Located just 20 minutes outside the city of Portland, Hillsboro is home to an average of 92,000 people. The climate is like most of the Northwest, with an average of 160 days filled with rain. On the upside, this type of weather allows the many vineyards in and around Hillsboro to produce some of the Northwest's tastiest wines. Farmer's markets, state parks and farms are still abundant throughout the outskirts of the city. With the huge jump in technology jobs, more families are relocating to Hillsboro's neighborhoods from all around the country, although parts of the city are still filled with a young and hip crowd.
While searching for your new pad, there are a few important pieces of information to keep in mind. You can find individual homes for rent along with apartment complexes--solitude or lots of new friends...tough choice. The closer the neighborhood is to the city line of Portland, the more your rent is going to cost you. Some neighborhoods are not renter-friendly and will put up the blockades to keep you out. Renting in Hillsboro is not a challenge, but as with anything else, it takes a good search to discover the diamond in the rough. When searching, keep these tips in mind and you'll walk away with keys to a brand new place.
Best time to rent The best time to rent in Hillsboro is between January and March. Why, you may ask? It is incredibly rainy at this time, and there are more people who care about the linens getting soaked than saving a bundle on rent.
Be Prepared Before you go scope out your potential place, bring the items a landlord is going to ask you for, which of course means your ID, pay stubs, references and application fee. By not bringing these with you to find an apartment (especially in those picky neighborhoods that offer very few rentals), you'll waste time and give away your dream to some other person who was prepared to act.
The Cost The great thing about apartments for rent and homes for rent in Hillsboro is there is a neighborhood for every budget. Obviously, if you are looking for an apartment in a complex rather than a single family home, your rent will be lower and your bank account will thank you every month. Most apartments offer some paid utilities, while the single family homes do not.
Hillsboro is different than other cities because most of the neighborhoods are named after popular streets located within the neighborhood. There are a few neighborhoods where the names have stuck, though these are the types of neighborhoods where the gardeners wear Louis Vuitton gardening gloves and the rental prices are steep.
Sauvie Island: Sauvie Island isn't really an island at all, but don't let that steer you away. There are some gems in this neighborhood. It's on the water, and the prices reflect that. Made up of mostly farms and single family developments, this neighborhood is perfect if you have a family. $$$$
NW Meek Road: Filled with young professionals and urbanites, this neighborhood is not known to have apartment complexes. If an apartment high rise is in your future, though, this is the place for you. $$$$
Forest Grove: Forest Grove is a mix of all things suburbia. This neighborhood has great schools and an abundance of parks and is ideal for young families. There are a ton of single family rentals and apartment complexes for your choosing. $$$
NW Cornelius Road: This neighborhood was voted "Best Place to Retire" by USNews.com. It's packed full of golfing retirees. If the mere chance of being pegged by a golf ball doesn't frighten you off, you'll love this neighborhood. The prices vary in this neighborhood drastically because there is so much to choose from. It's one of the few neighborhoods in Hillsboro that offers apartment complexes, homes for rent, townhomes for rent and duplexes. $$$$
Downtown Hillsboro: Downtown has an old-fashioned charm and is in the middle of it all. The rentals here are mostly old houses renovated into apartments. Cafes, locally owned boutiques and art galleries line the streets. The farmers market is located in downtown too. $$$
Whichever neighborhood you decide to plant your roots, you'll be happy to know that a MAX station (Portland's light rail system) is nearby. Even with the MAX, you'll see more people bicycling to get where they need to go. Hillsboro is full of history, culture and family-friendly activities. Being just a MAX ride to Portland, it's also a young professional's ideal city.

Faithful commenter Kellie has accused us of getting "all mature" with our thoughtful, measured research on whether to adopt a dog.
Kellie, lest you think we are becoming competent parents, let me tell you about last Saturday night.
8:00 p.m. Head to St. Patrick's Day party at our friend Therese's parents' home. Send the Nut off to play with Reese's kids and Grace. Grab margarita.
8:45 p.m. Start thinking about how the kid's bedtime was about the time we arrived at the party. Figure she's having a good time.
10:15 p.m. Really start thinking about how it's time to get the kid home. Go looking for her. Witness this:
Motor sports!
11:30 p.m.: Really really leave the party. Hey… it's not a school night.
11:35 p.m.: Arrive home. Lock house keys in the car. Which is in the garage. Which is also locked.
11:36 p.m.: Call everyone we suspect we've ever loaned a key to. Fruitlessly. Begin attempts to break into house and garage while the Nut sleeps on Pop's lap on the front porch.
11:40 p.m. Curse fact that windows are painted shut.
11:45 p.m. Call Pop-A-Lock. Wait.
12:15 a.m. Lead Pop-A-Lock man to locked garage. Show him locked door. Wait for Pop-A-Lock man while he returns to his car to collect a "special tool" to pick the lock.
12:16 a.m. Witness Pop-A-Lock man pick garage door lock. With a credit card.
12:17 a.m. Pay Pop-A-Lock man 80 bucks.
12:20 a.m. Transfer sleeping Peanut to her bed. Without bothering to change her into pajamas.
Take that, Kellie.

Here are some of the easy-peasy ways to make a good customized moisturizer for your skin. You can always adjust as per your skin need.
Interesting Read - DIY Homemade Face Masks
1 - Coconut Oil and Olive Oil DIY Moisturizer
Coconut Oil and Olive Oil based diy homemade moisturizers are especially for those who want to get rid of dry skin. If your skin is facing dryness related issues, and the glow is gone, this DIY moisturizer is going to solve that for you. Here is how you can try it out:
Combine the coconut oil, olive oil, and beeswax in a heatproof jar.
Take a saucepan and fill it with the ¾ amount of water. Now place the pot in it. Heat the pot and pan in the same setting for about 5 minutes. Remove the jar, empty the pan, and refill the latter with cold water.
Place the pot back again, and keep them together for about 5 minutes. Once you done cooling, add the essential oil of your choice and whisk all the ingredients together until they are creamy and thick. Your homemade moisturizer for fresh and glowing skin is already. TADA 🙂
2 - Lime and Milk DIY Moisturizer
This one solves the skin problems of people with almost any skin type, with added benefits for those who have oily skin. You have to be extra sensitive about whatever moisturizer you use, as it plays a substantial part in shaping up your skin.
This is why this recipe uses all-natural ingredients including lactic acid to soften the skin and olive oil to keep skin healthy and remove the dirt and dead skin cells out of it.
To make this easy moisturizer, you need to fill a quarter of a cup of milk. Add olive oil to it and mix it thoroughly, till it settles. Lastly, pour in the lime and keep stirring until the moisturizing paste formed. Now use it and see your skin getting all the glow you ever wanted.
3 - Cocoa Butter DIY Moisturizing Cream
Cocoa Butter is pleasant to smell and equally pleasant in getting a soft and silky skin. If you done with the chapped skin, this moisturizer is going end all the wrinkles, acne, acne marks, stress lines and leave your skin like a new born babies.
Take a boiler, add all the ingredients together and heat. Keep heating the mixture, until all the elements mixed properly.
Once you get the creamy texture, cut the heat and allow it to cool a bit. Keep out the moisturizer, store it in a container and cool. Apply it daily on a washed face before sleeping. We guarantee that you won't have to use any skin correcting product ever again.
4 - Aloe Vera Gel DIY Moisturizer
Aloe Vera known to have great effects on skin, and its moisturizer has found to be the most effective. The daily use of Aloe Vera based moisturizer, especially for those who do heavy makeup on a regular basis, will leave the skin fresh, supple and soft.
Take the pure aloe vera gel and mix it well with lavender oil. Now add one tablespoon of primrose oil to the blend and merge in properly. After the creamy mixture formed, store it in the fridge. Apply daily for best results and smooth and young skin.
Final Verdict
I hope you try one of the moisturizers above and benefit greatly from it. You can prepare it and store it in a pump bottle to use it conveniently. Make sure you keep it in a cool place. My personal favorite is the aloe vera gel one as it is very gentle and soothing on the skin.

Steam is a content delivery, digital rights management and multiplayer system developed by Valve Software. It is currently used to distribute and serve multiplayer games for Half-Life and Half-Life 2. Steam replaces WON, which was originally used for Half-Life multiplayer games.
The difference between a normal server and a dedicated server reside in the fact that one of them is dedicated to do only one thing, hosting the server. Setting up a Dedicated Server is relatively easy, unless you're installing it with the "HLDS Update Tool". If you're ready to get dirty into your terminal in order to get the maximum performance out of your CPU.
1Make sure the Windows user you're logged-in as has permission to overwrite the "HldsUpdateTool" executable.
2Download the HLDS Update Tool according to your Operating System (OS). Whether you run a Linux distro or a Windows build, you may get your files under the Dedicated Server title on the right.
3Install the update tool in x:\HLServer.
4Open a terminal (Start>Run>cmd).
5Use directory traversal and go to your HLServer directory (cd \HLServer).
6Type in "HldsUpdateTool" (or just "h" then cycle tab through the files until you got the exe) or ./steam for Linux users then a space then enter -command update -game <game>. Replace <game> with the game you want to host, be it "cstrike", "dmc", "dod", "ricochet", "tfc", "valve", "Counter-Strike Source", or "hl2mp". Enter -dir x:\hlserver afterwards and then press enter and let it rest. A correct example would be:
HldsUpdateTool -command update -game cstrike -dir c:\hlserver
7If it worked so far, it should now be installing the files needed to run the server.
8When it is over, make a shortcut of hlds.exe on your desktop.
9Go into the properties of the shortcut.
10In the Target line, go to the very end of the address then add -console -game <Game> +maxplayers <Number> +map '<StartMap>'. By doing this, each time you will load the HLDS with this shortcut, you will open it in a console, meaning less memory usage and more CPU power available.Advertisement

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you'll have noticed that Pokemon Go has become something of an overnight phenomenon.
The augmented reality smartphone game, where players have to try to catch Pokemon, which appear as if they are right in front of them in real life, has people obsessed.
SO obsessed, in fact, that it seems every socially acceptable thing they've ever learnt has been forgotten and replaced by the need to literally catch them all.
Here are 11 instances of people playing the game that will make you feel quite uneasy about the future.
1. This man who couldn't resist getting his pokeball out when his wife was in labour.
2. This bunch of people who look like they're literally being controlled by their phones.
3. This reporter forgetting she's at work and walking straight across the live weather forecast.
4. This dude who thought a wedding was the perfect time to play.
5. In a public loo? Seriously?!
6. This US soldier catching a Squirtle in Iraq. Yes, Iraq.
7. A boyfriend who got caught out cheating on his girlfriend because she spotted he'd caught a Pokemon at his ex's house.
Arrested Development GIF – Find & Share on GIPHY
Evan Scribner told the New York Post: "She found out last night at my house and hasn't contacted me since then."
8. The depressing amount of people who are catching Pokemon at funerals.
9. When romance takes a tumble.
10. A guy who got STABBED by a stranger but carried on gaming and didn't get his wound looked at until the next day.
Reaction GIF – Find & Share on GIPHY
Michael Baker told Fox 12: "I saw him go by and asked if he was playing Pokemon GO. He was like 'what?'. I guess he wanted to battle because he came up at me with a knife."
11. When shops have no other choice but to put up notices like this.

Community Guidelines
As a global platform for creativity and self-expression, HighSchoolBall is deeply committed to supporting and protecting freedom of speech. At the same time, we draw lines around a few narrowly defined but deeply important categories of content and behavior that jeopardize our users, threaten our infrastructure, and damage our community.
What HighSchoolBall is not for:
Malicious Speech.
Don't encourage violence or hatred on the basis of things like race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, or sexual orientation. We encourage you to dismantle negative speech through argument rather than censorship. We will, however, remove anything that is overtly malicious.
Report malicious speech
Harm to Minors.
Be thoughtful when posting anything involving a minor. Don't post or solicit anything relating to minors that is sexually suggestive or violent. Don't bully minors, even if you are one. Being a teenager is complicated enough without the anxiety, sadness, and isolation caused by bullying.
Report harm to minors
Promotion or Glorification of Self-Harm.
Don't post content that actively promotes or glorifies self-harm. This includes content that urges or encourages others to: cut or injure themselves; embrace anorexia, bulimia, or other eating disorders; or commit suicide rather than, e.g., seeking counseling or treatment, or joining together in supportive conversation with those suffering or recovering from depression or other conditions. Dialogue about these behaviors is incredibly important and online communities can be extraordinarily helpful to people struggling with these difficult conditions. We aim for HighSchoolBall to be a place that facilitates awareness, support and recovery, and we will remove only those posts that cross the line into active promotion or glorification of self-harm.
Gore, Mutilation, Bestiality, or Necrophilia.
Don't post gore just to be shocking. Don't showcase the mutilation or torture of human beings, animals, or their remains.
Report self-harm
Uploading Sexually Explicit Video.
You can embed anything in a HighSchoolBall post as long as it's lawful and follows our other guidelines, but please don't use HighSchoolBall's Upload Video feature to upload sexually explicit video. We're not in the business of hosting adult-oriented videos.
Non-Genuine Social Gesture Schemes.
Don't participate in schemes to drive up non-genuine Follows, Likes, etc. Don't orchestrate or engage in "follow trains", where users are encouraged to follow lists of other users to gain more followers for themselves. Don't make bulk or indiscriminate use of messaging features, like Fan Mail or Asks, to, for example, bait Follows or drive traffic to your website. If you want people to like you, just play it cool and be yourself.
Deceptive or Fraudulent Links.
Don't post deceptive or fraudulent links in your posts. This includes giving links misleading descriptions, putting the wrong "source" field in a post, setting misleading click-through links on images, or embedding links to interstitial or pop-up ads.
Misattribution or Non-Attribution.
Make sure you always give proper attribution and include full links back to original sources. It's less work and more fun, anyway.
Misattribution or non-attribution
Username/URL Abuse or Squatting.
HighSchoolBall's usernames/URLs are meant for the use and enjoyment of all of our users. Don't squat, hoard, amass, accumulate, accrue, stockpile, rack up, buy, trade, sell, launder, invest in, ingest, get drunk on, cyber with, grope, or jealously guard HighSchoolBall usernames/URLs.
Don't spam people. Don't make spammy posts, don't post spammy replies, don't send people spammy messages. Be a regular human. Don't put tags on your posts that will mislead or deceive searchers. For example, don't tag a photo of your cat with "doctor who" unless the name of your cat is actually Doctor Who, and don't overload your posts with #barely #relevant #tags. Of course, meaningful uses of tags are always fine (for example, ironic "punchline" tags that add meaning or context to a post). Don't put dubious code in your posts, like using JavaScript to cause redirects or inject unwanted ads. Don't use deceptive means to generate revenue or traffic with the primary purpose of affiliate marketing. Spam doesn't belong on HighSchoolBall.
Mass Registration or Automation.
Don't register accounts or post content automatically, systematically, or programmatically.
Unauthorized Contests, Sweepstakes, or Giveaways.
Please follow our guidelines for contests, sweepstakes, and giveaways.
Copyright or Trademark Infringement.
Respect the copyrights and trademarks of others. If you aren't allowed to use someone else's copyrighted or trademarked work (either by license or by legal exceptions and limitations such as
fair use
), don't post it.
Intellectual property is a tricky issue, so now is as good a time as any to explain some aspects of the process we use for handling copyright and trademark complaints. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement as per our
Terms of Service
and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act; please submit an email to
DMCA Copyright
. Please note that we require a valid DMCA notice before removing content. Parties asserting a trademark infringement claim should identify the allegedly infringing work and the legal basis for their claim, and include the registration and/or application number(s) pertaining to their trademark. Each claim is reviewed by a trained member of our Trust and Safety team.
If we remove material in response to a copyright or trademark claim, the user who posted the allegedly infringing material will be provided with information from the complainant's notice (like identification of the rightsholder and the allegedly infringed work) so they can determine the basis of the claim.
We always want to make sure there is room in any copyright or trademark complaint for both parties to make their case. With regard to copyright claims, the posting user can file a DMCA counter-notification with us, as described in our
Terms of Service
. Counter-notifications that we determine to be valid will result in restoration of the content at issue following the required waiting period prescribed by the DMCA. With regard to trademark claims, the posting user can send us an appeal explaining their side of the situation, along with any relevant materials we should look at. A successful trademark appeal will also result in restoration of the content at issue.
With regard to repeat copyright infringement, we use a three-strike system to evaluate the standing of a user's account, where, generally, each valid copyright infringement notice constitutes a strike, and three strikes results in the termination of a user's account. When a user submits a valid DMCA counter-notification, we remove the associated strike from their record.
Whew. It's a complex process, but one we're proud of, and that we think strikes all the appropriate balances.
Report copyright infringement
Report trademark infringement
Confusion or Impersonation.
Don't do things that would cause confusion between you and a person or company, like registering a deliberately confusing URL. Don't impersonate anyone. While you're free to ridicule, parody, or marvel at the alien beauty of Benedict Cumberbatch, you can't pretend to actually be Benedict Cumberbatch.
Report confusion or impersonation
Don't attempt to circumvent the Ignore feature or otherwise try to communicate with someone who has asked you to stop.

It would be unkind to say I am a total failure in the world of domestic home-improvement projects. Not inaccurate, just unkind. Because I really try. And luckily for the retailers who sell dreams of being successful next time, I never completely give up.
Which is why I should stay out of stores with painted furniture. Only I didn't (I blame my daughter for this, because she took me to one). I loved it. And how hard could painting furniture be? If I wanted to know that, I could wander down to the basement to behold the small chest with paint drips down the side, and veneer that should have been repaired before I painted, but I didn't want to be discouraged. I wanted to shed my reputation as someone who could mess up "foolproof" directions and who really should stick with finding other people's mistakes (editing) instead of making them myself (painting).
Besides, I rationalized, this was weekend entertainment. And also, if I turned out to be really good at this, then it was potentially a side job. Right… most people pick side jobs they are good at. One thing I was serious about: I was not going to spend a fortune on something that might turn out to be a disaster. And given my history, that was possible. Likely, even.
Getting Started
I checked Pinterest, normally the downfall of people like me, but looked specifically for painting mistakes and for tips for first-timers. I came away with some basic information that a) I needed an angled brush (still not sure why), b) the angled brush should not be the cheapest I could find (the bristles can shed and mess up your paint job), c) I should use a primer, not a paint with primer in it (bad — I wanted to make this as quick and efficient as possible), and d) I wanted THIN coats of paint, even though in my heart of hearts I did not want to see the flowery design on the old dresser peek through after I had primed and painted. Also, I wanted instant, or at least quick, results.
Armed with this advice, I went to my local home-improvement store, with a couple of drawer pulls rattling around in the bottom of my purse. (If you are truly uninitiated, you need a screwdriver to remove these. The "plus" kind is called a Phillips screwdriver and the "minus" is a standard. A further hint to help you remember which way to twist it: "righty-tighty, lefty-loosey." That I find these useful should help you ascertain my level of expertise and skill.)
Job One was to pick a color. I already knew I wanted something with an enamel finish, and something that would clean up with soap and water. I looked in the bargain bin to see what was available. There wasn't any water-based enamel, but there was pink-tinted primer in a small (31.5 ounce) can. Non-returnable and $1.99. Sold. Who cared about primer color? You cover that, right? No such luck with the enamel, so I looked at the colors. I selected something called "Rock Lagoon," and the paint-mixer person mixed it up for me, wiping her paint-covered thumb on her apron, announcing, "I love this — it's a happy color!" (It also looked like what I saw at the painted furniture store.) And I liked the saleswoman, because she did not look like she was trying hard not to sigh or roll her eyes when I explained what I was doing (I wasn't sure) and asked about paintbrushes. I picked up a brush and a dropcloth (sort of — it was brown paper) and wandered over to drawer pulls. The ones I really loved were really expensive. I decided to wait to see how the paint job was going to go.
Diving In
The furniture victim was a little-girl dresser with a Formica top that looks like wood. The furniture was made of pressed board, exposed when the "paint" finish peeled off. I couldn't get all of it to peel off and didn't worry about that. Then I cleaned the piece with Windex (another Pinterest tip). Pressed board is supposedly harder to work with than actual wood, but it was easier for me, because it involved no guilt that I might be destroying something of value. So I painted the furniture tinted-primer-pink. Then rinsed the brush and started in on the enamel (the label said primer dried in 30 minutes, and it took at least that long for me to paint). You have to wait at least two hours to do a second coat of enamel. I probably waited an hour and 50 minutes because I'm impatient.
The next morning I put the dresser back together and retouched the paint (the retouching was necessary after I tried to force the wrong drawer in — if the drawers are different depths, this would be a good thing to note ahead of time). I was astonished that it kind of resembled some of the Pinterest pictures of projects that were successful. And then I stood back and thought of more ways I could spend money on this.
The people who know what they are doing often choose to use chalk paint, and then they "distress" furniture, sanding it and using stain to make it look older. My cheap furniture wasn't going to be sanded; it had no grain to follow. After that, I think you wax the furniture (more money!) or else use a water-based varnish (who knew those existed?). So I was exempt from any desire to further distress any furniture that had already spent years in a child's room and then been at the mercy of my "talent." It had already been traumatized plenty. (But on the being-thrifty side, cheap furniture that would not withstand further refinishing saved me money twice.)
I had a moment of wondering what it would look like if I bought new hardware or painted the top a contrasting color. But then I remembered one crucial thing: If I "invested" any more in this piece of furniture, I couldn't brag that I transformed it for less than $30. (And then there was the fact that I hadn't yet ruined the furniture.) I decided to stop while I was ahead; I moved the dresser back into its place and left it alone.

The Great British Bake Off is everywhere.
You can't open a single newspaper or innocently surf the web without seeing a picture of Paul Hollywood holding a freshly baked latticed sausage roll.
This man is gunning for world domination, I tell you. He won't be happy until we're actually living in gingerbread houses and sleeping in beds made of Victoria Sponge.
And I don't mind! Because GBBO is addictive, educational, twee and COOL. It's our absolute favourite show here at EIC and, you know what? I think it's yours too.
The proof is in the pudding: 5.6 million viewers! That's more than Holby City… but why should that be surprising: Holby City is spectacularly shite and no-one watches it.
Our fave bits of the series?
Manisha's sloppy American pie still makes us howl. Mary Berry saying she likes 'a good soaking' was pure in-your-endo gold-leaf. Paul looking 'for a good 8-inches'… well, even Sue couldn't hold it together.
I'll miss Sarah-Jane saying 'Oh, OK' over and over again to the judges. And the fact that the whole country has been weekly rediscovering certain baked treats: Teacakes – OMG, we completely forgot they are delicious?! And of course, John's bloody glove. Bless him.
Oh and Sue's hair! One word. Grimmy.
But it's nearly time to take our collapsed strudels out the oven for good. This show has been *my life* and now it will be followed by a month long depression or immediate replacement with something like Downton, which isn't as good as last series but we're saving that for another post.
GBBO should just carry on indefinitely. Y'know, hold the bakers at gunpoint and make them cream butter forever.
Just think of how many more bakers there are in the country now. Including me, even though the things I have made thanks to GBBO are shit:
APPLE PIE: came out looking like a shriveled scrotum.
CUPCAKES: so hard you could play cricket with them.
MALTESER CAKE: I had to sprinkle it with salt after it came out of the oven just to make it palatable.
But never mind, we can still live the dream by watching the last GBBO of the series on Tuesday, BBC2, 8pm.
I'm going to miss Brendan, the 60 year old sweetie who's come out in every way possible without saying he's gay. There is nothing in the world that rivals the grand campness of his gay gingerbread house, not even Tom Daley showering.
Then there's John the Hottie, who is a hottie. Hotter, in fact, than Sexy Baker Rob Billington from last series. We've loved every bit of him, including the small chunk that got lobbed off in the food processor. Bless him again.
And let's not forget the not-quite-as-hot-but-somehow-sexier James, who's ONLY 21 and is a medical student, makes doughnuts for fun and plays in a two-man band. This is the sort of robust Scottish man one wants to bring home to their parents, then sit back and watch mutual love unfold.
We reckon James'll clinch it.
Yes, the squirrel with giant testicles wasn't around to show off his nuts. And sure, occasionally the bakes were a little bit too out there (I mean, who makes their own crackers?!)
But all in all, this was gripping TV. Goodbye GBBO. And please come back soon.
Who do you want to win? Let us know!

Here it is cold and grey ... so I am closing my eyes and imagining the smell of new fallen snow, the crunching sound it makes with a bit of panting dog in the background, and the most perfect blue.
Yes, thank you ...

Breathing in the photo of Django's sheer joy of frolicking in the snow is such a tonic. Thinking of all of the creative magic that you shared over this year Saskia, both in cloth, in your tales of your extended "family", in your book recommendations, in your travels: coming here has been and continues to be a gift, and one that I hope to continue for many more years to come.

I covet your dog! Dear Saskia, what a joy it is knowing you here, and on FB. I'ts early morning of the eve of the new year and I'm sending this traditional sung by Dougie MacLean - "Auld Lang Syne" written by Robert Burns in 1788 is set to the tune of a traditional folk song.

Ornate Koi Pond
This is a 24″x48″ mixed media/encaustic painting on wood. This painting is 1.5″ deep and the sides are red.
This painting is available HERE or directly from the artist firstname.lastname@example.com or 780 604-7523
It's been awhile. The girls are back in school and I am back in the studio. Sigh…it feels good. I think that they would agree, structure is good after a two month free for all. They are loving school as much as I am loving painting. I am also working on two portraits that are coming along nicely.
It really is nice to be back. Thanks for your on going love and support. I am still waiting for answers regarding health but I am trying to put that aside and just enjoy right now.
This painting in progress:

Something to ponder:
Emerson has said that consistency is a virtue of an ass. No thinking human being can be tied down to a view once expressed in the name of consistency. More important than consistency is responsibility. A responsible person must learn to unlearn what he has learned. A responsible person must have the courage to rethink and change his thoughts. Of course there must be good and sufficient reason for unlearning what he has learned and for recasting his thoughts. There can be no finality in rethinking.~ B. R. Ambedkar

Vapor Storm are a Chinese company based in Shenzhen. They have a whole range of different types of devices available. I was contacted by Vapor Storm and asked if I would conduct a review on a couple of their MODs, I was sent out for the purpose of review the Subverter (check out my review by clicking here) and the Puma which is what I have for you today.
What comes in the box:
- 1 x Puma 200W Box Mod (Without 18650 Batteries)
- 1 x Micro USB Cable
- 1 x User Manual
- 1 x Battery Safety Card
- 1 x QC Inspection Card
Taking a look at the box
The box itself is a solid flip top box with magnetic fasteners.
On the front of the box you will find a outlined picture of the MOD, the company name and the name of the MOD. On the base of the box you will find a detailed diagram of the MOD with pointers, a contents list, a MOD specifications list and QR code.
On the top dark side you will find the companies address, on the the other dark side with the magnetic fasteners the name of the MOD. On one of the white sides you'll find the colour option in the box and on the other white side the companies website address and some warning symbols.
The Puma's specifications:
- Voltage Range – 6.4V – 8.4V
- Resistance Range – 0.06Ω – 3.0Ω
- Coil Supporting – Kanthal, Ni200, Ti, SS316
- Wattage Range – 5W – 200W
- Material – Plastic
- Currant Range – Max 50A
- Temperature Range – 100ºC – 315ºC/200ºF – 600ºF
- Bypass Mode – with the ability to go up to 230W
- Fast Balanced Charging – DC 5V/1.5A
- Colours available – Red/Black, Blue, Camo Green, Camo Grey and Blue/Yellow (which is the one I have)
- Size – 80.7mm/43mm/40mm
- Weight – 70.6g
Taking a look at the device
The main casing of the device is made of a soft to touch painted hard plastic. For me it is a rounded triangular shaped MOD, which sits very comfortable in the palm of my hand. On the back of the MOD is the battery door which is connected by two magnets. There is also large slits on the edges of the battery door to allow ventilation for the batteries.
On top of the device the 510 connector is placed on the side above the fire button. The silver plate has some lovely groves for under the atomiser, ventilation and to keep juice out of the connector. The 510 connector pin is sprung loaded. There is nothing on the base of the MOD. Down one side of the MOD you will find VAPES embedded into the device.
On the fascia you will find a good sized fire button, a lovely sized vertical screen, the +/- buttons and the micro USB port at the bottom (another happy, smiley MOD). The buttons all have a good clicking sound to them.
Looking at the screen and menu options
Looking at the image below, this is the power screen or variable wattage screen. It displays the wattage in a large number. It also displays a temperature number, which I'm not entirely sure why as it has no effect in this mode. Below that you will find voltage, amps when in use, the ohms of your atomiser and puff counter in seconds.
Pressing and holding the +/- button together will start the top right hand corner of the screen flashing. Once flashing you can use the +/- button to scroll through the options.
I didn't get photos of each one, so here is the order that they come in Power VW, TMP Ni, TMP SS, TMP Ti, TMP M1, TMP M2, Power VP (Bypass), Power CCW (curve) and then back to Power VW.
The device fires very quickly, but you are able to change how quickly with the Fire Speed Control – On the main screen press the + button and fire button together, the screen will change to KEY SET and there are five options you can scroll through with the +/- buttons, press the fire button to select the desired option. 1 being the fastest and 5 being the slowest. (See top right image below).
When any of the temperature control modes are flashing if you press the fire button you will be able to set your desired wattage, as you can see in the two bottom images above.
So, the Curve option is not mentioned in the instruction manual. So here is how to use the feature;
- Once you are in CCW mode press the fire button, a small flashing dot will appear below the first bar of the curve table.
- Use the +/- button to scroll to desired wattage (a small wattage number comes on the screen, can't be seen in the image above).
- Once at desired wattage press the fire button, you can do this ten times by repeating the previous steps.
- When curve is completed press the fire button again to lock it in.
- Keep the screen on CCW to use the Curve when vaping.
Thoughts and Conclusions
For the purpose of the review I have used the following atomisers:
- Geek Vape Peerless with dual Alien coils at 0.16Ω
- Aspire Cleito EXO with a 0.4Ω SS316L coil
I've been using this device for over three weeks now, putting it through its paces and trying out its features.
The first thing I have to say, this device fires fast, impressively fast. What I do like though, is that there is an option to change the fire speed, there are five settings. I think this is a great feature, it just gives the user that little bit more control. Great addition Vapor Storm.
Aesthetically, I really like the look of the MOD, the shape, the weight and the feel. Though it is a solid plastic MOD it has this soft finish to it. I have found this MOD extremely comfortable to use. I also really like how the screen is vertical, it doesn't matter whether you are right or left handed. A lot of MOD's on the market are designed towards a right handed person, leaving us lefties (like me) a little bit upside down.
Batteries, putting them into the device I find them very tight and need a little manipulation, however taking them out using the ribbon is much easier. But once in I have found that I am getting a good life span from my batteries. When I first got the device I did think the magnets on it were a little weak, but I have had no problems with the door coming off whatsoever.
The 510 connector will comfortably fit a 30mm atomiser, but much more than that and you will start to see an over hang.
I do love the design of the MOD I've got and I really like some of the other colours that are available. It is a minor detail but it gets on my nerves that my battery door design isn't a continuation of the MOD design. I kind of expect the whole of my MOD to match.
All the buttons are great with some fantastic response times. The menu system is very easy to use and clear. However, I found a curve feature which is a great addition and I know there are a lot of people who will enjoy it. But, there is no mention of it in the device manual. I have been able to work out how to do a curve and how to use it.
I do have to say that this is a great MOD and I have really enjoyed using it. Looking around at the prices I've seen it is an excellent performing MOD at a very good price. I'm a little surprised that there is no mention of how to use the curve feature in the manual, but it doesn't take the shine off my opinion of the device.
- Fast firing
- Fire speed control
- Large vertical screen
- Curve feature
- The comfort feel of the device
- Comfortably allows 30mm atomisers
- Curve feature not explained in manual
- Possibly stronger magnets on the battery door

Vs. Nursing Homes
Assisted Living Compared to Nursing Homes
More Information
How is an Assisted Living Facility different from a Nursing Home? Families and seniors get confused on which place is better to live: Assisted living or Nursing home. Don't be mistaken--they're very different! Both have differences... and similarities. Sometimes, a retirement community offers both; assisted living and a nursing home facility. That's called a continuum of care retirement community.
Continuum of care is an integrated system of care that monitors and tracks a resident over time through an all-inclusive range of health services. The model encourages the delivery of optimum health care to the residents.
Facilities that offer a continuum of care have both nursing home services and assisted living residences. In addition, a nursing home is the term that has been most commonly used for senior residences that offer healthcare while assisted living is a more recent type of senior care offering that caters to those who seek a bit less care and more independence.
Assisted Living Facilities
Adults view assisted living as an independent option because they have the safeguards in place if residents need more support. Support services include; basic activities of daily living like bathing, grooming, dressing, and toileting. Because individual states regulate assisted living facilities, not federal, some states allow facilities to offer medication assistance and/or reminders.
Assisted living facilities range from standalone apartments or a cottage to a studio, one bedroom, or a large shared bedroom. The environment is appealing because it feels like home. Kitchenettes are available and feature a small refrigerator and microwave.
Assisted living does not offer complex medical services.
Nursing Homes
The main difference between assisted living facilities and nursing homes is the level of care a resident receives and the freedom given to the resident.
In nursing homes, residents are under constant medical supervision, in need of assistance with daily living and are not capable of living independently anymore, at all.
The residents in a nursing home are more like patients and unable to leave the facility on their own, mainly because they are physically or mentally powerless. While some residents in assisted living might need assistance with medicine management, bathing and other tasks, they are capable of handling most of the daily living activities on their own.
Assisted living residents might still drive, cook their own meals, come and go freely, have security of medical supervision, and social interaction with other residents. Nursing home residents do not.
Nursing homes provide living options for seniors in needs of varying levels of medical supervision for years while assisted living residences have become more popular in the last few decades.
Nursing Homes Deliver Complex Medical Services
Skilled Care - Intensive skilled care administered to patients requiring specialized care. Residents admitted to skilled nursing homes require constant monitoring, with complex medical procedures and services given by registered nurses. Complex medical services or intensive care treatment involves ventilator services, severe wound management, and tracheotomy care.
Skilled Nursing and Rehab Care - This care is under supervision of a licensed medical physician and administered on a daily basis by either a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse. It's often a part of a rehabilitation process administered as a long-term aid for a chronic illness or surgery. Skilled nursing procedures are wound care, intravenous injections, and feeding.
Intermediate Care - Most residents at this level are experiencing a long-term physical or emotional illness and are stable but need a registered nurse to monitor them. Intermediate care examples are physical therapy, administration of medication, and medical supervision.
Custodial care - does not apply to a medical condition and administered by non-medical personnel. Custodial care gives help in feeding, bathing and dressing.
Assisted Living Delivers Less Complex Medical Services
- Access to health care and medical services customized to specific needs.
- Assistance with eating, bathing, dressing, toileting, and walking as needed
- 24-hour emergency call systems for each resident
- Three meals a day served in dining area, housekeeping, and laundry services.
- Shuttle buses and transportation
- Exercise and wellness programs
- Other services you can expect to receive at an assisted living facility:
- Available staff available to meet needs
- 24-hour assistance with activities of daily living: Bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting
- Three meals a day and snacks between meals
- Housekeeping services
- Transportation as needed
- Pharmacy, barber, hair stylist, and/or physical therapy services offered on-site
Facility Differences between Assisted Living and Nursing Homes
When thinking about nursing homes, a person associates it with limited privacy like 2 beds to a room, nurses or aides roaming the halls and checking on residences while providing medical assistance. There are cafeterias and social areas where the residents eat and interact.
Although many assisted living facilities resemble nursing homes, many licensed assisted living residences are drastically different. They range from a converted house that looks more like a bed and breakfast to a huge campus with numerous apartments. Since each state sets regulations on assisted living licensing, there is a wide diversity of licensed assisted living residences.
The table below compares the services of a Nursing Home and an Assisted Living Facility:
Comparison of services offered in Assisted Living Facilities | Nursing Homes
Assisted Living | Nursing Homes
Minor Medical Supervision Yes | Yes
Extensive Medical Care No | Yes
Personal Care Assistance (bathing, dressing, etc.) Yes | Yes
24-hour supervision Yes | Yes
Security and Emergency Call Systems Yes | Yes
Housekeeping Services Yes | Yes
Social Activities Yes | Yes
Meals Yes | Yes
Resident's Freedom More | Independence More Restrictive
Transportation Yes | Yes
Most Resident's Health Average | Health Issues More Severe Health Problems
Private Pay In Many Cases | Medicaid Accepted
Please note the comparisons above are to illustrate the general differences between typical assisted living facilities and nursing homes. In many cases, assisted living facilities are on campuses or in the same building complex as nursing homes, so the types of services available vary. Since no nationwide standard exists that defines assisted living facilities, the range of services offered vary greatly too.

Written By: NM State Athletic Dept.
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - New Mexico State head women's basketball coach Mark Trakh released the Aggies' 2011-12 hoops schedule Wednesday that includes a dozen games against teams that played in postseason tournaments a year ago.
Trakh's squad is set to host 16 games at the Pan American Center for the second straight season - matching the third-most amount of home contests in the NM State record books. It marks the 13th season that the Crimson and White play host to 15 or more opponents in the regular season. In those previous 12 seasons, NM State averaged 20 wins per year.
The Aggies' upcoming non-conference ledger consists of nine home match-ups and six road contests. Prior to the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) schedule, NM State tips against four opponents with 2011 postseason appearances. The Aggies open the season at NCAA Tournament selection Houston (Nov. 11). NM State later hosts Women's National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) opponents Arizona (Nov. 21), and UC Santa Barbara (Dec. 19). The Aggies travel to Utah (Dec. 21), another NCAA Tourney squad, in its final road trip of 2011.
"I think one of the highlights of our schedule will be when we host Arizona on Nov. 21," said Trakh. "We hope to have a big crowd for that one along with our rivalry games."
Rivals UTEP and New Mexico are also on the Aggie docket for a pair of home-and-home contests. NM State hosts the Miners on Nov. 16 before traveling to El Paso at the end of the month on Nov. 29. The Aggies open and close December against the Lobos. NM State travels to UNM on Dec. 4 and completes the Rio Grande Rivalry on Dec. 30 at the Pan American Center.
New Mexico State will look for its fifth consecutive Aggie Hotel Encanto Thanksgiving Classic title on Nov. 25-26. North Dakota, Nicholls State and Southern Utah complete the lineup of the two-day holiday tournament.
Former WAC rival Boise State also shows up for a pair of contests on NM State's 29-game schedule in Boise on Dec. 11 and in Las Cruces Jan. 7. Idaho State visits the Mesilla Valley for the home opener (Nov. 14) to kick off a five-game home stand. The Crimson and White open 2012 against Shaw (Jan. 1) and at Missouri-Kansas City (Jan. 4).
"Our schedule is a challenging one," said Trakh. "We play a lot of teams that made the postseason last year. There are also a lot of opportunities for our fans to come out and support us with 16 home games. We're looking forward to the challenge."
Hired in early April, Trakh is the 10th head coach in NM State history and has nearly 30 years of head coaching experience, including 16 at the NCAA Division I level at both Southern California and Pepperdine. The new sideline general takes over an Aggie team that returns two starters from a squad that finished the season at 14-18 after a quarterfinal appearance in the 2011 WAC Tournament. Trakh and his staff added five commitments since his hire to complement a pair of 2011 fall signees to build an incoming freshman class of seven.
NM State opens WAC play with five of its first seven games at home in 2012. The Aggies battle 2011 WNIT participant Utah State at home on Jan. 12. Two days later, Idaho comes to town after a Women's Basketball Invitational appearance last season.
On Jan. 19, the Aggies make their first conference road trip to San Jose State before trekking to Hawai'i for a game on Jan. 21. WAC regular-season champion and NCAA participant Louisiana Tech invades Las Cruces to close out the month of play on Jan. 28
Defending WAC Tournament champion and NCAA qualifier Fresno State visits the Pan American Center on Feb. 2. WNIT participant Nevada completes the first half of the league schedule in Las Cruces on Feb. 4.
The Aggies host just two of their final seven conference games to finish the regular season slate, starting with road contests at Idaho (Feb. 9) and Utah State (Feb. 11). NM State begins senior week at home against Hawai'i (Feb. 16). The four Aggie seniors will be recognized in the home finale against San Jose State (Feb. 18).
NM State faces three tough road contests to complete the season beginning with a trip to LA Tech (Feb. 25). The team wraps up the regular season with contests at Nevada (Mar. 1) and Fresno State (Mar. 3).
The 2012 WAC Tournament will be held at a neutral site in Las Vegas for the second year in a row. The Orleans Arena will play host to both the men's and women's conference basketball tournaments March 7-10.
On Halloween, the Aggies will host New Mexico Highlands for an exhibition contest Oct. 31 in preparation for the opener at Houston on Nov. 11.

How Much Hair Do You Need?
Deciding how much hair you need can be a bit tricky. Typically there are two types of installations: A full and a partial. For a full head, you can refer to the below guide as to how many "bundles" or "packs" you need. If you are just looking for a partial to add a little length, then you can go with about half the recommended amount.
Always remember, it is better to have more hair than you need, especially if you are getting you hair done by a stylist. There is nothing worse than waiting for the appointment time, and then not having enough hair.

By Victoria Manax Rutson, MD, Special to Everyday Health
Pancreatic cancer is now the third-leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States, and it's anticipated to become the second-leading cause around 2020, according to a report prepared by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in August 2012.
The disease currently kills nearly 42,000 people per year — more than are killed by breast cancer — and has a five-year survival rate of just 8 percent.
When caught early, before it has spread, pancreatic cancer is treatable and has a five-year survival rate close to 25 percent. But most pancreatic cancers are not caught early, in part because there are no reliable screening tests, and in part because symptoms are often vague and not specific to pancreatic cancer.
Increased awareness of the risk factors for pancreatic cancer as well as the signs and symptoms may help to catch more cases earlier and reverse the trends we're now seeing.
Signs and Symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer
Early pancreatic cancer may cause no symptoms or only vague symptoms that could be caused by any number of other diseases. However, if you are experiencing one or more of the following symptoms, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network urges you to speak to your doctor immediately and mention your concern that your symptoms may be caused by pancreatic cancer:
- Pain (usually in the abdomen or back)
- Weight loss
- Itchy skin with jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Light-colored or greasy stools
- Pancreatitis (painful inflammation of the pancreas)
- Recent-onset diabetes
Risk Factors
The exact causes of pancreatic cancer are not well understood, but research studies have identified certain risk factors that may increase the likelihood that an individual will develop pancreatic cancer.
Family History If you have two or more first-degree relatives who have had pancreatic cancer or one first-degree relative who developed pancreatic cancer before the age of 50, your risk may be increased. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network strongly recommends consulting a genetic counselor to determine your risk and eligibility for a screening program.
Inherited Genetic Syndrome Some gene mutations associated with other cancers also increase the risk of pancreatic cancer. Examples include BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, Lynch syndrome, familial melanoma, hereditary pancreatitis, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, and ataxia telangiectasia.
Diabetes Pancreatic cancer is more likely to occur in people who have had type 2 diabetes for more than five years.
Pancreatitis People with chronic pancreatitis have an increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer. The risk of developing pancreatic cancer is even higher in individuals who have hereditary pancreatitis.
Smoking Smoking is a significant risk factor and may cause about 20 to 30 percent of all exocrine pancreatic cancer cases. (The exocrine portion of the pancreas makes the enzymes that help you digest food.)
Race and Ethnicity African-Americans and Ashkenazi Jews have a higher incidence of pancreatic cancer.
Age The likelihood of developing pancreatic cancer increases with age. Most people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer are over 60.
Gender Slightly more men than women are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Diet A diet high in red and processed meats may increase the risk of developing pancreatic cancer, while a diet high in fruits and vegetables may decrease the risk.
Obesity Obese people have a 20 percent increased risk of developing the disease compared to people of a normal weight.
Victoria Manax Rutson, MD, is the chief medical officer of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, which offers information and support to pancreatic cancer patients and caregivers. Call 877-2-PANCAN to speak to an associate, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Just discovered this: Morgan Spurlock's "What Would Jesus Buy?" Rock on. Because my lack of spending is a radical activist statement that in no way springs from my abject poverty.
I am such a fountain of holiday fucking cheer today. Can you stand it? The perky Daisy will rear her little lovebead-adorned self when I wake up in the morning and realize it's Sweet Potato Casserole Day. We do not believe in marshmallows; we use crushed walnuts and then we burn it a little and it is crispy, crusty heaven.
