Look how shiny her hair is after the Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy!!! The hair has been blown dry the exact same way in both pictures. No product, no brush, and no flat iron!! In both pictures her hair was blown dry using only a blowdryer and fingers. The picture on the right was taken 72 hours after the Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy was performed and the hair was able to be shampooed. She now has the smooth, shiny, humidity-resistent hair that she has always wanted!! Seeing really is believing!!! Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy

PlatinumGames hits Japan with a space opera
When PlatinumGames released MadWorld it was specifically designed to cater to the Western market and thus was never released in Japan. It also might have had a little something to do with Japan's censorship laws and the copious amounts of blood and death in the game. Either way, Japan still lacks a game from the new publisher. That will all end when Infinite Space launches for the DS on June 11 in the land across the sea (and at some pont later here).
The RPG space opera will task players with piloting and creating spaceships in order to do battle with evil in a grandiose setting full of love, life and danger. Operatic enough for you? Well hold on to your fat lady and strap that viking hat down, because you'll be getting to play as Yuri, who starts as a crew member, but eventually works his way up the ranks and commands his own crew. Once you're tough enough in the single player story mode you can even take your ship online and do battle against your friends. If only it were Skies of Arcadia I'd be really excited.

Half marathon training has officially begun. I will have my monthly workouts posted if you want to follow along. Each week I will have two 3 mile runs and one long slow distance run and then I will have 3 days of circuit training. I am really hoping this will get me back into shape and help strengthen my knees again. I still find it amazing that you can work so hard to get to a healthy point and then in a matter of weeks lose it all and have to start from scratch again. Just goes to show that you should just keep moving forward instead of starting over. It's much easier.
Since baby J has gotten bigger pushing her outside in the jogging stroller is getting more difficult. So on Tuesdays I will be running on the treadmill. On Thursdays I will be running outside at 6:30 pm with a local running group. I did this for the first time this week and it was so HOT but it was good to get outside and be running with other people. On Sundays will be my long runs before church. Today I did not get up and out very early and it was 8 am before I made it out the door. It was already hot and humid. I need to make sure I am getting up earlier that this next week. I was soakin' wet by the time I was done. D was yesterday on her run too.
Today I ran 3.5 miles. I will increase my long run every week with a fall back run for recovery once a month. Nothing like training in the middle of summer but at least I am getting two runs a week outside. I am thrilled with that. My next half marathon will be in November.

I am sure you are thinking, "Oh another blog about food. I haven't seen that before." And you are absolutely right. There are too many blogs about food to even try to count. Why should I do one? What makes mine so special? Let me tell you what this blog will not be.
This is not a diet blog. While it is true that I often cook healthy, low-calorie meals and I have so far lost 55 pounds by changing the way I eat, two of my favorite ingredients are bacon and duck fat. If I have a recipe that calls for milk, I will always use full-fat, cream-on-top milk. My philosophy is that if your food is made right and completely satiating, then you won't over eat. It's when food is not hitting that sweet spot – when the flavors aren't deep enough or there isn't enough fat to truly satisfy your palate – that is when you eat too much because you are trying to feel satisfied. So carb-avoiding, fat-avoiding people beware: I will not show you "healthy" short cuts or how to cut out calories. The food I choose to eat is full flavor and if that means full fat, then so be it.
This is not a specialty or natural foods blog. You will not find me using vegetable substitutes for meat or obscure flours when I am baking. You will not find any special "gluten-free" recipes on this blog, unless they are naturally gluten free. I am an omnivore who likes tofu as much as she likes pork. Ok that's not true – I really love pork. But I do enjoy tofu – just not in the place of meat. On a cold and foggy San Francisco night, I love a great miso soup with chunks of tofu floating in that lovely salty, umami broth. I want the ingredients to be celebrated for what they are.
This is not a "frugal gourmet" or "cheap eats" blog. While I am still amazed at how little I spend to get the most amazing produce from my local farmer, I have been known to drop a bundle at the local cheese shop. I want to find the best, the most flavorful foods. Sometimes I can do that for $5 and sometimes it costs $100.
This is a blog about my obsession with food. It is about how my relationship with food has grown up as I have. This blog is about how through food, I worked through my depression, and even lost weight. It is about how my love of food and my admiration for all those who work to put the food on my plate has opened up the world for me. This blog is my journey to find community through food. Thank you for joining me for the ride.

Forgotten Identity-Or the day my dad forgot who I was.
A few weeks ago, I was having lunch with my dad laughing it up, having a good time, when he leaned in and said in a very formal voice, "Ma'am?" I knew in that moment my dad forgot who I was. My father has Alzheimer's disease and each time I am with him, I notice how a bit more of him slipped away. I relocated him to Tennessee a little over a year ago so he would be closer to me since I am responsible for his care. Consequently, I have been able to spend more time with him before the disease takes him away completely.
I have to say that there is something unnerving about your parent not recognizing you. It is not a consistent thing right now, yet I know that event was a foreshadowing of what's coming. I find myself looking at how I define myself and what life will be like without his presence. Who will I be the day when he looks at me and asks me my name?
There is a verse in Jeremiah 1:5 that goes, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you…" That line brings me such comfort as I reversed roles with my dad. Now, don't get me wrong, our relationship has not been one of the rosy, picture perfect relationships. But as I face the tasks that many people my age find themselves doing, I notice how the old hurts, betrayals and resentments just don't matter anymore. As I hear the words of God whisper in my heart reminding me of my true lineage and place, I can see my dad for who he is and deeply appreciate what he gave me over my lifetime.
Being here for him in this way has stretched and expanded me in ways that I could never have imagined nor did I know I wanted to be stretched and expanded this way. I have discovered a new found strength and capacity for compassion that was dormant within me waiting to be activated. And as I move through our routine together, I see elements of both my parents come alive in me. I see family influence in me from even further back as I hear my deceased grandmother's voice speak through my voice and minister to my dad through my hands.
I not grateful for Alzheimer's. I miss the intense conversations and disagreements and the equally passionate expressions of love that my dad and I often had. But, I am grateful for the gifts that come in all situations, this one included. I am grateful for remembering who I am as his daughter and ultimately God's daughter. I am grateful for increased strength and compassion. And most of all, I am grateful for this time together while he still knows my name and the way we can joke about it those times he forgets.

|Service 18 at the Bus Station
Kirkby Lonsdale Coach Hire service 18 is the only bus service to a large part of east Lancaster. Despite this, since June 2015 it has been reduced to a handful of journeys per day and has been of minimal benefit to local residents. It has continued in this way despite large sums of money being made available to the County Council by housing developers to improve it. For the full story read here.
But yesterday the Bus Users' Group attended a meeting in County Hall, Preston together with senior County Council officers; County Councillor John Fillis (Cabinet Member for Highways & Transport); County Councillor Gina Dowding (Lancaster Central and a BUG member); County Councillor Lizzie Collinge (Lancaster East); Lancaster City Councillor Tim Hamilton-Cox (also a BUG member) and even Cat Smith MP!
With all the top brass present, the Bus Users' Group was hopeful of a satisfactory outcome and we were not disappointed. The Council officers initial position was that all the highways works that the developers' money was also provided for would have to be completed and the actual costs established before they would know how much money was available to enhance the bus service.
This was clearly nonsense and the BUG was able to show the Cabinet Member that there was no reason why the two parts of the project could not proceed in tandem, with officers using their available budget estimates to establish the level of bus service that could be afforded.
Councillor Fillis then instructed the officers to set aside a sum of money to allow the timetable enhancement on service 18 to go ahead. The proposal is to run a service every 30 minutes on the existing service 18 route between about 7am and 6pm on Mondays to Saturdays. The sum of money mentioned appears enough - with other money known to be in the pipeline - to run the new timetable for long enough to establish viablility. When the BUG Chair asked how long it would be before the new timetable was introduced there was no definite commitment, but the officers agreed it could be "weeks not months".
The Council will have to seek tenders from bus operators and will need to get the service registered with the Traffic Commissioners so we won't see anything this side of Christmas but it does appear that the end of this whole sorry saga is now in sight!

Paulb568 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 72 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
Gohorse http://www.gohorse.com.au
We sell horse rugs and associated equestrian horeswear (and rider wear) online all over Australia at http://www.gohorse.com.au
Our competitive position is to source directly from the factory, avoiding the middle man and providing an exclusive high quality product at a low price delivered directly to peoples door.
You can see our website to get a feel for our business at http://www.gohorse.com.au. This project is for a small home business hoping to get bigger.
A primary use of the logo is as a label for our rugs. These are manufactured in two colours in a rubber embossed style. That is there is a white backgroumnd with the colour raised in 3d.
The style can not by too intricate otherwise the embossed label can not match the fine details of the design however you can see from our existing logo what detail is achievable, so it should not be too limiting.
Also the rubber label is sewn onto our horse rugs and so needs a shape like a circle/oval or a square/rectangle with well rounded corners that the sewing machine can run around. It also needs an encircling colour like our current logo or the holden or FPV logo as the stiching to attach the logo follows this line.
The current logo is about 7cm in diameter but it could be up to say 9cm.
We will also use the logo our our website and printed materials so generally it will be used on a white background. We could use a version with more colours on our website as long as it also works as a one colour on white version.
It needs to include a horse graphic with a proud look (not agressive or passive).
The main market is generally women who want to look after a prized pet/friend/companion in their horse. Owners range from sporty to western to casual riders to racing to those that just breed horses and show them so it needs wide appeal.
I included some horse heads to show the relief style but these are a bit too agressive looking.
I do like the Lions Den logo maybe with a rectangular shape and rounded corners but don't let this stop you creating anything that you think will work better.
The wording just needs to include at least our name Gohorse - could be all upper case or with initial capital and Australia in any font that looks best.
Please ask any questions you like.

The exhibition project at the Weserburg—it is now unintentionally the first posthumous presentation of these works—had been planned for a long time. An agreement was made between the Weserburg and two private collections, both closely associated with the museum but who wish to remain unnamed, to arrange a comprehensive exhibition in Bremen of the works by Jörg Immendorff in their possession. The background of this idea was the dream of placing a large sculpture by Immendorff in Bremen's public space and taking this outstanding occasion to accompany it with a comprehensive exhibition. This dream has now become reality. On permanent loan, a large Affentor (Monkey Gate) by Jörg Immendorff will be placed in front of the Sparkasse Bremen, Am Brill, in the immediate vicinity of the Weserburg. In addition, another of the artist's sculptures will be positioned in the areaway of the train station for the duration of the exhibition. Bremen once again shows that art in public space is afforded a great deal of importance in this city.
With drawings, paintings, and sculptures from private Bremen collections, the exhibition at the Weserburg presents Immendorff as an artist who like hardly another kept awake the dream of the transmutability of the world in his art. Jörg Immendorff sought the public, which he understood as a discussion forum, as a site for criticism, in everything he did. The artist battled for art with overwhelming energy—even during the years of his grave illness—and steadfastly believed in its power to continue to follow humanity's dream of another world. His territory was art as an alternative concept to everything that existed, and he staked off his territory time and again using an inexhaustible wealth of forms. The project in Bremen honors one of the great artists of our time.
The setting up of the sculptures, the exhibition in the Weserburg, and the accompanying catalogue were significantly supported by the Senator of Culture of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, the Sparkasse Bremen, and the Stiftung Wohnliche Stadt.
The exhibition is being generously funded by the Sparkasse Bremen, the Stiftung Wohnliche Stadt, and the Senator of Culture.

After the SATs exams, we celebrated with a steel pan workshop, led by Leon. Each group had an hour to learn the basics and to learn to play a specific tune, before performing it to Year 5 at the end of the day. It was a fabulous cultural opportunity and I hope that some children might take the steel pans up as a result of this experience (as I know previous pupils have done).
Mr Rivers
What we did
We were part of the Steal Pan Workshop. I was on bass, which creates a deep sound. Josh was at the front on the singles, which made a more high pitch sound.
First, we learnt the history of the Steel Pans/Drums. Next, we learned the basic pattern which was 1, 2, 3 and 1, 1, 1. In the afternoon, we did a performance to year 5 and showed them how amazing the Steel Pans/Drums are.
Emily S and Joshua – 6SD
The History of the Steel Pans
One day, many years ago, a Caribbean boy called Simon was going to have a special day; it was his mother's birthday. Simon's mother got lots of presents and one of her presents was a big tin of biscuits, which was given to her by her neighbour.
Simon's mother didn't want to throw the tin away afterwards, so she gave it to Simon. Simon walked across his garden, thinking about what do with the tin, sitting in his hands. Suddenly, Simon tripped and the tin fell right out of his hands and landed on the floor. It made a big dent.
Simon started to beat the dent out but then another dent appeared. And again. And again. While beating the dents, Simon could hear different sounds and he was delighted. He kept beating it again and again. He then though of showing his friends and then that's what he had discovered.
Simon showed his friends but, at first, they thought he was out of his mind. Then slowly, they came round to the idea and wanted a tin of their own. They kept knocking on their neighbours' doors, asking for tins but nobody had any.
One of Simon's friends thought about some old oil barrels he had seen earlier. So they gathered as many oil tanks as they could and started to make dents in them. When the tanks were ready, they started to make wonderful melodies together. Steel pans were born and now they are played all around the world.

Gods…next time I come to Thailand I'm travelling completely by train or plane. The bus system in Thailand could leave me with nightmares.
Its going to take a good 8 hours to get to Phuket, so I chose the earliest ferry the tour company could offer – which included me getting up at around 5.30 in the morning so I could be picked up in a minibus and get to to the dock in time (takes a good hour to get to the other side of the island). Got dropped off not too far away, and at 7.30 our second bus arrived, a big ol public-type bus that would be driven onto the ferry while we were on the top floor. No catamaran this time (thank god) but the Raja Ferry, which is bigger, slower and quieter, meaning I could lie down on 3 seats and barely felt the waves bobbing us up and down. Its a nice, simple trip, and can barely believe it takes 90 minutes to get us to Donsak and back on our bus.
However, this is not the bus we'll be using for good. We're all going to different cities, so eventually the bus stops and hands us over to a gentleman who takes us to an office-and-restaurant to get us proper tickets (and lunch) before one gentlemen and myself get hauled onto a truck-type minibus and sent off. Both go our seperate ways as he ends up in one minibus, and I end up at the bus station. Here I find my fourth bus, but this one is in fact the bus that will take me to Phuket, so hop on and pray for a simple journey.
It was simple…but dear lord did it take forever. First of all the company I went with loved the scenic routes. Instead of using the mains roads that I know exist, we ended up going through Khao Sok National Park. Don't get me wrong, its a beautiful place, but when you've been travelling since 6 in the morning, all you want is to get to your destination. As it turned out, the 8 hour estimation the company gave me was woefully optimistic. Come 1600 we're still on the bus. 1700, and I'm calling my hostel and warning them I'll be showing up a little later than planned since they insisted on me giving a time of arrival.
Finally, at 18:00 hours (give or take ten minutes), we roll into Phuket Bus Station, and I all but leap off the bus in relief. I'm tired, frustrated and have little to no idea how I get to my hostel, so I grab a motorbike taxi and don't even try to haggle – I just want to get checked in.
My home away from home for the next few days is the Phuket Backpackers Hostel, recommended to me by D in Koh Tao. I had planned on staying somewhere else, but she insisted this was a great place to be. Its pretty well located in the heart of Phuket, and looks like a nice place to be – the dorm rooms are strange though. Remind me of office cubicles with 2 sets of bunk beds inside them.
There is just one tiny problem with Phuket that I've spotted while looking at tours and just walking around town. This city is expensive. I'd thought the Koh's were bad, but Phuket is going to do everything in its power to bankrupt me…

For a number of years, my home has been the Pee Dee region of South Carolina, loosely defined by the watershed of the Great Pee Dee and Little Pee Dee rivers. The Pee Dee is predominately an agricultural region. Farming in this area means corn, soy beans, cotton and tobacco. Tobacco had, for over a hundred years, meant more to the numerous small farm towns in the region than all the other crops combined.
This was especially true after the Civil War. Cotton languished for lack of a market and an insufficient labor force. During those times when King Cotton was laid low, tobacco became the savior of the Pee Dee. This was a direct result of the introduction of the flue curing process which produced the golden yellow leaf most of us are familiar with. With tobacco, a small family farmer, with limited land and limited resources, could now provide for his family, pay off his debts, and even prosper on the proceeds from a few acres.
Today, the ubiquitous tobacco barns lie empty and rotting. The warehouses that were the centerpieces of a town's success are mostly gone or being demolished as safety hazards. Main Street in the Pee Dee has been replaced by the "big box" store.
Still, there are a few farmers planting tobacco. I have chosen to document their labors because tobacco has been so important to the people and the history of this region. My intention is to show current cultivation practices, far different from methods employed even 50 years ago.
It is unlikely that Bright Leaf will ever return as a mainstay of the Pee Dee economy, but it still resonates through the soul of the region.
What Stage & Why
The project I'm submitting is a work in progress. I began it in the middle of last year and needs at least 8-10 more months to complete.
I believe I'm at the beginning of Stage III. I understand the need to have a cohesive project and to tell a story in presenting the project. I feel I'm at the beginning of the stage because I am still developing technical skills that should be done in Stage I. I also am much in need of critical feedback. Most of my friends and fellow students are overly complimentary and don't emphasize weaknesses in my projects or areas to improve the focus of my work.

text: Seven authors and their fantastic stories.The first book I read in this set was Ann Gimpel's Tarnished Beginnings, a great prequel to the Tarnished Soul Dance Series. A wonderful beginning to a new series that is filled with magical gypsies, wolf shifters, vampires and the hunters of both. A young girl, overhearing an argument between her parents, finally learns why she feels different. She has learned that the dreams she's had since she was little, were in fact, her other half trying to reach her. She suffers the loss of her parents, one through abandonment the other through a horrific death by their own gypsy tribe. Having learned what she really is, she barely escapes her people, who are now trying to destroy her. Finally accepting the truth she goes through her first change, with help from her newly discovered bond. Trying to find her father, whom she hopes will help explain what's happening as well as be accepted by his "family, they barely escape death by vampires and hunters as well. Tarnished Beginnings is a story of a young girl overcoming her fear of becoming a woman and learning how to accept and live with what she is. It's filled with a longings for family love, and accepting what must be. I can't wait to read what adventures, dangers and maybe loves are in her future. I recommend this book to lovers of the paranormal and all the many things that go with it.

Ergonomics in the Workplace
How conveyor systems decrease the risk of injury.
When we think of injuries in the workplace we often think of the injuries that occur as the direct result of accidents. However, around a third of workplace injuries are attributed to problems that occur over time, such as musculoskeletal problems. These issues, which include the likes of back injuries, muscle strains, and even carpal tunnel syndrome, are largely brought on by a lack of ergonomics in the workplace.
Workplace ergonomics are systems that are designed to reduce the strain on the human body. One such example is carton live picking systems, the wheels of which facilitate the smooth transition of products between departments.
If you have a fit workforce, then the efficiency of your warehouse or workshop will be high. However, ergonomics have to be implemented with care or they can actually cause more problems than they solve.
As carton live manufacturers, Krost knows the importance of properly implemented ergonomics. Thus, in an effort to help you and your employees, here are some ergonomic solutions for your consideration:
Correct installation
Choosing the best carton live manufacturers for the installation of your systems is very important, as this will allow you to work with experienced individuals towards a common goal – the sustained health of your employees.
The factors which you should consider during the installation of equipment are:
- Height of work surfaces: This is the height of the work surfaces relative to the floor. While some workers are taller than others, this distance should be set to a comfortable height for the average worker.
- Reaching distance: This is the distance at the edge of a conveyor, where the workers need to grasp and lift the products. This distance should be kept as small as possible, paying consideration to safety. No stretching or bending should occur as this can lead to muscle strain.
- Working height: This is the level at which the workers will need to hold their hands to move the products, as well as accept them. Making this level too high or low can cause musculoskeletal disorders.
Using gravity
Gravity is an excellent tool for the facilitation of product movement. This means that employees do not have to strain themselves moving heavy loads. Gravity conveyor lines, such as carton live picking systems, are perfect for workplace ergonomics, and have the added benefit of increasing efficiency.
Paying attention to these factors will mean that your employees suffer far fewer injuries. In addition, energy expenditure will decrease and efficiency will improve. It's mutually beneficial.

Four ministers resign in Albania as tensions rise ahead of June elections
Thu 16 Mar 2017
On March the 12th Albanian Prime Minister Rama (Socialist Party, SPA) announced that the Interior Minister, Health Minister, Youth and Social welfare Minister, and Local issues Minister had resigned from their post. Rama said that they left on a good note and that they would be focusing on the campaign for the June 18 parliamentary elections. They will be replaced by: Fatmir Xhafaj (Interior Minister), Olta Xhacka (Youth and Social welfare Minister), Ogerta Manastirliu (Health Minister) and Eduard Shalsi (Local issues Minister).
Rama denied allegations that his coalition partner the LSI (Socialist Movement for Integration) demanded the resignations, or that the ministers left as concession to the opposition.
Ongoing protests and boycott of parliament
Rama has been under heavy pressure from the opposition who want him to resign. On February the 18th protests, which are still ongoing, erupted in front of the prime minister's office. Hundreds of opposition supporters have been demanding a new, technocrat, government and free elections. The opposition fears that large sums of money, earned though cannabis cultivation, will have a big influence on the elections. The Prime Minister has been accused of being unwilling to tackle widespread cannabis cultivation in order to keep good relations with those involved. This claim was denied by officials of his party.
Since the protests started the Democratic Party has boycotted the parliament, with its leader Lulzim Basha accusing the government of corruption and having links to criminal activities. Basha has urged Albanian citizens to follow in the footsteps of the Romanian protesters and stand up against corrupt politicians.
Rama has stated that he won't step back and that his centre-left government is committed to making sure that the elections are free and fair. He has also accused the opposition of using the protests to obstruct the reform process, in order to prevent certain judges from being vetted.
EU response
The EU condemned the protests saying that issues regarding the elections should be solved in parliament. European Commissioner Johannes Hahn added that the presence of opposition parties is of importance for the implementation of the planned judicial reforms. Earlier, in January, the EU stressed the importance of free and fair elections, saying they are necessary if Albania wants to hold accession talks with the EU.

Croatia Motivated By English Pundits Lack Of Respect, Says Luka Modric
I've been wanting to spark a debate on this. In my view, the ITV punditry was rock bottom, lowest common denominator trash last night. Ian Wright being its lead clown.
The business about Croatia being tired (they had merely played half an hour more than us) and the cringe worthy talk at half time about England comfortably cruising through the second half.
Whatever the channel, our 'pundits' seem to have descended into a bunch of cheer leading excitable children. You only have to see the faces of foreign guests to see how embarrassing it is.
Like cricket, the afterlife has taken the best from us, never to return. Peter Jones, Bryan Butler, Brian Moore etc
It wasn't the result that upset me last night, it was the final realisation that the reporting of events surrounding it is now a silly and disrespectful circus devoid of any talent.

Media always gets carried away and why would pundits motivate them. Surely the prize of being in a World Cup final is all you need.12-07-2018, 12:03 #3
'Right lads, a place at the World Cup final is up for grabs!'
'Meh, not really fussed boss'
'But the pundits on English tv think England are better than us!'

Who cares? As Wrighty said, let the nation hope and dream! What fun is it going into a semi-final with the pundits overly-respecting the opponents and downplaying our chances? I didn't see a single pundit say we were already in the final. Everyone knew Croatia would be tough but we hoped beyond hope we would make it to the final.
What would have made last night worse is if the whole nation hadn't got overly excited beforehand. It's a World Cup for goodness sake, it comes around every four years, it's supposed to be fun to dream!"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." (Philippians 1:21)12-07-2018, 12:05 #5

In reality, pre-tournament Croatians were baying for Modric's blood and some still are for his perjury charge. Below article sums it up pretty well.
I think if he wanted any motivation, it would be that leading his country to his first world cup would potentially change public opinion surround him and help him minimize or avoid jail time. The whole pundit thing is Mourinho-esque deflection via wind up rubbish.

I don't recall a single pundit saying anything disrespectful or anything but praise for their team, especially in midfield
I didn't hear a single pundit say England were favourites, and entirely reasonable to suggest to penalty shootouts might take its toll. What it does reinforce is that some of these footballers live in their own little fantasy land and are completely removed from reality.
Perhaps Modric should be more concerned about his perjury case than what a few pundits are saying.

Envision, if you will, a stadium in Miami that actually manages to represent the luxury that the city has to offer. If you were to do so, you might imagine attending a sporting event in which the vibrant environment is contrasted with a view of the calm waters of Biscayne Bay and nighttime events accentuate the glittering Brickell skyline.
This is also the vision that David Beckham's group, Beckham Brand Limited, has for their potential Major League Soccer franchise in Miami.
As many local soccer enthusiasts may have heard, the group has been scouting locations for a 25,000-seat stadium for quite some time, with Arquitectonica as the rumored choice to design and plan the project. Though the group has surveyed around 30 potential sites, one has generated enough interest to inspire talks with Miami-Dade County.
According to the Mayor's office, Beckham's group has asked them to consider allowing the stadium to be built in the southwest corner of PortMiami in Dodge Island. PortMiami has been interested for quite some time in creating a better connection with the mainland. A soccer stadium may fit perfectly with their 25-year master plan for the southwest corner that would include a hotel, retail and office space.
25 acres would be available for the group to lease and build on, but the location raises some questions. For one, the port is only accessible through Port Boulevard and the Port Tunnel that is scheduled to open next year. Adding the event traffic to roads already clogged with cruise ship travelers on weekends may add up to a local nightmare. Similarly, the issue of parking would cause a major stir, though the idea to build an underground garage like that of the American Airlines Arena has been discussed.
Either way, the discussion between Beckham's group and the county has just begun and any plan would eventually require approval from the Miami-Dade County commission. As a matter of fact, MLS has yet to formally announce an expansion franchise for the city of Miami.
However, a professional soccer stadium built with private money could be a boon to the local economy and provide a large opportunity for retail in the underutilized PortMiami area.

We currently have eight UK holiday Resorts across the country, each with their own unique personality and selling points, so you are sure to find the destination which is perfect for you.
How Much Does it Cost to Buy a Holiday Lodge?
Just like a house, the cost of a holiday lodge will be related to the size of the lodge and the number of bedrooms. The amenities and specifications will also be a factor. For example some lodges will contain double glazing, central heating, modern kitchen facilities and specifically styled and designed modern furnishings.
The location of may also be a factor. A lodge that offers fantastic views from the decking area for example, may cost more than one that does not.
At Darwin Escapes, our holiday lodges available tend to cost between £60,000 and up to and beyond £200,000. Occasionally there are lodges available for less, so be sure to check out our page highlighting all of our holiday lodges for sale across the UK.

There are a number of things to consider when you are deciding on the right holiday home for you. These considerations are:
- Region – which location is perfect for you?
- Budget – how much are you looking to invest into your dream holiday home?

Please note however, that some of the parks such as Aberconwy Resort & Spa are only open to owners, so booking a holiday is not possible, although you can visit the famous Signatures Restaurant when you pay a visit to the resort.

Please ask a member of our sales team for more information about this.

Having lost manager Ronald Koeman to Everton last summer, Southampton earned an eighth-place finish under the Dutchman's replacement, Claude Puel.
The Frenchman's future remains uncertain however with the club set to make a decision in the coming weeks.
One man who has been linked with the post is Thomas Tuchel who left Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season. Mauricio Pellegrino and Roger Schmidt are also believed to be in the frame.
Regardless of who is in the dugout come August, the Saints are intent on ensuring the boss can pick star defender Virgil van Dijk .
The Dutchman is the target for a number of Premier League clubs including Liverpool and Manchester City , although the Anfield club were forced to withdraw their interest when Southampton reported them to the FA over their interest.
All eyes will be on who the Saints will face on the opening day of the new campaign.
Here, ahead of fixture day on June 14, we run through everything you need to know...
When are the Premier League fixtures released?
The big day is Wednesday June 14, with everything being released at 9am. You can see the full list first, here at Mirror Football.
When will Sky Sports and BT Sport announce their TV fixtures?
Both TV companies will thrash out details for the games covering August to September. These are likely to be released at the beginning of July.
Sky Sports said: "We expect to bring you details of the first batch of Premier League fixtures - those to be shown live on Sky Sports in August and September - at the beginning of July.
"Sky Sports will show 126 live top-flight games in 2017/18 and mobile users will once again be able to see in-game goals and match highlights."
That clears that up then.
When does the new season start?
The 2017/18 campaign gets underway on Saturday August 12.
When does the season finish?
The final day will be Sunday May 13, 2018.
What are the title odds?
Manchester City 9/4
Manchester United 11/4
Chelsea 3/1
Tottenham 8/1
Liverpool 11/1
Arsenal 14/1
Who are Southampton playing in pre-season?

The transport and supply of chemicals has never been more closely regulated and, as deadlines approach, more and more companies will be affected by the changes in legislation around the world.
In Europe, the implementation of REACH - the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals Regulation (EC 1907/2006) - has imposed a number of obligations that affect, or will affect, suppliers and users of chemicals up and down the supply chain.
Around the world there are a number of regulations and demands that require suppliers and shippers of chemicals to display an emergency telephone number Here are just a few:
Elsewhere, other countries and regions are following suit, and many of them are aligning similar regulations with their rolling out of GHS - the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.
Europe has introduced GHS into legislation under the CLP Regulation - Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (EC 1272/2008). The implementation of CLP will be impact on everyone in the industry, as every Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and product label for classified products will need to be changed.
To help those grappling with the complexities of these regulations, our Consultants can provide advice, guidance and understanding to ease the burden.
The UN aims to facilitate cooperation in international law. In order to ensure consistency between the regulatory systems of EU Member States they have developed hazard communication systems and regulations for the transport and supply of dangerous goods.

We recognize and embrace each other's gifts and passions, share our lives, offer ourselves in service inside and outside of the church walls, and pray for one another.
Our understanding of discipleship can be found in John Wesley's Quadrilateral. "Wesley believed that the living core of the Christian faith was revealed in Scripture, illumined by tradition, vivified in personal experience, and confirmed by reason. Scripture [however] is primary, revealing the Word of God 'so far as it is necessary for our salvation.'" ("United Methodist Book of Discipline 2004," p77)
Scripture, as it is found in the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible.
Tradition, the foundation of which is found in the 2,000-year history of the Church.
Reason, which is rational thinking and sensible interpretation.
Experience, individually and communal.
We also believe, with Wesley, that there is "no holiness without social holiness." So, we look for ways to put "feet to the Gospel," in seeking and serving the least, the last and the lost.

Yesterday, I posted a comment on a LinkedIn post written by a former higher up-in-higher ed administration type. As people are wrought to do, his post got hijacked in the comments section. I commented on one of the tangential threads.
The unspoken, hidden debate was over whether all colleges and universities should become "vocational" for the future. The spoken out loud debate was about the value in a "practical" degree vs. an "esoteric" one (borrowing the term in the comment I framed my own hijack around).
My main point–
Connections count more (though truthfully, the research slightly slants toward "choosing where you go wisely" as it makes a difference in lifetime earnings). Back in the day, this mantra was part of my informal schooling in the hidden job market as well as the then dreaded ole boy network (since I was neither).
Btw, this kind of network didn't die. It just now includes women.
To back up my point, I mentioned my own business research, where a lot of the degrees in the bios I read often have little to no relationship to the job and career path of the person. How I see clusters of employees–especially managers and key position holders–who went to the same school.
Second, I suggested that they take a look at the practices of many a ga-zillionaire tech company founder, who usually hire their former college bros (even when they all dropped out of college, ergo zip degree).
And that the practice isn't limited to big and tech companies. Smaller companies do it too.
Just recently, I talked with three people who got hired after a friend or former colleague opened the front door for them. While it's not true for all fields, the degree–when considered–is just to know you did the work to get one. It's part of the prize of admission into the club.
People STILL hire people they know. Therefore already trust.
Network. That was my unsolicited advice.
As well as if I were to add to that comment thread (and I didn't want to write more of a novelette than I already had), I'd say:
Learn to chat people up. Face-to-face. Talk about code, but be able to dish on Brancusi or Herbert Marcuse (who predates Bernie Sanders),or Theater of the Absurd (which I'd swear has laid the foundation for reality tv). How's that for esoteric? Cultivate friends. A diverse bunch preferably.
I'd end by advising parents: Tell your kids you're only shelling out for a practical degree if you must. Though honestly, it better be because they want one. It's no sure bet for a v.c. high a** return on your investment. Getting a job working with ones hands just because you're thinking those jobs don't get outsourced to Japan is no guarantee, either. In landing a job. Or keeping one.
Robot nurse, anyone?

There seems to be a tendency (especially here in the US) to confuse "traditional or classical Anglicanism" with 1950's Episcopalianism. Now, the Episcopal Church in the 50's was a slightly more orthodox place, yet it was not a bastion of classical Anglicanism, in any sense. This line of thought essentially presents Bicknell's, liberal catholic, commentary on the Articles of Religion as normative for Anglicanism. While his interpretation is a possible (yet very bad) interpretation of the Articles, it is hardly normative or "classical". However, the point of this brief article is not to criticize 1950's Episcopalianism nor Bicknell's interpretation of the Articles but to address a point. It seems that "Anglicanism" is often associated with the organ, perhaps given this association with the first half of the 20th century, this association makes a bit more sense. This was the zenith of the Anglo-Catholic takeover of the Protestant Episcopal Church. This often leads the average churchman to associate the organ with "classical Anglicanism". Although it is a beautiful instrument and has a unique advantage in leading congregational song, it is still a rather new expression of music in Anglican parishes.
The point of this is to really distance classical Anglicanism from 1950's Episcopaliansim. A brief glance back into the history of Anglican music should confirm this, especially if we consider the music of the 17th and 18th centuries. The main form of song in those days was not the hymn but the metrical psalm (which will not be discussed in detail here) -- essentially a "translation" of the Psalms to meter, or popular song. These were sung to popular (and secular) tunes. Notable Queens hated them, styling them "Geneva jigs". However, despite royal distaste, the metrical psalm was the Anglican way to sing in church (and outside of church too). Now, obviously musical custom was not identical in every place and there was considerable variation, even organ usage in cathedrals and collegiate chapels. However, the most common form of music offered in parish churches was the parish band, which consisted of unpaid parishioners. The form that became the most popular is often called "west gallery music" today, before that time it appears that most music was unaccompanied (a cappella). The "west gallery" refers to a space added in the 17th century for musicians above the nave in "prayer book parishes".
The most common instrument played was the fiddle, which was cheaper and available in most villages. Some parish bands had the bass, cellos and flutes. The downfall of the west gallery style of music is attributed to the Oxford Movement, which ultimately desired to "restore" the Church of England to the medieval standards, thus making this style of music irrelevant and also introducing Anglicanism to the organ as the staple for parish music ever since.
Now, I'm usually not one to agree with the neo-Anglicans but I can't seem to find a reason for classical Anglicans to be opposed to modern forms of music, if we accept hymnody and organ music. These two things were vehemently opposed by Anglicans in ages past (especially the singing of hymns -- most notably by High Churchmen). It's ironic that the reasoning why many "traditional" churchmen oppose contemporary music is also the same reasoning that traditional Anglicans opposed singing hymns!
That being said, I think that west gallery style music offers a good balance between two extremes and can show us some guidance on how to incorporate contemporary music into our services. Lastly, I am not condemning organ music, I love it, but I think that there is no "case" against contemporary music, from an Anglican perspective, and it can be helpful in reaching our younger friends with the Gospel of Christ.
The first principle is that the musician(s) should not be converted into "stars". The west gallery musicians played behind the congregation. Modern "church growth experts" tell us that putting our musicians behind us will kill congregational singing. While I cannot comment on the veracity of their findings, I tend not to doubt their expertise. However, there are other ways of diminishing the musicians' role by placing them off to the side. I think so long as they are not "center stage' and not blocking the pulpit or table, they should be fine. The second principle is that the parish band should incorporate a variety of instruments and talents. A modern equivalent of the fiddle is the guitar. Other musical instruments can be incorporated, keyboards, (certain) drums, flutes, violins, various percussion, etc. I think drum sets should be avoided but bongo drums can add a nice sound to a service. The third point is that the parish band should be something to be proud of, it demonstrates the commitment of the parish and can be something to aspire to as a parishioner. The parish band can edify the people of God if approached correctly and should not be avoided for artificial "Anglican" reasons.

This past week, on June 27, astronomers and space enthusiasts were watching online the first ever live observation of a planet outside of our Solar System as it passes across the face of its home star (transit).
This exoplanet is named TrES-2b, but is nicknamed the much sexier Dark Knight which makes most people think of a modern-day Batman.
I probably post more about space than many followers of this blog care to read, but that last really unexplored frontier is so mysteriously interesting. I can't fully explain this fascination which, to me, seems so naturally human. You can hear something of this interest in science by a non-scientist if you listen to this this episode of On Being, "Mysteries of an Expanding Universe."
Mario Livio works with discoveries made from the Hubble Telescope and studies dark energy, extrasolar planets, and white dwarf stars. He's fascinated, as am I, with the enduring mystery of mathematics and cosmic puzzles hidden in the language of science. Is God a mathematician?
An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet that orbits a star other than the Sun, a stellar remnant, or a brown dwarf. Nearly 2000 exoplanets have been discovered. This Dark Knight is the darkest exoplanet yet discovered. It is so nicknamed because it only reflects 1% of the light that falls on it.
Distances and numbers in space can't really be grasped by most humans. Orbiting only about three million miles out from its star, the Jupiter-size gas giant planet is heated to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (980 degrees Celsius). Jupiter is extremely cold, the Dark Knight is hot enough to vaporize many metals and molecules.
TrES-2 system is a binary star system, which should resonate with Star Wars fans as two rising Suns recalls Tatooine.

Here Are 15 Delicious and Dramatic FMLs About Thanksgiving!
Today we officially ring in the holiday season with time-honored traditions like the Macy's Thanksgiving parade, football games, and turkey dinner. But behind its idyllic mask, Thanksgiving is actually one of the holidays most prone to FMLs.
Gathering family spells drama. FML. Roasting turkey, or worse, frying turkey. FML. Buttloads of food? You mean butt loads of poop. FML. There is an infinite number of things that can go wrong, and that's why we're here. To record it all for others to relate to. I mean whose Thanksgiving gathering isn't fraught with passive aggression, creepy uncles, and plumbing problems?
1. Rookie mistake.
Today, I was in charge of Thanksgiving dinner. I dressed and stuffed the turkey, popped it in the oven and sent a mass text out to my family about how amazing it would be. Everyone arrived, we began making plates of food when I checked the turkey, and realized I never even turned on the oven. FML
2. Kids these days.
Today, on Thanksgiving, I asked my kid what she is thankful for. "My tablet." I had just told her I was thankful for her. FML
3. Wonderful timing.
4. A Thanksgiving to remember.
Today I visited my boyfriend's house for Thanksgiving. The fast food from the drive made me really need to poop, so I did my business and flipped on the air vent. Turns out the vent sparked a hot spot in the attic and caused a fire. I literally set my boyfriend's house on fire with my shit. FML
5. Knock first.
Today, my husband and I finally had the house to ourselves, so we had unusually loud sex. Banging bed, yelling obscenities, super rowdy, etc. I then see my mother-in-law out the window. She had let herself in, dropped off a bag and apparently ran out. Thanksgiving is going to be weird. FML
6. Damnit Uncle Steve.
Today, I went to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. I watched as my uncle and his girlfriend snuck off to the bathroom together, where they stayed until someone else tried to get in. When they came out, she was wiping her mouth. I need new eyes. FML
7. Grandpas say the darndest things.
Today, I took my boyfriend to my family's traditional late Thanksgiving dinner. While eating, my mom brought up celebrity infidelity. My grandpa ended up looking me in the eye and saying, "Look Angie, sometimes what a man has just isn't enough. When that happens, cheating is forgiveable." FML
8. Mom likes to micromanage.
Today, my family came over for Thanksgiving. We were supposed to have had dinner hours ago, but my mom kept sneaking into the kitchen and dialing down the temperature on the oven, claiming I was going to overcook everything. At this rate, we'll be lucky to have eaten by midnight. FML
9. Why Thanksgiving is the busiest day for plumbers.
Today, my husband threw up in the shower after drinking almost a whole bottle of wine. The shower won't drain now. Happy Thanksgiving. FML
10. Surprise?
Today, after changing his mind 3 times, my long distance fiancé told me he wasn't coming to see me for Thanksgiving. Out of anger, I threw his clothes, car magazines, and whatever else I could find in a huge, messy pile. During this, he walked into the room. He was going to surprise me. FML
11. Seems like one of the first things you would mention.
Today, my girlfriend of almost a year, and to whom I intended to propose on Thanksgiving, dumped me because her husband will be returning from Iraq soon. And he wants to have a "talk" with me. I didn't know she was married. FML
12. Murphy's Law x Thanksgiving.
Today, my toilet broke. Yesterday, the shower filled up with sludge. I have ten people coming over for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. FML
13. Just when you thought you were becoming independent.
14. And no ambulances!
Today, my entire family came over for thanksgiving. It went pretty well, only four family members got in a fist fight and only one cop car was called. FML
15. Replaced.
Today, my mother not only told me that my ex-husband will be spending Thanksgiving with her and my dad, but that I'm also no longer invited to spend the holiday with my family. FML

Romance, Dystopia
Will his kiss be enough to revive her frozen heart? Jade was only a little girl when the earthquake struck. Before her eyes, half of New York City disappeared, replaced by a village that seemed torn out of a storybook. Horses and carriages. Cobblestone streets. A towering castle. And, above all, a queen with the magical ability to strip emotions away. Ten years later and Jade has forgotten what it is to feel, to care… even to love. Working as a member of the queen's guard, she spends most of her time on the city wall staring at the crumbling skyscrapers of old New York. But everything changes when the queen's runaway son, Prince Asher, returns. Jade is tasked with an unusual mission – to let the Prince capture her, to make him trust her, and then to betray his secrets to the crown. In return, she'll earn her freedom. But life outside the queen's realm is more than Jade bargained for. Under Asher's relentless taunts, her blood begins to boil. Under his piercing gaze, her heart begins to flutter. And the more her icy soul begins to thaw, the more Jade comes to question everything she's ever known – and, more importantly, whose side she's really on.
Since I'm in a Retelling Hunt this month, here's another one that I really can't wait to read. This is a retelling of the fairytale Sleeping Beauty, but this time beauty is a ruthless soldier and the prince is her target. Sounds intriguing right? 🙂 I'm really excited about this since I was left disappointed with the most recent retelling I've read. I want something to cheer me up and I guess, this is that something. 😉 Aside from the gorgeous book cover, I was pulled by the book's blurb and this photo:
I've looked for giveaways, but only found one and it is on Goodreads.

YA Bound Book Tours is organizing a Blog Tour and this will run from February 23rd to March 6th.

Now that D'Angelo Russell is officially a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, I think it's a safe bet that the Kobe Bryant hazing is about to begin. Young D'Angelo wanted Kobe Bryant to take him under his wing, but those brazing enough to grab hold of it often want a emergency landing. Kobe Bryant represents the last of the dying breed in the NBA, in terms of how the game should be played. The focus, will, dedication and love Kobe plays with is not common among today's NBA players.
D'Angelo Russell represents the new age of basketball in terms of crossovers, stats, and twitter retweets as forms of validation of superstardom in the NBA. D'Angelo Russell is part of the "little brother" generation that has now ascended onto the NBA scene. Here is a example. The number eight overall pick Stanley Johnson just went to the Detroit Pistons. When Stanley eventually touches down in D-town, he will run into the franchises best player, 25 year old Brandon Jennings who is quite the character. Jennings still suffers from maturity issues, tweets constant nonsense on Twitter, often talks about who he "runs with" in the hottest basketball video game "NBA 2K16," and probably has the most swag in the NBA besides Lakers guard Nick Young aka "Swaggy P." What can a franchise leader at age 25, that suffers from these type of leadership flaws teach a kid like Stanley Johnson?
Absolutely nothing.
Jennings has some growing up to do, as well as other mid-20s NBA franchise players. You can look at Washington Wizards franchise player, 24 year old John Wall who occasionally flashes gang signs on the basketball court and was recently removed from a airplane for disorderly conduct. Again, I ask you what can the leader of this franchise teach his newly drafted teammate 19-year-old Kelly Oubre except he still needs guidance himself.
This is why D'Angelo Russell can't squander this golden opportunity. He has a chance to detach himself from his sense of "entitlement" generational of hoopers that want to take shortcuts to greatness and refuse to sharpen their craft. D'Angelo has a chance to learn from a top five all-time great on how to be a true professional and more importantly how to be a champion.
Shortcuts will not be tolerated. The word "excuse" will be wiped from your vocabulary, you are about to learn from the greatest, and what it truly takes to be a Los Angeles Lakers.

A Worthy Endeavor
Categories: Uncategorized
My fellow fantasy author, Shawn Speakman, has an opportunity available over on his web site, that all Fantasy fans should consider. He's selling rare, Advanced Reader Copies of an anthology of stories from some of the biggest names in the genre.
And if a chance to obtain a rare, limited-edition printing isn't enough to tempt you into supporting this worthy effort, the proceeds from the sale of the ARCs will be used to help defray the medical expenses of uninsured, freelance writers!
I got mine today — please consider supporting Shawn's effort, and get a signed, limited edition ARC compendium at the same time.
Highly Recommended.

text: Good communication is all well and good but how effective have these Councillors been whilst sitting on LDC and/or LCC? We heard not too long ago how Mike Wilcox was frustrated by the poor attendance and contribution of some Councillors; have their attendance/contribution improved since he allegedly read the Riot Act? I have a major concern that these Councillors are spreading themselves too thinly and not performing any role properly (apart from in their world).

A couple of days ago, a 56-year-old man was arrested for hiding 100 iPhone X units in his suitcase when he landed in India on his trip from Dubai.
The man was intercepted by customs security agents at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi (India) . As previously mentioned, he was traveling from Dubai, and was arrested when the agents found the mobile devices hidden in their suitcases.
The agents indicated that the 100 iPhone X devices that the arrested man was carrying had an approximate value of $ 126,600 . Currently, an investigation is being conducted on this case.
Why did he hide so many iPhone X in his suitcase?
The iPhone X is the latest smartphone launched by Apple, and without a doubt, it is the most expensive mobile phone in the history of the company . But the iPhone X is especially expensive in India , for a number of reasons, including import fees for devices manufactured outside the country.
That's why Apple's iPhone X is slightly cheaper in other regions, such as Dubai. This makes buying models of this iPhone to sell in another country is a very lucrative and ... illegal activity.
To get an idea, the 64GB iPhone X costs 1,159 euros in Spain, while in Dubai it costs 983 euros and in India it costs 1,193 euros.
India offers the second most important market for Apple , after China. Perhaps for this reason the company of the bitten apple wants to manufacture its iPhone in that country. And, currently, Apple only reaches a 3% market share of the sale of smartphones in India.
The iPhone X has been the best-selling smartphone in the first quarter of 2018, according to data shared by the firm Strategy Analytics . So this arrested man had a good deal on his hands ... pity it was illegal, we hope he learned the lesson.

#WCW- Character Crush: Tank Girl
Woman Crush Wednesday
Who: Rebecca Buck
AKA: Tank Girl
Motto: SHE'LL BREAK YOUR BACK AND YOUR BALLS!
Occupation: Comic Book Apocalypse Hero Badass
Origins: British comic created by Jamie Hewlett and Alan Martin
Big Screen: Tank Girl was played by Lori Petty in 1995
|Lori Petty as Tank Girl
Why we love her: She drives a tank, has a huge potty mouth and always does so in style.
Fun Fact: Her first words were "cauliflower penis"
Her Story
Tank girl had done a series of missions for a nebulous organization before she was declared an outlaw for making a serious mistake along with her past history of sexual inclinations with her Booga, a mutant kangaroo and substance abuse.
When she was 7, she started a collection of novelty pencil sharpeners (the collection is now housed in the National Museum of Modern Pencil Sharpeners, Sydney).
She later became a tank pilot and worked as a bounty hunter before shooting a heavily decorated officer, having mistaken him for her father, and failing to deliver colostomy bags to President Hogan, the incontinent Head of State in Australia, resulting in him publicly embarrassing himself at a large international trade conference. These events resulted in Tank Girl becoming an outlaw with a multi-million dollar bounty on her head.
"She is prone to random acts of sex and violence, hair dyeing, flatulence, nose-picking, vomiting, spitting, and more than occasional drunkenness. She also has the ability to outrun any ice cream van - even Mr. Whippy." (wikipedia)
Fun Fact!
The creator of Tank Hewlett also helped to creat the characters of Gorillaz with Blur's Damon Albarn
