"Ben Lancaster had just tattooed himself onto my soul and the thing about tattoos? They're painful to remove."--Georgia King.
Georgia King is trying to survive after spiraling into a darkness that nearly took her life. In therapy and with her college dreams on hold,she's trying to get healthy. Trying to still the craziness inside her. She has no room for someone like Ben Lancaster,and if he was smart he'd stay away. Because everyone knows Georgia is bad news. Everyone knows she ruins people. And if Ben isn't careful, he'll be next in line.
Ben Lancaster is a young, hot shot hockey player on his way to the top. Newly signed to the Philadelphia Flyers, he's living the dream. The girls. The money. The fame. He thought he had everything he wanted until he met her. Suddenly he wants more--he wants her. He'll do whatever it takes to get her and Ben Lancaster always gets what he wants.
But the girl who's different from anyone he's ever known is hiding secrets. And as the dog days of summer pass, only time will tell if Georgia's secrets can be healed. Or if her bruised soul is strong enough to resist Ben Lancaster...
Julie Bale aka Juliana Stone, I don't know what it is about you and your stories that leaves me speechless! Just like when I read and reviewed The Summer He Came Home, I went through several drafts before I was able to finally write one decent enough to pass off as a review. I'm so lost for words this review post has been sitting in our drafts folder for a couple of days now.
She was damaged and broken and there wasn't any kind of glue in the world that could fix her.
When I started reading THE STILLNESS OF YOU, I thought the series can be read as a stand-alone with guaranteed HEA in the end typical of most contemporary reads. Well I was so very wrong. JBale took me for a wild spin as Beautifully Damaged book 1 is as real as it can get without being overly dramatic and tragic.
Let me explain a little bit.
I didn't want to go back to where I'd been before. To the girl who was way too free and easy with her charms.
Georgia King is your typical privileged, beautiful and rich young woman with too much money and too much time in her hands. Running away from ghosts, Georgia medicates herself with sex, drugs and alcohol to numb her pain and chase her demons away. Georgia has been to too many parties and slept with too many men and women she's definitely scarred at the young age of twenty. I kept Georgia at arm's length because I'm really not fond of the poor-little-rich-me act some of these heroines are infamous for. But Georgia slowly grew on me, she's in that place where she acknowledges that she has a problem, she's taken steps to solve it and is making a conscious effort to steer her life in the right direction with a few minor hiccups along the way.
Throughout the novel, we see how Georgia Struggled with a capital S. It's hard to adapt an outside-looking-in mind-set when one is balls-deep in a situation but I have to give Georgia props for trying. But temptation waits in Ben Lancaster, handsome, young, a famous athlete and off-limits to Georgia but our heroine is weak and it didn't take long for Ben to break Georgia's resolve.
Ben Lancaster walked into my life with no warning, just after three o'clock on a sunny afternoon.
Ben Lancaster is a good guy, I might be wrong but from the events in THE STILLNESS OF YOU, he's not damaged, tortured or even a bad boy. Aside from having the looks, the skills and the brains, Ben is pretty normal. I love how he's so patient with Georgia, very generous with his time and heart until Georgia felt good enough to trust and share herself with him. But typical of Georgia, she has to railroad their relationship, overthink things, let her trust issues prevail, and throw Ben to the dogs so to speak, leaving him heartbroken and in pieces while she selfishly takes time to reassess herself. In Ben's behalf, I was so miffed at Georgia during the conflict because Ben didn't really give her any reason to doubt him as far as accepting her past is concerned. If any, he's been tolerant and even understanding of her so I can't help but mutter Drama Queen when their misunderstanding was happening and Georgia was dragging it out, blowing things out of proportion.
Inasmuch as I'm not a big fan of Georgia now, I still am rooting for her and Ben. Georgia needs someone like him to ground and show her that she's worthy of love and that normal isn't as difficult as she thought. Their relationship is one of my favorite new adult romance because it felt gradual as JBale brilliantly highlighted the emotions running between Georgia and Ben and really explored Georgia's psyche, stressing that this girl has complicated but not hopeless issues. Damaged but beautiful still.
The ending. The frickin' ending of THE STILLNESS IN YOU killed me! Its the reason why it took me so long to write up this review! Nevertheless, it helped me appreciate Georgia a little more and frankly I was impressed. She demonstrated strength in her decision and even if I want instant gratification in getting an HEA, I love that JBale took the real route and made Georgia more human and the situation natural by allowing Georgia to room for rediscovery and self-love instead of giving that task to Ben. I found that brave and mature and I'd like to think that Georgia is starting to finally let go of her demons and move on with her life.
I can't wait for book two, The Chaos In Me (coming this Summer as per her website). I'm hoping that Ben will stay true and that Georgia won't make it difficult for him to hold on. However, I don't want to expect too much from this crazy chick, Georgia has her weak moments and she tends to lean towards the idiotic when she's put on the defense. Still, I love a good twist in the story and I have a feeling JBale will bring it!
I'm ready.
Julie Bale fell in love with book boyfriends when she was twelve. She decided that when she was a grownup she would write her own book boyfriends. So that's what she does.
When Julie isn't writing she's busy looking after a family that includes a couple of kids, her husband and a dog who is prettier than some people she knows, and a cat who thinks he's human.
She loves The Walking Dead, Pretty Little Liars, The Foo Fighters, Vampire Diaries, The Fray, and The Gilmore Girls. And when she has time, she loves to kick back and read yummy romances with hot guys and girls who are cool enough to hang out with.Fan Girls & Boys Invited
"Do you feel this?" he whispered hoarsely. "You have to feel this. It can't just be me. There's no fucking way it can just be me."
My mouth was open but nothing came out. I felt all of it. Every. Single. Bit of it.
And then his hand slid behind my neck, cradling me just above my shoulders, his long fingers moving over my body with a hunger and an urgency that I matched. I might have moaned, in fact, I'm sure I did because his eyes widened, and his lips parted.
I felt…I felt crazy but without the crazy.
It was the anticipation. It was all the moments and seconds and minutes that had passed between us over the last few days. It was that first time I'd glanced over my shoulder and spied him in Matt's loft. It was his breath at my cheek the night before. It was want.
It was all of that and so much more.
"I feel you," I whispered.
And then his hot, demanding mouth was on mine, and that so much more, became suddenly clear.
It was everything.

Yesterday I talked about how the Kingdom of God shapes the way we view our work. Viewing our work through the lens of the KoG changes things. We quit jobs. We stay in jobs. We speak up. We quiet down.
Today I want to talk about how work and money relate to one another, and why that matters to our souls.
First, a story.
I've spent a good part of my young adult life working hard for little pay. I worked in college ministry. I worked as a stay-at-home-mom. I worked as a blogger. Some of these jobs I did for free, others for somewhere around minimum wage. I would (and still do) often say that it's not about the money. It's about creating and caring and loving; the reward is the opportunity to share with others.
At the same time, I've become more and more convinced that people who work should be paid more. Artists. Fast food workers. Bloggers. Caregivers.
I love how, in some countries, men and women are paid to be home with their kids for the first year or two of the child's life.
I love how some communities really value art and pay and celebrate their local artists well.
I love how women are beginning to create Etsy shops to sell the beautiful things they are making to others.
I love how bloggers and writers are beginning to rethink what it means to be a writer and thought leader, and asking for payment for their craft.
I recently finished a book called the Money Making Mom, by Crystal Paine (founder of www.moneysavingmom.com), which is about encouraging, empowering, and equipping women to find ways to make money doing what they're good at. She helps women see how they can still be at home, still care for their families, while also making some money to get out of debt, put food on the table, and save for an upcoming project or expense.
Along with receiving to help our families, we're also called to give generously to others. In her book, Crystal dedicates a whole chapter, plus parts of others to the idea that we have the joy and responsibility of giving generously to those around us. She shares some of the cool projects her family has been able to invest in, as well as stories of others women from all walks and seasons of life like single moms barely scraping by, but still reaching out and caring for orphans in their community.
So while payment doesn't equate value of our jobs (I think the kingdom value is inherit in most jobs), payment helps families survive. It decreases marital and familial stress. It helps kids in school. Eventually (if paid enough and the person isn't driven to work more and more for the unsatiable bigger and better monster), it frees up people's time to be more invested in their families, their communities, and their churches. It helps people and families flourish, which affects all of our souls.

DENVER -- Two veterans of the Denver County Sheriff's Department have been placed on leave after an incident with a detainee, a department spokesperson confirmed Wednesday.
Though the details were vague, the sheriff's office issued a press release Wednesday afternoon, saying Deputy Sheriff Thomas Ford, who has been with the department six and a half years, was placed on investigative leave with pay for "inappropriate use of force."
"The incident occurred the evening of July 13, during the book-in process of a detainee," the press release indicated. "Sheriff Gary Wilson has requested an investigation of criminal charges against the officer, which will be decided by the Denver District Attorney's Office."
Officer William Lewis, who has been with the department for 12 years, was also placed on investigative leave with pay for "writing an inaccurate reported related to the inappropriate force incident," the press release indicated.
The sheriff's office did not disclose the identity of the involved detainee in an apparent effort "to preserve the integrity of the criminal and administrative investigation," according to the press release.
FOX31 Denver reached out to the sheriff's office Wednesday afternoon, asking if there is any video of the incident. A spokesperson indicated there may be video of the incident, but that it would not be released Wednesday.
FOX31 Denver's Julie Hayden has confirmed that Ford was also involved in a 2011 videotaped incident involving excessive force used on another inmate, Jamal Hunter.
The incident led to an internal affairs investigation by the sheriff's office, the suspension of two officers and a lawsuit filed by Hunter.
Ford was apparently part of a group of five officers seen banding together in an effort to subdue Hunter, who was on the ground before three of the officers arrived in the cell.
One deputy, Edward Keller, received a 30-day suspension for his involvement in the incident, which "involved a demonstrable, serious risk to the inmate" according to the internal affairs report. Keller is also named in Hunter's civil suit.
Ford was not disciplined for his participation in the 2011 incident, nor was he named in Hunter's lawsuit.AlertMe

Authentic can become a product, rather than a way of being.
Some thoughts:
—Authentic is not the same as being spontaneous or very informally real.
Being real is not necessarily authentic
—None of us are authentic all the time. Lots of what we do is rehearsed and that's a good thing.
—Authenticity does carry power with it.
—Being authentic is often triggered by an important moment
—It goes beyond knowing yourself. It involves knowing the moment and the context or what's needed and
aligning the world with your inner self.
—It is not a method to encourage followership (as in your people like humor, tell a joke)
—It is not marketing yourself to the company. It is not about image even though many books talk as if it is.
Here is the definition of authentic: l. "An emotionally appropropriate, significant, purposive and responsible mode of living" 2. "Undisputed original–not a copy" 3. "accurate and reliable"
In authenticity, there is a demand for principle that is important (significant) and it is an on purpose stance in the world. There is something unique and original to the authentic leader. The leader is not copying nor can she be copied. There is a quality of holding steady and true, reliable, a ringing true day after day after day. There is powerful coherence in what an authentic leader feels, says ,does, and stands for.
The power comes from the awareness and work of the leader. You can smell it in others and feel it in yourself. You dig deep and get aligned internally. You feel the moment when you are poised to "have it all together" and you step forward with the courage of your truth that has been distilled. At that moment, there is a power and an energy like the vibration of a note perfectly hit. A resonance goes through your organization that

Akhou Nora STC
Descripción General
2018 was a transformational year for women in Saudi – in a country where women had faced restrictions from voting, the ability to work in certain sectors to even entering football stadiums-this all changed. The decree allowing women to drive also came into effect in June.Women had had little representation beyond the family and the kitchen, and with these new changes taking place brands now had an opportunity to help Saudi women navigate them. However much of the representation or endorsement to follow particularly on driving was a case of everyone jumping on a media bandwagon- in short largely cosmetic.
STC wanted to lead the change in mindset, in a country where the decision to allow women to drive had divided the nation. So with this campaign we turned to the past and Saudi's history - there is a Saudi Arabia today because of a woman, Princess Nora, the woman who drove her brother to lay the foundations of the kingdom. In doing so, not only did we demonstrate that women have always had a role but that It's not by celebrating women being allowed to drive that you promote female empowerment but it's by acknowledging their historic right to drive the country forward.

Underwater Thanksgiving? Invite the mermaids!
One thought on "Happy Thanksgiving"
Hands down, this has got to be one of the more bizarre holiday themed photos I have ever seen! As is usually the case, I was checking out the photo before I even bothered to read the subtitle explaining that this was an underwater shot. So I am sitting here thinking – "what in the world is happening with this woman in this picture?" My first thought was that she was so excited to be cutting into this turkey that she was doing some type of half skip/jump when the picture was taken! Of course, that's when I finally decide to check out the subtitle and everything became clear. Anyways, hope you guys had a great thanksgiving and happy holidays!

Decision Analysis: Should Bill Goodman invest in a start up company?
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
Bill Goodman has been offered the opportunity to invest $15,000 in a start-up company that intends to supply personal digital assistants (PDAs) to physicians in order to enable them to determine the approved medication for each HMO patient they treat. The business plan for this start-up calls for raising a total of between $10 million and $40 million in financing and then taking the company public.
To be successful in raising these funds, the firm must first be able to hire a respected professional in the medical industry to be the firm's CEO. Bill believes that there is a 80% chance of the firm accomplishing this requirement. Following the hiring of the CEO, the firm will also need to get backing from at least two of the leading four HMOs. Bill believes that there is a 30% chance that each of the leading four HMOs will want to be involved in this project. He also believes that the HMOs make their decisions independently.
If two HMOs sign on to the project, Bill believes the firm can raise $10 million. He also believes that the firm can raise an additional $5 million for each additional HMO that signs on to the project. Once the HMOs have signed on, the firm must then recruit physicians to adopt the system. If fewer than 5000 physicians agree to sign on to test the system, the project will fail. Bill believes that there is only a 35% chance that the firm will be able to recruit 5000 or more physicians. Finally, if the firm is successful in getting HMO and physician support, it will try to get two major drug chains to each invest $10 million. The likelihood of one drug chain investing is 30%, and the likelihood of two drug chains investing is 10%.
If the project fails to hire a CEO, recruit at least two HMOs, recruit at least 5000 physicians, or to raise at least $10 million, Bill feels he will lose his entire investment. Bill estimates the following profits on his investment if the firm is successful in raising the required funds.
Amount Firm Raises Bill's profit
(in $millions)
10 $60,000
15 $100,000
20 $130,000
25 $180,000
30 $250,000
35 $350,000
40 $500,000
On the basis of this data, determine whether Bill should invest the $15,000, using the expected monetary value as the decision criterion. Show your analysis to support your conclusion.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com October 9, 2019, 5:12 pm ad1c9bdddf
Solution Summary
The solution discloses all the formulas and calculations to arrive at a response to the question of whether Bill should invest $15,000.

LinEnum will automate many of the checks that I've documented in the Local Linux Enumeration & Privilege Escalation Cheatsheet. It's a very basic shell script that performs over 65 checks, getting anything from kernel information to locating possible escalation points such as potentially useful SUID/GUID files and Sudo/rhost mis-configurations and more.
An additional 'extra' feature is that the script will also use a provided keyword to search through *.conf and *.log files. Any matches will be displayed along with the full file path and line number on which the keyword was identified.
After the scan has completed (please be aware that it make take some time) you'll be presented with (possibly quite extensive) output, to which any key findings will be highlighted in yellow with everything else documented under the relevant headings.
Example output is shown in the following screenshot:
I'm afraid from hereon in it's a manual task to check over the results.

- Locate mail
Some of the above commands are privileged/and or the related task may be nonexistent and will therefore most likely fail. The user shouldn't be alerted to failed results, just the output from successful commands should be displayed.
To date I've tested LinEnum on Ubuntu, Debian, Redhat and CentOS. If you feel that there are some additional checks that you'd like to see added to the script and/or you find any bugs etc. please post within the below comments section (or feel free to contribute towards the project).
Please note that I realise that my scripting ability is limited and there may well be better/easier/quicker ways of performing some of the tasks. However, all that said, hopefully you'll find this a useful tool.
LinEnum can be downloaded from Github
Finally, I'd like to say thanks to @pentestmonkey for his inspirational unix-privesc-check tool that I'll continue to use on a very regular basis!

3 Girl Fun in the Playroom
Submitted by Aleksei
850 days ago
I was at Klub Kink in Dudley and I had sneaked into the Orgy room to watch and film all the action, there were 3 Hot Mature Girls on the Giant bed and they were getting more than acquainted and were oblivious to all the guys watching and were putting on quite a show, fingering and licking their juicy pussies. Before getting serious with each girl producing a vibrator and getting to work on the girl nearest to them in a daisy chain sort of configuration and soon each girl had a vibe sliding between her pussy lips and they all soon reached an explosive climax.

The Solution for the Shaky Hands
Some say that hands will look charming when it is as it looks, comes naturally. On the other hand, some others also say that there will be fashionable women when all of the body is also dressed fashionably, it means that nails should be dressed nicely. Some women definitely agree with this opinion. However, another problem is there are some women who have problems with their hands, especially shaky hands. A shaky hand is the hand problem that one or both of the hands cannot keep still. It will make the woman cannot get creative with their nails. It is hard work. Bu then, the nail art sticker can be the solution.
The solution does not solely come up but there have been such experiments about getting creative with their nails. Some experiments that have been done are trying the fake nails and delicate nail art. Those experiments are extremely failed. Then, the nail art sticker comes up as the perfect solution.
To attempt this nail art sticker, actually, is much easier than the other nail art types. It will need no such a good skill to apply the nail art. The user can easily dress it to their nail by herself. However, there are some lacks of using nail art sticker. Those are the filing away the excess sticker and making the sticker the same with the nail bed. Nevertheless, the excess sticker can be overcome with the mini nail file. Making the same width between the sticker and the application on the nail is different action. Therefore, the more careful user using the nail art, the more beautiful user looks.

What is the yellow mark on the tire's sidewall?
This week's tire tip: What is the yellow mark on the tire's sidewall?
The yellow mark can be found on most new tires. This indicates the lightest point of the tire. The tire valve, which in turn is the heaviest part of the wheel assembly, should be aligned with this mark to serve as a counterweight for the tire.
Keep this in mind the next time you change your tire. It might just save you a few pesos on wheel weights since not all tire technicians know or practice this.

Why, Shepherd's Pie, of course!
Shepherd's Pie, as many of you know, is one of those fabulous British/Irish inventions that turns otherwise humdrum things into a comforting, convenient one-dish meal. Meat & veggies are topped with a mashed potato "crust", baked until bubbly, et voila! Dinner is served! Though most Shepherd's Pies are typically made with ground beef or lamb (the latter of which I MUST try someday!), I find that using leftover turkey is a perfect substitute, making the most of that extra meat and keeping things just a little bit leaner. Instead of the usual plain peas (because frankly, I ate all my sweet, buttery Thanksgiving peas long ago), I used some frozen mixed vegetables for color & flavor, further amping up the veggie factor with some onions & crisp celery. With just a touch of my remaining turkey gravy and some herbs thrown in for good measure, this mashed potato-topped pie is good to go. Admittedly, it's not the most attractive dish once served, but it's quick, easy, tasty and, because you're using those leftovers rather than buying more ingredients, CHEAP!!!
Affordable comfort food. What could be more comforting?
Turkey Shepherd's Pie (makes 4-6 servings; total cost per serving: $1 - or practically free, depending on how you look at leftovers!)
2 c leftover turkey, shredded
2 c frozen mixed veggies, thawed
1/2 c diced onion
1 c chopped celery
1/2 c leftover turkey gravy
1/2 t dried thyme
Salt & pepper to taste (optional)
1 1/2 c leftover mashed potatoes
Preheat oven to 400°. Combine the turkey, onion, celery and mixed veggies in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until just heated through. Add the gravy, thyme and salt & pepper (if needed) and stir well to coat all the ingredients. Remove from heat and carefully transfer the mixture into a 9" x 9" baking dish or casserole. Spoon the mashed potatoes on top (zap them in the microwave first if you just took them out of the fridge), and smooth into an even layer using the back of the spoon.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the potatoes are a light golden brown. Allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Pair with a nice salad and enjoy!

Wilhelm Alexander Kelders
I started in 1997 together with my dog Jacky, my first introduction to Agility. My Agility-instructor encouraged me to do competitions, so after my first competition I had the Agility virus! In 2002, I qualified for the world championships with Hacky and we got third place. We also qualified for the AWC in 2004 and 2005 but we could not match the results from 2002.
At the moment I compete with my border collie Alina and in 2015 I also started to compete with my sheltie Figo.
Since 2008 I am an official FCI judge for agility and has already judged in more than 10 countries.
Simon Noel
Hello my name is Simon Noel and I live just outside of Bergen, in the west coast of Norway, with my fiancée and my children and of course our five family dogs.
I started with agility in 1999 and sins then I have trained and competed with dogs in large, medium and small. At the moment I am training and competing with my 5 year old Berger des Pyrenees. I have been judging sins 2013 and I am approved as a FCI international judge.
As a competitor and judge I love courses that are technical and with flow, and at the same time motivates dogs and handlers to want to do better and faster runs 😉

One of the most impressive features of the Apple Watch is Workout. Not only that you can leave your iPhone on the desk and go with the Watch itself without relying on any iOS apps, you can sync a workout music playlist to the Watch, pair it with your Bluetooth headset to AirPlay the music to it along your run. Since you have already spent quite a bit on getting the Apple Watch, you may just want to spend a bit less on the accessories. Especially sweat-proof earbuds that are usually not as reliable as they claim to be so you may consider investing less on it.
Cootree® QCY Wireless Earbuds, not a brand new product but has 4-star average rating on Amazon and costs less than $24, should be a good deal and quick fix for such need.
As expected, at this price point, the earbuds come with no surprise with the packaging. It is extremely simple and minimal. Certainly, that's not something we want to focus on.
What're in the box includes a pair of Cootree® QCY Wireless Earbuds, a Micro-USB charging cable, User's Guide, as several pieces of in-ear buds with different sizes. Again, no surprise but get the job done. One of the downside is the length of the charging cable which is around 17cm only. You may need a longer one if you want to plug onto wall charger and put the earbud on a desk instead of hanging it there.
Pairing has been easy. Press and hold the power button on the right earpiece with the "C" logo (called the MFB button) until Red and Blue LED light flashes alternatively. You will also hear "Pairing" voice in the earbuds in case you have already put it on before pairing with your device.
Then go to your Apple Watch, Settings, Bluetooth and let it search until you see Cootree 240 available for pairing under device. Tap on it and when you see connected, you are good to go. More importantly, you have to choose the Source from Apple Watch and AirPlay to "Cootree 240" in the Force Touch Menu in the Music App.
Control is easy and intuitive. You can power it on or off by pressing the MHB button for 3 seconds until you see blue LED flashes or goes off. The volume up and down button not only can control the volume, but also can skip the music back and forth.
Flipping open the cap with the Micro USB icon on it you can reveal the charging port. The LED will turn firm blue when fully charged.
The sound quality is fairly good, which could be more than you have expected at this price level. Output is clear and crisp with good amount of base but not overwhelming. Noise cancellation has been well done with the in-ear design. The earbuds stay firm in your ears as well, although it may look a little but bulky (and weird) the shape externally.
Overall speaking, the Cootree® QCY Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds is a good deal and companion with your Apple Watch, no matter you really do the workout or not by taking these 2 devices with you. Really nothing to lose to give it a try. You can now purchase Cootree® QCY Bluetooth 4.1 Wireless Earbuds right away on Amazon for $23.99.

Hmm I probably should have written my 2nd Empties post about a month ago....it's been so long since the last one I've got loads of products to write about! As with the last one, I'll try keep the comments for each product to a minimum so the post doesn't end up being massive!
L'Oreal Elvive Nutri-Gloss Shine Cream Conditioner
I picked this up on a whim a few months ago when I was looking for a cheapish shampoo and conditioner as it was nearing the end of the month (i.e I was skint) and I needed new hair stuff. I think I was pulled in by the bright pink packaging mainly, lol. As with all drugstore conditioners this leaves your hair feeling lovely and soft and shiny, but only if you like cover your hair in the stuff. Don't think I'd repurchase.
Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Conditioner
Now this I really liked - my hair felt amazing everytime I used it. And it was relatively cheap too (although it's a pretty small bottle) - will definitely repurchase.
Mango & Papaya Shower Gel
This came in a shower gel set I got for Christmas last year. Pretty standard fruity shower gel - smelled yummy and did the job.
Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor
I've been using this for years now and it's pretty much my go-to conditioner. Smells delicious and leaves my hair silky, soft, shiny and smooth (all the S's!).
Lee Stafford Blow Dry Your Hair Faster Spray
I've actually just bought another bottle of this and I'm not sure why....I haven't noticed any real decrease in hair drying time (in fact I timed it once as a test, one day with the spray and the other without and it was pretty much the same time to the second!). I use it mainly as a heat protector though as I'm bad for blow drying my hair without using any products.
Pro:Voke Touch of Silver Twice a Week Brightening Shampoo
I used this a lot when I had my hair really light blonde - it was great for keeping my hair from going brassy. Also I had purple hair a while back and it helped to keep that from fading too quickly too. I'm starting to go a bit darker with my blonde now though so I won't really need to use again unless I go back to platinum at some point. Would definitely recommend this if you want to keep your blonde hair silver/platinum as it does work.
Tesco Wake Up! Coconut & Mango Shower Creme
Again this is a pretty basic fruity shower gel - one of those ones where you're in the supermarket and remember you are running low on shower gel so just pick up a random one from the toiletries aisle.
Skin Doctors Accelerating Cleanser
I wasn't sure if I should keep this in here or not as I actually used it about 2 years ago and just found it randomly the other day. It had about 2 uses left in it so I used it for 2 days before it was finished. It's a scent free foaming cleanser from the Australian skincare brand Skin Doctors. I think I bought it a few years ago when I was looking to start using "proper" skincare products rather than my trusty old face wipes, and for some reason picked this online (must have had good reviews!). I can't remember if it was any good when I used it before, but on the 2 occasions that I used it recently it left my skin looking feeling really soft and my pores looked smoothed out. Not sure I'd repurchase though as I'm quite attached to my REN and Origins products at the moment!
Yves Rocher Pure System Daily Exfoliating Cleanser
I've written a full review of the Yves Rocher Pure System range, but to summarise I really liked this!
I'll try make this a monthly feature from now on so I don't have so much to write about each time!
I'll try make this a monthly feature from now on so I don't have so much to write about each time!

Swansea City spoils Van Gaal's Manchester United debut
LONDON - Louis van Gaal's Manchester United reign got off to a bad start on Saturday, August 16 as Swansea City won 2-1 in the season's opening Premier League game at Old Trafford.
Van Gaal was taking charge of his first competitive game as United manager, but his new side exhibited many of the same failings from last season _ when they finished seventh _ as they slumped to a surprise defeat.
South Korea midfielder Ki Sung-yueng exploited inattentive marking to give Swansea a 28th-minute lead with a left-foot shot from the edge of the box.
United's new captain Wayne Rooney equalized early in the second period, but Gylfi Sigurdsson earned Swansea victory in the 72nd minute with a close-range finish.
(RELATED: Five Premier League questions for 2014-15)
It gave Swansea back-to-back wins at Old Trafford, following their shock FA Cup success in January, and was a reversal of United's 4-1 win at the Liberty Stadium on the first day of last season.
Injuries obliged Van Gaal to give competitive debuts to Tyler Blackett, 20, and 21-year-old Jesse Lingard.
Lingard's day was to last only 24 minutes, however, as he was forced off after appearing to jar his knee in a challenge with visiting captain Ashley Williams.
United controlled possession in the first half, but Swansea struck from their first sight of goal, with Ki stroking home a lay-off from Sigurdsson.
Swansea's fans burst into a chorus of 'You're getting sacked in the morning!' aimed at Van Gaal, who sat impassively in his seat in the dug-out.
Sigurdsson crowns return
The Dutchman introduced Nani in place of striker Javier Hernandez at half-time, and United responded immediately.
Juan Mata's right-wing corner was flicked on by Phil Jones and Rooney hooked home a spectacular close-range volley at the back post.
Rooney came close to putting United ahead with a free-kick that hit the outside of the post in the 66th minute.
But it was Swansea who claimed the winning goal when Icelandic midfielder Sigurdsson – back at the club after two years at Tottenham Hotspur – slammed home from Wayne Routledge's mishit volley.
Later on Saturday, last season's FA Cup winners Arsenal will begin their campaign at home to Crystal Palace.
With manager Tony Pulis having left Palace on Friday after a reported disagreement with co-chairman Steve Parish, assistant coach Keith Millen will be in temporary charge for the trip to the Emirates Stadium.
Elsewhere, Championship winners Leicester City will play their first top-flight game since 2004 when they host Everton, while fellow promoted side Queens Park Rangers welcome Hull City to Loftus Road.
In the day's other games, Alan Irvine begins his career as West Bromwich Albion manager at home to Sunderland, Tottenham Hotspur visit London rivals West Ham United, and Stoke City host Aston Villa.
Champions City travel to Newcastle United on Sunday, with Liverpool, the side they pipped to last season's title, hosting Southampton. Chelsea, third last season, visit promoted Burnley on Monday. - Rappler.com

Facts About the Underground River
Located just around fifty km from the beautiful city of Puerto Princesa in the Philippines, lies the famous underground river. It recently has been included in the New 7 Wonders list. As a result, millions of people from all over the globe comes here to visit this stunning underground river philippines. Although it is called the underground river, it is technically above the sea level.
Some facts about the underground
1.Getting there
It is just a 2-hour drive from the city of Puerto Princesa. It lies within the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. The area is protected, and the number of tourists visiting every day is also controlled by the authorities. On your way to the river, you will be able to see the famous Ugong Rock. Many tourists prefer to stay here to experience the life of a caveman.
2. Flora and Fauna
Inside the river, you will get to see lots of different kinds of animals and plants. There are around eight hundred species of plants found here. Because of the presence of such a huge variety of plants, you will also get to see many animals, especially the monkeys. Many tourists also feed the monkeys.
The monkeys are so used to getting food from the tourists, that they sometimes try to snatch away the foods from your hands. Hence, you need to be extremely careful. Apart from that, you will also find different kinds of birds here. It is estimated that around one sixty-five species of birds reside here.
3. The size of the river
The river is around 8.2 km long, but you can't go the entire length of the river. Only 4.3 km of the river has been made accessible to the tourists. If you want to visit the remaining part, you have to get a special permit, which is very difficult to get for normal tourists. But still, you should try to get your hands on the permit, because it is totally worth it.
4. Inside the river
Tourists are given a fiberglass boat to explore the interiors of the river. You will be accompanied by a boatman, who will share you the history and interesting stories about the river. If you look closely, you will observe that the rock formations represents a figure or an object.
Some of them look like the horse, fruits, mushrooms. There is also one rock formation, which looks like the figure of a naked lady. The authorities here are extremely worried about your safety. You will need to wear a helmet because some loose rocks often fall from the roof of the cave.…

Air raid alarms sound, and Japanese officer Yashida goes to open prison cells with American soldiers inside, including Logan. The scene ends up being a dream of Logan's, and we see what his life is like as a homeless nomad who lives in a cave. Logan meets Yukio, who says she was sent by Yashida, leading Logan to Tokyo.

Cabinet des Médailles' Extraordinary Hoard of Ancient Roman Silver Luxury Objects Comes to the Getty for Three-Year-Long Conservation Project and Exhibition
July 19, 2011
LOS ANGELES—The J. Paul Getty Museum announced today that one of the most prominent holdings of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France's Cabinet des Médailles in Paris, the Berthouville Treasure, has begun a three-year-long process of conservation and technical research at the Getty Villa. This rare cache of approximately 95 ancient Roman silver objects was discovered in March 1830 by a farmer plowing his field near the village of Berthouville in Normandy. An extraordinary group of luxury vessels—including bowls and pitchers, many with figural decoration, as well as two silver statuettes of the Roman god Mercury—the objects are associated with a nearby sanctuary of the god Mercury and date to the first through third centuries A.D. Four large, late antique silver missoria (plates) belonging to the Cabinet are also part of the conservation project.
While undergoing conservation treatment at the Getty Villa, each piece will be individually cleaned and conserved, x-rayed and closely studied in preparation for a new publication on the hoard, and for inclusion in a 2014 exhibition at the Getty Villa of the holdings of ancient Roman luxury goods belonging to the Cabinet.
Jerry Podany, the Getty Museum's senior conservator of antiquities, said, "We feel extremely fortunate to be able to study and treat such a diverse range of silver objects from the same find site. Following our treatment and conservation efforts, these objects will be better understood, better preserved and available to a wider public."
Cabinet des Médailles curator Mathilde Avisseau-Broustet, who manages the collection along with curator Cécile Colonna, adds, "We appreciate the unique opportunity to exchange knowledge and expertise with our colleagues at the Getty. Not only will the conservation project help preserve these national treasures, but the findings will also advance art historical research and promote collaborative scholarship between art historians, museum curators, conservators, and scientists."
New discoveries are already being made on the first of the objects x-rayed in January. Using the most current methods for treating silver artifacts, a recent analysis of two double-walled drinking vessels revealed hidden inscriptions on their interior surface. The inscriptions recorded the weight of the metal used to construct a portion of the object. This precise inventory information demonstrates an acute awareness of the high value of silver used in their manufacture. The x-rays also revealed various restoration materials, which will undergo scientific analysis in the coming year.
Eduardo Sanchez, the Getty Museum's associate conservator of antiquities, is leading the Getty's conservation effort along with Susan Lansing Maish, the Getty Museum's assistant conservator of antiquities.
Funding for the shipment of the silver from France to Los Angeles was provided by the Getty Museum's Villa Council.

1.) Who really helped you get over something? Write about that person.(writingfix.com)
I've had several big things happen over the past 3-4 years. Two major-ly broken hearts, and more recently, it got bruised. And, I feel foolish because it only got bruised because I was stupid and decided to just say the heck with it and dropped all walls. Dur. Stupid move, and I know better - I won't do it again. Well, this week, anyway. I've also had some stressful vehicle issues, as well as personal stuff. So, who helps me get over it? Let's go with the broken heart deal, since that's the one that seems to have taken the longest.
It's actually not one person, it's several. Michelle, Annette, Karey, Laurie, all the girls at work who laugh at my pathetic stories without making me feel like a complete loser. Michelle, for encouraging me to write about the humorous events that have led me to be as screwed up as I am. I'm going to take her advice and at least get them out in some format. Annette, for listening and being quick to judge that said boy is just a big, fat stupid head. Karey, for always listening to my stories and letting me come and escape into her world. Laurie, who is always there for a quick gab/text session. And my awesome, fantastic co-workers, without whom life would be very boring. Anytime I have any problems, they are so quick to either help me solve them, dissect them, or laugh at them.

Another installment, reporting on my winter's reading adventures. I write historical fiction (as E.A. Stewart), but I didn't do a very good job this winter of reading deeply in the genre. Instead, I got hooked on a few series and read compulsively.
P.F. Chisolm's Sir Robert Carey Mystery series:
I didn't stop to breathe while consuming these Elizabethan period mysteries—and generally I loathe reading anything in that period.

No matter your credit situation, you can be approved for a bad credit personal loans
For individuals with bad or poor credit we have several options for personal loans. Just because your credit rating has suffered in the past doesn't mean you can not gain a line of credit for todays need. Everyone has a rough patch in this bad economy.
There are times in life when financial hardship is more common than at others, in the current economic turn down we see lots of individuals who used to have great credit and are now working with bad or poor credit. In these instances their only option sometimes to make end meet is to search out a poor credit loan or a lender willing to lend to those with a sub-par credit score. The worse that your credit score is, the more difficult it becomes to find a personal loan to suit your needs. Thankfully, there are options for those with bad credit to get an unsecured poor credit loan.
There are usually few options for people with bad credit looking to get a loan. Most are faced with the choice of either a secured loan which could mean putting up your car or home as collateral guaranteeing that you will pay back the loan. One thing that people seeking to get a loan on collateral sometimes make the mistake of doing is dealing with a loan shark. One way to avoid that is by adjusting your finances, and coming up with a plan to solve your current cash problem with a short term loan, otherwise known as a cash advance loan.
These types of cash advance loans offer varying amounts that you can get your loan in, and the good news is that with this type of bad credit loan you can get a loan without any type of collateral to insure the loan, and the process is very easy. Many times while applying for this type of personal loan you can get approved in minutes, and have the money in your bank account usually the same day. Most of these companies have been around for years and are very reputable at what they do, we do our best to vet the companies that appear here on CreditLoan4U to ensure that you get the best experience possible.
We understand that difficult times call for difficult measures, and in this economy things have been difficult for many people. Our service here is to help those with poor credit to find the best personal loans to get themselves the help that they need. Our bad credit loans offer zero collateral and are available in amounts such as 500, 1000, 10000 and even 25000 in some cases. Depending on your needs, and your ability to repay the loan you could quality for any of those. Make sure you check out several of the cash advance loans that we post so that you can find one that is best suited to your current situation and needs.
The great thing about these loans is almost everyone is approved, and in many cases you can get a loan with bad credit without even faxing in a single document. However, don't think that just because these are primarily geared towards poor credit that those are the only people they lend to. Our featured lenders also have their share of customers with great credit who use short term personal loans to get through some rough patches in life and come back for them again and again.

Maya Deren (1917-1961) wore many hats in her brief lifetime: avant-garde filmmaker, documentarian, author, and Voudoun priestess, to name a few. Her influence, especially in independent film, has not only endured but also increased in the decades following her death. Deren was a seminal figure among independent filmmakers about whom legends sprung. Her reputation as a filmmaker rests on only seven short completed films in her lifetime and five unfinished films, though one was edited and released after her death. In the early 21st century Deren, who by then had been dead for more than 40 years, was still discussed as a fresh voice and a "past master who still matters," as the magazine Utne Reader declared her.
Early Years
Deren was born Eleanora Solomonovna Derenkovsky on April 29, 1917, in Kiev, Ukraine, less than two months after the Russian Revolution that forced the Tsar's abdication (but prior to the Bolshevik takeover). Her parents were members of Kiev's intelligentsia: her mother, Marie, had studied music and her father, Solomon, was a psychiatrist. The period between 1917 and 1922, Deren's early years, was a time of political and economic upheaval in Russia and Ukraine. The five-year span saw the Tsar's abdication; the two revolutions of 1917, the second of which brought the Bolsheviks to power; Russia's capitulation in the First World War; the civil war; and the formation of the Soviet Union. Furthermore, Ukraine, which had been part of the tsarist empire, declared itself an independent nation on January 22, 1918, but in 1922 it became a constituent republic of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Despite all of this, the Derenkovsky family led a relatively secure life.
All of that changed by 1922. The economy was in such a shambles that even Lenin had retreated from hardline communism toward a "New Economic Policy." A more important factor in the Derenkovskys' decision to emigrate was a recurrence of pogroms (organized massacres of Jews) in Ukraine. The family eventually settled in Syracuse, New York, where Solomon Derenkovsky's brother lived. After a period of adjustment Solomon Derenkovsky set up his psychiatric practice and the family name was shortened to Deren.
Young Eleanora Deren attended primary school in Syracuse until 1930 when she was sent to Switzerland to attend Ecole Internationale de Geneve, which was founded under the auspices of the League of Nations (the immediate predecessor of the United Nations). Deren remained in Switzerland for three years studying French, German, and Russian. When she returned to the United States in 1933 she enrolled at Syracuse University, where she studied journalism until 1935. At this time Deren joined the Young People's Socialist League, a Trotskyite organization. Among the political activists she became involved with was Gregory Bardacke, whom she married in 1935. Deren and Bardacke moved to New York City, and Deren transferred to New York University (NYU) from which she graduated in 1936. At NYU Deren first became interested in photography and film. Deren then went on to study literature at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts; she was awarded an M.A. in 1939. By then Deren and Bardacke had divorced. Deren's initial career path was the publishing industry. She worked briefly as a writers' and publishers' factotum, all the while writing poetry herself.
Independent Filmmaker
Soon she met and began working as a secretary for Katherine Dunham, who was to have a profound influence on the directions Deren's career would take. Dunham was a choreographer and an anthropologist who had founded an African American dance company. It was while working for Dunham in Los Angeles in 1941, where Deren lived with her mother (Deren's parents ultimately divorced), that she met Alexander Hammid; ten years Deren's senior, he became another influence on her career. Hammid (original name Hackenschmied) was a Czechoslovakian refugee who came to the United States to work as a motion picture photographer for "The March of Time" newsreels. Deren and Hammid were married in 1942 and it was he who provided the stimulus for Deren's filmic imagination. During this time, possibly at Hammid's suggestion, Deren changed her first name to Maya, the Sanskrit word for illusion.
At the time of her marriage Deren was primarily a writer, with poetry, newspaper articles, short stories, and essays to her credit. One of her essays, written no doubt under the eye of Dunham, discussed religious possession in dancing—a theme that would later command her attention. In 1943 Solomon Deren died and left Deren a small inheritance with which she purchased a second-hand Bolex 16mm camera, which she and Hamid used to make the film Meshes in the Afternoon. While Meshes in the Afternoon is considered her first film by most film historians, filmmaker Stan Brakhage in his essay on Deren (published in Film at Wit's End ) discussed the idea that a study of the photography reveals it is primarily Hammid's film: "For all the unusual things that happen within the film, its whole style of photography betrays the slick, polished, penultimate craftsmanship of the old European sensibility for which Sasha [Hammid] was known." Nevertheless Brakhage does acknowledge "the real force of the film came from Maya herself."
Deren and Hammid moved to New York City where her electric personality really took off. Soon she was regularly screening Meshes in the Afternoon and lecturing the audience on independent filmmaking. This caused a natural friction with Hammid who felt he was being slighted. In 1943 Deren began another film, Witch's Cradle, but it remained unfinished. The most notable aspects of the film were that it was shot at an art gallery where a surrealist exhibition was taking place and that it included Marcel Duchamp. Deren followed up this attempt with the 15-minute film, At Land, which featured Deren herself on different landscapes: merticulously crawling on rocks, walking along what appears to be a cart path with a man who changes appearances. The film included brief appearances by poet and critic Parker Tyler, composer John Cage, and Hammid.
In 1945 Deren and Hammid decided to make a second film together in which Hammid would take the lead in directing and filming. The result was the 30-minute The Private Life of a Cat. Here again Stan Brakhage, who was a friend and something of a protégé of Deren, disputes the claim of film historians who say that Deren's imput was minimal. However The Private Life of a Cat did not boost Hammid's reputation the way Meshes had lifted Deren's. Also in 1945 Deren made A Study in Choreography for Camera, a 2 1/2-minute film that featured choreographer Talley Beatty who was also credited as co-director.
1946 was a busy year for Deren. She rented the Provincetown Playhouse n New York City and screened Meshes in the Afternoon, At Land, and A Study in Choreography for Camera. The program, which ran several evenings, was titled "Three Abandoned Films." She published An Anagram of Art, Form, and Film and received a Guggenheim Fellowship for "Creative Work in the Field of Motion Pictures." Deren was the first filmmaker to be awarded a Guggenheim fellowship. That year Deren also completed Ritual in Transfigured Time.
Voudoun Priestess
In 1947 she presented Meshes in the Afternoon at the Cannes Film Festival where it won the Grand Prix International in the category of 16mm Film, Experimental Class. It was the first time the award went to a film produced in the United States and the first time a female director was honored. Deren and Hammid were divorced that year, and Deren began making trips to Haiti to observe and film Voudoun rituals and dance. The result was that over the next eight years her focus began to shift away from film and onto Voudoun culture. Deren's involvement with Voudoun became the source of most of the legends that surrounded her life.
In between trips to Haiti, Deren completed Meditation on Violence (1948). This was to be her only completed film for the next seven years as she spent a total of nearly two years in Haiti working on her Voudoun ritual project. In 1949 she began but left unfinished Medusa, and in 1951 she abandoned Ensemble for Somnambulists. By that time she had met and fallen in love with a young Japanese musician, Teiji Ito. Ito was 15 years old at the time of their meeting (Deren was 43), and Deren became both his mentor and lover; they lived together in New York and traveled to Haiti. In 1953 Deren published Divine Horsemen: The Living Gods of Haiti, a study of Haitian deities, rituals, and practices. The work had the assistance of anthropologist Gregory Bateson and was edited by Joseph Campbell. In the book Deren defined myth as "facts of the mind made manifest in a fiction of matter." When the book was republished in 1970 Campbell wrote a second foreword (he had also written a foreword to the first edition) in which he summed up the work by saying: "It has always been my finding that the poet and the artist are better qualified both by temperament and by training to intuit and interpret the sense of the mythological figure than the university-trained empiricist. And rereading today, after twenty years, Maya Deren's celebration of the gods by whom her own life and personality were transformed, I am reconfirmed in that finding; reconfirmed, also, in my long-held belief that this little volume is the most illuminating introduction that has yet been rendered to the whole marvel of the Haitian mystères as 'facts of the mind.' "
By the time Deren had finished filming in Haiti she had shot more than 18,000 feet of film, but as Brakhage attests the amount of footage overwhelmed Deren and she could not complete the job of editing. Her own Voudoun practice continued, however, which may have been the reason for her inability to edit the footage. The deeper Deren became involved in the religion the harder it was for her to believe in the efficacy of the film document of the rituals. Deren's practice included regular dance rituals in her apartment as well as performing a Voudoun ritual at the marriage of dancer Geoffrey Holder, whereupon she went into a trance, witnessed by Brakhage, in which she displayed amazing physical strength and fits of violence. But Deren's Voudoun legend did not end there.
Final Film
Her final film, The Very Eye of Night, was completed in 1955, but because of financial problems it did not premiere until 1959. The film had its premiere in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, with a soundtrack by Teiji Ito. The delay caused a rift between Deren and her backer, lyricist John Latouche, with the supposed result being that Deren put a Voudoun curse on Latouche, who died soon afterward.
In the late 1950s Deren established the Creative Film Foundation and in 1960 she married Teiji Ito. She had also begun the "Haiku Film Project," but it never went beyond the planning stage. In 1961 Deren and Ito traveled to New England to claim his inheritance following the death of his father. Ito's family sought to block the claim and Deren became apoplectic (showing signs of a stroke). The fit, whether Voudoun inspired or not, caused her to have a cerebral hemmorage, and she lapsed into a two-week coma from which she never awoke. Deren died on October 13, 1961, in New York City. The fact that it was Friday the 13th also contributed to her legend. Some believe she was the victim of a counter-curse placed on her by friends of Latouche. Another possible (and more rational) cause of her stroke was the so-called vitamin shots Deren had been receiving. These contained amphetamines.
After her death, the Haitian footage was offered to many filmmakers to edit, but all refused. In the 1980s Teiji Ito and his new wife Cherel completed the editing process and, with a soundtrack by Ito, the completed film became Divine Horsemen. In 1985 the American Film Institute established the Maya Deren Award for independent filmmaking.

It has been awhile since I have had the pleasure of giving feedback at Yinz Hungry?, thus I hope that absence truly does makes heart grow fonder.
'Where was Blake?' many of you may ask. You see, Blake loves "food!" Real "food;" not your 'let me make your plate pretty with an inedible herbivore garnish' which was never meant to be ingested by anything under the homo sapiens classification, adding a pleasant aesthetic food, but real 'let me die happy with steak and glass of 'Merican Bourbon "food!"' Culinary striking delicate masterpieces take a backseat to quality cuisine served out aluminum foil by a man named 'Bo' who lost a finger or two in a pig roast accident in '73. If the portion size is only fit to satisfy a stomach the size of a tufted titmouse then "Houston, we have a problem."
Thus while Pittsburgh is currently experiencing a culinary revolution, expert cuisine from all regions of the globe, Blake is standing in the field the "The Last Samurai" waiting to commit seppuku with a plate of cheesy curly fries and a Reuben when asked 'Would I like a side of lemongrass and a PBR?' Ok truth comes out, Blake distains hipsters!
Management (cough….cough), feels Yinz Hungry? needs to be a bias-free environment where we help our readers understand the great landscape and explore Pittsburgh cuisine, thus Blake gets sent to the dreaded "field-duty"…. culinary purgatory, while I learn to appreciate food. Here is what we will be doing. As this summer ends, we have begun to survey and review various coffeeshops and teahouses around the Pittsburgh region. We will then provide "unbiased" analysis. Thus please don't hesitate to send us your favorite cozy coffee locations and we shall do our best to provide you with the Yinz Hungry? touch. Of course if they serve food it is a bonus but not required. Yes, management finds it amusing to send Blake to coffeeshops … . the place where hipsters spawn like salmon. Call it sensitivity training if you will.
Note from "Management": Blake's blogs will be featured in our new "Yinz Thirsty?" section. Be on the look out for Blake's blogs and all the new "Yinz Thirsty?" blogs in the near future!

Design is an extremely important aspect of digital marketing, and web design is no longer a one-size-fits-all proposition. The reason is simple: are consumers going to be viewing your site and its content on desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones? If the answer is yes - and there's no good reason it wouldn't be - then your business needs responsive web design.
Responsive web design solutions allow businesses to build and manage a consistent presence across all channels that a 21st century consumer uses. This means that your website and its content will look proportionate to the screen-size it's being viewed on. Many businesses don't realize they are losing conversions (potential sales) by not implementing responsive web design solutions.
User experience also plays a large role in the significance of responsive web design solutions. If a potential customer can't use your site properly on a smartphone or a tablet, there's a good chance that your unresponsive site will interrupt their buying cycle and send them running in the direction of your competitors.
Responsive web design solutions are a key component of any digital marketing strategy in 2014 and beyond. Custom mobile website design package from $2.500 (eCommerce typically from $6,500) . If you're interested just contact us now on 204-294-9974 to arrange your telephone consultation.
