Makeup Academy Professional a.k.a MUA released this lovely lovely palette. The famous NAKED's palette (by Urban Decay) DUPE! The colours between the MUA Undressed palette and Urban Decay Naked palette are almost exactly the same. If you are looking for a "drugstore" and "not expensive" version of the Naked palette then Undressed is the best choice in my opinion.
~Review on my EYE~
~Eyeshadows I used on my eye~
|My favorite shades of this palette
The one thing that I'm a Lil bit disappointed about is that it irritates my eye when I wear my contact lenses. This is a huge problem for me because I wear my contact lenses all the time and especially if I have make-up on. But if I put it on without my contact lenses then everything is fine! I'm going to try it with different brand of contact lenses though. Because I like these colours very much <3
But to be honest with all of you I'd prefer the Urban Decay versions of these shades.
So, Thank you for reading and feel free to comment your opinions about this palette or anything else!

Traumatic when these things happen… sorry to hear this Mark. Buy your wife a gorgeous dress and take her out for dinner all week. 🙂
Thanksgiving (Dinner) On Hold
I guess this is one way of getting out of cooking for Thanksgiving. Everything on the inside of most of the bottom floor of our house is covered in plastic. No, we haven't been hit by the plague. More like a flood. A pipe busted in our kitchen this morning, and before you could yell "Titanic", water was everywhere.
You know what? An inch of water isn't good on wood floors. So workers are tearing them up. Power tools have replaced kitchen appliances for a while. And we're eating dust for dinner.
Inconvenient? Sure. But it's not like we're going to jump off the Titanic (even though that's a picture below of my wife sitting in the pantry with a finger pointed to her head). And it probably saved a turkey's life. My wife loves to cook for Thanksgiving. In fact, she scolded me for not picking up "The Pioneer Woman's" cookbook when I interviewed her last week ("Meeting The Pioneer Woman: Just Don't Make Me Cook"). "Don't you know it would have been perfect for Thanksgiving?", she gobbled. Ah, see it all worked out, didn't it?

Diary of a Hip Hop, Rap, and R&B Fan/Relentless Hustler…continuation…
Dream the Impossible!!!
By Steve Clenor, BA, MSMS
I was born with imagination, intelligence, great-work ethic, and the mind-set that anything is possible. Some of the people reading this might quickly roll their eyes and reach the conclusion that I'm just dreaming. Well, I am dreaming, and no, I don't want to be woken-up. Truthfully, I would hate to be the type of person who co-signs to the mentality that some things are beyond my reach and are impossible to attain. They say if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. Along side the previous statement, I would say, if you have no goals and dreams in life, there's no point of living. Now, I'm not saying you have to share my passion for wanting to have something to call your own that you've built from scratch. However, I would very much suggest that life is more meaningful when you've decided there's something you want and you're going after it. You may not ever get what it is you're reaching for, but the journey in chasing and trying to catch the object of your yearning is at times the best parts of your life. Once again, don't get me wrong, I do not mean that not reaching your goal is more fulfilling than reaching your goal, just saying the road travelled, grind, and experiences during the process are the most memorable part.
With that said, let me dream the impossible dream. I've never understood the reasoning behind showing lack of support to those around you whom are trying to do something positive for themselves. There's no way to explain not having dreams of your own, but it's definitely weak to try and knock someone else for wanting something you either don't understand or lack the intensity to go after it yourself. When I decided to stop "I wish I could", and started doing, that's when I started seeing the endless possibilities of what I can do. In just a short-time, I have put together two brands that are gaining momentum on the streets and social media. In all honesty, there were somethings at the beginning that I didn't feel comfortable doing myself. However, I soon realized that was just self-doubt, and I kicked that thought process to the curb and got on my grind, now I'm involve in every aspect of growing my brands. After all, no one will care for or work as hard as me to shine a good light on my brands than me. Lately, I've been thinking carefully before reacting or agreeing to anything, as whatever I choose today affects my brands tomorrow. When I decided to get my hands dirty and do the hard work, that's when I started seeing progress. Your history is based on your present, so make it count.

Technologies because the Enabler of Results: The Union of Standards and Resources
The connection with Gould, in which Digital Dispatcher provides real-time intelligence about fleet management and point-of-sale (POS) processing, is important to this broader conversation about preserving a company's values though forwarding its long-term objectives with new technologies.
In this instance, Android tablets or smartphones - installed in every truck, to capture data from existing electronic registers - give Gould's customers real-time intelligence in regards to the completion of a transaction along with a vehicle's location, wirelessly relaying pertinent fleet management content material to a specified dispatcher and billing employees.
Notice, also, that the integration of these tasks, such as the usage of this tool by a company's accounting staff, makes a company much more communicative when eliminating paperwork; it unites workers and managers, not in an adversarial or intrusive style, but within a copacetic marriage of cooperation and fidelity towards precisely the same goal: Results.
Study much more here on Service Technician dispatch.
That good results, which other enterprises can emulate, is about honoring eternal virtues (of leadership, honesty and decency) throughout the evolution of technologies. If a enterprise balances these forces - if it reconciles these critical principles, on the one particular hand, and important powers, around the other - then the outcome will probably be a case study in excellence.
To my fellow executives, I have just five words of assistance: Stay true for your roots. For, because the pictures fade and patriarchs slip the surly bonds of earth, what remains - what shall endure - is often a name. That name, your name, is a commodity worthy on the utmost protection, sustained by action and reinforced by technologies.

WRS is the most wonderful networking group in the world. I tell everyone (and there are lots of WRS members in my book, The Wealthy Spirit). WRS works forever, too - the night before one of my 8-week Financial Stress Reduction tele-classes was due to start, I got a call from a woman who said, "You might not remember me, but I met you 8 years ago at WRS. Are you still doing that financial workshop? My husband and I want to come!" And they signed up and started classes the next day. So always remember that your WRS ships you launched years ago are still out there and you never know when they are going to sail into your port! Thanks for everything, Nancy. Love you!

Stairway comes from the land of Saxon and Iron Maiden, the country of England. Interregnum is the title of their latest album, which by all accounts is their fifth release and the first collection of compositions in four years. Stairway has been built a lasting fan base since their debut, which seems like eons ago, in 1993.
Of immediate notice to me is the vocal prowess of Graeme Leslie. He has just enough grit and the ability to deliver a vocal line with smooth strength. He sings unlike so many other vocalists today who can't hold a tune and hide it by screaming/gurgling their vocal lines.
On Interregnum Leslie and crew continue in the vain of traditional metal that they have become known for. You won't find any trends or flavor of the moment trappings on this disc. This is straight out traditional heavy metal with some melodic trappings. In addition to those rich vocals Graeme handles the bass playing, Pete Jennens seems to be on a mission out to destroy his six string axe by setting his fret board on fire. His soloing falls into a somewhat neo-classical style. Andy Edwards rounds out the trio on drums.
Opening with a mid tempo pounder entitled 'The Suffering Servant'; you immediately are introduced to the style of metal Stairway play. Straight ahead with minimal frills in the arranging department, just lots of metallic mayhem that would entrap any unsuspecting listener.
'I'm Calling,' 'Ride the Wind,' 'Enter the Light' all deliver a biting crunch that will get your head swaying. You'll find good melodies offered with passion and authenticity. They will snatch you and find a place within your metal atmosphere.
I will say though, it does seem at times that the songs have a sort of 'samey' feel. Upon closer inspection, I believe that happens because many of the songs have the same tempo. The arranging could be part of the issue as well, the songs are not bad, but at certain points it starts to feel a bit tedious.
This is in no way a reflection on the musicianship of the band; it's quite obvious that they are accomplished players in their own right. Graeme even adds keyboard parts in places, most noticeably on 'New Life.' This slight change of pace does mix things up a bit which brings some freshness to this release.
The production is average, yet it feels at times that the rhythm guitar gets lost without clarity. Whether this was an issue of tone or engineering is unclear to me, it strikes me that perhaps some breathing room would help.
On the whole this is a solid heavy metal album with everything a discerning metal head could hope for. Good songs, blistering solos and great vocals. If you're a fan of 80's heavy metal such as early Saxon, Iron Maiden, Riot you're probably gonna want to check it out.

This year�s Annual Town Election April 15 will still take place at Nantucket High School and not at the new Veterans of Foreign Wars post on New South Road as proposed last month, but the VFW could still be considered as a polling place for future elections.
The Board of Selectmen voted Wednesday to keep this year�s election at the mid-island high school on Surfside Road, but Selectmen are considering gauging voter interest as they leave the polls in April.

Well, I successfully completed another page in my book art journal this week. It is quite sombre, as the abstract noun I was exploring this week was 'despair'.
I worked with my Derwent Inktense Pencils this week. The bricks took a bit of time, so I've actually been working on this for a couple of days.
I used a light brush of gesso just around abouts where I thought the bricks would end up being, and kind of just built on from that. I used Dylusions black marble spray ink for the text.
I'm really trying to explore different areas of creativity by focussing on a word and having the design grow as an extension of that word. I hope I'll be back soon with another one :)
Thanks for stopping by

We are looking at our next pick of home rower and this comes in as the HCI Fitness Sprint Outrigger Scull Rowing Machine - so it has one hell of name but is it a good rower? That is what we are here to find out so, first we will look at the features of this rower.
The HCI Outrigger rowing machine gives you a high quality piston rowing machine with 12 levels of hydraulic resistance, the product is also advertised as having strong commercial grade cylinders and a trait that seems present in all of the rowers that we have reviewed this one folds up into an compact unit for storage.
With the rower you also get an LCD unit that will show you time, stroke and total strokes as well as calories burned.
An interesting aspect of the HCI rower is that there is no plastic to be seen and the equipment is made totally out of metal. The unit is also easy to put together and the seat is padded and seems firm enough when you sit on it.
One thing you should bear in mind with the rower is that the hydraulic pistons do provide a lot of resistance so even at level 1 you need a fair amount of strength to use it. Now this is great if you are looking for a strength workout and if you consider yourself strong and looking to push to the next limit then this is for you.
The pistons do get hot if you use this machine for a reasonable amount of time. The only other thing about the HCI Sprint Scull Rower is that the LCD display is quite basic. It will tell you calories, strokes and total strokes but that is it. So if you are looking for a more in depth LCD you will not find it here.
The main pros of this rower is that if you are focusing on brute strength or you find that the other rowers do not give you the resistance you need then this is the one for you.
If you are just starting out this rower may be too heavy duty.
The good part is that through the link here, you can save a whopping $219 off the RRP of the HCI Fitness Sprint Outrigger Scull Rowing Machine!
Characteristics & Technical specs:
High-quality piston rowing machine; 12 levels of hydraulic resistance Strong, commercial-grade cylinders Quickly folds into an ultra-compact unit LCD display shows you time, stroke count, total strokes, and calories

Leaders Appear to Snicker as Trump Calls on NATO Allies to Pay Their 'Fair Share'
President Donald Trump spoke at the NATO headquarters in Brussels on Thursday and asked NATO members to pay their fair share, a message that didn't appear to sit well with some of the leaders in attendance.
Trump noted the U.S. has spent more on defense over the past eight years than all other NATO members combined, calling on them to spend more than the current two percent-of-GDP threshold on defense.
"NATO members must finally contribute their fair share and meet their financial obligations," the president said before all 27 other foreign ministers, noting that "23 of the 28 member nations" are failing to meet the two percent commitment.
While Trump delivered his remarks, the Prime Minister of Luxembourg, Xavier Bettel, appeared to snicker to French President Emmanuel Macron while covering his mouth.
Other leaders, such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, also appeared to be containing laughter during Trump's speech, Neil Cavuto said on "Your World" this afternoon.
Cavuto said these leaders who were "snickering" and "laughing" at Trump and "treating him like a pariah" in the group photo will now have to explain their actions to the president of the United States.
"It is more than President Trump, it is about the country he represents and the leadership we have as head of this organization," Cavuto said.

The Bullet's forward, Mitch Young not only dominates on the court but happens to know his way around the rod too. His love of fishing was sparked at the early age of 10, when he would head out on the water with his grandfather.
When he's not training, you'll most likely find Mitch offshore chasing his next catch. He share with us some of his favourite spots to fish off reefs near Moreton Island.

Are you a fan of Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson? or any of the new...young pups, then you are probably a fan of golf in general, or at least American Golf. There are now some great golfing holidays in America and aroung the world as golfing holidays have become one of the fastest growing sectors of the travel industry.
Tiger Woods is pretty well a star worldwide, but is considered one of the best athletes in all of American sports. The reason is because he has dominated like no other person has in any other sport. Whilst Michael Jordan was superb it is debatable whether or not Tiger Woods has had more impact on his sport than Michael Jordan did on basketball.
Tiger Woods is known for being a powerhouse in the PGA Tour, the premier professional league that is responsible for operations of the professional golf tour.
The PGA championship is a golf tournament held each year. It is one of four major championships and is the last one held in the year. This championship alone carries a purse of at least $8,000,000. This championship is typically held in August. The location varies between different courses throughout the United States.
The Masters is also one of the major championships. It is held each year on the same course in Augusta, Georgia. It is also scheduled the same each year for the first weekend of a full week in April. The Masters has a little bit bigger purse with 8,500,000 up for grabs by the professionals.
After the Masters the professional golfers get a month off to rest and then are back at it again in June for the U.S. Open. Much like the PGA championship, the course can vary but courses are supposed to be in a condition that is very difficult to put up good numbers. Tiger Woods broke the Par Record for any U.S. Open in 2000 with -12. The prize money usually matches that of the PGA championship.
Last but not least, no one can forget 'The Open Championship'. This championship is older than any other of the four major championships for men's golf. Of the four, this is the only one held outside of the United States. The R&A is the organizer of this tournament which is the governing group for golf outside of the United States and Mexico.
The Open Championship is always held one of nine popular and historic courses in the UK. It is also the tournament that has the biggest cash prize. Again, Tiger Woods is recognized as setting a record of -19 on the course in 2000. This is also the record for all major tournaments in professional men's golf. Tiger Woods has won this tournament three times. In 2000, 2005, and 2006.
The growth of these golf competitions has encouraged people to come on vacation to America and watch their favourite golf stars compete. In addition many people now take a golf vacation in America and play the sport that they love on their vacation.

What To Exclude From Your Online Dating Page
We all know how fast the use of internet dating sites has risen over the last few years or so. They have grown because they easily allow you to look for, connect to, and build up any kind of liaison that you'd like with other online users. The problem is that to exploit these advantages, you have to build a profile on your desired online dating web site.
When it comes to meeting other singles online it's your profile that is most important. This is because, generally, users of internet dating sites are looking to find someone who has the same aspirations, opinions, values, and passions as they do. Having no personal profile, it makes it difficult or impossible to tell what your interests are. Because of this online dating profiles are essential to your success in online dating.
When it comes to web dating profiles, the usual thought is what should your profile page include or display. The most effective tool is your picture, as well as detailed personal information. Although a picture and your personal details may help to increase your page views, you may be getting views that you 'd want to avoid. Although you're not aware of it, most internet dating sites do not have restrictions on who can view your personal profile. In fact, all internet users not only those that belong to your online dating site, can easily see your profile.
Since anyone, literally anyone, can see your internet dating profile, on most online personals, you are advised to be cautious. In practice it means you should not only focus on what you should put in your internet dating profile, you should also focus on what not to put.
Like I mentioned already, pictures are often recommended with internet dating sites. It's your choice what kind of picture you'll be posting in your online profile, but you are advised to choose your picture very carefully. You want it to be your best look, but it is not recommended to choose a picture where you look too revealing or seductive. While most users of internet dating sites don't give much thought to these types of pictures, there could certain types that take them the wrong way.
When you make the decision to post a picture on your match making profile, don't forget about the rest of the facts that you include. Although a picture itself won't make any harm, combined with your name and address, it could become significant. Therefore, it may be wise to only use a nick name in your dating profile. This will make it practically impossible to make any connection outside the dating site to yourself for someone who doesn't already know you.
It is usually wise to choose your location carefully. Quite a few of internet dating sites need you to select a major city, along with a state. Where it is allowed, it may be recommended that you list your state without your city. If you need to list both, you might like to think of utilizing a town near by, especially if your home is in a small town. This is an excellent tactic to enhance your safety online.
In addition to the above measures, it may be advisable not to put detailed information about your real job, the location of your home or your income. By keeping these and the above mentioned points in mind, you should be able to enjoy internet dating with consummate ease and confidence.

Commanding a Mission to Mars: HI-SEAS Mission V
What is it like to live on Mars for 8 months? Join James Bevington and UNSW Engineering on 19th February to find out! James will share his experiences commanding HI-SEAS V, a six-person simulated mission to Mars funded by NASA. You'll learn about the habitat, crew members' schedules, available resources, and of course the research programs the mission contributed to.
About HI-SEAS
HI-SEAS (Hawai'i Space Exploration Analog and Simulation) is a habitat on an isolated Mars-like site atop Mauna Loa in Hawai'i. HI-SEAS V was an 8-month Mars analog isolation mission that started in January 2017. The mission's aim was to determine the individual and team requirements for long-duration space exploration missions, including travel to Mars. The isolated and confined conditions, including 20-minute communication delays and partial self-sufficiency, were designed to be like those of a planetary surface exploration mission. Mission crew performed daily exploration tasks such as geological fieldwork and life systems management.
About James Bevington
James Bevington is a PhD student with UNSW Engineering, studying with Associate Professor Mike Manefield. His current research efforts focus on studying the effects of spaceflight on microbes. He is working on the MMARS experiment which aims to research methane production in space. This work may provide insights into the methane cycle on Mars and lead to in situ resource utilisation technologies.

Cap: 8-15 mm broad. Yellow brown to olive brown. Fading to a pinkish buff. Yellow brown when dry.
Gills: Ascending. Cinnamon brown with white edges. Lighter than Psilocybe silvatica.
Stem: 60-80 mm long x 1.2.5 mm thick. Pale. Cream to brown in age. Covered with white filaments. Larger at base.
Spores: 9.3-13 x 5-7µ.
Sporeprint: Purplish brown.
Habitat: Scattered to gregarious to cespitose on well-decayed conifer substratum and in mulch and soil rich in lignin. Prefers alder woodchips or bark mulch.
Distribution: West of the Cascades in Southern Oregon along the western coast of the Pacific Northwest into British Columbia, Canada. Also reported from from northern california hnear the Oregon border; Idaho; New York; Ontario, Canada and Scandinavia and possibly northern Europe.
Season: Late September through December. Sometimes in January,
Dosage: 20 to 40 fresh mushrooms or from 2-4 grams dried. moderately weak Approximately 10-14 doses per fresh pound and loses about 50% psiocine in drying.
Comment: This small Psilocybe is very much somewhat similar to Psilocybe silvatica and sometimes is mistaken by amateur collectors as Psilocybe semilanceata (the liberty cap). This species fruits abundantly along logging roads where cedar is logged out and alders grow and the fungi appear in veins where the bulldozers meshed the small logs, stems, trigs, branches and such into sawdust and mixed bark and wood chip mulches. Common in clear cuts and pilings in the Pacific Northwest after 2-3 years of initial logging point. At times, some clear cuts in a 2-4-year period can spread in a particular area from two blocks of clearing up to a 30-mile deep cut after 4-years. I have seen hundreds of pounds of this species in the region of Kingston-Paulsboro, Bremerton to Kingston and Kingston to Port Orchard in Washington State, fruiting magnificently in clear cuts as far from Kingston to Port Angeles area of Washington state. Also appears in roadside mulched areas and parks. Always in Alder. Rarer now than 20-years ago. Prior to my discoveries in the rain forests of Washington in the mid to late 1970s, I had read in the mycological literature that Psilocybe pelliculosa was known of in the same clear cuts around Lake Takinitch in Oregon. While this species and its close relative Psilocybe silvatica grow side-by-side and macroscopically are similar, they are both relatively weak in tryptamine alkaloid content. In the clear cuts they can grow in veins with veins running up and down the mountain crevices and the bulldozed areas prior to a burn off. I should warn those who seek mushrooms in clear cuts to avoid sprayed areas. About six-years-ago, I and a friend from the Shroomery web-site were hunting along Old Kingston Highway and we saw two different helicopters flying overhead with large blue tarps and they were dumping liquids into a clear cut area where we had a permit to go into. At some of the unlocked logging gates, often frequented by young adults on dirt bikes who bring their friends or girlfriends out to the woods to smoke some herb, play together and also have many who come to target practice as elder locals have appeared where I and friends were picking loaded down with 6 or more boxes of ammo and 4-5 small guns or rifles. There are a lot of dumped ice boxes, refrigerators, stoves, etc., in the woods off the logging roads where such NRA types go target shoot. The other problem associated with clear cuts is that as of about 8-years-ago, 90% of all clear cuts became illegal. Waerhauser land which owns a majority of clear cuts where alder mulch's lifestyles began now sell mushroom picking permits for $35.00 dollars a permit that allows pickers to annually enter 3-specific areas of their woods to pick edible mushrooms. When those who have edibles leave a logging area along the Oregon and Washington Coastal region, there are now suddenly dozens of parked vehicles waiting for mushroom pickers to leave the woods and then they attempt to try to purchase everyone's mushroom collections. That way it saves a picker a trip to the public market. Many states now also have laws regarding picking mushrooms, magic or edibles from public, private, and/or Federal lands and Parks. After two to three years in a clear cut, the nutrients in the wood chips and mulches are usually consumed by the mycelia and so the shrooms do not return, especially in man-made environments. And Psilocybe pelliculosa as well as Psilocybe silvatica have been collected in such man-made urban and suburban environments, they are rare and never last more than a single fruiting in any given park or roadside area where they grow prolifically. If one walks ten feet into the rain forest from off the trail alongside the clear cut area one is gathering mushrooms at, then they completely disappear. In man-made environments they are abundant. In their natural habitat they are extremely rare.

Those who know basil have heard about its other names, the holy basil or the sacred tulsi cultivated across a number of countries for close to 5000 years. While growing basil indoors is a lucrative activity and an easier way of doing it, the heard has been cultivated and produced for a very long time in such areas as India, Iran and Asia until it became a famous and popular herb due to its beneficial properties. You will find that over 60 or so varieties of the herb have been grown and adapted to natural production but some such as the Italian large leaf and Genovese are some varieties easy to grow. The Thai basil is also another but contains an anise flavor although a mild one, while it is also a little bit sweeter as compared to the variety from Italian. Also, the purple basil variety is deemed as the purple ruffles and seen as the best mostly for projectsaimed at growing basil indoors.
With the basil you can be sure of helping the body in the building of resistance against diseases through the development of a better immunity. There are immediate effects of basil and long ones, adding into health improvement and overall healing.
You must also make sure that within the room the herb is grown in, warmth is maintained all the way through. This is because growing basil indoors where temperatures are below 50 degrees F usually ends up hurting the herb. Remember that while avoiding drafts is important, it also needs some much needed air circulation. The area or air the plant is grown must always be light while any thickness should be followed by the run of a fan that moves slowly to have air circulation harnessed.
Another thing worth remembering is that lighting affects the growth of plants indoors. Since basil enjoys so much light, around 6-8 hours of light daily, you must choose the location carefully, while remembering that even too much light might not be that good. Growing basil indoors must be ensured by the fact that a sunny location must be provided, with the plant mostly not in the full glare of sunlight.
Remember soil is also important when it comes to all plants that you deem to grow within the house and basil requires soil that is well drained and rich if it is to thrive. For more information call us now (502-568-5675)

He is the president of Coyote Moon, Inc. Updated March 19, 2017 Image2icon from Shiny Frog is an icon creation tool that you can use to create custom icons for folders, drives, files, just about any Finder item on your Mac. Unlike some competing icon utilities that take a very complex and detailed approach to creating icons, Image2icon allows anyone to make icons from a favorite image. Pro Simply drag and drop to create an icon.Batch processing using multiple images.Image tweaking tools to customize the icon.Can create ICNS, Folder, iOS, and Android icon formats.Can apply the created icon automatically.Retina support.Pro version offers additional templates and icon type support. Cons Limited image manipulation capabilities.Most icon templates only available in the pro version. I've always enjoyed customizing my Mac to meet my needs, and that's not limited to adding memory or storage volumes. It includes customizing my desktop, adding screen savers, and perhaps one of my favorites, creating custom icons for the drive icons that sit on my desktop. Outfitting each drive with its own custom icon not only helps make my desktop unique and colorful, it also makes it easier to quickly select the correct drive by its unique icon. Image2icon automates the process of creating icons, letting anyone, including those of us who aren't graphic artists, produce reasonable quality, if not downright good-looking, icons for our own use. Using Image2icon As the app's name implies, you can use just about any image as the starting point for your icon. Simply drag the image onto the Image2icon window, and the app will produce a complete icon set with multiple icon sizes, from 16x16 all the way up to 1024x1024. Image2icon automatically scales your image to each of the icon sizes that your Mac expects to have available in an icon set. For that reason it's best, although not required, to start with images that are at least 1024x1024 for Retina-quality icons, and 512x512 for Macs with a standard display. Once the image is dropped onto the app's open window, a representation of the icons that can be created is displayed. The examples shown include many template types, such as rounded icon, centered document, stamp, and drive, which are only available from the pro version. The pro templates are nice, and I suggest springing for the pro version just for the ease of using the templates. But even if you're only going to use the free version, Image2icon has enough features to let you create the icons you want. You can use the image editing utilities to move the image horizontally or vertically from its default centered position. You can also rotate the image 360 degrees, or zoom in to magnify it. You can also change the background color for images that don't take up the full display space. Applying the Icon Once you have an icon you're happy with, you have two choices for applying it. The easiest method is to drag the target file or folder to the Image2icon app window; the app will automatically apply the icon for you. The second method is to use the export function to generate one of the supported icon file types. For Mac users, that would be ICNS or Folder. In the case of ICNS, an ICNS icon file will be created, which you can then apply to any Finder item by simply dragging the ICNS file onto the icon thumbnail image in the item's Get Info window (see Personalize Your Mac by Changing Desktop Icons for details). If you choose the Folder method, Image2Icon will create an empty folder with the icon applied to it. You can copy the thumbnail image in the Get Info window from one item to another. Pro Features The pro version of Image2icon is available in two levels. Templates ($5.99): Provides all of the high-quality templates that are locked away in the free version, and allows the automatic application of icons to work for all file and disk types. Export ($5.99): Unlocks the additional export types that let you create icons for Windows, Favicons for web use, and basic JPG and PNG file outputs. You can also purchase both for $9.99, and have all of the pro tools at your fingertips. Final Thoughts Image2icon is designed for those of us who want to have custom icons to dress up our Macs, but who don't have the time or ability to use professional graphics tools to create them. In this role, Image2icon, especially the free version, is a winner, taking care of almost all of the image creation process for us. All you need to do is select an image, and the app will take care of the rest. If you would like to add a bit more pizzazz to your icons, then the pro version with the additional templates or export capabilities may be a better choice. Image2icon is free. Pro versions are available from $5.99 to $9.99. See other software choices from Tom's Mac Software Picks. Published: 8/1/2015 Continue Reading

When it comes to trying a new class as a newbie, it's important to be safe, as doing improper form and not following the instructions can put you at risk of injury. Unfortunately, as a beginner, you probably just don't know what it is you're doing wrong. That's where the instructor comes in.
As a group fitness instructor and trainer, it's important to be vigilant of the room, taking note of how everyone is doing during the workout. If someone isn't doing a move properly, or he or she looks too fatigued or queasy, it could be a major red flag that an accident might happen. And, even if that person doesn't get injured, he or she could have a horrible class experience and might feel too insecure to come back again. People who are just starting out on the wellness path need to be eased into it.
Luckily, here are a few tips from a trainer on how to make sure everyone is having a great time in class and is out of harms way.
Tell Them It's OK to Take Breaks
"Listen to your body, if you need to recover before the rest of us, do so! It is your first class and we want you to be safe," says Astrid Swan, celebrity trainer and instructor at Barry's Bootcamp in Los Angeles, California. She likes to preface to people in class that's it's okay to slow down when needed or take a pause. Just because others are more advanced, it doesn't mean you need to push yourself to a limit that you're not comfortable with.
Speak to New People Before Class Starts
It's a good idea to check for new people beforehand and show up early for a quick chat. If the new people arrive during class, but you don't recognize their faces, you can then introduce yourself or express that it's okay to for new people to ask questions or seek help when needed.
"I try to show up to my class 15 minutes before it starts to familiarize myself with the class attendance. You can ask any of my clients that I keep tabs on everyone. I know about the knee that has been bothering them, new shoes being worn, coming off a cold, stressful day at work, etc. I also ask the front desk for the names of the new clients attending class," she says.
However, usually she can spot them. "I talk to each person and explain the workout, the expectation, the 'crazy' that will come out of me, etc. We were all once brand new and it is my job to make sure that you are comfortable in this uncomfortable situation," Swan says.
Recommend That New People Arrive Early
This can be noted on class registration forms, so new people will see the recommendation prior to attending through email or text. "I can not stress enough how important it is for new people to show up early! To walk into my class that is jam packed with loud music and a high intensity, you are thrown to the wolves," she says.
"Give me the opportunity to learn your name, find out what your current fitness regime is like (and it is totally okay if it is nothing!) and if you have anything that bothers you. I won't forget your name and I will check in with you for modifications and improvement as we continue training together," she says.
Constantly Scan the Room and Stand Center
As a trainer, you'll want to stand in the middle of the room or move around throughout the space, if possible. You'll need to look around at everyone performing the exercises, especially the newcomers, and pay attention to people's reflections in the mirrors.
"If you have ever trained with me, you know that I am a stickler for form. Nothing gets passed me, sometimes to the demise of my clients who were hoping to get a reprieve," she says. "When I am teaching a group class, I am constantly scanning the room and scanning each client from head to toe. I often position myself in the center of the room to make sure I have the best view and use the mirrors to help assist me," she says.
The takeaway? Welcome new people but make sure you give them adequate attention. You'll want to keep them safe and maybe even persuade them to become regulars!

The Frog King or Iron Heinrich
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
In olden times, when wishing still did some good, there lived a king whose daughters were all beautiful, but the youngest was so beautiful that the sun itself, who, indeed, has seen so much, marveled every time it shone upon her face. In the vicinity of the king's castle there was a large, dark forest, and in this forest, beneath an old linden tree, there was a well. In the heat of the day the princess would go out into the forest and sit on the edge of the cool well. To pass the time she would take a golden ball, throw it into the air, and then catch it. It was her favorite plaything.
Now one day it happened that the princess's golden ball did not fall into her hands, that she held up high, but instead it fell to the ground and rolled right into the water. The princess followed it with her eyes, but the ball disappeared, and the well was so deep that she could not see its bottom. Then she began to cry. She cried louder and louder, and she could not console herself.
As she was thus lamenting, someone called out to her, "What is the matter with you, princess? Your crying would turn a stone to pity."
She looked around to see where the voice was coming from and saw a frog, who had stuck his thick, ugly head out of the water. "Oh, it's you, old water-splasher," she said. "I am crying because my golden ball has fallen into the well."
"Be still and stop crying," answered the frog. I can help you, but what will you give me if I bring back your plaything?"
"Whatever you want, dear frog," she said, "my clothes, my pearls and precious stones, and even the golden crown that I am wearing."
The frog answered, "I do not want your clothes, your pearls and precious stones, nor your golden crown, but if you will love me and accept me as a companion and playmate, and let me sit next to you at your table and eat from your golden plate and drink from your cup and sleep in your bed, if you will promise this to me, then I'll dive down and bring your golden ball back to you."
"Oh, yes," she said, "I promise all of that to you if you will just bring the ball back to me." But she thought, "What is this stupid frog trying to say? He just sits here in the water with his own kind and croaks. He cannot be a companion to a human."
As soon as the frog heard her say "yes" he stuck his head under and dove to the bottom. He paddled back up a short time later with the golden ball in his mouth and threw it onto the grass. The princess was filled with joy when she saw her beautiful plaything once again, picked it up, and ran off.
"Wait, wait," called the frog, "take me along. I cannot run as fast as you." But what did it help him, that he croaked out after her as loudly as he could? She paid no attention to him, but instead hurried home and soon forgot the poor frog, who had to return again to his well.
The next day the princess was sitting at the table with the king and all the people of the court, and was eating from her golden plate when something came creeping up the marble steps: plip, plop, plip, plop. As soon as it reached the top, there came a knock at the door, and a voice called out, "Princess, youngest, open the door for me!"
She ran to see who was outside. She opened the door, and the frog was sitting there. Frightened, she slammed the door shut and returned to the table. The king saw that her heart was pounding and asked, "My child, why are you afraid? Is there a giant outside the door who wants to get you?"
"Oh, no," she answered. "it is a disgusting frog."
"What does the frog want from you?"
"Oh, father dear, yesterday when I was sitting near the well in the forest and playing, my golden ball fell into the water. And because I was crying so much, the frog brought it back, and because he insisted, I promised him that he could be my companion, but I didn't think that he could leave his water. But now he is just outside the door and wants to come in."
Just then there came a second knock at the door, and a voice called out:
Youngest daughter of the king,Open up the door for me,Don't you know what yesterday,You said to me down by the well?
Youngest daughter of the king,Open up the door for me.
The king said, "What you have promised, you must keep. Go and let the frog in."
She went and opened the door, and the frog hopped in, then followed her up to her chair. He sat there and called out, "Lift me up next to you."
She hesitated, until finally the king commanded her to do it. When the frog was seated next to her he said, "Now push your golden plate closer, so we can eat together."
She did it, but one could see that she did not want to. The frog enjoyed his meal, but for her every bite stuck in her throat. Finally he said, "I have eaten all I want and am tired. Now carry me to your room and make your bed so that we can go to sleep."
The princess began to cry and was afraid of the cold frog and did not dare to even touch him, and yet he was supposed to sleep in her beautiful, clean bed.
The king became angry and said, "You should not despise someone who has helped you in time of need."
She picked him up with two fingers, carried him upstairs, and set him in a corner. As she was lying in bed, he came creeping up to her and said, "I am tired, and I want to sleep as well as you do. Pick me up or I'll tell your father."
With that she became bitterly angry and threw him against the wall with all her might. "Now you will have your peace, you disgusting frog!"
But when he fell down, he was not a frog, but a prince with beautiful friendly eyes. And he was now, according to her father's will, her dear companion and husband. He told her how he had been enchanted by a wicked witch, and that she alone could have rescued him from the well, and that tomorrow they would go together to his kingdom. Then they fell asleep.
The next morning, just as the sun was waking them, a carriage pulled up, drawn by eight horses. They had white ostrich feathers on their heads and were outfitted with chains of gold. At the rear stood the young king's servant, faithful Heinrich. Faithful Heinrich had been so saddened by his master's transformation into a frog that he had had to place three iron bands around his heart to keep it from bursting in grief and sorrow. The carriage was to take the king back to his kingdom. Faithful Heinrich lifted them both inside and took his place at the rear. He was filled with joy over the redemption. After they had gone a short distance, the prince heard a crack from behind, as though something had broken.
He turned around and said, "Heinrich, the carriage is breaking apart."No, my lord, the carriage it's not,But one of the bands surrounding my heart,That suffered such great pain,When you were sitting in the well,When you were a frog.
Once again, and then once again the prince heard a cracking sound and thought that the carriage was breaking apart, but it was the bands springing from faithful Heinrich's heart because his master was now redeemed and happy.

Our football match prediction:
Deepdale Stadium will host Monday's football game between Preston and Middlesbrough, the two teams who are eyeing a place in the Championship play-offs. Preston produced a splendid performance against Cardiff City at the weekend and they totally deserved to pick up all three points from the match. The Lilywhites have been impressive at the back of late and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence against Middlesbrough. Alex Neil's men aim to climb to the play-offs berth in the Championship standings and they are definitely capable of beating the Boro in front of home fans. Tony Pulis' charges suffered a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa in their last league fixture and we predict that they are going to return home empty-handed. The two teams played out a goalless draw at Riverside Stadium earlier this term, but we are tempted to put our money on the Lilywhites this time out.
Highlighted Player (Tom Clarke):
Tom Clarke is a defender who plays for Preston North End. He used to play for Huddersfield Town, Halifax (loan), Bradford City (loan) and Leyton Orient (loan) in the past and in May, 2013 he joined the Lilywhites. On 5 August, 2013 Clarke scored the winner for Preston against Blackpool and it has to be noted that it was his only second appearance for the club. Tom is Nathan Clarke's brother and his main position is centre back. However, the Preston footballer is capable of playing as both left and right back as well. Tom Clarke played for England U18 and U19 teams and he scored one goal for the national team at international youth level. Clarke won Football League One play-offs on two occasions. He did it with Huddersfield Town in 2012 and with Preston in 2015. He made 35 appearances for the Lilywhites in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign, but he failed to find the net.
Highlighted Team (Middlesbrough):
Middlesbrough are a professional football club that have been balancing between the top two divisions of England's league system in the modern history. Boro have been playing their home games at the Riverside Stadium since 1995 and their shirt colour is red. The capacity of the Riverside Stadium is 34,742. Middlesbrough impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and they did really well to secure promotion to the English top flight. Newcastle United and Sunderland are regarded as the club's main rivals, but there is a rivalry with Leeds United as well. Middlesbrough made it to the FA Cup final in 1997, but Chelsea proved to be a big catch for the Boro in the title game (0-2). However, the Riverside Stadium outfit did remarkably well to win the League Cup trophy in 2004, with the team beating Bolton Wanderers in the final. George Boateng, Stewart Downing, Juninho Paulista, Gareth Southgate, Jonathan Woodgate, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Tuncay Sanli and Hamilton Ricard are the star footballers who left their mark at Middlesbrough.

April 2015 JukeboxSunday, April 05, 2015
I have about 30-plus soundbites of tasty awesomeness headed to your buds right about now. Spring is here, but I realize some of us still have a bit of winter somewhere. This hour and forty-five minute playlist is a bouncy balance between the two. Here are a few of my favorite tracks this month:
Grace Mitchell - "Always & Forever"
"I heard you lefted town but you didn' call / I asked around, / sent the hounds / all I found was a bunch of tall tales / and my friends all say i told you / and I guess all dreams don't all come true."Her album cover caught my eye and her voice is phenomenal. If an attractive dude coming out of a pool on a summer day, one so hot that it makes you stop mid-call & go "gurrrrl, ima gunna have to call you back," can be written into song, it would be "Always & Forever". The video would be a modernized version of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" & preferably have me rolling around in the sand with said dude.
Marina & The Diamonds - "Blue"
"Gimme love, gimme dreams, gimme a good self esteem / Gimme good and pure, what you waiting for? / Gimme everything, all your heart can bring / Something good and true / I don't wanna feel blue anymore"YAAASSS, the Queen has returned. 'Froot' is nothing but outstanding and worth every second of the wait. I've never gone through a break-up, but I have been rejected and ghosted on (what's up with that guys? Stop, be men). This song, to me, is all about a relationship that you just can't shake. You're bored, it's wrong, it's tumultuous; but you can't let go. Marina has always impressed me with how she can mix pop with more gloomy topics that her genre barely touches.
Simon & Garfunkel - "El Condor Pasa (If I Could)"
"Away, I'd rather sail away / Like a swan that's here and gone / A man gets tied up to the ground / He gives the world its saddest sound."I'm surprised this song wasn't retained in my memory as well as it should've. I've listened to this duo over the years and I never caught on. I was watching "Wild" (so. good.) the other night and minus the emotional rollercoaster that I had that made me immediately want to kiss/call/cuddle/love my mother, this tune is one of the other things that really endured after the credits rolled. It's somber and beautiful.
Mother Mother - "Monkey Tree"
"Tied to the rat race, / A big bird in a small cage. / You're tied with a tightrope, / And you wiggle but it won't let go. / You wanna be a free bird,/ You wanna be a free lover, see / You gotta run from the shepherd. / Run, run away with me."Another album I've been waiting for is finally dropping this week. Mother Mother's 'Very Good Bad Thing'. Canadians are ruling this playlist, y'all! This video is so fun and I love the theatrics, drama and experimentation of this band. They're never quite ever in the same box, which is a very good (not bad) thing.
July Talk - "I've Rationed Well"
"As I walk to where I used to live / I try to remind myself of you / Telling lies / Felt right / Around you / Then I met a whiskey and I moved across town / Away from the river and the girls and you."I love this conversation between July Talk's singers, Peter Dreimanis and Leah Fay (pictured above). Fay's voice is gossamer and silky; almost translucent. Dreimanis then rumbles in, gnarled and leathery-sounding like Leonard Cohen. It's a marvelous juxtaposition. I imagine these two lovers, finally clear-headed about their relationship, but still having this dialogue unwillingly. Perhaps more time will solve this mess?

Why A Solid Friendship Is Crucial To The Foundation of Any Relationship
My latest feature on Madame Noire One of my favorite movies in the world is Brown Sugar.

Avoid The Regrets: My Rules for Dating in the Age of Social Media Overload

My latest feature on Madame Noire "Oh, you go to church? You know what they say about church girls…" is a phrase that I've come to despise over the years.

A Lesson On Overcoming Jealousy Once and For All

This sounds
weird insane to the average person, but after a full seven days of drinking juice, the mere pleasure one experiences from being able to have solid foods that require them to chew, is pretty much like offering them (read: me) a piece of chocolate cake. The first thing that I ate post- "World's Biggest Juice Detox" was a bowl full of watermelon and some yogurt. Now you may laugh at that, but it was probably THE best watermelon I've ever had in LIFE. Now, this watermelon was no ripper, no more organic, no more awesomer than the rest in the grocery produce section…. you may ask yourself, where the heck did she find this magical watermelon? HAH! Not in the juice aisle let me tell you.
Let me start this off by saying, I've always wanted to do a detox or cleanse of some sort, and after some debate with myself and a friend, I was still no closer to coming up with reasoning that leaned toward one detox or cleanse over the other. Then, my friend Kim suggested that we do this Juice Master cleanse.
Now I have no affiliation with Jason Vale, or the World's Biggest Juice Detox, nor have they asked me to do this review for them. These of course are all my own opinions.
The World's Biggest Juice Detox is where 20,000 people from more than 40 countries have pledged to follow Jason Vale's Juice Master (7lbs in 7 days) juice detox to lose over 100, 000 lbs collectively. This happened the second week of January for Kim, Andrea and I, but the detox has been extended for others to join until the end of this week. (You can click the link for more information on the detox if you feel so inclined :))
We started on Monday January 7th, and continued through until Monday January 14th at 8 am.
Losing weight was not my main premise for trying this, and as I mentioned before Kim had brought this detox to our attention after watching the movie Hunger for Change, and I have to admit that I was intrigued. (I have still yet to watch this movie, but it's on my list :)) I am not a healthy juice bar or smoothie type person to begin with, so I knew this was going to be quite the challenge for me already. I ended up losing 11lbs in the end, which was quite the feat. I also survived a bachelorette party on the Saturday, where my self-restraint was put to the test being around so many chocolate chips cookies, alcohol and many other wonderful temptations.
How did I feel during the juice detox? Let me take you through my thought process:
Day 1– Pumped up and raring to go!!! *high-fives self, and runs around yelling WOOOO HOOO I'm a juicing queen and does a juice dance* I don't even care that I'm waking up the neighbours with my loud juicer/blender combo juices because I'm so juicified. (this may contain a bit of sarcasm, but I really was excited to see if I could do this for a week.) I also learned on this day how to properly put the juicer together, after some of the pulp spewed out at me only to leave a nice horizontal line of pulp emblazoned across my chest branding me as Super Juicer extraordinaire.
Day 2– mmmmm juice. I wonder which of the juices will be my favourite? …… ewh… not that one that tastes like dirt.
Day 3– I have so much energy. I'm like a bunny. Nothing can get me down now *high-kicks* Who needs food to chew?? NOT ME! *chews juice to trick my body into feeling like I'm eating* This was also the third workout night of the week with my Femme Fitale boxing ladies and they were pretty excited for me and surprised that I wasn't lying on the floor in a permanent yoga savasana.
Day 4– Holy heck, I cannot find anything SUPER about the 'Super Juice' recipe, no matter how hard I try *squints at the juice*. I'm having a hard time this day in particular. I'm not feeling hungry, but I do not feel that burst of energy that I need to finish my 6k running clinic this evening. I manage to finish and suffer some awesome queasy feelings, and cannot finish my post-run juice for the evening. The smell of juice makes me feel more ill. I go to bed hungry, and disappointed in the run.
Day 5– FRIDAY!! We've made it… what's for dinner? More, JUICE! I stay in with a friend and make her also have some juice so that I am sharing and spreading the awesome trend of juicing. I want to eat anything at this point, maybe even a pine cone.
Day 6– I sleep in late, and miss a morning juice, probably on purpose subconsciously. I head to a movie with a friend, avoid the popcorn at the theatre, and then mosey on over to my friend's house who is planning the bachelorette party. I help her make chocolate chip cookies, and almost forget that I'm juicing and go to lick stray cookie dough off of my finger. Instead I examine the finger, and question why it's so automatic that I did that, and wash it off my hands.
I go home, make more juice for dinner, and even go the restaurant to meet everyone else after they're almost done their meals. This part surprisingly doesn't bother me at all.
Later on in the evening, I want to do jello shots and have fun with everyone else, unfortunately that type of 'juice' is not in the recipe for my evening juice.
At the bar a guy offers to get the bartender to put kale in the tequila shot he is trying to offer me, thereby making it 'juice'. My friend tells another group of guys I'm on a cleanse and one guy starts telling me about this whole food cleanse he did once, and some bodily functionalities that resulted because of said cleanse, so I politely excuse myself, while wanting to yell "TOO SOON!" as I feel our brief 2 minute friendship has clearly crossed so many lines it's not even funny. I go home a little hungry, most definitely tempted to cheat, but proud of myself. I had known this would be the hardest day of all, and I was right.
Day 7– The end is nigh. I do not want to drink anymore juice. I do not remember the feelings I had on Day 3, those feelings of lightness and happiness about juice. I actually HATE juice. My mom always told me growing up that 'hate' is a strong word, but in this case I really mean it. I drink about 3.5 of the 5 juices I'm supposed to drink on this day. I'm grumpy about juice and have little energy. This could be because of the lack of nutrients that I am being stubborn about drinking 😉
What this has taught me: Sometimes things will not be 'for you' but they will teach you things about yourself that you did not previously know. I'm always trying to gain more confidence when it comes to healthy eating and fitness and doing this detox has definitely helped me realize that I have a lot more will-power and dedication (when I really put my mind to it) than what I give myself credit for.
Surrounding myself with like-minded people (like my friends Kim and Andrea) definitely helped and I recommend this 'strength in numbers' tactic for anyone trying this detox or any detox for that matter. We would get together at work for our 2pm juice and we even had a Juicing group chat on WhatsApp to talk things out, and to encourage each other. Support is key and having people around you encouraging your goals amidst the 'food terrorists' ( who leave treats on your desk, or who try to sabotage you in any other way) is always a nice breath of fresh air.
Overall – I would have to say that it's obvious that the juicing lifestyle isn't for me. I think that it does help a lot of people and definitely does change the way that you look at food and nutrients. It makes you a lot more conscious of what your body needs and actually requires to function at it's best. It helps you realize that half the time you're eating way too much, and polluting your body with not so great foods sometimes. Now I'm not saying for me that my eating habits will always be 100% more awesome than before, because we all slip up sometimes, but it definitely will remind me to at least think before I chew.

'Anger, shock' as more than 220 jobs cut at Cadbury
MORE than 220 job losses as part of a major restructuring in Cadbury's Irish operations has been described as a "complete shock".
The redundancies will take place in Dublin and Kerry.
Among the plants affected is the Cadbury factory in Coolock - for decades one of the employment icons on the city's northside.
Staff were briefed by management from Mondelez Ireland, which owns chocolate-maker Cadbury and chewing gum brand Trident.
The company said it planned to close its chewing gum production plant in Tallaght, Dublin, which would result in the loss of 45 jobs.
An additional 17 contracted roles would also be affected.
It is also expected there will be 160 redundancies in its chocolate manufacturing plants in Dublin and Kerry.
These will be mainly from the Coolock factory and in the production unit based in the village of Rathmore.
A Siptu spokesman described the announcement of the job losses as "a complete shock".
The union has also alleged the company intends to move some of its chocolate production facility from Dublin to Poland in the near future.
Changing consumer patterns means that Cadbury's iconic pink Snack bars, and its equally well-known Time Out bars, may no longer be produced.
Mondelez Ireland said its Dublin facility would now concentrate on four of its key Cadbury brands.
This would involve an investment of €11.7m to upgrade existing technologies and production processes.
The workforce will be reduced as part of an overall efficiency programme being implemented by the company.
Mondelez plans to set up a series of consultation meetings with staff and their union representatives.
Fianna Fáil Senator Averil Power described the job losses as "a massive blow to Coolock and the surrounding area", which is already blighted by high unemployment.
She pointed out that generations of local people had worked in the Cadbury plant, and the consequences would be devastating for the local community.
She also said employees needed to know how long Jobs Minister Richard Bruton has known about the proposed redundancies, and what steps he had taken to try and persuade the company to change its mind.
"It there's a ribbon to be cut there's no shortage of ministers to do so, but when there's hard work to be done in saving existing jobs, they're found wanting," she said.
She said the minister should make a "last-ditch"' attempt to try to save these jobs. If this fails a special task force should be established to create alternative employment.
As the first trickle of Cadbury's employees trundled out of work shortly after 5pm, their ashen-faced expressions said it all.
There was a tangible pall of despondency as the workers trooped into the spring sunshine.
Every family from Coolock 'knows somebody who knows somebody' who has worked in the northside Dublin plant over the past three decades.
The factory complex has long been a centrepiece of community life in the region and surrounding areas, ever since it opened its doors in 1964.
For many of the families closely involved over the decades it has been more than just a place of work.
"It has such a history around here," said one clearly dispirited worker, convinced he is destined for the dole queue.
"These job losses are a bodyblow to the very fabric of life around here," he added.
News that 90 jobs are to be culled in the plant was delivered by management in a "no-nonsense manner", he said.
"They didn't mince their words and we were told straight out what was involved," he added.
While there were "mutterings" in recent weeks that "something was coming down the line", the sheer scale of the announcement took everyone by surprise.
Beyond the iron railings, at the edge of the factory, groups of workers stood in huddled silence.
Their shocked expressions told the story of the day.
And with production reportedly being transferred to Poland, some employees felt the announcement was a crude management tactic in a zealous "race to the bottom" to cut costs.
Others said it demonstrated a flagrant "disregard of dedication and hard work" shown by generations of workers.
"It's all about inflating their profits," said one worker, still clutching her hairnet after coming off the factory floor.
"We were told at a meeting earlier today that they want 90 people out.
"All that they care about is money - that's it," said another.
"There are lots of people in there who have young children. Others have been there over 30 years."
A number of long-term workers expressed concern that the Government is allowing the trend of outsourcing to escalate in various sectors of Irish industry.
"It is hard to reconcile these redundancies with the fact that our jobs will be shipped overseas," said another fatalistic employee.
But what appeared to rankle most - especially for those who have spent much of their working lives with the company - was a feeling that "years of loyal service" have counted for nought.
Alan O'Donnell, a father-of-three with over 13 years service, painted a grim picture of the consequences for the local community.
"It will affect the whole area of Coolock, because there are so many people with young families living a stone's throw from here. Putting it bluntly - too many lives are going to be destroyed by all of this. It's a game changer and the area will never be the same again."
