It is important to carefully choose a licensed contractor,
before you sign the contract. The first step in this process is to research contractors in your area using the internet and yellow pages. Pre-screen your candidates by their specialties. For instance, if you are planning a kitchen remodel, then look for kitchen remodel listed in their advertising.
Then contact the potential candidates by phone. What is your first impression of the contractor and their staff? Does a real person answer the phone? How long does it take the contractor to return your phone call? If a contractor doesn't return your call for a couple days during the interview process, you may have trouble getting hold of him during the building process.
It is important to interview several licensed contractors. Ask questions and establish a rapport. Decide if this is a person you can communicate with. Make sure that the candidate you are considering has years of experience with your type of project, either as an employee or as a contractor. Does he answer you questions directly? Does he appear organized?
Don't be pressured into signing a construction contract, give yourself the time to validate and investigate all of the information provided by the candidates:
Evidence of that the contractor is licensed; city, county and/or state.
Evidence of insurance; workers compensation, contractors bond, general liability, property damage and vehicle insurance.
Ask for a list of recent projects and at least three references of projects similar in size and scope to your own.
Ask for a list of employees and subcontractors scheduled to work on your project. You should also get copies of subcontractors licenses and insurance certificates.
Finally, make sure that your potential contractor to agrees to your participation in the process as part of the construction contract.
Make sure that every thing you and the contractor agree upon verbally is also in writing, with a signatures and dates. Do not sign any contract until you have reviewed it thoroughly.
And, last but not least, do not give your chosen contractor a large deposit up front. A 10% deposit due at the signing of the construction contract should be sufficient, with progress payments due upon completion of specified phases of the project.

Talk about the perfect day for photos: I ran errands earlier with the windows down! Is it really January?
Lindsay is expecting her second girl and is psyched for more tutus and nail polish! Would you ever guess this gorgeous mama is only seven weeks from her due date?! (I wish I looked as good as her at that stage of the game.) She was absolutely radiant, and posed effortlessly throughout the session. Would you also ever guess that her 18 month old had woken up minutes before we started taking photos? What a doll! All she needed was mommy standing behind me, smiling, and she was completely content. At one point, I asked Lindsay was her biggest craving has been and she promptly popped open a jar of Nutella. (Check out the last photo) That's my kinda gal!

We can help. You can overcome drug addiction and have a better life than you ever thought possible!
There are many alcohol and drug rehab programs options available to people residing in the Castle Rock region. You will need to recognize each of the varieties of treatment choices that are available in Castle Rock, AB., in order to find the suitable rehabilitation approach for yourself or a family member. Choosing the proper drug and alcohol rehab facility in Castle Rock is the central element in the process of treating of substance abuse, addiction and alcoholism. This info will help you fully grasp your various rehabilitation possibilities so that you have the maximum probability of an effective end result.
Let's have a look at the various drug and alcohol rehab centers in Castle Rock, Colorado possibilities that correlate with the condition of the individual in search of rehabilitation.
Inpatient drug rehab in Castle Rock, AB. can be a rehabilitation possibility ideal for those who need health-related treatment during rehabilitation or individuals with considerable drug abuse histories. People can develop physical and mental dependence to alcohol and drugs even after a short period of time, so inpatient alcohol and drug rehab in Castle Rock is considered the most beneficial rehabilitation possibility in almost all situations. Because of dependence and addiction, people will frequently struggle to make a full recovery using the limited solutions provided by outpatient rehabilitation programs in Castle Rock, Colorado where drugs continue to be easily available when they depart the outpatient facility. In addition, people in rehab who take part in outpatient treatment rather than inpatient alcohol and drug rehab in Castle Rock are still vulnerable to damaging influences and situations which might cut across their process of recovery. When someone lives with an abusive partner or maintains relationships that entail substance abuse, any treatment endeavours in outpatient treatment are done in vain. For this reason in-patient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Castle Rock, AB. will generate more tangible results that can prove lasting in contrast to an outpatient drug and alcohol rehab program where benefits could be very minimal and acute.
In Castle Rock there is both short-term and long-term inpatient drug rehabilitation. Short-term is often a 30-day facility, while long-term inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Castle Rock, Colorado is more in depth and treatment lasts 3 to 6 months on average. This is an excellent environment for clients because it is a completely drug-free setting where they can heal both mentally and physically without interruptions. Preferably, women and men proceed inside a long-term in-patient drug and alcohol treatment program in Castle Rock for the maximum time period allowed, in order to handle anything that might cut across their abstinence after they depart treatment. Due to the fact detoxing and becoming physically stabilized can take a couple weeks by itself, the 3-6 months in long-term in-patient drug rehab in Castle Rock is going to be time wisely spent and a lot more effective than short-term facilities.
The key aspect of all if you or someone you love is struggling with a drug abuse or addiction problem is to get it resolved right away, make calls and seek the advice of trained addiction specialists and have an assessment and rehabilitation options to guarantee the best chance for a recovery.

Discover England's most beautiful lake over a day or a weekend of sociable walking
DurationSingle Day Event
AccommodationNot required
FoodNone provided
Difficulty Level2 Two
With a knowledgeable leader and a friendly group we're certain that the Ullswater Way will leave unforgettable memories. The trail is made up of easy low-level paths, mostly along the lakeshore but with a few rises to picturesque viewpoints and secret spots.
What's unique about this challenge is that we're offering two levels. For the keen walkers it's possible to complete it in one day. If you'd prefer a more sedate pace, we're also doing a two-day version. Whichever you choose you'll be part of an exciting adventure, really getting to know the area.
The Ullswater Way makes the perfect challenge walk for those of you put off by the more traditional mountain challenges. With low level walks, an expert guide and the chance to walk 20 miles over a day, or the weekend.
Ullswater is England's second largest lake, lying in the eastern side of the Lake District and surrounded by the valleys and hills that make the Lake District such a walkers' paradise. Famously it was called 'England's most beautiful lake by Wainwright, and it's where Wordsworth was walking when he wrote his famous daffodils poem 'I wandered lonely as a cloud'. Ullswater is a glacial ribbon lake that snakes through the valley, so every mile the view changes revealing something new.
For those choosing the weekend option, alongside walking we'll be spending Sunday morning on a boat across the lake itself, returning us to the place we finished the walk on Saturday afternoon. So you'll get to see the lake from a whole new perspective.
Along the lake, we'll pass the pretty villages of Glenridding, Patterdale and Pooley Bridge, and see Aira Force waterfall.
In a nutshell:
- Walk the Ullswater Way over one day or a 2 day weekend with a local leader and friendly group.
- See England's most beautiful lake from its shores and nearby hillsides.
- Explore the cafés and pubs of pretty villages with new friends.
- Have a sociable day/weekend away where we focus on enjoying the views and seeing wildlife.
Ullswater Challenge Dates:
- Ullswater Way – Two Day Challenge: 18-19th May
- Ullswater Way – One Day Challenge: 8th June
- Ullswater Way – One Day Challenge: 7th September
For this trip we don't provide accommodation, as we recognise that people want different things on their weekends. For those of you looking to make a weekend out of this walk we have set up a Facebook event, if you are attending or are looking for a room mate please use this page to arrange. We will also look to help with a group meal on the Friday night.
Event Event: www.facebook.com/events/1809200252511023
Saturday and Sunday (Two-Day Option)
On these two days we'll walk the 20 mile Ullswater Way, walking around 10 miles each day, with moderate uphills but nothing high. The usual itinerary is to takle the northern section, including Aira Force, on Saturday, starting in Glenridding and finishing in Pooley Bridge. From here we get a bus back to Glenridding.
On Sunday we start by getting the boat across the lake, an experience you won't want to miss! From Pooley Bridge we then walk the southern section, passing the remote village of Howtown and the final stunning section along the lake-shore by Place Fell, where we can look up and try to spot England's only wild red deer herd.
Once we get back on Sunday we'd certainly recommend a café visit before you head off, so we can celebrate an excellent achievement!
Please note the bus and steamer tickets are not included with this package and will need to be purchased on the day.
Saturday (One-Day Option)
We'll be taking on the whole Ullswater Way today, aiming to cover the 20 miles in around 10 hours. It's a wonderful low-level walk and the perfect challenge for those of us who want something easier than a more classic hill challenge like the Yorkshire Three Peaks. We'll start and finish in Glenridding.
Good to Know:
We do not provide accommodation for this trip. There are plenty of options for places to stay in Glenridding, or in nearby Patterdale.
There is a shop in Glenridding where you can get food for each day's walk.
Meeting Location:
National Park Information Centre (in the main car park),
Two-Day Option: On Saturday and Sunday we'll meet at 9am.
One-Day Option: On Saturday we'll meet at 7am.

What our members have to say...
"I didn't really know what to expect on my first ever walking holiday and wasn't very prepared if truth be known – lesson to all read the essential kit list especially waterproofs! It was great fun and what a lovely group of supportive and encouraging people, especially Gareth who did a great job looking after us all. I must admit at times I found it a bit challenging but what a great sense of achievement when we reached the top of the mountains (hills) I will definitely do this again.ElizabethMember Since 2016
My first Large Outdoors and (Ulster & the Giant's Causeway Walking Weekend) Irish experience was absolutely fantastic. Everything was organised perfectly and Gareth is a joy to be around. I loved every minute and will definitely book myself onto another trip. #toldallmyfriendstheyhavetocomeVanessaMember Since 2018
Well, for a non-walker it was certainly challenging but my word was it exhilarating! The feeling of achievement after every day, was just fabulous. The group we went with were all strangers on day one, but firm friends by the end of the week. The comradery on some of the tougher walks, helped me to the top…..and wow what views. Anyone thinking of doing it - don't worry….just go for it!ClaireMember Since 2016

You want to make sure that the soda bread you use isn't the crumbly kind, or else it won't slice up nicely. As long as it can be cut evenly into slices using a serrated knife [1], you are good to go. And if you have the sweeter style, raisin studded bread, even better. Enjoy!
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3/4 cup cream or milk
- 1 ounce dark rum
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 small loaf of leftover raisin-studded Irish soda bread, cut into 1/2-inch slices (about 8 slices total)
- 2-4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- Maple syrup, for serving
In a large bowl [2], whisk [3] together the eggs, milk or cream, rum, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Dip each slice of bread quickly into the custard mixture. Note: don't leave it soaking too long or the bread might fall apart.
Melt half of the butter in a large skillet [4] over medium heat. Place a few slices into the pan [4] and cook until brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining butter and slices of bread. Serve warm drizzled with maple syrup. Enjoy!

Lise Thibault did something seriously wrong. She abused her position of authority to squander taxpayers' money by taking advantage of the system. A prison sentence reassures the public that such behaviour is not tolerated.
Editorial: Former lieutenant-governor Lise Thibault 'highly reprehensible' behaviour justly punished
Calling her behaviour part of a "culture of deceit," a judge sentenced former Quebec lieutenant-governor Lise Thibault to 18 months in prison on Wednesday for fraud and breach of trust and ordered her to repay $300,000 she had taken from the public purse: $200,000 to Ottawa and $100,000 to Quebec. In sentencing her, Quebec Court Judge Carol St-Cyr said it was important for the public to know that the behaviour of the woman who had been entrusted with representing the Queen in this province was "highly reprehensible." It was.
Many had thought that because of her age and her health and mobility challenges a prison sentence was unlikely. Thibault is 76, she suffered a stroke in 2005, and she has used a wheelchair since she was disabled in a tobogganing accident in her teens. And arguably, it's a heavy sentence, although not anywhere near maximum sentence of 14 years for fraud or five for breach of trust.
Her lawyer, saying Thibault had already been "publicly crucified," argued for her to serve her sentence in the community.
Such a sentence would be insufficient "to maintain the confidence of citizens with regard to public institutions," as St-Cyr put it. Thibault did something seriously wrong. She abused her position of authority and squandered taxpayers' money by taking advantage of the system. A prison sentence reassures the public that such behaviour is not tolerated.
After saying when she was sworn in as lieutenant-governor in January 1997 that she wanted to bring "values" to the job, Thibault went on to claim hundreds of thousands of dollars from the federal and provincial governments for expenses unrelated to her duties during the period of more than a decade she spent in office — everything from golf lessons and fishing rods to roof repairs and legal fees for her divorce lawyer.
Thibault seemed far more concerned with her public image than with coming to terms with her own wrongdoing. When a joint federal and provincial audit detected irregularities and charges were laid against her in 2009, she tried, in a show of imperiousness, to have the case against her thrown out on the grounds that she enjoyed "sovereign immunity." After that didn't work, she pleaded not guilty, vowing to clear her name. She changed her plea only last December, more than 30 days into the trial, after years of protesting her innocence.
When the Crown recommended a four-year prison term at her sentencing hearing this year, she broke into tears and said she was upset to think that her grandchildren will remember her being treated like a thief. But what did she think she was?

Candlebark School in Romsey Victoria sits in an area designated as bushfire-prone at the forest edge in the eastern foothills of the Macedon Ranges. The federal government funding for the new library was announced just months after the Black Saturday fires, when there was a lot of anxiety in the bush, so one of the aims was that the new library building should also serve as a wildfire refuge of last resort for students and school staff.
Much of the clearing occupied by the school is deeply shaded in winter by surrounding messmate forest. Wildfire management and environment planning overlays ruled out any tree removal or exposed cut-and-fill site works in the school clearing, and any construction close to the forest edge, leaving only a patch of south-sloping land below the school dining hub for the new library building. This open ground formed the grassy foreground to an exquisite view from the school hub into a valley of oaks, elms and pasture.
With the twin aims of preserving the valley view from the school hub above, and providing some wildfire protection internally, the idea developed for the library to be an underground building.
Materials and structure
The library rests on a concrete slab 4.5 metres below ground at its northern edge, meeting natural ground level at its southern edge. The external retaining wall, of 290-millimetre-thick core-reinforced concrete block, is curved to a half circle, a shape providing considerable restraint against the horizontal load of retained earth.
The south wall is fitted with tall double-hung windows and glass doors opening to small courtyards and a terrace looking to the valley. Above this glazing, the curved south wall is framed in seasoned pine, sheathed in structural seasoned pine ply and clad with compressed cement sheeting.
The roof is covered in five hundred- to six hundred-millimetre deep earth shields to protect against radiant summer heat and potential wildfire, and the shields ameliorate extremely low external surface temperatures at night in winter. The roof also stores sufficient moisture and nutrients to feed the grass and native ground covers.
For the main structure, large billets of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) are profiled and vertically screw-laminated into massive portal frames exposed internally. These form a visually dramatic and gently warped roof structure that fans out like an opening book to the view below. Together with LVL purlins (ripped from portal billet offcuts), a radiata pine plywood roof substrate and some good waterproofing, this timber roof structure supports five hundred to six hundred millimetres of earth and grass, a tractor-mower and students at play.
Ceilings are lined with hoop pine plywood and finger-jointed hoop pine trim. Windows and external doors are manufactured in recycled blackbutt. A colossal pergola, chunky internal door frames and courtyard benches are of salvaged Monterey cypress. Modular bookshelves and study tables have been constructed using salvaged blackwood, recycled messmate and hoop pine.
There was virtually no timber wasted from the original LVL slabs, as all offcuts were ripped into the purlins that extend between the roof beams. It turned out to be an economical and attractive roof structure for an earth-covered building.
The chunky pergola embracing the south terrace is constructed from salvaged cypress pine (Cupressus macrocarpa) – an exotic species that has served as a windbreak for stock in much of Victoria's higher-rainfall farmland for many years. As some of it is now declining, it is being removed (some is being salvaged by small local sawmillers) and replaced by more locally indigenous windbreak plantings.
Sustainability in brief
Sustainably sourced CO2 sequestering timber proved cost effective and attractive against fossil-fuel-intensive materials like steel and concrete in meeting what was a very demanding structural roofing challenge. Approximately ninety-nine tonnes of carbon dioxide absorbed from the atmosphere have been locked up in the plantation-sourced and salvaged timbers embedded in the constructed outcome.
Absence of low winter sun in this southward-sloping tall forest clearing required a rethink on passive solar design. Exceptional thermal performance was achieved with considerable interior thermal mass, high levels of insulation and double glazed windows framed in non-conductive timber.
The building also has a highly effective passive daytime cross- and stack-ventilation system that, with fan assistance, can on summer nights draw in cool mountain air to purge heat from the interior thermal mass.
A community building designed to provide bushfire shelter must hold internal air temperatures below forty degrees Celsius through a serious wildfire event. Computer modelling of the thermal performance of this school library has revealed that (if following three consecutive days with weather conditions matching Black Saturday 2009) 245 adults were to occupy the building to shelter from a serious wildfire for two hours, internal temperatures would peak at only twenty-nine degrees Celsius. This exceptional performance is attributable to the great thermal lag of earth cover external to, as well as thermal mass internal to, the insulated building envelope.
Candlebark School Library in Romsey, Victoria, was the most awarded project at the 2012 Australian Timber Design Awards, receiving Overall Winner, Best Public or Commercial Building, Best in Southern Region of Australia, Best Use of Engineered Timber Products, Geoffrey Sanderson Perpetual Trophy and the People's Choice Award. timberawards.com.au

I do not understand why I cannot register for megabonus promotion. It showed "Promotion Unavailable"...
I do not understand why I cannot register for megabonus promotion. It showed "Promotion Unavailable"...
Go to the "Support" tab at the top of the window and fill out the form to get help registering for the promotion.
This happens more than it should. The communitymanagers should be able to resolve this for you.
Perhaps this link will help get you there?
Sorry. Hopefully Community Managers will be able to help. This Link (Promotion Central ) worked for me as a work around to the regular promotion central link.
Like b.e. , this one didn't go my way (I have three SpringHills, three Marriotts and two Res Inns -few brands and only one a two night stay, oh well), but no beef from me, that's the way it goes and I have excellent 'early bird' (10-11 months out) rates that aren't worth switching for the points.
Like many, I didn't get an email and showed zero promotions on my Profile - not to worry, we've all seen this movie before (although I was tempted to "Ask what do I do?" just to make bejacob do his headbanger routine again ).
I seem to alternate between getting the link and not getting the link and having it done by Marriott, no big whoop (although, as I have written before, you have to feel for folks who don't know Marriott inexplicably does their offers this way every time...and I do mean every).
Now, here's the rub. I called in, got a rep and knew pretty soon that this was a rookie. Sure enough, she first looked at my profile and said I didn't have a Promotion (which, according to my profile, I didn't). I then asked her to try the link, she did and dutifully reported (after asking if I was a Miles collector - hint, hint about her experience) that the Promotion wasn't meant for me. I then politely asked, "could you check with a supervisor, please?", to her credit (she was always polite and willing to help, she was just, like scores I've chatted with, new) she did and I was signed up.
But again, it makes you wonder how many Marriott customers miss out because they believe what they are told? Oh well, whaddaya gonna do? Keep on keepin' on Insiders, it's a valuable weapon
Thanks for not putting me back in the hospital with head trauma.
I also appreciate hearing your story about the phone rep situation. Luckily, this wasn't your first rodeo, so you knew what to do. Let's hope everyone who can't get signed up reads your post and follows the same course of action.
Just in case, I'm signing up for a Zen mediation class so when I read about all those who don't follow the erc way of doing things, I won't end up like this again.
Needed to bring that out for old time's sake.
Here we go again...
For anyone that cannot register for this and any future MegaBonus – just call Marriott at
(or your local #)
and ask to be registered! Don't worry about whether the link works!
It says no new promotion is available on my account. I don't want to go through calling them for this. They are already overwhelmed with people calling because their accounts aren't correct. Now, they are dealing with Florence. ..
You can call on 25 September if you like (or even later if you have no stays planned anytime soon), well out of the way of Florence. Or, see my bullet about the Fall Megabonus in my comment in this post: https://insiders.marriott.com /thread/55816#comment-264061

American Race Relations Today
American Race Relations Today
Progress can be described as the movement from simpler problems to more complex problems. The recent development of race relations in the United States has been just such a record of progress. As a result, the relatively straightforward remedies of the current civil rights revolution are no longer considered adequate.
In the fifteen-year period following World War II, twenty-one states passed enforceable laws prohibiting discrimination in public and private employment. About 98 per cent of the non-white population outside the South is now covered by such a law. The rest of the civil rights legislative agenda seems to follow in train behind this basic "fair employment" statute. In the same period, sixteen states enacted a prohibition of one kind or another against discrimination in housing. At each state legislative session these housing laws are generally broadened, as are the sanctions against discrimination in public accommodations, on the books of the twenty-seven states. At least eight states created over-all commissions against discrimination to enforce these networks of law, thus establishing themselves as active partisans against inequality based on racial, religious or ethnic identity.
The civil rights revolution necessarily addressed itself in other terms to the interracial problems of the Southern states where upward movement began from a different historical floor. Seven of these states passed "anti-lynch," "anti-masking," or other laws to hobble the uninhibited . . .

Three truly Sports-minded tenders
Why not get out on the water with a YAM STi, where your fun will come with a little added comfort? This is mainly thanks to the double-wall inflatable floor, which is extra rigid and very comfy on the feet. An STi is also, like every YAM model, super-simple to inflate, carry, use and store.
Top performance is assured – with even the smallest Yamaha outboard – and handling is remarkable, with excellent control and stability from the special inflatable keel and V-hull design.
Strong D-rings and lifelines are provided, as well as a secure, integral tankholder. The transom is reinforced with a special support section for a Yamaha outboard. All you have to do is enjoy yourself.
- Very light and easy to carry around
- Double-wall inflatable floor gives great comfort
- Inflatable keel helps directional control
- V-hull for great directional control and stability
- Very stable handling even in choppy water
- Immensely rigid and tough construction
- Comfortably carries a family of three or four
Perfect partners
Yamaha outboards are renowned for their turnkey reliability and YAM inflatables are designed to be the perfect match. With a huge range of Yamaha outboards to choose from, it's easy to find the perfect combination of engine and inflatable.
Built to last
For maximum strength and good looks, The YAM 230B is constructed using the latest generation 1100 DECITEX PVC material, with all seams and joints glue-bonded for optimum watertightness and safety. The result is a smart, clean exterior surface that is highly resistant to abrasion, salt water and sunlight.
Built to take the pressure
A cleverly designed air baffle system is incorporated into the hull tubes of all YAM inflatables. This not only helps to keep the individual chambers completely sealed for safety, it also helps maintain and equalise air pressure throughout the tube. Amongst other things, this also allows your boat to absorb minor impacts without major problems.
Built to take care of you
In addition to safety features like strong, secure grab-handles, seat patches, D-rings, lifting eyes and other fittings, comfort is also a top priority. Our ingenious high-quality air valve is a good example – exceptionally reliable and airtight, it's easy to operate and is flush with the surface of the tube, preventing snagging or discomfort.
Easy to transport
Every YAM comes with everything needed for instant boating enjoyment. The strong carrying bag is convenient for stowing your YAM in a car boot or on a roof rack – and the floors, seats and fittings are all very simple to install. A powerful air pump is also supplied, so your YAM will be ready to go in a matter of minutes.
Comfortable inflatable floor
At the heart of every STi model you'll find our unique and very clever inflatable floor and keel. A complex web of cross-stitching in the air chamber prevents distortion and keeps the surface rigid – promising you the most comfortable, smooth and stable ride of any inflatable you've ever tried.

Now for one of our regular features, the Clown Award, given as always for an act of mertitorious stupidity.
There were a couple of nominees this week.
I thought about giving the award to Rep. Louis Gohmert, the man who puts the Gomer in Gohmert.
He has been refusing to hold in-person town hall meetings with constituents - and has referred to the shooting of former representative Gabby Giffords as justification for it.
Gohmert, it develops, is afraid of getting shot - or something, it's not clear - by someone "from the more violent strains of the leftist ideology," who are "preying on town halls." Because yeah, look at all those GOPpers who have been shot or physically beaten during their town halls of late.
And as a reminder, Gabby Giffords was one of 19 people shot at a public event she held in January 2011 by right-wing paranoid schizophrenic Jared Lee Loughner.
|Rep. Louis "Gomer" Gohmert
Gohmert is a true clown, but this seemed more a case of gutless cowardice than clownishness, so we move on to the next nominee.
I was going to give the award to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who attended a so-called "listening session" with leaders of historically black colleges and universities - founded because for many years most institutions of higher learning would not admit blacks.
After that meeting she released a statement in which she called those institutions "living proof" of the importance of her program of promoting taxpayer supported private, profit-oriented schools because those historically black institutions were "real pioneers when it comes to school choice." Because, you know, it's like they had one.
She desperately tried to walk that back the next day after doubling down on it earlier, but the fact is, this was no off-the-cuff-remark-that-came-out-wrong, the kind of goof that any of us might make, this was a prepared press release. They thought about this. They said exactly what they meant to say. Trying to walk that back just makes it all the more clownish.
|Betsy DeVos
The "message" read "Welcome to the Trump plantation. Overseer: Wayne A. I. Frederick." Wayne A. I. Frederick, as you knew or likely guessed, is the president of the university.
And I thought no, this is too important, the sort of off-handed, ignorant racism DeVos displayed, that sheltered, privileged ignorance where the meaning of your own words never occurs to you, the reality your words ignore, of which you remain unconscious even though it's obvious once someone points it out, the kind of casual bigotry that the entire TheRump campaign and administration has empowered, emboldened, and encouraged, is too important to toss off with the mockery of a Clown Award.
So again we move on. This time to our winner, and old champion making a return visit to reclaim the title. So this week, the Big Red Nose goes to the man with the world's most perfect initials, Bill O'Reilly.
You likely heard about TheRump declaiming at his campaign rally and yes that is what they called it, a campaign rally, in Florida last Saturday about "look at what's happening last night in Sweden! Sweden! Who would believe this, Sweden!"
Well, of course nothing happened that night in Sweden and it turned out that he had seen a Tucks Carlson interview with some rightwinger on Fox who has a quote documentary unquote claiming there is an immigrant-driven "surge in gun violence and rape" in Sweden which authorities are deliberately hiding, a piece TheRump apparently took to be breaking news.
Interestingly, since then there have been repeated attempts on Fox and other parts of the rightwing media swamp to cast Sweden as some sort of crime-ridden hellhole - because TheRump must be proven right! It is our duty!
Which brings us to Mr. B.O.
On his show on Fox on February 23, he had as a guest one Nils Bildt, billed as "a Swedish defense and national security advisor," there to engage in the predictable xenophobic slam of Sweden's immigration policies, touching on all the usual highlights about crime, "deviant activity," and "no-go areas."
|Bill O'Reilly
So who is he? It turns out this expert on Sweden moved out of that country in 1994 and changed his name from Tolling to Bildt in 2003. He says he is "based" in the US but Sweden says the last address they have for him is in Tokyo.
In 2015, he was one of the founders of a consulting firm called Modus World LLC, which according to its website specializes in "operations and management of possible kidnap and ransom situations" - not terrorism - and the website is now "unavailable."
Oh, and he is one other thing: a convicted felon, having been sentenced to a year in prison in 2014 for assaulting a cop, obstruction of justice, and just to make it a triple play, being drunk.
So let's see: Hasn't lived in Sweden for 23 years, has no connection of any kind to Swedish defense or national security, runs - or maybe ran - a business with only a tenuous connection to the issue of terrorism, and has no, not even a claimed, expertise in immigration.
That is who Bill O'Reilly thought would be the perfect guest to discuss immigration in Sweden.
Still in championship form, is Bill O'Reilly - clown.

Touch&Solve Calculator is an Android app that offers up a fully Material Design calculator for your smartphone or tablet. Designed to be both simple to use and fully-featured, Touch&Solve comes with a detailed computing history view, a simple settings page and easy to use scientific instructions. Touch&Solve sets itself apart from the crowd in other areas as well, like making it easy to work out degrees and radians, as well as the ability to switch between them as well. The Material Design look and feel that Google debuted with Lollipop is great, but there's no dark theme, Touch&Solve includes a night mode to make it nice and easy to make out numbers easier and is gentler on your eyes while crunching numbers late at night.
To get started, you'll need to download Touch&Solve Calculator from the Play Store. It's free to use, but if you want to disable ads, you can purchase the full version of the app here. Once you've done that, you're ready to start crunching some numbers.
Right away, you can see the clean, easy to make out look and feel of the Material Design here. All the numbers and operations are spaced out easily, and if if you swipe to the left, you'll get even more operations to work with.
Touch&Solve is a flexible calculator, and can be used however you like, including in landscape, and as you can see in the below shot can be used for everything you might need it for.
As we mentioned above, there's also the dark theme that's available for those fed up of all that color, and this also makes it easier to make out numbers for those with not-so-perfect vision.
You might be wondering why you need an aftermarket calculator app when the one on your smartphone is just fine. Well, Touch&Solve comes with a dedicated and detailed computing history, which still looks good, but certainly gets the job done.
You can easily delete entries here, and you can adjust settings for the history and more from the settings page.
You'll notice that here you can stop your device from going to sleep, which might shorten the battery life of your device a little, but those using Touch&Solve at their desk for work purposes will appreciate this neat addition.
It has to be said that there's a little bit of head scratching that goes on when looking at an aftermarket calculator app, as all smartphones ship with one that does much of the same operations. Where Touch&Solve makes its case is through the computing history, the simple, yet appreciated settings such as the ability to keep the device awake as well as changes to how the computing history acts. The Material Design is flawless here, and this is arguably better looking and easier to use than Google's own calculator app, it's certainly more fully-featured that's for sure. If you want just a little extra in a calculator app, without an ugly interface or a million different settings to choose from, then Touch&Solve is the Calculator app you've been looking for.
- Speed (4/5) – A quick calculator app, Touch&Solve won't keep you waiting, that's for sure.
- Features (4.5/5) – A mix of just enough extra and a simple approach to calculating equations, Touch&Solve is a nice middle ground between apps that offer too much, and those that offer too little.
- Theme (4/5) – The Material Design look and feel here works great, and while some different color choices would be nice, the night mode is an appreciated addition.
- Overall (4/5) – Touch&Solve Calculator might not be an immediate need for a lot of users, but there's good value here and it offers up just enough extra to replace whatever calculator app your Android device came with.
- Offers users history of calculations without any hoops to go through or anything.
- Night mode will be a little gentler on battery life and makes numbers easier to make out.
- Easy to use with simple, intuitive touch controls.
- Will blend in no matter which Android device you're using.
- No setting to turn vibration on or off, but sliding it all the way down does the same thing.
- Different color themes would be a nice addition for such a Material Design app.
All-in-all, Touch&Solve is a great app for those that want a little more than the stock calculator app offers, but don't want to go overboard. The computing history alone is a good enough reason to use this instead of your built-in calculator app and it looks great as well. For a free app that costs very little to upgrade, thus getting rid of ads, Touch&Solve is a neat little addition to Android, and puts Google's own to shame.

With Winter right on our doorsteps, my skin has become a little dry of late. I have combination skin, but in Winter my skin tends to dry out. We all know that applying makeup on dry skin can cause flakiness, creases, bumpiness and texture. Because of this, using a good moisturizer before your makeup application is crucial. Failing to prep your skin properly can cause nasty breakouts as well as clog your pores. It can also negatively affect the outcome of your look, which means your makeup will require more touch ups throughout the day. Before you apply any makeup products on your face, you have to prep and take care of the skin underneath first. At the end of this blog post, I'll share some tips on how to choose the perfect moisturizer.
Kiki Beauty sent me their Make-up Ready Natural Radiance Moisturizer to test and review. Kiki Beauty is a luxury skincare brand and they currently have 3 ranges available:
The product I'm reviewing today is part of their Make-Up Ready Range.
Claims (taken from Kiki Beauty) :
"Make-Up Ready Natural Radiance Moisturiser is a delightfully delicate and gentle face moisturising cream which dazzles the senses when applied to the face. The Radiance Moisturiser, Step 1 of the Make-Up Ready process, provides a surge of hydration and moisture as it works to revive the healthy tone and texture of the skin.
This multi-tasking moisturiser will transform a dull and flat complexion into one that is youthfully radiant and gorgeously glowing. KiKi's Natural Radiance Moisturiser is hydrating and creamy without being oily and heavy. Suitable for providing a balanced, healthy looking skin for both dry and oily skin types."
Important Ingredients (taken from Kiki) :
Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) – Helps to revive skin's healthy tone and texture.
Avocado Oil (Persea Gratissima Oil) – Rejuvenates skin and helps to improve skin elasticity.
Hydrolysed Candida Saitona Extract – Extract from a fungi obtained from a fermentation process. Helps to detoxify and repair skin, helps with anti-ageing and helps to restore skin's natural radiance.
Allantoin – Soothes and softens skin. Provides moisture to the skin.
Packaging: This product comes in a plain white tube with black writing and an unsrewable lid. It comes packaged in a beautiful black box with silver glitter. I adore the packaging of these products. Personally, I think it looks very high end. The tube contains 50ml of product.
Consistency: The consistency of this product is thin and feels very hydrating and smooth. It's doesn't feel oily or sticky.
My Experience:
Because this is a makeup ready moisturizer, I only used it when I was wearing a full face of makeup, which is not every day. There are many days where I don't wear any makeup at all, to allow my skin to breathe. I did however want to test this moisturizer properly, so I wore foundation for 3 days, BB cream for 3 days, and tinted moisturizer for 3 days. Each time I used this moisturizer before applying anything else to my face. I wanted to see how well it would work with different types of products. The first time I applied this product I was impressed because it didn't sting my skin or leave a tingly feeling. I squeezed a little in my palm, rubbed my palms together and "pressed" the product onto my my entire face, excluding the area around my eyes. It has a very thin consistency and felt a little sticky, but it does take a while to dry down on the face. I did my eyebrows in the meantime, so the moisturizer could dry properly. It is very important to let your moisturizer dry, else it will move your foundation around on your face/ cause it to slip, which is not a good look at all. After I did my eyebrows, the moisturizer was dry and the stickiness was gone. It didn't feel greasy/oily and didn't make my face look shiny either. It's kinda like my skin just soaked it all up, which is quite cool, you know? I then applied a primer to my cheeks and nose and thereafter applied my foundation, concealer,contour, powder, blush etc. My skin looked a tad bit smoother and not so flat, but rather healthy and a little bit radiant. The moisturizer is very lightweight, so it didn't feel like I had 10 layers of products on my face. Sometimes, certain face moisturizers clogs my pores so bad that it feels as if my face is hyperventilating. I'm pleased to say that this moisturizer didn't cause that reaction. When I used this under my BB cream, my face looked smooth and plump. When I used it under my tinted moisturizer, it gave my skin a subtle glow, even when set with powder. I know you're probably thinking "why does it have different effects with different products?" (ie: foundation, BB cream, tinted moisturizer). It has different effects because foundation, BB cream and tinted moisturizers all have different consistencies and often different ingredients. Foundation is medium – full coverage, BB cream is light coverage, and tinted moisturizer doesn't give any coverage but evens out the skin. So, you see, it worked a little differently with different products, but overall it worked well with all of them and I like how it makes my skin feel. I have combination skin, so my tzone is quite oily sometimes. I expected the moisturizer to cause oiliness throughout the day – more so than usual – but gladly it didn't. It also didn't cause my foundation to crack/move throughout the day. It smells a little bit like sun screen mixed with roses, but it isn't too overpowering and goes away after the product dries. When I removed my makeup at night, my skin felt smoother than it usually does. Usually when I remove my makeup, my skin feels a little tight and stiff, but not with this product. My skin felt smooth and hydrated, and when I washed my face with some face wash and applied my nighttime face care regime, I didn't have any adverse reactions or sudden break outs.
I think this product will fare amazing, for Winter especially! It feels oh-so-good on the skin and is gentle too. If you have dry skin, or even oily skin, I would recommend you to try this moisturizer for Winter. I have combination skin and it worked pretty great for me.
Where To Purchase:
You can purchase Kiki Beauty products from their online store. They are a proudly South African company, which is quite exciting! The Make-Up Ready Natural Radiance Moisturizer retails for R360 per 50ml. All of their products are:
- Paraben Free
- Sulphate Free
- Mineral Oil Free
- Petrolatum Free
- Cruelty free
- Made in South Africa
My Tips On Choosing Moisturizers:
Choose According To Your Skin Type: You can get oil-free, extra heavy, or in between moisturizers. Oil-free or light moisturizers are best for people with oily, combination, or normal skin. Heavier moisturizers are better suited for for dry skin, but because of their heavy/thick consistency, they can be a slippery base for your foundation and other makeup. If you struggle with breakouts or oily skin, look for an oil-free moisturizer that is non-comodogenic. Find a moisturizer that you like and enjoy. You don't have to use the same moisturizer on your entire face. If you have dry skin on some areas, use a heavy moisturizer for that. If you have oiliness on some areas, use a lighter moisturizer for that. Play around with it and see what works best for you. Also check your foundation ingredients. Dewy foundation or foundation for drier skin usually has moisturizer in it already. If you use this type of foundation, I would suggest you use a lighter moisturizer, so you don't overdo the moisture. If you do not know your skin type, you can go to a salon for a skin analysis (I went for one last year) and the therapist will sort it out for you.
SPF: if your moisturizer doesn't have any SPF in it, I strongly suggest you get a product with SPF to apply over your moisturizer. Some foundations and BB creams contain SPF, in that case you won't need to apply sun screen. However, if none of the products you have contain any SPF, rather get a good sun screen/balm you can apply before/after your moisturizer/foundation. Don't underestimate the importance of using SPF. Over time the sun will damage your skin horrendously, and can cause fine lines, wrinkles, rapid aging, pigmentation and even skin cancer. Even when it is overcast, your skin still gets affected by UV rays.
Moisturizers Should Not Only Be Applied During The Day: Ideally, you need two moisturizers. One for day time that is light and includes SPF, and one for night time that is heavier. Before you apply makeup, use the lighter moisturizer, so your face doesn't feel clogged. Check that your daily moisturizer contains at least SPF 15 to protect your skin from the harsh rays of the sun.
Lips: When you've found a good moisturizer for your face, don't forget your lips. Find a good lip balm/lip oil to fend off flakiness and cracks. Just like you moisturize your face, you need to moisturize your lips as well. My favorite lip balm is from Kiki Beauty. Follow this link to read my thoughts on it.
That's it guys. I hope you found these tips helpful.
Disclaimer: I received this product from Kiki Beauty free of charge, but that in no way influenced my opinion on the product. This is not a sponsored post. All opinions are my own.

Pelicans air surfing
In offshore winds, pelicans ride the updrafts in front of waves, making it look sort of like they're surfing. Here are some short video clips of this.

Impressive House In Beverly Hills
The architects for this house are unknown, but they did a fantastic job. This 5,868 sq. ft masterpiece in Beverly Hills runs at around $7 Million (US). The floors are made of high quality Brazilian walnut wood except for the living room area which uses rug flooring. The living room includes a massive 24-foot concrete fireplace. An entertainment deck made of Ipe Brazilian Hardwood sits outside, ready for every occasion. Recessed lighting helps illuminate the house while a Nuvo audio system plays music throughout the house. With this audio system, the residents can use a remote control to start playing their favorite music and they can hear it no matter what room they are in. The master bedroom features a spa tub, a shower, its own dining room, an additional bedroom, and a kitchen. Why anyone would need all that... I don't know. The upstairs features a really cool floating glass office/media room. The pool is a nice addition to the back of the house, so residents and guests can cool off when it gets hot or just go for a swim. Every sink has a television mounted above it so you can catch up on the news while you wash your hands.

Solar radiation sensor (Pyranometer)
The various radiation fluxes to and from the earth's surface are among the most important variables for the earth's thermal balance. Radiation measurements are mainly done for:
Solar radiation, as an endless source of energy is proven to be widely applied, due to its abundance and ease of use (e.g. evaporation estimations). Pyranometers are the scientific instruments for the measuring of solar radiation. They consist of a photodiode detector, which creates a voltage output that is proportional to the incoming radiation. Also due to the design of the diffuser, its sensitivity is proportional to the cosine of the angle of incidence of the incoming radiation, allowing for accurate and consistent measurements.
Net radiation sensor (Net radiometer)
The network is equipped with sensors for measuring net radiation, which is the balance between incoming and outgoing radiation under outdoor conditions.
The specific instrument (net radiometer) is based on a thermopile sensor. The voltage is proportional to the net radiation.
Variables: rainfall • temperature • relative humidity • solar radiation • sunshine duration • wind direction and velocity

Last year it fell on my birthday which made it doubly cool.
I especially love when the day is pretty & sunny like today.
It was also a tad bit cold & pretty darn windy too, but hey, can't have it all!
I remember it snowing one year.
Booosh, it was cold.
Anyway, I actually have a picture of each individual entry in the parade but will certainly not bore you with all of it, but I did want to share some of my faves, beginning with these two chicks riding the Ozarka College float.
This was pretty nifty!
Apparently there is an antique tractor club somewhere in the community and they brought some of their beauties to town.
John Deere:
and Case:
Next we have Cody & Marcus, A.K.A Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum! (j/k guys!)

They were pulling Molly's daycare float.
And you cannot have a Christmas parade without the Big Guy!Alex & her friend Tracy decided to ride their horses in the parade this year, first time in a couple of years they've ridden horses. Anyway, they wanted to carry a banner to "advertise" their 4H club and Alex went to Tracy's house last week and they made a nice looking PAPER banner. (key word = PAPER) - just stay with me a minute.
Better known as Santa.
Okay, I have to tell this story, so please bear with me.
Better known as Santa.
Okay, I have to tell this story, so please bear with me.
Now, when she came home and showed it to me, I was like, "that is really cool, but where is the banner going?"
and she said, "we are going to carry it."
I said, "on your horses???"
and she was like, all nonchalantly/smart aleck-y, "well, yeah!"
I don't know how many of my blog readers have ever ridden a horse - in a parade - but there is a lot going on when you are riding - in a parade. Kids everywhere, sirens, candy being thrown, bands, music, screaming. Not to mention you are riding on asphalt which is slick to a horse wearing horseshoes.
Anyway, I am picturing these two knuckleheads on their horses - good horses, but "HELLO!" A paper banner between two horses, during a parade....come on!
I explained to her that the banner would probably never make it through. She explained how they were planning to rig up the banner with these large plastic candy canes so they could hold onto it. yeah right....
So that was our conversation last week.
Fast forward to today.....
Do you remember me mentioning how windy it was today?
Well, that was just double jeopardy in my mind for their groovy banner.
I even told Alex I needed to get their picture before they left because that banner would never make it through to where I was going to be during the parade taking pictures.
Well, low and behold - those little stinkers made it all the way through! I was astounded!
Are you still here?
Okay, good.
Sorry for the long story, but I was just so floored that #1 they made it and #2 that I was wrong!
I can admit when I'm wrong.
Mind you it doesn't happen very often! ;)
I was wrong in this instance!
I present Tracy, Alex, Toby & Hippy....AND
their banner!
their banner!
Here we have the ever loveable, ever cutie patootie, Molly Grace.There is free cocoa, coffee and cookies at the end.
She had a blast being in the float throwing candy.
And here is Amy, Molly & Brandi.
She had a blast being in the float throwing candy.
And here is Amy, Molly & Brandi.
And the Big Guy is set up handing out candy & fruit and finding out what all the locals want under their tree Christmas morn.
They even take Polaroid pictures of the little ones with Santa.
Just good times all around.
I love living in Small Town, Arkansas, USA!
There will be another parade next Saturday down the road in Hardy.
Don't know if I'll make that one.
Probably depends on the weather.
Wow, I've blogged two nights in a row.
I'm on a roll here!
I'll be back tomorrow with more of my Daily December pages.
Happy Saturday Night!
