Other than a long soaking rain shower in the middle of the late-afternoon matches, Thursday was a great first day for the NCAA tennis tournament.

Unfortunately for the No. 6-seeded Georgia Bulldogs, they were caught in the middle of storm. When the weather came through, the Bulldog had secured the doubles point against No. 11 Texas, had won all six first sets in singles and were ahead in the second set of four others.

After the 58-minute delay, the match resumed, as did Georgia’s dominance. The Bulldogs rolled to a 4-0 win in what amounted to just over 2 1/2 hours of actual playing time.

“Very, very encouraging,” Georgia coach Jeff Wallace said. “From start to finish, this might have been our best match of the year.”

It certainly was better than the previous one. The Bulldogs (24-4) needed Maho Kowase to come back from an 0-6 first set to defeat Clemson 4-3 on Friday. Kowase clinched this one, too, but 7-5, 6-1 this time.

“It’s definitely good to win one like this,” said Georgia senior Chelsey Gullickson, the 2010 singles national champion. “Sometimes you need those hard matches to give you the confidence you need to get through.”

The Bulldogs will face the winner of Duke-Virginia at 4 p.m. Saturday.

Georgia Tech’s women would gladly have taken a delay in the middle of their Round of 16 match with California. The ninth-seeded Bears were on the Yellow Jackets fast and hard and never let up.

“California today was just little bit better than us,” Tech coach Bryan Shelton said. “They’re very strong, especially up at the top of their lineup. After we lost the doubles point, it was too much of a mountain for us to climb in the singles.”

The Yellow Jackets, who won a 2007 national championship here at UGA’s Dan Magill Tennis Complex, finish the season at 16-12.

“I thought we finished the season strong,” Shelton said. “Our team started really believing in themselves and the work they put in throughout the season. I think it showed at our regional.”

The Jackets lose four seniors off this year’s squad, but expect to be back in national hunt quickly. Four players are coming in for next season as part of a highly ranked recruiting class, including ninth-ranked junior Catherine Harrison of Memphis.

“I think the future is bright,” Shelton said. “We’ve got four great freshmen coming in next year, we’ve got some returnees and some girls that really battled for us. I’m excited about the youth that we have coming in and the talent that we have. I’m also proud of what this team accomplished this year.”

Notable Chinese-American author and human rights activist Bette Bao Lord, who is in residence this week as a Montgomery Fellow, will engage in a public “conversation” about her personal and professional experiences in Filene Auditorium today at 4:30 p.m., in a talk monitored by English professor Melissa Zeiger.

Lord — best-selling author of “Spring Moon: A Novel of China,” “Legacies: A Chinese Mosaic” and the well-known children’s book “In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson” — serves on the Board of the Newseum, Freedom House and the Council on Foreign Relations. In 1998, Lord was also awarded the Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Humans Rights by President Bill Clinton.

Invited to the College as a Montgomery Fellow by Montgomery Endowment Executive Director Richard Stamelman, Lord has visited several classes while on campus, including Zeiger’s “Immigrant Women Writing in America,” which perfectly corresponds with her own experiences, Lord said in an interview with The Dartmouth.

Instead of a formal lecture, Lord’s conversation with Zeiger will offer an opportunity for her to tell stories and share her experiences with students, faculty and local residents.

“I’ll be hopefully just telling stories — stories about my own life and stories about people I’ve met,” she said. “But I was thinking about what kind of stories I would tell, and I thought to myself about how much of my life has been infused with luck — stories [that] I’ve heard about people’s luck and lucky things or unlucky things that happened to me.”

As a self-proclaimed storyteller, Lord said she hopes that her stories will “entertain and edify” Dartmouth audiences.

“The things that I have to tell are really the events in my lifetime,” Lord said. “Not because I’m so interesting but because I lived in interesting times and have had the opportunity of meeting people from so many worlds — whether it’s publishers in New York or dissidents in China or high school kids.”

Lord was born in Shanghai and came to the United States with her family when she was eight years old, she said. “In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson” describes Lord’s own experiences growing up in Brooklyn, illustrating an experience similar to her own immigration.

“I have myself in [my novels] because it’s my knowledge of Chinese culture, Chinese traditions and Chinese cultural context — but they’re all made-up characters,” Lord said. “Although, oddly enough, I’ve had more than a handful, much more than a handful, of readers write me and insist that I’ve written about their family.”

The main character in “In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson” is Shirley Temple Wong, a name that Lord said is connected to her own name, as she was born the same year in which her namesake Bette Davis won the Academy Award for her role in “Jezebel” .

“My parents decided, when we were coming to America, to give me an English name as well — they named me Bette like Bette Davis,” she said. “Now the other choice would have been after the movie, and I’m very glad they decided not to name me Jezebel.”

In reference to her habits as a writer, Lord revealed that she is a “very slow writer,” she said.

“Writing for me is really about rewriting and rewriting and rewriting,” she said. “It took me six years to write ‘Spring Moon.’ ‘In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson’ took less because of its form. Once I decided to write it as a children’s book, it was much easier to write. You have to find the point of view of your character.”

She said that there are two questions she is most frequently asked about her writing process: when she writes and with what. Lord said that she avoids pen and pencil and works like a true night owl from midnight to 6 a.m.

“I cannot read my own writing, so I’ve always written on a typewriter of one kind or another,” she said.

Lord said she is a member of a monthly book club, and this June will mark its 103rd meeting. This is not your average book club, however, as attendants include television actor Alan Alda of “MAS*H,” children’s book author Arlene Alda, biographer Hannah Pakula, journalist Robert MacNeil and journalist Calvin Trillin, she said. Trillin was previously in residence as a Montgomery Fellow in February 2011. The club is called “The Moveable Feast” because each person takes a turn to host, and the organization’s only rule is that nobody is allowed to cook, she said.

Three men abducted a Springfield man from outside his home, forced him to withdraw money from ATMs, and left him in the trunk of his car early Wednesday morning, according to the Fairfax County Police Department.

Around 1:30 a.m., the 22-year-old victim was leaving his home on the 6100 block of Cumberland Avenue, near the Concord Shopping Center and Springfield Plaza. Three men with their faces covered approached him, demanding that he get into his own car at gunpoint.

The robbers drove the man to two banks, where they made him withdraw cash from the ATMs.

The robbers then forced the man into the trunk of his car and drove the car to Piedmont Place near Braddock Road in the Annandale area. One suspect opened the trunk, cut the victim with a knife and told him not to get out of the trunk until the suspects had left.

When the victim eventually got out of the trunk, his abductors were gone. Police say his injury from the knife was not life-threatening.

The suspects are described as black males between 18 and 25 years old. They were wearing hooded jackets. All three had their faces covered with masks or cloth.

Social media monitoring site, Social Bakers, estimated more than 90 percent of those who use the internet locally access Facebook; the number one website of its kind and therefore a major hub for new media marketing.

The question now facing many TT businesses is not if to advertise online but how to and where to do so. Digital marketing solutions often require the help or guidance of professionals, not just someone who knows who to set up a “pay-per-click” advertisement on Facebook.

That’s the very reason why IUGO Digital Marketing was established as a new division of Lonsdale, Saatchi and Saatchi (Lonsdale), one of TT’s major advertising agencies.

Chairman of Lonsdale, Kenrick Attale, noted consumers’ changing media use habits, which he said requires expertise to get your message across effectively.

“A lot of the emerging market and the market between 35 and 40 are now consuming media differently. They consume their news from their laptops, their music from their mp3 players and their games from their smartphones.

“They want the kind of interactivity that digital consumption allows. This in turn creates tremendous opportunity for organisations to communicate with them, provided they have the tools and know-how to do so effectively. This is what IUGO brings to the table,” Attale stated.

The other divisions created by Lonsdale are Sage Corporate Communications and Publications, and The Aesthetic 868, for event management, experience marketing and spatial branding design.

Lonsdale said this was a major shift in its business plan but one which it was optimistic about.

Pronounced ‘I-you-go’; Latin for “to connect”, IUGO provides website design and development, display and search advertising, brand monitoring, interactive applications; flash games, eCards, et cetera, and Mobile phone applications and more.

IUGO is now a registered iPhone and BlackBerry developer and has already developed custom “In D Mix” apps for Angostura posted to the respective companies’ App Stores, as well as designed the White Oak website.

Based at Lonsdale’s offices on Herbert Street, St. Clair, IUGO has a core staff of two – Justin Beausoleil and Dexter Banfield, veteran web developer and local new media pioneer. Rather than hiring a large in-house staff, IUGO has established partnerships with new media professionals locally, regionally and internationally. These connections include all of the global digital divisions and companies owned by Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide. Lonsdale’s Chief Operating Officer, Rachel Stampfli, spoke of IUGO’s ability to access talent as needed for new media projects large and small.

“IUGO has been outfitting itself with very good human resources, not just in Trinidad but in the Caribbean and internationally. This includes Web designers and developers. Already we have access to designers in Trinidad, Barbados, the Dominican Republic, the UK and Russia. Our list of developers is very wide and growing all of the time.

“IUGO is well equipped to handle any job…from a basic website for a small retail company or a professionally developed Facebook page to highly customised websites with a lot of complex functionalities,” Stampfli said.

Several Lonsdale clients in need of digital marketing have used IUGO’s services, including BLINK Broadband for its social media presence and weekly blog. The team also designed and developed the digital aspect of bMobile’s “Hands Free” campaign, which included highly interactive web and Facebook pages.

IUGO has also worked on the University of Trinidad and Tobago’s Caribbean Fine Cocoa website, as well as designed and developed the website and Facebook pages for the ABEL Buildings Solutions Caribbean Construction Awards.

For a golf retreat that literally rises above and beyond what you’re used to in the Southeast, Primland does the trick nicely.

Primland, a 12,000-acre resort — nearly the size of Bermuda — is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia, far away from cities and towns.

The name comes from the resort’s founder, Didier Primat, a French-born businessman and environmentalist who purchased the land in 1976 and turned it into a preserve and hunting retreat. Golf entered the picture with the opening of the aptly-named Highland Course in 2006, located on top of a mountain plateau a few miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Designed by acclaimed British golf course architect Donald Steel, the course teeters on the edge of the ridge line at certain points, offering stunning views of the river gorge and surrounding mountain peaks. While many high-altitude courses are cradled in mountain valleys, at Primland the valleys are below, making it feel like you’re golfing on top of the world. Imagine playing links around the rim of the Grand Canyon, only the canyon is filled with trees.

Shortly after opening, Golf Digest named The Highland Course as the best new public golf course in America in the $75 and over category, referring to it as an “isolated corner of the golf universe.”

Award-winning golf writer James Dodson, author of “American Triumvirate: Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, and the Modern Age of Golf,” calls Primland “one of the best golfing experiences going right now,” and says of The Highland Course, “it’s the most rewarding modern course I’ve seen.” Dodson, who has played many of the world’s most renowned courses, touts the golfing at Primland for its “deep immersion in nature,” saying, “it’s a course not designed to sell fairway homes, but for the pure experience of golf. Aesthetically and athletically, it doesn’t disappoint.”

It’s a remote place, in the wilderness up winding two-lane roads where bear crossing signs are common. But don’t let the wilderness part fool you. Primland is a high-end resort, with a state-of-the-art lodge adjacent to the golf course. It’s the kind of place where you’re not allowed to park your own car or get your own ice from the ice machine. They have someone to do that for you.

And the lodge rooms have one-touch buttons by the bed to open and close the blinds and provide mood lighting at any time of day. Plenty of other activities besides golf are offered for guests — hunting, horseback riding, shooting clays, Geo-caching, hiking, ATV tours and a full-service spa — but one notable attraction is the observatory attached to the main lodge building. Disguised as a grain silo, the observatory contains a high-tech 14-inch camera telescope that collects light from the nighttime sky in seconds-long intervals to provide images that can’t be seen with the naked eye or even through the eyepiece of the the scope in real time. The lack of light pollution at this altitude, away from population centers, makes Primland a perfecy spot for this kind of stargazing. A resort with a resident astronomy staff is a rare thing. The Tour of the Universe program begins with a field lesson about the constellations and ends up in the observatory dome, which rotates in sync with the telescope to gaze upon stars, cloud nebulae and spiral galaxies light years away as they come into view on clear nights above the Appalachians.

For spring, designers show their softer sides and give a nod to modernism
Designers showed their collections for next spring and summer during New York Fashion Week, which wrapped up on Thursday. The fashion event kicked off a new round of runway shows that will roll out in style capitals around the world over the next few weeks. Here are some of my favourite looks from the New York women’s collections.
Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy must have had sweetie pie starlets in mind when they designed their charming spring collection, inspired by artist Vincent van Gogh and his flair for light and shadows, sunflowers and starry nights. And indeed, Taylor Swift, Elle and Dakota Fanning, and Beyonce and Solange Knowles were seated front row at the unimaginably beautiful show full of fairy tale femininity.
The mood was one of blissful naivete, as portrayed by a girlish dress in a vibrant yellow metallic sunflower print, folds in the skirt catching the light. And in a draped gown in midnight blue and purple embroidered with “Starry Night” chiffon swirls, sequins and Swarovski crystals. On another dress, in bright aqua blue, variegated silk pleats on the bodice cast subtle shadows, bringing to mind Venetian blinds.
The workmanship was exquisite, with some of the starry prints depicting constellations taken from astronomical charts. Accessories included metallic leather belts and evening sandals that twinkled with crystals.
The designers continued to push deeper into the sportswear genre with colourful basket-weave hand-knit sweaters topping asymmetrical skirts and brush-stroke print tops over pants. “Nocturnal colour” was what they were going for, said Kate Mulleavy, adding that she and her sister, both Pasadena, Calif., residents, sketched part of the collection at the Norton Simon Museum, where they studied Van Gogh’s portrait of his mother and other paintings. The magical quality of the collection was meant to evoke the dreamscape in one of their favourite films, “Sleeping Beauty.” That’s fitting, since the Mulleavys can be considered the Walt Disneys of the fashion world. Perhaps they have another film costume deal in the works, something a little cheerier than “Black Swan”?Midcentury architecture, shiny new cars and suburban bliss meets ticky-tacky, tiki-themed, Naugahyde-covered, shag-carpeted rumpus room.That’s what went through my head watching the Proenza Schouler show, which hinted at some of the hallmarks of the postwar boom, as filtered through a dingy lens.

Chanel and Louis Vuitton are cases of companies that maintain their handbags uniform.

So which means that spotting replica designer Gucci comes down, often times, to examining the quality.

The Font: This is a good place to start. The Gucci tag fonts may from time to time, vary slightly from carrier to bag, depending over the region of Europe they were manufactured in. But the vast majority of time the font can be a powerful tell for spotting a replica designer Gucci. The Gucci font truly puffy, crooked, overly sale paper, undefined or blurry. The Gucci font should be a clear and highly detailed impression. The overly circular replica designer font can be a common mistake made as a result of counterfeiters.

Font alignment: The font ought to line up symmetrically. Both “Gucci”, and the “Made in Italy”, should be perfectly centered contained in the label, and relative to one another. The GUCCI stamp should be centered perfectly above the Stated in Italy, and the Made in Italy stamp should be centered perfectly inside label. Anything looking off-centered is a huge red flag, and strong evidence that bag is replica designer.

Content label Stitching: The stitching which frames the label should also maintain perfect symmetry. Meaning the length from the stitch line to the labels edge should remain consistent on all sides of the label. The stitches themselves should also be consistent, every last stitch being the same length on all four sides in the label. If the stitch facial lines are crooked or in the event the stitches are erratic sizes, the handbag is most likely a replica designer Gucci.

Good luck and safe shopping
I’ve spent many hard searching charity shops when reading about countless celebrities claiming to have purchased a ‘vintage Gucci bag’ from Oxfam at the cost of a bottle of wines. The only thing I have ever found resembling a replica designer handbag was some sort of Louis Vuitton clutch container which upon close inspection was actually stated in china and the LV logo painted all around the bag actually said 1V! Of course I did not buy it since it would probably have been a lot cheaper off a sector stall!

Following my own failed attempts at charity shops, I tried car boot sales, Jumble gross sales, Flea Markets and Car port sales but I was still minus my replica designer handbag!

How To Reward Your Quit Smoking Plan

For people who have finally made the momentous decision that you’ll be gonna quit smoking and now have set a date to help you start this grand adventure, let’s make sure that it works. Setting a date is only a very small section of the programme obviously and you’ve got to create a plan in place that will help you whilst you move ahead.

Try to remember, most of all a journey of 1000 miles depends on a simple and single step. Take a look at each day being an achievement and understand that you are one step nearer to your ultimate goal of quitting smoking.

By taking this complete journey step-by-step you will find it a great deal easier and many people advocate that you should have some sort of a treat for a reward once you get to specific benchmarks along this road. If you are fully mindful of the financial cost of smoking and how it may happen to be depriving you of a great number of things during these years gone by, it’s a good plan to put the money aside that you are saving through not smoking and to physically spend that money at a specified period in the long term as a reward for not using it to acquire cigarettes.

It doesn’t take long to add up just how much smoking costs you in financial terms. It’s a very expensive habit these days in particular because the government appears to apply so much taxation. Just imagine if you were able to take a fantastic, high-quality dinner out with your loved one at one of your favourite restaurants a month or so from now, as a reward for one’s efforts?

Did you know that you can get an App for your iPhone or other device these days which will show you how much money you have saved on a rolling basis, together with the volume of chemicals that you have avoided by not smoking? It is a great App to have and another tool that will help you understand just how foolish you have been and how sensible you are right now.

Of course the financial aspect of your effort to stop smoking is only part of the battle. You’re going to find that you have a much more active and enjoyable social life and will not be ostracised so much as you may have been in the past by the more than 75% of your own friends and acquaintances who do not smoke. You’ll find that you are transitioning into a larger part of society and won’t feel out of place in an increasing number of public places, simply because you’re unable to “light up” when you want to.
