CHA sneak peek!
We are just days away from our annual industry trade show – typically known as CHA (since it is put on by the Craft & Hobby Association) but this year known as Creativation! This event is not open to the general public but rather is an opportunity for retailers and other industry "insiders" to gather and see all of the new products and trends in the craft and hobby market. It's so fun for us to show off designs that have long been kept secret and also meet with retailers large and small to gain insight on what they are seeing from customers in their stores, what performs well for them, and what hopes they might have for future products in their stores. All of this information is incredibly valuable for us as we move forward and grow our brand and company — it's always been important for us to consider the feedback from our customers but equally important for us to listen to what retailers have to say.
We'll be sharing more in-depth details of these new products directly from the show, so be sure to follow us on social media for loads of behind the scenes antics. Until then, take a look at the new goodies we've got coming and a few new designers who have joined our Project Life® family!
Knick Knack Edition
The eclectic mix of retro patterns and colors in the Knick Knack Edition are the design genius of Kristin Nohe Juchs – one of our newest designers! From buttons to bows and cameras to glasses, the icons throughout this kit will remind you of times past and the charm that all of those knick knacks possess.
Awesome Edition
As I worked with Shawna Clingerman to design the Awesome Edition, I was transported back to the bedroom of my youth — it was filled with a variety of rainbow wallpaper patterns and pink shag carpet. Awesome, right? This kit is filled with bright colors, icons, and word art that will make you smile and fill your album with cheery bits of design.
Garden Party Value Kit
Let's welcome Esther Longmore to the Project Life family by throwing a party . . . a Garden Party! The delicate design work and color palette depict springtime delight with fruits, umbrellas, flowers, and more. The cardstock embellishments also have gold foil accents.
Hopscotch Value Kit
Childlike fun is the star of the Hopscotch Value Kit designed by Shannon McNab. Whimsical icons of kites, bicycles, butterflies, and swings will transport you to the playground where games are played and memories are made. The cork embellishments are also reminiscent of the outdoor textures.

The new AWESOME = just awesome.
Hope they are in the Netherlands soon.
Love, Ria
Love them all!!
Still hoping to see a Birthday Value Kit.
I too would love more birthday options. Apart from Christmas which you have covered well I have the most birthday pictures. Some bright themes and pastel themed birthday for PL would be awesome.
Hi kari!
wondering if there will be any new colors for the 12 x 12 faux leather albums?
These new kits are awesome! Hope we will see them in the PL App's line up very soon :)
This is so very cool! I just love it! I will definitely be buying these!
Ahhh! I love them and want them all!
Any new albums coming??
Would love to see some more neutral colors (less kid themed) for everyday life. Those of us who have teenagers and/or boys would appreciate some navy, grey, black , tan, neutrals with less kid themes as a unique option. For many of us who started with Project Life our children are older in high school or college and we are documenting our daily life too.
I agree the first thing I thought when I saw all of these was are they aiming towards teenagers? Guess I will have to go to Ali Edwards or someone else with a minimal style. Glad I'm not alone in this desire for more neutrals.
Olivia–you read my mind! I feel like I've made your exact comment to Becky and team (who are all awesome btw) many times–but the same colors keep showing up in these kits; especially those pinks and pastels which do not work for teenagers and young adults. I've leaned toward Cathy Zielske for this exact reason but she's only designed one Vakue Kit. I wish "youngish" colored kits would be balanced with something that works for teens.
Olivia, I agree wholeheartedly! I feel like the designs are different , but the colors are so similar from collection to collection. I just do not use pink, and it seems as if most of the collections are heavy on pink. Becky, I would love to see some neutrals and some new color schemes!
I definitely agree! I can't see using these kits with my teenagers and/or boys and I'm running out of kits that fit this criteria. I'd prefer more minimalist design and neutral color schemes.
Me too! I'm a guy scrapbooker with two teenage boys. Less pink and purple!
I agree as well. I love Project Life, but am running into the same issue. I need more neutrals. My kids are 13-20. I have very different things to document now than I did 10 years ago. Wonderful things! Life is good in all of it's stages!
I thought the exact same thing! These all look like they are going to work for a younger/teenager instead of a mom of 2 like myself. I guess I prefer the more modern kits. I also have a son and would like to see more blue/grey/black/navy color options. I'll keep checking back for new releases/kits but while very nice looking these don't appeal to me.
I thought maybe I was the only one! I love Project Life, but always wish there were kits with not necessarily just neutral colors, but more muted natural versions of colors that go well with lots of outdoor shots. And patterns on filler cards that are less bold/trendy/distracting/busy (they often overpower the photos). The bold trendy patterns and all the pinks (and purples) are a "sometimes" scrapbooking thing for me (like dessert is a "sometimes" food) that I occasionally enjoy, but the other I described, I would be able to use a lot more often!
These look so great! I can't wait to see these in the App. When are they expected to be added?
I can't wait!
I have a Request!
More overlays for the app please!!!
I would love to see more words, shapes, and thin frame boarders!
Also a photo layout for the 12×12 that you can fill with ONE picture.
Thank you so much! My kids life is all easily documented thanks to these amazing products, and ease of use!
Hi linzie
You can add only one photo to a 12×12 layout using the collage section not the template section -) cheers Julie
These all look great! I'm always excited to sed new kits! Looking forward to seeing them in the PL app.
The Knick Knack collection would be awesome to scrapbook my old school photos! They would fit right in with those 80's pictures! 😄
Love them all! I hope they will be available SOON in the PL APP!
Hi – the new kits are beautiful especially Awesome. However I agree with some of the above comments. I'd love to see a PL set done by Liz Tamanaha or Cathy Zielski and have it all done in black, gray, and white. I find many of the bright color sets (while I love them and still use them) take away from the pictures and story telling.(especially if I'm doing a book with all black and white pictures.) Keep it simple and keep it all vertical and also please have an equal number of each card. Really don't need a bunch of title cards either but I love 4 x 6 journal cards.
Love, love, love Project Life,
The new kits are very nice, but it seems like they're just a variation of past kits. My husband and I are both retired and like to travel, especially in Europe. I've exhausted the Vintage Travel and Cinnamon kits. How about something new with an old world theme? I would like to see more variety in the kits.
I have to agree with the above comments as well. The kits look all the same to me. Too " cutesy" for my taste. I would love to see a kit WITHOUT phrases and words written on the cards. Maybe just designs or more journal type cards. My favorites have been Cathy Zielske's , the Heather Bailey kit ( for girls) and the very first kit, The Cherry kit ( pretty designs and not overwhelming). Please make more like these!
I love(d) the Cherry kit!
Totally love the Knick Knack collection. As a kid of the 70s and 80s, we were into the funky retro. Can't wait to use these! And I also love the cork embellishments in the Hopscotch. I love theses collections and can't wait to use them. They are a great kickoff to spring. Now, if only I could get into the CHA this weekend since I am here in Phoenix, (kick in evil laugh).
Suggestion: I would look at the hit show FIXER UPPER and take some color cues from her remodels. I caught up last night on a few episodes and look at the neutrals she uses on walls and for decorating – taupes, grey, slate blue, with a few hint/pops of color. That would be a great kit with less cute designs and sayings. Make a kit with more style elements and aesthetically mature/neutral.
I love the embelishments and would LOVE to see embelishments in the app.
Outstanding new fun! I am so loving the new cards! They are going to be a delight to scrap my grandkids books with! Thank you for taking the time to share the new goodies!
I could not agree more with Isabelle…..Fixer Upper color palette for those of us whose children are grown, and are documenting life, but in a less "cutesy" way!
OH MY WORD – I cannot wait to get my crafty mitts on these in the UK! x
Still hoping to find out that you've made a stand alone computer program for Project Life. :)
I'm loving these new kits! As a child of the 70's, I'm excited for the throwbacks. Great job, as always!
Thanks for these sneak peeks! I have to agree with many of the comments above. These sets are super cute, but with a family of 2 teenage boys and a pre-teen girl, I have kind of moved past cute with our scrapbooks. I'd love to see less pink and more muted colors. The sea foam edition was one of my favorites, I'd love to see another one like that. I love the colors on the Bridgeport childhood edition too. Thanks for listening to our input! :)
I love the bright colors and pinks. I have a back log of 20 years of " girl" books to work on.
I would like to see some sets that would be perfect for genealogy – all pictures / documents I have from 1800's are black, white, ivory brown. Mostly not wanting to use " too modern" of sets with the very old pictures/documents.
I agree with so many of the other scrapers. I'm 70 and started using Project Life as a way to catch up on my pictures. It has worked so far! I have six albums done so far. I scrapbook by date order for the year and put trips in there own albums. Would like to see cards for trip albums. How about making less cards in a kit and having the same card go horizontal and vertical on the other side. The cards I use most often have been from the seasons pack, the holiday edition and the small themed card packs. Hope to see some cards for us older scrapbookers. Thanks.

Personalized and unique engagement rings start with one of a kind diamond. Only 1 out of 10,000 carats that are mined can be defined as gem quality loose colored diamond. Being so rare they make the ultimate and ideal way to show your love to your loved one.
This is why colored diamond engagement rings are constantly on the rise. Here are a few guides and facts we recommend to begin with.
Diamond Color is one of the most important attributes used to assess a diamond's value for colorless and fancy color diamonds alike.
But what does it really mean? How are diamonds graded for color? When is a diamond considered Fancy? What can affect the color and how to use it for our advantage in order to save money on our engagement ring?
All of these questions and many others are answered inside our comprehensive guide:
Diamond Color Chart
Yellow Diamonds and Pink Diamonds, as different as may be, have one thing in common - They are the most searched for colored diamonds.
As a result of their attractive pricing and strong fashionable impact, canary yellow diamonds are the most commonly known color for fancy diamonds.
These two guides would be a great place to start:
Natural fancy pink diamonds are probably the most sought after diamonds that exist. They are extremely rare and priced accordingly.
However, the gorgeous impact a relatively small pink diamond has on an engagement ring is priceless. There are a dozen ways to make these rare colored diamonds even more affordable than their white counterparts – simply by manipulating the pricing methodology.
This is the article you NEED to read before you start your search:

Matt Marshak at Houndstooth Pub: 2013 edition November 19, 2013Posted by Mike C. in Jazz, Music, Personal, Photography, Travel.
Other Matt Marshak show recaps: 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015
For the second year in a row, Matt Marshak performed at Houndstooth Pub on the weekend of my birthday. Last year, the show was on my 31st birthday; this year, it was the night before my 32nd.
Etienne Lytle on keyboards, who was also part of Steve Cole's band five weeks earlier:
The show was engineered by Neal Newman:
With the help of his son Dale:
1. Cadillac Kid
2. Down in Delaware
3. A Silent Knowing
4. Time for Takeoff
5. Listen to the Music (The Doobie Brothers cover)
6. Sanibel
7. Funkology
8. I Will Be With You
9. Put It Where You Want It (The Crusaders cover)
10. Feelin' It
11. Hold the Line (Toto cover; Matt had a more jazzy arrangement than Toto's original version)
12. I'm On Fire (Bruce Springsteen cover)
13. Wind Chill Factor
14. You've Been Had (Kenny Harris' song)
15. Kiss (Prince and The Revolution cover)
16. Sleepwalk (Santo & Johnny cover, notably covered by Larry Carlton)
As I've started to do in recent show recaps, most of the pictures below are grouped by artist.
Carl Anderson, during his "Sanibel" solo:
The blur was intentional. I wanted to show the rapid movement involved in Carl's drumming.
Matt & Kenny performing back-to-back on "I Will Be with You":
Matt & Kenny's "Feelin' It" vocal break:
For this song, Matt and the band were joined by guest vocalist Anastasia Rene:
At one point, Matt left the stage and played his way through the audience:
He returned to the stage for the end:
Between sets, Matt and I posted for this picture:
After the second set, I took pics with Carl Anderson:
I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present than the two hours of music I saw on Saturday night. Thanks to Matt, Kenny, Etienne, Carl, Anastasia, Neal, Dale, and to Steve Butler.

[…] In addition to some new contemporary jazz releases, I broadened my musical horizons by adding Return to Forever, Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band, and various Christmas compilations to my collection. I posted more expressway and parkway pictures. I spent most of the summer scanning old 35mm pictures and recording cassettes and microcassettes to one of my hard drives. I returned to LIU Post and WCWP in October for my annual Homecoming Weekend Show and Homecoming itself. I attended Charlie Fillizola's art exhibit at Wantagh Public Library. And besides SJFS, I attended concerts in August, October, and November. […]

|Just coincidence?
Fred Kovaleski, whose international tennis-playing career became his cover in the 1950s while he was working as a spy for the C.I.A., died on Friday at his home in Manhattan. He was 93.
Mr. Kovaleski was well into his career on the tennis circuit, having played at Wimbledon and in tournaments abroad and in the United States, when he joined the C.I.A. in 1951 and began training in spycraft at Camp Peary, near Williamsburg, Va.
Within three years, his ability to play tennis and his Russian-language training with the C.I.A. became essential when Yuri Rastvorov, a K.G.B. lieutenant colonel and avid tennis player, defected to the United States. more

Flynn Brothers Eye Kitchen, Rooftop Patio Additions in Coming Months
PreFunk Beer Bar in Boise started in 2013 with 10 bar stools and 20 tap handles.
Owner and founder Justin Flynn said his original aim was to provide a space for residents to fill up growlers of local and regional craft beer to enjoy at home. In fact, Justin says the bar was the first growler fill station in all of Boise.
But the bar's customer's had a few suggestions. More beer. More variety. More gathering space to kick back and have a few pints. They wanted to stay awhile.
Justin listened.
Now a popular fixture of Boise's downtown, the bar boasts 40 different kinds of beer along with a small selection of wine and hard ciders. New selections are always available, and Justin says the bar is always looking for the best seasonal selections. Customers can even purchase beer online and PreFunk will have it waiting for pickup by the time they arrive at the bar.
It also has ample patio space complete with furniture built by Justin himself with the help of his younger brother, Jordan. Jordan serves as Justin's right-hand man and the bar's general manager.
"We do have some challenges," Justin says, "but we just have the same brain wave. We think a lot of the same thoughts and are on the same page. I wouldn't have it any other way."
Justin, 28, says the Flynn brothers' business sense came from watching their father run one of Idaho's largest and most successful drywall businesses here in the Treasure Valley. One of the bar's biggest challenges is getting people to take him seriously as a young business owner, Justin said.
"I never really wanted to work for anyone else," Justin says. "I wanted to be my own boss because I genuinely thought I could be on my own. I get more pleasure generating my own revenue than I would generating revenue for someone else."
Now the Flynn brothers want to expand the operation even more by adding a kitchen to PreFunk to serve up gourmet hot dogs by December. After that? They hope to add a rooftop patio to enjoy the view of Boise's developing west end.
PreFunk also has a location in the Flynn brothers' nearby hometown of Nampa.
"Putting time and energy into what we've started is our No. 1 priority," Justin says. "We want to make sure we don't veer too far from who we are."
And "who we are" means something very specific to Justin. He trains his staff to be experts on the types of beer on tap to help people better understand what they like and what they may want to try.
He welcomes customers of any age and background, he said, because that's what Boise is all about.
"I have 21-year-old college kids to middle-aged successful businessmen," he said. "It's cool to me that a lot of older people like to drink here. We want to cultivate an inviting, welcoming aura."
That welcoming atmosphere is also extended to Boise's four-legged friends. It's not usual to find dogs happily lapping up drinks of their own from the water buckets always available for their use.
"Our growth from day one has been crazy," he said. "We still have people who came here on day one to have a beer here since then."
PreFunk in Boise is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday and noon to 9 p.m. Sunday. It is located at 1100 W. Front St. and features daily happy hour specials.
For information, go to PreFunk.MyShopify.com or call 208.331.3865.

Email Abbie!
"I would like to open this site for conversation with women of all ages, convictions and styles of life – wherever situated on the gamut of experience. In principle, there is no bar to men joining in, since how one defines women has a lot to do with what it means to be a man. But it is women I invite to pull up a chair at this virtual café table and put their questions and views into the conversation. I can be wrong as often as right, so specific advice will be avoided. What will be sought is light on how best to frame the situation of women, considered as a highly interesting problematic. What kind of hand have we been dealt, as women, and how can we best play it?
Comments are warmly encouraged on any post at any point."

Women now have more options than ever when it comes to electing to have a breast augmentation procedure and which implant to choose. It's no longer silicone vs. saline and the options can be overwhelming. One Health Surgeons will offer their expertise and guidance in your consultation to assist in hand picking your custom size, shape and even the texture of your implants!
echo $_GET['kw'] ?> SURGERY
Breast enlargement is the standard term used for a surgery to enlarge the breasts and improve their overall shape. This surgery is also referred to as breast augmentation or augmentation mammoplasty.
Every woman is designed differently. They experience physical changes throughout life and things such as genetics, pregnancy, weight loss and age can lead to a loss of volume over time. No matter the type of breast implant you decide, our One Health skilled Surgeons and Patient Care Coordinators will be here to support and guide you through your decision making process, your procedure and recovery.
Breast implants receive the implant brand warranty as seen below:
- Motiva breast implants – 5 years free revision surgery for capsular contracture (Baker Grade 4-5) Free lifetime product replacement, 10 years guaranteed financial assistance to the value of 100% of the current list price for re-augmentation, in the event of loss of shell integrity resulting in implant rupture that requires surgical intervention.
- Natrelle breast implants – 3 years free revision surgery for capsular contracture (Baker Grade 4-5) Free lifetime product replacement, 10 years guaranteed financial assistance to the value of 100% of the current list price for re-augmentation, in the event of loss of shell integrity resulting in implant rupture that requires surgical intervention.
During a breast enlargement procedure, the Surgeon places an implant made of soft silicone gel or saline (salt water), giving the breasts more volume and enhanced shape.
This is done by making an incision, generally under the breast crease and a pocket is then created for the implant to be inserted into. The Surgeon will then customize the implants position based on the goals defined in your consultation.
Based on your consultation, the Surgeon may make one of two type of incisions:
"Subglandular" – implant placed on top of the muscle and over the glands.
"Submuscular" – implant placed partially or totally under the pectoralis major muscle.
After the implant has been placed and positioned, the wound is closed and dressed.
Q: What type of aftercare is needed for my breast augmentation?
A: You will be given specific aftercare instructions by your Surgeon based on your individual procedure. You will be given a post-operative bra to wear from one to two weeks following your procedure.
Q: What should I bring to my breast augmentation surgery consultation?
A: Bring:
- List of questions to ask your Surgeon
- Detailed list of the medications you take, including dietary supplements, vitamins and herbal or homeopathic remedies
- Photos that help illustrate what you want or don't want
- Bra or tops to try on while trying on implants for size
Q: How much time should I take off work to recover from my breast augmentation surgery?
A: Most people take off about one week. However, if you have an extremely physical job, you may need to take off longer. Ask your Surgeon for more specific advice. Do not return to work without first receiving approval from your Breast Surgeon.
Q: What can be done to ease preoperative fears?
A: It's completely normal to be nervous before any surgery. You can make some time to take a relaxing bath the night before your procedure. At times, just sitting quietly and relaxing breaths can help make you feel more centered and calm.
Q: Will I be able to have mammograms after my breast enlargement procedure?
A: Some breast implants have been known to make it more difficult to read a mammogram. It's important to continue to obtain routine mammograms after breast enlargement, however ensure to let the technician performing your mammogram know about your implants, so they can take special care and notice when your mammogram is performed.

Alfredisms: Norris, a Moustache and Shades of Gray
My late afternoon visit to the Polk Progress was at the invitation of the publisher, and I was not prepared for the multisensory assault of his office. The first wave was the strong smell of ink and solvent, followed by the clatter of a Linotype machine, and finally a visual of printer's ink, gradually transforming the interior and its contents toward black. Equally stark was the December view across Polk's Main Street through the front window. The John Deere Implement dealership and the IGA grocery store were closed and dark. Pickup trucks parked in front of the American Legion Club were muddy and utilitarian. Their rear bumpers defined 1971 with a Nebraska license (black lettering on a white background) and a bumper sticker that read "America—Love It or Leave It." At 17 years of age, the world was only visible in black and white.

Robb Report has selected the 7 best in-home sports simulators.
The ST-2 shooting simulator from Marksman Training Systems comes in as no. 5:
ST-2 Shooting Simulator by Marksman Training Systems: $23,000 to $40,000
Have your sights set on becoming a better shot? Aim for the ST-2 Shooting Simulator by Marksman Training Systems. Used by Slovakian team member Dana Barteková to help her win a bronze medal in Women's Skeet at the 2012 Olympics, the ST-2 tracks gun motion (before and after pulling the trigger) and gives detailed information on every hit and miss. It works with your own shotgun or rifle but without the bullets, so there's no shoulder fatigue or bruising from recoil. http://marksman.se/

1990 Vauxhall Senator CDXi 3.0 24v petrol from UK and Ireland
Blower for heater - there's a fuse which is part of the motor assembly. DON'T let the dealer sell you a new motor for 170 quid when a new fuse for a fiver will sort it. Takes about 4 hours to get to it though! Ended up buying motor from breakers (MegaVaux ) for 35 inc.
Dodgy wheel hub, bodged by a dealer no doubt. Cost 90 quid not inc labour.
Cruise control a bit peculiar, sometimes doesn't work at all, sometimes goes mad, usually in rain. When working is great on motorways.
Air-con needs recharging.
General Comments:
Find a good independent mechanic (I use Andy Fenn, St. Ives, Cambridgeshire) whom you can trust.
Ensure you know mileage is genuine, too many around which have been clocked!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

NASA will host a teleconference at 2 p.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 26, to present new findings from images captured by the agency's Hubble Space Telescope of Jupiter's icy moon, Europa.
Astronomers will present results from a unique Europa observing campaign that resulted in surprising evidence of activity that may be related to the presence of a subsurface ocean on Europa.The suspense is killing. What have they found? Oceans? Life? Europaen Ichthyosaurus? Monoliths? Messages? Warnings?
One cannot help but listen to "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss from the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey to get a sense of awe and some goosebumps.
Although, the announcement is more likely to be that of confirmation of liquid water and oceans underneath its icy surface. Perhaps, detection of some more water vapor plumes.
Europa is the sixth-closest moon of Jupiter, and the smallest of its four Galilean satellites, and the sixth-largest moon in the Solar System. Europa was discovered in 1610 by Galileo.
Astrobiologists regard Europa as one of the solar system's best bets to host alien life. The 1,900-mile-wide (3,100 kilometers) moon, slightly smaller than our moon, harbors a huge ocean of liquid water beneath its icy shell; it may hold twice as much water as Earth; furthermore, astronomers think this ocean is in contact with Europa's rocky mantle and is subject to tidal heating, making possible all sorts of interesting chemical reactions.
In December 2013, NASA reported the detection of "clay-like minerals" (specifically, phyllosilicates) on the icy crust of Europa. In addition, the Hubble Space Telescope detected water vapor plumes similar to those observed on Saturn's moon Enceladus, which are thought to be caused by erupting cryogeysers.
Jupiter sports a massive radiation belt, with radiation a million times more intense than in Earth's belts.
Jupiter's internal magnetic field is generated by electrical currents in the planet's outer core, which is composed of liquid metallic hydrogen. Volcanic eruptions on Jupiter's moon Io eject large amounts of sulfur dioxide gas into space, forming a large torus around the planet.
Jupiter's magnetic field forces the torus to rotate with the same angular velocity and direction as the planet. The torus in turn loads the magnetic field with plasma, in the process stretching it into a pancake-like structure called a magnetodisk. In effect, Jupiter's magnetosphere is shaped by Io's plasma and its own rotation, rather than by the solar wind like Earth's magnetosphere. en.wikipedia.org/...

Europa, along with the three other Galilean moons (Io, Ganymede and Callisto), orbits within Jupiter's radiation belts. Radiation in the form of high-energy electrons and ions continuously bombard the top layers of Europa's icy crust. The ions from the belt can penetrate about a millimeter into the ice. Electrons reach roughly a centimeter down, but they also emit high-energy photons that can go as far as a meter deep. Regardless of the type of radiation, these high-energy particles will rip electrons off of molecules, thereby "oxidizing" molecules on the surface.
This chemical destruction ironically could be vital to any potential life below. The ocean is believed to contain little to no dissolved oxygen (known as a "reducing environment"). In such an oxygen-poor bath, life could harvest chemical energy by combining surface oxidants with chemicals in the ocean that react with them (so-called "reductants"). The radiation produces free Oxygen from surface ice as well as other oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide. Tidal forces have been proposed as a mechanism to migrate some of this free Oxygen to deeper waters.
The radiation belts are rotating around Jupiter faster than Europa does. This results in the radiation predominantly striking the trailing hemisphere of the moon—which is always the same portion of the moon since Europa is locked in a synchronous orbit around Jupiter. Moreover, there is a constant stream of micrometeorites landing on the leading hemisphere. These tiny rocks form a regolith layer up to 3 meters thick that could protect oceanic material from incoming radiation. This provides a higher probability of finding complex molecules and perhaps life on the leading hemisphere of Europa.

Planned Mission to Europa
Meanwhile, NASA's planned mission to Europa, known as the Europa Clipper, is making progress and calls for a spacecraft to be launched to Jupiter in the 2020s, arriving in the distant planet's orbit after a journey of several years. The Europa Clipper would not orbit Europa, but instead orbit Jupiter and conduct 45 low-altitude flybys of Europa during its envisioned mission. The probe would carry an ice-penetrating radar, short-wave infrared spectrometer, topographical imager, and an ion- and neutral-mass spectrometer. During the 45 flybys, the spacecraft will image the moon's icy surface at high resolution and investigate its composition and the structure of its interior and icy shell and help select sites for a future lander.

It's that time of year where I deliver the annual Livvy May Summer Essentials Guide and what a fitting week as we saw the first day of summer arrive here in Australia and I welcomed it with sun-loving and open arms.
I love summer and I especially love summer in Sydney, when the beaches are packed, and everyone amps up their fitness routines and Sunday ciders at The Bucket List are the perfect way to finish the weekend and prepare for the week ahead. I also love going makeup free and baking by the beach but in order to protect myself among the harsh UV rays and not to mention surviving the party season.
To begin with skin is so important and protecting your skin is key in order to prevent sun damage, aid against skin cancer and ensure you age in the best possible way, which is something I've had to consider more and more and I grow closer to 30 and my body and face begins to change. Dermologica has an amazing range of products with varying ingredients to suit sensitive skin, oily skin, ageing skin etc and all come with a certain percentage of SPF and some with a matte finish which is perfect for me. It's oil-free, breakout fighting sunscreen that absorbs oil for a matte-free finish. It's brilliant for me as surprisingly enough at 28 years of age I still suffer from the odd pimple or two at least every month so the only oil I like on my face is Rosehip or Macadamia oil. While I prefer an oil free face, moisture is something that is also a huge necessity in summer, especially if you're prone to a little baking by the beach like me. Kosmea's everyday face moisturiser is what I'm currently using at the moment and it slides on smoothly, not thick and clunky allowing my makeup to be easily absorbed over the top. To assist in keeping my makeup fresh or if I need a refreshing spritz when down the beach, the Rose Mist is amazing and also makes the perfect travel partner to keep your skin moist and invigorated.
The second crucial product to see you through summer is a good tan and i've recently come across a new brand that promises a Brazilian glow, ahh Gisele Bundchen, yes please! MineTan's 1 hour tans are designed for the picture perfect finish, the party, the beach holiday and my favourite the way a tan can make me feel slimmer, more toned and gives me a healthy glow. I wake up on Friday morning (Thursday night's my tan night) and I say to my boyfriend, nothing feels as good as a tan does!
I'm such an advocate of the fake tan as it's healthier than being out in the sun every day, however, in order to ensure it stays around for a few days before I return to Miss pasty then body moisturiser is key and I adore the range from Burt's Bees which is perfect on tanned skin. Rich with milk and honey, it's radiant and creamy and keeps my skin, smooth, soft and supple. I also love the subtle makeup range from Burt's Bees with it's pale pink hues in lip balm and lip gloss, a perfect shade for summer when you're sans foundation and wanting a little colour to make you feel as though you could step outside the house and you wouldn't mind who saw you….
Another important element of one's body that is ze summer hair. Agree ladies? It can turn dry and brittle in over the course of the season and with all the swimming in chlorine maintaining the colour particularly when your hair is dyed is critical. I've recently started using Bed Head by TIGI and not because the blue bottle matches my interior (household) colour scheme but because I've found it ideal for my balayage hair (yes, the outfit pics were taken pre-hair change) and it smells amazing. I also believe it's good to change up your hair products once in a while to ensure your hair doesn't become used to one particular brand and therefore can easily absorb all shampoos and conditioners.
In order to celebrate the annual Livvy May sumer guide, I've teamed up with one of my favourite skincare brands, Kosmea to reward one lucky reader with the entire range of Kosmea products. That's over $450 worth of some of the most amazing products I've used on my skin (trust me). To enter simply head over to my instagram @livvy_may and follow the prompts:
Win the full range of Kosmea products by posting your best summer insta moments, tag #Kosmealove @livvymay and make sure you are following @kosmeaaustralia for your chance to win!
Seriously, it's that simple and in case you don't know what $450 worth of #kosmealove looks like, let me tease you…
Good luck lovelies and enjoy the summer season. Lotsa love, LM x x

Friday on the Dish, Andrew plumbed his motivations for supporting the Iraq War, admired Obama on Israel while remaining skeptical that he could make a difference, and prayed for David Kuo and his family. Turning his eye abroad, he wondered if Boris Johnson could reshape British politics, expected big green things from Francis, and endorsed outing a bishop whose hypocrisy couldn't be ignored.
In political coverage, the Supreme Court endorsed the right of resale and Marc Lynch called for Americans to have more perspective in their Iraq retrospectives while veteran Brandon Fielder allowed himself some distance. Overseas, we took a broader look at the implications of the Cyprus bank struggles, a young British blogger sorted through Syrian YouTubes, readers expressed skepticism about the comparison of Iraq and Hiroshima, and John Judis questioned the impact of Obama's speech in Israel.
In miscellaneous news and views, Douthat distinguished between men and women who delay marriage, readers debated the categorization of Trans surgery, and more education led to more time in the office while the rich donated less of their income. While civil disobedience went viral, Mark Kleiman favored swiftness and certainty over severity in punishment, a judge allowed the Aurora shooter to be drugged for questioning, and zero tolerance in the schools found zero support in the evidence.
Elsewhere, Phil Donohue blamed his MSNBC firing on the bottom line, a reader contributed their own book dedications, Marc Champion revealed how banning horse slaughterhouses led to more animal suffering, and Eduardo Porter capped our fossil fuel use. Parents judiciously doled out screen time, Brian Ries scored a smart watch, Drum distinguished between software and the cloud, and Adam Alter dressed to impress in his OKCupid pic. A laser forged an unlikely alliance in the MHB, we waited for Obama in the VFYW, and an Egyptian protest turned bloody for a member of the Muslim Brotherhood in the FOTD.
Rest of the week below the fold.
Thursday on the Dish, Andrew foretold trouble for GOP if they continued their anti-gay rhetoric, felt optimistic about Francis' influence on the Church, and provided a home for difficult pictures. In politics, conservative opponents of capital punishment hid in the shadows, congress trailed popular opinion on gay rights, and Charles Pierce railed on Ezra Klein's "unmitigated codswallop." While Obama visited Israel, his Israel speech wowed as Israelis and Palestinians diverged from a peace agreement. Elsewhere overseas, the Middle East heated up, Dahr Jamail showed us the human cost of the Iraq War, and Felix Salmon worried about Cyprus and the EU.
In assorted coverage, Kenneth Goldsmith transcribed history, publishing was always subject to the whims of the market, and we examined personalized book dedications. CentUp mixed micropayments and charity, Kyle Wiens wished that buying something meant you owned it, and Michael Hahn photoshopped a drone. As readers drilled down into the arguments on fracking, Eric C. Anderson looked to the stars for raw materials, and researchers miniaturized heart attack prevention. Fallows lost faith in Google products after Reader and Bozhan Chipev achieved equality through piracy as Twitter turned seven.
Meanwhile, Jenni Avins traced the rise of denim, Sharon Astyk spread the word about foster parenting, Emma Maris talked to the mellower marijuana crowd, while the last name debate crossed borders. Readers defended CNN's Steubenville coverage, Sarah Palin made an appearance on Inside the Actors Studio, and Alyssa Rosenberg gave Iraq War movies a thumbs down for missing context. We waited for spring to come to England in the VFYW, Paulo Wang painted with CGI in the MHB, and a baby bengal bared its teeth in the FOTD.

Wednesday on the Dish, Andrew struggled to come to terms with his support for the Iraq War, distinguished between Syria under Assad and Iraq under Us control criticized our marginalizing sectarianism in Iraq before the war, and waited for the NYT to come clean on their own role in the march to war. He viewed Obama's Israel visit through the prism of Washington's Farewell Address and could find no middle ground on Israeli settlements. Elsewhere, he called out closeted gays for their dereliction of duty and gave readers one more shot at picking Ask Me Anything questions.
In political punditry, Mark Kleiman removed the cultural divide from the marijuana debate while the NYPD wasted time on small-scale arrests. Seth Masket characterized party platforms as capable of evolution but not revolution, Ralph Reed separated doctrine from politics, and the White House threw out a red herring drone policy. A reader provided the mitigating context for Elizabeth Warren's Moore Award Nomination as we weighed Rand Paul's upside and updated nuclear policy for the post-Cold War era. In our continuing look back at the Iraq War, Karrar Habeeb chose not to memorialize the beginning of the failed Iraq War, while Richard Perle refused to look back and David Rieff rebuked those stuck in the neocon mindset. Overseas, Obama spread on the charm in Israel and Cyprus rejected the EU's bailout deal.
In assorted coverage, opinion dominated the cable airwaves while CNN missed the point on the Steubenville rapists. Readers added some thoughts on fracking's impact, Schneier pivoted from security to resilience. The Simpsons integrated itself into the fabric of our society, Reddit dumbed down complicated issues on YouTube, and Maureen O'Connor committed Netflix infidelity.
We polled readers on adopting a spouse's last name as women bore the lion's share of responsibility for messy houses, and Rajiv Srinivasan argued that veterans have it better now than ever before. Maurice Sendak penned his last book for lifelong fans, but David Cameron's plagiarizing subterfuge was old news. We dug up the first Hathos Alert from the archives and backed our way through the MHB, an Angela Merkel effigy burned in the FOTD, and fog shrouded Santa Monica from view in the VFYW.
Tuesday on the Dish, Andrew pondered the Iraq War's impact on American hegemony, glimpsed a second-best salvation for the GOP in activist judges, and was powerless to resist his beagles' charms. In political coverage, Douthat preferred justice to humility in the Catholic hierarchy and conservatives raced to get their marriage equality endorsements in under the wire. While Chait revised his odds for immigration reform, Joe Romm raged against the idea of "reversible" climate change.
On the 10th anniversary of the Iraq invasion, we wondered whether the Arab Spring would have swept up Iraq, and parsed the current support for the Iraq War. We gathered stories from the ground and reflected upon the human toll of the Iraq War in the FOTD. While Frum and Greenwald debated Halabi, a war criminal tweeted, the US stopped training Iraqi police despite continuing civilian casualties, and Iraqi refugees chose between a rock and a hard place.
In assorted coverage, Orlando Cruz KO'ed expectations for an out boxer, readers took another look at taking names, and Sarah Marshall deflated America's ego. Freddie deBoer traveled the long road home, Douglas Rushkoff maintained eye contact, and dog runners helped pudgy pooches slim down, while time crunches forced parents to make tough decisions and "Likes" replaced applause. Libraries faced a budget crunch, Evgeny Morozov praised imperfection, and a reader tired of our sponsored content coverage as Derek Thompson delivered some bad news for newspapers.
Elsewhere, vinyl wasn't worth it for Jason Heller, Rob Thomas filled in the details on the Veronica Mars movie, Ursus Wehrli balanced order and chaos. As we tasted the "pie-in-the-sky", reputation proved to be an important asset in the sharing economy, and App Academy invested in its students. As we reached back in the archives for our first hathos-filled MHB, recycling mesmerized in today's MHB, we visited Austria in the VFYW, and arrived at Victoria Station in the VFYW contest.
Monday on the Dish, Andrew continued to work through Washington's (and his own) failures leading up to the Iraq War, unpacked the latest polling data on marriage equality, and liked Francis as we filled in the details on his past. In home news, he dove into the details on our first month behind the meter and dissected the similarities and differences between the Dish and Veronica Mars.
In political coverage, Bill Clinton drastically underestimated the scope of the Iraq War, a Republican pot prohibitionist was forced out of the cannabis closet, and favorability for the death penalty declined in the face of bad PR. As Hillary voiced her support for equality, some readers saw an empathic deficit in Portman's sudden reversal on same-sex marriage, while others cheered his progress. Overseas, the Cypriot financial sector struggled through the weekend, with potentially dire consequences for the rest of Europe.
Elsewhere, Bjørn Lomborg pointed out the irony of Earth Hour and we debated resurrecting recently extinct species. Technological advancements graduated from the Defense Department to your kitchen and banished UFOs. Rebecca Davis O'Brien brought us along on her morning commute, Greg Beato employed big data in hiring and firing, while Chris Albon felt tied down by the digital record. Christine Haughney showed us that quality still matters in journalism, Google Reader's coming death opened up an opportunity for Twitter, and authors tried to game the Amazon rankings,
In arts and leisure coverage, Scott Tobias had his fill of formulaic documentaries, Steven Sodergbergh's latest film twisted us around, and while sound engineers spun audio gold from everyday noises, we were left with unanswered questions about the explosion of the Death Star. Amanda Nazario walked us through a day in the life of a dog-walker-for-hire, diet soda may be to blame for ballooning waistlines, and whiskey makers stretched their boundaries. We crossbred a horse and a naked mole rat in the FOTD, framed a frost-covered tree in the VFYW, and Ze Frank instructed us on the finer points of fecal flirting in the MHB.

This weekend on the Dish, Andrew marveled at Pope Francis's first press conference, shared the latest installment of his debate with Hitch, asked if Krauthammer would offer a retraction, noted an egregious example of Instapundit's use of sponsored content, and pondered the latest in Obama's drone strategy.
We also provided our usual eclectic mix of religious, books, and cultural coverage. In matters of faith, doubt, and philosophy, Andrew Byers sought a more substantive spirituality, Adam Kirsch traced the invention of religion, and Rachel Aviv remembered when the gods fell silent. A.N. Wilson noted C.S. Lewis's kinky side, Sam Tanenhaus profiled the controversial Catholic Garry Wills, and Marcus Mumford expressed ambivalence about the label "Christian." The Pilgrims proved to be fond alcohol, Giles Fraser unpacked the secularized Christian assumptions behind the belief in progress, and Ed Voves highlighted the spiritual side of the Pre-Raphaelite painters. Theodore Dalrymple categorized the varieties of pessimism, Stephen Asma defended favoritism, and David P. Barash outlined the convergences between evolutionary biology and existentialist philosophy.
In literary coverage, Tocqueville became a surprise bestseller in China, Justin E.H. Smith praised George Saunders's distinctly American idiom, and Andrea Barrett mused on the way writers don't feel at ease in the world. Francine Prose rejected her 7th grade teacher's writing advice, Alexis Coe looked at Virginia Woolf's tumultuous relationship with her servant, and Sara Davis ruminated on how we portray death's inevitability. Read Saturday's poem here and Sunday's here.
In assorted news and views, a reader sounded off on corporate feminism and the class divide, Evan Soltas described the graying of the workforce, and Jordan Weissmann wondered why private colleges need public money. Tessa Johnson revisited the first commonly prescribed tranquilizer, Christopher Ryan painted a dark picture of the future of human sexuality, and an adult film star gathered data about orgasms. Katie Arnoldi continued the conversation about cannabis not being so green, Matthew Power investigated the urban explorer movement, and Alex Cornell mapped ideal seating arrangements for dinner guests. MHBs here and here, FOTDs here and here, VFYWs here and here, and the latest window contest here.

2001 Diplomatico Single Vintage Rum (700ml)
Subscribe to stock alerts
Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
When conditions in the field concentrate the sugars in the cane, it favours the production of the very finest grades of rum.
2001 was one such vintage. This follows on from the superlative 2000 which ranked as one of the finest rums we've tasted to date. In choosing the reserves to blend for this release, Master blender, Tito Cordero was ultra selective. All components spent 12 years in x-bourbon and x-single malt whisky casks before being rested in Spanish Oloroso sherry wood. They represent some of the very finest spirit in the Diplomatico cellars. Like its more expensive sibling, it comes impressively packaged in a reverse tapered bottle, with a heavy set base and a cork inset into a weighty high quality metal stopper.

Do you like supporting Australian companies through your purchasing power?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then it is time you had a look at Black Dog Wear's range of purpose designed items.
I was first introduced to Black Dog Wear, soon after Whippet Boy came into my life and I payed a visit to Count Dogulas grooming salon and pet store in Moonee Ponds a wonderful establishment, run by proprietors anxious only to stock the very best and most practical of dog gear, including specialist training items.
I was seeking a few basics for my new puppy. I wanted to introduce him to clicker training and it was Black Dog Wear products, that could furnish my every need, from soft, durable puppy collars, to a great treat tote and on leash holder for doggy bags.
Later, when Whippet Boy became a rebellious teen, He was fitted with one of Black Dog Wear's highly effective head halters, to give me greater, but still gentle, control over his impolite antics.
For whippets and other sighthounds, martingale collars are ideal to avoid them slipping more conventional collars, due to their particularly long, tapering necks. If you have ever tried to purchase a martingale collar at a conventional pet shop, you are generally met with "a what"?
Yet martingale collars are great for many dog breeds. Like a choke collar they can tighten, should your dog need a little extra correction for pulling, yet, unlike a conventional choke chain, they will not quickly tighten and potentially harm. or even injure your dog's neck.
Black Dog Wear makes fabulous martingale collars. However it has been necessary to order my dog's martingale collar online, as it seems local pet stores, don't stock them and seem to give priority to selling items of often inferior quality, designed and manufactured off shore. Whether this is as due to ignorance about specialist collar options and their training merits, profit margins, or sheer ignorance of this great Australian company I am unsure.
However purchasing Black Dog Wear products online has proved easy and delivery is invariably prompt.
I like Black Dog Wear Products so much I can vouch for the merits of many items, through personal use with my own dog and other animals under my care as a pet sitter and pet stay host. Keep in mind I am just one of their many satisfied customers and not receiving any form of kick back to sing their praises. Nor is this a paid "infomercial", but a genuine testimony to their wonderful products and online order service.
Items I regularly use with Whippet Boy include his martingale collar, regular wide collar, head halter, a small doggie bag pouch that attaches to his leash, a brace lead I use when he is accompanied by one of our guest dogs on walks, his seat belt and travel harness, a spare seat belt for guest dogs and a hands free dog leash and belt.
Items I have purchased that are for humans, includes my treat tote and more recently, a doggie travel bag, for when we go away together. It has pouches for wet or muddy towels, an insulated section to keep our food cool and fabulous pockets to hold dog stuff like shampoos and a drink bottle. There is also room for his dog coats, a cushioned mat and dry food, along with sundry collars and a toy or two.
If you are looking for clicker and whistle training paraphanalia and manuals Black Dog Wear stocks these too.
I urge you to go online and peruse their catalogue of products.
I cannot recommend Black Dog Wear products highly enough!
