A lady with a vibrant energy and full of jokes, Marion Murphy Cooney is fast becoming a household name. Her designs are all over red carpet events and style awards up and down the country. Marion is a great inspiration as a mother, a wife and an entrepreneur–with three children, a demanding job and a husband who regularly travels with his work. We found it very interesting to step into the world of this fashion designer
Why did you decide to become a fashion designer?
I didn't- it chose me! I have had a sewing needle in my hand since the age of five; it never entered my head to study anything other than design.
How long have you been designing clothing?
Officially? Ten years. Unofficially? For as long as I can remember. It went from dressing my dolls to 'recycling' my shop-bought clothes. My husband always tells the story that when we first met he came to my parents' house to pick me up. I complained that I had nothing to wear. I said 'hang on for half an hour and I will make something'. He thought I was joking. I wasn't. My parents didn't even blink.
What was your big break?
I don't think there was one big break, I think there were a number of lucky opportunities. That combined with a lot of hard work and supportive family and friends meant that there were a lot of mini breaks! It is very funny though – theharder one works the luckier one seems to get!
What is your favourite part about being a fashion designer?
I am always learning. I am learning from people, I am learning about people. Because design is so creative, the mind is always on the go.
What were your inspirations for the designs you have created?
There have been so many. But you know what: I can honestly say for the most part, it is the Irish woman on the street. I often look at a lady that I feel has dressed with style, she has a presence and I analyse the look – how did she make it work? Style should always express one's personality.
How did you select the materials you use?
My mantra is never to compromise on quality. A good fabric will allow for a good cut. My designs are not disposable; once you buy an MMC design you have it for life. The fabric needs to stick the pace too. I am also drawn to colour and prints. What catches my eye, what stands apart, what talks to me and is unique – just like the individual I am designing for.
How do you feel about dressing all of these glamorous celebrities?
Of course I love it, who wouldn't? It is such a thrill to meet these famous faces that I feel I know as they are in my living room on a daily basis – albeit on the TV screen! But I can honestly say I get just as much as a buzz designing for my non-celebrity clients. Nothing can beat the feeling of knowing that someone has left your studio feeling happy in themselves, that they feel they look well in their clothes and that will give them a confidence boost.
Who would be your dream person to dress?
Jennifer Aniston. She is an elegant, beautiful woman who seems so natural. She can teach us all a thing or two about dressing to suit you never means having to compromise on style.
What is your approach when you start a piece?
The fabric usually determines what I willmake- it's asif it walks off the counter and into my head as a piece. If it is a bespoke piece, it would be the client's own personality.
Do you try to send out a message or theme in your clothes?
I never intentionally decided to send out a message but I am told that I inadvertently have. Style is individual, it is classic and it is elegant – but most importantly it is unique to each and every woman. And to be honest, that is exactly what all of my pieces are.
Who is your favourite designer?
I think Victoria Beckham is a woman that has sartorially grown up before our eyes. She has made the fashion mistakes – haven't we all- but she has found herself, and all in the public eye. I feel her clothes and looks will stand the test of time.
Any advice to designers starting up?
Be true to yourself. Never try to copy others. Go with your gut instinct, never rest on your laurels and you will have a winning formula on your hands.
What are the hours of a fashion designer like?
Do you really want to know?! I have heard of a thing called a working day and a routine but I need to look the latter up in a dictionary! In a world that involves 3 children, a husband that works away from home and a job that is by no means predictable, I would love to know what my hours are like myself!
How do you get your best work done? Do you have a process?
Blind panic….Joking! Of course there are manic times but I have a great team behind me. It is amazing what a working day can throw at you. And just when you think things are going swimmingly…..
You have travelled a lot and done shows in Abu Dhabi… can you tell us about this experience?
Abu Dhabi is a magical world – an entirely different one. I had to put the thinking cap firmly on to ensure my designs reflected this different way of life. I am so fortunate that I have a great friend out there who made the transition an easy one for me. It did not do me an ounce of harm to feel some sun on my bones either.
And you are an award winning fashion designer…
I know – I have to pinch myself… it is the icing on the cake to receive recognition for doing something you love.
You have a very busy life… What do you do to relax?
Jogging. I just find it amazing that by being out in the fresh air and by just managing to place one foot in front of the other – repeatedly – how the world can look a calmer and nicer place than it did just thirty minutes previous. Also, there's nothing better than a good book. With a demanding job and trying hard to be a good mother, reading is about the best form of escapism I can get!
What are your plans for the future of MMC design?
Progress in anything brings problems, opportunities and solutions. That is what I have found anyway. My latest opportunity is that I am now being stocked in the Middle East – and I am all too aware how fortunate I am to be able to say this. The problem is time – the Middle East isn't exactly down the road. And as for the solution – hold on 'til I have a chat with the Hubby!! (Laughs)

I wish I could get screenshots of the game, but unfortunately that is still disabled on the beta servers. However, NDA is now lifted so I feel like talking about it.
First, the obvious comparison with EoF. The devs have been talking about how they wanted to copy EoF's successes with this expansion… well I don't think they did. EoF to me is still far and away a better expansion. Now here's why….
The first thing you tend to notice in the expansion (depending on where you start), is size. This is an obvious nod towards EoF. This part I love. You thought everything was big in EoF? Multiply it by 3! The zones themselves seem to be about 2 or 3 times bigger than your average EoF zone. For instance, the average RoK zone has 3-4 pages of maps. If you look at these maps, the feature I notice most is that those wings that we see for cloud lifts in KoS and the zone in symbols are a fraction of the size we are used to seeing them, at least half the size. Which means even though there are multiple pages, each page is much bigger in size than your average page from the old maps (they do now have a zoom feature to help you see things close up too). Not only are the size of the zones big, so are the points of interest. One of the first awe inspiring moments I had was in the mountains in the first zone where there is a little outpost. This "little" (I say that as there really isn't much there) outpost has spires towering over it that I swear are at least 50 times the size of the spires you can teleport to KoS from, they are huge. Underneath them is a bunch of pyramids (not the CT style but more Egyptian instead, actually look a little sci-fi in appearance). The reason these are awe-inspiring is that you don't see them build up, they are hidden by a mountain peak, so you turn a corner and you see it all… it is awesome. The devs have gotten so much better in zone design with each expansion and this one is no exception.
Once you get past the bigness however, the second thing you notice tends to be…. "My God, this looks like WoW! Ewww!" Don't get me wrong, some of the new graphics are cool, I particularly like the formerly mentioned pyramids, many of the zone in areas (like the castle, veeshan's peak, etc) and a number of the new creatures (like the spider people, the iksar/scorpions, the wurms, the new yetis, the cockatrices, and there are a few more that I won't mention here). However, some of it makes the game seem downright cartoony, and I don't want to spend my life playing a cartoon world, if I did I'd play wow or toon town. The trees seem ripped straight from wow, they even have a railroad track through a sarnak mine that seemed stolen from the newbie area of WoW. it is overly colourful (of which I'll be honest in saying colour is good, but it is unrelenting). I thought Kunark in EQ1 was supposed to be a dark and brooding expansion, here it seems bright and cheery.
However, I do like much of it's kind of primitave feel. Cockatrice's, Sabretooth Lions, werewolves, giants, wurms, wyverns, droags, etc. make it feel like you are visiting a fantasy dinosaur land. Especially with looming volcanos (the SkyFire Mountains). This is a nice feal, and certainly a new type of feel that we haven't seen yet in EQ2. The main types of zones seem to be Badlands, Volcano Range, Large Pine Forest, Snow Mountains, a gully area, and I know there is an underwater zone which i haven't been able to find quite yet.
The Sarnak, I've never been too fond of appearances since they released the first pictures, but I do think there will be a number of people who hated the Fae & Arasai who will like the Sarnak. It is a shame they made them evil because they would make great paladins. They have high wisdom, str, and stamina I believe (although it may have been agility instead of strength). Their racial traits include +wis, the firebreathing aoe that had been mentioned, falling damage reduction, healing crit & heal skill buff, taunting resistance reduction buff, think maybe a +sta, and then a couple tradeskills. I think it is best suited for Pally, but I do think it would still see quite a bit of use as other tanks and priests as well.
The reports of a new flying mount is true, sort of. However, in reality it is just a new way to do the griffons. You have to do a 5 step quest which as a reward you get a pet and a flying mount. However, you can only use these flying mounts at various shrines throughout the zone to other similar shrines. Thus the concept is the same as the griffon. It is nice to see graphic variation though, I think they noted that people really liked the horses for GF and LF in EoF. From what I've heard the new rhino mount is the reward for being guild level 80. I don't know what other rewards are involved from 60-80, but I think the rhino is the 80 reward.
Another reason I really feel that this isn't as good of an expansion as EoF is besides the largeness of the zones and the persistent instances, there really isn't much NEW to it. EoF brought with it an entire new AA tree, 50 points, 8 gods, cloaks, 2nd earring slot, tinkering, transmuting, and portal spells. RoK is bringing 3 new gods, 40 AA points, and 10 levels to every side (including 20 guild levels). I think the main point they are making is the levels, as they almost didn't even put in the 40 AA. The levels are great, and well needed addition to the game (I think people were more than a little bored of the 70 level limit by this point), but I would have liked to see SOME new feature to the expansion that was more than just cosmetic like the bigger zones. In a way I was kind of hoping for a third new secondary tradeskill as I feel the choice of just 2 was limiting (I was really hoping for an appearance adjusting secondary tradeskill).
From what little i've seen of the beta, I would give the expansion about a B-. Cheesey graphics and lack of new features being the negatives, and big zones, monuments, level raise being the positives. Sarnak kind of fall in between, I do appreciate that they didn't just pick random animal and turn it into a biped like many fantasy creators seem to.
Of course, this grade was given without a huge amount of playtime put into it. I mostly have just kind of looked around at the new zones, found out where some basic things were, and seen if there was anything new that they haven't really talked about. I am in no rush to ruin the content. With expansions only coming 1 time a year, we are going to be living with these new zones for a year, and I am sure by this time next year we will be quite sick of these zones because this is all we have for 74-85. Why would I want to rush me being sick of it?

We were appointed by Tarmac to prepare and manage the Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and Planning Applications for the extraction of sand and gravel at Killerby Quarry, situated in North Yorkshire on the south western flank of the gently sloping valley formed by the River Swale.
We initially prepared scoping reports for submission to North Yorkshire County Council outlining the proposed developments and the potential environmental impacts. The responses to these scoping reports informed the scope of works for the EIAs.
A public consultation event was held by Tarmac for the Killerby Quarry proposals which we attended and prepared leaflets and presentation boards. We managed the production of the EIAs and carried out various assessments including: landscape and visual impact, soils and agriculture, water resources, air quality, noise, vibration, cultural heritage, flora and fauna and transport.
Working with closely with Tarmac we developed the phasing of the proposed operations and the design of restoration proposals incorporating mitigation measures identified during the EIA process. The restoration proposals included irregular shaped lakes bordered by retained trees in order to provide an ornithological habitat. Proposed planting would maintain key green corridors within and around the site, new wetlands would enhance the ecological value of the river corridor in the longer term.

Margaret Cho, the comedian who defended Planned Parenthood last month by saying God created abortion, has now taken aim at Saturday Night Live for inviting GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump to host the show.
Cho is criticizing show producers for allegedly failing to recruit diverse guests and cast members over the years, while also slamming Trump as a "racist," "sexist," and incestuous man.
"Why has there never been an Asian American host, cast member or musical guest on 'SNL' in 41 years? Forty-one years," Cho said to The Wrap. "Yet they want Donald Trump, a known racist, a known sexist, who disgustingly wants to have sex with his daughter. Who does he think he is, Woody Allen?
"The comedian continued her rant with a rebuttal to those who discredit her claim that no Asians have ever appeared on the show, while highlighting the ethnicities of former cast members Fred Armisen and Rob Schneider.
"People come at me and say, 'Oh, Fred Armisen is a quarter Japanese, Rob Schneider is half Filipino.' Yeah, that makes three-quarters of an Asian-American, not even in one person, in 41 years," she continued.
Cho isn't the only person upset over The Donald's upcoming appearance on SNL.
The Wrap reports the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda asked NBC and SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels on Monday to cancel Trump's Nov. 7 appearance.
"We are appalled that you would enable Trump's hateful speech for nothing (more) than a ratings ploy and ask that you rescind the SNL invitation," the group reportedly said in a letter to Michaels and NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke.
When asking Cho who she would like to see on SNL to break ground for Asian-Americans?
Herself, of course.
"I'm proposing Ken Jeong. I would like to be the musical guest. That's all I ask," she said. "They would take a momentous step forward, if they include Ken Jeong or myself."
Donald Trump last hosted SNL in 2004, and takes the stage again on Nov. 7.

In difficult blustery wind conditions the Reds repeated their 5-1 victory over Maltby Main Reserves from 7 days ago with another victory by the same score line. This was a performance built on hard work rather than good play as the strong winds made it difficult for all the players.
United had the first chance when a shot by Ainslie Finney was spilled by Maltby keeper Davies but he gathered at the second attempt as Steve Ellor closed in, Finney also went close with a header from a Luke Skelton cross but the chance went wide. At the other end a header from Brown was saved by Reds keeper Priestley. With any flair absent because of the wind United were at least having the territorial advantage though a slip from skipper Ryan Scott allowed Brown to close in on goal with the onrushing Priestley causing him to rush his prodded effort and the ball went wide. A few moments later United survived an appeal for a Maltby penalty, Thomas raced through on to a Tate pass and Priestley coming out to challenge seemed to catch him, thankfully the referee didn't agree. United continued to boss the territory and Jack Whittaker, Steve Ellor and Mark Gedney all had attempts which never troubled the home goal. After 41 minutes United had the clearest chance of the game, after some good work down the right Grant Hill pulled the ball back from the goal line, the ball reached Steve Ellor and from 8 yards out with the goal at his mercy Ellor somehow blasted the ball over the bar.
The home sides sporadic forays to the United goal seemed to be stemming from the hard working Brown, shortly after the Ellor chance, Brown charged down a Ross Petty clearance and from 25 yards out tried his luck with a shot that swerved wide. Finney got in a cross which keeper Davies flapped at as Hill challenged him and with the half entering stoppage time the home side survived a goal mouth scramble with Hill, Finney and Whittaker all looking to get a decisive tough as the ball bounced about the Maltby goal area, they eventually managed to clear for a corner but United took the lead from this corner. Ellor crossed the ball and Hill managed to get his head to the ball and force it home to give United the lead. Half Time Maltby Main Res 0-1 United
With the wind in their favour United began to dictate possession and territory more in the second half than they had in the first though good play was always difficult and they increased their lead early in the second period. With his back to goal and looking to play a high bouncing ball, Finney down the right of the penalty area kicked the ball over his head towards the goal and in an attempt to clear the danger home player Hirst sliced his kick and saw the ball loop up and over his own keeper to double United's lead. Moments later a 30 yard effort from Hill sailed just over the bar as United began to look dominant and Finney also shot wide when he perhaps should have passed to a better placed Ellor. If United survived a strong penalty claim in the first half then they harshly conceded a penalty on 63 minutes, Maltby's best player Brown in possession of the ball got to the goal line and swivelled to put in a cross though Ryan Scott was only a yard away to challenge him however the ball struck Scott's arm and though the distance was too short for him to get out of the way the referee penalised him and gave a penalty with Thomas stepping up to dispatch the spot kick past Reds keeper Ben Priestley to reduce the arrears.
This setback didn't faze the Reds as Gedney, Ellor and Harrison all had efforts on goal though the wind was making shooting difficult and it wasn't too long before Finney restored United's 2 goal lead, Ellor got possession in the middle of the field, passed out wide on the right to Finney who came infield before unleashing a dipping shot which sailed over the keeper and under the bar to give United a third. Two further goals in the last 5 minutes gave some gloss to a United performance that was based on hard work rather than flair, the windy conditions not suitable for good play, firstly a goal kick from Priestley went long, the ball was flicked on by sub Connor Cairns and the ball found it's way to Ellor who fired it home to give United a fourth and 2 minutes later it was 5-1 when a cross from Ellor reached the incoming Mark Gedney and he directed his header wide of the keeper and into goal. final Score Maltby Main Res 1-5 United

There is a deal on the budget!
The House expected to vote today to on a two-year, bipartisan deal to fund the government through 2015. It restores some of the sequester cutbacks and cuts new pensions for fed workers and benefits for some military retirees. It will also raise airport fees, and does NOT include an extension of unemployment benefits.
Some conservatives and some progressives are unhappy with the deal, and its passage is not assured.
Senator Murray said "I am very proud to stand here today with Chairman Ryan to say that we have broken through the partisanship and gridlock and reached a bipartisan budget compromise."
We'll see if it can pass in both houses of Congress.
Big day on the Affordable Care Act.
We are expecting new health care enrollment numbers today.

CT Forum
The chocolate tree, or
Theobroma Cacao
originates in South America.
It is a "lower rainforest canopy" plant, and thrives in damp warm conditions with partial shade.
The plant germinates from a cocoa bean, which quickly spouts and splits, producing a stem that produces new single-stalked leaves at its apex as it grows. Leaves are initially a translucent red, hanging down vertically on the ends of horizontal stalks. Hanging vertically allows the limp growing leaf to expand quickly, with water more easily able to reach all parts of the expanding leaf, and without the shape needing support. The damp growing leaf and its stalk quickly expand from a few millimetres in length to
the size of an adult human hand in just a few days, then harden and turn a medium dark green.
Adult Leaves are paper-thin and do not hold a great deal of moisture. This makes them difficult to digest for insects, and their fast growth-phase means that the initial window of vulnerability is small. Leaves and stems also have fine hairs to make it more difficult for insects to travel over the plant. Once the leaf has attained maturity, a muscle-like swelling at the base of the stem and the base of the leaf raise it up to face the light.
The thin, dry leaves are vulnerable to dehydration and overheating, and can easily turn brown around the edges, and ultimately drop. These fallen leaves can take a surprisingly long time to biodegrade, and can remain on the ground under the plant, propped up at an angle by the attached stalk, for many months. a spread of this leaf litter allows water through to the ground while depriving any competing seedlings of light near the plant's base.
Once the single stalk has reached a certain size it will produce a crown of new stems, each of which then grows like the original. Until this point, the plant may look like "a straight stick with leaves". Crowning can be induced early (to produce a tree with more branching) by deliberately damaging the stem tip, although this risks damaging the plant.
The stem also also has soft green thin flexible spikes around the stems. In an adult tree, some of these should change into flowers, resulting in large sweet-tasting yellow or orange seed-pods, containing large bitter seeds.
When roasted and processed, these brown seeds (the cocoa beans) are the base material for chocolate.
Amongst its other unusual properties, the lipid obtained from cocoa beans (cocoa butter) is supposed to have the highest melting point of any raw vegetable fat, and is supposed to be the only plant oil or fat that remains solid up to almost human body temperature. This melting point is part of why chocolate dissolves so well in the mouth.

HOLLYWOOD — It wasn`t hard for McArthur coach Roger Mastroantonio to pick his most improved player after the Mustangs beat Hallandale 13-0 at Friday`s jamboree at McArthur Stadium.
``Dwayne Wallace,`` Mastroantonio said. ``He`s more poised, has more skills and is much more confident. When he comes out, the team knows he`s going to do it.``
McArthur was 2-8 last year, Hallandale 5-5.
Chaminade won the jamboree`s second half, beating South Broward 10-7.
Quarterback Wallace, who will be a senior next fall, was 3-of-5 passing for 104 yards and two touchdowns Friday. Wallace opened the scoring with a 72-yard pass to wide out Kirk Bacener with 9:58 left in the first quarter and hit Scott Croy on a 15-yard TD pass with 8:30 left in the second period.
Ron Hurt converted the PAT after the first touchdown but missed on his second attempt. Bacener also caught Wallace`s third completion of the day for a 17- yard gain.
``Bacener was a running back on our JV team last year,`` Mastroantonio said. ``We timed him at 4.5 in the 40-yard dash and then we said he`s a wideout.``
McArthur`s defense was tenacious. The Mustangs stopped the Chargers all three times they crossed the 50-yard line, holding Hallandale on the McArthur 17 and 19 on the final two drives.
``These kids are starting to play together,`` Mastroantonio said. ``I think we`re stronger and bigger and I think we`re going to prove it. Last year, we had three kids over 200 pounds -- now we have seven. That`s due to our weight program.``
With the weight program, defensive tackle Bennie Danisi, 6-3, 220, has gained 40 pounds since last fall.
In the jamboree`s second half, South Broward led Chaminade 7-0 with three minutes left to play after Wayne Collier scored from 1 yard out with 3:13 left in the first quarter and Mark Whitaker kicked the PAT.

Long ago, I created a Christmas planner in Excel, and it has evolved over the years. Well, tomorrow is the first of December, so you've probably finished your planning for this year. But, if you haven't, this year's new and improved version of the workbook might help. Now it's an Excel Holiday Planner – you can pick any date as your holiday, instead of being Christmas themed.
Get Started
When you download the workbook, a PLAN tab will appear on the Excel Ribbon. Use the button there, to navigate to the different sheets in the workbook.
Do you like the custom icons that I created? If I can do that, with my non-existent art skills, you can too!
There are details on my website, if you want to create a custom tab for the Excel Ribbon.
Enter the Holiday Info
On the Start sheet in the Excel Holiday Planner, enter the current year, your holiday date, and the number of weeks before the holiday that your plan should include.
You could enter December 25th, if you're celebrating Christmas, or December 23rd for Festivus, or any other holiday you want to celebrate.
Fill in Holiday Plan
Next, go to the different sheets, and fill in your holiday plans.
- There is a budget sheet, and another sheet where you can track your spending.
- There's a separate sheet for gifts – list all your gift ideas, and enter the final costs when you buy each gift.
- Enter your holiday events too, and see them on a calendar.
There are more instructions on the Holiday Planner page on my Contextures site
See the Summary
On the Home sheet, there's a summary of your spending, plus a countdown of the days until the holiday arrives.

I am quite a lucky television fan. Through the means of conventions, signing events and a couple of chance encounters, I've been fortunate enough to meet a lot of people. The following is a list of who, where I met them, and some of the shows they have appeared in. Note that I've chosen to highlight roles that are more familiar to me, you might not agree with my choice in "most known for".
I am in the progress of adding the story behind each encounter, so if a name has been made clickable, that means there's a story. How long and detailed they are depend on my own personal history with each person.

For this project I used an old pair of jeans. The jeans fit me perfectly but they were full of holes and I was going to throw them away. They were perfect for cutting apart to draft a new pattern. Below are the steps I used.
1. First I cut jeans apart along the seams. I only cut one side of the jeans apart because both sides are almost the same.
2. Then I laid the pieces out as flat as I could on pattern paper. The paper I use for this is just leftovers from a large commercial printer. I can't believe they were just going to throw all that good paper away. Large pieces of newsprint paper also work well for this but you might have to tape a few pieces together. Pattern tracing paper, with the 1" blue grid printed on it, also works really well but it costs more than the other two options.
3. Next I carefully traced around all the pieces with a pencil. I think I wound up with about eleven different pieces. After each piece had been traced I set the jean parts aside.
4. I added labels to each piece so that I would be able to tell what they are and how many to cut. I also added grain lines.
5. Each piece that I traced needed to be cleaned up so I used my 3"x18" ruler and french curves to make sure that my lines were strait and smooth. I also checked to make sure that all my pieces would match up when they are sewn together.
6. Then it was time to add seam allowances. I used a 1/2" seam allowance because it is just easier than using the traditional 5/8". For all the straight lines I used my 3"x18" ruler again. For all the curved lines a compass works wonders. Just open the compass up to your desired seam allowance and then trace around any curve.
7. The last step to drafting the pattern was adding markings for things like pockets.
The back pockets you see on my jeans are actually from another pair and not the originals. That's one of the cool things about drafting your own pattern. You can add or change any details you want. If you are at all unsure about your drafting skills be sure to make a muslin first so that you can work out all the "kinks" first. Otherwise, just jump right in and start making your new jeans.

Have you ever played poker at your favourite PayPal Casino? This fun-filled game provides all the thrills that you could wish for while gambling, as well as some big cash prizes. It really is a win-win for all players! It can, however, seem like quite a daunting game if you have never played PayPal Casino poker before, so we're here to give you our top 10 tips on all the ways in which you can increase your odds of winning at the table every single time.
Take Your Time
While playing poker at an PayPal Casino can be a very thrilling game when playing for high stakes, it's always best to start out playing the stakes a little lower. This gives players a chance to familiarise themselves with the layout, design and PayPal Casino poker rules, which will even take the seasoned player a hot minute to wrap their heads around.
Not only will this help you to get comfortable with the game, it will also remove the stress of staking high amounts of your own cash, giving you the time you need to hone your skills and become a pro at poker on your favourite PayPal Casino site. Furthermore, the speed of poker at PayPal Casinos can be daunting for new players and may take time to get used to.
Other aspects of the PayPal Casino site you should familiarise yourself with are the lobby, depositing page, bonuses, promotions, and the betting features available to players.
Have A Quiet Zone to play with PayPal
If you're just starting out playing poker, it can already be overwhelming enough without having lots of noise surrounding you while you play. While lots of PayPal Casino poker players find ways in which to entertain themselves between hands, this is a bad habit of picking up as your full focus and attention should be on the game. This can then lead to mistakes being made during the game such as playing a poor hand, that could be catastrophic for your money wagered.
Play A Single Table on a PayPal Casino
While some players who have played physical poker before may be tempted to jump right into a pay by paypal casino and play the multi-tabling game, we would advise against this. New players to PayPal Casino poker should always start off by playing a single table and work their way up to multi-table games. If players learn to win at poker at their favourite PayPal Casino first, this will give them a great advantage in the weeks to come as they can confidently then move to a multi-table game with a firm grasp of the PayPal Casino poker rules and technical aspects.
Even if you are a seasoned poker player, PayPal Casino poker can still be quite a difficult transition to make. If you are thinking of having a go, then use our tips above to make sure that you are on to a winning streak, because no one likes to lose their hard earned cash!

As a strong advocate of entrepreneurialism and global eCommerce, we are delighted to establish this partnership with Alibaba Group.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 10, 2015
Payscout, a leading global merchant service provider, has announced an agreement with China's Alibaba Group, under the terms of which Payscout will provide global payment logistics for Tmall, Alibaba's business-to-consumer portal. "As a strong advocate of entrepreneurialism and global eCommerce, we are delighted to establish this partnership with Alibaba Group," said Payscout CEO, Cleveland Brown. "We look forward to facilitating Alibaba's seamless global expansion."
The relationship with Alibaba and Tmall was facilitated by Payscout's presence in China, which the company established several years ago. Payscout has a third-party service provider relationship with China UnionPay, the only domestic bank card organization in the People's Republic of China, as well as its overseas subsidiary, UnionPay International. "We were recognized by Alibaba as a trusted partner for Chinese eCommerce companies looking to expand globally," said Brown.
Alibaba, China's leading eCommerce company, provides consumer-to-consumer, business-to-business, and business-to-consumer sales services. Tmall, its business-to-consumer portal, has over 180 million shoppers and is the market leader in China, with a 57.6% market share. Alibaba reported sales of $109 billion for the quarter ending June 30, with total sales for the year of $326 billion.1
The new agreement with Payscout comes as part of a strategy that has been unfolding for some time. In January of this year, Alibaba announced plans to make it easier for U.S. companies to sell directly to Chinese consumers. In March, after struggling to penetrate the Chinese market on its own, Amazon opened a storefront on Tmall. Earlier this month, Macy's announced that Macy's China Limited, a joint venture between Macy's and Chinese retailer Fung Retailing Limited, will launch an online flagship store on Tmall, the first U.S. department store to do so. Other brands with exclusive deals to sell on Tmall include Zara and Old Navy. Nike, Adidas, Unilever, Costco and the Gap, along with Amazon, sell on Tmall through non-exclusive agreements.2
Brown points out that Global eCommerce is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the global GDP, and is expected to reach $2.4 trillion in 2017. As a thought leader in global payment processing, Payscout emphasizes that global economic policy and global eCommerce are inextricably joined. "In making future economic policy decisions," Brown states, "policymakers must take into consideration the need to support global eCommerce."

Codeine is a prescription opioid drug that treats mild pain and acts as a cough suppressant.
However, because of high rates of abuse, the Drug Enforcement Administration has moved the substance into Schedule III, so it is more closely monitored and controlled when it is placed in cough syrups – its primary application in the US.
One of the ways that people abuse codeine cough syrups is by mixing them into alcoholic beverages or nonalcoholic sodas, creating a dangerously intoxicating mix with several nicknames. The most famous names are "lean," "purple drank," "syrup," and "sizzurp." These mixed drinks have been popularized by rappers and pop stars.
What Are Purple Drank, Sizzurp, Syrup, and Lean?Codeine cough syrup's main ingredient is a mild opioid narcotic, making it a target of abuse for people seeking narcotic highs. Many codeine cough syrups no longer contain alcohol, so purple drank and similar brews often contain alcohol. Some of the cough syrups may also contain dextromethorphan, or DXM, a cough suppressant that replaced codeine in over-the-counter cold and flu medicines. This drug is also intoxicating and dangerous, and has become a target of abuse. Another sedating drug often found in cough syrups is promethazine.
The mixture of cough syrup, alcohol, soda, and sometimes hard candy like Jolly Ranchers first became popularized in the 1990s. Since then, the DEA has rescheduled codeine so it requires a prescription, and both federal and state authorities track these prescriptions, along with the sale of cough syrups in general. These laws were instituted due to meth production in small labs in the US, which used cough and cold medicines.
Purple drank derives its name from the classic purple color of most codeine cough syrups;
This kind of substance abuse is also part of hip hop culture, with numerous celebrities ending up hospitalized or dead due to the mixture, or due to mixing sizzurp with other intoxicants like marijuana.
- Euphoria
- Sedation
- Memory loss
- Loss of coordination
- Withdrawal symptoms
- Dissociation
- Seizures
- Cravings and addiction
It is very easy to overdose on this drug, in part because opioids depress breathing to the point of oxygen deprivation while the person is asleep. Mixing alcohol and opioids enhances the effects of both drugs, making it harder for emergency responders to treat the overdose. Alcohol and opioids are two of the most addictive drugs in the United States when used separately, so mixing them can quickly lead to serious health effects, tolerance, dependence, and addiction.
When Is Treatment Necessary?It is important to get help and appropriate treatment before purple drank or lean put a person in the hospital. Using this drug cocktail, craving it, seeking it out instead of doing other important tasks, losing money, or experiencing legal problems due to use are all signs that drinking this addictive concoction has become a problem and help is needed. Those suffering from abuse issues may seek help on their own; their loved ones may intervene and ask them to quit and go to a rehabilitation program; or a court could sentence the person to a rehabilitation program involuntarily if they are caught with this combination of drugs.
The best approach to detox is to work with a medical professional to withdraw safely from the substance if it's used regularly. The supervising doctor may use small doses of benzodiazepines if the primary addiction involves alcohol, or they may prescribe buprenorphine if the addiction primarily involves codeine.
People who are detoxing from opioid addiction may experience pain as a symptom. The supervising physician may use over-the-counter painkillers in specific doses to ease this issue. Clonidine is sometimes used off-label to treat opioid withdrawal symptoms, especially nausea and loss of appetite.
Once detox has been successfully completed, the individual must enter a rehabilitation program. These programs provide group and individual therapy, as well as family therapy and other complementary treatments, to help the person mend relationships, understand addiction, and deal with triggers or stress in a more successful, sober manner.
Treatment is extremely important because purple drank, sizzurp, lean, syrup, and similar concoctions are all very dangerous. Continued use can quickly lead to addiction and overdose. Fortunately, there are many adolescent, young adult, and adult rehabilitation programs that can help people struggling with this addiction.

The Hilltop Arboretum's big fall plant sale is over, but that doesn't mean the work is.
The arboretum's eclectic, year-round volunteer crew, known affectionately as the Hodge Podge — "they do a little bit of this, and a little bit of that," said Executive Director Peggy Coates — barely skips a beat before they start all over again.
In fact, it's a great time to start volunteering, for all those who may be interested in either putting their plant knowledge to good use or learning more about gardening.
Made up of about a dozen or so members who float in and out as time allows, the Hodge Podgers meet from 9 a.m. to noon every Wednesday, doing a variety of tasks from sorting, propagating, planting, fertilizing, trimming and spraying plants, to making plant labels and other various office tasks required for their fundraising efforts.
"It's a pretty big operation, taking care of all those plants," Coates said, adding that there were 5,000 plants in their inventory as of the start of the plant sale.
Hodge Podge Volunteer Coordinator Pam Sulzer recently sat at a large table in the center of the arboretum's main office sorting through a long list of volunteers — nearly 100 in all — lined up for the weekend.
As she assigned volunteers to tasks on paper Oct. 1 — their final meeting before the sale — the rest of the Hodge Podge darted in and out of the rain, making sure all the plants were in their proper places with proper name tags.
Most of their plants come from the backyards of members of the Friends of Hilltop Arboretum, and friends of those friends.
"If anybody has a plant that's spread too much, or they dig up their garden, clean out their greenhouse, that's where a lot of our inventory comes from," Sulzer said.
Sometimes it's plants, sometimes it's pots.
Sometimes they use the pots to create "pot people" — human-shaped sculptures made almost entirely of stacked terra cotta pots, with, of course, a spiky ornamental plant, or sometimes moss, for hair.
They also create garden crafts, usually some type of wind chime or crafty plant holder, to offer for sale along with the plants.
This year's offering will be a series of wire envelopes held together with twine edges that hold air plants or succulents in their pouches.
The group is busy even with the planting taken out of the equation, Sulzer said.
But then, the plants are largely the point, and they get plenty of those.
It's not unusual for a random pile of bulbs to greet them outside the arboretum when they arrive.
"People just come drop things off," Sulzer said. "Sometimes there's a note with them, telling us what they are, and sometimes nothing."
"We take everything, we sell everything when we have it," she said. "Trees, monkey grass, moss. Anything but sago palms," Sulzer laughed. "No more sagos!" comes a chorus from the rest of the Podge as they come in and out of the building, soaked with rain. The infamously spiky plants cause their fair share of Hodge Podge injuries.
The dedicated bunch loses no opportunity to turn their expertise into operating funds for the nonprofit arboretum. They have historically ended every meeting with a potluck buffet lunch, and they've compiled a collection of their favorite potluck selections into a cookbook, "Passalong Recipes From the Podge," which is also available at the arboretum's giftshop.
Sulzer is a master gardener, as are many of the volunteers.
"We have to do 40 hours of volunteer work per year to keep our master gardener certification," Sulzer said. "There's an expert here on pretty much everything. I've learned a lot from this group."
They share a love for gardening — and food — and always have a great time, she said. It becomes an extended family.
As for Coates, she's always been impressed by the dedication of the arboretum's community support, and the Hodge Podge is near the top of that list.
"Their fundraisers contribute $30,000 annually to the operating budget," Coates said, but their commitment to the arboretum runs much deeper.
As a group dedicated to preserving and passing on botanical treasures, Coates said, the group is a wealth of plant knowledge that is accessible to anyone who cares to ask.

Staff Review
This sax was inspired by the old Adolphe sax instruments and to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the man himself. It gives me great pleasure to help introduce and play test an instrument that holds such significance as this one.
The composition of the body really embraces the vintage era of saxophone making but keeps all the positives and playability of the modern day sax. Each part from the brace between the body and bell, wire key guards to the pearl key rollers add to the mystique of the instrument. I also like the Nickel silver finger buttons which are again reminiscent of the old Adolph sax horns.
As well as the great cosmetics, It is clear that when Selmer designed this horn they really focused on the quality and richness of the vintage sound. The 'Adolphe' gives the user a free blowing experience with a perfect amount of resistance resulting in a warm, round and beautiful vintage tone. The whole thing is incredibly easy to control from top to bottom and a real joy to play. It is another step forward for Selmer in continuing in their great saxophone tradition.

TRUMP WIDENS LEAD – Up 2 Points in IBD Poll …(2012's Most Accurate Poll)
Donald Trump widened his lead and is now up by two points in the Investor's Business Daily presidential poll released on Sunday.
The IBD poll was the most accurate poll in the 2012 election.
Investor's reported:
With 16 days to go until November 8, Donald Trump leads Hillary Clinton by 2 percentage points — 43% to 41% — in a four-way race, according to the latest IBD/TIPP presidential tracking poll.
Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson saw his support held steady at 7% , while the Green Party's Jill Stein dipped to 3% .
Unrounded, Trump leads 42.6% to 40.8% — a 1.8-point edge — with Johnson at 7.2% and Stein at 3.3% .
Trump also holds a nearly one-point lead in a two-way matchup — 43.2% to 42.3% .
The IBD/TIPP poll results continue to show a much closer race than most other nationwide polls. Only the Rasmussen poll shows Trump ahead in a four-way contest (by two points).
Trump also leads Hillary Clinton in the LA Times- USC Dornsife poll.

Bangladesh cricket team received a low-key reception on their return to the country on Saturday despite fulfilling their initial target of Champions Trophy in the UK.
Bangladesh played in the coveted eight-team tournament for the first time in 11 years and reached the semi-finals that they cherished before leaving for almost a two-month tour when they also played a tri-nation series in Ireland.
Mashrafee bin Murtaza-led side also did well in that series beating New Zealand, whom they beat again in Cardiff to ensure their semi-final berth at Champions Trophy, but lost to India in the all-important match.
After their last ICC ODI tournament in 2015, the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, where they lost to the same opponents in the quarter-finals, they received a big grand reception but this time only the CEO of Bangladesh Cricket Board received them by handing over some flower bouquets to the skipper.
'We had a great opportunity to go for big but we failed to utilise the chances in the semi-final,' said Mashrafee to the reporters at the Hazrat ShahJalal International Airport.
'At the same time we are also disappointed that if we played well in the semis, we might get a chance to play one more match in the tournament. But the world is not finished here and we are looking forward to play well in the next series.'
Bangladesh's next ICC campaign is World Cup 2019 that will also take place in the UK as well and the skipper believed their experience of the recent tour will help them immensely.
'It's obviously a great feeling to be in the semi-finals. We played in the knockout stages and there were opportunities but we could not deliver at the right time', said Mashrafee.
'But hope that we'll do much better in the next big tournaments and series. If we can get such opportunities in those series, we'll try to use the opportunities.'
Bangladesh beat some of the strongest teams in the world in last two years at home though their success abroad is not similar but the captain said they are gradually improving and need to fix some areas of their game.
Bangladesh reached 158-2 after 28 overs against India but a middle-order collapse saw them finish with only 264, at least 50 runs short considering the condition and strength of the opposition.
Mashrafee thought the batsmen had to take the responsibility but at the same time he was not content with the bowlers as he expected them to show some positive intent despite the target was too low to defend.
'When we could not score enough runs against India and bowlers were fall in a shell mentally but their body language should not be like that. Batsmen need to learn how much they should score to set a target and bowlers should learn how to defend such score', said Mashrafee.
'If they learn so, we'll definitely do well in the next World Cup,' said the highest wicket taker of Bangladesh in ODIs, the only bowler who looked to have any sort of intent conceding just 29 runs off eight overs in picking up the only wicket in their nine-wicket defeat.
Mashrafee said the tournament was even tougher than the World Cup as there was no chance to comeback and although he acknowledged that it was tough for the young players to play well in such big occasion but he expected better from them.
However, the skipper believed they will improve and shine in the next big tournament.
'We needed to play more as a whole team but we could not do so. Next time, we needed to play more maturely and bowlers should bowl well as a group.
'Bowlers should learn how to ball in such flat wicket. It's time to build up such things and be ready for next series mentally, physically and skill-wise.'

When you purchase a new iPad, it can be helpful to have an arsenal of tips and tricks on hand. Learning some of the shortcuts can help you to make the most of your new iPad and use it efficiently. This article contains some of the most recommended tips that can improve your iPad experience.
Wait until your battery is low before you begin to charge your iPad. Batteries have something referred to as memory. If you charge the battery too early, it's memory will then record a smaller life, and this can occur repeatedly, leading to the device needing to be on the charger to be used.
Even though your iPad does not come with a user manual, you can download one for free. Apple has a free PDF on their website containing the User Guide for the iPad. It also comes as an e-book you can read in iBooks, which is a free downloadable app available in the App Store.
Performing multiple app updates at the same time can slow down your iPad and make it difficult to get anything done. You can alleviate this by pausing apps and forcing them to update one at a time instead of all at once. Tap the icon of the app that is updating to pause it. When one is finished, you can allow another one to finish updating.
Change The Passcode on iPad
You automatically are prompted for only a four-digit password. However, this is not as secure as you would like since this not only gets you into your iPad but also is used to encrypt your data. Therefore, go to Passcode Lock under your General Settings and turn off Simple Passcode. After that, you will be able to make the password any length you like using any keyboard characters.
Mature Content
You can set your iPad to block mature content if your child will be using it. Go into the settings and limit the amount of mature content that is viewable. This setting will allow you to block anything labeled adult.
Spend a day or two familiarizing yourself with your iPad. You may have purchased it for one or two features, but spend a while exploring everything that is available. You may not even realize that the iPad can do some things, so looking around is a sure way to get even more out of it.
Be selective about your notifications. Under the Settings menu, navigate to Notifications. Adjust the settings until you are satisfied with which apps trigger notifications and which ones don't. This keeps you from being nagged by rarely used apps. It also keeps important notifications from being buried by less important ones.
The iPad's ".com" button can multitask. Most people know about the handy ".com" button that makes typing web addresses easier, but it can do much more than that. If the website you are heading to ends in ".net" or ".edu", simply hold down the ".com" button and you will see several new options pop up.
Double Click The Home Button
To see every app that is current running, double click the home button. This will allow you to see all of the running apps that you have. This lets you keep an eye on what's running on your iPad and close unneeded apps to free up RAM.
The best case truly insures your iPad against damage. You should invest more than a few dollars in a strong, protective hard or soft case. A folio is another excellent choice as it protects both the screen and the iPad itself. $50-80 is a good estimate of the cost of a truly protective case, so don't cheap out!
Small Print on Certain Websites
Are you having trouble with small print on certain websites? Then you need to zoom in. To do this, use two fingers to pinch outward. You will also be able to tap links and select words better. When you are ready to zoom out, use two fingers to pitch inward.
While you may be tempted to hack your device to add extra applications to it, you should really think twice. The official store has thousands of legit applications, and once you unlock your device you may lose support from the official Apple store. Think carefully about doing something like this!
Protective Cover
Is your screen becoming marred? While your iPad can handle some damage, if small scratches are appearing, you might want to place a protective cover on it. This not only saved the iPad from damage, but it also keeps you from developing small micro-scratches on your fingers.
The iPad is a great tool for reading. Whether it's fantasy literature or a college textbook, reading at night can become a bit straining on the eyes. Dimming your iBooks is easily accomplished by changing the brightness setting within the app. This makes nighttime reading far more enjoyable and comfortable.
iPad Can Work Great for Consolidating Existing Processes
The iPad can work great for consolidating existing processes. For instance, you can add your Google Calendar to your device. All you have to do is go to your settings tab, then go to mail, then contacts and finally calendars. You're going to add an account, and then click on other to start setting it up.
Do you find that you're constantly being asked to join a wifi network? Avoid this nagging by going into Settings and then Wi-Fi, then setting Ask to Join Networks to off. This will connect you to networks for which the password is known without you having to approve the connection.
Air Print
The Air Print feature is great for printing from your iPad anywhere. You need a compatible printer, and then all you have to do is tap the print icon on any document. It's a great feature that makes printing more mobile and much more convenient for your daily business needs.
In order to get the most out of your device, it is helpful to discover a few of the shortcuts, often used by the professionals. This article has introduced you to several shortcuts that you can use to improve your iPad experience. Play around with them, and see which ones work best for you. Before you know it, you will be an iPad expert!

Auto insurance is a legal requirement for anyone who owns a car, in many states. Driving without auto insurance can result in severe legal penalties, such as fines or even, jail time. With this in mind, selecting the auto insurance that suits you can be hard. The tips in this article should be able to help you.
When shopping for the best price on auto insurance, do not inflate the worth of your vehicle. Claiming your vehicle to be worth more than it is will only increase the cost of your premiums. In the case of a total loss accident, you will only be paid the amount your vehicle was actually worth at the time of the damage.
Having car insurance is a necessary and important thing. However there are things that you can do to help keep your costs down so that you have the best deal while still being safe. Check out different insurance companies to compare their rates. Reading the fine print in your policy will help you to keep track of whether or not terms have changed or if something in your situation has changed.
Most student drivers pose a higher risk to auto insurance companies because their age bracket is statistically involved in more accidents, but students can combat this by simply making the honor roll. Students with good grades are less likely to get behind the wheel of their cars drunk or having taken drugs, and insurance companies know this.
It's important to sit down and figure out how much auto insurance coverage you truly need. There are many different levels of coverage, and it can be confusing having to decide how much you need. Conversely, if you've historically had small accidents, it is probably in your best interest to pay the extra to ensure collisions are covered.
People with clean driving records, will pay the least in auto insurance premiums. Keep your record clear of tickets, moving violations, and accident reports if you want to lower your premium or keep it inexpensive. A single accident or ticket will likely increase the amount you have to pay.
There are many aspects of auto insurance which most people are completely unaware of, like the Group Automobiles scoring system. Check into this particular scoring system before you purchase a vehicle. You will find cars and trucks rated from 1 to 20. Purchasing the lower-rated automobiles on this list will allow you to save money.
There are many different types of auto insurance companies out there. Get quotes from all of them to find out what is the best price. Many companies now offer quotes online, over the phone, or you can go into any insurance agents office and make an appointment to go over your options.
Ask your insurance agent if your age can get you any discounts. Studies have shown that, much like fine wine, drivers tend to get better with age. Your insurance company may offer you a discount for being a long-term driver, giving you a discount each time you pass the age milestones they have set.
Every year when your automotive insurance is up for renewal, shop around to check that the premium being paid is still market competitive. There are an abundance of internet facilities available where you can enter the vehicle details online and immediately receive insurance quotes from various companies. This will confirm or deny that your current premium is realistic.
As stated before in this article, auto insurance is required by many states. Those who drive without auto insurance may face legal penalties, such as fines or jail. Choosing the right auto insurance for your needs may be hard, but with help from the tips in this article, it should be much easier to make that decision.

After explaining the history and future of the House of Israel, Jacob concludes his sermon by pleading to the people, with all his heart that they repent. Chapter 6 has some wonderful verses on repentance.
Their Own Place
Verse 3 reminds me of Alma's counsel to his son when he taught him that "all things shall be restored to their proper order" (Alma 41:4). He went on to instruct his son that "if their works are evil they shall be restored unto them for evil" (see Alma 41:2-6). Jacob teaches us that those who repent not in this life will be "cast out into their own place." What this means is that those who desire evil all the days of their life will remain on the earth and will be burned with the world when it burns with fire.
Repent With Full Purpose of Heart
Next in verse 5, Jacob implores, "I beseech of you in words of soberness that ye would repent, and come with full purpose of heart, and cleave unto God as he cleaveth unto you. And while his arm of mercy is extended towards you in the light of the day, harden not your hearts." Heavenly Father loves us so much, but he cannot force us to come unto Him. He will constantly "be there" for us, but we must choose to come back to him. We also cannot half-heartedly repent of our sins and turn to God. We must turn to him "with full purpose of heart." In other words, we must give all our heart, might, mind and soul.
My brother Richard spoke at my missionary farewell. In his talk he related a story about a feast a king held for his subjects. The king sent out invitations to all the people in the kingdom. Everyone was invited, but there was one stipulation that must be met before a person was allowed into the feast … every person must bring water. The king did not specify how much water a person should bring, but just that they needed to bring water. The day of the feast came and the people began to arrive. Every person admitted brought water … some brought the water in buckets, some in cups, some in thimbles and some in large barrels. The king's men took each container, dumped the water into a pool and admitted the guest. The people enjoyed a day of feasting and activities. At the end of the feast, the king stood and thanked his guests for attending his feast. He informed them that when they departed each of their containers would be returned to them … not empty, but full of gold, jewels and riches. Those that brought water in thimbles received a timble-sized portion of riches. Those that brought water in barrels received barrel-sized portions of riches.
And so it is with our allegiance and loyalty to God in His kingdom. The greater our loyalty and diligence in keeping the commandments and serving in his kingdom, the greater our reward (see Alma 41:15).
In Summary
In verses 11 and 12, Jacob effectively summarizes what every prophet has attempted to teach the people. He admonishes the Nephites to repent, enter in the gate and continue on until they've obtained eternal life. And then he succinctly teaches us to be wise.
