacky shelf liner on the platform with contact cement. The current version features a soft, rubbery foam pad to accomplish the same thing I did—saving you a trip to the hardware store.The rest works great for ammunition testing, and what I really like about it is it's light and compact—and indestructible. I just toss it in the back of my car and off I go. I usually leave it set up, but if you need to store it in a tight space, detach the the fork unit and snap it into the underside of the platform itself.

Franz Schmidt's Third Symphony was composed in 1927–28, dedicated to and premièred by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, winning a first prize from the Columbia Graphophone Company of New York for the best symphony in the spirit of Schubert's 'Unfinished' Symphony as part of the centenary commemorations of Schubert's birth. Schmidt's symphony is lyrical, includes a set of variations, a Ländler-like Scherzo and finale rich in thematic invention. In 1931 Schmidt added wind and percussion instruments and a large body of strings to his monumental Chaconne for organ, in which form it too was premièred by the Vienna Philharmonic.
