Finding new fun events around the Chicago area is always top on my to do list. As winter starts to set in the events start to become few and far between it seems. This week I discovered a new event that I'm so excited to attend this weekend!
December 2-4 the Lyceé Français de Chicago is holding their 12th annual French Market! You might not know this about me but I took French for 8 years, it was one of my minors and I love almost everything French and France related. So I am super stoked to attend. For the weekend the school is transformed into a Parisian Marché showcasing local and French artisan vendors, live music, and a family-run bistrot and patisserie.
For those who are still working on their holiday shopping the Market boasts 70 local and French artisan vendors selling goods that include apparel and accessories, jewelry, decorative art, fine wares, wood works, home décor, stationery, gourmet food, and more. I will definitely have to go shopping for my Christmas present for myself this weekend!
For those families who are looking to go, the Lyceé has partnered this year with Pickles Playroom to provide parents with a drop-off childcare option. For more details on this fantastic new benefit check out the website.
Don't those pastries look AMAZING!? I'm totally going for one of the Eiffel Tower pops if they're there this year. This awesome event is even more amazing since it's run almost entirely by the parents of students (almost 300 volunteers!). With that kind of support and hard work it's no surprise that this Market is celebrating it's 12th year and continues to be a great fundraiser for the school.
The market will be held at the Lycée Français de Chicago campus, 1929 W. Wilson Ave., Chicago, IL 60640. Street or paid garage parking is available (Ravenswood Garage, 4551 N Damen Ave, Chicago, IL 60640).

"Rest is not idleness,
and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day,
listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky,
is by no means a waste of time."
John Lubbock
As I mentioned in my last post, traveling is hard work... but man: when it just "works out" without much effort, it's fantastic. My friend Janet and her family were taking a trip to Cape May with her mom right while we were in the general eastern seaboard area. Last minute her mom wasn't able to make it (we missed you G-ma!) but we were able to stop in for a 48 hours and take a bed.
One of my favorite parts of the east coast is how much there is to it. I've lived here for over two decades, and grew up going to the teacher three hours away, but somehow this little gem of a town never made it into my life. Bethany and Fenwick and Rehobeth are magical in their own right, but Cape May just captured my heart. We can't wait to go back again! (Ps. If you ever do end up that way The Blue Pig Tavern (for breakfast, especially), Peace Pie (get either the coffee toffee caramel sandwich or the strawberry shortcake sandwich), Hot Dog Tommy's (their hot-dogs are wonderful, but I enjoyed the potato chip pepper tuna salad just as much) and The Red Store (farm to table and the bacon is literally called "bacon steak." It's so good.) are where you need to feed your body and soul.)
A few iPhone pictures because it's just so much easier to plop in your pocket...

3 Small-Cap Biotech Stocks to Buy if the Market Crashes
The Russell 2000 small-cap stock index is the most widely used proxy for small-cap stocks and the exchange traded fund that tracks that index has tumbled 11.6% this year. That's a frightening drop, but it's been proven time and time again that investing for the long haul outperforms jumping in and out of stocks in the short term, and that may mean that the Russell 2000's decline is creating a long haul opportunity in small-cap biotechnology stocks. If the index continues to fall, risk-tolerant investors may find that buying small-cap biotechnology companies is rewarding over the long term. With that in mind, here are three biotechs with promising research drug pipelines and experienced management teams that investors may want to consider.
1. Opthotech Corporation
Treating age-related macular edema and diabetic macular edema has created two multibillion-dollar blockbuster drugs. The first is Novartis' Lucentis, which is selling at a roughly $4 billion annual pace globally this year, and the second is Regeneron's Eylea, which is on pace to eclipse $2 billion in sales this year worldwide.
Rather than displace those two blockbuster treatments, Opthotech's Fovista is being designed for use alongside them. In phase 2 trials, patients receiving Fovista and Lucentis saw an improvement of 10.6 letters of vision at 24 weeks, compared to 6.5 letters for patients receiving Lucentis alone. Those results led to Opthotech kicking-off a phase 3 trial, but it also prompted Novartis to step-up and ink a blockbuster deal for Fovista's international rights, giving Opthotech $200 million in cash up front as part of an agreement that could be worth as much as $1 billion if Fovista ever makes it to market.
No one knows if Opthotech will remain independent, or seek a suitor, but it helps to know that this isn't the company's first rodeo. CEO David Guyer is the former founder and CEO of Eyetech Pharmaceuticals, a company that was sold to OSI Pharmaceuticals for nearly $1 billion in 2005.
2. Portola Pharmaceuticals
Factor Xa inhibiting drugs are casting aside decades of reliance on the anticoagulant warfarin, but one big hurdle remains. There's no reversal agent for them. That means that sales of Johnson & Johnson and Bayer's Xarelto and Bristol-Myers and Pfizer's Eliquis are only being prescribed for use in patients that are the least likely to have a bleeding episode. Portola may change that.
Portola is studying andexanet alpha in phase 3 trials as an antidote for factor Xa drugs and J&J and Bristol are impressed enough that they're helping Portola pay for the studies. Importantly, despite these big drugmakers picking up expenses, Portola hasn't given them any of its rights to sell the medicine. Also interesting is that Portola is developing its own factor Xa drug that could eventually compete with these drugmakers.
If Portola's antidote succeeds and its own factor Xa drug makes its way to market, it's conceivable that one of these large companies will look to acquire it. While that's a gamble, Portola's management team has a background that's rooted in big pharma. The company's CEO John Curnutte, was the president of Schering Plough Biopharma, which Merck bought for $41 billion back in 2009, and a former senior manager at Genentech, which was acquired by Roche for nearly $47 billion in 2009.
3. Insys Therapeutics
Medical marijuana is one of biotechnology's lightning rod topics, but finding medical marijuana biotech companies that don't have sky-high valuations is tough -- unless it's Insys.
Insys is conducting a slate of pre-clinical studies on the marijuana chemical cannibinoid CBD, including research into its use in both brain cancer and epilepsy. But Insys' attractiveness really stems from its profitability -- courtesy of its opioid drug, Subsys -- and its near-term opportunity is tied not to CBD, but the marijuana cannibinoid THC instead.
Subsys won FDA approval in 2012 as an alternative spray formulation of the opiate fentanyl, which is used to treat breakthrough cancer pain. Subsys advantages include working more quickly than other therapies and allowing for more precise dose adjustments. As a result, Subsys has captured more than a third of the market for fentanyl products, resulting in second-quarter sales of $55 million, up 195% from a year ago.
Insys hopes it can deliver similar success with dronabinol, a spray formulation of marinol, or THC, which is used to treat nausea in cancer patients and weight loss in HIV patients. Insys' management, which has a background in money management and venture capital, thinks that the company has a good shot at capturing a lion's share of the $150 million a year marinol market. And, since Insys has already proven itself with Subsys, investors might be right to give them the benefit of the doubt on dronabinol, too. But even if management isn't right, investors can still take solace in knowing that Insys is already making money, with EPS of $0.26 in the second quarter, and isn't too pricey, with a forward P/E ratio of just 21.
Even these three biotechs will be jealous of this coming blockbuster
The best biotech investors consistently reap gigantic profits by recognizing true potential earlier and more accurately than anyone else. Let me cut right to the chase. There is a product in development that will revolutionize not just how we treat a common chronic illness, but potentially the entire health industry.

Remarriage in Widowhood
Dear Dr. Bill,
I've been dating a woman who is a widow. Can you tell me anything about dating and perhaps marrying someone who has suffered the loss of a spouse? Most of the books and articles I've seen relate to remarriage after divorce. While some of the information seems relevant, I wonder if widowhood puts dating and remarriage in a different context, especially where there are preschool-age children involved. Do you have any advice about this?
Dear Kenny,
It's encouraging to hear that you're developing a relationship with this woman. My main advice to both of you is to take things slow. As you might expect, marrying a widow or a widower is much different from marrying someone who is divorced. There are far fewer complications, emotionally, financially, legally and spiritually.
However, it's important to understand that when someone divorces or loses a spouse, there can be a tendency to rush into a new relationship—the "rebound effect." This can cause significant problems down the line, as the person who has experienced the loss hasn't taken the time to grieve and heal.
Many marital experts recommend that widows and widowers shouldn't consider getting remarried for a minimum of one to two years after the loss of a spouse. Since you mention that the woman you're dating has pre-school aged kids, my guess is that she lost her husband fairly recently.
If so, I would encourage you to put the brakes on your relationship and keep it at the friendship level for a while. I'd also suggest you consult with your pastor or a Christian counselor about the dynamics involved.
Also, if you decide to move forward into engagement, let me recommend an excellent book for you to read. It's called "The Remarriage Checkup" by family therapist and remarriage expert Ron Deal.
Thanks for writing Kenny. If you have a question for me about family issues or Christian living, click the "Questions" link on the Family Expert page.

With the world becoming more internet-based, it should be obvious that most activities will have a technological influence involved. Along with the internet influencing day-to-day activities, some of the most fledgeling industries are being resurrected with the help of Internet-based capabilities. With such advancements, there is no better source to gain such insight from than Mr Jason Hope. Let's take a look at some of the fascinating details this man has unveiled to the world today regarding the wireless influence at large.
At the outset, the most soon to be resurrected industry due to the influence of the internet is the airline industry, Mr technology, Jason Hope who is a notable entrepreneur, has revealed some insightful ideas about how this is taking place. Safety is the number one concern within the aircraft industry and having the internet influence in calculating some of the smallest details of an aircraft engine. These details, most humans wouldn't be able to check, allows not only the pilot but the passengers as well an advantage and safety. Be it known that the mechanics are what sustains an aircraft maintenance, but having the luxury of a web-based engine monitor will make the job of the mechanic that much more effective.
With such technological advances and safety, one can only begin to imagine what will happen once the internet becomes more thoroughly involved with customer service at an airport. From the ability to have an easy check-in process, most air flight passengers will lose the sense of missing a flight. Along with the easy check-in experience will also lead to a more seamless baggage process.
Airport personnel presence, while going through baggage check, leaves a lot of passengers burdened with stress and anxiety due to the waiting period. Jason Hope let's us know that passengers will have the ability to check in for their flights and pass their baggage through checking all with improvements thanks to the internet and web-based technologies. This means that a passenger wouldn't have to worry about if their baggage is lost or if the wrong person picked up their baggage. With internet assistance, the passenger can now track and follow baggage with confidence.
As a man of innovation himself, Mr Jason Hope believes that sky's the limit when it comes to what the internet can do to ramp up the popularity of the airline industry. This is a brief overview of the elegance of matching web-based technology with industrial foundations.

Though the Pokemon GO app is sending both kids and adults onto their digital devices, old-fashioned book worms can still feel connected to the zeitgeist with the new 'GO boomarks' from MyBOOKmark. the four Pokemon-themed bookmarks are a cute way to mark one's place in a tome, making it look as though the cartoon characters (literally) have their heads stuck in a book.
The GO bookmarks series offers five bookmarks: Bookachu (based on Pikachu,) Shelfuirtle (Squirtle,) Charmarker (Charmander,) Pageowth (Meowth) and Nerdevee (Evee.) Beware that the bookmarks don't come with the upper halves of the characters they depict, just the lower halves that stick out of books.
In the same way that Pokemon GO uses the popular franchise to get kids active, the GO bookmarks use Pokemon to get kids reading.

About the artist
I was born on 11 March 1992 in a city of 80.000 inhabitants called Chervonograd, only 30 km away from Poland. Ukraine is my home country. My parents called me Oleksandr and my surname is Boyko, from my father, the only thing he ever gave me, since I was brought up my grandparents and my mother.
From an early age I started my artistic way. I loved drawing and craft classes. At school I was always drawing in class. At the age of 11 I started going to drawing and painting classes where I spent most of my spare time until my mother, who was then working in Spain, took me to live with her. I have now been living in Spain for a few years
In Spain I continued with my painting classes since I need to escape the emptiness, and I always felt the need to express myself through various artistic techniques. Later I studied design and photography at the Art School, and it was photography that had the biggest impression on me on an emotional and personal level. Only through photography do I find the emotional and artistic escape I need
My artistic name is Oleksandre McQuartz which comes from Alexander McQueen and Quartz, reflecting my desire to change my surname into something more spiritual and personal. I live surrounded by quartz. It is one of my many fixations. And now I am here undressing my soul in front of you through my photography.

The Cabaret Tropicana, is internationally known as 'a paradise under the stars'. It opened its doors in the distant year 1939 in the former grounds of Villa Mina, in the Havana neighborhood of Marianao, was since then identified by its large arched glass.
The Cabaret is located in a sort of forest with large trees like Palmas Real, mamoncillos, mangos, cedars and others. In addition, he gave his shows all enhancement with the best artists of the time. Acclaimed figures by the crowds as Nat King Cole, Josephine Baker, Libertad Lamarque, Cheo Feliciano, Rita Montaner, Elena Burke, and Snowball, among others, have been part of the large cast of starry nights of Tropicana, which has not stopped for a moment to offer national and universal art.
Its main hall can accommodate a thousand people spread around the stage or moving track, surrounded by palm trees and air ramps used by artists in the show. The shows tend to compromise the participation of hundreds of artists between dancers and musicians.
For those who prefer more at ease Tropicana environments has other spaces, restaurant Los Jardines and the bohemian Café Rodney, among others; but nothing comparable to the Great Hall Under the Stars, one of the most legendary sites of Havana.
Identifying symbol of this Havana cabaret it is a sculpture of a dancer in 1950 by the Cuban artist Rita Longa, and to a lesser extent it is also the source of the Muses, the Italian artist Aldo Gamba, installed in 1952 at the entrance of cabaret.
In 1992 the American Academy of Restaurant Industry gave Tropicana Award Best of the Five Stars Diamond the best cabaret of the Americas, not just the class of this habanero symbol recognized, but paid tribute to its rich history over half a century, at the time.
In the Hall under the stars, the cast of Tropicana has always been the falling of the stars at night to give art born from within, that over time, leaves an indelible mark on the genuine hearts.

Dancing Queens: The Contra Dancer
Megan North Shuford, 28
Social worker, Knoxville, Tenn.
Dancing is something that Megan started doing as a teen with her friendsjust a simple free-form style. Since then it's been a high for her, a spiritual release, a way to blow off steam. Last fall, she ventured into a new kind of dance: contra dancing. Sort of like square dancing minus the square, couples move up and down facing lines to a caller's chant. "I love the energy and connection people can create togetherand I've met great friends," Megan says. "It's opened me to couple dancing."
She also is more relaxed and feels less of a need to always be in control. "Before, I didn't want some dude telling my body where to go. But now, I'm learning how to follow." Megan dances once a week, 3 hours at a timeand keeps up the footwork at both home and work, bounding up stairs and stepping in circles while she waits for her lunch to heat. The result: more energy, more confidence, and 7 pounds lost. She's also started fiddling. "I want to understand how music and dance are put together, how it really works," Megan says. "When I'm dancing, I feel the absolute joy of being alive. I feel whole."

Family reunited with lost heirloom cane
It made Cynthia Murphy Watson's Christmas when she learned that her mother's hand-carved cane had not been stolen like she feared, but had in fact been sitting in the Veterans Affairs clinic in Conroe for more than a year.
"It feels wonderful to get this piece of my momma (back), something of hers to hold onto," Watson said. "It feels like momma's still around."
The Courier was able to locate Watson, who picked up the cane in time for Christmas Thursday.
Watson said when she noticed the cane missing, she looked everywhere for it, but her search came up empty.
"The cane is part of the family, and when I couldn't find it, I thought maybe somebody had stolen it," Watson said. "We had no idea, I looked all over, I looked through the house, through all her stuff and I went through it again and again."
The cane had belonged to Watson's mother Ruby Lee Bell, and had been carved from a yucca plant by Watson's eldest brother, Odis Murphy, as a Mother's Day present in 2002. Bell died in October 2010, and after that, Watson lent the cane to her sister-in-law.
"I had let my sister-in-law use it because she was having trouble walking," Watson said. "...She said, 'I don't know, I can't find it,' and I got all upset. I hadn't seen it since then."
The cane had been left in the VA clinic's old offices on Riverwood Court, where it was discovered by a nurse. Pedro Leon, nurse manager, said Clinic Director Dr. Jason Biscamp had been trying to locate the owner ever since.
"Just because it had so much stuff attached to it, signed on it, he put it in his office and he just held onto it and he figured someone would show up to get it," Leon said. "Nobody ever came by; so, after a while ... somebody started going through all the names and phone numbers and calling."
Carved into the cane are the first names and birth years of Bell's 10 children: Odis, Harvey, Ruby Ann, John, Thel (Thelbert), Cynthia, Mable, Revis Lee, Oscar, and Ellen Bell, as well as Bell's residence in Houston and a phone number, which, according to Leon, had been disconnected.
When the clinic moved to its new location on Loop 336 South, Biscamp brought the cane along too.
"He put it in the lobby right in front of the elevators," Leon said. "He figured anyone stepping off the elevator coming to the clinic might see it and recognize it."
Staff members, including nurse Malinda Young, have taken a crack at solving the mystery, searching in VA records at first, thinking the person who left it was a patient, and then on the internet.
"I tried the White Pages on the internet, looking up people's names," Young said. "I tried the phone number and they had been disconnected and then I went and searched the names and nothing really matched to even call somebody."
A search for Ruby Lee Bell produced an obituary from Dignity Memorial's Brookside Funeral Home, providing the full names of the children.
The funeral home contacted Watson, who was overjoyed to learn her mother's cane had been found.
Watson described her mother as "independent," "a unique woman," and a person who would help anyone and do anything for her family.
"She spoke five different languages, and graduated two years early; when she developed Alzheimer's, it broke my heart," Watson said.
In the years since Bell's death, the holidays have been hard on the close-knit family, who would all go visit Bell after opening their presents Christmas morning.
Getting the cane back was the best Christmas present she could ever have received, Watson said.
"I appreciate it so much," she said. "I thought I lost it for good. You have no idea what this means to me."

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins made the first move to
keep their core group of young players together, reaching terms
Sunday with restricted free agent defenseman Ryan Whitney on a $24
million, six-year contract that will pay him most of his money at
the end of the deal.
Ryan Whitney
Pittsburgh Penguins
Whitney is to make $2.5 million in the 2007-08 season, with his
salary rising from there. By backloading the contract, the Penguins
improve their ability to re-sign stars Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin
and Jordan Staal before they become free agents in five or six
years, yet stay under the salary cap.
Giving Whitney a six-year contract assures the Penguins of
keeping him for at least one season past when he would have become
eligible for free agency.
Whitney finished sixth among NHL defensemen with 59 points (14
goals, 45 assists) last season, and has 20 goals and 77 assists in
149 career games. Whitney and Sergei Gonchar give the Penguins two
of the NHL's top offensive defensemen, with Gonchar getting 13
goals and 54 assists last season. Gonchar has three seasons
remaining on his $25 million, five-year deal.
With rookie defenseman Kris Letang apparently ready to play in
the NHL after getting a brief trial at the start of last season,
the Penguins would like to add another veteran defenseman who
doesn't need to score a lot. Among those on the market is Detroit's
Danny Markov.
The Penguins also reportedly agreed to two-year deals with forward
Petr Sykora and defenseman Darryl Sydor.
With Crosby winning the NHL scoring title and MVP award last
season, and Malkin and Staal enjoying excellent rookie seasons, the
Penguins made the playoffs for the first time since 2001. They won
47 games after winning only 22 in 2005-06, the fourth best
turnaround in NHL history.
Whitney had left wrist surgery in April but is expected to be
ready for the start of training camp in September.

Our Business Council Team meets once a month in the Guthrie Chamber Board Room. One of the goals before leaving the meeting is to come up with tips that we can share with all of our Guthrie Chamber Investors.
At our last meeting we came up with 5 tips to share with you:
- Stay open late for the holidays if you're a retail business or restaurant.
- Diversity your advertisement dollars i.e. use social media, print and maybe billboards.
- Partner with other Chamber Investors to help promote shopping local.
- Go shop and visit other local businesses and organizations to stay informed with what's available in your community. This way you will be able to assist your customers beyond your business.

For full head coverage, we recommend two (2) packs of hair. For lengths 18″ and longer, we recommend at least 3 packs.
You can wash, use low heat, style, swim, workout, dye or bleach our virgin natural hair color. Do not bleach or color #1b hair, hair that has already been dyed. Do not apply products with alcohol, heavy oils or clarifying agents. Do not allow product build-up.
PS Hair™ is masterfully crafted. It is not necessary to seal your wefts but doing so may increase longevity. We do not recommend splitting hair wefts or using adhesives. You should also minimize cutting the wefts during installation by using the fold over method. And remember, the older our hair textures get, the better they will look!
Always use a high-quality moisturizing shampoo and a high-quality moisturizing conditioner to wash your hair pieces. We recommend that you limit or do not use leave-in conditioner on your hair extensions. Over conditioning causes the hair to dry out and perform poorly.
Do's and Dont's
- Do not apply oils, alcohol or clarifying products.
- Do not sleep on wet hair.
- Do not allow product build-up.
- Do not over process virgin hair. Never process colored hair.
- Only use a wide tooth comb or brush. Never brush dry hair.
- Only comb or brush hair extensions while wet. First, apply a 50/50 mix of creme conditioner and water and gently detangle from the ends to the weft.
- Moisturize hair after being exposed to extreme heat, humidity or heavy rain.
- Apply a generous amount of a wash-out creme conditioner to damp hair extensions prior to swimming. This will help to protect the hair from matting and will keep your curls popping! Always wash chlorine and salt water from your hair and hair extensions immediately after swimming with a moisturizing mild shampoo followed by a moisturizing conditioner.
- Always secure your hair before sleeping in at least 5 large braids. Be sure to detangle before braiding.
- Although you can apply heat to our curly virgin hair textures,we do not recommend doing so. Please be aware that you risk your curls not reverting as tightly as you may like.
- Do not attempt to get your natural textured hair extensions to shine or have high luser. Low luster is the hallmark of some Type 3 curls and all Type 4 coils.
1. How many packs of hair comes in one bundle or one clip-in set?
You will receive one pack of hair or clip-set per unit price. We do not offer "bundle deals".
2. How many packs of hair do I need for a full head?
We recommend at least two (2) packs of hair extensions for most installs up to 16″. 18″ and longer may require more bundles depending on your desired hairstyle. We do not recommend splitting PS Hair wefts.
3. How is PS Hair hair measured?
All PS Hair is measured when the hair is pulled straight.
4. I've heard that PS Hair lasts for years. Is that really true?
Private Stock Hair longevity depends on individual hair care. Real customers, however, report reusing their PS Hair anywhere between their purchase to over two years. To date, the longest confirmed customer longevity report is 3.3 years of slaying our hair extensions! Follow us on Instagram for the latest reports!
5. Is PS Hair 100% virgin human hair?
PS Hair may be purchased as 100% virgin human hair or 100% Remy human hair. Our curly and kinky curl textures are all patterned with gentle steam. Virgin hair is chemical free and can be colored or bleached at home. Remy hair is virgin hair that has been dyed at our factory. Our factory color (dye) is permanent. We do not recommend that your dye or bleach colored hair. Doing so will not produce the desired result.
6. Will Remy hair last as long as virgin hair?
Typically, virgin hair will last longer than Remy hair because it has not been exposed to chemicals.
7. When I received my bundles they were very curly, wavy and had a sheen to it. Why doesn't the hair look textured kinky curly?
No worries! You are looking at the factory pattern of the hair. Your PS Hair is expected to take on its actual texture after installation. All purchases are final and/or may not be exchanged if you alter the hair in any way from its original new condition. This includes wetting the hair. Please contact us immediately if you have a texture concern.
8. Why does my hair look so dry, big and unmanageable after only a few days of wearing it?
PS Hair is specifically designed to closely resemble and take on most characteristics of actual type 4 hair. Your PS Hair just likely needs to be revived. You either have too much product, not enough product or in need of a moisturizing shampoo or moisturizing conditioner. It takes time to develop a hair care routine with this magnificent texture. Please visit Hair Care for more information. Still, have questions? Shoot us an email and we will happily guide you back on track!
9. I'm walking around with a hot mess birds nest of clumpy and big hair! Is it damaged? What can I do about this?
We understand your distress and we are here for you! Your hair is probably not damaged and may simply need to be revived with a moisturizing co-wash to detangle the hair, perhaps a mild moisturizing shampoo to remove any build-up and you've got your life back! Please see our FAQ > Quick Tips for a possible remedy or contact us for assistance. You may also view or download our PS Hair Care Guide from the link at the bottom of your order confirmation or visit our online resource -Hair Care.
10. How can the same hair texture look so different on other women?
That's simple! It's just a matter of styling preference, product selection, and/or product to water ratio. Express yourself and don't forget to send us your selfies! (email@example.com)
11. Can I swim and workout in my PS hair?
Yes! We hear you. You want to look as good coming out of the water as you did going in… Visit our Hair Care page for tips on washing your extensions. Psst! Quick tip: Before swimming coat your extensions in a creme wash-out moisturizing conditioner and rinse out afterward. You may need a mild moisturizing shampoo to remove any chlorine of saltwater from your curls as well.
12. How much shrinkage can I expect from your kinky curly PS Hair?
Depending on the hair texture you may notice approximately a 2" to 4" amount of shrinkage.
13. What weight is your hair?
PS Hair is sold in approximately 4 oz. Our clip in extensions, however, can be purchased in 2 oz., 4 oz., or 6 oz. bundles.
14. What is the natural color of your virgin hair? Do I have a choice of natural hair color?
Our virgin hair is generally a medium to dark brown. You cannot request a specific natural hair color. We will pair hairpieces to their closest match. We recommend that you order your hair pieces at the same time.
15. What origin is PS Hair?
We source our hair from South America.
Shipping times vary depending on volume. Please review current processing and full policies here before ordering.

text: Blood supplies across the country remain at dangerously low levels after a severe decline in blood donations leading up to and following the July 4th holiday. In an effort to rebuild supplies and be prepared for unexpected events, LifeSource is calling on the community to come forward and give blood this week and throughout the remainder of the summer. Over the past few weeks, LifeSource has seen less than a three day supply in critical blood types such as O-negative and O-positive. Donations from O-negative donors, the universal blood type, are especially important this time of year due to increased accidents and trauma cases. Additionally, platelet donations, which have a shelf-life of only five days, are in high demand after a slow holiday week. However, donors of all types are needed. LifeSource urges both first-time donors and existing donors of all blood types to visit LifeSource.org or call (877) 543-3768 to schedule an appointment to donate. Through Sunday, July 16th, all LifeSource community donor centers will be open extended hours to accommodate more donors. Visit http://www.lifesource.org/donate-blood/where-to-donate/ to find your nearest donor center or a mobile blood drive happening near you. Walk-ins are welcome at any of our locations.

Student Activism and Prevention Initiatives
What will it take to create safe schools for all students? How can we hold educational institutions - and the systems they work with - accountable for adopting and implementing strong sexual assault policies and prevention programming? Is there a role for school alumnae?
JDI and our member programs support student activism and collaborate with both students and administrators to address these issues. JDI's statewide Massachusetts White Ribbon Day Camapign is one way we engage campuses to shift the norms that foster and support rape culture. Here are some national and Massachusetts resources.
It's On Us
Created by The White House (2014) to change the culture around campus sexual assault, this campaign focuses on inviting people to take a pledge to be an active bystander in this work. The website contains tips for preventing sexual assault and videos from celebrities and laypeople.
Know Your IX
Started by students, this national survivor-run, student-driven activist organization has created a network of survivors and concerned students working to end campus sexual violence, improving campus responses and state and federal laws regarding sexual violence, and educating students about their civil rights and empowering them to take action for safety and equality on campus.
Love is Respect
Loveisrespect's mission is to engage, educate and empower young people to prevent and end abusive relationships. Highly-trained peer advocates offer support, information and advocacy to young people who have questions or concerns about their dating relationships. They also provide information and support to concerned friends and family members, teachers, counselors, service providers and members of law enforcement. Free and confidential phone, live chat and texting services are available 24-hours a day every day of the year.
Men Can Stop Rape
Men Can STOP Rape provides specialized training to equip professionals with the skills necessary to engage men in the primary prevention of gender-based violence. The program, "Comprehensive Initiative to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking" on Campus Program is designed to teach participants about the relationship between healthy masculinity and violence prevention.
The Center for the Study of Sport in Society at Northeastern University offers two innovative programs that address violence prevention using the Bystander Approach: Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) and Project Teamwork (PTW). MVP is a member program of Jane Doe Inc.
Created by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC), this website includes a toolkit for advocates, campus personnel, students and allies. You'll find fact sheets, action steps, brochures, posters, videos and more.
Started by Columbia University students in 2000, SAFER facilitates student-led organizing through a comprehensive training manual; in-person workshops and trainings; free follow-up mentoring; a Campus Sexual Assault Policies Database; and a growing online resource library and network for student organizers.

I installed Midnight Commander and tried to change the colour scheme, but unfortunately, it doesn't apply the
~/.mc/ini file.
It's Midnight Commander 4.8.1, on Ubuntu 12.04. When I installed it, it didn't have the
.mc folder, so I had to create it first. I've searched the internet and found nothing useful.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?

(Updates with analyst's comment in fourth paragraph.)
Sept. 5 (Bloomberg) -- L Brands Inc., which owns Victoria's Secret and has powered through a choppy economy, reported August same-store sales that narrowly missed estimates, the latest evidence of weakness among U.S. apparel chains.
Sales at L Brands stores open at least 12 months rose 2 percent, compared with a predicted gain of 2.1 percent. Teen chain The Buckle Inc. posted an increase of 1 percent, just surpassing analysts' estimates for a gain of 0.6 percent.
The results come after retailers from Macy's Inc. to Wal- Mart Stores Inc. missed second-quarter sales estimates and cut forecasts. Retailers also had a sluggish start to the back-to- school shopping season in July. The chains reporting August sales today have done little to buck that trend, which may continue into the holiday shopping season, the largest spending period of the year.
"There has been a shift away from spending on apparel and other discretionary items and a shift toward purchases of homes and automobiles," Jennifer Davis, an analyst with Lazard Capital Markets in New York, said in a phone interview today. "The consumer is feeling better and is willing to make larger item purchases but that leaves them with less money in their wallet to spend on other things. The items you can live without, people are living without."

Many Americans are eager to replace cars after postponing such purchases for years. The U.S. auto sector posted August sales results that exceeded already rosy estimates, with a total surpassing any month in more than six years and the fastest sales rate since 2007. Consumers' spending on home-related products also lifted sales for both Home Depot Inc. and Lowe's Cos.
L Brands declined 1.9 percent to $57.06 at 2:48 p.m. in New York. The Buckle fell 0.9 percent to $51.86.
August same-store sales for the more than 10 companies tracked by Swampscott, Massachusetts-based Retail Metrics rose 3.8 percent. While that surpassed analysts' projections for a gain of 3.2 percent, the results were bolstered by a strong showing by Costco Wholesale Corp. and Walgreen Co. Gap Inc., the largest U.S. specialty apparel retailer, is scheduled to report after U.S. markets close.
Anemic Sales
"Back-to-school so far is anemic at best," Adrienne Tennant, an analyst at Janney Montgomery Scott LLC said in a conference call with clients before the results. "That usually has had a high correlation with holiday" sales.
A year ago, shoppers ignored economic headwinds and helped push retailers to a same-store sales gain of 5.9 percent. Back then 20 companies reported. Since then half have dropped out, saying they would rather focus on quarterly rather than monthly results, which can be volatile.
Most chains tally same-store sales using locations open at least a year, making the figure a closely watched gauge of a retailer's health because it tracks only established stores.
This year, U.S. households are planning to shell out an average of 7.8 percent less for back-to-school shopping because of the bumpy economic recovery, the National Retail Federation estimated. Store traffic has fallen in nine of the past 11 weeks, though the declines moderated in the week ended Aug. 31, according to ShopperTrak, a Chicago-based research firm.
Francesca's Holdings Corp., the operator of women's boutiques, reduced its full-year profit forecast yesterday after same-store sales in the second quarter fell 1 percent because of lower levels of store visits that will continue.
Teen Chains
Teen chains such as Abercrombie & Fitch Co. and Aeropostale Inc. also painted a bleak picture last month after earnings and sales in the second quarter trailed analysts' estimates. Aeropostale also said it would be closing more stores than it previously indicated and Abercrombie's third-quarter forecast for earnings per share was less than half of what analysts projected. Neither retailer reports monthly sales.
"We've definitely seen more weakness in the teen space," Davis said. "Part of it is due to Mom has less money that she is willing to spend on teens. Part of that is also due to lack of a meaningful fashion trend."
Sales may pick up this month as teens who waited for school to start to see what their friends are wearing return to the malls, Tennant said in a note to clients on Aug. 29. To entice shoppers, retailers are offering discounts of as much as 50 percent.
"Promotions were aggressive across the mall, particularly over Labor Day weekend, raising concerns about margin pressure for retailers' third-quarter earnings," said Ken Perkins, president of Retail Metrics in an e-mailed statement. "We may see stepped up discounting as these retailers are forced to compete even harder for a limited pool of consumer discretionary dollars."

Campaign for Dark Skies
Campaign for Dark Skies, sometimes also known as CfDS, is a forum, run by astronomers in the UK in support of ensuring that anyone can find places to go to, in order to be able to view the Milky Way and other aspects of our Night Skies, free from the problems caused by unnecessary or overuse of artificial lighting, in town centres as well as out-of-town developments.
If you have never been to a place where there is little or no light pollution you cannot fully appreciate just what can be seen of our own galaxy - and you don't need a telescope to view it - if you know where to go.
CfDS is all about outreach activities to show what can be done to preserve our views of the night skies.
Currently CfDS is supporting an e-petition to make the government fully away of what might be lost in places where such light-polluting developments take place without thought for the less-well-known impact of out-of-town shopping centres and other leisure complexes.
To find out more please view the e-petition here....

Mission & Goals
"The Teams of Our Lady have as their essential aim to help couples to strive after holiness – no more, no less." – Father Henri Caffarel
The aim of the movement is to help couples to live fully their sacrament of marriage.
The Teams of Our Lady exist in order to help couples discover the riches of the sacrament of marriage and to live out a married spirituality. Through their example, these couples are witnesses of Christian marriage in the Church and in the world.
The Teams of Our Lady is a movement of married spirituality in the Catholic Church and is composed of couples who believe in the ideal of Christian marriage and who want:
- to remain faithful to their baptismal promises,
- to place Christ at the heart of their life,
- to base their married and family life on the Gospel,
- to seek to know better the will of God for man and woman in order to fulfill it,
- to bear witness to the love of God by their life,
- to bring the message of Christ to the world,
- to bear witness to Christian values in their social and working life,
- to give active support to the Church, to the bishops and to the clergy,
- to make their activities a collaboration with God and a service to others,
- to promote marriage and family life in society.
Members of Teams of Our Lady unite and place themselves under the patronage of Mary the Mother of God in bearing witness to the richness of the sacrament of marriage and their Christian married spirituality in the Church and in their communities.

Conservative website wrong on effects, purpose of UN conference
A conservative website falsely claimed that U.S. representatives to the United Nations promised to push for gun-control policies at home.
"US representatives promise implement of UN gun-control plans," said a July 5, 2018, headline from the Conservative Daily Post website. The report cited a similar story from the New American, a bimonthly magazine for "freedom-loving Americans" who support "limited government under the Constitution," according to its about page.
Facebook flagged this story as part of its efforts to combat false news and misinformation on Facebook's News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)
This is not the first time we have encountered falsehoods concerning the U.N. and gun control. We previously looked at the claim that a U.N. treaty would mandate a "new international gun registry" and a chain email that wrongly accused the Obama administration of planning to use international treaties to ban all weapons.
As with these past statements, there is also a lot wrong with this new report about the U.N. conference.
The report said U.S. representatives attending the Third Review Conference for the June 2018 U.N. Program of Action on Small Arms and Light Weapons agreed "to begin developing 'legal frameworks' … that will enforce 'proper management' of 'small arms and light weapons' stockpiles."
The report went on to say, misleadingly, that the United States pledged to help the U.N. track and confiscate firearms, including stockpiles owned by private citizens.
"In other words, the United States government is expected to help push an absurdly anti-Second Amendment set of demands on the American people," the story said. "If they don't push that set of rules upon the people swiftly enough, then the U.N. will decide if it wants to send armed peacekeepers to the nation or not. This agreement is wildly unconstitutional."
Citing six points spelled out in the "implementation at the national level" section of the conference's outcome document, the story said the meeting resulted in the United States' willing violation of Second and Tenth Amendment rights.
But the story erred in its understanding of the conference. In reality, the conference provided an opportunity for participating countries to review their progress and reaffirm a commitment made in 2001 to limit the illicit trade of small arms and light weapons.
According to the website for the U.N. Office of Disarmament Affairs, the original meeting in 2001 saw governments agree "to improve national small arms laws, import/export controls, and stockpile management — and to engage in cooperation and assistance."
Nikki Haley, the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., attended this year's conference along with several advisers, according to the U.N.'s list of participants. The State Department and the U.N. Office for Disarmament Affairs did not respond to requests for comment on the role of U.S. representatives at the conference.
Caroline Dorminey, a policy analyst with the Cato Institute and an expert with the Forum on the Arms Trade, explained that the U.N. program focuses on the illegal flow of small arms and light weapons, meaning any subsequent measures enacted by the United States would not violate Second or Tenth Amendment rights.
"The purpose of the Third Review Conference is to make progress on stopping the illicit trade of small arms and light weapons," Dorminey wrote in an email. "The trade being targeted in particular is dispersion/diversion — especially across borders — that fuels black markets and conflict in unstable regions."
"Any measures enacted by the UN program would not infringe on Second or Tenth Amendment rights because they are inherently focused on illicit trade — not the legal trade within American borders that those amendments provide the basis for."
Conservative Daily Post did not respond to a request for comment submitted via its contact page.
A headline stated, "US representatives promise implement of UN gun-control plans."
The story said U.S. representatives at a U.N. conference pledged to adopt new gun-control measures that would threaten Second and Tenth Amendment rights.
U.S. representatives at the conference did reaffirm the nation's agreement in 2001 to work toward limiting the illicit international trade of small arms and light weapons. But the United States' continued participation in such an agreement should have no effect on its citizens' constitutional rights, given the focus on illegal actions in global trade.
We rate this statement Mostly False.

Goals are at the heart of FIFA.com's latest stats review, which features an overabundance at Ajax Lasnamae, a shortage in Cesena and plenty from the in-form trio of Demba Ba, Fernando Cavenaghi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
goals conceded over 36 matches have left Estonia's Ajax Lasnamae just six short of an unwanted European record. The Meistriliiga's whipping boys finished their league campaign on Sunday with a goal difference of -181, without a single win all season, and having scored in just one of their final 14 fixtures. However, while they drop to the second tier having conceded an average of 5.3 goals per game, the Lasnamae outfit's goals against tally was still six short of the 198 conceded by Bosnia-Herzegovina's Derzelez Zenica in 2000/01. As for the other end of the Meistriliiga table, defending champions Flora Tallinn claimed a ninth Estonian title, equalling the record haul of Sport Tallinn, who amassed every one of their championships between 1921 and 1933.
Premier League matches without defeat represents Newcastle United's longest unbeaten run in the English top flight since 1951. The surprise sequence has taken the Magpies up to third, with over six months having now passed since they last tasted league defeat. The star of their unlikely rise has been Demba Ba, who has already become the first Newcastle player since Andy Cole to score multiple league hat-tricks in a single season – a feat that not even Alan Shearer managed during his time on Tyneside. The Senegalese striker has proved to be one of the Premier League's most prolific predators since moving to West Ham United from Hoffenheim last season, accruing 15 goals in 18 starts for his two English clubs. Poor Wes Brown, at Newcastle's north-east rivals Sunderland, can only dream of such figures. Putting through his own net against former club Manchester United on Saturday means that the centre-half now has more own goals (4) to his name than goals (3).
goals were scored by Fernando Cavenaghi in a 4-1 win at Gimnasia de Jujuy on Saturday that took River Plate back to the summit of Argentina's Nacional B. It was the first time in over nine-and-a-half years that a Millonarios player had struck four times in a single match and, incidentally, Cavenaghi was also a prominent figure on that occasion. The 28-year-old, who enjoyed stints with Spartak Moscow, Bordeaux, Real Mallorca and Internacional in between his two spells at River, found the net twice in a 6-0 win over Union de Santa Fe in February 2002, while Ariel Ortega scored the remaining four. Cavenaghi's latest goals took him to the top of the second tier scoring chart and kept River firmly on course to claim one of two promotion slots, and a return to the top flight at the first time of asking.
hat-tricks in the first 11 matches of a Spanish league campaign is a feat that, before Sunday, had never been achieved. Cristiano Ronaldo was the man to rewrite history, adding his latest treble of another prolific season in Real Madrid's 7-1 victory over Osasuna. Earlier in the week, the former Manchester United star had scored the 100th goal of his Real career in a 2-0 win over Lyon, having earlier notched the club's 900th goal in European competition – 56 years on from Miguel Munoz grabbing their first on 8 September 1955. Seeing off Les Gones guaranteed Real's place in the last 16, with Jose Mourinho's side becoming just the third team – after Juventus in 2004/05 and Lyon themselves in 2006/07 – to qualify with four wins from four and no goals conceded. Ronaldo's Merengue tally, meanwhile, now stands at 103 goals from 106 appearances, with only Puskas having completed a Real century in fewer appearances (101).
goal in their last seven matches, and that from the penalty spot, has left Cesena rooted to foot of the Serie A table with one of the worst scoring records in the league's history. Indeed, only one team in the Italian top flight – Mantova in season 1964/65 – have scored fewer goals after ten matches than Cesena's three so far. I Cavallucci Marini are the only Serie A side yet to register a win this season, with their latest defeat having come at the hands of a Lecce side who were without a victory in their previous seven matches. Elsewhere, Udinese maintained their 100 per cent home record, although goalkeeper Samir Handanovic saw his run of 478 minutes without conceding brought to an end in the leaders' 2-1 win over Siena.

A couple of weeks ago I drove around the corner from the office to visit with the volunteer group from Pennsylvania that was working on one of our houses. What I witnessed left me speechless, as I saw not only the volunteers hard at work, but countless residents working on their own properties. In 13 years of this work I had yet to see what I saw that day. Let me elaborate just a bit as its so fresh in my mind. One of our tenants was busy landscaping her property, she takes great pride in her work, and rightfully so as her home looks beautiful enough to receive an award.
City trucks were busy repaving Cushing Street, the THIRD street to be repaved in recent weeks. Down the street, more city trucks were demolishing houses that we had lobbied for many months to have removed. And, of course, the big buzz in the neighborhood is about the community park and the new Early Childhood Education center opening August 6th
A few houses down Eastburn there was a man sitting on his porch waving at me while beaming with excitement. I waved back while yelling "lots going on today" over noise. He then pointed to the sky and said "I guess blessings are raining down from above". He then went to visit with another cheerful neighbor a few houses away. As I looked up and down this block, I realized that the reason the residents were all so joyful was because their common vision was being realized. These people stuck it out through the worst of times in this community, and now were seeing the fruit of their perseverance. These people are my heroes.
Just a few minutes later a man was driving by, he stopped to ask if we had any homes for sale because this was a community he wants to be a part of. The neighborhood is looking so incredible these days it is quite apparent that something is happening here that can't be explained apart from God.
Hope in our case looks as simple as a smile, sounds like praise to the Lord for all He is doing, and is manifested in residents beginning to participate in the great work God has started.
God is revealing Himself in countless ways. With God all things are possible. Today's Regent Park is a testimony to God's love and wonder working power in the face of what seemed like impossible odds.
"lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." Psalm 121:1

I'm a writer and photographer. This space is where I muse about travel, home, and creativity.
I was born in Australia, and raised there and in Canada. In the last ten years I've lived in four Canadian cities, two Australian ones, three in Japan, and in Oxford twice, which is where I'm now based. I consequently often feel like I'm a long way from home.
I write and shoot a combination of travel and human rights, which are indeed as opposed as they sound. I'm also increasingly interested in capturing images of landscapes and environments.
