Snapr is a cool mobile photo-sharing platform. Recently included in our recent round up of the best photo-sharing apps on the Android Market, Snapr deserves a closer look.
The app lets you take and share pictures both on the Snapr platform and via Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Foursquare, so it has a really strong social element to it. It's easy to use, features a superb user interface and is completely free to download. Read on for more information about this exciting and intuitive photography app…
One of the things I look for in a good application is smart user interface. If I'm going to use a service, invite friends to it, upload pictures, share the things I see and do, and generally spending a lot of time with it, it needs to have a decent UI.
For me, Snapr really delivers here. The design is quite simple but highly polished and very smooth. Using the features of the application, exploring it's menus, dashboards, streams and profiles is a genuinely positive and intuitive experience. The navigation between screens is responsive and fast, it doesn't leave you hanging with tiresome loading screens, it just lets you use the app without interruption.
On top of all that, the way that Snapr presents pictures is gorgeous. It gives as much detail as possible, and lets the photos do the talking, giving them the almost-full-screen treatment they deserve. Obviously content is down to users, but there is also a big draw here: the photos are typically lush and impressive. It's just a beautiful and fun app to use and interact with.
Snapr places strong focus on location. The app can take note of your location when you take pictures, ultimately creating an global atlas of shared content. This grand map of recently taken photos can be viewed through the app itself via the 'Map' section, or online, where it delivers a full screen of user activity and cool photos.
There is also a section titled 'Cities', which shows the best shots from different cities around the world: New York, London, San Francisco, Paris, L.A., Tokyo, Berlin, Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland. What a cooler way to explore a potential holiday destination that flicking through delicious pics from the locals?
The app's powerful search function lets you search by tags and by location. So, pop in the name of a town or city you're interested in and it'll give you a map-view of that location along with photos from that place. It's blisteringly fast too, and feels very responsive – no waiting around for minutes at a time for maps to load.
Social Network
If you are starting to think Snapr is solely about location, you'd be mistaken. There is a huge social element to the app.
Firstly it lets you share your pics via most of the big social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and Tumblr. This is, of course, in addition to posting it to the Snapr site itself, its own unique and polished platform.
Under the hood, it gets even better…
Snapr could practically be considered a social network in its own right. It has a real community feel and there's lots to explore and interact with. With the photos themselves you can like and comment (or flag if need be). You can follow other users and be followed, gathering friends and people to share with as you go along.
It doesn't stop there either. With the Likes system, photos are sorted into the most popular by Day, Week and All Time. This all makes for a rewarding and immersive experience with plenty of social interaction potential.
How Does Snapr Compare?
There is already a variety of photo-sharing apps on the Android Market, so how does Snapr fit in?
Snapr places a lot of emphasis on social interaction, so it compares well to the friendlier end of the photo-sharing spectrum alongside apps like Streamzoo. But it's also focused on the locations and geography of the pics you share, which aligns it with newer apps such as Trover.
The app itself is also unmistakably lush to use, which reminds me of Lightbox. So in many ways it has the best features of similar apps, which is a really big win for the user. However, Snapr isn't quite perfect…
Small Issues
Snapr suffers from a couple of very small niggles, one of which you'd expect from a new service and the other which can probably be rectified relatively quickly.
At the time of writing, the app has only been on the Market for about six weeks. This means the user base is still relatively small, and photos are few and far between. So, while the app is rich with potential, it's perhaps not as rewarding socially as apps with bigger user numbers such as Streamzoo. While it goes some way to make up for this in terms of its other features, users might have to wait until the service picks up momentum and popularity to get the best from it.
Secondly is the issue with geo-location. Now, this only happened occasionally while I was testing the app, but it had a niggling habit of not picking up my location in some of the most interesting spots I visited! There seemed to be no obvious reason why – other services found me in exactly the same place – and there is no means inside the app to nudge the locator to find you. This is a little frustrating, but thankfully uncommon.
Snapr is a superb photo-sharing platform that deserves to grow in popularity. It blends great UI, social networking and geo-location tools into a service that is brilliant for mobile devices. It makes sharing pictures both fun and intuitive and provides an interesting mix of pictures from across the world that can all be explored. It's not without its faults, but with some tweaking and popularity growth it could become a superb and essential platform. Definitely worth checking out.

From the infamous Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte chain and leather strapped heels (two versions above) to the Balmain crystal embellished studded sandals (above center), the trend in footwear brings a whole new meaning to the term "foot fetish."
Blurring the line between pain and pleasure, the heels are getting higher (6, 6 ½, 7 inches), and the details are getting more extreme (spikes, studs, chains, wires). For those of us that love the trend but can't bear to splurge on high-end footwear, it's time to get creative.
Footwear accessories are an affordable way to meet the on-trend look while also evolving your current shoe collection into something unique and personal. All you need is a pair of sky-high platform sandals or heels to start with. Experiment even further by turning expandable bracelets into ankle cuffs and shoe trimmings.
Examples: Litter SF Walk of Shame shoe jewelry, Posso the Spat The Subject large buckle, Linea Pelle leather bracelet with gunmetal studs, Rhinestone elastic bracelets, DL by Dirty Librarian chains bracelet. Pile them on, switch them up, and start scheduling your biweekly pedicures.

Movie Posters
New PACIFIC RIM Character Posters, Coyote Tango, Cherno Alpha, Crimson Typhoon, Striker Eureka and Gipsy Danger
Director Guillermo del Toro's upcoming sci-fi blockbuster Pacific Rim has three new high resolution posters featuring giant Japanese Techno-Tyrant Coyote Tango, Russians Cherno Alpha, Chinese Crimson Typhoon, Australian Striker Eureka and Gipsy Danger from USA.
Check out the full posters after the jump.
The film stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi, Max Martini, Rob Kazinsky, Clifton Collins Jr., and Diego Klattenhoff. The script is written by Travis Beacham.
Pacific Rim will smash into 2D, 3D, and IMAX theaters on July 12th, 2013.
Here's the synopsis for Pacific Rim
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the seas, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes-a washed up former pilot (Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Kikuchi)-who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Network Rail predicts there will be 14 passengers for every 10 seats on Coventry to Birmingham trains before Phase One of HS2 is completed in 2026. The arrival of rapid mass transit services in the West Midlands is vital to capacity on the WCML. We will work with the new West Coast Partnership franchise, Network Rail and West Midlands Rail Executive to ensure Coventry and Warwickshire enjoy the local and national connectivity they require to thrive.
We will improve East-West rail journeys across Warwickshire by increasing capacity between Coventry, Warwick and Leamington, reinstating direct trains between Coventry and Leicester, and looking at options for additional services through Solihull. Adding capacity towards Leamington would also enable better access to Birmingham Airport, doubling the number of services per hour from the Thames Valley and East Midlands, through Coventry.
Our Rail Hub project proposes two direct trains per hour from Coventry to Leicester, taking less than 40 minutes. This East-West upgrade increases the number of people in the area who can reach Leicester and Birmingham within an hour and brings 120,000 more Coventry residents within an hour of Leicester and Nottingham. The project also sees more trains stopping at Nuneaton because of a doubling of services from Leicester to Birmingham.
With existing traffic issues and the potential scale of development around Coventry, Warwickshire and Leicester, targeted improvements to the A46 and A5 are essential to avoid hindering growth.
The focus of our A46 study is improving capacity and connectivity on a route that contributes 9% of English economic output each year. An A46 Link Road to better connect Coventry and Warwickshire to Birmingham Airport and the new HS2 Interchange station has already been awarded development funding. The new link would also enable thousands of houses to be built, though this growth is at risk if the performance of the A46 itself continues to worsen.
The A5 is also a vital component of strong economic growth for the Midlands. We are working with the A5 Partnership on plans to upgrade the route and increase the resilience of an already congested network.

little buds
I have been knitting this cozy sweater over the past few weeks. It is for S and the yarn is Drops Lima- a combination of alpaca and wool. I know I knit for her a lot but, I just can't help it....there are so many cute girls patterns. I like the little swing shape of this one. I let her choose the color which is a nice color for her though if it was my choice I would have chosen a grey or grey-green likely.
Now that we are here in Winter my mind already skips ahead to spring (I know, a long way off) so knitting a sweater named Little Buds seems just right.

truly madly deeply
Truly Madly Deeply is the name of this shade of the ever so lovely Madelinetosh Dk. I fell in love with Nadia's version and have been really into knitting hats lately. This was made as a Winter Solstice present.
I knew it would be a pleasure to knit since it has really nice construction and is a bit different then usual so it was finished very quickly.
This is child size for my four year old but, it also is available for a doll, newborn and toddler.
I hope to check in next week but, if not wishing you all Happy Holidays!

peter pan
Another project I made from Frolic-blog back in October was the tiered Peter Pan collar also by Hetterson. I used two Liberty fabrics for this one. I have also used this tutorial for both my daughter and I. She really loves wearing this and I think the fact we have matching ones doesn't hurt.
Here she is wearing hers over the weekend.
If you are looking for a quick sewing project for yourself or to make as a gift I like both of these very much.

speckled hat
I made myself a speckled hat designed by Hetterson found on Frolic-blog.
I used Malabrigo yarn - the color is called Sealing Wax & a little leftover white merino that I had on hand. I do love Quince and Co. and would highly recommend it for this project. I will knit this again soon maybe in a navy.

My latest finished piece is this pullover knit from a pattern called Agnes by Melissa LaBarre. This was knit fairly quickly over the past week in spurts. I've had the yarn for two years and it was meant for another project but, I was never sure about how much I would wear the sweater and since I just wasn't feeling the chunky knit cable cardigan pattern I finally decided I needed to put this yarn to use with a different design.
I tend to like a more simple stockinette when using a heavy yarn in a sweater so this pattern was perfect. I liked the cute pockets that are a part of the design but for me I didn't think they would look great. I didn't want to add any bulk to the waist/hip area. I also increased a little after the underarms because I was afraid it would be too tight in the bust which turned out fine.
The end result:
I like the fit a lot and will definitely wear it. The yarn which is Plymouth Yarn Baby Alpaca Grande was really nice to work with and soft too.

advent calendar
I always wanted to make an advent calendar for the kids but, just never made the time for it and when I saw this kit I knew it would be the one. I love the little drawers and the limitation of putting something tiny in each box. I love tiny! It could be a note stating a fun activity for the day, a piece of chocolate or a little toy that they find each day. So far, it has been toys and chocolate.
This kit is fun to put together. It requires some sanding and then you have to assemble each box with glue. You then need to collage, paint or glitter the front of each one and attach the numbers. I like that the inside is free to decorate in different ways. I have been playing with a few designs but, I am pretty happy with this for now.
The kit is made by Kaisercraft.
Thanks to Amy who found this kit and inspired me.

a rainbow
I knitted up another Fjord and Snöflinga for a few of my friends as holiday gifts recently. Knitting and handwork is the soothing kind of work my soul needs even more right now during this season.
I am half way done with a sweater for me that I hope to finish this week. I am using the pattern Agnes but modifying it a bit.
I've always considered Sunday to be the start of a new week and after yoga class which ended with tears yesterday I am hoping to hold less stress inside. I made a felt ball garland in the evening hours yesterday.
I really needed a rainbow.

a cranberry girl dress
A cranberry girl dress from the much loved book Peter in Blueberry Land.
I have been wanting to make this for a long time and she has been asking for one for a few years so I am happy I finally can cross this off the list.
I didn't use a pattern or follow any sort of directions which worked out fine. I purposely made it a bit longer for growing room. I decided to put a zipper in the back from the halfway point of the bodice up and I used white muslin and lightweight cotton in red for the dress. The bonnet I made a few years back. I know she will enjoy playing dress up with it. She was quite excited to put it on.
S has quite the imagination and really likes to create stories, talk to her dolls and animals and draw pictures all day. I can totally see her making up her own little books soon enough. Her favorite craft is her letters which she makes daily. She draws a picture (this morning it was clown hats) and then folds it up and then makes an envelope for it all out of construction paper and delivers it to the lucky person. I love waking up to something handmade by her. It is a really nice way to start the day.

old fashioned sheep toy
This hand knit sheep toy was requested by the littlest of the house. It is a very nice cuddly sheep. I like the pattern a lot and found it through Ravelry. There are also instructions to make it into a pull toy which would be a lot of fun as well.
The boy has actually requested a hand knit sweater that says "I love Mom." Can you believe it? I asked if I made it would he wear it to school to which he replied 'No, but I will wear it on very cold winter days when I am not at school.'

iPad cover
I finished up this iPad case the other day made from directions from The Liberty Book of Home Sewing. There are so many nice projects in this book. I had the materials for this one on hand but, there are many other I would like to try someday.
It is cotton canvas, lined with Liberty and has a cotton binding. The Liberty fabric is from the lifestyle collection.
In other news,
-Colette Dinnigan released a beautiful line of ballet leotards, dresses and tutus through Target AU today. See here. I would love to get my hands on the white dress and sequin bolero but, it seems you can't buy online here and I can't find a list of the stores that carry it. Our car is in the shop this morning but, maybe I can check ours later today. The collection is really dreamy and I am dying to buy some pieces for my daughter.
-I started a cranberry girl dress for Scarlet. Amy made one and Scarlet has wanted one for a long time. We love love the book Peter in Blueberry Land which is where the idea hails from. I would like to make Matthew a 'Peter' outfit but, not sure he would love it as much as S will.
- I am almost finished with my cross stitch sampler.
- holiday knitting/making has begun. One project finished last night.
- Matthew is seven! He had a great birthday last week and we celebrated him at school and with a bowling party over the weekend.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Snöflinga(which means snowflake) hat pattern by Jenny Gordy. This time I knit it up in Brooklyn Tweed in the color Faded Quilt. I like this pattern as much as Fjord. It is simple to knit and has a great result. The bobbles are fun to make too.
I have a few more skeins of the Brooklyn Tweed to be made into two more hats for the holidays. The yarn was purchased in the city over the weekend. I had a total of 5 minutes in the store as we were in a bit of a rush after a trip to the Children's Museum of the Arts.

Scalene by Carina Spencer in Dirty Water Dyeworks, Bertha in colors, chocolate raspberry and dahlia.
This is a asymmetrically shaped scarf that is made unique through the addition of a keyhole pocket to slide one point into. I like that the designer included directions for three different weights of yarn. Mine is a sock weight yarn. The only changes I made were that I omitted a few rows at the end and opted for a solid strip rather than a second band of stripes. The original has a large band of stripes, a middle solid and then a second band of stripes. I was introduced to this pattern and wool at the Sheep and Wool Festival and this is my first project from the wool I bought there. There are a few little mistakes from when i was knitting in the blackout but, other then that I think it looks nice. I can think of lots of pretty color combinations that would be quite striking for this pattern. The yarn is pretty scrumptious too.

alphabet sampler
I am working on the alphabet sampler by Alicia Paulson. I decided to start it the day I read about her adopting a baby girl a few weeks ago. I was so happy when I read the news on Alicia's blog. Hers was one of the first I read years ago. The kit had been sitting around for a few months now so I was happy for the excuse to start something new. I forgot how fun cross stitch is. I am up to the 'teacup' now which is next to the letter 't.'

into the light
Our power was restored after 8 days and nights yesterday. I honestly felt like I was at a luxury hotel just being at home last night. There is so much we do in the modern world that one does not even think about it being special. The worst part of it was the cold because it got pretty darn cold in the house at night.
It really does make one thankful for all the little things you take for granted- blow drying your hair which normally seems like a pain, a working cappuccino maker, a toaster, a clock, being able to see in the dark....
At night I was knitting a shawl under blankets with candles next to me and a flashlight. There will be a few minor mistakes in it due to the lack of the light but, I will leave them to remind me of this later on when I might forget to be thankful for the small things. After all, we have so much and there were and are so many much worse off.

I can't get this…
Or this in my own city.
Let's travel! I always get asked on our later Colorado trips, "Will there be snow?" Oh yes. When you are at 10,000 feet, there is plenty.
B upgraded the girls annual passes to Copper this year. CS and I love Copper so we were excited.
With all 3 Fuller girls on skis this year, we maximized the 6 seater chair.
I even packed a selfie stick to get some group shots.
I'm learning how to use it. I hooked it all up without realizing I clamped down on the take-a-picture-button on the side. I got 198 photos of my skis in 5 seconds.
It's hard trying to get all that shit out on the chair, not fall off, and not lose any gear to the ground below. Kayla was my rockstar this year! She had new longer skis and mastered them like a champ.
Syd was our navigator with Reagan at her side. They lead us down the slopes all day long!
It was very fun for me to watch B and his girls. They all have come a long way from when we first started doing this.
After skiing all day, I thought these girls would be down in bed quickly. Nope! Dance battle ensued.
After I took a turn, Kayla was looking for her next victim. It was Future uncle.
We had a new player this year. A new doggie. I tried to accommodate her when the girls had to head back to town for some soccer. Hindsight, I should have left her alone. But she looked like mix of my last 2 dogs. I couldn't resist and it costed me. I was down in bed with an allergy attack like no other for 2 days.
We spent a day walking around Leadville. Repeat, yes they have snow. Up to the roof!
One of my favorite thrift shops has been replaced with a grow shop. Highest weed shop around. Get it?! It's at 10,000 feet.
While I'm reading my Ellen book, she talks about being in Colorado and wanting to see what her readers are doing. Well, cool! I'll show you! I took to Twitter hoping @TheEllenShow would catch on.
I got a few likes, but not my break through moment. Try #1 got a better response. Until next time, see ya Rockies!

Wonderful way to close out the year working on 'Being Transgressive' with Minerva Films!!!
Anyone who knows me knows I crave and constantly seek to do projects that touch the social conscious (and my own). When I read the description for 'Being Transgressive', I knew I found another gem.
The story centers on Mac, a female-to-male (FTM) transgender individual who decides to come out at work and begin the process of gender transition. Mac battles the roadblocks that remain within him and others, and ends up transforming and touching the lives of everyone he encounters.
Happily cast as Mary, the uber supportive co-worker who "transgressively", I move my co-workers towards accepting Mac's transition. The film gave me an opportunity to gain perspective into the emotions & turmoil a transitioning person goes through as they make the transition from male-to-female or female-to-male. I am forever changed by my exposure & am forever grateful to Joshua Caraballo for the opportunity! :o)

The new Samsung Galaxy Alpha is now official in South Korea bearing a price tag of 748,000 WON. While the phone belongs to the mid-range line of the devices, it has gained positive approval and acceptance worldwide as it is seen as the company's departure from plastic build.
Another thing that allowed Galaxy Alpha to gain popularity despite not being a flagship phone is its design. Those who are used to seeing Galaxy S (from S3 to S5) phones may be captivated by Alpha's different design. It's different in a good way.
The phone will sport a 4.7-inch Super AMOLED display and an octa-core processor. Recent reports suggest that there will be two sets of quad-core processors clocked at different frequencies (1.8GHz and 1.3GHz).
To complement its powerful processor, it's given 2GB RAM and will run Android 4.4.4 out of the box. It will also come with features found in the Galaxy S5 like S Health, Finger Print Scanner, Private Mode, and Ultra-Power Saving Mode, which is too important considering it only has 1,806mAh battery.
Photo enthusiasts and users who love taking selfies will surely enjoy Alpha as it comes with 12MP rear camera and 5MP secondary. However, with its 8GB internal storage, it is certain you'll run out of storage space after a few weeks of use. There was no mention of microSD card slot so it is best to have a spacious cloud storage for backup.

Tor network privacy could be cracked
The Tor network is used by those who want to keep their IP addresses private. But new research shows that it's possible to compromise the system and unmask the user.
Tor, a peer-to-peer network of routers that lets users keep their IP addresses private as they connect to Web servers, isn't as ironclad as some might think, according to a recent report from Danish research firm FortConsult.
For legitimate users, the findings mean a malicious hacker could potentially invade their privacy. For those who use Tor to mask fraudulent activity, however, it means investigators could develop the means to uncover their tracks.
The report (.pdf) explains how hackers could compromise the system's anonymity by interfering with traffic passing through Tor's exit server.
Andrew Christensen, a FortConsult researcher and lead author of the report, said his firm started researching the issue after Tor was used in some high-profile hacking cases.
"After one of these cases, the Danish police agency that had jurisdiction stated that because Tor was used, it was pretty impossible to track the people behind the attacks," Christensen said in an email interview. "We didn't think this was the case, so we wanted to demonstrate exactly how tracking criminals that are using Tor can be accomplished."
He said his team started by setting up a Tor node, analyzing the traffic going through it by protocol, destination and software used; and studying how the Tor network is designed.
"To accomplish what we wanted, we needed to do a lot of research into browser-side security, since we are actually leveraging several weaknesses in browser design to unmask Tor users," he said. It's ultimately the flaws in browser-based applications that make it possible to expose IP addresses, not weaknesses within Tor itself, the researchers concluded.
"We believe we have demonstrated that it's entirely possible -- even practical and easy -- to unmask a good portion of the traffic transiting Tor, since it is being viewed using Firefox and Internet Explorer and is transmitted in cleartext," Christensen said.
Arrigo Triulzi, a handler for the Bethesda, Md.-based SANS Internet Storm Center (ISC), wrote on the organization's Web site that the report is worrisome.
He noted that the Tor network, also known as the Onion Router, is a perfect example of dual-use technology: "It can be used to avoid government-imposed Internet censorship or to protect the identity of a corporate whistleblower, but at the same time it is sadly ideal for various nefarious uses," Triulzi wrote.
While the techniques his team used to unmask users is reliable, Christensen said it's not foolproof. He said Tor users can blunt these techniques by:
- Turning off Flash, ActiveX, Javascript; and "pretty much everything else that makes Web sites exciting to marketing and sales people."
- Ensuring that Tor resolves name addresses.
- Using SSL, as it makes the traffic harder to manipulate.
- Using Lynx or other text-based browsers when possible.

Lately, everyone's been celebrating the multiyear highs that the Dow Jones Industrial Average
The other Dow
The Dow industrials make up the most popular market measure for a very good reason -- they span nearly every sector of the economy. In that sense, the entire "industrials" label is a misnomer, because only a few of the Dow's components are industrial stocks in the traditional sense. With retailers, restaurants, technology stocks, and health-care companies all members of the Dow, the days when the Industrial Average had mostly stalwart stocks of heavy industry are long gone.
But with the Dow Industrials getting nearly all the attention, it's easy to forget that there are actually two other Dow averages out there. In particular, for many, the Dow Jones Transportation Average
Dark clouds on the horizon
There's an old technical indicator known as Dow Theory that says that the Industrials and the Transports should confirm each other's upward movements. So with the Industrials moving to new multiyear highs lately, you'd ideally see the Transports similarly hitting record levels.
But that hasn't been the case. In fact, after peaking nearly a year ago, the Transports are still down more than 6% from their levels of last May. It would take a very strong move for the Transports to move to new highs and confirm the Dow Industrials' rally.
What's with transportation stocks?
To understand why the Transports aren't doing as well as the Industrials, it's helpful to drill down into the average itself. The Transports include 20 stocks in four broad categories: airlines, railroads, trucking and shipping, and delivery. Looking at each of those categories and their performance over the past nine months:
- Delivery companies UPS
and FedEx have both posted gains, with UPS rising 9%. As the economy has improved, demand for shipments has climbed with it, bolstering prospects for the two major delivery players. (NYSE: UPS)
- Railroads have had mixed performance. Kansas City Southern tops the gainers list, but CSX
has suffered a substantial loss as lower volumes of coal shipments caused by low natural gas prices have hurt the company's bottom line. (NYSE: CSX)
- Airlines are laboring under high fuel prices and low margins, with even low-cost players feeling the pinch.
- Trucking companies are also a mixed lot, with strength in some players and weakness in others. But Overseas Shipholding Group
has been by far the worst of the bunch, as a glut in both tanker ships and dry-bulk vessels is hurting the entire industry. (NYSE: OSG)
While Dow Theory has been around for a long time, its value may have diminished over time. Transportation is definitely a key element of the economy, but it's only one element. More importantly, the impact of energy costs is disproportionately high on the entire industry, with only a few checks and balances within the industry -- railroads tend to do better in high-cost environments, while truckers and air delivery do better when energy is cheap.
Don't panic
All told, you don't need to prepare for an imminent stock market crash just because the Dow Transports aren't likely to hit new highs anytime soon. After such a big run-up in the overall market, a correction would be a natural pause regardless -- even if you think this is just the start of a much longer-term bull market for stocks in general.
Whether or not there's a correction in the cards, great stocks will get you where you want to be in the long run. Take a look at The Motley Fool's new special report to discover three stocks to help you retire rich. It's free, but read it today while it's still available.

It's Monday, all day long my friends. So that means we are here for the long haul. Work has been good so far today which makes the day better. I am doing Zumba tonight which has become a ritual for me. I hope each of you are having a great day!
Tumblr and WordPressStandard
For the past couple of weeks I have been blogging on both Tumblr and WordPress. My reasons for doing so is to have a redundant solution for blogging. In the light of the changes happening with Yahoo's intentions for Tumblr I feel that using both would be a smart thing. WordPress seems to be a stable, suitable blogging community that anyone could migrate to and maintain relationships with fellow bloggers from across the world.
My advice for what its worth is for every person on Tumblr to have a alternative ready to migrate to. There are fewer options these days unfortunately so making a decision is a personal one. Many folks who like to create original posts would find WordPress a great place. However those who do mostly reblogging of fandom stuff will find it harder to migrate. You can import your Tumblr blog to WordPress very easily.
So my friends know I am not going anywhere. There are a lot of people I have made great friendly connections with here on Tumblr and I don't want to lose any of you. Thanks for your friendship and common bond.
Happy Friday Good People!Standard
It's finally Friday, thank goodness. Today wraps up a busy week at work and in other parts of life. The week has been a good one I think. My weekend will be a little busy but that is alright. In a way its sad to live for the weekends but sometimes we are in that place where we need to chill out. Lets have a happy Friday and a happier weekend.
Being OriginalStandard
I believe in being the star of my own blog. Being creative is fun and being original is freedom. We need new voices and views of the world. My blog is a outlet for my thoughts and outlook. I can make connections too with people who are of like mind. We need more personal blogs where we can be ourselves.
Servant LeaderStandard
I think to be a great leader you must serve. I consider myself a servant first and a leader second. You have to set an example of service in order to inspire the work of others. You can't just tell people what to do you have to show them how to do it. While you serve you can also train others to do good works. A good leader will work hard for their people to create opportunities for those they…
It's Friday!Standard
Hello good people, the new day is upon us and the birds are chirping…OK enough of that mushy stuff. It is Friday here in America and it means for many of us the weekend is here. Its amazing how fast Friday can get here sometimes but others it can't get here fast enough. Today is payday so I am jazzed about that.
Lets finish strong and do good things today. Whatever you are doing today make it…
Time Does March OnStandard
Yesterday can feel like last week. Last week can feel like last month, last month can feel like six months ago, a year can feel like and eternity. When it comes to time it is indeed hard to believe how fast it goes. We are never standing still, always moving, always changing. Time does march on and we are always on the move. So when you think about it we are all time travelers.

The fonds consists of correspondence, drafts, essays, lecture notes, course outlines, clippings and research materials created and collected by Ormsby in her diverse roles as student, professor, researcher and author. Also included are records generated between 1957 and 1967 by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.
Margaret Ormsby was born in 1909 in Quesnel but spent most of her childhood in the Okanagan Valley, where her father, a returned veteran, had taken out an orchard acreage on the banks of Kalamalka Lake in the suburb of Coldstream near Vernon, which subsequently became Margaret's much beloved home base. Thanks to her parents' strong encouragement to pursue higher education, in 1925, she enrolled at UBC earning a B.A. (1929) and M.A. (1931) in History. Her Master's theses was entitled: "A Study of the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia", marking her first contribution to what became her principal interest. She then began her Ph.D. at Bryn Mawr in 1931, interrupting her studies between 1934 and 1936 to work as a teaching assistant in the Department on History at UBC. After completing her Ph.D. in 1936, with a thesis on "Relationships between the Province of British Columbia and The Dominion of Canada", she taught at a girls high school in the United States for three years. These Depression years made it extremely difficult for young scholars, particularly women. Nevertheless In 1940, (partly because the men were in the armed forces, and partly because she could not demand a high salary), she became a lecturer in the History Department of McMaster University in Hamilton Ontario, and then returned to UBC to teach in 1943. With the return of the veterans after 1945, the History Department's enrolment rose rapidly. Margaret found herself not only teaching her preferred subject of Canadian and British Columbia history, but even mediaeval courses. In those days junior lecturers were expected to teach whatever was required. But she persevered, and was soon recognized as a scholar of note. It was therefore no surprise when she was invited to write the magisterial volume British Columbia: a History, which appeared in 1958 to mark the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Crown Colony, and was subsequently republished four times. This substantial volume of over 560 pages was a great success, and was widely adopted by schools and universities. Her scholarship was straightforward with its chief emphasis on the political developments which had led to the colony's union with the rest of Canada, its rapid expansion at the end of the nineteenth century, and its tribulations in the first half of the twentieth. She championed a non-Toronto and non-Vancouver view of the history of B.C. All this was based on a judicious if conservative assessment of the archival records, and a desire to see the province's history from a wide perspective in all its multicoloured and multi-ethnic hues. She also contributed a large number of shorter articles and encyclopedia entries.
This scholarship involved her spending a great deal of time in the Victoria archives, from which she was summoned back in 1963 to take over as Head of the History Department after Dean Soward's precipitous resignation. She brought to this position a remarkable strength of determination (perhaps because of her Irish ancestry) which occasionally led to some acerbic relations with a few male colleagues, still rather resentful of having a woman in charge. She could not help but feel a certain loneliness in being the only woman head in the Faculty of Arts, or indeed, apart from some Nursing Professors, in the whole university. But her period of service until 1974 saw a remarkable increase in the number of appointments in the History Department (long overdue), which expanded the department's size three-fold; and brought the UBC History Department into a national, North American and international context. She also oversaw the launching of an unprecedented PhD programme, designed to build on the successful MA programme of earlier years. At the same time Margaret Ormsby chaired the Historical Sites and Monuments Board of Canada between 1960 and 1967, as well as becoming President of both the B.C. Historical Society and the Canadian Historical Association. In addition she was richly honoured for her work and her academic and social contributions as a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. She was also a member of the Champlain Society, the Humanities Research Council of Canada and the American Historical Society. Professor Ormsby also served as Secretary to the UBC Faculty Association in 1956-57. She received Honorary Degrees from all four B.C. universities as well as from the University of Manitoba and the University of Notre Dame in Nelson, B.C. In 1966 she was awarded the Order of Canada, and in 1974 the UBC Senate awarded her an Honorary D.Litt. Subsequently she was awarded the Order of British Columbia.
After her retirement, she taught for a year at the University of Western Ontario as the Smallman Visiting Professor. She also completed the editing of an interesting diary written by an early settler, A Pioneer Gentle Woman in British Columbia: the Recollections of Susan Allison (1976), and later wrote a short and flattering account of her home community Coldstream - Nulli Secundus/ (1990).
She died in Vernon in 1996.

People often ask whether they should hire professionals from an exterminator phoenix company or handle the whole problem on their own. The reason for this that people believe they can save a lot of money with simple do-it-yourself projects. They feel that all they need to do is shop for some pesticide that has the photo of the insect that they need to exterminate pests, and a spraying device.
However, this is not always right. There are some technicalities to take into account before you can be sure that you've rid yourself of these annoying pests. In particular, you need to know where to apply the pesticide. Getting to every crack in the building and every likely breeding spot of any particular pest is not easy. Besides, each different type of pest has a different breeding habit. Therefore, pest extermination requires technical approach, knowledge and angling, which only trained professionals have.
At the same time, there have been cases where homeowners have spent as much as $50 on exterminator phoenix services each month, but the results remain dissatisfactory. The pests never seem to leave despite all the efforts. This is also more reason why people think that it's better to spend as little as $5 on the chemical and do the job themselves. However, not all chemicals available in the market are as effective. Besides, you cannot use the wrong pesticide for the wrong pest specie because it would be a waste of useful resources, time, and money.
A trained professional will know what to add to the nature-base to make it a perfect and lasting solution against future pest infestation. If you handle an over-the-counter (OTC) pesticide, it will need dilution. If you excessively lower the dilution then the effect of the pesticide will reduce. If you do not dilute it enough and its concentration remains too high, it can expose people around you to severe hazards. Therefore, it is better to hire the services of an exterminator.
A hired professional will take the time to inspect the entire building and assess what pests are present. After a thorough inspection, the professional will provide a detailed report on what is the situation, how much damage has already happened and what to do to eliminate the problem. The report will include information including the following:
- Suitable conditions for the pests
- Access points the pests use
- Species of pests present
For long-term protection, and to minimize unnecessary exposure to pesticides, it is important to hire a professional who has the knowledge about what action is necessary. By knowing what the target is, the exterminator will know what bait to use in combination with the pesticide, if that is necessary.
KY-KO Pest Prevention is the only exterminator phoenixCompany that offers thorough inspection, that too free! They are just a call away, so you can contact them on 480.685.5833 and ask for professional assistance immediately.

Commitments by Donald Trump:
- Trump, 2016.06.16: We have to repeal Obamacare, and it can be— and— and it can be replaced with something much better for everybody. Let it be for everybody. But much better and much less expensive for people and for the government. And we can do it… I would do various things very quickly. I would repeal and replace the big lie, Obamacare.
- Trump, 2016.06.16: I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created. I tell you that. I'll bring back our jobs from China, from Mexico, from Japan, from so many places. I'll bring back our jobs, and I'll bring back our money.
- Trump, 2016.06.16: I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I'll build them very inexpensively, I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.
- Trump, 2016.06.16: I will stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
- [Trump, 2016.06.16]http://time.com/3923128/donald-trump-announcement-speech/): I look at the roads being built all over the country, and I say I can build those things for one-third.
- Trump, 2016.06.16: Reduce our $18 trillion in debt
- Trump, 2015.06.24: I would rarely leave the White House because there's so much work to be done. I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off.
- Trump, 2015.12.07: … total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States …
- Trump, 2016.02.13: I'm going to save Social Security… But we're not going to hurt the people who have been paying into Social Security their whole life and then all of a sudden they're supposed to get less.
- 2011.12.05: Social Security is here to stay. To be sure, we must reform it, root out the fraud, make it more efficient, and ensure that the program is solvent. Same goes for Medicare. Again, people have lived up to their end of the bargain and paid into the program in good faith. Of course they believe they're "entitled" to receive the benefits they paid for–they are!
- Trump, 2007.07.02: I would impose a one-time, 14.25% tax on individuals and trusts with a net worth over $10 million. That would raise $5.7 trillion in new revenue, which we would use to pay off the entire national debt.
- Trump, 2000.07.02: I would never support what has to be the craziest ideas in the history of U.S. politics: allowing the government to invest Social Security retirement funds in the stock market.
- Trump, 2016.03.15: I will do everything within my power not to touch Social Security, to leave it the way it is… And it's my absolute intention to leave Social Security the way it is. Not increase the age and to leave it as is… I want to make America great again and I want to leave Social Security as is.
Racist Statements
- : When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best. They're not sending you, they're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. … And some, I assume, are good people.
- Per Politico: Latinos accounted for 9 percent of documented sexual assaults in 2013, far below their representation of 17 percent of the U.S. population. Whites, meanwhile, accounted for 71 percent of sexual assaults, above their 63 percent makeup of the U.S. population.

Why spray tanning?
Whenever you come back from a trip, the initial thing friends and family normally comment on is your excellent tan, or absence thereof. Tanning has actually been popular given that the very early 20th century, but the health and wellness threats connected with the sunlight's UV rays have made maintaining an also tan -- much less any kind of tan -- difficult, specifically for those who stay in cold as well as wet environments.
Go into interior sun tanning salons, which came to be a popular fad in the '80s. Currently, indoor tanning is a $3 billion-a-year industry in the US alone.
Considering that the year 2000, self sunless spray tanning has actually taken the tanning usa by tornado. It has actually provided guys with a method to get and also sustain a healthy-looking, even tan without being exposed to the sunlight's rays. What is most remarkable is that, unlike previous tanning techniques, the results of spray tanning really look good.
What is spray tanning?
Spray tanning works by using an unique mist to the physical body. This haze is sprayed into the body in a display, which you can now find at many higher-end tanning beauty parlors and also day spas. The haze given off contains dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which is a chemical that reacts with dead skin cells by cosmetically coloring them brownish. So after spray tanning, the skin handles a gold brownish colour that typically appears like a natural tan.
Relying on the display made use of, the haze will either be water or oil based; males with sensitive skin should pick a water base. Likewise, some hair salons supply various sorts of hazes, allowing you to select the degree of darkening. If you are very fair-skinned, keep in mind that going as well dark will certainly look fake and uncomfortable, regardless of the top quality of the item.
Will it provide me a great tan?
The mist in spray tanning temporarily makes your skin gold brown, not orange. The chemical reaction physically changes your skin colour, so there's no have to bother with smear lines; besides, the products on the market have actually been well-tested in order to make sure they provide a colour that looks exactly like an organic tan (or as close as it's getting). Also fair-skinned guys who typically turn pink rather than brown while tanning will certainly gain from a bronze colour by obtaining a spray tan.
For how long does it last?
Mystic Tan, among the most preferred brands of spray tanning booths, states that once an optimal colour is accomplished, it could be preserved by tanning every 5 days. Dream Tan, a rival, explains that their tans will last around 10 days. As you'll uncover by reading on, there are particular procedures you could take (before and after your spray tanning session) to ensure that your tan lasts as long as possible.
Here's a mini-lesson in dermatology: The top level of your skin naturally sheds in order to pave the way to more recent skin. Since that leading layer of skin is the part that's colored by the DHA, the tan wears away once the leading level of dead skin peels. So, to expand the results of the spray tan, you should make use of moisturizer (you know, that cream your female speaks highly of) to keep the top level from dropping as swiftly. Generally, if you hydrate, you must have the ability to maintain an optimal tan for regarding five days.
There are lots of creams on the market, by every cosmetic producer on the planet. You can not walk right into a drug store or department store without discovering a full rack of right stuff so go out and obtain that tan that you are entitled to.
Safe Ways To Keep Tan Year-Round: Top 10 Needs to Utilize Sunless Tanners

This could help explain a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association that reported skin cancer cells amongst ladies under the age of 40 has actually tripled in the past Three Decade, citing the popularity of sun tanning as a popular reason.

Healing, music therapy, restores life,
revitalized, regenerates, rejuvenates, music creates stability
love, music brings harmony, music must be harmonious.
Pythagoras, a mathematical genius, 800 BC, taught that music contributed to health and if used in an appropriate manner, meaning, healing high frequency music, can replace medicine., as it facilitates spontaneous healing for the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. This ancient secret of biology and medicine, has had transformational impact on lives centuries ago, and to this date. Vibration exists at the heart of all matter in the universe. Every raindrop, crystal, rock, star,cell, plant, tree,creature, even the song of a bird, is formed from matter that vibrates. We, humans, are vibrational organisms, and our flesh consists of a delicate trace of electromagnetic frequencies that harmonize with each other and manifest as biological matter that comprises our bodies. Today, music therapy is an established clinical discipline and is widely used in many areas. The individual frequencies within music support healing of the body., which act as a form of medicine. The sound of specific frequency is able to energize, and stimulate the cells to support them back to a healthy state. Whenever we are immersed in sound, the membranes of our cells receive beautiful patterns, provided the sound is harmonious and healing to our ears and body. It is very important to listen to the correct acoustic frequency to promote cellular division and stimulate a therapeutic response. The Pythagoran 2800 year old hypothesis is bringing a bright future for sound, music healing and could alleviate many illnesses without ingesting foreign chemical substances into our bodies Listen daily to therapeutic music!

Anyone here? Bueller Bueller?
I am back asking questions. I had six months of health challenges lately and gained 14 lbs. I have taken six of them off easily once I got started again all on Core/Simply Filling. I am trying to get below my goal so actually have more to lose than the 8 to goal. I have never been below goal and need the cushion.
I'm healthy now. Got a pacemaker less than a month ago and now can do everything again plus more.
I switched my e tools to SF and its working fine. Except my WI day is Thursday and as of today I have used my 40 plus a bunch of exercise points. I am printing it out and looking long and hard at what I can eliminate.
BUT maybe I don't need to? We are supposed to use the 49 and exercise points for anything we eat that is NOT SF right? And If I am losing and feeling fine with what I am eating then its OK right?
Not sure. There are not too many carbs, no sugars, no fatty meats. Plenty of F & Veggies. Little snacking.
Not sure if I am doing this right? Bottom line is I am eating to satisfaction AND losing. I am not hungry at odd times.
Any help would be appreciated. I lost my weight on Core but had so much to lose (133lbs) it was easier back then.

In 1985, under the authority of section 3(c) of the Lotteries Act, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador entered into an agreement (the Unanimous Shareholders Agreement) with the other nine provincial jurisdictions to establish the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (ILC).
The ILC was established by the provincial jurisdictions to operate joint lottery games across Canada. The ILC is a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Its outstanding share capital presently consists of ten common shares, one of which has been issued to each of the Shareholders as follows:
Each province is individually responsible for marketing the national games within its own jurisdiction and profits are returned to its shareholders in accordance with the Unanimous Shareholders Agreement and used to support the funding of essential services and infrastructure.
The main duties and responsibilities of the Shareholders are:
Pursuant to the Unanimous Shareholder's Agreement, the Shareholders have the right to elect the board of directors to the ILC. The number of directors appointed by each Shareholder is as follows:
Alberta 1
British Columbia 3
Manitoba 1
New Brunswick 1
Newfoundland and Labrador 1
Nova Scotia 1
Ontario 4
Prince Edward Island 1
Quebec 4
Saskatchewan 1
Furthermore, the Presidents of the Western Canada Lottery Corporation; Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation; Société des lotteries du Quebec; Atlantic Lottery Corporation; and the British Columbia Lottery Corporation are also elected to the Board of Directors to the ILC. These presidents serve as the executive committee. The president of the ILC is elected among the members of the executive committee with the understanding that the president will not come from the same region as the Chairman of the ILC.
The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador selects its shareholder representative to the ILC from the appointments made to the Board of Directors to the Atlantic Lottery Corporation (ALC). Three Directors are appointed to the ALC by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, two of which are Independent Directors and only one of which is a Non-Independent Director. The Non-Independent Director is appointed as the Deputy Minister of the Department of Finance (or his or her delegate). The ILC appointment is chosen from one of the three directors appointed to the ALC.
For further information about the ALC and the appointment process for their Board of Directors, please refer to the online board profile http://www.exec-abc.gov.nl.ca/public/agency/detail/?id=587&
Please refer to the competency profile section of the ALC board profile http://www.exec-abc.gov.nl.ca/public/agency/detail/?id=587& for a complete listing of the competencies required to support the stewardship of the ILC.
Please refer to the qualifications section of the ALC board profile http://www.exec-abc.gov.nl.ca/public/agency/detail/?id=587& for a complete listing of the desired assets and personal attributes.
Immediately after the annual meeting of shareholders in each year, a meeting of the elected directors may be held, provided that they constitute a quorum, without notice, for the appointment of officers of the Corporation and the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting.
Subject to the provisions of any resolution of the Board of Directors, meetings of the Board of Directors may be called at any time by the Board of Directors itself, the Chairman of the Board or the President or any two directors and notice of the time and place for holding any meeting of the Board of Directors shall be given at least 48 hours prior to the time fixed for the meeting. Any meeting so called may be held at the registered office of the Corporation or any other which shall have been fixed by the Board of Directors.
While the meeting schedule of the Board of Directors will vary from one year to the next, it is reasonable to anticipate approximately 3 to 4 meetings a year, which typically take place at the ILC headquarters in Toronto, Ontario. Additionally, directors may be expected to participate on one of the following Board sub-committees:
Note: The requirement for the above sub-committees may vary from one year to the next.
The frequency of sub-committee meetings vary from one year to the next, but typically occur 3 to 4 times a year. These meetings may be face-to-face at ILC headquarters in Toronto or via video/teleconference.
The Executive Committee of the Board typically meets 5 to 6 times per year, usually at ILC headquarters in Toronto.
The ILC by-laws require that the election of directors take place at each annual meeting of shareholders, at which time, all ILC current directors retire their position, and if qualified, become eligible for re-election.
However, as stated above, the shareholder representative for the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador is chosen from one of the three directors appointed to the ALC. These appointments are for three years. It is therefore reasonable to assume that the term of the ILC director will be consistent with the term appointment for the directors appointed to the ALC.

J. Gresham Machen is considered the last in the lineage of the Great Princeton Theologians, following in the steps of Archibald Alexander, Charles Hodge, A. A. Hodge, and B. B. Warfield. Machen taught at Princeton Seminary for almost 15 years and established himself as a well respected New Testament scholar. After a dispute that divided faculty members over an emerging modernist theology, Machen left Princeton and became one of the principal founders of Westminster Theological Seminary, where he taught until his death.
Written by four eminent scholars and Bible teachers, Teaching the Teacher: A First Book in Teacher Training specializes on the history of God's redeeming grace. It reviews Old Testament history, disclosing the stream of God's redeeming purposes flowing down through ancient times. It reviews New Testament history, disclosing the broadening and deepening of that purpose for mankind in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and his church. It reviews the history of that church in the world. It introduces the student to the study of the human spirit, made in the likeness of God. It discusses the organization of the Church in order to carry out the Great Commission, particularly among the children and youth whose minds and hearts and consciences God has designed for that spiritual development which we call religious education.

John Gresham Machen (1881–1937) was professor of New Testament at Princeton Seminary from 1915–1929. After a dispute against the emerging modernist theology at Princeton, Machen became one of the principal founders of Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, where he taught until his death. Machen is considered the last of the great Princeton Theologians (after Archibald Alexander, Charles Hodge, A. A. Hodge, and B. B. Warfield), and his works reflect their tradition of conservative, Calvinist orthodoxy.
James Oscar Boyd (1874–1947) was assistant professor of Oriental and Old Testament literature at Princeton Theological Seminary. His numerous works include The Octateuch in Ethiopic According to the Text of the Paris Codex, The Documents of the Book of Ezra, The Historicity of Ezra, and A Brief Bible History: A Survey of the Old and New Testaments.
Walter Scott Athearn (1872–1934) received his bachelor's degree of pedagogy from Drake University and was elected professor of grammar, physiology, and methods there. In 1916, he moved to Boston University where he taught for 13 years and served as dean of the School of Religious Education. Considered a pioneer in religious studies for higher education, Athearn also authored numerous works, including The Church School, The City Institute for Religious Teachers, The Organization and Administration of the Church School, A National System of Education, and The Minister and the Teacher: An Interpretation of Current Trends in Christian Education.
Harold McAfee Robinson (1881–1934) was Helen H. P. Manson Professor of Bible at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania. He authored numerous works, including The Secularization of Education in America, How to Conduct Family Worship, and Man: Slave or Free?

"Technology gives the state enormous powers of access to knowledge and information about each of us, and the ability to collect and store it at will. Of course, modern technology is of critical importance to the struggle against serious crime. Used wisely, it can protect us." >>>>>
