Celebrating 20 years – a story unfolds
Celebrating 20 years – a story unfolds
County Museum highlights growing collection donated by the people
The contribution that the people of Dundalk and County Louth have made to the County Museum archive is the focus of its twentieth anniversary exhibition: "Celebrating 20 years – A Story Unfolds", officially opened today (Friday, April 11) by Mr Conor Newman, Chairperson of the Heritage Council of Ireland.
The County Museum, Dundalk, a former distillery and later a tobacco warehouse, was officially opened on March 28, 1994 by then Uachtarain na hEireann, Mary Robinson.
In the years since the opening of the museum, the people of the region have loyally supported the facility, adding to its collection by donating family records, images and artefacts of times gone by so that this history and knowledge is available to current and future generations.
County Museum Curator, Brian Walsh, explained that the most appropriate way to celebrate the museum's twentieth anniversary is by including the people who have made it such a success by donating items to the archive.
"The County Museum here in Dundalk has been a real success right from the beginning, thanks to the support of many local people. We have mounted many major exhibitions over the years. We were the only museum in the country to hold an Olympics Exhibition in 2012 and we were the first museum in Europe to introduce virtual technology. Later this year we will become the first museum in the country to get our 1916 exhibition up and running.
"Without a shadow of a doubt a huge part of our success has been the support we received from the people of Louth. They have worked with us wherever possible in building a remarkable archive of local history here.
"We came to the conclusion that the best was to mark the anniversary is with an exhibition which will highlight a fascinating selection of the vast number of items placed in the care of the museum over the past two decades by local people who recognise that this history should be shared with as many people as possible.
"It is the museum's way of recognising the contributions made, saying thanks and emphasising that it is for all of the people," added the curator.
Brian Walsh went on to thank Conor Newman for officially opening the anniversary exhibition in his capacity as Chairman of the Heritage Council. It was an opportunity for him to see for himself just what the museum has to offer.
"We did have the then president at our opening in 1994, though we have to recognise that our current Head of State, President Higgins, is making history himself this week in London. We would like to have him pay us a visit during our anniversary year and I hope he will be able to accept our invitation," added Mr Walsh.
'Celebrating 20 years – A Story Unfolds' will remain open to the public at the County Museum Dundalk from DATE to DATE – during normal opening hours.

Hi Again,
I decided to interrupt this otherwise strictly Silver Bella update to share a few pics from my Alaska adventure a month ago! I went for a work trip and work we did! Below is a pic of a little plane we took for a 15 minute flight from Anchorage to Kenai Penisula. Very friendly people there!
This was a view from Kenai too.
We did have a day and a half to drive down the countryside of Alaska from Anchorage to Seward and saw some really beautiful scenery, not many people, but lots of scenery!
The mountains were a totally different feel from the Rockies that I'm used to! I like how we were basically at sea level with the mountains all around.
We stopped at a Animal Wildlife Conservation, it was really nice to see that people are looking after these animals that weren't quite ready to be back in the "real world".
This bear was tip toeing across the ice testing it!!
It was such a crisp clear chilly day, perfect for the drive.
We drove on down to Seward, which seems pretty closed up for the winter.
On our drive back my friend Pat really wanted to try the 2.5 mile tunnel that goes through a mountain (apparently the longest one around?). So we paid our $14 bucks or so and drove through. It was creepy, being Halloween night, and it being dark and not many people around!! Luckily we timed it right, because since the tunnel is only one narrow road, you have to wait on the other side for it to open in the right direction!! We could have been stuck there for close to two hours, but made it back through in 20 min or so!!
After that, we were ready to get back to civilization and get some sleep to get ready for the long journey home! What an interesting week in Alaska!

Late summer sunrise seen from Mt Tolmie in Saanich, BC. The prominent peak in the distance is Mt Baker in Washington, USA. Sunrise colours are caused by refraction in the air between the sun and your eye. Bright colours with distinct separation require a long path length through clear air. Given the predominance of red tones in this image and the generally hazy appearance it seems there was some dust (aerosols) preventing optimum transmission of light.

A collection of gifts, a tree with ornaments,
a table with food and a group of hungry woodturners with spouses and friends is all it took to make a great holiday party.
Appetizers were served at 6:30, dinner at 7 followed by the ornament raffle and gift exchange.
The ornaments and gifts were of very high quality, evidence of much effort and skill on the part of the contributors.

A serious matter - Read on
We are still in need of a program manager for the monthly programs.
Programs are the core of our monthly meetings which makes the program manager's job one of the most important.
Dave Vannier has done the job over the last year.
On top of all the contributions he has made, it is not appropriate to ask him again.
Similarly, the other members of the board already shoulder much of the work of the club.
It is time for someone else to step up.
Please think seriously about how you can contribute.
We have Jan and Feb planned.
Adding in the ice cream social, summer BBQ, and the Dec pot luck leaves us with only 7 programs to define.
That is a do-able task and with all of the local woodturning talent, programs should be easily arranged.
Mostly the job is just making sure the logistics are followed up.
having the lathe and other equipment at the church makes it a fairly easy job.
If you are unable to contribute, then please let us hear your voice.
Suggest ways to deal with program implementation. Suggest program ideas which may make the program manager's job easier.
If you have a program you would like to see but don't know who could do it,
please drop an email to one of the board members for discussion at the board meeting planned for Jan 17th.
If you know who you would like to see give the program, add that info or volunteer to coordinate the logistics.
If you are willing to step up and be the program director, or more than one of you would share the job, please let us know.
Questions or concerns about being able to do the job can be answered by any of the board members, or by joining us at the January board meeting.
If you are not willing to put together seven programs, would you do one?
Either find someone to do the demonstration or do it yourself.
If we don't get someone, we are debating splitting the membership up into teams and giving you each a month.
Or we could pick names from a hat.
Remember a lot of little jobs being done add up to a vital club.

Successful relationships depend on the honesty of all parties. This is true with businesses, investments, and personal relationships. Performing due diligence to discover financial problems, criminal activity, and legal action can keep your business in check, your investments in the right hands, and your relationships with vetted individuals. The Hartman Firm incorporates best practices from intelligence gathering agencies and the private sector to obtain and interpret business intelligence. The right intelligence gives you the power to make the right decisions.
Knowing where the information is located, having access to it, and the technical expertise to exploit is required.
Due Diligence:
Due diligence investigations examine the backgrounds of corporate entities and the principals who manage them. This specialized investigative technique allows you to gather necessary intelligence so you can make informed decisions when dealing with vendors, suppliers, third-party intermediaries and those managing your investments.
Valuable intelligence may also be obtained from well-placed human sources and interviewing key individuals. Information discovered in a due diligence investigation will empower you and/or your company to make informed decisions. This may involve:
• Substantiating third-party representations
• Obtaining information in foreign countries
• Identifying legal entities
• Locating key stakeholders
• Tracking an individual's activities through social media, open source media, and proprietary databases
• Inspecting the deep web for hard to locate information
• Locating a company's products being sold illegally or counterfeited
• Exposing fraudulent business enterprises, locating assets, and finding hidden intelligence
Asset Investigations:
Locating assets is at the core of many forensic engagements. This type of intelligence can be vitally important before engaging in business formations, contracts, or transactions. Asset investigations can be of equal importance during a business or marital separation to ensure you have sound information when negotiating the separation of assets. You may need a comprehensive asset investigation when encountering the following circumstances.
• Assessing the value of a legal claim prior to initiating litigation
• Collecting on a judgment
• Locating hidden bank and investment accounts
• Identifying a silent partner, business ownership and funding partners
• Finding the previous owner of a property or entity
• Employment screening for compliance and fiduciary responsibilities
• Investing in a business to keep your money and sanity secure
• Business mergers or combinations
• Business separation
• Marital separation
Social Media & Open Source Investigations:
Your matter may require a search of social media and open source media. Social media services can provide a rich source of information for both personal and business intelligence. However, these media services and the content they provide are constantly changing. Full exploitation of this information requires specialized knowledge. Today, social media includes: Facebook, Blogger, Twitter, WordPress, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, Google+, Tumblr, Craigslist, personal webpages, eBay, Amazon, and others. The following services can be provided:
• Conducting an online background on any business, person or entity, foreign or domestic
• Locating online social network profiles and assets
• Managing intelligence gathering on cutting edge services
• Establishing relational information among entities, individuals, and assets
• Establishing a social media-monitoring plan based on topic, geographic location or other indicators including geo-fencing
Proprietary Database Searches:
Although much of today's intelligence can be obtained on the Internet, in public records, and through social media, critical pieces of intelligence may still reside with fee-based service providers. These providers include:
• Westlaw
• LexisNexis
• Thomson Reuters CLEAR
• TLOxp (TransUnion)
• IRBsearch
• Dun & Bradstreet
• Experian
• Equifax
• TransUnion
• Other Proprietary databases
Specific Types of Business and Personal Intelligence:
• Names, aliases, and Social Security Account Numbers
• Bankruptcies, foreclosures, liens, and judgments
• Real estate records
• Criminal histories
• Civil and criminal court records
• Phone numbers, cell phones, listed and unlisted landlines
• Relatives, neighbors, and associates
• Assets including property, vehicles, and more
• FAA Pilots, water and aircraft registration
• Marriage and divorce records
• Licenses including professional, driver's, and more
• Email addresses and social networks
• Current and previous employees, officers, and directors
• Corporate affiliations
• UCC filings
• Branches, subsidiaries, parents companies, and headquarters
• Secretary of State filings

FIFA Women's World Cup 2015
Are you ready for a power packed summer? Are you looking to stream one of the top sporting events of the calendar year? If you have nodded to the questions we have asked, you probably ought not to miss the FIFA Women's World Cup 2015 that will be played in Canada. First tournament dates back to 1991 that was played in China.
The tournament is going strong and will now be the seventh in the Women's Soccer World Cup series. Unlike the 2011 World Cup, this time 24 teams will be participating in the much anticipated sporting event. Since the FIFA Women's World Cup is being hosted by Canada, the Canadian team had already received a direct entry in 2011, soon after the '11 tournament finished.
View 2018 Football World Cup on Firestick and enjoy all the live actions.
Where to Watch?
The World Cup 2015 Canada will be broadcasted by many TV channels all around the world. But due to the restrictions and licensing issues, many of the regions would get a syndicated run or no access at all. But we are still going to list down the channels and the regions where the Women's Soccer World Cup will be available for transmission.
If you are located in one of the geo-restricted regions, all you need to do is to connect your VPN with one of the below mentioned regions to get a direct link to the channel's transmission and live streaming.

|United States
|beIN Sports
|Middle East
FIFA World Cup 2015 Schedule
Since Canada is the host nation, it will play the inaugural game of the FIFA Women's World Cup against China on the 06th of June. All 24 teams are divided in 6 groups, and the current champions Japan will begin to defend their title from the 08th of June when they face Switzerland.
After the first round is played out, the round of 16 will be played within the span of three days with starting from 20th of June and ending on 23rd of June. The quarterfinals will be played on 26th and 27th of June and the semifinals will be played on 30th June and the 01st of July. The semifinals will be played in Montreal and Edmonton, and the final will be played in Vancouver on the 05th of July.
Support Your Team!
We understand that all our readers are smart and wise but we will still go ahead and say what we have wanted to say for a longtime now. Support your team! The women will get your nation going for a month, support them in big numbers and let them know that you are behind them no matter if they win or lose. While the women would desperately want to make their nations proud, you can make them proud by watching and streaming the FIFA
Women's World Cup live.
Will We Witness the Rise of a New Champion?
Honestly speaking, we would love to. But if Japan brings its A-game like it did in the last World Cup, we will be cheering for the Japanese team. Only time will tell who is going to get his hands on the WC trophy until then let's relive the final moments of World Cup 2011.
Your feedback is important to us. Let us know if this article was helpful?

Daily Grind :: We Shouldn't Have To Google Stuff To Be Interesting People/
I think we're all getting dumbed down in the world of Google and info at your finger tips. We don't know anything anymore. We don't even make an effort to store data. We know, if we need it, it's only an internet search away. I remember, one time spending an entire week trying to remember the name of the blind guy band from the movie Roadhouse. That was like my hobby for an entire week. Every waking second, all my free time, every lazy minute, racking my brain, calling friends who couldn't remember either. They'd say stupid things like, "Was he really blind?" just to piss me off.
Nowadays, you'd Bing or iMDB the movie Roadhouse and boom. You'd have the answer. If you really want verification we're getting dumber, ask a person from an older generation anything about something that really matters. Let's make the cut-off age 50+. Go ahead, ask them. I bet they know it or at the very least, they know more than you do. You see, they were raised to know stuff, not remember stuff. They didn't grow up with the internet, a computer, a smart phone or empathetic adults coddling them with a "Good Job!" every five minutes.
We shouldn't have to Google stuff to be interesting people. That's the point of today's Daily Grind. Here are a bunch of interesting tidbits on everything from cars to science to sex to relationships. When I read these articles, I really tried to store them away, and hopefully you will too. Store all this up so you can recall it the next time you head out with some friends or family. They'll be amazed at how interesting you've suddenly become. Then, maybe stumble over to the juke box, drop a quarter and play some Jeff Healey Band. (I wasn't going to leave you hanging like that; I know the pain.)
- Take a listen to history. Scientists have restored the first computer-generated music recorded on a machine built by Alan Turing more than 65 years ago.

- Still on topic, the first 3-person baby was born this week.

He is the world famous Danish architect and designer who made design history with his furniture, textiles and cutlery. Arne Jacobsen was so timeless in his design that his work feels completely contemporary regardless of the fact that it's been a quarter of a century since his glory days. Rumour has it that as the strict father prohibited his son from pursuing an artistic career, the future design icon revolted by painting the walls in his room white to draw on. Now, as his patterns are turned into wallpaper, we dare to guess that it's a move that would have made the young Arne very happy.
Arne Jacobsen was a master at using simple shapes such as triangles and circles to create intricate patterns with both rhythm, pace and tone. Vertigo is based on the movements of semicircles and was first designed as a furniture fabric.
A classic, graphic pattern based on reversed trapezes, originally designed for fabric in the 1950's. The simplicity is a stroke of genius and makes the pattern perfect for wallpapers too. A favourite amongst architects and interior designers.
This beautiful pattern is one of hundreds of textile patterns designed by Arne Jacobsen and now preserved in his archive. Small triangles and semi circles form a braided pattern, which adds a cosy feeling to the wall.
Arne had a special relationship with the simplicity of graphic, but he was also in love with nature. He's made countless textile patterns inspired by the Scandinavian flora. The graceful vines turned to art in his hands and wind their way across the wall.

Global air travel and the rise of the Internet mean that it's never been easier to find love overseas. For many years, British and American men were well known for going to Thailand in search of exotically beautiful Asian mail order brides. But now everyone's at it. British women are marrying American men, Australian men are marrying Indonesian women and so on.
If you like the idea of international dating but haven't quite decided on what country you want to find a partner from, then it's worth looking at a dating site with an international flair. One such site is International Cupid. This site isn't exclusively for men seeking mail order brides, so Western women won't feel intimidated signing up for this site.
The site offers totally free membership. Like many dating sites you only really need to pay in order to contact members on the site. The membership fee is very reasonable, and there is a good discount if you sign up for an annual membership.
On the downside, international dating scams are commonplace. It's essential to be on your guard whichever dating site you choose to use. Be wary of members without photos, or who email you and profess their undying love for you in their first email. Also be on the lookout for the many African dating site scammers who can be found on most dating sites these days.
But don't let horror stories about scams put you off searching for love overseas.

This will be the post where I talk about how each of my WRIT 5400 projects changed, how they challenged me, and what I learned while making them.
Instruct Someone: How to Binge Watch a TV Show Online!
When we were told to make a project instructing someone in some way, I almost immediately thought of the idea for How to Binge Watch. I wanted to make it a funny How To guide poking fun at the whole process of binge watching. However, there was one thing I knew I had to do in order to make it work: I had to make it a video.
I talked at length about how much I hated editing the video together. I came across multiple glitches that made the process slower than I would have liked. By the end of it, I was sick to death of the sound of my own voice. And yet, I came out with a product that I'm proud of and that, for the most part, I loved making. I loved scripting out what I thought was a humorous video, I loved being in front of the camera again and trying my hardest to "act." The editing was the biggest problem of the whole thing.
The product didn't change all that much from script to screen. I just tightened the dialogue in a few places and made the character of the Narrator a bit stronger.
Propose an App: Dog Ate My Homework
This is, honestly, the project that I had the most problems with. First, I wasn't entirely sure what kind of app I wanted to make. The first thing I thought of was a game that was addictive like Flappy Bird. However, I felt like making a game went against the purpose of the project. We had to think of something useful for users. I finally came up with the idea for the Excuse Maker app.
I then had trouble trying to decide what it should really DO. Should it randomly generate excuses? Should it only feature excuses submitted by users? Eventually, I thought of the features described in the article. I mostly thought to do it that way because, although there are other Excuse apps out there, most of them don't have a lot of user interactivity. Making an app, just coming up with one, is a lot harder than I originally thought it would be.
I didn't like how my app icon came out. I'm not a very artistic person. Doodling is the extent of my artistic talent. Yet, I couldn't find any cheap Mac compatible apps to make an icon. The professor tried to give me some help, but I didn't feel the need to download an app that I would only use once. So, I went the drawing route and I'm not overly happy with it. You'll notice that I didn't include an example of the interface. I couldn't get the drawing down very well. I apologize. I know it'll affect my grade, but I'll just take the hit.
Quantify Yourself: The Internet vs Books
This one honestly probably went through the least change from first draft to last. The only thing that really changed was my idea was to make bar graphs. I instead ended up making bar graphs because it was easier.
The project itself, once I collected the information and added it all together, was fairly straightforward. The results were about what I expected. I spend a vast majority of my time online. I guess the only real surprise was how little I read throughout the week.
This article is probably the simplest one out of all of them. The information was really easy to put together and present. Honestly, I don't have much to say about it.
Service Learning Project: Cosplayers and Observers: A Guide to Basic Etiquette at Conventions
This project was actually a lot of fun to put together. I haven't been to a lot of conventions in my life, but the few I've been to have been a lot of fun. I had a good time remembering those conventions and trying to come up with advice to give to attendees. As I mentioned in class, this project was inspired by my own experiences with cosplayers at conventions. When coming up with this project, I felt like the whole cosplay situation was the best option for making a guide about convention etiquette.
This project didn't change all that much from the first draft to the finished product. The biggest change it went through was the addition of pictures, which was a great suggestion in class. The article was just lacking that certain visual appeal without the pictures. I really love the pictures I ended up using as well. The two pictures resembling the Observers and Cosplayers were obviously pictures I took myself. However, the general picture of the convention was one I found of MegaCon online.
All in all, I'm proud of all these projects. I had a good time making a majority of them. I learned a lot about technical writing in this class and I'm sure I'll use what I learned to write blogs in the future. Thanks, Professor Mason, for a good class!

All website owners desire to be successful. The information from this article will help your website rank higher. However, this cannot happen without proper understanding of how Local Seo works best. The following information will teach you what you must do to optimize your website.
Be aware that additional advertising won't have a real effect on your SEO. While ads on certain sites might bring some traffic, your rankings will not increase.
Keep articles short and to the point so you can add several on related topics. Long pages are weighted less highly than short ones by search engines. Additionally, visitors aren't likely to read through articles that are very long.
Search Engine
When choosing a domain name, try and pick an address that has one of your keywords included. The website needs to be easily located by anyone who is searching for it. Keep in mind that not all people that come to your site go there due to advertisements, some people are there due to the products in your website.
Including keywords as well as their common misspellings can help optimize your search engine results. These meta tags are one of the main spots that the search engine bots use to determine what your site is about. An example of this is a site for eyeglasses: include words like "glasses" as well as "glases."
To help to keep your website visitors interest, you need to make sure that your website's content does that. A large part of search engine optimization isn't just getting visitors to your site, its having them return and spend time on your webpages. Small things are the reason for your customers coming back to you.
Make it easier for the web spiders and your rank will increase. The spiders will move through your site, looking at your content and keywords, but they need to be able to get around easily. Create a site map that clearly indicates a hierarchy of pages, so that the spider will be able to index your site more accurately.
To reach your Seo goals, use meta description tags to describe every page on your website. These tags are worth the time it takes, because they will offer a little summary of what the page entails, either on your site or in the search engine results. Keep the meta tags simple and of high quality. This type of tag usage will help to draw in more visitors to your site.
Don't use Flash for your website if your are working on Local Seo for it. This can cause errors in loading and slow the process down. You must make your content both crawlable and visible in order for it to be indexed and optimized by the search engine spiders.
Using product feeds can help draw traffic and business to your site. Through feeds you will be able to deliver information about your goods such as descriptions, pricing and images. Submit these to comparisons sites for shoppers as well as to search engines. Customers interested in the area of business you represent can subscribe through a feed reader.
Site Map
If you are wanting to make the most of search engine optimization, then you need a site map describing your website. Spiders will have an easier time crawling your site if there is a site map. If it's a large website, it may have to have more than one site map. A good rule to go by is to show only 100 links maximum on any given site map.
Be sure to put your keyword in your site's page title. Your title should be attention-grabbing and relevant to your content, in addition to containing keywords, since it's the first thing a visitor will see when deciding whether to visit your site. Initially, you want to cater to what the consumers are looking for, which is probably not your business name.
Include your chosen key phrases in your page title and throughout your site. The first impression of your site is generated by the title, so choose it with care. This ensures that you get hits based on keywords and search results.
Seo means many things to different people. There are many things that can help your website's ranking climb. Try using these tips to begin properly in search engine optimization.
Ensure that you register your website with the top search engines. People often mistakenly think that this is automatically done. However, it is not. Once registered, check back every once in a while to ensure your site is being ranked properly. It is important to know that the search engines do find your site, even though you might be showing up several pages back from the front page.

Green Shoots Spurs Past Timberwolves 104-94
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Danny Green hit eight 3-pointers and scored a career-high 28 points to help the San Antonio Spurs to their 11th straight win, 104-94 over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night.
Tony Parker had 31 points and eight assists and Kawhi Leonard added 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs, who kept right on rolling without injured stars Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili.
Nikola Pekovic had 21 points and 10 rebounds and Derrick Williams added 15 points and 12 boards for the Timberwolves, who added do-it-all forward Andrei Kirilenko (bruised right quadriceps) to a seemingly endless list of injured players.
The game was tied at 77 with 8 minutes to go, but Green hit two 3s and scored on a putback to put the Spurs back in front for good.
Commissioner David Stern was in the crowd for the nationally televised game, another one in which Spurs coach Gregg Popovich sat two of his big stars. Unlike the game at Miami in November, though, Popovich had an excuse this time around. Duncan has a sprained left knee and Ginobili has been bothered by a nagging left hamstring injury, so the Spurs don't have to worry about another fine coming from Stern.
Whether his big stars have been injured or just needed the night off, the rest of the Spurs have never laid down. With Parker on the throttle and Green hitting every 3-pointer in sight, the Spurs were able to pull away from the Wolves. Green only missed four times in 12 attempts and scored 11 straight points for the Spurs in the fourth quarter.
The Spurs started their annual rodeo road trip, a nine-gamer this time around, with some good news when there was no structural damage in Duncan's left knee. He was injured after taking a nasty fall in a game against the Wizards, an injury that first was feared to be season-ending. He is day to day.
"It looked awful," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said before the game. "He just kind of grinded the bones there, bone on bone."
The Spurs improved to 21-1 against losing teams and have not lost a game since Jan. 11 at Memphis in overtime.
J.J. Barea scored 15 points and Mickael Gelabale made a last push to have his second 10-day contract extended into a deal for the rest of the season with 10 points. Ricky Rubio had 11 assists, but was just 3 for 13 from the field.
The injury-plagued Timberwolves (18-28) have won only twice in their last 15 games, with a season that started with playoff aspirations in danger of swirling down the drain.

For the past few weeks I've been battling Benefit Cosmetics "Roller Lash" and Maybelline "Lash Sensational" both of which are the latest mascaras from each company. I was seeing ads for these two mascaras everywhere and I knew I needed to get my hands on them. I was particularly excited for Benefit's "Roller Lash".
First, both mascaras applicators are fairly similar. They're curved and they have fine teeth to grasp lashes. Although, the Maybelline applicator is chubby whereas the Benefit applicator is thinner. At first, I thought these two were similar in the way they made my lashes looked but upon further inspection I realized "Roller Lash" really takes the 'feather effect' to a whole new level.
As far as application goes… that's a tough one. Some days "Lash Sensational" was super messy and would flake, other days it would apply beautifully and not flake. "Roller Lash" is tricky, for instance layering. Sometimes when I would try to layer coats of the mascara on my top lashes it would clump all of my lashes together. I'm talking like I had 8 lashes total on each eye. It was terrible. I soon realized it was because I like to put mascara on both the bottom and top of my top lashes… if that makes sense. I quit doing this, and now it's beautiful every time . "Lash Sensational" can clump when layering, but it wasn't as drastic as "Roller Lash" in my opinion.
"Roller Lash" claims to lift and curl lashes better is spot on. There's no arguing that. Plus, I noticed with "Lash Sensational" my lashes wouldn't seem as…. perky after a few hours. "Roller Lash" also claims to make the eyes look bigger and more open and in the side by side photo you can totally tell it's true.
Price point is clear on this one. "Lash Sensational" is cheaper than "Roller Lash". Obviously. "Roller Lash" retails for $24 and "Lash Sensational" is $8.99 depending where you buy it. I kept going back and forth with the winner of this Battle of the Brands because I honestly liked both mascara's. It wasn't until last week when I decided completely which mascara I liked better and which I think is better. That mascara is…….
Benefit Cosmetics "Roller Lash"
Honestly, as much as I liked "Lash Sensational" it didn't seem to do anything that wow'd me. It just felt like a usual mascara I had in my collection already. I was amazed at how different "Roller Lash" was for me. It grabbed small lashes I didn't even know where there! Not only that, but it really made my lashes look so full and feathery. "Roller Lash" is definitely worth the money.
Have you tried these bad boys yet? Let me know what you think!

"Let me tell you why you're here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this Earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste Godliness." Matthew 5 (The Message)
Have you ever been at church, become aware of the way someone around you is worshiping, and wondered to yourself, "Why don't I respond that way?" or worse "Why in the world are they responding that way?" I admit to doing that more than once, and it's this exact kind of response that got me thinking about our saltiness. On the surface, salt seems simple, but in reality salt can be diverse bringing unique and different flavors to the table depending on how it's made.
Sea Salt
Kosher Salt
Course or Flake Salt
Himalayan Pink Salt
Finishing Salt
Each serves a different purpose much like each of us serves a unique purpose in God's kingdom. When I think about "saltiness" related to Christianity, I naturally gravitate to how rich the Lord is within us. Is he visible in our actions? Are the people around us closer to God because we've allowed Him to saturate us so that He's pouring off of us and onto others?
But what if it's not just about that kind of saltiness? What if it has more to do with the combination of flavors from those around us that truly allows us to do great things? A dear friend of mine recently brought to my attention that the "you" in the above verse isn't really about us individually but about us as a collective. That we can do great things through God individually, but to live into that verse we must think how much more we could accomplish together.
Unfortunately, it's not always that easy. We tend to get in our own way by assuming our way is the right way. That our particular salt is the one and only salt.
"She doesn't raise her hands during worship, so she must not love the Lord like I do."
"He didn't sign up for that Bible Study, so he must not be interested in making disciples."
"How dare they try to bring Sea Salt to the table when we're only looking for Himalayan Pink Salt!"
I sometimes worry that believers aren't losing their saltiness because they've strayed from God, but because other believers around them tried to change their flavor to suit their own tastes. Imagine what we've lost. It's like baking a cake without baking powder. It seems like such a simple ingredient and yet when one piece is left out, the whole thing falls flat.
The more we understand and embrace the diverse way in which God created us, the easier it becomes to work together for a greater purpose. Imagine how impactful this could be – love vs. judgement, united vs. against each other, confident vs. afraid of what those around us in our community of believers might think. That's world changing kind of stuff!
Stay Salty My Friends!

KC is Banned From 5 LA Hotels
KC Armstrong called in and briefly discussed why he had to stop working with the show: "I went nuts." KC admitted that he got so bad toward the end that he began writing in a Bible with his own blood, which didn't surprise Howard: "KC's favorite song was 'God Hates Us All.'" KC laughed that he was still crazy but had changed quite a bit - so much so that he's now going to church...although he has had a few shots of vodka before going. Howard said he'd heard that KC been having a wild couple weeks, so KC confessed the rumors were true: He and his new girlfriend are banned from 5 area hotels for loud sex and trashed rooms ("I think I found the one."), he recently wrecked a rented Escalade and hasn't talked with his brother since his last arrest ("He's screaming [at me] like, 'You can't live your life this way.'"). Howard suggested that KC try to patch things up with his brother as it was obvious he was trying to help him.

I expect this tallboy is made of blackwood, but I'm not entirely sure. It's a solid, fairly simple piece and I'm sure could have been sanded down a bit more and stained a beautiful, rich shade of brown.
Too bad I steer clear away from stains...and good thing I am not scared of a little white paint! I love the outcome and it's sporting my favourite pewter knobs.

So now Google makes a phone? Sure. Why not. The Google Pixel and its big brother the Google Pixel XL hit the market in October of 2016. It's gotten fairly good reviews too. With all the Samsung issues of late, this may not be a bad alternative for Android fans. For iOS fans in love with Siri, Google Assistant might be smarter than her. It's a nice looking phone with a great camera.
When it comes to mounting, it's important to know the dimensions of these devices. The Google Pixel checks in with a 5.0 inch diagonal screen and is 5.60 inches tall by 2.70 inches wide. The larger Google Pixel XL is larger. Sporting a 5.5 inch diagonal screen, this iPhone is 6.0 inches tall, 2.90 inches wide. This is what's needed for selecting a mount. I haven't seen any custom mounts for these phones yet and doubt we will. Mount manufacturers have been avoiding custom cradles lately and are pushing universal mounts.
Any expensive phone deserves a case and the Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL qualifies. Get a case or skin. We like Otterbox a lot but there are a lot of other manufacturers with good cases out there.
There are a lot of companies that offer some excellent mounting solutions that will fit the Google Pixel and Pixel XL phones. We'll try to stick with mounts that will fit either model.
The windshield is the most popular location to mount especially if you plan to use it as a GPS. Use Waze for this purpose as I do. It should work extremely well on the Google Pixel and Pixel XL.
A well made expandable mount that I have used for my phone is the Arkon Slim Grip Ultra Suction Cup Car Mount. This mount features an expandable cradle which expands to over 7 inches using a spring-loaded top and bottom. The support arms move so that you can expose any ports or buttons. This will fit both the Google Pixel and Pixel XL with or without a thick case. The mount comes with an adhesive dash plate so that you can attach to the mount to your dash as well as your windshield. The phone can swivel into landscape or portrait mode. I typically use this mount in landscape 90% of the time. The manufacturer provides a 2-year warranty.
Next, consider the iKross Cup Holder Mount for Tablets and Phones. These mounts serve a dual purpose in that a cradle for a phone and a tablet are included. The mount is adjustable and solidly made to easily handle the weight of a tablet so this phone is a lightweight comparatively speaking. You will see a lot of mounts on the market for tablets or cell phones. This is the only car mount kit that we know of to offer two different cradles, one for the phone, the other for the tablet.
The Square Jellyfish Jelly-Grip Car Air Vent Mount is a recent discovery for the vent. The Square Jellyfish Jelly-Grip mount can be used to hold either of these phone models with or without a case or skin. It is built on a ball and socket so the cradle swivels into any orientation. This mount will work on air vents with flat louvers 3/8 to 1 inch deep. The included cradle opens to 3 5/8 inches.
If you are looking to use your Google Pixel and Pixel XL on a motorcycle, you need a cradle that will hold your phone tightly in high vibration environments. There are a few good manufacturers of motorcycle mounts out there. We want to recommend a mount with a cradle wide enough to fit both phone models.
The TechGripper Handlebar Mount Kit combines a mount with the cradle. The mount is metal and coated in black. It fits handlebar diameters from 7/8 to 1.25 inches so it covers the majority of motorcycle models that can accommodate a handlebar mount. The mount takes up .75 inches of handlebar real estate and the phone sits somewhat close to the handlebar. Installation of the mount is completed with a small hex wrench which is provided. This is a nice feature that helps prevent theft of the mount since most thieves aren't walking around with a set of hex wrenches. The accompanying cradle opens to 4 inches which is wide enough for either phone models with or without a case or skin.
