Trends come and go in weddings just like with fashion and home decor. As we near the end of 2017's wedding season, I'm beginning to think about what trends are going to be "it" next year. While locally trends seem to take a long time to catch on and even longer to go away, I am definitely seeing a shift from the ultra rustic to something more natural and today I thought I'd share some inspiration.
While versions of the more glamorous take of rustic remains popular, a new trend is emerging which is still very natural and neutral but more focused on natural greenery mixed with woods and whites or ivories. Instead of ultra formal stationery or elaborate invitations, couples are opting for simple invitations that aren't short on style.
This modern, nature inspired style is almost minimalist free of a lot of added décor and details on the clothing and in the events. I've been really inspired by this take on weddings because it takes the focus off all the "stuff" and puts it on the couple and the events of the day.
Table Setting | Wedding Cake | Confetti | Ceremony Setting
Bride & Groom | Hair & Makeup | Bridesmaids
As I see images of this style popping up more and more, I was inspired to create a wedding invitation suite that represents my take on this look. This wedding invitation is now available in the shop and below are some images that I have assembled to help visualize the wedding this invitation suite would be perfect for.
I will be anxious to see in the coming months if this trend continues to gain popularity or if it begins to morph into yet another new trend.
What do you think about this simple, natural, minimalist look for a wedding?

Unfortunately his clutch cable snapped when he was about a mile away, fortunately he had a spare and we managed to get the clutch working although with a unconventional cable routing. This meant that we both ended up working on the clutches of our lardy sports tourers despite both of us having hangovers.

Athletes compete in three disciplines: 750m of Swimming, 20km of Cycling followed by a final 5km run. For the Cycling section of the race, athletes may use a tandem bicycle, handcycle or bicycle, while a wheelchair may be used for the final 5km run to the finish line. Athletes who have visual impairments can be assisted by a guide without giving the athletes any unfair advantages. British athletes currently use the same classification system at both national and international level, which consists of six classifications, but this is likely to change.

Wimbledon SF: Can Sharapova finally end losing streak vs Serena?
Top-seeded Serena Williams of the United States will face fourth-seeded Maria Sharapova of Russia for a place in the women's singles final on Thursday, while 13th-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland is up against first-time Grand Slam semifinalist Garbine Muguruza of Spain.tennis Updated: Jul 09, 2015 17:09 IST
Top-seeded Serena Williams of the United States will face fourth-seeded Maria Sharapova of Russia for a place in the women's singles final on Thursday, while 13th-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland is up against first-time Grand Slam semifinalist Garbine Muguruza of Spain.
Here's a preview of the action:
Serena Williams vs Maria Sharapova
The good news for Sharapova: This is Wimbledon, the scene of her breakthrough triumph in 2004 when, as a 17-year-old, she upset Williams in straight sets in the final to announce her arrival on the big stage.
Sharapova has been playing as well as she ever has thus far at The Championships. She has dropped just one set, to American Coco Vandeweghe, 6-7(3) in her quarterfinal match. The other ten sets have been pretty routine affairs, going by the scoreboard. She will return to No. 2 on the WTA rankings after Wimbledon.
The Russian has a 10-9 career record in Grand Slam semifinals, as well as seven wins when playing against ruling World number one players.
The bad news: None of that matters when Williams is the one across the net from her. It has been almost 11 years since Sharapova's last victory against Serena, a come-from-behind, three-set win at the WTA World Tour Championships in LA in November 2004.
The Sharapova-Williams rivalry has long ceased to be competitive. Williams leads the head-to-head 17-2. Since that 2004 victory, the Russian has managed to take just three sets off the American, the last of which was in the 2013 Miami Open Masters 1000 final. Sharapova has never beaten Serena when the American has held the number one ranking. Williams' record in Grand Slam semifinals is a staggering 24-3.
Both Sharapova and Williams can pummel their groundstrokes all day long, especially the two-hander, but the key difference between the two is the serve. Williams first delivery is so much more solid and reliable, especially when she's in a spot of bother. Sharapova's first serve is more likely to desert her in key moments, and when it does, Williams will pounce on her second serve.
With the weight of history against her, it will take a perfect serving day from the Russian for her to stand a chance against Williams. Nothing less will do.

Agnieszka Radwanska vs Garbine Muguruza
Grass is the elixir that was needed to revive Radwanska's poor season, going by her performance on the surface thus far this season. With her results at Nottingham, Eastbourne, and the Wimbledon semifinals, the Polish player will earn 1195 ranking points, even if she loses on Thursday. That's more points than she has earned in her entire season thus far. Radwanska will also return to the Top 10 in the rankings.
Muguruza has been steadily climbing up the rankings with her improved performances at the majors. The Spaniard stunned defending champion Williams at the French Open last year in straight sets in the second round. At The Championships this year, the Spaniard has prevailed over some big names in the draw, including Caroline Wozniacki and Angelique Kerber.
Her ranking is sure to improve to No. 14, at least, and No. 6, at most, if she goes on to win the title.
The head-to-head between Radwanska and Muguruza is tied at 2-2. Radwanska won their first two encounters, at Miami in 2012 and at the Australian Open last year. But Muguruza has won their most recent clashes, at Dubai and Sydney earlier this year.
Radwanska was the runner-up in 2012, when she lost to Williams in the three-set final, and will contest her third Wimbledon semifinal, while Muguruza is playing her first Grand Slam semifinal. On the basis of experience, the Polish player has the edge.
The rivalry is also a contrast of styles. Muguruza likes to play aggressively and assert herself with her groundstrokes, whereas Radwanska's counterpunching style is helped by grass, where she can use her angles and spins and low backhands to draw her opponents into the cat-and-mouse exchanges she so enjoys.
This semifinal is likely to be the more competitive of the two.

Westmere, Auckland
A strong and successful collaboration between client and architect during the design process saw the development of a modern annex to a 1940's, brick, one-bedroom duplex.
The existing dwelling was reconfigured to provide two bedrooms, a new bathroom and a large study/playroom while the new structure provided an open plan kitchen, dining and living areas with a separate laundry and utility room. Large commercial sliding doors and windows provide a seamless link to the newly landscaped courtyard. Polished concrete floors and raking ceiling protruding beyond the exterior walls create a light filled, contemporary internal space and covered outdoor area.

To anyone who started skateboarding in the 1970s (all old now) Skateboarder Magazine was the bible. In fact, in some fundamentalist Christian homes young skateboarders often heard their parents saying, "If only you spent as much time with the Bible as you do with that magazine." Skateboarder was the single best communicator of skateboarding to the world. Each month it arrived and was studied in detail like the sacred text that it was. We know people who subscribed twice so they'd have a back up copy when the first one wore out. Now, Six Stair Productions and Transworld have produced a film on the founding of the magazine. Here's how they pitch it:
Skateboarder Magazine chronicled the birth of skateboarding during the sport's late 1970's boom. From shoeless surfers riding the concrete waves and the vast blacktop of Southern California, to fully padded sessions at skateparks, Skateboarder Magazine exposed the sport to kids around the world. The story of the magazine is told by the photographers and skaters who lived through the birth of skateboarding.
The film features interviews and comments from all the heads like Brad Bowman, Chris Strople, Christian Hosoi, Craig Stecyk, D. David Morin, Doug Saladino, Eddie Elguera, Eric Dressen, Glen E. Friedman, Jeff Grosso, Ian MacKaye, Jaime Owens, James Cassimus, Jeff Ament, Jim Muir, Jim Goodrich, John Lucero, Lance Mountain, Mark Richards, Richard Novak, Steve 'Salba' Alba, Steve Cathey, Steve Olson, Tony Hawk, Vicki Vickers, and Wynn Miller.

The former chief financial officer for Bodybuilding.com is scheduled for a January 2013 court hearing in Custer County, where he'll face two charges of battery stemming from an August company rafting trip near Stanley.
Custer County prosecutors said two Bodybuilding.com employees reported that Michael McClane "touched, pushed, grabbed, pinched and shook" them on a bus ride on Aug. 23, part of a company leadership team trip.
McClane has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and a Bodybuilding.com spokesperson says McClane is no longer affiliated with the company.

When I need to get back on the wagon I go back and do research, try to remember what you did like and make a plan! Plan all your food for the whole week on Sunday (that is when I have time), and make sure to plan some activities for the time of the day you know you will be looking for a snack for no good reason!
Once the research and plan is done take it day by day. If I get overly consumed with having to deal with my eating plan all week I go crazy! So I just try to stick to the present even meal by meal....
Good luck!
It sounds as though it's been a long time since you've been in to your surgery practice. Most people *****gain a lot feel too humiliated to make an appt, but I think it's one of the first and wisest steps to reacquaint and reconnect. They've heard it all before and, when someone recommits, they'll be there to help you succeed.
Use a food tracker (My Fitness Pal; sparkpeople.com; livestrong.com are among them). Not only will it help you stay aware of what you're putting in your mouth, it will also be a great reference so that you can take a hard look should you go astray. I also find that the little time I spend using mine (spark, but that's not an endorsement), is time that I'm not eating.
If your memory or confidence is shaky on the how-to's and what-to's of choosing foods, see your practice's RD with about a week's worth of food diaries to review together. The RD will be able to point out areas that my need improvement.
I've been there and am still working on undoing the damage. You can do it.

Importance Of Using Carpet Cleaning Services
Services providers are loved by many people since they do jobs which they cannot do due to lack of time. A lot of people nowadays are so busy that they do not have time to do simple things like gardening, simple home repairs, and even carpet cleaning. Expert cover clearing has truly removed a major weight with regards to cover cleaning and protection of their looks. Floor coverings are an essential piece of a house or an office. They are related with extravagance, and include a nice appearance to the house. They can be applied in numerous places such as the doctor`s clinic, clothes shops, houses, restaurants and whatever other types of office. They make the place look more appealing and some great quality floor coverings can help lessen noise. Nonetheless, if not cleaned and looked after well, unclean rugs can be a colossal discouragement for potential customers and laborers. Usually, guests to a place make conclusions on the kind of business it is the impression gained from the look of the place. Nevertheless, at the time of doing the cleaning for the floor cover, you are faced with the option of carrying it out on your own or hiring an expert organization to do it. The following are the reasons why employing rug cleaning services is imperative.
It is quick and effective. Rugs cleaning services providers can carry out the assignment in not very many hours if not minutes. It's a possibility that you had previously attempted to do the cleaning of the whole floor cover and decided never to do it again. This is for the reason that cleaning the floor cover is hard. You can spend the entire end of the week doing it and likely not do it as viably as it ought to be. To get it cleaned by the expert cleaners, you simply need to make a telephone call, and your cover will be cleaned before the day's over.
There is no drying process involved. The hardest point in cleaning the floor cover initially was the drying procedure. Due to the weight and thickness of the floor coverings, they usually take many hours to dry. While drying, there is likewise the likelihood of them getting twisted unless laid flat. Most of the cleaning companies apply the use of either dry cleaning methods or steam cleaning methods. The two procedures incorporate very less to no drying procedure. This is as well very essential when you are in a rush and need your floor covers clean and dried in a jiffy.
How I Became An Expert on Businesses
They provide quality services. The carpet cleaning services are not only quick and effective; they are as well deliver results in a desired manner. They utilize items of impeccable standards and proper procedures to ensure that your cover is cleaned from soil and different substances.A Simple Plan For Researching Services

I've been tagged to do this 25 Things thing at least 3 times and TAUNTED about not doing it once (I'm talking about you Rochelle!) so here you go:
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you. [Yeah, I'm not going to tag people. Do it if you want to].
1. I'm annoyingly noise sensitive. I cannot STAND to have a lot of noise and chaos around me. I feel like a terrible mom when I yell at the kids to keep it down even when they're just making happy noises.
2. I'm terrible at facial and name recognition. I'm always talking to people who know me and I have NO IDEA what their name is, even if I've talked to them every day for months.
3. I love teen fantasy fiction. My life is drama enough--I want ESCAPIST, easy-to-read literature. Keep your depressing literary giants and give me Harry Potter, Charlie Bone, anything by Tamora Pierce...
4. I feel like my two kids drive me insane sometimes, but I really wish we could have had more.
5. I mourn the daughter I won't have.
6. As much as I believe that we all have a responsibility to help each other and especially those less fortunate than ourselves, sometimes I just want to smack some people upside the head and scream at them to do better (this one copied directly from Shannon's list. I agree!).
7. I am really afraid that my kids will grow up and not call me and I'll die lonely and alone. Most of the men in my life don't have good relationships with their mothers...
8. I really would like to lose weight but I never seem to be able to start. Every time I tell myself I'm on a diet I binge eat. I should probably get therapy.
9. I bought a WII fit for myself and have done it 3 times since Christmas. I blame my hurt ankle, but really I'm just not motivated.
10. Self-awareness sucks.
11. I miss my job, but not going to a job. I was good at my job and I'm a terrible house-keeper. It's difficult to be motivated to do a job you hate that will just have to be done again tomorrow anyway.
12. I wish the boys would sit down to pee.
13. I'm a crier. I cry at sappy commercials, I cry in arguments, I cry if I'm happy, I cry if I'm sad. I cry in therapy. I cry at the mall. I need stock in a tissue company...
14. I'm a total Joss Whedon devotee, but I don't think that Dollhouse is going to be any good. I hope I don't jinx it!
15. I'm not religious, but I do believe that if my sports team is doing a bad job it's 'cause I'm watching and I'll turn off the game so they'll win without me watching. I have amazing jinxing power!
16. I have never understood why people like shoes. I have 5 pairs of shoes--3 pairs of Birkenstocks and 2 pairs of sneakers. Last week I only had 4 pairs of shoes but the orthopedist made me buy a pair of expensive motion-restricting sneakers. They hurt my feet.
17. I hate living in a place where everyone is just looking out for themselves and no one seems to care about anyone else. People don't hold the door, steal your parking space, cut you off in traffic. Why can't we just get along?
18. I don't believe in god but I worry about raising moral children without the help of an established framework. I send my kids to bible camp but feel like a total hypocrite when they want to share what they've learned with me and the best I can manage is a "some people believe that". I wish I had faith, but I just don't.
19. I love rollercoasters but HATE spinny rides.
20. I love to play games but don't usually care if I win. I will cheat to lose if it means we can play longer. I usually let my kids win at games. But it ANNOYS me to lose at trivia. A 12-year-old beat me by guessing at trivia at Chuck-E-Cheese and I HELD A GRUDGE!
21. I'm a really picky eater, and don't want to try new things: especially if the ingredients are mixed up or it looks like it might smell bad (not that it DOES smell bad, just that it MIGHT smell bad). I can't eat soup at all, even if I make it--everything is touching!
22. I really think my oldest would benefit from homeschooling, but I don't think I could do a good job of it.
23. I really wish my family and friends were closer but I'm a terrible phoner/letter-writer/emailler and don't do things to keep in touch to make it happen.
24. I HATE HATE HATE to write, but I will do research all day if you let me. I love the satisfaction of succesfully ferreting out some missing piece of information...
25. I really wish I had stayed a librarian and not gone to law school. I wanted to know I was smart, wanted to save the world, wanted I don't know what. I basically crippled myself financially and wound up not practicing law anyway. I would have been happier if I had just stayed a researcher. I hope I figure out something to do that makes me happy in this next work incarnation...
There 25 things. It didn't kill me after all!
Week 4--Hockey, SNOW, Pinewood Derby, and a little crafting.
So, guess what we did in week four? Yep, played some hockey! Outdoor pond hockey to be exact, in 20 degree weather. C-O-L-D. I had to give my mittens to Ben to wear under his hockey gloves. I still like the pond hockey games, and will miss them when the boys move up to squirt. Older kids lift the puck too much and have to play on bigger ice with a net. This is Ben's last year on the pond--Daniel has two more before he ages out. We also had Pinewood Derby this week. Both boys' cars were way under the weight limit, so they didn't win. Partially my fault--I decided that if they didn't want to work on the car WITH me, I wasn't going to do it without them. I knew they were light and could have put weights on but they weren't helping, so... Bad mom ALSO didn't even bother to GO to the Pinewood Derby--went scrapbooking instead. They'll probably be scarred for life. But at least I'll feel guilty! I also did manage a little crafting this week: finished these little fat book pages for a quilted page swap. Pattern is friendship heart. They're fiddly and need precision cutting. Paper is not as forgiving a quilting medium as fabric. But they turned out pretty. I look forward to getting the finished squares to make my sampler. And Finally, SNOW. Not much for us--about 2 inches, but it was enough for a snow day from school and a little sledding. Mom fell down on the ice and tweaked her knee, but I'll live. I wish I were brave enough to sled down the hill too--but I fear death and broken bones. No such fears for the boys!
Project 365 update--
Yeah, so, I fail at this take a picture every day thing. It's PRESSURE to perform! I can't take it! But a friend last week told me I don't HAVE to TAKE a picture every day, I can CHOOSE a picture and just wind up with 365 at the end. Creative interpretation of the rules--I can do that! SO here are the images from week 3. This week was DOMINATED by hockey. Ben played in a tournament, Daniel played in a "Jamboree" (an 80 minute game!) and basically we just were all hockey all the time. Ben's team, coming back from disappointing start to the season where all their games had the mercy rule applied, WON ALL of their tournament games to take the trophy! Whoohoo! The tournament outcome literally came down to the last minute of the last period of the last game. I think I shall need a valium prescription to go to any more tournaments in the future! And look--in spite of all the hockey mom actually managed to finish something crafty. In this case a surprise ball for a swap. It's a ball of craft goodies all wrapped up in different ribbons and string. We will all open them together around Valentines and enjoy "sharing" the wealth. It was a fun, but expensive project. All those little things really add up! I hope my recipient likes hers...

That CME Group Inc. (CME - Free Report) stock is favored by investors, is corroborated by its agreeable share price movement. The stock has soared 41.6% in a year, outperforming its industry's increase of 29.5% and the S&P 500 index's rally of 15.2%. With a market capitalization of $54.5 billion, average volumes of shares traded in the last three months were 1.7 million.
Reasons Behind the Rally
The company delivered a positive earnings surprise in the last four quarters with an average beat of 1.86%.
CME Group has been witnessing impressive top-line growth, driven by higher clearing and transaction fees plus access and communication fees. Average daily volume (ADV) expanded at a CAGR of 13% over the last 45 years and increased nearly 30% year over year in the first quarter of 2018 to an all-time high of 22.2 million contracts, backed by higher volumes across all the six product lines.
Fundamental growth remains a huge booster for the company's improving operating leverage. Growing futures products in the emerging markets, non-transaction related opportunities and OTC offerings will likely continue to contribute modestly to top-line growth in the coming years. Its options business too gained traction.
Return on equity is a profitability measure, identifying how the company can effectively utilize its shareholders' fund. The company's ROE expanded 80 basis points to 8.5% at first-quarter 2018 end over the level at 2017 end.
CME Group's modest liquidity supports healthy capital deployment via dividend payouts, thereby adding to the company's financial flexibility as well as investor confidence. The company disburses five dividends per year with the fifth being variable, s based on excess cash flow in that year.
Lower tax rate on the back of an overhaul in tax policy, which slashed the rate to 21% from 35%, will lend an additional boost to the bottom line.
CME Group continuously banks on strategic initiatives to accelerate growth. Shutting down its European operations will result in annual savings between $10 million and $12 million, which is likely to impact 2018 in a major way. The same will also free up over $150 million in capital. Also, the company plans to exit credit default swap clearing business by mid-2018 in order to focus on over-the-counter clearing services on interest rate swaps and foreign exchange.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings and revenues reflect a year-over-year improvement of 42.4% and 13.5%, respectively.

Jaycee Doyle (my wedding date twin) inspired this post and she said the following "We purchased a digital picture frame. Both of our families collected photos of my dad, grandparents, friends, aunts and uncles... we scanned them, added music, and the picture frame was on our cake table. During speeches I had one of our groomsmen draw attention to the picture frame. All night we watched our guests go over and watch the slideshow. It was a great way of remembering them."
If you do not have the time or funds to get a digital picture frame, consider using the wedding photo of grandparents or other couples in your family that you want to honor.
This observance can do "double duty" in that it can be done in remembrance of loved ones and it can serve as a send off for the couple. Ask all of the guest to come outside and launch the lanterns. They are the perfect, safe alternative to a fireworks display that can provide a finale to your big day that you and your guests will remember forever! Don't forget to make a wish or say a prayer when the lanterns take-off , it is said that will help realize your wishes.
Place a single pillar candle for each person you would like to remember at the place/escort card table. Even consider using it as a centerpiece for that table. It is a muted and understated observance.
Whatever you decide, make sure that it is personal and honors your relationship with your loved one. Make it A Paradigm Shift moment in your wedding.

Before visiting China I surfed the Internet trying to learn as much as possible about the country, its traditions and customs. It seems like I knew everything about the country. But once I came across pretty interesting post devoted to the fake stores of famous and well known brands in the country. Well, to tell the truth I know that it is just OK for Chinese people to copy literally everything they are interested in and like. Fake Louis Vuitton or Valentino don't surprise me due to my indifference to the world of fashion and fashion brands. I'm not a fashionist at all. But it seemed to be pretty outrageous of them to launch a fake Apple store. For me it is a little bit offensive as I adore and idolize Steve Jobs and everything he managed to create. I was just puzzled and confused by the fact.
So when I arrived in Xi'an I was pretty upset to find out fake Apple store in the city center. I was so angry with it really. And the worst thing in it is that it looks like an actual Apple store. I don't know how but he managed to copy every single detail of authentic store. Even staff think that they are working for actual Apple store. I'm not kidding you! How dare they launched the production and store as well? I mean it is terrible and I wonder what's the attitude of the officials of the Apple? What about intellectual property rights? Or maybe Chinese authorities have never heard about it?
After it it was just nothing special to have a cup of coffee in a fake Starbucks. Later I found out that Southern part of the country is literally captured with fake Apple stores and other fake productions of well known and recognized brands.
They also managed to steal the idea of the famous Swedish company Ikea founded in the Southern China. This time they were a little bit modest and didn't copy the building. But when you find yourself inside the store you will recognize Ikea immediately. They arranged everything so that it really resembles real Ikea. Mock-up interiors, furniture design and even pencils are stolen! As for Ikea then the officials try to stay calm. The official statement by Ikea reports the following: "We have reported it to Inter IKEA Systems B.V and they are dealing with this matter together with their legal counsel. The best thing we can do to prevent such stores from opening up in the future is to open more stores and make the IKEA products available to more people". I wonder how do they manage to keep cool in the situation.
So it's fine I suppose that Chinese launch new productions not only of electronics but even automobile industry. Well, I wouldn't like to have a fake car, it doesn't look secure. What's the world coming to?
As for me I would remain unprovoked and would never buy this fake stuff ever!

Kim Says She May Get A Surrogate For KimYe Baby Number Three
Baby fever much?
If you keep up with the Kardashians, you may be wondering if anything has come from hubby Kanye's constant nagging for a third child, which Kim has spoken about on several occasions.
Well, it took a couple months, but it looks like she's thinking about another little munchkin to add to her party of two children, North and Saint.
"So I've come to the conclusion that I just want to explore surrogacy," Kim says to her mother Kris on next week's sneak peek of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
If you're familiar with preggo Kim, you may recall that she's had difficulty in the past. Both of her pregnancies were high risk, so this may be stemming from health concerns.
Plus, if you have enough money to preserve your body and hand off the 9-month task to someone who does it professionally, why not? Stop being so judgy, folks!

Calgary Stampeders vs. Ottawa Redblacks CFL Pick, Odds, Prediction - 7/8/16
Redblacks vs. Stampeders
CFL Football: Friday, July 8, 2016 at 7:00 pm (TD Place Stadium)
the Line Redblacks PK -- Over/Under: 53 See the Latest Odds
The Calgary Stampeders and Ottawa Redblacks play Friday night at TD Place Stadium.
The Calgary Stampeders look for a big road victory after a 1-1 start to the season. Bo Levi Mitchell is completing 62.5 percent of his passes for 542 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions. Mitchell has six touchdown pases in his last three games. Marquay McDaniel and Joe West have combined for 243 receiving yards and one touchdown while Kamar Jorden has six receptions. The Calgary Stampeders ground game is averaging 128.5 yards per contest, and Jerome Messam leads the way with 153 yards and one touchdown. Defensively, Calgary is allowing 21 points and 374 yards per game. Brandon Smith leads the Stampeders with 14 tackles, Quinn Smith has two sacks and Jamar Wall has two pass deflections.
USA TODAY Sports
The Ottawa Redblacks look to keep rolling after a strong 2-0 start to the season. Trevor Harris is completing 82.2 percent of his passes for 687 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions. Harris has seven touchdown passes in his last three games. Chris Williams and Brad Sinopoli have combined for 552 receiving yards and four touchdowns while Greg Ellingson has seven receptions. The Ottawa Redblacks ground game is averaging 100 yards per contest, and Travon Van leads the way with 133 yards on 24 carries. Defensively, Ottawa is allowing 25 points and 391 yards per game. Forrest Hightower leads the Redblacks with 11 tackles, Arnaud Gascon-Nadon has one sack and Abdul Kanneh has one interception.
The Stampeders are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games in July and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The RedBlacks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
The Ottawa Redblacks are flying out of the gate and getting terrific play from the offense. We're talking about an offense that's averaging nearly 570 yards of offense in the first two games. Not sure Calgary can keep up with that type of production. In a pick em, I have to side with the home team.

Set in Stone: Building America's New Generation of Arts Facilities, 1994-2008
This study looks at a major building boom of museums, performing arts centers and theaters in the United States from 1994 to 2008. It is the first scientifically prepared study of its kind and was requested both by cultural leaders and major foundations that had, in many cases, provided support for these building projects. The primary goal of the study was to establish research that would serve as a basic and essential resource for any cultural group in the country involved in planning the construction, renovation, or expansion of their facilities.
The Rape of Mesopotamia: Behind the Looting of the Iraq Museum
On April 10, 2003, as the world watched a statue of Saddam Hussein come crashing down in the heart of Baghdad, looters attacked the Iraq National Museum. Despite the presence of an American tank unit, the pillaging went unchecked, and more than 15,000 artifacts – some of the oldest evidence of human culture – disappeared into the shadowy worldwide market in illicit antiquities. Since then the losses of antiquities in Iraq have increased, and include half a million artifacts that had previously been unexcavated.
Antiquities Under Siege: Cultural Heritage Protection after the Iraq War
This book contains the first full published account of the disasters that have befallen Iraq's cultural heritage after the removal of Saddam Hussein. It analyzes why the array of laws and international conventions, the advocacy efforts of cultural heritage organizations, and the military planning and implementation of cultural protection operations all failed, and continue to fail, to prevent massive and irreversible loss.

Well, maybe I wasn't clear. What I was say that from a standpoint of a webmaster, UNIX administrator, and C programmer, I see a multithreaded server as a very high priority as it should increase performance quite a bit. Now perhaps when I said "any feature...could be held" I was vague in that the types of changes I was trying to reference were those that would not be thread safe. Those types of changes will just cause two to three times more work since you would have to go back and make it completely thread safe later. Unless, of course, any changes that are applied for 1.2 are watched closely for thread safeness; just for the sake of being easily included into the 2.0 tree to make work on 2.0 that much easier.

Luster Skin Cream Helps Erase Wrinkles!
Luster Age Defying Cream uses fast-acting ingredients to help you look years younger fast. The key to this formula is how it helps firm, tighten, and rehydrate your skin. When you're trying to look younger, you need something that puts the health of your skin first. And, that's why you need to try Luster Anti Aging Cream. This product makes taking care of your skin and erasing wrinkles easy. It nourishes and revitalizes your skin to help you look years younger. But, more importantly, Luster Age Defying Cream makes your skin healthy again, which is what mature skin is often lacking. And, what expensive dermatologist treatment can say that?
Healthy skin has the beautiful lit-from-within glow. And, you can't mimic it with makeup or cosmetic procedures. Instead, you have to start at the baseline: good skincare. That's why you need to try out Luster Age Defying Cream for yourself. It can bring that lit-from-within glow back. And, it can even smooth out wrinkles, fine lines, and dryness. This cream will have you looking naturally younger, firmer, and brighter. Whereas, injections just kind of freeze your face and make people wonder if you got work done. Luster Cream is the easy way to make your skin healthy again. And, it works fast to take years off your face. Are you ready to turn back the hands of time? Tap the button below to grab your Luster Age Defying Cream trial!
How Does Luster Age Defying Cream Work?
The secret to Luster Age Defying Cream is that it takes care of all your layers of skin. Wrinkles take root deep in your skin. So, in order to look younger, you need to treat those underlying layers, not just the surface. And, many products just sit on the surface of your skin. We don't want that. Instead, Luster Age Defying Cream gets in deep to erase wrinkles at the root. This allows helps stimulate collagen production. And, that leads to firmer, tighter skin. That means you could say goodbye to droopy skin around your jaw! Are you ready for a moisturizer that does so much more than hydrates? Then, Luster Age Defying Cream is the one you need.
Now, you may be wondering, why don't you just get injections? Well, you could, if you're okay with dropping $1,000 on something that only lasts three months. Or, if you're okay with never treating the underlying problem, improving the health of your skin, or buying more products to do what injections can't. Look, it's easier on your skin and your wallet to use a nourishing cream like Luster Age Defying Cream. This cream does so much more for your skin than injections ever could. And, Luster Age Defying Cream costs a fraction of what injections cost, but gives you longer-lasting results. Skip the injections. Just because they're trendy doesn't mean they're worth it.
Luster Age Defying Cream Benefits:
- Increases Your Skin's Collagen Levels
- Smooths Out Wrinkles And Fine Lines
- Helps Boost New Collagen Production
- Boosts Hydration From The Inside Out
- Repairs And Renews Damaged Skin Fast
How To Use Luster Age Defying Cream
So, you could just slap Luster Age Defying Cream on and go. But, we have a few tips for making Luster Age Defying Cream work even better. First, apply it only to clean skin. We know, sometimes you don't have time to wash your face. But, even if you just splash some water on your skin and pat it dry, that helps. We recommend using a creamy, non-stripping cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup from your face. Then, apply Luster Age Defying Cream only after patting your skin dry. Patting leaves behind some moisture to allow Luster Anti Aging Cream to sink in even farther. And, patting doesn't break down collagen like rubbing does. Then, you can apply Luster Skin Cream all over your face, down your neck, and down your chest, too, if you'd like to fight wrinkles there.
Luster Age Defying Cream Ingredients
- Phytoceramides – First, Luster Age Defying Cream uses this ingredient. These ceramides help rebuild your skin. They renew the outer layer of your skin that often breaks down as you age. And, they help lock in moisture to keep your skin hydrated all day and night long.
- Retinol – This is one of the most powerful ingredients on the market today. Luster Age Defying Cream uses it to help rebuild the collagen in your skin. Retinol is also great for increasing cell turnover, which helps smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. That's why we love seeing it here.
- Acmella Flower Extract – Next, Luster Age Defying Cream uses this to restore elasticity to your skin. This helps rebuild the cellular network underneath your skin. So, your skin has more elasticity, more firmness, and a lifted appearance. It also looks youthfully plumper.
- Black Currant Seed Extract – Fourth, Luster Age Defying Cream uses this. This helps fight off damaging free radicals. Free radicals cause up to 80% of your wrinkles and dark marks. But, this ingredient helps protect against them, as well as erase the damage skin already has.
- Peptides – Finally, Luster Age Defying Cream uses a mixture of peptides to make skin plump and firm. Peptides help rebuild collagen. And, since we lose so much collagen as we age, this is important. Peptides also increase the thickness of your skin, which keeps moisture in.
Get Your Luster Age Defying Cream Trial!
You can order a Luster Anti Aging Cream trial below today. That way, you can start out seeing how you like it first. Luster Age Defying Cream applies to your skin easily. In other words, it's not greasy or heavy. But, it's hydrating enough to make wrinkles look less obvious right away. Luster Age Defying Cream should help your skin in a few weeks. But, if you continue using Luster Age Defying Cream, you'll see even more promising results. So, if you want to start seeing wrinkles disappear, what are you waiting for? The Luster Age Defying Cream trial won't last long. This is your chance to start turning back the hands of time for yourself.

Create a Clan and work together with other players to fight against the Ice Queen and Clans of other Lord Marshals. Clans allow players to unite with their allies as a well-organized team under one collective name, banner, and work towards the same goals.
You must advance to Level 5 before you can join a Clan, and Level 10 before you can create one.
You may join a Clan in any the following ways:
Once you've reached Level 5, you may become a Trainee in a Clan's Academy without sending an Application; but only if the Clan has the space to train new players in their Academy (the number of spaces for Trainees is limited to 10). To do so, go to the Clan Hall and open the "Join Clan" tab. If you haven't decided which Clan or Academy to apply for, press "Join Random Clan". This will place you within an open Clan based on your language preferences and Stronghold location. You can be a member of only 1 Clan at a time. To join another Clan, you must first leave your current Clan.
If you create your own Clan, it will automatically have an Academy to educate Trainees.
How to Create and Manage a Clan
Go to the Clan Hall, open the "My Clan" tab, enter a unique name for your Clan, design a unique custom banner and pay a set amount of Emeralds to create a new Clan.
The Clan Ranks are as follows: Chief, Advisor, Elder, Veteran, Warrior, Shield, Envoy, Spymaster, Sword, Meat, and Trainee. Some of the features in the "My Clan" window are only available to the Chief, Advisor, and Elder.
You may manage your Clan in the following ways:
1. By editing the Clan description or terms and conditions for joining the Clan. This information will be displayed to all players in the list of Clans. This feature is available only to Chiefs
2. Accept or decline requests to join the Clan. To view all requests, go to the "My Clan" tab and click the "Applicants". This feature is available only to Chiefs and Advisors
3. Send Clan invitations. Go to another Stronghold and click the "'Invite to Coalition" button.
4. Set and edit Clan Rank for Clan members. Open the "My Clan" tab, and press the button next to a player's Clan Rank icon, then set the new Clan Rank for this player. Chiefs can appoint Advisors to assist them in managing the Clan. Advisors cannot appoint other Advisors or edit the current Chief's and Advisors' Clan Ranks. This feature is available only to Chiefs, Advisors and Elders.
5. Remove players from Clan. Open the "My Clan" tab and press the "X" button in the action list. This feature is available only for Chiefs and Advisors. Advisors cannot remove the other Advisors and Chiefs from the Clan.
6. Designate a new Chief. Click the button next to a player's Clan Rank icon and set their rank to Chief.
7. Dissolve the Clan. Open the "My Clan" tab and remove all players from the Clan, including yourself.
Clan Achievements
Clan Achievements are optional challenges that require the joint efforts of all Clan Members. Upon completion of each Achievement, each Clan will be rewarded with a Clan-wide Bonus that will give them a significant edge over their competitors, along with additional perks for each participating Clan Member. These may include Units, permanent modifications to their Stronghold or Unit statistics, or other features.
All Clan Achievements feature multiple levels. Upon completion of each Achievement Level, your Clan will be rewarded with increasingly large Bonuses. After completing the all an Achievement's Levels, the Achievement will be rated "Gold". When a Clan has completed all Achievements at the "Gold" rating, either the Chief or an Advisor may take a screenshot of their Achievements (taken at the Clan Hall) and submit it to the Plarium support team to get a unique Clan logo.
There are 17 Clan Achievements:
1. Keepers of the Flame
To complete this Achievement, a Clan must hold the specified number of Level 5 Obelisks simultaneously for a minimum of 15 uninterrupted minutes.
2. Conquerors
To complete this Achievement, a Clan must conquer the indicated number of Level 5 enemy Obelisks.
3. Iron Grip
To complete this Achievement, a Clan must use Obelisks to control the specified area of Shingårdian territory for at least 15 uninterrupted minutes.
4. Dragon Slayers
To complete this Achievement, a Clan must destroy the indicated number of Dragons (excluding Drakling Scouts) at enemy Obelisks.
5. Sorcerers
Complete this Achievement by using the indicated quantity of Elixir to upgrade your Units.
6. Storm Bringers
To complete this Achievement, several Clan Members must simultaneously feature in the Top 10 Battleground Rankings.
7. Warriors of Steel
A Clan must recruit the indicated number of Lord Marshals to complete this Achievement.
8. Decimators
To complete this Achievement, a Clan must downgrade enemy Obelisks by the total number of Levels indicated. (For example, if you are required to downgrade 500 Obelisk Levels in total, you may weaken 500 Obelisks by 1 Level each, or 100 Obelisks by 5 levels each, etc.)
9. Trueblood Warriors
To complete this Achievement, a Clan must train Units that are worth the indicated number of Power Points.
10. Liberators
To complete this Achievement, a Clan must earn the indicated number of Points by attacking or defending Battlegrounds.
11. Dragon Kin
To complete this Achievement, a Clan must gain the specified amount of Resources from Raids.
12. Heroes of Shingård
To complete this Achievement, a Clan must complete the set number of Daily Offerings.
13. Battle Frenzy
To complete this Achievement, a Clan must destroy rival Units (other players' Units) that are worth the indicated number of Power Points.
14. Kings of the Mountain
To complete this Achievement, a Clan must upgrade the indicated number of Obelisk Levels.
Power Points
Power Points are a unique value assigned to each Unit in the game, based on and relative to its respective Offensive or Defensive value. Power Points are used to make progress towards certain Achievements, and also play a significant role in the base calculation for experience points earned during battles.
Achievement Bonuses
There are two kinds of Achievement Bonuses – Clan Bonuses and Individual Bonuses.
Clan Bonuses
These are awarded to a Clan collectively upon the successful completion of a Clan Achievement. These Bonuses can take the form of Ranking Point boosts in the Clan Rankings, or Clan-wide bonuses to Unit or Stronghold statistics for all participating Clan Members. Clan Bonuses earned while being a Member of one Clan are non-transferable, and cannot be retained upon leaving that Clan. Clan Members joining a Clan after it has earned an Achievement will not enjoy the benefits of any existing Clan Bonuses. If you leave your Clan and join another one, you will be able to receive Clan Achievement bonuses only after you have been in that Clan for 7 days or more.
Individual Bonuses
These are your personal rewards for assisting your Clan in completing a Clan Achievement – these can take the form of free Units or special items. To claim your Bonus, click on the highlighted "Claim Reward" button in the "My Clan" section of the Clan Hall once your Clan has successfully completed an Achievement. Individual Bonuses are one-time offers and, like Clan Bonuses, cannot be used or earned again once you've left the Clan in which you received it, even if your new Clan earns a similar Clan Achievement.
To view the list of Clan Achievements, along with their Terms and Bonuses, go to the "My Clan" tab in the Clan Hall.
Clan Diplomatic Status
Only Chiefs and those they entrust with Diplomatic Privileges have the right to negotiate 5 distinct Diplomatic Statuses with other Clans.
1. Neutral – All Clans begin with Neutral Status towards all other Clans. Clans with Neutral relations can still attack each other's Obelisks within normal attack limits.
2. Ally – Allied Clans have publically professed their mutual respect and friendship, but are still able to attack each other's Obelisks within the normal attack limits
3. Enemy – Clans with Enemy Status have publically declared their hostility towards each other, but are still restrained to Obelisk attacks within normal attack limits
4. At Peace – Clans who have declared a State of Peace between each other are unable to attack one another's Obelisks.
5. Feuding – Clans who have declared a Feud are not bound by any Attack Limits when attacking each other's Obelisks.
NOTE: ONLY the Chief or those who have been entrusted with Diplomatic Privileges can change their Diplomatic Status with other Clans.
To change your Diplomatic Status with another Clan, go to your Clan Hall. Once you have changed the Diplomatic Status, the other Clan will receive a notification to accept or decline the new status. Once the other Clan has accepted the Status change, the offer cannot be cancelled. You and your Clan members will only see the new Diplomatic Status as active when the other Clan has accepted the change.
Clan Missions
Clan Missions are special operations that allow you to cooperate with your Clan members to complete global objectives. All Clan Missions are given at random, and each Clan will have 24 hours to complete them. Participation is optional; however, each completed Clan Mission grants huge rewards to your Clan. Each Mission features multiple phases. Upon completion of each phase of a Mission, your Clan will be rewarded with increasingly larger Rewards. All Rewards received are stored within the "My Items" window.
There are 6 different Clan Missions:
1. Train Units: to complete this Mission, a Clan must enlist Units that are worth the indicated number of Power Points. TAKE NOTE: You will NOT receive any Power Points for Units added to your current Unit production queues before your Clan received the Mission.
2. Engage Battlegrounds: to complete this Mission, a Clan must earn the indicated number of Points by attacking or defending regular Battlegrounds. If your fellow Lord Marshals engage Saga Quest Battlegrounds, the Points they earn will be added ONLY to their Rankings, and won't count towards completing the Clan Mission.
3. Raid rival Strongholds: to complete this Mission, a Clan must gain the specified amount of Resources from Raids.
4. Claim Daily Offerings: to complete this Mission, a Clan must claim the required number of Daily Offerings.
5. Kill enemy Units: to complete this Mission, a Clan must earn the required number of Points by destroying the Units of other Lord Marshals.
6. Downgrade Enemy Obelisks: to complete this Mission, shockingly enough, a Clan must earn Points by downgrading Obelisks held by enemies.

Went to Marisol Friday night and sat on the lovely patio (although the moving christmas light reindeer on the roof startled me severely at one point). Our service, while not Commander's formal or Galatoire's flair, was friendly and pretty prompt. I HAD to order the foie gras en bocal appetizer after the intriguing disagreement a few weeks ago, and for those who, like me, were unclear as to what was involved, they take the foie, stuff it in a little jar, steam it, then dump it on a plate at your table, where you smear it on toast and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Oh yeah, there were truffles in with it, too. And you eat it all with your hands. I found it totally luscious, although I think by an eyelash I prefer it seared.
I then had a perfectly, perfectly done piece of drum that my fisherman SO swore had been swimming that morning, based on the complete lack of any fishiness, under a mustardy aioli coupled with large but absolutely tender asparagus spears, and fingerling potatoes. The SO had the salmon (crispy skin, moist and lovely interior) on baby greens and roasted beet and lump crabmeat salad. For dessert, the hot chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla.
The whole thing was flawless. Everything was clearly completely fresh and prepared to show off each flavor rather than mask anything. I was expecting to be impressed based on the opinions expressed here, but my SO is a cuisine purist and is predispositioned to pooh-pooh fusiony sorts of preparations. I think he ended up being more enthusiastic about it than I was. It's possible that this is because he had a glass of wine and I didn't (due to a short round of antibiotics). It also could be because I was trying to remember every detail so I could write about it here, and I'm wondering if that took me a little out of the moment, to put it sort of in pop psychology terms. So I ended up self-consciously concentrating on every mouthful and I think ended up denying myself of that ineffable "wow" moment. But that's my own thing. I'm adding myself to the pantheon of Marisol believers. Now I have to try the tapas Fridays.

for you have exalted above all things

Do not forsake p the work of your hands.
