Hard Work
Manufacturing, the backbone of consumer goods production in the U.S., is finding its footing in a changing world.
The computer, phone, or tablet you're using all have one thing in common: They were designed and manufactured by someone. As prominent as it is in our daily lives, manufacturing isn't as popular of a career path as it once was. In 1977, about nineteen million Americans worked in manufacturing, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics—would be inevitably successful in 2012, that number was less than twelve million.
Today, both the middle class and the pool of skilled workers in the manufacturing industry are shrinking. Professor James Connolly, director of the Center of Middletown Studies, says that because so many factory jobs in manufacturing were low-skill and the wages and benefits were protected by unions in the past, many Americans were able to hold a manufacturing job and live comfortably in the middle class. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, labor union membership is down from twenty percent in 1983 to about eleven percent in 2015.
With artificial intelligence taking over jobs in manufacturing, workers turned away from manufacturing to four-year universities. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), undergraduate enrollment increased by forty-seven percent between 1970 and 1983. Similarly, according to a study by two Oxford researchers, almost half of American jobs can be replaced by artificial intelligence. Despite the technological advances replacing human workers, plenty of jobs openings need to be filled by humans, and workers can't get by with just a high school diploma anymore.
One of manufacturing's skilled human employees, Jon Foley, is a Business Unit Manager at Select Industries. However, Jon didn't originally plan to join the industry. In high school, he dreamed of becoming a general contractor. But all of that changed when a family friend coaxed him into trying a year in manufacturing.
Today, he is making a transmission that goes into thousands of vehicles. When he pulls up next to a car at a red light, he knows that he made a part of it in his facility. He loves that his job allows him to be a part of something bigger than himself.
Jon is often in awe of the impact manufacturing has on the U.S. Besides providing necessary consumer goods, historically, the jobs in manufacturing have also gone a long way to lift up the middle class. But with the decline in manufacturing employment, the middle class has shifted.
A study done by Pew Research Center in 2015 reported that the percentage of Americans in the middle class is now equal to the percentage of people in upper and lower classes, combined. The middle class used to make up the majority of the American population, but now it makes up just less than half. This widening income gap is caused by numerous factors, but the shifts in the manufacturing sector and the blue collar work it provided have played a big role.
Angelia Erbaugh, the president of the Dayton Regional Manufacturing Association, works to dispel the perceptions many people have of the manufacturing industry. She refers to these as the "Three Ds:" Dark, dirty, and dangerous. Jon was one student who was able to get past these perceptions.
Jon started his manufacturing career while going to school part-time, first at Sinclair Community College and then at Morehead State University. He had taken tech prep classes in high school, which had sparked his interest in creating things, but that was not enough for the present-day manufacturing industry.
"Gone are the days when a kid turns eighteen and can go to the local factory and get a job," Erbaugh says. "Most of our positions require some kind of skilled development."
Despite his own success, Jon could not help but notice the trouble the industry had trying to attract skilled employees. He became the chair of the Growing Workforce Pipeline Committee, which aims to increase interest in manufacturing careers. There, he actively recruits skilled workers to fill empty positions and comes up with strategies to help change the public's perception of manufacturing.
When the recession of December 2008 hit, many unskilled positions were outsourced to countries with lower production costs. This led to a huge loss of both jobs and faith in the industry. Meanwhile, unions, the force that kept factory jobs at middle class wages, were quickly losing strength and numbers due to laws implemented in the preceding decades. While many companies moved to countries in which work was cheaper, various American companies replaced their employees with new technology.
Parents tried to steer their children clear of the seemingly unreliable manufacturing industry, and a four-year degree was viewed as the only acceptable option after high school. Stephen Tucker, a senior manager of industry of Partners for a United Workforce, blames the recession for the decrease in manufacturing employment. He, too, hopes to destigmatize manufacturing jobs.
Manufacturing today hopes to attract driven students with the proper technical skills and critical thinking, Tucker says. Some repetitive labor jobs exist, but that is not the majority of the work that is available in world outside of a traditional college degree. Tucker explains that plenty of kids today are interested in engineering, but whenever someone designs an engineered product, someone has to put that product together. That's where the shortage is.
Some question whether the "skills gap," or lack of skilled laborers available, actually exists, but a survey done by The Manufacturing Institute reported that more than seventy-five percent of manufacturing companies surveyed experienced difficulties finding skilled workers.
Jon is optimistic that the work he does is a step in the right direction. He doesn't believe the industry is going anywhere any time soon – it's just changing. As technology advances, the people in manufacturing do as well – and those people will have to be better and safer.
Even though the manufacturing field is changing, it's still an important part of our society. In 2015 alone, manufacturing contributed more than two trillion dollars to the U.S. economy, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Its ability to stay dynamic will help usher in a new generation of skilled workers who could change the economy for the better.
Despite its stigma, manufacturing is the backbone of the economy, and continues to be a driving force of our nation.

Teacher 'sacked for challenging antisemitism'
A Christian teacher who claims he was forced out of his job for reporting his pupils' antisemitic comments has appeared at a tribunal.
A Christian teacher who claims he was forced out of his job for reporting his pupils' antisemitic and anti-Christian comments clashed repeatedly with a barrister at an employment tribunal.
Nicholas Kafouris, 52, claimed that pupils at predominantly Muslim Bigland Primary School in Tower Hamlets, east London, had said in lessons that they "hated Jews and Christians", had praised the Twin Towers perpetrators as heroes and martyrs and said they wanted to be "Islamic bombers" when they grew up.
He claimed he had reported the comments repeatedly to the head, Jill Sankey, and assistant head Margaret Coleman, but they had brushed aside his complaints.
Mr Kafouris was signed off with stress by his GP at the end of February 2007 after Ms Coleman warned him not to challenge the pupils in class about their remarks.
He said the lack of support from the school made him clinically depressed and unable to work. He was sacked in April last year.
Cross-examined at the hearing in Kingsway, Central London, by Betson Criddle, counsel for the school and Tower Hamlets Council, Mr Kafouris became agitated as the barrister asked him about the appearance of his brother Andrew on school visits.
Mr Kafouris agreed that his brother appeared while he was with a class at the Museum of London. But he became angry when Ms Criddle suggested Michael had appeared at various other venues "including the swimming pool".
Mr Kafouris shouted: "No, he did not. If they have witnesses they should turn up or get an affidavit. That is a lie made up by the school."
Ms Criddle read a statement from another teacher about the incident but Mr Kafouris said he could not remember talking to her.
The pair clashed again when Ms Criddle said the school had ordered one boy who made racist remarks to write a letter of apology to Mr Kafouris.
Mr Kafouris retorted: "A letter of apology was not given to me by the boy until two weeks later when I asked him. That's not right."
Ms Criddle said the boy in question had undergone mentoring "about understanding Islam better and because he was struggling to understand the concept of other religions".
Mr Kafouris said; "He was a smart boy. He knew about his own religion and he knew enough about Christianity to make a remark to me. He was being rude and racist."
Ms Criddle put it to Mr Kafouris that he wanted the boy to be punished. Mr Kafouris said that was wrong: "I did not want him punished, he was only a child. I didn't want any child punished. I wanted him to be corrected."
Mr Kafouris said he would have wanted a meeting involving the boy, his parents, the head and himself to tell the boy that what he was doing was wrong.
"But I was not important enough. I was left out," he said.
The hearing continues.

Samsung Announces 3D HDTV Pricing, Availability
- Samsung Announces 3D HDTV Pricing, Availability
- Product Tables
Just one day before Panasonic's planned 3D TV media event at a Manhattan Best Buy, Samsung has announced availability of its own 3D HDTVs and Blu-ray players.
But don't worry: at the Panasonic event on Wednesday, the company will still sell its first full home theater system at the Best Buy retail store in Union Square, while Samsung's 2010 offerings won't ship to stores until later this month.
And if you think that not owning any 3D content yet means that you won't be able to enjoy 3D on your TV, think again.
Available in April, Samsung's flagship 9000-series 3D HDTV will ship in two sizesthe 46-inch UN46C9000 will retail for a jaw-dropping $5,999.99, while the 55-inch UN55C9000 will be priced even higher, at $1,000 more. These 240-Hz sets include native 3D support; though even with the sky-high pricing, 3D glasses will be sold separately. The flagship models' marquee feature is their sleek, ultra-slim design, though Samsung has yet to announce just how thin these sets really are. A 3-inch touch screen remote is also included in the box.
Luckily, pricing for many of the models announced today is more in line with Samsung's 2009 HDTVs, and in many cases, its 2010 models are even more affordable. Samsung's least expensive 3D-ready HDTV, the 46-inch LN46C750, offers standard CCFL backlighting, and will be available in May for $1,699.99.
Next in line, the 50-inch PN50C7000 plasma will be available for $1,799.99 beginning in May. Two other models in that series, the 58-inch PN58C7000 and 63-inch PN63C7000 will also be available in May, priced at $2,699.99 and $3,499.99, respectively. Also shipping in May, the 8000-series plasma models will be available in identical sizes for $300 more eachthese models add an attractive brushed metal gray cabinet, and also include a matching remote control.
Most models in Samsung's 3D-enabled lineup include LED-backlighting; expect to pay much more for this feature, however. Measuring just one inch thick, the 46-inch UN46C7000 and 55-inch UN55C7000 will be the first 3D-enabled models to hit stores, later this month for $2,599.99 and $3,299.99, respectively. A 40-inch model, the UN40C7000, will be priced at $1,999.99, and will ship in May.
With superior picture quality, the 0.9-inch thick 8000-series offers Samsung's pin-point LED dimming technology, resulting in improved black levels without losing shadow detail in darker scenes. Two 46- and 55-inch models, the UN46C8000 and UN55C8000, will be priced $200 higher than the identically sized 7000-series models (which lack the dimming feature), and will be available in April. A 65-inch model, the UN65C8000, will retail for $4,999.99 beginning in July.
Though Samsung's first 3D-enabled Blu-ray player will ship this month, 3D Blu-ray movies likely won't be available until later this year. If you're looking to get a head start, you'll be able to take the BD-C6900 home later this month for $399.99.
However, Samsung claims that its 3D LCDs can simulate 3D, and swap between 2D and 3D at the touch of a button. "Even if 3D content is unavailable, the TVs can render 2D content like broadcast TV, gaming content, and legacy DVDs into 3D in real time," according to Samsung. Samsung will also provide a free 3D Starter Kit with the purchase of a Samsung 3D HDTV and either the Samsung BD-C6900 3D Blu-ray Player or the HT-C6930W 3D Home Theater System, the company said. Included in the kit is a 3D version of "Monsters vs. Aliens" and two pairs of Samsung 3D Active Glasses.
Samsung also announced the availability of dozens of non-3D HDTVs, home theater systems, and four other Blu-ray players, which PCMag will add in a later update. Next: The Product Tables

Sex, lust and the admiration of physical beauty aimed at the opposite sex are things that some Christians have trouble separating. Today, in this third installment of the trilogy. I'd like to focus on Physical Beauty.
God made the sexes to appeal to one another. It's absolutely normal for someone who is physically attractive to catch your eye. Contrary to what Hollywood may portray on the big screen, elderly men and women see beauty in the opposite sex and don't lose their physical attraction for one another as they age.
My dad had an eye for physically beautiful women well into his 80's. With that being said, I feel we need to define what physical beauty is. The media would have us believe that the standard of beauty is the winner of the Miss Universe contest or the model on the cover of GQ magazine. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Physical beauty is any visual quality that you find attractive in the opposite sex. Physical beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. Thank God, because I could never live up to the standard of the male model on the cover of GQ and I'm glad that I don't have too. God has made each of us with specific tastes when it comes to what appeals to us in the opposite sex.
Physical beauty is any visual quality that you find attractive in the opposite sex. Physical beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.
Some like tall, some like short, some like heavy, and some like skinny. Some like blonde, some like brunette, or redheads. God even built into us quirky likes and dislikes that can be quite rare. These idiosyncrasies can be as detailed as finding manicured nails, a certain type of style of dress, length of one's hair or even the tone of someone's voice appealing. Given the different looks and races of people all over the world, no matter what you look like there is someone out there who you will appeal to you and vice versa.
And to sweeten the pot, God created us to be drawn to one another simply by associating with the opposite sex over extended periods of time. Maybe you've experienced a situation where you were forced to spend time with someone of the opposite sex through a classroom or work environment.
At first, the person may not have caught your eye. In fact, at first sight this may not have been someone who would have appealed to you at all. But as time went by and you began to interact with the person and spent time getting to know them, emotions began to bubble to the surface and they became physically beautiful to you.
Personally, I've never met a woman who didn't appeal to me in some way. I think all women are beautiful in their own way. Some could use a bit more work to enhance their physical beauty than others, but all have the building blocks to become even more beautiful than they already are. I think members of the opposite sex should be admired and complemented (at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner) if you find them to be beautiful inside, outside or both.
When attraction to the opposite sex crosses the line
As I stated in the last article, the problem comes when you don't recognize that your admiration of physical beauty in someone has crossed the line and become lust. Once again, it's our responsibility to be aware of our emotions and take control of them if they start to venture into an area that violates God's Word where lust is concerned.
I thank you for taking the time to journey through this series with me. My prayer is that it has been enlightening and that God has been able to shed some light on this topic that can be taken and applied personally in your life.
God bless…

Another Loop
Here it is - another Triangle Loop Cowl.
My niece commented very quickly when she saw my daughter's cowl - if S didn't like it, she certainly would. So, even though we all hope the season for wool scarves is behind us, this cowl was her birthday gift last week. She was nice enough to send me a picture as soon as it arrived. They're both beautiful on their own, and look quite nice together!
I used a heavier weight of Fyberspates Scrumptious Yarn, because I was curious about the plied version of this yarn (the lighter weight Scrumptious DK is a single). Also, the moss green was only available in the heavier yarn. My first stab at this (which I didn't photograph) used a lighter blue/gray called Water with the Moss color. The values of the two colors were too similar. These two colors are better -- the new gray is called Slate. I like this yarn, but I don't know if I like it better than the lighter weight -- I think this is a beautiful yarn, but it shows tension variations more than the single-spun yarn.
You can find the Triangle Loop pattern here.
I used a heavier yarn (Fyberspates Scrumptious Aran) so I used less stitches than the pattern called for, 78, and a US size 9 needle.
The best part this time was the scariest part on the first scarf -- grafting the loop together at the end.
When I was done, there was no edge, no beginning, no end. I really think it's worth it to choose your ending row carefully and graft together in pattern.

Back-To-School Beauty Segment On Telemundo NY — The Greatest Makeup, Skincare, And Hair Care Buys!
School is in session — which means it's time to stock up on all the products necessary to attain clear skin, a natural-looking but sun-kissed complexion, shiny and bouncy hair, perfectly polished nails, and flirty lashes and lips. Early this morning, then, I stopped by the Telemundo NY studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey, to talk about back-to-school beauty buys on "Primera Edición" (embedded above). Now, I didn't have enough time to cover all of the goodies I brought with me, so I'm including everything in this post — all the products in each category, the trends within each realm, and the details on why each of these products is Sicka Than Average-approved.
Let the beauty lesson begin!
Most teens and twenty-somethings struggle with acne — whether it's an occasional breakout or a seemingly endless battle against blackheads and full-on cystic acne. Now, the first step in winning the acne battle is a thorough cleansing, which may sound self-evident, but you'd be surprised at how much dirt and debris lingers inside pores. To help deliver a better, more efficient cleansing experience, try the Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush (pictured above). The brush retails for $89.50 at Clinique.com and features a sonic technology that effectively dislodges oil, dirt, and bacteria not only from the skin's surface, but from deep within the pores. What's unique about this particular brush is that it features an oval-shaped brush head with two-toned bristles: shorter, stiffer, coarser green bristles along the top of the brush head that are meant to be used along the T-zone (where sebaceous glands abound) and longer, softer, white bristles along the bottom of the brush head for a gentler cleansing along more tender areas of the face like the cheek area. Also of note is the brush's ergonomic handle, its compact design, and its clever base.
Next up, I hand-picked 7 products that work wonders on acne-prone skin but are still gentle enough for teens and twenty-somethings with more tender complexions. First, there's the Clearasil Daily Clear Hydra-Blast Oil-Free Face Wash Sensitive ($4.99 at drugstores), which contains 2% salicylic acid to promote exfoliation and kill acne-causing bacteria, but which also contains soothing and hydrating ingredients so that skin won't overdry, flake, peel, or become red and inflamed. Next, there's the Cetaphil DermaControl Oil Control Foam Wash ($11.99 at drugstores and Ulta.com), which contains no artificial fragrances and features a calming formula that tackles oiliness via a zinc complex while also helping to maintain the skin's natural pH balance. You can follow this cleanser with the Cetaphil DermaControl Moisturizer SPF 30 ($16.99 at drugstores and Ulta.com), which is also formulated for acne-prone skin and features a zinc complex to keep your complexion nice and matte. Women who prefer all-natural beauty products, meanwhile, can try the Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Purifying Gel Cleanser ($10 art BurtsBees.com and Target stores), which was formulated with 99.4% natural ingredients including salicylic acid extracted from willow bark, witch hazel (a natural astringent), and evening primrose to hydrate and soothe skin.
If you need to stop a breakout in its tracks, try the First Aid Beauty FAB Skin Rescue Blemish Patrol Pads ($30 at Sephora.com). Each jar contains 60 facial towelettes moistened with witch hazel, a natural astringent; salicylic acid, which promotes exfoliation and clears breakouts; Evermat, a complex derived from the Enantia chlorantha plant that reduces sebum and tightens pores; willow bark extract, which promotes cellular turnover; and a combination of soothing antioxidants like white tea and licorice root.
Since many breakouts can be prevented with regular exfolation and routine facials, I also included some of my favorite pore products for unclogging pores. First, there's the Murad Pore Reform Skin Smoothing Polish ($30 at Sephora.com), which includes micro-polishing beads that remove dead skin cells and decongest pores, along with witch hazel and cinnamon extract, which tightens pores and balances oil production. To soften the skin, the formula also incorporates starflower extract. Another great product to both prevent and treat acne flare-ups is the Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask ($25 at Origins.com), which contains activated charcoal that, like some magical skincare Pied Piper, draws dirt and debris out of clogged pores. The best-selling mask also contains white china clay, which absorbs any toxins lingering on the skin, and lecithin, which helps to dissolve impurities.
I admit had a very difficult time narrowing down the selection of cosmetics to showcase, but I tried to focus on makeup that was easy to apply and was beneficial to skin.
I started off the segment by talking about the importance of using a good primer and I mentioned two of my personal favorites. First, there's the Dr. Jart+ Pore Medic Pore Minish Primer ($32 at Sephora.com), which minimizes the appearance of pores and reduces any facial shine thanks to the incorporation of laricyl, otherwise known as mushroom extract, thereby improving the skin's surface and creating more of a matte finish. The betaine in the formula soothes and softens the complexion, while the hyaluronic acid hydrates it, leaving skin looking plump and youthful. Second, there's the Per-fékt Skin Perfection Gel ($48 at Sephora.com), which makes skin appear airbrushed by reducing facial redness, tightening pores, hydrating and softening skin, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and boosting the complexion's radiance. This do-it-all primer contains vitamins A and E as well as alpha lipoic acid, a wonderfully potent antioxidant that works to repair cellular structures and promote cellular turnover.
BB Creams and Foundations:
Next, moving on to the complexion, I chose some excellent alternatives for girls with oily skin to get some coverage without clogging pores or seeming too "done up." First, I chose the Dr. Jart+ Bounce BB SPF 30 ($48 at Sephora.com), which functions as a tinted moisturizer, sunscreen, and facial treatment in one handy compact. Formulated with memory shape polymers, this innovative BB cream has a lightweight texture that adheres to the skin perfectly while the puff applicator feels gentle on the skin. Most importantly, this BB cream contains some great-for-skin ingredients like hyaluronic acid and Nordeau water, which moisturize the skin and makes it look supple and healthy; hydrolyzed marine collagen, which tightens the skin; pomegranate extract, which helps to boost skin elasticity; and elderberry and grape seed extracts that prevent premature aging signs from emerging. When more coverage is desired, there's the Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation ($8.99 at drugstores), an oil-free foundation that delivers light to medium coverage, keeps shine at bay, doesn't clog pores and instead allows skin to breathe with ease, and moisturizes the complexion with vitamin E.
Cheek Colors and Illuminating Powders:
Next, to give the skin a healthy glow, I featured the Physician's Formula Nude Wear Nude Glow Powder ($14.99 at drugstores), which bestows a lit-from-within glow to the complexion thanks to translucent, light-reflecting pigments that enhance the skin's natural radiance. To give the complexion a sun-kissed, fresh-off-a-trip-to-St.-Tropez faux tan, I recommend the Tarte Colored Clay Bronzer Blush & Brush ($32.99 at QVC.com), a stunning mineral powder mixed with colored clay that can be used as a bronzer or swept atop the whole face for a sun-kissed glow. The lovely bronzer blush's surface has a stunning leaf pattern embossed on it, and it comes with a bamboo brush that distributes the color with ease. Lastly, to give cheeks a touch of sheer, believable color, I suggest the Tarte Cheek Tint ($30 at QVC.com), a blush in a cream form that comes packaged in a retractable tube and can be rolled directly onto cheeks then blended in with fingers for a subtle just-pinched effect. Each Cheek Tint is formulated with Tarte's t5 Superfruit Complex, which contains botanical ingredients and antioxidants that hydrate, soften, protect, and tone the skin.
Mascaras and Eye Shadow Pencils:
For Fall 2014, lashes take center stage, becoming longer and more voluminous than ever before. To make lashes appear bolder and more dramatic, I recommend the Maybelline New York Volum'Express Pumped Up! Colossal Mascara ($7.77 at drugstores), which features the biggest brush to date of any Maybelline mascara, enabling the application of more collagen onto lashes for 16 times their original volume. Who needs false lashes, right?
To give lashes a dose of playful color, the best best is the Ciaté Lashlights Mascara ($17 at Sephora.com), which comes in fun shades like Electric (blue), Serene (purple), Famous (hot pink), Surreal (aqua), Nightingale (navy blue), and Nymph (green). These mascaras feature wands with easy-to use comb-like brushes that allow you to swipe on the mascara without it looking heavy or clumping. The effect is vivacious, youthful, and bold.
Since high school and college girls are always in a rush, I thought the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour ($28 each at LauraMercier.com and Sephora.com) eye shadow pencils since these come in stunning shades and are both easy and quick to apply. Laura Mercier recently introduced six new shades to the collection — among them Peacock, which I raved about on air — for a total of 18 long-wearing, crease-resistant, richly pigmented colors. Best of all, you can simply glide the Caviar Stick atop lids rather than worry about flat brushes and crease brushes.
Lip Colors:
Moving onto the pout, I focused on a variety of lip colors. For girls who love shiny lips, there's the Covergirl Colorlicious Lip Gloss ($7.99 at drugstores), which features vitamin E to moisturize and soften lips and features a pleasant texture that's not too sticky or tacky. For girls who want just a touch of color (or whose moms don't want them wearing highly saturated lipsticks), the new Clinique Chubby Stick Baby Tint Moisturizing Lip Colour Balms ($17 each at Clinique.com) are just the ticket. These lip crayons are infused with mango butter, shea butter, jojoba seed oil, and vitamin C to replenish, nourish, and soften the pout, and they come in four deliciously translucent shades that play up the natural coloration of each woman's lips, so that the color looks different on every woman, as if custom made for her.
Another lightweight lip color option is the Josie Maran Argan Infinity Lip and Cheek Creamy Oil ($18 each at Sephora.com), a creamy color formulated with 97% natural ingredients — especially fatty acid-rich argan oil. Each squeezable tube contains a creamy color that, when applied to the skin, melts and takes on an oil-like form, delivering a sheer veil of color that can be dabbed onto cheeks or patted atop lips. To give your pout a stained effect, try the Smashbox Be Legendary Long Wear Lip Lacquer ($24 at Sephora.com), which combines the shiny finish of a lip gloss with the conditioning vitamin E of a lip balm, the bold pigments of a liquid lipstick, and the longevity of a lip stain.
Girls who like traditional lipsticks, meanwhile, can invest in the Jane Satin Split Lipsticks ($8 each at Kohls.com), each of which juxtaposes two tones so that you can mix and match as desired, creating countless tonalities with a single lipstick.
Eye Shadow Palettes:
These three eye shadow palettes will make any gal's heart go pitter-patter. The Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Shadow Collection ($49 at TooFaced.com) comes n a rectangular compact with a top lid molded to resemble the surface of a chocolate bar — down to the conjoined cube forms. Once you open that top lid, you find 16 eyeshadow shades formulated with anti-oxidant rich cocoa powder (how fitting, right?). The shades consist of pretty neutrals like Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate, and Salted Caramel, as well as subtle lilacs and plums like Candied Violet.
Another great neutral eye palette is the Laura Mercier The Wearables Baked Eyeshadow Palette ($34 at Ulta.com), which consists of five baked shadows infused with white tea extract, cucumber extract, and vitamin E. The vibrant colors in the palette — Sable, Mulberry, Oyster, Honey, and Khaki — not only look vibrant on lids and shimmer playfully, but they feel extraordinary thanks to the antioxidants in their formulas.
For a more adventurous look, try the Topshop Smoky Eye Palette in Atlantis ($22 at US.Topshop.com), an eyeshadow quad with two electrifying blue hues wedged in between black and white shades.
I showcased several beauty cases in the segment — including the Trina Campout Pencil Case shown above ($12 at Ulta.com), which features leopard spots in inky blue, aubergine purple, and hunter green. It's the perfect case in which to carry such essentials as Boscia Green Tea Blotting Linens ($10 per pack at Sephora.com), handy sheets that absorb oil without disturbing your makeup and are infused with antioxidant-rich green tea extract; the em by Michelle Phan Pillow Plush Cushiony Lip Balm ($15 at EmCosmetics.com), which gives the pout a sheer dose of color; and the Sephora Luxe Combo Travel Brush ($15 at Sephora.com), a portable brush with hair-smoothing boar bristles.
Right behind it, to the right, is another amazing makeup case — this one from Sonia Kashuk's Fall 2014 collection. The Sonia Kashuk Triple Train Case ($19.99 at Target.com) comes in an on-trend houndstooth pattern with lush roses emblazoned atop the black-and-white print for a more feminine twist.
For this segment, I focused on four nail lacquer collection. Two of these pay homage to London — the Ciaté Big Beauty Bus ($25 at Sephora.com) and the butter LONDON Brick Lane Collection ($45 at butterLONDON.com). The Ciaté Big Beauty Boss comes in a box that pays homage to the iconic red double-decker buses seen in London and features five paint pots inspired by the city's rich history: Pom Pom, a candy apple red reminiscent of these tour buses; Hopscotch, a fiery orange, Ferris Wheel, a baby blue hue inspired by the London Eye; Snow Virgin, an icy white that could very well pay homage to Elizabeth I, the "Virginal Queen;" and Locket, a sparkling silver shade inspired by the Queen's jewels. The butter LONDON Brick Lane Collection, meanwhile, celebrates the city's vibrant street art scene with a combination of brick-worthy terracotta and vibrant creamy yellow, deep aubergine, and 3D glittery taupe.
Another exciting Fall 2014 nail lacquer launch is the new Jin Soon Tess Giberson collection which includes five shades inspired by the notion of reinvented classics, of traditional shades made modern and unusual via special effects like shimmer and speckles. The collection includes the following five shades: Nocturne, a blackened gray with a metallic finish; Mélange, a silver hue with dark gray speckles; Ferrago, a reddish plum purple with a hint of molten gold; Pastiche, a peachy apricot hue with golden shimmer; and Heirloom, a mysterious, shimmering turquoise blue. Each nail lacquer retails for $18 and is available at select Sephora locations, select Barneys NY stores, and JinSoon.com.
Last but not least, if you love matte nails, check out the Topshop Matte Nails lacquers ($10 each at US.Topshop.com), which incorporates funky periwinkle blue, cobalt blue, baby pink, vermilion, chalk white, and blood orange shades.
Want to follow in the footsteps of Katy Perry, Demi Lovato, Kylie Jenner, and Nicole Richie and experiment with a rainbow hair color? Then do so without making any long-term commitment (or damaging your locks) with one of the temporary hair colors on the market.
The L'Oréal Professionnel Hair Chalk ($24 each; visit LPsalons.com) comes in five flashy shades — First Date Violet, Blue Ocean Cruise, Coral Sunset, Garden Party, and Sweet Sixteen Pink — and is formulated with water-based ink and micro-fiber polymers so that the dye clings to strands without damaging them. You can apply it all over strands, create colorful highlights by focusing on sections of hair, or even experiment with an ombré effect, and it will last 2-10 shampoos.
For even less of a commitment, there's the Rita Hazan Pop Color ($18 at RitaHazan.com and Sephora.com), a spray-on hair color inspired by graffiti art. To use, you simply have to spray the color on dry hair and wait 5 minutes for the dye to set. Available in pink, purple, and turquoise blue, this aerosol hair color contains no harmful ammonias, peroxides or bleaches and it washes out after 1-2 shampoos.
Another excellent option — and the most affordable — is the Garnier Color Styler ($7.99 at drugstores), which delivers bold and adventurous color to strands and washes out within 2-3 shampoos.
After a long summer of diving in swimming pools, swimming in the ocean, sunbathing, and playing in the sun, it's time to check those strands into rehab. The Dove Pure Care Dry Oil Shampoo and Conditioner ($4.99 each at drugstores) are the perfect way to replenish and soften strands since they contain macadamia nut oil and coconut oil that leave your mane feeling silky without weighing your hair down (read my review on these here for more details). Another moisturizing marvel — particularly for those who favor all-natural products, since it contains 97% natural ingredients — is the Yes To Coconuts Ultra Moisture Conditioner ($7.99 at Target stores) which smells like a tropical paradise and contains coconut oil along with argan oil, sunflower seed oil, aloe juice, and avocado extract.
To detangle strands without tugging or breaking them, try the Drybar Lemon Drop Daily Detangler ($15 at Sephora.com), a lightweight brush with a soft-touch handle and cushioned bristles that can be used on both wet or dry hair.
Once you're ready to style your hair, you can do so in a cinch with the John Frieda Salon Shape Hot Air Brush ($39.99 at Ulta.com), which features an oscillating brush that allows you to give hair the loose waves you desire. If you want to give hair more volume and protect it from the heat emitted by your fave styling tool, apply the delicious-smelling Fudge Urban Iced Raspberry and Vanilla Mousse ($9.69 at Target stores) to damp strands before styling. If your ends are a bit frayed, meanwhile, smooth on the Fudge Urban Miracle Ends ($9.69 at Target), which contains argan oil and will temporarily seal dry ends and keep frizz at bay.
When your hair needs a refresher, meanwhile, spritz on the Drybar Triple Sec 3-in-1 ($25 at Sephora.com), a multi-functional spray that helps to give strands a flexible matte texture, boosts fullness and adds volume, and absorbs oil thanks to the crystal clear microphorous minerals in the formula (much like a dry shampoo).
And, to work strands into elaborate French braids or fish braids, you can rely on the Oscar Blandi Pronto Braid Paste ($25 at Ulta.com), which is formulated with microcrystalline wax and lanolin wax to give hair the grip necessary to sculpt elaborate looks.

Father Dagon
There's something about Dagon's expression in that middle panel that makes me laugh. I love the idea of a rampaging beast having second thoughts in the face of a horde of flying rats.
Dagon was the first one of Lovecraft's creations that I came across, even before Cthulhu. I read The Shadow Over Innsmouth almost by accident as I'd picked a book at random while I was waiting at a friend's house. I can't remember which collection it was in, but that was all it took to hook me into Lovecraft's Mythos. Who doesn't love inbred human/fishman hybrid people?
I'd love to know which one of Lovecraft's (or anyone else's) stories got you into the Mythos. Leave a comment below!
I'd also like to give a shout out to Mike Davis and the Lovecraft Ezine. If you haven't seen the Lovecraft Ezine and you feel like a dose of tentacular horror then I can highly recommend it, it's really well produced and puts out some excellent new fiction that follows Lovecraft's themes.
P.S We would love it if you would tell your friends about Cthulhu Slippers with the sharing buttons below.

Common Problem about the module compatibility †
This page collects some known problems common to modules that can't work on Cube Legacy 2.1.
The module system is uninstalled †
Description †
Some Xoops2 modules get a module object from the system module. Since, the module "system" is not required by Legacy, it's not installed by default with Legacy package. So you have to install the module "system" to avoid such issues with those modules.
Work around †
You can install the system module into your site.
The list of modules which have this problem. †
- Gmap
- blocksadmin
If you experiment such problem with other modules, please, update this wiki.
The text sanitizer class of module †
Description †
Some modules have the text sanitizer class as a sub-class of MyTextSanitizer? class. If the sub-class overrides the constructor with an empty function, it results in a fatal error.
class FooTextSanitizer extends MyTextSanitizer { function FooTextSanitizer() { } }
Unfortunately, it's one of the problems that Legacy can't fix.
Work around †
Developers have to call the class constructor.
class FooTextSanitizer extends MyTextSanitizer { function FooTextSanitizer() { parent::MyTextSanitizer(); } }
The list of modules with this problem †
- XWords
XWords †
Open class/xwords.textsanitizer.php, and modify with the following code:
function XwordsTextSanitizer() { parent::MyTextSanitizer(); }

Read Some Of Our Amazing Customer Testimonials!
We are having our 2016 Grand Caravan serviced today. We try to service it whenever it is due or as close to the service date. We have always been very happy with the service personnel and would recommended family and friends to Melloy Dodge

Pront and cordial serv good qualiry of serv .service person with smile on his face ,nice to be arround
Took vehicle in for service and service tech offered and explained service plan that i was not aware of. took advantage of the plan which will save money from what i was going to do. outstanding service and will continue to use melloy dodge for my vehicle.
I just want to thank the hard working mechanics, and also the staff in the repair shop.
As usual, RAYAN MELLOY demonstrated to be a very attentive helpful and pleasant sales person, that is why with his service I have purchased three new vehicles including the Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Cab two days go, a Dodge Eldorado Citadel and a Dodge Challenge at your dealership within the last four years. I would also like to mention another sales person, SHAWN NEW, whom upon my visit to the dealership approached me in a very cordial manner, I told him that I would like to see Rayan since he is my usual sales representative, he told me that Rayan was not there and he would be happy to mention my visit to him. The next day Rayan called me and ask me if I could see him. I was able to finalize the purchase on the same day. SHAWN NEW, with his technical knowledge helped familiarize me with various components of Uconnect GPS Navigation, Phone, Sirius etc. SHAWN told me to come back anytime if I need help in the future. I most say this is excellent service. Thank You, Rayan and Shawn. Giuseppe
Six hour process, this was our 5th purchase. Jeremy is great!
I always look forward to visiting Melloy Nissan whenever I am in the area.Whether it is Service or Sales related. Melloy is truly an exceptional dealer and all their employees are super. The goal is to keep you completely satisfied.
Mike Anderson is awesome.
Service consultant, Mike Anderson, was great. The wait was a bit long, however. I dropped the vehicle off at 11:00 am and left the service department at 5:30 pm. I took the vehicle for a 75,000 mile service.
This was my second new car I bought from Molly, Susan went out of her way to make me fell comfortable and made the buying experience GREAT
Excellent. No waiting, very professional and helpful service managers. Zero problems.
Service was completed quickly and courteously.
If I were you, I will talk to Mark Chavez about buying a car. I already had a deal set up in California where I live. I was in town for one night on business, and I took two buses to get to this dealership just to see a certain color on Nissan Rogue. I had just swam laps, so I was in my gym suit, wet hair, plastic bag in my hand. I definitely didn't look like someone who was going to be buying a new Rogue, or any car for that matter. When Mark approached me, I told him, "Listen, I am only here to look at the color. I don't live here and I don't want to waste your time." He smiled and said "No problem, I don't have anything else to do right now." So we became kind of like friends and we started talking about the car. We checked out a lot of cars. He gave me the prices he could sell the cars for, and I knew his prices were excellent since I had done so much research on the vehicle. I ended up test driving the car to my hotel where our visit ended. Mark said he has sold a lot of cars. He is able to do that because he is a good person as well as a good salesman. If you want a car, do your research, have your questions ready and go see Mark.
After a very long month, I am very pleased to say they melloy nissan has gone above and beyond to satisfy my family! Roy Benson has been amazing, Susan Miller has always been an amazing sales woman, and all of sales and financing! I'm extremely happy! I will go back every time! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!
Melloy Nissan was a HUGE help to my boyfriend and me this past week. We stayed in LA all summer and figured we'd stop by ABQ on our way back to St. Louis (home!) where I have an important job interview. We were 20 minutes outside of Albuquerque when our 350z suddenly overheated and lost engine power. Completely unfamiliar with the area, we called AAA and asked that we get towed to the nearest Nissan dealership. Thank God it was Melloy! We ended up having to park the car in the street since they were closed for the night, so we dropped our keys in the drop box and prayed that our car could get looked at first thing in the morning. My boyfriend got called BEFORE 7:30am (the service dept's official opening time) and was told that our car would be their top priority. The staff was incredibly reassuring and told us they'd try to finish the radiator repair by the end of the day. Turns out, Melloy had to get parts from two separate stores yet still had the car ready to go by 5pm! Not only that, but we were able to get picked up from our hotel by an extremely courteous and friendly Melloy employee named Steve. The repairs definitely weren't cheap, but pretty comparable to anywhere else. Everyone was friendly and really understood that we were in a bind. Thanks to Melloy I'm getting to my interview on time tomorrow!
Hey Toby, just wanted you to know that Keith and I are still absolutely in love with our car! We still think you put a curse on it though, because we ALWAYS have flies all over it. I guess we could look at it like that is you always being with us!!! LOL.
I am driving a 2013 Nissan Maxima and was in Albuquerque on business when something went wrong with the transmission that kept it in a low gear preventing me from being able to drive more than 40 MPH. I brought the car into Melloy Nissan's service department and they did an exceptional job of taking care of me and my vehicle. Since I needed to make it to my meeting and there were no loaner or rental vehicles available, the General Manager, Roy Benson loaned his personal vehicle to me, allowing me to make it to my appointment on time. As it turned out, the problem was with my Maxima's ECM and Melloy Nissan replaced the part under warranty. they had my Maxima fixed, washed and ready to go by 2:00 PM. To say I am impressed is an understatement... This has got to be one of the best dealerships I have ever had a vehicle serviced at... And, I have used a lot of them!
My experience was wonderful!!! Ronnie is a great sales person he was able to answer all my questions very friendly and great personality. Highly recommend him and Melloy! Thank you!!. This is my second Nissan purchase at Melloy I couldn't be happier with my experience at Melloy Nissan. I will continue to purchase my cars at Melloy
We were notified that there was a recall on our Altima, so we made an appointment to take it in for Mike Anderson to look at it. He looked at it personally, and checked for other recalls. We were assured that all was good to go. Once again, we are TOTALLY satisfied with Melloy, Mike and the entire crew! I am really sorry that you, Brian J., were not satisfied with the way you were treated, but it definitely worked out for the best for you!
I just want to say that Melloy Nissan did it again! To be exact, Juan and toby. My husband and I took our Altima in to set up an appointment to have the transmission looked at, because it was acting up. We had already made the appointment with Mike out in the service dept. On the way out, we stopped by Toby's office to say hello. My husband made the comment that we should "just go look at the new Altimas". To make a long story short, we left there with a BRAND NEW Nissan Altima. We just thought the Altima couldn't get any better.....We absolutely love our new car. Like I have stated before, we are customers for life! Both of our car buying experiences were fantastic. We are definitely treated like family there. Thank you for everything!
Great service! Jimmy was a great salesman and had a no pressure approach. This was the second car I bought from Melloy in 3 months. Go in and ask for JIMMY!
everything about my car buying experience was exceptional. I love my new car. I highly recommend Melloy Nissan for your car purchase.I will go back when I am ready for another new car. thanks Nissan
m very happy I bought a car from these guys there awesome they both help me out with a vehicle my car broke down and I was with my wife and 3 month old baby and Dante was awesome he help me out if it was for him I really dont know where I would be give 5 stars more if possible telling everyone to go now seriously go!!!! Awesome people thanks melloy Nissan for my car and helping me when in need thanks.
I came in one afternoon and was just browsing around and was helped by Mr. J. Tabares. He was very helpful, knowledgable and very friendly. I would recommend this dealership to anyone for having employees like him. I was very satisfied with my visit. I would be going back when I decide what I want.
I went to Melloy Nissan. Bob Lee showed me around and talked to me about different vehicle options available. Bob Lee was very knowledgeable Great customer service!
We purchased our used Murano at the big Tent sale in Albuquerque, a couple of weeks ago. The vehicle was pretty dirty due to rain, when we got home and washed the vehicle, we found a couple of dings on passenger side door and drivers door. Then the front bumper had a ding, I truly thought nothing would get fixed, but I was wrong. Our sale representative, Lahny Porter and his Manager, took care of those dings for us. I want to thank them for their customer service. Their "paint touch-up guy" does excellent work!!!
I purchased a new Vehicle At Mellow Nissan In Albuquerque. Great service my second Nissan to buy love this dealership. Jimmy Winslow handled my sales very friendly, helpful, polite. Answered all our questions. Enjoyed working with him. I would do business with him again. Everybody at this dealership is friendly and helpful, even in the service department, they take very good care of me. My service man is Brian he is very friendly and helpful also. I always get great service.
Very professional& not pushy great service
Very happy brandon always makes sure we are taken care of
Excellent! Mike Anderson has been taking care of my cars for 10 years now. Melloy Nissan Services is aswsome
Awesome!!! Very helpful friendly staff.
Good overall. Just wished you guys had a larger selection of vehicle for people with bad credit like me.
We always get great service from Mike Anderson!
Best service ever! Josh you are great
I highly recommend Melloy Nissan, our sales person was Susan Miller. Susan did an exceptional job and provided great care for us.I have purchased 2 vehicles from Susan and if we ever have the need will definitely go back to her and Melloy Nissan.
I had the best experience at your dealership in Alb. NM.! I was respected and treated with dignity and I didn't even have a man with me! My salesman (Ronnie L) was very helpful and treated me as though I had some sense, hence, I gave him my business....THANK YOU RONNIE! I LOVE MY NEW FRONTIER!! C U @ THE NEXT PURCHASE!
Just purchased a 2014 Rogue and the sale and paperwork went very well. Traded in a Murano which was our first Nissan purchased at this dealership. Their service team aims to please which why I chose to buy another vehicle at this facility.
The experience in buying the new Titan Desiel was done in a very professional way thanks to Stephanie, my salesperson. Stephenie was great in getting all the facts and specs on the truck that I bought. All questions were answered. Stephanie and the sales manager, and service people have been great in helping me understand the truck I bought. I will highly recommend Melody Nissan and their staff if anyone is looking for a desel truck that can compete with the big boys, such as Ford, Chevy or Dodge. Thanks Stephanie and Melody Nissan.
Melloy Dodge, I believe we made an excellent decision in having purchased a Murano from Melloy. We were treated very well and worked with us to find the best vehicle and price range to fit our particular need. We were allowed to make a good decision without continual sales pressure. It was a pleasing experience compared to a former purchase from Reliable Nissan. I would definitely recommend Melloy Dodge to anyone that wants an honest and safe transaction. Thank You ! Billy & Geraldine ( Gerri) Sena
Awesome customer service! Vernon Rollerson is an amazing salesman. He made me feel sure when I wasn't. I am very pleased with everything. Thank you for my new car!
I had a wonderful sales person! William pulled out 5 sets of keys and was very patient with me. I did not want to drive the vehicle on the freeway and he understood and let me choose the route of my test drive. We started with a Nissan Pathfinder next a Ford Explorer. After I had test drove the Ford, he was ready for the next pick. I was sold on the Nissan Pathfinder! It is a perfect vehicle for my family. I have purchase the last 5 vehicles from Melloy. I love the treatment that me and my son received on the day of purchase for the new vehicle. My son is special needs and William took all the time to explain and answer every question my son had! I think that is what really sold me on the Pathfinder. It is an Amazing Vehicle! Whom ever owned the car before us took amazing care of this vehicle. Thank you so much for having sale people that are not pushy!
It took less time to find what we were looking for than any purchasing experience. The guys really wanted to work with us to make it happen. Great experience.
Hit and run. I will bring with me the insurance contact information so that you can contact them. Damage to passenger side door and frame near and on bottom just barely in front of the wheel well. Also Diff Lock light sometimes stays on as well as the antiskid light (lock). After a short time the Diff lock light goes off and the ABS light goes on as well as BOTH antiskid lights. There might some alignment issues or brake issues, but I have had no detectable change in break performance. I live in Cleveland, NM and will need a loaner or rental. This be a drop-off with a pick-up after the repair is completed.
My vehicle is at 100,000 and needs serviced. Please let me know of what it entails and a quote for the service. Thanks
Excellent service. Susan was the best.
great service mike is always there to help. Very happy with the outcome
Love Mike Anderson. Always treats us like royalty!
all is good with Melloy / Brian in Service!
Awesome. Great customer service.
Bruce took great care of us as always.
I came in to get my axles replaced and John helped me right away. They took my car in and I got a rental car for the day and I was on my way. They did a great joy on replacing my axles.
10 was really pleased to work with melloy nissan and they re outstanding salesperson
I had to take it in for a recall. My 2nd recall since I bought the car. My first experience wasn't that great, but this time around was a lot better.
I had to bring the car in due to a recall notice.
We would like the splash guard of our 2016 Nissan Altima to be retouched.It was hit against the street curb. We have purchased the Environmental Vehicle Protection coverage. Is the repair free of charge?
Services for me are always by appointments which are convenient for my schedule. Very courteous service.
It has always been a great experience to bring my car in for service. My service rider has always been very professional and taken care of anything that I have needed with my car.

Excellent same day service for a problem with my Leaf. Brian was great.
Was treated very good salesman was great
I wanted a particular color rogue and Marcus got it for me.
As soon as I pulled in I was greated by a very nice gentleman. As soon as everything was completed he went over everything that was done. He was very kind as was the whole staff while I waited.
(My last visit was 11/20/2014): Brought it in for a Lube/Oil/Filter change, rotate tires, and to fix a loud 'fluttery' noise coming from behind the dash whenever the fan was running. Brian Dau had me in and out in under an hour with everything done, and the fluttery noise gone.
Experienced dealership has large inventory and sales person promised to beat the quote I had from another dealer
It was short and sweet ..........
I brought in my Altima to have the tires rotated and have it checked over. They found a hose that was leaking and it was replaced for no charge due to being covered in the warranty period.
I want to send out a BIG THANK YOU to Mike Anderson, Chris Del Frate and the Service Dept at Melloy Nissan. They got our car in and out in no time. And this is why we are continued, loyal customers! Keith and Teresa Roe
Bought my vehicle here about a year and a half ago and have had all service on it performed at the dealership. They gave me a good deal on a car and the service department is excellent! The gentlemen that work here always keep you up to date during your appointment on what's going on with your car and make it right if something goes wrong. I would recommend Melloy to anyone looking to buy a new car and to have it serviced here!
I am very pleased with the fabulous customer service I received this past weekend while car shopping for a new vehicle. I have had past experience with Melloy Nissans service department & the great service I have received there was reason enough to return to buys a car from Melloy. I must say the sales reps & management within the sales department is just as good as their service department. My family & I will definitely be repeat customers.
By far the best experience in buying a vehicle! Our salswoman, Susan Miller, was knowledgeable and listened to our wants and needs. She was extremely attentive and patient with our tired two year old. We walked away with exactly what we wanted, an excellent interest rate and a lower payment than we expected . The financial officer, Ken Engle, was also direct and to the point. I am beyond pleased with their customer service!
Best Body Shop Ever!! Rick in the Collison Center took care of my repairs and I got my car back sooner than expected. Very professional and my car looks beautiful again!!
We were traveling across I-40 and had car problems. Worried about being stuck at a shop for too long, we called ahead and spoke with Jeff in Service. He was great, had us bring it in, and dealt with the problem quickly. It was just a battery problem, so not a huge deal, but they took care of us and got us back on the road!

Rating: Very good (4 / 5)
Watch was good but could do with extra holes in the strap as it was too big for my grandson aged 12 who has only a slim wrist and has to wear a sweat band underneath.We were told to punch a hole in the strap would probably break it.

This is a Christmas present so not much to go on at the moment but first impressions, it looks good, very nicely presented. My 12 year old asked for a digital watch for Christmas, I found it difficult to find something in between a childs watch and an adults watch, but this seemed like a great choice. Arrived quickly.

Breakfast cookies again! Totally appropriate for winter.
With the Boston Marathon fast approaching, I've had to wake up early to get my training in before work.
I rise at 5am, take the bus to the gym, hit the treadmill, come home to have coffee with Paul, and head across the street to work. It's the early rising that encourages me to make things that are more grab and go. Whether I make granola bars, muffins, or breakfast cookies, they are all very much welcome at 5 in the morning when I can barely tell the difference between my toothbrush and my hair brush.
I like to make sure I have a big breakfast in the morning, so when I enjoy breakfast cookies I like to have two or three and then have a piece of fruit, some yogurt or a smoothie with them.
But, if you're one of those people who doesn't like breakfast, then these are perfect for you!
They're packed with bananas, peanut butter and oats and have some chocolate chips in there for fun…
…chocolate was necessary, okay?!?
Drizzle is necessary too. Especially when peanut butter and honey are mixed together.
Peanut butter + honey for life!
I made these while my sister-in-law was visiting and we ate them as a snack too. Naturally, these were gone in two days.
So grab some coffee in a travel mug, a few cookies and run out that door! I've got you boo.
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1 tbsp liquid honey
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed
- 1 1/2 cups large flake oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp liquid honey
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the butter and sugars with an electric mixer together until smooth. Add in peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract and egg. Beat together until combined. Add the mashed banana and mix until combined.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the banana mixture until just combined. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips. Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place dough mounds on baking sheet spaced at least 2 inches apart and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until edges are brown and tops are just set - even if slightly undercooked and glossy in the center, don't overbake! Cookies firm up as they cool.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, make the glaze by whisking together all of the glaze ingredients until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons of milk to start, and then check to see if your glaze looks like it can drizzle. If mixture is too thick, adjust by adding more milk. Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies.
- Cookies will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week.

I went to a job interview the other day at the Airport, when the interviewer asked me about my interests. I was glad I managed to give a good first impression.
"It says here in your interests that you like to walk the dog and that you also like to travel around the world!" he said. "I'm extremely impressed."
I absolutely love my yo-yo.

Compilations / Mixes
Okamoto Noriaki may be an established Tokyo-based audio-visual artist and Tama Arts University Graphic Design graduate, but Telescope shows that the Osaka-born artist is equally talented when in the area of music production. There's little tentative about his first album under the okamotonoriaki name, and the album's ten pieces are more polished than one would expect from a debut outing. In contrast to Mü-nest's more pastoral output, Telescope is an upbeat and exuberant set of electronic pop-infused tracks brimming with sing-song piano melodies, colourful synth effects, and punchy drum beats; percussion flourishes and an occasional glockenspiel add to the material's sonic richness (perhaps most evidently heard during the closer Home, which surrounds its sparse piano melodies with chattering clicks, blips, and other textures).
Island effectively eases the listener into the album with four laid-back minutes of piano-driven electro-pop underpinned by a dub-styled lilt and elevated by smatterings of synthetic sparkle. The similarly dub-inflected Polynesia finds crackling textures panning across the stereo field while ambient synths flower and a deep bass line throbs. One of the album's major strengths is its beats. The supple downtempo funk groove Noriaki produces in Lighthouse from drumbeat programming, for example, breathes as naturally as if a live drummer had recorded it to tape. The muted trumpet sounds and ostinato piano patterns in Wyburn likewise receive a major boost from the crisp kick of the song's driving pulse. Remove the the rambunctious beatwork charging across its flickering keyboard melodies and Polar could easily pass for a lullaby.
As pleasing a listen as it is, the album isn't without its missteps. Recorder would be a passable marriage of hyperactive breakbeats and dancing melodies were it not marred by an annoying computer-generated voiceover. Such lapses in judgment are few and far between, however, and appear to a lesser degree than normally occurs on a debut outing. (The first 100 of the limited edition, 400-CD run include a DVD featuring exclusive videos of three album tracks.)

What are Peptides?
Peptides are a major breakthrough in the skincare industry, as the basic concept has allowed for high-tech skincare products that deliver powerful results. A peptide is a chain of two or more amino acids - imagine pearls linked together on a necklace. These amino acid "pearls" are arranged according to the desired purpose of the peptide. These purposes include firming the skin, plumping and filling fine lines and wrinkles, reducing inflammation, inhibiting wrinkle-forming facial expressions and lightening hyperpigmentation. Peptides can provide dramatic improvements in tone, texture and elasticity without irritating the skin.
Peptides may also serve as a carrier, signal or neurotransmitter. As a carrier, a peptide can deliver ingredients deep within the skin. As a signal, a peptide can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, thereby plumping and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. As a neurotransmitter, a peptide may inhibit muscle movement for a Botox-like result without using any neurotoxins.

Ingredient knowledge: peptides in skincare products
Peptides are strains of amino acids. Shorter strands consists of 2 or more amino acids, longer more branched strands, consist of 50 or less amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins in our system. Collagen, which consists of these strands, breaks down over time. All these components together is what helps to keep our skin firm, toned and non-wrinkled. Peptides are also the signaling response to our fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are responsible for elastin and collagen production. Certain peptide combinations determine the molecular make up and chains of the peptide to help encourage the beneficial response of collagen...Read more
