Coffee Grinders that are Low on Price but Big on Practicality
What makes coffee so amazing is there are so many chains in the preparation process that have to be done right in order to land the perfect brew in that small coffee mug.
The roasting of the coffee beans itself is very important as it is the first stage in the entire preparation chain that will either make or break the quality of your beans. Since roasting requires complex set-up and expensive equipments, this is a task that is best left to the professionals.
Every coffee purist knows very well the importance of proper bean grinding. If you are serious about the brew quality of your coffee, getting ready-grounded beans at your local supermarket shelves is not an option for you. You will only get whole beans and do the grinding just prior to the brewing process.
To be upfront, the best coffee grinder does not come cheap. My pick for the best burr grinder comes with a price tag of between $300-$500. If that does not scare you, go ahead and find out what makes it a champion.
Best Coffee Grinder for the Average Joe
If you have a budget of less than $100, you may not get the best quality grinder but it doesn't mean that there is no decent options for you.
I've done some homework for you and I've come up with few options for those who are looking for the best cheap coffee grinders.
The Winner: Krups Electric Grinder
If you are looking for a grinder that is huge in terms of satisfying most customers' needs and small in terms of price, the Krups electric grinder is hard to beat.
Given the low price point, I'm sure you know how to set your expectation bar right. This best-selling grinder is really a no-frill grinder.
Do not expect it to have the intelligence to control the coarseness of your grounded beans. You've got to control the coarseness by stopping it at the appropriate time. It's that simple!
It might take a few practice sessions to get your timing right. But once that is over, this is one grinder that you can rely for many years to come.
Do take note that this budget-friendly grinder uses blade to do the grinding. The thing with blade or chopping method is it can give you inconsistent level of coarseness if your timing is not perfect.
It is also good to note that this way of grinding takes longer time and incurs more heat during the process. Expect certain degree of deterioration to the quality of your beans.
One thing that makes this low-cost grinder so great is its ease of use. There is no button or switches. What you need to do is simply press down the top and it will trigger the spin. It's dead simple!
The Runner-Up: Hamilton Beach 80365
Hamilton Beach is no stranger to most American households. It is known as one of the more affordable brands when it comes to kitchen and household appliances.
The runner-up for our low-cost coffee grinder winner is the Hamilton Beach 80365.
But unlike the reigning champion (Krups electric grinder), the Hamilton Beach hands-free grinder is packed with more features.
First, there is a knob that lets you control the level of coarseness of your ground coffee. Then there is the switch that lets you set the amount of beans that you want to grind. And then there is the on/off button that lets you do a start/stop.
All in all, it is up to you to decide if you will love these features. For me, given its super low price, I would rather not have such options as it means more mechanical parts and more complex designs involved. I'm not convinced that these can be done well given its price point.
2nd Runner-Up: Proctor Silex E160BY
The last budget-friendly coffee grinder that makes it to my list is the Proctor Silex E160BY.
Take a look at the picture and you will marvel at its beauty. But I agree that this is not for everyone. But if you love white appliances for your kitchen, this would be the best (and cheapest) alternative.
In terms of features, it is very much similar to the Krups. No fancy coarseness control. No amount control. No gimmick.
Your Decision
I've given you some ideas on what good options are available if you are looking for a coffee grinder and you are severely tight on budget.
If you believe in my argument and believe that the cheapest should be a totally no-frill model, you are left with the Krups and the Proctor Silex. But if you believe otherwise (or simply want to give it a try), you can do your homework and go through the different coffee grinder reviews. I bet there are other models that come close to the Hamilton Beach.

"BIG" Decisions to Make
Today I got the late decision from UC Irvine that they have accepted to me into there school under a Studio Art major. Now of course this is not the major I want to go into, but the opportunity is a huge deal. I can't help but try to be fair about this decision knowing that Jenn will be going to UCR for at least the next two quarters. I have to make the decision within the next few days and until then I will let everyone know when I have made a final decision.

Yes, Our Green Bay Real Estate Services are FREE* to Buyers!
We all know that if something sounds too good to be true, you should think twice about it. However, at RLT Real Estate LLC, when it comes to Green Bay real estate buyers, our services are provided at no cost to you "the buyer".
Q. How is it possible that you can offer free real estate service to buyers?
A. It's simple. The seller pays our commission, not you.
Q. What if I'm buying a Green Bay preconstruction or new builder home, is your service still free?
A. Yes. The builder pays our commission, not you.
Q. Does this mean you're acting as a 'Buyer's Agent'?
A. Yes, when a Buyer's Agency agreement is signed. A Buyer's Agent is a real estate professional who represents the buyer in a real estate transaction. The Buyer's Agent as well as the seller's agent are each paid a commission by the seller. The amount of the commission is a pre-determined percentage of the selling price.
Q. Will I be limited in the types of services I can get from you?
A. Absolutely not! When we work with you to buy Green Bay real estate, we offer a complete range of home buying services, from house-hunting all the way through closing:
Q. Is this service available for buyers of any type of Green Bay real estate?
A. Yes! Whether you're a first-time home buyer, or looking to buy a second home, vacation home, retirement home, relocations or land, our commision-based services are free to buyers.
Q. What if I wish to purchase a Green Bay area commercial property, condos, investment real estate or foreclosures — is your service free for those types of real estate purchases?
A. Yes. You don't pay any buyer's commission out of your own pocket for virtually any kind of real estate purchase. Not sure if the property you're interested in qualifies? Please ask us.
Q. Is there a limit to the number of times I can use RLT Real Estate for these FREE* home buying services?
A. No, not at all. Feel free to use us for any and all of your Green Bay real estate purchases as often as needed. We can also extend this free service to your family, friends and neighbors, too, who are looking to buy real estate.
Q. Why do I even need a real estate agent to help me purchase real estate in the Green Bay area?
A. Because the price you'll pay will most likely be the same, with or without using a Realtor. Buying real estate will be one of the largest purchases and financial investments you'll ever make, so it's important that you have the right resources working on your behalf. The seller will most likely have a real estate agent working for them, which could put you at a disadvantage at the negotiating table if you don't have a Buyer's Agent. So why not take advantage of a real estate professional as your advocate throughout the home search and buying process, all at no charge to you?
Q. What should I do if I want to take advantage of your FREE* service?
A. Just call us at 920-544-4580 or email to discuss your real estate needs. The phone call and discussion are free, too!
* We provide FREE service to buyers for all properties listed in the MLS.

"Learning to Date, No is a complete sentence! "
by Toby Rice Drews
by Toby Rice Drews
If you are dating again.......
a.) and if your history has been akin to volunteering to give up your seat on the lifeboat, on the Titanic------- and give it up to a charming, abusive Titanic worker ------ a suggestion might be to---
Start A Kennel.
Rescue animals.
Put your 'taking care of them energy' there, instead.
(Sometimes, when we have a lifelong pattern of excessive caretaking ------- it's easier to just move our caretaking energies -- than to lessen them. Moving that energy to those who won't spit in our faces after we've cared for them, is a big positive step in family recovery.)
b.) When you come across another charming cad-------- don't listen to what he says----listen to what he does.
c.) And you don't have to 'explain' if you want to end the dating.
"No" is a complete sentence.
(HOW many times have we 'explained' and 'explained' and 'explained' when we want to say 'no'?! So often, we 'explain and explain'-----for the real purpose of hoping we get permission from that person to agree with our choice for us.)
c.) People are always asking me, "how do I let him know I don't want to hear from him?"
If you have to ask that--------you probably do not want to stop hearing from him. When we REALLY are ready to stop hearing from them---- we know what to do. We then do what all people do who don't want to hear from them. We change our phone numbers to unlisted ones, etc. We do not respond at all, to phone calls, emails, etc. (Responding just gets across the message that you do, indeed, want to engage with that person.) When we divorce, we let lawyers talk to lawyers. Getting involved verbally, once again, with them, usually leads only to promises, threats, etc.
d.) NONE of this is easy to do. All of it is very very difficult. There's a sentence in the A.A. Big Book that says something like, 'changing xxxx is like bending forged steel'.
Changing family-of-alcoholic behavior IS like bending forged steel. It usually takes months of family recovery to begin to see substantial results........ and it's not a 'straight line' process. It's, as they say, 4 steps forward... 2 steps back...7 steps forward...5 steps back....etc.
When stockbrokers watch a progress chart of a particular stock, and see that it is a good stock------- basically gaining in value------ they do not "chastise" the stock's progress when they see "blips" on the chart that indicate it "went backwards" at times.
They EXPECT "blips".
"Blips" are part and parcel of progress forward......... Without 'blips', there is no progress forward. ........ love to all in recovery, Toby

text: The idea of sitting at a table on an upholstered bench has a long-standing tradition. A bench gives the person sitting on it the feeling that they have ample space to spread out, and is also the perfect solution for larger groups around a table: it is always possibly to move closer to one another in comfort on a bench. The Odeon dining sofa takes its cue from all the fantastic properties exhibited by the Odeon sofa: outstanding comfort, the striking lines which add stability to the upholstery, independence that permits it to shine when positioned as a stand-alone piece. A more upright backrest and higher seating position makes it the perfect bench which will add new ergonomic quality to long hours spent around the table. A bench could not be more like a sofa than this.

Notion's lightweight onboarding
An all-in-one workspace, Notion lets users write, plan, collaborate, and organize all their tasks and notes in one space. Notion's main selling point is an uncluttered design and lightweight editor that lets users focus on getting work done without interruptions.
Although Notion's minimalist design is certainly a main attraction, providing new users with a whole lot of white space they have no idea how to use and organize can also be dangerous and even off-putting. To combat this issue, Notion guides users through a personalized onboarding process that sets them up with what they most need from the app right away. This onboarding process not only ensures that users will use the tool right away, it also increases the chances of them returning to complete more tasks, thus building a habit that will turn them into long-term users.
Why this is really good UX:
- Throughout the setup and onboarding process, Notion maintains a clean, minimalist design. This reinforces the app's main promise to potential users: an uncluttered writing and organization space that won't distract you with unnecessary bells and whistles.
- The setup flow accomplishes two goals: it allows users to personalize the workspace to their specific needs (depending on the function they'll use it for and whether they'll use individually or on a team) while also introducing them to the product's full spectrum of use cases, so they understand its overall capabilities.
- Once inside the app, users find an interactive list of tasks in their main window that they can begin checking off. These tasks introduce users to Notion's main features and ensure they take their first action in the product.
- The pre-selected templates available in the left-hand panel reflect each user's setup preferences and showcase the product's more advanced uses. Users can use these to dive into more complex projects right away or as a way to explore the full range of possibilities offered by the visually lightweight but functionally robust product.

CD Review: MARK LAVENGOOD - We've Come Along
We've Come Along
We've Come Along - Ol' Slew Foot - Interlude for L.A. - Three Day Blow - Mule Kick - Vulpes Vulbes Intro - Vulpes Vulpes - Hungry Heart - Bound To Ride - Interlude for L.A. (reprise)- America
Just when I think the 'normal' progression' of a musical genre has completely disappeared in America, I find someone whose heart 'knows' what progression should be. It's simply 'keeping' the basis for the music as it was established, the originality, the creativity, the normalcy, the beauty. What happens in the artistic world of music today, nearly any genre, is to not 'progress' it, but to 'change' it. That isn't, or at least in the past, wasn't the 'norm.' Country music is a good example of how the 'story telling' reason for its existence turned into how much money can we make. That's not really a reason for artistic expression. It's happening in bluegrass music today. Bill Monroe's most stern retort to those who asked why he even created bluegrass music, was always 'I want to save the ancient tones.' That led to a form of acoustic music that stayed in step with Monroe. For the longest time we heard bluegrass music in its many different individual styles, always keeping with the Monroe 'doctrine.' Today however, there are many groups that have led the 'genre' into a kind of 'jazz like' sound that does not reflect the original purpose of the music at all. Actually it abandons the premise that was laid down by the original creator. This is true in just about everything 'American' today, the 'purpose' has been eliminated for one reason, and one reason only, make money or quit. That isn't the means or the demeanor of any creative artist. And just as I bewail the loss of the creative force inside a genre of music like bluegrass, along comes a guy like Mark Lavengood who is not only creative, he maintains and holds the standard bearer high, high enough for Bill Monroe to approve the effort. "Ol Slew Foot" is a good example of maintaining the prestige and 'style' of the genre. It couldn't be better, it's full of energy and astonishing picking. Mark Lavengood plays the Dobro, an interesting musical instrument in itself, perhaps best known as the forerunner of the steel guitar which became a 'standard' in early classic country music. Lavengood uses the instrument to 'express' as well as 'describe' the music he is playing. I not only love the 'traditional' sound he creates, but his 'originals' are very expressive. Like all 'new' works, one has to sit down and 'listen' if they want to understand. This is a large band, Kyle Rhodes on vocals, guitar & mandolin; Jason Dennie on vocals mandolin & guitar; Spencer Cain on upright acoustic bass; and Keith Billik on banjo. This interesting and entertaining CD was recorded in Michigan of all places, somewhat removed from the early Kentucky 'source' of the music, but close enough to catch the attention of any traditional bluegrass music lover. Mark's original lyric words are truly original, "Time's fleeting now what else shall we do but find the source that fuels our soul, learn to live anew." Pretty neat huh? Some of us have read the Book, and we know how it ends. I believe Mark has done that, and he has a lot to share from that experience. "Lets let love guide us let it be as we roll on down the road." Yep, he knows! He also knows how to project individuality. "Mule Kick" is definitely a 'long-time' picking experience, but he replicates it just like he created it. Interesting all the way through. It's already a 'new' year for submitting CD's to the Rural Roots Music Commission for their "CD of the Year" awards in early September, 2018. Off it goes, with my hope that the folks hear it like I do.

Summer has arrived in Yosemite, bringing with it huge throngs of visitors. As you may know, I show my movie Return to Balance: A Climber's Journey on the weekends at the Visitor's Center and get to interact with lots of folks in the dialog after that. Lots of questions about rock climbing for sure, but I also get questions that make me feel honored because they resonate to the deeper meaning of the movie, which is that through my dedication to the ways of a rock climber, I have come to appreciate the deep harmony of human existence with the laws of nature. The movement of your body through physical space requires the coming together of your body and psyche with the spirit of the natural world.
I'm fascinated by how much my own appreciation of climbing has been inspired by the writings of the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba and his student, Mitsugi Saotome. I have been carrying around Ueshiba's inspiring book Art of Peace with me for years. Here's what I wanted to share with you, from Saotome's book, Aikido and the Harmony of Nature:
Regarding the basis of Aikido, he writes in his Preface:
"Aikido movement must be understood from its roots deep in universal law. Its goal is to promote a deeper understanding and appreciation of the perfection of nature's balance, and to bring humanity back into harmony with God. I want to create in each person's mind a vivid flashback into our beginnings. I want to draw from your subconscious mind the memory of the very beginning of life and the struggle between time and space of the incredible evolution of humanity. I want you to feel the beauty and power of that evolution and give thanks to the Divine Creator."
Substitute "Aikido" with "climbing", and if you are uncomfortable with "God", just use "our being", and you see why I find it so meaningful.
Saotome also describes so well the understanding about the balance between nature and society, a value that we wish so much to nurture in our youth through their trips to Yosemite:
"In our selfishness we forget the delicate balance of the dependence of one life form on all others. If everyone applied to nature's resources a conservation born of respect, love and understanding, and used them with an attitude of sincere thanksgiving to God, nature would be protected and the quality of life enriched. By protecting nature we protect society. By protecting society we protect ourselves. If nature is destroyed, the most fundamental requirement for survival is destroyed. To survive, we must nourish our body. If there is no food, if the water and the air are contaminated, there is no life, no society."
These are extremely high aspirations to have for our program, but we want nothing less. It stands much like a tall mountain in the far distance that we are setting out to climb. Getting there will require much perseverance, route finding, creek crossings, tricky traverses, and technique. So we continue to take our baby steps, bringing groups of kids for day trips and camping experiences.
Since the last newsletter, I've had the privilege of a hosting a few more trips with the Merced County Probation youths, and another trip with kids in foster care. I have been busy learning through these experiences how best to move up the mountain. What I have learned so far I have to say is the role of simplicity, not complexity, in developing the clarity of the senses.
The best moments have come in listening to the water, taking in expansive views of the high Sierras, or encountering a Mountain King snake. In the presence of natural beauty, we appreciate the power of slowing down and having the time to recognize the senses, clearing them out in order to gain balance. Our challenge at Sacred Rok is figuring out how to get this quality experience, while still recognizing that what society wants is to take this experience, scale it up and make it go faster.
Facing that pressure, let me retreat to my Aikido master, Ueshiba Morihei, who wrote in The Art of Peace: "The only cure for materialism is the cleansing of the six senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind). If the senses are clogged, one's perception is stifled. The more it is stifled, the more contaminated the senses become. This creates disorder in the world, and that is the greatest evil of all. Polish the heart, free the six senses and let them function without obstruction, and your entire body and soul will glow."
In my life as a rock climber, this is the spirit that has kept me balanced, moving into new dimensions of climbing. When I finally climbed Magic Line, the hardest climb of my life, I needed to connect my senses to the natural harmony of the place. I had worked on the climb for many months repeating and working on every move. I remember the cold day walking up the trail to the route, trying to clear myself of the stresses that had been accumulating perhaps because of the confusion of my ego. What I really needed was to free myself of these complicated thoughts. I was only successful because I was able to let go of any confusion about why I wanted to do the climb and simply allow all of my senses to engage in the reality of each move as it unfolded harmoniously.

Starting an after-school drama club
Drama is an excellent medium for engaging young people in thinking about big ideas. At its heart, drama is about telling stories. Through participation children grow in confidence, gain skills in presentation and learn how to use their bodies and voices. It also promotes trust, collaboration and listening skills.
Across three articles, Fiona Stewart, Foolproof Creative Arts, explains how to start, plan and run an after-school drama club. Below the first part which highlights what to keep in mind before starting a drama club.
If you have people in your church who are dramatic, enthusiastic as well as confident in working with children, an after-school or lunchtime drama club is a great resource to offer your local primary school.
- Before you approach your local head teacher make sure you are confident of what you are offering. You can consider something that has a Christian core, using Bible stories or seasonal material. Alternatively, you may opt for something that is not overtly Christian. In our experience a school is likely to be more comfortable with the idea of non-religious themed drama in the first instance.
- Make sure you are clear on your Child Protection Policy and that your volunteers are PVG checked.
- Think about the age group you want to work with. We tend to work with P4 and above, but even within a P4-7 range there is a vast difference in ability and confidence.
- Many people's idea of drama is a grand performance of a complex script, and most children will come with high expectations of creating a show stopping production in a matter of weeks! Be realistic about what you, and they, can achieve with limited time and resources.
- Remember that not all children are skilled readers, and many will prefer to create their own dramas from a story stimulus. By using games and storytelling exercises you can create a club that is fun to attend and produces something decent for parents and others to watch at the end of term.
- Plan back from the end of term. If you decide to put on a performance for parents gather some people who can help you with welcome, refreshments and chatting to the audience.
Next week, Fiona will explain how to plan an after school drama club.

Consideration of interests, needs, possibilities and experience of different groups of women and men in all life spheres of community forms the basis of gender-sensitive policy of the country. One of the efficient instrument of gender-sensitive policy implementation is gender responsive budgeting (GRB).
GRB is the application of complex gender approach in the budgetary policy and budgetary process at the state and local levels, comprising the allocation of budgetary funds by gender principle, as well as contributes to the enhancement of the transparency and controllability.
GRB is the budgeting method with certain people – women and men from different social and demographic groups in the centre of it. Main components of the gender responsive budgeting process are:
1) gender budget analysis;
2) changes in programs and budgets;
3) system integration of GRB into budgetary process.
The key component of gender responsive budgeting implementation is the gender budget analysis.

This is the best ever syn free spaghetti carbonara – seriously!!
I wanted to put together a syn free spaghetti carbonara recipe (one of my fav pasta dishes ever) that was still really yummy but also syn free on Slimming World and oh boy! did I achieve that. It is delicious.
If anyone is disappointed after making this, I will seriously eat my words lol
When coming up with this recipe, I didn't want to use quark or anything like that, as I hate the tangy taste it gives to pasta and the little stock trick I use for sauteing veggies without the need for oil, works wonders in this, as it also adds to the flavour.
The traditional Carbonara recipes do not have mushrooms added, but if you want to add some speed foods to this, then they compliment it really nicely.
Otherwise I serve with a nice mixed salad.
For those following Weight Watchers, use half the cheese in the recipe to bring the nutritional information down slightly.
If you are looking for some other delicious syn free or low syn pasta dishes, check out my other recipes here: Low Syn and Syn Free Pasta recipes
Extra Easy – 1 HEa per serving
WW Smart Points - 14 (using only 30g of parmesan)
- 140g (5oz) uncooked spaghetti (gluten free can be used)
- 4 slices of lean back bacon (fat removed), chopped up
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 30g (1oz) finely grated parmesan (1 HEa)
- salt and black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 240ml (1 cup) of chicken or vegetable stock
- ⅓ cup (80ml) of the pasta liquid (once pasta is cooked)
- spray oil
- to serve
- 30g (1oz) of parmesan (1 HEa)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Cook pasta according to the packet instructions.
- Drain, but keep ⅓ cup of the cooking liquid.
- Combine 30g/1oz oft the cheese, egg, egg yolk and a little salt and pepper in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Gradually add the reserved ¼ cup cooking liquid (this ensures the egg doesn't scramble when you add it to the pasta) to egg mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk. Set aside.
- Spray a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat with some spray oil. Add the bacon and cook until golden. Remove bacon and set aside.
- Add the onion and garlic (also mushrooms if you are adding those) to the pan, and sauté until golden.
- This is where you will need the stock, if the mushrooms, onions and garlic start to stick, keep adding a little of the stock and continue this process until the stock is almost gone and the mushrooms and onion have a nice golden color.
- Add the pasta and bacon back to the pan; reduce heat and mix thoroughly.
- Add the egg mixture, remove from heat and toss in pan to evenly coat.
- Divide equally among two plates, season with salt and black pepper and sprinkle with some fresh parsley and the remaining parmesan cheese.
- Enjoy!!

Do it yourself, remove and change the glass of the side mirror on your Land Rover Discovery 3. This procedure is similar for models produced between the years 2004 and 2009. You will not require tools, just in some particular cases, when the glass is broken or stuck on the support on the mirror, a screwdriver is needed.
Start by removing the old glass. You can pry it out by hand, as you can see in the picture below. As we said before, if the glass is damaged, we strongly recommend you to use hand gloves, a screwdriver or some other tool, to protect your hands.
After you detach the old glass, you will notice two wires behind it, as you can see in the image below. You must unplug them, because they have to be installed onto the new glass. They are used to heat and defrost the mirror.
At this point you can install the replacement. Plug back the two wires, align the glass on the mirror support, as you can see in the next images and press and secure it there.
These are the simple steps you need to follow, if you plan to remove and replace the glass of the side mirror on your Land Rover Discovery 3, the model manufactured between the years 2004 and 2009. You can see more in the video tutorial below.

CNC Machining is a process used in the manufacturing sector that involves the use of computers to control machine tools. Tools that can be controlled in this manner include lathes, mills, routers and grinders. The CNC in CNC Machining stands for Computer Numerical Control.
The process is more precise than manual machining, and can be repeated in exactly the same manner over and over again. Because of the precision possible with CNC Machining, this process can produce complex shapes that would be almost impossible to achieve with manual machining

I was reminded of last season's Hart Trophy debate while watching the Connor McDavids come from behind and defeat the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday.
You read that right. I'm not calling them the Edmonton Oilers anymore. After all, this isn't a team. It's a one-man show.
And frankly, it's embarrassing — to McDavid and the Oilers and the rest of the NHL.
Years from now we're going to look back at the 2017-18 season, a year when McDavid finished with 108 points — six more than the next player — and wonder how he wasn't named MVP. How he wasn't even a top-three finalist (for the record, I voted him third, which looking back was far too low).
The reason, of course, was that the rest of McDavid's team was awful. Even with McDavid scoring 41 goals and leading the league in points, Edmonton missed the playoffs. The argument was that it's difficult to be named "most valuable to your team" when your team is a loser.
Which brings us to this year.
McDavid's team has scored 10 goals. Four of them have come off his stick and he has assisted on another five. That's 90% of his team's total offence. At the same time, his team is 2-2-0.
Take him off the ice and his team doesn't score, never mind win.
It's a big reason why McDavid's ice time jumped from 21:33 last season to 23:34 — most among forwards — this year. Patrick Kane is the only other forward averaging more than 23 minutes. If Oilers head coach Todd McLellan could, he'd have his star centre on the ice for all 60 minutes.
And yet, the team needs more than just McDavid.
It needs Leon Draisaitl, who is being paid as a No. 1 centre, to generate offence with Milan Lucic and Kailer Yamamoto. And it needs Ryan Strome, who is still searching for his first point, to provide secondary scoring with Jesse Puljujarvi and Drake Caggiula.
"You look at a team like Pittsburgh where they have the (Jake) Guentzels of the world and the (Conor) Shearys, and all these supporting players that complement the skill and they make Sid (Crosby) a better player as much as Sid makes them a better player," McDavid told me at the NHL Player Media Tour in September. "I think that's what you need throughout your lineup. You need guys to help each other and feed off each other and to have that chemistry."
So far, that's not happening.
And if it continues, McDavid might still win another scoring title. But he won't be able to drag the team into the playoffs.
Love the message that the Department of Player Safety sent to the rest of the NHL in how it handled the Michael Matheson hit on Elias Pettersson.
For once, no one was asking whether it was a headshot or what the initial point of contact was or whether Pettersson should have protected himself. Forget all that.
Pettersson was in a vulnerable position and Matheson exploited it. That has to stop. And a two-game suspension for a first-time offender might go a long way in helping that mission along.
This just in: big and physical is not as intimidating as small, skilled and fast.
The Los Angeles Kings realized this harsh lesson in a 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs earlier this week.
Gone are the days when teams like the Bruins could throw their weight around and hang onto the puck. No one is delivering body checks anymore.
Well, at least not the kind that used to land you on one of Don Cherry's Rock'em Sock'em VHS videos.
If you were to tell me that there's a rookie defenceman with four goals and seven points in his first six games, I'd guess you were talking about No. 1 overall pick Rasmus Dahlin — not Ottawa's Maxime Lajoie, a fifth-rounder in 2016.
How surprising has Lajoie's offensive outburst been? A year ago, he scored just one goal and 15 points in the AHL.
Most underrated player in the NHL: Carolina's Sebastian Aho, who is third in scoring with 12 points in eight games. Most overrated is Draisaitl, whose $8.5-million cap hit is part of the reason why the William Nylander negotiations are dragging on and on … The Mikhail Sergachev for Jonathan Drouin trade isn't looking as lopsided as it did a year ago. After five games, Drouin has a pair of goals and an assist, while Sergachev has two assists but is averaging the least amount of ice time among Tampa Bay defencemen … Anaheim is leading the Pacific Division, but with a league-low 23.8 shots per game, there's no question the Ducks miss Nick Ritchie, who like Nylander is awaiting a new deal … Forget Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson. The worst trade in the last five years has to be Chicago sending Artemi Panarin to Columbus for Brandon Saad, who is expected to be a healthy scratch for Thursday's game against Arizona.
Who scores first: Sidney Crosby, Nazem Kadri, Nikolaj Ehlers or Matt Duchene?
Better yet, who needs to score first? The answer is Duchene, who's coming off a 23-goal season and becomes a UFA at the end of this year.
With Panarin, Mark Stone, Jordan Eberle, Jeff Skinner, Joe Pavelski and many others also potentially hitting the market, it's important for Duchene to show he can still find the back of the net.
First Elias Pettersson. Now Brady Tkachuk. The NHL is less than a month old and already two of the most exciting rookies — and potential Calder Trophy candidates — are out long term with injuries.
Pettersson has five goals and eight points in five games, while Tkachuk has three goals and six points in four games. Getting hurt is the unfortunate part of the game.
At the same time, If I'm Dahlin, I'm covering myself in bubble wrap.
Check back in April, but the Dougie Hamilton and Micheal Ferland trade for Noah Hanifin and Elias Lindholm is working out for both sides so far … Someone forgot to tell Henrik Lundqvist that the rebuilding New York Rangers are supposed to be "losing for (Jack) Hughes." After five games, he's got a 1.99 goals-against average and a .939 save percentage … The Blackhawks knew they would be without Corey Crawford for the start of the season. And yet, they still went out and acquired Cam Ward, who after five games has a 4.07 goals-against average and a .879 save percentage. Why? … Best goalie tandem so far is John Gibson and Ryan Miller, who have combined for a .940 save percentage … Worst goalie tandem is Detroit's Jimmy Howard and Jonathan Bernier, who have combined for a .855 save percentage.
Ilya Kovalchuk didn't hang around for questions following a 4-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday. Instead, he let his play do the talking.
With two goals and two assists in six games, the Los Angeles Kings forward's three-year, $18.75 million gamble appears to be a success.
"I think it's early in the process," said head coach John Stevens. "I think he's a high-end talent, a big man who's got some really good skills. I don't know if anything's really surprised me about him. I thought he was more of a shooter, but he's a really high possession guy who makes a lot of plays. If anything, that might have been a little bit of a surprise."
Those five years that Kovalchuk spent in the KHL did not appear to hurt his game. He doesn't look slow or like he's lost a step. He's not hanging out on the perimeter. Playing on the Kings' top line with Anze Kopitar and Alex Iafallo, the 35-year-old has fired 21 shots — most of them from in close — and recorded a plus-2 rating.
"He doesn't try to score anything pretty," said defenceman Drew Doughty. "He just tries to put the puck in the net. That's what we need."
The only thing he hasn't done is helped a dreadful power play that had gone 0-for-21. Then again, with a team-leading 21 shots on net, don't expect that trend to last too long.
McDAVID OR MATTHEWS … OR CROSBY?
Where does Sidney Crosby fit into the McDavid or Auston Matthews debate?
Or Alex Ovechkin, for that matter.
Yes, it's a young man's game. But the so-called old guys aren't exactly being pushed out onto an ice floe. The last time we checked, it was Crosby and Ovechkin — not McDavid and Matthews — who had won the Conn Smythe Trophy during the last three Stanley Cup finals.
Did we forget that Ovechkin won the Rocket Richard Trophy last year? Or that prior to last season, Crosby had finished in the top three in scoring in each of the previous five years?
Crosby, who is still searching for his first goal — he's been a notoriously slow starter — has four assists in five games. Ovechkin has four goals and seven points in five games.
And it's not just them. While 10 of the top 20 scorers are under the age of 25, the leader board is filled with veterans who haven't lost a step. Here are five over the age of 30 that could challenge for the scoring title:
Patrice Bergeron, Boston
Had scored 27 goals and 54 points in 55 games before a fractured right foot took him out of Hart Trophy contention.
Jonathan Toews, Chicago
Captain Serious, who is coming off declining offensive years, is back to his old self with points in all five games.
Alexander Radulov, Dallas
Playing on a stacked line with Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn, Radulov might have no trouble topping last year's 72-point total.
Evgeni Malkin, Pittsburgh
Finished fourth in scoring last season with 98 points. As long as he can stay healthy — and stays on a line with Phil Kessel — expect even more this year.
Phil Kessel, Pittsburgh
Had a career-best 92 points last season. And the most remarkable thing about it was Kessel was not even playing with Malkin or Crosby.
1. Toronto Maple Leafs
Who needs Nylander when Kapanen has scored four goals and eight points.
2. New Jersey Devils
Keith Kinkaid's perfect record could make Cory Schneider expendable.
3. Nashville Predators
Have lost once in six games.
4. Anaheim Ducks
Losing Ryan Getzlaf could put pressure on re-signing Nick Ritchie.
5. Boston Bruins
Pastrnak and Bergeron have combined for 12 goals in five games.
6. Carolina Hurricanes
Have come down to earth with losses to Winnipeg and Tampa Bay.
7. Chicago Blackhawks
All five games this season have gone into overtime.
8. Vancouver Canucks
Boeser only has two goals, but both have been game winners.
9. Montreal Canadiens
Tatar's seven points are six more than Pacioretty has for Vegas.
10. Winnipeg Jets
They could use some goals from Nikolaj Ehlers right about now.
11. Tampa Bay Lightning
Stamkos still without a goal — and just one assist — after four games.
12. Pittsburgh Penguins
Murray is back from a concussion, but DeSmith is not giving up the net.
13. Ottawa Senators
Who needs Erik Karlsson when you have Thomas Chabot.
14. Calgary Flames
Mike Smith and his .881 save percentage need to be better.
15. Washington Capitals
Kuznetsov has entered superstar status with nine points in five games.
16. Dallas Stars
The Star Line of Benn, Seguin and Radulov have 11 goals and 28 points.
17. Los Angeles Kings
Kings are 0-for-21 on the power play.
18. Colorado Avalanche
MacKinnon already has seven goals in six games.
19. Vegas Golden Knights
After a shaky start, Vegas is back.
20. Columbus Blue Jackets
Bobrovsky wants $11-million a year? Not with that .860 save percentage.
21. Philadelphia Flyers
Calvin Pickard has already stolen the net away from Brian Elliott.
22. Buffalo Sabres
All three of Sheary's goals have come on the power play.
23. San Jose Sharks
Erik Karlsson is minus-5 with no goals and three assists after six games.
24. Minnesota Wild
Eric Staal (two goals and four points) already proving last year was no fluke.
25. New York Islanders
No Tavares? No problem, as Barzal scores five points in first four games.
26. Edmonton Oilers
The Connor McDavids are as good as their captain.
27. New York Rangers
Lundqvist has been magnificent. Too bad he's not getting any help.
28. St. Louis Blues
One win in five games is not the start anyone wanted.
29. Florida Panthers
Still looking for win No. 1.
30. Arizona Coyotes
Familiar start to the season for the Coyotes.
31. Detroit Red Wings
A six-game losing streak to start the season.

TOKYO (CBS.MW) - The Nikkei Average closed higher for a third straight session Monday led by banks, before reports emerged about the early handover of sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government.
The Nikkei Average ended up 103.66 points, or 0.9 percent, at 11,884.06, its highest close since April 28. The broader Topix gained 14.16 points, or 1.2 percent, to 1,186.60.
Other regional markets ended mostly lower before the reports, but the Hang Seng index in Hong Kong reversed early losses and closed up 0.08 percent.
The handover of sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government from the U.S.-led coalition took place two days before the originally scheduled June 30. See full story.
"Investors will view this as positive news," said Robert Sasaki, managing director at Bear Stearns in Tokyo.
But others noted that the initially muted impact of the news on the dollar showed not all investors will view the news as unequivocally positive.
"The market impact is very negligible, because the serious situation for the coalition will continue, That's why the dollar was temporarily bought but then lost some gains," said Toru Umemoto, financial markets analyst at Keio University's Global Security Research Center in Tokyo said Monday afernoon.
The U.S. currency later strengthened to 108.27 yen, compared with 107.59 yen late Friday in the U.S.
Taiwan's Weighted Average index lost 1.6 percent, South Korea's Kospi index declined 1 percent. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index eased 0.2 percent and China's Shanghai Composite index was down 1.1 percent.
Singapore's Straits Times index was up 0.6 percent.
Japanese market
Banks led Japan's gains on hopes that data later this week will provide more evidence of the nation's improving economy.
On Tuesday, Japan will release industrial production data for May, which is expected to show a rise of 2.5 percent from April, according to J.P. Morgan. The government will also release employment and spending data on Tuesday. The Bank of Japan will release its tankan business sentiment survey Thursday, which is expected to show sentiment at its highest level in 13 years.
Market participants are also awaiting the outcome of the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy meeting on June 29-30, which many expect will result in a 25-basis point interest rate hike.

Bison Run
We came upon a herd of around 150 animals while visiting Custer State Park in southern South Dakota (which was a spectacular state, by the way) and I went nuts getting photos. There were several bulls and every one of them was chasing a cow. They weren't interested in me, so I didn't feel too threatened. I was, however, very threatened by one very large, angry, head-shaking cow who definitely didn't think I should be in her territory. She charged toward me twice and I got the message the second time. There was a fence between us, but I had no doubt that she could go through it if she wanted. We used to have a Simmental cow that behaved that way when she had a young calf. That cow nearly caught me several times and once chased me around and around the tractor bellowing and head-shaking the whole time. We called her "Spooky", because she was also hard to catch and pen and nearly impossible to get into a trailer. Obviously we finally DID catch her...and we vowed to never again coddle spooky cows. One cow that is difficult can "infect" the whole herd and make catching them impossible. What a rodeo that used to be!
Matthew 19:26
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

Bins go missing from boats in Varanasi; clean Ganga mission affected
Some locals and boatmen were said to have had taken the bins home even as the municipal authorities assured a crackdown.lucknow Updated: Jul 16, 2017 21:00 IST
Several garbage bins have gone missing just a week after they were distributed to boatmen in the temple town of Varanasi to prevent tourists from throwing waste into the Ganga.
A boatman who did not wish to be named said some locals and boatmen had taken the bins home.
Vinod Kumar Nishad, president of the Maa Ganga Nishad Raj Seva Samiti, an organisation of boatmen, told HT that he would inform municipal authorities to ensure the dustbins are recovered.
The Varanasi Municipal Corporation (VMC) and NGO Brijkishore Student Welfare Association had distributed 1,200 dustbins — 600 blue and green each for dry and wet waste — to the boatmen on May 21 under the Namami Gange (clean Ganga) mission.
Over 40 drains carrying sewage from all over the city flows into the Ganga. A study by IIT BHU professor Mishra revealed that the pollution in the river increased as water levels receded due to high temperature.
Besides, many tourists have food while boating and dump the leftovers and wrappers into the holy river. Now they are supposed to use the dustbins on the boats.
Varanasi mayor Ramgopal Mohale said he would ask the municipal commissioner to look into the matter and "ensure that the dustbins are recovered".
"Dustbins have been provided to the boatmen with the pious objective of making the Ganga clean," Mohale said, and appealed to the boatmen to ensure their safety.
Vinod said the dustbins on his boat were safe as he locked them in a box before leaving for home at night. Some other boatmen too follow this practice.
Avinash Srivastava, VMC tehsildar, also said he would look into the matter and ensure that dustbins were back on the boats.
The VMC sanitation workers collect the bins twice daily and give them back to boatmen after taking out the garbage.
The civic authorities have decided to put up signage on the boats, asking people to use the dustbins and not dump waste in the river.

Centrepoint ~ Giving Homeless Young People a Future
Set up as an emergency shelter in 1969 Centrepoint have grown into one of the UK's leading youth homelessness charities.
83,000 young people aged between 16 and 25 experience homelessness each year. Homelessness has a detrimental impact on both the young people affected and society at large. As Centrepoint put it – "young people describe their lives as being 'on hold' while they are homeless", making it tough for them to get on in life and look after their health and well-being.
There are many, often interwoven reasons why young people become homeless. Family breakdown, the transition from the care system, mental health issues, exclusion from education and lack of access to job opportunities can all play a part.
And homelessness isn't just about sleeping rough on the streets and in doorways. It can be hidden from view. Young people may be forced in to living in temporary hostel or B&B accommodation, staying on the floors and sofas of friends, and even just acquaintances.
And like us here at Interlink Software you can help by sponsoring a Centrepoint room. Room sponsorship pays for the basic costs of providing a room – heating, lighting, bedding and hot water. Sponsorship also contributes to funding a whole host of services designed to support young people in moving on and escaping homelessness once and for all. This might be help with getting their own homes, accessing training and education opportunities, improving their basic life-skills and finding employment.
Read some real-life stories about some of the young people Centrepoint have helped HERE

Lloyd Hopkins, Managing Director of Interlink Software: "I saw a documentary on how the charity works and it struck me as an extremely good cause, one where a small regular donation can make a huge impact for helping homeless people get their lives on track."

NOTE: The Following Post Contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Suicide Squad.
The idea of turning the comic book movie formula on its head, and telling a story where the bad guys are the ones doing the heroics is an easy sell. And with DC Comics favorites like Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc and Captain Boomerang filling out the roster, Suicide Squad looked to try something completely different within the larger context of the DCEU. Critics have let the world know what they thought of the attempt, and fans will soon be getting their turn. But there's one thing all will agree on: the actual villain facing off against these... villains is more than a little strange.
We don't mean "strange" as in extraordinary or supernatural - she is both of those things - but strange in the sense that the backstory, overall goal, and methods used in the master plan are hastily sketched out, or left completely off-screen (there's two villains of the piece, if you want to be specific). We've already broken down the film's post-credits scene, identified some of the biggest spoilers, and detailed various easter eggs that David Ayer managed to slip in.
Now, to guarantee audiences know exactly what comic book stories were being drawn upon for Suicide Squad's big bads, the real mythology and religion behind them, and what doors have been opened for the future of the DCEU, we're breaking down the movie's real villains - Amanda Waller exempted - who they are, and where they come from.
The Enchantress
According to recent rumors, there was a plan to begin the entire film following the young woman referred to as "archaeologist Dr. June Moone," heading into an unknown cave in an unknown jungle... and finding something truly unknown. As the finished film has it, June Moone is simply introduced as one of the most impressive metahuman assets Amanda Waller has in her pocket. At which point in her description the audience is treated to a selection of scenes that cover June's origin.
She falls into a cave filled with skulls and trinkets, she cracks the head off of one, releasing an eerie reflection of herself that turns to vapor before possessing her. It's a departure from the DC Comics story of June Moone in some key ways: originally, June discovered a hidden room in a castle hosting a strange creature who blessed her with the same possession. Well, she didn't know it was a possession at the time - she would simply transform into a powerful witch by uttering a single name: Enchantress.
From here, the story of Enchantress and June Moone becomes something of a fusion between the character's story in John Ostrander's "Suicide Squad" comic, and some ancient mythology based on human history. In the comic, the Enchantress identity was revealed to be a separate entity controlling June's body - an entity later revealed to be The Succubus, a desire demon from a time before time. In the film, director David Ayer seems to have embraced the actual ramifications of a creature that old, and from that reality. The result is the film's version of Enchantress: a dark, occult, mud-caked pagan speaking in a foreign tongue, with magical symbols worn (and written) all over her body.
Unfortunately, this is where knowledge of the comic books the story is based on is no longer a benefit, since some other changes had to be made to keep the character from being laughable. The Enchantress of the comics was basically a cackling spellcaster in a green witch Halloween costume, and even updated versions have staed away from the idea of a truly ancient sorceress. But with powers to warp minds using people's desires and fears, teleport or phase through anything and to anywhere, Amanda Waller only ever got a tiny glimpse of her powers - and absolutely none of her brother's...
The Incubus
Although the brother is never referred to by name during the course of the film, the introduction card for June Moone a.k.a. Enchantress reveals that she has one relative, a brother, known as The Incubus (in religious mythology, the Succubi and Incubi were basically the same, just male and female forms). Although extensive research and investigation has been carried out on the site where June first met Enchantress, the authorities apparently never discovered that the small statue which contained June had a mate - the item is actually stored in Amanda Waller's personal safe. Upon fetching it, Enchantress hurries to Midway City, cracking open the figure to release her brother's spirit into the body of an unsuspecting businessman.
Consuming innocent bystanders to gain strength (with a boost from a nearby third rail), the Incubus gains strength fast, taking on a glowing, armored, nightmarish form of demonic warrior. Again, this is a serious improvement over the visuals of the comic book source material. We'll get to those reasons soon enough, but in the end The Incubus is effectively just the muscle for his smaller, but infinitely more calculating sister. In other words: he stands guard as she unleashes her horrible plan upon humankind.
The Plan
First things first: those fans who seek out the original series' "Nightshade Odyssey" contained in Issues #14-15 are going to be getting a very different sequence of events than the film. In that story, the same reveals are offered (that Enchantress is actually a demonic Succubus, and has a brother with whom she will do dastardly things. But a few major differences were clearly removed to keep the film's plot streamlined. For starters, it was the Incubus who was the real mastermind behind the entire plan - or, his human host at least - who also happened to be the brother of a Squad member.
Having lured the Squad into his territory, the secrets were laid bare: the Succubus and Incubus were siblings, charged with mating in both spiritual and physical form (needing a brother and sister to possess to make it happen) to produce a child. That child would then be possessed by their father, Azhmodeus - who would use it to return to Earth and basically kickstart the apocalypse. If that sounds complicated, it should, which is probably why David Ayer made some generous changes - including creating a version of the Incubus that didn't look ridiculous:
We can't say Ayer made a bad call, effectively removing any importance from the human host taken by The Incubus (unlike June Moone, who has some agency over the relationship, at times). In addition, the master plan hatched by Enchantress doesn't actually rely on the end of the world - in fact, it's the opposite. We also learn from her introduction card that she is estimated to be over 6000 years old, at least. Being an ancient deity usually comes with an air of classical elegance or grandeur. But to keep things in perspective, Enchantress and Incubus began when the most advanced technology on the planet was the wheel - and even that was a modern invention.
Her life before being trapped inside a handmade figure isn't explored, but it helps explain her appearance and motivations. Around that time - when the city-state known as "Egypt" as just getting started - the main human religions focused on sacrifices, communal shrines, and deities tied to male, female, Earth, and sky. That seems the perfect time for a deity/demon(/magically-gifted metahuman?) to claim entire peoples as tributes, exercising total control. In other words, the kind of deity or ruler that those same people would want to see disappear as progress began its march.
In the movie, that's the basic origin we get, with Enchantress freeing her brother and informing him that the humans have ceased to worship them, instead worshipping machines (and she though the wheel was bad). The plan, then, is to destroy mankind's machines, returning humanity to its baser forms and regain control over them (it's a lot easier to have people worship you when they're practically helpless without your gifts). But before she can put that plan into action, Enchantress has to deal with one problem: the fact that her heart is locked up next to an explosive in Amanda Waller's briefcase.
When Enchantress makes her first move, teleporting to Waller's bedroom, her plan is foiled by the bomb arming itself as she gets closer (Waller's no dummy). Instead, Enchantress heads to the next room, rescues her brother, leaving him to regain his power as he returns to await deployment back to him. When she returns with Rick Flag and the bomb she's supposed to use to blow up the 'non-human entity,' none of them are aware that the entity is her brother - or that she's about to try to kill them.
In the subway tunnel beneath The Incubus' base of operations, Enchantress attempts to trigger the bomb's two-second fuse and escape the destruction, but Flag prevents it from exploding with just fractions of a second left. At the betrayal, Waller makes good on her threat, and tries to kill Enchantress by repeatedly stabbing her captive heart. But Enchantress knew she would, and luckily, her brother is now powerful enough to fuel her himself, removing her heart from the equation.
As she awaits the chance to bring both Waller and her heart back to her side, Enchantress sets out to create a machine of her own: the all-too-familiar blue beam of light firing up into the sky, preparing to erase mankind's weapons and technology from the planet. Once her true heart is returned to her, she partly succeeds, destroying a few military installations and aircraft carriers (knowing just which ones to strike by tapping into Waller's brain). But the Squad fights its way through her twisted army, and slices the heart back out of her chest. And with her brother now dead, and unable to fuel her powers in its place, the team strikes.
The Enchantress is killed, and her massive 'machine' is destroyed by an explosion, since there is no power left to sustain it.
It's also worth mentioning why the Enchantress felt that the time had come to act, since she explains to the Squad that changes are coming - and as the magic in the world "rises," more changes will be coming (a fact that's proven by the sudden emergence of more metahumans). In the context of the Justice League, that may not have a literal payoff (unless you consider Apokolips magic). But for the larger DCEU as a whole, Enchantress' words could prove to be prophetic: and this "rise" of magic could be seen in both the Shazam movie and a potential Justice League Dark adventure. That may just be wishful thinking, but the seeds have been planted.

I took these pictures as I was packing for our last big trip from Cali to East Coast before we moved. I have been traveling for work and life so much in the last ten years that I feel like I have mastered the art of packing (not to brag - it has taken many overweight suitcases, makeup tossed in airport trash and missed flights to perfect!) After I figured out how to pack our little family of three (often four because who doesn't travel with their dog?) I thought I would share some of my tips and tricks with you. Here goes the packing tutorial...
Step 1
Layer bottom of suitcase with shoes. You can took undies, socks, etc. into their nooks and crannies later.
Step 2
ROLL YOUR CLOTHING! Less wrinkles, more space!
Fold again
Roll, roll, roll!
Step 3
Layer all of your rolled clothing in. Took it sideways and up and down to maximize space.
Step 4
I like to leave an open space for hair dryers, straighteners, etc. This way they can be covered and protected by clothes. We all know how TSA loves to jostle stuff around...
Step 5
Cover the hair tools with clothes!
Step 6
Makeup, accessory bags on top! I try to use soft sided bags as much as possible for the smushability factor. (Not Jersey Shore smush - get your head out of the gutter!)
Step 7
Make up love. Trish McEvoy makes "planners" for your makeup. I have a smaller, travel size one that holds mini makeup brushes and pages of all the makeup I need! You should invest in one of these! I can't rave enough about them! Plus, her makeup and perfumes are fabulous!
Step 8
I'm crazy anal and separate my jewelry by size of pieces. Large in one bag, smaller ones in smaller bags inside a smaller bag. Don't judge, I'm OCD. You don't need to go this far!
I hope that helps :)

Dolls Play
We (literally) created some really unique characters for the Desert AIDS Project 'PrEP n Play' campaign
Working with the Desert AIDS Project has proven to be an exciting endeavor for many of us here at Hydro. The freedom that the client gave Hydro Studios to play with such an important subject matter resulted in a campaign that was truly unique and greatly showcased our experience in cause-related marketing.
We developed the 'PrEP N Play' web series as part of a campaign for DAP and the CDC to raise awareness of PrEP, a drug that can prevent the contraction of the HIV virus. The campaign centers around a series of sex-positive, real-life testimonies from LGBTQ men and trans women in the Palm Springs area. Early on, we recognized that the manner in which we presented these testimonies would need to be fun, accessible and most importantly: strive to not alienate their target market.
Thus spawned the idea to produce our own bespoke, one-of-a-kind Prep n' Play dolls designed in the image of our real life interviewees. With stop-motion, we used the dolls to re-enact the stories captured in the interviews.
Building the dolls from scratch was an epic journey in itself and you can check out some of the process below:
First, the doll heads were built in ZBrush, a digital sculpting tool. They were then printed by a 3D printer that uses filament to construct the shape.
These 3D Prints were then used to create silicon molds for both the heads and bodies.
Chemical processing was used to then pour resin into the mold and create the doll's one-of-a-kind shape.
There were 13 separate molds for the heads alone as there were 13 different characters in the series.
Once cured and completed the doll heads were sent to a specialty doll painter in Mexico City. This specialist also creates doll wigs through an intricate gluing process and synthetic hair.
Once complete we worked with a stop-motion artist to create the animations that would accompany our real-life recorded testimonies. Have a look at the first two episodes below and be sure to then visit prepnplay.org to get the full skinny!
Stay tuned to the Hydro Website for an in depth update on the Desert AIDS Project's 'PrEP n Play' Campaign.
