Every woman who has ever walked past a Lush store knows how hard it is to resist walking inside once the aroma hits you. Sure, it's a little overpowering — but you know that there are tons of amazing smelling natural products inside just waiting to test out. The scents, the colors, the piles, and piles of bath bombs — there's just something about the environment. Sure, Sephora is incredible, but it's a whole lot more glossy and mirror-packed and glam — Lush is a little more relaxed, a little more natural.
However, that doesn't mean that they're just creating products which are outdated in any way. In fact, Lush has been keeping up with the trends in a major way, continuing to impress us with the great products they come up with. While they don't have a ton of actual makeup available, they do have a ton of incredible things that will help you look and feel your best, from masks to cleansers to hair products and much more.
So, next time you find yourself walking past — and then into — Lush, keep these 25 trendy products in mind — trust us, you won't regret it. While they have certain staples that are constant successes, they're not afraid to mix it up and try new things.
25 Sleepy Lotion For Perfect Beauty Sleep
This product has become a total cult favorite amongst insomniacs everywhere — or, even amongst those who just have a tough time getting their beauty sleep because of the constant stress of modern life.
The lotion itself is stunning, the almond oil and cocoa butter will make your skin incredibly soft and moisturized.
And the mix of lavender and tonka scents will have you drifting off in no time.
Forget warm milk, forget counting sheep — this should be your new solution for an amazing night's rest.
24 Feeling Younger Skin Tint To Highlight Your Life
Lately, it seems every brand is trying to get into the highlighter game, and Lush is no different. And, while it may not come in glimmering unicorn-colored packaging, it's definitely effective.
The mix of cocoa butter and jojoba oils help to soothe and moisturize your skin — something that not a lot of highlighters bother to consider — and the highlighting pigment will give you a soft glow. They suggest to either apply it straight as a highlighter or if you're looking for a natural glow all over, mix it with a bit of moisturizer. Amazing.
23 Emotional Brilliance Mattifying Powder For A Flawless Finish
There are some days when you want to look dewy and fresh. And then, there are some days when you need to just make things a little more matte.
Perhaps you're prone to getting a little shiny mid-day, or maybe you have a new favorite foundation that's a bit too dewy for your taste.
This is the perfect solution.
The powder has a bit of jojoba oil mixed in, which means you'll look matte and flawless rather than chalky — and that's exactly what you want.
22 Seanik Shampoo Bar For A Beach Experience In The Tub
Even if you're not yet a convert to solid shampoo bars, you should give this particular bar a try, because it'll make all your mermaid dreams come true.
The volumizing shampoo bar has Irish moss seaweed and Japanese nori seaweed to make your locks soft and silky, some floral oils to add a great scent, sea salt to give you that perfect beachy volume, and a bit of lemon oil for shine.
Basically, you'll have the beach hair of your dreams — just from your shampoo. What's not to love about that?
21 Coalface Cleansing Charcoal Bar For Clear Skin
From charcoal lattes to charcoal ice cream, it seems we just can't escape this particular trend — and now, thanks to Lush, you can incorporate it into your beauty routine as well.
While this may not be the best choice for those with super dry skin, if you have oily or combination skin, this just might be your new best friend.
The mildly exfoliating facial soap helps zap excess oil so that your skin just looks fresh, clean and matte. And, in order to make things a bit gentler, Lush has also incorporated rosewood and sandalwood oils.
20 Eau Roma Toner Water To Add A Little Luxury To Your Routine
If you look at the most popular toners and facial mists on the market, a lot of them have one thing in common — they have rose water. And no, it's not just because everyone loves the floral scent (although who doesn't want to smell like roses?).
It's because rose water helps calm and soothe your skin. This Lush product adds lavender into the mix as well, which makes this an intoxicating product that will leave your skin hydrated and happy. Every spritz is like your own private spa day.
19 1,000 Millihelens Mask To Give You A Greek Goddess Glow
We love a good mask, and this particular one promises to have you glowing like the Greek goddess Helen of Troy.
As with all their products, this mask has a line-up of natural ingredients designed to perk up your skin, including green tea, witch hazel, and apple juice. The end result is supposed to be skin that's detoxified, toned, fresh and glowing.
What more could you want?
Plus, even though she probably wasn't putting on luxe face masks, who doesn't want to channel the legendary Helen of Troy in their beauty routine?
18 Catastrophe Cosmetic Mask For An Antioxidant Packed Glow
Everyone knows blueberries are an amazing antioxidant — so don't just stop at putting them on your plate, put them on your face as well! This mask is packed with blueberries, calamine powder, rose absolute and chamomile blue oil.
This is a great pick for those with really sensitive skin, as the ingredients are gentle and will keep your skin feeling it's best. Plus, there's just something about the incredible smell that we can't get enough of. If you love blueberries, you absolutely need to try this one.
17 Honey Lip Scrub For A Perfect Pout
Every woman who loves lipstick knows the frustration of trying to apply a perfect bold lip and being thwarted by chapped, peeling lips.
So, what's the solution? Lip scrub, obviously.
This gentle scrub with honey, white chocolate, jojoba oil and vanilla will have your lips exfoliated and ready for any beauty product you want to toss their way. However, we have to warn you — it smells so delicious you just might be tempted to eat it straight from the jar.
16 Creme De Menthe Mouthwash Tabs For Fresh Breath
If you just can't handle the alcohol-packed liquid mouthwash options on the market, but you really want to ensure you always have fresh breath, this unique product might be just the ticket.
The solid tabs fizz, almost like a mini bath bomb, when you pop one in your mouth — and you just have to sip some water, swish it all around, and spit it out to get some minty fresh breath. It's also a great option for if you're traveling and don't want to deal with too many liquid products.
15 Shimmy Shimmy Bar For Gently Glowing Skin
If you're looking for a product to add a little luxury to your life, this is definitely it.
It's basically the most extra moisturizer you could imagine.
Rather than applying lotion or serum or anything of that nature, you rub the bar across your skin and get a subtle shimmer all over — as well as baby soft skin thanks to the actual bar product itself. It's the perfect way to get a bit of all-over glow without looking like you soaked yourself in glitter.
14 Madame President Bath Bomb For Boss Babe Baths
Every boss babe out there knows that self-care should be a big part of your daily routine, and there's not much better than an amazing bubble bath. And, when you're taking a break after your long day to soak in the tub, what better bath bomb to use than Madame President?
The vibrant hued bomb has grapefruit oil to leave you feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the world, cornflour for silky soft skin, and petitgrain oil to tone your skin. If you pair this with some inspiration in-tub reading, you'll be unstoppable.
13 Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb To Channel Your Inner Khaleesi
We blame our Game of Thrones obsession for this one, but after seeing Daenerys Targaryen kick butt and take names for seasons on the show, we're all about everything dragons.
So, you know this bath bomb is one we had to try.
The scents of lemon and bergamot are super crisp and refreshing, and the exterior is totally gorgeous before it erupts into a fizzle of sunshine yellow. It may be a bit cheerier than the bath bombs we can picture Khaleesi soaking with, but it's pretty amazing nonetheless.
12 Ro's Argan Soap For Silky, Scented Skin
Argan oil is an absolute staple in every constantly dry woman's beauty routine, whether it's for applying on the skin, the hair, anything. It just adds a huge hit of hydration to wherever you need.
In this soap, it's mixed with rose jam and rose oil to pack a scented, hydrating punch. Given how many soaps on the market totally dry your skin out and leave it feeling less than ideal, it's great to find one that actually leaves your skin looking and feeling a little bit better.
11 Pink Fun Bubbler For Millennials Everywhere
For a while, it seemed like millennial pink was absolutely everywhere. And, while it takes a brave soul to dress head to toe in the bold hue, everyone can indulge in an on-trend bat, right?
This pink fun bar is scented with vanilla and tonka, and it smells like something that came straight from Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.
You can mold the tube of product into fun shapes and crumble it under your bathwater for bubbles so pink and perfect they almost don't even seem real.
10 Cloak Of Invisibility For A Luxe Bath
If you prefer your baths exotic rather than sugary sweet, this bath oil just might be your perfect product. Not only will this make your entire bathroom smell like jasmine and rosewood, it'll also cause the water to shimmer — hence, the cloak of invisibility!
And, if that weren't enough, it's also packed with cocoa butter that will have you emerging from that tub with ultra-soft skin. Plus, who doesn't want to feel like they're bathing in some kind of mystical concoction? We totally dig the shimmer and vibrant orange hue.
9 T'Eo Deodorant For Those Looking To Go Natural
A lot of people have very strong opinions about natural deodorant. But if it's something you're looking to try out, this Lush option is pretty amazing.
The triple citrus bar is packed with essential oils — juniper berry, tea tree, and lemongrass, to be specific — that will have you feeling fresh all day.
Natural deodorant definitely isn't for everyone, but if you're looking to make the switch, why not do it with such a gorgeous, amazingly scented bar? It's way nicer than all that plastic packaging.
8 Caca Rouge Henna Hair Color For The Perfect Cheryl Blossom Red
Obviously, henna dye won't pack the same kind of punch that straight up bleach would, so you're not going to get a hugely dramatic transformation if you've got darker hair.
However, Lush assures users that your darker hair will have a stunning auburn glow, and if you've got lighter hair, you can expect some major pigment coming your way. The cocoa butter will keep your locks moisturized, and the henna will give you a total color transformation without all those harmful chemical dyes.
7 Sea Spray For Flawless Beach Waves
We're pretty sure every woman has dreamed about having the perfect beach waves at some point in her life, and this product can make that happen.
The sea salt helps add some major texture to your hair — very surfer girl chic.
And the blend of orange flower, neroli, and rosewood will make your strands smell absolutely amazing. If you're the type of person who loves to rock a low maintenance style, this is the perfect product for you — just a few spritzes and you're good to go.
6 Marilyn Oil Treatment To Protect Your Blonde Bombshell Locks
Whether you're a natural blonde or your pigment comes out of a box, one thing is for sure — it can be tough to keep blonde locks looking their best. Given the light shade, your hair color can easily get a little dull or brassy.
This hot oil treatment is the perfect solution. The lemon juice and chamomile brighten your hair and add shine, while a hint of saffron makes your blond even more intense. It'll have you channeling your inner Marilyn in no time!
5 Cup O' Coffee Scrub To Pep Up Your Complexion
You probably pour a cup of coffee first thing in the morning to wake up and get into gear for the day, so why not treat your skin to the same?
This scrub is like giving your skin a piping mug of freshly brewed coffee.
Tthe scent is incredible, and the ground coffee works as a scrub to help gently get rid of all that dull, dry skin and reveal the radiance underneath it all. Plus, who doesn't want to smell like an amazing cup of coffee?
4 Foot Soak And Fancy-Free For Sandal-Ready Feet
Summer means one thing for many women — sandal season. And, unless you've been diligent about scheduling your pedicures, you may very well have feet that aren't quite ready to see the world yet. This is the perfect solution.
The Epsom salt and Irish moss powder will help to soften the tough areas on your feet, while the lavender oil and jasmine will have you feeling like you're relaxing in a spa. You'll be dying to dig out your cutest sandals to show off your pampered feet after using this!
3 Milky Bath For Soft, Pampered Skin
If you're not really the type to go for bright colors and super strong scents, don't worry — there's still something for you. This bath bubbler has cocoa butter, soy milk, and olive oil to get your skin the smoothest it's ever been.
There's also just a hint of orange oil to give a subtle scent to your bathwater.
However, don't worry — thanks to the addition of plastic-free glitter in the bottle's cap, your bath will still be pretty special, even without the crazy colors many of the other bath products have.
2 Herbalism For A Complexion Boost
Having super dry skin that needs to be constantly hydrated is tough enough, but oily, troubled skin is a whole different issue.
Thankfully, Lush has a product for that — this herbal wash has rice bran and kaolin clay to help get all that excess oil soaked up, and a blend of toning plants — rosemary, nettle, and chamomile.
It may not be quite as pretty as some of the other products (unless you totally love everything green), but it will leave your skin clear, balanced, and super happy.
1 Ocean Salt For Skin That's Beach Ready
If you can't actually go to the beach, the next best thing is having the beach brought to you — which is exactly what this scrub does.
The citrus scent of limes will have you feeling refreshed, the coconut oil and avocado butter will hydrate your skin, and the mixture of sea salts will exfoliate you.
It'll make you look so good, people will think you just got back from a beach vacation.
And you definitely don't need to reveal your secret!

Florida Citrus Associations Pushing an Optimistic Agenda
To get a true health check of the Florida citrus industry, we reached out to the state's four grower associations. The two questions we were most interested in knowing were: 1. How have your members' groves bounced back after Hurricane Irma?; and 2. What are some of your top priorities for the new year?
Here is what each association leader had to say.
Steve Smith, Gulf Citrus Growers Association:
"The color in our groves look good and the crop is improved over last year. However, our area got hit hard by the hurricane with a lot of trees blown over that will need to be replaced. As long as the market holds up, there is room for optimism. Last season was difficult, so our growers are ready to move forward.
"Water quality and supply is a top priority for our association. Our growers have a high participation rate in the best management practices program and a rep- utation for being good stewards of the land. Working with local legislators and agencies to keep citrus and agriculture at the table with our message will be a top focus for our association."
Ray Royce, Highlands County Citrus Growers Association:
"In general, the citrus groves in Highlands County that are being cared for by progressive and serious growers look pretty darn good. Obviously, there were some scenarios where more serious tree damage or uprooting occurred, and those trees have been slower to respond. Most groves have a pretty good crop, albeit with smaller piece sizes for the most part. Most growers are cautiously optimistic about the crop on their trees right now, and with the hurricane relief dollars starting to move a bit, that has added to the sense of optimism. We have a lot of growers that are putting new trees in the ground and that is the ultimate sign of optimism.
"Our association, which is very locally focused, will continue to work with the local and regional governmental entities that we have established good relationships with in order to foster the best possible agricultural business environment for growers to operate within."
Doug Bournique, Indian River Citrus League:
"Generally, the groves in the Indian River region have rebounded, along with the crop after the storm. But, fruit sizes will be small this season and growers continue to deal with other challenges.
"The scientists at USDA and UF/IFAS continue to get closer to figuring out this complex puzzle of HLB, especially with orange varieties. The League is engaged in a very large proposal that will test the most resistant grapefruit scions and rootstocks available in 30, 10-acre trial sites located throughout the state. These sites will hopefully produce the new, resistant varieties of the future."
Kait Shaw, Peace River Valley Citrus Growers Association:
"While our groves are not as good and thriving as they were before Hurricane Irma, the trees are looking better and better each day. Many growers have reported that their Hamlins are much smaller than they would like them to be. But the growers within the Valley are hopeful for a good recovery after the destruction of Irma.
"We are an advocate for the small citrus grower. Our mission is to protect, promote, and enhance the ability of our members to produce citrus profitability and efficiently. We prioritize the ability to educate our growers with every resource that we have within the citrus industry."

I'm making an oneyplays animated currently.
I have a bigger scale cartoon, a completely original 3 min~ cartoon that I've been working on for about 2 years now. Thats actually done on my part, but I have multiple things like inbetweens and backgrounds I need other people to do, and I've gotten some people for it, but not having any money to pay people helping means giving them all the time they need. It sucks having this cartoon on the backburner but that is what I have to deal with. This upcoming cartoon is worth the wait though, it's the best thing I've done since the PS3MAS music video. I'd even argue it's TV quality. Ha. That's a stretch.. but it's my best work.
The oneyplays is more to appease anyone waiting for new stuff from me, like the aforementioned cartoon.
I'll probably have more art up too.
I've been streaming me animating on youtube and twitch, more youtube now because I know how to now. I used to only stream on twitch, but I might alternate between the two. but mainly youtube!
YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5enrrjSEvFdekywBFv_RQA

Thanks for checking me out. Stay safe out there!

Designed by renowned nightclub impresario Ashley Sutton – whose portfolio includes the similarly distinctive Iron Fairies, Fat Gut'z and Mr. Jones' Orphanage – Maggie Choo's transports guests into an underground-cabaret milieu where anything and everything seem possible.
Beyond the possible, however, some things are certain: guests enjoy terrific food complemented by an extensive drinks menu of premium wines, beers and spirits. Signature cocktails further define the Maggie Choo's experience, with each imaginative creation expressing in liquid form the sophisticated, cosmopolitan ambience.
Entertainment includes nightly live music, DJ tunes and stage shows. Sunday is the club's popular Gay Night, when instead of lovely ladies swinging from the ceiling it's handsome gents in silk trousers and turbans.
A genuinely underground venue, Maggie Choo's is at basement level of Novotel Bangkok Silom Road – thus mere steps away for hotel guests. On your way there, stop by Stone Bar at lobby level and kick-start the night with one of the bar's own drink promotions.
Maggie Choo's is open every night from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. Confirm performance schedules and keep up with any special events or promotions on the nightclub's Facebook page.

Now its just over 10 years since 9/11 and yet to this day i still find it remarkable how downright gullible some people are. Being totally oblivious to critical thinking. Just looking at the fact that how the even more ignorant can spend time wasting invectives on youtube while at the same time show themselves void of objectively observing what actually happened on 9/11. The majority of them probably young boys with testosterone problems who would be better of listening to The Hellacopters: Hopeless case of kid in denial while sitting at home trying to deny their own denial.
Truly this video is for you. Its amusing that you even comment on it.
THE BIGGEST THEORY ON 9/11 IS THE OFFICIAL THEORY ABOUT THE 19 ARAB HIJACKERS sinking 3 buildings in New York with only 2 planes!

The history of contemporary Ireland and its struggle for independence—excerpted from internationally bestselling author Norman Davies's Vanished Kingdoms
Vanished Kingdoms introduces readers to once-powerful European empires that have left scant traces on the modern map. In this excerpt from his widely acclaimed book, Norman Davies chronicles the history of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland during what is referred to as the Era of National Liberation. Beginning with the Easter Rising of 1916, Davies recounts the difficulties of establishing Home Rule, which would allow for autonomous self-government under the British Crown, and the impact of the IRA and its fraught relationship with the Catholic Church. Along the way, Davies includes stirring portraits of the groundbreaking leaders who fought for Irish independence, such as Eamon de Valera and his organization Sinn Fein, and the well-known songs and poems that helped galvanize a sense of national pride.
A selection from the work The Boston Globe has called "commendably accessible, magisterial, and uncommonly humane," The Battle for Ireland provides a concise overview of modern Irish politics and history with Davies's characteristic vigor and intelligence.

I've finally figured out how to get my PS3 to connect to the internet...
Please tell me Im good.
I know everyone else IN THE WORLD seemed to be able to connect easily, but mine was being an arse. I was told by a tech head friend of mine I had to re-jig a few settings and I'd be fine.
No biggie I hear you say. Either that or Im schizophrenic...
Except I know NOTHING at all about computers.
There were all these Acronyms and numbers and decimal points taunting me. What was I to do? I just had to roll my proverbial trouser legs up, and wallow through the muddy bog of the internet, much like a real man, wading through a real bog, looking for his very real, very lost car keys.
So now I'm just going through the final stages of setting up my account and then I can beat chinese kids at Fifa or summat.
Gimme some loving...
(no ones going to reply)
It took me forever to do mine too.
Fuck, setting up a wireless router took me about 3 hours.
Thank God Im not alone...
it's just whenever I asked a friend about it, they'd tilt their head and "awww" me. As though its as easy as plugging it in and turning it on.
Apparently me router was blocking it, so I had to figure out how to unblock it. Was soooooo complicated, may as well have been written in Spanish.
Now I know how me Nan feels when she's trying to work the Virgin Media box.

Cocomore Becomes Digital Lead Agency for Tele Columbus
As of late Germany's third-largest cable network, the Tele Columbus Group, is hosting its brands under the newly created umbrella PŸUR. After a pitch against three reputable agencies, Cocomore has been appointed PŸUR 's new digital lead agency. Cocomore is now responsible for the entire digital brand identity.
First step for Cocomore was to re-establish the website www.pyur.com. PŸUR allows users to conclude contracts for Internet, TV, mobile and landline easily and fast. Plus, subscribers can combine offers individually and adapt them any time. To reflect the benefit of an uncomplicated, transparent modular concept Cocomore invented an innovative application, the tariff configurator. It helps users to find the right tariff and the appropriate product for their personal needs. A modern design, developed by Cocomore on the basis of PŸUR's new corporate design, completes the new appearance. User experience, visual design, content and frontend development do come from Cocomore as well. The backend development was implemented on the basis of the Adobe Marketing Cloud by Amplexor, an agency based in Augsburg.
"With PŸUR, not only a new name has been invented," explains Tobias Schmidt, Chief Marketing Officer at the Tele Columbus Group. "With our new brand we created a different relationship to our customers. We thank Cocomore for having translated this message conceptually and visually. And we thank them for transferring it into the digital world by inventing the configurator as the core of our platform. "
"PŸUR asked for all our strengths: Marketing, IT and Experience Design. A client like PŸUR is a perfect match for Cocomore", says Willi Kaiser, Managing Director at Cocomore AG.
In the past Cocomore already realized successfully other projects for Tele Columbus. End of 2016, the agency implemented the new concept and creative image of AdvanceTV's new TV offering.
We are looking forward to it.

Strength can be drawn from pain…if the heart can heal faster than it bleeds.
Dara trembled, realizing she was sprawled across Loren like some tavern wench. The effort it took to meet his heated gaze… Fine brows slanted over wide leaf-green eyes pupiled like a cat's, set in a pale aristocratic face. She glanced at his hands gripping her upper arms. Fine artisan's hands with sword calluses, they held like bands of steel, but so gently 'twas nigh a caress. His body warmth was impossible to ignore. She shifted. Unable to hold his gaze, Dara dropped hers—to his mouth. She blushed.
His lips curved in a wry smile. "Now you become shy?" White teeth flashed. "Your hands have already been all over my body."
Dara groaned and closed her eyes. Her cheeks flamed.
"Look at me, Dara." Loren slid his arms around her body.
She tingled at his touch. Restless. Achy. "I can't." She hated this breathless dizziness. "Whatever you're thinking, cease." He was so warm. She feared making a fool of herself and melting against him. The old wives whispered of faerie enchantments; did that happen here? She felt bespelled. She wasn't some weak woman to soften over a man, as any villager could lament. "You were much less intimidating flat on your back and weak as a kitten."
"Intimidating you find me? Prefer me flat on my back in your bed? You have me now." He brought her braid around to his nose and inhaled. "Sunshine and ferns."
Self-preservation urged Dara to stop him before he did something neither of them could undo. "Loren—"
"Dara Kahn Androcles, protect me you did with your life's blood. You are neither indestructible nor immortal. They might have killed you." His hand, still wrapped with her hair, raised her chin 'til her gaze met his. "You must look at me while I speak these next words."
Dara couldn't tear her gaze away. The room spun and receded 'til all her world was Loren. "Don't look at me like that." The weight behind his words crawled under her skin, into her mind.
"My life I owe you. Life-debt. I bind myself to you. Whenever, whatever your need, to you I shall come. To you do I answer with sword, bow, or blood. My life for yours. My soul to yours, until our last breath."
The world shifted. Deep as a prayer, more profound than a spell, his words settled within her. Dara couldn't look away, couldn't move, couldn't breathe. Her head buzzed. Her mind tried to wrench itself from the binding, recognizing it for what it was, but the rest of her trembled, in thrall to his eyes, to his voice. She had no idea how to counter him.
Loren's eyes gleamed at her. "Never again shall you be alone. You are mine, in this lifetime and the next. I shall ever be yours, for always. We are one." With agonizing slowness, he drew her head down 'til her lips brushed his.
His kiss was shocking in its gentleness. As soft as morning dew, it implied, it coaxed, and she was lost. She melted into his heat and swooned against him. With a sigh, she yielded to his lips and returned the kiss. Warmth filled an emptiness she'd not known 'til now that she possessed. Loren had bound them in spirit; where did she end and he begin? He hovered on the edge of her mind, in her heart, in her blood. A part of her flowed into him, with her surrender, with her every breath.
He broke off the kiss. Dara raised her head to stare down at him. "What've you done?"

FILM REVIEW – FREE STATE OF JONES. With Matthew McConaughey, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Mahershala Ali, Keri Russell, Christopher Berry. Written and directed by Gary Ross. Rated R for brutal battle scenes and disturbing graphic images. 139 minutes.
Movies about the American Civil War tend to romanticize the South, which was supposedly fighting for "honor" and "state's rights" and other such things. It's beyond the scope of a film review to explain why such a dishonest and distorted image has long held sway, but modern films–notably the remarkable "12 Years a Slave" (2013)–have provided long overdue balance. Now comes FREE STATE OF JONES, which tells the little-known story of how a group of poor white farmers and freed black slaves engaged in open rebellion against the Confederate authorities in Mississippi.
Newton Knight (Matthew McConaughey) is working as a medic, risking life and limb to pull injured Southern soldiers off the battlefield where they might still die, as treating wounded officers was given priority. When he returns home with the body of a young kinsman he failed to save, he decides he will not go back. Instead, he will take a stand against the Confederate forces who are commandeering the crops and livestock of local farmers, while protecting the interests of the wealthy landowners.
Eventually he must abandon his wife Serena (Keri Russell) and young child to hide in the inaccessible swamps with some runaway slaves. There he meets Moses (Mahershala Ali), and comes to understand that the poor whites have more in common with the oppressed slaves than either has with their oppressors. Soon he is leading a revolt against the Confederacy, unclear if that means they're supporting the Union, but sure they have a common enemy.
Writer-director Gary Ross has had an interesting career, including making "Pleasantville" and "Seabiscuit," faltering a bit when he tried to wrangle the first "Hunger Games" film, but otherwise tackling unconventional stories in a compelling fashion. His work here is riveting, getting away from him only when he tries to compress too much post-Civil War history into a story which focuses mostly on the war years.
McConaughey's powerful performance as the driven Knight is the thread that holds it all together. At turns angry, grimly calm, and warmly humane, he makes it understandable why poor farmers would choose to risk their lives and stand with him. Ali offers up the real honor of the South as Moses, an escaped slave who refuses to submit. Gugu Mbatha-Raw is another standout, as Rachel, a "house slave" who first ministers to Knight's sick child, and then becomes Knight's most important partner.
With its epic sweep and powerful performances shedding light on a little-known chapter of American history, this would have seemed like prime Oscar bait for an autumn release. Instead, its being thrown away now, where it will not likely last long in theaters. By all means see "Free State Of Jones" while you can. It's a timely reminder of how the times and issues may change, but the battle goes on.•••

States agree overhaul of goods, services tax1 min read . Updated: 28 Nov 2007, 04:34 PM IST
States agree overhaul of goods, services tax
States agree overhaul of goods, services tax
New Delhi: States on Wednesday approved the introduction of a combined goods and services tax from 2010, both at federal and state levels, which should reduce the burden on industry, a senior state official said.
In 2004, Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram proposed introducing a national GST by merging all levies on goods and services from 2010. A panel was appointed by Chidambaram this year to start discussions with states and produce a roadmap.
The panel has suggested that the federal government should combine levies like excise duty and service tax into a single federal GST, while states need to merge value-added tax and local levies into a state-level GST.
"In this dual GST structure, an attempt will be made to integrate as many taxes on consumption and services as possible and feasible," Asim Dasgupta, the chairman of a committee of state finance ministers, told reporters.
"There could be more than one GST rate.
"We will ensure there is no double taxation," he said, adding the proposed GST structures would help trim the present "cascading effect" of taxes, and benefit industry and consumers.
"We accept the recommendations (of the panel)," said Dasgupta, also the finance minister of West Bengal.
He said all states would submit their views to the federal government by the end of December.
States and federal government will fix their respective GST rates after ensuring their will be no revenue loss from the proposed changes, as they are seen increasing compliance and spurring growth.

Ford announced today it will introduce an advanced dual-clutch PowerShift six-speed transmission in North America in 2010 for the small-car segment.
PowerShift will deliver the fuel efficiency of a manual gearbox with the convenience and ease of a premium automatic transmission – making it a key enabling technology as Ford targets best in class or among the best fuel economy with every new vehicle it introduces in North America.
"PowerShift represents a true competitive advantage for Ford and is one of the many technologies that will help our global small car platforms set a new world standard for efficiency and drive quality," said Barb Samardzich, vice president, Global Powertrain Engineering, who announced PowerShift's production timing at the 2009 Automotive News World Congress. "This advanced six-speed is an improvement over today's automatic transmissions in terms of fuel economy, while providing customers an even more fun-to-drive experience."
Overall, Ford has committed that almost 100 percent of its transmissions will be advanced six-speed gearboxes by 2013. Six-speed transmissions already have helped vehicles such as the 2010 Ford Fusion achieve best in class fuel economy, while at the same time allowing the Ford Flex and Ford Escape to achieve unsurpassed fuel economy in their respective segments.
Ford is leveraging six-speed transmissions, advanced internal combustion engines such as EcoBoost, hybrids, full electric vehicles, vehicle weight reduction and electric power-assisted steering to improve fuel economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions fleet-wide by 30 percent by 2020.
Compared to traditional automatic four-speed transmissions, PowerShift can help reduce fuel consumption by up to 9 percent depending on the application.
PowerShift provides the full comfort of an automatic with a more sophisticated driving dynamic, thanks to uninterrupted torque from the dual-clutch technology, which consists essentially of two manual transmissions working in parallel, each with its own independent clutch unit. One clutch carries the uneven gears – 1, 3 and 5 – while the other the even gears – 2, 4 and 6. Subsequent gear changes are coordinated between both clutches as they engage and disengage for a seamless delivery of torque to the wheels.
In Europe, Ford currently offers a PowerShift transmission in the Ford Focus. This PowerShift uses a twin wet-clutch system to handle the higher torque levels of the 2.0-liter TDCI engine available in the Focus.
In North America, a dry-clutch derivative of Ford's PowerShift transmission will be used for added efficiency and durability. A dry clutch transmits power and torque through manual transmission clutch facings, while most automatic transmissions utilize wet clutch plates submerged in oil. As a result, the dry-clutch PowerShift transmission does not require an oil pump or torque converter, providing superior mechanical efficiency.
"A dry clutch is a real sweet spot for lighter vehicle applications," said Piero Aversa, manager, Ford Automatic Transmission Engineering. "PowerShift is more efficient, it saves weight, is more durable, more efficient and the unit is sealed for life, requiring no regular maintenance."
PowerShift, unlike conventional automatic transmissions, does not need the heavier torque converter or planetary gears. In addition, the dry-clutch derivative eliminates the need for the weighty pumps, hydraulic fluids, cooling lines and external coolers that wet clutch transmissions require. As a result, the dry-clutch PowerShift transmission can weigh nearly 30 pounds less than, for example, the four-speed automatic transmission featured on today's Ford Focus.

The first phase of the deployment in Nepal will be lead by one of our most experienced DART, Dave Tuzewski (Adelaide, Australia), with the support of one of our newest DARTs, Peter Hazell (Norwich, UK).
Dave's career as a consultant in tourism and cross-cultural business lead to his interest in becoming a founder member of Disaster Aid Australia in 2010 when he also trained as a DART. This deployment will be his fifth having previously participated in three separate relief operations in the Philippines and then in Malaysia over New Year this year.
For Peter, this will be his first deployment for us, having only just completed his Stage 1 training as a DART last month. However, he has had a good grounding. The Nepal earthquake struck on the second day of the training programme, which resulted in the training being reconfigured to use this event as the main test case for the rest of the programme. Indeed, the reports the trainees prepared contributed to the preparations we made for this current deployment. Peter will also be contributing his experience in international business and logistics gained through his career working world wide as both a chartered surveyor and an industrial machine/plant valuer.
Dave arrived in Kathmandu yesterday with two Skyhydrants and Peter will be arriving tomorrow. The first tranche of aid equipment is in transit which includes 200 tents and 200 water filters. A further 400 tents are in Australia ready for shipping and a further 220 tents have been earmarked for dispatch towards the end of the month. As in previous deployments, that DARTS will be making an assessment of appropriate requirements upon arrival. Feedback received so far is that there is a need for blankets which can be purchased locally in line with our policy to support the local economy where possible. Similarly, the DART team will also be assessing whether the provision of building materials will be appropriate to support the repair of the ¼ million houses that have been damaged.

Window Shopping -Justice League Movie Action Figures and Batmobile Revealed
Mattel released the 1st look at the new DC Multiverse Justice League figures and the Batmobile, so lets take a look!
First up is the leader of this Justice Leage, Batman! Batman has a complatly new upper half of his body, to me this 1st look makes him look very wide in the chest. The legs look to be be the same as from the last Batman from BvS and S.S.
The Caped Crusader's new Batmobile, which will get its own toy as part of the Multiverse line.
Jason Momoa's Aquaman looks like a real bad ass, what else is there to say? The figure looks like its lacking a Ab crunch or upper torso cut. If that is true , that is a real shame
For CyBorg, overall i like what i see, looks like they captured the likeness very well
Another Wonder Woman figure, looks like the same figure from the Toys R Us one but with a new head mold. at this point i think we now have more Wonder Woman figures than Batman.
The Flash! i will have to admit the suit looks a lot better in toy form then it does in the movie.
And last but not least, there's the man of steel himself, Superman. This looks like to be the same as the BvS and Man of Steel movie figures just with a new head.
So that is all we have for the Justice League figures, as of right now we do not know what the Collect and Connect figure is, we will most likely learn that by time SDCC rolls around. We also do not have a realese date for the figures, but normaily they roll out give or take two months from when the movies hit the big screen.

Since I am currently unemployed, I have time to stew and rant.
So that's what I'm going to do.
Has anyone been to the grocery store lately?
$1.69 for a Banquet Pot Pie
What do you expect when you keep raising minimum wage?
Lower employment for the part time teenagers, higher costs.
I understood that concept when I was 16.
That "rising tide raises all boats" concept is true.
The tide in this case is wages. You up the wages, then everything else goes up with it.
So the ones that are making minimum wage do not have increased buying power, even though income is higher.
It's always been a political ploy to fool the unintelligent masses.
And it is running this country into the ground.

Remembrance Day is tomorrow and I've been thinking about making a poppy. I've gotten lazy about doing the design skills I learned at SAIT and I need to practice more. One of the cool things we learned was how to look at things and break them into shapes so you can build them. Like a graphic of a house in an add, I now see it as a box with windows and a door. You can build it if you look at it that way.
So here's a poppy and I thought that a cursive would be fitting. On Remembrance Day I usually think about my great uncle who died fighting in France when his plane was shot down. My mother has his journal and she says it is pretty horrible to read. Maybe one day I'll try and brave it. We live in unstable and dark times. We have a lot to think about during our moment of silence.

In Tuesday's Trentonian, ace reporter/award winning columnist L. A. Parker wrote that the East Trenton and Skelton Branch libraries would again host port-o-potties this summer to accommodate the anticipated number of kids participating in the reading programs.
According to the article, Library Director Kimberly Bray admitted that there had been no resolution to the limited bathroom facilities located in staff areas at the two older branches and no one had come up with the estimated $100,000 to due the needed renovation work.
Last year, the Trentonian reported the discovery of the port-o-potties still sitting on library property long after the summer reading program had ended and the school year had resumed. Mr. Parker even posed for the paper by sitting on one of the seats, pants at his ankles, looking as if he was settling in for a long comfortable "session." The ensuing controversy added to the outcry over the poor oversight of the library system by the Mayor appointed board of trustees that became known with the announcement of budget cuts and staff layoffs.
Apparently not ready/willing to suffer more criticism for a repeat of the port-o-potty mess, Mayor Palmer told the Trentonian "That's just not going to happen. We're not going to have our kids put in that position again."
What did the Missing Mayor offer as an alternative?
According to the Trentonian, Palmer suggested that Bray partner with local schools.
"School libraries could handle the large number of students in the summer reading program," Palmer said.
Good idea, Doug. Can you give us some details on how this might work?
As we recall, when announced last fall that the branch libraries might have to close, you suggested a similar solution: use the school libraries. You were obviously ignorant of the fact or didn't care that
a) the school libraries do not equate with the branch libraries when it comes to collections, programs, professional staffNow you are proposing a similar solution for the crowds of children expected to use the libraries over the summer. What has changed?
b) the school libraries are not readily secured from the rest of the school building and vice versa, leaving the buildings susceptible to roaming and potential mischief
1) The libraries have reduced their staff. How can they cover the reading program at the schools and the regular hours and activities at the branches?
2) The schools are not near enough to the existing branches in question to work as a viable alternative location for the reading program.
3) The school district is also facing a budget crisis and layoffs. How are they going to provide the required staff to open, oversee, maintain and close the buildings to accommodate the reading program?
Once again, Doug, you and your handpicked library board of trustees have failed to look beyond the end of your noses to the real needs and requirements of running a viable library system.
Surely, you could have used your charm and persuasiveness to coax some money out of the many developers, contractors, law firms, etc who have done well during your tenure. They could have underwritten the needed renovations to improve the bathroom facilities at these two branches so Director Bray would have a real alternative to renting port-o-potties.
Unfortunately, you would have to be here, in Trenton, regularly; doing the job you were elected to; rather than seeking that leg up for your sinking political career.
You failed again, sir. Moreover, you are too arrogant to realize it.

The two most common phishing scams that affect UK businesses
Phishing scams evolve constantly. Don't they?
On the one hand, yes. Sophisticated cyber criminals are very much aware that, once a phishing scam becomes well known, its potency falls. So, over time, phishing scams adapt and evolve.
On the other hand, the the nuts and bolts of phishing scams are surprisingly static. On the whole, phishing attacks are quick, cheap and disastrously effective. Knowing this, criminals rarely tweak the inner workings of their phishing scams all that much.
How can phishing affect a business?
The consequences of phishing can be severe…
It's widely reported, for example, that tech giants including Facebook and Google sent as much as $100m directly to criminals following a spear phishing campaign that went on for more than two years.
Why Phishing Training Is Important
In 2017, an email prankster targeted the White House.
The prankster's goal was simple: to trick White House staff into responding to fraudulent emails for nothing more than a cheap thrill. With little to gain from the endeavour, the prankster's efforts were basic.
The trickster wrote a simple email purporting to be from Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. He sent it off to Tom Bossert (at the time Homeland Security Advisor). And he waited to see if the security advisor would respond.
Can phishing be prevented?
As phishing filters are far from perfect, can phishing ever really be prevented?
Today, with phishing attacks on the rise and the cyber threat landscape constantly evolving, most companies employ some form of technological phishing filter to help prevent phishing.
Such filters typically rely on machine learning to check and categorise incoming emails and, after doing, prevent suspicious emails from making it into corporate inboxes.
How to identify a phishing email
You've received an email. As no phishing filter can keep out 100% of all phishing attacks, there's a chance the email could be malicious – no matter what it looks like. How do you check whether or not the email is a phishing attack? Step 1: Is the email...
5 ways to get more from cyber security awareness campaigns
Incredibly, traditional cyber security awareness training may actually decrease security awareness. Here's how to ensure your security awareness campaigns increase resilience. Last year, researchers looking into the security of mobile devices inadvertently uncovered...
Why are phishing attacks successful?
Phishing attacks often seem rudimentary. With their spelling and grammar errors, blurry replicas of company logos and conspicuous twists on sender names, they should be easy to spot, shouldn't they? So why is it, instead of dying down, phishing attacks are on the...
How are phishing attacks used in identity theft?
People are more likely to be a victim of identity theft than any other type of cybercrime… and phishing can be a precursor In order to steal your identity, criminals need to get hold of your personal information. That's all it really takes to begin opening bank...
Are phishing attacks on the rise?
In 2018, some reports suggest the number of phishing attacks are falling. Is that really the case? Phishing attacks have been on the rise for a long time now. According to the UK government's most recent cyber security breaches survey, they cause more data breaches...


text: Mid Ulster District Council has paid tribute to Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland football fans. Chair of the Council, Councillor Trevor Wilson, was speaking on his return from the Euros and on the day that Anne Hidalgo, Mayor of Paris, announced fans from Northern Ireland and the Republic were to receive the 'Grand Vermeil', the city's most prestigious award. "I was lucky enough to be in France for the Euros, to see Northern Ireland play and to experience first hand the good humour, good natured banter and exceptional behaviour of all the fans. The supporters from both teams have been incredible ambassadors and have been so well-received by the French people and the French press, that there can be no better tourism advert for Northern Ireland and the Republic. The whole Northern Ireland team played exceptionally well with four players in the squad from the Mid Ulster area and coming from Cookstown I was particularly pleased to watch great performances from Aaron Hughes and Stuart Dallas".

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad bowed to international pressure yesterday, saying he would gradually pull his troops from Lebanon.
But the United States said that was not enough – and called for an immediate end to his country's 29-year occupation of its neighbor.
"We mean complete withdrawal – no half-hearted measures," said State Department spokeswoman Darla Jordan after Assad failed to offer a timetable for the pullout.
U.S. officials have said Washington and European allies are considering "next steps" if Syria doesn't pull out. Those measures could include diplomatic and economic sanctions as well as a tougher U.N. resolution.
"President Assad's announcement is not enough," said Jordan. "The international community has made clear that Syria must withdraw completely and immediately all its military forces and intelligence services from Lebanon."
The announcement came a day after President Bush blasted "any half-hearted" Syrian troop pullout.
"We want that democracy in Lebanon to succeed and we know one cannot succeed so long as she is occupied by a foreign power," he said Friday.
Assad's move came as the United States – along with France, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Nations and the Arab League – stepped up pressure following massive Lebanese protests over Syria's military presence in the country.
Those demonstrations came in the aftermath of last month's assassination of Lebanon's popular former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, a killing for which many blame Syria.
In central Beirut yesterday, thousands of protesters waving Lebanese flags erupted in joy after Assad's announcement.
A mostly young crowd flocked to Martyrs' Square to say they wanted action – not just words. "Syria out! Syria out!" they chanted. "Freedom! Sovereignty! Independence!"
"I am very happy and excited," Collette Hajj said. "I hope we will achieve true independence, as long as we stay here and keep demanding it."
Many of the demonstrators blasted Assad for not mentioning the dismantling of Syria's security role in Lebanon.
The Syrian intelligence service has been under intense fire from Lebanon's opposition, which accused its officers of running the country.
Syria has carried out five redeployments since 2000, pulling some forces to the Bekaa Valley and some back to Syria, but has maintained forces in and around Beirut and in northern Lebanon.
A United Nations Security Council resolution last Sept. 2 called on all remaining "foreign forces" to withdraw from Lebanon.
Assad said Syria, which first deployed troops in Lebanon in 1976, would not relinquish its role.
"Syria's withdrawal from Lebanon does not mean the absence of Syria's role [in Lebanon]," he said. "Syria's strength and its role in Lebanon is not dependent on the presence of its forces in Lebanon."

Nacotheque :: Ahora si!!!
Miiiirrra. Llama a las primas, los vecinos, los gatos, las gatas... Nacotheque is about to mash up the place this Thursday!! Marcelo and Amylu have been hosting a more than killer party in NYC for the last 2 years. This Thursday they're bringing the Nacotheque party to The Loft for their first ever Dallas apperance. Believe me when I say that this is a MUST SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT type of event. We have been going back and forth with Marcelo since March trying to find away to get them down here and FINALLY...
As always we set up a little Q & A with Marcelo and Amylu before they hit the TX. El Jueves va a ser SUMAMENTE HOT!!!
We're all very excited to have the both of you playing at this months Hands Up. We've been hearing great things about the Nacotheque party in NYC for some time now and it's a real treat to be hosting your first Dallas appearance. Could you tell us a little bit about how you two got started as a duo, and for those who haven't been to your NY events, what you might expect to see or hear at a Nacotheque party?
M- We are very excited to play in Dallas! For those who don't know, let me tell ya a bit about us:
The party got started over two years ago in the basement of Cake Shop, a well known indie cafe/bar in the Lower East Side. Amylu used to have a party called "Le One Night Stand" that shared a similar concept and I added the party's profile to my personal myspace account. Amylu took notice of the upcoming Nacotheque listed on my page and decided to check it out. We met, talked, and decided to team up and now this is where we're at.
Nacotheque is about promoting new, old, rare and classic alternative spanish-sung music. We like to point out that alternative doesn't necessarily mean rock or indie, it could be a cumbia, electro or even pop song. It really depends on the tracks content and intent. While we're at it, we like to involve all types of live bands and performers.
A- We met through mutual friends who thought we'd get along because of our similar taste in music and we also met via Myspace when Marcelo befriended my other party profile page and I saw a flyer for the 1st Nacotheque in NY. I was really excited to find someone else with the same kinda interest in that sort of Spanish-sung music. What to expect to hear? hmm, well every song has mostly Spanish or Portuguese lyrics and the styles range from rock n' roll, pop, electropop, indie rock, punk, disco, cumbia, new wave, ye-ye, 80's, etc.
We know your sets are pretty eclectic, musica infantil, new latin rock, central american tunes, musica norteño, 80's, electro... What was the initial reaction from party goers when you first started the night, and how long did it take for NYC to really catch on to what you guys were trying to put out there.
M- Hardly anybody got it, not even us. Some people didn't understand why we would play Babasonicos followed by Veronica Castro and we didn't understand why they didn't understand. I mean, the flyer was pretty clear and both technically qualify as party music. Still, we'd get these really pissed off people asking when we were gonna play salsa and reggaeton (because according to them that's "real latin" music) or get requests for uber played out bands like Heroes Del Silencio, Soda Stereo or El Tri.
It took around a year to really get it off the ground. Next thing we knew the parties were packed and everybody was dancing even the most ridiculous songs in our catalog.
A- The first few parties were in the basement of a small bar in the LES with only a handful of people and only half of them getting the idea of what we were doing. The other half demanded we play commerical reggaeton, salsa, and stuff like Shakira (obviously we told them to beat it).
It took a little over a year for people to start catching on and when they did, they started bringing their friends, cousins, brothers, sisters, etc etc and kept coming back for more!
Congrats on getting nominated "best party in NYC" this past year. We've heard from around the way the Nacotheque 2 year Anniversary w/ Miti Miti was off the chain! Any crazy stories from that night?
M- Thanks! That was a fun night. I remember Telemundo was filming and we had just flown in from Madrid. We basically went from the airport to the club. I had all sorts of brain farts while I was being interviewed. Still, I found that being covered by Telemundo on our two year anniversary was a little ironic since a big part of why I created the event was to evade the horrible "latino" representation within the mainstream media. To my disappointment (and after I felt I was pulling a fast one on them) I saw the interview and noticed Miti Miti had been edited out.
A- Hmm, well, the club surprised us with painting the floor with a brand new coat of black paint. It was all shinny when we arrived in the beginning of the night....by the end of the night the paint was smudged everywhere from people dancing and spilling drinks all over the place! Also, Miti Miti brought out a really cool looking crowd of about 15 girls dressed like they just came out of an 80's MTV hip-hop video.They danced all night.
How, if at all, has the Nacotheque party changed since it's beginning in 2006?
M- God, everything and nothing. Many venues, new people, all sorts of bands/performers, we've event taken it to the road! But at heart the party is still about the same thing; spanish-sung music.
A- The party finally has a homebase club, Fontana's. Marcelo and I now travel to other cities and countries to DJ, which helps promote the party in NY and the bands that we spin. Nacotheque has become more than just a party, we are now a brand and a tastemakers for all the music that we spin.
We see you're heading to Monterrey Mexico shortly after the your Dallas date. We know Mexico has an intense underground rock scene and we've heard their electro scene is pretty slamming too. Could you tell us a bit about your travels in Mexico and how people have responded to what you're doing out there?
M- Mexico has always been good to us but people erroneously assume it's because of the language. We spin stuff in spanish, that's what they speak so it's just gonna work right? Nope. There's a really odd challenge about playing places like Mexico and Spain. Most of the "cool" kids in those countries don't really listen to stuff in spanish, they might know a few bands here and there but they hardly respect them. Cool kids in Mexico City and Barcelona listen to MIA and Justice; they don't wanna know anything about Hidrogenesse or Javiera Mena.
I have a few theories about this but It's a long conversation so I'll stop here but thankfully it always works out for us.
A- Mexico has definitely been giving us good feedback from our DJ tours there. We've been to Mexico City, Guadalajara, Puebla, and TJ so far. Some people traveled from DF to Puebla or LA to TJ to hear us spin. The first time we spun in DF the crowd went crazy and stayed dancing until they got kicked out and there were tons of kids asking for music from Spain as opposed to Mexican stuff.
Anything you'd like to say to Dallas before they get that Nacotheque treatment on Thursday? Shout outs, warnings, saluditos?
M- I think we've covered any sort of warning by now. All I can say is come to the party and be prepared to be offended, wowed and satisfied. All at once!
1. Bring your good vibes
2. Bring your dancing shoes
3. Bring your friends, family, lovers, cousins, brothers, and sisters...Even if they don't speak Spanish!
4. Get ready to get sweaty;-)
Nacotheque has three short mixes that are downloadable via their Myspace pages...
Marcelo :: Mini DJ Mix 5 :: Mini DJ Mix 6
Amylu :: Tacones y Mohawks Sampler Mix

Dallas and Reese were married at First Christian Church followed by a wonderful reception at the Abilene Country Club. This was my second time to shoot at this particular church and I have to say it's one of my favorites. It really is beautiful with all of the window light!
This was a special couple and family that were brought together on this day! It was truly meaningful and exciting. Here are my favorites:)

In a recent McSweeney's article titled "RIP, 2017" writer Pete Reynolds unapologetically sums up, "In life, 2017 was an avid collector of mass shootings, devastating natural disasters, and unfortunate accounts of famous old men groping their female colleagues." Counter to this resoundingly "bad", 2017 also delivered varying degrees of good, including the Women's March, the legalization of same-sex marriage in Australia, and Greta Gerwig's directorial debut Ladybird. Whether your outlook is steely focused on inspiring stories of progress, or fixated on negative tales of resurgent fascism and our seemingly obdurate march toward nuclear warfare, I think we can all agree that we are bidding adieu to 2017 on a somewhat conflicted note.

Mr. P. And The Wayward Writer
Mr. P. was an eccentric. An intellectual. A philosophizing soul who was respected by staff and idolized by students. Broad-shouldered and tall, he had a lengthy beard matched by a pair of thick sideburns. When I first met him, I expected a deep, authoritative voice to emerge, but instead a far more tempered one spoke, with a candid hippie-like inflection reminiscent of The Dude in The Big Lebowski. Though he evades description, if I were to venture one, physically, Mr. P. kind of resembled Santa Claus. Or rather, St. Nick's maverick brother, who rebelled by rejecting the family business, and absconding to the Canadian West Coast, proclaiming, "To hell with snow and pine trees, man. I'm moving south and teaching the generation of tomorrow!"

The UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) has launched a task group examining health and wellbeing in homes, bringing together more than 30 UKGBC members, from architects and developers to housebuilders and housing associations.
The task group will look at:
- The evidence base – Does robust evidence exist of the health and wellbeing benefits of well-designed, sustainable homes? Where are the gaps?
- Developing common metrics – How can we measure health and wellbeing outcomes in residential buildings? What metrics and indices should be used?
- Linking benefits to value – Where evidence of health and wellbeing benefits does exist, does this translate into financial 'value'?
- Guidance and best practice – What guidance and best practice information on green building features that enhance health and wellbeing currently exists? And what marketing messages resonate with consumers?
The final report of the task force will be launched at an industry event in autumn of next year.
A separate task group on health and wellbeing in retail buildings is being led by UKGBC as part of the World Green Building council's Better places for people campaign.

If royalty is for Music director, what about royalty to Raga creatorDear Members,
There is a tussle between Music director Ilayaraja and Playback singer SP Balasubramaniyam. The Music director asks for royalty from the playback singers for singing his compositions.
My question is - If a Playback singer is insisted to pay royalty to the music director for his tune and music, what about the royalty to the great Raga composers from the music directors who uses their Ragas? What about the royalty to the lyrics writer from the music director?
Has Ilayaraja ever paid royalty to Vairamuthu, vali and other lyrics writers, whenever Ilayaraja conducted a music concert?
What is your good view and comment?

Of the Flesh
Oh Lord how I try to be like You and knowing my fault.
It saddens me so to be weak in the flesh.
I am in a sea of confusion and yet I know of the Promised Land.
I long to be delivered, but I am yet but a man.
Striving to be free of the flesh and searching for the answer of the spirit.
When tested I fail, I will not give in totally.
Humbled and broken, I have nothing to give.
My soul I pray for the Lord to set free, so in Him I may live in eternity.
I am not perfect nor am I close, but I have felt Him.
In the presence of my body He came upon me one night.
A lost sinner I am, that even He so loved.
No matter what I do, He will be there.
How they must have felt in the wilderness, I can only dream.
For their Promised Land was but a short distance away.
Even as mine is but a short ways from me
It seems like an ending closing in on his grace.
Oh Lord forgive me of my sinful ways.

Irvington Teachers--1927
Teachers take time out in 1927 to pose for the camera in front of School #57 (East Washington and Ritter Ave). Oral histories conducted by the Irvington Public Library in the 1970s and 1980s reveal that some of these ladies were loved while others feared. You will note that none of them married. In this photo--standing (from left to right) Miss Genevieve Burns, Miss Nessler, Miss Alwes, Miss Early, Miss Vance, and ?--seated (from left to right) Miss Winders, Miss Loeper, principal.

Teething can sometimes be a difficult stage for infants. Below are some helpful tips and pointers regarding ways in which you as parents can confront your child's teething issues.
Keep in mind there are several signs/symptoms your child may display that can be related to their teething, including, drooling, diarrhea and a low-grade fever.
"Keeping your child hydrated, sticking to a BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce and toast) and giving them children's Tylenol will often reduce the diarrhea and fever, and alleviate some of the pain associated with teething."
Chilled teething rings are very helpful as they tend reduce the pain and swelling of the gum tissue. The hard material also helps break-up the gum tissue and allow the teeth to erupt a bit faster. If your teething toddler will not tolerate a chilled teething ring, massaging the gums with your fingers also helps to alleviate some of the pain and irritation from teething.
"Wooden teething rings, Sophie the Giraffe and teething necklaces made of hard cotton balls are great alternatives to chilled teething rings."
I always warn parents about the dangers of Baby Orajel. I know it is marketed as a topical to help with teething issues in toddlers, but there have been some very serious medical complications, in particular, methemoglobinemia (a blood disorder that decreases your red blood cells ability to release oxygen), with its use in children under 2 years of age. Here is a helpful link discussing this in more detail: FDA Warning for Baby Orajel
Finally, avoid using other over-the-counter products that have not been tested for their efficacy or safety. I would first speak with your pediatric dentist before using these products.
As always, if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment!

"Every God is a God of death."
My third Andrzej "Unresolved Issues with Women" Zulawski film is also the first one I've outright enjoyed – though whether that's because I actually dig this or have just become numbed to Zulawski's abrasive style is up for debate.
Anyway, Szamanka is the story of an anthropologist who simultaneously becomes obsessed with a polish student known only as 'The Italian' and the centuries-old body of a Shaman. As these obsessions dovetail, the anthropologist's life – hell, everyone's lives – falls apart.
Szamanka exists in two modes: violent sex and freakout screaming. Like his most well known film Possession, this is about the possessed – The Italian is possessed by … something wild (maybe), the anthropologist is possessed by The Italian, and the world is possessed by chaos.
The Italian and the anthropologist's relationship is based in BDSM, though neither accept the place of the sub, instead spending the entire film trying to dominate the other. As their relationship intensifies, the world itself seems to tear apart, and Zulawski starts abandoning traditional logic in his storytelling. He begins likening their sexual exploits to a spiritual experience, and religion in general as a channel through which sexual desire is twisted. As a crying The Italian drips the anthropologist's semen onto his arm in the shadow of a makeshift crucifix, I found myself numb to the crazy imagery, but also entranced. Maybe it's because the hysteria never lets up, but I finally found myself lost in a Zulawski film. Maybe that's the point of all of his works. When hysteria becomes normalised, the only way to feel something is to become more hysterical.
All of this violent outdoing of itself eventually culminates in a scene reminiscent of Possession, except this one actually made me recoil in horror – you'll know the moment when you see it. Zulawski returns to the same themes again and again, and I don't know if I feel comfortable with how much he feints towards outright misogyny, but he's never less than absolutely fascinating.
P.S. There is a scene in this film in which a guy smokes three cigarettes at once from his fist. I found this intriguing.
