I am a huge fan of real shops; ones that you can go into and view the goods, talk to experts and then make a decision. This is my ideal and for certain purchases in my life I manage to achieve it.
When buying trophies for my sport club this was a route I tried several times with varying degrees of success. My main frustrations were lack of speed, particularly if my event was pressing. The difficulty was that, once I had found a good trophy shop, it was a 30 minute drive to get there and it involved making 2-3 trips for one order.
In 1999 we set up www.Silvertrophy.com as an online version of my ideal trophy shop. Back in '99 online shops were not the norm, but co-founder Rob Pearson and myself knew that online shopping was the future and it would be an ideal solution to solving the frustrations of purchasing engraved trophies.
So for those of you who are considering buying trophies online this year, instead of making the trip to your nearest trophy shop, you may like to consider the seven advantages of buying your trophy online with Silvertrophy.com.
- Range of trophies – our range is huge and growing every year. We sell only trophies and awards we know about & believe in. If you need a printed catalogue of our range, just get in touch, we will send one out free of charge.
- Choosing your trophy - our Website has excellent images, we make them large and clear. We are adding videos of as many products as possible with the aim of making it easier to select the products you need.
- Engraving - we are experts in all aspects of engraving. We have one of the most experienced and advanced engraving departments in the UK. Using a wide variety of processes and machines we can engrave just about anything, including pictures onto your award. Company logos are no problem at all.
- Advice – we off expert, friendly and free advice on any aspect of buying your awards. So, if you have been tasked with the job of buying trophies & awards for an event and don't know where to start, or just need to check a few details on products or engraving, give us a call.
- Speed of delivery - our standard delivery of engraved trophies is 3-5 days, but if you need it sooner to meet a deadline then just drop us a line and we can often get engraved awards dispatched the same day or next day. We are here to help you make a success of your award ceremony.
- Confidence - our customers come to us event after event because they know they can rely on our staff treating their order with the care it deserves. We value each and every trophy order, giving attention to detail at every stage.
- Delivery of your trophies - the last part of the process gets as much attention as every other part. To have awards arrive damaged would be a disaster. Our expert packers pack every order with protection in mind. So expect a large box, no matter what you have ordered. We use only very reputable couriers to be trusted with your package. We email or text you to let you know when it has shipped, and approximately at what time it will arrive.
We are experts in trophies and awards and like nothing more than helping our customers so please give us a call on 01922 862431

Seven-year-old Angela Goen has an ambitious goal, one she will work toward for nearly three months.
"I want to sell 200 boxes of cookies," Angela said.
Angela is a Brownie Girl Scout working to raise money for her council and troop. She will go door-to-door from Jan. 22 to March 13 asking neighbors, friends and strangers to buy a box of cookies.
Angela exceeded her goal of 75 boxes last year, and her mother, Cammie Goen, said she noticed that some people couldn't resist a cute little girl selling sweets.
But the annual Girl Scout cookie sale requires more than cute kids and irresistible cookies.
Joining Angela is a team of hundreds of volunteers, troop leaders and sales managers who go through weeks of training to ensure the cookie sale is successful.
Cookie managers are volunteers who oversee multiple troops. The volunteers help to organize the cookie sale and make sure the troop leaders turn in all their paperwork on time, said Trish Rusch, a cookie manager for 37 troops. This year's cookie managers have been training and preparing since December.
In previous years, cookie managers held training sessions for the troops they were managing, Rush said. But this year, all troop leaders in Sedgwick County will be trained at the same time.

Sneaker Sighting is a column dedicated to highlighting celebrities wearing classic or currently popular sneakers. Artists, actors, and athletes; SneakerTalk has it all covered.
While arriving at the John F. Kennedy International Airport last month with his girlfriend Kylie Jenner, Cali rapper Tyga was spotted in a fresh black pair of Supreme X Air Jordan 5′s with a suit to match. The collaboration sneaker between the street wear icon and Jordan dropped in October in three colorways including white and camouflage. Grabbing any pair of Supreme X Air Jordan 5′s will be hard to find as they were released as a limited edition and to add insult and injury. the black colorway is the rarest of the trio. Try your luck via eBay or try various online sneaker spots.

What was 2016 really like for engineering?
You know, last year did have its good bits.
Right now, the global political landscape – President-elect Donald Trump, Brexit, South Korea's latest corruption scandal – is dominating commercial 'sentiment'. There is no setting that aside, particularly with the potential for further international upheaval in 2017, as elections loom in Germany, France and the Netherlands.
Then, there were several significantly awkward moments for major US technology players. Yahoo finally found a buyer in Verizon but almost immediately afterwards had to acknowledge a massive hack of user data. Facebook was drawn into the 'fake news' controversy and, although it is now seeking to address the problem, lost some of its luster. And the general consensus is that Apple, still the world's biggest technology company, is stuck in an innovative rut notwithstanding the success of the iPhone 7.
But, not to sound too Pollyanna-ish, things did look a lot healthier on the design side.
In another huge year for M&A, two deals stood out as showing that there are companies willing to make huge bets on emerging markets.
In the UK, ARM was acquired by Japan's Softbank for £24bn in August regardless of the earlier Brexit vote. Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son was clear that he thinks the deal will pay off as ARM expands from its base in mobile to dominate the Internet of Things (IoT).
In the US, the most eye-catching deal was Qualcomm's still-to-complete $39bn (£31bn) acquisition of NXP Semiconductors, which also today includes the Freescale Semiconductor operation spun out of Motorola. Not only will this be the biggest-ever silicon acquisition, it again shows a muscular mobile player looking to add expertise in both the IoT and automotive sectors (NXP is already the automotive semiconductor market leader).
Apart from these, it's clear that the high-end electronics market is continuing to consolidate generally and, interestingly, also attracting outside players to dip into it (for example here, 'Big 3' EDA vendor Mentor Graphics is the subject of another agreed but not yet completed bid from Siemens, worth $4.5bn).
Then, what about the start-up end of the business, often seen as the lifeblood of engineering innovation? This does remain much quieter than a decade ago and some only recently hot markets are now considered closed. A good example of that is augmented and virtual reality: 2016 saw these reach the consumer thanks to such innovations as the HTC Vive and Pokemon Go and are now dominated by giants (notably Sony, Microsoft and the Facebook-owned Oculus).
But machine learning and good old mil/aero reputedly remain very healthy. The former is arguably more of a software play, but the latter is taking some interesting twists.
Concerned that mainstream Silicon Valley innovation today has more of an eye on the consumer than the military as a driver of cutting-edge, highly specified products, the big defence contractors are looking to bring more silicon design work back in-house or at least closer to them.
A case in point is Lockheed Martin. Earlier this year it established a $100m corporate venturing fund and has just closed its first investment, IQ-Analog, a San Diego company working on products that could be used for high performance sensors.
Chris Moran, GM of Lockheed Martin Ventures, told the Wall Street Journal the goal of his fund is to either seed the growth of future suppliers or perhaps ultimately acquire them. The strategy is in line with one being promoted by the US Department of Defence.
And, showing that it's an ill wind and all that, cybersecurity also continues to attract serious funding for obvious reasons.
It's not all doom. But mention of the US government does bring us back to Donald Trump.
Even those deals announced since the US election were undoubtedly being negotiated well before it. The nigh-on universal assumption was that Hillary Clinton would win and that the business landscape would remain much the same as under the Obama administration.
All that is now up in the air.
Is the US heading for a trade war with China? What will be the impact of the repudiation or renegotiation of existing and ongoing trade agreements? What punitive measures might Trump enact against an uncooperative technology sector? Those are just three of the many important unanswered questions hovering over the Donald.
There is the strong possibility that an already heavily globalised engineering industry could quickly workaround many aspects of its Trumpian 'worst possible scenario'. But excessive export tariffs and pseudo windfall taxes will not help.
Which brings us to the main takeaway. 2016 probably won't go down as a vintage year for technology, but it won't necessarily prove to have been that bad either. The problem we're all gnawing at is 2017.
The main issue is visibility. Just one calendar month before he is due to take the oath of office, Trump's detailed policy proposals remain as opaque as the Beijing smog. That is rendering many aspects of near-term corporate planning – not just in engineering – into ciggy-packet guesswork.
And engineering has never been much of a business for looking back anyway. But it does need to be able to look forward with some confidence.

The battle that began during the 2016 presidential campaign, and even before, continues to rage. There are interests that are deeply vested in the outcome of acrimonious negotiations, court cases, and executive orders. One the one hand, the safety of Americans and the integrity of our immigration laws are at stake. On the other hand, there are those who would benefit politically by opening the borders and offering amnesty to all.
President Trump put himself at the center of this during the campaign by championing secure borders complete with a wall, aggressive enforcement of our immigration laws, and deportation of illegal aliens. As this collides directly with efforts from the left to bring into the country and nurture illegals with the goal of eventually turning them into Democratic voters, sparks were sure to fly.
President Trump issued an executive order banning refugees from nations known to harbor and train terrorists from entering the country. The left claimed this represented illegal discrimination, sued, and won at the lower court level, preventing the ban from going into effect. Now the president has received a victory as the U.S. Supreme Court has ordered that the ban go back into effect. As a result, 25,000 refugees are barred from entering the country.
"The U.S. Supreme Court stayed a lower court ruling which narrowed enforcement of President Donald Trump's travel ban, handing the administration another victory on a signature immigration policy initiative.
"As a result of the order, some 25,000 refugees are temporarily barred from resettlement in the U.S.
"The dispute concerned the reach of the high court's June ruling, which allowed the president's order to take partial effect. Though the ruling allows the president to suspend the Department of State's refugee resettlement program for 120 days, it also provides that refugees with a 'bona fide' relationship to a person or entity in the U.S. be permitted entry."
As this case worked its way up the judicial system it looked as though the president was going to lose this one until it made it to the Supreme Court which reversed lower court rulings and put his travel ban back into effect.
It is absurd to think that the president cannot even temporarily ban individuals from other nations from entering our country. American citizens alone have the right to enter the U.S.A. No one else does. Entering the U.S. is a privilege we extend gladly to those who come in peace. All others should be banned.
This is not over yet, however as "[t]he justices will hear argument on the merits of the president's travel ban on Oct. 10."
Let's hope they sustain the ruling that allows the president to exercise his rightful authority to protect our citizens.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The nation`s poetry consultant is sitting, bright-eyed and prim, on a flowered love seat in the nation`s poetry room. The poetry room is right next to the nation`s poetry office, which is down an echoing hall past the Senate Page School.
Those unaware that the nation has a poetry office or a poetry consultant are apt to wonder: What is a poetry consultant? With whom does a poetry consultant consult? And why?

Once upon a time, seafood scared me. Staring at the piles of shrimp, mussels, and whole fish was intimidating as I tried to decide what to make for dinner. Ultimately, I would scoot myself about 10 feet over, right in front of the packaged chicken. SAFE.
Since then, my love for seafood eventually took over and I convinced myself to give home cooked fish, shrimp, and more a try. It's healthy, easy to make, and fast—the ultimate cooking trifecta. What's my secret? Go in with a gameplan.
Before I step foot in the grocery store, I know exactly what I want to make. Then I think about what I have at home. And then, I go to the store. This saves me from being overwhelmed and confused about what to buy. Now, I end up with ingredients for an actual meal, instead of a basket full of kale, cereal, and ice cream.
This Panko-Crusted Baked Tilapia recipe is so legit for those busy weeknights you crave a healthy, home-cooked dinner. And your trip to the grocery store will be very quick since this ingredient list is pretty short! If tilapia isn't available, just ask. Anyone working the fish counter will be able to throw out some other options—Dover sole or snapper work well in this recipe too. We served our fish with a Persian salad made up of diced cucumber, tomato, and onion, all marinated in a lemon vinaigrette.
Similar to shake 'n bake style chicken, this fish is dipped in the egg, which acts like a glue. Then, the tilapia is coated in a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, and lemon zest. (Btw, we use paprika in our Shakshuka and Healthy Tuna Salad too.) You can never go wrong with lemon, herbs, and garlic when it comes to seafood. Just remember that and you'll be golden!
Try our easy baked tilapia recipe? Show us how it turned out by tagging your photo on Instagram using #confettikitchen!
What You Need
4 tilapia fillets
1 egg
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¾ cup panko bread crumbs
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
Zest from 1/2 a lemon
Kitchen Tools
Wire rack
2 shallow pans
1 baking sheet
Prep rack.
Remove a wire rack from your oven. Lightly grease the rack with non-stick cooking spray, or use a paper towel to rub with oil. This keeps the fish from sticking to it.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Prep mixes.
In a shallow dish, stir egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In another shallow dish, mix bread crumbs, garlic powder, paprika, lemon zest, and remaining salt and pepper.
Dip fish.
Pat tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel. One at a time, dip each fillet into the egg mixture followed by the dry mixture. Use your hands to pack the bread crumbs onto both sides of the fish.
Arrange the fish in a single layer on the rack.
Bake and serve!
Carefully place rack back into the oven, in the middle position. Place the large sheet pan on the rack below to collect any crumbs.
Bake for 18 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
In Action
Recipe notes
Why the rack? This helps air circulate below the fish, keeping the bottom crispy instead of soggy. The sheet pan under the rack collects any rogue crumbs.
|Don't have:
|Panko bread crumbs
|Plain bread crumbs
|Cayenne pepper for a kick!

The Final Journey by Kamerad Brian
Ultra luminous eyes stare unblinkingly, as the translucent electric blue body emerges from the organic machine which has held it captive for however long…..The face stares up, straight up, toward its final destination, its ultimate goal. Slowly the being pulls itself free of the lifeless prison that was once its 'Living' cell, incarcerated like a monkey in a zoo. It takes a huge amount of ethereric energy for the astral to completely separate itself from the fake origin, but this being has the strength of 100 men, and the insight of 1,000,000.
Upon separation, the Hyperborean floats for a few seconds, as if bidding farewell to the mechanical, technotronic prison which it has known as 'Home' for what seems like seconds now.
Now the journey begins, back to the source. Through endless emerald ether, onwards toward true Home, the Centre of all Things, the galactic Swastika – Heart of the Universe!

I laughed about the thing with Patrick.

Our long term goal is to identify and characterize the genes involved in the pathogenesis of keratoconus. Keratoconus is the most common corneal ectatic disorder with onset at puberty. It is characterized by progressive corneal thinning and protrusion of the thinned corneal, which leads to high myopia and irregular astigmatism. It is listed as a significant public health concern and a research priority by the National Institute of Health - National Eye Institute. Family and twin studies including linkage analyses indicate the genetic contribution to the pathogenesis of keratoconus. Mutations in the VSX1 gene and miR-184 have been identified, but only account for a small number of patients. The majority of genetic mutations in keratoconus remain to be identified. We hypothesize that mutations in coding regions account for most of the familial patients. In our preliminary studies, we already collected 22 multiplex families from Saudi Arabia with a high degree of consanguinity. All the patients were screened for mutations in the two known genes. We have performed whole exome sequencing in four patients from two families, filtered and prioritized variants to less than 50 candidates in both families.
In Aim 1, we will continue to perform whole exome sequencing in other families. We will perform homozygosity mapping using Illumina BeadChips, a powerful approach to mutation discovery in inbred populations. In addition to the families from Saudi Arabia, we will study multiplex families newly enrolled at Duke University Eye Center. We expect to collect 5-6 multiplex families and 40-50 sporadic patients per year through Duke Eye Center, from over 1,200 already diagnosed patients locally. We have a free monthly event """"""""Keratoconus Connection: Education Peer Group Session"""""""" with patients, which will further ensure the success of our clinical ascertainment.
In Aim 2, we will identify genetic mutations due to DNA copy number changes (i.e. genomic deletion or duplications) in these families. Our rationale is based on two lines of evidence. First deletions and duplications in a linkage locus- chr5q31 have been associated with keratoconus. Second, significantly increased prevalence of keratoconus in Down syndrome patients (three copies of chromosome 21) also indicates the role of DNA duplication. We will analyze data from Illumina BeadChips in Aim1 to examine DNA deletions and duplications. Family segregation as well as gene expression in human cornea will be used to prioritize the candidate DNA deletions and duplications. We will use Realtime PCR to validate the selected candidates. Mutations identified in Aim1 and Aim2 will be validated and replicated in a combined dataset with 140 multiplex families, 980 sporadic cases and 3700 examined controls. In summary, upon successful completion, we will identify genetic mutations in familial keratoconus, thus significantly improving our understanding of the disease and providing novel targets for diagnosis and treatment.
This project aims to identify the genetic mutations for the most common corneal disorder - keratoconus, using newly developed technology called whole exome sequencing and DNA copy number analysis. The identification of genetic mutations for keratoconus will significantly improve our understanding of its pathophysiology, and ultimately promote new treatments and development to prevent vision loss from this disease.

POSTED: 18 Jul 2013 | BY: CHRISTINE MURPHY
The associations of Mark Twain, one of America's greatest literary sons, with the South are so strong that it's surprising to learn that summers spent in New York were integral to the writing of his masterpieces. In 1870, Mark Twain -- real name Samuel Clemens -- married Olivia Langdon, a native of Elmira, in New York's Southern Tier. Though the couple lived in Buffalo and Hartford, Conn., for 20 years, Clemens and Langdon spent every summer in the peace of Olivia's sister's Elmira home. The residence, Quarry Farm, is located at the top of East Hill, which provides the geographic advantage of a stunning vista, removed from Elmira's downtown.
"Trolley into Twain Country" tour. This ride brings Clemens' biography to life, and also provides a glimpse into the history of Elmira itself, with stops at the aforementioned study (shown above) now located on the Elmira College campus, and a stop at Woodlawn Cemetery where Twain is buried. Tours are available only in July and August, so the time to schedule your visit is NOW. Check out the Mark Twain Trio Bracelet Set, which can be worn together or separately, reminds you to "Explore," "Dream" and "Discover."Quarry Farm is now the private property of Elmira College, which permits access to the estate only through special arrangement and for the College's visiting Twain scholars. Nevertheless, there are many other opportunities for the general public to cross paths with Clemens' Elmira experience. The most convenient option is to join a

This recipe was another spontaneous bake, I was going to make a chocolate mousse but I needed egg whites. So I decided to make some eggless brownies instead.
Dark chocolate… healthy or not? It's treated like Marmite sometimes, whether you love or hate it. Dark chocolate can help with iron levels and metabolism, but it's just about not eating too much of it.
Recently I have seen other food bloggers and foodies on Pinterest and Instagram make Mug Cakes. I had a search around for the best mug cake recipes, and found a few that I liked the look of.
Bake Off is sadly drawing to a close, but do you remember the first episode where they made Jaffa Cakes in the technical? I have had a crack at making Jaffa Cakes, and they turned out pretty well! Probably because I use
For my Dad's birthday this year I made an adaptation of BBC Good Food's Cookies and Cream Cake.
This is probably the easiest thing you are ever going to bake. These are 3 ingredient Nutella brownies that everyone will love.
So after Easter chocolate seems to be a main priority, especially if you're a kid.
Hey, I have been a little sceptical about trying to make homemade doughnuts, because in my head they seemed quite difficult to make plus it always seemed like you need a deep fryer to get doughnuts just right.
This is a mouthwatering peanut butter and milk chocolate mix, that all of my family loved. This recipe makes eight-ten slices that are completely worth the time spent on them.
This chocolate tart recipe is in Jamie Oliver's 'How to make you a better cook' recipe book. I have put my own twist on it by using a mixture of dark, and milk chocolate.

Famed photojournalist and founder of Magnum Photos, Robert Capa was primarily known for his black-and-white images. But after World War II he turned increasingly to Color, fulfilling assignments for a variety of popular magazines such as Life and Holiday.
Capa first worked with color in 1938, about two years after Kodachrome, the first color roll film developed by Kodak, was introduced. Already famous for his photographs of the Spanish Civil War, he was working in China covering the second Sino-Japanese War.
Four of Capa's color images of the burning of Hankou (now part of Wuhan) after the Japanese raids in July 1938 were published in Life magazine. No other color images from that tour survive, however, and Capa only began shooting regularly in color in 1941.
Some of the earliest photographs are of British and American soldiers during World War II, mostly at rest or leisure. A wonderful picture of British soldiers watching a boxing match, shot from above on a troop ship from England to North Africa in 1943, is here. But Capa's war photographs in color have rarely been published or shown until now.
Sometimes color processing took too long for the magazines publishing his work. But there were other issues. During the '40s, Capa traveled to Sun Valley, Idaho, and photographed Ernest Hemingway and his sons along with Martha Gellhorn, the war correspondent and Hemingway's third wife. The color photographs show the sandy landscape of Idaho and the Hemingways in their hunting gear. But Life then printed only black-and-white photos.
Similarly, color photographs of Pablo Picasso with the artist Françoise Gilot and their son, Claude, on the beach in the South of France. Despite Capa's insistence on payment for both black-and-white and color photographs, a wall label tells us that Look and Illustrated magazines "were disappointed with the color images," and published only the black-and-white ones.
If only black and white was suitable for war and serious artists, Capa found greater success with his color images of resorts and leisure subjects. One section here is devoted to skiing in the Swiss and Austrian Alps, which Capa did to relax and recuperate between assignments. A wall text describes color photography's ability to provide "the additional elements of glitter and humor that black and white often missed."
Other photographs of postwar Paris with spectators at the Longchamp racetrack, fashion models, people sitting in cafes or the Dutch painter Karel Appel in his studio painting with his fingers "on lively, much-admired semi-abstractions," as the Holiday magazine layout describes it.
Color, you start to realize, was also particularly suitable for women. In addition to fashion models, glamorous women at ski resorts or on the beach in Biarritz, a 1952 all-color spread in Holiday features "a day with a pretty American actress, Gloria Stroock, as she does what every woman wants to do in Rome." Which is shop for clothes and shoes, of course.
The last color images here were taken of the French Indochina War, which Capa was covering for Life. While on assignment in Vietnam, in May 1954, he stepped on a land mine and died. These are among his strongest war photographs but they weren't published at the time. Black and white remained the standard for war photography as well as art. Color during Capa's period was still for commerce, amateurs, leisure — and women.

Obsessive Wrigley Renovation Watch: No Update, Just Love
There is nothing new to report on the renovation front, so if you're tuning in for the latest, this ain't it. Presently, all eyes are on the July 10 Landmarks Commission meeting.
Instead, I just wanted to share something Josh Noel wrote recently for the Tribune about Wrigley Field, as it is one of the best things I've read recently about the fabled ballpark. Noel's piece extols the virtues of the historic park, while leaving room for the necessary renovations that are to come.
This is just a fantastic selection:
History is one of the few commodities that can't be bought or sold, and Wrigley has earned it, year-by-year, loss-by-loss, heartbreak-by-heartbreak. It is a nearly timeless world where our grandparents watched the Cubs and where Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and Wille Mays all played ball. Other teams would buy that kind of lore if they could. They can't. But fans can, and it's part of the reason that Wrigley is one of the city's top tourism draws.
Stadiums will continue to evolve and improve in the decades to come, but those decades will also make a properly-renovated Wrigley Field even more valuable.
In just a few sentences, Noel perfectly sums up – from both sentimental and financial perspectives – why preserving and renovating Wrigley Field is so critically important. Read Noel's full piece here.
Wrigley Field has become things – valuable, wonderful things – that cannot be recreated anywhere else. Even as the Cubs head to Fenway Park tonight, I am reminded that it's OK to feel like Wrigley Field is something more than just a place where the Chicago Cubs play baseball games. Loving Wrigley Field doesn't mean you love the Cubs any less.
And I'm also reminded, not that a reminder was necessary, why I spend so much time obsessing about the present and future of this beautiful baseball stadium.

The Professional Options of A Tooth Hygienist and Projected Earnings
The yearly salary of a dental hygienist may differ in accordance with experience, despite U . S . Department of Labor statistics which report an annual median salary of $68,250 each year. Generating around $74,000 per year, a dental hygienist in NH earns the highest salary in this occupation.
Idaho, Utah and Maine are states that will pay around the same annual salary of between $65,000 and $67,000. Paying the smallest salary for a dental hygienist in 2008 is the state of Michigan. Dental hygienists function principally in dental office groups as well as a doctor's office. Employment services, and medical hospitals are the industries that employ the very best amount of dental hygienists. Of such industries, outpatient care centers typically give the a paycheck of $68,980 which is the largest.
Again, these figures are certainly not according to years of experience or quantity of hours worked each week. Making $93,000 each and every year are 90% of experienced dental hygienists.
Dental hygienist salary is such a wide field of study, and you do have to determine which of the overall parts of the puzzle are more relevant to you. But in the final analysis you are the only individual who can correctly make that call. Yet you do understand there is much more to be found out about this. The final half of the article will offer you a lot more solid info about this. Even following what is next, we will not stop there because the best is yet to come.
With respect to the state the duties that a dental hygienist does may be different. In many instances, a few of their duties includes teaching patients oral hygiene, providing preventive dental hygiene, examination of patient gums and teeth and recording oral conditions and cleaning teeth.
Administering local anesthetics, filling procedures, and removing stitches are permitted in certain states, but in most this is often reserved for the dentist.
The flexible arranging in this profession is appealing to many individuals. Some work full or part-time and various work shifts throughout the week.
Since many dental offices hire hygienist on a part time basis, often a couple days every week, this allows them to work at other jobs or pursue educational or other goals
Someone who wants to be a dental hygienist needs to take classes in chemistry, biology, and math. You will need to be licensed and complete high school and some college in order to be a dental hygienist.
While some specifications may for dental hygiene programs can vary from state to state, a degree from an approved dental hygiene school along with a state license is required to practice as a dental hygienist.
Given that they will constantly be in contact with dentists, patients, and their families a dental hygienist has to be able to get along with other people. Good conversation skills and a likeable personality are good traits to possess as well.
Hygienists will need to possess good manual dexterity since they're required to use sometimes sensitive and sharp dental instruments in the mouths of patients.
Dental hygienist job opportunity have been increasing in the past couple of years caused by the life a dental hygienist could have. Find out more with regards to the profession, wages and even life of turning out to be a dental hygienist.
During 1951, the training course for dental hygienists was only being executed at the University of Toronto; and purely females have been allowed to get the training course. Safety gloves as well as face masks are not so typical in those days as well as contamination control was not so properly applied. However, the dental business has progressed into a lot more perfect as well as secured process which has made the job far more guaranteeing than in the past. The extent of exercise of a dental hygienist has increased so they are capable of doing a number of jobs aside from becoming a dentist's helper.
A dental hygienist is a carrier of dental care who functions together with the dentist. The obligations of a dental hygienist can include eliminating plaques, growth as well as finishing the teeth to stop illnesses of the teeth, supply treatments and also local modern-day anesthesia, and others. They could additionally market high-quality dental well-being by boasting as well as executing enduring insights throughout their classes.
How much does a dental hygienist make? A dental hygienist salary could total £20, 700-£26, 800 each year; this can even further escalate between £33, 500 as well as £39, 300 according to the practitioner's efficiency. The functioning periods of a dental hygienist may start out at about 7-8 hours, or it can as well be within an on-call schedule. Training in society companies will normally demand them to journey into various health sites however they generally develop dental hygiene salary.
Continual professional advancement is normally obligated every five-years. Tooth Hygienists are anticipated to gain a hundred and fifty hours worth of training seminars so they can always keep their capabilities up-to-date. Except for training seminars, they could carried out this prerequisite by simply going to some training courses as well as group meetings.
The practical knowledge and even capabilities of a dental hygienist is not merely limited to the specialized aspect, instead, you must likewise possess a sociable and in addition understanding attitude when it comes to those they serve. They should also have the capacity to deal with the anxiousness of those they serve, and even a superb interest in their wellbeing. A steady hand could be necessary in carrying out particular processes, and also they should constantly maintain attentiveness even though executing extended hours of work. They should also have a really good ability in connecting with several different customers, specifically throughout the time of patient teachings.
To be a dental hygienist is both equally gratifying and exhilarating also. The market on this career seems to be solid and even well known. The income is furthermore interesting than several other occupations. Since the field for oral health is estimated to increase at a quicker rate, the salaries are expected to remain its stableness even soon after three to four years.
Important Information About Skin Care Routines
When you really think about it, skincare information is something that can have a huge impact depending on the situation. So then what you simply must do is gather as many facts as possible and think about them. You never really know what can occur should you neglect certain details, criteria and other aspects. If you want to maximize your ROI, so to speak, then you need to seek out what kind of choices you have. We will offer you some exceptional and important details on proper skin care tips so you can carefully consider as much as possible.
If you have been experiencing frustration with your skin care routine, then maybe your methods are not meant for your skin type. That happens more than you realize. You need to start choosing methods and products that were created for your skin type. So if you have dry, oily, combination of dry and oily, sun damaged, or sensitive skin, then you can find the right way to take care of your skin. However, there are some very common mistakes that get made even by people who do everything else in the routine correctly.
We'll talk about a few proven skin care routines for each skin type.
If you've dealt with oily skin most of your life we know how frustrated you must be. We've all tried the tried and true methods to no avail only to eventually resort to super strength skin cleansers to remove every last drop of oil from our faces. Doing this can cause the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish, your oil glands may start to over produce more of the oil because your face is dried out from over cleansing.
The fact that you need to exfoliate your skin is no less important that cleansing or moisturizing your skin regularly. Your skin will have a glowing beautiful look to it after you complete this removal of dead skin cells from your face. If you aren't removing these dead cells regularly you are setting yourself up to an acne breakout. We recommend using a product that is natural for exfoliating dead skin cells to avoid any skin damage.
Dermatologists all over the world have agreed that a good sunscreen is the single most important part of any skin care routine. You are undoubtedly aware of the damaging effects of the sun if you get too much of it. Even people who are not habitual sunbathers can suffer from sun damage–it builds up over the course of a lifetime. Also, avoid thinking that going to a tanning salon gets you off the hook because it does not.
Don't be fooled by overcast days or weather during the winter months. Your face can still be harmed by UV rays because they are always present.
Good skin care is imperative no matter what kind of skin you have because all skin is susceptible to damage. A good beautician will tell you what kind of skin type you have if you do not already know. A beautician can recommend good skin care regimens but you need to be wary of being taken in by marketing tactics and sold things that you do not need. Once you have everything figured about, then you may need to try different products to see what works best.
These are the kinds of approaches that can be put to good usage as you see fit. Not all you find about skincare tips will be helpful all the time, and that is where your good groundwork will make a difference. It is less complicated than you think to read a specific thing that looks good, but it can be outdated. It can be easy to make an error when you are writing on the net. We will proceed and show you a few points you will want to understand.

Man with gun orders woman, hair stylist to the floor
Man with gun orders woman, hair stylist to the floor
DES MOINES, Iowa —
A Clive woman was having her hair done Sunday evening when a man with a gun came into the salon and ordered her and the hair stylist to the floor, a police report shows.
It was just after 8:30 p.m. when the man, carrying a black handgun walked into Confidence Hair and Beauty Company, 1601 East Grand Ave.
The women told police he told them to "Get down on the ground with your heads facing down."
The women said the white man was about 6 feet tall and 200 pounds, wearing a gray ski mask, brown work boots, blue jeans and a black hoodie. They said he grabbed their purses and ran out the door.
The case was referred to detectives and remains under investigation.

Why the Labour Leadership Matters
In the 1990s, when the Conservatives were 'unelectable,' Britain became the Labour party's oyster. Tony Blair was able to manipulate not just his own campaign for the premiership, but the future landscape of British politics. By May 2010, David Cameron, a young, energetic, reasonably popular Conservative politician, fighting against an exhausted and – for the most part – despised Labour Prime Minster was still forced to campaign on the issues dictated by Labour over a decade ago. Cameron made promises to protect, even increase, NHS and education spending. He even refused to make specific commitments on tax cuts to pay for it. Gay rights, a minority issue of relative obscurity in the 1990s, had become so important to the public by 2010 that it cost Chris Grayling his job.
Due to lack of opposition, Tony Blair was able to transform not just his own party, but everyone else's, too. So much so, that the Conservative Party's elected leader now has more in common with Nick Clegg than with many members of his own party.
On Question Time, when being fingered about the 'dodgy dossier' debacle, Alistair Campbell justified himself by saying: "Remember, we won an election after that." Well they, did, but several million of their voters deserted them, and voted for no-one else instead. Lifelong Labour supporters cancelled their membership. Even loyal party members like Robin Cook – not to mention less loyal party members, like Clare Short – resigned from their posts. One million people marched through London to demonstrate their outrage at the war. Yet the thunderous outrage of the public did not translate into votes for the Tories, nor, on any significant scale, for the Liberal Democrats. In other words, because there was no effective, credible opposition government, Alistair Campbell is able to claim a democratic mandate for a decision when there clearly was not one.
Governments, in order to govern well, need good opposition. It is because Labour were not afraid of the electorate, not because they were universally popular, that they have been able to knuckledust their way through policy-making over the past thirteen years.
Which raises the depressing question: what will Britain look like if we have five years of a Conservative government without any credible opposition at all?
For opposition to be credible, the government has to fear it. Only if David Cameron believes people will actually vote for the Labour leader will he govern to the best of his ability. Only then will he not be able to take the public for granted. If, on the other hand, the Labour leader is seen as 'unelectable', as unelectable as William Hague, Iain Duncan-Smith and Michael Howard all were, David Cameron and George Osborne will be able to claim – even as a minority government, who did not even win the election – a democratic mandate for anything they please. Just as Alistair Campbell is able to do.

…in India. Why is it acceptable for United States companies to build $40 billion worth of clean, safe, efficient nuclear energy in India but not Wisconsin? Because Wisconsin bans new nuclear plants like those we will build for India, we currently have no viable option, other than coal, for the new base-load energy required for economic growth.
"Base-load" power is running all the time. It's the reliable, consistent energy we need to run the hospitals, factories, farms and offices when the wind isn't blowing, the sun isn't shining and when natural gas is needed to heat our homes.
Regarding the Indian plan, The London Telegraph explains:
" India is desperate to increase its power generating capacity to fuel its growing economy."
With proposed federal Cap and Trade legislation written to make energy in coal dependent states much more expensive and an outdated nuclear moratorium preventing new nuclear plants, Wisconsin has fewer option to compete than we are giving India.
When India has clean, efficient, safe and reliable American built nuclear plants and Wisconsin has new regulatory costs for our coal generated base-load power, where will our jobs go?
The answer is not to stop India from having access to nuclear energy. The answer is to ensure Wisconsin has the same options for nuclear power that India has. We must overturn the Wisconsin Nuclear Moratorium.

Why Skype Business version might not Fly!
Today I came across an article about skype folder pollution, by Skype Numerology. At first, I could not believe what was in the article, 281 folders? What are those programmers at Skype thinking? May be they thought we all are 80 year old grandma's installing skype to call grand children? I think they rely too much on users need to use free calls to do any proper programming or thoughtful arrangement of folders on users computer. May be they too busy hiding what skype is!
Well I am sure, it will not fly with any admin in any respectful business or corporate will allow such pollution on client computers. Imagine the nightmare, if you have to remove Skype, I am sure there will be whole bunch of those left behind.
I have not installed the version 3.0 beta yet. But I will try to install it on one of my virtual machines. For now I have to rely on the information provided bu Skype Numerology.
At the same time SN provides some requests and solutions to the problem. But if I see 281 folders, there are no solutions other than Skype programmers get their act together. Once this information gets out, I would like to see how many network or sys admins will go ahead and install the Skype Business version.

Raglans // 15th October
Fallow Cafe in association With International Booking Presents;
TICKETS – http://www.seetickets.com/
Raglans have seen a tremendous rise in popularity since the release of their debut self-titled album in March 2014. Released to critical and commercial success both in the UK and Ireland – and debuting at No. 5 in the National Charts – the album was later released through Motor Entertainment Germany in April 2015 and has since gathered a huge amount of both college and national radio play.
Raglans have grown into an esteemed live act touring extensively across the UK and Europe and developing a strong and dedicated fan base through sold out headline shows and high profile support appearances with the likes of Haim, The Libertines, The Strypes, Twin Atlantic and The Fray. The Irish four-piece also have several major UK, EU and Australian festival appearances under their belt including Latitude, Hyde Park, Electric Picnic and Soundwave Festival to name a few.
2015 sees the band band on the road for their First European Headline dates as they begin work on the follow up, expected in 2016.

what I did yesterday. I set myself today a goal to finish the toolbar icons and controls.
I have to admit that yesterday after working all day on this skin I slowly started loosing motivation to finish it and that's exactly why I posted an article yesterday to get some support from you guys. So big thanks to everybody for your comments. I got back my spirit and motivation after reading your comments today in the morning.
So I will continue in a moment I just need to get something to drink.

Looking Good! Have you considered what fonts you'd like to use yet?
Life is a Game
on Apr 07, 2007
Thanks! I was thinking to just use the default font.

on Apr 07, 2007
It's 13:46 now and I have just finished all the controls and posting now screenshots from SkinStudio. As you can see there are still some details missing but I think it doesn't look that bad for my first skin in a days and a half work.

Looking Good Again
I suggest the following fonts, you would have to include it in the ZIP file that you publish so the user can install it manually:
> Segoe UI (Windows Vista User Interface Font)
> Zurich BT
> Humnst777
If you need any of these fonts then search them on Google. If you can't find them email me on [removed by admin] and I'll send them to you.
P.S. I Like the fact that you use orange instead of Blue. Looks good!

Thanks for the tip. I will use Segoe UI but first I want to finish all the graphics and set the fonts.

It's 21:43 and I will finish for today. I'm quite happy with today's progress. I completed the controls, toolbar icons and shut down/log off sections. So for tomorrow I have left the animations and special folders sections.

Right Wing Watch has a story on Brian Fischer of the American Family Association going off on one of his rants about Hillary Clinton being, potentially, the first woman and lesbian President of the United States.
Now, he refers to an interview in the Daily Mail Gennifer Flowers claims that Bill Clinton told her that Hillary was bisexual.
Source credibility aside, there is one giant flaw in logic here, that Right Wing Watch fails to address in their article. Being a bisexual woman does not a lesbian make. They are two distinctly different things. A lesbian is not bisexual, a bisexual woman may engage in lesbian relationships, but they are not, in any way, the same thing.

Fiber Roving Top Merino Silk 50 50 Velvet RAW TURQUOISE Top Hand Painted Blue Brown Green Wool Spin Felt Craft Roving 2 ounces
- Question? Contact the seller
Item details
My most popular colorway RAW TURQUOISE is now available on VELVET - my 50% Silk 50% Merino blend which is the perfect combination for supreme luxury and sheen.
This is gorgeous just like the rock itself in its natural raw state. I allow for a certain amount of marrying during the dyeing process so each individual roving is just a little bit different in the same colorway. Color ranges and degrees will be different EVERY time. These can vary dramatically and no two are ever alike, however if you order at the same time they will be from the same dye lot.
Get a little native with this one.
Ready to spin or perfect for felting and crafts.

Shipping & policies
Estimated Shipping
I ship first class or parcel post whichever is allowable and cheapest, we will bump up to priority occasionally, if its just a little bit more but if you specifically want regular priority - I now offer priority mail upgrades inside the US - so just select the priority upgrade This is for regular priority mail inside the US and includes a limited amount of insurance and tracking. If you would like insurance or tracking on regular non-priority shipments, or if you would like insurance for a larger purchase, please let me know and I can make a special listing that includes the cost of these services if applicable.
If you want express mail or expedited international shipping, please let me know and I can give you a special listing or add on invoice.
SHIPPING & ORDER PROCESSING - while I pride myself in super fast processing and shipping, my volume has increased to an extent that orders can currently take somewhere between 7-14 days for packing now because there are always orders waiting to be packed and postal shipping time will be on top of that . Please always keep in mind this is a working ranch with many animals to care for and I am the work part of it--so issues come up and the animals are my number one priority. I also attend some fiber fairs and festivals and other wool and fiber related venues so this keeps me hopping all the time, regardless I work as many hours as possible each day and seven days a week to get orders out as fast as I can.
Please rest assured that I will get your orders out as fast as physically possible, but during sales and at peak times, the demand is so high that it is impossible to get everything done same or next day now as in the olden days, so there is a wait as explained above.
Please be patient and allow additional time for international shipments, and don't' forget that your items have to get thru customs as well - this takes extra time on top of shipping and there is no time limit on customs processing in each country - they can take as long as they want to.
Also postal delivery has been EXTREMELY slow in the US the last few years - so allow extra time - also tracking is not always updated in a timely manner so don't rely on it.
We accept Paypal and US Postal Service Money Orders Only. No other brand of money orders will be accepted since my bank will no longer take them.
Returns & exchanges
- Custom or personalized orders
- Perishable products (like food or flowers)
- Digital downloads
- Intimate items (for health/hygiene reasons)
Absolutely no refunds or exchanges or store credit on custom orders or made to order items.
All shipping charges, taxes and fees including all international fees, vat tax or other state, local, city, county, region or country taxes, as well as custom charges, surcharges or fees that are a part of each individual country's postal system are the responsibility of the buyer.
Seller is not responsible for damage or lost items in the mail. If you wish to purchase insurance to safeguard your purchase in transit, please let me know and I will bill you separately for insurance coverage, if you have chosen priority mail upgrades, a limited amount of insurance is included, but if you want your entire purchase covered and its a large amount, please inquire about additional insurance. In the case of damage, all packaging must be retained by the buyer until inspected by the post office and the insurance claim is complete. FYI - Damaged goods in which insurance is claimed are seized by the post office at time of claim and package inspection and they are not returned, unless it is determined that the insurance does not cover the item/s.
Additional policies
We are always happy to do custom and special orders, please ask if you have something in mind.

Streaming Studio - Living Room (But with more video game/geek posters) - Kitchen
I placed my hands in my pocket thinking of the best way to break down my income,
I rocked back and forth on my heels while I waited for Michelle. I picked up the rest of the booze and started heading over to my place.
As we approached my own dwelling, I pulled my ring of keys out of my purse then checked the mail box.

Shit, was I going to have to go back and play through that game again? A good game never got old, dude. Like a favorite movie you could watch ten times and still be entertained. Man, I hadn't even been told how freakin awesome my neighbor would be when I bought this place. Come to think of it, my neighbors on either side. I was in fucking heaven. About half expected to have some bitch with the obligatory inverted bob who loved playing the sassy pants role, who'd forever bitch about my music. Although now I worried about it interfering with Lucina's videos. I'd have to make sure it didn't. If it was for someone cool, I'd make sacrifices. Then again, my room, anything that played music was on the opposite side of my condo. I'm sure we were good, right?
I don't care about the name as long as it's fully stocked, I nudged her with my elbow hoping her "bubble" wasn't super thick. I wasn't usually all up in peoples' space, but a friendly poke wasn't unheard of from me. Wait, you have a business degree? I took some classes, but never finished. I kinda…. Inherited a business. I didn't wanna do, uh, unfun stuff. I didn't wanna boring this shit up, but what a cool coincidence, dude. That's awesome. Totally following you as soon as I get home. Shit I definitely understood what she was saying, I only saw the light of day because, well, I was afraid to drive anymore. Short distances were fine, usually, but once I got further out of town and more towards the river and the mountains, I found certain temptations becoming more than pervasive. Steering the wheel toward the river and slamming the gas, driving toward the mountainside - fuck my life if I wasn't almost regretting buying a new car because if I wasn't careful I was going to wreck the motherfucker - on purpose.
Dude, didn't help that everyone in my guild started becoming complete assholes to anyone new. I loved certain aspects of WOW but the people who stuck with it always seemed to have this snob mentality, they constantly fought, it was almost worse than politics. I finally just realized it wasn't fun.
This girl looked shy, but the way she was talking, and the fact that she was brave enough to talk on Youtube vids, told otherwise. But she wasn't obnoxious about it, either, it was more like that feeling that you already knew her.
MMM baby, that shouldn't sound so… enticing. But I grinned cheesily so she knew I was joking. I wasn't screwing this up by taking off my clothes. Yeah, that's right, I was starting to learn. Not everyone was as chill about being "special friends" as Vincent and Caly were. Man, I'm going to see this tomorrow on Youtube and be like begging you to take it down. Don't. Do. It.
I easily felt at home at her place once we got in. Kicked off my sandals, not only to be polite but also because barefoot was way more comfy than these things that had straps threatening to dig into my foot. I looked around admiring every poster, every knick-knack.
Mess? Are you kidding me? Dude, at least hers wasn't two day old pizza just chillin' on the coffee table. I uh, lord if you think this is a mess, I might have to hire a maid before you come over to my place. It made me feel shit all the time, too, because it was a nice place and I kinda felt like I didn't deserve it. For the fact that I couldn't take care of it.
Homie, I can drink it hot, I can drink it cold. I can drink it new, I can drink it old. Was I already drunk? Spattering the cheesiest shit, wasn't even funny. Usually, I just drink it straight from the bottle. Might be nice to change that up, maybe I'll feel like less of an alcoholic. I placed the bag I'd carried on the counter and walked back to the living room, draping my hoodie over the back of the couch. Shit, now I was super curious about the bathroom. Was there like, a massive code brown in there? Was it cockroach city? Admittedly the bathroom in my old place was a mess. The fixtures were olive green which probably meant they were fifty years old. At least. I just tried not to think of how many other peoples' shit particles were still like stuck to that toilet.
Um, shit, yeah, dude. I'll be honest, not one hundred percent what a mai tai is. But sounds like good enough of a start as any. Yes, yes, start the drink, make sure I'm good and drunk before you turn that camera on. Fuck, I needed to wash my brain with soap because my mind kept hearing this shit as smut. If you get hungry, I'll make up for the booze spread by ordering some delivery. You like chinese? I'm kinda pizza'd out. I wasn't even drunk yet, and I was starting to get feels, not like, love feels. Feels like, this girl is too nice, to nice for someone who became such a shithead like me. She reminded me how down to earth I used to be.

Her cheesy smile caused one to sprawl across my lips after her comment,
What can I say, I'm just a player. That was a horrible pun, oh god what was I doing. I just kept hoping the words coming out of mouth kept coming out non-offensive and not weird. Oh trust me, you committed and verbally signed a fake contract that would not stand in court, so it will stay. I said with a small laugh, Don't worry, if there's anything incriminating I'll just edit it out, the next part I said under my breath slightly if I remember to that is. Like that one time I didn't realize the camera wasn't off and fell asleep on the couch in front of the TV while I played old Adventure Time episodes until a week after the fact. There was a good hour of me sleeping on that video too. Whoops. Oh don't feel that way! I had to clean up since I was kind of expecting company anyway. I was going to be so upset if all the cleaning I did was for nothing, but thankfully getting off my lazy butt paid off. See, they say you're an alcoholic if you drink alone, but technically you're never alone because the glass is always there for you. I said joking, I wasn't an alcoholic by any means, at least I didn't think of myself as one. Drinking weekly or bi weekly or however often I felt just made me more of an experienced drinker, right? It wasn't like I was waking up every morning and drinking more to make the hangover disappear or hiding alcohol at parties to make sure I would get some. Awesome! It's like a tropical beach explosion in your mouth. I grabbed two hurricane glasses from the cupboard above the sink,
and started pouring the different juices and liquor into the glasses, eyeing the 'correct' portions,
I really like these because, one they taste bomb, two they're pretty, and three they creep up on you in such a good way. Kind of like, 'yep everything is fine and grand let me get up, nope I can't I'm drunk, but everything is still awesome.' kind of way if that makes sense. It's almost effortless. I LOVE Chinese food. You have yourself a deal. I tossed in a straw and ac cherry and from a jar in my fridge for that extra fancy flair and handed Michelle one of the glasses while sipping out of my own. One hand crafted, fancy pants Mai Tai. Let me know what you think. Sometimes I believe I was a bartender in my last life, but then reality hits and I remember I can't make a Tom Collins to save my life. So you said you owned a business, inherited still counts of course, is it close in town, what kind of business is it? Usually when I tell people I have a business degree, they look at me like I'm such a fool and act like my own self and my internet presence wasn't like a business already Oh, see I thought of dropping out a few times, but some douchenozzle told me I couldn't do it, so I had to do it of course. After I walked across that stage I sent him a text with a picture of my degree and my middle finger. The salt was too real. I said with a laugh. When I signed up for business school I had no idea what I was doing. I had a full ride scholarship so I felt like I had to do something to make it worth their money. Plus there was just so much pressure from my parents and my teachers, I kind of caved and picked the one that looked most important. I was honestly happy that I was even accepted to a school so close to my parents.

My crooked smile didn't fade, in fact widened after a moment. Yeah, exactly as I said, like I already knew her.
Who am I kidding? I'll end up showing my all my friends. I leaned against the countertop and let my elbows rest on the surface, trying to make sure I was at an out of the way spot, watching the "bartender" at work. Sometimes the shitty thing is you're cleaning for company you know will leave the place worse than you found it. It wasn't often, but it did happen. Just not as much lately. Now I only had myself to blame for the old pizza boxes and half finished glasses everywhere. God, that's the actual perfect loophole. See, my neighbor on the other side - we're always playing Halo and shit together. So, even though he's not in the house, I don't particularly consider it alone. Oh fuck. Was he one of those friends I was going to show this to? He'd seen a fucking dirty video of me but now I was even fucking blushing at the thought of showing me doing drunk gaming with the neighbor on youtube. Whatever, I was still doing this.
I think that's the only kind of explosion I'm gonna allow in my- Oh god. I hope you don't mind perversion because I think I'm always gonna go there apparently. Of course, the perverted nature of what I was saying didn't really hit me until I was finishing the sentence. Moving on from that blunder, that's the best kind. When you don't know it until you stand up then you're just like, hey it's dizzy in here. I took the drink, immediately taking a taste, and with my old habits I could barely taste the alcohol but the drink was awesome. I slurped up like, a fourth of it before sitting it down and googling Chinese near me. I think Number One Kitchen has the absolute best crab rangoon.
Why was I a little excited to talk about the music store? I mean shit I hadn't exactly earned it but I felt like I did good with it.
You might have seen it, I don't know. The Mad Platter. It's a music store. While I talked I pulled up the menu, trying to decide if I was in the mood for General Tsos or something hotter. Either way, crab rangoon was a must. Oh em gee, tell me that shitcake isn't in your life anymore. Ex? Do you mind me asking? It kinda soaked in that whether she knew it or not I bet that business degree was helping her, I mean, if you were making money from it then couldn't it be considered a business? Providing a service - entertainment. I mean, not to be weird, but you got someone in ya life? Don't mind me, by the way, I'm nosy as fuck. I decided on the pepper steak and passed on my phone with the menu pulled up. Splurge if you want, it's on me.
