ITV has agreed a new three-year deal to keep hit shows The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent on its channels.
The arrangement extends ITV's nine-year relationship with music mogul Simon Cowell until 2013.
Britain's Got Talent will return to ITV1 next spring and The X Factor in autumn 2011. ITV2 will continue to broadcast The Xtra Factor and Britain's Got More Talent.
As part of the renewed collaboration with Syco Entertainment and FremantleMedia, the broadcaster said it had also secured exclusive UK broadcast rights to the American version of The X Factor and America's Got Talent for ITV2.
Cowell said: "I am thrilled this deal has been concluded with ITV to enable our relationship to continue to develop. I am committed to making sure both shows get bigger and better every year.
"I have a lot to thank ITV for; they have been key in making The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent the UK's biggest television shows."
Peter Fincham, ITV Director of Television, added: "The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent are the shows that have helped define the last decade of television in the UK and have become more than just a talking point: they are a national obsession, and I'm delighted that our viewers can continue to enjoy them on ITV over the next three years."
The two programmes have proved popular in the ratings, with peak audiences of 19.3 million for last year's The X Factor final and 19.9 million for the Britain's Got Talent Final.
ITV said Sunday's second live results show of the seventh series of The X Factor peaked at 15.2 million.

Polyfuze graphic labels are different because their very construction is so distinctive.
Other labeling methods for olefin plastic are printed using stock, "off the shelf", ink. A clear coat is then applied over the top of the ink to protect it from exposure to harsh elements and weather conditions. Once everything is printed on a substrate, an attempt is made to get that substrate to "stick" onto the surface of olefin plastic.
By comparison, Polyfuze Graphic labeling technology for olefin plastic is custom made from pigmented polymer, which literally fuses into the part being labeled. Fusing two common materials together, means labeling with Polyfuze is truly permanent. We Guarantee It!

Here we are at the next to last episode of the season. Has it lived up to your expectation so far? Pop into our forums and let us know.
The penultimate episode starts with Stanley arriving at a dinner party for the departing Elsa. All the freaks are drinking and having fun in the main tent.
Elsa makes a toast to the new owner of the show, Chester, who is acting weird as usual with his dummy Marjorie. And then sends him away for the real purpose of the banquet.
When Chester leaves, attention turns to Stanley. In the last episode Elsa and the others found out that Stanley is not a talent agent who wants to make Elsa famous in Hollywood, but just a con artist who has been working with Maggie to kill freaks and sell their body parts to the American Morbidity Museum.
The freaks make ominous references to Tod Browning's 1932 film Freaks, which used real human oddities for its actors and was the obvious inspiration for this season. As they explain to Stanley, the film is about a freakshow where a conniving trapeze artist, Cleopatra, marries a dwarf and then poisons him in an attempt to inherit his money and run off with the circus strongman. When the freaks find out Cleopatra is punished, but Elsa cuts the freaks off before they explain how.
"Don't spoil the ending for him," Elsa says. Stanley says it sounds like a hit and they all laugh.
Desiree brings a large present for Stanley to the table. Now Stanley starts to get worried. Maggie says "you deserve this," which must set off alarm bells.
Stanley reluctant unwraps it. Inside is the preserved head of the dishonest director of the American Morbidity Museum, the one who has been buying Stanley's dead freaks. We get a flashback to Desiree murdering her in her office.
And now Stanley is screwed. He tries to talk his way out of it to no avail. The freaks lash him to Elsa's knife act wheel and she throws a few knives his way, missing expertly. They take him down and he keeps talking but Elsa won't listen. She throws a knife through his leg and tells him to run.
Stanley plays his last card, yelling that Elsa murdered Ethel the Bearded Lady. Elsa yells for him to run. The freaks chase him through the rainy carnival grounds in a scene similar to the climax of Freaks, finally catching up with him when he tries to hide under a caravan.
Elsa is hiding Jimmy the Lobster Boy in the barn that Stanley had been using to murder freaks. Jimmy is suffering without his lobster claws, with Stanley cut off to sell to the museum. He's also angry that his father Dell the Strongman is dead.
Elsa won't tell Jimmy that she killed him. She says "we all did." She reminds him that Dell murdered tiny, innocent Ma Petite but Jimmy doesn't seem to care and screams that Dell was his father.
Maggie is there with Elsa and Jimmy hurls abuse at her, says he doesn't forgive even though Maggie came clean to save other freaks. Elsa tells Jimmy he will let Maggie change his dirty bandages. Jimmy says he'd rather keep the dirty ones but Elsa insists. She also tells Jimmy she's found an old friend who can make Jimmy prosthetic hands.
Maggie is all apologies as she changes the bandages, which causes a lot of pain. She tells Jimmy she loves him and they can still run away to New York, but he's cold to her.
"My hands are in a goddamn jar, and that's all because of you," Jimmy says.
When she tries to say she's changed and will fix things, he asks her if she'll bring Ma Petite back to life and tells her she'd better get out of town before he gets his new hands.
"I'm gonna make things right. With them and with you," Maggie yells.
There's a quick scene where the carpenter who made Elsa's wooden legs arrives at the big tent and Elsa tenderly embraces him. There clearly was a strong bond between the two.
And then we see Bette, Dot and Chester having sex. The girls are on top. Marjorie the dummy is by the bedside, watching as lecherously as a piece of carved wood can. After some begging from the girls Chester knocks her to the floor.
In the next scene Marjorie, who switches in and out of her dummy form and the human form Chester sees her in, is really angry about the abuse. Being shut out of sex with Chester's wife Lucy and her lesbian lover Alice was Marjorie's hangup before, and that pair ended up dead.
Chester tries to argue that twins make him happy and will fix what's wrong with him, but Marjorie wins by reminding Chester he's not a regular man, he's a murderer.
Chester scolds Marjorie, reminds her that, as he perceives it, she killed Alice and Lucy.
"That's impossible. I'm a doll," Marjorie says.
And then we get a flashback to what really happened, Chester beating Alice and Lucy to death in their bed with a hammer.
The shock of this realization allows Marjorie to convince Chester to kill the twins. Or, I guess more accurately Chester's psychosis wins.
The freaks are playing cards in Ethel's caravan, discussing what Stanley said before they took care of him. They don't doubt that he was telling the truth about Elsa killing Ethel, and they make plans to deal with Elsa as well.
In their tent, Bette and Dot discuss how happy they are with Chester. But they get an unexpected visitor, pampered serial killer and part-time evil clown Dandy, who brings them the file his private investigator gathered on Chester.
"Chester Kreb is an absolutely beastly sicko," Dandy says, handing it over. If anyone should know from sickos, it's Dandy.
Obviously any info coming from Dandy is suspect and they don't believe him , but Dandy leaves the file. And some weird air kisses that make it clear he's still obsessed with them.
At the barn Elsa arrives with her friend, the carpenter Massimo. Jimmy whines, but he's convinced to let Massimo prepare him for the hands when Elsa shows him the nearly perfect wooden legs Massimo made for her.
Massimo loved Elsa, but explains why they didn't stay together. This involves a flashback to the German snuff film producers who cut off Elsa's legs for their film. It's revealed they were high ranking government officials and powerful people. When Elsa fled Germany before the war, Massimo felt like he couldn't follow without first hunting down the cabal.
He kills most of them but their leader is craftier and captures Massimo, then tortures him for months. It's implied he destroys Massimo's genitals in the process with electricity. Massimo survives because a higher-ranking official frees him because Massimo can make some really nice bookshelves.
Massimo returns to the states and finds Elsa, but she doesn't return his correspondence. Jimmy asks why, if he loved so much, he didn't come and sweep her off her feet.
"My body survived the torture. But, I'm like Pinocchio. I have no humanity left in me any more. No soul. I cannot love," Massimo says and leaves, noting that it's a "sweet irony" for a carpenter.
Chester is breaking down the new show with the freaks, considerably less sweet and kind than he was before. Dot and Bette have read the file, and from their telepathic conversation you can tell their worried.
When Chester comes around to his magic act he says he wants to change it around to where instead of a contortionist pretending to be an "audience member," he saws Dot and Bette in half. Dot and Bette then stand up and say they don't want to be his assistants any more.
Chester deals poorly with that. Trying to play peacemaker, Maggie agrees to be the assistant. Really bad move, especially for someone who had earlier in the season almost died thanks to Dandy's decidedly non-magical sawing a woman in half trick.
"Get in the box, Lucy," Chester says, seeing Maggie as his dead wife. Uh oh.
Chester sends the freaks backstage. The following sequence is a mix of Chester's hallucinations and what's really happening. He sees both Lucy and Alice and Marjorie in the box taunting him and imagines himself in full makeup as he does the trick. It's a little different from the usual way because he handcuffs Maggie's feet so she can't pull them up and pull herself into the safe section of the box.
And then he actually saws her in half. When he opens the box Maggie is split in half and her guts fall out. Marjorie laughs as Chester, covered in blood, tries to put Maggie back together. She runs out of the tent and he runs off after her.
So, of course, the freaks are shocked, but they make no move against Chester, and they don't mourn Maggie.
"She had it coming," Desiree says, and suggests they "steal her jewelry and bury the bitch."
Chester catches up with Marjorie in his caravan. He's angry about the murder, she says she's leaving, and Chester stabs her to death as she says "I loved you."
There's a flashback to 1946 and Jimmy's first appearance as a juggling act. He's so nervous he's throwing up, but his mother Ethel encourages him and he goes out on stage.
Present day Jimmy is visited by Amazon Eve, who tells him that Maggie is dead, which gets very little reaction. She tells him Elsa is next and he doesn't object.
Eve picks up a drawing showing the hands Massimo has planned for Jimmy, a complex and beautiful representation of the normal human hand. She says it looks like he gets a shot at normal life now.
Bette and Dot visit Elsa in her tent. She's angry because they see her putting on her legs, but Bette and Dot tell her she has to leave or she'll face a fate like Stanley's. That spooks her.
"But where will I go," she says dramatically. Bette tells her "Anywhere but here."
Elsa notes the irony on the twins saving her and Dot says "Now we're even."
So the freaks gather for their revenge on Elsa in Ethel's caravan. Desiree takes a drink in honor of Ethel and then breaks the bottle to use as a weapon. They head to Elsa's tent but she's gone, music still playing on the record player.
We see Ethel sitting in her car. Dandy gets in. He hands her a huge wad of cash and she gives him the deed to the freak show.
At the police station, Chester sadly strides in carrying a bloody bundle in his arms. He tells the cops he wants to report the murder of a "young lady" and sets the bundle down. They open it and we see that it's just a dummy. But Chester sees the human version of Marjorie. He asks the cops to send him "to the chair."
The next day the freak show is being taken down, but Dandy shows up with his deed. He tells the freaks he's their new owner and that Elsa is gone to "follow her dreams."
"Now I want to see what's mine," Dandy says, and heads into the main tent.
Paul the Illustrated Seal asks Dandy if it has always been his dream to be in show business. Dandy says it has and "now it's come true."
He sends Paul away to get a drink and then walks onto the stage. He blows kisses and gives a theatrical bow to the empty seats.
And then he hears a noise. In the back there's a small cage, filled with straw. Inside?
It's small creature. It's covered in blue fur. It has no arms or limbs and it's wearing a feathered hat. It can't really talk, it just grunts.
It's what's left of Stanley. The freaks took their cue from Tod Browning's movie. In that film Cleopatra was transformed into a chicken woman and they've done a very similar thing to Stanley. Good thing Elsa didn't let them spoil the ending.
Dandy is delighted to see this, of course.
You would think that would end the episode, but there's one more scene with Massimo giving Jimmy his hands. Jimmy calls them perfect and they look pretty normal, but when he holds them up you see that Jimmy opted for wooden recreations of his lobster claws.
"Thank you," Jimmy says. End of episode.

Make a resolution to go on safari
January 7, 2013
The start of the New Year is often the time when we reflect on the past and make plans for the future. It is also the time for making resolutions. This year we'd love it if your resolution was to come on safari with Bush and Beyond and here are 10 reasons why you should.
- The wildlife is the obvious place to start. The chance to see lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino plus giraffe, zebra, gazelles and so much more is the number one reason people go on safari. Our properties provide you with the chance to see all of these animals and so much more within the privacy of our private conservancies.
- Cultural interaction with the local communities that are all part of our Bush and Beyond family. You get a chance to meet, spend time with and learn from the Maasai and Samburu tribes in an authentic and in depth fashion.
- Our owners and managers who treat you like part of the family. At our properties we like to make you feel like you are visiting your favourite relatives who provide you with wonderful experiences, great meals, superb accommodations and no hassles.
- Amazing landscapes which you are able to experience and interact with. Our properties are found in some of the most amazing locations that you can possibly imagine – on the slopes of mountains, in the vast plains of the savannah, on scenic plateaus, on the green hills of Africa and within a park that borders as major city.
- The chance to be active and adventurous. Imagine riding amongst the zebra on horseback or striding out amongst the plains with your Maasai guide to explore the landscape. Or being on top of a camel as you return from a night spent camping by the river or soaring above the earth in a replica biplane. Or driving out under the stars to see what you can discover by spotlight. All of these activities and many more are part of the Bush and Beyond experience.
- A chance to reconnect with your family. There is something magical about being on safari with your family away from all the distractions of everyday life. The chance to experience new things with your children and learn together is one of the most powerful bonding moments and to be able to give the gift of travel is simply the best.
- The food. Yes, you might be in the bush and you may even be camping with no running water or electricity but you will still be experiencing fine dining and delicious cuisine. Imagine a made to order omelette with homemade cinnamon rolls or individual cheese soufflés followed by roast lamb with all the trimmings. Delectable tarts, pies, cakes and even ice cream will satisfy so sweet tooth as well. Our chefs are famous for their incredible creations.
- Experience one of the natural wonders of the world. The annual migration of the wildebeest from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara is considered one of the eight natural wonders of the world and you can witness it from 5 of our different properties. Picture being surrounding by hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and seeing them make their epic and dangerous river crossings.
- To have a romantic interlude with your partner. Imagine the two of you waking up together to the sounds of the birds singing and watching the sunrise from your verandah. Or sipping champagne under the stars in your own private bath. Or enjoying a private bush dinner for two with the wildlife and landscape spread out before you. Nothing is more romantic than a safari!
- Slow down. The best part of a safari is you get the chance to slow down and begin to move with the rhythms of the natural world. You get up with the sun and the birds, you rest in the heat of the day and you retire when the sun goes down feeling that you have put in a full day. You have time for meaningful conversations around the fire or table and you remember who you are and what your purpose in life is.
So forget about making a resolution to lose weight instead resolve to go on safari with Bush and Beyond in 2013. We look forward to seeing you.

On the morning of March 30th (my birthday) I got up just like any other Tuesday. It was a rough start to the day. I was working on some marketing stuff and expecting a package from UPS. At around noon I heard a few UPS like knocks on the door, only it was not a package, it was my friends Derrick and Andy from 2000 miles away. They weren't suppose to arrive for two more days. I had been played, badly. It was definitely the best birthday in a few years, no doubt. I finished up work, packed up, and that is where the video below picks up. I tried to get as much footage as possible. I'm by no means a video editing expert. I threw this together in a day and tried to get as creative as possible. I've only done a video like this once before. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Last week was my 21st birthday, which gave me a week of complete fun and partying. I needed it. My friends surprised me by showing up two days early. I'll be posting some pictures and you can friend me on facebook if you want to see the video I put together.
Aside from the crazy birthday week of non-stop glorious partying and fun, I've been reading a lot. Here are the books I'm reading and hope to review soon on this blog.

In German language called Emmentaler.
Let yourself be surprised. The premium emmental cheese from our Austrian alpine region will spoil you with its mildly, nutty & very fruity complex flavour. Discover with this emmental cheese outstanding alpine quality without a tone of acidity taste.
With the cheese speciality Emmentaler of our alpine dairy, you hold a particularly middle-spicy type of semi hard cheese in your hands. Thanks to the many years of experience of our cheesemakers and the manual care and maturation of the giant wheels, result is a gourmet product of the highest quality.
The giant wheels with about 80 kg and the typical large walnut-sized cheese holes give this semi-hard cheese its typical, external recognition image. During ripening, the big wheels are stored at 22 °C and turned frequently by hand. Only so the beautiful big emmental holes are being developed in the cheese dough and the sweetish, hearty, nutty aroma comes out.
Explanation for the large cheese holes: The natural fermentation (fermentation by the propionic acid bacteria which attach to the fat content of hay milk) produces carbonic acid gas, which collects in various places in the cheese dough – without being able to escape. These places form the famous holes in the cheese wheel.
According to the old cheese tradition, this fine cheese specialty is made from daily fresh hay milk and prepared following a special recipe, then lovingly cared for during the 10-week maturing period. Only then does he taste how spoiled palates like him.
While silage-free raw milk (so-called hay milk) has to be used in our alpine region in Vorarlberg, in other countries thermally treated (pasteurized) milk is also used for cheese production.
For one kilogram emmental cheese, arround twelve liters of fresh hey milk are needed.
The shape of the cheese holes can give an indication of the quality of the maturity. If the emmental holes are not round, but extremely oval and alternately very small or large, may indicate a faulty cheese ripening. Such a badly matured emmental cheese often tastes bitter or unpleasant
Cheese holes in emmental cheese
Typical for the emmental cheese are its large holes and its special aroma. The characteristic holes of the emmental cheese are formed during the ripening process.
The emmental cheese rind
The cheese rind is golden yellow – darker with increasing age. In cave-aged emmental cheese is dark brown to black and covered with a patina.
Storage and maturation of emmental cheese
The heavy emmental cheese wheels are made from hay raw milk are stored during maturation at 22 ° C – turned by hand frequently. This can take up to 18 months and longer. The longer the emmental cheese is stored, the stronger is its flavor.
Indulgence classification of artisan emmental cheese
The special feature of this semi-hard cheese is the special taste due to propionic acid fermentation. Bacteria ferment carbohydrates or lactic acid (lactate) into propionic acid, acetic acid and carbon dioxide.
Emmental cheese intensity (mild – spicy)
Emmental cheese consistency (soft – hard)

|How do you recognize the not optimal cheese maturation – lower cheese quality?
Proper storage of emmental cheese
If you want to store large pieces or a whole emmental cheese wheel more than 2-3 weeks, we recommend the use of a tea towel. To do this, take a clean tea towel, soak it in salted water (just add a little salt), squeeze it out and wrap the cheese with the damp cloth. Ideally, this process is repeated every 2-3 days.
If the cheese turns white or stains it is usually the salt or protein that crystallizes due to the temperature difference. These places are easy to rub off.
The use of aluminum foil is possible (but we advise against it) if it is supplemented with many small holes because of the air supply.

CHRISTIANSBURG, Va. (WDBJ) -- The town of Christiansburg is offering free credit monitoring to more than 900 people after their information was compromised in a phishing scam.
The scam targeted email accounts of three town employees which contained personally identifiable information from some members of the public, the town said in a news release. There is no evidence that any of the information has been misused.
"To reiterate, based on the Town's investigation, we are not aware of any activity that has impacted individuals as a result of this incident," Town Manager Randy Wingfield said in the release. "However, if scammers have plans to misuse that information, we wanted to act fast and be transparent throughout this process."
The town sent letters offering free credit monitoring to all 909 individuals who had information exposed in the breach. The credit monitoring "helps detect possible misuse of personal information and provides those individuals with identity protection support focused on immediate identification and resolution of identity theft," the town wrote in the news release.
The town is working with data privacy experts to fix the issue and strengthen its systems.
The town says only those who received letters were affected. However, if you want to be sure, you can call (877) 769-5558 and provide your name and date of birth.
For more information about this incident, visit the town's website at www.christiansburg.org/creditmonitoring.

The World Cup is not only football's biggest tournament, but it also serves as a shop window for players to impress onlooking clubs.
Liverpool's title challenge ultimately fell short as Manchester City stole in to take the crown in the final week of the season. Regardless of that late disappointment, Champions League football is finally returning to Anfield, and manager Brendan Rodgers will need to strengthen his squad if Liverpool are to compete domestically and in Europe.
There is bound to be a large transfer kitty at Rodgers' disposal this summer, and with the World Cup on the horizon, there will be a number of players catching his eye. Here are five players who will be playing in Group C that could be on Rodgers' radar this summer...
Juan Cuadrado, Colombia
Rodgers will look to add a winger this summer having failed to land the likes of Willian, Mohamed Salah and Yevhen Konoplyanka over the past 12 months. Fiorentina star Cuadrado has been dazzling defences throughout the season in Serie A, and his pace would add another dynamic threat to an already potent Liverpool attack.
Luis Muriel, Colombia
The potential absence of Falcao means that a number of Colombian strikers will be hoping to impress to make Jose Pekerman's side, and Udinese striker Muriel is one of them. A strong and pacey forward whose technique has earned comparisons to Brazilian legend Ronaldo, the 23-year-old could be the perfect foil for Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge, with Rodgers reportedly eyeing up a £17m swoop.
Wilfried Bony, Ivory Coast
If Rodgers wants to add something different to his attack, then he should look no further than Swansea City powerhouse Bony. Having arrived from Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem for a club-record £12m last summer, the 25-year-old repaid the Swans' faith by hitting 16 goals to keep Garry Monk's side in the Premier League. Expected to play as a backup to Didier Drogba this summer, Bony could play a key role for Sabri Lamouchi's men.
Konstantinos Mitroglou, Greece
He may have flopped with Fulham since his January move, but there is obvious talent with Mitroglou. The former Olympiacos striker hit 19 goals in 39 games before his switch to West London, but the 26-year-old struggled with form and fitness at Craven Cottage. A reported target for Rodgers earlier this season, Mitroglou could impress this summer and be given another Premier League chance behind Suarez and Sturridge.
Hiroshi Kiyotake, Japan
Rodgers has long been looking to add more attacking midfield help, and having seen Nuremberg relegated from the Bundesliga, Japanese international Kiyotake could be on his radar. A threat from long range and from set pieces, the 24-year-old playmaker would be the perfect cover for Philippe Coutinho - and given that Nuremberg went down, he could be had for a bargain price.

How to Book a Mover
There are many moving companies on the web including the Craigslist. The question is, whether you should hire a mover from Craigslist and how to identify if they are legit.
Craigslist Moving Companies
MoversCorp.com provides many free tools and calculators that make the moving process easier. Feel free to browse through our tools.
Moving Tools and Calculators
Do you know that you may hire movers through moverscorp.com to move furniture around your home or from room to room?
In-House Moving Services
Moving from one house to another can be stressful, tiring and time-consuming. Not only that, it can also be expensive if you've decided to hire professional movers to do the work for you. Fortunately, there's an ideal middle ground that lets homeowners save on professional moving expenses while at the same time making their move a little bit easier.
By renting a truck, you can create your own organizational system without worrying about the cost of moving labor. Simply choose a truck that works best for your specific needs and hire it for a short period of time. The question is how much exactly would this cost? Following are some pricing information you should know about when renting a truck.Size
The first thing to consider would be the size of the truck. How many items will you need to transport and how many trips are you hoping to make? A 10-foot truck would usually cost 19.95 for rental with the biggest trucks costing 39.5 measuring at 26 feet. Take into consideration the number of furniture and items you need to transport and how much space it would require in the truck. Note though that the cost of truck rental is just a base price. Additional costs may be incurred in the following.Mileage
Mileage cost is dependent on the location of the new home. Families moving just a few miles away will find truck rentals incredibly cheap since most companies charge a maximum of $2 per mile.Gas
Unfortunately, the cost of mileage is different from the cost of gassing up the truck. Typically, the rental company will provide you with a truck containing a full tank of gas. The agreement is that you will return the vehicle with a full tank as well, which means you have to pay for the gasoline. If you fail to do this, the rental company will charge you for the cost of refilling the truck.Insurance
Insurance is optional but is a very good idea if you happen to be moving farther away. Road accidents are not unheard of and homeowners can rest easier knowing that they are protected against any possible damages. The cost of insurance premium varies depending on the rental company and the kind of protection you want to avail of. For example, you can get liability insurance or opt for a full coverage.Taxes and More
Rental tax varies depending on the rental company and the state that you're in. At most, you'll be charged 10% of the cost for tax purpose. The company may also add other fees or provide you with the option of additional services at an added cost.
Typically, renting a truck would cost you a minimum of $150. To save on moving costs, it's advisable for families to choose a truck that can carry all their items in one trip. This way, the mileage costs wouldn't shoot through the roof. If you're fairly confident about the safety of travel, it's also possible to skip the insurance. Make sure to ask the rental company about their policies prior to going through with the rent.

I have written about Lilah B on the blog before and raved about their glow giving magic. This time I wanted to share a different look, more suitable to the current Autumn/Winter season. I'm going to touch on two of the previous products I've mentioned but focus more on the newbies to my collection which were kindly gifted to me by Mecca Cosmetica. New to my collection are the Lilah B. Divine Duo Lip & Cheek in b.memorable and Lilah B. Palette Perfection Eye Quad in b.stunning.
The most striking thing to me with this brand is the packaging, but the quality doesn't stop there. I am still really loving the Lilah B. Sun Kissed Bronzer, as you can see by the sizeable dent compared to my previous photo of it. It has an amazing way of making my skin look diffused and I really like the dual shades that are silky smooth and easy to blend. Although I use the Lilah B. Glisten & Glow Skin Illuminator less frequently I feel like its beaming light is perfect all year round.
The Palette Perfection Eye Quad is similar in texture to the bronzer in that it's super soft and really easy to blend, especially for a klutz like me. The b.stunning palette is classified by Lilah B as Nude, and the shades are right up my alley. They are warm, flattering to blue eyes and easy to mix and match. I love the lightest shade all over the eyelid and on the brow bone, whilst the other shades all blend beautifully any which way to create a soft and natural look.
Always a fan of the multi-tasking product, I took to the Divine Duo Lip & Cheek like a fish to water. Packaged in a mini sized white pebble, it's a creamy formulation designed to be used, you guessed it, on the lips and cheeks. I own a lot of lip products but this formula is quite unique, and I can't quite put my finger on it. Speaking of fingers, I don't even mind using my fingers to apply it because the formula is not too creamy so it doesn't make a big mess. I haven't experienced any dry lips while using this and I feel like it just gives me a lovely wine stain. I come across so many products that claim to be for lips and cheeks but this is one of the few that actually performs both duties well!
In my photos below I've shown you a day time and night time look using the Palette Perfection Eye Quad in b.stunning and the Divine Duo Lip & Cheek in b.memorable. For the day look I used the two lightest shades on my eyes, a light stain of the lip colour and a little bit on my cheeks as well.
For the night time look I've blended in the darker shades into my crease, lined my lower lash line with the darkest shade and made the lip a little bolder. I really like how this makeup look is still undone and minimalist at first glance. I'm such a big fan of the Lilah B's less is more ethos.
Are you a fan of these looks? Let me know in the comments below or email me and connect with me on Instagram. To listen to the latest Fluke podcast, please visit iTunes.

Cybil Bennett is a fictional character from the Silent Hill film and is portrayed by Laurie Holden.
Cybil Bennett is considered to be a hero to the people of the town of Brahams for rescuing a young boy who had been dropped down a mine vent in neighboring Silent Hill three years before the events of the movie. Cybil's mother dies when she is only thirteen, leading Cybil to denounce all religion due to the painful circumstances of her mom's death. She is an outsider and doesn't have many friends, but she believes strongly in her duty as a police officer. Cybil has a strong love of children.
Silent HillEdit
Cybil first meets Rose Da Silva when she pulls into the parking lot of a local gas station. She becomes suspicious of Rose when Rose's daughter, Sharon, begins to cry loudly about a set of macabre drawings in her notebook. Cybil attempts to ask Sharon if everything is alright, but Sharon tells her she doesn't talk to strangers and rolls the car window up. As Rose and Sharon leave the gas station, Cybil copies Rose's license pad in her notepad.
Later, Cybil stops Rose on the way to Silent Hill, but the distraught mother speeds home, leading Cybil in a high speed pursuit. Cybil's motorcycle is crashed when Rose swerves suddenly to avoid a little girl who has stepped into the road ahead of her speeding car. The crash knocks Cybil unconscious for several hours.
When she comes to, she finds Rose and arrests her when Rose tells her Sharon has gone missing. Cybil appears to suspect Rose has done something with Sharon, and she handcuffs her and tries to lead her out of town. Cybil and Rose are then attacked by the Armless Man, whom Cybil shoots after it sprays her with acid.
Rose runs off and Cybil finds her in the Dark World version of the school, where the two women fight against the darkness together. Cybil and Rose later go to the town's hotel, and then to a church; finally ending up in a hospital. In the hospital, a priestess of the town cult named Christabella condemns Rose and Cybil as witches after she discovers that Sharon is identical to Alessa Gillespie. Cybil helps Rose to escape and then confronts the cultists, only to be captured and beaten. Cybil is then taken to the church and tied onto a ladder, before being burned alive as a witch.

General Tips On Adding Value To Content
General Tips on Adding Value
Remember your own viewing habits. What makes you click on a video? What makes you binge watch? What makes you subscribe? Don't make content in complete isolation, ignoring what you would actually do as a viewer. If you wouldn't pay for your own content, don't expect others to value it higher.
Don't rely on the base topic to provide value. This is most evident for gaming channels. The game itself isn't that interesting – we can already play the game ourselves. It's the person behind the game that adds value. For some, it's informative commentary that helps others play the game better. For others, it's the entertainment value of watching someone fail. For streamers, it's the interactivity. In general, videos about the game have more value than just straight-out playing the game.
This is more clearly seen in videos covering TV shows and movies. Obviously, you can't just show the movie, but it's usually fascinating to listen to people talk about the movie and everything that goes with it. I don't watch Star Trek, but I've learned a lot more about starships than I imagined. Watching gameplay is almost the same as watching an episode of a TV show. Either I've already seen it, or I'm not interested in watching it.
Consistency is the key. You hear this a lot, but see this in the frame of value and you'll appreciate why consistency and locking down on a niche is crucial for building a following. I will subscribe not for one good video, but the likelihood that all subsequent videos will give me the same value. Your subscribers are return customers. If I know that your channel is going to cover a topic I'm interested in with a guaranteed level of depth and relevance, I'm sold.
Give people a reason to keep on coming back. Open dialogue and interaction, ask questions, and give some insight and previews to what you might be doing next. Use the chance to push content that you also think is valuable – either your own or someone else's. You're a salesperson trying to make a sale.
Don't forget that value applies to you as a creator as well. If it takes 8 hours to make a 10 minute video that no one finds interesting, is it really worth your time? Could you make a simpler video in less time? Just as businesses will cut costs, you will need to consider whether to downsize or change your operations. Remember this when you are advertising your content, either by linking it on reddit, sharing it to your Facebook friends, or buying ads. If the viewer does not perceive value, no amount of promotion will make them watch you, just as no amount of annoying telemarketing will get you to sign up to this new energy company.
Video length is a big factor in perceived value. If someone has a 10 minute break, they could watch two 5-minute videos, which feels like double the value, compared to a single 10-minute video. Similarly, as videos approach 15 to 20 minutes, the expectations rise, ultimately becoming exponential. 30 minutes is equivalent to sitting through a short film, and by the 1 hour mark (check: long let's plays and livestreams), this is like sitting through a lecture.
Don't be afraid to lure potential viewers in with short videos. Think of these as "loss leaders". They're probably not as good as your regular content, but it's a smaller investment for the viewer. When they are pleased with the value they are getting, they will be more inclined to watch more videos from you.
The reason why meme images spread so easily is because as a still image, there is zero time investment for maximum value. Animated gifs are close behind. Videos are a big step. It's not uncommon for Facebook pages to post condensed previews of their shows or screenshots as free "tasters" to entice people to watch their video on YouTube.
Edit: Here's a thought exercise: imagine some bigshot executive is offering a million dollars to host your YT channel. What can you pitch to the executive that proves that you are worthy?
Your channel is your business card. You should be able to show it and share it at every possible opportunity with conviction. –Reddit

Be Joyful
Photo by Daniel Krucoff
Isn't this stone beautiful? It is an Ocean Picture Jasper that I purchased from Gary B Wilson last year. The colors are not part of my normal color palette, yet it was very hard for me to resist. Part of what drew me to this stone was the beautiful landscape I saw in the stone; softly muted….yet, the closer I looked at it, I saw high, fluffy white clouds, a distant mountain range with a calm lake and sandy shore line. A very serene and tranquil setting.
Set in sterling silver, I kept the design very simple to showcase the stone. The outline of the mountains is replicated at the top of the setting. To add to the depth of the mountain outline, I have a copper overlay on the back of the piece. I couldn't have asked for a better patina result as it became a deep purple, navy blue…perfect for giving the impression of a sky. To preserve the patina, this time I applied a light matte lacquer (prior to setting the stone), rather than using Renaissance Wax.
This pendant is another one in my series of experiments. I am finding such joy in trying a tweak here and there, gently nudging myself in another direction that I may just put all of these in a series called Be Joyful. Yes, I know, a series should have like elements and show a particular pattern. But why not be different and go on the emotion they generate? I've never been one who colored inside the lines, so why stick with the traditional thoughts about a series? Just my take on the series subject.
I hope all of you are enjoying this wonderful day and finding ways to experiment and explore your creativity!
Until next time, aspire to be more as an artist and a person.

Happy New Year! 2011's Most Commented News!
10. Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance Trailer
Jumping January! Just a day over a week after Re:Coded was released in North America, the first Dream Drop Distance trailer falls into our hands before its official public showing. Unfortunately, the video has since been removed, but from memory, I recall seeing Sora in a lot of pole-to-pole leaping action, rooftop ricocheting, and revisits to Traverse Town. The trailer was bursting to the seams in colour, and we all held our breath, wondering what in the world we just witnessed. At the end of the day, we agreed that the gameplay looked positively insane.
Winning comment: "Kingdom Hearts meets Inception." (Anixe)
9. KH BBS: Final Mix-Secret Episode Images
Kingdom Hearts news for January was coming at us fast and furious. Japan's Jump magazine was all over the new screenshots. The magazine described Aqua as the heroine for the secret episode in BBS' Final Mix and her ventures into the Realm of Darkness. There are also images of our other BBS heros: Terra and Ven, both of whom looked like they had seen better days. This is where it's finally becoming apparent on the role Castle Oblivion plays and of Terra's descent into oblivion as his identity is taken over by Master Xehanort.
8. KH BBS Final Mix Secret Ending & Mystery Game Revealed! (KH: Birth By Sleep – Volume 2)
It has happened again! We had a fabulous run with Birth by Sleep and it was lauded with the highest praise in the PSP world. Naturally, for such a contingent game, a Final Mix was baked and ready to go in Japan. As we all know and berate, Final Mixes never see the light of day in terms of an official release outside of Japan, but as we also know and welcome, the magic of Youtube works beyond such geographical boundaries. In no time at all, the secret ending was revealed to our hungry eyes. From past experiences, we know that secret endings are not endings at all, but a peek into the foray of the next game. In a few tantalizing moments, we find out that BBS Volume 2 could be in the works. There were no more official statements released about Volume 2, but it didn't take a genius to figure out that Aqua will play a leading role in this game.
Winning comment: "…just like the end of 358/2 Days helped us get RIGHT to the beginning of KH2, and the way Dream Drop Distance will lead us into KH3." (Brady O'Neill)
7. No Kingdom Hearts Games at E3 2011
Moping May…The year was not all secret movies, game releases, sugar and rainbow. Our lead writer, Churro, was at E3 to confirm the fact that there was no KH at E3, after combing through the Square Enix section and interviewing Square Enix staff. We never got an explanation why this came to be, but it was presumably because they didn't have enough material for KH3D to show it at E3. It was a save-the-best-for-last strategy. We didn't have many winning comments in this article—most of us just ripped Nomura apart and called him names. KHSoraKeyblade, on the other hand, had this poignant calming thought to share…
Winning comment: "…you know they still haven't even properly announced BbS Vol. 2 as a game so yeah…" (KHSoraKeyblade).
6. Nomura Interview From Famitsu: Talks KH3D & KHIII
Jolly July! Hey hey Nomura! It's been awhile since we heard you quoted! Good old Famitsu was able to wring out a few comments from this famous but sometimes maddening director. So what did we find out about him at this point in the year and how many of these things have turned out truer than true?
- Kingdom Hearts 3D is a mysterious title. Gee, tell us something we wouldn't have guessed.
- There will be answers about Kingdom Hearts III. True. We know that Sora and Riku will probably become Keyblade Masters in time for KHIII.
- Explores the hidden data inside Sora. This is still not well-explained yet. Sora and Riku sure don't look as seasoned as they did n KHII, which you could perhaps count as a hint towards this cryptic comment.
- Sora has not changed. He clearly looks younger though. Stop being cryptic, Nomura.
- Traverse Town to feature two mysterious characters in which Nomura didn't reveal. Welcome, Neku Sakuraba and co.
- For gameplay aspects, you can work your way up to rooftops. We could do this in KHI too (after learning Glide and High Jump), but it looks like Sora and Riku will be endowed with this ability from the start of the game. Beautiful.
What's interesting about the thread of comments hereafter is that our commentators were more enraptured by the speculations on KHIII rather than KH3D.
Worthy comments: "Wonder what Nomura has in store for the next Saga." (Jerold); "Xehanort isn't the only big bad guy around." (Ashely Welsh)
5. KH3D Playable Demo at TGS + "HD Test"
Amplifying August. Maybe as a small sacrifice to not appear at E3 2011, Nomura and team was determined to make milestones in KH3D's development. This milestone was Tokyo Game Show 2011. Not only was a demo promised, Nomura was cited to be strongly considering re-releasing previous KH titles in high definition! Our thread exploded with comments about they would like to see as HD remakes. Nothing has been specified, but we all agree that this will be a monumental way of marking KH's 10th anniversary.
Worthy comments: "The main thing that I would want to come out of the HD Remakes of KH1 and 2 is for there to be a "Theater Mode" like the rest of the KH series in the rest of the games." (FireBlazer); "I would really like the HD remakes to have a boss mode, where you can re-do boss battles. Some of my favorite parts of KH2 were the boss battles." (Blizzard)
4. Neku Sakuraba in Kingdom Hearts 3D & More TGS
Stunned September. For fans of both World Ends With You and Kingdom Hearts—the meeting of the 2 main characters is like a wild dream come true. KH3D was indeed playable as a demo at Tokyo Game Show, and accompanying this news piece, we also obtained new images: one of them being Neku showing his branded timer countdown to Sora, strongly hinting the role of the Reaper's Game in KH3D; the other images showed us a clearer look to the new Sora and Riku. Or old Sora and Riku. Our 2 keyblade wielders have cut their hair and changed their clothes and we're not sure why yet.
Worthy comments: "None of you say a word. I'm getting this game. Well I would, but I don't have a 3DS…Well I'm getting a 3DS now. " (Jack Mowat); "What happened to Riku's hair? Riku's long beautiful hair." (Mochiusagi)
3. Pinocchio World in Kingdom Hearts 3D
Novel November. Pinocchio and Gepetto are back! Probably as a means to repair our disappointment at what happened to the last Pinocchio world we played in, Pinocchio is making a comeback in a brand new world called Prankster's Paradise. Jiminy is making an appearance too as Pinocchio's trusted advisor and friend. There are a lot of questions about how Pinocchio and co would be canon in KH3D, especially given Jiminy's role in previous games, and also given that Pinocchio already turned into a boy as the credits rolled in KHI. We'll leave that for Nomura to decide. So what else is worth cheering for? Well, our friends will not just be wandering the depths of an odd space whale; this time, they'll be in a circus INSIDE the whale. Take that, KHI Monstro.
Worthy comments: "Personally, I want more Square Enix characters to appear (especially Lightning & Crew, or Vaan & Penelo)." (Irfansyahm); "I thought they said all new Disney worlds and it is not inside Monstro." (Kelvin Eget)
2. Three Musketeers World in KH3D
DDD December. Nomura is keeping his promise on delivering new worlds! Here is the next big world reveal: The Three Musketeers! It doesn't matter that the straight-to-DVD movie received embarrassingly low reviews, because one of the best things about KH is that KH adapts the movie to its own context. They keep what they can use and throw out the rest. Ever since KHII, we haven't had a chance to partner up in real-time with Donald and Goofy, so it's so nice to fight alongside these trust-worthy sidekicks once more.
Worthy comment: "Wow…Now we are talking, Square. This is what we want. New worlds. I know Mickey, Donald and Goofy were seen already, but this could prove as interesting as Timeless River." (Peter)
1. KH3D Jump Festa 2012 Coverage
Duuuuudddde…December rocks! The new trailer revealed during Jump Festa was one of the best 8 minutes of my life. It's hard to describe that feeling as your mind races to try to digest everything that flashed by during the trailer. A few weeks back, we were shown some dialogue between Sora and Neku, but Nomura mercilessly added the whole rest of the main cast from World Ends With You; with Shiki meeting Riku, to boot. Character reappearances include Maleficient and Pete, with Maleficient saying something about Master Xehanort that's particularly tantalizing. Continuing to roll on with new worlds, we find the world of Tron making a welcome comeback. I received a shock to see Axel, Ienzo, and Eleaus…are they a part of a flashback or what? Nobody knows. Then, as the icing on top of the trailer cake, Terranort appeared in front of Sora and Riku (on separate occasions, it seems), and Vanitas shows a positively scary expression. The whole translation is right here, alongside translated impressions of the game:
Worthy comment: "Daft Punk's Tron: Legacy + Kingdom Hearts? Yes. Please." (Brady)

Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for friends, family, health, happiness, and the planet, too! In addition to checking out Ember LED's blog posts on the sustainable solar technology, read on to learn how you can be green this Thanksgiving!
As we look to more environmentally sustainable ways to travel, such as electric cars and the Hyperloop, solar LED lighting options are becoming an attractive possibility for railway and transit stations. And because trains often run in remote locations that can be challenging to light, Ember LED's eSHINE solar LED and vSHINE LED series can be ideal for such applications. Our fixtures are powerful, weather resistant and maintenance free, offering the best performance in all railroad locations including stations, switches, warehouses, and more. Read on to learn about where solar panels can be placed on railroad and train sites.
2. The application is off-grid.
The bulk of lighting installation costs comes from the digging, trenching and wiring that must occur to wire electric to a new site. When you install solar lighting, all of those costs are eliminated. Instead of paying thousands of dollars to contractors and electrical engineers with the hopes of wiring electric to your site, go the solar route. Instead of jumping through hoops and wires, off-grid solar lighting can be easily installed in a matter of hours. For example, Ember LED's eSHINE series comes with eSHINE poles: our all inclusive battery and solar lighting system that comes at 6ft., 10 ft., 15 ft., 20 ft., 25 ft. and 30 ft. levels.
3. Your business is suffering from high energy bills.
You've heard it before: Solar lighting will save you money on the long-term. Not only will solar lighting make your business more attractive to buyers, tax incentives are available statewide to those who choose to "go green" and light their business using solar powered energy. Not to mention, any energy that you do not use for your business that is connected to the grid is given back to the city, which places extra money directly in your pocket. Isn't that awesome?
4. Because green is the new black.
Solar lighting is green, renewable AND cool. As climate change continues to dominate the news and people are looking for more ways to be sustainable, lighting agents and businesses that jump on the socially responsible bandwagon are likely to receive positive feedback from their customers, clients and employees.

On February 9, 2018, the verdict of the Zia Orphanage Trust case involving Khaleda Zia came out in Bangladesh. Khaleda Zia has been both an opposition leader and the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. The renowned Zia Orphanage corruption case involves an orphanage which was premised in 2001-2006.
The verdict
Khaleda Zia, along with her elder son and four others, was charged with misappropriating $248,154 from the trust. The Zia Orphanage Trust Case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) of Bangladesh has resulted in the removal of Khaleda Zia from Bangladesh politics. The case was filed back in 2008, during the regime of the Caretaker Government. The Special Court has sentenced Khaleda Zia to suffer imprisonment of five years and the five co-accused, namely Tarique Rahman, Dr Kamal Uddin Siddiqui, Kazi Salimul Haque, Mominur Rahman, and Sharfuddin Ahmed, have been ordered to undergo ten years of imprisonment. The verdict was delivered in a closed courtroom in the middle of tight security. Mohammad Akhteruzzaman, the special court judge said, "She was given a shorter term considering her health and social status." "Since the court has been able to prove the charges against her and considering her social and physical status, Zia has been sentenced to five years in jail in section 409 and 109 of the penal codes," he added.
On the day of the verdict, the authorities were ordered to stay on high alert amid the threats of protests that might emerge as a result of the verdict. This was also insisted upon keeping in mind the repercussion that the state faced during 2014 and 2015 demonstrations, which led to arrest of approximately 2500 opposition members. Khaleda Zia was shifted to the central jail with high-end security from the court. The major political parties, along with the supporters of Khaleda, poured into the streets ahead of the verdict. Anisul Huq, the former Law Minister said, "The verdict proves that Bangladesh is not a criminals' haven which was the case during the BNP regime." He added, Khaleda's conviction "proves that Bangladesh has the rule of law and that no one is above the law." Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim said, "Khaleda Zia cannot be above the law. Our constitution says all citizens are equal before the law, and today's verdict proved it once again." Khalida Zia's verdict gained worldwide headlines within hours of its pronouncement. "Bangladesh ex-PM Khaleda Zia guilty of corruption" published the BBC. Also, Al Jazeera published it as 'Khaleda Zia jailed for five years in corruption case'. Furthermore, the verdict found its mention in all national and international newspaper agencies including AFP, AP, Xinhua, Hindustan Times and NDTV, and so on. #KhaledaZia and #ZiaOrphanageTrust were trending on social media.
Political repercussions of Zia's imprisonment
Khaleda Zia undertook the position of Vice Chairperson for the BNP on March 1983, after the demise of her husband. Subsequently, she was chosen and declared the chairperson of the party on May 10, 1984, the position she held till a few days back. The conviction of Khaleda Zia has not only thrown her out of the leadership of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) but also, has made her incompetent to contest the upcoming elections in December if her conviction is not stayed by the higher judiciary. The constitution of Bangladesh debars any individual who has been sentenced to the jail term of two or more years or has disobeyed the ethical or moral misconduct from contesting parliamentary elections. The verdict has changed the entire game in the politics of Bangladesh. Her conviction might be problematic in holding credible election ahead. The analysts are forecasting her verdict as a major factor for gaining public sympathy in the upcoming elections. The civilians in Bangladesh are highly worried about the political dilemma this pronouncement will cause to them.
Prior to Khaleda Zia's conviction, Gayeshwar Chandra Roy, a senior member of BNP expressed his fear of very "bad" consequences if the verdict is pronounced against the party leader. "I think the foundation stone for the fall of the AL-led government will be laid if any negative verdict is pronounced by the court at the behest of the government on February 8," he said. The common man is scared of the complications this judgment will cause on democracy of the country and how steadily it will wipe away the hope of a good election. This might result in a one-party rule.
Opposition cries foul after verdict announcement
The answer as to whether the sentencing was a just and fair one remains disputable. The Bangladesh judiciary received an ample number of applications demanding "fair trial" for the ex-prime minister Khaleda Zia. "We are aware of the conviction of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leader Khaleda Zia, and encourage Bangladesh to the guarantee of a fair trial," said U.S. spokesperson. Mahbubey Alam, the attorney general of Bangladesh said, "There is no pressure from the government to give the verdict at the beginning of an election year. In fact, it is the BNP that has been dragging the case for nearly a decade. The high court, failing to find merit in the petitions, eventually cleared the way for the lower court to continue the trial proceedings," he said. Khandker Mahbub Hossain, the leader of the ex-Prime Minister's legal team claimed, "We didn't get justice. We'll go to the higher court." Khaleda Zia and her party members claim this pronouncement to be a plot played against the leader and her family for political gains.
The aftermath of the conviction
Given the pronouncement, Khaleda Zia and her political party's status in Bangladesh remains undecided for the near future. The verdict has resulted in the wide-scale advancement of the political arena and intensified the prevailing mistrust of civilians in the political parties. This apprehension of instability and mistrust might further complicate the politics in Bangladesh affecting varied national party's leadership and politics. "This verdict will deepen the country's existing political crisis and will damage people's faith in the judiciary," said Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, Secretary General of the BNP. The upcoming elections may come accompanied with great chaos and criticism nationwide.

Everyone has Angels, and in over 17 years of sharing the Angels' messages with thousands of people, I have never met anyone who did not have a least two guardian Angels working to help guide them on their path. As we do have free will, it is important that we ask our Angels for help and guidance.

French Country Kitchen On A Finances
A kitchen is a place where people prepare meals and prepare dinner, it's sometimes use for eating and entertaining guest. You're going to get remodeling kitchen designs to go together with the quantity of area that you've. I like farmhouse type kitchens, however an important facet of any kitchen is that it really works for cooking. In order to save house, it is convenient to create an eating space in the kitchen with small sized desk and chairs that may be tucked into a corner anytime.
She doesn't need a broom or a wire whisk to ride on. I fell in love with this apple head kitchen witch standing on the shelf of a specialty store and had to have it. Unfortunately dried fruits, like this apple head doll will continue to shrivel up and darken after being uncovered to light after many years.
Youcopia Tremendous Spicestack 27-bottle Spice Organizer is a great way to add vertical storage space and preserve all these bottles of herbs and spices from rolling around and getting misplaced at the back of the cabinet where you'll be able to't see or simply get to them.
If the cupboards themselves are easy to remove, take them down as well. Think about a cupboard doing triple responsibility – including architectural particulars, including a number of types of storage and added visible peak to the room. Many kitchen wall cabinets are shipped with the shelves in place.
Great format for smaller kitchens and allows you to fit extra in a relatively narrow house. State-of-the-art food storage and fresh herbs on the window sill are straightforward, inexpensive methods to include this trend into your kitchen.

Earl Hayes, wife Stephanie Moseley dead in apparent murder-suicide
On Dec. 8, the Los Angeles Police Department was called to the Park La Brea area to investigate an apparent murder-suicide. According to an LAPD news release, the cops arrived to find two victims in an apartment, both having suffered gunshot wounds.
According to the release, "The initial investigation revealed that 34-year-old Earl Warren Hayes shot his wife, 30-year-old Stephanie Elyse Moseley to death and then took his own life." Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Hayes, a rapper, has been associated with boxer Floyd Mayweather, and according to a report from TMZ, Mayweather claims he might've witnessed the murder-suicide via FaceTime. Hayes reportedly called Mayweather when he thought Moseley was cheating on him.
Moseley, an actress, most recently starred in VH1's Hit the Floor.

Qld ecosystems mapped and online in world-leading science achievement
Queensland Government scientists have developed the first fully-comprehensive map and information systems for the state's regional ecosystems, providing a detailed picture of our diverse native vegetation.
Minister for Innovation, Science and the Digital Economy Leeanne Enoch said today (Tuesday) the Queensland regional ecosystem information, classification and mapping program was a huge scientific accomplishment.
Ms Enoch said this latest version of the regional ecosystems mapping program was the first version to cover the entire state.
"Queensland is a massive state, covering 1.73 million square kilometres. We are five times the size of Germany and greater in area than all but 17 countries in the world," she said.
"The state encompasses a wide variety of landscapes, from temperate to tropical to arid zones. Across all these, we have 13 bioregions representing a diverse range of vegetation types, from arid grasslands to coastal heathlands and dry sclerophyll forests to tropical rainforests.
"Within each bioregion there can be a hundred or more regional ecosystem types – so the task of surveying and mapping all this is very complex."
Ms Enoch said the program included both mapping of pre-clearing regional ecosystems and remnant ecosystems present in 2015 for Queensland's 1461 regional ecosystems.
"These regional ecosystem maps have been released about every two years since the late 1990s," she said. "The first version covered about 40 per cent of the state.
"As work progressed, each update increased coverage across the state, incorporating improvements to mapping and regional ecosystem classification, and documenting changes to remnant native regional ecosystems caused by vegetation clearing."
Scientists from the Queensland Herbarium have delivered the program over the past 20 years. More than two million kilometres of roads and remote tracks have been traversed throughout all corners of the state and detailed vegetation data collected from more than 30,000 representative sites.
"This long-term comprehensive program has been delivered through the innovative and efficient use of technology and the scientific skills of very capable and talented staff," Ms Enoch said.
"In addition, many parties have supported the mapping, including local government, regional natural resource management bodies and Commonwealth departments."
Environment Minister Steven Miles said accurate mapping was vital for protecting koalas and other native wildlife.
"Many of our native species need are very specific habitats and that's why land clearing can be so devastating, leading some species closer to extinction," Mr Miles said.
"Accurate mapping of our changing landscape makes it easier to avoid some of the impacts of clearing, for example, by preserving wildlife corridors between similar habitats.
"The Palaszczuk Government remains committed to reducing land clearing."
Ecologist Dr Steve Murphy said regional ecosystem mapping has been hugely valuable in efforts to protect and research one of Australia's most endangered birds, the night parrot.
"A fundamental aspect of our research program has been to identify and describe night parrot habitats. Queensland regional ecosystems mapping is the main tool we use to define habitats at a regional level in western Queensland, where the elusive bird is found," Dr Murphy said.
The program is available online and widely used by business, government, research institutions, conservation organisations and land holders.

Well I finally bit the bullet, and migrated away from the old CMS system I was using.
You probably won't find this to be too much different, but there are some minor changes.
Most importantly, a handful of users accounts have not migrated properly. I noticed 'jubjub' as one of those users. If you are having problems logging in.. please let me know.
I'd appreciate other feedback on the site too, so click on the 'contact' link up the top.
I haven't added Private Messaging (yet) and video and audio sections will be coming back online in the next week or so.
