Rise of technology not only changed the way people play their favourite casino games, but it also made it more practical than it has ever been. Smartphones and tablets have brought table games into players' pockets, making roulette available to fans anywhere and anytime. One of the most commonly used devices for playing real money roulette on the move is Apple's famous iPhone. Known all around the world thanks to its eye catchy design, strong performance and touch responsive screen, this iOS device has conquered many hearts. Online players have managed to recognise the iPhone as the perfect tool for having unforgettable real money roulette game sessions at popular mobile gambling sites. Finding the right iPhone Roulette casino for you is not that simple. It depends a lot on your location and preferences. When you're from the US you don't have a lot of choices. Only very few can considered as recommendation. To us, the best casino for iPhone Roulette games for real money in 2019 is ClubWorld Casinos – one of the largest US casinos anyways with a nice deposit bonus for new players. Click here to sign up for this superior Roulette casino!
How Does a Standard iPhone Roulette Game Sessions Look Like?
Playing roulette on an iPhone is very similar to playing the game at any online casino. Before players are allowed to take a seat on a table and place real money bets, they first have to own a funded mobile casino account. Luckily, the option to complete the sign up process and then make a deposit is possible for those who use their iPhone for accessing their favourite mobile casino operator. Some mobile sites feature only one roulette game, whereas others feature several variants. Usually, these games are found in the game lobby under the table games category. Simply select the iPhone friendly roulette title and wait until it's loaded on the screen. You can use your fingers in order to select chips with different values and place them on the layout. Once you are done placing bets whose total amount is within the table limits hit the spin button and wait for the outcome. After several seconds the ball lands in one of the roulette wheel pockets and the system automatically tells you how much money you have won, whereas all losing bets are instantly removed from the table. This is the perfect time for you to leave the game or start a new session.
Two Basic Types of Real Money Roulette Bets
Roulette is a game that offers two basic types of bets: inside and outside. Those who are familiar with the roulette table layout can guess what inside and outside bets mean; the area on which the numbers are printed is considered to be the inside area and all bets placed there are inside bets. For example, single number, split bet and corner bet are all different types of inside bets. Inside bets have lower odds and higher payouts. Hence, the best roulette payout of 35:1 is the single number bet. Outside bets, on the other hand, are placed anywhere outside the number area. These bets include set of numbers or colour fields and thus they have much better chances to make you a winner; as a result, they offer smaller payouts. Some well known outside bets that have even payout are red, black, even, odd, high and low. All of these bets cover half the numbers on the layout. Outside bets that pay double are first, second and third dozen set of numbers as well as first, second and third column on the layout.
Where to Play Real Money Roulette that supports iPhone Devices?
One of the downsides of having so many mobile casinos that support iPhone devices is the fact that not all of them are worth players' trust and attention. There are several requirements that have to be met by the mobile gambling site you plan to join in order to play real money roulette. First of all, it has to be 100% safe and secure. This can be known by checking its gambling licence as well as other certificates such as the ones issued by eCOGRA, TST Labs and etc. One you know you are registering with a reliable gambling operator you have to check its casino software provider as well as the roulette offer. It is always advisable to play at mobile casinos powered by leading providers like Playtech, Microgaming, NetEnt, Betsoft and etc. Also, if you are a fan of a particular roulette variant you should find out whether the site offers it or not. Naturally, there are different kinds of players and therefore some roulette tables have low, whereas others have high table limits. Join an iPhone casino whose table limits suit you and your budget the best. Finally, to save you the trouble of searching, here is a list of top three iPhone friendly casinos where players can play high quality real money roulette games:
- Spin Palace Casino
- LeoVegas Casino
- 888 Casino

Today let me show you the last 6 shades of the ILNP Fall 2015 collection. There are some amongst them that I really like and there are shades that were rather meant for others not me.
Mona Lisa
The one that I struggled with is Mona Lisa – somehow I don't like this shade at all. However it has a perfect quality: it covers easily and smoothly in two coats, so if you like muted browns, then don't hesitate, you'll love this polish. :)
Maiden Lane
But fortunately here we have Maiden Lane which I like so much! *_* This mid toned grey comes alive when light hits it, thanks to the ultra holo flakes. It's such a sophisticated and elegant shade! Covers in two coats.
When it comes to ILNP multichrome polishes, I tend to prefer blues, greens and purples, so Greatness isn't really my cup of tea. But I do see that it's a gorgeous warm shade, that screams fall. The multichrome effect is weaker on the nails than in the bottle, but the polish covers in two easy coats. :)
Cameo (H)
Cameo (H) is easy-peasy for me: I really really loved Cameo from the summer collection, so of course it just got even more beautiful with the delicate holo effect. :) Covers in two coats.
You all know that I'm a huge and I mean HUGE fan of the ultra chrome flakie polishes. All of them. (Okay, truth to be told, somehow I don't really like Luna and Phoenix, but even I don't understand why.) And I love fall. So fall in a bottle, in the shape of multichrome flakes is an absolute winner for me of course. <3 It has orange, copper, gold and some magenta in it and it's so so so beautiful!! *_*
The Road To Awe
If I had to choose between The Road To Awe and Glory, I'd say Glory is a bit more interesting for me, but The Road To Awe is still unbelievably gorgeous too. It has purple, magenta, burgundy, copper, gold and some green in it, I could stare at it for days. *_*
And here they are in 4 or 5 coats:
So that was it, we finished the whole collection, you can find the other two posts here and here. I think ILNP did a very good job with these 17 polishes, they offer a big variety of colours and finishes. I'm pretty sure that most of you will find a shade or two (or 3 or 4 :D) that you like a lot. :)
Pre-orders start today at ILNP, Hypnotic Polish and Nailland Hungary. :)

Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge
While there are several different ecosystem types present at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, tidal marsh is strongly in the majority. "This is a 16 thousand acre refuge, and 12 thousand of those acres are tidal marsh," explained regional biologist Susan Guiteras of the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Such a large expanse of saltmarsh is particularly rare on the eastern coast; it makes up the largest stretch of saltmarsh north of Virginia that has not faced significant alterations. The size and quality of this marsh makes it especially important for migratory birds, which use Bombay Hook as a midway stopover point along the Atlantic flyway. The saltmarsh requires minimal management on the part of the biologist staff, but does afford significant research opportunities, including with the University of Delaware. A system of dikes allows biologists at Bombay Hook NWR to manage their freshwater impoundments also to cater to the migratory birds of each season. Primarily fed by rainwater and runoff, the impoundments are lowered during the spring to expose mudflats for migratory shorebirds (known as a slow spring drawdown). During the summer, vegetation germinates and grows thicker. By fall, the impoundments are allowed to refill until shallow water has accumulated for ducks and other waterfowl. This temporally flexible management strategy allows the ecosystems to be ideal for each round of migrants throughout the year. The dike system, however, is currently in need of replacement. Blockades have begun to rust away, preventing sufficient control of water movement. A recent collaboration with Ducks Unlimited will provide entirely new dikes for the refuge. Bombay Hook NWR also contains a significant amount of upland fields. Until 2010, these fields were a mix of natural grasslands, managed by the Bombay Hook staff, and agricultural fields, managed by private farmers. Historically, this had been a mutually beneficial arrangement: farmers were given land to grow crops, and the traditional practices meant that the agricultural fields provided habitat for wildlife when not in season. However, farming practices have drastically changed in the past several decades, without reevaluation by the Bombay Hook management to make sure that practices were still ultimately beneficial to wildlife. With recent lawsuits by bird advocacy groups, Bombay Hook NWR halted all agricultural practices on the refuge in 2010. Because these many acres were reclaimed all at once, management was not able to keep up with such a huge change, and invasive species have come to dominate the upland fields. This predicament illustrates the importance of strategic and well thought-out management changes, whenever they are possible. Bombay Hook NWR is a testament to the potential success of coastal wetland management at a time when this ecosystem type faces a myriad of threats, both natural and anthropogenic. Natural subsidence, periodic storms, and changing tides are constant drivers of wetland loss. Normally, a coastal wetland may be able to persist against such threats, but the addition of human-induced factors makes resilience more difficult. Sea level rise, accelerated by climate change, could mean loss of 20-60% of the world's coastal wetlands in this century if these ecosystems are not able to migrate inland quickly. Pollution and nutrient runoff pose health risks for wetland wildlife, and can lead to toxic algal blooms. Human development of wetlands, such as dredging and filling, as well as alterations to the hydrology caused by dams and other structures, can lead to physical wetland loss or saltwater intrusion. With so many dangers facing coastal wetlands today, Bombay Hook NWR remains as an example of effective management of these ecosystems in peril.

There are so many articles about the benefits of medical marijuana nowadays that it is easy to forget about another way cannabis can significantly improve our lives. We are talking about hemp, a crop that provides us with all kinds of things, from plastic to ecosystem protectors.
Here you will find a list of ways hemp can help us make our life even better and healthier.
Unlike flax and cotton, which are very fragile plants and require strong protection, hemp is naturally resistant to pests. It means that it does not require herbicides or pesticides during the growing process. Compared to cotton, hemp can be much healthier for a human.
However, the biggest damage is caused by pesticides indirectly. When you add them to the water for your crop, they go directly to the underground water, and then move on to rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans. That harms all the living creatures that drink this water or use it as their habitat.
Some of the studies notice a possible link between consuming pesticide-contaminated water and products and the high risk of getting cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, and even birth defects.
Using hemp instead of other fragile crops can significantly decrease the use of pesticides, and in some situations, even forgo using the unnecessary toxins at all.
Hemp can be used for the areas that suffer from erosion. This plant is quite tough and can grow in pretty much any kind of soil. Due to its very developed root system, it can even successfully grow on slopes, and, at the same time, it will help hold the soil together and prevent landslide or scouring.
Moreover, when hemp crop is left on the ground, it can serve as an additional source of nutrients for other plants. The stem and leaves of hemp are nutrient-dense and therefore can replenish the elements the soil had given to other plants or enrich naturally poor soil.
It sounds a bit unreal, but it is true. The plastic we all use is mostly made of cellulose that derived from petroleum. It is toxic and difficult to recycle (so far, there only 23 percent of the total plastic amount in the U.S. has been recycled). Therefore, plastic production contaminates the environment.
This problem is especially important when it comes to the contamination of oceans: The Great Pacific garbage patch is estimated to be more than 270,000 square miles (and that is the size of Texas). All this plastic requires about 400―1,000 years to decompose.
At the same time, hemp can be a wonderful alternative source of cellulose, and therefore, it can be used for manufacturing plastic. Such plastic will be biodegradable and not toxic.
Hemp can substitute petroleum not only in manufacturing plastic products; it can also be fuel just like diesel. However, unlike the fuel we use now in the U.S., hemp fuel is 100% renewable and organic, and that means it will not damage the environment—not on the production stage, not when burned in an engine. Such biofuel works at 97 percent efficiency rate, burns at a lower temperature, and exudes a grassy odor instead of the toxic petroleum smell. If at least one-third of the total number of vehicles in the U.S. used hemp biofuel instead of petroleum, the mother nature (and humans as well) would feel much better.
Contaminated soil can cause real problems: toxic materials can remain in the soil for decades and affect all the life in the area. This issue is especially important for places that have radioactive contamination.
However, some of the studies have proven that hemp can remove the toxic elements from the environment, and especially from the soil. In fact, hemp is considered one of the best phyto-remediative plants. These days, you can see that hemp growing helps improve the ecology in Chernobyl and Fukushima.
Hemp can also significantly improve the ecological situation in industrial areas where soil is often contaminated with calcium, magnesium, potassium, or iron. For instance, the Zenit hemp strain absorbs calcium and iron from the soil, and the Silvana and Diana strains uptake magnesium.
The production of cotton is very toxic; synthetic fibers based on petrochemical materials are toxic not only during manufacturing but also during their transformation into a final product (clothes). Compared to them, hemp fibers are completely safe. Hemp clothes are absolutely organic (which means they do not affect your health), and they do not require a difficult manufacturing process with toxic residue (hemp fibers are easily extracted from the plant). Plus, such clothes are UV-resistant and can serve you much longer than the cotton ones.
Unfortunately, there is no way to substitute all the wooden production with hemp, but it is possible to use this plant for quite a big industrial segment: manufacturing paper.
While trees take years before they become ready for producing paper, hemp can be grown within just a few months, which makes this industry much more efficient and environment-friendly. It does not need chlorine bleaching, which contaminates the air; plus, hemp can prevent further deforestation, which has loomed large in the recent years (there are only 2.4 million square miles left of the original 6 million square miles of forest on Earth).
Hemp can reduce air pollution in many ways. First, if it is used instead of fuel for vehicles, it will significantly improve the quality of air in big cities and along the routes. It can also affect air pollution when used as a paper source: this way, the industry will not have to use chlorine bleaching that it very toxic; plus, it will save trees.
Today, the United States is one of the leading countries in producing carbon dioxide, which is hardly something to be proud of. However, this situation can be changed by simply letting hemp be more involved in our everyday life.
Apart from using hemp for making our bodies healthier, we can use it for building our homes stronger. Wooden houses require expensive materials, while fiberboards made from hemp-based composite are much cheaper and stronger than wood. They are also lighter and provide wonderful soundproof qualities.
The other good thing is that houses made of hemp material seem to serve us much longer than wooden houses. Even if you build such a house in a humid area, it will remain resistant to mold and, therefore, serve you longer. There is evidence that a hemp house in Nagano, Japan, was built in 1698, and now, after more than 300 years, it is still standing in good condition!
And that is not to mention that manufacturing such houses causes little to no damage to the environment, and living in hemp-based buildings is healthier than in houses that are made of artificial materials that are so popular today.
The most wonderful thing about hemp is that it can grow pretty much everywhere. You can find hemp plants all over America and Eurasia continents. This is a very easy crop that requires zero pesticides and yet can mature within a few months. That makes growing hemp quite inexpensive.
At the same time, hemp is a wonderful source of nutrients. It has a striking number of vitamins, amino acids, and other healthy compounds. You can make flour and oil out of hemp or simply add the plant to your everyday food, especially if the food lacks in nutrients.
According to the statistics, almost 11 percent of the world population, which makes about 795 million people, are undernourished worldwide. And nutrient-rich plants like hemp can significantly decrease that number.
It may seem that hemp is almost a super-crop that can save the humankind and our planet from lots of problems. And the thing is, it really can! All we need is just to give it a chance to do good things and help it turn our lives towards prospering future.

"Everything here is imported," Kaitlyn says.
"Everything?" I ask.
"Everything, except for Ferrila and me."
Ferrila, the other barista, gives a little wave from the strangest espresso machine you ever did see. It's like a silver space capsule for monkeys.
"Oh," says Kaitlyn, "and the food is locovore. We buy our fruit and veggies locally."
Glad to hear that, 'cause in one hand she's holding a square white plate loaded with a scarlet splodge of lasagna — my veggie lasagna. In her other hand, sitting on a triangular plate, is a chunk of baguette cut into slices.
Hey, maybe it's an Italian baguette — this is an Italian joint, after all. It was exciting to come across this black-and-gold place about a quarter of an hour ago. It's in a beautiful old two-story Hillcrest building, with a Romeo and Juliet balcony fronting the second floor. Below the balcony, there are two black canvas canopies, and in gold letters and red numbers, the name: "Caffe Vergnano 1882." Very Olde Worlde. Yet, through the window I could see that inside it was La Dolce Vita modern: blond wood, comfy-but-sleek black furniture, that espresso machine, a white, floor-to-ceiling frosted glass wall, backlit with the etched "Vergnano" name coming through. You can imagine this in Roma.
So in I came, hoping they'd have something more than Italian coffee on hand at this time of night. It was around 9:00, when most eateries are stacking chairs on tables.
I sat down at a cool, severely square table. The walls are cream, dark green, and wine red, the red dotted with photos of other Vergnano places in Europe and Canada. The only round things in sight are tall, silver coffee-bean dispensers, and that ginormous espresso machine from Italy. The guy in charge, Hector, says it's a replica of the world's first espresso machine, from 1917, like a steam locomotive stood up on end.
I got the menu. Whew…prices okay. Panini start at $7; salads $7, $8. More serious stuff's also around $8. Pollo al Marsala ("Tender slices of chicken breast sautéed in Marsala wine, served with rosemary potatoes and green beans") topped the price list at $10.50. Of course, Italian coffee's their main deal. It runs from $1.95 for a "piccolo" espresso, through $3.50 for a "shakerato" — chilled creamy coffee in a martini glass — to $4.95 for another cold creamy drink called a "cremino." No drip coffee. Espresso only. The ladies sprinkle an "1882" stencil in cinnamon onto the fancier drinks.
"That year, 1882," says Hector, "is when Enrico Vergnano started selling coffee, near Turin. Nearly 130 years later, I am their first place in the United States."
But, hey, food. The panini ($6.95) look good. There's turkey breast with hearts of artichokes and tartar sauce or grilled veggies with brie cheese or prosciutto with mozzarella, tomato, and lettuce. There's a "zuppa verde," vegetable soup of the day, made here, Hector says. And I see a lady eating a salad with tuna and olives a couple tables over — "insalata mista," she says, ($7.50). It looks pretty filling.
Hector — he's Italian, from Savona, near Turin — tells me they can make anything on the menu, even though we're heading toward closing time, including the "pasta del giorno"; it's pesto sauce today ($7.75). "I make it myself," he says. "We also have a lasagna al forno you might like. It's vegetarian. I put in squash, yellow zucchini, green zucchini, one layer of eggplant, a layer of pasta, a layer of béchamel, tomato on top, parmesan on top of that…"
Love pesto. And the lasagna's more expensive, at $9.25. But it sounds so warm and inviting, I go for that. When it comes, with heavy cutlery and a black cloth napkin, fresh is the word. There's even a slightly crispy panini base. It all makes for luscious, creamy, crunchy chomping. With the slices of baguette, it's more than enough food. I have a glass of water to wash everything down.
Hector comes over. "Like at home?" he asks. I nod. "Better." (Sorry, Carla.)
"Italian men are very particular," he says. "They fight with wives over dinner because their wives never cook exactly like their moms did. It's the same with coffee. If an espresso sits in the cup more than 30 seconds, we throw it away. There are no Starbucks in Italy."
I get an espresso ($1.95). Ferrila brings it on a black tray with a little flat biscuit and a shot glass of water. Classy.
"Drink that before your coffee," says Hector. "Clear your taste buds." I slurp the water and glug the coffee. Beautiful end.
I ask if he has Wifi here. "People sitting silent, alone with their computers?" he says. "No. We want to be social. Two men came in and started playing backgammon last week. I went over and thanked them, because this is what I want us to be."
Turns out Hector's lucky to be, at all. "Once I had a restaurant in Caracas, Venezuela, with 22 employees. I got robbed. They threw us in our walk-in freezer. We survived. So lucky. One of the employees who hid let us out, after the robbers left. Then, when I was working 16 hours a day for Hilton, I had a stroke, at age 43. And when I was lying there in the hospital, four words came to me: 'It's…not…worth…it.' My wife said, 'Hector, you could return to Italy, Savona, the farm, a cow, and some hens. Slow down!' But I always wanted to have a little Italian coffee shop in the United States. I contacted Vergnano, and one year later, I have it! I'm very happy."
Only thing lacking? A Vespa, to zip me off in style.

The New Year is a great chance to assess your lifestyle and think about how to make the coming year the best yet. If you're interested in finding out how to reduce cholesterol levels, maintain healthy levels, or just have a better diet overall in 2019, these 10 easy, practical steps can help. So read on, and enjoy a healthier, happier 12 months!
- Follow the 21 Day Challenge
Following a structured plan can help you stick to your goals in the long run, so you don't start the year with a bang and then run out of steam. Try kicking off the New Year by taking the Flora ProActiv 21 Day Challenge: three weeks of reducing cholesterol levels, eating better, and becoming more active.
- Try a new exercise class
If you are interested in ways to reduce cholesterol levels, it's important to consider your lifestyle as a whole. Regular exercise doesn't lower cholesterol directly, but it can help lower stress and improve your sleep, and it can also help you maintain a healthy weight. Try out some new classes at your local leisure centre, from boxing to zumba, to find a form of exercise you enjoy.
- Replace butter with olive oil
The way we cook our food can have an impact on how much saturated fat we are eating day-to-day. If you frequently use butter for cooking, try replacing it with olive oil. Olive oil is rich in unsaturated fats, which (when eaten as part of a balanced diet and used to replace saturated fats in the diet) can help to lower cholesterol levels*. On bread, toast, or melted over veg, you could also try a spread containing cholesterol lowering plant sterols, like ProActiv**.
- Try having a Fish Supper Friday
Fatty red meats are often a source of saturated fat*, so why not challenge yourself by having a Fish Supper Friday? Swap steak, burgers, and sausages for an oily fish containing unsaturated fat*, such as salmon, sardines, or mackerel.
- Choose reduced fat dairy
Some dairy products like cream, cheese, and yoghurt can contain higher levels of saturated fat, but don't have an obvious alternative. However, you don't have to cut all dairy out of your diet. Read food labels carefully and choose non-fat or skimmed options to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. If you're lowering cholesterol levels, you could try swapping milk for Flora ProActiv skimmed milk drink, which has added plant sterols**.
- Try a new recipe once a month
When you're trying to reduce cholesterol levels, you'll need to make a few simple changes to your diet (more on that here). Settling into new and better eating habits is much easier if you have a few tasty meal ideas to fall back on. Change things up with a new Flora ProActiv recipe at least once a month to find new favourites.
- Buy a steamer
While fat has its place in a healthy diet, especially unsaturated fat, we still need to keep our intake within the recommended limit. If one of your New Year's resolutions is to balance your diet better by eating less fat, then throw out the frying pan and use a steamer. Steaming doesn't require any added oils or fats, so you can enjoy the vitamins and fibre in your vegetables without adding anything.
- Kick start your day with a Flora ProActiv Mini Drink
A straightforward way to get the recommended amount of plant sterols a day is to have a Flora ProActiv Mini Drink with your main meal**. There are four different flavours to choose from, and just one drink is the recommended amount of plant sterols for one day.
- Sign up for a 5K, 10K, or even a half marathon

When I received a copy of Homemade Doughnuts, by Kamal Grant, for review, my eight-year-old son nearly lost his mind with happiness. This book provides a number of delectable doughnut recipes, as well as icings, glazes, fillings, and fun toppings, like carrot sprinkles and orange dust, which I can't wait to try. My doughnut-loving son and I spent several evenings together at bedtime, reading through the recipes and admiring the gorgeous photography. We spent a great deal of time deciding what recipe to make first, and which icings to use.
Here's the thing, though—I was terrified. Making doughnuts seems like a tricky business, not to mention that I do not own a lot of the special equipment required, and I am somewhat petrified of deep frying. And yet my son was so convinced that whatever doughnuts we would make together would be the most awesome doughnuts ever. With that level of trust, how could I say no?
It turned out that we had one of the most fun Saturday mornings ever making these doughnuts. We decided to make plain cake doughnuts, baking them instead of frying, which worked nicely. If you do not have a deep fryer, like me, don't let that deter you, baking works just fine. I used a mini bundt cake pan, but there are proper doughnut pans available in most kitchen stores. I was quite nervous to try it since the stakes were so high—could I really make the most awesome doughnuts ever? But the Homemade Doughnuts book is so well laid out and easy to follow, that making these were actually a snap.
My son and I set up icing stations with vanilla, chocolate, and his favourite, maple. I also had a variety of sprinkles available for more decorating fun. If you're looking for a fun spring break activity, I highly recommend it. It's also impressive—I made my own doughnuts. No one has to know how easy it is.
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the egg, milk, and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine. Rest the dough for 10 minutes.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough comes together to form a ball. Roll out the dough to about 1-inch (2 cm) thick. Cut the dough using a floured doughnut cutter or a round cookie cutter. (Nicole Note: I spooned the dough into the well-sprayed mini bundt cake pan.)
Pour the oil to a depth of 3 inches (7.5 cm) into an electric fryer or deep saucepan, and heat to 375°F (190°C). Place three or four doughnuts in the fryer and cook for 1 B/c minutes, then flip and cook the other side for 1 B/c minutes. Fry the holes separately, making sure they are submerged in the oil, about 2 minutes total. Remove from the fryer and place on paper towels or a rack to cool and drain. (Nicole Note: I baked these at 375 degrees for about ten minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the doughnut came out clean.)
Yield: Makes 12 to 15 doughnuts

Editorial Review
I have been hearing people raved about 3CE (3 Concept Eyes) lippies for ages but never did get a chance to try it until today. Their products are such hot sellers, it was actually completely sold out in some parts of Taiwan! Even in Korea itself, most stocks tend to be OOS.. so you can only imagine how intrigued I am with this brand.
3CE have a total 10 colors for their lip lacquers and the one I've received is in Pink Boom! Obviously it is not the usual lip palette I would go for as it is way toooo loud for my liking. Very simple, matte black bottle with a standard applicator – typical chic and slick packaging.
I can understand why it is popular with many. The color is opaque and long lasting, perfect for a girls night out. You can compare the product and its finish with NYX's matte soft lips. The texture is very velvety smooth and rich – allowing it to "stain" the lips super easily. But honestly, this is just not my cup of tea. Maybe it is the color that render my opinion bias, I find that this shade makes me look older and my teeth, yellower. The lip lacquer also accentuates wrinkles on my dry lips, making it look really unattractive 🙁
Remember not to take too much of the product at a go as it is quite runny and will make a hot pink mess everywhere.. Well, at least it happened to a noob like me and even stained my teeth -.- I do reckon it is better off for layering on top of lipsticks/lipbalms and even creating ombre lips (if you're more into the natural look) instead of using it on its own. Not worth the hype, really.

Not enough good can be said about Ashton Michael's Spring/ Summer 2014 line and Ashton Hirota himself. We wrote an article on him and his newest line only 2 weeks ago but decided to dig deeper. His clothing captivated us as it does all the countless celebrities he dresses. As such, we reached out to his PR to set up an interview with the man himself. We wanted to experience the edge that his designs exude, and sure enough, Ashton did not disappoint:
If you could choose 1 person you would love to see wear your line who would it be?
My grandmother who has passed.
When did you first realize you had a talent and passion for design?
I started sewing when I was a child. I remember making my first garment when I was in is grade school. It was a pair of boxers that were half black with white polka dots and half black and white pinstripe. I thought I was soooo cool!. Years later I started cutting up vintage belts and making cuffs and selling them. I suppose you can say that I've always had a hankering to be an innovator and creator— being a designer just felt the most natural.
What continues to be your biggest inspiration?
Communities that have the strongest cultural pride. The regulations and rules that are expected as a way of life fascinate me. My last collection was inspired by Hasidic Jews and East LA chollos: Polar opposites, but but so branded by how they show themselves to the world. Using apparel as your identifier is so powerful and captivating. I want to create that sort of cult following and visual branding for AM.
What has been your greatest achievement so far?
My entire career has been my greatest achievement. I have been an entrepreneur in the fashion industry since I was 19 and never had a backer or investor. Being 31 now, self made with a laundry list of A-list celebs that I have been blessed to work with and create personal relationships with is the best feeling. Furthermore, I have shown collections on both coasts and sell internationally. I'm humbled and appreciative for all I've accomplished and for those who support my movement.
Why do you choose to focus on neutrals and only bring color into your designs upon request?
My brain operates on that pallet. I love tonal colors and the use of texture within that, rather than obvious contrasts. I don't need to make a loud statement by doing something obvious. The textures and contrasts in my work make an impact to those who pay attention to detail. For me, that is the difference between a garment that becomes staple in your closet vs. something that is only good for one season. (at the most). Some people say it's playing it safe; I say it's creating timeless garments.
Are you still sporting your awesome mustache?
No. that's so urban outfitters now.. LOL
Growing up, did your sense of style make you an outcast, or were you seen as the cool guy you're perceived as now?
I have been through every personal style on the planet. When I was a kid, I would wear green 10-hole Dr. Martens and a cardigan. Then, as I got older, I started wearing Timberlands and Rigo sport gear. My hair has gone from dreads, to Mohawk to 3-color "AFI" bangs. Long story short, I have been through the ringer finding who I am. My brother was a gang member and my sister was a gutter punk, so I became a fusion of both of them… happily. I was also "best dressed " in my senior class. No matter what I was wearing, it made a lasting impression.
You have mentioned you don't see a specific fashion category that the Ashton Michael fits under, do you think the line may be creating a new style category all together?
I just don't ever want to be put in a box. Urban Goth, Street Goth, blah blah blah. I just want to be an individual who can be associated with other likeminded designers, but not clumped together.
What is the worst thing a man could wear? What clothing item irritates you if any?
I'm going to play this PC , but there are A LOT of clothing items or "brand trends" that drive me bat shit crazy. The one I hate the most is text graphic BS that people label " fashion forward." Like, let's get a grip. It's a screen print kids, not 3D printed art. But the masses are so easily persuaded by marketing and PR that it's hard to get mad at the brands, but easier to get mad at the consumer for falling for it.
What's your number one piece of advice to anyone seeking to dress well or stylish?
Buy Ashton Michael. Done.
Here is the official lookbook of Ashton Michael S/S 2014:

A Crain's Chicago Real Estate Daily article on student housing reminded me that I'd been meaning to check into the status of Fornelli Hall, a student housing development that occupies a number of floors at the Pittsfield Building, 55 E Washington, in the Loop.
I'd been hearing that some of the apartments in the building were being rented to the public, not just to students. Crain's quoted a representative of Fornelli Hall as saying that "rents … are down 20 percent vs 2008 because of increased competition," which would explain seeking a broader market for the apartments.
Apartments in the Pittsfield Building are currently being marketed as Fornelli Tower. A leasing representative at the building told me that 1-bedroom rents started at $1,199, two-bedrooms at $1,399, and 3-bedroom, 2-bath units ran upwards from $1,500. Thinking I might have misheard, I asked her to repeat the prices.
Whether you find these to be the best deals in the Loop will depend in part on how adaptable you are to living among college students and whether you find the floor plans workable.
You can read some of the history of the Pittsfield Building at DesignSlinger.

Sales Policy: All Returns And Exchange Are Subject to A 24% Restocking Fee After The Shipment Has Left our Facility.
Composition and properties
Unlike regular mild steel, 304 Stainless Steel is composed of iron that has been alloyed with a number of different materials. Chief amongst these is Chromium, which comprises around 18 percent, and Nickel (up to 8 percent). Together, these give it one of its other common names, 18/8 Steel. In addition, 304 Stainless Steel contains Manganese (2 percent) and Silicon (1 percent), as well as traces of Carbon, Sulphur and Phosphorus (a fraction of one percent each), and sometimes Molybdenum (0.6 percent).
These additional elements give 304 Stainless Steel very different properties to other forms of steel. It does not rust or corrode under normal conditions, and is therefore suitable for applications where it is constantly wet or dirty. It does not need painting or finishing, and has an attractive surface in its own right; this both makes it easy to clean and the finish not degrade or flake off over time. It is also non-magnetic, meaning that it will not magnetize or collect magnetized dust and filings. (However, it may become slightly magnetic when worked due to the effect this has on the metal's structure.) It is not heat-treatable, but this is generally unnecessary due to its innate properties anyway. It is comparatively resistant to thermal and electrical conductivity, compared with other forms of steel. These properties mean that it is typically used for home and industrial applications, such as stainless steel screws and machinery parts, while sheet metal is often used for surfaces and appliance housing and covers.
304 Stainless Steel is highly robust but is also easily worked with the right equipment. Depending on the thickness of the sheet or plate, it can be cut, drilled, machined, and welded without issue.
Thickness and finishes
304 Stainless Steel sheets and plates are available in several finishes, but the most common are 2B (milled) finish, #4 finish (brushed) and Chrome #8 (mirror finish) is also readily available.
2B is a milled finish that is dull grey and semi-smooth to the touch. Like other forms of stainless steel it has excellent corrosion resistance and can be shaped relatively easily with the right tools and techniques. It is suited to applications where these properties are desirable but a brushed/polished finish is not required.
#4 is a brushed finish that is smoother than 2B. Note that the finish has a direction to the grain, so if your sheet of steel is not square then you will need to specify the direction that you would like the grain to run – across or along the length of the sheet. Like 2B, it offers outstanding resistance to corrosion and is readily workable with the right equipment.
Chrome is a shiny, mirror-like finish that is very smooth. Like our 2B and brushed finishes, it is very corrosive-resistant and magnetic. This is perfect for all applications.
The sheets of metal are cold-rolled, before being annealed (heat treated to alter the crystalline structure of the metal). They are then 'pickled' or treated with an acid solution to remove any surface oxidation and impurities, and a layer of Chromium oxide (passivation) is allowed to form on the surface. For the 2B finish, the sheets are passed through a further set of rollers, and for #4 they are brushed to give the distinctive smooth appearance and light grain. A series of other finishes are available, each using additional processes.
The sheets or plates are available in pre-cut sizes, and with a range of thicknesses, from 0.024-inch (around 1/40 inch or 6mm) up to full inch-thick plate (25.4mm). Sheets can also be custom cut to size, depending on your specific requirements.
Stainless steel sheets are perfect for:
- Food handling and processing – surfaces and surrounds, such as counters and splashbacks
- Dairy processing plants and milking equipment
- Kitchen appliances and some cookware
- Hospital equipment and surfaces
- Marine hardware
- Kickplates for doors
- Restroom panels
- Other applications in which the strength of steel is required as well as resistance to corrosion
Despite the name, Stainless Steel can stain slightly over time, in particular (extreme) conditions. These include low-oxygen environments, and those in which there is a high level of salinity (such as constant exposure to seawater). This can be mitigated by regular cleaning and maintenance, and the alloy is significantly more resistant to damage in these conditions than other alternatives. However, in the vast majority of circumstances corrosion and staining should not be an issue. The Chromium content of the steel forms a light oxide film on the surface which prevents further oxidation in all but the harshest environments. This prevents corrosion from spreading to the inside of the sheet.
Although 304 and 430 stainless steel is extremely robust, some maintenance is required to keep it in top condition. You should clean it regularly to remove any dirt or chemicals using a soft cloth and warm water. Stains can usually be removed with detergent. At the point of installation you should check carefully to ensure the surface of the steel is free from stains or blemishes. Further maintenance and careful cleaning is recommended between once a year and once a month, depending on the environment in which it is used.

Packed into the protesters' pen and surrounded by police, a Muslim woman shouts: "In our thousands, in our millions, we are all Palestinians." She is with a hotchpotch of generations and ethnicities, impervious to freezing temperatures, hurling slogans at the Israeli embassy in Kensington, west London. The chants become more provocative as the evening draws on, when younger people arrive, some of them of school age. Soon the takbirs are heard above the traffic: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar" - "God is great, God is great."
In a week when the head of MI5 and government advisers have warned that anger over the Gaza conflict could have repercussions for national security, British Muslims are demonstrating across the country, their fury and activism undiminished. Events in Gaza have rocked and unified them.
Eschewing the traditional networks of mosques and community centres, Muslims are using emails, text messages and social networking sites to urge each other to boycott household names, give their savings to charity, protest and pray that God alleviates Palestinian suffering. All this, despite the majority of British Muslims coming from the Indian subcontinent and having little or no connection to the occupied territories.
One of the Kensington protesters is Nargees Choudhury, a student at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. "I've seen lots of Soas students at the demonstrations. I am not Palestinian. But I have a sense of duty, not just as a Muslim, but as a human being. For me, silence equals complicity. You are not going to find any Muslim who hasn't reacted strongly to this."
Her friend Myriam Francois Cerrah has protested outside the Israeli embassy every day. In the hallway of her home a placard reads: "4 wrongs don't make 500 rights" - referring to the skewed civilian casualty numbers. She says: "I wear a Palestinian scarf as a symbol of remembrance and solidarity. Ultimately, many people feel powerless - my family and I watch the news with eyes streaming. I've not eaten properly since this started. My son is angry - he is only eight but he doesn't understand why he's seeing dead babies on the news. It is hard to give him an answer I'm myself convinced by."
The harshest critics are found in the frontline of demonstrations. Unlike previous politically charged events - the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - there are fewer condemnations from the mosques. Imams, burned by accusations of inciting violence, have remained low-key, encouraging their congregations to return to the teachings of the Qur'an and Hadith, and seek spiritual comfort.
Ghulam Hussain Patel, from Walthamstow mosque, said he avoided politics in his sermons. "The sin of the people of Gaza is small, but their punishment is heavy. We accept that Hamas fired rockets but there must be a ceasefire."

I've got a remark/question concerning the monetary values described in paragraph 4.4 of the Xforms data model draft. The four facets min, max, decimals and currency are clear to me. However I see that the value used in the example is notated in US numeric form which uses the dot as decimal seperator. However in European and other countries the comma sign is used as decimal seperator. (and of course the dot in European countries is used to indacte number of thousands and US the comma is used) Imagine a form submission appears as: <price>26.315</price> When you're parsing this monetary value you cannot "see" if we are dealing with a value which says twenty-six thousand three hundred and fifteen or if we mean 26 with as decimals 315. Is there a way you could figure this out? or do we have to add something to the monetary data type ?

In yesterday's blog post I forgot to mention that I am building a kayak rack for my truck. This is the second time I have built this rack. The first time was in 2006 when I retired from the Army and couldn't afford to purchase one so I searched the web for one made of wood. What I found was this great design on what was then known as workbench magazine now known as My Home My Style Magazine.
Back then I was driving a Ford Ranger and now I am driving a Nissan Frontier so now I need to make the height change for the new vehicle.
There are several great things about this design. First it cost about $100 dollars to make and second; using the new hammered metal shaker can paint it looks like it's made of metal.
Note: The measurements that are on the full size cut out are not correct.
I hope that you consider using this pattern if you need to transport a boat or even more fun WOOD. Cheers
After the First World War, one soldier wrote this: "They are more to me than life, these voices, they are more than motherliness and more than fear; they are the strongest, most comforting thing there is anywhere: they are the voices of my comrades."

A Dictionary of All Religions and Religious Denominations/Jumpers
JUMPERS, so called from their practice of humping during the time allotted for religious worship1785 and instruction. They /originated in Wales, about the year 176, when the Calvinistic Methodists had made some progress in the principality. Several of the first preachers in that connexion were naturally of very warm tempers, and zealously engaged in promoting their views of religion. Their discourses were calculated to produce a strong sensation among the hearers. Such as were ignorant, and at the same time of a warm temper, under deep impression, gave way to their feelings. They cried out loudly, some uttering one thing and some another in the midst of the congregation some clapped their hands, other shook hands one with another, and others, rejoicing at the discovery which the gospel makes of a Savior, began to jump for joy. This was taken notice of, and b some considered as an indication of pious zeal. The custom spread like wild-fire. Very soon jumping began to be considered as a proof that the people enjoyed the presence of God. Many preachers among the independents and baptists imitated the methodists, and discovered their religious zeal by shouting and jumping.
Instances have also bee known in Wales, where the clergy were methodistically inclined to this jumping, in the parish churches. This exercise is sometimes continued, with occasional singing or exhortation between, for hours, until the strength of the party is quite exhausted.
Mr. Evans relates, that about the year 1785, he happened to be present accidentally at a meeting which terminated in jumping. It was held in the open air, on a sunday evening, near Newport, Monmouthshire. The preacher was one of the late Huntingdon's students, who concluded his sermon with the recommendation of jumping ; and to allow him the praise of consistency, he got down from the chair on which he stood, and jumped along with them. The arguments he adduced from this purpose were, that David dances before the ark ; and that the man, whose lameness was removed, leaped and praised God for the mercy which he had received. He expatiated on these topics with uncommon fervency, and then drew the inference, that they ought to show similar expressions of joy, for the blessings Jesus Christ had put into their possession. He then gave an impassioned sketch of the sufferings of the Saviour ; and hereby roused the passions of a few around him into a state of violent agitation. About nine men and seven women, for some little time, rocked to and fro, groaned aloud, and then jumped with a kind of frantic fury. Some of the audience flew in all directions ; others gazed on in silent amazement. They all finally dispersed except the TEXT MISSING , who continued their TEXT MISSING from eight in the evening to near eleven at night. TEXT MISSING at least kneeled down in circle, holding each other by the hand, while one of them prayed with great fervour, and TEXT MISSING all rising up from their TEXT MISSING, departed. But previous to their dispersion, they wildly TEXT MISSING up towards the sky, and TEXT MISSING one another that they would soon meet there and be TEXT MISSING again separated.
Several of the more zealous TEXT MISSING preachers in Wales TEXT MISSINGnmened the people to cry TEXT MISSINGogoniant, (the Welsh word for glory) Amen, &c. &c, to themselves in violent agitation ; and finally to jump till they were quite exhausted, so as often to be obliged to fall down on the floor, or on the field where this kind of worship is held.
Some years since, Mr. W. Williams, a blind Welsh poet, wrote a pamphlet in defence of this practice, which was patronized by the abettors of jumping in religious assemblies but viewed by the serious and grave with disapprobation. It appears from late accounts that the jumpers are comparatively very few, even among the Methodists ; and those are persons of very warm tempers, and animated manners.[1]

International kite festival takes off with flying colours in Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad, Jan. 10 (ANI): The skyline of Ahmedabad wore a vibrant look on Sunday as the 27th International Kite Festival kicked off with fliers from over 30 countries joining the riot of colours.
Kite festivals were held across Gujarat during the last week, which culminated to the one organised at the Sabarmati riverfront, which was officially inaugurated by Chief Minister Anandiben Patel and Governor O.P. Kohli.
"When you see kites soaring high, you see the reflection of your progress as well. So, it can be called a festival of growth and prosperity," said Kohli.
As kites of various shapes and colours dotted the horizon, the international participants expressed their enthusiasm about the festival.
"The difference is incredible. This is so amazing in India. I can't imagine the support from the local people. It's absolutely amazing. I am excited about the festival. It's unbelievable. We were in China a few months ago and it's nothing compared to this. This is absolutely out of the world," said an international participant.
A participant from Italy was all praise for the festival.
"It's five times in Ahmedabad. It's a very nice festival. I love this festival for the organisation and it's a pleasure for me, an honour for me flying kites with this people," he said.
The International Kite Festival is being celebrated in Gujarat since 1989. (ANI)

ABA encourages IndieCommerce stores to establish their own payment gateway account with Authorize.net.
- Receive payments from sales on your website daily, rather than twice a month.
- More control over your settings (address verification, regions, fraud protection, issuing card countries, etc).
- Have your store name reflected on the customer credit card statement, rather than "INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE".
- Refund customers directly.
- ABA collects 4.5% of all credit card transactions processed through the shared gateway account to cover the cost of charge-backs. IndieCommerce users who establish their own Authorize.net account aren't subject to that 4.5% fee.
- You are signing up for a Payment Gateway account ($25*/mo + a one-time setup fee). Most stores will already have a merchant account. If you do not have such an account, Authorize.net can help you establish one through a partner service. You can obtain the necessary information by asking your Merchant Service Provider for a "Merchant Software Parameter Sheet".
- Confirm that your existing merchant account can be used to process all 4 major credit cards (Visa, MC, Amex and Discover). Sometimes stores can have different merchant accounts for each card type, for in-store credit card processing, however, Authorize.net will accept only 1 merchant account for all card types.
There are two optional additional services: (both of which are free as of early 2015)
- Advanced Fraud Detection Suite: Although your gateway account comes with a basic fraud protection suite, the 'Advanced Fraud Detection Suite' is highly recommended, as it gives you more granular control over the address verification settings and you can also set filters against specific countries or IP addresses.
- Customer Information Manager: The Customer Information Manager (CIM) securely stores customers' credit card profile on Authorize.net's secure servers, for future reuse. In particular, it is needed to reauthorize expired authorizations or to edit an existing order if that is higher than the original amount. It's important to note, if you have been using the shared gateway offered by ABA and are switching to your own, existing CIM profiles saved for your customers cannot be carried over to your new account. This feature must be enabled on your Authorize.net account for it to work with an IndieCommerce website shopping cart.
When you're ready to sign up for your own Authorize.net account, you may follow the link below to sign up online: https://www.authorize.net/sign-up/pricing/ [1] or if you prefer to walk through the process over the phone, Authorize.net has an excellent support team that can be reached toll-free at 866-437-0476.
At least one week before you plan to switch to your new account, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com [2] or call 800-637-0037 (option 2) to schedule a date for the switch. We'll confirm that the steps below are clear to you and help you complete them if necessary.
- Set up your new account at https://www.authorize.net/sign-up/pricing/ [1]. This must be completed in advance. Once you have your new account, you will receive an email from Authorize.net to activate your account. Please activate your account before proceeding.
- Contact ABA to schedule a day to make the switch.
You must be able to log in to your Authorize.net account as an Account Administrator or Account Owner.
Make sure you have your username and password for Authorize.net handy before starting the steps below.
When following some of the steps below, Authorize.net may prompt you with the Secret Question you have set up for your account. Make sure you know the answer to your secret question (or can talk to someone who does). Note: As of Feb/11/2019 Authorize.net has replaced the Secret Question with a one-time verification via email. Please make sure you have access to the email associated with the account.
- Configure the Fraud Detection Suite filters for your Authorize.net account. Please scroll to the end of this page and open the attached pdf to review the required settings. You may also contact us to schedule a walk-through of them.
- Contact Authorize.net to help you place a test transaction to confirm that the processor information is correct.
All pending credit card orders on your site must either be completed or canceled, as these authorizations cannot be imported into your new account. Please take the following actions:
- Disable wholesaler fulfillment temporarily to make sure no new orders are sent to Ingram for fulfillment, by disabling the option on this page ..Store > Configuration > Account Information and Preferences > Store Preferences. After an order is sent to Ingram for fulfillment, it usually takes 3-4 days for us to get an invoice from Ingram and complete the order. So, this should be done at least a week before the switch.
- Disable Credit card payment method by deselecting 'Credit Card': Store > Configuration > Payment Methods. Your staff should take care of existing credit card orders. For this period of time, customers will not be able to use a credit card as a payment method. If so inclined, you may post a notice on your front page letting customers know.
The day before you have scheduled your switch, please email us your Live Public Client Key. To create a Live Public Client Key:
Sign in to Authorize.net
Click the "Account" link in the upper right corner
Click the "Manage Public Client Key" link
If you already have a public key, you will see it here. (Skip to Step 6.)
If you do not have a public key, choose to create one. Authorize.net may ask for your secret answer.
Copy the key and email it to firstname.lastname@example.com [2]. (The public key is not a secure value, so it is safe to send via email.)
- On the day you have scheduled your switch, we will confirm that all existing credit card orders have been taken care of; We will then change the settings on the Authorize.net payment gateway module to use your account information. For this, we will need the 'API Login Id' and the 'Transaction Key' for your gateway account, instructions for obtaining these can be found here on the Authorize.net site [3], we do not want you to email this information, we will obtain it from you over the phone, however we do recommend you set these up in advance. You can find this information through the merchant interface for Authorize.net; This is confidential information, so please do not email them.
- Once you are setup with your own Authorize.net account, you should enable the credit card payment method and wholesaler fulfillment (if applicable).
Place a test order:
- Place a real order with a real credit card.
- View the order (Store > Orders > View Orders, then select specific order), in the order comments, you should see a 'Transaction Id' under the authorization information.
- Login to your Authorize.net merchant interface, search for this authorization using the 'Transaction Id' from the above step or the 'Bill to' customer name. The status should be 'Authorized, pending capture'.
- Go back to the order page (on your website) and mark the order as 'Payment Received' - This step will charge the credit card.
- Again, check the status using Authorize.net merchant interface. The status should now be 'Captured, pending settlement'. The status will change to 'settled successfully' in a couple of hours, or by the end of the day.
- When that has happened, everything is working fine with your Authorize.net account. If you do not want the charge on the credit card to be permanent, go to the order page on your site, and cancel the order. This will do a 'credit' transaction on your credit card. You can now go back to Authorize.net merchant interface and verify that the authorization has been 'refunded'.
- Lastly, after one day, if there have been online credit card purchases made, you should verify that funds are being transferred to your bank account.
If at any point before, during or after setup you have a question please let us know.
*This price is subject to change without notice, however, the current price will be provided during signup.
