The Two Sisters
Auguste Renoir
The Two Sisters is one of the peaks of Renoir's artistic career and one of the most popular items in the Art Institute of Chicago. The painting was given its second title — On the Terrace — by the dealer and patron of the Impressionists Paul Durand‑ Ruel, its first and for many years only owner. The painter was evidently happy with this, the more so since his figures were not indeed related.
The work was painted at Chatou, which Renoir considered "the most pleasant of all Paris suburbs". Renoir and the friends whom he recorded in The Luncheon of the Boating Party (1880, Phillips Collection, Washington), in which the same stretch of river with its wooden banks serves as a background, still perceived Chatou as an ideal leisure spot. The Two Sisters, was painted on the same terrace of the Maison Fournaise as The Luncheon. It is believed that Renoir began The Two Sisters in April 1881 when he wrote to the critic Théodore Duret, "I am struggling with trees in colour, with portraits of women and children, and besides that I do not want to see anything…"
The year before on the same terrace Renoir had painted another girl, touchingly delicate, but lacking the charm of the new model (Girl on a Balcony, Cushing collection). This time he conceived a much more complicated composition and placed his subjects directly by the railing, obtaining the best structural interconnection of all elements. Renoir even included a clumsy tub of flowers, both for the sake of contrast and for greater compositional stability.
The Impressionists were painters of light and Light plays an exceptionally important role in the painting, glistening on the water, playing in the agglomerations of flowers and foliage behind the terrace, flashing out in the bud on the breast of the older girl and the chaplet of the younger and finally freezing in sparks in the eyes of both these charming heroines. The older girl's glowing scarlet hat, the resonance of colour that is expressively emphasized by the fresh green of the background, from the first rivets any gaze to the young face, its pure oval, tender skin, the beautiful eyes of a dreamer.
The Two Sisters was first presented to the public at the seventh Impressionist exhibition in the spring of 1882, together with such Renoir masterpieces as the Hermitage's Girl with a Fan, Girl with a Cat and A Box in the Opera (Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown) and The Luncheon of the Boating Party.
It is not known who posed for the younger "sister", but thirty years ago François Daulte, an expert on Renoir's work, established that the older girl was Jeanne Darlot (1863–1914). She was eighteen at the time. Soon she joined the Théâtre Gymnase where she acted supporting roles in comedies. The attractive actress quite often had her photograph in the papers. A decade later Jeanne Darlot had her début at the Comédie Française, but soon after she quit the stage. Evidently her theatrical career was not shaping the way she wanted. She did not marry either, becoming the kept mistress of a chocolate manufacturer, and later of an influential senator.
It is a special quality of the heroines of Renoir's paintings that they both resemble and do not resemble the models. Comparing photographs with the portraits it is obvious that in paintings they are immeasurably more attractive. Renoir's pictures are first and foremost paintings, and only then the motif or the personage. And his painting always contains a lofty image, yet one deliberately devoid of bombast, so that the artist could permit himself both humour and the play of allusions. Without remembering that, it is impossible to understand the detail in the bottom left corner of the composition that might at first glance be taken for flowers. There is little logical justification for such a detail, since the painting is set not in an interior, but in the open air. It has been suggested that the balls of wool appeared as Renoir's response to the insinuation of a critic who compared his painting to knitting. One of his masterpieces was described as "a weak sketch seemingly executed in wool of different colours". On the other hand, Degas wittily recalled the balls of wool. "Renoir," he said, "can do whatever he likes" and added, thinking of the wholly non-programmatic nature of his colleague's art, "You've seen a cat playing with balls of different coloured wool?"

Your body needs the essential mineral iron for your red blood cells to function properly as well as to transport and store oxygen in your blood and muscles. Iron also plays an important role in producing adenosine triphosphate, which provides your body with energy. Iron could have some benefits for you if you suffer from leg cramps, particularly at night. Talk to your doctor before taking an iron supplement to discuss the correct dosage and potential dangers.
Iron is an elemental mineral that is crucial to your blood, muscles, immune system and brain, according to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Your body stores iron in your bone marrow, muscles, spleen and liver, notes the University of Maryland Medical Center. In addition to an iron supplement, you can get iron from the foods you eat, including organ meats, red meats, shellfish, poultry, fish, green leafy vegetables, molasses, whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes and fortified cereals. People who are deficient in iron often develop anemia and can potentially suffer from fatigue and an insufficient immune system. An iron deficiency can also cause cramps in your leg muscles or restless leg syndrome, which causes discomfort in your legs when you're lying down or sitting, according to MayoClinic.com. Restless leg syndrome can cause cramping, tingling and aching in your legs that's usually relieved only when you get up and walk around.
Taking an iron supplement could relieve the leg cramps and other associated symptoms of restless leg syndrome, according to MayoClinic.com. This is true if your leg cramps stem from an underlying iron deficiency. In addition to treating leg cramps and restless leg syndrome, iron supplements are also commonly recommended for preventing or treating iron deficiency anemia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, fatigue or low physical performance and certain side effects of agiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor medications, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Iron supplements might also help to preserve health in people with HIV/AIDS, improve sports performance, improve mental function in women, treat menorrhagia or heavy menstruation and stimulate saliva production, states the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
The daily recommended intake of iron for adult males is 8 mg, while the intake for adult women ages 19 to 50 years old is 18 mg, according to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Women who are 50 years of age and older need only 8 mg of iron per day, while pregnant women require 27 mg daily. The common therapeutic dosage of iron for treating leg cramps and restless leg syndrome is 100 to 200 mg per day until your iron deficiency is corrected. Because iron toxicity is sometimes fatal, your doctor should monitor your iron levels while you're taking the much higher therapeutic dosage, warns the University of Maryland Medical Center. You should take only the amount of iron supplements prescribed to you by your physician to prevent an overdose.
Although an iron deficiency can cause leg cramps and restless leg syndrome, it isn't the only potential cause. Other causes of restless leg syndrome and leg cramps include pregnancy, peripheral neuropathy, kidney failure and a genetic predisposition to restless leg syndrome, reports MayoClinic.com. Keep in mind that taking iron supplements won't help treat your leg cramps unless you have an iron deficiency.
You might experience side effects such as stomach upset while taking iron supplements, but taking large amounts of iron can cause liver and intestinal damage, potentially leading to death, cautions the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Excessively high iron levels can increase your risks for heart disease, stroke-related brain injury, cancer and pregnancy complications. Iron can also interact with certain medications and supplements. Taking vitamin C supplements can increase your iron absorption, while taking iron with calcium, soy, copper, manganese or zinc supplements could impair absorption. Iron can also interfere with medications like allopurinol, stomach-acid reducers and proton pump inhibitors, colestipol, cholestyramine, bisphosphonates, antacids, oral contraceptives, tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, carbidopa, penicillamine, thyroid hormone, methyldopa, and levodopa. Perhaps most important, children are at a high risk for accidental iron poisoning and related death, warns the University of Maryland Medical Center. Always keep iron supplements out of the reach of children.

Unai Emery announces himself as new Arsenal manager ... then deletes it?
Ever had a new job that you couldn't wait to tell people about? Unai Emery seemed to be in that very spot on Tuesday night, anxious to break the news we've all been waiting for: He's the new Arsenal manager.
Yet he's just a little early on his proud proclamation.
The website unai-emery.com, which he lists as his official site in his Twitter profile, carried a large Arsenal crest, suave headshot and the text "Proud to be part of the Arsenal family." And then, just like that, it was gone, replaced by a big 404 error. Brilliant!
Unai Emery accidentally announced himself early, then just decided to take down his website. pic.twitter.com/vAJ6k9Hfkq— Jack Grimse (@JackGrimse) May 22, 2018
We're sure this is just an issue of timing, but it hardly bodes well for his tenure at the Emirates if he can't get a simple job announcement right.
Arsenal sources have told ESPN FC that Emery is set to be announced later this week after pipping current Manchester City assistant and former Gunners midfielder Mikel Arteta for the job. However, no official announcement has been made by the club, and judging by the haste with which Emery swapped a happy photo for no photo, he's going to wait for his new bosses to roll him out before rolling himself out.

As I perhaps return to the sub mediocre level of performance which I once had on this site I would prefer to have all my posts be my own entirely - but I think that I will liberate myself from that self imposed demand from time to time.
I have recently done a post on Oscar;s Beef Booze and Broads Steak House at the Plaza. Here is a video of this wonderful new restaurant, (and entrepreneurial adventure by former mayor and classic Las Vegas resident Oscar Goodman) which someone has just recently posted on YouTube.
It is very cool to see the inside of the restaurant on video, as I have not yet dined there.
I remember the location of this restaurant being shown in the movie Pay It Forward. It was a coffee shop in that movie. Perhaps it used to be; even though I live here, I have not lived here forever, and there are many places where I have not been.
Here is a cool short video though, and it's not mine, but I hope that you like it. I did.

Whether you are a student in school, a guy on wall street, or a mother of three, if you have a love for fitness, you may want to consider a career in personal training. If you have always been complimented on your physic or asked about your workout routine, then you may want to consider training others. In addition to making a sufficient amount of money, you can help others achieve their health goals while maintaining your own. If you are contemplating becoming a personal trainer in Canada, you may want to consider becoming certified in the craft.
Is Certification a Requirement for Personal Trainers?
Personal training is mostly unregulated in Canada, which means that anyone can technically refer to themselves as a personal trainer. While there are benefits to the industry being unregulated, such as its easy access, it can also become an issue. Although Canada does not require personal trainers to be certified, if you want to show your commitment to clients, a certification can go a long way. Certification in personal training can also give you a competitive edge over other trainers. Although certification for personal training won't guarantee that you will know everything regarding health and nutrition, you will gain a better understanding of how to deliver results to your clients. Although some countries require personal training certification, Canada does not. There is a multitude of successful personal trainers that are not certified in the craft.

06 Jul Stay safe these school holidays & enjoy the drive
Posted at 19:32h in Articles 0 Comments
The NSW School holidays are here. Many families are embarking on a long road trip or simply enjoy visiting many attractions and activities around town.
Travelling on our roads during school holidays can be more risky with people driving in unfamiliar surroundings or being fatigued.
Here are our top tips for making your car journey safer and more enjoyable:
- Car Safety: have your car checked and serviced by a professional like Walkers. Things to check include tyres. Do they have enough tread, and the correct pressure? Are all lights working? Also check brakes, engine oil, coolant and power steering fluid. If you are not sure where to start or are unsure – call Walkers Auto Electrics today on (02) 9907 1555 for a professional check. Consider being prepared in case you do get stuck with a first aid kit, a torch and a blanket.
- Driver Safety: Be rested and well hydrated before going on a trip. Make sure you bring plenty of water to drink and healthy snacks. Plan regular breaks to stay fresh and alert.
- Family Safety: If you are travelling with children check if you have the appropriate child restraint and if it is installed correctly. If you are taking your pet, you should also consider a safe pet restraint.
- Where are we? Familiarise yourself with the best and safest route. Plan places where you can stop, rest and refresh. Also plan in some flexibility – it will take the pressure off, if you encounter traffic jams or delays.
- Are we there yet? Fully charge all smart devices and pack some kids headsets. If you are packing toys, think about safety in case you need to break suddenly. Think about some fun games and activities to play along the way. Encourage your children to stretch and run around in a safe are when you stop along the way. Always keep a plastic bag and some whipes handy for those sticky little fingers.
Remember – you are on holidays. If you are prepared your trip will be safer, more relaxed and enjoyable for everyone! Always put safety first, be patient and enjoy your drive!

Applicable to: '90 - '97 '99 + 1.6 liter 1.8 liter
JL Audio Stealthbox... dual 8" subwoofer in fiberglass box right behind the hearrests.
Installation was short, I didn't find it neccesary to bolt it in, stays VERY secure with the cockpit brace bar I had to install(must be purchased seperately, oem is prefered). I bought this box off off ebay, already finished with black speaker cloth, so I'm not sure how matching the old carpet is that comes with it. When I bought it, it had no subs in it. (JL Audio 8w3v2's) I installed two Klipsch RW-8 subwoofer drivers I got off ebay in it and had to build an extender to raise the subs up(the magnet was touching fiberglass) Matched with a Kenwood 600 watt amp, this system is amazing. If you want to be the guy rolling down the street annoying the hell out of everything, DO NOT BUY THIS. If you want good, low, accurate bass in your fix, that can shake your heart inside the car, hit it up. Highly recommended, but the price is too high I think.
Overall... Pro's-nice sound quality, great decore, impossible to steal(if you install it all correctly, I didn't), great costumer service. Con's-over priced, other than that, none noted
Difficult to remove without leaving damage
I just installed the best subwoofer money can buy for the Miata. http://www.jlaudio.com/stealthboxes/miata.html I got it at Innovative Audio in Bellevue WA. http://www.innovativeaudio.com from Brian Mills. Brian it was worth the wait. I had a bad experience with the Car Toys people. I see that JL Audio has updated the web page and Good Guys is a dealer as well. It was $650 a bit pricey in an economy that is talking of layoffs and cut backs, but after I got it I was glad I did. The product is well built with attention to the look as well as the function.
My wife and I have had our Miata for 11 years. We had the stock CD/Radio/Tape system with added headrest speakers (Kenwood 3 1/2"). Well the CD player gave out and I was given the green light to "upgrade". So I replaced the door speakers with JBL P532 5 1/4 (Although I now understand that the P-632 6 1/2 will work.) I replace the CD/Radio/Tape system with the Blaupunkt Santa Monica. We chose it for its looks we did not want a flashy deck and I planed on using the 4 line level out puts to run external amps. I chose an ECLIPSE 3640 4 CH amp to drive the door and headrest speakers. (I might have gone with the Clearwater speakers but I did not find a place to get them until weeks later. I may still get the Clearwater headrest speakers, as the Kenwoods are 10 years old.) I also got an ALPINE MRV-100M for the Subwoofer once I found this JL Audio stealth box. So first I had to find a place to put the AMPs and run the wires. I could not believe how easy this all was. I cut a 1/4 inch square of plywood to fit on top of the spare tire. I mounted the ALPINE on the bottom side and the ECLIPSE on the top. The ALPINE (luckily) just fits nicely upside down in the spare tire, this keeps the whole set up from moving around. I ran all the wires under the carpet behind the passenger seat. There is a nice whole there. I put some foam around the wires to keep them from rubbing on the bodywork. It is so nice to have the battery so close to the AMPs it makes for very short power runs.
All this sounded very nice but I needed some base. I did not want to cut up my car. I wanted something that could punch out the sound and look good doing it. The fit and finish on the JL Audio box is out standing and the sound even better. It does require that you drill three 1/2 inch holes in the back deck to keep it from flying around. Read the web page warning.
Using HI-pass crossovers in the AMP I set the headrest to around 300Hz and the door speakers to 150Hz. The LO-pass crossover in the subwoofer AMP is at around 70Hz with a 24db slope. The car has a 90Hz resonance that you want to avoid. This seems to do the trick. I kept the JL Audio box at 6 ohms there was no need to go to 1.5 ohms. I can drown out everything else with the Sub as it is.
The music seems to come from every place in the car. The coolest thing I have found to listen to is a piece of music with lots of percussion. DEAD CAN DANCE with LISA GERRARD, she just won some Hollywood award for her work on Gladiator man what a voice. I first heard DEAD CAN DANCE at a PETER MURPHY concert as intro music. PETER MURPHY another great voice, is outstanding as well. It is like sitting in the middle of the drum set with different drums and symbols and the like. It sounds like they are all around you. This mixed with the vocals and bass guitar can be a very demanding music to reproduce with any clarity. The dace/techno stuff I listen to is easy you just need some good punchy base and a tweeter and you are good to go. (hehehe)
To give you an idea of how well this sounds. I compare every thing to my home system. http://www.martinlogan.com/prodigy_speaker.html and http://www.bkcomp.com/ref.html and http://www.bkcomp.com/stereos.html
I have the 7250 5 CH AMP.
Applicable to: '90 - '97 1.6 liter
A custom designed sealed bass enclosure specifically for the Mazda Miata. It contains 2 8W6 JL Audio speakers, a pre-wired box, three bolts/washers that secure it from the bottom.
The installation is a pain as you have to set up and drill three holes to secure the box to the car. If you have an '89.5-93 model you need to acquire a cockpit brace bar from a '94+ model. This is easy as many dump them when getting roll cages. Once installed and the cockpit brace tightened back down this box is NOT going to be stolen without doing serious damage to the car and enough to likely render the theft of the box useless. Sound wise the Stealthbox requires LOTS power. I use a Phoenix Gold ZX-250 to power it and it sounds wonderful, clean, clear, and sharp. I also use the LPL (Line Power Level?) controller on the amp as something of a second volume that only controls the Stealthbox. This little feature from Phoenix Gold allows me to enhance the sound of the music playing without overpowering the unit and also to kill the box completely when in residential area's at late hours or when going through area's where advertising the bass is not a welcome idea.
The unit retails for $800 in most places and is not supposedly an internet item. I managed to track down and pick up the unit for $469 new via the internet and had it to my door for $500 even. For $500 it's a fantastic deal! For $800 it's a LOT of money for what you get, but still the only real system for good sound. I have heard the tubes in the trunks, the small enclosures in the trunks, etc. It always sounds like the sound is coming from a car behind you and is more distracting than enhancing. The Stealthbox is only a few inches from your head but never overpowering and usually sounds like you are being bathed in the music. Would I do it again? Yes for $500 but not positive for $800. I have pictures of the unit along with other comments on it via my web-site. This also details the rest of the audio system as well as some changes that needed to be made to accomodate the rest. http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Factory/5029/Audio.html
Difficult to remove without leaving damage
Applicable to: '90 - '97 1.8 liter
2 8 inch subwoofers mounted in a fiberglass housing that is made especially for Miatas. It mounts behind the seats under the stabaliser bar
super sound no one would know it's there unless they own a Miata.
Great product
Dual 8" Package tray mounted subwoofer system.
Installation took about 2.5 hours and was fairly straight forward. The instructions were very detailed and the illustrations were a great help. I have a '91 so I had to purchase the '94 and up brace. Not a problem, but an added expense. This, however, turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it completely eliminated several rattles that my car had gained over the course of it's 140,000 mile life, and made the car feel much tighter as well. The unit integrates itself very attractively with the interior of the vehicle and, quite suprisingly, affords no loss of visibility through the rear window. The Sound? In a word, wonderfull. I'm not a bass freak, I like the music to have the balanced sound that one comes to expect from a high quality home system, with bass that's tight and deep, not boomy and loud. And that's just what I got with this product (plus it's very loud when you want it to be :-)...). Overall, I would rank this product high on my list of audio upgrades to the miata. The only drawback is the added weight and the price. It's a little expensive at $650 bucks but has the quality I've come to expect from JL.
Being an audio freak, I had finally given up on trying to get great
sound from my '91. In the course of it's life, my little Miata has seen everything from
custom built trunk mounted subs (extremely heavy), to a vain attempt at adding 6X9 woofers
behind each seat into the hollow areas on either side of the gas tank. My conclusion was
that, indeed, the best sound for this car is the wind as it rushes past your ears.
However, when I heard about the new JL's for the Miata, I knew I had to try just one more
time. After saving my peso's, I purchased the system at the local stereo dealership and
home to install it. I was a little suprised when I discovered that it had to be mounted to the package tray around the gas tank since I thought the cross brace was all it needed to stay down. On the upside, This makes the box almost impossible to steal, which is a major concern with any audio upgrade. The sound in my miata is now really quite amazing with my Boston Acoustic mid's and highs and the JL Sub driving the Bass. One note, It's a real power hog, so give it plenty. My 500 watt Phoenix Gold can more than handle it, but I'm a little concerned about the factory battery. That always was the weak link in the audio system, and now I'm wondering how long it will hold out. Another slight concern, Will I still be able to put that Hard Dog Roll bar that I've always wanted in now?
Custom, sealed-box, subwoofer for Model 1 Miatas using 2 8" JL 8w6 dual voice coil subwoofers. These are the top of the line JL subs w/ plastic cones and heavy magnets. The sub box itself must weigh about 40 lbs. If you're a weight fetishist Miatoid you may not be happy with this, but unless you're racing it won't make a difference, and the box needs to be this heavy to control the air pressure this sealed box sub is generating. The box is fiberglass with dark charcoal-grey carpeting which is a close match for the black Miata interior. The carpeting job is very well done.
Read the other reviews for details I won't repeat here. First, this is a top-quality product in terms of construction and quality of installation instructions (6 pages of instrs. w/ many photos). Installation requires drilling 3, 1/2" holes through your rear package tray area as well as removing and re-installing the side-impact (behind-the-seat) crossbar. The unit is bolted in by reaching into the "tunnels" on both sides of the gas tank from the trunk - you'll need loooong arms, or to crawl headfirst into the trunk to reach the front bolt holes you've drilled, but it's not horribly hard. Or, pay your car stereo dealer to install it, which will also give you a 2 year warranty instead of 3 months. Because 2 of the 3 bolts are through the aluminum package tray it is CRITICAL that you obtain the rear bar that came standard on '94 Miatas before installing this sub - failure to use the bar could result in injury if you were in a severe collision and the sub bolts or the sheetmetal they're anchored in failed. In addition you'll probably get better bass performance with the bar anchoring the sub to the rear deck.
The sub is rated at 400 watts RMS power. I'm powering it with 2 channels of my Aura 475 amp bridged to 160 watts @ 4 ohms, but the sub is shipped wired for 6 ohms so I probably only have about 120-140 watts RMS(you can rewire the sub to 1.5 ohms if your amp can take it). I was concerned that I might not have enough power to keep the sub happy on challenging CD material, but it's not a problem for most sane listening levels, and even some unsane levels - I can easily induce painful Sound Pressure Levels with the power I have, but even then the sound is clean.
JL suggests that you use an amp with a steep crossover of 18-24 db, but my amp has just 12 db and there's no distortion - however my amp is sending just 50 Hz and below to the sub, and 90 Hz and above to the front speakers. Leaving the 40 Hz gap is recommended by JL, so you should be sure you can do something like this with your setup. The nice thing about this sub is that it takes the load off your 5.25 or 6.5" door speakers which reduces the problems with vibration or buzzing in the doors. That plus you get truly great, musical, bass. If you want butt-pounding bass and you have the power this sub will deliver that too (just turn your tone control up). But I use it to provide the low end of the music that you don't get with door speakers alone. Examples of albums I listen to which exercise this sub are:
I'll stress it again so it's clear to you - this sub delivers both the very low frequency stuff as well as the Pop of a bass drum with equal clarity. I payed $700 including tax and installed it myself. The install takes about 2 hours on average if you're handy with tools, maybe a little less.
Oh, three points:
1) don't get this if you have a glass rear window and you want to be able to put the top down - you couldn't.
2) The factory tonneau cover snaps to snaps on the sub box so you can still use it. Instead of it being stepped in however, the tonneau is bulged out (looking sort of like you have one of those roadster hump kits under it). The rear window lays against the convex curved back of the sub when it's unzipped.
3) You can't use the aftermarket window protectors with this sub, but you can still use the center pockets that hang from the factory snaps. One side of the window rests against the carpeted sub, giving it significant protection from scratches, so you sort of get a partial window protector :-).
One other thing for those who wonder, the sub does not noticeably occlude the rear view even with the top up.
Difficult to remove without leaving damage
A subwoofer system for the Miata specifically
Just to back up the other review of the Stealthbox. The coloring almost matches the black interior of my '94, and people don't realize that I have the speakers there until I turn on the stereo. The two 8" competition level speakers (8W6's) put out a conservative claim of 400 Watts. But they are probably a lot higher than that!
I have an Orion amp that can meet the demands of the Stealthbox, but they kill my Kenwood 6.5" fronts that are running off my Sony head unit. I have to set the gain real high on the front to not get drowned out. But if you feel you can spend the money on the unit (with amp and installation we're talking $1,400.00 here!!), it is well worth it.
Custom made subwoofer containing two competition 8" JL Audio speakers. Mounts on rear deck, held in place by structual bar (1994 or newer) and 3 bolts on base. Does not interfere with top or rear window (if plastic) and is so custom for the Miata it has snaps for the tonneau cover as well.
Although pricey (almost $800 installed), the quality and quantity of sound is unbeleivable. I am using a relatively cheap amp (about 250watts) and the sound is unreal. With the top down going 75 miph ALL you hear is rich deep base. I have MB Quart door speakers and 4" kicker headrest speakers and although this system is not cheap, if you plan to have the car awhile, this sub-woofer is unbeatable. It can be found at the JL Audio web site under "Stealthbox" www.jlaudio.com or in brochures from your local dealer. I just can't emphasize how impressive this thing sounds.

White Paper: How Shipping Software Will Boost Your Business
Consumer expectations today are shifting to instant satisfaction. People want to know if the item they want is available, where it's coming from and how quickly they can get it. This puts a lot of pressure on businesses of all sizes and carriers as they all work together to achieve the same goal – getting shipments out to customers as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Adopting the right shipping strategy can give companies a competitive advantage, while providing an outstanding customer experience. And if handled the right way, a company's shipping function can be transformed from a cost center into a profit center.
However, cost-effective shipping is a challenge because each shipment can potentially involve multiple carriers with numerous levels of services and constantly changing rates. Intricate business rules and shipping restrictions for parcels that differ in size and weight, include anything fragile, hazardous or perishable, or are shipped outside of the country further complicate the process.

Update an old thrifted piece of furniture with a faux marble finish. It's much easier than you think and looks so real – no one would ever guess it's faux.
It's Upcycle It! month!
We're talking about upcycled projects all month long, and I'm so excited to share a few of my favorites with you.
I hope you're as excited as I am because I've got a very big confession of sorts to make – and I hope you're in the mood for a story because I have one of those too.
Settle Back, Get Cozy…
In all of my upcycling ventures, I have never worked with furniture!
I've wanted to, but I'll be totally honest – they've scared and intimidated me.
I've heard the tales of hours and hours of sanding, waiting between dozens of coats of polyurethane, and working with intricate details.
As much as I love to see fabulous remakes that other people have done, I just didn't see how I could afford the huge time investment.
Until the day I walked into my favorite thrift store and saw this:
Times are Changing
The poor thing was so ugly-beautiful. Do you know what I mean?
Someone had obviously tried their hand at doing something with her, but somewhere along the way she must have been abandoned, ending up amongst outdated framed prints, brashly upholstered couches, and a tangle of miscellaneous electronics.
That was her "ugly".
But those legs and shapely curves! That was her "beautiful" part, and after making my way around the store, I went back, grabbed her up, and tucked her heavy self under my arm. I wasn't expecting eleven pounds, but it was then that I knew I had a diamond in the rough.
And for just $10!
What Now?
I brought her home and did what any person in my situation would do: I begged for help!
Messaging my fun and talented furniture-upcycling diva friend, she gave me her "pat-on-the-back, you-can-do-this" seal of approval with just a few words: "I would paint that in a heartbeat!"
I already had a plan for where she'd go. For months I had been looking for a better plant stand than an extra kitchen chair.
This little lady would be perfect!
After a little makeover, of course.
Getting Started
She had one loose leg, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that all four came out with a little bit of effort. That would make painting a whole lot easier.
After a good sanding, I gave the top a coat of Kilz. (By the way, I used an electric sander, which is an absolute dream!) That wasn't so bothersome, but when I painted the first leg…
Do you know what I mean? No backing out now. I held on to that vision in my head, just hoping it was going to turn out the way I wanted.
Beyond Primer
I already had an idea of the finish I wanted – faux marble – and again did what anyone in my situation would do – I appealed to Google.
I found plenty of video and tutorial posts on getting the look I was after, but this one was my very favorite.
Getting started, I set to work with my base coat – a Valspar sample of Sugar and Cream in a satin finish.
Do you get those little sample jars for your smaller paint projects? They're fantastic! Inexpensive and plenty for a small project.
That's a Win-Win in my book!
I gave it two coats, sanding again after each one. This time I sanded by hand. It wasn't as tedious as I had thought, especially since I had given it a very good sanding at first.
My plan was to match the hearth as closely as I could. Sugar and Cream was perfect!
After setting the legs aside, I reviewed my favorite tutorial and decided I'd better just jump in and see what happened.
Faux Marble – The Veins
Every tutorial I read or watched used gray paint for the veins. They also used white paint.
Since I was trying to match my hearth, I took the idea and adjusted the colors. For the deepest veining, I used one of my favorite colors: Teddy Bear Tan by Folk Art, and blended it with a little water. I didn't measure but aimed for a 3:1 ratio of paint and water. After blending well, I was ready to jump in.
Using the tip of a feather, I made some diagonal squiggly lines with the paint/water mixture, extending over the edges and down each side.
The goal is to be somewhat random, but true marble has this diagonal pattern.
After I had enough veins, I used a dampened sea sponge to soften the lines. That made a huge difference!
Even though the hearth is dominated by golden tones, it still has shades of gray, so I did use it for smaller veining and accenting the main veins. Using a basic craft paint again, Dark Gray by Craft Smart (Michael's brand) I repeated the same technique with the feather.
A Veining Tip
It's really important to keep a light hand when applying the veins. Let the feather twist and turn as you go. This produces a more natural look than if you try to guide it so much.
Softening Up
The sea sponge is perfect for softening up the paint and making it look like it's actually a part of the wood – instead of just sitting on the surface.
To add a little more variation to the coloring, I used the same technique with one final color: Desert Sand by DecoArt. It added a depth that the other two colors alone didn't have.
Finally, I used the lightest color I had picked out, Bleached Sand by Deco Art, to add some blotching. This is another tip I picked up from my favorite tutorial. I didn't use a toothbrush as she recommends, however, but just used the end of the feather and pounced it on in random places.
After another sea sponge smear job, the top was almost finished!
Finishing the Top
Once the top was dry, I gave it a fine-grit sanding to make sure all of the paint was smooth, then gave it two coats of satin finish wipe-on poly sealer.
Those Legs…
The legs had their two coats of Sugar and Cream paint and had been patiently waiting for their makeover too.
I applied a coat of Valspar Antiquing Glaze (Moose Mousse), then wiped it off using baby wipes, a tip I learned from this video.
I actually found this technique to be more challenging than the marble technique for the top. Probably because I haven't worked with glaze before, but it's definitely something I plan to perfect!
The New, Faux Marble Look
And here she is with her brand new look! What do you think?
The End of the Story
So I told you at the beginning that this was a bit of a story as well as an Upcycle tutorial.
Just as she was ugly-beautiful sitting there all ignored in the thrift store, this project was scary-thrilling for me.
I wasn't sure I could pull it off.
I wasn't sure that the idea I had in my head would translate to that little old, ugly-beautiful stool.
Is it perfect?
Not even close.
I still need to work on my glazing skills and the top isn't perfectly smooth like real marble would be.
But there's a happy ending to the story…
I gave it a try.
I had an idea in my mind's eye and I stretched to see if I could make it happen.
And even if it isn't perfect, it's a big improvement over what she was before,
and I finally have that plant stand I've had plans for.
I hope you'll be inspired to try a new DIY you've never done before. Even if it doesn't turn out exactly how you planned (and I've had plenty of those), I'm pretty sure you'll learn a lot and you might even be happier with your project than with what you originally had in mind.

5 Stunning Colored Eyeliner Looks
I have a thing for colored eyeliner and the fact that I am not so perfect in applying eye shadow makes me addicted towards the colored eyeliner/ eye pencils even more! 🙂 A perfectly lined pair of eyes makes a huge difference in the overall makeup look! talking about myself, I look little unwell when I forget putting eyeliner on my eyes! :-p
I have a few pencil eyeliners in my stash as I am not so neat with liquid eyeliners! These cored eyeliners have taken the market like anything! You will have a wide range of kohl pencils, colored eyeliners in almost every drugstore brand which is available at a very reasonable price! There are few which are priced high but the amazing formulation of those pencil eyeliners certainly justifies the steep price!
Here I have some of my favorite colored eyeliner looks which I wanted to share with you all! This post is for all the colored eyeliner addicts! (Y)
Lakme Absolute Forever Silk Eyeliner Electric Violet
The shade electric violet unlike its name is a proper royal blue colored liner. It is one of the brightest blue liners available in the market. It is best suited for party make up as it is glittery and has a shiny finish.
The sparkles it consists do not fall out in any manner and is very safe even with contacts. The texture of this liner is very creamy and perfect. It glides onto the eyelids perfectly without tugging or pulling the skin apart.
Bourjois Clubbing Eye Liner 86 Bronze Dance Floor
The shade of this eyeliner very similar to olive green. If you are looking for something other than black then this is the color to start with. Bronze Dance Floor has golden shimmers in it. That is the real beauty of the shade. When wet this looks a little shiny. When completely dry, it looks more on the matte side.
Maybelline Color Show Crayon Kohl Peacock Green
The shade Ocean Blue to me it is more like a sea green shade rather than any peacock green color. It has some turquoise shimmer in it which adds oomph to this shade and makes it different from the other shades in this range. The Color Show Eye Liners have got very smooth and creamy texture. It glides on without much efforts and works decently well at application.
Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner 002 Sparkling Black
Sparkling black is a shade true to its name and it bears visible shimmers when swatched on the skin. The pigmentation is quite superb in a single swipe and tends to a vibrant look on the eyes. The sparkling shimmers make it look almost greyish. The texture of this kohl eyeliner is rich & creamy and tends to glide easily on the crease of the eyes. Some shades of the range are matte while some bear a subtle sheen or sparkle which looks great when applied on the eyes.
Maybelline Hyperglossy Electrics Eyeliner in Electro Shock
The shade is a true royal blue with a rich sheen- not shimmer or glitter but just a lovely sheen . The shade instantly perks up the face and elevates a simple liner- lipstick look to a whole new level. The pigmentation is good but to get the full intensity of the color you need two swipes. The liner goes opaque in 2 swipes and looks adorable on the eyes.
I really loved these stunning eyeliners and looking for some more awesome shades to get few which will suit me! Tell me which one of these did you like the most?
Have you tried these colored eyeliners before?

Agent Tips comes right from the desks of our all-star, veteran agent team. Read all of our Agent Tips.
Why do I need an agent?
by Alive agent Lisa Jackson
You certainly don't need an agent to be a writer, but if you want to be a published writer with a major house, develop professionally as an author and communicator, and increase your earning potential, then yes, you need an agent.
A literary agent serves as your representative to the publishing world. As the premier literary agency for faith-based and inspirational writing, Alive has earned a stellar reputation among all of the top publishers in the industry. Because of our proven track record of success, we communicate directly with the key decision makers and are able to get our manuscripts to the top of the stack for immediate review. We are also opening major new doors in Hollywood with film and TV producers.
But not all agents are created equal. When you sign with an agent, you should expect:
- Industry knowledge: A good agent knows the ins and the outs of the publishing world and can help you navigate the shifting trends within the industry. At Alive, all of our agents have come out of a publishing background, bringing with them many years of in-the-trenches experience. We know how to talk to publishers because we've been there.
- Editorial expertise: Since your proposal is often your only chance to make a first impression with a publisher, you want it to be absolutely killer. Alive agents are all wordsmiths at heart with serious editorial cred. We love nothing more than helping you develop, shape, and craft a can't-put-down, gotta-keep-reading proposal that generates a contract quickly.
- Enthusiasm and support: Your agent will be your number one fan. We will be your encourager when you're struggling with writer's block or the pressure of deadlines. We'll be your cheerleader when you're headed for a slam-dunk. Agents can talk to publishers about how awesome you are and what an incredible book you've written in a way that's far less awkward than when you do it yourself.
- Negotiation skills: Agents work hard to secure the best financial package and overall terms possible for their clients. But contract negotiation is about a lot more than just getting top dollar. Alive agents and our internal counsel are well-versed on every kind of publishing contract imaginable, and have the experience and legal experience necessary to ensure that in every case, our authors' interests are protected.
- Professional insights: A great agent takes the long view on your career. At Alive, we place a high value on long-term relationships. Our authors trust us because they know we see the big picture when it comes to their future. It's our greatest passion to come alongside today's leading voices and partner with them as they impact culture and transform the lives of future generations.

Wow, just a couple of weeks ago, I reported that Apple's share price has soared past $500. At that time the share price was at $468, and had begun to soar past $470, $480, and $490. Following today's release of invitations to the company's March 7th event for iPad 3, Apple's share price had closed the day up $9.65, or 1.84 percent, which made Apple's market cap very close to $500 billion. Market cap is the value of a company.
To put that in perspective, the company that used to be the world's valuable company (Exxon), was worth $411 billion as of Tuesday afternoon, or $90 billion less than Apple. Better yet, Apple is now worth as much Toyota, Volkswagen, Daimler, Honda, Ford, Nissan, and GM combined! The share price has been rising ever since they reported blowout earnings for the first fiscal quarter of 2012. In fact, just three months ago, Apple's share price was nearly $200 less.
I'd also like to once again point out Google's share price growth, but wait! It isn't seeing a significant increase at all. In the past three months, GOOG has seen an increase of only 5%, while AAPL has seen an increase of 42%! If marketshare meant everything, why is GOOG struggling to see growth, while AAPL is seeing phenomenal growth?
Clearly, Apple's doomed and is just a fad.

Pop culture icon and the "Queen of Tejano music" Selena Quintanilla Pérez will be inducted into the Texas Women's Hall of Fame this fall.
The Governor's Commission for Women announced the 2016 inductees on Thursday, and an induction ceremony will be held on Oct. 21 at Texas Woman's University in Denton. Selena will be inducted along with four other Texas women including aviation pioneer Emma Carter Browning, entrepreneur Susie Hitchcock-Hall, University of Houston president Renu Khator and Ginger Kerrick, a division chief of the Flight Operations Directorate Integration Division at NASA's Johnson Space Center.
"I am honored to welcome these five extraordinary women into the Texas Women's Hall of Fame," Gov. Greg Abbott said in a news release. "Whether in public service, the arts, business or education, these leaders have inspired generations of Texans to reach new heights, achieve new goals and elevate the Lone Star State. I would like to thank each of the honorees and their families for their enduring contributions to the State of Texas."
For Selena, the Texas Women's Hall of Fame news comes after a slew of posthumous honors this year. In June, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced that the superstar will receive a Hollywood Walk of Fame star in 2017. In July, Madame Tussauds Hollywood announced plans to immortalize the legend with a wax figure.
Fans will have more to celebrate in October when M.A.C. cosmetics releases the limited-edition Selena makeup line.
On March 31, 1995, Selena's former fan club president Yolanda Saldivar fatally shot her at a Days Inn motel in Corpus Christi. But for many fans of the Tejano superstar, who was on the brink of crossing over to the English-language music market, Selena's legacy lives on. Fans will celebrate her life at the third annual Fiesta de la Flor festival in Corpus Christi on March 24-25, 2017.
"Selena's story transcends cultural differences and continues to inspire people around the world," according to the Texas Governor's Commission for Women. "She is remembered as an icon for her musical accomplishments as well as for the joy that the memory of her charismatic personality continues to bring to her fans."

Riots and Heartbreak in Jerusalem following the murder of three Israeli teenagers and one Arab, suspected as being a retaliatory attack.

Anger. This is the feeling pervading Jerusalem at the moment, both East and West.
The bodies of Gilad Shaer (16), Naftali Frankel (16), and Eyal Yifrah (19), were found partially buried just outside Hebron last Monday, having been abducted and murdered. The Israeli government are holding Hamas responsible though thus far they have not claimed responsibility. Heartbreak and despair could be felt in the air as the news spread.
However, sadness soon gave way to hatred as an angry mob of right-wing Israeli extremists descended on Jerusalem on Tuesday night, calling for revenge and "death to Arabs". Several IDF soldiers have been imprisoned for their part in encouraging retribution via various social media platforms. At least seven Arabs had to be rescued from mobs in West Jerusalem on Tuesday night following the teenagers' burial. Some even entered McDonalds in an attempt to find Arab workers. More than 50 people were arrested.
Anger is also being directed towards the police; a recording has been released of Gilad's phone call minutes after the kidnapping took place. Shots were heard, along with cries of jubilation from the kidnappers and of pain from the boys. Despite the police being in possession of this recording, the Israeli public and the families were led to believe that the boys were alive during the two week search. Israeli police have said that they thought the shots fired may have been blanks.
Several peace marches have been held over the past two days in Israel in opposition to those calling for revenge, however many pacifists holding signs with declarations such as "Stop the war in Gaza" and "Arabs and Jews are brothers" have been faced with intimidation by right wing counter-protesters in Jerusalem. The two men suspected of having committed the abduction and murder are in hiding, and their homes have been partially demolished by the IDF. Netanyahu and his cabinet have been considering how best to respond to the situation, reportedly proposing a wave of settlement building in the West Bank, with one settlement to be named after the three youngsters. Economy Minister Naftali Bennett preferred a two-pronged approach which would include a military operation against Hamas, as well as settlement building. Cabinet could not come to a unanimous decision, thus the vote on both these issues has been postponed.
East Jerusalem has exploded in riots and violence following the murder of a 17 year old Arab boy from Beit Hanina in East Jerusalem. It is widely believed that this killing was in retribution for the killing of the three Israeli teenagers, although the possibility of it being a domestic issue or "honour killing" have not been ruled out by police. The boy, Muhammad Abu Khdeir, was allegedly bundled into a car early on Wednesday morning by a group of men. Local reports claim that they were settlers, and that police have CCTV footage of the incident. His body was found later partially burned in the Jerusalem forest. It has also been reported that there was an attempted abduction of a nine year old boy from the Shuafat area of East Jerusalem, and of a seven year old from his mother's side in the street. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned the "reprehensible murder", and the family of one of the murdered Israelis, Naftali Frenkel, released a statement saying "There is no difference between blood and blood. Murder is murder, no matter what the age or nationality is. There is no justification, forgiveness or atonement for such a murder".
Meanwhile, southern Israel has been hit by a barrage of rockets in the past week, the majority being intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome system, but others making direct hits, such as one yesterday which hit a factory, and two hit homes today (Thursday), but with no casualties. The Israeli military has been bombing Hamas targets overnight, with a reported 30 airstrikes in 30 minutes on Wednesday night. Thirty rockets from Gaza have hit Israeli in the last twenty-four hours according to the IDF. Troops have also been moved towards the border with the Gaza strip as a "defensive measure"; Lieutenant Colonel Lerner said in a statement: "Everything we are doing is to de-escalate the situation but on the other hand to be prepared if they don't de-escalate."

Tensions are high in Jerusalem tonight with police sirens blaring out over the city. What sounds like gunshots can be heard and helicopters are hovering overhead. Fires are burning near the central Damascus Gate, allegedly caused by fire bombs thrown from rioting youth from the Shuafat and Beit Hanina areas. There are fears that violence could escalate both tomorrow after Friday prayers (in the holy month of Ramadan), and also following the burial of Muhammad Abu Khdeir, which is also due to be held on Friday.

Review by Stephen M.
A Violent Prosecutor which stars Hwang Jung-Min as the titled character, Byun Jae-Wook reminds me a lot of Mel Gibson's darker violent movies like Payback and Ransom. Blending action, comedy and drama into a perfectly crafted revenge vehicle solely to entertain and for the most part, A Violent Prosecutor doesn't disappoint.
The movie has buddy comedy elements as Byun Jae-Wook meets Chi Won in jail, and they develop a bond over Chi Won's involvement in an incident that led to Jae-Wook's imprisonment. Chi Won played by the youthful Kang Dong-Won is Eddie Murphy, to Hwang Jun-Min's Nick Nolte. That is a bit of an exaggeration on Dong-Won, as while he has his moments in the film, it is Jung-Min that really shines in the film.
Overall the film is a great film to watch, if you enjoy buddy films, or revenge films that includes some legal proceedings that requires a bit of thought. The film is pretty straightforward, with predictability which is their only shortfall. However, I would say to still give this film a shot as you would be entertained by Chi Won's silliess or Jae-Wook's methodical approach to uncovering the truth even if it's with fists. The film plays at the New York Asian Film Festival on July 8th 2016.
