I went on a mad hunt last weekend to find the best shampoo for my oily hair with dry ends (combination hair). Believe it or not, there are not many shampoos in the supermarkets in NZ - Pak n' Save, Countdown, New world or even in Farmers (I did not try the high-end shops like shampoo … Continue reading GARNIER | Oily Roots Dry Ends
Do you know your hair?
As a teenager, I had pretty thick, long and healthy hair. All I did then was to use a shampoo that my mum bought and oil the hair pretty often. But as the years go by, I have lost quite a bit of it, and also the texture has changed; Oiling is not that frequent … Continue reading Do you know your hair?
Dry Shampoo showdown!
Hello fellow beauty lovers, Welcome back to Sithru Beauty! In my previous post, I shared with you what dry shampoos are and how they work. Today I am going to talk a little about the different dry shampoos I have used which I bought in-store in New Zealand. The choice is very limited in NZ … Continue reading Dry Shampoo showdown!
All about Dry Shampoo!
Dry shampoos are used in between washes to keep your hair refreshed and oil free. This is one of those products that has become a necessity in any beauty-junky household. However, selecting the perfect dry shampoo is an ordeal especially if you have darker hair like I do...

Located at 22nd & Wyandotte in the Freight House District
The Art of Great Barbecue in Kansas City's Freight House District
Jack Stack Barbecue Freight HouseCreating and serving authentic Kansas City barbecue to give every guest a remarkable BBQ experience is Jack Stack's mission. Pursuing this mission has earned Jack Stack recognition as Kansas City's most popular barbecue restaurant. Nationally, Jack Stack ranks among America's Best Restaurants in the Zagat Survey and its BBQ is consistently among Zagat's highest-rated.
A Kansas City Institution
What has made Jack Stack BBQ authentically Kansas City? It began in 1957 when Russ Fiorella opened his first restaurant in the city, serving only a few items. Russ's son, Jack, helped run the business for 17 years and then opened his own place.
Jack and his wife, Delores, started using gourmet hickory wood and insisted on maintaining the tradition of cooking in a brick oven pit. They expanded their offerings and soon had the most extensive barbecue menu in the country. They also expanded their locations to four. But through it all, Jack Stack has kept its Kansas City style, with original rubs and sauces that say, "Welcome home, barbecue lovers."
Catering to Barbecue Fans
Jack Stack's full-service catering helps ensure that any event is a success - indoors or outdoors, no matter how elegant or informal. Our broad catering menu means there's something for everyone.
Jack Stack Catering provides a range of services, from simple delivery to a personal catering specialist to help schedule the event date and venue, assign staff and deliver the food and utensils. And, of course, there's that savory, hickory-smoked BBQ with delicious side dishes. It's a sure-fire crowd pleaser.
Now Serving the Nation
Great barbecue can't just stay at home. It has to go places. So Jack Stack ships the same award-winning Kansas City BBQ served in its restaurants to fans around the country. For gifts and gatherings of all kinds anywhere, Jack Stack has the perfect meal, including delicious side dishes. More than 40 meal packages can be found at JackStackBBQ.com.
Each Jack Stack restaurant guest receives 10% off any online or catalog order for nationwide shipping (redeemable for shipping orders only for merchandise purchases only; restrictions apply).

Absolutely delicious food, and one of the best, most personable bartenders in the city (Adam H.) The FreightHouse location has a great vibe and ambiance to it and you often spot celebrities in there who are in town for a concert, sporting event, or movie filming.

As an employee of the Metro, we hosted the International Bus Roadeo and APTA conference in KCMO a few weeks ago to approximately 1,000 visitors. We recommended Jack's Stack Freighthouse to many of the visitors because of its convenient downtown location close to the convention. Our visitors from all over USA and Canada raved about the food and the service. Thank you Jack Stack for maintaining your high standards and doing Kansas City proud!

I took two of my out-of-town guests who were looking for some "Kansas City barbeque!" They were thoroughly impressed! From the meaty ribs, to the creamy cheesy corn, to the most flavorful sauces... every aspect of our meal was just what they were hoping for!

21, New York
What began as a speakeasy in Midtown during Prohibition has become one of the most historically significant dining destinations in the country. The three restaurants and ten private rooms serving fine American cuisine have seated every president from Eisenhower to Bush Jr. and most of Hollywood Royalty (including Bogart and Bacall's first date). Even the kitchen served as the site of clandestine affections of Ernest Hemingway and the girlfriend of gangster "Legs" Diamond. Whether you dine on fine American cuisine in the Bar Room beneath the toy-covered ceiling or have cocktails by the wood-burning fireplace at Bar '21' and Lounge, casual dress is not permitted. The same goes for the Upstairs Room, where the salon-inspired atmosphere and Wynne Evans murals have become a popular backdrop for marriage proposals.

Auto-Email Personalization and Multiple Product Boards Gives Customer Focus Users a Boost
Auto-Email Personalization and Multiple Product Boards Gives Customer Focus Users a Boost
Costa Mesa, CA: A leading website and software provider to the promotional products industry, Customer Focus, has announced two key upgrades to its Standard and Ultimate solutions: in product research, distributors can now create 'Favorite' product boards, facilitating faster presentations and quotes, and on the customer facing website, all order and inquiry emails can be fully customized.
Every time an inquiry or order is placed on a distributor's website, both the distributor and the customer receive an automatic email acknowledgement. Now this email is fully customizable, allowing the distributor to add their logo, color scheme, and layout, as well as adding their personal touch to the wording.
This functionality is available on each individual website, so if a distributor has several company stores, they can tailor the language and branding to each client.
In the product research section, distributors can now place any product into a 'Favorite' group, i.e. Best Sellers Under $1, or Top Conference Giveaways. All of the products within a group can be added to a presentation, quote or order with one click, allowing for much faster response times for frequently requested ideas or suggestions.
There is no limit to the number of Favorite groups a distributor can create, and no limit to the number of products which can be added to each group.
Julie Henderson, President of Customer Focus, comments: "Our customers are ambitious and dedicated, and our goal is to provide them with a competitive advantage. What that means is that our solutions continually evolve, based on the latest technology available, customer feedback, and best practice.
"We're delighted to be able to deliver these new features, which facilitate better customer service, both in terms of response time, and in personalizing distributors' email messages to suit their client base."

Nigel Williams presents My Taste with Bibendum Wine, a series of programmes interviewing renowned chefs and restaurateurs. Nigel will chat to the guests about their love of food and wine, discovering their favourite restaurants, wines and dishes, to give you the inside track. Our latest guests are the Hart brothers, Sam and Eddie, tapas kings and the brains behind the highly successful Fino and Barrafina restaurants.
Spanish brothers Sam and Eddie Hart have literally been brought up in the restaurant business. Their father is the well-known hotelier and restaurateur Tim Hart, owner of the legendary Hambleton Hall Hotel, whose restaurant has maintained a Michelin Star for over 20 years. Mix that in with all the influences from cities they have lived, including Mexico City, Madrid and Barcelona and you get their restaurants, Fino, Barrafina and Quo Vadis.
Determined to bring quality modern tapas to London, the Hart brothers set up Fino in 2003 with the aim of offering the best of both Spanish and British produce. Barrafina opened four years later delivering an authentic tapas bar experience and then came Quo Vadis in 2008, in which the brothers lovingly restored one of London's most iconic and beautiful buildings to its former glory. In July this year the brothers opened their latest venture, a new Barrafina in Adelaide Street, Covent Garden.
Bibendum's Wine Picks for Sam and Eddie
A fan of dry sherries, Bibendum selected the Delgado Zuleta Rodriguez La-Cave Manzanilla Barbiana NV for Sam. Manzanilla is the lightest, driest and most delicate form of Sherry, coming from a Spanish coastal town called Sanlucar de Barrameda. This is a wonderfully bright, light and refreshing example of a Manzanilla with fresh citrus aromas and flavours of dried nuts. It's light with a tangy nutty palate and should be served slightly chilled. Perfect as an aperitif.
You can buy the Delgado Zuleta Rodriguez La-Cave Manzanilla Barbiana NV here.
Eddie's a big fan of game at this time of year so Bibendum chose the Marcel Lapierre Morgon 2013 from the Beaujolais region as a good match for gamey flavours. This is a fantastic example of a gamay wine made in the classic Beaujolais style. Dry, light and fruity with lots of spice and floral flavours coming through. It's light with great texture and smooth tannins. It would make the ideal wine to drink with the Christmas turkey.
You can buy the Marcel Lapierre Morgon 2013 here.
Find the wines you love
Discovering the wines you like can be tricky. That's why Bibendum developed the grape app Plonk. Plonk starts with grape varieties and wine styles, helping you to understand the flavours you like as well as making suggestions of something similar to try. With Plonk in hand you'll be equipped to pick the wines you love in shops, restaurants and pubs.Plonk at the Apple Store Plonk at Google Play Plonk at the Windows Store
Bibendum is one of the leading independent drinks suppliers to restaurants, pubs, bars and hotels across the UK. You'll find our wines and spirits in neighbourhood bistros, Michelin-starred restaurants, stylish bars and classic hotels up and down the UK.
"From house wine to Haut-Brion" as one of our customers put it, Bibendum has an award-winning range at all price points. It focuses on providing outstanding quality and value across the range. In addition to wine, there's a fantastic range of spirits and craft beers and the recent addition of an exclusive range of sake.

A new map and atlas showing the different types of regolith found in the Northern Territory is now available to mineral explorers.
Containing new information about the blanket of soil, sediment and weathered rock, known as regolith that covers vast areas of the Territory, the map and atlas provide a new insight into the regolith geology of the Northern Territory.
The map and atlas are the culmination of almost three years of collaborative work between the Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Environments and Mineral Exploration (CRC LEME) and the Department of Primary Industry, Fisheries and Mines' Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) .
CRC LEME Chief Executive Officer Dr Steve Rogers said the map and atlas contain the first comprehensive dataset of spatially located regolith information for any Territory and State in Australia.
"The Atlas contains more than 600 colour photographs, as well as geochemical data tables and particle size distribution diagrams of the major regolith materials found in the NT," Dr Rogers said.
Project expertise was provided by CRC LEME partners Geoscience Australia and CSIRO , with NTGS participating in field work, data collection, project and logistical support.
NTGS Director Richard Brescianini said "The atlas and map are invaluable guides for mineral explorers considering the prospectivity of the largely under explored Northern Territory, much of which is covered by regolith."
"The atlas and the regolith-landforms map will also be useful resources for land resource assessors, engineering geologists and environmental scientists working in the Territory," Brescianini added.
Free copies of the electronic atlas can be ordered from NTGS.
Hard copies can be purchased from CRC LEME for $90 (incl GST).

Over the past 30 months, Redeemed Seasons has managed the difficult financial landscape of a nonprofit startup. By combining revenue from services with the generous financial support of our community and with our personal life savings, we have funded and established Redeemed Seasons, creating a responsive and impactful ministry player in the Colorado Springs area.
As our personal savings dwindled, we began to implement financial changes to assure that RSM remains viable over the coming years. We have worked diligently to restructure the ministry's monthly operating expenses and our own monthly living expenses, as principals, to reduce what it costs to keep the lights on — to do the work of Redeemed Seasons on a monthly basis. On both the ministry front as well as the personal front, we are making ourselves as lean and efficient as possible.
Still, there is a gap between what we need to sustain the ministry and what currently comes in.
In order to staff and operate RSM over the next twelve months, we must generate $2,500 per month in new recurring donations. That's not a huge number: just $30,000 in new contributions for the next year. Those funds will enable us to do the following:
- Provide spiritual direction and soul care services to men and women without regard to their ability to pay;
- Offer our In the Trenches equipping workshops for churches and small group leaders at no cost to the participants;
- Continue to engage with our local church community as a no-cost resource supporting the design and integration of soul care and discipleship programs within the church; and
- Finish the transformation of our FORGE program into book form, so we can scale our discipleship offerings to reach many more groups in many new churches.
This is important work! Would you support our efforts? Would you consider joining us as a financial contributor?
Every contribution helps; every monthly donation makes a difference for our bottom line! Can you afford $25 a month? $50 a month? $150 a month? We want everyone who knows us and believes in the work we're doing to partner with us in this ministry. Please consider joining us.
You can set up a recurring donation or a one-time contribution to Redeemed Seasons through our website at http://redeemedseasons.org/donate.
We are also publicizing our support campaign through Facebook, and you may partner with us by clicking the donate button on our FB page at https://www.facebook.com/redeemedseasons/.
All donations to RSM are tax deductible. We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Thank you!

Governments are having todeal with economic and politicalupheavals in the wake of financial crises,which reverberate across the globe. In a new atmosphere of fiscal constraint, policy will bedictated by the ability to find solutions to socialproblems that deliver value for public money, andincentivise or leverage private investors and businesses.In an age of austerity, costly and inefficient policies areno longer acceptable to taxpayers.Yet underneath these clearly man-made global crises,an even larger man-made planetary one continues togrow. Climate change demands the attention andaction of policymakers and citizens, whether theyrecognise it today or not. The problems for our environment and our economicand development goals do not move as quickly asthose caused by the short-run economic volatility feltevery day, yet they contain the potential to cause evengreater catastrophes. The scientific consensus showsthat taking action against anthropogenic emissions isnecessary, and it should be a common cause forgovernment and business.These economic and environmental challengesinteract through government policy, which needs todeal with both of them at once. There is an increasingneed to find a policy instrument for public goods thatachieves the targets in a cost-effective manner. When it does not matter where these public goods areachieved, markets provide the greatest opportunity toachieve them cost-effectively. The InternationalEmissions Trading Association (IETA) is the primarymembership organisation for business which isdedicated to promoting the use of carbon pricing andmarkets to deal with the public good of reducinggreenhouse gas emissions. Cap-and-trade has been unfairly vilified by thosewhose real target is the need to do anything at all onclimate change. The alternatives of expensive andinflexible "one-size-fits-all regulation", or subsidiesthat taxpayers cannot afford, to support technologiesthat bureaucrats should not be picking, are well-knownto be worse. Cap-and-trade is incentive-based and relies uponindividual firms undertaking investments andstrategies to minimise the cost of achieving a definedenvironmental target. The combination of certainty ofachieving the desired result, alongside the freedom forcompanies to achieve reductions as they see fit, makecap-and-trade the most efficient option available forclimate policymakers.The failure of the US cap-and-trade legislation last yearhas led to collective political amnesia in that countryabout the scientific and economic realities of climatechange and how best to combat it, and the impact is feltall over the world. But there are many current examplesof carbon markets that demonstrate the economicadvantages of cap-and-trade, continuing to justifyIETA's belief that the future will inevitably becomecarbon-constrained, and the constraint will be tradable. Europe's Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is theworld's largest carbon market, covering what is still asignificant and proportion of global emissionsreductions. The third phase of the scheme is beingfinalised and IETA is engaged in policy design andprocedures with policymakers at the European level.PROMOTING MARKET MECHANISMS TO ADDRESSCLIMATE CHANGE092CARBON FINANCEHENRY DERWENT, PRESIDENT AND CEO, INTERNATIONAL EMISSIONS TRADING ASSOCIATION (IETA)T

When I first started working in medicine I was the Medical Director of an outpatient mental health clinic. We had a staff of 8 psychotherapists, 2 nurses, and 2 case managers. There were three transcriptionists to type up all of our notes. Every person I saw had a typed note to document the encounter and all of the charts were paper. There was no electronic health record. If a person needed a prescription, I would write one or call the pharmacy and that was the end of it. The majority of my time was spent speaking directly with patients and I could generally do all of the dictations in about 2 hours per day.
After three years I moved to a hospital setting. There were three inpatient units with 6 psychiatrists and two transcriptionists. One of the transcriptionists specialized in paperwork specific to probate court proceedings. There was an additional pool of transcriptionists available 24/7 on any phone in the hospital for immediate documentation of any clinical encounter. The admission notes were typed on two or three sheets and inserted in the chart. Daily progress notes were typed on adhesive paper and pasted into the chart. After I signed the note, a billing and coding expert came through and submitted a billing fee for the work that had been done. The same process was in place with pharmacies. Call them or send them a written prescription and it was taken care of. Every Sunday I would go to the basement of the hospital in the medical records department and sign all of the areas I had missed to complete the charts. It was the early 1990s and the administrative burden was certainly there but it was a manageable ritual.
Over the next decade things got much, much worse. Even in the blur of a retroscope it is hard to say what happened first. I would guess it was the political theory that health care fraud was the main driver of health care costs and the misguided effort by the federal government to crack down on doctors. That led to the elimination of the billing and coding experts. Doctors now had to waste their time in seminars devoted to making them experts in what is an entirely subjective process. No two coders agree on the correct bill to submit. How can you teach that lack of objectivity to doctors? The end result is that the billing and coding people were eliminated or reassigned and doctors took on another job unrelated to medicine.
The next phase was the electronic health record (EHR). It required that doctors learn the interface (more seminars and training). Once that was accomplished it was decided that they could also learn to enter their own notes - either really clunky ones using EHR derived phrases or more natural ones with a fairly frequent embarrassing typo using voice recognition programs. That eliminated the transcriptionists and required much more training. During the transition period I still went in to medical records every Sunday. I expected to see a staff person there who I had seen every Sunday for 15 years but one Sunday she was gone - a casualty of the EHR. The end result was doctors with a couple of new jobs and the elimination of both transcriptionists and medical records people.
At about the same time, managed care companies started to ratchet up the pain. In an inpatient setting you could get one or two "denials" per day. A denial is the managed care company saying that they refuse to cover the cost of care because the admission was not "medically necessary". That is managed care rhetoric for "we have decided not to pay you." These denials are purely arbitrary and have nothing to do with whether a person needs care or not. The best examples at the time were people with alcoholism or addiction who were suicidal and needed to be detoxed and reassessed. The standard managed care denial at the time was "This patient should be treated in a detox facility." The obvious problem was that not every county has a detox facility and those that do will not accept people making suicidal statements. So the next new job became battling with these companies who were essentially getting free care for their health plan subscribers if you did not jump through all of the hoops necessary to appeal.
Slightly later, managed care decided they could apply the same denial strategy to pharmaceuticals on the basis that cheaper drugs are as good and all drugs in the same class are equivalent. It turns out that nether of those assumptions is accurate, but in America today business and politics always trumps medical decision making. This prior authorization process created a blizzard of paperwork that ties up a lot of clinic time. One study estimated 20 hours per week (across all employees) per physician on average. That means if your clinic has 5 doctors in it - 100 hours per week of the total hours worked is used strictly to deal with insurance companies. It also adds another job to what the doctor already does.
So in the time I have been practicing medicine let's add the number of jobs that have been accreted into the administrative side of medicine for all physicians. Billing and coding expert + transcriptionist + EHR interface user + voice recognition user + utilization review responder + prior authorization responder totals 6 new jobs in the past two decades, none of which came up in medical school.
With all of that "efficiency" we should expect health care costs to plummet or at least stay the same. As we all know that has not happened. The politics and business interests driving this are in the business of making money. Physician and hospital reimbursement is essentially flat. One of the easiest ways to make a buck is to have the physicians doing way more administrative tasks and fire the employees that used to do them. You can also make money by putting up the usual obstacles to doctors doing their jobs of treating patients in hospitals or clinics until they just give up. I have been so burned out at times that I put a cursory note in the chart to say exactly what I did. That note did not meet coding requirements so I did not submit a bill. At some point you just have to stop working. I know that I am not alone in getting to that point.
So congratulations to all of the docs who are now laboring on this vast assembly line that we now call American medicine. It is the ultimate product of what Congress, the White House and big business can do. We can only expect continued "improvements" or "efficiencies" under the new health care law. It is an assembly line that discourages quality or innovation and that also makes it unique.
Happy Labor Day!

Surrogate Mothers
Sooner or later most married couples feel the desire to create a family. Sometimes it can be difficult to do so if one of the parties involved is found to be infertile. Occasionally women are found to be unable to bear children due to past health complications. Both men and women can suffer from these complications which make them unable to produce offspring naturally. Learning that one is unable to have children can come as shocking news to an individual. As a result couples look to having children in methods other than those traditionally used. Alternatives such as adoption are an option, as well as fertility drugs. Adoption can be a relatively long, difficult and costly process. Another more economical option is to hire a surrogate mother who could carry the genetic child of the couple for them.
How to Obtain a Surrogate Mother
Surrogate mothers are individuals who volunteer their services to carry a couple's child for them through the pregnancy.
There are organizations who can be contacted by the couple who want to hire a surrogate mother. Most surrogate mothers want to meet the couple they could possibly be dealing with before becoming involved in the process. This initial meeting can be done at the organization of the surrogate mother but often takes place in a more social setting such as dinner at a restaurant. The surrogate mother wants to get to know the couple whose child she will be carrying and become comfortable with them. If the surrogate is not comfortable with the situation they are able to withdraw without having made a commitment.
In the beginning of the eighties, when reproductive technology did not allow for both the man's sperm and his wife's eggs to be transferred into the surrogate mother, the child...

Increase the Value of Your Home with This Simple Step
Want to help increase the value of your Aspen home? I came across an interesting factoid the other day. According to a joint study by the University of Connecticut and Syracuse University, by regularly and properly maintaining your home, you can increase your property value by 1% per year. This should not be too surprising. We all know about curb appeal. It is easy to see the difference between a home that has been properly maintained and one that has not.
In fact, if you were to sell your home, you would have to deal with a home inspector who represents the buyer. He would create a whole laundry list of issues to be corrected before a buyer would close. Issues like the condition of the roof, rain gutters, or driveways cracking can significantly influence a buyer's decision.
MVP home services keep your home in perfect condition.
MVP Estate & Home Services provides extraordinary property care in the Aspen and Snowmass areas as well as the Roaring Fork Valley. Our Home Services provide a simple option for managing and maintaining your Aspen or Snowmass home.

An onlay restoration is a custom made filling made of composite material, gold, or tooth-colored porcelain. An onlay is sometimes also referred to as a partial crown. It is made by a professional dental laboratory and is permanently cemented onto the tooth by your dentist.
Onlays can be utilized to conservatively repair teeth that have large defective fillings or have been damaged by decay or trauma. Onlays are an ideal alternative to crowns (caps) because less tooth structure is removed in the preparation of onlays. Onlays are essentially identical to inlays with the exception that one or more of the chewing cusps have also been affected and need to be included in the restoration.
As with most dental restorations, onlays are not always permanent and may someday require replacement. They are highly durable and will last many years, giving you a beautiful long lasting smile.
Reasons for onlay restorations:
What does getting an onlay involve?
An onlay procedure usually requires two appointments. Your first appointment will include taking several highly accurate impressions (molds) that will be used to create your custom onlay and a temporary restoration.
While the tooth is numb, the dentist will remove any decay and/or old filling materials. The space will then be thoroughly cleaned and carefully prepared, shaping the surface to properly fit an onlay restoration. A temporary filling will be applied to protect the tooth while your onlay is made by a dental laboratory.
At your second appointment, your new onlay will be carefully and precisely cemented into place. A few adjustments may be necessary to ensure a proper fit and that your bite is comfortable.
You will receive care instruction at the conclusion of your treatment. Good oral hygiene practices, a proper diet, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new onlay.

Great guy - personable - assuages inherent dentist 'fears', lovely surroundings, fun and help is the same.

I have been going to Dr. Mendoza for 15 years for all my dental needs. He is a kind, calm and patient dentist. You will never leave this office without laughing. I currently live 65 miles from his office now but continue to take the drive as I completely trust his work. You may pay a bit more for his services but you are getting quality care and products. Whenever you have major work to be done he will educate you on the different procedures he could perform and allow you to chose the route you want to take. I highly reccomend Dr. Mendoza for your dental needs.

It is somewhat of a paradox. For years and years, gambling, which many people consider a vice, has been the unlikely driver of change. Gambling was one of the very first industries to embrace the internet age, and for a while, no one believed that we would ever have online casinos. When smartphone technology went mainstream, it was this industry that rose once again to lead the pack towards mobile gaming. Now, the field is quickly proliferating the application of virtual reality technologies in a bid to better the experience of the gambler.
Long time coming
Ideally, VR fits in with gambling like a perfect part of jigsaw. Over the years, brick and mortar casinos as well as their online equivalents have been looking for a way to provide an even more immersive experience to their users. Virtual Reality is all about simulating a dream environment using electronic equipment and allowing player to explore. The ultimate goal is to make both physical and virtual casino gaming as close to surreal as possible. Companies like Oculus are at the sharp end of this technology, having rolled out VR headsets and goggles. They are now in the process of developing one-of-a-kind VR gloves, and gamers are hanging on to news of the inevitable breakthroughs of the future. Generally, the response from the gambling community has been overwhelming; the general consensus is that players feel better engaged when they exist in a bubble their can control via a set of electronic devices hooked to computers. Those in the brick and mortar world see this as an extension of their existential world. With VR, you get to navigate the floors and tinker with the slots of an entire casino from the comfort of your home. It is without a doubt a game changer.
We already have a pace setter.
Gambling VR is not a dream nursed by techies in their nerd caves; it is, in fact, a reality that some gamblers have been living for years now. In 2015, ALEA, the online gaming super-conglomerate, decided to test the waters by launching the pioneer VR casino in the world, SlotsMillion. This was made possible via the integration of Oculus' Rift headsets and software technologies that are part web-based and part offline. Once a player is 'plugged in' (ever watched the Matrix franchise?), they get to learn the nuances of their new environment, interacting with agents, staffers and most importantly, other players. In the virtual world, you get to look at your gaming environment via a 3D perspective.
Demystifying the casino of the future
Land-based gaming is soon going to be part of the nostalgic past, except for the industry players capable of replicating the use of VR consoles in their brick-and mortar entities. The competition in the gambling industry is fierce. It's no longer enough to offer a good casino bonus or free spins upon signup. That's why a lot of the major online casino brands are jumping onto the VR bandwagon. VR may not take over gambling in 2017, but it has drawn the first blood. The die has been cast, and it is only a matter of time before headsets, goggles and gloves take over wholesomely.

Theseus or Hercules?
Theseus is most worthy of emulation. He was a great hero in Athens. 'Theseus
was, of course bravest of the brave as all heroes are, but unlike the other heroes he was as
compassionate as he was brave.' (p. 159). Theseus also was a man of bravery, intellect
and bodily strength. Hercules on the other hand was what all Greece except Athens most
admired. He was very strong but wasn't too smart. Hercules never thought of the
consequences that his actions would bring about before he followed through with them.
First, Theseus was very strong. He fought many terrible horrendous monsters such
as the Minotaur, '..a monster, half bull, half human..' (p.151), and went on many great
ventures such as the Quest for the Golden Fleece. Theseus showed his great strength in
adventures such as the one with the Minotaur. Hercules was also involved in many great
adventures in which his great strength was shown.
Hercules was much stronger than
Theseus, but Theseus made up for this small loss in other ways.
Second, Theseus was very smart. Because of his great intellect the Athenians,
people who valued thought and ideas, chose him and not Hercules as their hero. Theseus
escaped from the Labyrinth and killed the Minotaur. Neither of these tasks were easy and
required someone with aptitude unlike Hercules. Theseus always thought things through
and made good decisions. Hercules' foolishness was shown on many occasions such as
when he killed his family and his music teacher. Theseus' intellect is one very valuable
quality which makes him more worthy of emulation.
Third, Theseus was very brave. In fact he went on so many great excursions that a
saying grew up in Athens 'Nothing without Theseus!' (p. 149). When it was time for
Theseus to seek his...

Now, anyone who knows me knows that I'm a cover snob. I'm not saying that I don't read books with ugly photoshopped looking covers, but the ones that look pretty do have a higher preference. So, in the interest of other readers like me, here's a list of horror books with pretty covers to curl up with this Halloween!
As I Descended
by Robin Talley
Maria Lyon and Lily Boiten are their school's ultimate power couple—even if no one knows it but them.Mostly Void, Partially Stars
Only one thing stands between them and their perfect future: campus superstar Delilah Dufrey.
Golden child Delilah is a legend at the exclusive Acheron Academy, and the presumptive winner of the distinguished Cawdor Kingsley Prize. She runs the school, and if she chose, she could blow up Maria and Lily's whole world with a pointed look, or a carefully placed word.
But what Delilah doesn't know is that Lily and Maria are willing to do anything—absolutely anything—to make their dreams come true. And the first step is unseating Delilah for the Kingsley Prize. The full scholarship, awarded to Maria, will lock in her attendance at Stanford―and four more years in a shared dorm room with Lily.
Maria and Lily will stop at nothing to ensure their victory—including harnessing the dark power long rumored to be present on the former plantation that houses their school.
But when feuds turn to fatalities, and madness begins to blur the distinction between what's real and what is imagined, the girls must decide where they draw the line.
From acclaimed author Robin Talley comes a Shakespeare-inspired story of revenge and redemption, where fair is foul, and foul is fair.
by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor

Lana used to know what was real.
That was before when her life was small and quiet.Her golden step-brother, Ben, was alive, she could only dream about bonfiring with the populars, their wooded island home was idyllic, she could tell the truth from lies, and Ben's childhood stories were firmly in her imagination.
Then came after.
After has Lana boldly kissing her crush, jumping into the water from too high up, and living with nerve and mischief. But after also has horrors, deaths that only make sense in fairy tales, and terrors from a past Lana thought long forgotten: Love, blood, and murder.

Penelope Fittes, leader of the well-renowned Fittes Agency wants Lockwood & Co. – and only them – to locate and remove the 'Source' for the legendary Brixton Cannibal.

Seventeen-year-old Audrey Rose Wadsworth was born a lord's daughter, with a life of wealth and privilege stretched out before her. But between the social teas and silk dress fittings, she leads a forbidden secret life.
Against her stern father's wishes and society's expectations, Audrey often slips away to her uncle's laboratory to study the gruesome practice of forensic medicine. When her work on a string of savagely killed corpses drags Audrey into the investigation of a serial murderer, her search for answers brings her close to her own sheltered world.
Three Dark Crowns
by Kendare Blake
Every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born: three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers. Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomachache. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of lions.
But becoming the Queen Crowned isn't solely a matter of royal birth. Each sister has to fight for it. And it's not just a game of win or lose…it's life or death. The night the sisters turn sixteen, the battle begins. The last queen standing gets the crown.
If only it was that simple. Katharine is unable to tolerate the weakest poison, and Arsinoe, no matter how hard she tries, can't make even a weed grow. The two queens have been shamefully faking their powers, taking care to keep each other, the island, and their powerful sister Mirabella none the wiser. But with alliances being formed, betrayals taking shape, and ruthless revenge haunting the queens' every move, one thing is certain: the last queen standing might not be the strongest…but she may be the darkest.

The New Democratic Strategy to Force a Clean CR Has a Built-in Timebomb
by evanmcmurry
The good news is the Democrats may have found a way to force a clean CR through the House despite the opposition of the House GOP leadership.
Stay with me here: the trick is called a "discharge petition," which forces a House vote on a bill if a majority of representatives sign it. Democrats had considered using this before, but it takes 30 days for a discharge petition to mature. But Dems have discovered a previously filed bill, written by James Lankford (R-OK), that would pass sequester-level spending to avoid a shutdown; Lankford's bill was written in March, clearing the 30-day hurdle. So a pair of Democratic reps will introduce the DP—that's what I'm calling it now!—today, and if they gather 218 signatures from House reps, which they should be able to if all twenty GOP members who say they want a clean CR are telling the truth, the thing passes and goes to the Senate. Bam, government reopens. (<- All this via Greg Sargent.)
All good, right? For now. Here's the bill's language:
If Congress fails to approve a budget by the end of each fiscal year, the Government Shutdown Prevention Act would ensure that all operations remain running normally without any interruption of services by automatically triggering a continuing resolution (CR) or short-term, stop-gap spending device. The bill creates an automatic CR for any regular appropriations bill not completed before the end of the fiscal year. After the first 120 days, auto-CR funding would be reduced by one percentage point and would continue to be reduced by that margin every 90 days.
Catch that last sentence? The bill has a built-in spending cut of 1% every three months. Keeping in mind that for a decent amount of GOP reps, the sequester-induced spending cuts and the 18% of government currently furloughed are not unintentional consequences but the exact sort of government shearing they're after, introducing a bill that automatically cuts spending if Congress doesn't get its act together to pass appropriations bills incentivizes House Republicans to never, ever get their acts together to pass appropriations bills. It guarantees future chaos at regular intervals.

Community, government and business vow support
A large family left homeless after a fire on Friday say they plan to rebuild their George Town family compound within three months.
Community support has flooded in for the Buttrum family, who lost their homes after an electrical fire ripped through the building, reducing it to cinders in a matter of minutes.
Thousands of dollars in food, clothing and cash were raised over the weekend to support the family in the short term.
Now the community is galvanizing to assist them in rebuilding their home in Windsor Park.
Government's Needs Assessment Unit was helping them pay for temporary accommodation on Monday.
The fire broke out in a vacant room at the group of adjoining family homes just after 8 p.m. on Friday.
Alwin Buttrum, who owns the house with his five brothers and sister, said friends in the construction trade had promised to help them rebuild.
"All the family will be chipping in, right down to the babies," Mr. Buttrum said. "Everybody is going to help. We are a close family and we have friends in the neighborhood that are helping as well as contractors that are willing to lend a hand."
Government representatives met with the family Monday morning and have agreed to assist in navigating the planning process. Mr. Buttrum said.
Alice Ramos, president of Rotaract Blue, said the club was helping to coordinate with architects and other businesses to assist the family in rebuilding their home.
Sandra Miller, area representative for Windsor Park, said she was helping to coordinate with social services. She said the neighborhood was coming together in support of the family.
"We will keep working and doing what we can to get assistance to make sure they can get their home back," she said.
Tina Choy of the fire prevention unit said an investigation confirmed that the cause of the fire was an electrical fault. She said the building had burned quickly, in part because it was an old, timber structure.
Mr. Buttrum said the family was still appealing for help with building materials and expertise to ensure the new dwelling is built quickly and safely.
"We have a lot of people offering support and coming to our aid," he said. "We have been really surprised and really grateful. We appreciate everything everyone has done."
Matthew Leslie of Cayman Islands Brewery handed over thousands of dollars' worth of donations to the family on Saturday, and a volunteer crew from Island Waste Carriers were on site Sunday and Monday to clear the property.
Anyone who wants to help may call Mr. Buttrum on 927-3886.

NOVA took part in the CEESA Middle School girls soccer tournament for the first time.
After two months of practice we were ready to take on our first challenge and test our strengths against other teams at the CEESA Middle School soccer tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria. The tournament lasted for two straight days (November 2nd and 3rd) on the premises of the Anglo American School of Sofia. Our girls played six matches in total and and went up against six teams: ISB Dragons(Belgrade), ISH Huskies (Helsinki), AAS Wolves (Sofia), PSI Panthers (Kiev), and AAS & IBS Mixed Team (Sofia & Belgrade).
The enthusiasm and zeal with which our girls played during the tournament is a testament to the commitment and heart our players have. Throughout the tournament the players showed marked improvement, from their first match to their very last. Requiring they come together as a team. Getting used to the pace, the competitive nature and speed of play takes experience, and time to develop; still, our team managed to show skill(shooting,passing, and talking) and talent on the field while having fun all at the same time. As far as the organization of the event is concerned, we were impressed: great social events for both players and coaches, very accommodating staff, friendly and welcoming host families, a great meal plan, excellent transportation service, and competitive international games. All of these elements combined gave the girls a great travel and soccer experience, making this a very unique international soccer tournament. We look forward to returning again next year!

2018 Prosperity Summit Prominently Showcases Children's Savings Accounts
During the 2018 Prosperity Summit, Children's Savings Accounts (CSAs) received a big platform when four trailblazing mayors—Melvin Carter of Saint Paul, MN; Libby Schaaf of Oakland, CA; Michael Tubbs of Stockton, CA and Victoria Woodards of Tacoma, WA—discussed how they're championing CSAs in their cities. For example, Mayor Carter discussed how a 30-person task force from a diverse array of community members is helping to design Saint Paul's program, which will be the first municipal-level, universal, at-birth CSA program.
That plenary, "Bending Towards Justice: Perspectives on the Long Game," was one of many instances that lifted CSAs as a tool to address economic inequality during our biennial conference, which had more than 1,100 attendees.
Prosperity Now held several events and sessions focused specifically on CSAs at the Summit, including a pre-conference for 65 leaders in the CSA field, a three-hour "clinic" that included presentations from local and statewide CSA programs as well as personalized consultations with experienced practitioners; and four concurrent sessions.
At the state and local CSA policy session, Kaohly Her, Policy Director for Mayor Melvin Carter; St. Louis Treasurer Tishaura Jones and Pennsylvania Deputy State Treasurer Jack Stollsteimer spoke with Prosperity Now's Shira Markoff about effective strategies to build support for CSAs across the political spectrum. The panelists identified the advantages and disadvantages of setting up CSA programs from a legislative or administrative path. Stollsteimer said that when trying to start a program from the legislature, compromises are inevitable. Markoff noted that, on the other hand, CSA programs set up administratively run the risk of elimination when political offices turn over.
The panelists also discussed common arguments against CSAs and ways to address them. Stollsteimer touched on an argument some people make from a progressive political standpoint—that CSAs do not address inequality if they offer the same initial deposit amount to everyone. He responded that programs can offer progressive incentives, such as giving additional deposits to children who qualify for free or reduced lunch.
These concerns about inequality came up in other events during the Summit, including a panel during the CSA pre-conference that featured leaders in the children's savings field discussing how to combine CSAs with other policies and address wealth inequality. Martha Kanter of the College Promise Campaign discussed making college free or debt-free, and University of Michigan Professor William Elliott spoke about his pilot program with Promise Indiana to provide reward card rebates on grocery store purchases into CSAs. Elliott said that this pilot would enable low-income families who may not otherwise be able to save to put money into their CSA.
To see speaker presentations and handouts from the CSA clinic and concurrent sessions, visit the Prosperity Summit website.
Prosperity Now would like to thank the Prudential Foundation, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and the Richard W. Goldman Family Foundation for their generous, ongoing support of Prosperity Now's CSA work and the Campaign for Every Kid's Future, which enabled us to hold the CSA pre-conference.

Additional confirmed concerts include appearances at Decibel Metal & Beer Fest, Crucialfest 8 & Masters Of Grind. PIG DESTROYER will also perform two exclusive West Coast concerts with The Black Dahlia Murder leading to Decibel Metal & Fest Fest.
A visceral vortex of animalistic rage and extreme sonic brilliance, Head Cage is a true work of extreme metal art, that with the addition of a bass player, is hands down their most dynamic and heaviest recording to date. Across twelve tracks, PIG DESTROYER weave together harrowing tales of philosophical dualities, touching on mortality and depression, fear and violence, and the darkest complexities of the human condition, all told through the distorted lens of delightfully transgressive vocalist/lyricist JR Hayes. Musically, the band continues to push the boundaries of metal, grindcore, noise and punk, ramping up the intensity and leaving you bludgeoned in a state of utter shock, all in less than 33 minutes.
Head Cage was recorded by guitarist Scott Hull at Visceral Sound Studios, mixed and mastered by Will Putney (Exhumed, Every Time I Die, Body Count) and features striking artwork by Mark McCoy (Full of Hell, Nothing) along with guest vocal appearances by Agoraphobic Nosebleed's Richard Johnson and Kat Katz plus Full Of Hell's Dylan Walker.

Maintenance & Care - Rotomolded Kayaks
Constructed using linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), our line of rotomolded kayaks are essentially maintenance-free and require a minimal amount of care when transporting and storing to ensure maximum lifespan.
Store it Smart - Enjoying the great outdoors is what kayaking is all about, but that doesn't mean that Mother Nature is always your friend. Saltwater, sun, rain, and wind are all enemies of your equipment. Even though our kayaks are built tough, proper storage is essential.
The flexibility of polyethylene increases as it gets hotter, something that can be hard to avoid in a tropical climate like Indonesia. This makes it possible for kayaks to deform in extreme heat, particularly at weight bearing points. For example, if it is strapped tightly to a car's rook rack for an extended period of time.
- Rinse with fresh water after use, dry before storing away.
- Store in a cool, dry environment. Ideally indoors, but definitely in a covered area.
- Never store your kayak in direct sunlight. Resort operators and resorts should not leave kayaks in the sun all day. Keep covered with a tarp or in a shady area.
Keep it Clean - A simple fresh water rinse after each use will make a huge difference in the lifespan of your kayak and other equipment by avoiding saltwater corrosion, mildew, and bacteria. Take extra care with fittings (D-rings, etc.), especially for all kayaks that feature rudder systems: thoroughly rinse all exposed parts of the steering system after use including the rudder, rudder cables, and foot pedals. Rinse kayaks with removable seats separately and more thoroughly, including all fittings and clips. Don't forget to rinse your paddle to!
The occasional deeper clean will keep your kayak looking like new. Avoiding the use of heavy-duty cleaning products like acetone is advised. Simple dish soap, water, and a soft brush should do the tick. You can go the extra mile by using a 303 aerospace protectant, which will give your kayak that showroom shine plus provide added UV production.
Lock it Down - Our rotomolded kayaks have a range of features, such as multiple handles for easy transport, D-rings for attaching seats, fishing rod holders, and storage lids. Regularly checking and tightening everything will not only make sure you don't lose anything, but also keep water from seeping into places you don't want it.
Carry it Carefully - This should be obvious, but it is important to remember. Rotomolded kayaks can be heavy, particularly after a long day of paddling, but that doesn't mean you should disrespect them by dragging them up the beach or dropping them. All our kayaks feature multiple handles to make sure you can transport your kayak properly and safely, so use them! It's always advisable to have a friend help you carry if possible.

The best possible means of rebuilding the Black Stars and restoring its glory is by casting the net wide when selecting players, coach Kwesi Appiah has said.
Critics have often vilified the Black Stars coach for his knack of handing call-ups to unknown players stating that it disrupts the team's cohesion and stability but Kwesi Appiah says his decision inures to the long-term benefit of the team.
Speaking in an interview with Metro TV, the former Al-Khartoum boss held that the rebuilding process would be unsuccessful if he limits his selection to a few players.
Kwesi Appiah cited the Ghana-Congo game where he had to fall on new players due to the absence of five regular players to support his decision.
"I have been given an assignment to rebuild the team and that's what I'm working towards. We don't have to depend on few players when we can pick from a large pool of players. For instance, before we went to Congo we had about five players injured, if we had depended on few players Ghana would have suffered. So its important that as a country we build a formidable side whereby if one or two players get injured we have people who can equally replace them", he said.
Kwesi Appiah who believes that Ghanaians must a have a say in the selection of players, expressed satisfaction with the performance of the players and also called on the FA to create a platform where Ghanaians will have access to the players.
"So far those I have invited have been impressive and I'm happy with the team but I don't always believe that I should be the only person judging them. All Ghanaians must have access to the players and so far Ghanaians have seen that most of the players have proven beyond doubt that they should be wearing the national team jersey", Kwesi Appiah added.

Legalization of medical marijuana in Ohio has more than enough popular support, if only the key players could get, and keep, reasonable proposals on the table. Preferably, one proposal.
According to public polls, nearly three out of four Ohioans agree that access to marijuana for certain medical conditions should be a constitutional right; Yet once again—after last year's disastrous initiative went down in flames—there are competing pot legalization bills floating around, causing confusion and creating untenable obstacles.
And in addition to the numerous legalization initiatives locking horns, the Republicans in the House recently introduced a bill viewed as blatantly discriminatory against MMJ users in the work place.
