bareMinerals Customizable Get Started Kit
I have been a fan of bare Minerals since 2008 and I have never found a foundation that works as well. I did stray away from them for a little while and tried out some other high end foundations, I have even tried Sheer Coverage not sure if they are still around but they are very similar to bare Minerals but you can enroll and get it sent to your house ever X amt of days, I liked that a lot but it just didn't compare to the quality and coverage you get with bare Minerals. You do really have to learn how much you need to use but once you do your gold you can build your coverage to suit your skin type which is a big plus. If you haven't tried the bareMinerals Customizable Get Started Kit and are looking for a great new foundation I suggest picking it up they make two different finishes original and matte. If your skin tends to be more on the oily side I suggest going with the matte because it will help control the oil throughout the day. The kit is a really great value you pay $60-$63 dollars depending on which foundation finish you go with and you get three brushes which are high quality super soft and not scratchy on the skin plus warmth, mineral vale, and prime time face primer. Warmth is really nice to give you that sun kissed glow no matter what color your skin tone is. Mineral Vale is a finishing powder that sets your makeup and gives you a photo finish look. I don't use it in my everyday makeup routine just because it is one extra step, but I do use it on date nights and when I have extra time because it does make a difference. Prime Time is also a really great product that helps take away any flaky dryness, fills in fine lines and makes pores look smaller. It leaves your skin feeling silky and not sticky or greasy. If you haven't tried it go out and pick this kit up its worth it and your really getting your moneys worth.
Overall Rating:
Would I recommend it:
Absolutely especially if you have been searching and searching for the perfect foundation.

Villa Majorca: the quintessential Gables apartment lifestyle
They call Coral Gables "The City Beautiful," and many times its been rated as one of the best places to live in America.
On the picturesque streets of this magnificent city, people love to stroll and browse the stylish boutiques, the eclectic galleries and the highly acclaimed restaurants.
Now there is a new address that combines the boutique feel of 36 residences with the charm of classic Gables style. Villa Majorca offers the comfort and carefree convenience of renting an elegant home in a prestigious location, as well as the choice of exceptionally spacious apartments designed for a luxury lifestyle, says a spokesperson for the developer.
Only a few blocks from Miracle Mile, a few minutes from the Biltmore and the University of Miami, and a short drive from Downtown Miami and the beaches, this stylish, new residence on a quiet, palm-lined street offers the convenience of a central location along with the "walkability" that everyone loves in the Gables, says the spokesperson.
The large two-bedroom and three-bedroom-plus-den apartment and townhome residences range in size up to 2,000 square feet and come with two complimentary parking spaces.
Designed for a stress-free lifestyle, without the demands of ownership and without the long wait for elevators, each unit is also equipped with an emergency voice communication system for any medical needs or urgent situations, says the spokesperson.
Residents can enjoy their own clubroom, rooftop garden with Jacuzzi spa, sun deck with outdoor grills and personal gym right at home. Further, an on-site manager/concierge and activity director will be available to attend to all resident needs.
Residents can join the club at the Biltmore for convenient golf, tennis, and spa and pool privileges, only five minutes away, or enjoy membership at Riviera or Coral Gables Country Club, just a few blocks away.
They can stroll to favorite restaurants like Houston's, Tarpon Bend, Christy's, La Dorada and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse, as well as favorite shops like Books & Books, Design Within Reach, Kreiss Collection, Bertini and Barnes & Noble. The nearby GablesStage and Actors' Playhouse are among the best theatres in South Florida.
When heading on a trip, residents can just lock the door and travel without worry, says the spokesperson. Miami International Airport and the cruise ship docks on Biscayne Bay are about a 10-minute taxi ride away.
The city, the Grove, the beaches and the Keys are all within easy access, and the carefree lifestyle of Villa Majorca means that residents are always free to enjoy them all, whenever suits their whim.
The newly built Villa Majorca is almost ready for occupancy, and pre-opening rentals now range from $2,295 to $3,500.
For more information, please contact the rental office at 305-448-4849. Villa Majorca is a property by Florida East Coast Realty.

Reading Time: 6 minutes
We live in insensitive times. Trying to be smart, we often land up being rude. The Now Gen, uses cuss words at the blink of an eye. The F-word has creeped into our conversation in such a way that it is often used at homes, offices and other public spaces with impunity. Women's body parts, along with our mothers, sisters, daughters are used as galis (abuses). Rhiti takes a hard look into the prevalence of rape culture that's no longer a submerged reality (read violence). The author gives a clarion call to put an end to the rape culture. An in-depth report for the special issue of Different Truths on Human Rights and Legal Issues.
When a certain Bollywood celebrity loosely used the term 'rape', there was a massive mass media and social media outrage.
Were you angry too? Were you offended like the rest of us?
May I question, why this outburst of anger at one individual, when we all have trivialised rape in one way or the other. This is simply a reflection of rape culture that our so called civilised society harbours.
And you may like it or not but you and I are an equal part of it. Yes!
First, let's get it straight, "What is rape culture?"
Rape culture prevails in any society where sexual violence is not only regularised but seen as normal and excused in the media and by popular culture. Rape culture is propagated by the use of misogynistic language in creating a society that disregards women's rights and safety.
In simpler words, when we as a society take part in victim blaming, use rape jokes, objectify women in media, glamorise sexual violence, don't report it to police out of shame or fear, use it as a tool of warfare, it all adds up to rape culture.
Rape culture affects everyone. Worldwide.
The rape of one person is a degradation, terror, and limitation to all of humanity.
However, over thousands of years it is mostly women and girls who limit their social behaviour, dress accordingly and live in fear of rape. Men, in general, do not. That is a curse of our patriarchal society, which we bear often silently.
Rape functions as a powerful means by which the whole female population can be held accountable and kept in a subservient position to the entire male population. Even though many men don't rape, and many women are never victims of rape. This vicious rotation of fear is the legacy of the rape culture.
Global Epidemic
To be absolutely precise, I am going to bullet point almost all the things that add up to rape culture. And no, it does not belong to India alone, it is a global epidemic.
- Victim blaming is a prime example of the prevalent rape culture. It is when we blame the victim instead of the rapist! For example: 'She deserved it', 'She was asking for it', 'She was so sexually active that it is no surprise that someone raped her', 'Forcing a prostitute to have sex is not rape!'
- Slut shaming is another way of contributing to the Rape Culture by using statements like: 'What was she doing there at night?' 'Why was she alone?' 'What was she wearing?' 'Was she drunk?'
- When responsible people in the media, political or social circle trivialise sexual violence with statements which encourage violence against women. 'Boys will be boys!', 'He was just having fun', 'If you can't stop rape, you must enjoy it'
- When rape jokes are made, circulated in social circles and considered funny it is the foundation of Rape culture. You may search the internet and will find millions of such examples. (See attached Images.)
- Relating rape to only one gender is another aspect of rape culture. As much as women are victims of it, it is equally horrific for men and transgender people who have been subjected to it. Yes, men, boys and transgender people are raped too! And being gay has nothing to do with it; a person's sexual orientation can't be blamed for this heinous crime.
- When we teach our girls 'not to get raped' rather than teaching the boys 'don't rape' adds to the same circle of rape culture.
- Sexual objectification of women in media enhances this as well. The surge of item numbers, use of vulgar language in songs is on the rise. It is perfectly normal for us to sit in our living rooms, with our family and watch the heroine gyrate obscenely to songs like "Mein toh tandoori murgi hoon yaar, gatkale saiyan alcohol se" (I am a tandoori chicken, eat me up with alcohol!)
- The false notion that it is okay to force women. How many times we have seen films where the hero forces a heroine to say yes, or go out with him by following her, singing and whistling and dancing behind her?! And in the films at the end, they finally live happily ever after. This is a completely wrong message to put across! For, in real life 'the hero' following and pestering 'the heroine' could be a potential stalker and sexual offender.
- When rape threats are used to scare people in cases of political feud, property disputes and general arguments. Threats like 'Teri beti ko utha ke le jaayenge' are so common. 'We will rape your daughter/wife if you don't listen to us' 'We will see how the women of the house return home unharmed at night' are examples of how crudely rape is used as a tool of terror.
- When the word rape is used to signify something else, like a sports team being defeated badly or to state a different physical condition or mental condition, is another prime example of rape culture. Example: 'Bangladesh was raped at the ODI by the Indian Team.' 'I felt like a raped woman after the gruelling session at the gym' 'My ears were raped by the loud music playing at the bar.'
- Unreported rape cases, unknowingly add to the rape culture as well. A lot of families and individuals do not report a rape case out of fear or shame, even the police sometimes advices not to pursue the case if a celebrity or an influential person is involved.
- Use of rape as a war or oppression tool. When it is used by armies to terrorise and punish groups of people. Wartime sexual violence throughout the world is probably one of the most gruesome techniques used in warfare in our human history.
The list could go on and on. But you get the picture. Right?
Do you know how many rapists are behind prison bars right now? Of all the reported rapes only three per cent of the accused are currently serving term in the world. I am not even counting the numbers, which were not reported. If this doesn't scare you what will?
How to stop the Progression of Rape Culture?
- Avoid using language that objectifies or degrades women, transgender people and gay men.
- Speak out if you hear someone else making an offensive joke or trivialising rape. Stop forwarding WhatsApp messages which contain such material. Stop friends from cracking obscene rape jokes. Report the person to the police, if necessary.
- If a friend says she has been raped, take her seriously and be supportive instead of asking her to forget it and move on with her life.
- Think critically about the media's messages about women, men, relationships, and violence. Boycott advertisements, songs, films, books which make people think 'It's okay to rape'.
- Defy patriarchal norms, give your daughters as much love and respect at home as your sons.
- Demand for fast track, efficient legal actions against the rapists. Sign petitions. Write about it. Make people aware.
- Do not generalise and say 'All men are potential rapists'. They are not. Most men are good and well principled, who think of rape as a heinous act of violence. Always remember men don't rape, rapists rape!
- Don't draw parallels of other events like sports with 'being raped'.
- Be respectful of others' physical space even in casual situations
- Teach the meaning of consent to children. The difference between a yes and a no!
- Do not let stereotypes projected in the media shape your actions, men and women are not meant to be boxed in defined by the media.
We can fight this, together. Please help spread awareness. If you and I can't leave a better future for our children, who will?
Let's search our souls and say no to rape culture.

A Mother's Day jaunt to Southborough, Massachusetts, just outside Boston where my Mom resides with my sister Deb, had me in town for the Spring '16 New England planting season. Deb and her husband Kevin have a stretch of rolling green rock-walled acreage – Fog Land Farm – in the Tiverton Four Corners area of Rhode Island. They start their garden with Rhode Island Certified Organic vegetables, fruits, and herb seedlings featured at the historic Casey Farm in Saunderstown, R.I. Casey Farm uses methods that are absolutely free of chemical pesticides and fertilizers and is certified organic by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Along with the historic Watson Farm, the Casey place is a part of Historic New England, one of the oldest and largest regional heritage organizations in the nation.
We explored the working farm, established in the eighteenth century as a plantation to grow food for Newport and other coastal markets, and learned more about the role of farming in colonial Rhode Island. Touring the farmyard and family cemetery, the graves of six generations of Caseys dotted the land. Trails led to organic vegetable and flower gardens, grown for Historic New England's Community Supported Agriculture program. We also visited with heritage-bred turkeys and flocks of Dominique and Rhode Island Red chickens.
Getting a healthy jump on a mix of fresh organic vegetables, fruits, herbs and pick-you-own flowers, here my sister shows off a family 'heirloom', actually an Armenian striped cucumber. The Armenian cucumber is the "zucchini" of the melon family. Though it is botanically a melon like a cantaloupe or a honeydew, it's used like a cucumber because it tastes like one when it's cucumber-size. Back in Michigan, I'm looking forward to another season of learning and experience forwarding the gardening efforts at The Higher Haven, with an eye towards vibrant, farm-raised food eventually being an important element in our equation for transformation, health and happiness.

Hi Folks,
Pastor Blake & Lynda from Penticton, Canada on behalf of the PureLoveNow Krew in Kenya with some recent developments and news.
First off I want to welcome all the folks that we met at Mission Fest in Edmonton, Alberta and Global Citizen Kelowna, British Columbia. You were an inspiration and a huge blessing for us! So many of you spent time getting to know Lorna's vision and what PureLoveNow is all about and you encouraged us to keep working on behalf of the next generation in Kenya. Thank You from the whole PureLoveNow team. You can't possibly know how much it means to each member. And they want you all to know that they pray that God will bless you abundantly for the encouragement you've shown.
It was amazing to see the generosity of those at these two events. In Kelowna we were approached by one man who is developing houses and buildings that can be shipped in containers anywhere in the world and put up with a minimal amount of effort and training in less than a week. They are extremely light weight and very durable, (a 50 year guarantee!) completely water and mold resistant and so much more. When he saw the Pure Life Center he spoke of how his organization could help with those structures and the cost would be significantly less than traditional building even in Kenya! Since they only need assembly and even that takes very little time the whole compound could be put together in less than a month. Even the shipping containers would be repurposed into support buildings. Currently the units have been tested in places like Haiti after the earth quakes and other disaster areas. We'll be keeping in touch with him.
Both at Edmonton and Vancouver Mission Fests we were approached by an Architectural Firm from Calgary that offered to send a team of Architects to our site and develop the plans to Kenyan building codes and Canadian specifications. This organization would send the whole team of Architects do so for the price of one ticket to Kenya and food and board while they are there. What a Blessing! All we need next is enough money to come in for the land. http://purelovenow.org/build/
In Edmonton I met many folks but one couple blew me away with both their heart for mission and their immediate generosity. They helped pay this month's rent in Kitale! It was like God knew we were short a bit on rent and they were his instruments of keeping a room over the heads of the staff in Kenya.
Speaking of staff check out http://purelovenow.org/contact-us/staff-2013/ . Get to know the folks who are on the ground and please please please keep them in your prayers. Some of the places they have to go are very dangerous…and some of the big momma's and pimps are vengeful when the children leave their business of prostitution.
Someone asked me in Kelowna if we only help "Christian" kids off the streets. I assured them that we don't check their denominational ties or discriminate in any way as we are cleaning the filth off of those who have been abused sometimes 10 to 15 times a day for months on end. They don't have to say the sinner's prayer to be treated with pure love. We see all children and youth as those who were made in the image and likeness of God and help them to learn to trust that God wants more for them than the abuse that mankind has shown them. On my last trip over I met a young Muslim at one of our weekly meetings who was so thankful for the safe place to be with peers and the support and encouragement from DJ, Jimmy and Lorna. If memory serves me right, around the room was not only Kenyan but Indian, Ugandan and Sudanese kids. And we never force anyone to leave or withhold pure love if they don't accept "Christ as their Saviour". But we do teach from the Bible, principles of pure love, compassion and mercy with forgiveness as seen in the life of Jesus.
This month PureLoveNow Krew was invited to several schools in the Kitale area bringing a team of excited youth who danced and sang and energized audiences to receive the good news. More than 2500 children learned about love that is pure and how to escape from becoming victims of sexual abuse and human trafficking. Jimmy and Lorna and others of the team helped the children to know they were valuable in God's sight and NOT objects to be abused. The response to the good news was amazing and unfortunately tearful as well. The Krew seldom, if ever, leave such an event without speaking to kids who have broken with taboo and spoken of their abusive relationships. As a father, I cry every time I hear the stories Lorna relays. She's right! Someone has to do something about this! Is that someone you?
In February, another mission agency in Kenya approached Lorna to help a suicidal pregnant teenager. Upon meeting the young lady Lorna found out that she was raped by an officer of the law about seven months ago. She didn't realize that she was pregnant at first and kept quiet about what had happened. She felt ashamed. Upon realizing her condition, she broke the news to her mother and step-father, who then got angry and abusive and threw the young lady out on the streets. Her mother had little choice in the matter because she was next if she went against her husband. Mom put what little money she had in the youth's hands and sent her off to the big city with about enough for a day or two in a "beyond seedy" motel. There are no social safety nets in Kenya. This girl would have to turn to prostitution or die of starvation for jobs are few and far between. She knew no one…what would YOU do?
Despondent and quickly out on the streets this girl decided suicide was better than prostitution. God miraculously directed her path to the other mission agency who immediately thought of Lorna for counselling. The two connected and now she is placed in a safe rental and has seen a doctor for the first time in the pregnancy. But funds on hand don't permit an ultrasound or hospital delivery to be done. Lorna and the team chose to live on less for the next few months so that this young girl can just live. In a couple of months when the baby is born and she's able PLN will help her find a job but until then she needs pureloveNOW.
A quick note From Lorna:
"In the past week we have had elections. We thank God that it has been peaceful in most areas including ours. We fear it may change in the next couple of days as they still haven't announced the Presidential verdict. However they did announce the Governor and Senate. One of the losing Governor candidates was in town yesterday trying to start a riot, people were looting, but it was quickly shut down when police arrived. Please continue to also pray for our safety and for peace in the country.
On another note, we were recently approached by a woman for help. She is pretty ill and has not been working and the father died. The woman told us that the way she saw it her babies (two beautiful young ladies) would have to go into working at night in order to go to school. As we talked with her we realized this woman was serious that she would send the girls to work as prostitutes. Disgusted by the fact that mom had no choice in the matter we agreed to pay part of their school fees. We will be visiting and following up on the girls twice per month. The girls are in the equivalent of grade 10 and grade 12. We paid $60 for their school fees but they are still in need!"
You could help couldn't you? You could GO and help PureLoveNow in Kenya to show pure love to children and youth or help the Team with your talents. You could GIVE to extend pure love to the youth of Kenya on your behalf. Or you could PRAY for those who do go and our team of Kenyan's who live to show pure love. Or perhaps you could arrange a fund-raiser and help others support PureLoveNow. How will you help? Please let us know soon.
This month Lorna and Jimmy and the Krew really need your financial support. Their rent went up in Kitale and so has the cost of food and basics of life. The extra cost of the young lady I spoke of is about $100/mo. Their team fasts when they run out of supplies and would just as soon not have to ask but their mission is too critical not to ask. Can you give up a cup of coffee a day and put the proceeds towards Purelove each month? How about foregoing one dinner out and sent the money you would have spent their way? It truly will make a difference in their life and the people they help.
Blessings! Pastor Blake & Lynda

FET Logistics are proud to work with a wide range of clients. Here is just a small selection of feedback that we have received from our freight forwarding clients.
We at DHL have been using the services of FET over the last 17 years, I have always found them to be punctual, professional and offer a very good service. The fact that we can allocate a delivery/collection to a UK or European destination and then wash our hand of it, knowing it will be monitored closely and communicated if there are any challenges along the way. We often use the refrigerated vehicles and have been impressed with this service with fridge print outs and overall communication and service we have received from them.
Chris Cooper, Senior Transport Supervisor, DHL
Within the years 2002 to 2008 FET Logistics and XLLOG Aviation Ltd in London managed a large project within the aircraft parts world for a known German world market leader in tooling and for a well known producer of aircraft engines based in DERBY, UK.
Within this project, FET assisted us in opening up the XLLOG Aviation and also: Sourcing Warehousing and Distribution within the UK, Europe and in the rest of the world were the most important points to achieve. The XWB engine has more than 120000 tooling parts and that was just the beginning.
We were proud to find and to work with a FET, being flexible, liable and reachable 24/7. These are strengths, which are not common in our logistics world, but within the Aircraft world are absolutely necessary.
Dirk Boehmel, Managing Director, XLLOG GmbH
Strategic Shipping
In the past 2 years Strategic Shipping have employed the services of FET Logistics Ltd for the transportation of both temperature controlled and general shipments. During this time, we have found them to be a very professional business with competitive rates.
Every member of the FET staff of whom we have engaged with have been very pleasant, helpful, have a positive attitude and have also at times have offered us problem solving advice and solutions which we have found to be a great asset to their services.
We have been delighted with the service FET have provided us with so far and we look forward to continuing our working relationship with them in the future.

An historic Japanese Second World War fighter aircraft has taken to the skies for first time in 71 years over Southern Japan. The Zero was flown from Kanoya naval base in Kagoshima by a former US Air Force pilot on 28 January.
The newly restored plane was in the air for around 20 minutes. The aircraft was originally rediscovered in Papau New Guinea in the 1970s before being restored by an American collector.
It was more recently bought by Masahiro Ishizuka, a New Zealand-based Japanese businessman, for ¥350m (£2m, $3.5m) in 2010.
Ishizuka said: "I wanted for the people of Japan and especially young people to know about this Zero airplane, as well as those who are old who remember the past. Each of them should have different thoughts and perspectives on this, but I just want people to know how Japan has developed its technology."
Zeros were used for kamikaze operations during the Second World War. In terms of design, they were generally seen as a symbol of technological advance in the country, similar to the Spitfire in the UK. The Zero measures 9m (30ft) in length and 12m (39ft) in width.

This private property and you should obtain permission from the landowner before visiting this location.
Spaff's Grave is located 2 miles west of Hwy 14 on West 14th Rd.. It is just EAST of the railroad tracks and SOUTH of 14th Rd.. You can see it from the road. It is situated under a grove of trees.
The Haunting:
The story is that if one visit's Spafford's grave and walks across the grave, one will die an early death.
The History:
We were not able to definitively track down a suitable reason why there is a lone gravesite outside of town. No one that we interviewed knew who was buried at Spaff's grave. However, we did learn of a man named N. P. Spafford who served as postmaster from 1874-1878. Apparently, the post office was moved from a place called "Spafford's Grove" in 1872 when David Stone became the postmaster.
We also found some information about a Jarvil Chaffee who was the first white settler in Hamilton County. Both "Spaff"-ord and "Chaff"-ee could be shortened and perhaps be the origin of "Spaff"'s grave lore. Of course the name "Spafford" is more amenable to being shortened to "Spaff" after many years, the fact that a fellow named "Chaffee" was the first white settler is definitely worth noting.
We spoke with a number of senior citizens who noted that they were among those who dared to walk across Spafford's grave as young adults. However, it is an eerie experience to visit an old tombstone situated by itself under a grove of trees in the middle of the wintery night.
Other Related Haunts:
There are a number of haunted locations in Aurora including Witch's Grave, the Aurora Courthouse, and the Hamilton Motor Inn. If you have a chance to visit the city, don't forget to take a look at the other haunted places that are here.

So, a bunch of TED talks are now on Netflix. So I watched a bunch. Now, I am fairly ambivalent towards TED. I like the idea of disseminating what may be challenging or revolutionary ideas in ways that are easily understandable. But then what of the unbelievably expensive price tag for showing up?[i] And they give people like Jamie Oliver, Bono and Bill Clinton lots of money. Anyway, I like hearing people sentimentally talk about outer space. So I watched those. I watched the ones about robots. Cause I like robots. I also decided to watch a talk by J.J. Abrams. Abrams is probably best known for his involvement with TV shows like Alcatraz, Felicity, Alias, Fringe and Lost. He is also now helming the revamped Star Trek franchise. He also wrote Regarding Henry. Abrams' TED talk, which he called, "The Mystery Box," is about the importance of mystery in culture.
[i] I know you can watch the videos for free because I just did.
[ii] This was one of my favourite tricks when I was a kid.
[iii] I also really like the first half of the second season.

Urinal Targets
|I stumbled into this post on Seth Godin's Blog that caught my attention to the point where I actually looked at the Trackback log. Creative innovation like the Urinal Target (did I make that up?) is inspiring – it sparks the Entrepreneur in me. The product opportunities here are amazing to the point where I really should be keeping this stream of thought to myself. Procter and Gamble would make millions selling Urinal Targets in the U.S. alone. Can you see it? Or, should I say – can you hit it? [Pick your enemy] Urinal Target, Incredibles Urinal Targets, G.W.B. Urinal Targets, the possibilities are endless.
Did some more research and apparently the toilets in the Schipol Airport (Amsterdam) get noticed bit it stops there. Makes me wonder why somebody isn't selling Urinal Targets that can be applied to existing toilets.

This article about former University of Virginia lacrosse player George Huguely V, who is accused of killing classmate Yeardley Love, incorrectly said that Michael Mullally is a business associate of Huguely's father. Mullally is a business associate of the Galliher & Huguely lumberyard and is a friend of members of the Huguely family, but he does not know George Huguely IV.
George Huguely, accused in Yeardley Love's death, was a man of privilege, rage
Sunday, May 23, 2010
On the day before he was charged with first-degree murder, George Huguely V walked the fairways and greens of Charlottesville's exclusive Farmington Country Club, the Blue Ridge Mountains at his back.
The University of Virginia men's lacrosse team, ranked best in the nation, had just won the last regular-season game of Huguely's senior year. The 22-year-old and some teammates had gathered at the club with their fathers to celebrate the storybook ending and to look forward to the NCAA tournament.
Within hours, according to police, Huguely would kick down the bedroom door of his former girlfriend, Yeardley Love, and smash her head repeatedly against a wall.
On Sunday, while his classmates finish their school careers amid the pomp and pride of a U-Va. graduation ceremony and his teammates play a quarterfinal tournament game, Huguely will remain in the 4-by-8-foot jail cell he has occupied since police found Love facedown in a pool of her own blood on May 3. She was buried five days later.
The two sides of the George Wesley Huguely who could stroll a manicured golf course in the afternoon and allegedly commit an unfathomable act of fury in the wee hours of the next morning were not unknown to his friends and teammates. Huguely had a mercurial temperament. He was sometimes chivalrous, occasionally savage. He drank prodigiously, and that habit had resulted in previous violence.
"Every time I see Yeardley's face on a magazine, I want to die. None of us can believe this actually happened. It doesn't click. It doesn't jibe. It doesn't work," said one family friend. "The George we knew wasn't capable of that. There had to be a different George that was inside that head."
This picture of Huguely and Love, herself a U-Va. lacrosse player, is incomplete because most of those close to them declined to speak to The Washington Post. Neither of their families would speak to reporters. Others asked for anonymity out of respect to the Loves or because the police investigation is continuing. Public records and statements by police and university officials tell only pieces of the story.
* * *
Huguely was a child of divorce but knew few other deprivations. He spent some of his teenage years in a million-dollar yellow brick home on a 1.5-acre corner lot in Potomac, where a boar's head hung over the fireplace. His round face came from his mother, Marta, a part-time model at Saks Fifth Avenue.
He was "the most friendly kid I've ever met," someone who "shook your hand and looked you in the eye," said Michael Mullally, a family friend and business associate of Huguely's father.
Huguely's great-great-grandfather co-founded the Galliher & Huguely lumber yard in Northwest Washington in 1912. The family invested in racehorses and a 1,000-unit apartment complex. Some family members had lifetime memberships at Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase and the Annapolis and Corinthian yacht clubs.
Before Huguely reached his teens, the Huguely family splintered in an ugly divorce. A legal agreement from 1997 required that George Huguely IV and his ex-wife would speak by telephone every Tuesday at 9 p.m. They could discuss the children -- George and his younger sister, Teran -- only if neither child was in earshot. The parents pledged in court not to criticize each other.

BACM Research - PaperlessArchives.com has announced the publishing of World War II Marine Corps official history volumes created by the United States Marine Corps' History and Museums Division
Online PR News – 27-September-2012 – Los Angeles, CA – BACM Research - PaperlessArchives.com has announced the publishing of 29 volumes of World War II Marine Corps official history created by the United States Marine Corps' History and Museums Division.
For the complete description, sample images, or to obtain this collection go to:
Included among the volumes are:
A Chronology of the United States Marine Corps 1935-1946 - Derived from official records, this chronology is a ready reference by time sequence to Marine Corps activities from the introduction of amphibious concepts in 1935 to the return to peacetime strength after World War II.
Special Marine Corps Units of World War II - Tells of the development, deployment, and disposition of the five types of special units: raiders, parachutists, glider forces, barrage balloon squadrons, and base defense battalions.
The Right to Fight African-American Marines in World War II - President Franklin Roosevelt ordered that the Marine Corps begin accepting African-Americans into a newly created segregated system in July 1942.
Breaking the Outer Ring - Marine Landing in the Marshall Islands - By the beginning of 1944, United States Marine forces had already made a dramatic start on the conquest of areas overrun by the Japanese early in World War II. Successful American assaults in the Southwest Pacific, beginning with Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands in August 1942, and in the Central Pacific at Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands in November 1943, were crucial campaigns to mark the turn of the Japanese floodtide of conquest. The time had now come to take one more decisive step: assault of the islands held by Japan before 1941. These strategic islands, mandated to the Japanese by the League of Nations after World War I, were a source of mystery and speculation. Outsiders were barred; hazardous fortifications were presumed: yet any Central Pacific drive towards Japan's inner defense ring had to confront these unknowns. The obvious target to begin with was the Marshall Islands. As early as 1921, a Marine planning officer had pinpointed their geographic significance.
Closing In - Marines in the Seizure of Iwo Jima - Iwo Jima represented at once the supreme test and the pinnacle of American amphibious capabilities in the Pacific War. The sheer magnitude of the task, planning the assault and the sustaining of that many troops against such a formidable objective made Operation Detachment an enduring model of "detailed planning and violent execution." Here the element of surprise was not available to the attacker. Yet the speed of the American landing and the toughness with which assault units withstood the withering barrages astounded the Japanese defenders. Iwo Jima in American hands produced immediate and highly visible benefits to the strategic bombing campaign. Marines fighting on the island were reminded of this mission time and again as crippled B-29 Superfortresses flew in from Honshu. The capture of Iwo Jima served to increase the operating range, payload, and survival rate of the big bombers.
The United States Marines on Iwo - Battle and the Flag Raisings - This concise narrative of the Marine battle for Iwo Jima and the events surrounding the famous flag raisings atop Mount Suribachi was compiled from original records and appropriate historical works. Includes biographical material on some of the flag raisers.
Other titles in this collection include:
The Final Campaign Marines in the Victory of Okinawa

When starting your business, one of the long term goals is expansion. You always seek to enhance your customer base, open new branches as well as add more products to your online store. All these objectives are anchored on your ability to convince potential customers and also retain current clients by providing high-quality products. Also, you look on enhancing your brand to gain these customers trust.
In achieving these objectives, you have to market your business. In this digital-driven era, online marketing should be your first choice. Here are the five reasons why:
Competitive advantage
All businesses seek a competitive edge over their opponent. Most of them compete for few customers in the local market. For this reason, businesses are moving on the virtual platform through setting up websites as a way of gaining competitive advantage. A startup or a small entrepreneur creating an online store as a mode of internet marketing is one way of gaining a competitive advantage.
Through online marketing, you gain an opportunity to compete with large organizations operating in your niche. Importantly, all websites depend on search engine optimization. Hence, regardless of the size of the company, if your business website ranks well on the search engines, you will receive large traffics than a large organization. Massive traffics mean more sales and revenue as well as more expansion in future.
Easy way to measure your business success and failures
Unlike the ordinary marketing campaigns where it is not easy to tell whether your efforts bore fruits, online marketing is different. When running online marketing, you know whether you succeeded or not through checking on the number of conversions your online store are gaining. If your sales and leads increase, then that campaign is successful, and the opposite is true.
Additionally, online marketing helps you to target a particular niche and use the language they understand best which may be a challenge to other methods.
An opportunity to interact with current and potential customers
With the rising rate of social-based business, social media marketing is a crucial part of online marketing. Social media platforms are now the largest marketplaces where businesses seeking to expand can fetch a significant number of customers. As such, if your business is to expand, you have to invest in online marketing and particularly social media marketing. Through these platforms, you can interact with prospects, share information about your product as well as convert them into regular customers.
Importantly, online marketing offers you an opportunity to collect information from the customers on the feature they would like to see in your products. As such, when producing your products, you always design them to fit their purposes. In the long run, your online business earns a growth in customer base.
Easy way of accessing your competitors
The best trick to win in any war is to understand the strategies of your enemies. Similarly, for your online or offline business to grow, accessing the marketing strategies of your competitors is essential.
With online marketing, you can access this through checking your competitor's search engine rankings and the ways they use to communicate their message to target customers. This way, you can develop a super online marketing strategy to counter your competitors and help your business grow.
As seen, business online marketing is a pillar for any enterprise whether you are operating an online or offline business. This concept offers you an opportunity to develop a competitive advantage over your opponent. Also, you get a chance to interact with your customers. This way, you get new ideas of developing customer-targeted products and services. Click here to get started!

In speaking about this, Mark van Berkel - CEO of TrueNorth stated - "We are extremely pleased to recognize Bill Arsenault from Mid-Canada Mod Center (MC2) with a Lifetime Achievement Award." He continued by saying "TrueNorth and MC2 have significant accomplishments together and this is due, in no small part, to Bill's sustained relationship with us.

The DLU is TrueNorth's hugely successful—and the only FAA, CAN and EASA TSO'd C159a for FANS over Iridium—flight deck communications system.
According to Arsenault - "We were one of the first companies to install TrueNorth Simphonē equipment and in all the years of dealing with them, our collective focus has never wavered. TrueNorth doesn't just pay lip service to this philosophy - they act on it. We believe in their products and we continue to work together to explore new ideas as they grow. I am deeply honored to accept this award. It is refreshing to have a relationship with an OEM like TrueNorth who shares our long term values and shares in the success."

I recently had a serious craving for toast. We don't keep bread around the house, so loaves of delicious, seedy bread are sort of a treat.
The craving also consisted of a variety of toppings, mostly
combinations I discovered several years ago during a trip to Berlin.
Breakfast consisted of bread, jam, cheese, and smoked salmon. All typical ingredients, but I never even thought to eat salmon on toast, and the Quark cheese spread made all the difference.
And then there was Swiss cheese on jam. Yes, it is good.
How do you dress your toast?

John Doe No.1 v. Burke (May 29, 2014)
Appeals Court upheld Anti-SLAAP motion.
In its first decision to interpret the District
of Columbia's Anti-SLAPP law, the D.C. Court of Appeals quashed a subpoena to
an anonymous Wikipedia user sued for defamation. The D.C. statute goes further
than other jurisdictions in protecting anonymous speech by affording anonymous
defendants the ability to file special motions to quash subpoenas for their identities.
The Court first held that it had jurisdiction to hear an appeal from the trial
court's denial of the motion. On the merits of the motion, the Court held
that plaintiff, an attorney, was a public figure who failed to show that edits
to her Wikipedia page were made with actual malice.

One of the favorite moments on a "Magical Vacation" is emerging from the tunnel under the Railroad station and stepping into Main Street U.S.A.: the charming shops, the street performers and characters, the vintage vehicles, the music, the smell of fresh-baked cookies, the first glimpse of the famous castle ... Main Street is a magical place that awakens all of our senses! Its the first thing you see when you walk into the park as well as the last thing you see before you leave.

I was inspired by a CNN report on Ethical Shopping apps to take a look at what could be an increasingly popular segment of mobile apps. Ethical apps have an element of community involvement, shopping, sharing with friends and continuous updates that make them a compelling proposition not just for the conscious shopper.
There are several country-based apps currently available on iTunes:
1. The Good Shopping Guide priced £2.99 aimed at the UK market
2. The Good Guide (free) aimed at the US market
3. Shop Ethical $2.49 aimed at the Australian market
4. Barcoo (free) developed in Germany but available in English
Barcoo and the Good Guide are also available on the Android market.
One of the key features of these apps is a barcode scanner, with both the Barcoo and The Good Guide apps providing this, though some app developers exclude this as smaller brands would 'slip through the net'.
Data on the 'ethical footprint' of specific brands is normally gathered from Ethical Trade Associations like Fair Trade or Friends of the Earth. According to William Sankey of the Ethical Company Organisation in an interview for The Guardian although there is growing awareness of the benefits of fair trade and organic goods, there is less information that gives consumers an overall ethical footprint of the product and the company behind the brand.
"Shoppers may be surprised to find that often there is not a price premium [on ethical goods]," he said. Beko, for example, makers of the cheapest larder fridge is also the top-scoring ethical brand in this category.
As mobile commerce takes on a bigger role in terms of overall e-commerce and electronic payments, there is a gap available for Fair Trade Bodies to supply their Ethical Product Databases to online stores and so allow shoppers to make more informed purchasing decisions.

Wishlist Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Pen to Paper where we post about one book that has been hanging out on our wish list (either for a long time, or not so long)
My pick for this weeks Wishlist Wednesday is a book that is actually due out in less than a week and that I already have reserved at the library for when their copies come in (here's hoping, I'll be one of the first to get to read it).
Salt to the Sea
Author: Ruta Sepetys
Release Date: Feb 2, 2016
Genres: Young Adult, Historical Fiction, World War 2 Fiction
In 1945, World War II is drawing to a close in East Prussia, and thousands of refugees are on a desperate trek toward freedom, almost all of them with something to hide. Among them are Joana, Emilia, and Florian, whose paths converge en route to the ship that promises salvation, the Wilhelm Gustloff. Forced by circumstance to unite, the three find their strength, courage, and trust in each other tested with each step closer toward safety.
Just when it seems freedom is within their grasp, tragedy strikes. Not country, nor culture, nor status matter as all ten thousand people aboard must fight for the same thing: survival.
Why am I excited to read it?
Ruta Sepetys' debut book a few years back (2011), Between Shades of Grey, told the story of a teenager displaced and sent to Siberia when Russia annexed the Baltic states in 1941. It was a unique story to me as I read it, because not only did it touch on an era in history that isn't routinely taught in high school (or college to my knowledge), but that it was also based in part on experiences by her family members. Ms Sepetys has the ability to write historical fiction in a way that just sucks you in and if her newest is like Between Shades of Grey, I might have to plan on a sleepless night, because I couldn't put it down…

How-to Create an Azure Marketplace SKU VHD URL
The task is simple, fill in the fill in the Virtual Machine Images -> OS VHD URL box on publish.windowsazure.com for your new Azure Marketplace VM offer.
The tools are good, the steps are relatively few…but the outdated documentation take a toll on any cloud provider. This quick write-up is an attempt to simplify the Azure Certification for Virtual Machines process
Step 1: Create a UNMANAGED(!) VM, to a finished state
Important: This is your VM that will be released to production. This VM will need to be backed up and snapshotted regularly.
1. Install VM UNMANAGED VHD disk on a Storage BLOB
2. Customize VM, to prepare it to the state you wish your customers to see.
3. Install Windows Updates.
4. Setup Backup
5. Snapshot
Tip: Rely on the Default folder to persist files (i.e. Desktop icons.)
Tip: Rely on C:\ folders to persist files. I.e. C:\Docs, C:\WebSites.
Tip: Setup data drives to precede the CDR drive. I.e. The SQL Server F:\ drive gets renamed to E:\. Solved by pre-configuring as E:\.
Step 2: Create your VM Image template
WARNING! Snapshot and Backup VM…before we delete it!
1. Snapshot and Backup the VM for good measure. Restoring will be how we fix this VM and re-release.
Yes, the VM will be unusable after this…just come to terms with it.
2. In CMD (Administrator): Sysprep /generalize /shutdown /oobe
3. Convert Unmanaged BLOB\*.VHD to a VM Image
4. More Services -> Compute -> Images -> Add Image -> BLOB VHD
Precaution: SQL VMs, be careful that the F:\ data drive doesn't change drive letters…SQL Server service won't start.
Step 3: Create test VM from your image template
1. Create a final test-VM from the VM Image
2. Images -> VHD Image -> Create VM. Forces MANAGED, that's ok. The Step 1 VM is the production copy.
3. NSG: Reconfigure all custom ports
4. Test VM
Step 4: Restore, Fix on Step 1's VHDs and Go-To Step 2
1. Restore snapshot, or backup. It was true, your VM isn't functional without a restore.
2. Start VM
3. Fix
4. Go-to Step 2, and try again!
Step 5: Publish to Staging
1. Install Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer (StorageExplorer.exe)
2. Authenticate to your azure account, and subscription. You will see all storage containers.
3. Navigate to the VHD storage BLOB, from Step 1.
4. Right-Click -> Get Shared Access Signature
5. Copy/Paste the COMBINED URL and Querystring to the Azure Marketplace publish portal, under the VHD URL of your SKU.
5. Click Publish to Staging
Step 6: Run Certification Tool (optional)
Involves configuring one-time ports on your VMs, and running WinRM om your VMs.
Refer to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/marketplace-publishing/marketplace-publishing-vm-image-creation
Step 7: Publish to Live!
1. Log onto the publisher portal
2. Go to Publish
3. Click Request Approval for Publish to Production
