DELTONA -- Put your hands up, Mr. Mayor.
The mayor of Volusia County's largest city got mixed up in a case of mistaken identity this month when he was pulled over by deputies, told to get out of a friend's truck at gunpoint and handcuffed.
DELTONA -- Put your hands up, Mr. Mayor.
The mayor of Volusia County's largest city got mixed up in a case of mistaken identity this month when he was pulled over by deputies, told to get out of a friend's truck at gunpoint and handcuffed.
"I've never had a gun pointed at me," Deltona Mayor Dennis Mulder, 27, said Friday. "I figured in soon enough time they would figure out it was a mistake."
And within minutes they did -- the Florida tag on Addison Caldwell's truck was the same as a Texas tag reported stolen.
Deputies released the two and apologized for their mistake.
"I have no better story to tell to anyone but that," said Caldwell, 18, who was driving his Ford Ranger at the time and had to sit in the back of a patrol car for about two minutes.
Mulder and Caldwell were hauling trash Jan. 9 to the mayor's day-care center on Providence Boulevard when a deputy followed them into the parking lot. The men were told to stay in the truck until more deputies arrived.
"They asked us to get out at gunpoint," Mulder said. One deputy drew his weapon.
The two were handcuffed, and Caldwell was placed in the back of a patrol car, where he questioned the deputy about what was going on. He said as the deputy explained the tag was reported stolen, the call came over the radio that it was a Texas tag authorities should be looking for.
The deputy had done a random search on the tag and saw that it was flagged as stolen, according to a Sheriff's Office report. When the truck turned into the parking lot, the deputy thought the occupants were going to flee.
Sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said the rookie deputy didn't receive verification from dispatch before sending out a call that he had pulled over a stolen car. That message got surrounding deputies on their way to the scene.
While some of the deputies secured the two men, another took cover and pulled out his firearm.
"This is all consistent with the way a felony stop is executed," Davidson said. "I think fairly quickly the deputies' suspicion level began to drop as they realized the driver wasn't trying to flee" and the other man was the mayor.
Deputy Lonnie Feaster received additional training about calling in tag numbers to dispatch, Davidson said.
Mulder said he wasn't rattled by the incident because he knew he had done nothing wrong. But he did ask the deputies, some of whom recognized him, whether he could move out of sight from the residents traveling one of Deltona's main roads.
The mayor was chuckling about the ordeal Friday and said, "I knew they were just doing their job."
"I was impressed with the fast response time," he added.
Sheriff Ben Johnson also had a fast response time. Mulder said that about 10 minutes after he was released, the sheriff called to apologize and make sure the deputies were professional and courteous. The Sheriff's Office has a contract to provide law enforcement for the city.
"He just wanted to make sure they handled it properly," Mulder said.
The sheriff said a supervisor notified him of the incident.
"We made an error. I wanted to apologize for what happened," Johnson said Friday. "We were embarrassed it happened."
Mulder and his friend Caldwell said they joke about the incident now that it's all over. Mulder often wears shirts monogrammed with the city's seal and also used to have a magnetic seal on his car.
"I don't anymore," he said, laughing. "Maybe I should."
Caldwell said that sometimes when the two are riding in a vehicle together, they spot a patrol car.
And they just look at each other and smile.

Paris To Ancaster
Paris to Ancaster. P2A. 60km of gravel, paved and dirt roads, rail trail and singletrack. A few weeks of sunshine, blue skies and dry weather before race day, which meant it was going to rain on race day. And did it ever. Weather in Paris, Ontario at 10am: 12 deg C, Winds at 7kmh from the south and rain! It made for some interesting conditions!
When I started out in the race my legs were asking me to please go easy. I've had an amazing two weeks of training. Awesome, and unexpectedly, fast track workouts. Some great rides too. By about 45k my legs were pretty fried. Between battling the soupy mud (I ran with my bike a lot yesterday, I have a bruise on my shoulder to prove it!) and the 'tiredness' in my legs I knew at some point I might 'bonk' (It was not helped much by the fact that you couldn't really eat on the ride; even on the gravel roads you had to pay attention. And how much mud was I expected to eat!). I have not 'hit the wall' like that in years; it was a a struggle to keep going but playing in the mud made it all the worthwhile.
I was ok with taking it 'easier' yesterday. I was a little disappointed in my result, but for a new rider who really has never done any XC riding, I was pleased that I finished when I did. My goal yesterday was to have fun. Goal met with great success!!
Downside to the day, unfortunately I lost my pink Oakley Flak Jackets today :(. Mega bummer since apparently they do not make that colour anymore, baby blue seems to be the closest I can get. I guess it also justifies me looking to buy a pair of jawbones! I'm thinking red and white to go with my MGCC kit and my Canada team kit for World's in September. Always an excuse to go shopping!
Thanks again to MGCC! Especially to my carpool buddies (RM, SH and AC). I provided some great entertainment when I couldn't find my pants. Too bad no one got a picture of me walking around in my MGCC jacket and a towel! Thanks to CLIF again for the yummy on road goodies I ate, all of them with a side of mud and sand.
Would I do P2A again? I came home scratched, bumped and bruised, coated in mud and would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Amy's Organic Beans & Rice Burrito
I have noticed that there are basically four different types of posts that I can do when it comes to vegan lunches. First, there's the lunch that requires recipes and some work in the kitchen, like the lunch that I had yesterday. Of course they're my favorite because who in the world doesn't like home cooked food? Plus, it provides a lot more variety and let's me try new things instead of just eating the same old stuff all of the time. Then there's the easier version of that where you still use your kitchen, but you fix something really easy, like sandwiches. A third option is to skip all of the work entirely and just go out and eat at a restaurant. This COULD be my favorite, if only there were more vegan choices here where I live, but there aren't, so that's just something I'll have to live with. And then there's the fourth type of lunch, like the one I brought today, which is basically no work on my part because it relies mostly on storebought, ready-made vegan food items.
I was looking through the freezer section of the "healthy" section of my local Kroger the other day. I was actually looking for that new version of the frozen Rice Crust Spinach Pizza from Amy's Kitchen that has the Follow Your Heart Vegan Gourmet Mozzarella on it (which they STILL do not have yet) when I stumbled on a whole bunch of different frozen burritos from Amy's. Some of them had cheese in them, but I did notice that a few of them said NON-DAIRY in big letters on them, so I picked them up and looked at the ingredients. Yipee! I love the way Amy's Kitchen labels their products and the way they list their ingredients with the header: INGREDIENTS: (VEGAN) [insert list of ingredients here]. I wish all companies just put the word vegan right there at the beginning so you don't have to spend 5 minutes trying to decipher what's in the stuff.
Anyway, I settled on the Organic Beans & Rice Burrito. I'm a little bit late posting in the blog today because I wanted to wait until AFTER I ate lunch to post so I could tell you what I thought about the burrito. Basically, it was really good. It was very simple, but good. It tasted like beans & rice were pretty much all that was in there. It was just as if I had spread a bunch of refried beans and some Spanish Rice on a tortilla and rolled it up. Nothing fancy, but nutritious and delicious. I could make something similar for practically nothing, but I wouldn't have all organic ingredients to assemble mine with, plus I would be missing out on the convenience factor. If I have time to make homemade burritos that's fine, but if I don't, then stuff like this can be a lifesaver. I also picked up one of their non-dairy Breakfast Burritos, which I haven't tried yet. I do remember that it had potatoes in it, but I can't remember what else. I'm planning on heating that up for breakfast one of these cold mornings.
Everything else in the lunchbox today is raw. I brought along some broccoli and some carrots, and since I didn't need a fork for today's lunch, I left it out and filled that side space with dessert, a Cherry Pie Larabar.
So that's really all there is to today's lunch. A prime example of a healthy vegan lunch that took all of 2 seconds to prepare thanks to the convenience of pre-packaged vegan foods. I really like all of the vegan Amy's Kitchen products that I have tried so far, mmmmmmm... especially the pot pies. Those are really good. Now if I could just find that dang vegan Spinach Pizza...
Thanks for coming by. See you on Friday!

Melissa's Shower
Last weekend was the baby shower for my friend, Melissa. She is pregnant with her second child, due in late June. I gave her the quilt I made recently of the baby animals. The morning was lovely--the hostesses, Kate S, Anne O. and Katie O, had the most incredible spread of quiches (including a smoked salmon one), sausage, rolls, scones, fruit....There was lovely music, decorations, yummy coffee and drinks....I could go on and on. It was a fun event to take pictures at because the light was wonderful and everything was so picturesque!! :)
Photos: Melissa and myself with her baby quilt!

Test image captured with a Nexus 5, the stock camera app with HDR+ in a darker setting.
Yesterday I spent some time with a friend of mine, Nathaniel Bryan (Nate) that recently Jumped (see T-Mobile) to a Nexus 6. His tastes in smartphone cameras are pretty high coming from Nokia Lumia devices but as Windows Phone seems to be in a state of confusion and uncertainty at times, Android support won out over continued Windows Phone support. But the Nexus 6 camera wasn't to his liking so I recommended the Manual Camera app mentioned in the Philly Car Show post, to get more control and better quality photos out of the device. We ran some tests between smartphones yesterday with the Nexus 5 by LG and the Nexus 6 by Motorola. The results were interesting and telling in terms of quality and overall ease of use. The Nexus 6 has potential but it's hamstrung sometimes by the lack of OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) in video (although it is present for photos) and a camera sensor that doesn't always perform like a 13MP (Mega Pixel) sensor is expected to. The Nexus 6 is also unstable running Android 5.0 which is very strange. Nate's device is plagued by random reboots whereas my Nexus 5 runs perfectly under the same version of Android.
*Android 5.0 supports RAW formats. Manual Camera can save photos captured as .jpgs and RAW format. I haven't been able to actually find the RAW files in the Android system. I've since contacted the developer to find out if I'm looking in the wrong place or if I'm misunderstanding how RAW implementation in Android 5.0 works. Once it's sorted, I'll update the info here.
The Nexus 5 is over a year old so OIS for video isn't present there either, but similar to the Nexus 6, it is available for photos. The device actually performs better at times than the advertised 8MP camera inside it. I've been using the Nexus 5 to capture photos and shoot video for nearly a year and a half. I know the device well and what it can do. The Nexus 6 is still fairly new and built by a different OEM, Motorola. But it shouldn't be THAT difficult to get a 13MP camera to perform well. But when the Nexus 6 camera does work, it's really good capturing detailed images with good color reproduction. The nuances of the camera in the device in combination with new camera APIs in Android 5.0 call for more exploration. Personally, I favor LG's Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 designs over Motorola's Nexus 6 design or even the ever popular Samsung Galaxy series. The Nexus 5 is a solid performer in general for a fantastic price ($350 new on Google Play, without a contract). But like most technology, the average users' photos aren't always a good indicator of this. Similar to how people seem to find amazing ways to capture the absolute worst photos with iPhones even though those devices have some of the best cameras available of any smartphone series.
Below are a series of photos captured using Manual Camera with various settings and the stock Android 5.0 Camera using regular settings and HDR+. Unfortunately I didn't get any of my friend's photos captured during the test for this blog entry but I do have a number of photos from previous tests he conducted using a LG-G3 as well as earlier tests of the Nexus 6.
*Please keep in mind, Nate's photos are compressed because they were originally sent through MMS for viewing purposes only. He's sending me the full resolution versions for the blog shortly. As soon as I receive them, I'll update the blog accordingly.
This two images below are a Low-Light test (dark environment without using a flash), captured by Nate using a Nexus 6 with the stock camera app. The first image was captured normally, no HDR. Notice how dark it is and the level of noise in the image. The second image was captured using HDR+ with the same lighting within the room. The result is much brighter with less noise. Nokia, now Windows Phone Lumia series still has the best low light performance of any smartphone I've seen but Android devices can do the job in a pinch, although less impressive than Lumia devices. The second image is better, but I like the first image because it has an atmosphere that reminds me of med lab in Aliens.
Another low light test captured by Nate using the LG camera app and a LG-G3.
City Hall captured by Nate using the LG camera app with a LG-G3.
This was captured with a friend's HTC M8 using the HTC camera app and manual focus.
This image below was captured yesterday using my Nexus 5 with the Manual Camera app. I adjusted the White Balance, F-stop and Focal Depth before taking the shot. I also used manual focus on the headphones.
This is the second image I captured using Manual Camera on the Nexus 5. I adjusted the White Balance even further as well as the F-stop and I made changes to the ISO. I used auto focus to test the results against the previous image that was manually focused.
This image was captured using the Nexus 5 with Manual Camera. This is one of the first images I captured using the app. I only adjusted the White Balance and F-stop with this image in combination with a manual focus.
This is the second take. I adjusted the F-stop and White Balance even more so. The result is a softer, darker image. This particular building was hard to photograph because it was overcast and the street is narrow stopping me from getting the angle I wanted. I'm still experimenting with "best practices" for given situations while using Manual Camera.
This is a Macro test using the Nexus 5 with HDR+ with the stock camera app. I'm still having problems with these types of shots mainly because the subject usually moves before I can get a good shot or I use Macro to get the shot at such a distance but lose clarity and sharpness in the process.
During a discussion with Nate about smartphone camera technology, I took this photo from my apartment using the stock camera app with a -1 F-stop on my Nexus 5. I set manual focus outside of the window to blur the blinds and better control the depth of field.
This image was captured using HDR+ with the same manual focus. Although the clarity is good, the scene is a bit too bright for me losing some of the richness of color of the original image which you can see in the grass and brick work of the buildings. Some prefer this image to the original though as HDR and its effects are very popular.
This is a "from the hip" shot of my friend Rayya's dog, Cara. She wasn't feeling well coming fresh from the vet and she was cold. Rayya had to carry her like a baby because Cara was too weak to walk. I pulled out my Nexus 5 and shot using full auto settings. Even though the pup was sick, Cara can be like a cat. If she thinks she'll get a belly rub, she becomes very animated, very fast.
This image and the one beneath it were captured with a Nexus 7 2013 using the stock camera app, 0 F-stop, manual focus. Tablets generally don't have good cameras. The Nexus 7's camera is basically the same 5MP camera that was in the Galaxy Nexus.
Our smartphone cameras are becoming more capable with each passing year. Even if a device has a less than stellar camera, with a bit of patience, practice and the right camera app, good results can still be achieved. I like texture and tone in my photographs so I tend to go one stop down and favor unique lighting and atmosphere. Nate is a big fan of ease of use, detail, clarity and superior Low Light performance. We all have our preferences in how we want to capture a scene and how we want it to look. The key is to find the best combination of hardware and software to suit your needs. Sometimes you have to ignore the specs and simply go with what you see in the results.
I like the Nexus 5 because it gives good results for a great price. The Nexus 6 is good but a bit unstable (also while being more expensive, almost twice the price of the Nexus 5). The camera is better than the Nexus 5's camera but a bit inconsistent at times.
The Nexus 7 2013 is only an option in a pinch. Otherwise, I wouldn't use it. It can capture a decent photo but sometimes, it's too much work to get a workable shot. I spent a lot of time using the Galaxy Nexus camera, a very similar camera to the Nexus 7, but it always felt like a purposefully stripped down camera as not to outshine the soon to be released Samsung Galaxy S3 which was due to launch a few months after the Galaxy Nexus. Don't even think about shooting video of any kind with the Nexus 7.
The LG-G3's camera is excellent. Easy to use, fast shutter speed and good low light performance. The G3 is one of the top 5 smartphones released in 2014 and it shows in part due to the camera. If I could have bought a G3 with stock Android on it for a better price, that would be my device of choice today.
A lot of people dislike the HTC M8's camera but it can give great results as seen in a number of Android Photography Communities on Google+. HTC uses a unique method in capturing photos that allow for high levels of detail with only a 4MP camera, called UltraPixel. I like the results of the M8 camera but many did not. As a result, HTC will use a standard camera in the M8 successor but the front facing camera will be a UltraPixel camera part. As I update my devices, I'll also update the photo test with Nate and anyone else who desires to join in and share their work. It's a great way to see how the technology and our skills evolve.

Brazil's interim government was rocked on Monday by the loss of one of its key figures, Planning Minister Romero Juca, who stepped aside amid accusations he had conspired to obstruct the country's biggest-ever corruption investigation.
Interim President Michel Temer was counting on Juca, a close confidant and experienced senator, to steer a budget bill through Congress to avoid a government shutdown next month.
However, a recording of his conversation with a suspect in the investigation threatened to stain the new, center-right administration, already unsettled by a series of policy reversals during its first week in office.

Yedlin: Alberta liquor retailer forced to defend its strategy
Locally grown Liquor Stores N.A., the largest publicly traded booze retailer in North America, is under siege from a Toronto-based activist investor.
PointNorth Capital, the fund backed by John Bitove, Barry Goldberg and Phil Evershed, is seeking to restructure Liquor Stores' business operations and replace six of the company's eight directors with its own nominees.
The proxy fight began to unfold last November, when PointNorth announced it had accumulated a 9.9 per cent stake in Liquor Stores. Subsequent meetings made clear the dissident shareholder's intent was to replace four or five directors.
The objective, as with all activist undertakings, is to take control, with the aim of adding shareholder value. The argument is that existing management has failed to do so.
The retail world in Alberta these days is no picnic, and that includes the recession-proof world of liquor sales.
PointNorth believes Edmonton-based Liquor Stores, which has 252 stores in Canada and the United States, is moving too slowly on its building renewal plan, with 140 outlets awaiting a facelift. It has also questioned the need for a U.S. office, contends the business has too many products and needs to improve efficiency. It also doesn't like Liquor Stores' strategy of warehousing the products it buys at low wholesale prices, which the company contends increases the profit margin on several mainstream brands.
Call it a physical hedging program.
It costs money to warehouse product and PointNorth would rather see a just-in-time inventory system in place. That, too, has its challenges and could lead to a lack of product on store shelves. Liquor Stores sees its breadth of product offerings as a key strength.
It's worth remembering Liquor Stores went public, as an income trust, in 2004 — during the heyday of income trusts — and when access to capital was easy. It converted to a corporation at the end of 2010.
Since 2004, its average annual total return to shareholders has been 8.4 per cent and its performance in 2016, despite its assets being concentrated in Alberta, translated into total returns to shareholders of 33 per cent — outperforming other Canadian and U.S. grocery retailers.
Being a trust meant it was a cash-generating machine and focused on maintaining distributions to shareholders. What the income trust model actively discouraged was re-investment in the business.
In the retail world, not re-investing in your storefronts or inventory management systems can come back to haunt you. And these days, it's more complex than ever — requiring an understanding of real estate, information and inventory systems and consumer spending patterns. The list of ingredients driving profitability is long.
The board slate proposed by PointNorth includes two members with no experience as directors of publicly traded companies. Two other nominees have experience in the retail liquor business, but it in the regulated environment of the Maritimes.
Alberta became the first province to privatize the liquor business, in 1993. Liquor Stores' chairman, Jim Dinning, was the province's treasurer at the time.
Privatization has resulted in a significant amount of expertise operating in what has become a very competitive market for liquor sales. Outside Alberta, there is a fair bit of envy when it comes to both price and choice. And while B.C. has eased government control of liquor sales, it's still behind Alberta.
PointNorth, being based in Ontario, doesn't necessarily see that on a daily basis.
Its plan to woo shareholders would decrease store selection, decrease staffing and eliminate the ability to buy bulk at discount prices and warehouse the products, Liquor Stores asserts. PointNorth would also decrease the private label aspect of Liquor Stores, a retail element known to boost profit margins.
Another factor is that 70 per cent of the company's stores are in Alberta, where it's been a tough economy since 2014 — even for liquor sales. The company's share price history has mirrored the downturn fairly closely, yet its return to shareholders — since the bottom fell out of the oil market — is almost 8 per cent.
Has the current board and management done everything right? Unlikely.
That's why, in response to PointNorth's overtures, Liquor Stores said in April that it would be willing to accept two board nominees and avoid a nasty proxy battle. PointNorth declined.
And, as investment firm Cormark Securities cited in a recent report, elements of PointNorth's proposal make sense, such as reducing inventory, continuing to renovate the stores and decreasing staffing costs.
What doesn't make sense are PointNorth's recommendation to eliminate the revenue generating potential of growing the private label offering — which Cormark estimates could boost gross margins between 60 and 70 per cent — and the ability to warehouse product, which costs 1.5 per cent but reduces the cost of goods sold by 10 per cent. That's an 8.5 per cent differential to the upside.
The shareholder vote is scheduled for June 20. The right answer in all of this likely lies in looking for key leverage points within the existing business plan, rather than blowing it up entirely.
The bottom line is this: There isn't a company that can point to their success being directly tied to aggressively cutting costs. You can't cut your way to prosperity. At some point you can no longer deliver what your customers expect and they go elsewhere.
For that reason, the full PointNorth plan doesn't add up.

News : Over 40 Australian Startups and Global Providers Launch TechSydney
Sydney, Australia, May 17, 2016 -- Airbnb, Amazon, Atlassian, and Uber have joined forces with over 40 Australian startups, global tech giants, and entrepreneurs in yet another attempt to convert Sydney into Australia's Silicon Valley.
The not-for-profit group, TechSydney, said it will work to address what it considers is the greatest challenge for Sydney's innovation ecosystem -- collaboration.
The idea came from Dean McEvoy, who launched the now Yahoo-owned Spreets and will oversee TechSydney as CEO; Mick Liubinskas from Telstra-backed incubator muru-D; 25fifteen's founding partner Kim Heras; Riley Batchelor from cleaning startup Tidy Me; and OneShift's founder Gen George.
"Recent moves from all levels of government to support our startup and technology sector have been heartening, but we can't rely on them to carry it forward," McEvoy said. "By working together, we will drive the initiatives that will turn Sydney into a world class, top 10 hub for technology companies."
Despite efforts from major tech companies as well as state and federal government intervention, the consortium said Sydney's global startup ecosystem ranking slipped from 12 in 2012 down to 16 in 2015.
It also said it became apparent that while all of these groups were working towards a common goal, they tackled it in isolation, which limited their impact and ability to change the sector for the better.
Heras believes there is a real threat to the Australian economy if significant action in unison does not occur.
"TechSydney is a really important initiative bringing key voices in the Sydney technology ecosystem into the national conversation. Efforts like this around the country are essential to building a globally competitive national framework in Australia," he said.
"For the first time there is a common understanding of that threat with every part of the Sydney tech industry committed to doing something about it -- starting with the creation of TechSydney."
TechSydney said it intends to create a hub for Australia's startups and high growth technology companies and work to promote this as a viable career path for those yet to take the leap, with a focus on encouraging women to get involved.
In order to achieve these goals, the group hopes to serve as an organising body and a central point of contact for all initiatives relating to Sydney's high growth technology sector, and bring together the best in the industry so they can learn from each other and address the common issues via advocacy to government and implementation of initiatives.
The consortium also wants to promote both Sydney and Australia's startups and high growth technology companies locally and abroad and attract world-class technology talent down under.
George, founder of job matching startup OneShift, said Sydney has a lot of potential to be a serious competitor as a global startup ecosystem ranker.
"On the back of the release of the innovation statement by the federal government, we have seen so many positive conversations happening to create more accessibility and visibility to the national ecosystem," George said.
"However, in true entrepreneurial style, the Sydney Startup community knows if we want to have a fighting chance of being in the top 10 globally, we need to connect all the stakeholders from universities, incubators, investors, startups, small businesses, corporates to truly drive this from the ground up."
Unveiled in December, the federal government's National Innovation and Science Agenda covers over 20 measures centred on its "Ideas Boom" rhetoric, which Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull believes will incentivise innovation and entrepreneurship, reward risk taking, and promote science, maths, and computing in schools.
At the time, the Australian startup community in large praised the initiative, with StartupAUS former CEO Peter Bradd congratulating the government, saying at the time it championed a lot of the recommendations that his advocacy group had previously made.
"It's a credit to the government that it has listened to the needs of its stakeholders on this topic. Startups have had a strong and consistent voice in this process -- and the result is that we are now seeing innovative, effective measures to boost jobs and growth," he said.
2018 Top Ranking Performers Present:
In the six months since the agenda was announced, the federal government has kicked off a number of its promised initiatives, including the startup landing pad initiative, confirming earlier this month that its fifth and final location would be Singapore.
The inaugural landing pad was unveiled in February, with the government selecting Silicon Valley's RocketSpace technology campus to kick off the initiative.
Tel Aviv was then announced as the second host city for the government-funded project; Shanghai was unveiled as the desired location for the third landing pad, and Berlin was revealed as the fourth location.
Each of the five landing pads will have its own locally engaged coordinator who the government said will bring their unique knowledge and experience to the table. It is expected that a tender for the five roles will be published soon.
According to the government, entrepreneurs accessing the landing pad will be assisted to commercialise their products and services through access to the expertise, infrastructure, innovation, and marketing networks of local partners.

Hello all, hope your week is starting off well! I know I've been doing a lot of Product Reviews lately, but I've been trying out some new products and I don't want to put off sharing with you all just for the sake of changing up the themes in my blog. I do have some autumn-inspired ideas coming up soon, but until then, I can't wait to share these products with you (including the underappreciated and over-hyped). Now let's get into this…
I'm sure you've also heard just about every blogger rave about Smashbox's foundation primers. That's why as soon as I had a good chunk of change built up to spend on some beauty products, I knew this seemingly coveted product had to be in my haul.
Photo Finish Foundation Primer | Smashbox
Some Amazing Things
A Little Goes A Long Way. If this isn't the first post of mine you've seen, then you know it's no surprise that this is one of my favorite qualities in a product. I have always, and will always, rave about a product that has that "little goes a long way" element. I wasn't sure if I was going to like this product as much as everyone else has, so I bought the travel size (a tip that I recommend to anyone trying out a new product), and it's really lasted me a long time.
Pore Minimizing. I'm not exactly sure this is what they mean by "photo finish", but I definitely notice a different in the texture of my skin after application. I never really consider myself to have a very "porous" face, but it definitely smooth things down a bit.
Greasy. Yes, I know it very clearly states "oil free" on the packaging. So therefore, technically, it cannot be greasy. However, whenever I apply this to my face, it feels so greasy to me. I feel like it is just clogging my pores (maybe that's how it smooths them out…). I just can't get over the feeling that it's leaving a shiny film on my skin.
Doesn't Hold Onto Makeup. So I feel like I worded that one a little oddly, however, I really don't feel like this primer does anything in the way of adhering makeup to your skin (aka, what primers are supposed to do). I thought my makeup wasn't lasting as long as it used to, but it wasn't until I ran out of my beloved Urban Decay Setting Spray that I realized it was due to the primer. As soon as I stopped using the setting spray, I saw a drastic difference in the lasting power of my makeup. (More than before I started using the setting spray at the beginning of the year). I was very disappointed to find this theory to be true upon switching my primer back to my old one.
Unfortunately, I really think this product is over-hyped. I've loved some Smashbox products in the past, so I have nothing against the brand, but I was expecting so much more from a product coveted by so many beauty bloggers. Maybe it's just personal preference, but I wouldn't recommend this product to someone. There are so many other great primers out there (including a fabulous one from Pixi), that I think they'd be much better suited for your primer needs than this one from Smashbox.
I'd love to hear from you! Have you tried the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer? What were your thoughts on the product? Or, what are some primers you really have been loving lately?
Hope you all have a great week! XOXO

The Buttermilk Falls State Park is a state recreational area and natural preserve in Ithaca, New York.
Named after the foaming cascade of buttermilk creek as it flows down through the buttermilk gorge, the Buttermilk Falls State Park is a popular state park that features the unique geography of the area and provides a glimpse on how these land and water formations have affected the local area.
The main attraction itself, Buttermilk Falls, is not the only draw of this popular park. The park features nine other waterfalls along the creek. The upper park has a small lake and the lower park features a beach, playing area, and picnic grounds among other amenities. Guided tours of the park and creek are available weekly from the 4th of July through to Labor Day.

text: We report for the first time on MBE growth, structural and optical properties of single layers, quantum well structures and short-period superlattices based on BexCd1-xSe ternary alloys on GaAs. Both the conventional MBE growth mode and the sub-monolayer digital alloying technique (SDA) have been employed for the fabrication of the structures. Compositional boundaries of an instability region 0.03 < x < 0.38, calculated in a regular solution approximation for the completely coherent system, agree well with available experimental data. A suppression of the phase separation in BeCdSe by elastic stress in the layer, accompanied by a strong reduction of the Cd incorporation coefficient has been found. Ultrathin 2.8 ML BeCdSe SDA QWs with x approx. 0.15 demonstrate about an order of magnitude increase in the PL intensity with respect to the pure CdSe one, probably resulting from an enhanced carrier localization efficiency. Eg as a function of the Be content reveals a strong bowing in optical data, which allows one to consider BeCdSe alloys with compositions nearly lattice-matched to GaAs as potential materials for the active region of blue-green lasers.

In the last quarter Stampin Up! had a recruit special going on. If we got a recruit then we got this Christmas Memory Box kit. Well, I got some recruits and I finally got my box put together. I followed the instructions but I could have made it any way that I wanted to. So here's the box. It's about 7 1/2 X 5 X 2". And I think that it turned out pretty good. Now I wish I had a couple more to do for Christmas presents. I'll have to look for some boxes somewhere.
Look at everything that was included with the kit. There's a big pearl adornment, buttons, vintage tag, a jar of glitter, the ribbon, card stock, DSP, a whole sheet of pearls and, of course, the stamp set.
Here's a close up of the top. There' three, ah, what-cha-ma-callit's. I can't think of the right word. The one on the left is just lace ribbon with a thread run through it and pulled up tight. The middle one is three scallop circles, adhered together and then crumpled up. The one on the right is just a strip of material that is adhered to the middle of a circle of card stock, then twist and adhere to the circle. Then attached the circle to a scallop of the material. ROSETTES!! That's the word that I was trying to think of. See the green circle in the middle? That's called a lolly and it's super simple to make the with Simply Scoring tool. When I finished my box the instructions said to spray with adhesive and then add glitter but I decided to just use some Smooch ink in a spray bottle with some rubbing alcohol.
Then I spent about an hour fiddling with the software program for my new camera. Still don't have it figured out but it's getting easier. Then I spent about half an hour on the phone trying to get my sister's new cell phone activated. Still not sure that it's working right.

BRISTOL Street Motors Ford in Birmingham has won the Lex Autolease fleet sales title Dealership of the Year.
The UK's largest contract hire provider, with a fleet of over 307,000 vehicles, presented the award at this year's Lex Autolease annual Supplier Focus Day, citing Bristol Street Motors' proactive approach to customer satisfaction and consistent excellent performance throughout 2015.
The supplier event takes place each year and provides the leasing firm with a chance to update the supply chain on Lex Autolease's current performance and future strategy. It also gives the suppliers a rare chance to meet colleagues, competitors and manufacturers all at a single event.
Brian Naughton, general manager Ford Fleet and Commercials in Birmingham, said: "We have had a fantastic working relationship with Lex Autolease for number of years. This year alone we have delivered over 850 new Ford vehicles with a number of high specification commercial vehicles and have consistently exceeded the target customer service satisfaction level set by Lex Autolease, so it's fantastic to have our hard work recognised.
"Ultimately we have won this award due to our team's commitment to customer service, which is always our number one priority when dealing with any customer, whether they are looking for one vehicle or thousands."
Janette Richardson, Lex Autolease senior manager purchasing and SMR, said: "This event is a great way to recognise our suppliers, and the key part they play in our business. We are extremely happy with Bristol Street Motors' consistent performance throughout the year, and look forward to continuing this relationship into 2016."

Have friends? Co-workers? Family members?
If you fall in love with a product or service you use, you're probably going to buzz about it. (I know we do!)
But did you know you can actually get paid to refer friends?
We scoured the internet and found 35 companies offering awesome referral rewards. If you take full advantage of these programs, you can easily bank thousands of dollars. But sometimes a crisp $5 bill is nice, too.
1. Dosh: $5
Dosh is a cold, hard cash-back app. When you spent money at a Dosh-affiliated retailer, you'll get a percentage of cash back. Perhaps it's 10% back from your local pizzeria. Or 3% back from Bed Bath & Beyond. When you refer a friend — and they connect their credit and/or debit card and redeem their first offer — you'll earn $5.
2. Airbnb: $20 Toward Travel
I'm so mad all of my friends use Airbnb already… maybe I need to make more? If you refer a friend who takes their first trip, spending $75 or more, you'll get an easy $20 toward your next adventure.
3. Acorns: Up to $100/Year
You've heard of Acorns, right? It's one of our favorite micro-investing apps. You can start investing your spare change with as little as $5. (Plus, you'll earn a $10 bonus when you sign up here.) Next, refer a friend to earn up to $100 in a calendar year.
4. Blooom: $10 Amazon Gift Card
Need some 401(k) guidance? Blooom is a robo-advisor that'll make sure your account is working hard for you. The hands-off service is $10 a month, but you don't even have to get your friends to sign up to get the $10 gift card. If they simply opt for the free 401(k) check-up, that Amazon card is yours!
5. Chime Bank: $25
Chime Bank is kind of the bank of all banks. It has no hidden fees, it can save you money automatically and it even delivers your paycheck early. When you refer a friend (tell 'em it only takes five minutes to sign up) who deposits $50 or more into the account, you'll snag $25.
6. Credible: $100 to $1,000
Credible refinances student loans, and the service has saved graduates a ton of money (like $50,000). If you've already used the service and you refer a friend who refinances a balance of $30,000 or more, you'll snag $1,000. For balances under $30,000, or for personal-loan referrals, you'll still get $100.
Note: This offer ends December 31, 2017.
7. HealthyWage: $20 (No Limit!)
This site pays you to lose weight (these women did it!). You place a bet on yourself and if you carry through, HealthyWage pays you. When you recommend a friend, it'll add $20 to your wager. So, for example, if you invite 100 friends who sign up, that's an additional $2,000 you can win if you meet your weight-loss goal.
Remember, the referral bonus is only available during the first three months of your HealthyWage challenge, so start hustlin'.
8. Lucktastic: 1,000 Tokens
Love scratch-off tickets a little too much? Lucktastic is a great free option. You can play scratch-offs right on your phone. When you refer a friend who downloads the app, you'll bank 1,000 tokens — good for all the spins.
9. JOANY: $25 (Unlimited)
JOANY is healthcare concierge service. Its employees help individuals find and compare plans, seek out doctors and navigate complicated medical bills. In order to best cater to its customers, it needs you to answer some HIPAA-protected survey questions — fewer than 50 — for $25. (Make sure you qualify here.)
Once you complete the survey, share your unique referral link. When a friend successfully completes the survey, you'll get another $25.
10. Lyft: A Free Ride
If you refer a new Lyft rider, once they take their first trip, you'll earn a free ride. Do note that this offer varies by location, so just check your Lyft app.
11. Uber: $5 Toward Your Next Ride
Uber offers two options: When you're a driver and refer a friend to start a new side gig, you can get rewarded. But if you're a passenger, you'll snag a $5 credit when you refer friends and they use your code before requesting their first trip.
12. MyPoints: 750 Points
If you haven't already, you'll want to sign up for MyPoints because you can earn a $10 Amazon gift card when you make your first purchase. Then refer your friends, because you can earn 725 points toward more gift cards when your friend makes a $20 purchase.
13. Ibotta: $5
The Ibotta app is an easy way to earn cash back for your purchases. You'll also earn money back when you refer a friend. Once your pal claims the $10 welcome bonus, you'll pocket $5. If you're not already a member, go ahead and join (for free) and snag that $10 welcome bonus for yourself.
14. Aspiration Summit Checking Account: $25 For Charity
This online-only bank account makes dealing with your finances a lot easier. The "no ATM fees" and "earn interest" aspects are nice, too.
If you have an Aspiration Summit Checking Account, refer a friend. Unfortunately, you won't personally bank extra money; however, Aspiration will donate $25 to the charity of your choice, which puts sweet karma on your side.
15. Decluttr: $10 (Up to $100)
It's exactly as it sounds: Decluttr is an online platform on which you can purge all your old media (CDs, DVDs, etc.) and electronics. When you gently remind your friend to clean out their childhood bedroom, you'll earn $10 after they complete their first order.
16. Ebates: $25
Whatever you do, before you go shopping, you better use Ebates. Users can get up to 15% cash back. And when you refer a friend, you can bank $25.
Note: This offer stands until Dec. 31, 2017.
17. Clink: $5
Clink is a super simple investing app. It basically does everything for you, and you need only $1 to start. Plus, when you refer a friend, Clink puts $5 in your account!
18. Drop: 1,000 Drop Points (or $1)
Drop is a fun, passive rewards app that rewards you for your purchases at its affiliated retailers, a few of which include Trader Joe's, Lyft, Starbucks and Target. When you refer a friend, you'll get 1,000 bonus Drop points, which equates to $1. If you have a lot of friends, you could earn up to $100.
19. Shopkick: 250 Kicks
Rewards apps are great, but many times they require you to spend money to make some back. Shopkick is different, though. You can earn "kicks" just by walking into a store. These kicks then translate to gift cards. For example, 6,500 kicks will get you a $25 Amazon gift card.
When one of your referrals signs up for Shopkick, you'll bank 250 bonus kicks. That's like walking into five Targets.
20. InboxDollars: 10% of Friends' Earnings
If you're into survey sites, you've probably heard of InboxDollars. You can get paid to take surveys, watch videos and play games. When you refer a friend who signs up, you'll earn 10% of their qualified earnings. Say they watch a video and earn $1. You'll get 10 cents.
21. GlassesUSA: $30 Toward Glasses
Eyecare isn't cheap, so any little bit helps. GlassesUSA offers (more) affordable frames and lenses, and when you recommend a friend who buys a pair, you'll get $30 toward your next purchase.
22. Achievement: 500 Points
When you download the Achievement app, it works passively to track your steps and activities, and it rewards you with points, which convert to dollars. Once you hit 10,000 points, you earn $10.
Help yourself reach that goal faster by referring friends (up to 20) and earning an extra 500 points without even leaving your couch.
Heads up: This is for a limited time only.
23. Clarity Money: $3
The free Clarity Money app helps you keep your finances in order. It'll even negotiate existing bills for you. Check it out for yourself if you haven't already.
Then, once you realize how much you love it, refer a friend. Once they sign up and link one account, both you and your friend will bank $3 in your Clarity savings account.
24. Qapital: $5 (No Limit)
Qapital is a fun banking app that helps you effortlessly save money. When you refer a friend who makes their first deposit, you'll both bank a $5 bonus.
25. Twigby: $20 Credit
Cell phone bills are way too expensive these days, so some folks have opted to save tons with discount wireless carrier Twigby. If you're already a customer, great. Go ahead and refer a friend so both of you will receive a $20 credit.
26. Groupon: $10 in Groupon Bucks
All right, Groupon has wacky deals sometimes, but you can find real gems (like pizza) and save a ton. When you refer a friend, you can bank $10 in Groupon bucks to spend on the next great deal you find.
27. The Honest Company: $20 Credit
Jessica Alba's sustainable products empire, The Honest Company, has a solid refer-a-friend program. Invite a friend, and bank $20 in your account for your next purchase. (This is perfect for moms!)
28. Sam's Club: $10 E-Gift Card
Are you a Sam's Club member? When you send a friend your unique referral link (found here), and they sign up, you'll collect a $10 e-gift card, and they'll collect a $20 e-gift card.
29. AAA: Refer a Friend for 20 AAA Dollars
Got AAA? You can help a friend out without changing their tire on the side of a highway by referring them to AAA. You'll get 20 AAA Dollars, which will go toward your card's renewal. Plus, you both can score awesome, unexpected discounts.
30. Chase Credit Cards: Varies
A lot of credit cards offer great refer-a-friend deals, especially Chase. I have the Chase Sapphire card, and when I refer a friend, I get 10,000 points, which is enough to cover a flight (depending on where I'm going). I can max out at five friends — or 50,000 points.
To find out if your Chase card offers a refer-a-friend bonus, enter your information here.
31. Hulu: $10 Visa Prepaid Card

33. Hotels.com: $50 Off
If you travel a lot, you know how expensive hotels can be. Hotels.com not only helps you save, but when you refer a friend (who then books a $200-plus stay), you'll also get $50 towards your next booking. Your friend will get $50 off, too.
34. Shipt: $10 For Groceries

35. Walmart Grocery: $10 Promo Code
