Sorry All Over The Place is a collection of songs about being terrified of dying, but even more scared of not living. But, you know. Really danceable.
Hi. I'm Billy. The Kickback started in my Criminal Justice book (the name was in a blurb about Enron. Believe it or not, things didn't turn out so great for those guys) at the University of South Dakota and has since claimed my brother Danny, Washington D.C.-native Eamonn, and Mexico-born Jonny. All I've ever wanted to do is make an album of music I was proud to put into the world. All I've ever wanted to do is to make recordings that would define moments of your life. All I've ever wanted to do is to be your everything, all the time, and without precedent or competition. I want to make a record to make popes (multiple) weep, to make wingless animals fly, and make Michael Keaton notice us and decide to star in all of our music videos for the rest of our lives. And it's time for us to try.
I can't actually explain why this means so much to me the same way I can't explain why "Walk Away Renee" by Left Banke reduced me to tears while riding in a van with my mom around age 7. I understood that after losing a girlfriend in the third grade, I should call the Sioux Falls, SD oldies station and request "Leader of the Pack" by the Shangri-Las and stay up until 10 p.m. (on a school night for God's sakes) waiting to tape the song on my boombox. I understood that "December, 1963 (Oh What a Night)" by the Four Seasons was probably the greatest song ever written (my 10-year-old Christmas proclamation of 1996). Without music, my sorry life isn't worth the skin it's printed on (try shouting that at your wife in the middle of an argument about the volume of The Muppet Movie soundtrack in your apartment), and I want to make a record that will make someone feel the same. I want you to hear our record and feel hope/hopeless/doubtful/stupefied/rejected/rewarded/FULL OF EVERYTHING THAT HAS EVER BEEN A FEELING. This seems to be the best way to make that happen.
We've put recordings into the world. Ask a guy in this band how he feels about them.
Please don't. It's a touchy subject.
We've put out a couple EPs and a few singles, all with budgetary guns pressed so hard to our heads that the inevitable outcome sounded rushed, lifeless, and like the budgetary gun was used instead to shoot ourselves in the foot (to get the most mileage out of a useless metaphor). We've decided to do it right, despite how bloated the number may appear to you or how selfish and unnecessary a Kickstarter may seem when there are so many problems to fix in the world. This isn't a humanitarian effort unless you count the mental health of four frustrated boys in Chicago. If you don't think we won't hate ourselves for every minute of this campaign, then boy you didn't grow up Catholic or Jewish (we've got a healthy mix). But if it's between continually putting out records we don't believe in and putting out nothing at all, at this point we're ready to defer to the latter. But just once, we want to do this right. Make a record as God intended.
But we don't have a label or rich uncles. My desire to make music gets me out of bed in the morning and keeps me from sleeping at night, but wishes and hopes make not a pope weep from the new Kickback record he just heard on his solid gold pope turntable. The pope only weeps if we can afford to do this.
After pooling our collective money, we find ourselves about 16k shy of our goal. Your contribution will help pay for the engineering, the production, the mastering, the PR (eye-roll, yeah, but we have to if we want people to hear it), the packaging, and the distribution of the record. Best case scenario: A label decides to put it out and people are able to hear it all over the world. Worst case scenario: we put it on the Internet and people are able to hear it all over the world. We want to ensure that start-to-finish, what you wind up hearing is the best thing we can offer.
When trying to bring the world to its knees with ecstasy (the emotion), it's nice to have some help. When we found out that Jim Eno from Spoon (and a bunch of awesome records he's produced and engineered) liked our demos and was into making our album, I went straight back to age 7 in the car with Mom. One of my heroes wants to help make our album. The one we're trying to do right. Think of something you love. [Actually do this. Pause for a second, you speed-reading fiend] Now think of the person you think does it as well as it can possibly be done. [Again, give it a sec, Marion Jones] Now imagine them telling you they'd like to help you make something. There's too many vague pronouns for that to make much sense, but sweet Mary Higgins Clark, maybe you can understand my excitement.
We hope some of the perks we've put together might motivate you to help us out, but frankly, you know it doesn't really cover the cost of your contribution. Please know you'll be giving life to something that we've been trying to achieve since I started putting songs into a Tascam Portastudio cassette recorder. This record isn't just about us having a group of songs that we're confident about or working with people that seem to get what we're trying to do; those situations come and go. We want to make a record that does something to you. It makes you hate your in-laws or pity your life choices or love your neighbor or hug a landlord. If these things we've made can't make you breathe heavy for a minute, we'll have failed. And this means too much to us to fail.
Thank you for reading this. Thank you for maybe contributing or at least not publicly calling us names. We can't stop this music thing because it's a sickness. It doesn't relent and it doesn't forgive, but it's what gives us life. I hope you have something you love as much as we love this. It makes the world a better place. It makes life okay even when you're openly begging for money. Let's make some popes cry.
Risks and challenges
It seems like people doing these things have a problem fulfilling their reward promises. Those people are idiots. We have to look you in the eye at some point, and that means doing what we say we're going to do.
Are there going to be problems that arise during the recording and completion of this thing? I can imagine contemplating hiring a hitman to off me halfway through this, but that is the nature of the creative process (mine at least), and this project means too much to us to screw it up.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

A holistic approach to wellbeing: The Health Justice Partnership
Redfern Legal Centre is very proud of The Health Justice Partnership (HJP), which provides access to justice for vulnerable patients in the healthcare system
Health and legal issues often go hand in hand.
A woman hospitalised with domestic violence injuries may need legal help to get an AVO. Someone experiencing drug and alcohol issues could be self-medicating due to a debt they don't know how to deal with. The housing problems of a parent with a sick child could affect their ability to bring their child home.
Compound issues like these can't be solved with medical or legal help alone. That's why the Health Justice Partnership was born.
The Health Justice Partnership (HJP) between Redfern Legal Centre (RLC) and Sydney Local Health District (SLHD) is a NSW-first model which provides access to justice to vulnerable patients.
This innovative model brings legal support within the hospital walls, to ensure the most vulnerable people have access to legal help when they need it most.
Two days per week RLC solicitor Sue-Ellen Hills works with staff from the Royal Price Alfred Hospital to provide onsite legal support to patients.
HJP is an early intervention program, with a two-fold approach. The RLC solicitor teaches hospital staff to identify legal issue for patients so they will know when to refer patients to HJP. Then she can assist patients to solve their legal issues and advocate for them to improve their situation.
RLC's CEO, Joanna Shulman is very proud of what the HJP has achieved so far.
"The HJP enables the respective professions to work together to improve the holistic heath of patients. This not only helps individuals but alleviates the strain on the healthcare and legal systems," she said.
"In six months alone we assisted 62 people, 80% of which would not have accessed legal advice otherwise. The HJP works by not just providing legal assistance to patients, but to also train health care staff in identifying health harming legal needs."
This is the first hospital-based, HJP in NSW. Until June 2016, the service is part- funded by the Gandevia Foundation. Government budget shortfalls mean HJP relies on further external funding to continue providing this unique service.
Medical Journal of Australia covered the HJP in June 2016. Read the article here
The Law Society of NSW Journal featured an article in August 2016 on the HJP and solicitor, Sue-Ellen Hills.

We are well on our way through spring, and summer is just around the corner. The rapid pace of these changes is difficult to keep up with, but I hope you are able to take in the beautiful colors before the next season begins!
Along with the seasonal transitions, it seems like everyone I know is experiencing some other sort of shift in life as well. As we evolve, we sometimes forget to take a step back to smell the flowers, observe the changes, and welcome the lessons that are all around us. By taking this time, we will more fully incorporate the seeds of growth that each moment has to offer.
One seed I'd like to plant is related to an important element of our social branch of soul health—friendship. Without these important connections, our lives would be lacking in so many ways. And as spring sets in, I encourage you to take the time to consider your own friendly connections and enhance them in whatever way that will bring you further soul health. The article below is intended to help you do just that.
I will be taking a break from local workshops and classes throughout the summer months, but keep your eyes peeled for options that will be coming in the fall to the Soul Health Center. Also—if you haven't already considered joining me on the Awakened, Alive, and Awestruck Soul Health Journey through the Sacred Sites of Peru, check out www.soulhealthtravel.com/peru2015. I'd love to guide you through this incredible country as you awaken to your own soul purpose!
In shared light,
Friendship is priceless when it comes to creating soul health. Numerous studies indicate how physical health is improved by having close relationships with even just a few people. While biological family members may play key roles in our day-to-day lives, it is often our entire social network, or "soul family", that brings us the most comfort and joy.
Although friends have always been important to me, it wasn't until my sophomore year in college that I came to understand the different roles that they play—and these distinctions have stuck with me ever since. At the time, I never really considered that different types of friendships existed, but since then many authors have offered descriptions that I now use with others to help them understand these key roles.
In their book Rethinking Friendship, authors Liz Spencer and Ray Pahl provide the following types of friendly connections:
Associates—those who share common activities like hobbies and sports;
Useful Contacts—those who share information and advice whether for career or other purposes;
Favor Friends—those who help each other in a functional, but not an emotional manner;
Fun Friends—those who socialize together but don't offer deep emotional support;
Helpmates—friends who offer both favors and fun but little emotional support;
Comforters—similar to helpmates, but with some emotional support;
Confidants—those who share personal information with each other but aren't always in a position to offer practical help (i.e., if they live far away);
Although different people might define friendships in different ways, the common denominator is that friends help us to feel that we are not alone in life. In fact, many feel as if their friends are just as—or more important—in defining who they are as an individual than any other relationship. In this way, our friends become part of our "soul family", influencing, supporting, and teaching us in ways that we cannot deny the essential roles that they play. As Aristotle says, "A true friend is one soul in two bodies", which indicates the power of having a close connection with another human being.
The social branch of soul health emphasizes the need to have others in our lives. These soul-to-soul relationships ensure that we travel through life with like-minded others, enhancing each other's experiences as we grow and evolve. In urging others to build strong relations, I emphasize the following three words:
Like all relationships, friendships take work. By consciously creating your connections with regard to aligning with your own soul health, you will invite wonderful souls into your life to share with you the many gifts that these relations can bring.
What do you do to consciously connect with others? Who do you invite into your soul group?

BEIJING — China saw rapid growth of invention patent applications from abroad in 2018, according to the National Intellectual Property Administration (NIPA) on Jan 10.
There were 148,000 foreign invention patent applications in China in 2018, rising 9.1 percent year on year. And the foreign trademark registration applications were 244,000, up 16.5 percent.
According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), China ranked top in the number of foreign residents trademark registration applications in 2017, and second in the number of foreign resident invention patent applications.
The number of applications for intellectual property rights (IPR) from foreign residents was the indicator of the country's IPR protection level and business environment, said Bi Nan, an official with the NIPA. China provided an effective guarantee for the IPR of foreign enterprises in China, as well as boosting the technical exchange and cooperation.

When you look at Tim Peltzer, you wouldn't think that this guy once sang for the Tölzer Knabenchor or the Bavarian Opera, but these where Tim's first steps. Also his name might sound familiar: at the age of 14 he was a finalist candidate for "The voice kids". With his extraordinary fashion style and incredible voice, he enchanted Millions of people. After that he worked together with Berlin Producer Phillip Röder (Copilco Productions). His first Song "Silver Linings" which he released in 2014, was popular among his fans and was played on Radio stations and Blogs. In 2016 he released "Black Halo", his first song with a self-made music video. Especially in Russia and Turkey it gained a lot of attention.
Tim Peltzer´s Youtube-Channel has reached 130.000 views so far. Even though Tim had to deal with a lot of stress working for his Abitur, 2016 and 2017 involved many long recording Sessions for his third single "Gold in the Dirt". Together with VIMSFILM he also filmed the music video for the song. After many weeks of hard work and fun, "Gold in the Dirt" turned out to be Tim's biggest project.
Since the beginning of his career Tim, who is now 19 years old, has developed a better sense for music and has taught himself how to use music-production-software to compose songs. Throughout his development, he has experimented with various music genres. For Tim the most influential genre is RnB, and artists such as The Weeknd, Spooky Black or Jessie Reyez are his source of inspiration. As his music sounds more and more mature, Tim also shows his versatility in his constantly evolving fashion style.

Frequently Asked Questions
What finishes are available?
Every drikolor color works with all three drikolor bases. The three bases available are: a dead flat (1% sheen) that works best for ceilings and low traffic areas, an interior flat (4% sheen) this is our recommended wipeable finish for walls, and our water based enamel semi-gloss (20% sheen) for trim and wet areas.
How does it work?
drikolor comes ready to stir into the base paint whenever you are ready to paint. Pour it in, stir, and watch the color come to life. Our colors react beautifully with light—whites will stay white, rather than turning grey. Colors will be vivid and deep.
How can I test the color?
All our collateral is the actual paint on wallpaper, so no need for test pots. The sheets act as a dry test pot. Tape one of our A6 samples to the wall to see true to life color.
Is it hard to use? Does it clump? Does it require special equipment?
No. Our beaded color granules dissolve easily. Any stir stick or even a wooden spoon will do—a couple of minutes of stirring by hand and the color will be fully dispersed. Painting contractors often use a mixer at the end of a drill when mixing conventional paint before application, this works very well with drikolor. Paint is ready to use in 2-3 minutes or when a full, even color has developed.
Does dry pigment effect the coverage of the paint?
Absolutely not, just as the pigments they put in at the paint shop don't effect the paint. We just use much higher quality pigment and more of it—so the colors come out richer and truer. But the base paint coverage remains strong and unaffected. Our high quality base paints are designed for 2 coat coverage, and work over any primer.
Why does multi-pigmentation matter
The more pigmented paint is, the more wavelengths are created , the more interplay with light, and the greater the perception of depth of color.
Can't we take the color swatch to our paint shop?
Conventional paint companies can't offer our kinds of colors, being limited to combinations created with the handful of synthetic pigments used in paint shop tinting wheels. Try to recreate a drikolor color by "color matching" from traditional brands and the difference in ingredients and complexity becomes obvious. It might look close but the colors won't have our depth or purity. The quality of pigments and the amount of pigment used determine the quality of color, this is especially true with whites and neutrals which we make with ochres and bone blacks. The purity of our ingredients make for complex colors.
Why does polychromatic mean?
Complete color made of multiple pigments milled into one single final color granule.
Can I use the pigment in other paints?
You can use the pigment in any water-based paint but we can only guarantee you will get the correct the color in drikolor paint. This is because different paint companies use slightly different bases and weights.
How is the paint base different?
drikolor paint is actually very similar to other premium paints. The difference is in the colors - because of the multi-pigmentation and use of powdered natural pigments.
Do you get the same color each time?
Yes, each bottle is accurately weighed and will provide the exact color, provided all of the pigment from the bottle is poured into the base paint.
Can I make a half-color?
No. Each bottle is accurately weighed and will provide the exact color, thus it would be very hard to achieve an accurate half tone. We do not recommend anything other than one bottle of pigment to one gallon of base paint.
Why is the can larger than a typical gallon?
Extra room is provided in the can to allow room for the stirring in of the drikolor pigment. Smaller jobs are typically done in can, mixed with a kitchen spatula. Most professionals will use a drill bit mixer attachment and many will combine base paint and pigment in their own buckets.
Must I use a base coat or primer every time?
It is not always necessary. If you are painting onto a white surface with a pigment that uses a light base you do not need a primer. If you are using a pigment which requires the deep base we do recommend a primer; this will help provide the richest and truest color possible.
Can I purchase test pots?
We do not sell test pots but you can purchase a color palette pack which has paint chips with each color from the range painted onto them. This way you can take the color chips into the room you are planning to paint, and see the true color react with the light there.
Can I use the pigment in oil based paint?
No, drikolor pigments only work in water-based paint.
Is important to match the Light and Deep base paints to the correct pigment?
Yes, it is very important in order to achieve the correct color. Before mixing the pigment with the base paint, check that the sticker on the pigment and the base paint match. Do not mix a light pigment with a deep base, and vice versa.
How long will the paint last once it is tinted?
The paint with pigment blended will last up to one year as long as the seal of the can is on securely. Ensure no air can enter the can before storing.
Do you sell the base paint in less than one gallon?
No, as the pigment bottles are weighed to correctly make up one gallon of paint.
Is the Interior Water Based Enamel base paint very glossy?
The water based enamel has a 20% sheen; it is the 'glossiness' that gives paint its hardness. So generally the glossier, the harder.
How many coats of drikolor do I need?
We recommend applying two coats. A Deep base color will require at least two coats plus a tinted primer or sealer undercoat.
How do I prep a surface that is to be painted?
Scrape away any old paint and fill in any holes. Sand the walls smooth, dust off and wash down with TSP or sugar soap. Make sure all your walls are clean and dust-free then use a primer if painting wood, or a sealer if you are painting onto drywall or plasterboard. Remove any electrical switch boards and use painters masking tape around window frames, woodwork, moldings and door frames.
How do I apply the paint?
drikolor can be applied as any standard paint, with a brush or roller. It can also be sprayed.
What is good practice for applying drikolor?
Start with the ceiling, cutting in the edges around the ceiling moldings with a cutting in brush. Fill in the main area with a roller, working from the darkest corner of the room towards the light. Work in narrow strips so you can clearly see where you have stopped and started. Paint around ceiling light fittings, then complete the rest of that band. Next, the walls. Start in the corner, cutting into wall edges, window and door frames. Fill the main areas using a roller. Do this in an up and down motion, from top to bottom. Around windows, paint along the top band and repeat at the bottom
Can I use drikolor to paint a floor?
We do not have a designated paint base for floors. Mixing pigment with a base designed for flooring may not achieve the same color as advertised on the pigment bottle.
Where is drikolor manufactured?
The individual color pigments are imported from around the world and then formulated in New Zealand.


text: Or are you coming tomorrow...Zlatan? I saw he was looking for me in the audience. Sorry babe, it didn't even occur to me to look for tickets. Whenever there's an event, concert or whatever that I would have wanted to attent, I won't go if I'm not especially invited. Vampire code. No, I actually had an important meeting today, then a lecture after than, then work, so the day has been full in every aspect. But I actually looked at the Fotbollsgalan on the net. At the exact moment Zlatan came into the picture the phone rang, so I had to watch it all again after the live broadcast. That's how dedicated I am to my subject of interest. There were a lot of northern Sweden associations on the show. The dialect was heard frequently and then the performing woman in a blue glittery pyjama with the weak voice. I think my ex drew her album cover, the one where it looks like she's sitting and peeing.in front of a house. I said it then, that she had zero charisma, and that still holds. Wonder why they asked her to perform? The other singing woman, who sang the national anthem, wore one of my old dresses. I thought I left that one in Chicago, or it looked more like the Lady of the lake dress. The whole thing was a bit like a farewell to the exes and my past selves, all of those I dumped. I'm happy fooball- Sweden helped me with that. It was way more than they deserved though, but I assume the intention was to relate to my life and in this case my past. That is my solipsistic apprehension anyway. So according to the alphabet we are now at X, then I ask Y and then...I bet he's not going to show up, If he does, I promise I will shave off my hair. I swear. I have no classes until Thursday though, so time wise I have a window. It was quite entertaining watching those football women walking around in high heels. I don't wear high heels anymore, it's not worth the risk. Imagine how it is for them then, who use their feet professionally and risk their livelihood because of oppressive dress code from last century. That's the big Y?

Ink Review #223: Robert Oster Terra Australis/
It's new releases week, so today we are going to look at Terra Australis, a new limited quantity Shake 'N' Shimmy ink from Robert Oster. Only 100 50ml bottles were made, and each comes with a letter of authenticity signed by Robert Oster. I purchased my bottle of ink from Pen Chalet, the only retailer in the US to carry it right now.
The color:
Terra Australis is a dark brown with lots of shimmer.
There is a ton of shimmer packed into the ink.
Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.
Dry time: 30 seconds
Water resistance: Low
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium
Bleeding: None
Other properties: Low shading, no sheen, and tons of shimmer.
On 20 pound copy paper the ink behaved really well, just a little bit of bleeding in the large swab.
Ink swabs for comparison, left to right (top to bottom for mobile RSS): J. Herbin 1670 Caroube de Chypre, Robert Oster Terra Australis, and Pelikan Edelstein Smoky Quartz. Click here to see the Robert Oster inks together, Shake 'N' Shimmy inks are at the bottom of the page.
Robert Oster Golden Brown, Montegrappa Coffee Brown, and Robert Oster Melon Tea. Click here to see the brown inks together. Of these inks, I think Golden Brown is the closest non-shimmer ink to Terra Australis.
Longer writing:
I used a medium Edison Nouveau Premier Seaglass on Tomoe River paper. The ink had an average flow, but I was having a hard time keeping the shimmer consistent. The first sentence had good shimmer, then it would decrease for a few lines until I rotated the pen.
Overall, it's a nice ink. I think in the future I would only really use it in a flex nib. The shimmer is just too hard to keep consistent in the smaller nibs. Give it a try, you might love it.
Disclaimer: I purchased this ink myself and all photos and opinions are my own. There are no affiliate links on this page.

The fairy tale is one the bedrocks of western culture. Cautionary tales of wonder and delight, they were created, and eventually written down, to provide moral or simple lessons to live your life by and became of particularly significance for the education and socialisation of children in the early Nineteenth Century. They are about more than just entertainment, but imparted disguised wisdom and common sense.
The Grimms and Hans Christian Anderson twisted their purpose a little, to make them fit the aspirant middle classes and the gender roles of the Nineteenth Century, which were becoming steadily more separate as women were pushed into the home and men became the principle bread winners. In Jack Zipes' Fairytale and the Art of Subversion, he notes that in just two years, 1810 and 1812, Snow White goes from simply having to tend the Dwarves' house to keep her place there, to a long list of chores and the threat of punishment for failing to do so, for example. This was a trend that largely continued up to the end of the Victorian period, though elements of it have never quite disappeared; they crop up frequently in early Disney films for example, and are part of what caused the German Democratic Republic to create The Singing Ringing Tree in the 1950s.
Others kicked back against it too, Angela Carter famously created The Bloody Chamber, a feminist reading of the stories, which spawned Company of Wolves in the 1980s. This opened the gates to other interpretations, a trend that continues to this day. Horror writers have become keen to reinvent the form, embracing its darker side; returning it to what they see as its roots. While the original stories were certainly darker than the saccharine versions dreamt up by writers convinced they were only fit to be read by children, who must be protected from the rigours of the outside, grown up, world I am unsure that modern authors can recreate the originals with any success. Our culture is inured to horror, to an extent, and we go further even than children baked into pies or girls devoured by wolves. You only have to look at Saw and other slasher films to see that.
But while there have been developments, there has also been a backlash, possibly an unconscious one. The fairy tale has become increasingly associated with one market: teenage girls. The Hollywood blockbuster machine has created and recreated Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Red Riding Hood so many times that it's almost hard to believe that other stories exist. They tread the familiar boards too, there's nary a hint of the idea that 'if there's a beast in man, there's a beast in woman too' that Carter espoused. No, woman has become again the holder of civilisation, the tamer of the savage beasts and men.I suspect that this is because Hollywood is incredibly conservative, relaunching franchises is safer than expanding their repertoire: everything boils down to money, Given how expensive films are to create, it's hardly a surprise. They make what sells and part of the rise of the fairy tale, in this form, is that it gets bums on seats. The core of the story, even sexed up for an all too knowing generation, remains the same.
What's interesting is how focused on girls and young women things have become. Nobody is suggesting making a film of The Boy who Learned to Shiver, or The Tinderbox; fairy tales are for girls. Marina Warner's Fairy Tale: A Short History, notes that in the last thirty years the form has become more and more focused on the female, to the extent nothing is aimed at boys at all. I admit this saddens me, I like Fairy Tales and think they're quite magical. One of my favourite poems is Neil Gaiman's Instructions; Company of Wolves gets a regular viewing at our house.
This begs the question, what do boys have now that fills this gap? I know there's a wide range of media that's targeted at young males, from Saturday morning cartoons to superhero films. I'm aware too, that girls and young women are more than happy to claim them for their own, and without the unfortunate overtones that have accompanied young men adopting My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I'm not going to judge either group; fair play to them if that's what gets them through the day. My concern though, is that the things that fairy tales teach are perhaps missing from boys' lives now. Does a superhero film fill the same space that the fairy tale does? It might teach about being resourceful, about standing up to bad things, even about realising when something is a monster that needs to be defeated; having seen Antman recently, I think those themes are present within that film, so are they simply repackaged for a world where boys largely view fantasy with suspicion?
What concerns me here, is that at the end of the day the solutions in superhero films boil down to violence, to hitting and punching until your problem is defeated. They are no more revolutionary than the fairy tale films. Both genres are serving to further the socialisation process begun by the Grimms. Add to that a culture that increasingly embraces toxic masculinity and femininity, whether that's pink everything or boys clothing that glamourises violence and war and it seems as if the split between the sexes is growing larger and more pronounced.

Why Did I Buy 2 pcs of Colossal Big Shot Mascara? 🤔
When it comes to mascaras I've always been using expensive ones, simply because I was never pleased with the results of those from the drugstore. The problem is that my eyelashes are quite long but they don't have absolutely no volume and I know from experience that unfortunately the affordable mascaras aren't great with volume.
However, as a beauty blogger and a makeup artist who is sick of spending too much on mascaras every month, I was determined to find great mascara on affordable price. I tried few others by Maybelline but when it comes to volume the Colossal Big Shot is hands down my favourite so far. That's the reason why I actually ran back to the store to bought another piece for my makeup kit. The brush is good size, not too big or too small, actually I don't mind small brushes, I just absolutely hate massive applicators. I mean how are you supposed to apply the product when the brush is bigger then your eye? 🤷🏻♀ But anyway, as I said I like the size of this one and I have no problem with the application. It also gives you volume straight away, so there's no need to apply hundreds of layers. The good thing about is that it dries quickly on the eyes and you can use lash curler after you've applied it.
P.S. Earlier this year I reviewed another mascara by Maybelline which is quite good too. Click on the picture to read the post if you want.
Since the end of January I've been using benzoyl peroxide to treat my acne and even though it helps a lot, it has some very annoying side effects like flakiness, dryness and redness.
You have no idea how many messages I receive regarding foundation for oily skin!!
If you follow me on Instagram, then you remember when I bought the Pure Clay Detox Mask few months ago and I tested it on my Instagram Stories.
Today I'm showing you 5 makeup brushes for beginners and their uses. Also while I talk about each brush separately I apply makeup using the same brushes.
This red lips makeup look was the most requested from my clients on the NYE, so I decided to film a makeup tutorial for it!
Yesterday I uploaded tutorial on YouTube on how to cover acne and acne scars (without your face looking cakey) with the help of colour correcting.
When it comes to mascaras I've always been using expensive ones, simply because I was never pleased with the results of those from the drugstore.
As I told you in my last post I received two complimentary boxes of full-size products by Max Factor from Insfluenster Middle East and I decided to review all of them on my page (yep, the ones that I don't like too).
The colour that I have is called Lavish Mauve, which for me is a lovely combination of dark rosy pink and purple.
Hello, beautiful ladies xx You will probably think that I am really dumb when you read the next sentences. 😀
There're so many affordable good lipsticks on the market and I am so excited to share with you few of my favourite.
If you live in Dubai then you've probably seen the lash brand Pinky Coat in the drugstores.
I can't remember how many years I've been using Kate Moss for Rimmel lipsticks, but it must be at least five years now.
I posted this picture on Instagram the other day and someone asked me what mascara I've used.
Yesterday I filmed a quick one minute tutorial on how I remove my makeup and what skincare products I use just before bed (the video is below the pics).
Do you have combination to oily or oily skin type? Do you know there're masks that help reduce the excess oil?
ince the beginning of this year I've been seeing this brand called The Ordinary literally everywhere and the reviews about some of their products were more than good.
If you have never heard of MUA, it's a very affordable drugstore brand, which has some good products. When I lived in London few years ago, my sister in law recommended me to try their lipsticks.
I didn't know what to expect from the Double Effect Eye Makeup Remover by NIVEA because I don't use any other product by the brand.
One of the biggest beauty mistakes that people make is not applying sunscreen daily.

Leaders Mayfield United took a big step towards winning the North Lancs Premier Division title on Saturday after beating Trimpell and Bare, taking them nine points clear.
With defences on top. it looked to be heading for a goalless draw until Jordan Theobald scored from a corner to earn Mayfield the three points.
Ingleton moved away from the danger zone with an emphatic win at next to bottom side Arnside.
Ingleton were in charge from start to finish, rattling in seven goals with just one conceded.
Leading the charge was the enigmatic Alex Hartley who scored four excellent goals, while Joel Law and Andrew Jackson (2) getting the others.
Adam Richardson scored an excellent consolation goal for Arnside.
Fourth placed Cartmel and District travelled to play fifth placed Carnforth Rangers with a much weakened side missing several first team players through illness and suspensions.
Cartmel took a deserved lead in the 38th minute when Ben Clarke went past three defenders and was brought down inside the area for a penalty.
Up stepped Carl Davidson – his spot kick was not the best but the keeper appeared to dive over the ball and it went into the net.
With a minute to go until half-time Cartmel were awarded a free kick just outside the penalty area, Carl Davidson's cross was swung over to the far post where the ball evaded all the Carnforth defenders, only for Carl Airey to nudge the ball into the net to make it 2-0 at half-time.
In the 62nd minute Airey received a pass from Felix Freudman and sent the ball to the right wing where the ball was crossed in first time over to the far post where Billy Garnett beat his marker to make it 3-0.
Carnforth pulled one back late on thanks to an Anthony Crabtree penalty but it was only a consolation.
Meanwhile, College AFC beat Morecambe Royals 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Gary Larne and Luke Fairclough.

The Details
Dr. Sherri is usually on the road or in patients homes so you will need to leave a message when you call and she will call you back as soon as she has a break in the day. Visiting the pets in their own home environment is much less stressful for the patient and makes veterinary visits much easier. Dr. Sherri has a very gentle approach and spends ample time getting to know the patient, and the owner! She answers all questions and since the visit takes place in the home the atmosphere is less rushed. She offers quality, full service veterinary care in a comfortable setting for the pet and the owner. She looks forward to meeting you so call for information or to schedule an appointment.

A lot of people stay really chaotic lives. Up early, obtain the youngsters completely ready for school, Make Breakfast and packed lunches, obvious up, sprint out to find the young children to high school, leave for get the job done, have got a whole day, get the job done late or courageous the rush hour (one of you has to have the kids from college, or be property in time for you to supervise their homework and see they don't trigger as well a great deal mayhem) professional handyman in singapore.
Home ultimately! Time for you to have a swift cup of tea ahead of giving the kids some consideration, feeding on supper, clearing up, placing them to mattress and, at last, an opportunity to sit back and chat towards your husband or wife, check out a tad of Television and kick back. The possibilities will you be fall asleep suitable there and also have to drag you as many as head over to bed.
And then the next working day it is the same. Appear Saturday as well as children have gotten some sports activities on, then 1 needs to do a weekly store and prior to you are aware of it Saturday is long gone and you rest as late when you can on Sunday since it could be the only working day (very well fifty percent every day) left for yourself.
In all of this fast paced daily life the last matter you've time or energy for is tackling the chores, nonetheless they have to get finished nevertheless. Apparel have to have washing, your house requirements a hoovering, youngsters things must be place away. When does one particular have time for oneself? There is not any time.
But along with all that most homes in London have been created ages back and were surely not developed maintenance absolutely free. A under no circumstances ending list of compact repair service positions begin mounting up. A tile has fallen off while in the rest room, the toilet cistern is often overflowing, there is certainly a curtain rail that is definitely unfastened, there is a wall needing painting, the drain is smelling and, and and….. Aaargh!!!!
The drain wants a plumber, the bathroom demands a tiler, your home wants a painter, there's perform for your electrician in addition to a builder. Have you ever at any time listened to the track;"The gasman cometh" If not search it up on YouTube. Monday the Gasman, Tuesday the carpenter, Wednesday the Glazier and so forth…. The merest imagined of calling out these numerous artisans with their simply call out fees and exorbitant rates is sufficient to place you out of business court docket.
The above predicament is even worse in the event you really are a Landlord that has numerous houses beneath tenancy agreements. Landlords are accountable with the upkeep in their home, so each time a wasp nest grows exterior a bedroom window, the landlord needs to offer with it, when there is certainly a dripping tap or even a damaged window pane it is around the landlord to receive it mended.
Properly loosen up! There is certainly a smart alternative in utilizing some multi-skilled handymen who include the many standard tiny family repairs at a sensible level and, furnished the decision out is made by appointment and is not urgent does not involve costly callout charges. Handyman solutions cover all components of London on motorbikes and so can perform a lot of the little jobs possibly individually or after you have 4 or five little things which want executing which with each other will warrant a repairman contacting.

This morning my wife and I woke up and got ready to run our first 10 mile race of the season, the Hot Dash, which is a re-branded race that Twin Cities In Motion does every March. The previous incarnation was a week or so later, and was yet-another-Irish-themed-race, so the change to something else is quite welcome.
From a weather perspective, we couldn't have asked for a better running day in March. The temp when we arrived on site was in the upper 30s, and the high today is in the 40s. I made the decision to go with shorts for my race attire, with a long sleeve top. I wore some outer clothing, which I ditched at the bag check before the race started, but I did keep my hat and gloves with me.
The race started and I went out faster than I knew I should have, so I tried to ease it up just a bit. I ended up falling into a really comfortable groove, and all of a sudden the miles just clicked on by. Every time I checked my pace I was sub-10 minute miles, which is something I haven't maintained for a long time. I worried that I might blow up mid-way, but to my astonishment I managed to finish the entire race with every mile sub-10 and feeling absolutely great. Well, all except for one particular mile. I decided to be a proper gentleman and not pee in the woods, and instead I waited for two and a half minutes for a portable toilet. According to Strava, there is a 2.5 minute discrepancy between my overall time, and my moving time, which accounts for my bathroom break.
If you discount my bathroom break, my entire run was around a 9:30 average pace which blew me away. The only thing I can attribute it to was all of the trail running that I've been doing lately. Running on the road seemed quite effortless, and the few hills on the course were nothing to me as I cruised over them without dropping pace. Despite my struggles to enjoy some of my long runs lately, I know that the work that I'm doing is helping. Today's race is proof that I still can come close to what I used to be able to do.
So back into training next week as I get ready for my first big trail race in April, Zumbro 17.

Hello there. It's already June! That means that summer is upon us. And with that, comes triple-digit weather. Let's heed the warnings from our Firefighters. We are not messing around this fire season. We gotta cut the power in the region they deem necessary. Nobody wants another repeat of previous fire seasons. Let us learn from those mistakes. Let's hope our governor Gavin Newsom show his might, as he goes toe-to-toe with PG&E, and stress the problem at hand. Yes there will be some fires, but we don't want it to escalate out of proportion, and see those insane photos from the past 2 years in the New York Times or the Washington Post. I'd like to take this time to please ask you, whether you are religious or not, to take a moment to please have them in your thoughts, whether you believe in the power of prayer, or meditation, or knock on wood, or cross your fingers, or whatever little routine you have, because remember, while we go to our jobs, those men and women will be wearing heavy gear, fighting fire in crazy heat. I hope they have every tool at their disposals. If not, let's make sure Congress and the Administration gives our California firefighters everything that they need.
Very excited for some summer movies, including the upcoming Fast & Furious. There's the new Spider-Man, but before that, there's a new X-Men movie.
It's E3 2019! There will be plenty of announcements…I really hope we don't have to wait another decade to politely ask for Half Life 3 (evidently it doesn't make a ton of money like other Steam microtransactions games so that's why Gabe isn't doing it, what a shame). Unreal Tournament is still in Alpha mode…(evidently they rather focus on Fort Nite).
I'm playing Resident Evil 2 remake. Play this, and you will reminisce the first time you've heard of the evil Umbrella Corporation. Can't wait to see Leon & Claire fight their way through this!
NBA Finals on TV. Let's root for the underdog! Go Raptors!!!
Remember to stay hydrated this summer, it will be very hot, and don't let those little ones nor pets in the car while you stop to do errands. Just don't do it. It's too damn hot!
If you're out of the school for the summer, congrats! Enjoy! But remember, parents and teachers expect you back in the fall in one piece, so please, when driving, have a DD, take an Uber/Lyft/Cab/Train/Bus, etc. They've recently invented an ingenious beer from a few labels It's called 0.0. It has the same taste of beer, but with 0% alcohol! So if there's a night you're the DD, drink a 0.0 beer, for your safety, and those around you. Don't underestimate how important this is! While I'm at it, please remember to always wear that seatbelt. You saw the statistics during MDW2019. It's crucial to always wear a seatbelt.
Le Mans 24hrs race is this month! can't wait!
Until Next Time!

This topic comes up often. At least in my mind, in my spirit.
Mostly because I feel like the home I once had doesn't exist anymore. It's in my memory bank and I recall those moments of when I spent time there. I've since constructed a new one. One I love, one that makes me feel comfortable and warm and welcome.
And then the idea of creating home comes up. That it's not something that's instant - it's something you create and build over the years. You search, you collect, you join and de-clutter and add-on and partner and it becomes home.
Maybe, I realized, it's not about the building. Maybe it's about where your heart wants to be, where and to whom it sends you traveling towards.
I had that moment a few weeks ago and wondered if I would ever find that place I again. Truth be told, I have. But it wasn't where I expected. It's in this little apartment in an area that is becoming newly interesting amongst the gentrifiers in the city. The building is worn. I even saw a mouse when I moved in (he's since vacated unwillingly). But the truth of the matter is, I had to create that little piece of peace.
I've learned along the way, it wasn't about where you are, but who you're with.....and sometimes, who you're with might only be yourself.
Yup - it wasn't about the building or the city or any of that - it was about the person or the persons surrounding you. Those who you count on. Maybe it's just one person. It's the person you call when you're in trouble, or in need. Or if you can't call them, it's the person you wish for. If you've lost that person, others will be sent. It took me decades to meet mine. But each and every one of us needs a person who will hold our hand during the times things are rough. Someone who can tell us who we are when we lose our way and check us and tell us when we're bullshitting.
No bullshit.
They aren't always who you think they're supposed to be. It could be someone you meet through friends, it could be someone you've known for years, it could be the person you married. In fact, personally, while the person may not be your soul mate (do those exist?), I do hope you find home with the person you marry and are committed.
I'm being pre-emptive here because so many of us (including me) don't have spouses, but there's still a yearning to have a home and a community.
So what happens when you find a home and for any multitude of reasons you can't dwell there? I am making peace with what happens if I can't get there, if the place I've longed for isn't in the cards. In the meantime, I've made a fine little space for myself. A space I love to hide in... and I've learned others love to hide in - that's the making of a home.
A place where you can retreat and renew. A place where you get a chance to create and figure your life out. Somewhere peaceful and full of love and the things that make you happy. We all have to have a personal beacon of sorts. Sometimes the beacon is a person (it is for me) and other times, it's a space (that too). Sometimes it's both.
I rather find the making of a home to be a sacred thing. No two will be the same. Nor should they. I just know I know of two places in the world where I'm safe and I can rest easy - even if it's only for a short while.
What makes something feel like home to you?
For me, it's the way it smells, the way it looks and how I'm able to live in it. It's the availability to things I love, when I can cook. It's a place that inspires me to do great things and relax. Where I can let my guard down. It also happens to have incense, candles, wine... and lots of tasty food with great sheets and good water pressure... but you know - creature comforts :)

"This Friday afternoon", says the disappointed-sounding CSR.
"WHAT!? Are you folks aware that there are actual alternatives to Time Warner?"
"Oh yes sir. I'm really sorry you've had this problem." Etc. Etc.
Eight hours of waiting for nothing. I'm not even sure I can make myself available for the new appointment.
Anyhoo, tomorrow is the first day of a three-day student orientation. More will be reported our new incoming class becomes more familiar with the campus, curriculum, UT, etc. I've already purchased my first official round of textbooks, so things are getting pretty exciting!

Kapeka is the shape of interconnected growth & regrowth. It is the Maori word describing the branching shape of rivers and trees. Each a flowing curve evolved when nature is free to find its own form.
Organic forms result when design is trusted to nature. The tree and the river are part of a constant interconnected cycle that draws together the surrounding Land and People. The branches of Kapeka are a symbol of these connections.
New Zealand is a young country, both geologically and historically. It is a place where the actions of nature are often closer and more apparent. Fashioned by Nature is the story of the New Zealand landscape and its people. The shapes of Kapeka can be seen everywhere in the land. It is part of every story and landscape in New Zealand.
Kapeka draws on the fibres of Nature. The branching and braiding of each unique fibre reflect the interconnected organic patterns of New Zealand's Rivers, Trees and Beaches. Since the beginning of time, these cycles of nature have seen growth and regrowth, each time creating the shape & symbol of its own design.

One of the biggest problems I used to suffer from was trust. I've been gaining greater and deeper insight into this in the last few months especially. I am currently going through a situation which, to be honest, really requires me to trust in Gods ultimate deliverance. 100% trust in it.
However, all around me – for one reason or another, others are falling by the wayside. My faith, so fragile three years ago has become stronger and harder.
I've been pleasantly surprised that my past weakness has grown into future strength. I've been through some decidedly unpleasant experiences on the way.
I've been singled out and attacked physically, emotionally and spiritually.
I've crumbled painfully under these attacks but I've not fallen.
Because in falling your foundation of trust in God is shown to be rotten and weak.

Topics: News, Canadian Charity Law, New corporate non-profit acts
As many know the Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act (ONCA) was passed in 2010 and was supposed to be brought in by January 2013. There are ostensibly 59,000 Ontario non-profits, although many may be dormant. The Ontario government announced today "The government is fully committed to bringing ONCA into force at the earliest opportunity and will provide the sector with at least 24 months' notice before proclamation". This probably means that ONCA will not come into force until probably 2018 or later. This will be very disappointing for non-profits under the Ontario Corporations Act who will have waited over 8 years for the change.
Additionally, the transparency promised in terms of a free and publicly accessible database is now also delayed by years.
We have been assisting Ontario non-profits and charities move to the new CNCA at the Federal level.

You can read more about ONCA in our ONCA Directory at http://www.canadiancharitylaw.ca/blog/category/onca
Here is further information from the Ontario government:
1. When will ONCA take effect?
ONCA cannot come into force until:
- the Legislative Assembly passes a number of technical amendments to the legislation and related acts
- technology is upgraded to support these changes and improve service delivery
A bill containing these amendments, formerly known as Bill 85, was introduced in 2013 but died when the 2014 provincial election was called.
The government is fully committed to bringing ONCA into force at the earliest opportunity and will provide the sector with at least 24 months' notice before proclamation. Existing corporations will have a three-year transition period once ONCA is in force and assistance will be available to ensure a smooth transition to implementation.

One thing nearly all pilots struggle with or have struggled with is radio communication with ATC. It is surprisingly easy to get tripped up, go blank, or plain not know what to say. Here are a few tips that can help you improve in the comms department.
1. Know what your plan is, but anticipate alternates.
For students and new pilots, it can be easy to get caught up thinking ATC is the final authority and that you must do everything they tell you without question. While it is true that you should follow their instruction when safe, you should always have the mindset of a pilot who knows what they want and is simply requesting permission to execute it. You should also anticipate the most likely alternatives and plan accordingly, which will make it easier if your original request cannot be accommodated. Remember that ATC is there to help you accomplish your plan, not to tell you what your plan should be.
2. Practice dissecting other pilots' radio communications.
Listening to LiveATC while going about daily tasks is a great way to train your ear and develop your multitasking abilities. Try this exercise: When a pilot makes a call, pick out the main components such as tail number, position, and what the pilot is requesting (which generally follows the "who, where, and what" format). Guess what ATC will respond with, then when ATC takes the mic, listen for the important instructions and guess the response the pilot should make. See how your response varies from theirs. There are no exact right or wrong answers, as each pilot has a different communication style. Practicing this for just 20 minutes a day will greatly improve your communications.
3. Get comfortable asking for clarification.
There is probably not a pilot in history who hasn't been confused by an ATC instruction, or forgotten a squawk code after a deluge of other information has been given. As pilot-in-command, it is your responsibility to understand what you are supposed to be doing (especially if you've told them you will comply!) so never be afraid or embarrassed to tell them to "say again," "please repeat the squawk code/altitude restriction/heading", or "I am unfamiliar with […]", etc. It's part of being a professional!
4. Condense your statements.
One of the biggest things you can do to make life easier for yourself and everyone else on frequency is to condense your statements to contain only the vital amount of information. Even cutting out extra conversational phrases such as "We are here at…" or "I would like to request a …" will save time and sound more professional. It will also, believe it or not, help you trip up less!
5. Don't try to memorize everything.
If you have trouble with even the shortest clearances, write them down! I personally like to copy down any taxi instructions in excess of two taxiways at unfamiliar airports, both so that my readback is correct and so that I can double-check my route on the way.

Once the main road from Chicago to Los Angeles, Route 66 is now the home of dilapidated gas stations, crumbling motels, and battered signs, along with souvenir shops, restored gas stations, museums and cafes selling nostalgia.
This new book, with wonderful photographs by Kerrick James, covers the whole route from Illinois to California, with special attention to 25 communities that have faded from their lively existence in Route 66's heyday. Some were old mining towns, others were farming villages, but all shared in a brief burst of prosperity before the interstate highway system bypassed Route 66.
Author Jim Hinckley, who partnered with James on three other books, Ghost Towns of the Southwest, Route 66 Backroads and Backroads of Arizona, describes what tourists can see today as they travel the old road and what used to be there. Hinckley is well versed in Route 66 lore and maintains a blog called Route 66 Chronicles at route66chronicles.blogspot.com.
This 160-page large-format book includes a map and travel tips, and points out places that tourists should not miss.
Ghost Towns of Route 66 is published by Voyageur Press and carries a cover price of $25.

- Genre
- Action
- Rating
- Rated "K-A" for Blood, Animated Violence
- Summary
- MEGA MAN X4 marks a return to action for this popular franchise. The gameplay, as in all previous MEGA MAN titles, is challenging. Each level includes little secrets and unique terrain, and each new weapon or fighting move you learn will take practice before you can utilize them. The various enemies are sneaky and will put up quite a fight, although the real challenge comes at the end of each level with the huge bosses. The game allows you to play as two different characters, each with different sidekicks and weapons. The game plays differently for each character, almost giving you a two-for-one feeling. If you play as X, your experience will be very similar to the other MEGA MAN X games, while if you choose Zero, the story is pretty much the same, but you have to change your approach in battles and traversing the terrain.

Playlist for Life
One day I was looking at You Tube and I came across a video for a small charity in Scotland called Playlist for Life. I was absolutely blown away by the videos I saw and the impact it had on the lives of people with a dementia who were involved. Playlist for Life taps into meaningful music that has the ability to improve life for people with dementia, their family and their carers. We have probably all experienced music which gives us 'that flashback feeling'; when a certain song takes us back to a person, place or time whenever we hear it. That feeling is a sign that the music we are listening to is deeply connected to our memories and emotions. For people with dementia it can be a lifeline.
A personal playlist can help to enhance memories and abilities, strengthen relationships and restore a sense of self in a world that can be increasingly alien.
Because of this we knew that we needed to introduce Playlist for Life in our services and we decided to opt for accredited status, which is only awarded when practitioners can demonstrate implementation of the incentive and not just that they have attended a training event. And our feedback is proving that our investment is paying off. I am delighted to be receiving some very positive feedback about how well Playlist for Life is working in the homes. Already we are seeing improved engagement and carer–resident relationships. This will continue as we are working towards every resident having their own 'Playlist for Life'.
Why not have a look at Playlist for Life in action can be seen on this Youtube video, Henry's Story: https://youtu.be/5FWn4JB2YLU
This initiative also got me thinking, what is my Playlist for Life? After some thought I came up with my top 5 track list.
1. My brother Jake - Free
I was fifteen when this was released and hearing this takes me right back to the summer of 71 when my best friend and I were growing up, living life and having the best times.
2. You belong to me – Patsy Cline
Mum and Dad in the kitchen singing to each other – priceless.
3. Diamonds on the soles of her shoes – Paul Simon
The year I moved in with my husband, we had no money and stayed in a lot – this was our favourite album and my favourite track.
4. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Took my breath away the first time I heard this – the orchestral arrangement, the lyrics and that crescendo - Wow
5. Blue moon – Dean Martin
My dad's party piece – lovely memories

Book Review: Gifted by J.A. George
ashley | With a title like Gifted, it's easy to make a lot of assumptions about the premise of the book and tap into everything I've read about people with gifts or special powers. But the synopsis here made it sound like this would be a unique and imaginative story and I was really intrigued when J.A. George offered me a copy of her book for review. I love it when books don't disappoint. Nothing about this was misleading, if anything, the synopsis doesn't give the book justice! I really loved the characters, the story, the way it all came together. This was an enjoyable and quick-paced read that ended far too soon.
Ava is a great character. She is easy to relate to, she isn't too far on either side of the spectrum and she seems like your typical young girl wanting to lead a typical young life. She has image and self-esteem problems, she has a good core group of friends, she, like everyone else, is just trying to find her way in life. Until she stumbles upon a terrible scene and her life is changed forever.
But it wasn't just Ava who kept me interested, there was a large group of characters who were all equally interesting for many different reasons. There wasn't a single character who annoyed me, there wasn't a single character who I didn't wish was my friend. They were all individually crafted but as a group, they all came together so well. Of course I especially liked Baleigh though, her kick ass smart ass attitude is one to admire.
This book was very balanced as a whole. As soon as Ava was opened up to this whole other incredible world, the book didn't just drop the old one. Sure, Ava's interests in the old one kind of started to fade away, but the characters we met initially didn't just suddenly disappear and the new characters we met weren't completely overshadowing. I liked how well each side of things fit together; even though it left Ava pretty much right in the middle and not sure what to do about that.
I also enjoyed that the romantic aspect wasn't super easy to come by. The attraction was pretty immediate but it's not like other stories where it automatically trumps anything else and they are unnaturally fused from that moment on. In fact, there really isn't that much of a romantic element other than the initial blossoming and I thought this was handled really well. It drew me in, didn't just throw it at me to accept.
Of course the magic of Hayven and the gifts that the title alludes to are the best parts to focus on. George isn't necessarily coming up with brand new ideas, but she's certainly presenting them in newly creative ways and weaving together different elements to create the overall picture. A picture which I really enjoyed seeing form. I liked exploring this new world with Ava, but I also really enjoyed trying to unravel the darkness that was brewing behind it all and figure out what it was Ava was supposed to do with some of her new found knowledge and gifts.
I can't say enough about how much I loved this book. Seriously, everything I love about books was included here. In fact, it actually defies a lot of clichés that totally drive me crazy; there is no "chosen one", the love interest doesn't leave his relationship for the new girl, the girl doesn't ditch all her old friends when she finds this new exciting world (even though they do kind of drift). I really liked how George avoided falling into some of these traps that a lot of books fall into. To me, that makes this stand out among everything else.
Like I said, I can't say enough about my love for this and I actually felt my heart plummet when I turned that last page and realized I was left standing on that dreaded cliff with no more of the story to read. This is a series I will definitely be continuing as soon as possible and this is a book that I have to recommend to anyone who is into this genre. It doesn't recreate the genre, but it is certainly fresh enough to reignite the excitement and adventure that books like these are supposed to cause. I haven't been this excited about a series in a really long time.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Origin Lyra Orphée, though a Silver Saint, was said to have power rivaling that of a Gold Saint. He was famous throughout Sanctuary for his skill with the lyre. The story of Lyra Orphée is nearly identical to that of the mythological Orpheus. Orphée's lover, Eurydice, was bitten by a venomous snake and died. Orphée ventured into the Underworld to ask Hades to revive her. He played his lyre for Hades, who was so touched by the beauty and sadness of the music that he agreed to grant Eurydice new life. However, he warned Orphée not to look back until they were both safely out of the Underworld. Pandora was worried that this might set a dangerous precedent, and ordered Sphinx Pharaoh to see to it that Orphée did not make it out of the Underworld. Pharaoh tricked Orphée into thinking that he had seen the entrance to the world of the living, so he looked back at Eurydice, only to see that her body had been turned to stone. Unable to part with his beloved, Orphée decided to stay in the Underworld with her. Major Story Arcs Hades Chapter When Sphinx Pharaoh was about to kill Pegasus Seiya and Andromeda Shun, Orphée interfered. He used "Stringer Nocturne" and made it appear as though he had finished them off, but had actually spared their lives. Sphinx merely believed that Orphée had been trying to steal the credit for defeating the Bronze Saints. Seiya and Shun come across Orphée's garden, where they find Eurydice, who tells them her story and begs them to save Orphée. The Lyra Saint arrives, and orders the Bronzes to leave. There is a flash of light, much like the one that deceived Orphée when he was leaving the Underworld. It was Sphinx, and Orphée realizes that he had been tricked, and Sphinx was responsible for his misfortune. Orphée challenged Sphinx, pitting his lyre against Pharaoh's death harp. Pharaoh severed the "G" string of Orphée's lyre, believing he had rendered the Silver Saint incapable of using offensive moves. But Orphée held the string between his teeth and killed Sphinx Pharoah with "Stringer Finé." He then realized that all living things must eventually die, and that he did no one any good by continuing to mourn his beloved. Eurydice was truly happy that Orphée had returned to the honorable Saint she fell in love with. Having regained his pride as a Saint, Orphée made a plan with Seiya and Shun to attack Hades--they would have a perfect chance, since it was the day that he was scheduled to play for the Lord of the Underworld. He arrived at Hades' chamber with a large case. Pandora, immediately suspicious, opened it, only to find that it was full of flowers, which Orphée claimed he had brought for Hades. Pandora stabbed her spear into the flowers, but found nothing. Orphée grew worried when he saw that the Three Judges of Hell had also arrived to hear him play. He used "Death Trip Serenade" to lure the three of them, along with Pandora, into a deep sleep. He lunged at Hades, but the figure he saw turned out to only be an illusion. A beam of energy suddenly ripped through his chest, and he saw Wyvern Rhadamanthys standing before him, unaffected by the music. Seiya and Shun leaped out from the case to aid Orphée. Knowing that his wound was fatal, Orphée held on to Rhadamanthys to give Seiya a clear shot. Seiya reluctantly used his Ryu Sei Ken on the Specter and the Saint. Wyvern would survive, but the Lyra Saint would not. As his life left him, he entrusted the protection of Athena to the Bronze Saints and whispered Eurydice's name, happy that he could now truly join her. Powers and Abilities Like all of the Saints of Athena, Orphée possesses superhuman strength, speed, and agility, in addition to the incredible defense granted to him by his Cloth. All of his attacks are produced by playing a specific melody on his lyre. His primary technique is "Stringer Nocturne"--the strings of Orphée's lyre entangle his opponent and electrocute them. "Stringer Finé" involves the strings of the lyre brutally cutting his enemy. "Death Trip Serenade" lures his enemies to sleep; it's duration, anywhere from a few days to an entire eternity, is determined by Orphée.

Three teams are still unbeaten at the 16th FINA Men's World Cup in Berlin. Host Germany, Olympic champion Serbia, and World champion Croatia have 4 points each after today's 2nd round of the Group Stage.
Group A
After a surprising win in the match against Hungary on Day 1, Germany defeated Japan today, but the hosts had some difficulties. Japan led 5:3 early in the second quarter. Germany turned a deficit into a minimal advantage by the end of the quarter. It led 6:5 at halftime. The teams scored three goals both in the third quarter, while the Germans broke the Asians soon after the last break. The home side netted four straight goals in a span of 2:51 minutes to go 13:8 up, with 04:22 remaining on the clock. There was no way back for Japan. Germany celebrated a 14:9 victory. Top scorer was Denis Eidner with four goals.
The second day of the competition was opened by a very exciting encounter between Hungary and Australia. The Hungarians, runners-up in the 2014 World Cup, recovered from the shocking defeat in yesterday's match with Germany. They led most of the time, but Australia didn't let them celebrate too early. It was a close battle until the end despite Hungary was 6:3 up in the middle of the third quarter and it had 9:6 lead before the last period. Krisztian Peter Manhercz, the MVP at the 2017 World Junior Championship, did a crucial job by scoring three of four Hungary's goals in the 3rd quarter. In the finish of the game, the "Aussies" netted two goals in two consecutive attacks for 8:9. They had a nice chance to earn a point, but Edwards's shot in a man-up attack was blocked just 5 seconds before the end. After that, the Hungarians kept the ball and the victory.
Group B
Serbia recorded a convincing win over the USA. The Americans, who are coached by former Serbia head coach Dejan Udovicic, scored a goal from their first attack, but the Serbs replied with a 5:0 rush to jump to a 5:1 lead. They were 6:3 up after the first quarter. The Olympic champions dominated the 2nd and the 3rd period. By the end of the 3rd quarter, they built an 8-goal lead (12:4). The last quarter belonged to the USA and Serbia won 14:8. Dusan Mandic, a captain of the Serbian team, was outstanding today. He scored five goals.
World champion Croatia blew away South Africa – 25:2. Each of nine Croatia's field players found the net this evening, but Andrija Basic caused big headaches for the Africans. He netted 9 goals with almost perfect shot percentage (9 goals/10 shots). Tomorrow, the Croats will face Serbia in the water polo classic which is decisive in the battle for the 1st place in the group.
