Tennessee's 2019 Offseason Outlook: Safety - 247Sports

ENJOY VIP ACCESS TO GOVOLS247 WITH A FREE SEVEN-DAY TRIAL)WHO'S GONE> Micah Abernathy (eligibility), Todd Kelly Jr. (eligibility)The Vols are losing their two most experienced safeties in Abernathy and Kelly, a duo that combined for 48 career starts. Abernathy was a three-year starter and Kelly was a full-time starter in 2016, when he led the Vols in tackles, after playing a significant role off the bench as a freshman in sophomore. The Vols got a glimpse of life with them not in the picture last season, when Abernathy missed four games due to injury and Kelly didn't play much defensively outside of the starts he made against South Carolina and Charlotte.Abernathy, slowed by injury in two of his three seasons as a starter, had just 38 tackles and three tackles for loss in 2018 after he was third on the team with 81 tackles the previous season, while Kelly was hindered the past two seasons by knee problems that were bad enough he won't be continuing his football career.WHO'S HERE> Nigel Warrior (Sr.), Theo Jackson (Jr.), Shawn Shamburger (Jr.), Cheyenne Labruzza (R-So.), Trevon Flowers (So.), Brandon Davis (R-Fr.), Jaylen McCollough (Fr.)Warrior returns for his senior season and presumably will remain in his starting role. The former top-100 prospect has yet to make the kind of impact the Vols have hoped he would, though he's been Tennessee's second-leading tackler the past two seasons. Despite his production, Warrior occasionally struggled with his pursuit angles and tackling in run support and in coverage, but he likes the Pruitt, knows new defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach Derrick Ansley from recruiting and has one final season to put it all together.The competition for the other starting safety spot alongside Warrior quietly could be one of the better ones on the team this offseason.Flowers has be to considered the favorite even thoug... https://247sports.com/college/tennessee/Article/Tennessee-Vols-safety-2019-Offseason-Outlook-Nigel-Warrior-Trevon-Flowers-129598306/

Gainesville woman creates picture-perfect floral designs for weddings and photo shoots - Gainesville Times

Early sets her mind on a task, she brings her own personal sense of creativity and style to make it as beautiful and unique as possible.Recently, she styled a not-yet-released marketing video for Abernathy and Cochran Real Estate Group. For the video, she styled a table for a fall dinner party. She said she hand-dyed the table runner, did an autumn-colored floral arrangement and styled the table with fruit, candles, plates and flatware.“We chose her because of her artistic style and her creativity and her love of all things home,” said Brad Abernathy, a partner at Abernathy and Cochran Real Estate Group in Gainesville.Abernathy said he met Early years ago when their children attended the same school.“We crossed paths a few different times in real estate-related business and we couldn’t think of anybody better to do the marketing video about real estate homes and decor than Ginny,” he said.But Early has not forgotten her roots. She said she has dreams of styling weddings in Europe or around United States. But for now most of her clients’ weddings are in North Georgia or Atlanta.Therefore, Early focuses on her style, which includes a lot of natural and organic looks with garden-gathered and art-inspired arrangements.“I really look at whether it’s an arrangement or bouquet or whatever I’m making,” she said. “Each piece is treated like a piece of art.”She said she lets the flowers “sing,” arranging them to best enhance their beauty. And she doesn’t follow strict recipes, calling for specific numbers of flowers.Early tries to create floral designs representative of her client, which is important to her. When she works with a bride, Early wants to hear all about the spouses-to-be.“I like to sit down and have a chat and hear all about them and their fiance,” she said. “Because no matter what style of flowers we do, I want it to be a reflection of the people getting married. I want everything to point toward the love that they have for each other, for that to be the focus.”She also wants to know the bride’s personal style to highlight her beauty.Early’s ability to create a design for a woman’s personal style comes in handy when she isn’t catering to a bride. During her downtime, she offers wardrobe makeovers, which involve discarding out-of-date, ill-fitting or unflattering clothing. Then she transforms into a personal shopper for her client. She said she puts together new looks to make her clients feel their best.All that is at the heart of her business, whether it’s flowers or a person.“Whether I’m styling or doing flowers or other aspects of the game, doing a wardrobe makeover, that moment when it all comes together ... those moments where you can see in their eyes that the client feels like they’re connected with the way they were made to be is pretty amazing,” she said. “It kind of makes me cry. When someone finally feels like the best version of themselves, it’s an honor to be a part of that.”For more information, visit www.enemiesoftheaverage.com. ... http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/section/199/article/119507/

Buy THESE 10 Cut Flowers (They Last the Longest!) - StyleBlueprint

Lisianthus is one of her favorites. “Of the flowers that I routinely use, the longest-lasting showstopper is Lisianthus,” she says. “It holds beautifully.” It’s known by many names, including the “Texas bluebell” and the “poor man’s rose,” and it can last between seven and 10 days. Fair warning: It tends to be susceptible to rot if it’s sitting in unclean water, so be sure to change it out daily for the best results.SnapdragonsSarah tells us, “Snapdragons are the long-lasting cool-season winner.” In the right conditions, they can last seven to 10 days. When choosing your snapdragon stem, look for stalks that have one-third to one-half of their pods open.Top row, left to right: Calla Lilies, Snapdragons, Lisianthus; Bottom: CraspediaRELATED: How To Get Any Stain Out: Your Ultimate Stain Removal GuideAmaryllisGreg Campbell, co-owner of Garden District in Memphis, TN, says the Amaryllis is his favorite long-lasting flower choice for the winter. Native to West Africa, the Amaryllis can last more than two weeks. It’s often associated with strength because it’s tall and sturdy, and it can actually last even longer in a vase than when planted.CelosiaA summer bloom, Celosia is another top pick for Sarah. It can run the color spectrum from blood red to goldenrod, and it looks like ocean coral or something that jumped out of a Dr. Seuss story. It’s a member of the Amaranth family and sometimes lasts over two weeks.EryngoMattie Bush, owner of Amelia’s Flower Truck in Nashville, TN, is big on Eryngo. An eye-catching flowering herb, it’s bluish-purple, prickly looking, and resembles a thistle. Also referred to as Flat Sea Holly, Eryngo has an incredibly long vase life, sometimes lasting well over two weeks. We are grateful to all our sponsors:LimoniumLimonium is another one of Mattie’s choices. Also known as Sea Lavender, even though it has no relation to lavender at all, Limonium looks more fragile than it is. Often used for bouquet filler, Limonium can last one to two weeks, and it retains its color when dried out.Magnum MumsMagnum Mums round out Mattie’s top three long-lasting flowers. An oversized chrysanthemum with hundreds of petals, the beautiful bloom is an impressive flower that can last up to two weeks.RanunculusLauren is a fan of using Ranunculus for long-lasting arrangements. These beautiful flowers look like they’re crafted out of tissue paper. They resemble mini roses in bloom, making them a popular choice for wedding bouquets. They’re winter hardy, come in a variety of vivid colors, and last 10 to 12 days after being cut.Top row, left to right: Celosia, Amaryllis, Ranunculus; Bottom row, left to right: Limonium, mums, EryngoNow that you know which flowers last the longest, click here to read “Expert Tips to Make Fresh Cut Flowers Last.”**********Find more great tips that make life easier in our archives.

I really think they did a good job by not reopening too soon, because look at all the places that are having to close back down, like California, Texas,” Banks said. As the White House and Congress debate the next coronavirus relief bill, Banks said she would like more business funding and clarity on Paycheck Protection Program loans. The shop received a $75,000 loan under the program, allowing it to rehire furloughed staff. “They say it’s forgivable, but they haven’t come out with any clear-cut rules on how to make it forgivable,” Banks said. “I am on pins and needles.” Reporting by Makini Brice; Editing by Dan Burns and Richard ChangOur Standards:The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-smallbusiness/small-but-mighty-a-washington-florist-battles-back-in-the-pandemic-idUSKCN2511D6
