The Aesthetician's Kit contains incredible, potent products for uncovering glowing, clear, healthy skin. Discard old, chemical laden "beauty creams" and harsh soaps that do more damage to skin than good. Use the power of nature to gently cleanse, hydrate, and perfect every complexion.
Nature's garden clearly supplies our skin's best partners when it comes to creating a harmonious skin care routine. From early on most of us were taught to scrub, lather, exfoliate rinse and repeat until the skin is squeaky clean. Over time this harsh routine ages, dries and stresses our skin so that we no longer have clear glowing youthful skin, but skin that has concerns and premature aging or evidence of stress: redness, scarring, irritation and congestion. Switching to a gentle, effective botanical skin care routine will have you squealing with delight, not only over the skin-indulgent, aromatic home spa routines, but by how your skin thanks you by normalizing and balancing with care that supports and nourishes the skin as opposed to stripping and stressing it.
The Skin Care Kit includes everything you need, for every skin type and concern, for cleansing, detoxifying/clarifying, hydrating, and moisturizing. You can mix and match the products to complete you own personal collection, and customize it by choosing essential oils for your skin concern to boost effectiveness of the applications.
Aromatherapy and a great-smelling, purified space at the touch of a button. Many people choose to diffuse essential oils to fill their homes with incredible aroma, but that's just one benefit. Studies show that the most effective way to receive the benefits of essential oils is to diffuse them into the air. Diffusing essential oils will keep vitality and spirits high and increase community immunity.

This traditional Polynesian blend has been used in the Pacific for over 1500 years. While the ingredients vary somewhat from island to island this particular recipe is a fantastic addition to your skin care routine. The contents of this oil are sourced entirely from the Polynesian outlying island of Rotuma, in Fiji. Every nut, leaf and flower is wildcrafted and either cold pressed or infused in the coconut oil base with no use of heat or preservatives. The result is an entirely natural product which absorbs rapidly into the skin, leaving no residue or oily film.
Our Rotuma Oil is rich and nourishing for the face, entire body and hair. Add a small amount to your palms and massage into a freshly cleansed face every few days or as needed. Apply freely to entire body especially dry or rough areas. We love using Rotuma Oil for a deeply nourishing hair treatment. Apply to hair, especially the ends, and allow to penetrate (for a deep treatment leave on for an hour up to a few hours). You can use either before washing or use a smaller amount as a leave in taming/styling product.
Ingredients: Niu oil base (Cocos nucifera; coconut oil), Hefau kernel oil (Calophyllum inophyllum; marula oil), Siursi kernel oil (Aleurites molucanna; palm), Pipi nut infusion (Atuna racemosa), Moskoi flower infusion (Cananga odorata; Ylang-ylang)
Hydrosols are the aromatic waters which are a byproduct of steam distilling plants for essential oil production. They are an extremely healing, moisturizing, balancing ally of the skin. They are soothing, easy to use, and quite effective. You can layer them in your skin care routine, or spritz the face during the day for a pick me up. Spritz a hydrosol onto the face after a work out, gently wipe clean, and follow up with a serum or cream moisturizer.
Hydrates, renews the skin, reduces ages spots and adorns the skin with the uplifting beautiful scent of this golden flower.
A wonderful hydrosol, wild-harvested in Somalia, with an extraordinary fragrance that is slightly sweeter than the oil; supports meditation and radiant skin. Great for all skin types.
A soothing organic hydrosol from Corsica with a delicate, herbaceous aroma. Absolutely nourishing, quenching, redness relieving for delicate face or whole body misting. Perfect to layer on your skin after cleansing but before moisturizing. Great for delicate or upset skin concerns.
Rose oil and its hydrolate counterpart, rosewater, with its complex chemical profile of at least 275 compounds, possess a vast number of therapeutic applications. Rose hydrosol nourishes skin health and restores skin's radiance, beauty and youthfulness. Rose hydrosol helps restore moisture balance and is used to enhance circulation, support heart health and encourage healthy blood pressure.
Emotionally and spiritually, rose has a long history of gracefully settling the mind and emotions, nourishing the heart, and enlivening the spirit. It is helpful for those worn down by life's difficulties, grieving a loss or those wishing to nourish and enhance self esteem. A nurturing and supportive hydrosol, it is used to promote deep, restful sleep, and to engender feelings of well-being and happiness. Rose is often symbolic of love, passion, devotion, and spirituality.
Carrier oils, also known as base oils, are usually cold pressed oils, made from nuts and seeds, and are distinctly not essential oils. Carrier oils are safe to apply directly, and generously, to the skin. A carrier oil should be thought of as food for the skin, they are rich and nourishing and support the skin's detoxification and moisture balance. In botanical skin care you can use oils to wash the face, remove makeup, apply before and after sun exposure, shave with, massage with, for general moisturizing, and of course, add essential oils to improve the skin with a custom blend for the desired intention. Carrier oils have different qualities, such as being warming or cooling, and most people, through careful guidance, tend to find carrier oils that just work best for their unique skin.
Our organic jojoba oil, with its bright and golden sunlit color, is a highly regarded moisturizer due to its fatty acid profile closely resembling that of our skin's own sebum. It is also prized due to its advanced molecular stability that resists rancidity. Jojoba is incredibly shelf stable, but will last best if kept out of direct sunlight and heat, as with any carrier oil.
Rosehip oil is known for its remarkable effects on the skin, with an affinity for aging, wrinkled and weathered skin. Rose hip oil is prized for its ability to renew the skin and add radiance and youthful moistness. It can be very well utilized for skin discomfort, irritation or redness, as it is quickly absorbed by the skin. It is an important ingredient in cosmetic products such as facial creams and body lotions.
Rosehip oil is extracted from the seeds of the fruit of rosa canina, also known as Rosa moscheta, that grows wild in the southern Andes. Our rosehip seed oil is wild harvested and certified organic. Our rosehip oil is then cold pressed and filtered, maintaining all its natural properties and rich nutrients. This is how the rosehip seed oil retains its original, naturally brilliant, clear orange color. This rosehip oil should be kept refrigerated.
We like to use our cold-pressed, nutrient-rich rosehip oil as a carrier oil for our daily massage oil. Combined with small amounts of essential oils of lavender or pure rose oil, or used alone, our rosehip seed oil is a fantastic moisturizer for the skin. Use rosehip seed oil for treatment of skin conditions such as scars, burns, and eczema by massaging it directly into the affected area regularly.
All of our Floracopeia master blends are 100% pure essential oils. They are so versatile: they can go into the UltraMist diffuser to be experienced in the air, they can be added to your massage oils to deepen the effect of a massage, or they can be added to a water spritzer to mist throughout the day.
Many people use aromatherapy to create a relaxing, spa-like environment. Relax blend assists in instantly creating a peaceful, serene environment. Surround yourself with a wonderfully sweet, floral fragrance of fruitiness and spice that captures the aroma of the flowering Himalayan mountainside. Relax is a blend of Lavender and Rhododendron essential oils.
Use the Relax Blend in times of stress. This is a fabulous diffuser blend when you want to create a relaxing and pleasing environment. It has beautiful mood enhancing effects that are soothing and calming.
Non-toxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing. Do not take internally.
Like our essential oil blends, these single essential oils are so very versatile. To be able to tailor custom essential oil blends for individual skin types or concerns is a very effective healing art. We included oils in this kit that can turn dull, delicate, aging, red, troubled, congested skin concerns around with the power of nature's gift of essential oils. These oils are often included in the very best, most effect skin care remedies.
Wild carrot seed oil, also known as Queen Anne's Lace, is an ideal all-purpose, healthy skin treatment. As helpful support for cell regeneration at the skin's deepest level, carrot seed oil has a pronounced effect on skin health and is often considered an essential component of many skin care formulations. Carrot seed oil can be used as a first line of defense for supporting aging or environmentally stressed skin.
Carrot seed oil plays a supportive role when added to your favorite facial creme and will help boost the effectiveness. Just add a drop or two to your favorite moisturizer to greatly enhance your skin care routine. This oil can also be used as the principal essential oil in your own, custom made formula for supporting overall skin health. Diffused, carrot seed oil is grounding and soothing to the mind. This oil has a rich, spicy and earthy fragrance.
Generally non-toxic, non-irritating, non-sensitizing, carrot seed oil can nevertheless cause minor irritation if applied directly in large amounts to sensitive skin. Do not take carrot seed essential oil internally.
Very few oils can boast such a broad spectrum of effective therapeutic use, promoting a healthy inflammatory response.
Helichrysum italicum contains high levels of neryl acetate, the compound responsible, along with its synergistic constituents, for unmatched support in tissue rebuilding and healing.
Helichrysum essential oil is a vital component of cosmetic skin care formulations, and is reputed to support the multiplication of the skin's natural collagen count, contributing to the reduction of wrinkles. Supportive in the healing of wounds, bruises, and scar tissue, helichrysum significantly enhances skin health, regeneration and beauty.
Its overall cleansing effect and its ability to support a healthy inflammatory response make helichrysum a great support to the respiratory, immune, and neurological system providing mood uplifting and stress reduction benefits to boot.
Non-toxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing. Do not take helichrysum essential oil internally.
The oil from this unique species of sandalwood, Santalum spicatum, represents one of the rare success stories of the preservation of this endangered aromatic treasure. Harvesting of this variety of sandalwood is performed only under stringent license conditions enforced by the State Government, which requires that 12 seedlings are planted to replace each harvested tree. One of perfumery's most revered substances, sandalwood oil is prized for its tranquil, nourishing and satisfying fragrance. This sandalwood oil is extracted using the supercritical CO2 method, which allows for retention of the broadest aromatic profile possible. The resulting fragrance quiets the mind and emotions, opens the heart, enhances concentration and awakens intuition. It also enhances romantic moods with its soft, sensual, opening and centering spicy-warm fragrance.
Let this Floracopeia favorite infuse your meditation and skin care routines with the pristine healing elements of nature at it's purest. Sandalwood oil is perfect for home blended beauty formulas, where it is regenerative and healing to red, upset to normal skin. It is considered highly sattvic, which means it promotes good health, tranquility, clarity and is very safe to use.
Non-toxic, non-sensitizing, non-irritant. Do not take sandalwood essential oil internally.
Exquisite and available in extremely limited amounts, this oil is distilled from hand-harvested flowers of wild, high-altitude lavender.

Wal-Mart: "But how to eat it?" Top 5 Page for this destination Richmond Shopping Tip by matcrazy1
Richmond Shopping: 78 reviews and 70 photos
I was in Richmond and Mechanicsville some three weeks before Halloween. There were tons of pumpkins displayed in front of the Mechanicsville Wal-Mart.
I didn't think seriously about buying any (that would have sure enough put my luggage over the weight limit). Hmm... I even didn't know how to pronanunce (Nat and many Southerners pronounce it PUN-kin), use or eat a pumpkin (fresh or boiled ?) that time :-))). Pumpkins are not popular (= not easy available) in my country, Poland.
What to buy: Before Halloween (31 Oct.) surely pumpkins are more for decorations than for eating. In the late autumn between Halloween and Thanksgiving (late November), many Americans all over use the leftover pumpkins to make pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread. Krispy Kreme even has pumpkin doughnuts as a seasonal favourite.
What to pay: $2.97 per one pumpkin (size like on my picture).
Address: 7430 Bell Creek Rd, Mechanicsville, VA 23111
Directions: From I-295 take exit 37 to US-360 East (Mechanicsville Turnpike), drive it 0.3 mi and turn first right to SR-642 (Bell Creek Rd), the store 0.7 mi on the left.

All The Deets Behind JWOWW's MTV Movie Awards Nominations Spectacular Outfit (And Where To Buy It!)
JWOWW at MTV on March 6.
Photo: MTV
OMG, can you believe the 2013 MTV Movie Awards are just a month away? Neither can we! So far we've solidified a killer host (hayyy, Rebel Wilson!) and set a date for all the awesomeness to go down (April 14!), but we were still DYING to know who was nominated at this year's show. Luckily, last night we brought in our own MTV News correspondant Josh Horowitz and JWOWW to give us a breakdown of all the categories and noms during the Movie Awards Nominations Spectacular show, which aired lived straight from our newsroom. As we were watching the livestream, we couldn't help but wonder where our Jersey Shore girl swiped up her comfy-cool ensemble, so we did what anyone would do--asked her all the deets on her outfit!
As it turns out, you can cop JWOWW's ENTIRE. LOOK. from Forever 21, like, right now. As in, this very second. She wore a gray and gold metallic British flag tank with a high-to-low black tulip skirt, which TOGETHER costs under $50. Pretty awesome, right? She finished the look with a stretchy black belt and gray Naughty Monkey embellished heel pumps. For her beauty look, she sported a soft smoky eye with a glossy nude lip and red-tipped waves. For her nail game, she wore a gold glitter gradient mani on long stiletto tips. Perf! To peep this outfit in action, be sure to watch the entire Movie Awards Nominations Spectacular below (and then cop her entire look!)

Thomas, the Big Ten's leading scorer at 21 points per game, sat out about 3 minutes while an open cut over his right eye was bandaged. The Buckeyes (14-4, 4-2 Big Ten) led by 24 points with under 13 minutes left but watched as Iowa cut the lead to four with 1:30 remaining.

Aaron Craft and Lenzelle Smith Jr. both had 12 points and Evan Ravenel added 11 for Ohio State. The Buckeyes used a 10-0 run bridging halftime to build a 24-point lead. Iowa rallied to draw within five points on White's bank shot with 2:30 left. Ohio State missed a shot but rebounded it, before Craft was called for an offensive foul. White then was fouled and hit the second of two to cut the lead to 63-59 with 1...

Followed the recipe right on down even though I'm not big on custard, 'cause I'm no fool & wanted to make it right! Finished it off with the pistachios & served it with a simple pound cake for A GREAT TASTING DESSERT & something I'd definitely make again! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This was very good, though I soaked my cranberries in water as I had no ruby port :( The mixed flavors of sweet, tart and tangy were fabulous. This made for a very satisfying salad and dressing. Thanks Syd, for a new keeper. Made for the ZINGO round of ZWT5, for the Bodacious Brickhouse Babes.
Great different and tasty salad! I used red wine vinegar instead of raspberry, and replaced the water in the dressing with the appropriate amount of the liquid from the soaking cranberries (which were fantastic, by the way!). Great as is, even better as a meal salad topped with some sliced grilled chicken. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I love this salad! I didn't measure so I figure 2 oz is about 1/4 cup. I also used the whole pkg of cranberries (6 oz) the whole piece of cheese (about 1/2 pound) and the whole pkg of almonds (that was about right). Also my lettuce pkg was about 5 oz. So even though my amounts were off this is a fabulous salad that I could eat all day long. Thanks for sharing!

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
The best of Star Wars

This is my favorite Star Wars movie. I know that a lot of fans say that it is the worst of the old movies. But I disagree. As a space opera as Star Wars really is, this movie is perfect. The weird kind of hidden humor in it is fantastic, and the way Mark Hammil portray Luke becomming a Jedi is also great. It also have the best opening scene I've ever seen. The hole thing at Jabba's place is just great. It has nothing special to do with the plot, but it still takes a great deal of time, typically space opera. Anyway, I won't write more because there are probably zounds of other post out there that you want to read.

We recently received this title on contemporary typography from the friendly folks at Princeton Architectural Press. The book takes a look at the minimalistic typographic work of a variety of well-known and not-so-well-known designers.
The Modernist / Published by Gestalten
Looking for some new inspiration or something to add to your summer reading list? Here's a few of the titles that we've received within the last month or so.
In our current day and age we have a plethora of opportunities to view designers' sparkling clean, polished work. It's not as often that we get to view the process or beginnings of this work. Julia Rothman's new book, Drawn In takes us into the pages of sketchbooks from 44 artists, designers and cartoonists.
On a recent and most adventurous trip to the South of France, I had the pleasure of visiting the small village of Montolieu. Known as the "Village of Books," Montolieu has a grand array of artisans that specialize in book binding and printing as well as antiquarian bookstores specializing in everything from vintage periodicals and antiquities to comics, art and kids books.
Today's post will unearth some of my favorite finds from my trip, including books illustrated by J.P. Miller, Charley Harper, and Alain Gree.
Wucius Wong's 1976 release, Principles of Three-Dimensional Design, is an educational book aimed at helping designers and artists wrap their heads around the physical space of objects. Concentrating on the use of simple planes and lines in geometric constructions combined with a thorough breakdown of our understanding of three-dimensional objects, Wong demonstrates how seemingly complex configurations can be easy to plan and construct. What I really want to share with you, however, are the tremendous images of models and diagrams created for the pages of this publication. (more…)
Taking another look back into San Francisco design studios as they stood in the late '70s, I bring you the second in a series of posts from the book Graphic Design San Francisco. Today, we'll take a look at Keating & Keating, who in present day is known as Kate Keating Associates, Inc., a heavy hitting SF corporate design firm.
"Keating & Keating have an attitude toward their work that can be stated in a definition of graphic design as 'the architecture of visual communication.' They believe that a project should entail not just applied cosmetics, but rather must be approached from a thorough problem-solving process in order to be successful." (more…)
With a collection of 3,250 glorious icons, Handbook of Pictorial Symbols is great inspiration for any designer. Gathered from sources from around the world, these elegant yet minimal icons are a reminder that simplicity is truly key. Below is a small selection of my favorites from the book.
Mimmo Castellano is an award-winning graphic designer and photographer who got his start in the port city of Bari located in the South-East corner of Italy. It was here that he landed a position with Laterza, a prominent publishing house, where he designed many of the book covers. This collaboration would last for over twenty years. In the late 60s he moved to Milan to further his career as a designer and taught at the European Institute of Design. In more recent years he has been researching digital imaging connected with photography and photomechanics.
"The Gap Records and Tapes, San Francisco."
Graphic Design San Francisco is a book that was published in the late '70s by the Institute for Graphic Design (which would later become AIGA SF) and Chronicle Books. For the first in a series of posts about the works of San Francisco Bay Area designers and firms, as their portfolios stood on the brink of the '80s, I present to you Harry Murphy + Friends.
"The Philosophy of Harry Murphy + Friends is to maintain design work of consistently high quality, while producing a large volume of projects involving an exceptionally wide range of related disciplines, frequently with rigorous deadlines.
Since locating in the San Francisco area in 1966, Harry Murphy + Friends has won over 700 national and international design awards for architectural graphics, space design, environmental art, corporate identity, print graphics, and packaging."

I'm using iRibbon as a template (I also purchased the ProVersion by the way). On the comments page there is a
title
 which says 'Verlaat een boodschap' a translation of 'Leave a message'. But this is a wrong and awful translation. I want to alter it into a much simpler: 'Uw boodschap', because this is a Dutch website, but I can't find the file that this title is defined in. Can anybody help me with this?
Furthermore, I'd like ton change the color of the banner. I succeeded in changing the right and left arrow, but the actual banner itself? I can't find where to change that style. It should be background-color #68972E instead of # 6A8484.
Kind regards,
Joost Walter

Soldiers currently have a piecemeal approach when gathering and sharing information on the battlefield. Because they are on foot, dismounted squads particularly risk surprise attacks since they rely on line-of-sight and must get very close to identify threats -- a limitation that DARPA has asked tech vendors to address in a recent request for information (RFI). Vendors have until May 22 to present concepts for technologies that would enable the "digitization" of dismounted squads, according to DARPA.
The agency has presented several focus areas in the RFI. One of them is sensing technologies for soldier health, operational status and location. This includes methods for monitoring physical health parameters -- such as heart rate and blood pressure -- that may impact soldiers' performance. Also important is the ability to automatically monitor ammunition capacity, physical load and communications. DARPA said it's looking for geolocation technologies, particularly for areas where there isn't global positioning system (GPS) access.
Another area of focus is non-optical remote sensing. The RFI asks for technologies that offer capabilities beyond vision or address the environmental limits in visual methods for surveillance, detection, identification, classification, tracking and measuring range. Examples of these non-optical remote sensing technologies include radio frequency (radar), acoustic (infrasonic and ultrasonic), olfactory and seismic. The other component is distributed sensing. Sensors worn by soldiers or deployed on a moving platform like a missile could provide squads with non-line-of-sight situational awareness.
[ Want to see how the Pentagon uses robotics on the battlefield? See Military Drones Present And Future: Visual Tour. ]
DARPA also seeks "tactical information synthesis and delivery," which is essentially a better way for squads to deal with large amounts of information. For instance, interpreting 3‐D map data to identify key locations on the battlefield, or recognizing moving vehicles and people. An additional challenge, DARPA said, will be utilizing the processing and storage capabilities available on handhelds and devices carried by soldiers.
In order for all of these technologies to work effectively, robust communications networks are needed. The RFI lists possible solutions that are short-range, high‐bandwidth, low‐power, covert and resistant to disruptions.
DARPA program manager Army Lt. Col. Joseph Hitt said such innovations could give soldiers enough time to react in dangerous situations without getting too close to attackers. The agency on Wednesday published an artist's concept of situational awareness technologies at work. "With digitization, the squad's long-loiter Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flying overhead could detect hostiles, alert the squad and automatically trigger the squad's quadruped robot to investigate ... The robot could automatically inform all squad members via visual and other cues about the hostiles' composition, location and weapon types," Hitt said in a statement. "We're looking to leverage emerging technologies, integrate and optimize them through rigorous experimentation, and deliver the decisive technological advantage dismounted squads deserve."
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

At the heart of the so-called Hobby Lobby case before the U.S. Supreme Court is the argument that companies owned by Christian opponents of abortion should not be forced to provide insurance covering certain forms of contraception. It's a matter of religious freedom, they say.
But there are two fundamental problems with this argument:
1. The claim that certain forms of contraception are abortifacients is not supported by most medical experts.
2. More to the point, why should Christian opponents of abortion be granted an exemption from law on the basis of their religious beliefs? After all, abortion is legal, ...

I have a blog with multiple authors and I'm trying to find a plugin that would allow each author to upload their own icon from their profile page and have it displayed at the top left of each post, with the title, date, etc. floating to the right of the image. Mentalfloss.com is a perfect example of what I have in mind.
I've searched all over the forums and the plugin directory, but I can't seem to find quite what I'm looking for. Any suggestions?

In France, when gathered with friends, it is customary to drink beers or other light alcohol around 7pm, and this time is called apéritif (or apéro). Does this custom have an English (UK and/or US) equivalent? How would you say "on se verra à l'apéro"?
Sign up

The term cocktail hour has been used in the US to mean
However, this is not limited to beer and light alcoholic beverages, but may include wine or strong spirits as well.
Some places have "happy hour", where a bar serves slightly cheaper drinks in the early evening.
There's a whole load of vernacular expressions for going to the pub and having a drink, but they're not really associated with a time: "go for a pint", "swift half", etc.
The apéro is a French phenomenon, a particularly pleasant one --especially when combined with ti' punch-- but as already pointed out there is no equivalent term for it in English because the custom itself does not exist.
The closest translation I can think of is tea. In Britain and the British world, you can meet for tea which means something to eat and, well, tea. The exact time varies from place to place and according to social background (see the link above) but come over for tea will be understood in the British world as come over this afternoon for a light snack and a drink.
As a native English speaker living in the south of France I must stress again that this does not have the same connotations as the French apéro. For example, alcohol may well be absent if you meet for tea while it most certainly will be present if you meet for apéro. Still tea is the closest you'll find in English.
EDIT: Coctail hour is indeed closer despite this being the accepted answer.
I think the closest equivalent has another French word:
Hors d'oeuvre which is also called Appetizers
It is more food related, but is close to your situation as in
That said, I (Danish) would certainly understand what you meant if you asked me to join you for an apéritif
In spite of what is being said, I believe that "Happy Hour," traditionally after high tea (4pm) and before the evening meal (supper/dinner around 7 or 8pm) is a common tradition where not only are drinks cheaper in order for the establishment to attract a larger clientele in this off-hour, but often nibbles or little bite-sized food and appropriately small plates are provided gratis. Both provided by private or commercial establishments to boost their off-hours with the hopes of providing the local cafe or hotel restaurant with an evening's crowd and happy returning customers.

How Do Black Cultures Mix, Clash?
During the presidential race, some people debated if Barack Obama was "black enough" because he is the son of a Kenyan and the descendant of slave owners on his mother's side; not a descendant of blacks who were enslaved.
But what do black Americans from different ethnic backgrounds have in common? Farai Chideya takes a look at multiculturalism in the black American community.
She speaks with Jason Walker, president of United for Jamaica and head of the Caribbean Department for WRFG Radio in Atlanta; Sope Ogunyemi, a Los Angeles-based media professional who came to the United States from Nigeria in 1994; and Edwin Okong'o, associate editor and director of communications for New America Media.

FRITCH - Shifting wind patterns forced the postponement Friday of prescribed burns at Lake Meredith National Recreation Area, but park officials are hoping to conduct the burns today, weather permitting.
The controlled burns are designed to clear out brush and debris as part of a program to allow native plants to thrive and reduce the danger from wildfires, the release stated.
Park officials started burning Friday afternoon, but the wind picked up and shifted directions, forcing the postponement of the burn, according to a Lake Meredith press release.
Burns are planned for the Sanford-Yake and Cedar Creek area. Some of the public areas may be shut down during the burns, according to the release.

How The Tribune Company And The DOJ Turned A 40 Minute Web Defacement Into $1 Million In 'Damages'
from the fudging-the-numbers dept
Sarah Jeong, who's been doing an awesome job covering this for Motherboard, has a deep dive article looking at the case, which is totally worth reading. I wanted to dig in, though, just on the craziness of the $929,977 number and how that came about. First off, it appears that the feds pushed the Tribune Company to inflate the numbers. The original estimate from the Tribune Company turned out to be well below the $5,000 threshold, let alone the $900k+ number:
Again, assuming Keys actually did all these things, it would make him something of an immature jerk. But it still seems like a huge stretch to turn that into nearly a million dollars in damages, directly due to a CFAA violation. Either way, it's yet another reminder that when the DOJ decides it wants to take you down, it can find almost anything to use against you.

I am running WAMP and setting my site up locally before trying to move to an online host.
I had the site working fine, but since installing Dreamweaver, and messing around with Live Code, i've broken something.
my local wordpress site is at http://localhost/sitefolder/
From here, if I click to view a sub page the address shows:
It is missing the folder "sitefolder"
If I manually type in the address: http://localhost/sitefolder/pagename/ it works fine.
Any ideas how to fix - I'm just getting started with WP.
I've tried choosing a new permalink style to try to reset it, but I'm lost.

VESA Releases DockPort Standard
Subject: General Tech, Displays, Mobile | June 3, 2014 - 07:54 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: vesa, dockport, DisplayPort, amd
Remember DockPort? The three in one connection we have discussed in the past? The Thunderbolt-ish connection for devices with DisplayPort which allows transmission of audio and video plus USB data and power all on one connector. It's here! (even if the devices aren't quite common yet)
NEWARK, CA (3 June 2014) The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) today announced the release of the DockPort standard. Developed by several VESA member companies, DockPort is an optional extension of the DisplayPort standard that will allow USB 3.1 data and DC power for battery charging to be carried over a single DisplayPort connector and cable that also carries high-resolution audio/video (A/V) data.
This new extension of the DisplayPort standard is fully backward compatible with all existing DisplayPort devices. When a DockPort-enabled DisplayPort source such as a computer or tablet is connected with a DockPort-enabled DisplayPort sink such as a display monitor or docking station A/V plus USB data and power will be transferred over a common cable through a single connector. If either the source or sink device is not a DockPort-enabled, then source and sink will recognize only the DisplayPort A/V data stream.
As computing platforms become increasingly mobile, it becomes necessary to reduce the number of external connectors, explained Steve Belt, Corporate Vice President - Strategic Alliances & Solutions Enablement AMD, a VESA member company. With DockPort, VESA has developed a technology standard that enhances elegant docking designs, reduces mobile form factors, and enriches the user experience with streamlined, one-cable access to a wide range of external displays, peripherals and storage.
DockPort is the first royalty-free industry standard that combines these three essential interface functions into a single connector. VESA first revealed its intention to develop this standard at the 2014 International Consumer Electrics Show. It anticipates that several vendors will demonstrate DockPort-enabled DisplayPort systems at Computex Taiwan, which begins today.
Until today, most mobile computing platforms required three separate interfaces to support power charging, data transmission and external video, said Chris Griffith, Business Development Manager for Consumer and Computing Interface at Texas Instruments, a VESA member company. With DockPort, VESA has elegantly merged this ungainly tangle of wires into a single, sleek connector, combining power charging with the industrys most popular data transportUSBand the industrys highest-speed A/V transportDisplayPort. DockPort can reduce system implementation cost as designers can reduce external connectors and simplify docking implementations.
VESA is developing a compliance test protocol to certify systems that meet the DockPort standard. Systems that satisfy this test protocol will be permitted to display VESAs new DockPort logo on their packaging as a guide for consumers seeking this capability.
The new DockPort standard demonstrates the enormous adaptability of the DisplayPort standard, according to VESA Board Chair Alan Kobayashi, Fellow & Executive R&D Management for DisplayPort Group at MegaChips Technology America. On the one hand, DisplayPort is a flexible A/V transport protocol that easily coexists with other protocols, like USBit plays nicely with others. On the other hand, DisplayPort is also a robust and proven connector design whose electro-mechanical properties can accommodate data and power over a common passive copper cable and interface.
Computex 2014: Acer XB280HK Is 28-inch 4K with G-Sync
Subject: General Tech, Displays, Shows and Expos | June 2, 2014 - 03:27 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: XB280HK, g-sync, computex 2014, computex, acer, 4k
Speaking of G-Sync monitors, Acer has announced a 4K monitor ahead of Computex with NVIDIA's adaptive refresh rate technology. While they do not ever say that it is 60Hz, I believe that it is. It also seems to be based on a TN panel. It, being G-Sync, connects with DisplayPort 1.2 and also includes four USB 3.0 ports. It, however, does not seem to support the competing AMD's FreeSync, integrated into VESA's DisplayPort 1.2a standard.
We do not currently have an image of the monitor
4K could be where we really start seeing benefits for G-Sync. At that resolution, it is very difficult to get a system, regardless of how many GPUs are inside it, which can play the most modern of games without dipping below 60 FPS. Once you miss your 16.67 millisecond window, your game starts hitching between images living 33.33ms and 16.67ms, when each frame is supposed to be presented at a constant rate.
As for pricing and availability: Q2 (early May to end of July). That's all we know.

Computex 2014: ASUS PG278Q Is G-Sync and 144Hz at 1440p
Subject: General Tech, Displays, Shows and Expos | June 2, 2014 - 02:28 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: g-sync, displays, display, computex 2014, computex, asus, 2560x1440, 144hz, 1440p
NVIDIA's G-Sync allows video cards to time the refresh rate of monitors. This is an advantage because the GPU knows when a frame is actually ready to be displayed to the user. The initial batch of announcements were each 1080p monitors, which are least likely to dip down into the 30-60Hz gap where G-Sync is noticeable.
Today at Computex, ASUS has announced a 27", 2560x1440, 144Hz G-Sync display. This higher resolution is starting to reach the point where faster graphics cards struggle to maintain 60 FPS. Not only that, but it is one of the first 1440p panels that you can get which supports high (over 100Hz) refresh rates, officially. Others exist, but "rare" is an understatement.
Its response rate is 1ms (GTG) which, unfortunately, suggests a TN panel. This might be a deal-breaker for some, but if you are looking for a G-Sync, 1440p, and high refresh rate panel, then it might be an acceptable compromise.
The ASUS PG278Q is available in Q2, which ASUS seems to define as the beginning of May to the end of July, for $799 USD. Unfortunately for AMD fans, the panel does not seem to support FreeSync, recently added to DisplayPort 1.2a. FreeSync, of course, is the competitor to G-Sync that AMD proposed to the VESA standards body.

Computex 2014: ASUS PA328Q 60Hz, Professional 4K Panel
Subject: General Tech, Displays | June 2, 2014 - 03:20 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: pq321q, PA328Q, displays, display, computex 2014, computex, asus, 4k
You might remember the ASUS PQ321Q 4K monitor from last year that we loved. It was based on an IGZO panel and allowed for 60Hz via one DisplayPort 1.2 cable, running in Multi Stream Transport (MST). At Computex 2014, ASUS announced the PA328Q. This "ProArt" panel ships calibrated and offers 10-bit, 100% sRGB color representation. More interestingly, it supports HDMI 2.0 as well as DisplayPort 1.2, for 4K at 60Hz, apparently over a single cable.
The monitor also has an extra mini DisplayPort connector and two HDMI 1.4 inputs. Also, four (4) USB 3.0 ports and a headphone jack. I guess professionals like high-speed removable storage.
Some points that I would like to see clarified are:
- its Adobe RGB coverage (for printer color spaces)
- its panel type (I expect IGZO)
- and its pricing (and availability)...
I do not know how this fits in to the ASUS product stack, relative to the $3500 PQ321Q. It includes more modern connections and could hit the checkboxes for digital content creation at 4K. Its price might give us an idea about where it stands... or it might just blow our minds, one way or the other. For now, I don't know.

4K for $649
The growth and adoption of 4K resolution panels (most commonly 3840x2160) has really been the biggest story of the past year or so in the world of PC gaming. After a couple of TVs that ran at 3840x2160 over HDMI at 30 Hz found there way into our offices, the first real 60 Hz 4K monitor that I got some hands on time with was the ASUS PQ321Q. This monitor was definitely targeted at the profressional market with its IGZO display (near IPS quality) and somewhat high price tag of $3500. It has since dropped to $2400 or so but it remains somewhat complicated by the use of MST technology (multi-stream transport) that was required to hit 60 Hz.
Earlier this month I took a look at the Samsung U28D590D 28-in 4K panel that was capable of 60 Hz refresh rates for just $699. This display used a single-stream transport DisplayPort connection to keep setup simple but used a TN panel rather than IPS/IGZO. This meant viewing angles were not as strong (though better than most TN screens you have seen before) but...that price!
Today we have our second low cost, SST 4K monitor to evaluate, the ASUS PB287Q. We saw it at CES back in January and with a launch date of June 10th and an MSRP $649, ASUS is setting itself up for an impressive release.
So what can you expect if you purchase the ASUS PB287Q 4K monitor? In short you get an adequate screen that won't live up to IPS standards but is just good enough for the PC gamer and productivity user in all of us. You'll also get a form factor that well exceeds that of the Samsung U28D590D with fully moveable stand and VESA mounting. And a price of $649 for a 3840x2160 screen doesn't hurt either.
Read on the next pages for more details on the user experience in Windows 8.1 as well as while gaming to see if this is the right monitor for you to buy this summer!

Acer Announces World's First 4K Display with NVIDIA G-SYNC Technology
Subject: Displays | May 22, 2014 - 11:30 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: nvidia, monitor, g-sync, acer, 4k
We've been talking about the benefits 4K for a while, most recently with the Samsung U28D590D, which added single-stream 60Hz support to the mix, but there have certainly been some drawbacks with 4K monitors to date. Between usually low refresh rates and the general problem of getting smooth images on the screen (not to mention the high price of entry into 4K) there have been some legitimate questions about when to upgrade. Well, an interesting new product announcement from a surprising source might change things.
With a logo like that, who needs product photos?
Today, Acer is announcing an interesting alternative: the world's first 4K monitor with integrated NVIDIA G-SYNC technology.
The XB280HK will be a 28" display, and (provided you have an NVIDIA graphics card and were looking to make the move to 4K) the benefits of G-SYNC - which include minimizing stutter and eliminating tearing - seem ideal for extremely high-res gaming.
We'll be eagerly awaiting a look at the performance of this new monitor. (Or even a look at it, since Acer did not release a product photo!)
The details are scarce, but Acer says this will be a part of their "XB0" series of gaming monitors. Here are some specs for this 28" 3840x2160 display, which features three proprietary technologies from Acer:
- "Flicker-less" which Acer says is implemented at the power supply level to reduce screen flicker
- "Low-dimming" which sounds like an ambient light sensor to dim the monitor in low light
- "ComfyView" non-glare screen
Of interest, the Acer XB280HK is likely using a TN panel given the claimed "170/170 degree" viewing angle.
The hardware needed for good 4K frame rates are definitely up there, and with G-SYNC onboard the XB280HK will probably not be in the low-end of the 4K price range, but we shall see!
Oculus VR Grabs Google Glass Electrical Engineer

Tagged: oculus vr, Oculus, facebook, google glass
Who would have thought that John Carmack would have opened the flood gates of talent to Facebook. Apparently, not only was he the first in a long list of people to join Oculus, a large chunk of his coworkers at id Software followed him over (if a Glassdoor review is to be trusted) in Februrary. Their latest grab is Adrian Wong, former senior hardware engineer for Google's Glass Explorer program.
Didn't see that one coming...
Clearly, something is happening at Oculus VR. This acquisition by Facebook is giving them a warchest to grab as much top talent as possible. Ironically, without Oculus, I doubt that most of these hires, if any, would happen. Without knowing the internal structure of Facebook and Oculus, it is hard to predict how much benefit the parent company can gather, but the acquisition could be paying for itself in raw talent.
The Oculus Rift DK2, announced at GDC, is currently a $350.00 pre-order and expected to ship in August.
Move over G-Sync! FreeSync arrives on DisplayPort 1.2a

Tagged: g-sync, freesync, displayport 1.2a, adaptive sync
AMD might have originally thought that dynamic refresh rates were not worth adding to their machines but they did develop FreeSync quite a while ago and now that G-Sync is available they've changed their minds. Even better for the consumer is the way that they went about releasing it; not as proprietary hardware which is only compatible with certain monitors but as an update to the DisplayPort standard which does not require any extra hardware. We do still have a while to wait before these monitors hit the shelves, the display scaler and control chips manufactures will have to incorporate the new standard into their designs but once they do they should be functional on both NVIDIA and AMD as long as you are connecting with DisplayPort. Read more about the process on The Tech Report.
Also, you can read the official VESA press release.
"PC gaming animation may soon become more fluid than ever, thanks to a development just announced by the folks at the VESA display standards organization. VESA has officially added a feature called Adaptive Sync to the DisplayPort 1.2a specification, which means that a G-Sync-style adaptive refresh mechanism could be built into nearly every new desktop monitor in the coming months and years."

3840x2160 for Cheap!!
It has been just over a year ago when we first got our hands on a 4K display. At the time, we were using a 50-in Seiki 3840x2160 HDTV that ran at a 30 Hz refresh rate and was disappointing in terms of its gaming experience, but impressive in image quality and price ($1500 at the time). Of course, we had to benchmark graphics cards at 4K resolutions and the results proved what we expected - you are going to need some impressive hardware to run at 4K with acceptable frame rates.
Since that story was published, we saw progress in the world of 4K displays with the ASUS PQ321Q, a 4K monitor (not a TV) that was built to handle 60 Hz refresh rates. The problem, of course, was the requirement for a multi-stream connection that essentially pushes two distinct streams over a single DisplayPort cable to the monitor, each at 1920x2160. While in theory that wasn't a problem, we saw a lot configuration and installation headaches as we worked through the growing pains of drivers and firmware. Also, it was priced at $3200 when we first reviewed it, though that number has fallen to $2400 recently.
Today we are looking at the Samsung U28D590D, the first 4K panel we have seen that supports a 60 Hz refresh rate with a single stream (single tile) implementation. That means that not only do you get the better experiences associated with a 60 Hz refresh rate over a 30 Hz, you also gain a much more simple and compatible installation and setup. No tricky driver issues to be found here! If you have a DisplayPort 1.2-capable graphics card, it's just plug and play.
The Samsung U28D590D uses a 28-in TN panel, which is obviously of a lower quality in terms of colors and viewing angles than the IGZO screen used on the ASUS PQ321Q, but it's not as bad as you might expect based on previous TN panel implementations. We'll talk a bit more about that below. The best part of course is the price - you can find the Samsung 4K panel for as low as $690!

If you are going to use Windows 8 as your OS you will find it is a better overall experience to use if you have a touchscreen. With mobile devices that is not a problem but for the most part desktop systems do not tend to sport a touchscreen. Enter the Philips 231C5 SmoothTouch a 23" IPS 1080p display with a built in webcam and microphone as well as multi-touch capability of course. The array of inputs are sufficient, two HDMI ports – one with MHL capabilities, DisplayPort, VGA, two USB 3.0 ports and stereo audio. Before you dismiss this display completely you should check out eTechnix full review.
"When Microsoft announced the imminent launch of Windows 8, one of the revolutionary aspects of the new operating system was its more streamlined integration into touch screen devices. Since that time we have seen touch screen capable notebooks and Ultrabooks swarm the market and the era of the touch screen computer has changed the way that many of us have interacted with our systems."

Hi everybody!
I'm trying to find out, on behalf of a friend (whos website it is) - how to add a forum. We both have no experience with websites and can't understand alot of what we've read on how to add a forum.
Could someone kindly give us some advice (in a "for dummies" kind of way if possible, since we are both newbies!) how to add one to our WordPress website?
Would be so very greatful!
If you need to know the website name, it's http://www.pets-ponies.com.
Any other advice would be great!
My friend is in love with pets (owns 7 horses and 6 dogs) and really wants this website to share her love with pets with others, and we hear a forum is the best way to share thoughts.
Thanks for reading!

David Marsh double keeps Clyde on play-off track
David Marsh scored twice as Clyde remained on track for the end-of-season Scottish League Two play-offs with a 3-1 win over 10-man Stirling.
Sean Dickson had headed narrowly wide for the visitors before at the other end David Gormley saw his effort on goal blocked.
And Clyde broke the deadlock in the 14th minute when Marsh drilled home following Scott Linton's corner.
It was 2-0 four minutes before the interval when Marsh headed home Ross Millen's cross.
The hosts made the game safe in the 62nd minute...
