Kim did a beautiful job on my hair cut.
IAM new in town and darlynn did an amazing job on my nails they were pretty damaged but she helped them looked lots better
Chasity does my lashes and she is absolutely AMAZING! I would never go anywhere else. Christi did a fabulous job on my mani-pedi! I have also had Kim do my hair and she was phenomenal. The owner obviously knows how to hire staff because I have nothing but positive things to say about Glo Beauty Lounge!
I am from out of state, but like Carly so much that I try to schedule h/c appointments with her when I am visiting in Stillwater. She gives a great cut and good advice for someone with semi-curly hair.
Kim always does the best job with My Hair!!
I got a walk in. Kim did such a quick and nice job. I got my hair highlighted and trimmed for a great price. She is very nice and has great skills. I'm so glad I got my hair done there.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I always have an awesome experience! From microblading to Henna tattoos, Darlynn always does a superb job.
Adorable place, and great service! Go check it out!
Darlynn is my go to person when it comes to spray tans. She does an amazing job and is a perfectionist. The product she uses is so even and my skin looks like I just spent a week in the sun without the skin damage👍 A bonus is the color stays for a week if not more. If I could give more stars I would🤩🤩🤩
Wow! Blown away by how awesome this salon is! Darlynn and Kim are two amazing Gals! Champagne 🥂 while your hair is coloring...what? Seriously, Kim did such a fantastic job on my hair I was just at a loss for words! So cute! They are friendly, and fun, and I felt right at home on my first day there. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND KIMBERLY FOR COLOR AND CUT!! Amazing! Does exactly what you ask for. I will shout it from the roof tops!! Oh get Bayalage done, she does fantastic work!
I've been seeing Darlynn for years. She started by doing my nails about 20 years ago and recently I had eyeliner tattooed on and eye brows microbladed. She is very careful and goes slow to be precise. I trust her and would recommend her to friends and family.
My son bought me a gift certificate from Mary and said I had to schedule with her cuz she was so nice. I had a facial with Mary that led to eyebrows with Darlynn then eyeliner and back to Mary for eyelashes. Best investment ever!! Made going to Greece a lot easier. Permanent makeup is awesome!! The girls were great.
Mary is the best! The facial I had was so relaxing and I fell asleep. I also had a very quick, as painless as could be expected bikini wax. Highly recommend Mary.
Darlynn is amazing! No one is as experienced, talented or friendly as her. The salon itself is very cute and all the ladies that work there seem friendly and welcoming. They offer lots of services like eyelash/brow tint/eyelash extensions, microblading and even henna! I'm excited to go back and try these services. Definitely everything a classy salon should be.
Yes, my family and friends tell me I'm a spa snob. Can't help it. I expect places I go to get personal services to be clean and efficient, sure, but I want a great experience AND results. I'm a Camas mom who recently moved to Washougal and I usually go into Portland for reliable beauty services. So many local establishments just don't understand high touch, great service. But I decided to take a chance and try Glo Beauty Lounge based on reviews and proximity for a gals celebration, and I'm SO GLAD I did! Owner, Darlynn, went above and beyond to schedule my group of 4. Facials, pedicures, manicures, henna tattoos, everything we experienced was done with great expertise, professionalism, friendliness. The environment was clean and beautiful, we loved the complimentary bubbly. Since that experience I've been back for all my waxing services and nail needs. I even finally got my eyebrows done (microblading), and I loved the dermaplane facial recently. I'm so glad to find a one-stop place that I can do all my beauty treatments. Will be scheduling spray tan and lashes soon. Seems every time I'm in there, they have such happy clients with great results I just can't resist. So glad to find a convenient, LOCAL place that deals with my snobby expectations. Oh, and they are NOT as expensive as Portland places, so I just have more $ to spend on other local places too.
Awesome French tips love darlynn did a great job and very personable
Awesome service with great smile! Love coming here and get pampered. The atmosphere is very relaxing. Worth the trip just to visit new found friends. I highly recommend this place.
I have trichotillimania, so I have no eyebrow hairs. Darlynne made me feel so warm and welcomed, like I was family. I am definitely going back for other services!
Darlynn microbladed my eyebrows and they are amazing! It cuts off time getting ready in the morning and I still have brows after I wash my makeup off at night. Don't know why I waited this long to do it! Very professional results at a very reasonable price. Healed beautifully and quickly.
Went in this week for a pedi polish and a gel mani. Owner was able to schedule my daughter and I for the next day! When the exact color I desired was not available the owner hand mixed polishes until she achieved exactly what I was hoping for. That is so refreshing as so many salon operators struggle with communicating in English. In a typical salon no care would be shown if your desired color was not a choice. My daughter's experience was also exceptional. Beautiful nails and Kind and Conscientious staff. Would recommend and will return!
Relaxing High Quality Spa
Today I came in to see Darlynn for a polygel manicure. She is always so kind and friendly. She does an amazing job on every service I've received. Today, I asked for a special favor on top of my manicure. I did not have an appointment for this procedure. Darlynn was already booked for the rest of her day, however, she was able to take an extra 30 minutes to accommodate my request. She always goes above and beyond! Thank you Darlynn for the special service today, and always! I would also like to say that Glo's prices are very fair. Kimberly does a fantastic job on my hair. She listens to what type of color and style you are looking for and makes sure you are happy with the outcome. Thank you Kimberly! Di
Nail Artist Christi & Owner 'darling Darlynn' make everything first rate!
My absolute favorite thing about glo is the warm environment created by Owner, Darlynn - and the staff she hires. Each time I've visited for a manicure, pedicure or Henna tattoo, the tools & practices used always reach the highest standards in cleanliness... which make this safety girl be able to kick back and enjoy my time spent there. Their prices are also extremely competitive (which makes this gal on a tight budget feel less guilty about investing in healthy self-care!). My most recent foray into the salon was a week ago when I visited Nail Artist, Christi, for the first time. She is SO down to earth, with just the right mix of friendly, warm, conversation & moments of relaxing quiet while she diligently and carefully worked on my gel manicure. The particular bottle of polish I had chosen had an overflow of polish in the cap which had transferred onto my skin a few times during the manicure, and instead of waiting until she was in a more convenient pausing place for herself, Christi immediately stopped and cleaned up the polish transfer, then scrupulously examined the nail she had last worked prior to the interruption, to make sure all was as it should be :-) Christi worked with in the time frame of the booked manicure, but NOT ONCE did I feel rushed or that she had any other priorities during my session - I felt so Cared For! I asked her a few questions about Shellac nail care and she gave me validating and helpful answers. It was relaxing, enjoyable and the color on my nails brings me sheer JOY every time I look down at it. The open nature of the glo environment feels so UN-Pretentious & I'm not the least bit anxious walking in. Darlynn makes you feel like you can ask any question to learn more about a service, with no pressure to book. Thrilled to be able to support a local business that is friendly, inviting... and always on the cutting edge of offering new beauty and self-care services! ~Amy S. (Washougal, WA)
Best nails ever!!!
I am extremely picky and pay attention to detail, and I am so happy to write this review to tell others how amazing this place is! First off, it's beautiful inside and the employees that work there are the perfect amount of professionalism and friendliness. They use no drills whatsoever and file your nails to the absolute perfect shape. I've been there twice now and I will never go anywhere else! My nails are perfect! I just bring in a pic from Instagram every time and Darlynn's artistic ability creates nails that are better than my pic! I also had a pedicure there with Rachel and it was amazing as well. I was spoiled with a blanket and a glass of wine. :-) They couldn't get rid of me if they tried! :-)
Great service, professional and friendly
I've been seeing Darlynn for years. She started by doing my nails about 20 years ago and recently I had eyeliner tattooed on and eye brows microbladed. She is very careful and goes slow to be precise. I trust her and would recommend her to friends and family.,
I am in love with Glo!! Darlynn was the most amazing, gracious and kind professional that has ever touched my feet! I moved here from Chicago last year and have not been happy with any pedicure I have gotten since my move. I do have unhealthy feet which are not pleasing to the eye but it's more about having healthy happy feet for me. Darlynn listened to my woes where my problematic toe is concerned. Usually a pedicure is very painful in my problem areas and she was so smooth and I did not feel a thing! This has never happened! Mastermind she is! Her salon is gorgeous and inviting and everyone I encountered there was delightful! I will never go anywhere else for beauty again! Please take it from me and go to Glo!!! I am a happy lady with pretty feet finally!!!
Polygel Nails
Thank you Darlynn for recommending the new ploygel product for my nails. It was a pleasure to get my nails filled and to be educated regarding the common practices in artificial nails. To anyone who desires not to be burned or cut during a nail application or fill and to not inhale toxic fumes I highly recommend trying out the healthier alternative nail services at Glo Beauty Lounge.
Extra-mile, high quality spa. And I'm kind of a snob.
Yes, my family and friends tell me I'm a spa snob. Can't help it. I expect places I go to get personal services to be clean and efficient, sure, but I want a great experience AND results. I'm a Camas mom who recently moved to Washougal and I usually go into Portland for reliable beauty services. So many local establishments just don't understand high touch, great service.

Amazing nails, very personable
I got French tips put on :) love them! I have always had to tell other ladies to please make them shorter and I didn't have to do that, they were just right! The appointment may have gone a lil over but that was because we were having an actual conversation and it was fun and engaging(don't worry no one was waiting) and I have missed that in other technicians. Thanks you Darlynn
My daughter gave me a gift certificate for my birthday for a facial with Angela. I'm not one to go to salons but I must say--this was the best gift ever. I didn't know what to expect but if you're like me, go! Book with Angela the Estheticion. She went beyond great & I came home looking 10 years younger.! 💕
Game changer
Went in for microblading with Darlynn in March. Since then I have done my eyeliner and had my touch up for brows. I have to say she is an amazing artist and so easy to talk to about what I wanted. I have literally started to see my face in a new way! So happy to be out in any condition from dates to dirtbikes and always have amazing eyebrows! So very happy!
Great Customer Service
Went in this week for a pedi polish and a gel mani. Owner was able to schedule my daughter and I for the next day! When the exact color I desired was not available the owner hand mixed polishes until she achieved exactly what I was hoping for.

My daughter's experience was also exceptional. Beautiful nails and Kind and Conscientious staff. Would recommend and will return!
High quality manicures
My expirence was great! They are very interactive. They do polish, gel, or design. This is by far the best nail salon I've been to in a while.
Beautiful brows immediately
I had such a wonderful experience getting my brows done. Darlynn is masterful in her craft. Everything went smoothly and I walked away that evening able to go out on a date feeling confident. Not only that I was lucky enough to win the contest for a week in Hawaii :-) excellent service and a huge bonus :-) I have recommended it to many many of my friends
Wonderful salon (plus I WON THE TRIP TO HAWAII😎😎😎😎)
Glo salon is a wonderful, friendly, professional and fun spot in downtown Washougal. I have had spa manicures (excellent), the mango pedicures (excellent), and the brow shaping and tinting(perfect). I am so thrilled that I was lucky enough to win the drawing yesterday for the week in Hawaii. I am so excited! What other spa has a prize like this? Thank you!
Wax services
Mary is wonderful. So sweet. Totally professional with all my needs. I've had my lip, chin, arms, nose and Brazilian. Mary's an A plus.
The best
Just love Darlynn. Very upbeat and relaxing at the same time.Not to mention, my nails are perfectly done every time
MIcroblading brows!
First off, I didn't think my brows were bad...I just wanted to fill in a few areas where my brows have thinned over the years...WELL...Darlynn seriously transformed my brows...They look so nice and I haven't even had my second appointment yet...I love my brows...Darlynn is a true artist...
If you have ever wanted perfect brows this is the place to go! Darlynn is great! I had nothing before and now I don't have to waste 15 minutes to pencil them in anymore! All the girls are nice and friendly. The atmosphere is pretty and feels like a little spa. Perfect for a little town!!!
Professional and very friendly
I get my nails done here and Darlynn always makes them look amazing! Darlynn works with my crazy work schedule and works hard to keep all her clients happy!
The best!!
Glo is the only place I will go for nails. The atmosphere is professional and the service top notch!! I recently had my permanent eyeliner done there as well ❤It!!!!
Great Girlie Day for a Tomboy at heart.
I had a friend give me a spa day at the Glo Beauty Lounge and it was wonderful. I am a middle aged woman who is a down to earth farm girl and tomboy at heart. I have never been one to do much of the girlie beauty lounge type stuff until I got this incredible experience from a friend of mine. I went into Glo Beauty Lounge this morning and was greeted with warm gentle smiles by Mary and Lynn. Mary performed my facial, manicure and pedicure. She asked me what my biggest concerns were with my skin and I told her that the wrinkles that have started showing up the last few years. Using the Eminence Skin Care products, her experience and gentle hands, I swear by the time she was done my wrinkles were gone. Next was my pedicure and manicure. My toes are beautiful and the foot massage was as relaxing as the massage that came with my facial. Being a farm girl and being around animals all the time, my hands are always dry, rough and my nails I want to hide. Mary fixed all that. I now wonder how my garden is going to get planted this year, as I don't want to mess up my beautiful nails. Maybe it is time in my life to start enjoying some of this wonderful pampering on a more regular basis. I can promise you I will be back to Glo again and again.
Amazing Facial
I had a facial today with the wonderful Mary at Glo Beauty Lounge. Mary used the best products from Hungary. Mary had s gentle touch, soft voice and my face feels like a baby's bottom. You know Mary is great when you fall asleep during your facial.
High quality service and the staff was amazing!!
The staff at glõ Beauty Lounge are all so kind and so helpful! Not only do they provide you with a service, they educate you as well! And they also sell Eminence skin products to continue radiant skin from home as well!! The other thing that makes this place super special is that they provide Microblading!! And at a reasonable price!! AND when you walk in the front door, they immediately make you feel welcome and comfortable. I encourage EVERYONE to make an appointment at glõ Beauty Lounge. You won't regret it.
Deborah is beyond amazing!
Every time I go there not only do I look better, talking to Deborah always makes me feel better. She has a very special way with people. My skin looks better with every single visit to her. It is not just a facial where your face looks better for an hour after, her facials have lasting effects. She has a real talent for what she does, this is not just a learned skill for her.
A place for peace and healing
I am a caregiver to a family member. When people ask me what I'm doing for myself, my answer is always "I go to Glo".It's my oasis. I look forward to my visit, I enjoy my service and I relish my time there afterward. On top of all that, the services are wonderful. My skin has never looked so good and the manicures and pedicures are always done beautifully. Thank you, Glo!
Not only a place of business but a place of friends!
There aren't words to describe the ladies at Glo Beauty. They are beyond what any other beauty/spa even aspires to be. I used to only pop in for a pedicure at whatever local place happened to be open; but the warmth, love and true caring the ladies at Glo provide has made me a regular customer of theirs from toes to the top of my head. One of my favorite things to do now is purchase gift certificates from them for just about any occasion, birthdays, mother's day, even my little sister getting ready to deliver her baby. It's SUCH A PERFECT TREAT and I know they'll be loved on just as much as I am.
Amazing personalized service from Deb!
I love this spa! This is my favorite spa that I have ever gone to and I travel almost 30 minutes away from my home just to go to this spa. Deb is the best! Her staff is always warm and welcoming and the environment is peaceful, nurturing, and restorative.
Lovely Oasis
I have been loving my times at Glo. Service is fabulous. I use Stacy in particular but all the gals are so talented and caring.
Debra's facials are magical. She pays attention to every detail and makes every experience unique. Her products are first rate, from scent to substance. She focuses on what is good for your skin, but makes it a heavenly experience.
Love it!
Best Spa experience ever!
Absolutely Awesome!!
I've been a customer at Glo since day one. It is my escape from reality, my pamper me and make me happy go to place. Whether it is a totally relaxing and refreshing facial, a fun and special manicure or pedicure, a Reflexology session, or getting rid of that pesky and annoying lip/chin hair, I ALWAYS love my time at Glo. Did I mention I really, really love going there????? Give yourself a treat, make an appointment NOW!
I recommend Deborah hands down. Amazing, talented, excellent, pays attention to detail!!
Alway enjoy a visit to Glo
I don't usually right reviews as life is just too busy, but Glo is worth the time. Grab a coffee at Torque and enjoy some pampering at Glo. If you are looking for the best facial of your life, book a facial with Deb. Stacy will make your nails dazzle and truly their gel manicure lasts 2.5 - 3 weeks. They are always full of good advice and take the time to give you a relaxing, peaceful experience.
Such great service, I have two more appointments booked!
Amazing service, relaxing atmosphere, and friendly people! Been here twice (first for a manicure, second for brow, underarm and Brazilian waxing) , and love the place so much, I've already books two more appointments (and contemplating a third). You won't be disappointed! They answer all of your questions up front, explain every process, and make sure you are comfortable throughout the entire visit.
Always perfect!
I am always excited when I have an appointment to visit Glo. The experience is relaxing and calming and the results are fantastic. Thank you, Glo!
Pampering and beauty maintenance one stop shop!!
The most fantastic, easy, painless Brazilian ever!! Lots of other amazing services too!! My go to place for a day of pampering and beauty maintenance!!
I love seeing these ladies, they are very good at what they do! Always willing to try my crazy ideas, and they turn out amazing. Very clean and friendly place. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family!
Great "Places" sometimes appear in 'smaller packages..." ~ as in Glo Beauty Lounge
When I moved to Washougal, I needed to find a new place for manicures, facials and waxing. To my delight, I discovered "Glo" - a small and peaceful oasis only 5 minutes from home! . Glo Beauty Lounge is designed to soothe body and spirit. Their ambiance radiates love & serenity.. Yes, it's true -- those who routinely obtain care for such services, expect excellence. But the superior service AND warmth the owner and her staff provide has substantially raised that "bar." They make every client feel like a VIP -- whether the visit is for one service or several. Dialoging with Deb about skin care is thorough. And I love the way my skin & nails are responding to the TLC. If you're looking for a salon where excellent manicures/pedicures, facials and waxing is the 'norm' then consider checking out Glo Beauty Lounge. Chances are, you'll be happy you did!
I have been going to Glo since it first opened. I receive incredible service everytime and would never think to go elsewhere! Deborah is such a delight and will do everything to accommodate your needs.

Prime Minister
President of the Senate
Speaker of the House of Representatives
Chief Justice
Leader of the Opposition
Members of the Ministry
Members of the Australian Parliament
Members of the Diplomatic Corps
Distinguished guests
My fellow Australians
Consequent upon the oaths I have just taken, I assume the office of Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia, the 26th person to do so, the 13th Australian to hold the office.
Let me start by paying my respects to the Ngunnawal people on whose land we meet and through them to all the Indigenous people and their nations within Australia and all its territory.
I am at once humbled and proud to assume the role as Governor-General: humbled to know something of the great men and the one woman to have preceded me and proud beyond description of Australia, of its men and women and of their history, their heritage, their present genius and their hopeful future. To think that I will play some part of the public discourse in that regard extends to me, my wife and family the greatest honour of our fortunate lives.
A moment ago I spoke about the one woman to have filled the office of Governor-General. This is my first very public opportunity to add my congratulations to those already given by all of you here in the Parliament to Dame Quentin Bryce and her husband Michael for their great efforts over the last 5 ½ years. I wish them a long, healthy and joyful future in the satisfaction of their most eminent service to our nation.
I come to the tasks of the appointment in some senses, 'agenda-free'. What I mean by this is that my wife and I will be attentive to any and all agenda we encounter, that sit within a broad and fundamental set of Australian values- values that respect and uphold equity, compassion, generosity, tolerance and energetic ambition.
Our nation prides itself on high levels of social inclusiveness and harmony and equity and compared to most nations on earth that pride is not misplaced. Yet in the broad and indeed in some special sectors of our community, we remain imperfect, a 'work-in-progress'. There is a role for the Governor-General, in the words of one of my predecessors, to reflect the community to itself, without becoming partisan and I will embrace those opportunities enthusiastically.
In the year I had as 'Australian of the Year' in 2001, I had the great honour, alongside my continuing military service, to visit many parts of our national community. That was not only an honour but in retrospect a formidable insight into my forthcoming tasks – formidable but not daunting. I pledge all my energy and goodwill to all the tasks of Australia's Governor-General, not least those working within the wider community.
Moving to a close, I address all the parliamentarians present, in this place, the hub of one of the world's great democracies. As the elected representatives of and within Australia's communities, you will know best of all the vibrancy, even stridency of political discourse in this nation, of its robustness, even its abrasiveness. Yet the Australian people, even when occasionally expressing mild alarm and sometimes disappointment in the tenor of the political battle maintain a profound, underlying confidence that our system of government will continue to serve the nation's needs effectively.
Let me illustrate:
In the House of Representatives on 13th February this year, the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition made Statements on Indulgence, concerning the award posthumously, of the Victoria Cross to Corporal Cameron Baird: The Prime Minister said, "I salute Corporal Cameron Baird VC MG . . . in this place we do not face danger, so we can hardly claim him as our brother, but we do acclaim him as our hero. We can hardly imagine what the likes of Corporal Baird and his comrades go through but we stand in awe of their extraordinary courage, the extraordinary courage of these amazing men who serve our country and keep us safe."
Immediately thereafter, the Leader of the Opposition said, "All Australians admire courage. All of us aspire to be strong. But bravery and strength is not restricted to those who are decorated. Corporal Baird – and all his fellow soldiers are heroes. But there can be no doubt that Corporal Baird was the sort of man that every soldier would aspire to be. We hail and salute Corporal Cameron Baird . . . he lives in the injured hearts of those he left too soon."
Ladies and gentlemen of the Parliament - those remarks, that unity of spirit, that instinct to reflect the mood of the Australian people at a special moment, was as much representative of the strength of our democracy as any of the partisan issues of our times.
Lynne and I reiterate our consciousness of the great honour and great responsibility conferred upon us and now it's time to get to work.
Thank you Mr President and Madam Speaker.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ) — The Maryland General Assembly is back in business, as the 2017 session is underway, and there's a lot on the agenda.
WJZ's Pat Warren was in Annapolis Wednesday as lawmakers began their 90 day session.
The session begins with the promise to work together, but particularly on issues that affect families.
With $500,000 in deficit, don't expect tax cuts, but no increases, either.
"Today, I would hope that every Marylander is hopeful that we in the general assembly are going to make their lives better at the end of 90 days," said Maryland House Speaker Michael Busch.
That includes paid sick days for people choosing between going to work and getting well, which lawmakers expect to pass this session.
That and other issues of priority.
"I believe we can work together on every one of those issues with respect to education, the environment and transportation," said Gov. Larry Hogan. "They are the top priorities and I think there's a lot more that unites us than divides us and while you're certainly not going to agree on everything, i think we can agree to disagree without being disagreeable."
Next year is the state election year and we will see how this session goes after a move to override the governor's veto of a renewable energy bill.
The general assembly will also consider passing a constraint – a prescription affordability initiative – in light of skyrocketing medicines.

In this series I'll be going over the essential elements needed to market your services or products business online – in order from zero to your first sale! I'll document the steps I go through and tell you which tools I use to get started, to get ramped up, and to get selling.
In today's lesson, we focus on getting you the best domain name possible (and we talk a bit about WordPress and hosting).
1) Domain Name: What to Consider
Okay, the first thing you need to do to market online is to choose the right domain name for your business.
Why is getting the right domain name important?
- Your domain name is a key part of your branding
- Having keywords in your domain positively impacts your SEO (your online "findability")
- It's hard to change your domain name later because you have to move your site, redirect links, change logos and let people know about the change
Here are some key decisions to make:
- Do you have a National, International or Local Focus? How does that impact your domain name (e.g. a more local BayAreaVideo.com vs. VideoProductionGuys.com – just examples)
- Do you have multiple businesses? Or just one? Will this website encompass all of these businesses? Or will it focus on one main one?
- Will you outgrow a narrow focus quickly?
2) Four Tools for Finding a Great Domain Name
A) LongTailPro – A great SEO Tool with a twist..
My favorite SEO tool is now LongTailPro (it used to be Market Samurai). LongTailPro includes some features that make it very valuable for finding good, keyword-rich domain names. So, rather than brainstorming your own keywords and domain names, you can put in one or more seed keywords and LTP will generate ideas for you and will even check for domain name availability. You can find some great (and valuable) domains via this tool.
a) Put in a seed keyword or set of keywords (and check the box for domain availability)
b) Let it run and on the right it will show domain availability
B) Domize – begins showing you available domain names as you type
C) Wordoid – lets you specify which words are included in a domain name and where (and it makes up various combinations for you).
D) GoDaddy Bulk Domain Search – why search one name at a time?
3) Key Characteristics of a Good Domain Name
Follow these guidelines to pick a better domain name:
- Short: Make it as short as possible – obviously a lot of the best two-word domain names are taken but do your best to find a two-word or three-word name. Consider using shorter words if you use a three-word name.
- Keywords: Consider including one or more important industry keywords (or even a two word phrase) in the domain name. This can help your SEO.
- Unambiguous: Make sure the name is easy to pronounce and remember
- Radio Test: Does it pass the "Radio Test" – if someone heard it on the radio can they spell it? Remember it?
- Avoid Homonyms: Avoid names that include words that can be spelled multiple ways like "C", "See" and "Sea"
- Compelling: Does is have some meaning that is relevant to your company's business?
- Google Test: Do a search for your name in Google. What do you find? Is it competitive? Does the domain you come up with have any negative connotations online?
- Descriptive: Does it have elements that help people understand what you do?
- "Dot com": For most business Websites, using ".com" is the best Top Level Domain (TLD). A secondary choice is ".net". Consider ".org" for organizations. The rules are different for non-US sites where the TLD may be .de (Germany) or .au (Australia)
- Avoid Dashes: If possible, avoid dashes. Google treats a dash "-" as a space so won't penalize you for search engine optimization, but many people consider dashed domain names (e.g. www.my-company-name.com) as inferior to the non-dashed versions.
- Sleep On It: Don't fall in love with the first name you find. Sleep on it or consider a few alternatives before you make a final decision. That doesn't mean you can't "buy and hold" (see the next point)
- Buy Good Ones: If you find a potentially valuable name, consider buying it right away, even if you may use another name for your business. Don't forget that you can try to sell it as a premium domain in GoDaddy (see below).
4) Buying Your Domain – Where I buy my domains and why
I have consolidated all of my domain names with GoDaddy. I use GoDaddy for the following reasons:
- It's cheap and if you search, you can usually find great coupons (I like the ones at Fatwallet.com). I use "cjc749fat" all the time for $7.49 .com domain names
- If I buy surplus domain names I can list them as a Premium domain for free in case someone stumbles upon it! I sold one surplus domain last year for $788 (note: GoDaddy takes 30% but this is "found money" for you for names that you're not going to use).
- You can also sell domain names through their auction. I sold one surplus domain name for $150 this way.
- It makes it all easier to list domains as premium domains or in auction if you already own the names through GoDaddy. GoDaddy has such a high volume of traffic (they're like the Amazon.com of domain names) that you're improving your chances of someone finding your domain as they search for just the right name for their business.
- GoDaddy has great phone support
Here's what they'll see if they search for it (or for similar names):
5) WordPress: The Website/Blog Platform I use
Once you have your domain name, what technology do you use for the website?
- We'll cover this in detail in the next lesson, but the platform I use is "self-hosted WordPress". This is the platform that all of my sites are on and that most of the online marketers use to run their businesses.
- You can read more about my decision process for choosing WordPress here.
- If you're ready to go, this site runs on Studiopress – which is a very robust WordPress platform (specifically the News Theme). Again, more about these topics in the next post.
6) Where I host my WordPress sites and why
I'll cover this in detail next time, but the short answer is that my Websites are all hosted at Bluehost. Why?
I use Bluehost for my WordPress hosting because it's:
- Easy to use – I find their channel relatively easy to use (compared to many of the other hosts I've worked with)
- Inexpensive – their pricing is very reasonable (about $5.95/month or so)
- Flexible – they have a lot of options for your account and for adding features
- Can host unlimited sites in one account – under one account (and one fee), you can host multiple websites saving you a ton of money and administrative headaches
- Easiest wordpress install that I've found – you can be up and running in under an hour (more about this next time)
- 24/7 U.S.-based phone support – if you have problems, pick up the phone 24/7 to get a real person helping you out
- During checkout, you can purchase SiteLock fairly inexpensively to monitor your site for hacking or security issues
Resources mentioned in this post:
- Domain name research: LongTailPro, Domize, Wordoid or GoDaddy Bulk Domain Search
- Buy domain names: GoDaddy
- Hosting WordPress: Bluehost
- WordPress premium theme: Studiopress (this site uses the News Theme)

COVID–19 Info for Educational Trust Grant Recipients.
Given restrictions around travel and congregation, the Board of Trustees will review the situation in the coming weeks with the aim to enable teachers to use their grants and bursaries within an extended timeline.
While no specific decisions have been made at this time, the Board will communicate directly with recipients when those decisions are finalized.
The ATA Educational Trust is a registered charitable organization closely affiliated with the Alberta Teachers' Association. Each year, the Trust offers bursaries and grants to Alberta teachers and educational researchers. Through its bursary program, the Trust encourages teachers to advance their knowledge and teaching skills by enrolling in courses of study. The Trust's grant programs encourage teachers to attend professional development activities and events.
Since its inception in 1978, the Trust has received ongoing support from the ATA, many of its local associations, the Alberta Retired Teachers' Association and private individuals. The Trust is managed by a board of seven trustees appointed by the Association.
Through its bursary program, the Trust encourages teachers to advance their knowledge and teaching skills by taking courses. Bursaries are paid after the recipient has completed the course, submitted proof of the amount paid in tuition fees and proof that the course has been completed.
Each year, the Trust awards a number of bursaries to certificated Alberta teachers wishing to take academic courses related to their teaching responsibilities.
To qualify for a grant
Once a member is awarded an Educational Trust Bursary or Grant, he or she must wait three full school years before applying again.
Selecting Recipients
The name of each eligible person whose application is received by the May 1 deadline will be entered into a draw. All successful applicants are advised of the draw results by mail before the end of June.
Click here for online application form.
Deadline: May 1, 2020.
Through this grant program, the Trust encourages teachers to advance their knowledge and teaching skills by attending a Non-ATA conference, a workshop, a seminar, an institute or a symposium. Grants are paid after the recipient has attended the professional development event, submitted proof of payment and a completed claim form.
To qualify for a bursary, applicants must be planning to take part in one of the previously mentioned professional development events occurring between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2020.
Applying for a Bursary
The deadline for the next draw is September 30, 2019. Applications for an ATA specialist council conference and academic courses are not eligible as they are supported by other ATA Educational Trust programs. Only one form will be accepted from any applicant in a given year. Applicants who have received an ATA Educational Trust grant in the past 3 years are ineligible.
The name of each eligible person whose application has been received by the September 30 deadline is entered into a draw and selected at random. All successful applicants are advised of the draw results by mail by November.
Applications will be available May 2020.
Each year, the Trust awards a number of grants to help defray the costs associated with attending an ATA specialist council conference. Eligible expenses include registration, accommodation, fuel and food. Only expenses not covered by other grants will be considered for compensation. The application deadline is September 30, 2019.
To qualify for a grant, applicants must
In October, the names of all eligible applicants are entered into a draw and a set number of names are selected at random. The September 30 deadline is strictly applied. Faxed or e-mailed applications will not be accepted.
Successful candidates will receive a claim form in October. Once they have attended the conference, they will need to submit the form along with original receipts for the expenses incurred.
The Trust is managed by a board of seven trustees (see below), named by the Association. The ATA supports the day-to-day operation of the Trust by providing office space and staff. The Trust operates with complete autonomy and reports once a year to the Provincial Executive Council of the ATA. The Trust's annual report and audited financial statements are presented to the Annual Representative Assembly of the ATA in May of each year.
In addition, through the University of Alberta, the Trust offers the Orest and Francina Lazarowich $1,000 Bursary in Technology Education for third-year education students enrolled in the U of A's CTS program. For information on applying for this bursary click here.

For shallow holes down to app. 100 m, not every drilling method is suitable. Hytti (1987) presents a diagram showing the optimal drilling methods in respect to hole diameter and rock strength (Fig. 2).
Borehole diameter [inches]
Fig. 2: Applicable drilling methods (revised after Hytti, 1987)
Borehole diameter [inches]
Fig. 2: Applicable drilling methods (revised after Hytti, 1987)
Table 1 lists recommended drilling methods for the various ground conditions. Drilling rates of app. 10 m per hour are realistic when using rotary drilling with drag bits in soft/medium and Down-the-hole- (DTH) or Top-Hammer in hard and very hard rock. The advantage of DTH in hard rock can be seen in data from drilling for Schwalbach GCHP Reserach Station: In the same quarzitic rock, app. 5 m apart, and with the same very light drill rig (~2 metric tons), a 50-m-borehole could be completed using rotary drilling with rock- and button-bit in about 5 days; with DTH, the 50 m were completed after 4Mhours.
A further restriction applies to the rotary method. Rotary drilling is widely used and can be adopted to almost every drilling problem, but drilling velocity normaly is not very high and can become extremly low in unfavourable conditions. Rotary cutting with drag bits in soft and medium rock can be effective even with light rigs, but rotary crushing with rock- or roller bits and even more with button bits requires heavy load on the bit to crush the rock when rolling over the teeth (fig. 3). In deep holes as in oil well drilling, the drill string alone brings enough load onto the bit; for shallow holes, the required load often exceeds the weight of a light drilling rig, in spite of using heavy tubing. The optimum load increases with borehole diameter;
Cambefort (1964) recommends 700-900 kg/in in soft and 1400-1800 kg/in in hard rock. For a standard 115 mm (4 V") borehole, suitable for most of the European BHE, in hard rock a load of 6.3 to 8.1 metric tons would result. Even in this optimum condition, the drilling rate in hard rock is only 1-2 m per hour, and can decrease to some 10 cm/h when the load is too small. Thus, for shallow holes in hard rock conventional rotary drilling is not a good choice.

1 Down-the-Hole-Hammer
Overburden Drilling Equipment; ODEX is a trademark of Atlas Copco
With the hammer techniques, drilling in hard rock is very fast and cost-effective. Problems arise, if intercalations of soft and instable layers are present. For unconsolidated overburden, the ODEX 3-method offers a way to install a casing down to the bedrock while drilling and to proceed drilling in the hard formation with normal DTH-equipment. If the overburden is too thick, or if instable rock is found at considerable depth, the DTH with pneumatic flushing of the cuttings can not be used. In rotary drilling, were a fluid (normally water) is used for flushing the hole, special drilling muds can stabilize the borehole wall. In table 2, some common mud additives are listed.
thixotropic, stabilises the hole
possible clogging of aquifers
CMC (cellulose)
stabilises the borehole wall, reduces water losses
growth of bacteria
minimises water losses to the formation
baryte, ilmenite etc.
weighting materials, stabilise the hole, keep pressured water down
possible problems with BHE installation
foam generators
facilitates flushing out of cuttings
Two phenomena are used to stabilize the hole with the listed additives. Bentonite and cellulose-products have thixotropic properties, i.e. they build up stable aggregates when stagnant but are fluid in motion. Heavy minerals as baryte (BaSO4), ilmenite (FeTiO3) or hematite (Fe2O3) increase the density of the drilling mud, can counteract the formation pressure and thus stabilize the borehole. They are also used if groundwater under artesian pressure is present. However, thick or heavy muds make insertion of the heat exchanger pipes difficult.
The economy of drilling shallow holes is completely different than that of deep oil- or gas wells. Very easy methods, as the tractor-mounted auger (fig. 4) described by Reuss et al. (1990), can be used by a farmer for installing BHE with no external cost; and even drilling with hammer equipment is far from cost and time required for deep holes. Light, mobile rigs, suitable for both rotary and DTH, ensure cost-effective drilling (fig. 5).
Equations for calculating drilling cost have been discussed in the literature. Armstead (1983) cites two equations, and Schulz & Jobmann (1989) establish an equation for Germany (here converted into US-$):
C = 95,000 . 1.153d US geothermal wells
C = 112,000 . D . e(0,01 . D) German geothermal wells with C: Total cost for drilling in US-$
D: Depth of hole in hundreds of meters
All three equations fit well the data for holes deeper than 500 m, but overestimate cost for shallow holes. A 100-m-hole would cost US-$ 109535, 57189 and 113125 resp., following
3 Overburden Drilling Equipment; ODEX is a trademark of Atlas Copco these equations. The realistic drilling cost including BHE and grouting in Europe are from 3550 US-$/m (40-55 €/m) for holes from 50-100 depth, resulting in 3500 to 5000 US-$ (40005500 €) for the 100-m-hole. Only in very unfavourable geologic conditions, where temporary casing etc. may be required, the cost will be higher.
Fig. 5: Drilling rig optimised for BHE installation, mounted on all-terrain vehicle
Fig. 5: Drilling rig optimised for BHE installation, mounted on all-terrain vehicle
BHE fields with a number of boreholes should yield netterr economy. So it is not unexpected that Garlick (1986) reports US-$ 311,134 for 324 holes each 52 m deep, which means only US-$ 18.5 per meter. Rammed or pressed steel earth probes in soft ground cost 22 - 40 US-$ per meter, and for the SIG-system Engvall (1986) calculated 1,640,000 SKr for a 100,000 m3 ground heat store with 54,750 m earth probe length, which would be less than 6 US-$ per meter. With the simple auger shown in fig. 4, Beck et al. (1993) achieved total cost for drilling, installation, ground connections, backfilling in a BHE field with 103 boreholes of 8-12 m depth of 27400 US-$ (30900 €), that is 26,4 US-$/m (30 €/m).

What UP board 12th Result 2019 Consists of?
Through this section, you will come to know that how your result will display once it is declared officially. So, let's check it out.
UP 12th Result 2019 Vs 2018
The analysis of an outcome plays a very important role at the time of the result. Here we are going to see the difference between the result of Uttar Pradesh board for the year 2018 and 2019. So, let's first check with UP board exam.
In 2018, UP board has announced the class 12th result on April 29. Although the board has confirmed the date and timings of the result prior to a week ago. This increased excitement among the students. But not only the students were excited but also their parents, school authorities and other third-party websites which took the responsibility for reaching to the students with their result. Among all these, we were also in the queue. UP board is one of the biggest board where every year lakhs of students have registered for themselves. In 2018 around 6 lakh students have appeared for the examinations. Out of the total, 29,81,327 students have appeared for class 12th examinations while 36,55,591 students appeared for class 10th examinations. 72.43% was the total passing percentage of the students of class 12th. The girls of the state score total of 78.44% while the boys scored a total of 67.36%.
However, the passing percentage was dipped by 10% as compared to the last year. So, In 2019, we are expecting the increment in the overall percentage. As the UP board is doing a lot of efforts in improving its management system. So, keeping in mind all the points we can say that in 2019 there will be an increment in the number of appeared students as well as in the passing percentage.
Some Important Facts About Uttar Pradesh Board
Let's explore more about our UP Board 10th Result. Uttar Pradesh board has come into the functioning in the year 1921. UP board is the conducting body for organizing the examinations at the state level as well as declaring the result annually. In 2018, lakhs of students have registered for the examinations but more than 11 lakh students have skipped from the examinations. And this is found that most of the students were from our neighboring countries like Nepal, Bangladesh. In order to bring a change in the evaluation of the result, the board has appointed the special task force and other security means. This would probably stop the cheating cases during exams.
For the first time, the answer sheets of the toppers of 2018 were uploaded online in order to provide help to the next generation. Apart from this, the students will also able to understand the grading system introduced by the board. After the declaration of the result board also provided the facility for rechecking and reverifying. Above all UP board is also making the adhaar card compulsory for the students of class 9th and class 11th who will appear for the board examinations 2019. This step is taken to eradicate the problem that on the behalf of one student another student is appearing for the examinations.

Globalisation and global health: issues for nursing
Caroline Bradbury-Jones Reader in nursing, College of Medical and Dental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, England
Maria Clark Lecturer in nursing, College of Medical and Dental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, England
'Globalisation' is the term used to describe the increasing economic and social interdependence between countries. Shifting patterns of health and disease are associated with globalisation. Global health refers to a health issue that is not contained geographically and that single countries cannot address alone. In response to globalisation and global health issues, nurses practise in new and emerging transnational contexts. Therefore, it is important that nurses respond proactively to these changes and understand the effects of globalisation on health worldwide. This article aims to increase nurses' knowledge of, and confidence in, this important area of nursing practice.

Carolina Defender Tactical Supply
After paying $300 up front, $55 for 1 month, and being given a guarantee, Michelle was unable to complete the task she was hired for. I then requested the refund per the guarantee and only received a partial, $100, hence the 2 stars.
This company would be fine for a much smaller and simpler operation.
Would not recommend. Very hard to get someone on the phone.

How It Works
HotelBot works on Slack and Facebook Messenger, for now. You could also open your Messenger app on your phone or tablet. Or on your computer go to messenger.com.
If it's your first time visiting HotelBot, you'll have to click the Get Started button.
Then, you select the 'Book a room' option.
Just type the hotel you want to stay in, the city, and dates you're going there. For instance Miami July 3 – 5
As a smart chatbot, I can understand airport codes (like SFO for San Francisco, MIA for Miami), as well as dates in different formats. For instance Mar 9 – 12, March 9 to 12, mar 9th to 11th, etc. Test your favorite way and see if it works, most likely it will!
For instance, these sentences are easy for our chatbot to understand:
Westin Atlanta, Nov 12-14
SFO from Dec 1 to 3
Miami from October 5 for 3 days
mia dec 10-12

Some like being the life of the party – but if you're a social introvert like myself that is not an option. So what works for me is I try to bring the entertainment or the fun that creates the many lives of the party! Board games, card and table games, beer pong, fun drinking toys, fancy glassware or accessories, or anything that promotes laughter and good times. I look for items where anyone can take part; even the already cut-off or sober people can take shots of juice just to participate or fill a spot if needed. Ultimately, there's three reasons why I am the king of drinking board games for adults:
i) My friends know that my ideas or games will not interfere with their overall party, it will enhance it. Never over-power the host and their idea of what their party will become.
ii) They look to me to bring these adult party games incase there is a lull in the evening, someone brings it up, or my favourite – when the party breaks into clusters, and a small group of people want to start a trend.
iii) My friends know that I love to mediate the game, and make sure nothing (including the actual game and pieces) gets very damaged. And ABOVE ALL, I assure that everyone is safe when they participate.
And let's be honest, no party (especially involving alcohol) ever goes as planned. I have a shelf full of them, and even keep a rotation in the trunk of my car. You never know which party drinking games will come in handy.
My Recommendations:
The Best Drinking Board Games For Adults
Sometimes the most popular drinking board games aren't the most entertaining. They are simply the most bought (remember, some homemade ones are stellar!). I currently own around thirty-five and all of them can be bought online. There is one exception and that will be discussed in another post. So here are the ones that once mastered, either create a cheerful environment, a competitive one, or an outright hilarious time.
This one is the goto among my close friends, when we expect a group of 6+ people. You will need to split into teams after six people and this game has a small learning curve, which I deem as a benefit so no one unaware of their surroundings can participate.
It doesn't require a large table and can be played in anyone's kitchen. It combines multiple, popular games into one including Beer Pong, Flip Cup, Quarters and College Drinking Party Games. I appreciate the attention to details with this game, especially the fact that everything (board, pieces, etc.) are water resistant. Not that water has ever been played around my board, and this is a drink a palooza review so I'll say "liquid resistant".
I have partaken in a few rowdy beer pong games over the years. They usually result in lost or destroyed ping pong balls resulting in the end of the game, and a lot of alcohol spillage. This Mini Beer Pong Board Game does solve those two issues. It's on the micro-scale so it's easy to pack, carry and clean. The ball is shot with a mini-catapult (it's actually very fun). It is on a tether so the ball will never roll away or get stepped on. Lastly, I enjoy breaking this game out just with my best friend or girlfriend; it's competitive and petite so you don't get uber wasted. It's more about the finesse…
3) Blackout Drinking Party Set
This is another hybrid-game that takes some explaining but once you get rolling (see what I did there?) it is a good way to get lubed up. Hence the name.
There wasn't much to report on about this game as it's straight forward. Everything was waterproof and easy to keep track of. I have only played this game twice and both were under pre-drinking scenarios, which makes me wonder what will happen in a party situations that's… progressed. The one thing I felt while playing was my college party days… but that is merely based on my experiences.
4) Drinking Glass Spinning Roulette Set
If you're looking at simplicity and a quick and easy way for players to get hammered… this is your game. It is exactly what you see: spin the wheel and if the number corresponds with your glass you take the shot. Not rocket science. My friend Todd recommended we assign multiple numbers each and well, you can imagine the results.
5) Shot Glass Tick Tac Toe Game
Another simple alternative and needs no explanation; play a regular tic tac toe game and if you lose, drink all the shots on the board. You could alter those rules because at that rate you are 3-4 losses to annihilation, but hey, life's about winning so play for your liver.
Where Can I Buy Drinking Games?
The best place to find what you're looking for is on Amazon. Make sure you check the game description provided by the manufacturer (and buy direct from the manufacturer if you can to avoid any warranty issues later on). Most importantly, read the reviews by verified purchasers so you know you're getting 100% unbiased feedback.
If you're looking for bricks and mortar, I have some across drinking board games at Walmart.
If you purchase a game that I haven't mentioned in this post, and you think it is a beauty and needs to be mentioned, please let me know.
Create Your Own Drinking Board Games
I will cover this in another post but holy smokes are there a lot of tutorials to sift through and DIY. Homemade drinking board games range from single weekend crafts to full blown complex projects requiring tools and a garage. Good thing my boss and editor don't judge me for all of this… er, research I'm conducting. Be safe and have fun! 🍻

During the FedEx Cup Playoffs, everyone is out to elevate their game.
That's true of the tournament venues, too.
In a bid to engage fans at the BMW Championship Sept. 14-17 at Conway Farms Golf Club, outside Chicago, event organizers will unveil a pop-up driving range and entertainment complex where average Joes can bang balls alongside the pros—and even get a chance to compete with them.
Developed in partnership with Topgolf, the golf and entertainment company, the installation is called Topgolf Crush and it will stand on the main range, adjacent to the practice area set aside for Bubba and the boys.
Anyone familiar with Topgolf will recognize a number of its bells and whistles.
The double-decker facility will have eight stalls, each large enough for six people. From those bays, fans will take aim at targets 50, 100 and 150 yards away, using TopGolf's Toptracer technology to track their shot's success. On the facility's upper deck, there will be a lounge with a live DJ and a BMW-sponsored hole-in-one contest; first prize is a two-year lease on a 2018 BMW X3.
This is not the first-ever Topgolf Crush (the concept debuted at Safeco Field in Seattle earlier this year). But it is the first at a PGA Tour event; Topgolf executives say they hope there will be more to come.
It will be free to fans attending the BMW Championship from Tuesday through Sunday. It will also be open to players in the BMW Championship field.
That's the expectation, anyway: that Tour pros will drop by early in the week to take part in the Topgolf Crush experience. Fans will then have a chance to beat the scores of pros for daily prizes, including a VIP trip to the 2018 BMW Championship.
That's not exactly FedEx Cup money. But it's pretty good for anyone not playing inside the ropes.

Can gardenia plants be used out doors. I live on Long Island zone 7b.
Zone Northport New York 11768 | Anonymous added on April 20, 2018 | Answered
Can I plant a gardenia plant out doors?
Answered on April 21, 2018
Most gardenias are hardy in zones 8-11, but there are a few varieties that are also hardy in zone 7, including the "Kleim's Hardy", "Frostproof", and "Chuck Hayes" varieties.

The world today got its first glance of the 50 workers, until now an anonymous group of lower and mid-level managers. Pictures from inside the plant show staff in full protective suits and masks working in debris-strewn control rooms lit only by torchlight. They are also pictured working to reconnect power supplies and trying to make the towers in the plant safe.
Five are believed to have died and 15 are injured while others have said they know the radiation will kill them. At first light today officials were alarmed to see steam pouring from reactors 1, 2, 3, and 4. It was the first time that steam has escaped from the No 1 reactor.
I have heard about the two or three workers that got radiation burns on their feet and legs by walking in radioactive water. But this is the first time I have heard about people actually dying and receiving enough radiation to know that they are going to die. I also did not understand the true devastation because of the hydrogen explosions. The controlling mechanisms, even if they get electrical power restored, may not actually function. And we are now hearing that one of the main containment vessels has a very large crack in it and that was probably the source of the radioactive water that burned the workers as they valiantly attempted to do whatever they could to help the situation.
Remember, also, that these plants are on the shoreline of the ocean. All this radioactive runoff is going directly into the ocean.
I know this is poor taste and I think many people have been avoiding making these comparisons just for that reason. But I can't help but notice that the situation now resembles many of the mutant monster sci-fi films of the 1950's, both Japanese and American. No, I don't expect a giant whatsits to come lumbering out of the sea and start crushing cars. The giant monsters were just metaphors anyway. The real monster, the unknown entity that we were all totally unprepared to deal with, is radioactivity. The only real differences here are the fact that an earthquake and tsunami were act the heart of the disaster, not an atomic bomb. Otherwise, those filmmakers were very prescient.
I keep hoping that this will all just go away. The situation can't possible be as dire as I am thinking it might be. I was having some pretty awful thoughts about not being able to cap an oil gusher at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. The situation in Japan is much, much worse. I really don't even want to consider the possibility of the "worst-case scenario."

Are there other photos available? I was wondering whether there's a yellow streak on its back.
I saw no yellow streak, but you can order the optional flight suit with the push-up cod piece.
I hear that when you wind it up, it does nothing.
