The sterling silver Nut Dice Ring ($88) from Individual Icons, what sez:

This ring is a perfect piece of jewelry for people who say that they don’t wear jewelry. It really does help with decisions (odds I stay home, evens I go out). As proper dice should, each pair of opposing sides adds up to seven.

See, now, if you had one, you could have it help you decide whether you want one or not.

And struggling.

Irish swimmer [Stephen Redmond, above], who is looking to become the first person in the world to complete the seven great ocean swims is currently in the water 11 hours on swim number 7, but a large current has swept him backwards.
He’s now trying to swim across the current. This is his GPS tracker here.

More as we get it.

UPDATE: Christine Duggan writes: “Steve was unfortunately pulled from the swim earlier this morning as the current was too strong. You can keep up to date
with him and his crew on Facebook here. Will keep you updated as we go.

Dogs Unleashed are campaigning for fair and balanced bye-laws for dogs on our beaches and in our parks and made this little video to highlight the issue. Given that it’s an issue that all dog owners are most likely interested in and that the video has lots of cute dogs I thought maybe you could put it up on the site?
