Vest {Use code "REPLAUREN" for 10% off plus free shipping} // Jeans // Tee {old :: similar here} // Boots //
With t-minus 4 days to Christmas, everyone is dealing with the hustle and bustle of running holiday-related errands. Whether you're heading to the mall for last minute gifts (p.s. my puff keychain is the perfect stocking stuffer) or to the grocery store for Christmas meal-prep, you're going to need the right outfit. I'd recommend something that is both comfortable yet polished. It's inevitable that you'll bump into old friends and you're going to wish you hadn't worm sweats. The best way to achieve this look is by layering. A basic long sleeve tee with a quilted puffer vest offers the perfect combo. I'd also suggest a convertible purse. This new beauty from Kate Spade effortlessly transitions from structured handbag to crossbody.
I hope my look gives you some inspiration for braving the days ahead. Merry (almost) Christmas! Let me know what you think in the comments below.
Be sure to subscribe to have updates sent straight to your inbox. There will be a feature with Mr. Rudy, my dachshund, in a few days that you won't want to miss!
Happy Errand-Running,

Got allergies? Homeopathic remedy reduces histamine-induced inflammation
I'm usually on the fence about homeopathic remedies. I'd love to believe they work, but have yet to see the studies backing up their claims. Today however I found a study showing that a homeopathic remedy, Rhus Toxicodendron, "significantly reduces" carrageenan induced inflammation in rats. As I mentioned in another post, carrageenan (irish moss) is a seaweed derived food additive that is also frequently used in raw food desserts . 2016 update: sorry I should say that irish moss is used in raw foods, not carrageenan. Carrageenan is however found in many organic and natural foods as well as toothpaste.
The study authors note: "We found significant reductions compared to control in carrageenan-induced paw oedema, vascular permeability, writhing induced by intraperitoneal acetic acid and stress induced gastric lesions. Rhus tox in homeopathic dilution appears to interfere with inflammatory processes involving histamine, prostaglandins and other inflammatory mediators." But that doesn't mean upping the dose will get you more inflammation relief, on the contrary…"Administration of a single dose of Rhus tox 1h prior to injection of Carrageenan significantly reduced the paw inflammation in a dose dependent manner. Administration of multiple doses of Rhus tox increased the intensity of inflammation induced by Carrageenan, but this was not statistically significant. [1]
I'm curious as to why homeopathic remedies would use sugar pellets as a carrier? I'm not too excited about putting histamine raising sugar into my body.
Interestingly, Rhus is the latin name for sumac, the Middle Eastern herb I wrote about recently. Sumac, when added to foods, helps lower their tyramine content better than chemicals do. That's great news to me as I not only deal with high histamine caused by a low diamine oxidase level, I also struggle with low monoamine oxidase, which means that tyramine rich foods are also a problem. (2016 update: I now eat a histamine balanced diet rather than low histamine and no longer have trouble with tyramine foods). You can read the sumac post here.

It is a well known fact in the fashion world that women are particularly fond of italian shoes, but men need to be paying more attention to what is trending in shoes and their own feet too. There have been studies done on what men put on their feet, particularly one study done by Allen Edmonds. The study was conducted on 1000 women and men, and the results were astonishing. As it turns out, women judge men by what they put on their feet twice as much as men judge women. Also, well over half of the women polled judge a man's over all sense of fashion based on the shoes he wears. The other results of the survey were even more shocking. About 36% of women say that a man's shoes determine his financial position, 54% believe shoes reflect attention to detail and 52% will judge a man's personality based on the shoes that he wears.
Women are clearly judging men based on what they wear on their feet, and they are judging based on what is trending in men's shoes. There are some things a man can do to make a better impression though. It is recommended that men keep their toes covered. A lot of men take great care of their feet and even get pedicures, but a man's toes aren't considered the most attractive part of the body so keep them covered with fashionable loafers, sneakers or boat shoes. Just make sure that the sandals are left up except for around the house.
Women seem to be very fond of suede desert boots, and they have been for a few years now. Prince Harry is the man who seemed to kick off the fashion trend. Suede desert boots are much nicer than trainers, but they are also a little less formal so they can be a good friend in a man's shoe closet. Still, whatever kind of belt you're wearing, especially if it is showing, needs to have a matching color set of shoes to go with it. If there is a black leather belt, then make sure there are black leather shoes to go with it, and a preferred combo for women is the camel belt and camel shoe combo.. This may be an older rule, but it has stood the test of time despite the rules of fashion constantly changing.
If a man truly wants to have the very best and most fashionable footwear, then he should visit www.paulevansny.com for the shoe collection. This retail outlet is guaranteed to not only have the most updated fashion trends in shoes, but it also has the highest quality. Paul Evans shoe collection gives the most available options for high end footwear available in one place.

Scott and Allison attend the same prep school during the day. By all accounts they're pretty average kids. But when school ends and the sun sets over the Manhattan skyline, the two classmates shimmy into their brightly colored costumes and become sidekicks.
Scott is Bright Boy, the teenage ward of Phantom Justice, a dark and brooding superhero whose catch phrase is, "Through the darkness and the light, we'll defeat the wrongs and make them right." Allison is Monkeywrench, the daughter of Dr. Chaotic, a supervillain who is "quite possibly the most intelligent human on the planet." He's so smart he was able to escape from prison by building a laser gun out of a plank of wood, a battery pack, and an old television set.
Despite the long-running feud between Phantom Justice and Dr. Chaotic, the two sidekicks forge an unexpected friendship that quickly blossoms into romance. After they share their first kiss, Allison exclaims: "My God, we're like Romeo and Juliet! With superpowers!" Thankfully the two star-crossed superkids avoid the same fate as their Shakespearian proxies.
Superhero sidekicks are a fascinating bunch, but not many writers have been interested in exploring the boy wonder sub-culture. Dennis O'Neil gave it a shot back in the '70s when he turned Speedy into a heroin addict ("Speedy," get it?), and Rick Veitch produced a brutal comic book series called Brat Pack twenty years later exploring the perverse nature of teenage sidekicks.
Here, the author keeps things light (mostly). No one is shooting up heroin or experimenting with bondage. Instead, Scott and Allison are two likeable young kids who are growing up faster than a speeding bullet. Like all teenagers, they're struggling with parental issues, identity issues, and hormones. But unlike their friends, they're experiencing adolescence in ill-fitting superhero costumes. "I can't keep running around the city in embarrassing neon yellow tights," says Scott.
Thankfully the two sidekicks have each other to lean on. When things get crazy between Phantom Justice and Dr. Chaotic (and believe us, things get super-intense-crazy), Scott and Allison are able to team up and prove their courage and fortitude. Like Dick Grayson, they discover that they can't be sidekicks forever. At some point the apprentice must replace the mentor.

|- Knolik
agadir defined in 1939 yearagadir - Agadir;
agadir - Bay and port of Morocco, 23 m. S.E. of Cape Ghir. In 1910, as a counterpoise to the influence of France in Morocco, some German capitalists bought from the sultan concessions over a large part of the country. In July, 1911, the German government sent the gunboat Panther to Agadir, and her officers promised the Moroccan kaids the support of Germany in resisting the control of France. This nearly brought about a European war, but the two Powers came to an arrangement by which France was given a free hand in Morocco in return for the cession of about 100,000 sq. in. of land in the Congo basin.

This being my 300th movie review post, the number three has been on my mind of late. I have often referred to members of the triumvirate of Italian horror divinity, namely Mario Bava, Dario Argento, and last but not least Lucio Fulci, in some of my past reviews. They not only defined the slasher genre before Hollywood jumped on that bandwagon, but also resurrected the "giallo" style of murder mysteries. But their far reaching influence not only inspired others, but also fostered projects among themselves and their extended family of collaborators and relatives.
Demons, directed and co-written by Lamberto Bava – Mario's son and horror meister in his own right – and produced and also co-written by Dario is a cult favorite of the 80's salvo of European flavoured horror and appropriately begins with a young girl (Natasha Hovey) travelling within Berlin's marbled foyer subways. Believing she is being followed by a youth sporting a half-face mirror mask, he surprisingly hands Cheryl an invitation card to a free movie event that very evening for which she convinces her friend to accompany her.
The "Metropol" movie venue is an old gothic cathedral whose interiors have been converted into a quasi-museum with neo art sculptures and art pieces woven between the traditional movie posters. The clientele for the evening's movie is just as eclectic. A boisterous, pimpish dude with his two disco divas (one even sporting a 'Rick James' corn row braided coif), a teen couple more interested in making out that viewing anything that will appear on the screen, the blind and spectacled Verner with his lascivious looking wife Liz, Liz's maistre who is just as interested in making out with Liz as the teens, and two young boys who immediately take a shine to Cheryl and her friend.
As the night's film reel begins to be projected onto the theater screen 'this' film alternates its point of view from the cinema goers to being the film they are seeing themselves which is a horror movie featuring teens in a graveyard and tomb. As the teens discuss Nostradamus' foretelling of events and find a mask just like that worn by the ticket dispenser Cheryl encountered, the 'on screen' movie soon becomes a creature infested slaughter. At that same time one of 'real world' the disco divas is having a bit of a problem of her own in the bathroom and is soon screeching, fanged and oozing pulsating puss which is the beginning a infestation that will soon have the entire movie audience scrambling and avoiding one another as the malediction spreads.
Before long theater seats are flying, bodies are piling up and there seems to be endless chases within the stairways, hidden rooms and passageways. To spice things up a bunch of drugged up punks roaming the city also end up breaking into the Metropol in order to avoid some polizei hot on their tails after some late night hijinx.
The action comes to a crescendo with an in-theater, limb slashing, Samurai sword swirling motorcycle chase that would make The Great Escape's Steve McQueen proud. And that's before the helicopter drops in! If that does not categorize this as 'must watch' I don't know what will.
While not featuring Goblin music it does include some notable 80's heavyweight bands and songs while Claudio Simonetti's score hits elevates the energy. The masked ticket man was played by Michele Soavi who was assistant director and a frequent collaborator of Argento's. While Argento's daughter Asia later became a scream queen (debuting in Demons 2 no less), here his lesser known daughter Fiore has a small role.
Argento and Bava would reprise their production roles for the sequel Demons 2 a year later and while I have yet to track down that movie to assess it myself, based on the Demons 2 trailer on this disk I take it to be much of the same madness.

Gary Player
Gary Player Biography:
Player won tournaments in 27 consecutive years, and 163 tournaments total worldwide.
His first major championship win came at the 1959 Open Championship, and was the first non-American to win The Masters, in 1961. The PGA Championship followed in 1962, and when Player won the 1965 U.S. Open he became, at the time, only the third winner of the career grand slam. The last of Player's nine wins in majors came at the 1978 Masters.
Player won the South African Open 13 times; the Australian Open seven times; and the World Match Play Championship five times. He continued winning after joining the Champions Tour in 1985, including six senior majors.
As well as being one the world's most renowned golf course designers, he is a breeder of racehorses and has his own wine and apparel labels. Player was also a lifelong fitness buff and promoter of health and fitness initiatives, both inside and outside of golf.
Player served three times as International team captain in the Presidents Cup and was inducted into World Golf Hall of Fame as part of its first class in 1974.
Gary Player Design:
Since the early 1980s, Gary Player Design has been a global leader in golf course design. Through the years, Gary Player and Gary Player Design have executed a portfolio of nearly 400 projects in 38 countries on five continents.
"The design of a golf course is a far more sophisticated process than many people would ever imagine, as it requires not only an understanding of the game, but a great deal of vision and clever planning. To a large extent the topography of the land one works with will determine how the golf course is to be laid out, and in this regard it is always my objective to work as much as possible with the natural topography, environment and features of the site"

Over the years the whale sharks have learnt the habits of local fishermen who catch baitfish at night in nets lowered from fishing vessels known as "Bagans". The Whale Sharks are now regular visitors feeding on the baitfish that spill from the nets at the surface. Cenderawasih Bay is part of the Bird's Head seascape, the centre of marine biodiversity at the heart of the coral triangle.

6 May 2020 – Banda Neira, Maluku IslandsArrival 06/05/2020. Departure 06/05/2020.
From age-old traditional cultures and ancient vestiges, to coral reefs and lush green jungle… The attractions of the remote Banda archipelago seem endless. Better known as the legendary "Spice Islands" of the Ancient World, these small volcanic landmasses were the fabled prize of colonial powers for more than four centuries. Every colonial power of significance fought for control of these ten small islands that today have become largely forgotten. Walking the streets of Banda Neira is a surreal experience as your eyes are drawn to the eclectic mix of Portuguese, Dutch and British architecture, the remnants of a rich and tumultuous history. It is without doubt the most historically significant and interesting of all the "Spice Islands".

Tropical Expedition
Discover the unique concept of PONANT tropical expedition cruises: explore the world's extreme regions while enjoying luxurious comfort and service.
A luxury expedition voyage
Choosing a PONANT expedition cruise means choosing a state of mind: the alliance of elegance and authenticity, of exploration and comfort, of adventure and refinement… The comfort of your ship and your stateroom, personalised and attentive service, refined gastronomy: a very special atmosphere that we take great care to maintain. In the heart of the archipelagos of Oceania or the atolls of the Indian Ocean, along the wild coastlines of Central America or Australia, our luxurious services will ensure that your expedition cruise is an unforgettable experience.
PONANT, expedition cruise specialists
With almost 20 years of experience in the extreme regions, PONANT, the world's number 1 polar cruise company, is also a real specialist in the planet's most remote tropical regions. Our latest-generation fleet has the most modern technology to guarantee both your safety and respect for the regions visited. The size of our ships means we can get as close as possible to areas that are difficult to reach, offering a privileged access to preserved sites. Our flexibility enables us to adapt to the surprises inherent to these expedition itineraries.
Professional expedition teams, varied activities
After scouting missions in the field, our Expedition Leaders and their teams of naturalist guides design exceptional itineraries in the tropical regions. During the cruise, they organise daily outings and shore visits in Zodiac® dinghies so as to get as close to nature as possible. They can reserve local means of transport (dugout canoes, bush taxis, local buses, etc.) in order to reach essential sites for hiking (volcanoes, nature reserves, etc.) or for visiting isolated villages. Indeed, the close relationships that our teams have been able to build with the local communities will enable you to share the life and ancestral customs of these peoples for a few hours. The naturalist guides also supervise snorkelling tours to discover the coral reef fauna. On board, the naturalist guides will share their knowledge during various conferences on fauna, the history of the great explorations, geology and climatology…

Important information
Expedition programmes include activities such as Zodiac® outings and landings (sometimes with "wet landings"), moderate walks to more active hikes, all accompanied by your expedition team of naturalist guides.
Ports of call, visited sites, outings and landings will depend on weather conditions, winds and the state of the sea. These can force a change of plans at any time. The Captain and the Expedition Leader may at any time cancel or stop any activity, or even modify the itinerary. The final itinerary will be confirmed by the Captain, who will take into account the touristic quality of the sites and above all, the safety of the passengers. His decision will be based on advice from experts and authorities.
Travelling to isolated regions is an exhilarating experience. In remote areas, please remember that you are far from modern hospitals with full medical facilities, thus evacuation is extremely expensive. Without adequate medical coverage, all expenses will have to be immediately paid with your personal funds. We urge you to subscribe to full coverage insurance, choose your insurance company very carefully, be extremely vigilant and ensure your insurance is fully comprehensive, especially if you are insured by your credit card. PONANT offers an insurance contract with extensive guarantees, please contact us for more information.

World Weather Review: August 2017
The heatwave (nicknamed 'Lucifer' in Italy) continued to cause havoc in Europe with 11 countries being issued 'danger' warnings over soaring temperatures. Across Italy, Spain, Croatia, Hungary and Southern Europe temperatures were higher than 40°C which led to forest fires, droughts, evacuations and safety fears for the vulnerable.
On the 11th August 8 people, including two teenage girl scouts, died and more than 30 were injured as a result of falling trees in a series of severe storms that hit Poland. More than 170,000 people were left without power and 800 buildings were damaged in storms that hit mostly Poland's north and west.
On the 18th, severe thunderstorms tore through northwestern Austria. High winds toppled a large tent at a festival in St. Johann am Walde, killing two people and injuring dozens more.
At the end of August, 12 tornadoes were spotted over the Black Sea, narrowly missing a plane.
Mudslides killed at least 400 people in Sierra Leone, with 600 people still missing and 3,000 people homeless after part of Sugar Loaf mountain collapsed following heavy rain.
Typhoon Noru - the 5th named storm of the annual typhoon season, which formed in July - was the third-longest-lasting tropical cyclone of the Northwest Pacific Ocean on record (behind 1972's Rita and 1986's Wayne) and the most intense tropical cyclone worldwide in 2017. On August 5, Noru began to accelerate northeastwards towards central Japan, making landfall in Wakayama Prefecture and killing two people.
Across the south Asia more than 1,200 people are feared to have died and 40 million are estimated to have been affected by flooding in India, Nepal and Bangladesh. Click here for more information.
The above-average tornado season continued in the US, with 3 tornadoes around the Tulsa, Oklahoma, area injuring dozens in early August. An EF2 tornado triggered extensive damage around the area and was later followed by two EF1 tornadoes.
Hot and hazy conditions persisted in the northwestern United States into the second week of August, with temperatures 10°C above average in some places, sparking wildfires. Smoke from the fires sprawled across Canada and the Northwest. Seattle broke a six-decade-old record by having no rain for 52 straight days.
Tropical storm Franklin brought strong winds and rainfall to Mexico, reaching a category 1 hurricane status. Campeche, Mexico, received 159 mm of rain in a 24-hour period. Franklin was the first hurricane of the 2017 Atlantic season.
Hurricane Harvey bought "catastrophic" flooding to the US state of Texas at the end of August, in what could be the costliest storm in US history with damage estimated to be in the billions of dollars. Harvey deposited the heaviest total rainfall from any tropical cyclone in the continental US in records dating back to 1950, topping the 48 inch storm total in Medina, Texas, from Tropical Storm Amelia in 1978. Read more here >>
The Middle East had a brutal summer with some labelling it 'ungodly' as temperatures rose towards 51°C. In the Iraqi capital, every day but one has reached 48°C or higher in August. In Kuwait, where birds have reportedly dropped from the skies.
In China, Typhoon Hato killed at least 12 people, battering Hong Kong skyscrapers, flooding streets and forcing thousands to flee to shelters. Hato triggered Hong Kong's most severe typhoon 10 warning, only the third time a storm of such power has hit the financial hub in the past 20 years.
Tropical storm Pakhar then brought strong winds and heavy rain to Hong Kong and Macau, just four days after Hato, caused serious flooding and damage in the territories and killed at least 10 people.

I am a fully qualified Chartered Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years experience of working both in the NHS and Private sector. Prior to undergoing my training as a Clinical Psychologist in 2004, I had known for many years that I wanted to work professionally with people to support, encourage, develop and help them to overcome the wide range of mental pain and suffering that can result from adversity and the challenges of life. I approached this from the position that we are all human and susceptible to the emotional impact of life's challenges and difficulties. As such I developed a passion for reducing the stigma attached to mental health problems and in offering good quality evidence based interventions for people suffering with these difficulties so that suffering need not be in vain. I believe that Mental health difficulties needn't be the thing that stops you living your life, but with the right encouragement, understanding and support can be a hugely important developmental step that can lead to great personal growth.
I offer a non judgmental approach based on the core principal of acceptance and respect. I strongly believe each person has their own individual set of characteristics, personality and life experiences that make us uniquely and wonderfully who we are. I endeavor to encourage people to see their inner wisdom and qualities in the midst of what can sometimes seem like hopeless circumstances. I aim to build on your strengths whilst sitting along side you through your difficulties. I believe that there is always hope and that change is possible.
I am a fully qualified Clinical Psychologist Registered with the Health and Care Professions Council. I have a D.Clin.Psy. Prior to obtaining this I completed a BA in Psychology.
As a Clinical Psychologist I have had experience of undergoing training and working with a range of evidence based therapeutic approaches. These include, Psycho-dynamically informed therapy, CBT, Compassionate Focused Therapy, Mentalisation Based Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Mindfulness Therapy. For the majority of my career (past 8 years) I have worked with adults suffering with severe and complex emotional difficulties, specialising in trauma, emotional, physical and sexual abuse and personality disorders. I have worked within an attachment theory to help understand the difficult relationship dynamics that can result from early childhood trauma.
Prior to this I worked in a range of settings including a child and adolescent inpatient ward in London, and a supported housing service to support adults maintain good quality housing when suffering with metal health difficulties. I have spent 2 years working as a Clinical Psychologist in a CAMHS service, supporting children and families cope with a range of difficult experiences and overcome early onset mental health problems.
I ask people to contact me via the telephone number or email address provided. l offer a brief (15-20 minute) telephone consultation (no charge) to help determine whether your difficulties are best addressed through psychological intervention.
Further sessions will be charged at a cost agreed during the initial consultation. My fees vary according to factors including type of intervention, length of therapy and affordability.
I offer both short and long-term therapies that can range from symptom specific treatment and intervention to more in depth interpersonal therapies to explore more deeper underlying causes for distress. Although I am informed by the evidence based treatments as advocated in the NICE guidelines for treating mental health difficulties I conduct a thorough assessment in collaboration with you to consider your individual needs, opinion and views on what you want from the experience of therapy. I aim to develop a formulation of your difficulties that includes a combination of evidence and theory, my experience as a Clinical Psychologist as well your unique experiences and ideas about what you want.

Congo Natty provides the vibe with Tenor Fly, Nanci, Phoebe and Steppa Style in Moscow.
My favorite moments of this show:
1) Rebel comes on the stage, fires up the incense sticks and draws the Star of David, a Cross and a Circle in the air.
2) Some epic refix of his «Revolution» tune from the last album.
3) Rebel MC himself riding the microphone.

It was late summer 2009. Amidst the heat, dreams took flight.
It started with a phone call. Well it may have started a bit before, but that's when the message went out. It's time to bring Dance Marathon to CWRU. What inspired this action? It's simple, the sign to the right and an a capella concert at the University of Michigan in the spring of 2008 entitled the UMDM Charity Concert. But what's UMDM?

WHITTIER, CA. – The Pomona-Pitzer Baseball team completed the sweep over Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) opponent Whittier College with a 3-1 and 10-1 win on Sunday afternoon at Hugh B. Mendez Field.
Season Impact: With the wins, the Sagehens improve to 10-4 overall and 5-1 in conference play.
The Sagehens were led by Jeremiah Quezada who went 3-4 with two RBI's in the win.
Nicholas Radich got the start for the Sagehens in game one and turned out an amazing outing with eight innings and only gave up one run on five hits with five strikeouts. Hunter Hennigh came on in the ninth for the save and only gave up one hit in his only inning.
The Sagehens played from behind for nearly the entire game as the Poets got on the board first in the bottom of the first inning with an RBI single to take a 1-0 lead.
The Sagehens' offense was kept quiet until the seventh inning when Quezada singled in the tying run with an RBI to left field to tie the game. The Sagehens went on to take the lead in the eighth as Duncan Skerrett doubled to center field to bring in Hennigh and the Sagehens added an insurance run in the top of the ninth as Quezada brought in Brian Knapp on a sacrifice fly to extend the lead to 3-1 heading into the bottom of the ninth.
The Poets brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth but Hennigh shut down Whittier in the ninth to seal the win for the Sagehens in game one.
Game Two
The Sagehens were led by Seth Stone who went 3-4 with one run scored and an RBI. Jake Patterson-Kohout also tallied three hits with a 3-5 performance with two RBI's and a run scored in the win.
Tyler Yoshihara got the start on the mound in game two and went eight innings and only gave up one run on six hits with eight striekouts for the win.
The bats heated up for the Sagehens in game two as they came out and plated five runs in the third inning. Hennigh, Stone and Patterson-Kohout all notched RBI singles in the inning while Whittier walked in a run with the bases loaded to help give the Sagehens a 5-0 lead.
The Poets got one back in the bottom half of the inning with an RBI off of a ground out but Pomona-Pitzer added three more in the sixth off of a fielder's choice and an RBI double to left field by Hennigh to extend the lead to 8-1.
The Sagehen offense didn't stop there as they piled on in the ninth with two more runs after an RBI double by Rob Simsiman and Andrew Phillips brought in a runner on a ground ball to push the lead to 10-1.
Peyton Holm came in for an inning of relief work to end the game and had no problem shutting down the Poets in the ninth to complete the sweep for the Sagehens against the Poets on the year.
Up Next: The Sagehens will next take on non-conference opponent Rutgers-Newark on Friday, March 9th at 2:30 p.m.

Wild Light to shine at Ridgefield Playhouse
From opening for Wallflowers to awards events, indie rockers roll on
Indie rock band Wild Light has been compared to Arcade Fire. Why wouldn't they? One of the band's members used to be in that group and they frequently opened for them.
Still, that said, Wild Light has its own unique sound. Its debut album, "Adult Nights," dropped earlier this year (spawning the hit rock single "California on My Mind"), and the group has been touring ever since. Together since 2005, Wild Light consists of Tim Kyle and Seth Pitman on vocals; Jordan Alexander on guitar and Seth Kasper on drums.
On Sunday, the four-piece New Hampshire-based band will open for The Wallflowers at the Ridgefield Playhouse. I spoke with Pitman and asked him a little bit more about the band and its connection with The Wallflowers.
What's the experience been like opening The Wallflowers?
Great! They're very cool and they tell us their stories from over the years and teach us about gear, because we are pathetic in that department. It's been a lot of fun.
Do you guys demand they play "One Headlight" every night?
No, we pretty much let them do their thing.
What's the biggest surprise that's happened thus far as a band?
Hmmm "¦ I would have to say winning a Boston Music Award. It was a really hilarious evening. They held the event at some faux-ritzy club with all of these people who seemed to have only a tangential relationship to music, basically drinking and dancing.
And there we were, we didn't know anyone, had never heard of 75 percent of the bands, and were pretty sure no one knew us either.
They did the awards over a loudspeaker to like a Power-point presentation, and then all of a sudden our picture was up there under Best Rock Act of the Year.
Then Danny and Jordan from New Kids on the Block made an appearance, and I accosted them and hugged it out and was like, "Congrats, dude," and I'm not sure if they even won an award. Just another Sunday night in downtown Boston.
Nice. What's the oddest thing that's happened to you guys on the road?
We ran out of gas in the middle of Alberta -- serious
midwest Canada. We had to walk a few miles to the nearest town, which probably had a population of less than 1,000 people to ask for help. Everyone was actually really friendly and nice, but they were like a slightly different species from us. Then the girl who ran the only gas station invited us to her place to smoke weed, and we were like, "Where's your place?" and she pointed across the street. So we went.
Lastly, where did you get your band name?
Divine revelation.

House painting is now FINISHED!!! (except for the second coat on the feature walls which we'll do along the way)
WE received a lot of surprise reactions from people whenever we tell them. It's like they can't believe how fast we got through the painting without even taking any leave to do it. We can hardly believe it ourselves...
Anyway, I've decided to tell you about our little secret weapon...
Does it look impressive? Or just weird. It doesn't look like the conventional paintbrush set at all. Where's the brush? Where's the roller? Yaaa... I know... special right?
We came across this some time earlier this year when hubby and I were sauntering our way through one of those home expos at the convention centre. This guy was demonstrating how to use this paint kit... looked so interesting as I never saw anything like that before (actually I never painted before either, so it would all have been new to me anyway).
No drops. No spills. No mess.
Easy to use. Even a child can use it.
(Hey, than means I can use it too!)
And you only use HALF the amount of paint.
(Are you serious???)
We were one of those patrons that stood at his booth for quite a while asking many questions. And I even held the brush and tried it out myself to practice how to use it if we decided to get a set. The crowd around us accumulated and watched the demo curiously.
I am usually VERY VERY sceptical about buying this 'wonder miracle' products. But in this case, it really looked very credible.
Boy were we glad we got this little baby. Our painting project was hassle free and pretty smooth. Of course hubby did put in a lot of effort as he went down to the house for a couple of hours every day after work. But I think the work itself was not unpleasant. There was no need to mess around with those drop sheets and funny corners. We didn't need to lay newspapers and canvass sheets all over the rooms before we painted. And we were able to glide into all the funny angles and corners to get a neat finish.
I actually found the painting to be quite therapeutic as I slide the brush across the walls and see the paint glide on so evenly and smoothly in one clean sweep.
And you know what? That part about using half the amount of paint was absolutely TRUE. When we went to the paint shop to purchase our paint, they would review the house plan, measure it up and give a estimate on how many cans of paint we needed. So we decided to follow the claims of the person who promoted the paint brush set to us and told the person at the paint shop that we only wanted half the amount. We could always buy more later if we needed it anyway.
And really, it was so ngam lor. There were a couple of paint colours which we were not entirely sure and decided to buy a bit more, and we still have quite a bit left over... anyone up for making over their rooms in 'Lotus Blue' or 'Vitesse'?
The downside is that apparently this set is not available in retail. Don't know how true is that, but from the numerous trips we've made to Bunnings and various paint shops, I've never seen this type of paint kit for sale. Apparently must order directly from Melbourne, but that time they were having special promotion at the Home Expo, so we got it at a discount.
Why is it not sold in retail? Well the guy told us that because this is so different and new, people don't know what it is or how to use it. They need someone who is able to demonstrate it and teach them how to use it. Apparently they had tried to sell it through retail before, but it didn't do well because ordinary consumers never pick it up as they have no clue what it is. When they think of painting, they just assume using the usual paint brush and roller brush. So they gave up and focused on supplying it through niche channels such as expos, live demos and word of mouth.
Anyway, I must also give a special mention to ALVIN CHONG – one of our dear youth members who helped us one of the days with the painting. THANK YOU ALVIN!!!
And so, we will be packing up and moving into our new abode this weekend. Can't wait!

As the newest component of our ongoing efforts to combat the opioid epidemic, OptumRx Home Delivery, a dispensing pharmacy for UnitedHealthcare members, is introducing a new operational standard — the first of its kind in the home delivery market.
Starting July 1, 2018, OptumRx Home Delivery Pharmacy will limit dispensing of opioid prescriptions to a 30-day supply at one time for UnitedHealthcare commercial members:
- Members who currently receive more than a 30-day supply at home delivery will need a new prescription or authorized refill for up to a 30-day supply from their prescriber.
- In most states, prescribers can send an electronic prescription to the pharmacy to help ensure quick and continued access for members in need of chronic opioid therapy – with no disruption.
- The amount a member pays for their opioid medication through home delivery may change, with cost shares adjusted for a 30-day supply level.
- Proactive communication: On May 1, 2018, members previously prescribed greater than a 30- day supply of opioids were mailed notification letters to make them aware of this change. In April 2018, OptumRx also sent prescribers a communication to provide additional education on this new operational standard

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The Sacramento State men's soccer team traveled to Santa Clara Wednesday night to take on the Broncos in their second exhibition match of the preseason. After jumping out to an early lead, Santa Clara evened the match in the second half as the teams tied, 2-2.
The Hornets found the back of the net early as Oscar Govea scored the night's first goal in the fourth minute of the match. The freshman rebounded the ball after it was cleared by the Santa Clara goalkeeper and punched it into the lower corner for the score. Less than three minutes later, it was another freshman, this time Benji Kikanovic, who scored the game's second goal, sending one high and out of reach of the goalkeeper. Mac Harrington was credited with the assist on the play.
The rest of the first half passed quietly as neither team scored, despite eight more combined shots.
In the second half, Santa Clara cut the two-goal deficit in half in the 48th minute. The equalizer came with just 14 minutes to play in the 76th minute.
In total, the two squads combined for 18 shots, including eight shots on goal. It was also a very physical match between the two teams that included 34 total fouls and 10 cards.
The Hornets used 21 players in the preseason contest and nearly every player on the roster now has game action experience through two exhibition matches. Sacramento State still has one exhibition contest remaining as they host Sonoma State back in Sacramento on Saturday, August 18 at 5 p.m. PT.

Types of Truck Accidents
Every year, thousands of people are injured in truck accidents in the United States. Due to the discrepancy in size between large trucks such as tractor-trailers and passenger vehicles, accidents that involve trucks and passenger vehicles often result in serious and sometimes fatal injuries. There is a correlation between the type of truck accident that occurs and the injuries sustained in the crash. Truck accidents can be broken down into categories based on the minutes before and after a wreck.
If you or family member has been injured in any type of truck accident, you may be eligible for legal and financial recourse. Contact an Arizona truck accident attorney today to explore your legal options.
For additional information about truck accident lawsuits, fill out the Free Case Review form on this page.
Jackknife Accidents
When a semi-trailers drive axle brake locks up and causes the trailer to skid a jackknife accident occurs. The trailer stops after it forms a 90 degree angle with the tractor. The truck resembles a folding pocket knife during the accident, hence the name jackknife accident. The truck driver has no control of the vehicle when it jackknifes.
Truck Rollover
It is not uncommon for a jackknife truck accident to end up as a truck rollover crash. When a truck makes a turn too fast it can cause it to rollover. Commercial trucks tend to have a high center of gravity which makes them prone to rolling over.
Underride Accidents
Underride crashes are an extension of rear-end truck accidents, these crashes are the most dangerous type of truck accident to be involved in. An underride accident occurs when a passenger vehicle rear-ends a large truck and slides underneath the trucks body. Vehicle occupants that survive these crashes generally suffer severe head injuries.
Brake-Failure Accidents
Brake failure or a driver that uses improper braking technique can cause a rear-end accident. Commercial trucks take a greater distance to stop than the average car. The larger and heavier a truck is, the more distance it needs to come to a complete stop. When drivers of passenger vehicles fail to realize this, the risk of a rear-rend accident increases.
There are many factors that can contribute to brake failure including age improper installation or maintenance. Also, brakes can fail from stopping suddenly or overheating.
Squeeze Play and Wide Turn Accidents
The term squeeze play or swinging turn is used to describe a type of crash that happens when a truck driver needs to make turn. When a tractor-trailer, also referred to as an 18-wheeler or a semi-trailer, needs to make a right turn, the truck will swing left to negotiate the turn, increasing the risk of an accident occurring. When a tractor-trailer swings left, it can squeeze a car between the curb and the truck, if the driver does not see the cars next to them. In addition, vehicles that are trying to pass on the right or that are driving on the right-hand side in the trucks blind spot are susceptible to getting hit when the truck driver swings to make the turn.
No-Zone Collisions
Commercial trucks have larger blind spots than the average passenger vehicle. Blinds spots are also commonly referred to as the no-zone. As rule of thumb, if you cannot see the trucks mirrors than the truck driver cannot see you. Drivers should avoid driving in the no zone as much as possible. Driving in trucks blind spot increases your risk of being in a collision.

Social Science (B.S.)
A Social Science degree from Southwestern is the lesser-known brother of the History degree. With concentrations in political science, economics and geography, as well as history, graduates with Social Science degrees can do everything those with History degrees can do—and more. Those multiple concentrations make Social Science degree holders especially attractive to a small school. Plus, a Social Science degree is the preferred degree for students wanting to go on to law school.

For the longest time, at least starting in college, I didn't see much point in celebrating birthdays. All it says is that, through very little effort of my own, I was able to not die for another year. In fact one year I forgot altogether it was my birthday until my mom called me.
Well, for Nate each year means something. We came so close to losing him on several occasions and each passing year is not only a celebration of Nate's continued existence on Earth but of our gratefulness for what he brings to us each day.
And Nate's birthday couldn't have come at a better time. Annie and I have been completely ignoring him as we've tried to get everything moved into or new apartment so it was a good excuse to stop everything and spend the day with Nate.
This meant doing whatever Nate wanted and what he wanted was the Children's Discovery Museum. Nate had a lot of fun and was able to participate in a lot of the activities.
He did the bubble pull and was able to hoist the sheet of bubble out all by himself. Of course by the time I thought to film it has was pretty well spent but I was pretty impressed with his ability to pull up the thing hand-over-hand.
And boy did Nate love Waterworld, and by that I DO mean the great Kevin Costner classic. On a more related note, Nate loved the waterworld area of the CDM. He got pretty good at throwing balls into the whirlpools.
We ended the night with Transformer cupcakes and some presents. Nate's ability to pull levers, throw balls and crank wheels were not the only feats of strength performed that day, he was even able to blow the fire on his candles. He couldn't blow them out but he definitely made the flames move.
All said and done, it was a great success and probably his best birthday. If you asked Nate what his favorite part was he would probably tell you the hollowed out Fire Truck at the museum....or the hollowed out ambulance.....or the bones of a Mammoth......or being sung to at Tiny Tots....it was hard for him to choose and it changed moment to moment.
I'd say that's a good B-day.

Now then, let's clarify some straight away. Autocue is a brand name.
Ok, that said, what is a teleprompter? Well, it's an autocue 🙂
Basically, if you want your presenters/students to be able to read their script directly into camera without having to memorise it (and trust me, they never will memorise it) then you need a teleprompter.
The problem is that a professional version costs in the region of £3000. They work really well at that price but there is a cheaper option. I've gone through a number of home-made iterations.
Firstly, placing a monitor just below the camera, connecting a laptop to it and running MS Word is actually quite effective, although the presenter's view can start to drop down.
Using a piece of perspex in front of the camera can work too. You need to cover the camera with a dark material so that the reflection is maximised for the presenter. The problem with this method is that the words are reversed in the reflection. We spent quite a while with a periscope arrangement, bouncing the image of the monitor off a mirror before reflecting it again in the perspex.
This arrangement was very heavy and a little bit scary when using it with the taller teachers. It becomes much safer to actually mount the monitor on top of the tripod. Our CDT technician knocked this up for me:
And I sat down and wrote my software, ASprompt
I'm incredibly proud of this software, having built it from scratch to meet my needs. Programmed in Flash, you can type directly into the white box or paste from any text editor (well, better say most). It has speed controls, countdowns, headings and mirror options.
At one point, I almost got a version working that automatically played videos on another PC, but I really need to learn how to use Adobe Air to make that work.
Because of the amount of work I put into it, I initially asked for £10 per copy, however, I know how schools and budgets are, so contact me here and I'll sort something out.

Novi MI Dentist on Flossing Technique
Do you floss daily? Better yet- did you know you should be flossing daily?
50% of the patients of your Novi MI dentist, and people worldwide, may know that they should floss daily- but say that they "rarely" or "never" do. We hope you don't fall into this 50%.
Instead, we hope that you fall into the other half of the statistic- that you are in the 50% that DO floss daily. For even though flossing is often seen as the more "difficult" or "time-consuming" activity compared to brushing, committing to it once daily will save you from facing a lot of other more difficult to treat, time and money consuming oral health issues in the long run.
Instances of tooth decay, gum diseases, tooth loss, structural damage, heart disease and more have all been tied to a lack of flossing throughout the years, and more correlations are being made daily.
Even if you do happen to pull that waxy string between your teeth on a daily basis, making sure you do it properly is important as well. And while you can always ask your Novi MI dentist for a demonstration on proper flossing technique and timing, we thought today we would provide you with a list of some ADA (American Dental Association) approved facts to help you realize if you are Flossing Properly.
For more information on the benefits of flossing properly daily, or to schedule an appointment with your Novi MI dentist- call our office today at (248) 624-2701.

Jay Leno is Better at YouTube Than You Thought
When it comes to cars, where are the home grown YouTube stars?
Interestingly, according to the Web video analytics firm OpenSlate, most of the top YouTube content producers in the autos category have ties to traditional media. One of the more surprising entrants: Jay Leno, who just retired from his vaunted gig hosting The Tonight Show on NBC in part to make way for his much more Web-savvy successor Jimmy Fallon--or so the story goes.
The Leno's Garage YouTube channel boasts of over 900,000 subscribers and generates over 5 million views a month, landing it in fifth place on OpenSlate's most recent ranking of the category.
Leno posts a weekly series to the channel featuring him taking souped-up cars out for test runs and restoring classics. Some episodes exceed 1 million views.
At the top of the OpenSlate autos category is TopGear, a long-running, hugely popular BBC series focused on cars, travel and cool technology (Mr. Leno is actually a fan of the series). TopGear's YouTube channel has over 3.7 million subscribers.
Meanwhile, MotorTrend is another traditional brand on this list--it's the second biggest auto-themed YouTube channel, at least based on OpenSlate's ranking of consistent audience, engagement and influence on the platform. In fourth place is Drive, which is one of the original YouTube funded channels.
It seems that as big as cars are in global culture, the subject matter hasn't created YouTube native stars like in the beauty category. The closest match to that phenomenon may be Shmee150, a UK-based channel focused on "supercars." Shmee150 does generate over five million views a month, but claims only a few hundred thousand subscribers.
Check out the autos ranking here:
Note: The YouTube analytics firm OpenSlate collects and crunches data on thousands of channels. The firm bases its ranking on the number of views creators generate on YouTube, how consistently they deliver an audience, how often people share and comment on these videos. The company rolls all that data up into a "SlateScore" while also ranking each channel on a scale of one to 10 for Engagement, Consistency and Influence.
