The annual Capital Summertime Ball concert was held on Saturday, and as usual the celebs were slaying the red carpet. Here are the outfits we wish were hanging in our wardrobe…
Little Mix
Forget double denim… Little Mix broke every fashion rule in the book and went for quadruple denim – and looked amazing. From Leigh-Anne's waterfall dress to Perrie and Jesy's miniskirts, we'd more than happily rock any (and all!) of these looks on our summer hols this year…
Louisa Johnson
Last year's X Factor winner turned up with on-trend grey hair – which we're totally digging – and a cool, tribal-inspired minidress. The tassles round the middle probably shouldn't work, but they really do. Another one we'd happily have in our holiday wardrobe! Those silver nails look good, too, don't they?
Lilah Parsons
The host of Capital FM's Breakfast Show kept things simple and went for a flattering skater dress paired with strappy black heels. We reckon this dress would be equally perfect for a romantic meal or a night out with the girls. We adore the slightly waved hair, parted fringe and bronzy eye she's rocking as well!

This afternoon I tagged the ETS 2.7.1 release so we could include some fixes in the EPD Beta 2 build.
This was mainly a bug patching release for enthought.envisage and enthought.charm, but there was also an API refactor for enthought.testing to clean out some deprecated stuff that had been hanging around. To get around installation issues with easy_install and our spaghetti mess of cross-project dependencies, putting out those three updates resulted in us having to bump version numbers on 40 of the 45 sub-projects in ETS. Sigh.
Source tarballs are up at http://code.enthought.com/enstaller/eggs/source/
Binary builds will be out early next week as we're going to focus on getting beta 2 of EPD out for PyCon.

For generations, the Thunderians have lived and thrived in the kingdom of Thundera. However, one night the kingdom is attacked by the Lizard army, led by the evil sorcerer Mumm-Ra and Grune the Destroyer. After Thundera is destroyed, a small band of surviving Thunderians led by the young heir to the throne Lion-O (who wields the powerful Sword of Omens) flees in order to seek out the Book of Omens, which is said to have the knowledge needed to defeat Mumm-Ra.
Even when they find it, they must keep the Book of Omens from falling into the wrong hands and find a way to defeat Mumm-Ra once and for all. After finding the book, the Thundercats discover that they have to find three stones of power before Mumm-Ra does. A fourth stone of power is revealed by the book near the end of the first season to be the Eye of Thundera itself, which is embedded in the Sword of Omens.

The series follows Ash Ketchum and his friends (human and Pokémon) that he makes on the way as he travels the world catching new Pokémon, battling Pokémon trainers, winning Gym Badges to enter tournaments, and thwarting the attempts of criminal organizations. The anime adapts a fair amount of video game logic from the original games, such as multiple lookalike characters in different regions and Ash being unable to carry more than six Pokémon with him at a time.

The Series was based on the 1997 blockbuster Men In Black and continued where the film left off, though with some minor changes.
Agent K remained an agent and partner to Agent J (although a Marvel Comics one-shot revealed that K's memories were restored in an unseen case).
Agent L was moved to the lab inside MiB Headquarters. The headquarters itself was no longer under the ventilator building of the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, but now at what looked like a disused area under LaGuardia airport.
These differences are possibly addressed in one episode of the series, where it is revealed that every so often some writer or Hollywood-type learns of the MIB and makes a movie about them, possibly hinting that the live-action movie was one of these incidents.
There were some further differences in appearances in the characters in the cartoon. Agent L had blond hair, blue eyes and a different hairstyle,
Agent J did not have a mustache, Edgar bug (in a Flashback sequence) was given an appearance that resembled his look in the comic adaptation of the film instead of his movie appearance, and Zed in the movie had black hair and a goatee, whereas in the series he had white hair and no goatee.
Zed's eyes were dramatically shaded in to give an impression of a lack of sleep. After season one, Agent K also received a facial redesign that made him appear younger, with the lines in his face removed, his eye color changed from brown to blue, and his hair was changed from gray-brown to regular-brown.
While the film had a semi-comedic tone, the series was more dramatic.
Ultimately, the basic plot formula was for the MIB to protect the Earth from harm, and this extended into keeping peace throughout the galaxy. Technology, as well as intergalactic politics and peacekeeping played a part, along with common criminal activity on a science fiction level.

Set in between the third film (Late 1880s) and second film (1892), Fievel, his friend, Tony and his sister, Tanya all get jobs at the local newspaper, where the audience is introduced to Nellie, who wants to be an important reporter, but only gets small assignments, as if she were a secretary to Reed, the newspaper's editor.
Throughout the film, Tanya tries to win Reed's heart, while Tony tries to get noticed by Reed and promoted to a reporter.
Like in the previous movies, where a mouse installation is directly below its human installation counterpart, the newspaper offices the mice work in is directly underneath the newspaper offices the humans work in.
Nellie gets a chance when she is assigned to report mice who disappear overnight into holes that open up on their floor all over New York. Reed makes up a, as Nellie calls it, "so-called monster" that lives under Manhattan and takes mice away during the night to add more excitement to the otherwise unimportant story, intending to sell more papers.
The night monster creates fears among the readers, as could be expected. Fievel begins having nightmares that cause him to lose sleep because of his fear of the monster; the film opens up with Fievel having a dream about being chased by what he thinks the monster looks like.
When, through Tanya, he is assigned the job of following Nellie and drawing up interperatations of what the monster looks like based on witness testimony, this makes his insomnia all the worse.
A particularly suspicious miniature French poodle named Madame Mousey,
who has started living among the mice about this time, appears at every crime scene, claiming to be a fortune teller.
The heroes finally decide to investigate her by means of the "dog council" that meets at Central Park. They also search down one of the holes, which leads directly to a group of cats hiding in the sewers. Also, all the mice that had disappeared are being held in wood cages there, to be sold off to other cats and eaten.
The night monster itself, a mechanic device with ghastly flashing pictures and a circular saw, is revealed in full when it attacks the mice newspaper office and printing press to prevent them from printing the truth, which they had just discovered.
A great chase scene takes place throughout both the mouse and the human newspaper offices. Reed reveals that he was in love with Nellie all along, much to Tanya's intense dismay.
When all the cats seem to be under control, the "dog council" appears just as they're regaining consciousness and chase them all away, taking Madame Mousey with them.
The last scene takes place at the beach, where the audience is told that the "dog council" had chosen for the French poodle (who was the mastermind behind the night monster all along) a punishment worse than prison: returning her to her owner.
Mrs. Mousekewitz, Fievel's mother, surmises saying that now that the mystery has been cleared up, Fievel may finally go to sleep, only to turn around and find him already asleep on the beach towel.

The story starts off in a New York setting sometime after the first movie, presumably between 1886 and 1889,
and has Fievel recalling a strange dream in which he and his family went west (a way of dismissing, or forshadowing the second American Tail movie, which underperformed at the box office).
Fievel and Tony discover that an ancient treasure lies underneath Manhattan when snooping around an abandoned subway (the Beach Pneumatic Transit system) and stumbling upon the remains of a dead mouse clutching a treasure map, deciding they must find it with the help of an archaeologist Tony knows: Dr. Dithering, along with fighting five villains as well.
The movie focuses on the relationship between the over-exploited workers of a sweatshop (in this case, a cheese production line) and the factory's rich owners: Mr. Grasping (Ron Perlman), Toplofty (Tony Jay) and O'Bloat (Richard Karron). It also focuses on the plight of the Native Americans in the United States.
The treasure under Manhattan turns out to be a group of Lenape mice living a long distance beneath the surface (far below the sewers, riding in an underground pressurized train) that decided to hide when they saw how the first Europeans only brought war and disease with them and didn't want to wait for the European mice to do the same to them.
An emotional scene ensues when Fievel must struggle with how cruel his own people the Europeans were (and still are at the time the film takes place) to the natives of America.
The sachem decides to send his daughter, Cholena, to the surface to see if they have "changed their ways." Upon their return, Scuttlebutt (one of the members of the expedition to find the treasure) reports to the villains unbeknownst to the rest of the members of the expedition, who then decide to use this to their advantage.
They tell all the workers of the sweatshop about Cholena (obviously not by name) and that she is their enemy.
The mouse NYPD Chief, McBrusque (Sherman Howard) and McBrusque's henchman/Dr. Dithering's associate, Scuttlebutt (John Kassir), who also report to the villains, engage in a bout of police brutality, burning down "every mouse house and rat hole" until they find her.
After the angry mouse mob try to capture Cholena and anyone else involved with her, Fievel and his friends decide to take Cholena back underground, but the police find out and go after them. Meanwhile, everyone finds out about Dr. Dithering's friendship with the Indian and take him to the butcher shop for his punishment.
Papa tells everyone about how madness like this is why they all left for America and should work together to become friends with those different from them as the fellow Americans they are. Upon returning Cholena to her home and telling the chief what is happening, he gives them a bomb to collapse the tunnel connecting the Native Americans to the outside world. This floods it, together with the evil McBrusque and Scuttlebutt as they fall into a pit.
The movie ends with Fievel's papa forming a worker's union and the villains agreeing amongst themselves to negotiate "with that riff-raff" because otherwise, they'll go on strike and make them go bankrupt while Tiger the cat, who is now the new police chief, watches them.
The last scene is Fievel seeing, through a foldable telescope, Cholena and her father disappearing into a hidden door at the foot of a statue, which pleases Fievel.

If your Instagram feed looks anything like mine, I am sure you will have noticed the latest colorful superfood to hit the top of the smoothie bowl: bee pollen! I have become somewhat obsessed with this pretty yellow superfood, and with good reason! Bee pollen, comprised of the male seed from millions of flowers, contains almost all of the nutrients required by the human body. These tiny little pellets are packed with health essentials like proteins, free amino acids, lipids, flavonoids and vitamins. Bee pollen is actually thought to be one of the most completely nourishing foods nature has to offer! Even though it seems to have only relatively recently come into vogue with the foodie community, bee pollen has been used for centuries in traditional medicinal practices. The Chinese, for one, have long utilized it as a nutritive stimulant and to enhance energy and endurance levels. And it is even officially recognized as a medicine by The German Federal Board of Health!
Bee pollen is the result of the collection of millions of grains of flower pollen by bees. In fact, just one teaspoon is thought to contain over two-and-a-half billion grains of flower pollen. The flower pollen itself is required for the fertilization of plants and, after its consolidation, is used to feed a hive's young bees. Because of this important function, each pellet is made up of approximately 40% protein, the majority of which is in the form of free amino acids that your body is able to use directly.
The health benefits associated with bee pollen have been circulating for centuries.
Here is a brief list highlighting some of the most widely propagated claims:
1. Nutrition Supplement – Bee pollen is filled with numerous vitamins and both micro- and macro-nutrients. It also packs a hefty punch of protein and free amino acids, all of which support a healthy and complete diet.
2. Weight Control – It has been used to encourage weight loss thanks to its low-calorie density and dose of phenylalaninea, a naturally occurring appetite suppressant. Moreover, bee pollen has been said to reduce cravings, mitigate addictions and stimulate the metabolic process, which speeds caloric burn. Weight stabilization is further encouraged by its ability to correct the types of metabolic chemical imbalances that can result in abnormal weight gain or loss. Bee pollen also has a sizable quantity of lecithin, a substance that assists in the dissolution of fat and the flushing of it from body.
3. Cholesterol – Bee pollen is thought to have the ability to increase HDL ("good") cholesterol as well as to lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol. In addition, it may be able to normalize the levels of both blood serum cholesterol and triglyceride.
4. Allergies and Hay Fever — May alleviate reactions by supporting the respiratory and immune systems.
5. Fertility – Bee pollen may be able to stimulate the ovarian function and improve the ability of a woman's eggs to survive an incubation period.
6. GI Problems – Relieves symptoms associated with constipation, diarrhea and colitis
7. Skin Care – Aging and unhealthy skin have been said to be noticeably improved by the consumption of bee pollen. Its unique combination of amino acids and vitamins is thought to prevent the premature aging of cells, while simultaneously stimulating the blood supply to, and growth of, new skin tissues. Skin health is furthered by bee pollen's ability to protect against dehydration and help relieve inflammatory skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
8. Anti-Bacterial – Use bee pollen to help prevent cold and flu by tapping into its ability to inhibit the development of numerous harmful bacteria.
9. Blood – One key component of bee pollen, Rutin, has the ability to strengthen the capillaries. Other related benefits include reported increases in both red and white blood cells and a subsequent strengthening of immunity.
10. Pain – Bee Pollen has been associated with the alleviation of pain from sources such as: PMS, mouth sores, joints, urination and a host of inflammation-related problems.
11. Improve Stamina and Athletic Performance – Once called the "greatest body builder on earth", bee pollen has been used throughout history and by serious athletic competitors to improve energy, vitality, endurance and to help build strength.
The most recent research suggests caution only in the cases of bee pollen allergies and pregnancy. Stop taking bee pollen if you notice any signs of itching, swelling, shortness of breath or lightheadedness. If you are able to tolerate it and are looking to reap maximum benefits, be sure to buy from a reputable company or directly from a local and trusted beekeeper. It is important to make sure the bee colonies were not treated with any chemicals and that the pollen is free of pesticides. And be wary of any product that advertises itself as synthesized. Even though lab-produced pollen may possess all of the known nutrients, bees die when fed man-made pollen. This suggests that it is missing a crucial element present in natural pollen and, therefore, cannot be guaranteed to provide any of the possible benefits. It is also important to note that there has not yet been enough rigorous research or evidence to conclusively prove the effectiveness of bee pollen in all of the areas listed above. However, the centuries of use in traditional medicine and the popularity in modern practice certainly warrant giving it a try!
Bee pollen can be enjoyed in a number of ways, making it super easy to incorporate into your day! You can grind it up into a powder and add it to juices, smoothies or mix it in with foods like pumpkin or Super Oats. It can also be taken by the spoonful as a supplement, or soaked in warm water for a few hours and enjoyed as a rejuvenating beverage. My personal favorite is to sprinkle the granules directly on top of my smoothie bowls, cereal or yogurt! I will sometimes even add it to the top of baked goods like banana bread or Hot Oats Muffins. It is essentially flavorless, but adds such a nice pop of color and just a bit of crunch!
A few more reasons why pollen and our global bee populations are so remarkable:
– Bee pollen is richer in proteins than any other natural animal source and contains more amino acids than eggs, cheese or beef of equal weight!
– Bee pollination accounts for the furtherance of more than 80% of the Earth's plant life.
– It takes one full month of 8-hour days for a single bee to produce one teaspoon of bee pollen.
– Bees have been gathering pollen and producing honey for over 150 million years!
– The color of bee pollen granules can range from bright yellow to black — this variation is a result of collection from a variety of different plant species!
Bee populations around the world are currently under threat due to a combination of environmental changes and the widespread use of pesticides — find out more about how to protect bees and other pollinators by visiting: https://www.epa.gov/pollinator-protection.

The congas pop and the organ whistles on "Tropical Guitar", a sunny place far from noise. Janet's line is simple and clean, some chords in places, but nothing flashy – just beautiful. Her solo is basic: the theme is varied, a stacatto note is repeated, and a vigorous strum takes us out. As it goes on, you find yourself listening less to the notes played than to the sound itself. She knows how to speak through her instrument, and with her, you know this is no ordinary guitar.
Keeping the mood of the opener (this time on electric 10-string), "Time Alone With You" opens with a gentle strum and Mark Egan's very fluid bass. It's his showcase; the notes bend, slide and soar in a great melodic turn. Janet's solo has a muscular tone, with a liquid feel and little slides at the fade.
The acoustic is back on "Tuck It In", and so is the metallic ring of her strings. This has light percussion and dancing synth, and an alternating note pattern similar to "Tropical Guitar". There's plenty of sunshine; call it the island next door! "Romance is a classical piece: first played by Janet in the Spanish style, then it swings with Alan Brennan's violin (first played like Grappelli, then more active.) Janet returns with the tempo still high; this time she plays it with chords, fusing the styles. This is fun, and my favorite of the instrumentals.
"Take Five" is the first of two vocals, helped by the trombone of Chris Brubeck. Janet's vocal is high and sweet, with nice quavers. The words don't do much for me but the performance is there. "The Art of a Kiss" is a Marlow original and a GREAT song, describing the components of romance with joy and charm. "A wrist, an ear, a stare from your eyes/ makes your lover want to be near..." It's playful, and it's the best of show.
"Jiggin'" begins with a nice rumbling guitar and pinpoint synth by Pete Levin. Brennan comes in with folksy fiddle and then the setting turns modern. Brennan's tone remains the same, and his grainy sound goes great against the slick background. Janet's electric solo is pleasant enough, but this one belongs to Brennan, whom I'd like to hear more. "Eye to Eye" could be heard on the radio; it's driven by a gimmicky synth (its beeps and boops are straight out of the '70s) that works amid the moderate groove. Again, Janet is mainly in the background, coming out for a warm solo, where high noted dance with the synth. And "Sweet Sensation" uses chords and thick echo to embrace you. The sound of her acoustic is especially tender, and when she begins a pattern, the echo does the rest – lovely. Levin's solo makes the synth sound like a wood flute – a bit cutesy, but fine. It's a particularly sweet ending to an album full of sunshine.
Title: Smooth Romance | Year Released: 1999 | Record Label: JMMusic

One of the reason we went to Tokyo Tower was because the Mr. Donut Pon de Lion Park is there! Mr. Donut is a donut franchise that started in the US and was introduced in the Japanese market in 1983.
The Pon de Lion Park is a special Mr. Donut theme store that uses a lion as the mascot. The store has a big table in the middle showcasing the lion. The walls are also decorated with other animal characters. Since we went to the store really early, we were the only one there and was able to take a lot of photos with the lion!
After all the photo ops, we finally placed our order. Since it's my first time there, I have to order the lion donut. Basically it's the Mr. Donut donut ring with the donut hole put back in the ring. A piece of chocolate with the lion's face is then placed on top. Aside from the cuteness, the donut is actually really good! The dough is a bit different. It seems more chewy, like a mochi. I heard only the pon de ring donut line, which forms the "mane" of the lion, have this texture. The rest of the donuts are more like the ones we have here in Canada.
The best part about the pon de lion donut is that you get to eat the whole donut: the ring and the donut hole! When we were there, they also have a limited time Snoopy character donut. I didn't try them because we were going to walk around Tokyo Tower where there are more food! If you visit the Tokyo Tower then you have to try the pon de ring or pon de lion from Mr. Donut's Pon de Lion Park!
Here are more photos from the Pon de Lion Park:

The Bachelorette
Does The Bachelor Pay for the Engagement Ring?
A lot of you out there in Bachelor Nation are wondering, "does the Bachelor pay for the engagement ring?" It's definitely something we've always been curious about, too, especially when Jef Holm gave Emily Maynard a $150,000 ring, the biggest in the franchise's history. And again when Bachelor Sean Lowe gifted fiancee Catherine Giudici with a 4-carat sparkler straight from Neil Lane's gem closet.
If you're an avid fan, you'll notice that an awful lot of engagement rings presented by the Bachelor or to the Bachelorette come from Neil Lane Jewelry. We're fairly certain it's not a coincidence that all those bachelors have such great taste. Neil Lane is a sponsor of ABC's The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, so it's likely that, as part of their sponsorship, the jeweler to the stars graciously donates the engagement ring in the event that one is offered during the final rose ceremony.
However, as we learned recently, the recipient only gets to keep the ring if her relationship with the giver lasts longer than two years. Considering how few relationships on either show last that long, it's a pretty low-risk gamble for Neil Lane!

What is it that European magazines have that American magazines don't? It's something much, much more tangible than just a little je ne sais quoi: They have tits. Naked tits. On full display. After all, what compliments Chanel black leather over-the-knee boots better than boobs? This month in French Vogue not one, not two, but ten sets of bare breasts can be found. (Ten nipple shots — twelve sets of bare jugs, if you count cover girl Claudia Schiffer, who covers her rack with her palms.)
So here we make an open plea to Anna Wintour, editrix of American Vogue and clearly the best frenemy that Carine Roitfeld (her French counterpart) has ever had — or so we deduce from the fashion editorial spread inspired by Nuclear Wintour herself in the version francaise) — take a page for the livre du Carine: Naked. More naked, please. If there were more naked, well then, Anna, wouldn't the world be a better place? We think it would. There's something so lovely and freeing about seeing all these girls without a care in the world, wearing all sorts of expensive shit — and their birthday suits! It gives the whole magazine a very sophisticated/smutty feel. Because nothing spells taste like choosing to show a little nipple. Not to mention that these are the kind of pin-ups we can get behind. As a card-carrying member of the Girls Who Like Boys club, I sorta want chanteuse/former Mick Jagger flame Carla Bruni taped to my wall. And I refuse to believe that I'm the only one who feels this way.
So, Anna, seriously: Want us to stop hating on Vogue? Then three words for you: Naked. Girls. Posing.

For more than 50 years, the Trust's fundraising efforts have improved the wellbeing of the most marginalised, vulnerable members of the Brisbane community.
Established in the 1960s, the Trust continues the good work of the Lord Mayor whose mission is to improve liveability for all Brisbane's residents.
The Trust works to support charities that assist people suffering from disability, homelessness, mental illness, drug or alcohol addiction, trauma, abuse or neglect.
Every dollar donated to the Trust is re-given to those in need.
Corporate partners, community groups and individual benefactors can be confident donating to the Trust because of its ability to identify charities in genuine need of support.
Many corporate donors choose the Lord Mayor's Charitable Trust because a single donation is distributed to many needy charities, taking away the hours of work needed to identify suitable philanthropic opportunities.

It was only a matter of time when Isma and Negara-Ku took to the stage for some civilised discourse on this all-important issue of national unity.
Whilst this forum is in no way organised as a Isma – Negara-Ku debate, given that it presents a speaker each from either side, it will give us an opportunity to hear opposing views and, if there is a Q&A session, pose intelligent questions in the hope of receiving equally informed answers.
Hope to see you all there.

According to a BBC report, Venus Williams--whom many consider to be the unofficial spokeswoman for women's professional tennis--said today that a boycott of the Barclays Dubai International Tennis Championships was never an option for members of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour.
"There are so many other people involved. Sponsors are important to us," said Williams. "We wouldn't be here without sponsors. We can't let sponsors down. Whatever we do, we need to do as a team--players, sponsors, tour, and whoever--and not all break off in one direction. We are team players."
Williams also spoke strongly about Peer's right--and any player's right--to play in a tournament anywhere in the world. She is going to Miami soon to attend a meeting that will address the Dubai issue.

Williams says boycott was out of the question
2 comments:
Obviously, Venus' team does not include a fellow player, only sponsors and the tour. What about the sponsors of Indian Wells? Are they not part of the team? I guess it's different when effects you personally then when it happens to someone else.
What a supidly hypocritical statement.

I do think Venus is going to get into some trouble, no matter what she says, because of Indian Wells.

Phooey on the #*@%ing the Deadlines!
I've still got time to put this up (which I swiped from Jim Borgman, who kindly put it up. When I learn how the scanner works I'll return the favor).
The Post runs a column listing restaurants closed because of health code violations, and I sometimes do one of my own. Because, well, because restaurants are inherently funny, and those closed because of health code violations are funnier still! Until you order the fish ceviche.

Today's board meeting was very productive. The Chamber's Board of Directors is responsible for developing policies and procedures for the Chamber and overseeing the operating budget for the organization; they volunteer their time and energy and we are very grateful for their commitment to Richfield.
Congratulations to Mary Everett, formerly with CenterPoint Energy as she accepted a new position with Xcel Energy and will be working out of North St. Paul. As a result, unfortunately, she has resigned her seat on the board of directors. We will be working with CenterPoint to fill her seat with another representative.

Renovating your Home or Selling As-Is
If an evaluation/appraisal of your home is lower than you expected, maybe some renovations are the way to go, before you put your home on the market. A major problem is that we see a lot of homeowners letting things go, you move into your house, live in it happily, and ignore some regular maintenance. At one point the repairs become too costly to fix. If you are in that category, you might have to do a lot of work to make your home saleable. There is a price or each and every house, but if you want a good price you may have to consider this:
According to a 2004 Canadian survey, the top three renovations that get you the most money are:
1. Bathrooms 75-100% return
2. Kitchens 75-100% return
3. Interior and exterior painting 50-100% return
Other renovations and their average rate of return (Value Added compared to the cost) include:
Depending on your budget, ideas and time limitations, we will assist you in deciding which of the renovations are necessary and which are not. The above figures are only a general guide to look at before we meet in person. If your home hasn't been upgraded in a long time and it is pretty much original, you will have to choose some of the more important upgrades. The easiest upgrade in a Condo is installing hardwood or laminate floors instead of the carpeting. In our experience, this would bring a larger rate of return of your investment than renovating the bathroom.
This is the service we would provide you with, a solid direction based on our experience. During our consultation in your home, we will walk through taking extensive notes on everything from the improvements you've already made to the brands of your appliances. During our consultation in your home will be to explain the selling process and our personalized marketing plans, legalities, and discussing your goals and plans, and to list all the things that make your home special, and all the areas it could be better, and give you our professional opinion.
After we met you and toured your home, we will: Recommend a competivive price based on your home

Lunch with Dame Joan Collins is everything you want it to be. The legendary actress, author and columnist is the walking embodiment of glamour with more wisdom and sass than the entire cast on Dynasty.
We joined Dame Joan for lunch at London's Claridge's for the launch of her Timeless Beauty range for Marks & Spencer.
Who better to dole out beauty and life advice to live by? This is what Joan had to say...
On where she food shops: 'Marks & Spencer'
Her ultimate beauty tip: 'Stay out of the sun and don't put soap on your face.'
On the time it takes to do her make-up: '25 minutes. I don't do my eyes every day.'
On how to travel in style: 'Never wear jeans.'
On her beauty idols, past and present: 'Ava Gardner, Vivien Leigh, Elizabeth Taylor, Carmen Dell'Orefice and Dita Von Teese because they all wear a lot of make-up.'
On her trademark smoky eye: 'It gets smokier and smokier as the day goes on.'
On fashion: 'High fashion is rather scary at the moment. I mean, the Met Ball. Was that fashion? It's fancy dress. But I like the high street. M&S and H&M.'
On her make-up no no's: 'Blue eyeshadow, green eyeshadow, lip liner that's darker than your lipstick, contouring, over-plucked eyebrows.'
What she said to her goddaughter Cara Delevingne when she asked advice about getting into acting: 'Don't.'
On actresses today: 'They can't do their own make-up or style themselves. Individuality has dissipated.'
Her favourite tipple: 'Lychee martinis. I had two last night.'
On Brexit: 'I'm all for it. We need our own rules.'
Joan Collins Timeless Beauty launches in Marks & Spencer, 9 May

Federal or foederal (archaic) may refer to:
The Twilight Shoreliner was a passenger train operated by Amtrak on the Northeast Corridor between Boston, Massachusetts and Newport News, Virginia via New York City and Washington, D.C.. Amtrak introduced it in 1997 to replace the Night Owl. It was discontinued in 2003 in favor of the Federal.
The Twilight Shoreliner replaced the Night Owl as Amtrak's dedicated overnight service on the Northeast Corridor. Amtrak equipped the train with a Viewliner sleeping car, replacing the Heritage Fleet equipment used by the Night Owl. The new train also featured a Custom-class coach and the specially-branded "Twilight Café," which served hot meals and was restricted to sleeper- and custom-class passengers. Finally, Amtrak extended the southern terminus from Washington, D.C. to Newport News, Virginia and moved the departure time from Boston from 10 PM to 8 PM. The Twilight Shoreliner provided a second daily frequency between the Northeast and Newport News, supplementing the Old Dominion.
Federal is the debut album by American rapper E-40, released November 10, 1993 on Sick Wid It Records. It peaked at number 80 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.Jive records reissued Federal in 1995 with three tracks missing.
Investigation or Investigations may refer to:
In law enforcement:
In medicine:
In other uses:
Investigation (Bulgarian: Разследване; Romanisation: Razsledvane) is a 2006 Bulgarian film directed by Iglika Triffonova.
Parts of a corpse have been found and a suspect, Plamen Goranov (Krassimir Dokov), brother of the murdered man, is detained. He denies any charges and for want of conclusive evidence, the investigation is about to be suspended. Then a new investigator is appointed, Alexandra Yakimova (Svetla Yancheva), who starts everything from scratch. In daytime she interrogates relatives, friends and colleagues of two brothers and at night she questions the suspect. She hasn't got much time left for her family. Solitude has been her own choice and she tries to make up it overburdening herself with more and more work. Loneliness is also eating up Plamen, the tough rogue, who starts cherishing his encounters with the investigator for the chance to talk to her. The film follows the course of the investigation through the filter of its main subject: possible or impossible human communication.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can dryer sheets be used with this mini dryer?
Yes! This apartment size dryer works the same way a full-scale dryer does, so you can use your favorite dryer sheets with no trouble. You may wish to cut your dryer sheets in half to make them last longer, but this is completely optional.
How do you vent the portable dryer to the outdoors?
Venting the exhaust outdoors is fairly simple. You'll need to attach the exhaust connector to the vent at the back of the appliance. This can be aimed up or down for your convenience. Then you'll need to purchase three to four feet of flexible dryer vent tubing and tape from your local hardware store. Attach one end of the tubing to the vent pipe with tape and position the other end to blow exhaust out the window. If you prefer to keep your windows shut, consider cutting a piece of plywood the width of your window. Also cut a round hole the size of the tubing in the center for the your vent. You can close the window atop the plywood to hold it in place.
Can this miniature electric dryer be vented indoors?
Yes! You can purchase a venting kit from the Home Depot or your local home improvement center to attach to the end of your dryer vent tubing instead of routing it out the window. This is an easy option, especially if you don't have a window near the spot where you prefer to locate your apartment size dryer. Look for this item in where appliance parts are sold.

Blunt Head Trauma and Effects
Blunt head trauma can happen from a blow to the head, and result in serious damage to the brain. According to the National Institutes of Health, the impact can range from a minor bump to severe brain injury. According to braininjury.com, the majority of traumatic brain injuries (61 percent) occurs due to traffic accidents. Even if the head trauma does not result in an open wound, injury can occur to the brain. The effects of blunt head trauma are irreversible and severe, and can interfere with normal brain function.
Two types of head trauma can occur: concussion and contusion. With a concussion, the brain is shaken, while a contusion causes direct injury to the brain. According to braininjury.com, the loss of consciousness from a blunt head trauma leads to even more damage to the brain. In addition, injury can occur to the opposite side of the brain—called contrecoupe—when the head is moving and hits a stationary object. This blunt force results in the opposite side of the brain pulling away from the skull and becoming injured.
Blunt head trauma occurs from accidents; according to the National Institutes of Health, the most common causes of head injury are traffic accidents, sport injuries, physical assaults and falls. In sports, wearing a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury. Using proper restraining devices in the car can prevent head injury from occurring.
Symptoms of blunt head trauma can either occur immediately after injury or develop slowly within a few hours or days. Severe symptoms that can arise from head injury include convulsion, changes in the pupils, inability to move one or more limbs, irritability, personality changes, unusual behavior, loss of consciousness, confusion, drowsiness, low breathing rate, drop in blood pressure, lack of coordination, severe headache, slurred speech, blurred vision, stiff neck and vomiting.
Injury to the head can result in severe damage to the brain. According to the National Institutes of Health, serious head trauma can result in speech and language problems, coma, chronic headaches, paralysis, seizure, changes in sensation, and changes in hearing, vision, taste or smell. In addition, bleeding can occur within the brain, which can exacerbate brain damage.
According to the National Institutes of Health, after a blunt head trauma, do not move the patient unless necessary. Do not clean any wounds, remove objects or shake the person if he seems dazed. Timing is essential, so call for medical attention immediately.
